Protesters may be the least of the Democratic Party’s concerns in Chicago after the mother of the Biden family black sheep timed a tell-all release for the week of the convention.
A settlement may have been reached last summer in the child support payment case between Hunter Biden and his former lover Lunden Roberts, but it appeared silence from the mother of Navy Joan Roberts was no part of the deal. Tuesday, word got out that the one-time stripper and executive assistant to the scandal-ridden Biden was releasing a book on Aug. 20, the second day of the Democratic National Convention.
Titled, “Out of the Shadows: My Life Inside the Wild World of Hunter Biden,” a preview of the memoir contended the mother was “finally ready to step into the light and tell her story.”

An excerpt included with the book’s description teased salacious content as it read, “He was sitting there wearing nothing but parrot boxer briefs, organizing his pipes on his Rosemont Seneca desk. I was sitting in Barack Obama’s actual chair from the Senate floor. I took another look at Hunter — this kind, intense, and startlingly transparent man — and thought, ‘this is definitely a guy I want to get to know better.'”
During Tuesday’s White House press briefing, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was asked by Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy about the pending release.
“We learned today there is gonna be a book coming out this summer by Lunden Roberts. According to the press release, the book is about ‘protecting the long-unacknowledged grandchild of the sitting President of the United States,'” he said quoting from the description. “Do you know if President Biden has met that grandchild yet?”
Quietly, as she shook her head, the spokesperson replied, “I don’t have anything to share,” before moving on to the next question.

Little more than two months earlier, after having previously acknowledged Navy Joan in a statement, President Joe Biden was giving a Women’s History Month address when he reverted back to keeping the child out of his arithmetic as he tallied up the Biden brood.
“I see a future for all Americans, a future for my daughter and my four granddaughters — by the way, they’re incredible, you should meet my granddaughters,” he said despite having five granddaughters. “Oh, you think I’m kidding. I’m not.”
According to the court filing from late June 2023, along with an agreed-upon adjustment to child support payments from Hunter, his estranged daughter was to receive an undisclosed number of his paintings over a period of time, and, “The child shall select the painting which shall be sent to the child or sent to a gallery designated by Lunden Roberts. The net proceeds of any sales of paintings shall be wired to an account designated by Lunden Roberts.”
Meanwhile, efforts to have Navy Joan’s surname changed to Biden would cease.
As Democrats have contended with pushback from anti-Israel activists, expected to manifest outside the DNC in Chicago come August, reactions to the announced memoir included hope that the president’s granddaughter would benefit as questions about the impact on the race for the White House were debated.
I mean good for her. Hope it actually helps her get some money to raise her kid that the entire Biden family pretends doesn’t exist.

Good for her.
The settlement she got from Hunter was utter shite.
A few of his god-awful paintings and the kid can’t even use the only valuable thing Hunter owns: his last name.
