Talking About the Thing Twitter Won't Let You Talk About (VIDEO)
Shh. Don't tell Jack. But on this episode of the American Truth Project, I join Barry Nussbaum to discuss that thing involving a presidential candidate's son that you're not allowed to talk about.
But it rhymes with "punter", "hidin'" and "mop".

It's getting weird out there in these dog days of the Democratic presidential nomination race ahead of the Big One in 2020.
Departing from his nonstop praise for President Obama, former vice president Joe Biden came up with this doozy in his interview with the New York Times. Here's the money quotes picked out by Breitbart:
Former Vice President Joe Biden admitted "a lot of people were left behind" during his and President Barack Obama's tenure in the White House.
Biden, who has pitched himself as the only Democrat capable of winning back the white working class in 2020, made the admission when being interviewed for a profile in The New York Times that was published on Tuesday.
"A lot of people were left behind," the frontrunner said when discussing the Obama administration's efforts to combat the recession. "In areas where people were hard hit, I don't think we paid enough attention to their plight."
So some kind of reality has dawned on him. He's noticed the Obama-era meth addicts and hollowed out cities, made that way by the Obama "you didn't build that" agenda, but not quite enough to recognize that a large portion of Trump voters were actually well educated.
None of this makes Biden look like someone you'd like to elect president.
Three possibilities are there for what is going on.
One, Biden has cut ties with President Obama and no longer expects to get that prized, coveted endorsement from him. He's been sucking up for months for it, and all signs point instead to Obama tilting toward Kamala Harris. The fact that Obama failed to endorse Biden at this point, after all those years of faithful service, was quite a slap in the face for loyal old Joe, who stood at Obama's side no matter what he did. These Biden remarks suggest that maybe he's realized this and is distancing himself, even as the Breitbart report noted that he tried to soften the blame. Nope, blame is blame, even with sugarcoating.
Two, Biden is trying to draw negative attention to Obama...to deflect from all the stuff he didn't bother to do. According to Breitbart:
Despite the confession, Biden stopped short of laying the culpability on Obama. Instead, he claimed the president and others were preoccupied by more pressing issues during their eight years in office.
"Everything landed on the president's desk but locusts," Biden said in describing the early days of the administration. He added that Obama was so busy he "didn't have time to breathe."
The former vice president attributed the "lack of messaging" and Obama's reluctance to "promote his successes."
Obama was busy? Where the heck was Joe, then? Vice presidents are supposed to be there to do all the work the president can't do, such as go to funerals. Biden declaring Obama busy only raises the question about what Biden was doing. Was he doing anything at all — other than meddling in the internal affairs of Ukraine in the name of business deals? Biden, like Obama, had his priorities — and helping deplorables wasn't one of them. So now he's trying to pin the whole thing on Obama.
Third, it may just signal that Biden doesn't have a strategy at all, just bits and pieces and parts and particles, and he likes the sound of his voice to interviewers. He's popping off and doing gaffes. He doesn't recognize that what he's saying is damaging to him because of what it reveals. What could it reveal? That he's bitter at Obama, that he was a lazy, shiftless, do-nothing vice president, that he doesn't know what he's talking about. What a picture of incompetence.
There aren't any other scenarios. Biden's remarks on this, after years of effusive praise of the Obama years, is some kind of truth coming out. Truth is not going to help old Joe.

The Bidens Got Into the Hospital Business and People Died
There wasn’t enough money for medication, tests, or sterilizing instruments, but lots of money for the Bidens.
Daniel Greenfield, a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the Freedom Center, is an investigative journalist and writer focusing on the radical Left and Islamic terrorism.
The old slogan, "The Best of Care" can still be found on Ellwood City Medical Center's old promotional materials. When the pandemic began, the old rural Rust Belt country where President Trump beat Hillary Clinton could have used a hospital. Any hospital.
There was even talk of reopening the defunct hospital again to treat coronavirus patients.
But, like so much in Pennsylvania, the Ellwood City Medical Center never recovered from the Democrats. The FBI raided it in January and the hospital lost its license next month. Not that it mattered at that point because the hospital had already been shut down since December.
Despite that, the hospital managed to score $1.8 million in coronavirus relief funds.
With no hospital, local residents face a trip if they’re injured. And if the injury is bad enough, they might not survive. The closed hospital in Pennsylvania is just another piece of the Biden legacy.
