Hunter Biden is an Angel Compared to Jared and Ivanka – Follow the Money
Donald Trump altered U.S. Foreign and Trade policies to boost his kids’ businesses – and why Hunter Biden should be left alone.

The talking heads are in a tizzy of speculation and affected wonderment. They cry: Isn’t it terrible ! Hunter Biden did drugs. Hunter Biden got indicted. Isn’t he a bad, bad boy. You can hear the mental midgets on Fox News mooing like contented cows chewing their cud.
If you think Hunter is an obnoxious character, you ought to survey the grasping, criminal tendencies of Trump’s charmed prince and princess, Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump.
The oil rich gulf state of Qatar wanted very sophisticated weapons from the United States. Some people in American foreign policy circles weren’t sure if the tender of this weaponry was appropriate. However,
Qatar got the weapons because Qatar invested hundreds of millions of dollars in Jared’s real estate empire in New York City. It’s in the New York Times (Along with additional malevolent machinations pulled off by Jared) 1
But the good ole boys and good ole slobs don’t know anything about this. Indeed, they enjoy not knowing anything and are the descendants of America’s 19th century “know nothing” political movement, a gang of oafs, yokels and mental defectives who prided themselves on their phenomenal ignorance. Their conspiracy theories were so florid and fantastic they match Q anon in psychotic intensity. Sample this: They were so intensely anti Catholic that they preached that Catholic priests raped nuns and then strangled the babies they had sired. (And I used to think that my fellow Bolshevik Jewish friends were anti-Catholic)
Just as Jared is cossetted with ill-gotten billions, so is Ivanka. The Trump administration, at the outset, actually had a couple of decent ideas: It wanted to increase our exports to China and reduce our imports. However, Trump, to a large extent, forgot about this. Trump decided that he wanted to help one American merchant peddle its junk. That merchant was Ivanka Trump. The Trump administration finagled the Chinese to grant a host of indulgences to increase Ivanka’s sale of goods in China. Very simply, Trump agreed that it would forget about American exporters in general so one exporter, Ivanka Trump, would glitter and gleam like a thousand diamonds radiating unbridled arrogant affluence. 2
But the press would rather forget about that. Understanding economic transactions is just too taxing for the stunted brains of the prima donnas of America’s godforsaken chatrooms and imbecilic internet culture.
Instead, they will pile on Hunter, who lost his mother and sister when he was a toddler, and whose brother -- his life raft to human fellowship and sanity – was taken by cancer in his 40’s. And what did Hunter do that was so terrible ?
Yeah, he may have gotten some hot jobs because of who his Daddy is. But all over America millions of rich kids got nice jobs and rich toys because of who their father is. George W Bush got out of military service in Vietnam because of his Father’s elite status, and George W, that apotheosis of mediocrity, became President. But has anyone cited an incident in which United States policy was altered to give Hunter special benefits. No one has been able to do this.
Ah, but Trump will not only alter US policy to augment his own personal fortunes; he will subvert US policy to advance his own partisan interests. Just remember: Although the US foreign policy establishment is uniformly pro Ukraine, Trump told the Ukrainians that he would not give them aid unless they dug up dirt on Hunter Biden.
However, for some sick reason the last poll I heard showed Trump one point ahead of Biden.
This lamentable state of affairs prompts me to paraphrase Harry Truman.
In his 1948 speech accepting the Democratic nomination for the presidency, Harry Truman said that farm income was 2 and one half billion dollars in 1933 and had risen to 18 billion dollars in 1947, and then Harry said, “And if the farmers of America don’t do right by the Democratic Party, they are the most ungrateful people I ever did see.”
(Today Democrats beg blacks and poor people to vote democratic and seem condescending, fearful and insincere. Truman was a poor person: He couldn’t go to college because he had to work on the family farm when his Father died, and when his mother’s appendix was removed, he held the lantern, over his Mother’s abdomen, while the surgeon performed the emergency appendectomy on the kitchen table of the Truman farmhouse. Because he was poor, he could speak to poor people as if he were one of them.)
I say: If the American people can’t see through the hogwash and bullshit peddled by the Republican party and their co conspirators in places like Fox News, they are the dumbest little bastards I ever did see.
