REMEMBERING BEAU BIDEN…
A LIFE OF HONOR AND ACHIEVEMENT
Beau Biden was, quite simply, the finest man any of us have ever known.
–– Vice President, Joe Biden
True heroism is remarkably sober, undramatic. It’s not the urge to surpass all others at whatever cost but the urge to serve others at whatever the cost.
–– Delaware Governor, Jack Markell
That was the most striking thing about him. He was just innately kind. He had a complete aversion to ever hurting anyone’s feelings.
–– Biden Staff Assistant, Terry Wright
He couldn’t do enough for anybody. He gave everything he had all the time.
–– Univ. of PA roommate, Michael Hochman

THE SAME CAN NOT BE SAID
FOR OTHERS IN BEAU BIDEN’S ORBIT
Hunter Biden capitalized on his last name to benefit himself. The Biden name was also a benefit to others in the political ecosystem. The “good son,” Beau Biden, also seemed to be a convenient political asset for Kamala Harris. Is there such a thing as “Stolen Valor” in a political sense?
NAME DROPPING IS USED TO POSITION ONESELF WITHIN A SOCIAL HIERARCHY
Name-dropping is used to position oneself within a social hierarchy. It is often used to create a sense of superiority by raising one’s status. By implying (or directly asserting) a connection to people of high status, the name-dropper hopes to raise their own social status to a level closer to that of those whose names they have dropped, and thus elevate themselves above, or into, present company.
Name-dropping can also be used to identify people with a common bond. By indicating the names of people one knows, one makes known their social circle, providing an opportunity for others with similar connections to relate.
Kamala-Harris-Exhibit A
In the complex realm of politics, where reputation and status hold significant sway, individuals often employ diverse strategies to position themselves within the political hierarchy. One such strategy involves making strategic references to influential or well-connected individuals, commonly known as name-dropping. The purpose of name-dropping is to create a perception of superiority and elevate one’s political status by implying or asserting a connection to high-status figures. This tactic allows name-droppers to align themselves with powerful and ambitious individuals, thereby advancing their own political aspirations.
For many individuals involved in politics, the ultimate aspiration is to ascend the ladder of power and influence. Name-dropping is merely one strategic maneuver to advance political goals.
Understanding Harris’s path to her current post sheds light on the reasons for her unpopularity. Even among politicians, not exactly known for their honesty and integrity, Harris appears to be uniquely unscrupulous.
Although it’s an oversimplification, there are at least two types of politicians: the true believers and the power-lusters. In the former category, we might include Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and the Squad on the left and former Rep. Justin Amash (I-Mich.) on the right. Whatever one thinks of the true believers’ substantive positions, you can feel their sincerity, the earnest hope that good-faith debate and public service can make our government – and, with it, our society – better.
Kamala Harris may be one of the best modern examples of the power-luster — the political careerist who loves power for its own sake, whose ultimate goal is to climb as high as possible. Americans, at least those not completely brainwashed by partisan team affiliation, know the power-luster well, the politician who will say or do almost anything to stay in power.
California senator Harris tweeted this photo out on the anniversary of Biden’s death in May, 2019.
In the realm of politics, there are individuals who possess a deep-seated desire for power and seek to climb the political ladder with unwavering determination. Kamala Harris, the Vice President of the United States, emerges as a prominent example of a modern power seeker. Throughout her career, Harris has showcased a relentless pursuit of political influence, making her a noteworthy figure in the world of politics.
Kamala Harris’s political journey is marked by a series of calculated moves, demonstrating her ambition for power. From serving as a district attorney in San Francisco to becoming California’s Attorney General and later a U.S. Senator, Harris has consistently sought opportunities to climb higher on the political ladder. Her rise to the Vice Presidency further exemplifies her unyielding drive for political prominence.
Power seekers possess a keen eye for seizing opportunities that can propel their careers forward. Harris’s successful presidential campaign in 2020 is a prime example of her ability to capitalize on the right moment. Despite ending her bid for the presidency early, she used her campaign as a stepping stone to secure the vice-presidential nomination, ultimately achieving one of the highest positions of power in the United States.
