Lost in the debate over what evidence exists against president Biden is the fact that team Biden is busy sweeping evidence under the rug, is caught in lies, and the media is complicit in all of it. 
Questions About Biden Are Real Even if Trump Asks Them
The Wall Street Journal comments Questions About Biden Are Real Even if Trump Asks Them
Joe Biden’s campaign lied when it said he never attended a dinner with a representative of his son’s Ukrainian employer, as the Post’s own gullible fact checker was forced to acknowledge in a follow-up piece. Mr. Biden lied to voters, the New York Times further adjudicated, when he claimed in a 2020 presidential debate that his family had received no money from China and Hunter’s laptop was Russian disinformation.
There are many other suggestive bits you’re probably tired of reading about. An FBI confidential source, apparently credible to the agency, with known ties to Hunter’s Ukrainian employer, reported on multiple occasions that the company’s owner claimed to have paid money to both Hunter and Joe.
Both political parties would find their strategy of peddling tall tales impossible—the circle of suggestion would be impossible to close—if mainstream journalism wasn’t so full of cowardly conformists, who ask not what is true but how to advance the desired narrative, and therefore have no credibility with the public.
There Is Evidence for an Impeachment Inquiry
Also consider There Is Evidence for an Impeachment Inquiry
Former Hunter business partner Devon Archer says Joe Biden was “the brand” being sold, and that as Vice President he participated by speakerphone with Hunter and his business associates at least 20 times, and that he also met or dined with Hunter and his foreign associates. These included Russian oligarchs, a Ukrainian executive being investigated for corruption, and a Chinese business partner for whose daughter Mr. Archer thinks Joe Biden wrote a college letter of recommendation.
An FBI informant has told the bureau that Mykola Zlochevsky, Burisma’s CEO, paid $5 million each in bribes to Hunter and Joe. This hasn’t been corroborated. More recently we learned that Hunter business partner James Gilliar emailed Hunter and other associates that 10% of a deal with Chinese energy firm CEFC was to go to the “big guy.” Former Hunter business partner Tony Bobulinski has said the big guy was Joe Biden.
The Biden money trail goes through at least 20 shell companies; the Vice President used different email pseudonyms; and at least 170 financial transactions related to Hunter or Joe’s brother James Biden were flagged to Treasury as suspicious. A pair of IRS agents, Gary Shapley and Joseph Ziegler, told Congress that the Justice Department undermined their investigation into Hunter Biden’s emails and tax filings.
Mr. Biden has obfuscated all of this from the start, such as denying in a 2020 campaign debate that his family had received money from China. He also invoked a phony talking point cooked up by 51 former intelligence officers to declare Hunter’s infamous laptop Russian disinformation. His administration has stonewalled House efforts to get the information it seeks and has now set up a war room to fight an inquiry.
To say there’s no cause for investigation is to deny the reality of all we’ve learned about the Biden family business.
On Impeaching Joe Biden
Next up, please consider Impeaching Joe Biden
A politicized Justice Department and Federal Bureau of Investigation have squandered the public’s trust. The elevation of Mr. Weiss to special counsel has persuaded many that the fix is in, given Justice guidelines that say a special counsel should come from the outside. Mr. Weiss’s appointment further gives President Biden the “ongoing investigation” excuse for not answering questions, which could bury the issue.
It may turn out that Joe Biden committed no crime. But even if he never received a nickel from his son’s businesses, his cooperation in Hunter’s selling of the Biden brand was corrupt. Ditto for President Biden’s Justice Department, which repeatedly sabotaged the federal investigation into Hunter.
The party line is that there’s no evidence that Joe Biden profited from his son’s dealings. But the administration has stonewalled any effort to get at the truth, and the White House is now building a war room of lawyers and communications staffers to fight the investigations. It’s disingenuous to argue there’s no evidence while you are working overtime to thwart any attempt to find evidence.
No Direct Evidence That Hunter Biden Actually Exists
In a bit of hilarious comedy, the Babylon Bee comments White House Says There Is No Direct Evidence That Hunter Biden Actually Exists
“When you think about it, there’s not really any conclusive proof that this ‘Hunter’ guy is even real,” said historic, gay, black Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre to reporters. “Have any of you even seen him in person? Have you actually physically touched him? For all we know, Hunter is just a figment of the GOP’s wild and fevered imaginations. It’s sad, really.”
