Joe Biden Stoked About Tiger Woods Performance at The Open
Joe Biden was a rock star in Hollywood Saturday night, but the star that rocks his world — at least right now — is Tiger Woods. We got Joe in WeHo leaving Craig’s restaurant, and he was playing his cards close to the vest on all things politics…

Joe Biden vs. Donald Trump: Who Will Win Their Fight?
DING! DING! DING!
It is apparently about to be on between Joe Biden and Donald Trump.
We don’t mean this metaphorically or figuratively, either… the politicians may actually come to physical blows!
The long-time rivalry between the ex-Vice President and current President was ratcheted up several notches on Wednesday when Biden spoke at the University of Miami.
Referencing certain comments Trump made on Access Hollywood back in 2005 about grabbing women by their private parts, Biden said the following about the Commander-in-Chief and how he treats the opposite sex:
“If we were in high school, I’d take him behind the gym and beat the hell out of him.”
Biden, who may very well run against Trump for President in 2020, also said any man who disrespected women was “usually the fattest, ugliest S.O.B. in the room.”
In response to these remarks, Trump took the high road and simply met with his economic advisors in order to figure out a way to balance income inequality in America.
Just kidding.
He instead jumped on Twitter, gave Biden a nickname and issued the Democrat a warning:
Crazy Joe Biden is trying to act like a tough guy. Actually, he is weak, both mentally and physically, and yet he threatens me, for the second time, with physical assault.
He doesn’t know me, but he would go down fast and hard, crying all the way. Don’t threaten people Joe!
This is all a little silly and a tad immature, coming from two grown men.
But the possibility of Biden and Trump fighting is especially silly when you consider the former is 75 years old and the latter is 71 years old.
Trump was the oldest person ever elected to the Oval Office and, if Biden succeeds him in two-plus years, he’ll go ahead and take over that distinction.
Any actual fisticuffs between the senior citizens would leave all witnesses in tears; either from laughter or sadness that America has actually come to this.
Still, it’s hard not to wonder just who would win a fight between Biden and Trump, isn’t it?
Biden has been through nearly everything throughout his decades-long tenure as a Senator and Vice President, especially when it comes to a tragic personal life.
He lost a wife and a young child many years ago in a car accident.
In May of 2015, he then lost his son Beau to brain cancer.
The Delaware native has become known for speaking from his heart and for wearing his emotion on his sleeve.
If push came to legitimate shove, it’s easy to envision a passionate Biden cracking his knuckles and swinging away wildly, taking out every ounce of his anger and pain on Trump’s face.
The Donald, meanwhile, is rich and spoiled and hides behind threats of a lawsuit any time he doesn’t like someone.
He’s currently facing various lawsuits from women and allegations from women that he either assaulted them or slept with them behind his wife’s back.
He may be a little distracted at the moment by these scandals, meaning he may not dedicate as much time to training as Biden, who doesn’t technically have a job right now.
Trump’s diet also consists of fried chicken, Diet Coke and really well done steak with ketchup.
Is he really in fighting shape?
We’ll let you be the judge of this, and of the overarching question being debated around the Internet right now.

Hunter Biden and Ex-Wife List D.C. Home After Divorce, Obama Remnants Remain (PHOTO GALLERY)
Hunter Biden and his ex-wife, Kathleen, are tying up one major loose end in their divorce by selling off their D.C. home. Hunter and Kathleen have listed their 6 bed, 4 story Colonial for $ 1.85 million — which sounds about right … it’s a nice,…

