The author expresses mixed feelings about Biden&#8217;s absence: on one hand,it is a relief not to constantly analyze his public statements; on the other,it misses the more entertaining aspects of his persona. The article highlights Biden&#8217;s claims that European leaders are reaching out to him and his intent to write a memoir, which the author finds amusing given biden&#8217;s perceived forgetfulness.<\/p>\n<p>the author discusses Biden&#8217;s self-proclaimed identity as a good father, questioning his parenting record, especially in light of his son Hunter&#8217;s well-documented struggles. These include addiction issues and ethical concerns regarding Hunter&#8217;s business dealings and how they might have been influenced by Biden&#8217;s political career. The author critically reflects on Biden&#8217;s past relationships wiht both his children and his daughter&#8217;s problematic issues, concluding that Biden&#8217;s parenting may not have been as exemplary as he wishes it to be remembered.<\/p>\n<p>The piece ends with a suggestion that Biden&#8217;s record as a parent is just as flawed as his presidency, implying a broader concern about the legacy he is leaving in both realms.  <\/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><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>While the establishment media and those in his orbit are busy producing the first wave of now-it-can-be-told memoirs about former President Joe Biden&rsquo;s tenure, you may notice that Biden himself has been conspicuously quiet &mdash; especially since he revealed his cancer diagnosis in May, just a few days before publication of the most damning of these expos&eacute;s.<\/p>\n<p>I&rsquo;m of two minds about this leave of absence.

Taylor Jr., SHRM&rsquo;s president who joined Biden on stage after his address, asked him what he would most like to be remembered for.&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>&ldquo;Being a good father,&rdquo; Biden responded.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Look, I get that people are the best parents in the world &hellip; until they have children. And even those who aren&rsquo;t parents have to concede that some children will be more challenging than others. But at some point, we reach the junction where we can cast aspersions on your skills as a mother or a father. Joe has, to use the parlance of his beloved railroads, blown past that junction, and the station, and derailed at the end of the line.<\/p>\n<p>Joe has had three children who survived to adulthood. Beau Biden, who died at age 46 in 2015, seemed to have turned out all right. As to the other two, Joe&rsquo;s batting .333 at best.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/white-house-promise-shredded-hunter-biden-looking-forward-meeting-potential-buyers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">there&rsquo;s Hunter<\/a>. Oh heavens, is there ever.<\/p>\n<p>I don&rsquo;t think that there&rsquo;s much more that needs to be said about Hunter&rsquo;s problems. What&rsquo;s problematic is the extent to which Joe Biden&rsquo;s political career effectively managed to both get Hunter into, and then out of, these problems.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, one nickname that followed Joe Biden around Capitol Hill was &ldquo;The Senator from MBNA.&rdquo; That now-defunct Delaware-based megabank financially supported Biden, who routinely scratched its back reciprocally via legislation.<\/p>\n<p>The piece in which that moniker was first applied to him, by conservative commentator Byron York in <a href=\"https:\/\/spectator.org\/63981_senator-mbna-our-january-1998-issue\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The American Spectator<\/a> all the way back in 1998, noted that one of the ways the then-senator was uncomfortably close to MBNA was that the company, according to York, &ldquo;hired Biden&rsquo;s son for a lucrative job in which, according to bank officials, he is being groomed for a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/upenn-women-submit-lia-thomas-complaint-anonymously-fearing-destruction-of-careers-and-futures\/\" title=\"UPenn Women Submit Lia Thomas Complaint Anonymously, Fearing &#039;Destruction of Careers and Futures&#039;\">senior management position<\/a>.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Which son?&nbsp;<em>Ding ding ding: <\/em>It was Hunter. And while hindsight is 20\/20, do you really think <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/newly-uncovered-docs-show-unusually-cozy-relationship-hunter-bidens-attorneys-biden-doj-prosecutors\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hunter Biden<\/a> was a man who would have been groomed, in other circumstances, for a &ldquo;senior management position?