New in PJ Media:
Sit down, I’ve got some bad news: Hunter Biden isn’t really “one of the most consequential artists in this century,” as a gallery owner described him in February. Instead, his meteoric artistic career is just more Biden Crime Family influence peddling. I know, knock me over with a feather, right? It has just come to light that Old Joe Biden named a big buyer of Hunter’s artwork to a prestigious federal commission. What a coincidence! But surely there is nothing untoward or even worth investigating here, right, Mr. Garland? After all, it isn’t as if this fishy artistic savant were named something like Donald Trump Jr.
Hunter Biden burst onto the artistic scene like Oppenheimer quoting the Bhagavad Gita. This crackhead party boy who had shown no previous sign of having any interest in art, much less a talent for it, overnight became one of the hottest properties in the art world, with his paintings going for as much as $500,000 and generally selling for between $55,000 to $225,000 each. By way of comparison, in 2021 a painting by one of the most celebrated artists of the twentieth century, Pablo Picasso, sold for $150,000. To be sure, better-known Picasso paintings frequently sell for millions, but it was astonishing for Hunter Biden paintings to be selling for prices that were remotely comparable to what was paid for anything that one of the great masters produced.
Astonishing and suspicious. What was really going on was all too obvious, although those who were involved in the scheme did their best to conceal it. New York gallery owner George Berges, who displayed Hunter’s daubings, insisted that everything was as honest as the day is long: “I know that there’s a lot of politics involved at the moment which is a shame because his work is not only good it’s important. Hunter Biden will become one of the most consequential artists in this century because the world needs his art now more than ever.” Oh yes, that’s exactly what the world needs.
Business Insider noted Monday that “in 2021, when a New York art gallery debuted Hunter Biden’s paintings with asking prices as high as $500,000, the White House said that Hunter Biden’s team had a process for carefully vetting buyers and that their identities were known only to the gallery, and not to Hunter Biden himself.” There, see? No influence peddling here! Why, good ol’ Honest Hunter doesn’t even know who is buying his dreck! So how could he be selling them access to The Big Guy?
Well, knock me over with a feather again; it looks as if he found a way. Business Insider adds that Hunter “did in fact learn the identity of two buyers, according to three people directly familiar with Hunter Biden’s own account of his art career. And one of those buyers is indeed someone who got a favor from the Biden White House.” Wow, who could possibly have seen this coming?
There is more. Read the rest here.

Try listening to jen psaki…when she lied for biden…explain about the “gallers” and the pretend art.
she keeps circling back to the word that should be “gallery”….but she doesn’t say it.
Just another way to get drug money for his no-good, no-account offspring.

You mean the sale of his paintings will not support his 4 yr old granddaughter who he & his son refuse to acknowledge?

You can’t get much lower than the Biden’s. But it seems like a great many of our Washington D.C. political leaders are all in office to get wealthy.

The Hunter Biden’s pictures are nothing more than money laundering vehicles for President Biden.
