Daddy Dearest: Hunter Forced to Appear in Arkansas in Fight Over His Child's Name and Support
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
On Monday, Hunter Biden will finally make it to Arkansas. The Natural State is not a Biden family favorite but there is one thing that would ordinarily be an attraction: Biden's daughter Navy Joan. In the Biden family, the four-year-old girl remains "she who must not be named" literally. Not only has President Biden refused to refer to her as a grandchild or even include a Christmas stocking with the other children, her father Hunter is fighting to prevent her from using the Biden name. Indeed, the only reason that Hunter is coming to the same state with his daughter is to seek to limit his child support.
The viciousness of the Biden family in dealing with this little girl is only matched by that of the media. Reporters who profess to support women and denounce deadbeat dads have either ignored this story or belittled her mother, Lunden Roberts.
Roberts is widely dismissed as a "former stripper." That appears how she met Hunter, but it is often used to paint her in the same way that the media gleefully reported Hillary Clinton denouncing women involved with her husband as mere "bimbo eruptions."
The media ignores Roberts because it wants to ignore what the Bidens have done collectively. This is one single mother's story that is not considered fit to print.
Yes, Roberts was an exotic dancer. She used that job to go to one of the most expensive colleges in the country, George Washington University where I teach. When she became pregnant, she decided to have her child and raise her on her own. She has raised this child without a father and fought one of the most powerful families in the world.
When Navy Joan is older, there is every reason for her to be proud of the struggle that her mother went through in seeking a college education and raising her against all odds.
Despite Joe Biden long campaigning against deadbeat dads, his son refused to acknowledge that he was the father of Navy Joan and, after a court forced him to confirm his paternity through DNA testing, he continued to fight support for his child. Hunter's delay and evasion of filings and depositions led a court to repeatedly threaten sanctions.
However, the effort to bar this child from using the Biden name has moved this scandal from the realm of hypocrisy to monstrosity. It is hard to imagine the pain that this child will experience upon learning of how the Bidens erased any reference to her and fought even her ability to claim to be a member of their family. (Even the Biden's dogs and cats got stockings at Christmas but not their granddaughter who they have never asked to even see, let alone support).
After opposing efforts to even establish that he is her father and his continued efforts to limit child support, Hunter is telling the court that he would not want the child to bear his name for her own good and to guarantee her a "peaceful existence."
If one were to combine all of Hunter's influence peddling, drug abuse, orgies and prostitution controversies, they would not hold a candle to the utter depravity shown toward this little girl.
Despite assembling a new Legion of Doom of high-priced lawyers and advisers, Hunter is claiming that he simply cannot meet demands for child support. Given his opposition to such support for years and reported millions in foreign dealings, it would seem transparently absurd. It is even more difficult to accept as he jets between his luxurious mansion in Malibu to digs at the White House. The public reportedly pays more for his security in his mansion than he does in monthly support for his daughter.
There is, however, a crushing Karmic aspect to Hunter being forced to appear in Arkansas. His efforts to limit his child support may have backfired and could prove costly. Hunter has struggled to conceal his finances, including money that he received from alleged influence peddling. Now the court is considering the laptop as possible evidence in millions of past assets. While a U.S. Attorney in Delaware is exploring criminal charges and House committees are looking into the influence peddling, his fight against this toddler could force a decision on the authenticity of the laptop.
In the last hearing, Hunter's counsel tried again to maintain deniability.
Here is the exchange after Judge Meyer referenced Garrett Ziegle as a potential expert witness on the contents of the laptop:
Langdon: "There has never been, to my knowledge, an acknowledgment that this so-called laptop — he continuously calls it Hunter Biden's abandoned laptop …"
Meyer: "Well, let's clear that issue up right now. Is it your client's laptop or not?"
Langdon: "Your honor, I'm not involved in all of that stuff. It's not my client's laptop as far as I know."
…
Meyer: "Is it your client's position, you're representing to this court, that it is not his laptop?"
Langdon: "Your honor, I am not in a position to even begin to answer that question."
It is bizarre to continue to this obfuscation years after the release of the laptop. Hunter is facing the use of the laptop as evidence in this case as well as the federal prosecution and House investigations. Yet, his counsel is still claiming ignorance as to whether it is authentic.