The gathered journalists murmured and nodded in agreement at Jean-Pierre’s excellent point.
“It’s a shame we didn’t start questioning the notion of this ‘Hunter Biden’ fiction a long time ago,” said Meet The Press anchor Chuck Todd. “How could we have been so blind to the deep deception of the far-right? The whole thing was a hoax! This is an attack on democracy.”
Meaning of Evidence
It seems the press is hung up on the word “evidence”.
Nothing above is “evidence” except for the fact that the Biden money trail goes through at least 20 shell companies, the Vice President used different email pseudonyms to hide that, then lied about it.
Use of shell companies strongly hints at corruption, tax evasion, or worse. The rest of it isn’t “evidence”, it’s allegations of corruption that merit discovery based on what we do know.
Rug Not Big Enough
The problem for Joe Biden certainly isn’t the press.
Rather, the problem, as noted by my cartoon, is finding a rug big enough to cover up Joe’s known lies and all the details (let’s not call them evidence) uncovered by the FBI.
The best idea might very well be to deny the existence of Hunter Biden altogether.
The only alternative is to get bigger and bigger rugs then hope no one notices.
Meanwhile, let’s discuss other problem of Biden’s making, EVs, inflation, regulatory madness, and immigration.
Colombia Traffickers Make $10 Million a Month Helping Illegal Migrants Reach the US
Biden vowed to “end the illicit movement” of people through the Darién jungle in Colombia. But the profits are too big to pass up. A record 360,000 made passage this year. That’s well above the record 250,000 for all of 2022.
For discussion, please see Colombia Traffickers Make $10 Million a Month Helping Illegal Migrants Reach the US.
Bidenomics Inflation
Inflation sucks and there is plenty of blame to spread including the Fed, Congress, and three stimulus packages.
But Biden’s Big EV push is behind much of this recent angst.
It takes fewer hours to build an EV. Biden is pushing them like mad despite the fact that consumers do not want them because the infrastructure isn’t in place. Ironically, increased mileage standards have negative benefits according to a government study (at long last getting something right).
So now the union wants a 32-hour workweek with a 36 percent raise (down from 40 percent) more benefits, and ability to strike over plant closures despite the fact it takes fewer workers to produce an EV.
There is no one other than Biden to blame for this latest round of economic and environmental madness.
Elon Musk Taunts the UAW, “Tesla Pays Workers More and We Have Fun”
This union battle was created by Biden, the EPA, the Labor Relations Board and other administration regulatory agencies.
For discussion, please see Elon Musk Taunts the UAW, “Tesla Pays Workers More and We Have Fun”
Finally, let’s go over Biden’s gasoline mileage mandates.
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Analysis of Gasoline Standards
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration NHTSA did an impact assessment of 4 fuel standard proposals and compared them to the cost of doing nothing. Guess what.
Buried deep on Page 56,342 of volume 88 of the Federal Register, the agency makes this concession about its latest proposed rules: “Net benefits for passenger cars remain negative across alternatives.” In plain English, this means that mandating ever-more-stringent fuel economy for passenger cars will harm society.
Here is the NHTSA’s bottom line: “Net benefits for passenger cars remain negative across alternatives” vs doing nothing at all.
The Shocking Truth About Biden’s Proposed Energy Fuel Standards
For discussion, please see The Shocking Truth About Biden’s Proposed Energy Fuel Standards
Regardless of how we assess the winners and losers in the UAW battle, over the short and long haul we all lose from the push to pay more for the regulatory and environmental madness of this administration.
For that matter, do we kn0ow if Joe Biden really exists, or he is just a Holograph shown on tv or a backgrounbd screen for the cyborg press? did he ever get elected, or just insttalled? Karine may be on to something here! At least in her own jumbled little brainpan.
How did a story about the obvious Biden family corruption turn into an anti EV rant?
Here you go i think this is the one you are looking for
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UXA–dj2-CY
consumers do not want them because the infrastructure isn’t in place.
That is not the only reason consumers do not want them.
Their range sucks and the charge time is prohibitive even if the infrastructure was in place
And you cannot resell them.. And their useful life is very much less than a regular ICE car.