In the three years since Americore CEO Grant White was allegedly introduced by James Biden to Joe Biden at a fundraiser for the Beau Biden Foundation, a charity co-chaired by Hunter Biden whose laptop bearing the foundation's sticker is at the center of a new scandal, there have been lawsuits, an FBI raid, and investigations in different cities and states.
“James Biden mentioned that his brother’s connections to labor unions and the Department of Veterans Affairs would help DMM expand its model nationwide,” a lawsuit filed by one company claims.
Mayor Anthony Court, a Democrat, recalls White constantly dropping Biden's name.
White would later claim that Biden told him, "there’s not a single door in the country that we can’t open."
James Biden, Joe’s brother, had become a principal at Americore whose business model was based on buying and turning around rural hospitals. But the turnaround was into the grave.
Obamacare had hit rural hospitals hard, forcing many of them to shut down. By Obama’s last year in office, 4% of rural hospitals had closed down, and hundreds more were on the brink. And the Bidens had figured out a way to profit from the devastation caused by Obama-Biden.
"His brother was very interested in rural health care and very interested in veterans’ health care, and it was something he really wanted to get behind," an Americore executive recalled Biden telling him. "This would help his brother get elected."
After Americore took over the Ellwood City Medical Center, it racked up over 40 citations from the Department of Health. Cardiovascular services were cut, the wound unit was closed, and access to its MRI machines was sidelined.
In 2018, James Biden was renovating his Americore office and demanding expensive furniture as part of an office that was described as a “little shrine to him and his brother and Obama.”
Utilities threatened to turn off the gas and the water at Ellwood. Instruments weren’t being sterilized because there was no equipment, and the hospital couldn’t even afford to order tests.
Things got so bad at the hospital that hazardous waste was just piling up in garbage bags.
Hospital patients might have been able to get basic care and supplies, but the money wasn’t there. Meanwhile, James Biden had allegedly made off with $650,000.
According to the Americore CEO, “Jim Biden directed me to loan him approximately $400,000 of this money for him to use to repay a past-due personal loan.”
Later, "Biden took additional amounts totaling approximately $250,000."
That was in January 2018. By the summer, Ellwood was closing departments, and by the fall, it couldn’t pay its power or gas bill. Meanwhile Biden only allegedly paid back $25,000.
James Biden had promised that the money would be coming from the Muslim world.
Biden and his partners had allegedly gone to the Qatar Investment Authority, the Islamic terror state that acts as the patron for the Muslim Brotherhood, controls Al Jazeera, whose royal family had ties to the mastermind of 9/11, and which is allied with Iran, for money for Americore.
But Qatar didn’t pay up and James Biden and his partners denied ever taking the meeting. The Americore CEO claims he was told that President Trump’s sanctions on Iran blocked the deal.
The former Americore CEO also claims to have met with Hunter and James Biden at a meeting that looked for ways to raise money from China.
“We've got people all around the world who want to invest in Joe Biden,” James Biden had once boasted. There’s no denying that. How else could a college dropout and failed nightclub owner be in demand around the world, or help score a billion dollar contract to build homes in Iraq?
Together James and Hunter Biden had built a business around Joe Biden. But what happened in Pennsylvania, in St. Louis, and Arkansas ended with more than greed.
St. Alexius Hospital in St. Louis had become famous as the scene of a forties exorcism that had inspired the novel and the movie, The Exorcist, but there was no one to exorcise the Bidens.
The famous hospital is another of the failed Americore properties and as it crawled agonizingly through bankruptcy, "two preventable deaths" were among the casualties. Like Ellwood, St. Alexius had to cut patient care, sacrificing its operating room, and its wound care clinic.
The hospital’s nursing school shut down and the facility was down to four contracted nurses and was operating at a fraction of its capacity.
The victims of the disaster were the largely black residents of the south St. Louis neighborhood.
St. Alexius, which began as a Catholic hospital in 1828, is now being used to house the homeless, and its bankruptcy sale has been stalled because of a state investigation triggered by an “immediate patient jeopardy” tag.
In Izard County, Arkansas, the only hospital in the county, listed as a critical access hospital, is also on the chopping block.
"We have difficulty in securing pharmaceuticals simply because of lack of money," a doctor at the hospital warned.
Last year, two medical firms sued, among others, James Biden, claiming that, "millions of dollars in funds may have been taken by these defendants outside of the ordinary course of business."
One of the men claimed that James Biden had promised to sell the plan to the White House. Instead Biden accidentally texted him a plan to defraud him even as Biden's partner was encouraging him to make up numbers to defraud a Turkish company.
Another partner was promised that their “model would be used by Joe Biden as part of his campaign.”
