On Monday, Hunter Biden will finally make it to Arkansas. The Natural State is not a Biden family favorite but there is one thing that would ordinarily be an attraction: Biden's daughter Navy Joan. In the Biden family, the four-year-old girl remains "she who must not be named" literally. Not only has President Biden refused to refer to her as a grandchild or even include a Christmas stocking with the other children, her father Hunter is fighting to prevent her from using the Biden name. Indeed, the only reason that Hunter is coming to the same state with his daughter is to seek to limit his child support.
The viciousness of the Biden family in dealing with this little girl is only matched by that of the media. Reporters who profess to support women and denounce deadbeat dads have either ignored this story or belittled her mother, Lunden Roberts.
Roberts is widely dismissed as a "former stripper." That appears how she met Hunter, but it is often used to paint her in the same way that the media gleefully reported Hillary Clinton denouncing women involved with her husband as mere "bimbo eruptions."
The media ignores Roberts because it wants to ignore what the Bidens have done collectively. This is one single mother's story that is not considered fit to print.
Yes, Roberts was an exotic dancer. She used that job to go to one of the most expensive colleges in the country, George Washington University where I teach. When she became pregnant, she decided to have her child and raise her on her own. She has raised this child without a father and fought one of the most powerful families in the world.
When Navy Joan is older, there is every reason for her to be proud of the struggle that her mother went through in seeking a college education and raising her against all odds.
Despite Joe Biden long campaigning against deadbeat dads, his son refused to acknowledge that he was the father of Navy Joan and, after a court forced him to confirm his paternity through DNA testing, he continued to fight support for his child. Hunter's delay and evasion of filings and depositions led a court to repeatedly threaten sanctions.
However, the effort to bar this child from using the Biden name has moved this scandal from the realm of hypocrisy to monstrosity. It is hard to imagine the pain that this child will experience upon learning of how the Bidens erased any reference to her and fought even her ability to claim to be a member of their family. (Even the Biden's dogs and cats got stockings at Christmas but not their granddaughter who they have never asked to even see, let alone support).
Hunter Biden has also been hiding out on a Biden donor's vineyard to avoid being subpoenaed by his former paramour, who seeks financial records to disprove his claims of poverty.
Meanwhile, The Very Stupid Man Who Believes That Hunter Biden Is a Smart Man sees his approval rating sink to new low.
President Biden's approval rating has sunk to an all-time low as he embarks on his 2024 re-election effort, a new poll shows.
The survey, released by Gallup on Thursday, found that just 37% of US adults approved of the 80-year-old president's job performance, the lowest the polling outfit has measured since the start of his presidency.
Gallup found that 59% of adults said they disapproved of the job Biden has done as commander in chief.
The poll was conducted between April 3-25. It was completed on the day Biden announced he would seek a second term in office.
Biden's approval rating has been measured in the low 40% range for most of the last 19 months, according to the polling company, and the last time it was this low was in July 2022, when 38% said they disapproved of his job performance.
...
The country's oldest president in history made the decision to seek a second term despite polls showing that the majority of Americans, and most Democrats, don't want him to run again in 2024.
Biden would be 86-years-old by the end of a second term in the White House.