Maybe if Toyota succeeds with the new yet uncommercialized solid state battery that doesnt use lithium but has a 750 mile range and takes a good charge in under 15 minutes things will change on that front
People are not stupid
They WILL NOT buy EV
amerikans are stupid. it’s idiocracy. biden and trump exhibit A
I shall wait for the ICE that runs on water with that secret carburetor.
It is frightening that the Democrats have so few leaders of talent that they had to run Biden and Harris and were able to win only by keeping him in hiding.
Alternatively we all know that it isn’t Joe who is running things and little speculation has looked into who is actually giving the orders.
Something in this reminds me of the 1995 movie “The Usual Suspects” where everyone knew someone was pulling all the strings but no one knew who and at the end it was the man no-one ever thought it could be. I wonder who is playing the part of Kevin Spacey in this presidential movie we are in. After Biden is out of the picture will Kamala Harris stop conversing in baby talk and stop limping and come out in frighteningly well-constructed sentences and take control with an iron hand destroying all who oppose her? Is she Verbal Kint or is it someone else?
Biden’s televised interview where he withheld US dollars in aid to Ukraine in exchange for the firing of the Burisma investigator seems to get forgotten. Given all that has been uncovered, it would be foolish for our leaders not to inquire. Further, an innocent person would want to clear their name. Wake up America.
Got a link to that?
How in the world is this okay?

Pork sausage links?
A.I. created Hunter. He is a robot.
We must HUNT DOWN the software programmers and have them executed for not putting in corruption suppression algo’s.
All of that stealing is because of the Silicon Valley and they took down SVB which had evidence of laundering money for those A.I. robotic Hunter images, snorting Powered Sugar and getting laid by Skanks.
no doubt that is a proper analysis.
Mish, this doesn’t pass the sniff test. Congressional Republicans have been repeatedly asked for evidence since the impeachment inquiry was announced, and they have repeatedly admitted they don’t have any evidence “yet”. Also, look at the results of their own investigations. Google search “House Republican Report Finds No Evidence of Wrongdoing by President Biden”
Please understand the meaning of “inquiry” first, and then see if you still require an answer to your question.
– In the United States, an impeachment inquiry (also known as an impeachment investigation) is an investigation or inquiry which usually occurs before a potential impeachment vote.
They must have an inquiry or investigation into the facts surrounding the impeachment request. It is highly advised to not go (well some do) straight into such an important decision without all the facts and information gathered, vetted for accuracy first and foremost.
There is a slew of information and happenings that have been inventoried for review, and if it is nefarious in nature, then it may be able to be used as evidence of wrong doing, but you must first walk before you can run.
It’s a process and not finger pointing or looking for click bait. This is a very serious topic that needs to be addressed, and this is the proper “Legal Action” way to address it.
You are willfully ignoring the evidence, just like Mish said in this post
Hilarious, they have a mountain of evidence, like Everest
Got a link to the mountain?
Frankly the deals the big guy cut with China and Ukraine are high treason. And for that he might get impeachment and leave office keeping his millions.
Is it possible to indict Hunter on some serious charges that will get him say life with no parole and then cut a deal with the big guy that he can confess to everything he has done and spend his dotage in Club Fed in exchange for a short sentence for Hunter? And would the big guy accept or would he let Hunter rot?
What deals, specifically?
Lol. How apropos.
Don’t be so hard on Hunter.
Look to the parents that raised him.
Sooner or later we will have to have a discussion as a nation about why the deep state helped bring down the buildings on 911. Who knew about it and when did they find out, who profited, etc. It was pure treason. That is when I gave up on the USless government.
go read “project for the new amerikan century”.
Never let a crisis go to waste.
The lies, distortions, distractions, and hence the need for the Cover-Ups! Notice all the major support for Biden Inc. comes from the places where people always have their hands out saying: “More Please” like the Unions (Ex. Teachers, Auto), Social Media (Ex. Facebook, Twitter (old v), NGO’s, Banking and Large Investors, Etc. You know, the people that want Money & Power Hmm…
We need to change the name: “The MSM“ (Main Stream Media) to something like: “The DPM” (Democrat Propaganda Machine), so these phony news organizations can be called by what they really and truly are! Moving forward we can then refer to our Actual News as “The INO” (Independent News Organizations), which is far more realistic as to who and what they represent as well!