Kathleen Biden: Hunter Biden is a Cheating Drug User Who Steals Money From Me!
Former Vice President Joe Biden’s son Hunter Biden’s alleged drug use and infidelity was, in part, what led to the end of his marriage.
That’s according to his estranged wife Kathleen, to whom he is still married … while dating his late brother Beau’s widow Hallie Biden.
Kathleen filed a new motion in D.C. Superior Court on February 23, just one week before Hunter and Hallie’s relationship went public.
Hallie and Hunter confirmed they are dating in a statement.
Not happy about that for a variety of reasons, Kathleen claims that her husband has behaved in a manner unbecoming of him – financially.
Hunter, she says, has “created financial concerns for the family by spending extravagantly on his own interests” during their separation.
Those interests include “drugs, alcohol, prostitutes, strip clubs, and gifts for women with whom he has sexual relations,” she alleges.
She also claims that the family (the couple share three children) has no funds to pay their bills because of Hunter’s continued spending.
Kathleen further claims in court papers that Hunter instructed his office to reduce the monthly funds she received by nearly $ 10,000.
That was in October, allegedly, but even after he had curtailed his payments to her, he “secretly continued to spend lavishly.”
All the while, “complaining to Ms. Biden, through counsel, about the financial issues of the family and Ms. Biden’s spending.”
Kathleen goes on to claim in documents that Hunter had $ 122,179 of their marital income transferred into his personal bank account.
The money was gone, she says, in “less than two months.”
She claims that the family has maxed out its credit cards, owes numerous outstanding bills, and has incurred a tax debt of at least $ 313,970.
She is requesting Hunter be provided only a $ 5,000 a month allowance, and that she be given $ 20,000 a month, according to reports.
Hunter Biden’s attorney responded, “Hunter and Kathleen have been separated for some time and are in the process of finalizing a divorce.”
“Hunter loves and admires Kathleen as a person, a mother, and a friend. He hopes their privacy can be respected at this time.”
The couple married in July 1993 and separated not long after Beau Biden (above) died in 2015 following a battle with brain cancer.
This week, Hunter announced that he and Beau’s widow, Hallie, have become involved in a romantic relationship of their own.
“Hallie and I are incredibly lucky to have found the love and support we have for each other in such a difficult time,” he said.
“That’s been obvious to the people who love us most. We’ve been so lucky to have family and friends who have supported us every step of the way.”
The former Vice President and wife Dr. Jill Biden also said in a statement that they are aware of the relationship and support it.
“We are all lucky that Hunter and Hallie found each other as they were putting their lives together again after such sadness.”
“They have mine and Jill’s full and complete support and we are happy for them,” Joe and Jill said of their son and daughter-in-law.
Beau Biden died of brain cancer in May 2015, a fact that is believed to have led to the decision of Joe Biden not running for President.
Hunter and Kathleen split in October of that year, five months after Beau died. They have three daughters, Naomi, Finnegan and Maisy.
Beau, the former attorney general of Delaware, and Hallie have two children, a daughter Natalie and, confusingly, a son Hunter.

Hallie Biden, Widow of Beau Biden, is Dating Brother-in-Law
For the record, we are not passing judgment on anyone involved in the following article.
We’re simply relaying details of a story that is trending online and which may be of interest to our readers.
And that story is this:
Hallie Biden, the widow of Joe Biden’s late son Beau Biden, has started a romance with Beau’s brother Hunter Biden, the former vice president’s younger son.
Hallie and Hunter, of course, were brother-in-law and sister-in-law when Beau was still alive.
The 46-year old tragically died of brain cancer in 2015.
Hunter, who is pictured below, shares three daughters with estranged wife Kathleen. The two have been separated for awhile.
In a statement to Page Six on Wednesday, Hunter acknowledged the relationship and said the following:
“Hallie and I are incredibly lucky to have found the love and support we have for each other in such a difficult time, and that’s been obvious to the people who love us most.
“We’ve been so lucky to have family and friends who have supported us every step of the way.”
Former Vice President Biden has also confirmed the relationship to The New York Post, saying that he and his wife, Dr. Jill Biden, have given their blessing to the Hallie and Hunter.
“We are all lucky that Hunter and Hallie found each other as they were putting their lives together again after such sadness,” the Bidens said, adding:
“They have mine and Jill’s full and complete support and we are happy for them.”
Hunter is an attorney; he and Kathleen got married in 2002 and separated in October 2015, five months after former Delaware attorney general Beau’s death.
Beau and Hallie have two children, a daughter named Natalie and a son actually named Hunter.
Kathleen, meanwhile, who serves as the chairwoman of the Washington, DC-based Eleanor Roosevelt Dialogue, has not yet commented on the situation.
As for Hunter Biden, a few tidbits of note:
- He was discharged from the U.S Navy Reserve in 2014 after testing positive for cocaine.
- His mother, Neilia Hunter, and younger sister, Naomi Biden, were killed in a car accident in 1972. Hunter and his brother Beau survived the crash, but were seriously injured.
- He earned a bachelor’s degree from Georgetown University and a Juris Doctor from Yale Law School.
We wish Haille and Hunter happiness in their relationship.
Does this seem like an awkward and less-than-ideal situation? Yes.
But we have no idea what it feels like to lose a brother and/or a husband.
If these two found comfort in each other and that comfort led them to this place, who are we to judge?

