The wife of US Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas is using her Facebook page to amplify claims of corruption by former US vice president Joe Biden, the Democratic Party’s presidential candidate.
Virginia Thomas on Monday asked her more than 10,000 followers to consider sharing a link focused on alleged corruption by Biden and his son, Hunter, as well as claims that social media companies are censoring reports about the Bidens.
Last week, she reposted a video that features US President Donald Trump’s personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani and the headline: “The Biden Crime Family: How They Made Millions.”

Again asking people to share the link, Virginia Thomas wrote: “The mainstream media does not want people to know the facts of what this video reveal.”
On Oct. 14, she pointed followers to an attack on philanthropist George Soros.
“Who is really running the Democrat Party? The Soros family,” the shared link said, featuring photographs of Soros relations with Democratic vice presidential nominee Kamala Harris, US House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi and former US secretary of state Hillary Rodham Clinton.
On Oct. 12, she linked to a video by conservative commentator Dan Bongino asserting that Biden has dementia.
Three times this month, she wrote about what Trump and his supporters call Obamagate, an unsupported claim that former US president Barack Obama broke the law by spying on Trump and his associates during the transition between their administrations.
On Oct. 10, she wrote: “More citizens should KNOW about the biggest scandal and the evidence now piling up! #ObamaGate.”
On Oct. 17, she posted a photo of a man identified as a conservative who was protesting outside Twitter headquarters in San Francisco. The photo showed the man with a bloodied mouth and teeth missing.
She wrote: “Why is the left violent and why don’t Democrat’s [sic] condemn this?”
A few hours earlier, Virginia Thomas complained about apparent collusion between the media and the Biden campaign to shield the candidate from tough questions.
“Media + Biden/Harris team [equals] PROPAGANDA and Corruption. #WalkAwayFromDemocrats and the Mainstream Media! Find new news sources!” she wrote.
Clarence Thomas is the longest-serving current justice, having joined the court in 1991, and on Monday evening he administered the oath at the swearing in of new US Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett.
Both Thomases were at the White House on Monday for the ceremony. During the ceremony, Virginia Thomas sat next to Jesse Barrett, Amy Coney Barrett’s husband.
She wrote on Facebook on Tuesday that she was “so excited” to be at Amy Coney Barrett’s swearing in.
“Clarence said as we left, I wish your Mom was still alive, which drew my tears, as she would be living each minute and emotion of this historic day...a day President Trump made possible!” Virginia Thomas wrote.
A new online voting system aimed at boosting turnout among the Philippines’ millions of overseas workers ahead of Monday’s mid-term elections has been marked by confusion and fears of disenfranchisement. Thousands of overseas Filipino workers have already cast their ballots in the race dominated by a bitter feud between President Ferdinand Marcos Jr and his impeached vice president, Sara Duterte. While official turnout figures are not yet publicly available, data from the Philippine Commission on Elections (COMELEC) showed that at least 134,000 of the 1.22 million registered overseas voters have signed up for the new online system, which opened on April 13. However,
EUROPEAN FUTURE? Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama says only he could secure EU membership, but challenges remain in dealing with corruption and a brain drain Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama seeks to win an unprecedented fourth term, pledging to finally take the country into the EU and turn it into a hot tourist destination with some help from the Trump family. The artist-turned-politician has been pitching Albania as a trendy coastal destination, which has helped to drive up tourism arrivals to a record 11 million last year. US President Donald Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, also joined in the rush, pledging to invest US$1.4 billion to turn a largely deserted island into a luxurious getaway. Rama is expected to win another term after yesterday’s vote. The vote would
ALLIES: Calling Putin his ‘old friend,’ Xi said Beijing stood alongside Russia ‘in the face of the international counter-current of unilateralism and hegemonic bullying’ Chinese President Xi Jinping (習近平) yesterday was in Moscow for a state visit ahead of the Kremlin’s grand Victory Day celebrations, as Ukraine accused Russia’s army of launching air strikes just hours into a supposed truce. More than 20 foreign leaders were in Russia to attend a vast military parade today marking 80 years since the defeat of Nazi Germany in World War II, taking place three years into Russia’s offensive in Ukraine. Putin ordered troops into Ukraine in February 2022 and has marshaled the memory of Soviet victory against Nazi Germany to justify his campaign and rally society behind the offensive,
Myanmar’s junta chief met Chinese President Xi Jinping (習近平) for the first time since seizing power, state media reported yesterday, the highest-level meeting with a key ally for the internationally sanctioned military leader. Senior General Min Aung Hlaing led a military coup in 2021, overthrowing Myanmar’s brief experiment with democracy and plunging the nation into civil war. In the four years since, his armed forces have battled dozens of ethnic armed groups and rebel militias — some with close links to China — opposed to its rule. The conflict has seen Min Aung Hlaing draw condemnation from rights groups and pursued by the