What still eats away at me, is when I try to logically understand why so many people go along with this total and utter hypocrisy and BS. To see this many people, led to their own demise, and follow so utterly willingly is just inconceivable to me. They are royally screwing their Grandchildren, Children, Elderly, and Mostly Themselves. It is difficult, at times, to bear actual witness to it all, as I have all of them in my Life.
Too many folks simply can’t be bothered to think.
They live by habits.
If Trump elected his first meeting will be with Putin.
I hope!
Okay, maybe he can effectuate an end to the killing. Seems like the Presidential thing to do.
And Putin’s behind will be covered with moist kisses.
Evidently, Hunter Biden is a smart, hard working, economics and laws expert.
He deserves all the millions paid trough off shore accounts
Time for a 3rd party and the end of the two-party system. Let the bosses have a single party instead of two, and onward to a real Labor Party.
As a nation, we can’t count to 3.
The last exits off the highway to hell were blocked in the 90s, between the fall of the Soviet Union and 9/11/2001. Not a coincidence that era was bookended by the corrupt Bushes.
Nothing new here. The graft and corruption of daffy Joe Biden was known long ago. The Hunter laptop and content was available over 3 years ago. Plus there was the threat by Vice Pres. Biden to withhold $5 billion to Ukraine unless the investgation into Hunter was dropped. I wonder what changed in the swamp that he is now being treated to an investigation? Perhaps the disastrous war, the open border, the killing of the energy sector, the all in on woke, or the stupid wreck less spending (the Inflation Reduction Act 🤣)
Haha its been 6 years since trump put two senators on it. Crack heads are not known for making good decisions you think they would have found something by now. Maybe there is nothing there. Last i heard their star whistleblower said hunter just called his dad to impress his friends. If thats all the got they should quit. Investigate trumps kids. There is prob more with them. This whole biden thing is sounding like nuclear fusion. Always ten years away.
hunter is a really smart and slick dude. he is probably about 100x smarter and craftier and cunning than jared and ivanka were with MBS. the idiots R and idiots D are all such bootlicker cheerleaders for their heroes on the field. long live pax dumbfuckistan. it is comical
Jared has been awfully quiet lately… laying low with that 2 billion from the Saudis.
Somebody should see what he’s been up to. Netflix could do a show: Catching up with the Kushers.
Nice try at deflection fron Biden, who is actually in office and the current president
…and isn’t Hunter.
You morons are the ones all het up about the presidential offspring, and crying out for President Harris. Do you guys not think this stuff through? Of course you don’t. It’s all ‘raar raar raar I’m outraged an someone must appease me!’
Grab your pacifier and binkie and take a nap ffs.
Did you mean blankee not binkie?
Binkie is just a British name for a pacifier.
Mish great post-so would you please stop posting my comments on the weekend inspiring as they are, my comments suck! I need to go back to Ghost Post! Because of the corruption of the Biden administration with the support of most of the news media, Americans have lost all respect for traditional values and our governmental institutions! We Americans years ago used to pull together, but now it’s everybody selfishly for themselves! Truth, nobody likes to talk about truth these days!
beep boop?
Biden will get away with it as this is the DC works. If the Dems want to run someone else, they will use this but he will keep the $. They ALL sell influence and sell out citizens, That’s how Biden ends up with multiple homes of over a million each on a government salary. They are all making money in Ukraine. Biden, Pelosi, Romney, Kerry and more. The war is to protect and enhance the money streams.
Just to add to this, Nicki Haley goes from almost no net worth when see enters the Trump administration and now has millions. Same thing happens with military retirements. They go to defense industry (see sec def Austin) and get rich. Another would be Scott Gottlieb – from FDA to Pfizer. On TV promoting vax and never disclosing his personal financial interest.
remember when the Repugs gave Biden more than he requested for UKRAINE / MIC executive bonus pool. not long ago. it’s one party, and you ain’t in it. if you are a cheer leader for either, you are an idiot. please wear panties when doing the high kicks on the cheer squad please.
Appreciate the addition of an editorial cartoon — consider this a vote for Mish to produce more of these in the future.
Would people who take umbrage at the evidence and implications of a Biden scandal feel similarly if the subject had the surname Trump? From the white powder that was found in the white house to friends and family making a lot of money for no particular reason aside for their ‘connections’ there is a lot for public to be concerned about.