&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Indeed, as Matthew Yglesias wrote in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vox.com\/policy-and-politics\/2019\/10\/1\/20891510\/hunter-biden-burisma-ukraine-shokin\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Vox<\/a> article back in 2020, Hunter&rsquo;s career &ldquo;never really seems to have quite launched as an independent entity&rdquo; from his father&rsquo;s political fortunes. When dad was busy defending Amtrak, Hunter was there, Yglesias wrote. When dad was providing favors for MBNA, Hunter was there to pick up some more crumbs. When dad had accumulated reams of power on Capitol Hill, guess who else was operating primarily on Capitol Hill? The question answers itself.<\/p>\n<p>This connection got exceptionally problematic during Biden&rsquo;s vice presidency, when Hunter was apparently a low-functioning addict but doing business with some of the richest men and most powerful companies in the world. He was on the board of the Ukrainian energy company Burisma while his dad was point-man on Ukraine &mdash; and doing fun things like claiming he got a powerful prosecutor who&rsquo;d gone after Burisma tossed out the door:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Here is Joe Biden bragging about how he leveraged aid to force Ukraine into firing prosecutor Viktor Shokin.<\/p>\n<p>Shokin was investigating Burisma.<\/p>\n<p>Hunter worked for Burisma. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/LgtwyAJftx\">pic.twitter.com\/LgtwyAJftx<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; End Wokeness (@EndWokeness) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/EndWokeness\/status\/1863394719348244673?\">December 2, 2024<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Nor did Hunter stop grifting off pop&rsquo;s career as Biden aimed for the presidency. By the time his dad was elected to the White House, Hunter had launched a career as an artist, selling overpriced doodles to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/buyer-hunter-bidens-artwork-gained-access-wh-13-times-landed-presidential-appointment\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">politically connected Democratic donors<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Joe, again, did less than nothing to stop his son&rsquo;s nepo-racket.<\/p>\n<p>When federal authorities finally focused on Hunter &mdash; for which he has no one to blame but himself, especially since he implicated himself <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/hunter-biden-smartest-man-father-knows-says-smoked-parmesan-cheese-resembled-crack\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">in his own book<\/a> &mdash; Joe first said Hunter wasn&rsquo;t guilty of any crime (quite a statement to make before the wheels of justice duly turn) and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/justice-hunters-pardon-may-just-cost-joe-presidential-library-dreams\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">then pardoned him<\/a> when he was convicted of one set of charges and pleaded guilty to another.<\/p>\n<p>I understand many of us know the heartbreak of a child who ends up addicted to substances, either in spite of or because of our parenting skills. I feel for you. But this is different from actively aiding and abetting not only your son&rsquo;s addiction but his sense of entitlement &mdash; and then <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/joe-biden-may-accidentally-paid-25k-hunter-bidens-prostitute-report\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">sealing it with a pardon<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>And then there&rsquo;s Ashley Biden, Joe Biden&rsquo;s daughter with Jill Biden.<\/p>\n<p>Ashley is comparatively well-adjusted, but only by comparison to Hunter, so that&rsquo;s not saying much. She&rsquo;s still <a href=\"https:\/\/www.axios.com\/2024\/06\/17\/biden-hunter-family-election-2024\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">had addiction<\/a> and entitlement issues, as well, and &mdash; in her infamous leaked journal &mdash; appeared to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/ashley-bidens-leaked-diary-detailing-vulgar-acts-joe-fl-woman-trouble\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">blame pops<\/a> for at least some of her promiscuity, citing &ldquo;showers w\/ my dad (probably not appropriate)&rdquo; as part of the reason for being &ldquo;hyper-sexualized [at] a young age.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>If Hunter is a swing and a miss, Ashley is &mdash; at best &mdash; an easy-out double-play ground ball in the parenting department.<\/p>\n<p>And then there&rsquo;s the fact that being a good parent also means being a good grandparent, should you be so fortunate to have that fall upon you.<\/p>\n<p>Lest we forget, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/view-hosts-defend-joe-biden-refuses-acknowledge-granddaughter\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Joe and Jill Biden refused<\/a> to even recognize one of their own grandchildren thanks to the fact that she was born out of wedlock via a fling Hunter had with a woman named Lunden Roberts.