Comer blasts Biden ‘family values’ talk, says he’s responsible for ‘terrible’ Hunter

 House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) ripped President Biden Monday night, accusing the commander-in-chief of giving lip service to “family values” while setting up his son as the “fall guy” for the first family’s multimillion-dollar influence-peddling scheme overseas.

“It’s really sad when Joe Biden tries to portray himself as a family figure,” Comer, 50, said on Fox News’ “Jesse Watters Primetime.” “Hunter Biden is terrible, but his dad is the reason … this money didn’t just fall into Hunter Biden’s lap. It’s because of Joe Biden.”

Hunter Biden, 53, agreed last month to a probation-only plea deal, which will see him admit to two tax misdemeanors but let him off from a host of other potential charges, including money laundering and bribery.

The president’s son is also set to dodge a felony firearms charge for lying on a federal gun purchasing form about his drug abuse.

“Just because you’re a crack cocaine addict doesn’t give you the right to take $25 million from foreign nationals and not pay a penny in taxes on it,” Comer said Monday, referring to his committee’s probe of Hunter’s lucrative worldwide business deals.

“To listen to Joe Biden talk about family values or to listen to Joe Biden talk about criminal justice reform, or policy where he wants to hire more IRS employees to go after tax cheats, or have more gun laws to go after people that possess firearms — and his own son pled guilty to two tax evasion charges and one illegal possession of firearms [charge],” Comer added. “I mean, this is a terrible example of leadership in the White House.”

At least nine Biden family members benefited from the foreign arrangements, which involved payments through a series of “shell companies,” the House Oversight Committee revealed through bank records.

“Just because you’re a crack cocaine addict doesn’t give you the right to take $25 million from foreign nationals and not pay a penny in taxes on it,” Comer said on Fox News.

The first son also reached a settlement last week with his baby mama Lunden Roberts, which will allow his unacknowledged daughter to receive proceeds from his artwork.

“You mentioned his grandchildren, his other six grandchildren,” Comer said, pointing out Biden’s refusal to acknowledge Hunter’s love child with ex-stripper Lunden Roberts. “Well, one of them is scarred for life because she got hung up in the Biden family influence-peddling. We found out about her through a bank violation called the suspicious activity report. They were funneling money that they were laundering through shell companies down to one of his grandchildren, to try to hide it from being in Joe Biden’s name and to evade taxes.”

“But I will tell you when that poor girl goes to get a mortgage or apply for a credit card, she’s gonna have problems because she has a bank violation, a major bank violation,” added Comer, a former bank director. “She’s always going to have to hire an attorney to help explain the financial situation through probably no fault of her own.”

Hunter Biden agreed to a probation-only plea deal last month, which will find him guilty of two tax misdemeanors but let him off easy on a host of other alleged charges.

The House Oversight chair also mentioned previously reported text messages from the now-infamous laptop, in which Hunter said he was forced to give up “half” of his salary to his father — and raged to family members that first lady Jill Biden was an “entitled c–t.”

“Look, I mean, you can see in his text messages what Hunter Biden said about Joe Biden, the first lady, I’m not even gonna keep repeating what he said about her,” Comer said. “But he’s talked bad about his dad, you read one of the texts he wrote to his daughter about how he’s had to keep his family up, and he’s kept his family up, not because he did any work, but because Joe laundered money through shell companies.”

'I thought I was really horny and aggressive — but it was a brain tumor'

 Shaun Turner was flabbergasted after learning that his sudden onset of “horny and aggressive” behavior was the result of an undiscovered brain tumor.

“I had personality changes,” Turner, 38, said of his seemingly cancer-induced personality shift.

The UK-based father of two first realized something was awry in 2014 after being beset by a host of unusual symptoms.

The bosun boat boss said he was “really tired all the time, really horny and aggressive,” which he found at odds with his typical personality, which is “normally very chilled and easygoing with loads of energy.”

Not only that, but Turner started losing his sight and sense of smell. Alarmed, his wife booked an eye test, whereupon the discovery of an anomaly prompted a further scan, which revealed an orange-sized mass on the Brit’s brain.

Turner was officially diagnosed with a brain tumor, which along with blindness and other physical affects, can reportedly cause the sufferer to experience a range of demeanor changes.

These include mood swings, aggression and “a loss of inhibitions or restraints and behaving in socially or culturally unacceptable ways, according to experts.

Shaun Turner, far right, lost his mother, Jill Turner, to a brain tumor five years ago. He is pictured here with his mom and brother Daniel Turner.

Turner received 62 staples to stitch up the wound from his brain tumor surgery.

“In all honesty when I found out it didn’t feel real,” Turner recalled. “My entire family and friends were all so worried about it that I didn’t feel able to show any weakness or that it fazed me.”

He added, “I had a positive attitude and genuinely believed I would be alright, but I was terrified inside.”

