President Joe Biden’s aides were reportedly instructed to ignore Hunter Biden’s estranged daughter when numbering his grandchildren. A recent in-depth report for the New York Times profiled Hunter Biden’s former lover, Lunden Roberts, and her quest to reach a child support settlement for their daughter, Navy Joan. The report confirmed the pair’s daughter will not be taking the Biden surname, which Hunter’s legal team requested, and also confirmed that Roberts will be taking some of Hunter’s paintings (which have gone for a price tag of $500,000) as part of the settlement.

President Biden has yet again refused to acknowledge his son Hunter's estranged 4-year-old daughter while speaking about his grandchildren as an Arkansas paternity case involving the ordeal heats up. On Thursday, Biden spoke to his staffers' children on Take Our Kids to Work Day, saying he speaks to his six grandchildren daily and is "crazy" about them, a White House reporter tweeted. While the comments may seem mundane and innocuous, Biden ignored his seventh grandchild, Navy Joan Roberts, who Hunter had with ex-stripper Lunden Roberts - a trend that has continued for some time. Biden has repeatedly acted as if...

President Joe Biden on Thursday falsely claimed he only has six grandchildren, ignoring Hunter Biden’s out-of-wedlock child, Navy Joan Roberts, whose mother Hunter pays child support to — even as he has an ongoing court case to reduce payments. Navy Joan Roberts, the four-year-old girl Hunter Biden bore out of wedlock four years ago, was ignored by Joe Biden during a “Take Your Child to Work Day Greet” day at the White House. “I have six grandchildren. And I’m crazy about them. I speak to them every single day, not a joke,” Biden told children outside the White House. “As...

The precept of honoring one’s parents is a force throughout one’s entire life. One is never free from this obligation.The precept of honoring one’s parents is a force throughout one’s entire life. One is never free from this obligation. This is an adapted excerpt from “Conservatism: A Rediscovery“Honor is one of the central ideas in a conservative political theory. I do not mean any particular code of honor, such as that which was accepted among English gentlemen two hundred years ago. Rather, I want to understand honor as a general phenomenon appearing across all human societies. In examining it, we...

A Los Angeles County woman and her four young grandchildren — including an infant — were found shot to death inside their home Sunday night. The children’s mother made the grisly discovery in the city of Lancaster shortly after 10:30 p.m., with the kids’ father later turning himself in to police, Fox affiliate KTTV reported Monday. Germarcus David, 29, is being held on $2 million bail after being hit with multiple homicide charges by the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, the outlet reported. Deputies answering a “rescue responding” call at the home found the grandmother suffering from gunshot wounds to...

I'm looking to find a syllabus that I could use to do Sunday School via teleconference with my grandson(s). File under: 21st Century Headlines. I have 2 grandsons, the older one is almost 7, so I'd be starting with him. The little one is only 2, so maybe just get him to do an art project or something for now. I'd be willing to spend some money to get a quality product I googled this and there were SO MANY ads that came up! Of course that made me happy, but I feel a little overwhelmed. So I figured I'd...

A little light to share in this world of Wrong. Sitting here waiting for my eleventh Grandchild to be born. :) It never gets old or normal and it is always such a joy... :)

Bill Clinton has let slip that his family are on baby watch after saying that he expected to become a grandparent by the end of the month. The former president gave a substantial clue to his only child Chelsea's due date when he told CNN: "I hope by the first of October, I'll be a grandfather. "I can't wait. We're on watch now," he went on.

Grandparents love to spoil their little treasures, a not so well kept secret parents of the child worry about, but they often have absolutely no legal rights to see their grandchildren. There are, however, laws that focus on the "best interest of the child" that a grandparent can utilize to ensure he or she is not denied the right to see their spoiled favorite little people. On the other hand, most times the elder generation is dependent almost fully on the middle generation's good nature and love for parent or mother/father-in-law in order to enjoy the youngest generation of the...

When Dr. Avram Hershko, 74, a biochemist at the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology in Haifa and a winner of the 2004 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, was recently asked to name the most important fact of his life, he answered: “That I love my three grandchildren. For two, three days every week, I take them to dance class, sport and school. I am completely in their lives.” Among top scientists, responses to such a question might well focus on prizes they’ve won or the import of their research. For Dr. Hershko, whose family was separated and sent to forced labor in...

