Flotsam and Jetsam - The Family That Dodges Taxes Together

Matt Margolis at PJM breathlessly informs us Joe Biden's Brother Was Caught on Tape in FBI Bribery Sting. It sure looks like Biden sold his vote. At NRO, Americore Gave James Biden $600k Loan on Promise He’d Deliver Funding from Middle East, Trustee Says, but didn't. Mary Chastain at LI reveals Biden’s Daughter Ashley Owes $5,000 in Income Taxes in Pennsylvania,  “The period start date listed on the lien begins Jan. 1, 2015 – when Joe Biden was vice president in the Obama administration – and ends Jan. 1, 2021, days before he was sworn in as president.” Gee, why didn't she just get "loan" from Joe, like everybody else in the family? Madeleine Hubbard at JTN, Biden's daughter owes over $5,000 in income taxes, per lien documents. Capt. Ed at Hat Hair comments  "It’s not clear if this lien has been cleared. JTN reports that it “lasts through Jan, 1, 2021.” Did Ms. Biden pay the taxes and fines at that point, or did the lien either extend or renew? Ms. Biden declined to respond to Fox News, as did her attorney, so stay tuned. It does leave the impression that the Biden family had a certain contempt for paying “their fair share.”"  What is that, like 1 hour of Hunter's crack habit back then? Like Dear old Pop says, "Just pay your fair share."  At Da Caller, ‘Every Angle… Hurts Joe Biden’: Hunter’s Latest Stunt May Have Thrown His Dad Into A Messy Tangle, Strategists Say. From Off The Press, Psaki Wants Hunter Biden To Stop Talking In Public, Capt. Ed, "We’d like all of them to go away, frankly, but Psaki is obviously correct here. This isn’t even a good legal strategy, but it’s even worse as a political strategy. The White House has been leaking its displeasure with Abbe Lowell and Hunter over their PR strategy, and Psaki undoubtedly hears earful of that from her former colleagues in the West Wing." Benny Johnson at YouTube, Tucker REVEALS Who Left COKE at the White House: 'I Leave Mine in The Car.'

Ace, Barack  Obama: Yeah, Joe Biden Might Lose in 2024 and My Third Term Might End "Via Karen Townsend. This doesn't necessarily mean anything. Even when Democrats thought they had the "fortified" election of 2020 in hand, they worried that overconfidence would lead to complacency would lead to their voters not showing up to vote. (As if the Democrat Party depends on voters actually voting!)" Breitbart touts a Monmouth Poll: Joe Biden’s Approval Rating Falls to Lowest of Presidency. Ryan King at NYPo finds Even Kamala Harris now viewed more favorably than Joe Biden as Dems panic over dismal ‘24 polls, Capt. Ed notes It’s more of a statistical tie, but why let that interfere with the fun? Even a tie with VP Word Salad is embarrassing. At least she doesn't actually hurt us very much, if only because she's so ineffective. Tom Elliott@tomselliott, "NBC interviews young voters: ‘‘Almost every issue in my head that’s important to me ... I see a failure on Biden’s part."" Althouse, "Poll Finds Wide Disapproval of Biden on Gaza, and Little Room to Shift Gears/Opinion is split between those wanting the war to end and those pressing for a definitive Israeli victory, and the divide is starkest among older and younger generations." "The NYT reports." Also, This isn't really news, unless the news is that Biden is sentient.  "Obviously, the poll numbers are "dismal," and anyone in his position would feel bad about it. Why is this news? I expect my readers to be gearing up to opine that the news outlet in question — The Washington Post — is simply executing its own plan to induce Biden to give up running for reelection."  At Am Think, Silvio Canto thinks It's beginning to look like... 1968?  "Mr. President, it’s Robert Kennedy who will spoil your election night party." Fred Bauer at Da Telegraph, Biden has lost the battle for the soul of the nation, "Far from restoring decency to the White House, the Biden administration has found itself mired in scandal." Capt. Ed,  "That was the idea all along. Biden has never been anything *but* a vicious demagogue; was decency on the ballot when Biden accused Mitt Romney of wanting to put black people “back in chains,” for instance? He’s Harry Reid with bigger teeth and far fewer brain cells or scruples. The “decency” pitch has been Biden’s excuse for all kinds of fabulism and vituperation." Breitbart, ‘Adults in Charge’: Top Nine Degenerate Democrat Scandals Under Joe Biden. Hat Hair's Jazz Shaw is amazed that Biden Is a Write-in Candidate in New Hampshire. Somebody forgot to file... It's only the primary, though. Alicia Colon at Am Think wonders Is the Bubble You Live In Making You Dumb?  "At present, polls show that his approval ratings are the lowest ever for an incumbent president but the very fact that 30% of those polled still believe he’s doing a good job means that idiocracy is now the normal state in America." The Free Bacon wants you to WATCH: You Know Joe Biden's Brain Isn't Working When He Uses This Word "He uses it A LOT." Anyway . . . Althouse finds Nikki Haley saying "I'll just say it: Biden's too old.... We need... mental competency tests for politicians...."

