Actor John Schneider is best known for playing the role of Bo Duke on the TV series “The Dukes of Hazzard,” which ran on CBS from 1979 to 1985.
But Schneider may soon be getting a visit from the FBI and Secret Service for a posting me made on Twitter in response to a tweet from President Joe Biden in which he called for Biden to be “publicly hung” along with his son, Hunter.
The president’s tweet was about failed former president Donald Trump.
” Trump poses many threats to our country: The right to choose, civil rights, voting rights, and America’s standing in the world.”
“But the greatest threat he poses is to our democracy. If we lose that, we lose everything,”
That led Schneider to reply:
“Mr. President, I believe you are guilty of treason and should be publicly hung. Your son too. Your response is..? Sincerely, John Schneider.”
Schneider has now deleted the tweet, but not before many social media users took screenshots of his disgusting threat against the Bidens.
If there’s any justice in the world, the washed-up actor will wind up even more irrelevant than he already is.
House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) has been saying for months that President Joe Biden and his son, Hunter, have been engaged in financial crimes involving shell companies used to allegedly funnel foreign contributions to the Biden family, which means the president is guilty of high crimes and misdemeanors, and that warrants impeachment and removal from office.
On Wednesday, Comer got what he wanted in the form of a vote from his GOP colleagues to formally open an impeachment inquiry of President Biden.
However, it now appears that Comer has been engaged in the very same behavior he says is proof of illegality by the Bidens, according to an explosive report from The Associated Press.
But as Comer works to “deliver the transparency and accountability that the American people demand” through the GOP’s investigation, his own finances and relationships have begun to draw notice, too, including his ties to prominent local figures who have complicated pasts not all that dissimilar to some of those caught up in his Biden probe.
At issue are six acres of land owned by Comer and his wife which are also co-owned via a shell company by a large contributor to Comer’s campaign, which certainly appears to be a serious conflict of interest.
The AP found that Farm Team Properties functions in a similarly opaque way as the companies used by the Bidens, masking his stake in the land that he co-owns with the donor from being revealed on his financial disclosure forms. Those records describe Farm Team Properties as his wife’s “land management and real estate speculation” company without providing further details.
It’s not clear why Comer decided to put those six acres in a shell company, or what other assets Farm Team Properties may hold. On his most recent financial disclosure forms, Comer lists its value as being as much as $1 million, a substantial sum but a fraction of his overall wealth.
Comer is certainly sensitive about his own shell company and loans he’s made to family members, as was in evidence in November when Rep. Jared Moskowitz (D-FL) accused the chairman of potential wrongdoing and also called him out for his hypocrisy.
“I think you owe it to the American people to explain why you’ve gone on Fox News and told people that while the president was out of office, he had a loan with his brother,” Moskowitz said, despite that “it has come out in the public that you also do business with your brother with potential loans.”
An enraged Comer replied that he’d done nothing wrong and also called Moskowitz a “Smurf” simply because the Florida Democrat happened to be wearing a blue suit at the time.
If Comer continues to push for impeaching Biden, he can likely expect that referrals will be made to the House Ethics Committee referencing the shell company he owns with the donor to his campaign. Though the action may not be illegal, it certainly raises questions about what Comer may be hiding and whether or not he’s using the Biden family as a smokescreen for his own shady business deals.
In other words, karma is coming for James Comer, and when it arrives, it’s going to take a giant bite out of him.
Things got incredibly uncomfortable for Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) during a press conference that was hastily called by House Republicans after Hunter Biden refused to testify before a committee despite being subpoenaed to do so.
Biden said he would testify, but only in public session, an offer which was refused by members of the GOP.
After Rep. James Comer (R-KY) told reporters that a loan repayment from Hunter Biden to his father, President Joe Biden, appeared less-than-kosher, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) raised the issue of sexual trafficking by the president’s son.
“I would like to have asked Hunter Biden about… sex trafficking women across state lines!” Greene insisted.
Jordan, who appeared shaken by Greene’s remarks, immediately ended the press conference.
“Thank you very much,” he said as he turned and walked away.
Greene continued to speak in Jordan’s direction: “That would have been a good question but you don’t seem to care about that!”

