Poor Hunter Biden. First, his meal ticket father leaves office and disappears from public view (for which blessing many of us are breathing a sigh of relief), then his California house burns up, along with a bunch of his "priceless" art. The guy just can't catch a break. - On Saturday, we learned that Hunter's woes are worsening. He was facing an uncomfortable deposition in California, but a kindly judge allowed that case to be dismissed as Hunter's too broke to continue. So now the poverty-stricken former First Son has jetted off to Cape Town, South Africa, accompanied by his Secret Service retinue, to suffer from his poverty in a $500/night beachfront villa. -Well, that doesn't sound so bad. After all, it looks like Hunter's Ukrainian options are out, so a luxury beachfront hotel in South Africa may be the next best thing. As it turns out, Hunter has been gifted some unusual legal foresight, as he headed out to South Africa before his case was even dismissed. - Shopping, too? What's next? And why does the ne'er-do-well son of a former president have Secret Service protection? - The scandal-prone 55-year-old son of Joe Biden does not qualify for statutory Secret Service protection, which only applies to former presidents’ children aged under 16, per the Former Presidents Protection Act (codified in 18 USC, Section 3056). But Biden issued an executive memorandum before he left the presidency indefinitely extending Secret Service protection for his son, according to Trump administration sources. - https://redstate.com/wardclark/2025/03/15/hunter-biden-beset-by-legal-woes-flees-to-south-africa-n2186704
