This is what they\u2019re up against.\u00a0<\/p>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module alignright\">\n    <\/aside>\n<p>Another step by CBS News shows a different version of the same partisanship. In a move that produced as much derision as information, the network reported this: \u201cData from a laptop that the lawyer for a Delaware computer repair shop owner says was left by Hunter Biden in 2019 \u2014 and which the shop owner later provided to the FBI under subpoena \u2014 shows no evidence of tampering or fabrication, according to an independent review commissioned by CBS News.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Breaking news, huh? As The Post put it:\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It took CBS 769 days to verify what this paper reported in October of 2020.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Yet for any serious news organization, authenticating the laptop should only be the first step. A number of major outlets, including The New York Times, The Washington Post and CNN, also beat CBS in that effort, but aside from one or two stories, they\u2019ve all failed to pursue the central issue: What role did Joe Biden play in Hunter\u2019s foreign influence-peddling scheme, and did he personally profit from the tens of millions of dollars paid to Hunter and Jim Biden, Joe\u2019s brother?\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Their lack of interest is all the more egregious in light of claims by Tony Bobulinski, a partner of Hunter and Jim Biden, that Joe Biden was \u201cthe big guy\u201d in line for a secret 10% cut from a joint venture with a Chinese \u00adconglomerate.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/goodwin-biden-430.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"Hunter Biden's former business partner Tony Bobulinski claims President Biden took a cut from a deal Hunter had with a Chinese conglomerate.\" class=\"wp-image-24758459\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/goodwin-biden-430.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1535 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/goodwin-biden-430.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/goodwin-biden-430.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Hunter Biden\u2019s former business partner Tony Bobulinski claims President Biden took a cut from a deal Hunter had with a Chinese conglomerate.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Fox News<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"One_deal_only\"><\/span>One deal only?\u00a0<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>To my knowledge, not a single outlet has disputed Bobulinski\u2019s claim, nor has the White House. So are we to believe Joe was going to get a cut of one deal only?\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Even if true, it matters because that deal was arranged during 2015 and 2016, while Joe was vice president. That is evidence the president is compromised when it comes to China.\u00a0<\/p>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module alignleft\">\n    <\/aside>\n<p>And what do the media handmaidens make of laptop emails showing money moving between checking accounts belonging to Joe and Hunter? What about the emails showing Hunter paying for Joe\u2019s household expenses in \u00adDelaware?\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Again, there\u2019s been no claim from the media or the White House that any of those emails are anything less than legitimate.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The media\u2019s failure to either report or challenge the evidence showing Joe\u2019s involvement suggests there is a lane for Republican investigators to follow. With their new subpoena power and ability to take confidential testimony, they must methodically build an airtight case.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>If they go too fast and make public claims they can\u2019t support, the media will have the excuse it wants to ignore everything that follows.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Of course, no matter how much evidence the GOP finds, the Justice Department will ignore it for the next two years.

In a mass email, Yang, who ran for mayor and president as a Dem before leaving the party, quotes Patel as saying:\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne of the things that strikes me about the fancy colleges . . . is that they are most likely to teach you a language of criticism and deconstruction, a language that encourages you to think of yourself as oppressed. I think this is a useful pair of glasses to put on from time to time, but it\u2019s a terrible idea to do permanent surgery on your eyes such that you only see the bad things that happen to you.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFirst of all, you are not oppressed. To use that word in reference to yourself [as an American college student] is to announce to the world that you utterly lack perspective.