Will Kessler at Da Caller claims a Majority Of Small Businesses Not Seeing Holiday Bump As Consumers Run Out Of Cash: POLL. The Messenger reports Car Buyers Increasingly Owe More Than Their Vehicles Are Worth as Interest Rates Rise "Buyers with negative equity on their loans owe more than $6,000, according to Bloomberg." Insty, UNEXPECTEDLY: Biden ditches trade deal talks with Britain. "Joe Biden has shelved plans for a pact with Britain that could have paved the way for a full post-Brexit trade deal. The US president has decided not to move forward with a “foundational” agreement prepared by the US Trade Representative’s Office, which would have included negotiations over 11 areas of trade and regulation, following opposition from his party in the Senate. . . .I wonder if Joe’s boss made the decision? Flashback to April of 2016: A British politician says Barack Obama is the most anti-British president ever." Beege Welborn, Baby, You Can Pay My Bills: 40% of Student Loans Borrowers Miss That First Payment. From Da Caller, Donors From The Richest Zip Codes In America Are Throwing Their Support Behind Biden.

Dave Catron at Am Spec speculates Can Trump Really Win in 2024? "Not if Democrats manipulate the vote tally with mail-in votes." They'll do it regardless of who the Republican candidate is. They got away with it last time. Breitbart, Hillary Clinton Fuels Trump ‘Dictator’ Fears: ‘Take Him at His Word.’ Pure projection on her part. Bob Cherry at Am Spec, says Trump Is No ‘Threat to Democracy’ "Democrats would rather demonize Trump than reconsider failed policies." TNP, NYT Columnist Says Trump Support Less Excusable Than Slavery, David French. Monica Showalter at Am Think has  A disheartening report about how Trump was convinced to go along with lockdowns. He assumed the experts meant well for the country, instead of themselves. Matt Margolis worries Are We Underestimating the Democrats in 2024? PM, Tulsi Gabbard warns AmFest crowd that Democrat elites are 'willing to do anything' to hold onto power in 2024, "The future of our country is at risk and we are the only ones that can save her."  

At Da Caller, Elected Democratic Official Fined For Voting Twice In 2020 Election Maryland and D.C. "She reportedly told the Board of Elections that since DC is not a state, she believed voting twice would be acceptable." Shawn Fleetwood at Da Fed shows the Media Lie About This Leftist-Linked Voter Roll ‘Maintenance’ Group To Protect Democrats’ Election Machine.

Also at Da Fed, Tristan Justice notes a New Low: Only 6 Percent Of Americans Approve Of GOP Leader Mitch McConnell. No one like's other people Congresscritters, and he's particularly unlikeable. But I cut him a whole lot of slack for the Supreme Court.

Rep. Barry Loudermilk@RepLoudermilk, "Rep. Bennie Thompson admitted that he and Liz Cheney sent ‘evidence’ to GA DA Fani Willis, but he’s keeping it from @HouseGOP. He didn’t follow House rules and now he’s refusing to tell us which records he sent. What are House Dems trying to hide?" At Da Fed MD Kittle wants you to Meet The J6 Defendant Standing Up Against A DOJ Bent On Collecting Heads. Althouse finds "If I'm going to rebrand myself, it would be maybe 'America's shaman' because the QAnon label has been stigmatized with the number of sub-labels or subcategories..." ""... conspiracy theories, white supremacists, terrorists.... I don't want to be associated with anything that the media has already maligned." Said Jacob Chansley, quoted in "QAnon Shaman Rejects Conspiracy Theory That Helped Make Him Famous" (Newsweek)." Is he seeking another 15 minutes of fame?

Rudy Giuliani to Newsmax: D.C. Verdict Only Proved It's 'A Fascist Court' Capt. Ed is unsympathetic,
"Well, maybe, but this was a ‘fascism’ of Giuliani’s own making. He refused to fully comply with discovery, even after being given multiple opportunities to cooperate. Howell imposed escalating sanctions in response to Giuliani’s refusal to comply with legitimate discovery deadlines, and eventually got stuck with the bill. As far as putting on a defense, Giuliani stipulated at one point that his allegations were false but still covered by the First Amendment, only to later contradict that publicly. Giuliani has plenty of opportunity to appeal on all of these issues, which argues against ‘fascism.’" At Da Fed, the unsinkable Mollie Hemingway wants you to Meet Lawyer Michael Dreeben, The Man Behind Three Major Anti-Trump Operations. Interesting, if only because I'd can't remember seeing his name before.

Vicky Taft at PJM notes Elon Musk Moves to #1 on Joe Biden's Enemies ListInsty, THE EMPIRE STRIKES MUSK: “If you go back through the news over the past two years, you will see a steady stream of threats made by US and European government officials–elected and administrative–towards Musk. They made it very clear that he either gets on board with their agenda or the West’s governments would destroy him. Last week, I wrote about one case of the Biden Administration’s weaponization of government against Musk. Today I have the displeasure of reporting that the European Union is trying to shut down Twitter/X due to its nefarious practice of not policing speech harshly enough.” Related: Why Establishment Knives Are Out For Elon Musk. zerohedge@zerohedge "Media Matters Sues Texas AG in Maryland Over Investigation Of Its Report On Musk's X."  Tucker Carlson@TuckerCarlson, "Ep. 55  Corporate media is dead, which is why The Babylon Bee is more trusted than CNN."
