The author\u2062 views this action as a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/kamala-harris-pleads-for-public-trust-in-white-house-and-coronavirus-vaccines\/\" title=\"Kamala Harris Pleads for Public &#039;Trust&#039; in White House and Coronavirus Vaccines\">significant failure<\/a> both as a leader and as a father, suggesting that it is indeed\u200c an attempt to shield\u200b Hunter from <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\">potential legal repercussions related<\/a> to his \u200bbusiness dealings,\u200d particularly with \u200bBurisma holdings in ukraine during Vice President Biden&#8217;s tenure.The timing of the pardon is highlighted as\u200c suspicious, specifically the start date of \u2063January 1, 2014, which \u200bcoincides with Hunter&#8217;s\u200c appointment to the board\u200c of\u2063 Burisma. The \u200cauthor also\u2062 discusses broader themes of parental obligation and accountability, arguing that Biden\u2019s actions may undermine \u200dHunter&#8217;s maturity and self-reliance. The piece concludes with a call for\u2064 a change in leadership \u2064as Biden\u2019s presidency comes to a close, expressing disappointment in his handling of familial and national \u2063responsibilities.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_1)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Leave it to the derelict president to save his worst act &mdash; as both a father and a leader &mdash; for last.<\/p>\n<p>Lame duck President Joe Biden &mdash; clearly with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/bidens-black-friday-shopping-haul-anti-israel-book-radical-ivy-league-professor\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">zero rips to give<\/a> with just a little over a month left of his disastrous presidency &mdash; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/breaking-joe-biden-pardons-son-hunter\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">pardoned<\/a> his pathetic, overgrown man-child of a son late Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>(Neither here nor there, but it says a lot about the cowardly character of Joe that he chose to announce this late on Thanksgiving week Sunday, when he knew national pushback would be minimal.)<\/p>\n<p>Mind you, this isn&rsquo;t some pardon for anything specific that Hunter has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/breaking-jury-announces-verdict-hunter-biden-trial\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">been found guilty of<\/a>, but an all-encompassing blanket pardon for anything else he&nbsp;<em>could&nbsp;<\/em>be guilty of.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, as even the left-leaning <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2024\/12\/02\/hunter-biden-pardon-nixon-00192101\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Politico<\/a> noted, Hunter Biden&rsquo;s pardon is the most comprehensive and sweeping pardon seen since a certain Richard Nixon was pardoned by President Gerald Ford.<\/p>\n<p> <script type=\"text\/javascript\"> \t\t\tif ( getCookie( \"ff_subbed\" ) ) { \t\t\t\tdocument.getElementById(\"stnvideo\").remove() \t\t\t} \t\t<\/script> <\/p>\n<p>Funny how the left tries to paint President-elect Donald Trump in Nixon-esque strokes, and yet it&rsquo;s the allegedly upstanding Democratic president&rsquo;s son who needs the Nixon-esque pardon.<\/p>\n<p>And if there was&nbsp;<em>any&nbsp;<\/em>doubt that the elder Biden knows exactly what he&rsquo;s doing and what he&rsquo;s protecting his son from, look no further than the peculiar period of time that Hunter&rsquo;s pardon covers.<\/p>\n<p>Politico &mdash; again, a left-leaning outlet &mdash; had its hand forced as it called out that very timing.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;The starting date of Jan. 1, 2014, in the Biden pardon was surely not chosen randomly: Hunter Biden joined the board of Burisma Holdings, a Ukrainian gas company, in April 2014, while his father was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/hunter-biden-defector-emails-pipeline-to-obama-admin-seen-as-currency\/\" title=\"Hunter Biden Defector Emails: &#039;Pipeline&#039; to Obama Admin Seen as &#039;Currency&#039;\">vice president<\/a>,&rdquo; Politico noted. &ldquo;Republicans have accused the younger Biden of illegally profiting off his position on that board.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Republicans have also accused Joe &ldquo;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/watch-witness-impeachment-hearing-says-joe-biden-big-guy-china-deal\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Big Guy<\/a>&rdquo; Biden of also directly benefiting from this allegedly illegal profiteering.
