            Anywho... what I'm saying it isn't just Hunter but rather several in the Biden family who have been living off his name and position for many years -- and getting rich in the process.

            For instance

            No, with the Bidens the only thing that any of them appear to have going for them is that they are related to Joe. And they've gotten rich because of it, being deeply ensconced in the 1%ers as a result.

            Source: The Ties that Biden


            David Richter, the president of Hill International (HIL), a mid-sized outfit that manages construction projects, was speaking last year at a private meeting with investors when he was asked about the recent success of his newest subsidiary, HillStone International.

            How was it that HillStone, a newcomer in the business of home building, landed a massive and potentially lucrative contract to build 100,000 homes in war-torn Iraq?

            Richter didn’t mince words. It really helps, he said, to have “the brother of the vice president as a partner,” according to a person who was present.

            The “brother” Richter was referring to during the meeting is James Biden, the younger brother of Vice President Joe Biden.

            Since November 2010, James Biden has been the executive vice president of Hill International’s housing subsidiary despite little if any documented work history in residential construction. And if the company’s projections are accurate, both Hill and Biden are on the verge of a huge payday, beneficiaries, some analysts believe, of James Biden’s connections to the Obama Administration through his older brother.

            Indeed, the Iraq project may be the most lucrative single development in Hill’s history. Since 2011, Hill, located in Marlton, NJ., has been losing money; the shares were recently trading at $3.82, down about 28% this year on New York Stock Exchange trading.

            And some analysts remain dubious about the completion of the Iraq project, including those at Sidoti & Company, which slashed earnings estimates on Friday. But if company officials are to be believed -- and there’s good reason to believe them given Hill’s connections to the Obama Administration -- Hill will be solidly profitable once the Iraq development gets underway. Company officials say the Iraq project is slated to generate $1.5 billion in revenues over the next three years, more than three times all the revenues Hill produced in 2011.

            The moral of the story? During the Obama Administration the best way to turn around a failing company is to put a Biden on your payroll and watch the government dollars start rolling in.

                The few times I gamble is when I have some control over the outcome such as in poker or, in the old days, pool.

                While I was a big supporter of legalizing the lottery in my state nearly 30 years ago, I have myself spent a grand total of $13 on tickets and nothing in over 15-20 years.

                      Oh, Bernie!

                        Obama and Hillary are set to denounce Bernie as a virtual communist, which is going to sink his ship with moderates. That will leave Warren as the most likely to surface.

                          I doubt that many Democrats aren't already aware of how far left Sanders is. I mean the man picked Moscow to honeymoon in during the Cold War. It is a statement just how far to the left that the Democrats have moved that he is as popular as he is.

                              Stay home is best case scenario. I don't think they'll stay home this time. They'll become swing voters (much more than even before) out of spite.

                                given what Project Veritas found out about the bernie staffers that would be the least of what they might do.