<\/p>\n<p>Even though a DNA test definitively proved the then-first son had fathered the child, Hunter would go on to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/hunter-biden-claimed-lunden-roberts-basketball-mentor-daughter-sasha-obama\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">write in his memoir<\/a> that &ldquo;I had no recollection of our encounter.&rdquo; (Another salient reminder that how you father a child matters in all aspects, including in how&nbsp;<em>he<\/em> fathers children.)<\/p>\n<p>It got bad enough that the Joe and Jill were excoriated for not recognizing their granddaughter Navy Jean <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/bidens-make-cruel-statement-stockings-wh-fireplace-second-year-row\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">with a stocking<\/a> in the White House Christmas display &mdash; an unbelievably petty act. Add to this the fact that another grandchild of Joe&rsquo;s was apparently involved in a kerfuffle with her Secret Service detail &mdash; one of the unfortunate&nbsp;<em>don&rsquo;t-you-know-who-I-am?<\/em> variety &mdash; which led to the first family <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/secret-service-agents-thrilled-rid-bidens-1-agent-targeted-outrageous-biden-grandchild-incident-report\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">allegedly retaliating<\/a> against the agents involved, and you might see why grandparenting doesn&rsquo;t seem to be Joe&rsquo;s speed, either.<\/p>\n<p>What Biden doesn&rsquo;t seem to realize is that his record as a parent in public is just as bad as his dismal record as president &mdash; and, indeed, these two vocations are inextricably linked. Yet, here he is, telling the world how European leaders are still calling him and how he really wants to be remembered for just being dad, as if that somehow makes him look any better.<\/p>\n<p>Elsewhere in his remarks Wednesday, he complained that everything he&rsquo;d worked to do was being undone because of you-know-who, the successor whom he didn&rsquo;t mention by name, as if the guy we elected to replace him was Voldemort or something.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Many of the things I worked so damn hard, that I thought I changed in the country, are changing so rapidly,&rdquo; he said.<\/p>\n<p>Most of us, in fact, find that the legacy we leave will be through our children. The case is different for U.S. presidents, of course, who determine what trajectory this glorious country takes.<\/p>\n<p>What does it say, then, that a little over six months after Joe Biden left office, his achievements in both presidenting and parenting are both, quite sadly, laughable?<\/p>\n<div style=\"position: relative;\">\n<div class=\"ff-fancy-header-container\"> \t\t\t \t<\/div>\n<div class=\"entry-submit-correction inner-content\">\n<div class=\"correction-form\">\n<form style=\"display: none;\">\n<div class=\"sc-name-field\"> \t\t\t\t\t\t<label>* Name<\/label> \t\t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"text\" name=\"name\" required> \t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"sc--field\"> \t\t\t\t\t\t<label>* <\/label> \t\t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"text\" name=\"\" required> \t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p> \t\t\t\t\t<label>* Message<\/label> \t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t<textarea name=\"message\" required><\/textarea> \t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"required-message\" style=\"display: none; padding-bottom: 15px;\">* All fields are required.<\/div>\n<p> \t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"submit\" value=\"Submit\" onclick=\"event.preventDefault(); firefly_sc();\"> \t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"firefly-sc-confirm\" style=\"display: none;\">Success!<\/div>\n<\/p><\/form>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> \t\t<script> \t\t\tfunction firefly_sc() { \t\t\t\tif( typeof window.captchaPublicKey==typeof undefined ){ \t\t\t\t\tconsole.error('window.captchaPublicKey is not defined'); \t\t\t\t} \t\t\t\tgrecaptcha.execute( window.captchaPublicKey, { action: 'submit_correction' } ).then( function( token ) { \t\t\t\t\tvar opts={ \t\t\t\t\t\taction:    'firefly_sc_submit', \t\t\t\t\t\tname:      document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"name\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\t:     document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\tmessage:   document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"message\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\tpost_id:   firefly_post_id, \t\t\t\t\t\tcap_token: token \t\t\t\t\t}  \t\t\t\t\tvar inputs=[ 'name', '', 'message' ];  \t\t\t\t\tfor( var i=0; i <inputs.length; i++ ) if( !

