THE HOUSE OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE IS REQUESTING DOCUMENTS FROM REAL ESTATE INVESTOR ELIZABETH NAFTALI, THE DEMOCRATIC DONOR AND JOE BIDEN-APPOINTEE WHO REPORTEDLY BOUGHT HUNTER BIDEN’S ART.

House Oversight wrote a letter to Naftali Saturday requesting documents and communications related to her reported purchase of Hunter Biden’s art, appointment to the U.S. Commission for the Preservation of America’s Heritage Abroad and visits to the White House, the New York Post first reported. She has a deadline of Aug. 11 to comply with House Oversight’s demands.

“These facts raise the Committee’s concerns, and the Committee seeks documents and information regarding your purchase of Hunter Biden art,” the committee wrote, according to the New York Post. “Your position on the Commission is particularly suspicious because of Hunter Biden’s previous actions to elevate his business partner — Eric Schwerin — to the same post while his father was Vice President.”

Hunter Biden learned the identity of Naftali and another one of his art buyers, three people directly familiar with Biden’s account of his art career told Business Insider. Naftali donated $13,414 to Joe Biden’s reelection campaign and at least $29,700 to the Democratic National Committee this year, the outlet reported. Ahead of the 2022 midterm elections, Naftali hosted a fundraiser with Vice President Kamala Harris, Deadline previously reported.

President Biden appointed Naftali to the Commission for the Preservation of America’s Heritage Abroad in July 2022. A Biden administration official told Insider that Naftali was recommended by former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her appointment had no connection to her reported art purchases. It’s unclear if Naftali bought Hunter Biden’s art before or after she was appointed.

Naftali has visited the White House at least a dozen times since December 2021, visitor logs show, and secured a meeting with White House senior advisor Neera Tanden, the Washington Free Beacon first reported.

Former President Barack Obama appointedHunter Biden’s longtime business associate Eric Schwerin to a position on the Commission in March 2015. Shortly after Schwerin’s appointment, Hunter Biden’s cousin Missy Owens asked him if her mother, Valerie Biden Owens, could receive a presidential appointment, emails on Biden’s laptop show, which were first reported by the Free Beacon.

“I didn’t know she wanted to do that me [sic] of these. Eric asked for one of these the day after the election in 2008,” Hunter Biden told Owens. “You know better than me what are real and interesting appointments. Let’s go through the list with Steve and see what makes sense. I don’t know how much 2016 and nepotism plays into it.”

As part of his revised child support settlement, Hunter Biden agreed to give some of his art to love child Navy Joan Roberts.Biden will no longer be paying $20,000 a month to support his child and she will not be taking the Biden name. (WTH is wrong with this woman, does she think his art will be more valuable later?)

Joe Biden had not acknowledged his grandchild’s existence until a Friday statement provided to People Magazine. The four-year-old child was confirmed to be Hunter Biden’s by a DNA test commissioned in 2020 by her mother, Lunden Alexis Roberts.

John Fetterman Tells NYT About Plan To Fight ‘Hanger. Hangry. Hanger. Hangry.’

Corey WalkerJuly 28, 2023 6:45 PM

Democratic Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman raised eyebrows on Friday when he tripped over his words during an interview with The New York Times.

The senator sat down with The New York Times for a wide-ranging discussion on topics including his health and the overall state of Congress. Fetterman suffered from a stroke in 2022, which has left him speech impaired. The New York Times pointed out that Fettermanuses a tablet to transcribe voice to text so that he can take questions from reporters. He also acknowledged that his political opponents are likely to hold his speech issues against him.

The New York Times asked Fetterman if the “political posturing” in Congress ever made him “cynical.” He immediately fumbled his words.

“Everyone here is cynical, of course. But we can fight for things that are meaningful. That we should have no hungry. Hanger. Hangry. Hanger. Hangry,” Fetterman said.

“Fox News will go crazy if that makes your story,” Fetterman chuckled, seemingly realizing that this interaction could be used against him.

Fetterman has a history of fumbling over his words. Last month, the senator struggled to articulate his thoughts during a hearing about a collapsed highway in Philadelphia, the New York Post reported.

“Uh no, I – uh, would just, um, really like to, you know — the 95, 95, 95. You know?” Fetterman said.

(So we have 3 senators that are mentally disabled to be able to do their jobs, why isn’t there a rule or law for removing them? The guy literally has brain damage why is he still there? And why aren’t Congress passing some kind of law to prevent this?)

‘I Don’t Even Like Me’: John Fetterman Opens Up About Struggle With Depression

Elizabeth WeibelJuly 29, 2023 12:07 PM

Democratic Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman opened up about his struggle with depression in an interview with The New York Times, saying that he didn’t “even like” himself.

In his interview with the outlet, Fetterman spoke about his first six months in Congress and his battle with depression. Fetterman, who suffered a stroke in May 2022 and has been dealing with depression, shared how he sees himself negatively, though people seem to find him interesting.

“I don’t even like me. That’s the truth,” Fetterman told the outlet in response to a question about why people seemed to find him fascinating, adding that it “doesn’t make any sense” to him.

Fetterman explained to the outlet that his depression is a “burden” and a “privilege” to him.

“It’s also an opportunity to be very bipartisan. Red or blue, if you have depression, get help, please.Don’t ever, ever, ever harm yourself. Do not leave behind a blueprint of that,” Fetterman said.

Fetterman was spotted earlier this week answering questions from people in the hallways of Congress using a tablet that uses voice-to-text dictation. The outlet noted that Fetterman had started using a tablet that can transcribe “voice to text.”

Months after winning his senate bid against Republican challenger Dr. Mehmet Oz, Fetterman checked himself into Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland in order to receive treatment for his depression.

Prior to his return to the Capitol, Fetterman said during an interview with CBS News that he had “stopped leaving” his bed and “stopped eating” and lost a lot of weight, which necessitated his admittance into the hospital.

(So he’s say he is a clown show in Senate, where’s his ever lovely wife these days?)
