GOP PUTS SPOTLIGHT ON THE BIDENS:  Control of the House will give the Republicans new power to investigate, and investigate they will.  The public seems to be behind them.  From Daily Mail: 

Plans for Republicans to investigate Hunter Biden's foreign business interests meet with the approval of some 62 percent of likely U.S. voters, according to a poll published on Monday.

The telephone and online survey by Rasmussen Reports for Miranda Devine, a columnist and author of 'Laptop from Hell' about Biden's computer, found some 42 percent strongly approved of a likely House G.O.P. probe into his overseas deals.

Many Republicans promised investigations of the president's son and his business dealings during the midterm election campaign, in which they took control of the lower chamber.

And Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), who is in expected to chair the House Judiciary Committee, and Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.), in line to take over the Oversight Committee, recently held a news conference laying out their plans for probes. 

The president has long denied any knowledge of his son's foreign dealings - some of which are being investigated by federal authorities. 

But the survey of 1,000 likely U.S. voters on November 22 found that such claims did not get far with the public.

Some 61 percent of voters said they believed it was likely – including 44 percent who said it was 'very likely' – that Joe Biden was at least consulted on his son's business deals and might even have profited.  

The poll found that the public are closely following reports about the president's son

But as might be expected, respondents split along party lines — particularly when the stories go beyond business deals and cover Hunter Biden's laptop.

Eighty-six percent of Republicans think the story about Hunter Biden's abandoned laptop is important, but 56 percent of Democrats say it’s not important. 

Among unaffiliated voters, 62 percent think the laptop story is important and 33 percent believe it is not important. 

Overall, 63 percent of voters believe the story of Hunter's laptop is important, including 41 percent who think it is 'very important.'

COMMENT:  This can't be good for the president, for any exposure of wrongdoing will be magnified because he intends to run again.

We will not have a politically calm 2023.  Besides these new probes, candidates will launch their 2024 presidential campaigns.  And the international situation seems more explosive by the day. 

And Kamala Harris is still one heartbeat away from controlling the nuclear codes.

Any of you have an ideas for having fun?
