Name Grifting?

 It's a curious Biden-story.

So this trustee is in charge of a Chapter 11 bankruptcy company (health-related).  At some point several years ago....they sought out new business, and this 'deal' came up.  For a sum of $600,000....arranged as sort of a loan deal....James Biden (the brother of Joe Biden) said the family name was worth X, and that he could arrange more business from the Middle East.  So the health company loaned out money to James....but no business ever came.

Somewhere in this business....where the money 'moved'....James Biden wrote out a check for $200,000 to Joe Biden.  No one says much except it would appear that the $200k was a cut of something.

So this brings to the oddball situation of James, Hunter and Joe....that they've all sold something, but you really can't find where the government did some service in return for the three getting cash.  

Just selling a name, but no return on it?  Well....yeah.  A crime?  No.

Looking at all the Chinese connections and Ukraine business....it brings me to the old subject on Hunter Biden....that people seemed to think they were getting something but the reality (the non-illegal part of this)....is a name had value. 

It's like saying the name 'Pinkerton' (detective agency), or 'Brando' (acting), or Aaron (baseball).  

Can you impeach on selling a name?  Not really....unless you skipped on taxes.  

It is sorta comical to say this...but all this wasted chatter really revolves around the name 'Biden'.  Seems like the answer in life for people in poverty....just mount a name change....saying you are a 'Biden' and some money will fall out of the sky.  

Five Humble Thoughts

 1.  After reviewing this Congressional staff guy who got wild and crazy in some sexual act (with another guy)....I came to ask the critical question.  Was this his first time use of the Congressional hearing room?  I sorta doubt it.  It would not shock me if he'd been there a dozen times.  

A big deal?  No...there's probably four-hundred folks who can claim some sort of sexual status in the room (like the mile-high club).

2.  If someone has done something to convince you of their 'woke' status.....are you likely to turn around and leave?  Like in a church, a bar, a baseball game?  

3.   To be honest, if I was a Fortune-500 company 'boss' (CEO).....I probably would have a hard rule on not hiring Harvard graduates....knowing I'm overpaying a salary for a guy who probably got mostly inflated grades and isn't capable of doing 'honest' work.

4.  Someone made a comment that they were self-partnered.....so I had to look it up.  Basically, they were in single-status, and considered their partner to be themselves.  Permanently single?  Yeah.  Conflicting signals?  Well....you could skip over dating them....as far as I can see.

5.  Just noted....this court business for Hunter Biden....it's in California.  To start on 11 January 2024.  Odds of a deal before then?  I'd give it a 90-percent chance.
