ON HUNTER BIDEN'S LONG SORDID HISTORY OF SUCKING OFF BRIBES - JOE BIDEN CLAIMS HE DON'T KNOW NOTHIN' 'BOUT BIRTHIN' NO BABIES!

JOE BIDEN HAS NEVER DONE ANYTHING IN HIS POLITICAL LIFE BUT SUCK OFF  BRIBES!


Biden Claims Ignorance of Son’s Work in Ukraine

December 9, 2019 Updated: December 9, 2019
Former Vice President Joe Biden said that he doesn’t know what his son Hunter Biden was doing in his five years of work for Ukrainian energy company Burisma, and that he doesn’t want to know, either.
“I don’t know what he was doing,” Biden, 77, told Axios about his 49-year-old son. “I know he was on the board. I found out he was on the board after he was on the board. And that was it.”
“But you’ve had a lot of time. Isn’t this something you want to get to the bottom of?” Axios’s Mike Allen asked.
“No, because I trust my son,” Biden said.
“There’s nothing on its face that was wrong,” he claimed. “You know there’s not one single piece of evidence—not even one tiny little bit—to suggest anything done was wrong.”
Biden was pressed on the appearance of a conflict of interest—his son held the Burisma board seat from 2014 to 2019, including several years during which Biden was vice president—and was told that several White House aides tried to warn him about the potential conflicts of interest.

“Nobody warned me about a potential conflict of interest. Nobody warned me about that,” Biden told NPR.
George Kent, a State Department official, testified in November that he brought up the issue with Biden’s office but was told Biden didn’t have the capacity to deal with the issue at the time.
“Well, my son was dying, so I guess that’s why he said it, because my son was on his deathbed. But that, that’s not the reason why—they should have told me,” Biden said.
“And the fact of the matter is, my son testified and did an interview saying if he, looking back on it, made a mistake, he made a mistake, although he did nothing wrong. The appearance looked bad and it gave folks like Rudy Giuliani an excuse to come up with a ‘Trumpian’ kind of defense, why they were violating the Constitution. His words speak for themselves.”
According to The New Yorker, at least one aide, Amos Hochstein, the Obama administration’s special envoy for energy policy, did directly bring up the matter with Biden.
The situation is being probed by multiple Senate committees. In 2018, Biden was captured on video boasting that in 2016, he threatened to withhold $1 billion from Ukraine to force the ouster of top prosecutor Viktor Shokin, who was investigating Burisma. Shokin’s replacement shut down the investigation. The case is being now reviewed by the new top prosecutor.
Biden has insisted neither he nor his son did anything wrong; he has also indicated that if he’s elected president, nobody in his family would be allowed to have foreign business dealings.

'For a number of reasons': Tulsi Gabbard refuses to attend next Democratic primary debate

Rep. Tulsi Gabbard announced that she will not be attending the Democratic presidential primary debate in December.
Gabbard, the 38-year-old congresswoman from Hawaii, said in a Monday tweet that she will not appear onstage alongside the other presidential contenders and will instead focus her efforts on meeting with voters from early voting states.
“For a number of reasons, I have decided not to attend the December 19th ‘debate’ — regardless of whether or not there are qualifying polls. I instead choose to spend that precious time directly meeting with and hearing from the people of New Hampshire and South Carolina,” she said.
During the last debate, which took place in November, she and former candidate Sen. Kamala Harris of California got into a spat about Gabbard’s political beliefs.
“I think that it’s unfortunate that we have someone on this stage who is attempting to be the Democratic nominee for president of the United States, who during the Obama administration spent four years full-time on Fox News criticizing President Obama,” Harris said of Gabbard during one of the most heated moments of the November debate.
“What Sen. Harris is doing is, unfortunately, continuing to traffic in lies and smears and innuendos because she cannot challenge the substance of the argument that I’m making,” Gabbard responded, "which only makes me guess that she will, as president, continue the status quo, continue the Bush-Clinton-Trump foreign policy of regime change wars, which is deeply destructive."
During the same debate, Gabbard also criticized Hillary Clinton for her comments implying Gabbard was a “ Russian asset.”
“That our Democratic Party, unfortunately, is not the party that is of, by, and for the people. It is a party that has been and continues to be influenced by the foreign policy establishment in Washington represented by Hillary Clinton and others' foreign policy, by the military-industrial complex, and other greedy corporate interests,” Gabbard said.
The congresswoman previously threatened to boycott the party's October debate to bring attention to a process she called undemocratic but later agreed to participate in it.
“Our entire crony capitalist system, Democrat 

and Republican alike, has become a kleptocracy 

approaching par with third-world hell-holes.