The “investment capital originating from and flowing through foreign entities” did not materialize, neither did Biden’s alleged promise that the company’s model “would play an integral role in health care policy at the highest levels of the United States government.”
When there were concerns about the government, the message was, “Jim told me. Don’t worry every time someone threatens to sue you you’re with us now nobody is gonna touch You,”
After they sued Biden and his partners, they received an envelope filled with "blood-stained currency from a Middle Eastern country" linked to terrorists and a "torture ticket" resulting in an FBI investigation.
But the real price is being paid in Ellwood City, in St. Louis, and Izard County.
Joe Biden has run on a promise to tackle the pandemic. But when coronavirus cases shot up 40% in Lawrence County over the summer, the Ellwood City Medical Center wasn’t there.
New cases have been rising sharply in Izard County and in St. Louis, there is one hospital less able to help and treat the sick.
“All the promises were on the Biden name,” one of the men James Biden dealt with said.
James Biden has moved on and as his brother aspires to the White House, has no doubt found new investors who “who want to invest in Joe Biden”, but in a place without a hospital, no one can move on. And when Election Day comes to Pennsylvania, that’s one place Biden won’t win.
The next time Joe Biden promises to fix healthcare, he can start in Ellwood City.
"How Are You Getting Away With This?" Jim Biden: "Plausible Deniability"
One big question stemming from the Hunter Biden fallout was just how insulated was Joe Biden from his son and brother's business dealings?
We've seen messages indicating that code names were used, "Big Guy" and "Chairman" to refer to Joe Biden. Tony Bobulinski, the former CEO picked by both men, had confirmed that these were ways to refer to Joe Biden.
We've also seen a message stating that the level of paranoia was such that Joe Biden's name could only be mentioned face to face. That was certainly convenient.
In Tony Bobulinski's latest interview, he discusses his two meetings with Joe Biden that seem to have followed the usual pattern of the Biden clan, an introduction to Joe to show off their connection, but without the truly bottom line discussions, while Hunter and Jim would in the future relay messages from the Big Guy or the Chairman.
Plausible deniaiblity. Literally.
Bobulinski recalled bringing up his concerns with Jim Biden the following day after his meeting with the former vice president that their business dealings with the Chinese could impact his brother’s 2020 presidential aspirations.
“I know Joe decided not to run in 2016, but what if he ran in the future? Aren’t they taking political risk or headline risk? And I remember looking at Jim Biden and saying, ‘How are you guys getting away with this? Like, aren’t you concerned?'”
“And he certainly looked at me and he laughed a little bit and said, ‘plausible deniability.'” Bobulinski said.
The plausible deniability covered Joe Biden, which means he was hanging his brother and son out to dry. The setup protected Joe's political career, because it brought in the money, while leaving Jim and Hunter with no protection. It's strikingly cynical. But that's the Biden crime family.

Hunter Biden Chaired a Foundation to Stop Child Abuse, While Engaging In It
Who’s going to protect the children from the Bidens?
Daniel Greenfield, a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the Freedom Center, is an investigative journalist and writer focusing on the radical Left and Islamic terrorism.
The Hunter Biden laptop at the center of the political scandal had a sticker on it with the name of the Beau Biden Foundation. The sticker has been widely reported, but not its full name.
The full name of the foundation named after Joe Biden’s son and Hunter Biden’s brother is the Beau Biden Foundation for the Protection of Children. It’s both tragic and disgusting then that Rudy Giuliani has alleged that the laptop contained material involving underage girls.
It’s unclear if the Hunter Biden laptop actually belonged to the Beau Biden Foundation, but the The Mac Shop, at the center of the story, is in Wilmington, as is the Beau Biden Foundation. It’s a short drive down the 202 from the physical address of the foundation at the University of Delaware Law School to the Trolley Square address of the shop where the laptop ended up.
Earlier this year, the Beau Biden Foundation was one of the beneficiaries of grants from the Delaware COVID-19 Strategic Response Fund. The Biden foundation had received a $22,000 grant to provide "virtual training" to protect children from abuse. That is the sort of thing that the foundation, co-chaired by Hunter Biden and other Biden family members, does.
The Beau Biden Foundation for the Protection of Children claims that its mission is protecting children from child abuse, especially over the internet. It runs workshops, distributes ebooks, and offers training sessions to prevent children from being groomed by abusers online.
It’s deeply troubling then that Hunter Biden had apparently been accused of doing just that.
In one of the messages allegedly exchanged between Joe Biden and his son, the Democrat presidential candidate asks his son, “This is [redacted 14-year-old girl] right.”