It is the continuation of a long campaign of disinformation. Before the 2020 election, the media repeated the false claim that the Hunter Biden laptop was likely "Russian Disinformation." Despite the denial of American intelligence and self-verifying emails on the laptop, the media accepted without question the dubious claims of former intelligence figures organized by longtime Democratic operatives.
It worked beautifully. It was not until two years later that NPR, The New York Times, and other media outlets got around to telling the public the truth.
Hunter has long refused to acknowledge ownership of the laptop. When asked years ago by CBS News, he shrugged "There could be a laptop out there that was stolen from me. It could be that I was hacked. It could be that it was the — that it was Russian intelligence."
In some ways, it is a continuation of Hunter's long denial of his child. Yet, the DNA did not lie.
Hunter could now be forced to accept this laptop as his own. That could prove far more costly than the child support that he is seeking to avoid in Arkansas.
None of this, of course, will get Navy Joan a stocking on next year's Biden family fireplace. According to Joe Biden, she is not one of his grandchildren despite being sired by his own son. Nor will this make Hunter Biden a better person. However, if she succeeds in using the Biden name, she will certainly prove the best of the lot.

What animals the Bidens are.
[deleted]
Hunter, much like his father, is just too fucking dumb to learn anything like that.
Poor Hunter--being forced to support the child he fathered. And fighting every inch of the way!
What true family values in the Biden Family!
Seems Trump is in the positive and the hooker has had to pay 300,000 and the democrat poster child Avanati is in prison, Hunter should have stuck to abusing minor family members like dear old dad.
So sad the delusional TDS riddled leftist absolutely insist on bringing Trump into every seed.
It must really suck to think about that man 24/7....especially for those that hate him with a vengeance...but really don't know why, except that he beat queen Hillary.
Well, it is beyond obvious even they can't muster any defense for Hunter or Joe and Jill's actions regarding the child.
Thus, DEFLECT TO TRUMP AGAIN!!!!!
Hey, when Trump lives rent-free in so many heads, what else can we expect?
I often wonder if there is room for anything other than Trump in such addled brains.
Please don't insult animals that way, Vic. Animals, even vermin, take care of their own.
Must be time to cue the "I didn't vote for Hunter Biden" nonsense.
What kind of father is Joe that his son doesn't know better?
What a surprise that Joe and Jill won't acknowledge their own grandchild.
Bunch of family values folks there, eh?
They get away with anything. You see, the haters of Trump who act out on their emotions would rather have Biden and all he caused than a mean tweet!
And those are the same imbeciles that harped on and on about the previous POTUS' kids.
I know, that’s the wackadoodle part of this situation. Most just foamed at the mouth on Trump and his family. Still are.
Flaming hypocrites one and all .....
You mean the ones who successfully developed and owned their own businesses and didn't grift off their daddy's name and political influence?
Careful. They will start crying and issuing tickets for making them cry with fact and brutal honesty.
So says the guy who won't even acknowledge his own grandchild.
When he said that, I almost vomited.
Doesn’t that just mean that the child’s welfare is a federal responsibility, not Hunter’s.
Hunter Biden is a paragon of virtue.
He is proud of all his relationships and his child.
Joe Biden is a proud grandfather.
Jill Biden is a proud grandmother.
I wonder if Hunter's special 'benefactor' will step up to the plate and pay for his child support, too.
Might be interesting to see what Hunter's net worth is after all those sales of real "art" and all those gifts rained down on him by his special 'friends' that Joe never heard of.
Who’s paying his legal fees?
He's apparently too broke to support his child, yet has supposedly some of the best lawyers in the country representing him.
And has Hunter been declaring all of these 'gifts' being showered upon him because of his sterling reputation as a clean, sober, upstanding, moral citizen?
Who’s paying for his security?
Probably us.
Ding, ding, ding! We have a winner! It's embedded in Turley's article:
GoFundMe?
I wonder if Hunter tried to peddle his access to Joe to the judge.
Maybe he’ll give him one of his finger paintings.
The "Middle finger" one - of course.
Just read an article that states he pays $20K a month in support and the reason he is in court is to try to get it reduced. Says he's paid over $750K all told since he found out it was his child.
.
Hunter is protected by daddy's Secret Service, there's no way he'll show up in an Arkansas court. If the court issues a warrant for his arrest for failure to appear the Secret Service will prevent anyone from getting close enough to him to serve it.
Oh, he showed up in court.
The judge apparently wasn't too happy with either side but more so with Hunter's team.