Kamala Harris’s ambitious trajectory, strategic decision-making, adaptability, seizing of opportunities, and charismatic public image all contribute to her prominence as a political careerist. Whether viewed positively or negatively, Harris’s journey underscores the complexities and ambitions that can drive individuals in pursuit of power in the world of politics.
Ruthless pursuit of power, no matter the cost, defines Harris’s political career to date. Time and time again, the California senator’s record shows she views peoples’ rights and legal constraints on her power as mere obstacles on her climb up the political ladder.
It’s impossible to draw any other conclusion from even a cursory glance at Harris’s tenure as California attorney general, the office she held from 2011 to 2017, as well as her time as San Francisco district attorney before that. Harris, who now claims the mantle of progressivism and social justice, repeatedly used the power as a prosecutor to crush the innocent for political gain.
From the “That’s my story and I’m sticking to it” Department
“WE HAD EACH OTHERS’ BACKS. WE TALKED EVERY DAY”
There is no documented evidence to confirm the claim by Kamala Harris that she and Beau Biden talked every day about the 2012 mortgage crisis negotiations. However, there have been reports of the two speaking about the subject on multiple occasions. According to an article in the New York Times from April 2015, “Ms. Harris and Beau Biden worked together on a federal mortgage settlement in 2012, and she said they spoke regularly about it.” Additionally, in a 2016 interview with the Los Angeles Times, Harris said that “I have great admiration for him, and we did speak regularly during the course of those negotiations.” However, without specific documentation, it is impossible to confirm the claim of daily communication.
From Kamala’s book. A mere two paragraphs dedicated to Kamala’s close and “incredible friend and colleague,” Beau Biden.
It was September 2011, the first year of her first term as California’s attorney general. The nation was still struggling to regain its economic footing after the Great Recession, and Harris was under intense pressure from the banking industry, the Department of Justice, and most of her fellow state attorneys generalto accept a billion-dollar settlement from the mortgage-financing industry that would immunize them from investigations into other potential crimes committed in advance of the the subprime mortgage crisis. And she was not having it.
“The pressure was intense—and constant—and it was coming from all sides: from longtime allies and longtime adversaries and everyone in between,” Harris recalled in her memoir.
Only a few other state attorneys general, equally dissatisfied with the settlement’s proposed terms, supported Harris in holding out for more money and more time to investigate wrongdoing: Martha Coakley of Massachusetts, Catherine Cortez Masto of Nevada, Eric Schneiderman of New York, and Beau Biden of Delaware.
Biden, the crown prince of the Diamond State, was in his second term as Delaware’s attorney general, and had every reason to follow Justice’s lead on the settlement. The foreclosure crisis hadn’t hit Delaware nearly as badly as California, and the state’s friendly corporate arbitration system and even friendlier tax structure had made it a haven for the big banks.
“But that wasn’t who Beau was,” Harris later wrote. Biden opened his own investigation into the mortgage-financing industry as the settlement stalled, and began sharing the resultant information with Harris’ office—and “became an incredible friend and colleague” as a result.
“There were periods, when I was taking heat, when Beau and I talked every day, sometimes multiple times a day,” Harris recalled in The Truths We Hold. “We had each other’s backs.”
Beyond the mortgage settlement, Harris and Biden worked together both formally and informally on legal issues on their docket, including fighting online child abuse imagery, sex trafficking, and elder abuse in nursing homes. Their friendship eventually included an introduction to Beau’s father, at the time the sitting vice president.
U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder, Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Secretary Shaun Donovan, Iowa Attorney General Tom Miller and Colorado Attorney General John W. Suthers announced today that the federal government and 49 state attorneys general have reached a landmark $25 billion agreement with the nation’s five largest mortgage servicers to address mortgage loan servicing and foreclosure abuses. The agreement provides substantial financial relief to homeowners and establishes significant new homeowner protections for the future.
The unprecedented joint agreement is the largest federal-state civil settlement ever obtained and is the result of extensive investigations by federal agencies, including the Department of Justice, HUD and the HUD Office of the Inspector General (HUD-OIG), and state attorneys general and state banking regulators across the country.