Rep. James Comer (R-KY), chairman of the House Oversight Committee, is furious that the Justice Department decided to indict Hunter Biden, son of President Joe Biden, on three gun charges, and he made it clear when asked about the indictment that he’s most upset that DOJ charged Hunter Biden with a crime he cannot tie the president to.
Months ago, Comer was among those who complained Hunter Biden was getting a “sweetheart deal” with the Justice Department before that deal wound up falling apart.
That led a reporter to ask the congressman, “Sounds like you are still expressing skepticism. I mean, the idea that you wanted an indictment. From your perspective here, that’s not enough?”
Comer replied, “You have never heard me say anything about gun charges. Again, that’s the one crime he’s committed that you cannot tie to Joe Biden.”
Doesn’t the indictment prove that Special Counsel David Weiss did the right thing and wasn’t “politicized?”
The Kentucky Republican replied, “Well, I don’t know. We’ll see. That was an easy charge. So, I’m still holding out hope that Weiss does the right thing. This is — again — the least of all the dozen crimes he’s committed, the one charge, the one crime that Joe Biden wasn’t involved.”
Comer later issued a statement which he posted on social media. It reads:
“Today’s charges against Hunter Biden are a very small start, but unless U.S. Attorney Weiss investigates everyone involved in the fraud schemes and influence peddling, it will be clear President Biden’s DOJ is protecting Hunter Biden and the big guy.”
🚨STATEMENT🚨
Today’s charges against Hunter Biden are a very small start, but unless U.S. Attorney Weiss investigates everyone involved in the fraud schemes and influence peddling, it will be clear President Biden’s DOJ is protecting Hunter Biden and the big guy.
Translation: Comer has no case and now he has no leverage over Hunter Biden. Matter of fact, he probably cannot subpoena the president’s son because his attorneys won’t allow him to testify before Congress.
Of course, Comer never had any evidence of wrongdoing by the president, but now he has absolutely nothing. He has no proof of anything and he can’t use Hunter Biden as a designated whipping boy.
Attorney Abbe Lowell has sent letters asking the Treasury Department’s inspector general to determine how members of Congress loyal to failed former president Donald Trump gained access to reports of Biden’s alleged “suspicious activity” and calling for a full review of Greene by the Office of Congressional Ethics.
“We write to request the Office of Congressional Ethics initiate a review of and take appropriate action as a result of Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene’s (R-GA 14th C.D.) suspected violations of House Ethics rules and standards of official conduct,” Lowell wrote. “Representative Greene’s unethical conduct arises from her continuous verbal attacks, defamatory statements, publication of personal photos and data, and promotion of conspiracy theories about and against Robert Hunter Biden. None of these could possibly be deemed to be part of any legitimate legislative activity, as is clear from both the content of her statements and actions, and the forums she uses to spew her often unhinged rhetoric.”
Lowell also referenced numerous false and defamatory statements made by Greene about Hunter Biden.
“Since her election to Congress in 2020 (and before), Representative Greene has engaged in steady, dogged verbal and defamatory attacks against Mr. Biden, and members of his family. Her online statements and public appearances are neither legislative drafting, nor oversight, nor real congressional business — they are a spray of shotgun pellets of personal vitriol that are the definition of conduct that does not reflect ‘creditably on the House.’ Her actions are not merely the expression of political views or private ‘free speech’ because she uses her official position to disseminate them and often expresses them in official proceedings.”
Additionally, Lowell notes, “Perhaps Representative Greene is beyond conducting herself properly. Many have so concluded. However, the House has a duty to make loud and clear that it does not endorse, condone, or agree with her outrageous, undignified rhetoric and brazen violations of the standards of official conduct that do not reflect creditably on the House of Representatives.”
Greene and other extreme right-wing members of the House Republican caucus have made specious claims about President Joe Biden and members of his family, but have yet to produce a shred of evidence proving any illegal actions.
The reason for the repeated GOP attacks on the Biden family is simple: It’s payback for the two impeachments of failed former president Donald Trump. He is the only president in U.S. history to ever be impeached twice.