Fortunately, Turner had the tumor removed that same year and now has to undergo regular checkups to see if there’s any recurrence.

He’s not out of the woods. “I believe there are very small traces left which is what I had radiotherapy for in December 2020,” the patient lamented.

Unfortunately, this wasn’t the family’s first bout with the disease as in 2018, Turner’s mom died of glioblastoma — a form of cancer that originates in the brain and spinal cord.

Despite receiving radiotherapy, the disease was too aggressive and she succumbed four months after her diagnosis.

The incidents were perplexing as cancer apparently doesn’t run in the Turner family.

“For the disease to have struck our family twice was shocking and we have asked doctors the likelihood of passing it onto our children but they have said it is purely bad luck,” said Shaun’s brother Daniel, 36, an electrician. “My brother has had genetic testing and there is nothing to prove it is in your family gene – it’s just awful luck.”

Experts have agreed with the Turner family’s grim assessement.

“Brain tumors are indiscriminate; they can affect anyone at any age,” said Dr. Karen Noble, director of research, policy, and innovation at UK charity Brain Tumour Research. “To have these two diagnoses in the same family is an extremely rare occurrence, less than a one in a million chance. If we are to change the stark facts around survival of this disease, then we simply must invest more into discovery science – the route to a cure.”

Meanwhile, in light of the freak occurrence, Daniel now devotes time and effort to helping combat the insidious condition, which currently affects more than 1 million Americans.

Shaun’s brother Turner partook in a bike race to raise funds for Brain Tumour Research, a UK charity dedicated to combating the disease.

On July 1, the sibling took part in the 68-mile Isle of Wight Randonnée to raise money for the aforementioned group with a goal to amass funds for brain cancer research. They ended up raising nearly $13,000.

“Supporting a charity that focuses on the research into brain tumors is vitally important so we can help find better treatment options and eventually find a cure for the disease,” Daniel said. “It’s too late for my mum, but for people like Shaun who are living with the disease, we must progress the research of brain tumors and bring it in line with advances in the treatment of other cancers.”

SF reparations panelist calls straight white men ‘serial killers’

 A member of San Francisco’s slavery reparations committee blasted straight white men as a “danger to society” — and claimed “white supremacy is ingrained in the DNA” of America.

Nikcole Cunningham, who serves on the California city’s 15-person African American Reparations Advisory Committee, launched the broadside against straight white men in an interview with The Daily Telegraph.

“Straight white men are abusive. Straight white men are serial killers,” Cunningham told the news outlet. “They have the most — I watch these shows — the most serial killers. Straight white men are the ones who are shooting up schools, right?

“So they are a danger to society,” she said, adding: “Not all of them.”

Cunningham also claimed that “white supremacy is ingrained in the DNA in this country and definitely in this city.”

The committee — which was established in 2020 to advise officials on how to address discrimination — seeks to grant each eligible black resident $5 million in reparations for slavery.

Cunningham told the Telegraph that white people should be held accountable for the actions of slave owners as they are “still benefiting from the harms that… [their] ancestor[s] caused.”

She slammed white men for not backing reparations.

“They’re not doing that. So if anything, they pose more of a harm than support and help. And then you got to remember their ancestors … are the ones who were standing out here in their Sunday best watching black people hang and burn,” Cunningham told the outlet.

“So until white people come to grips with their ancestry too and make amends with them, to say, I want to be the change,” added Cunningham, who was reportedly appointed to the committee because she is suing the city, her former employer, for discrimination.

She is alleging that she was targeted because she is disabled, according to the outlet.

Critics responded to her comments, saying she was being hypocritical.

“Bigotry of any kind is unacceptable,” one Twitter user wrote.

Another added, “It’s pretty disgusting to hear these people spew racism such as white men are no good. There are good and bad people of all skin colors.”

“This is racism at its highest and gravely offensive,” a third Twitter user wrote.

Last week, the reparations task force handed lawmakers its draft report.

Gov. Gavin Newsom set up a similar California-wide task force for reparations.

Under its eligibility requirements for the money, residents must be over 18, identify as black for at least 10 years and meet at least two of eight tests, including being descended from slaves or having been “incarcerated by the failed War on Drugs,” the outlet said.

The draft report reportedly cites other groups that have received similar payments, including Japanese Americans interned during World War II and Holocaust victims.

In addition to the San Francisco reparations committee, a California-wide task force was set up by Gov. Gavin Newsom for similar purposes, according to the outlet. 

Cunningham compared the reparations sum to the more than $100 billion President Biden has given to Ukraine since Russia’s invasion.

“No one asked us, ‘Hey, Nikcole, can we send this money to Ukraine?’ They just found the money and sent it,” she told the Telegraph.

Cunningham’s incendiary comments are likely to inflame tensions between advocates and skeptics of the reparations plan, the outlet noted.
