The 2024 presidential election is shaping up to be the dirtiest in 140 years.
And the discovery of a stash of cocaine in the White House last weekend will only add to the expected political nastiness, especially as President Joe Biden’s degenerate son Hunter, a one-time crack cocaine addict, is living there.
Whether it is Hunter Biden’s cocaine or not will make little difference. People will believe that it is. Stashing cocaine at the White House, of all places, will be an issue in the campaign even if it is covered up. So much for the war on drugs.
Back in 1884 New York Gov. Grover Cleveland, the Democrat presidential nominee, and a bachelor, was accused of fathering an illegitimate child ten years earlier.
The Democrats in turn attacked Republican candidate James G. Blaine of Maine, former Speaker of the House, accusing him of outright lying and corruption.
In the American Gilded Age version of attack ads, Democrats hounded Blaine with the chant of “Blaine, Blaine, James G. Blaine, Continental liar from the state of Maine.”
Not to be outdone, the Republicans went after Cleveland with a mocking song and chant by children at Cleveland’s public events that went, “Ma! Ma! Where’s my Pa?”
After Cleveland won the election, the Democrats responded by chanting, “Gone to the White House, Ha, Ha, Ha!”
In the campaign Cleveland, while never sure he was the father of the child, accepted responsibility and assisted the child financially and tried to set the mother up in a business. People admired him for his honesty.
That act alone stands in sharp contrast to the way Joe Biden does not even acknowledge the existence of Navy Roberts, his four-year old grandchild that was fathered by Hunter.
It took a court order by Lunden Roberts, a former Washington D.C. stripper, and a DNA test to prove that Hunter Biden was the father.
Hunter is now paying $5,000 a month to support the child neither he nor Joe Biden have never met or acknowledged, although Joe Biden often brags about talking to his six grandchildren every day, eliminating Navy, his seventh.
What is sadder is that the child knows who her father is and that her grandfather is the president. She also must know, or soon will, that he won’t know her.
How cruel is that?
So don’t be surprised if some fast-talking Republican political consultant restores the old Cleveland/Blaine chants, both of which fit, and applies them to Hunter Biden and the White House. He is the “Pa “and he is in the White House, “Ha, Ha, Ha.”
But it is more serious than that.
You now have cocaine in the White House, which is a symbol of the Biden’s failure to confront the drug crisis that is daily killing thousands of Americans, destroying families and ravaging our cities.
If you can find cocaine in the White House, you can find it anywhere.
And the best thing you can say about discovering a stash of cocaine is that it was not deadly fentanyl that is killing thousands daily.
Biden has opened the border to the world and millions of illegal immigrants have crossed into the United States without the U.S. even knowing who they are. The Mexican cartels have gotten rich openly using migrants to carry drugs into the U.S.
The cocaine that ended up at the White House no doubt came from Columbia, Bolivia or Peru where it is processed and shipped to the cartels in Mexico to be smuggled into the U.S. There is little to stop them.
Chinese Communist suppliers also send the components of fentanyl to cartel-controlled laboratories in Mexico where the finished substance is made, often mixed with other opioids.
The fentanyl, like the cocaine, is smuggled across the border and ends up killing Americans in the streets of cities across the country.
It is the biggest cash business in the world. The cash goes to China and Mexico, but the death toll stays in the U.S.
There is cocaine in the White House, Ha, Ha, Ha.
Wake up, Joe.
