After initially, and arrogantly, evading an appearance before Congress, President Joe Biden’s son testified Wednesday in a deposition the public was unable to watch. Voters deserve better. The testimony should have been fully open to the media, with microphones hot and cameras rolling.
Right from the top of Biden’s opening statement, the first son denied that he involved his father in his business.
“Not while I was a practicing lawyer, not in my investments or transactions domestic or international, not as a board member, and not as an artist. Never.”
In a wholly expected development, the media protected him as if he were one of their own.
Also entirely expected were his denials, and the contradictions of other witnesses’ statements. Not one person in this country anticipated otherwise, even those who are only superficially keeping up with the story.
There are limits to what can be gleaned from the black-and-white of a transcript or “readout,” and the favorable-to-the-administration media reports of the six-and-a-half hour testimony. Americans should have been able to see the Biden family unctuousness at work, to judge for themselves how much the word of a Biden means. Hunter’s smug disposition and his telling body language are material to the upcoming election. An open forum would have been informative to on-the-fence voters.
The smokey back-room conditions allowed the Democrats to freely put their misleading and rancid spin on the deposition. The ever-puerile Rep. Eric Swalwell of California claimed that “after six-plus hours of Hunter Biden testifying, we learned absolutely nothing,” and therefore “the Biden impeachment investigation is over and we just witnessed its last breath.”

The authors are correct. These hearings should be public so the people can decide for themselves.

On the topic of gun control, it is often said that the government wants to take our guns away, because they are planning to do things to us for which we would shoot them — if we had guns.
Somewhat related, the blatant lies of the Biden administration will not stand. But they don’t need to stand forever. They just need to stand long enough for the Deep State to steal the November election. At that point, I believe they will will install a fully totalitarian regime, with a national police force (snazzy black uniforms) and then pass laws outlawing guns.
This is all a game that they are playing, buying time for themselves, so that they can execute the master plan which has been in play for decades. It’s all a modified limited hangout.

How I read it: Republicans drop the ball again.
Great post
I wonder if Hunter’s Secret Service detail carries Narcan?
Swalwell makes me long for the days of tarring and feathering.
