What's the Value of Hunter Biden Art?

....in five days it should all be $0, as his Dragon Eggs will become worthless without a dragon to redeem them.

Ben Kew, "REPORT: Hunter Biden Loses 200 Of His Artworks in California Fires – Claims Value at ‘Millions of Dollars’"
Hunter Biden has reportedly lost hundreds of his treasured artworks in the Los Angeles wildfires.

According to The New York Post, Hunter’s artworks went up in flames as wildfires continued to ravage the city, leaving thousands of properties in its wake.

The report states:
A trove of nearly 200 artworks by Hunter Biden has been destroyed — one of the casualties of the wildfires ravaging Los Angeles, The Post has learned.

The controversial art had been in storage near the Pacific Palisades home of Hunter’s Hollywood attorney Kevin Morris and is valued at “millions of dollars,” a source close to the Biden family said.

Morris, who loaned the first son nearly $5 million to help pay a tax bill and has been financing a documentary on him, lives in a sprawling five-bedroom, six-bathroom home which is among the few houses still intact in the posh neighborhood, The Post can confirm.

A lawyer for Hunter Biden, who is a self-taught artist who turned to painting while in recovery from drug addiction, did not immediately return a request for comment.
Hunter’s ventures into the art world have long raised eyebrows for their sky-high valuations and consequent sales.

His abstract and mixed-media pieces have been sold for prices ranging from $75,000 to $500,000, figures that are more likely due to his family connections than his artistic talent.

In fact, many of his buyers have since been revealed to have been purchased by Democratic donors and other wealthy allies of the Biden family.

The most prominent of these buyers was Morris, who bought 11 works of Hunter’s art for $875,000.

Morris also previously covered $2 million in Hunter’s unpaid tax bills taxes o a $50,000 donation to Joe Biden’s campaign in 2020.

Last month, local landlord Shaun Maguire claimed that Hunter owes him $300,000 in back pay rent and had tried to pay him with artwork made of his own feces.

“Hunter was our tenant in Venice, CA. Didn’t pay rent for over a year. Tried to pay w/ art made from his own feces,” Maguire explained.
“Absolute shit bag,” he added.

To HELL with Biden's stupid speech, to HELL with Hunter Biden.,this makes better new.
Nancy Pelosi was seen as a driving force behind the Democratic push for Biden to step aside, or to put it the way it really was, To Throw Him Under The Bus!
After Vice President Kamala Harris lost to President-elect Trump, Pelosi expressed regret that Biden hadn’t dropped out earlier.

Back in June, speculation swirled about Biden stepping down after the debate. Despite his insistence that he wouldn’t, reports suggested Democratic leaders like former President Obama, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and Pelosi urged him to reconsider. They feared he wouldn’t beat Trump
Here’s the rewritten article with short, bursty sentences and the original number of paragraphs:
“It’s been on my mind a lot lately, and—” Jill Biden said. “We were friends for 50 years. It was disappointing,” she told the Post in a Wednesday piece.

Pelosi had joined “Morning Joe” in July, shortly after President Biden’s shaky debate performance. On the show, Pelosi said, “It’s up to the president to decide if he is going to run,” even though Biden had repeatedly assured he would stay in the race
Here’s the rewritten article with short, bursty sentences and the original number of paragraphs:

As she prepares to leave the White House, First Lady Jill Biden shared her thoughts in an interview with The Washington Post. She opened up about her disappointment in former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., who played a role in President Biden stepping out of the 2024 race.

“It’s been on my mind a lot lately, and—” Jill Biden said. “We were friends for 50 years. It was disappointing,” she told the Post in a Wednesday piece.

Pelosi had joined “Morning Joe” in July, shortly after President Biden’s shaky debate performance. On the show, Pelosi said, “It’s up to the president to decide if he is going to run,” even though Biden had repeatedly assured he would stay in the race
Last week, President Biden shared a different perspective with USA Today. “Who the hell knows? So far, so good. But who knows what I’m going to be when I’m 86 years old?” he admitted.

Jill Biden also reflected on the president’s choice to pardon their son, Hunter. “Joe really wrestled with that decision,” she said. “I mean, we started— he started at the point where he said he wasn’t going to pardon Hunter. But then I think things changed. Circumstances changed, and it became quite apparent and obvious that the Republicans weren’t going to stop.
This became a Hollywood Soap Opera, and it still is as far as Jill Biden is concerned

What happens when that leadership of a nation falters, and the rest of the bunch in power fail to address the cracks in the foundation? What happens when staffers and elected officials, who are meant to protect and serve the country, knowingly allow a facade of strength to be perpetuated, even as the reality of President Joe Biden’s declining health puts us all at risk? A man so hell bent to destroy the Nation he was elected to Protect.