“She told my therapist that I was sexually inappropriate with [redacted girl] when she says that I facetime naked with her and the reason I can’t have her out to see me is because I’ll walk around naked smoking crack talking [redacted] girls on face time,” Hunter replied.
Meanwhile the Beau Biden Foundation was offering lessons on how to spot online predators.
Some have speculated that this refers to Hallie Biden's daughter. Hallie Biden, a fellow co-chair of the foundation, was also Beau's widow and had been in a relationship with Hunter. If so this would have been a devastating indictment of the foundation’s leadership which was charging $3,000 for lessons on preventing online child abuse while its board members were involved in it.
“As adults, we have a legal and moral obligation to stand up and speak out for children who are being abused.These children cannot speak for themselves,” Beau Biden once allegedly said.
The quote decorates much of the Beau Biden Foundation’s material.
Perhaps Beau would have wanted someone to speak out if his daughter were endangered.
If Hunter Biden was privately being accused of creating “a very unsafe environment for the kids” and of exposing himself to an underage girl, this should have been made public to warn others, instead of concealing the information for years until the laptop with its Beau Biden Foundation sticker, featuring an angel’s wing (t-shirts with the logo are available for $20 bucks), went public.
The Beau Biden Foundation offers "youth-serving organizations" a $3,000 "Shield of Protection" program which claims to train staff how to be "Stewards of Children®", stop grooming, as well as "Recognizing and Reporting Child Abuse." The latter, a $500 workshop, deals with, among other things, mandatory reporting statutes. Were the allegations against Beau ever reported?
If the allegations are true, then the Beau Biden Foundation leaders needed that training.
It might have been a better investment of their time than the foundation's annual Child Protection Classic golf game at the Wilmington Country Club for only $650 per golfer.
Playing golf doesn’t stop child abuse. Reporting child abusers and locking them up does.
A scandal affecting the Beau Biden Foundation doesn’t just stop there.
Beyond the various Biden family members, the foundation's board also included Tony Allen, the president of Delaware State University, a former Biden speechwriter and special assistant, as well as a member of Biden's Transition Team.
Also on the board is former FBI director Louis Freeh who had also been recruited by Hunter Biden to work on the case of a Romanian businessman convicted of fraud, while Joe Biden was pressuring the Romanian government to fight “corruption”. Biden’s former staffer had been appointed as ambassador and Beau had cut the ribbon for the new embassy.
Joshua Alcorn, the Chief Operating Officer at the Beau Biden Foundation, had been a senior adviser for Draft Biden, and had worked on Biden's previous presidential campaign.
The Beau Biden Foundation, like everything involving the Biden family, is a snapshot of Bidenworld: the political and personal associations mixing together in inseparable ways.
And that may have made the alleged misconduct by Hunter Biden impossible to police.
Beau was the "good son". The elder son who was being groomed to carry on the Biden political clan's fortunes. At the Democratic National Convention, after Obama had picked his father as his second, it was Beau who introduced him. A year earlier, Beau had become Delaware's Attorney General, and held the position for 8 years.
Delaware's legal community is littered with his associates.
When Giuliani turned over the laptop to Delaware authorities, the office of Delaware Attorney General Kathy Jennings quickly announced that it was passing it on to the FBI.
Jennings had worked under Beau Biden and is campaigning for Joe Biden, had posted, "I’ve known Joe, Jill, and the Biden family for most of my life."
Patricia Lewis, the Executive Director of the Beau Biden Foundation, had been a Deputy Attorney General until she retired the same year that Beau Biden did.
Delaware is a small state and its political class is a good deal smaller. How much did the board members of the Beau Biden Foundation know about what the laptop might contain? Were any of them aware that even while the foundation was soliciting and obtaining coronavirus grant funds to protect children from online abuse, its co-chair may have been accused of abuse?
Like so many questions about the Bidens, they will neither be asked nor answered.
Meanwhile, even while a laptop from its co-chair containing alleged photos of underage girls with its sticker on it was submitted to the authorities, the Beau Biden Foundation goes on promising to protect children. But who’s going to protect the children from the Bidens?
Can the Biden campaign last one more week?
The Biden laptop scandal is the biggest October surprise in modern political history. The Biden campaign is in crisis -- and it could, and should, cost him the election.
No longer is Biden the “sweet old Uncle Joe” of days gone by. While the 77-year-old seems more genteel at times than the 74-year-old tough-talking Trump, this isn’t about Trump being “bad” and Biden being “better.” This is about Biden’s very big crisis -- a crisis he cannot dismiss by calling it “garbage,” “a smear,” or “a set-up.”
