Hunter Biden appeared in a northeast Arkansas courtroom for a child support hearing on Monday morning.
You’ll be excused for not being aware of it.
After all, most of the mainstream media – and worst of all, the president of the United States – have done their best to ignore it. But frankly, it’s a long-running national disgrace.
Allow me to explain.
Last week, ironically, at a White House ‘Take your child to work day’ event, Biden was asked how many grandchildren he has.
It’s a question only an innocent kid would ask of the most powerful man in the world.
Biden’s answer was appalling.
He told the crowd of sweet, trusting, naive kids that he has six grandchildren. But that is a flat lie. Joe Biden has seven grandchildren.
The human being that goes without mention is Navy Joan Roberts – Hunter’s four-year-old daughter. She’s persona non grata in the White House.
Hunter and an Arkansas woman named Lunden Alexis Roberts are Navy’s parents.
Biden told the crowd of sweet, trusting, naive kids that he has six grandchildren. But that is a flat lie. Joe Biden has seven grandchildren.
The human being that goes without mention is Navy Joan Roberts (above) – the four-year-old daughter of Hunter Biden. She’s a persona non grata in the White House.
Navy was reportedly conceived in a relationship that occurred while Hunter was still involved with his brother Beau’s widow, Hallie Biden. Ms. Roberts gave birth to Navy in August 2018.
Subsequently, Hunter denied paternity of the child, but a 2019 DNA test reportedly proved otherwise and has since gone uncontested. In 2020, Hunter reportedly settled with Roberts for $2.5 million.
If that was the end of the story, it would be bad enough, but it’s not. This horrible, sordid drama rolls on.
Unbelievably, Hunter has attempted to reduce his child support payments to Ms. Roberts – claiming ‘a substantial material change in (his) financial circumstances’ since the 2020 settlement.
Did you get that?
Poor Hunter just can’t afford it.
This is the same Hunter, who just recently returned from a whirlwind trip to Ireland with his dear old dad. The White House says Hunter ‘paid for [his] way.’ And I don’t doubt it. But how much does a seat on Air Force One cost?
This is the same Hunter who sells his rather crappy artwork for up to $500,000 a pop to anonymous buyers.
The same guy who is reportedly bankrolled by Hollywood entertainment lawyer Kevin Morris who’s said to have paid off more than $2 million in Hunter’s delinquent taxes; whose daughter Naomi enjoyed a lavish wedding at the White House; who reportedly received a $2 million dollar advance on his memoir and is now considering another book; who reportedly lives in a rented $20,000 a month Malibu mansion and enjoys a taxpayer-funded security detail which rents out a $30,000 a month home nearby.
Of course, the president’s family deserves protection, but could it possibly be true that Hunter is claiming financial difficulty?
Well, it’s true. And it gets worse.
In his memoir ‘Beautiful Things,’ the recovering crack addict claimed he refused to accept that Navy was his daughter because in his drug-induced haze of sexual ‘rampages’ he had ‘no recollection’ of his intimate relationship with Ms. Roberts.
As is the case with Hunter that’s likely not the whole story.
Text messages, exclusively reported by DailyMail.com, reveal that Ms. Roberts and Hunter had more than a passing acquaintance. She was apparently on the payroll of Hunter’s shuttered financial firm, Rosemont Seneca, according to the texts.
Ms. Roberts also appears to have texted Hunter multiple times pleading to speak with him.
‘Reached out a few times, it’s clear you don’t want to be reached. Need to talk to you. If you feel the need to reach out, my line is always open. Hope all is well,’ she wrote four times, while she was pregnant.
All four times she got no response.
Hunter, however, did ask his assistant in December 2018 – after the baby was born – to inform him who was on the company’s insurance plan. He was told that ‘Lunden’ had been removed.
And now since Navy’s birth, according to court filings, Hunter ‘has never seen or contacted’ the child and could not pick her out of a photo lineup.
What a guy!
Look, who knows what Hunter was aware of in the depths of his addiction. But at least, there’s very good reason to doubt the explanation that he’s put forward so far.

But if there’s anything that the Washington press corp and the Democratic Party are good for – it’s giving Joe and Hunter a pass.
They’ve known about Navy for some time and turned a blind eye. Most reporters didn’t have anything to say when the Biden Family hung Christmas stockings in our White House, displaying all of our president’s grandchildren – except one.
It is all, sadly, very Maury Povich. Something one would expect from a trashy daytime television show and not the family residing in 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
The gutting tragedy of all of this is that a sinless child is the victim. But instead the 53-year-old toddler that is Hunter Biden is the one who gets all the protection.
Why can’t the president acknowledge her? Doesn’t he know that America would embrace her with open arms?
You’d think that a Democratic party that claims to care for the most vulnerable among us would be outraged about a Democratic president denying the existence of a child.
But they’re not.
It’s actually quite typical for progressives to rend their clothes over the plight of anonymous marginalized masses, but when it comes to the people in front of their eyes – there’s very little humanity.
This is a pattern.
Monica Lewinsky, Paula Jones, Jennifer Flowers were notoriously dismissed as ‘bimbo eruptions’ by Bill Clinton’s presidential campaign.
Hillary Clinton was an enabler of her husband’s prodigious infidelity.
In an ABC News interview, Hillary called Flowers ‘some failed cabaret singer who doesn’t even have much of a résumé to fall back on.’
Hunter and an Arkansas woman named Lunden Alexis Roberts are Navy’s parents.
In 1992, she told Esquire magazine if she had ever cross-examined Flowers, she would, ‘crucify her.’ (Bill Clinton eventually admitted having a sexual relationship with Flowers)
The treatment of Lunden Roberts is not all that different.
While it’s typically reported that she worked as an exotic dancer in Washington DC, it’s less often noted that she used the job to pay for her tuition at George Washington University.
And to those who try to excuse this blatantly shameful behavior and say: What else do we expect the White House to do?
I say: They should have some decency.
It’s not without precedent.
Democratic Vice-Presidential nominee John had an affair with his campaign videographer, Rielle Hunter, and together they had a child named Quinn.
At the time, his wife, Elizabeth Edwards was battling breast cancer that eventually killed her. But before Elizabeth died, she met John’s child.
Elizabeth’s sister told People Magazine in 2010, ‘She gave it a lot of thought, wrapped up a bunch of Christmas presents, took them to the baby and was so pleased when Quinn made a beeline to the toy carriage and doll.’
For his part, John Edwards is also reportedly a part of Quinn’s life.
‘I view him as family. I mean, he’s family. I absolutely love him,’ Rielle Hunter told ABC News in 2016. ‘We have the same goals. We want the best for Quinn.’

But the Bidens have taken a different path.
Let me ask you a question, Mr President.
How can you heal a nation if you can’t acknowledge the life of your own grandchild?
This is yet another example of Biden’s fraying of authenticity. On a very personal level, I feel that he’s no longer the man that I used to know.
He positions himself as compassionate, but everything is packaged in lies, including his false invocations of Beau Biden’s death as being that of a war hero.
Yes, Beau bravely served his nation. But he did not die in far-flung Iraq, as the president has claimed. Beau died surrounded by loving family and friends.
America certainly can’t look to the mainstream media to make these observations. So, it’s up to the American people to demand that this is not ignored.
On the 2024 campaign trail, Joe Biden should be asked, at every event: How many grandchildren do you have? Can anyone honestly say that President Trump or President Bush would be treated any different?
I can’t accept that our nation is so far gone that we don’t demand our president speak the name of his innocent grandchild.
