Lunden Roberts, the mother of Hunter Biden’s daughter Navy Joan Roberts, told British host Piers Morgan on Thursday that President Joe Biden has never contacted his granddaughter. Roberts formerly worked as Hunter’s assistant and has spoken out about dealing with him following their child’s birth in 2018, noting both the president and his son’s efforts to distance themselves from Navy. Roberts on “Piers Morgan Uncensored” said neither the president nor his son has ever met Navy in person and that the elder Biden has never even reached out to his granddaughter. “Have you ever heard from either President Biden or the first lady directly?” Morgan asked. “No. No, I have not,” Roberts answered. Morgan followed up by asking if she thinks that’s “surprising,” with Roberts answering she does not. Roberts also told Morgan that Hunter has never met his daughter “in person.” “Hunter’s relationship with his daughter has been built through Zoom,” she said. “He was required to call once a month or something like that. Navy gets to pick out one of his paintings, and that’s how they would start building a relationship. However, Hunter went above and beyond. He not only called her once a month, but once they started building a relationship, he wanted to call weekly or sometimes a couple of times a week just to talk to her. When she goes into surgery, he wants to Zoom and talk to her. He calls to check on her at different times and things like that. He has gone above what the time frame required and has done that for her, which I appreciate tremendously.” Morgan asked if there are any plans in place for them to meet in person. “Yeah, I’m sure,” Roberts answered. “Me and Hunter haven’t worked the details out with that. But, I mean, like, the world knows. Hunter has a lot on his plate right now. I think that that needs to be his main focus, and getting through this time and then the rest can come after. Navy is well aware. She knows that her father’s very busy right now, and he’s got a lot of things going on and she’s waited five years; she can wait a couple more months.” Roberts and Hunter resolved their child support dispute in June 2023 and the Biden family finally acknowledged Navy in July 2023. Roberts told Morgan that the “door is always open” for the president to meet his granddaughter and it “always will be.” Hunter gave his daughter some of his paintings and he paid Roberts’ legal fees. She unsuccessfully attempted to grant her daughter the Biden last name as part of their child support dispute. Hunter’s federal gun trial began Monday and he is facing three charges brought by special counsel David Weiss in September, which include providing false statements and knowingly possessing a gun while being addicted to drugs.

POTATUS Isn't the Only Case of Gastro-Intestinal Upset in Europe: It's EU Election Day!

The latest Twitter Files expose how a social media movement promoting an exodus from the Democratic party was falsely labeled as Russian propaganda and censored. Actor Brandon Straka founded the “#Walkaway” online movement for Democrats looking to leave their party, but the movement was “set up” to be censored and smeared by biased groups, Big Tech, and the U.S. government, according to Twitter Files journalist Matt Taibbi. Facebook deleted the 500,000-strong group in January 2021, but the Twitter Files exposed “federal interest” in the group, Taibbi noted. Falsely linked to Russian bot activity, Straka was targeted by the U.S. government and Big Tech. Straka’s first video went viral in May 2018 and, a month later, he had 16,000 Facebook members and scheduled interviews with such big names as Tucker Carlson, Taibbi posted.  New Knowledge, however, a firm staffed byformer National Security Agency officials who scrounged for Russian-linked posts and accounts, labeled Straka’s movement as a group of “domestic extremists” tied to “foreign actors.” The firm cited the infamous Hamilton 68 dashboard which has since been exposed for wrongly labeling ordinary accounts, particularlypro-Trump accounts, as having Russian links.  New Knowledge identified that some of those using #walkaway and participating in the campaign were not real people but rather fake accounts that used Shutterstock images as their profile photos. Straka, shocked, personally denounced the fake accounts as bots; Twitter analysts, however, verified most of those participating in the campaign as real users.  Unfortunately, the media and the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI) of which Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) was a ranking member, picked up on the bad press of Russian amplification for Walkaway, Taibbi added. The fake users’ posting and using “#Walkaway” appeared to have spiked right after the movement was accused of being amplified by Russian accounts, Taibbi explained. Twitter could have provided evidence to undermine the Russian amplification accusation, but chose not to, Taibbi noted.  Some Twitter employees sought to tell Congress about the Russia hoax, but top executives saw it as a “public relations boon” for government officials and private entities alike, Taibbi continued. The advisory council for the think tank that funded Hamilton 68, Alliance Securing Democracy (ASD), included “former heads or deputy heads of the CIA, NSA, and DHS, John Podesta, and future Biden security chief Jake Sullivan,” per Taibbi.  ASD and Schiff’s Congressional committee were so fixated on Hamilton 68 that even Twitter executive Yoel Roth lost patience. “This feels like we’re continuing to give Hamilton68 too much ground on the issue… almost like we’re acknowledging that there’s something to it,” Roth said according to a screenshot Taibbi shared.  Hamilton 68’s accusation against #Walkaway created a media smear campaign, and the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) sent Twitter a spreadsheet of 38,000 supposedly fake accounts, Taibbi posted. Walkaway was labeled an attempt by Russian President Putin to influence Americans, not long before the sources for the accusation were mired in scandal. Yet the accusors’ complete lack of credibility never led to retractions or apologies to Straka’s group. “Straka would go on to be arrested for being outside the Capitol on January 6th. To some, this will always mean CNN, Steven Colbert, and others were entitled to lie about him,” Taibbi concluded. “But make no mistake: the Russia and bot accusations were a fraud, and they're owed a correction.” Conservatives are under attack. Contact your representatives and demand that Big Tech be held to account to mirror the First Amendment while providing transparency, clarity on so-called “hate speech” and equal footing for conservatives. If you have been censored, contact us using MRC Free Speech America’s contact form, and help us hold Big Tech accountable.