Obama gave CommonCore contract to publisher, got $65 million book deal in return?

As far-left Democrats yell about bribery and high crimes and misdemeanors, let's turn to their own side of the aisle, starting with the once-penniless President Obama who left public office a very, very rich man.
He just bought a Martha's Vineyard mansion for a cool $11.75 million, which is in addition to his Kalorama lookout post, his Chicago home, and possibly a Hawaii spread. At some point you've made enough...but not him.
Ostensibly, it's mainly the work of his book deals. No bribery there, right?
Well, ahem...
According to Investment Watch (IWB), something doesn't quite look right.
Obama gave Pearson Publishing $350 million to create Commoncore text and Pearson gave Obama a $65 million dollar book deal in return.
...and...
Pearson Publishing was paid for Commoncore but Penguin Random House Publishing did the Obama book deal. But there is commonality with the two:
From Wiki:
Penguin Random House was formed on July 1, 2013, upon the completion of a £2.4 billion transaction between Bertelsmann and Pearson to merge their respective trade publishing companies, Random House and Penguin Group. Bertelsmann and Pearson, the parent companies, owning 53% and 47%, respectively.
In July 2017, Pearson agreed to sell a 22% stake in the business to Bertelsmann, thereby retaining a 25% holding.
That sounds like a classic bribe. You give me this big contract and I'll kick back some to you at a later date. Chicago Way. The book cash flowed to Obama in 2017. Pearson incidentally, seemed to lose money anyway, given the public distaste for Obama's federal takeover of education via Common Core, which extended to states cutting the program.
President Trump complained about the apparent quid pro quo last summer
It's not the first time Obama has done things like this either. IWB notes that Obama's net neutrality stance benefited Netflix, and surprise, surprise, he got a lucrative deal wtih them, too.

One hand washes the other.

Book deals, incidentally, have been some pretty spectacular avenues for bribery based on their apparent deniability. Here's a famous one from Russia in 1997 that rocked the Russian political landscape:
Ethical questions were raised this week when a Russian reporter revealed that Mr. Chubais and his collaborators had accepted $90,000 each for writing a monograph on the history of privatization. The publisher, Segodnya Press, is owned by Oneksimbank, a powerful financial institution that recently won a series of coveted auctions of state property.
Chubais is Anatoly Chubais, former Russian finance minister and famed Russian 'reformer,' who apparently reformed his bankbook, too. He was in tight with Democrats, particularly John Podesta, and might have been the role model or maybe the guy who gave Democrats the ideas about how useful the publishers could be.
Here's what Chubais might have taught them:
In the middle of these seven circles of hell stood Anatoly Chubais. He was in the middle of Russia's privatization effort which saw huge state assets sold for pennies on the dollar to oligarchs while Russian citizens were completely cheated of the shares they were promised, either through devaluation, fire-sale desperate unloading to raise cash (remember, many were starving), intransparent transactions, and sometimes disinformation and thuggery: False dates and places for sales were announced to conceal real ones. Thug vehicles sometimes blocked roads so no one could line up to buy the shares they were entitled to. It was that bad. Once again, Chubais was in the middle of it.
Chubais got  snared in a bribery scandal of Clintonian character - he was given a $90,000 book advance (huge sum in Russia at the time)  paid for by a murkily backed publisher (sound familiar?) which looked a lot like a disguised bribe or payoff. That caused a scandal and got him booted from his position as finance minister. He continued to tool around in cronyish business deals and retained the good opinion of Harvard as a 'reformer,' which was quite a node of Clinton loyalists - Larry Summers, being one, John Podesta being on friendly terms with the crowd, too, by making speeches there.
Book deals. The way to get rich upon leaving public office, just as congressional insiders make themselves rich in public office by trading on insider information, as described by Peter Schweizer in "Throw Them All Out."
There are a hundred ways to Sunday for politicians to get rich both in and out of public office. As the Democrat House now focuses on impeaching President Trump, their hypocrisy is pretty glaring. Obama's book deals are what need investigating, not President Trump's bid to halt corruption in Ukraine.

