Joe Biden’s oft-repeated claim that he “never discussed” Hunter’s business dealings with him is a total lie. But the media have repeated that lie and hid behind that lie to avoid seriously scrutinizing the president, who is known for his legendary ability to misspeak and stretch the truth.

Well, here’s the latest development that blows another huge hole in Biden’s already shattered defense.

Devon Archer is one of Hunter’s primary business associates. He’s scheduled to testify before Congress about the numerous times that Hunter Biden would put his father on speakerphone with his clients to “seal the deal.” According to Archer, this happened at least “two dozen times.”

This is an interesting development that comes on the heels of a curious report last month that Hunter Biden’s business paid $300 a month for a special global cellphone that was used not by Hunter Biden, but by Joe Biden when he was still vice president in the Obama White House.

By the way, Archer isn’t the only credible witness who alleges that Joe Biden was “dialed in” to Hunter’s foreign business schemes. Tony Bobulinski has previously said:

“I am also aware of other Biden family business associates confirming that Joe would take phone calls from Hunter in the middle of business meetings and would weigh in via speakerphone… The American people don’t fully appreciate yet the key role Joe Biden played in the Biden family global influence peddling.”

Democrats In Denial

Last week, the House Energy and Commerce Committee debated major legislation to address various public health issues in the country. One of the bills under consideration involved funding to children’s hospitals. More specifically, it prohibited funding to children’s hospitals if they performed radical mutilating transgender surgeries on children.

In support of this commonsense legislation, Rep. Kat Cammack (R-FL) wanted to show a video of a so-called “doctor” who performs such surgeries. The “doctor” admits that these are essentially experimental procedures and they are “still figuring out what works.”

But before this video was played before the House Energy and Commerce Committee, Democrats aggressively objected and then stormed out of the committee room in protest. They didn’t want to hear the truth. They are willfully ignorant and want to remain that way.

After all, it’s much easier to parrot talking points in defense of the absurd and the insane when you don’t know the truth. It’s easier to support unproven experiments on children if you don’t know the facts.

One big reason so many leftist politicians are all in on this transgender insanity is because Planned Parenthood is all in on transing kids. And very few, if any, elected Democrats have the courage to cross Planned Parenthood.

I am pleased to report that the House legislation to defund transgender procedures at children’s hospitals passed the Energy and Commerce Committee, but, sadly, on a purely party-line vote.

I am also pleased to report that Senator J.D. Vance (R-OH) has introduced legislation to protect children from these extreme medical interventions, just as much of Europe is now doing.

And kudos to the courageous de-transitioners who are coming forward to expose the pain and suffering that has been inflicted upon them and countless other children by leftist propaganda and greedy “doctors.”

This insanity must stop!

Kirby Goes Crazy

Retired Real Admiral John Kirby is probably the most effective spokesman for the Biden White House. He’s certainly much better at the job than White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre. He’s very good at deflecting tough questions and has a very even keeled demeanor.

But I was astonished by his bizarre defense last week of the Pentagon’s new pro-abortion policy that subsidizes travel costs for female (and presumably even “male” personnel) seeking abortions.

Kirby said that when our brave sons and daughters enlist in the military, they have every right to expect that the military will take care of them and their families, and that “reproductive [health] care is a foundational sacred obligation of military leaders.”

Well, using Pentagon resources to subsidize abortion is a violation of federal law and has been for decades. Our patriotic recruits who volunteer for military service aren’t signing up for “free abortions.” That’s insulting to our troops!

But what really struck me was how passionate the mild-mannered Kirby was about this issue, as he pounded the podium and declared the destruction of innocent babies to be a “sacred obligation.”

There was no such passion from Admiral Kirby when 13 brave Americans were brutally murdered at the Kabul airport because of Joe Biden’s incompetence. Kirby said the Biden Administration was “proud” of that disastrous retreat, adding, “For all this talk of chaos, I just didn’t see it. Not from my perch.”

There’s considerable irony here, too.

For decades, the political left has accused the American military of being “baby killers.” When our soldiers returned from Vietnam, they were advised not to wear their uniforms because they would be attacked and smeared as “baby killers.”

Civilians, tragically, die in any war. And civilized nations go out of their way to avoid civilian casualties and the death of the innocent.

But leftists are the real “baby killers,” who seek to destroy as many innocent pre-born children as possible. Now, under Joe Biden, they are quite literally turning our military into what they falsely accused it of being — “baby killers.”
