DIGGING DEEPER

By Ivan G. Goldman

JUST WHO IS HUNTER BIDEN?

He's a DC lobbyist. With a veep daddy, that makes him an influence peddler. He received a Navy Reserve commission when he was over the max age (Did he go to OCS? Doesn't look like it.) Got discharged for cocaine use, probably under 'honorable' conditions even though other service people get other than honorable discharges for this offense.

For these accomplishments he lands a $600K annual stipend from a sleazy Ukrainian oil company. That's a pretty nice part-time job. Beats driving an Uber. Anyone who thinks the Democratic Party is an antidote

to plutocracy is being foolish

(Please note that I wrote the words above when there was no particular reason to believe Joe Biden would be the Democratic nominee. The words still ring true, but please also note that they don't really reflect poorly on Joe. Joe has seen a wife and two of his children die. He hasn't had a terribly easy life in the personal domain and he probably spoiled Hunter. Under the circumstances it's understandable. Joe himself is not corrupt. He's a good man who's made mistakes, and I intend to vote for him in November.)
