‘Hey, everybody needs a hobby’
President Joe Biden’s son Hunter may sell some of his artwork ( one painting is on the right ) for nearly half a million dollars. But a Maryland art professor said that those paintings are worth about $497,000 less than the asking price.
“How much of that value is due to the art itself? That’s easy: None of it,” Jeffry Cudlin told the Washington Examiner .
The paintings “might fetch between $850-$3,000 for a buyer,” the Washington Examiner reported. Cudlin said the art would “hang over someone’s couch.”
“They’re fine decorative amateur work,” the Maryland Institute College of Art professor said. “Hey, everybody needs a hobby!”

The sale of Biden’s art has come under criticism from a former ethics chief under President Barack Obama. The White House has arranged a deal where the details of the artwork sales can be kept mostly secret.
“The idea that they’re going to flag any overly priced offers — well, this is art that hasn’t even been juried into a community art sale,” Walter Shaub said .The […]

We Often Feel Like David Taking on Giants
Today’s Goliath is the Mainstream Media Industrial Complex that brainwashes the masses.
Our mission is very straightforward: To counter the false narratives and nefarious agendas destroying America today. It isn’t easy for obvious reasons; despite incredible growth over the last year we are still a very tiny fish in a huge media pond. But we’re fighting and we will continue to do so, Lord willing, for as long as we possibly can. The battle for America’s present and future is too important for us to back down to the giants that stand in our way.
We need help. I don’t want to say “desperately,” but the need is definitely great. If you have the means, please donate through our GivingFuel page, PayPal, or our Substack page. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