State Atty. Gen. Kamala Harris was showered with applause at February’s California Democratic Party convention after spelling out how she went up against the nation’s five largest mortgage firms to help deliver a landmark $25-billion national settlement. Note: there is no mention of Beau Biden.

who has prospered in the rough and tumble
politics of the Golden State.
Kamala Harris’s role in the affair was no more or less tragic than anyone else’s. But now that she’s running for president, Harris is not only eliding responsibility for her part in the failure, but claiming it as an outright success. That claim doesn’t withstand a moment’s scrutiny.
Harris wasn’t in office when negotiations commenced in the fall of 2010, and while she nominally joined the task force executive committee after her election as California attorney general, for her first several months in office she kept relatively quiet on the matter. She was not the first attorney general to break from the investigation; New York’s Eric Schneiderman and five other Democrats got there first, and Schneiderman largely led the resistance.
A coalition called Californians for a Fair Settlement formed (with Schneiderman’s help) to separate Harris from the negotiations. They jammed office phone lines with constituent calls, and eventually got Gavin Newsom, at the time Harris’s biggest potential rival in state politics, to sign a letter opposing the emerging deal. (Newsom has since endorsed Harris’s presidential candidacy; the two share campaign consultants.) A month of persistent grassroots pressure and challenges to her political advancement led to Harris’s dramatic break with the talks, after a day spent with bankers trying to salvage them.
Of the $20 billion Harris touts, nearly half of it, $9.5 billion, came in the form of short sales, in which homeowners sell their properties for below the mortgage balance without having to make up the difference. That can be helpful to someone’s credit score, but it results in losing the home, the exact opposite intention of the settlement. And because California is a “non-recourse” state, lenders are prevented from seeking mortgage balances from borrowers after a home sale anyway.
In 2013, Harris’s predecessor, Sen. Barbara Boxer, got a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service that short sale forgiveness in California represented no material value to borrowers. In other words, this supposed “gift” for homeowners from Harris’s settlement totaled $0.00.
Harris is specifically praising herself for the national mortgage settlement, and that’s just appalling. Letting the biggest banks in America get away with the largest consumer fraud in American history is nothing to celebrate.
The Big Whopper season is already upon us, in the form of presidential aspirants telling egregious lies about their track records. The Wall Street Journal tonight covers a section from Kamala Harris’ new book, in which she touts what a great deal she got for California homeowners in the so-called Federal-49 state National Mortgage Settlement in 2012.
The officials who played meaningful roles in the mortgage settlement negotiation should be run out of public life, rather than failing upwards, as Harris has. Hopefully, the millions who lost their homes to foreclosure will vigorously oppose her Presidential bid. But being a successful politician apparently means having no sense of shame.

In her January, 2019 book, “The Truths We Hold: An American Journey” Harris writes as California Attorney General, she fought Dimon—CEO of the biggest bank in the country– and his team of subprime mortgage bond salesmen, whose greed contributed the 2008 Great Recession by preying on Americans with low FICO scores–including immigrants—by selling them multiple homes at teaser rates that began to spike as the housing bubble burst and housing prices tanked.

TRAGEDIES IN JOE BIDEN’S LIFE
AND HOW MEMORIES CAN GET JUMBLED UP
Neilia Hunter Biden (July 28, 1942 – December 18, 1972) was an American teacher and the first wife of Joe Biden, the 46th and current president of the United States. She died in a car crash in 1972 with her one-year-old daughter, Naomi.
There is no person in American politics today whose life has been so shaped by loss and grief. The long arc of Biden’s career is all but bracketed by tragedy. In 1972, his wife and baby daughter were killed in a car accident; in 2015, one of his two sons who had survived the crash died of a rare strain of brain cancer. These wretched tentpoles are not only tragedies the 76-year-old Biden has had to endure. They influenced major decisions he made about his political career—first, his priorities in the Senate; later, his decision to opt out of the presidential election of 2016. And they defined him as a person as well, according to longtime friends, former aides and veteran politicos in his home state of Delaware.
