The Biden family’s free beach banquet

Writer: kicking Biden off the ticket comparable to ‘rape culture’

At the latest count, seventeen House Democrats and one senator have made the egregious yet ruthlessly pragmatic decision to call for Joe Biden to step aside as the Democratic nominee and allow a mentally fitter candidate to run in his place. A deluge of further letters was anticipated after the end of the NATO seventy-fifth anniversary summit last night. Biden is thought to have staved off the reaper for a while with a not-entirely-awful press conference performance yesterday evening. And some online pundits have been eager to point out that Democratic primary voters should not be robbed of their agency. 

In a deservedly viral tweet, @RebekahWriter characterized the movement to push Biden aside as one orchestrated by the media against the people: 

Pundits: Joe Biden needs to drop out.
Biden: No.
Pundits: But we really want Joe Biden to drop out!
Biden: No.
8 House Dems: Joe, the pundits say you need to drop out! They really want that!
Biden: No.
George Clooney: C’mon Joe, just relax! You’ll like dropping out!
Biden: No.
Voters: NO MEANS NO, MOTHERFUCKERS!

Politics and rape culture are too similar for comfort.

Cockburn wonders what Tara Reade makes of her analogy…

The Biden family’s free beach banquet

A spy tells Cockburn that around the time of President Joe Biden’s “big-boy” press conference last night, a group of eight Biden family members showed up to eat at Mango’s, a slightly overrated restaurant in Bethany Beach, Delaware, for perhaps their proverbial last supper. Despite all of those foreign business deals that allegedly ended in handouts to at least a dozen Bidens, the restaurant generously comped their meal.

Maybe even Mango’s knows that the gravy train might soon come to an end. The spy did not indicate which Biden family members were present at the soirée.

Another Florida congressman with a complicated legal history?

In the race to succeed Florida congressman Bill Posey, Republican John Hearton stands out in the field — for all the wrong reasons, thanks to a colorful legal history.

Like many Floridians, Hearton is a transplant, having moved from Virginia only a few years ago, where he had pled guilty to possessing an altered operator’s license, according to court records reviewed by The Spectator; while Hearton finally bought a permanent home in Florida in 2021, he continued listing his Virginia address as his home until 2022 on political donations he made.

Despite his Virginia-based political donations, Hearton only registered to vote in Florida four years before running for Congress — a bold move even in a state filled with so many outsiders. In one of Hearton’s first FEC filings of his campaign, he reported only six donations from Floridians over an eight-month time period.

One Florida Republican flagged a photo of a pro-Hearton truck that’s been driving around Florida’s 8th district recently, equipped with Hearton signs galore. Interestingly, a license plate search shows that the car, despite its South Carolina plates, is registered to Leslie Hearton, his ex-wife, out of Virginia. The candidate himself owned several properties over the years in South Carolina, according to property records of the state.

And just last month, Hearton was cited by a Florida cop for “operating a motor vehicle/using a mobile home with an expired registration for more than six” months. Hearton’s campaign website promises “business sense and common sense,” but one of his companies, WareOnEarth Communications, LLC, filed for bankruptcy in 2003 with over sixty claims filed against it totaling over $9 million, bankruptcy records from the Eastern District of Virginia reviewed by The Spectator show.

Just two years later, Hearton was a defendant in an adversarial proceeding relating to this bankruptcy, where he was listed as receiving tens of thousands of dollars from the debtor, which was his own company. Court records state that “in the course of the Plan Administrator’s review of the Debtor’s books and records, the Plan administrator discovered that the year prior to the Petition Date, and after the Petition Date, Debtor transferred $1,093,223.00 to a company known as NETSEC Consulting, LLC,” which was reportedly controlled by his then-wife, Leslie Hearton.

Given this checkered past, Hearton will surely stand out like a sore thumb in the squeaky clean Florida congressional delegation…

A match made in Davos

Love is in the air for globalists! Cockburn congratulates Huma “Hillary’s Close Friend” Abedin upon her engagement this week to her beau, Open Society Foundations chair Alexander Soros. Abedin’s new betrothed seems to be a significant upgrade — financially at least — from her previous husband, disgraced mayoral candidate Anthony Weiner.

Though Cockburn’s blessings pale in comparison to those offered by lawsuit magnet and conspiracy theorist Alex Jones. “The Alexander Soros, Huma Abedin wedding reception video has leaked,” Jones tweeted, alongside an AI rendering of what Hell might look like. 

Usually the reception is after the wedding, rather than the engagement — not that Jones is reputed for his eye for detail…