When do we, the oppressed, tax-burdened serfs of the Feudal Lords of The Beltway FINALLY stand and deliver the simple NO! that has always caused similar despots to pause in their relentless drive to regulate, control and destroy America? I say the time to do so is immediately after THE NINE SUPREMES approve, in whole, or in part, Obama"care" Law's ruthless nationalization of 1/6 th of America's Economy! What say all of you?

Now that Obama is continuing to MELTDOWN by giving public speeches to HIMSELF, ( my personal favorite so far, is his recent speech in front of the Congressional Black Caucus ), we here at FR need to turn a larger share of our attention to supporting competent candidates for the US Senate. Our main problem, of course, is the large number of incumbent Senators who are Republican In Name Only ( RINO for you lurkers ) . These RINO Senators are more that willing to do their typical "Bipartisan Cave-In" to "save" ANY Liberal/Socialist bill, but they just might be...

Professor You Lie, currently on academic leave from the Chicago School of Bureaucratic Socialism, last night arrogantly delivered his usual cookie-cutter Keynesianism Socialist Lecture Number 14.6T to a partial Joint Session of Congress. Judging by the long faces of the assembled Democrats, I sensed an air of defeat. Had their guy thrown in the towel? It was a very tense 32 minutes for them as You Lie brought up the painful subjects of "dismantling the Government," "not raising taxes on anyone during their lifetime," (I guess they could make it retroactive, but I'm not a lawyer), "no more earmarks," and...

At 7:33 AM CDT Rick Santelli asked guest host Thomas L. Friedman, New York Times foreign Affairs Columnist, and author of his new book " That Used to be Us, " the following question: " Is Social Security a Ponzi Scheme ? " Tom replied, " Your question is idiotic ! " Rick then replied: " Your answer is idiotic! " GAME ON !

Back in the day, Frankie sat by his cuddly fire and opined about "Fear" and the glowing virtues of his and Ellie's New Deal. He was a great orator - - - . Ah , those were the days! Today, The New Deal has successfully bankrupted America AND we still have a great orator! Yes, indeedy! Professor You Lie is on hand to wax poetic on the updated agenda of this day: that golden, luxurious solver of all problems - - - ABUNDANT DEBT! Oh, joy! Oh, Rapture! But wait! There is evil all around us - - - ....

Question of the day that the Liberal Intelligentsia Elite Media will never ask is will Zero go "All In"and break the Bank? Or just slowly bleed America into becoming a third world country that can be more easily ruled?

Surrounded by his lap-dogs of the left, Professor You Lie picks up the rough draft of his 9-8-11 speech. It is a tense moment: will authors Porky Pelosi and Reid-in-the-wind hear their words, or the pretty words of You Lie? The silence is deafening! Quickly laying down the rough draft, You Lie says: " People will tell you that I am a "bank-bashing-Bolshevik." If that is the case, then why am I creating the National Infastructure Bank? People will tell you that James Hoffa, Junior yesterday made a speech attacking the Taxed Enough Already Party. That is not what I...

'Frankie and Ellie weren't sweethearts, but oh how they did hate the USA. They stuck in to us back then while chatting, by the fire of the of The New Deal, on display.' Yes indeed, THE NEW DEAL! To bad the unemployment rate was still 20 % when Pearl Harbor blew up. It would have been one data point to support ol' John Maynard Keynes and his style of Socialism. Did he ever visit America? Probably not. KM* never visited Russia. Both were Brits - - - . Anyway, we damn sure aren't going to get a positive data point...

The forces of Zero's Keynesianism and the tattered remnants of the Free Market proponents meet on 9-8-2011 to hear Zero arrogantly announce how HE plans to buy "jobs" with MY grandchildren's future paychecks. It will be an auspicious occasion I'm sure. Since I plan to watch The Packers whup up on the enemy, I though we could help Ol' Zero improve his " 9-8-jobs-can-wait" speech by including a few things that might, could work, and give us time to watch some FOOTBALL! All the L.I.E. Media wants to talk or write about is what Zero is going to say. At...

Noted unprofessional economist, Paul Harvey once said, " WHEN YOUR OUTGO EXCEEDS YOUR INCOME, YOUR UPKEEP WILL BE YOUR DOWNFALL. " That was fine back in the day before we had credit cards, but now we know that " Change [ read: Keynesianism ] has come to America. " At least that is what Professor You Lie said back in January, 2009. Well, here we are in September, 2011 and 4,000 billion dollars poorer, and still the basic question remains: Are we better off poor and freed from being "To Big to Fail" like those bad old private companies we...
