No parent should be made responsible for crimes committed by their child. Otherwise my father would have ended up in prison the day that I threw a bottle at the town’s mayor from my pram. Seeing as I did it, it came to nothing. If my father had done it, it would have been an assault on authority. So no parent should be responsible for what their child does, unless they are in on it and are part of the plot by acts or omission. This “omission” includes receiving payments, gifts, or even advising the petty criminal to make more profit from his illegal activity. Is this what Joe Biden has done? I don’t know. But what I know for sure is that he knows. So, at the very least, Joe Biden has lied a lot, he has lied about this, and he has lied the whole time.
If you have a mischievous child and you are some anonymous middle-class citizen, without influence or even adequate knowledge to understand the mess your child is in, all you can do probably is shrug your shoulders and pray to St. Monica.
If you have a son getting into trouble and you are the president, have been vice president for eight years and senator for more than 30, and you are one of your country’s best-known and most influential politicians in recent decades, then the normal thing would be to use all the mechanisms, influences, and friends you have at hand to at least try to find out what kind of business your son is involved in.

If Joe Biden didn’t know exactly what his son was up to, then he was wrong to run before he figured it out. It doesn’t take a veteran FBI agent to figure out that Hunter doesn’t spend his free time going to church and donating to charities.
If Joe Biden knew what his son was up to, even if he thought that being president would make it easier to help him out of his problems unscathed, his fall will be so hard (it is only a matter of time) that it’s quite possible that the only thing that might save him is paradoxically his advanced age.
It does not take a Hunter Biden scandal to come to the conclusion that the Biden administration is an embarrassment for the United States, a waste of time, and a leap into the void by a nation driven to suicide by a Democratic Party in which, as in the West as a whole, the more radical Left has gradually taken power.
The post-modern Left is either far left or it is nothing at all. They tend toward totalitarianism, and Trump’s excuse of an unabashed mandate has given them an excuse to get rid of any and all moderation. They are used to a submissive Right. When conservatives behave with pride in their beliefs, the Left becomes radicalized because it becomes clear that they are worse at everything: ineffective in economic management, incapable of uniting a nation, poisonous with their ideological policy, ridiculous in energy and environmental policy, and unstable and weak in foreign policy.
The only way to stay in power then is to set the streets on fire with violence and sectarianism. That is the groove that the Democratic Party is stuck in. That is what the Biden administration is doing, even though, now that they are in power, they will often put on a mask of moderation. When their power becomes endangered, they will return to the streets, to BLM, and to justifying those who murder or set fire to shops.
But add to all this the embarrassing Biden corruption scandal, the amount of lies that have been told before and after the election, and this judicial ticking time bomb, and the only question on my mind is: what is he waiting for to go home?
It’s time to rest, Joe. While you’re sitting in your rocking chair, knitting and looking out the window, you’ll have time to prepare a better defense.