The truck carrying corncobs broadsided the Bidens’ white Chevrolet station wagon returning from a trip to pick the family Christmas tree. It sheared off the left rear wheel and drove the back door into the back seat and pushed the car some 150 feet into a thicket of evergreens. Neilia Biden, 30, and Naomi “Amy” Biden, 13 months, were dead on arrival at the hospital. Joseph “Beau” Biden III, 3, had a slew of broken bones, and Robert Hunter “Hunt” Biden, 2, had head injuries that doctors feared might be permanent.
Biden was remarried in 1977, to Jill Tracy Jacobs, an English teacher who met Biden on a blind date arranged by his brother. Their relationship made him whole enough again that he could think about more than just surviving. He was reelected in 1978, and again in 1984. In 1987, he ran for president, a bid halted after he incorporated into a speech of his parts of a speech by a British Labour Party leader, which coincided with reports about an insufficiently footnoted paper in law school, all of which congealed into a new and unflattering narrative about Biden as a cheater or plagiarist, or at least far too careless.
In 2001, the week following the September 11 attacks, Biden gave a speech at the University of Delaware to a crowd of more than 2,700. He told them to not be afraid. He told the students their generation was up to the task to fight this fight. And he grieved for the people who had gotten a call saying their loved ones were dead, just like that, there in the morning, now gone forever. Once, he said, he had gotten that call. “It was an errant driver who stopped to drink instead of drive and hit—a tractor-trailer—hit my children and my wife and killed them,” he said.
Six years later, in a very different context, in Iowa for a second attempt at running for president, he relayed a similar rendering of the accident. “Let me tell you a little story,” he said to a quiet crowd in Iowa City. “ … a guy who allegedly—and I never pursued it—drank his lunch instead of eating his lunch, broadsided my family … ”
The problem was it wasn’t true.The driver of the truck, Curtis C. Dunn of Pennsylvania, was not charged with drunk driving. He wasn’t charged with anything. The accident was an accident, and though the police file no longer exists, coverage in the newspapers at the time made it clear that fault was not in question. For whatever reason, Neilia Biden, who was holding the baby, ended up in the right of way of Dunn’s truck coming down a long hill.
Biden’s first campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination was derailed by accusations of plagiarism in college and reporting that he had lifted not only the words of a British politician in his stump speech but also the backstory of being a first-generation college student that went with the lifted section but did not actually hold true for Biden. He would withdraw from the race in Sept. 1987, admitting his “mistakes” but lamenting the “exaggerated shadow” they cast on his aspirations for the presidency.
Twenty years later, Biden would run again, but he suffered from a series of political gaffes and low polling numbers. After finishing fifth in the Iowa caucuses, he withdrew from the Democratic primary race on Jan. 3, 2008, only to be announced in late August as then-Sen. Barack Obama’s running mate. An experienced foreign-policy hand, Biden was speculated to have been picked to balance the ticket after having previously called Obama “not yet ready” for the presidency when he was still vying for the party’s nomination the year before.
“She had a stop sign. The truck driver did not,” Jerome Herlihy told me. He’s a retired judge who then was a deputy attorney general and once was a neighbor to Biden and remains friendly. A pal of Biden at the time asked Herlihy “to go out to the state police troop where the driver of the other vehicle was to make sure everything was going all right,” and so he did. “In the end,” Herlihy said, “I concurred in their decision that there was no fault on his part.”
President Biden on Friday repeated a false claim that his son, Beau Biden, died while serving in the Iraq War, but also incorrectly stated he ran for president while serving as vice president under former President Barack Obama.
“You know, the bottom line is this – I ran for president – I ran for president for a basic reason. I hadn’t planned on running again for president,” Biden said during a speech at Nash Community College in Rocky Mount, North Carolina.
“I had run when I was vice president, and then Barack and I spent eight years together, and then the new administration came in, and, in the meantime, things changed in our life and our family. I lost my son – we lost our son in Iraq.Anyway – I hadn’t planned on running,” he added.
The death of Joe Biden’s son from brain cancer sheds light on a disease that is alarmingly common in adults and routinely misunderstood.
