Friday’s Final Word

Everybody’s closing tabbies for the weekend ...

Today, America First Legal (AFL) released new photographs of Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden during the Obama-Biden Administration, obtained through litigation against the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA). These images shed light on the connections between then-Vice President Biden, Hunter and his Chinese business associates, and Chinese government officials including President Xi Jinping. Lawyers and representatives for President Biden and President Obama delayed NARA’s release of these photographs, as they did with other records, until after Election Day.

Ed: Gee, and I wonder why people have lost trust in the institutions.

Hunter Biden was asked earlier this year by the House Oversight Committee about his meetings while traveling to Asia with his father.

"When we returned from an event to the hotel, there was a rope line, and Jonathan Li was in the lobby of the hotel where I was going to meet him for coffee," Hunter Biden said at the time. "In that line, I introduced my dad to Jonathan Li and a friend of his, and they shook hands and I believe probably took a photograph. And then my father went up to his room, and I went to have coffee with Jonathan Li."

Ed: If you’re expecting a new push to prosecute Hunter for perjury, forget it. Joe’s pardon precludes it by covering any potential federal crimes between January 1, 2014 to December 1, 2024. But it’s very clear that both Bidens have been lying for years.

Ed: Cotton wrote this before the release of the photos, too. He hasn’t commented on this story, but this may pretty much cover it anyway.

The sitting vice president was using his office to promote his son’s ambitions to earn tens of millions promoting the agenda of the Chinese Communist Party.

And the only thing Hunter ever had to sell was access to Joe, meaning his dad was advertising that he was indirectly for sale, you just needed to pay his son.

This was the fundamental takeaway of The Post’s reporting off of Hunter’s laptop back in October 2020.

But that news was significantly suppressed by media and social-media companies that chose to believe “the laptop is Russian disinformation” — which was itself a disinformation op by the Biden campaign (abetted by months of setup by federal “disinformation experts”).

Ed: The NY Post editorial board has every reason to demand answers not just from the Biden and Obama administration officials, but also from its competitors in the media industry. They sold out real reporting in order to regurgitate Democrat propaganda, and have never bothered to admit it, let alone apologize for it. They are every bit as corrupt as the Bidens.

Ed: I’d say that this report and the House Oversight Committee’s Republicans have been vindicated. Let’s see how many in the Protection Racket Media revisit this report in the days ahead.

I wish some cynical editor at the Journal had headlined Noonan’s column This Just In. Although it appears to have escaped Noonan’s notice, Biden’s decline has been visible to observers at least since the 2020 presidential campaign. Mark Halperin states that he observed Biden’s senility up close in 2017. He hammers on Biden’s calling out to deceased Rep. Jackie Walorski at a White House event in September 2022: “Where’s Jackie?” This was in public over two years ago.

Did Noonan miss this? Perhaps she swallowed KJP’s creative “explanation.”
