Democrats recognize that Joe Biden lies pathologically. Sadly for Leftists, lying is considered a positive character trait.
The video below discusses 5 Biden lies. Needless to say, one could easily compile about 10 more of these videos, if we posted all of Biden’s lies. Nevertheless, the video makes the bigger point:
So when Biden lied about not knowing about Hunter Biden’s business dealings, Democrats knew he lied. Thus, the accolades.
But not everybody gives Biden a pass. As the New York Post wrote:
House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer on Tuesday demanded the White House “correct” a “misleading and dishonest” statement by President Biden regarding more than $1 million his relatives got from a company with ties to China’s Communist Party.
Comer (R-Ky.) revealed last week that fewer than two months after Biden left office as Barack Obama’s vice president, State Energy HK Limited, a firm affiliated with Chinese Communist Party-backed energy company CEFC China Energy, wired $3 million to Biden family associate Rob Walker.
The dough was subsequently distributed to at least three members of the Biden clan and two Biden family associates, according to bank records obtained by the Oversight Committee.
Together, first son Hunter Biden, first brother James Biden and the president’s daughter-in-law Hallie Biden, who was in a relationship with Hunter at the time, raked in $1,065,692 from the mysterious 2017 transaction, according to the panel.
Consider this Blue Dress #1 for the Bidens. Yet the “Big Guy” continues to deny the obvious.
The article continues:
The 80-year-president Friday denied that the payments were made despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary — including an admission from a Hunter Biden rep.
“That’s not true,” Biden said when asked about the payments outside the White House on March 17 before jetting off to Delaware for the weekend.
But it is true, Joe. And Americans will soon put two and two together on why we are forcing Ukraine into a war with Russia. What exactly does Zelensky have on Biden? Or the Russians?
In the case of Zelensky, Ukraine received enough money for America to buy the country for a year. For the Russians, their economy flourishes under Biden.
From Macro Trends:
GDP at purchaser’s prices is the sum of gross value added by all resident producers in the economy plus any product taxes and minus any subsidies not included in the value of the products. It is calculated without making deductions for depreciation of fabricated assets or for depletion and degradation of natural resources. Data are in current U.S. dollars. Dollar figures for GDP are converted from domestic currencies using single year official exchange rates. For a few countries where the official exchange rate does not reflect the rate effectively applied to actual foreign exchange transactions, an alternative conversion factor is used.

Note the 12.03% decline under Trump. And in Biden’s first year, Russia’s GDP increased by 19.43%.
It appears that Biden is working for the Russians.
In a letter Comer fired off to the White House in response Tuesday, he wrote, “The Committee is concerned about the national security implications of a President’s or Vice President’s immediate family receiving such lucrative financial deals from foreign nationals and foreign companies without any oversight,” Fox News reported.
“President Biden’s statement was misleading and dishonest,” Comer said, noting that his committee has “received the bank documents from a financial institution pursuant to a subpoena.”
Misleading and dishonest. Those are harsh words, from a political perspective. Gloves off for Comer, and it’s about time.
Comer explains why:
The Oversight Committee chairman also pointed to a statement issued by Hunter Biden’s legal team last week that acknowledged the payments linked to China.
“Further undercutting President Biden’s assertion, Hunter Biden’s legal team publicly acknowledged he was involved in a ‘joint venture’ with an ‘energy company in China’ and ‘shared’ his portion of the funds with James and Hallie Biden,” Comer said in the missive addressed to White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre.
The statement from Hunter Biden’s legal team, issued the same day Comer released the memo on the Biden family’s business deals in China, read, “Hunter Biden, a private citizen with every right to pursue his own business endeavors, joined several business partners in seeking a joint venture with a privately-owned, legitimate energy company in China.
“As part of that joint venture, Hunter received his portion of good faith seed funds which he shared with his uncle, James Biden, and Hallie Biden, with whom he was involved with at the time, and sharing expenses.”
Don’t expect this revelation of truth to keep the Biden administration from lying. But Comer will keep the pressure on.
Comer ended his letter by requesting that Jean-Pierre “correct [Biden’s] March 17, 2023, statement that the evidence from the bank records is ‘not true’ or explain, in detail, which financial transactions in the chart below that he is disputing.”
Comer is demanding that Jean-Pierre correct Biden’s statement by March 27.
Looks like Biden is up against a deadline. Let’s see how Team Demented responds.