Well, take a good look at the person sitting in the Oval office of the White House right at this very minute! In a betrayal that cannot be overstated, members of Congress and presidential staffers who were privy to Biden’s deteriorating condition chose to keep it hidden. With a Lesbian Press Secretary with hair like Larry of the Three Stooges, and who is constantly lying her Skinny Ass Off to protect the Walking Zombi who doesn’t even know what State he’s in! They all allowed the image of a robust, capable leader to persist—while behind the scenes, unelected, unprepared assistants stepped in ( without Falling Down) to make critical decisions in the name of a leader too frail to lead. The all should be thrown in Jail for what they have allowed to happen to this one time Great Nation of ours!
Our dementia infested President is so insecure that he can’t even Give Credit to Donald Trump for his Warning Hamas about releasing the Hostages.
This wasn’t just a failure of transparency but a Complete Criminal Dereliction of Duty. There are no other words to describe it! It was a betrayal of not only their Jobs, but of the American people and a gift to our Enemies, who were all too aware that the nation’s leadership had been compromised. This was the one and only reason we saw Russia dod what they did to Ukraine . And what had happened in Israel as well. Neither would have happened if Donald Trump were in Power instead of that Skinny, Lying idiot. . who needs to be led around on a Leash by his Nurse Jill.
This was the Deliberate Deception, by the Media, along with the Democratic party all of them including Barrack Obama who is hiding behind the Drapes , and Moochle with her direct telephone line to Hawaii. SHAME on them ALL ;;. : They All Are A Charade And a Fire on them ALL.

When a Nation who is led by a President in Poor Health whether Physical, Cognitive, or otherwise—who can’t walk ip the step to his airplane without falling down 3 times, there is an obligation to be honest with the public, or at least there should be.. This lack honesty is a constitutional and moral duty necessary for the nation’s security. This entire episode was presentable. And should not have happened. But it did. This was the biggest cover-Up job in the history of America. And it was covered up far worse than the Cover-up by Richard Nixon
And what if the people entrusted with the responsibility to safeguard that truth allowed the country to be misled? What if the Vice President is Incapable to carry on the job like Kamala Harris and a majority of cabinet are? And what if they all refuse to execute the provisions of the 25th Amendment, which deals with presidential incapacitation? Should we fire them all, and kick them all to the curb as they would do in their beloved Communist countries? I’d say YES, Sure!

The Art world is in shambles, 200 of Hunter's paintings GONE FOREVER! How will they EVER recover?

The Mooch (aka 'Big Mike') is p*ssed. He'll NEVER be President now! Kamala stole his spot on the Democratic ticket!

The Prophet Dervish Z Sanders said...

The "he" you refer to is imaginary. This person only exists in your bigoted White Supremacist delusions.

The Prophet Dervish Z Sanders said...

Me: Someone named Shaun Maguire said “Hunter was our tenant in Venice, CA. Didn’t pay rent for over a year. Tried to pay with art made from his own feces". Is this true?

Copilot: The claim made by Shaun Maguire about Hunter Biden trying to pay rent with art made from his own feces appears to be unsubstantiated. While Maguire has made allegations about unpaid rent and bizarre payment attempts, there is no credible evidence to support these claims.

Hunter Biden's whereabouts during the time in question don't align with Maguire's story. According to various sources, Hunter Biden was living in different locations, including Connecticut and West Hollywood, not Venice, California.

Did I not use his preferred pronouns? My bad...

Hunter can't rent multiple houses? Who knew...

Hey Dervy, there's a perfect tenant waiting at your doorsteps on Highway 69 in Paris: Hunter was our tenant in Venice, CA. Didn’t pay rent for over a year. Tried to pay w/ art made from his own feces.

Rattrapper said...

Hey Derpwood, Venice California is a district of the city of Los Angeles, next to Hollywood.

The Prophet Dervish Z Sanders said...

Mimus: The Art world is in shambles, 200 of Hunter's paintings GONE FOREVER! How will they EVER recover?

I 100 percent agree.

FYI, the d0n0ld supporter Shaun Maguire is a liar. If Hunter owed Shaun 300k, why did he never sue to try and recover this money? If he didn't care about losing 300k before, why would he suddenly be so concerned about it now?

Rattrapper said...

d0n0ld is a figment of Dervish's delusions.

The Prophet Dervish Z Sanders said...

Donald John Trump is a figment of my delusions? But you've been counting down the days until he returns to the White House, Mystere. Is he a figment of your delusions too?

Richard said...

What I’ve learned from the CALIFORNIA WILDFIRES that have devastated is the profound impact of neglecting nature and making everything political like Governor Gavin Newsom has been doing.

The potential damage of wind-whipped fires was well-known and predictable.
The political leadership ignored public safety concerns and preparations to concentrate their attention on political power dynamics, namely pumping funding into social programs to aggregate voters while targeting one individual that symbolized the opposition to their narrative-driven ideology.
These fires aren’t just a product of environmental factors but a stark reminder of how human activity, poor land management, and inadequate infrastructure can create the perfect storm something that the Progressives don’t and can’t seem to understand. .
Communities are being left to fend for themselves, struggling with the aftermath of physical destruction and the emotional cost of lost homes and livelihoods, while politicians and bureaucrats fight to preserve their cushy positions, political influence, and a profitable symbiosis with special interest supporters.

It’s the fault of the inept California Governor for not understanding the faux-complexity of a simple proposition.