Obama Seeks Brother of "Chicago Mob Boss" for Top White House Post

The roaches and con-artist, fake journalist on cable news are all 

lying about William Daley being all this and all that, this man is an 

open borders, down with America, free trade globalist.  MSNBC and

Gretta "the Scientology" Van Susteren from Fox News are knowingly 

deceiving the public about D. Issa & his letter to "business 

owners"=which they made into such a BIG DAM DEAL, but no one 

says anything when Barrack Hussein Obama, comes around with all 

of these shady bankers, hedge fund managers and Wall St. Tycoons,

which he puts in his cabinet.  All of Obama's meeting 

with Wall Street asking, "What can I do for 

you?" is never something covered by Keith 

Oberman or Rachel Maddow.

(Bloomberg) -- President Barack Obama is considering naming William Daley, a JPMorgan Chase & Co. executive and former U.S. Commerce secretary, to a high-level administration post, possibly White House chief of staff, people familiar with the matter said.


BOOK
Obamanomics: How Barack Obama Is Bankrupting You and Enriching His Wall Street Friends, Corporate Lobbyists, and Union Bosses

BY TIMOTHY P CARNEY
Editorial Reviews
Obama Is Making You Poorer—But Who’s Getting Rich?
Goldman Sachs, GE, Pfizer, the United Auto Workers—the same “special interests” Barack Obama was supposed to chase from the temple—are profiting handsomely from Obama’s Big Government policies that crush taxpayers, small businesses, and consumers. In Obamanomics, investigative reporter Timothy P. Carney digs up the dirt the mainstream media ignores and the White House wishes you wouldn’t see. Rather than Hope and Change, Obama is delivering corporate socialism to America, all while claiming he’s battling corporate America. It’s corporate welfare and regulatory robbery—it’s Obamanomics.
Congressman Ron Paul says, “Every libertarian and free-market conservative needs to read Obamanomics.” And Johan Goldberg, columnist and bestselling author says, “Obamanomics is conservative muckraking at its best and an indispensable field guide to the Obama years.”
If you’ve wondered what’s happening to America, as the federal government swallows up the financial sector, the auto industry, and healthcare, and enacts deficit exploding “stimulus packages,” this book makes it all clear—it’s a big scam. Ultimately, Obamanomics boils down to this: every time government gets bigger, somebody’s getting rich, and those somebodies are friends of Barack. This book names the names—and it will make your blood boil.

Investigative reporter Timothy P. Carney digs up the dirt the mainstream media ignores and the White House wishes you wouldn’t see. Rather than Hope and Change, Obama is delivering corporate socialism to America, all while claiming he’s battling corporate America. It’s corporate welfare and regulatory robbery—it’s Obamanomics. In this explosive book, Carney reveals:

* The Great Health Care Scam—Obama’s backroom deals with drug companies spell corporate profits and more government control
* The Global Warming Hoax—Obama has bought off industries with a pork-filled bill that will drain your wallet for Al Gore’s agenda

* Obama and Wall Street—“Change” means 

more bailouts and a heavy Goldman Sachs 

presence in the West Wing (including Rahm

Emanuel)

* Stimulating K Street—The largest spending bill in history gave pork to the well-connected and created a feeding frenzy for lobbyists
* How the GOP needs to change its tune—drastically—to battle Obamanomics
Praise for Obamanomics

“The notion that ‘big business’ is on the side of the free market is one of progressivism’s most valuable myths. It allows them to demonize corporations by day and get in bed with them by night. Obamanomics is conservative muckraking at its best. It reveals how President Obama is exploiting the big business mythology to undermine the free market and stick it to entrepreneurs, taxpayers, and consumers. It’s an indispensable field guide to the Obama years.”
—Jonha Goldberg, LA Times columnist and best-selling author