I have mixed feelings about this absence. On one hand, as someone who values strong leadership from the White House, it&#8217;s reassuring; we no longer need to scrutinize Biden&#8217;s every awkward moment to gauge the state of the executive branch. However, as someone who enjoys a bit of schadenfreude, I find myself missing &#8220;Scranton Joe.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>In light of recent events-amid all the excitement surrounding Big Beautiful Bill and Independence Day-I have some good news if you haven&#8217;t heard: Joe is back and just as oblivious as ever! Much attention was drawn to his comments on Wednesday at a Society for Human Resource Management event in San Diego when he claimed that he is receiving calls from various European leaders urging him to engage in combating former President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n<p>He also mentioned that he&#8217;s writing a book since &#8220;every president is expected to write a memoir,&#8221; although one could argue we&#8217;d excuse any president who seems to have forgotten much of their term from this task. Nevertheless, according to Fox News, he insists he&#8217;s &#8220;working like hell&#8221; to complete a 500-page book by &#8220;March&#8221; (it&#8217;s currently July). In covering these rare remarks from our forgetful ex-president, there was so much focus on his delusions regarding his presidency that not enough attention was given to his questionable parenting skills.<\/p>\n<p>At an event covered by The Wall Street Journal, Johnny C. Taylor Jr., SHRM&#8217;s president who joined Biden after his speech, asked what he would like people to remember him for. Biden replied with &#8220;Being a good father.&#8221; While many may consider themselves great parents until they actually have children-and even non-parents must admit some kids are more challenging than others-there comes a point where we can question someone&#8217;s parenting abilities. Joe has clearly surpassed that point; despite having three children reach adulthood-one being Beau Biden who passed away at 46-the success rate isn&#8217;t impressive with Hunter being particularly problematic.<\/p>\n<p>Hunter&#8217;s issues are well-documented and don&#8217;t require further elaboration here; what&#8217;s concerning is how Joe&#8217;s political career seemed intertwined with Hunter&#8217;s troubles both getting into and out of them. For instance, during his time in Congress, one nickname for Joe was &#8220;The Senator from MBNA,&#8221; referring to how Delaware-based bank MBNA supported him financially while benefiting from legislation he pushed through Congress-a relationship complicated further when they hired Hunter for an influential position.<\/p>\n<p>Looking back now raises questions about whether Hunter would have been considered for such roles without their family connection. As noted by Matthew Yglesias in Vox back in 2020: Hunter never truly launched an independent career apart from his father&#8217;s influence; whenever dad had power or connections on Capitol Hill or elsewhere due largely because of political favors extended by Joe.<\/p>\n<p>This became especially troubling during Biden&#8217;s vice presidency when Hunter struggled with addiction yet engaged with powerful global figures while serving on Burisma&#8217;s board amid investigations into its practices connected directly with Ukraine policy overseen by then-Vice President Biden himself-a situation made worse when it came out that Joe leveraged U.S aid against Ukraine specifically targeting prosecutors investigating Burisma while claiming ignorance regarding any conflict involving Hunter working there.<\/p>\n<p>Even after becoming president himself-and despite knowing full well what kind of trouble Hunter had gotten into over time-Joe did little if anything substantial towards curbing these behaviors or addressing them publicly until federal authorities began investigating again following revelations made public through various sources including books written by both men detailing their lives together which only added fuel onto already burning fires surrounding nepotism allegations against them both!<\/p>\n<p>While many understand parental heartbreak stemming from addiction issues faced within families today-it feels different here given how actively involved parents can be enabling such behavior leading up until eventual pardons granted later down line once legal consequences finally caught up! <\/p>\n<p>Then there&#8217;s Ashley Biden-their daughter-with her own struggles but comparatively less severe than those faced by her brother though still marked similarly throughout life experiences shared openly via leaked journals revealing personal reflections blaming dad partially responsible contributing factors behind certain choices made along way too!<\/p>\n<p>Lastly worth noting: Being considered &#8216;good&#8217; parent also extends beyond immediate family responsibilities towards grandchildren should opportunity arise! Yet somehow amidst all this drama unfolding around them-they&#8217;ve chosen not even acknowledge existence granddaughter born out wedlock resulting fling between hunter &amp; woman named Lunden Roberts despite DNA confirming paternity claims made earlier suggesting otherwise!<\/p>\n<p>This lack recognition led public backlash directed toward couple over holiday season last year where stocking left empty representing absence child among other grandchildren present during festivities held inside White House itself showcasing just how far removed they seem reality facing everyday families struggling navigate similar situations daily basis without support systems available help guide decisions moving forward positively instead perpetuating cycles negativity seen throughout history past few decades now culminating current state affairs witnessed today across nation overall reflecting poorly upon legacy left behind ultimately speaking volumes louder than words ever could convey alone!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2455949,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/joe-biden-for-july-5-2025.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[33651],"tags":[38009,52749,32528,32320,36284],"class_list":["post-2455948","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-western-journal","tag-family-dynamics","tag-fatherhood-2","tag-hunter-biden","tag-joe-biden","tag-political-legacy"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/joe-biden-for-july-5-2025.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2455948","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2455948"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2455948\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2455952,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2455948\/revisions\/2455952"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2455949"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2455948"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2455948"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2455948"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