In the midst of a bitter faceoff between President Donald Trump -- who’s kept his promises as president despite fierce Democratic opposition, protected religious freedom and constitutional rights -- and former Vice President Joe Biden, along comes unmistakable proof that the Bidens have been involved in a deceptive web that includes selling influence and enriching the family. Americans now have a major reason not to vote for Joe Biden.
Never mind his problematic policies on gun control, the border, and energy. Americans don’t want the corrupt in power. It’s that simple. If Hillary Clinton’s foundation peddled access to her when she was secretary of state; this is much worse. How could a compromised Biden ever stand up to countries like China and Russia, which have already paid his family millions?
While the Biden campaign may seem steady, this growing crisis has shaken their foundation. While readers of my books know I’ve been a Trump supporter, I didn’t see all of this coming when I wrote “God, Trump, and the 2020 Election” before the primaries -- but this changes everything.
The proof of corruption is not only on Hunter Biden’s laptop. More allegations keep coming from former Biden business associates. Along with Hunter Biden’s drug abuse, pornography, and worse, evidence suggests he received $1.5 billion from China for a private equity firm and an 80 percent equity stake in CEFC, the China energy company. Emails also allegedly detail Joe Biden’s connection to the funds given his family. In one text to his daughter, Hunter Biden wrote that he’d been “paying” for everything for the family for 30 years, “but unlike Pop, I’m not going to ask you to kick back half your salary.”
Rudy Giuliani shared a screenshot of that text on Twitter. Giuliani, many will remember, served as U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York and had a record 4,152 convictions, including many related to organized crime. He called Biden “a decrepit little criminal.”
There’s more evidence against Biden. Meanwhile, the media continues to defend Biden without examining or even trying to examine the evidence. This is the same media that published numerous unverified attacks on Trump by disgruntled and partisan “unnamed sources” and couldn’t say the word “impeachment” enough.
It gets worse. When Big Tech entities like Twitter and Facebook ban even the dissemination of the Biden laptop story because it looks bad for their guy, think what they will do to conservative ideas if Biden ever gets elected. It would be far worse than Orwell’s 1984 ever depicted.
It will take time to sort through all the damning information on multiple laptops to see if criminal charges will be brought over possible bribes of foreign agents, or worse. And the laptop is now said to be connected to an FBI money laundering inquiry. In the meantime, we have an election -- and the future of America is at stake.
There are many other reasons not to vote for Biden -- including the lackluster campaign he’s run and the fact that he’s a serial plagiarist. But for anyone still on the fence, it’s time to see the light. This is beyond personality. This is beyond policy. This is about raw, base corruption. If even 10 percent of the laptop stories are true, it’s enough to keep Joe Biden from the presidency.
If you’re stuck on Trump’s rough-around-the-edges personality, then vote against political corruption -- and the scary mindset of the Deep State and the media “elites” that this Biden scandal should be censored or set aside.
It’s a very big deal. Biden cannot be trusted. We are better than this. America deserves better.

How can any Democrat call Joe Biden the 'moral' candidate with a straight face?
For four years, we have listened to liberals attack Donald Trump for every word uttered, tweet sent, and policy implemented, no matter the substance. With complete indifference if not outright disdain for every accomplishment from Middle East peace to a record-breaking economy, Trump can do no right in the eyes of liberals. And in addition to his physical appearance and strong personality, many of them complain about his lack of morals. With a straight face, liberals tell you they are voting for Biden to bring morality back to the White House.
This is truly one of the fascinating aspects of Trump Derangement Syndrome. These same individuals cheered on eight years of an Obama/Biden administration that abused all aspects of the Executive Branch's authority to push through their agenda, quash and silence dissent by individuals and organizations with whom they disagreed, and undermine the smooth transition of power for their successors. Their methods included weaponizing the alphabet city of agencies including the FBI, CIA, NSA, IRS, CFPB, DOE, and DOJ; spying on their enemies; and framing and prosecuting innocent people, from the Benghazi filmmaker to Michael Flynn. But please, let's bring back this morality.