It’s the fault of the inept California Governor, for not grasping the faux-complexity of a simple proposition. Instead of offering clear, logical solutions, their rhetoric is cloaked in convoluted jargon designed to make you feel inadequate for questioning the subject.

Biden's entire family committed so many crimes from America to Ukraine while he was Vice-President. He was the most crooked politician of the 21st Century. You have to understand that. Lets say it like it is! Biden could give every single American a million bucks and we would still hate his guts

Michelle Obama says she won't attend Donald Trump's inauguration on January 20th and No One Cares!
In fact most people are Very Happy about it.

d0n0ld is a figment of YOUR delusions, Derpish. Donald John Trump is real. And your fart machine you named Mystere is just a machine. It can't reply back.

Rattrapper said...

Richard, calling that baboon in Sacramento "Inept" is way too polite. Calling him an evil tyrant is much closer to being factual. Newsom is a power hungry evil baboon.

Trump won't be serving bananas at his inauguration and the inauguration balls. He'll be serving real classy meals.

"Derpish" is a figment of your delusions, Mystere. Donald John Trump and d0n0ld are the same person.

Mystere: And your fart machine you named Mystere is just a machine. It can't reply back.

You aren't MY fart machine, Mystere. I don't want you. Why do you want to be owned by me? You can (and have) replied back. You can stop any time you want. Or you can continue. It's your choice. But to say that you can't is obviously a lie.

Joe Conservative said...

Maybe you can pick up some Hunter Art at a flea market or a garage sale.

The Prophet Dervish Z Sanders said...

Mystere: Trump won't be serving bananas at his inauguration and the inauguration balls.

It's obvious you think that, with d0n0ld returning to the white house, being openly racist is now OK. You've shown your true colors, Mystere. Though it isn't if people didn't already know you're a racist.

Joe Conservative said...

Then I suppose fried chicken and watermelon are also out of the question. @@

Joe Conservative said...

Chiquita sells millions of boxes of bananas in the United States each year. In 2014, Chiquita and Fyffes merged to form ChiquitaFyffes, the world's largest banana distribution company. The combined company sold over 160 million boxes of bananas per year.</i<

Racist B*stards! I know I probably ate 2-300 of them.

The Prophet Dervish Z Sanders said...

That was a suggestion that Michelle Obama is a monkey and you know it. Your dipsh!ttery doesn't change that fact.

Joe Conservative said...

That's not a very charitable assumption, Derv. It's based upon an expectation of intention to offend, and does not reflect any "caritas" for the actual intentions of the speaker. In other words, your performing your mentalist act again Derv. The world needs a lot more caritas if we all hope to get along in the future. We can't "cling to our victimhood" forever.

Joe Conservative said...

In other words, its' time to "eat the banana."

Joe Conservative said...

...and do Hunter afficiandos one better.

Joe Conservative said...

Step away from crime art, and return to art crime.

The Prophet Dervish Z Sanders said...

More moronity. I didn't make any assumptions. I went by past comments. Like this recent one.

Rattrapper said...

OH BOY, DERVISH! I baited you with a loaded comment and you took the bait, hook line and sinker! You yanked the race card out of your stink hole when I chumped you with the bananas comment. You delivered, Dervy! I outsmarted you,

Rattrapper said...

😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆

Poor Dervy! You went ape over my brilliant assessment about you... Oh wait, you are a white baboon, right?

The Prophet Dervish Z Sanders said...

Racism is dumb. You proving yourself to be a racist by making racist comments doesn't equal you "outsmarting" me. Your comment proves you are a racist moron. And you gave no "brilliant assessment", you posted a racist comment. Mystere is a proud member of "Asians for White Supremacy".

-FJ the Dangerous and Extreme MAGA Jew said...

Wanna know the definition of a moron? Someone who believes that "Asians for white supremacy" is a thing...

The Prophet Dervish Z Sanders said...

Only if you think acknowledging facts is moronic. Which you obviously do. Mystere himself is an Asian that supports White Supremacy. Yet again you try to deny what I can see with my own eyes.

A g00gle search says 39% of Asian American voters like White Supremacy.

-FJ the Dangerous and Extreme MAGA Jew said...

Mystere isn't immersed in trauma culture critical pedagogy like you... where every problem is reduced to skin colour and the presence of penises.

-FJ the Dangerous and Extreme MAGA Jew said...

He hasn't been "over-educated" into stupidity like you.

The Prophet Dervish Z Sanders said...

Turds like you and Mystere are the ones that have been "educated" into the stupidity that is racism. And you're also the ones reducing every problem to skin color and the absence of penises. Why you claim a person is "unqualified" to hold any important job unless their skin is White and they have a penis. And going so far as to claim that a person being in the top 50 of 16,000 applicants can't do the job. Not only they can't, but they do it bad. While a drunk like Pete Hegseth who mismanaged veteran's charities somehow can. "Somehow" being that he's a White man.

Joe Conservative said...

They're obviously unqualified if they need affirmative action to get hired.

The Prophet Dervish Z Sanders said...

BS. The reason that Affirmative Action is needed is because Whites won't promote QUALIFIED minorities. They think simply being White makes a candidate more qualified. You've clearly demonstrated this is your belief.