A Democratic superstar with a calm demeanor and passionate advocacy, the 46-year-old’s death raises new questions about the disease that killed him—one that’s alarmingly common in adults and chronically misunderstood by the public.
Former Vice President and 2020 presidential candidate Joe Biden gave an emotional tribute to his late son Beau Biden in a Wednesday morning appearance on “Morning Joe,” saying he believed Beau should be running for president instead of him.
When former Vice President Joe Biden began thinking of potential running mates this spring, one of the first people to come to mind was Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.).
“She was always in the narrative from the beginning,” said one source who is close to Biden. “And even after that, it was always Kamala and this person and Kamala and that person. She was never ever out of the picture. She was always in the mix.”
Biden talked at length about nominating someone he is close with — a partner that he said would be “simpatico” with him personally and professionally.
But in the end, it was the emotional tug of his son Beau Biden that may have tipped the scales.
…the never-before-told story of what happened behind the scenes as Harris prepared for that debate, and Biden and his team in turn responded, explains how close Harris came to not getting picked for the ticket—and why she and Biden both have worked so hard to build up their relationship in the months since.
Onstage at Miami’s Ziff Ballet Opera House, she seized her moment.
“I’m going to now direct this at Vice President Biden:I do not believe you are a racist, and I agree with you when you commit yourself to the importance of finding common ground,” she said, looking over at him. “But I also believe, and it’s personal—it was hurtful to hear you talk about the reputations of two United States senators who built their reputations and career on the segregation of race in this country. And it was not only that, but you also worked with them to oppose busing. And, you know, there was a little girl in California who was part of the second class to integrate her public schools, and she was bused to school every day. And that little girl was me.”
A few minutes later, the moderators paused for a commercial break. Biden leaned over to Pete Buttigieg, at the podium to his right. They barely knew each other, but Biden was looking for someone to share the moment with.
“Well,” he said, according to multiple people to whom the conversation was relayed afterward. “That was some f—ing bullshit.”
Jill Biden didn’t have to worry about being so politic, and never had.She had watched the debate from her seat in the opera house, about ready to jump out of it. She’s small and a community college professor. Most people forget that she’s proudly still the Philly girl who likes to tell the story of when she showed up at the door of a boy named Drew who’d been throwing worms at her 9-year-old sister, and, in Jill’s telling, “pulled back and punched him in the face.”
The aides could do the political maneuvering after Harris’ attack. Jill was and is the guardian of the Biden honor, the Biden id. She couldn’t bear to watch a woman who called herself a friend of her son’s—although Beau was not her biological child, she’d raised him his entire life as if he were—try to tear her husband down, to score a point at a debate.
“With what he cares about, what he fights for, what he’s committed to, you get up there and call him a racist without basis?” she said on a phone call with close supporters a week later, according to multiple people on the call. “Go f— yourself.”
The only public explanation former vice president Joe Biden has given for why he was so unprepared for Sen. Kamala D. Harris’s attack in the first Democratic debate boils down to this: He did not expect something like that from the candidate who had been so close to his late son.
Joe Biden’s late son Beau, who served as Delaware attorney general, is a focal point of the former vice president’s life story as he seeks the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination.
The former vice president evoked Beau after one of his chief Democratic rivals, Kamala Harris, highlighted his opposition to desegregation busing during the fist Democratic primary debate. But Harris isn’t letting up on her criticism.
Harris, elected to the Senate in 2016, previously served six years as California attorney general. That overlapped with Beau Biden’s tenure as Delaware’s top prosecutor, and the pair knew each other professionally. In an interview on The Breakfast Club morning show aired Friday, Harris spoke fondly of Beau Biden before pivoting to familiar political terrain, hitting his father for talking up his work with segregationist senators in the 1970s.
The California senator and Democratic presidential hopeful said her relationship with Beau Biden is “separate from the fact that segregationists in the United States Senate stood and lived their careers to segregate the races in public education in the United States, and that I was one of those many children who was personally impacted by that.”
Harris added, “I’m not gonna let us engage on a debate stage for who’s gonna be the next president of the United States, I’m not gonna allow us to engage in revisionist history.”
