"

Speaking of people who have power over your life and also don't deserve power over your life, there's a new book that is coming out titled Laptop from Hell, Hunter Biden, Big Tech, and the Dirty Secrets the President Tried to Hide by a New York Post columnist named Miranda Devine.

She says, while Joe Biden waged war on white privilege from the White House, his own family was the living embodiment of the worst of it. Joe has always made sure the Bidens lived a life of unearned privilege and entitlement under his beneficent patronage. Like members of a hereditary aristocracy, the Bidens would have access to the best America can give, most prestigious educational institutions, internships, clerkships, scholarships, directorships, and government sinecures.
