Jen Psaki finds any question of ethics violations by President Joe Biden’s son Hunter Biden to be completely irrelevant, a non-issue, as Hunter isn’t a part of the Biden administration.  It should be pointed out that Hunter has direct continuing ties to the Chinese Communist Party through his continued ownership stake in a Chinese private equity firm.

Of course it’s totally irrelevant, and the DNC media will assure that’s what the vast majority of political casuals will believe is the case, omitting, of course, the reason for the concern in the first place, a President’s son having direct ties to a significant opponent of the United States of America, China.  But he’s not in the administration, so duh…..

Biden can’t — or won’t — even get his son to follow his ethics rules

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki got a bit snippy Monday after Newsmax correspondent Emerald Robinson asked if Hunter Biden has sold his remaining stake in a Chinese private equity firm with ties to the Chinese Communist Party.

“I’d point you to his representatives on that,” Psaki said. Hunter “doesn’t work in the administration.” When Robinson tried to follow up, the flack got short, saying: “You should talk to his representatives. That remains his policy. He’s been working to wind that down.”

Huh? No, Hunter’s not part of Joe’s administration, but he is the prez’s son, and candidate Biden swore up and down the whole family would divest from all overseas business interests. In October 2019, for example, he vowed, “No one in my family . . . will, in fact, have any business relationship with anyone that relates to a foreign corporation or a foreign country.”

It seems that both Republicans and Democrats grossly over-estimate the percentage of people who might get hospitalized as a result of a Covid-19 infection.  Democrats are 800 percent worst than Republicans as far as htting the mark, but Republicans still performed extremely porrly, to say the least.

The average percentages given for Covid-19 hospitalization have beeen between 1-5 percent.  That figure is significantly lower than what self-identifying Demorats and Republicans think the percentage is.

53$ of Democrats believe the hopsitalization rate is over 30%, while 30% of Republicans believe the hospitalization rate is 30% or higher.  Only 18% of Democrats think the hospitalization rate is within that 1-5 percent margin, while 42 percent of Republicans think the hospitalization rate is within that 1-5 percent margin.  The majority of Republicans, 63 percent, believe the hospitalization rate is 20 percent or lower, a far cry from the Democrats in error, but a far cry from accurate as well.

While polls can never tell us how people behave – on polls, even during the height of the anti-vax movement in California, they denied being anti-vaccine, they were pro-choice, and simply chose to not give more kids vaccines than the rest of the US combined – they can tell us what people believe with decent accuracy, That’s important also. A new Gallop poll says both groups believe wrongly in what COVID-19 may mean to society.

In one area, the wrongness is overwhelmingly on the side of the Democrats, by almost double. 41% of Democrats believe that 50% of unvaccinated people have been hospitalized due to COVID-19 when the real number is still under 1%. A still high yet relatively less problematic 22% of Republicans get that wrong.

Who got the right answer by a wide margin? Republicans. 16% recognize that the hospitalization rate is under 1%, an 800% better result than Democrats.