“‘Every time government gets bigger, somebody’s getting rich.’ With this astute observation, Tim Carney begins his task of laying bare the Obama administration’s corporatist governing strategy, hidden behind the president’s populist veneer. This meticulously researched book is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand how Washington really works.”
—David Freddoso, best-selling author of The Case Against Barack Obama

“Every libertarian and free-market conservative who still believes that large corporations are trusted allies in the battle for economic liberty needs to read this book, as does every well-meaning liberal who believes that expansions of the welfare-regulatory state are done to benefit the common people.”
—Congressman Ron Paul

“It’s understandable for critics to condemn President Obama for his ‘socialism.’ But as Tim Carney shows, the real situation is at once more subtle and more sinister. Obamanomics favors big business while disproportionately punishing everyone else. So-called progressives are too clueless to notice, as usual, which is why we have Tim Carney and this book.”

BARACK OBAMA AND HIS BANKSTER 

INFESTED ADMIN ORCHESTRATED THE

GREATEST TRANSFER OF WEALTH TO 

THE RICH IN AMERICAN HISTORY!




A new Gilded Age has emerged in America — a 21st century version.


The wealth of the top 1% of Americans has grown dramatically in the past four decades, squeezing both the middle class and the poor. This is in sharp contrast to Europe and Asia, where the wealth of the 1% has grown at a more constrained pace.


"Shame on Michelle and Barack Obama. They have the money and profile to make an important statement on this issue, but they obviously prefer to live in overwhelmingly white neighborhoods."

Did I mention that Michelle and Barry just purchased a $15 million estate in Martha’s Vineyard, which is 95 percent white?

Oh, and did I mention the Obamas own a second home, an $8 million mansion, in the exclusive DC neighborhood of Kalorama, which is 80 percent white and just four percent black.

Oh, and did I mention the Obamas have a third home, a $5.3 million mansion, in Rancho Mirage, California, which is 89 percent white and just 2.6 percent black.

Oh, sure, the Obamas still own their Chicago home in Hyde Park, which is at least 26 percent black. But you would think they could do better than 26 percent!

Pad fit for a president! Barack and Michelle Obama buy the $11.75 million seven-bedroom Martha's Vineyard home they fell in love with after renting it last summer

  • The 29-acre estate includes a 6,900sq ft house with seven bedrooms and nine bathrooms 

  • Built in 2001, it also has a pool, chef's kitchen, outdoor fireplace, two guest wings, and a large sundeck 

  • Last year, the Obamas sold their summer home on the island for $15 million, having spent seven out of eight summers there while Barack was President

The Obamas are likely celebrating as they have closed the deal on a massive seven-bedroom mansion on Martha's Vineyard.
The former President and First Lady received the keys to their new mega-home which occupies 29 acres of beachfront property.
The couple have been eyeing up the property since staying there last summer after it was put on the market by Celtics owner Wyc Grousbeck.

The house was originally listed for $14,850,000 but TMZ reports the Obamas managed to obtain a huge discount and secured the 6,900sq ft home for $11.75 million.
The enormous property has a swimming pool, outdoor fire pit and vaulted ceilings. 
The are also two wings which run from the main house which is perfect to host guests. 
Outdoors, the land comes with its own private beach, a boathouse and has plenty of land if the Obama's were hoping to expand.  
'It's a remarkable home on an absolutely gorgeous setting,' listing agent Tom Wallace previously said 'privacy is a key feature of the property.
The Obamas won't be the first Presidential family to buy up on the Massachusetts Island. Jackie Kennedy-Onassis kept a home there until her death in 1994, and the summer resort was popular with the whole Kennedy dynasty

'It certainly has the capacity to expand to more of a compound. One could build two additional full-size properties if one wanted to create a generational meeting place' he added.   
Their new home is on the edge of Edgartown Great Pond, with views of the Atlantic Ocean. 
It features predominantly white interiors but is surrounded by emerald-green lawns. 
Michelle and Barack will have a lot of space to relax, as the master bedroom opens up to a sundeck, while their daughters will have plenty of room to enjoy long summer breaks there.