If one would feel differently about circumstances whether prez 46 or prez 45 (or any prez for that matter) was potentially involved, then one should consider themselves part of the problem.
Some lesser-known wheelings and dealings:
link to politico.eu
Not to mention the sabotage of the Nordstream pipeline, of course.
That act of state sponsored terrorism seems to have been swept under the rug as well.
Of course. Don’t mention that (or the environmental consequences — not particularly ”green”).
That wsj article is an opinion piece, not news. Biden derangement syndrome.
You just made Mish’s point about willfully ignoring the evidence. Nice try at deflection and ad hominem, though.
In my mind, this whole episode is a complete condemation of the FBI and the media.
Some whistleblowers claim the investigations into Hunter were thwarted while others claim investigations into Trump associates were thwarted and the higher ups only wanted dirt on Hunter. Since the FBI is made up of human beings in a post trump world I think both are true. Half the FBI are maga cultists, half hate Trump, and the other have try to be neutral.
Well, now, isn’t the whole, public, Hunter Biden persona is a phony cover for a straight-up, all-American guy who is really a CIA asset?
Biden has always sucked but it’s all about momentum and agenda. The momentum and agenda have now turned against him, he’s old and tainted. If “the machine” is for you, you’ll be fine and it was for him to defeat Trump. But now it’s against him, he’s a liability and his economy sucks. The Dems don’t want Trump but they don’t want Biden either.
What will happen is anyone’s guess, but the only solution for our country at this point is to print money and ride that til the wheels finally fall off.
World War 3 will someday sort a new debt free world order, but humans will always eventually screw it up again. Wash, rinse, repeat…it’s biblicall.
I was talking to a neighbor police officer recently about the corruption in the city. He said it’s a lot worse than people think but he’s close to retirement and doesn’t care. A lot of this going on around the country.
He would only care if his pension was suspended. Same goes for everyone else choosing to look away. Good news is it will all stop when the printer breaks which it eventually will. Could be 20 years from now but it’s going to break. Probably why nobody cares. Many looking away won’t be around to see what happens next.
I thought that it would be impossible for a family to be as scuzzy as Trump’s kids but Hunter Biden and all of the other hanger’s on (President’s brother?) fit the bill. I remember when there was controversy over Billy Beer which seems tame.
I certainly did not like the idea of Trump’s family members holding staff positions. It was pure nepotism.
Like they need the money…. Please, think before commenting. Daddy is a billionaire. Daddy is not a young man anymore. They will get all his cash.
Trumps family members did NOT get paid.
Billy got up to quite a few embarrassing drunken shenanigans…. the republicans alternately clutching their pearls and tut-tutting… a far cry from the YEEEEEEEHAAAAAAW republicans of today. Billy was ahead of his time.
At least Billy Beer just got drunk a lot and passed out on the White House lawn. That didn’t harm regular America in any way.
Billy made it ok to be drunk and dumb.
YES IT DID. WE ALL INDIRECTLY PAY FOR THE LAWN MAINTENANCE AND BILL COMPRESSED THAT GRASS AND KILLED IT.
Thus, tax payers were out a large sum to re-seed, including Labor.
A travesty, I tell you, a TRAVESTY.
There’s no comparison between the Trump family and the Biden family. The Trump’s have been thoroughly investigated and acquitted. The DOJ blocks every attempt to investigate the Biden’s.
Well Mish you’ve convinced me. I pledge not to vote for Hunter next year.
And no intellectual curiosity whatsoever I see regarding whether Joe is involved despite a mountain of circumstantial evidence that says he was. This is the approach of the media as well. They used to try to find a smoking gun when there was such a rank stench of corruption, now they talk like defense lawyers.
That’s for the courts to sort through.
And for the media to honestly investigate and report. Remember Woodward and Bernstein from their investigation of Watergate? Don’t pretend it’s just for the courts.
The media? The media is a circus of ragebait, racist dogwhistles, and missing white girls, watched by a population of morons that demands this.
Let the lawyers figure it out and tell me what they found.
It’s not going before a court of law. It’s being voted on in the house and then maybe the senate. Why don’t you understand what you’re arguing against before arguing against it?
A vote for joke biden is a vote for the biden crime family.
You just proved his point about how willfully ignorant you have to be to not look at the evidence. It’s not about Hunter and you know it.