Some members of the 5th Congressional District of Virginia Republican Committee have joined together in an open letter urging former President Donald Trump to reconsider his decision to endorse state Sen. John McGuire, who is challenging incumbent U.S. Rep. Bob Good in the Republican primary."We the undersigned leaders of the 5th District Republican Congressional Committee strongly urge President Donald Trump to reconsider his endorsement of Congressman Bob Good’s opponent in the Republican Primary," the letter declares. "We hope President Trump reconsiders his ill-advised endorsement and stands with the Grassroots America First supporters of Congressman Bob Good."'Bob Good is BAD FOR VIRGINIA, AND BAD FOR THE USA.'They warned that "the endorsement may, in fact, hurt the strong support of conservatives for President Trump in the Fighting 5th that he will need in November."Good is the chair of the House Freedom Caucus. He endorsed Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis for president last year before DeSantis launched an ultimately unsuccessful presidential primary bid. But immediately after DeSantis dropped out and backed Trump in January, Good endorsed Trump.Trump has attacked Good and backed McGuire."Bob Good is BAD FOR VIRGINIA, AND BAD FOR THE USA. He turned his back on our incredible movement, and was constantly attacking and fighting me until recently, when he gave a warm and 'loving' Endorsement - But really, it was too late. The damage had been done! I just want to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, and the person that can most help me do that is Navy Seal and highly respected State Legislator, John McGuire, a true American Hero," Trump claimed.GOP Sen. Mike Lee of Utah has described Good as "an exceptionally rare and valuable statesman—one who’s willing fight and sacrifice for the good of our country."Like Blaze News?

There’s a lot of talk about how AI will overthrow humanity. Whether you believe in the doom and gloom of AI and robots or not, there’s been a lot of cool and a lot of terrifying developments in robotics and artificial intelligence in recent years. I’m not quite sure where this latest development falls, though, as it shows the first AI butlers cleaning up a home while working together. Is this the first step to the AI apocalypse? You be the judge. The new robot butlers are part of 1X’s latest Eve lineup, and they’re a group of humanoid robots that can be controlled via voice. What’s most impressive about this demo is that the robots all seem to be working together—1X says up to 15 can work together at one time. 1X says the first AI butlers fun of a “voice-controlled natural language interface.” This essentially lets you chain commands together, creating a more useful approach for controlling the robots than just giving them one task at a time. This means that the Eve robots can understand complex goals with multiple steps—an impressive feat as many robots right now are tied to simple commands and goals. https://youtu.be/bzn9O37fRMQ?si=as8GWmh2CLfh9Dyl All of the robots come in at six feet and two inches and can run for up to six hours. They can move at speeds up to nine miles per hour and can carry a maximum weight of 33 pounds. You can also control Eve remotely, thanks to a neural network system similar to what Tesla uses for its various electric vehicles. Of course, 1X isn’t stopping there. The company also has plans to improve its first AI butlers to include support for vision language models. This means providing more fluidity and autonomy to the robots. That’s where things might start to get scary for some folks, as autonomy means the robots will have some semblance of control over themselves. 1X is also working on another robot called Neo, which looks slightly more approachable than Eve. still, these humanoid robots are far from human-looking, despite the way their bodies are shaped. These designs are still a far-cry from those like China’s rifle-toting robot dog, though, so it will be interesting to see how they advance going forward.
