The Biden DoT made a FUBAR out of the NE air corridor. There is an FAA air controller facility in Westbury Long Island. The FAA decided to essentially close down this facilityand transfer all the personnel and responsibility to the Philly facility. Many of the Westbury staff chose not to relocate so the Philly office had added responsibilities and fewer personnel to meet them.

The Biden future consists of roaming around the Rehobeth Beach FunLand kiddie rides sniffing children.He will become a breakout artist leaving the compound daily.I’ve seen it at this point in his decline it is hard to watch him 24/7. They become obsessed with escaping and they are good at eacaping.

Joe Biden is eligible for and will likely receive public pension benefits, including stipends, based on his long career in public service.

Presidential Pension:
The Former Presidents Act of 1958 (FPA) grants a lifetime annual pension to former presidents, equivalent to the salary of a cabinet secretary. As of 2024, that salary was $246,400, but it’s subject to annual adjustments.

Congressional Pension:
Based on his 36 years in the Senate and 8 years as Vice President, Biden is eligible for a congressional pension.This pension is calculated using a formula based on years of service and average salary during his time in Congress. Estimates suggest this could amount to a starting pension of around $166,374 annually, with potential cost-of-living adjustments.

There is no legal restriction preventing former presidents who also served in Congress from collecting both a presidential pension and a congressional pension. This means Biden could potentially receive a combined pension payout starting at roughly $413,000 annually.

In addition to the pensions, former presidents are also entitled to various other benefits, including:
Office allowances and funding for staff.
Travel expenses related to official duties.
Secret Service protection.

Note: The exact amounts of Biden’s pensions will depend on the final calculations and any adjustments made by the Office of Personnel Management.

Hunter Biden’s Missing ‘Services’; A bank examiner
raised concerns about the president’s son’s bank account

snip

Did Biden family members cash in solely on the basis of Joe Biden’s political name, and did Joe in any way benefit?

A red-flag document released this week from Oversight Chairman James Comer provides more evidence on the cashing-in point—and it comes from an impartial source. The document is a June 2018 email from an internal bank investigator—someone trained to look for money laundering—that flags suspicious activity within a Hunter Biden joint venture’s account. In his email to an executive at the bank, the investigator says he’s been monitoring Hunter given his designation as a PEP—an acronym for “politically exposed person,” a class of client that poses a risk of bribery or corruption. The investigator then explains “account activity” and “negative news” indicate Hunter to be “high risk.”

The investigator was specifically concerned with the description of a $5 million deposit in August 2017 from Northern International Capital Holdings, a company affiliated with Chinese-government-linked energy firm CEFC. The investigator notes the money was listed as a “business loan,” yet “there was no loan agreement document submitted.”
