Victor Davis Hanson: Joe Biden’s Race Against the Truth
American Greatness ^ | 14 Aug, 2023 | Victor Davis Hanson

Posted on 08/14/2023 5:00:58 AM PDT by MtnClimber

What is the long-term Democrat strategy that requires such short-term malodorous skullduggery?

Joe Biden has about 17 months left as an elected politician—if he is lucky. That projection guides most of the inexplicable and shameless behavior of the Department of Justice and Biden himself. View Biden as in a race against the truth. Will he be physically and mentally able to complete his term and head to retirement before his decades-long crimes of corruption catch up to him?

Joe Biden’s serial yarn that he never knew anything about his son Hunter’s quid pro quo grifting with rich foreign grandees has been finally exposed as the old lie it always was.

Biden’s fallback untruth—that he never got involved in Hunter’s business—proved instantly laughable, given prior damning testimonies from Hunter’s business associates, from IRS whistleblowers, from the assertions of foreign beneficiaries, from Hunter’s own laptop, and from Joe’s own earlier loudmouth braggadocio about using threats of canceling U.S. foreign aid to fire a Ukrainian prosecutor looking into corruption of the sort in which his own son was knee deep. (Did not then president Barack Obama know the nature of Biden corruption when he appointed him as point man on Ukraine)?

To his partners in corruption, Hunter referred to his father variously as the “big guy” as well as the recipient of “ten percent” of the leveraged income. And apparently as a rather greedy pop, Hunter whined that Joe himself demanded half of all Hunter’s own shake-down income from abroad—despite Hunter’s payment of many of Joe’s monthly bills incurred on his palatial lakeshore mansion.

At some point, even the corrupt leftwing media and DNC cannot continue to laugh off eyewitness testimonies, whistleblowers’ revelations, bank records, Hunter Biden’s own computer messaging, Joe Biden’s phone calls and personal appearances, and the evidence from foreign beneficiaries.

The DemocRAT long-term strategy is to implement communism, to eliminate political competition and to eliminate citizen opposition to becoming slaves of the state.

I have been thinking of this odd dynamic now for some time.

Yes. And Biden has the entire, corrupt deep state and dominant media desperately working to cover up and complete the mission.

“Will he be physically and mentally able to complete his term and head to retirement before his decades-long crimes of corruption catch up to him?”

Why not? He was physically and mentally incapacitated before his first term as well as having a long history of criminal activity. What has changed now to prevent a second term?

On the other hand DJT has no criminal history, but by the time the rats are done with him he will have a criminal record via fake charges a mile long.

I think next year on the 4th of July we should celebrate by eating bananas instead of using fireworks.

That is it in a nutshell. And they use cult-like teachings to encourage their followers to swallow everything the Dim leaders say. The Dim cult followers want to fell like heroes saving the world from fake warmageddon. The Dim cult followers want to stamp out evil racism, so the Dim leaders say the non-Dims are racists. The Dim cult followers have gone from hating not just the rich but also the middle class. The Dim cult followers even abort their own babies in the name of freedom -- so deeply entrenched is hedonism normalized that their war on marriage seems tame in comparison to aborting 60 million of their own babies in my lifetime.

To the Dim leaders (including the media) it's about communism and eliminating opponents. To the Dim followers it's religion.

Dr. Hanson, I disagree. The media's reservoir of shamelessness is truly vast.

Je B9den has sold out America. He has fraudulently been elected, and he has fraudulently and criminally executed his duties of office to commit treason against the UNited States and The People. From the Afghanistan withdawal, to the fake war in Ukraine, sell out to the Chinese and to Russia,all amount t9o treason.

Assuch JOe Biden is a crimiinal. He should be charged and tried for treason along with his son Hunter. Both of them then should face execution by a military firing squad.

The rest of the Biden family who received millions in payments for foreign nationals and fporeign government agents should be indicted as accomplices to commit treason
and dealt with according to law.

Your list, provided and supported by every public indoctrination center and their union employees in every city and town in America. Amazingly profitable too. In the Soviet of Washington the K-12 indoctrinators rob the taxpayers of $19,000.00 annually for each little skull full of mush that comes through their centers.

“DOJ lawfare then works in two ways: by commission in neutering the presidential candidacy of Donald Trump after trying to ensure that he will win the Republican primary and nomination...”

After a great article, Hanson ends with this stupidity — “ [lawfare] after trying to ensure that [Trump] will win the Republican primary and nomination”

Hanson was a bit of a never-Trumper in 2016 and apparently has not gotten over it since.

"First, he violated the special counsel statute by hiring an inside government attorney..."

SO? What is anyone going to do about it?

“Strongarming” to get their way seems to be the Bidens MO.

Shades of “The Godfather.”

The mafioso-type hierarchical structure consisted
of Obama appointing VP Biden point man on Ukraine.

Joe bragged on video he “strongarmed” a Ukranian.....
using threats of canceling Congress-mandated foreign aid
......... billions of our tax dollars.......
to fire a Ukrainian prosecutor looking into Burisma corruption....
corruption in which his own son was immersed and would be outed.

Hunter himself “strongarmed” a Chinese client saying his VP
father would “punish him” if the Chinese guy didnt pay the Bidens.

No wonder the astute plea deal judge said it reminded her of a Mafia movie.


The Bidens are little more than racketeers.

Racketeering is a facet of organized crime in which the racketeers set up a coercive, fraudulent, extortionary, or otherwise illegal coordinated scheme (a “racket”) to repeatedly or consistently collect a profit.

Racketeers coerce or threaten people, often with the threat (implicit or otherwise), that failure to comply will engender “punishment.”