Joe Biden Sends Letter to Brock Turner Rape Victim
Joe Biden has a few things to say when it comes to the Brock Turner rape case.
And those things are all directed at the woman this former Stanford University student assaulted last year.
As previously reported in detail, Turner was convicted in March on three felony counts of sexual assault.
But the case went viral last week after the judge sentenced Turner to a mere six months in county jail, despite guidelines permitting a punishment as harsh as 14 years in state prison.
Prosecutors had argued for six years.
The Internet has been in a collective outrage over the judge’s decision, spurred on by the victim’s moving statement.
She stood up in court after the sentencing was announced and read a letter that outlined the effects this rape has had on her over the past 18 months.
It’s well worth your time to listen to read aloud by a CNN anchor below:
Turner himself has also issued a revolting statement, almost painting himself as a victim of the “binge drinking” culture in college.
But now the Vice President of the United States has stepped in to address the true victim in this situation.
“I do not know your name – but your words are forever seared on my soul. Words that should be required reading for men and women of all ages,” Biden’s letter reads.
It goes on:
I am in awe of your courage for speaking out – for so clearly naming the wrongs that were done to you and so passionately asserting your equal claim to human dignity.
And I am filled with furious anger. Both that this happened to you and that our culture is still so broken that you were ever put in the position of defending your own worth.
It’s true.
The judge who handed out such a lenient sentence to Turner said he feared anything worse would have a negative “impact” on the young man. Yes, he really said this about a rapist.
“The statistics on college sexual assault haven’t gone down in the past two decades. It’s obscene, and it’s a failure that lies at all our feet,” Biden adds.
“And you were failed by anyone who dared to question this one clear and simple truth: Sex without consent is rape. Period. It is a crime.”
Yes it is. Thank you for saying all of this, Mr. Vice President.
In related news, while it also does not make up for such a light prison term, USA Swimming has banned Brock Turner for life.
Says the organization in a statement:
“USA Swimming strictly prohibits and has zero tolerance for sexual misconduct, with firm Code of Conduct policies in place, and severe penalties, including a permanent ban of membership, for those who violate our Code of Conduct.”

Joe Biden: NOT Running For President in 2016!
The 2016 race for the White House just got a little less crowded.
Vice President Joe Biden announced moments ago that he will not seek his party’s nomination for next year’s presidential election:
“Unfortunately, I believe we’re out of time, the time necessary to mount a winning campaign for the nomination,” Biden said in a press conference held at the White House. “While I will not be a candidate, I will not be silent.”
Rumors that the beloved VP would throw his hat into the ring have been circulating for months now.
The scrutiny and speculation only increased following the death of Biden’s son Beau back in May, as the 46-year-old had repeatedly encouraged his father to strive for the nation’s highest office.
It turns out family did indeed afctor into the Biden’s decision, but not in the way that many pundits expected.
“The most relevant factor in my decision is whether my family and I have the emotional energy to run,” Biden said last month.
“Some might think that is inappropriate. Unless I can go to my party and the American people and say that I am able to devote my whole heart and my whole soul to this endeavor it would not be appropriate.”
Biden said today that he plans to make his family his top priority as the grieving process for his son continues.
His decision means the race for the Democratic nomination will remain a two-way contest between Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont and former senator and secretary of state Hillary Clinton.
Virginia Senator Jim Webb ended his campaign yesterday, and lesser-known candidates Martin O’Malley and Lincoln Chafee are expected to follow suit in the near future.
