I ain’t no president’s son

Generations of Americans have related to Creedence Clearwater Revival’s Vietnam War protest song " Fortunate Son ," in which Hall of Fame songwriter John Fogerty draws the distinction between the ruling class and the common man with the line, “It ain’t me, I ain’t no senator’s son.”
Fogerty further explained the lyrics in his 2016 memoir of the same name: “Julie Nixon was dating David Eisenhower. You’d hear about the son of this senator or that congressman who was given a deferment from the military or a choice position in the military. They seemed privileged and whether they liked it or not, these people were symbolic in the sense that they weren’t being touched by what their parents were doing. They weren’t being affected like the rest of us.”
SWEETHEART HUNTER PLEA IS A GIFT TO BIDEN AND TRUMP
War is an obvious example of the difference between modern royals and peasants. Many politicians in the making have dodged drafts due to less-than-believable medical problems, and elites have regularly been caught lying about their fraudulent heroism. This privilege enjoyed by the powerful and their families reaches further than the ability to avoid serving the country abroad; at least in Hunter Biden’s case, being the son of the sitting president is a get-out-of-jail-free card.
The president’s son went through a five-year investigation into claims of foreign influence peddling, tax evasion, and gun crimes, among other things. It ended with a guilty plea to two misdemeanor tax-related crimes, including a deal that whisks away an illegal gun possession charge that would have put the smartest man Joe Biden knows in prison. Undoubtedly this is a ploy to end the investigation into the Biden family’s corrupt business dealings once and for all just in time for campaign season.
What happens to a member of the unwashed masses who lies about being a drug addict when purchasing a firearm? Rapper Kodak Black was convicted of the same crime and served three years in prison. Deja Taylor of Virginia will serve 18-24 months in prison for buying a gun while using marijuana. The Federal Bureau of Prisons data show that over 32,000, or 21.7%, of all federal prisoners were convicted of weapons, explosives, or arson-related crimes. But sleep well knowing that the world’s best dad won’t be among them.
You or I would not survive a Hunter-sized run-in with the feds, nor are we likely to land a sweet gig at a Ukrainian natural gas company. For the senators’ sons: everything. For the rest of us: the law.

House Republicans are seemingly unified in condemning U.S. prosecutor David Weiss’s appointment as a special counsel in the Hunter Biden investigation, including several moderate members of the GOP conference.
Attorney General Merrick Garland appointed Weiss as special counsel in the “ongoing investigation” into Hunter Biden, “as well as for any other matters that arose or may arise from that investigation.”
Rep. Don Bacon (R-NE) said he hopes Weiss “gets to the truth,” but expressed concern with his appointment.
“I hope Special Counsel David Weiss informs Americans just how many millions of dollars Hunter Biden made on what his ex-partner called an “illusion” of access, and if the President financially benefited,” Bacon said. “How many LLCs were actually formed to mask where the money was sent? The President denied any involvement, but now we know he was on approximately 20 phone calls. I hope the Special Counsel gets to the truth.”
“At the same time, I’m concerned that Special Counsel Weiss previously recommended a sweetheart deal for Hunter that was rightfully rejected by the judge,” Bacon added.
Weiss’s office brokered the “sweetheart” plea deal for Hunter Biden in his tax and firearm criminal case that Judge Maryellen Norieka ultimately rejected. That case is likely headed for trial as Hunter Biden’s attorneys and federal prosecutors are unlikely to reach another agreement, NBC News reported Friday.
Weiss’s appointment also came one day after House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-KY) announced he would subpoena members of the Biden family to testify before his committee.
Rep. Nick Langworthy (R-NY) called Weiss’s appointment “a clear attempt to cover up mounting evidence from the House Oversight Committee.”
Langworthy said:
The statements from moderate Reps. Bacon and Langworthy are aligned with House Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s (R-CA) views on Weiss’s appointment.
“This action by Biden’s [Department of Justice (DOJ)] cannot be used to obstruct congressional investigations or whitewash the Biden family corruption,” McCarthy posted online. “If Weiss negotiated the sweetheart deal that couldn’t get approved, how can he be trusted as a Special Counsel?”
As Breitbart News’s Joel Pollak detailed, Weiss’s appointment as special counsel may violate federal law because he was not chosen from outside the government.

An IRS whistleblower testified that Weiss’s previous request to be appointed special counsel was denied.
