With Biden being all over the news, I kept thinking his son died of suicide so I did a little digging. It wasn’t suicide it was a brain tumor.
His son that is still living has some “issues.”

“Citing “irreconcilable differences,” Kathleen Biden filed for divorce from her husband of 23 years, Hunter, late last year, Superior Court records in Washington, D.C. show.
Kathleen’s Dec. 9 complaint and subsequent filings detail a rocky relationship between the couple alleging drug use and infidelity dating to at least 2015, shortly after Hunter’s brother, former Delaware Attorney General Beau Biden, died of brain cancer.
On Wednesday, Hunter, the son of former Vice President Joe Biden, confirmed to the New York Post that he is having a romantic relationship with Beau’s widow, Hallie.
The 47-year-old lawyer, investment manager and former lobbyist told Page Six, Hallie and I are incredibly lucky to have found the love and support we have for each other in such a difficult time, and thats been obvious to the people who love us most. Weve been so lucky to have family and friends who have supported us every step of the way.
Joe Biden, wife Jill and Hallie’s father, Ron Olivere, have publicly pledged their support for the couple.
Joe Biden, who served Delaware 36 years in the U.S. Senate, told Page Six, We are all lucky that Hunter and Hallie found each other as they were putting their lives together again after such sadness. They have mine and Jills full and complete support and we are happy for them.
More from the article, “In 2014, the Navy Reserve discharged Hunter after he tested positive for cocaine. He had served for less than a year as a public affairs officer.”
The divorce filing for Hunter and his wife Kathleen has some hidden gems. “Hunter has three children with Kathleen, 48, a full-time mother and homemaker. She has not worked outside their D.C. home since she got married, according to court records. Originally from Chicago, Kathleen met Hunter when they were working for the Jesuit Volunteer Corps. Later, she campaigned for her father-in-law when he was running for vice president.
Her complaint alleges that Hunter hasn’t sufficiently provided for the family after the couple formally separated in October of 2015. In late 2016, Hunter ordered his office to cut Kathleen’s $17,000-a-month payment to $7,500, according to the complaint. Property records show that the couple owns a six-bedroom home in D.C. that was purchased for nearly $1.6 million in 2006.”
This little blurb jumped out at me, “In 2012, Hunter became board chairman of the United Nations’ World Food Program USA. He also sits on the board of one of Ukraine’s largest natural gas companies, Burisma.
Despite multiple streams of income, “the parties’ outstanding debts are shocking and overwhelming,” according to the filing made by Kathleen. These include maxed-out credit card debt, double mortgages on two properties, more than $313,000 in tax debt and three bounced checks to their housekeeper.”
Hmmm very interesting since John Solomon is reporting on Joe Biden’s past history with Ukrainian officials. https://thehill.com/opinion/white-house/436816-joe-bidens-2020-ukrainian-nightmare-a-closed-probe-is-revived
Quoting Biden, “Im leaving in six hours. If the prosecutor is not fired, youre not getting the money, Biden recalled telling Poroshenko.
Well, son of a bitch, he got fired. And they put in place someone who was solid at the time, Biden told the Council on Foreign Relations event, insisting that President Obama was in on the threat.
Interviews with a half-dozen senior Ukrainian officials confirm Bidens account, though they claim the pressure was applied over several months in late 2015 and early 2016, not just six hours of one dramatic day. Whatever the case, Poroshenko and Ukraines parliament obliged by ending Shokins tenure as prosecutor. Shokin was facing steep criticism in Ukraine, and among some U.S. officials, for not bringing enough corruption prosecutions when he was fired.
But Ukrainian officials tell me there was one crucial piece of information that Biden must have known but didnt mention to his audience: The prosecutor he got fired was leading a wide-ranging corruption probe into the natural gas firm Burisma Holdings that employed Bidens younger son, Hunter, as a board member.
U.S. banking records show Hunter Bidens American-based firm, Rosemont Seneca Partners LLC, received regular transfers into one of its accounts usually more than $166,000 a month from Burisma from spring 2014 through fall 2015, during a period when Vice President Biden was the main U.S. official dealing with Ukraine and its tense relations with Russia.
The general prosecutors official file for the Burisma probe shared with me by senior Ukrainian officials shows prosecutors identified Hunter Biden, business partner Devon Archer and their firm, Rosemont Seneca, as potential recipients of money.”
Links to POTUS speeches are different from links of people talking about this/that/other thing. POTUS speech/interview links are all worth listening to.
Don’t beat yourself up. We all make mistakes.

Thanks, and yes we do screw things up. I’m not beating myself up, but the Irish Catholic guilt paid me a visit (the guest that never leaves) and told me I should make it up somehow.
An odd set of circumstances found me home today, and between chores I watched most of the first half of The View. Yes. You read that correctly. A far greater penance than Monsignor Mattingly has ever handed down even on his most ill-tempered day.
Yikes! Did you ever get into doing something and immediately wish you hadn’t?
Anyway I made it through watching Ohio Rep Tim Ryan announcing his run for democrat presidency candidate. He’s from my home state, but I have never heard nor seen him. What a twit! “Jobs, economy, jobs, economy, jobs, electric vehicles...”
Trump would tear this guy a new one and make him like it.
