C'mon, man, it's just blow: Why cocaine in the White House matters
It’s the small things that "blow" the lid off corruption, incompetence, and anarchy. Nixon had tapes. Monica had the dress. A bag of coke outside The Sitch? In a sane universe, Biden would be toast.
Let me get this out of the way up top: I don’t give a jot if Joe Biden, his crackhead son Hunter, Jim Biden, Jill Biden, our giggly, stoner-sounding, word-salad Veep, or our Buddy Hackett Treasury Secretary, let alone any other Biden staffer, is snorting coke in the White House. They are such a fumbling, bumbling, preposterously inept lot, if they need Peruvian marching power to put some pep in their geriatric step, it’s the least of my worries. They are so Woke-strained dumb, I might even recommend the stuff. This is not about my being a bit puritanical about illicit drugs. I. DO. NOT. CARE.
As an intelligence officer, magician, interrogator, forensics accountant, or experienced travel writer knows, this is about what little details––like coke left in a cubby hole––reveal about larger deceptions. It’s one reason why I am such a huge fan of broken-windows policing. It gets us in the door to that bigger story.
So, what’s the bigger story here? First, corruption so insidious and Byzantine, it will make your head spin off its axis and roll down the street and explode. Second, incompetence so pervasive it is putting our nation at real risk. Third, decorum and guardrails so anarchically slipshod they beg the question: if workers are bringing blow into the White House, what else are they bringing in? Though the presence of the coke does help explain why the Biden Administration has no interest in policing our southern border.
Try to slow down for a second and think about the father-son conversations that Joe and Hunter Biden are actually having far removed from staffers, cameras, Secret Service, and other family members. They know what they did. They know with whom they did it. They know the terms. They know all of it.
In one key area of their existence, the lifeblood of their lucrative pay-to-play enterprise, they were careful. Punctilious even. There was a Cosa Nostra level of understanding between Biden family members: a code, a glance, omerta. Like Chris Christie’s underlings in Bridgegate, like Dick Cheney’s cowed intelligent operatives in the falsely and criminally sold Iraq War, certain things didn’t need to be said.
But I will say them. Hunter Biden was the bag man for the Biden family business, which was trading access, photo ops, endorsements, and possibly even policy for cash while Joe Biden was Vice President. That’s what all the little Biden Inc. details––the lost laptop, the sloppy emails about “The Big Guy,” Biden dumbly bragging about pressuring Ukraine to fire a prosecutor investigating Burisma––tell us.
The corruption happened, just as Hillary holding top-secret emails on her homebrew server happened, just as the Democratic National Committee (DNC) colluding with the Department of Justice (DOJ) to knowingly spread a DNC-concocted lie about Trump/Russia collusion happened. Just as ballot harvesting happened, just as unilateral circumvention of state election laws happened, just as the open border happened, just as DOJ collusion with Big Tech still happens. And the Republican Party and its chirpy, cheery official mouthpiece, Fox News, are so weak, lazy, and under-nuanced that nothing will happen to stop it from happening again.
Now to that baggie of cocaine hydrochloride. Where was it found? Not in the library, as the Administration, in this evolving game of Clue, first claimed. Not in an area accessible to tour groups, as the Administration then claimed. Not even in the West Wing, as some in the media falsely claimed. But in a limited-access, high-security, senior staff area of the White House called the West Executive Entrance. And that means it was right near the currently-under-reconstruction Situation Room.
What does that fact convey to China, Russia, Iran, let alone our allies? Strength? Circumspection? Competence? Just like our Treasury Secretary bowing to the Communist leader of China, it screams incompetence. It telegraphs a clueless, cavalier, devil-may-care attitude that knows that whatever goes down, the powers that be will cover for you.
So, naturally, what does a fundamentally corrupt, incompetent, loosey-goosey, deceitful, and pro-criminal Administration do when an embarrassing truth magically gets past the media, deep state, and Big Tech Praetorian Guard? They distract. We can’t discuss it because it would be a Hatch Act violation. They misdirect. The Bidens were not even in the White House on Friday. And then they feign outrage. And it’s insulting to even inquire! But hold on, Madam Press Secretary, the Bidens were at the White House until 6:34 PM on Friday, a full day when the cocaine could have been placed or misplaced, or at any other time!
“I’ll just leave it there,” concludes Karine Jean-Pierre. She knows that nobody is going to seriously look into this. That might tank the whole someone’s-in-charge charade. And then, Goddess forbid, Trump might win! Sure enough, right on cue, the Washington Post informs us that Willie Nelson smoked pot on the roof of the White House and other Administrations had illicit drugs on campus. Like, c’mon, man, it’s just a little blow.
Nice try.
Only a senior-level official or family member who would not have to go through metal detectors or past bomb-sniffing dogs could have gotten coke that close to The Situation Room. We are talking about a small coterie of staffers or, worse, workers brought in to reconstruct the Situation Room. There are cameras everywhere in the White House. Yet still we do not know who brought in the blow?
Within hours, the rabid Democrat intelligence-media-Big-Tech apparatus found the names of clueless grannies who sauntered into The People's House on January 6, 2021. But they can't tell us who left coke in a cubby hole right near where the Vice President’s limo is parked?
It’s the comparatively small things that “blow” the lid off corruption, incompetence, and anarchy. Nixon had tapes. Monica had the dress. The Niger yellowcake story was an Italian fabrication. The DOJ lied to FISA courts. And now, a bag of coke was found outside The Sitch. In a sane universe, this Administration would be toast.
