Why Not, Mr. President?

This morning on the way to work, I was listening to one of our local conservative radio stations (in St. Louis, we’re lucky…we have two). I had tuned in to NewsTalkSTL, and morning show host Vic Porcelli raised up a very interesting question. I had never considered it and wish I had been astute enough to think of it myself. However, I am not that astute, but I do recognize a valid point when I hear one, and I think this warrants a little discussion here.

Of all of the times Biden claimed that he had never communicated with his son Hunter about his business dealings, and as such, knew nothing at all about them, why had no one in the press ever asked him, “Why not?” 

August 2019

“First of all, I have never discussed with my son or my brother or anyone else anything having to do with their business, period,” Biden said in August 2019. 

September 2020

During a September 2020 presidential debate with then-President Trump, Biden repeatedly said, “None of that is true” when Trump invoked several foreign transactions regarding Hunter’s international business dealings. Biden further said it was “totally discredited.”

April 2022

“Does the president still maintain that he never spoke with his son about his business dealings? And given this reporting on Eric Schwerin, does he also say that he has never spoken to his son’s business partners about his son’s business dealings?” a reporter asked then-White House press secretary Jen Psaki in April 2022.

“He maintains his same statements that he’s made in the past,” Psaki responded. “I would say, no, you’re referring to records that were released more than 10 years ago. I really don’t have more detail or information on them. I’d note that there was a gap when the records were not released, but I don’t have more information about visits from more than 10 years ago.”

June 2023

Fox News White House correspondent Jacqui Heinrich asked President Biden if he lied about “never speaking to Hunter about his business dealings.”

“No,” Biden responded before continuing to walk away.

A great follow-up question in any of these instances would have been, “Why not?” Yes, why not? You are the president. You have a very personal relationship with your son. You publicly fawn over him often. He’s the smartest guy you know, and in that regard, you’re the most unique individual on the face of the earth, but you never ask him about that aspect of his life. How’s your work going? Do you have enough money? Are you happy with what you’re doing? No? Hmmmm…

I have two daughters and I very frequently ask them how their lives are going. One of them is a graduate student in another city and I ask her about the specifics of her education and part-time job nearly every week. It’s not that I’m nosey, I just want to know that she’s doing OK and is happy with her work. For us, this is normal fare because we have a very personal relationship and I fawn over her often. (I fawn over my other daughter as well, but about other stuff.) 

So, it seems odd to me that Biden went out of his way and over the top to deny ever having uttered one syllable to his own son about his livelihood. If his denials were true, then the old man must have had no idea at all what Hunter did for a living. What do you do for a living, Buddy? Oh, it’s better that I don’t know? Ok, you’re not doing anything illegal are you? Don’t ask?

That’s weird. It’s also unbelievable. So Joe-inflation-was-nine-perecent-when-I came -into-office-the-number-of-illegal-aliens-dropped-under-my-administration-Afghanistan-withdrawal-was a-great-success-Biden was obviously lying because his answers are simply garbage in addition to the emails, texts and pictures that now screw him to the wall. 

So there’s nothing new here. Biden is a habitual liar. Anyone who looks at him honestly knows this, so what I bring to the table today is just another prism to view his BS through. Hat tip to Vic Porcelli.

I guess my next question will be, Why do we put up with this garbage and how long will we put up with it for? And I suppose the answer is that as long as they feed it to us and as long as we eat it from them is how long we will put up with it. Grrrrr…