The list of Obama/Biden scandals is lengthy. It includes the Fast and Furious gun-running fiasco, which resulted in lost American lives (for which Eric Holder was held in contempt of Congress); spying on journalists, including AP and Fox News reporters; weaponizing the IRS to selectively target conservative groups; the Benghazi tragedy resulting in the death of Americans, including a U.S. ambassador, together with the accompanying lies in its aftermath; Hillary Clinton's secret server; the NSA spying scandal; the Bowe Bergdahl prisoner swap; the Iran nuclear deal passed with lies and the use of the "media echo chamber"; the V.A. scandal; and the use of a government shutdown to hurt Americans — to name a few.
The biggest scandal is the way that the Obama/Biden administration used the Deep State, including the FBI and NSA, to attempt to bring down Trump. Never, in the history of our country, has a sitting president prevented a smooth transition of power for his successor in the hopes of seeing him impeached, prevented from governing efficiently and effectively, and embarrassed on the world stage, the cost to the country be damned. Some morality.
BLOG EDITOR: OBOMB AND PELOSI LIED THAT OBAMACARE DID NOT INCLUDE ILLEGALS. IT DOES!
Obama/Biden also enacted legislation that was not supported by more than half of the country while lying about it. Not one Republican voted for Obamacare. Nancy Pelosi declared that it needed to be passed in order for the American people to learn what was in it. Obama lied and promised that we could keep our insurance and our doctors. Millions of Americans lost both.
The Iran nuclear deal was as much of a fiasco as the ACA, with Ben Rhodes proudly declaring that their lies to the American public were being promoted through a media echo chamber, where reporters just repeated what the administration told them. The JCPOA would have never passed as a treaty in Congress, so Obama just went ahead with it anyway. He proudly declared that he would use his pen and his phone to govern if he was not successful in bullying Congress into submission, and that is exactly what he did.
Liberals now want to go back to those days by electing the second-in-command during those eight years, who we're now learning is possibly more corrupt than Hillary Clinton. While we do not have all of the details of what Biden knew and how extensively he was involved with his family's abuse of his political power, we do know that Biden has been a pathological liar (and plagiarist) his entire career and that we cannot trust a word out of his mouth. Yet the Hunter Biden emails, substantiated by no fewer than three individuals to date, are just noise to be ignored, lest the Democrats' "moral" guy lose to that horrible oaf occupying the White House.
What is astonishing is how easily Trump-haters overlook in Biden the exact traits they say they hate about Trump. We need morality back in the White House, yet Trump-haters are praying for a guy who lies and is corrupt, making millions from foreign entities while in and out of office. They fantasize that Trump is in bed with Putin and ignore that Biden is actually very well likely in bed with Xi and other foreign leaders whom his son has been conducting business with under the auspices of the Biden family name.
Trump-haters claim he's a racist who supports white supremacists, yet Biden continually makes racist comments, was even accused by his running mate of being a racist, and has supported and praised racists (and anti-Semites) for decades. They demand that Trump denounce white supremacists and neo-Nazis, which he has done over and over again, but have no problem when Biden refuses to denounce Antifa.
The hypocrisy abounds. Christine Blasey Ford, who had not one witness to back her story up, was to be believed during the Kavanaugh hearings, yet Tara Reade, who accused Biden of sexual assault and who had witnesses that support her story, is a liar not to be believed.
Trump-haters dislike Trump so much that they are willing to trade a booming and deregulated economy, lower taxes, energy independence, rewritten trade agreements, law and order, a stronger military, peace in the Middle East, patriotism, and so many positive Trump policies and sentiments for a corrupt old man who is surrounded by socialists, leeches, and America-haters because he's supposedly moral. But we know he is not, so do Trump-haters lie to themselves or just to the rest of us about morality?
Put aside how utterly incompetent Biden is, how he suffers from serious mental decline, how his foreign policy decisions have been wrong for four decades, how he has no real accomplishment that stands out in his 47 years in public life other than winning elections (and lining his pockets and those of his family), and how he will irreversibly transform the country if he wins and the Democrats win the Senate. Put aside how he strokes young girls while smelling their hair and whispering sweet nothings into their ears; how he berates voters, calling them ludicrous names like "lying dog-faced pony soldier"; and how he can't remember if he's running for the presidency or Senate or which state he's in.
How do his supporters say with a straight face that they're voting for Biden to bring morality back to Washington? That is simply an absurd statement, and Biden voters deserve what they get if he wins. Unfortunately, the rest of us will be stuck paying a steep price — literally — for their ignorant belief that they're bringing morality back with Joe Biden.

Rudy Giuliani lays out the case against Joe Biden
We’ve long known that Joe Biden made sure that his family profited from his time in politics. He was just “good ole Joe” while they were raking in millions of dollars. It seemed strangely altruistic. However, what we’ve learned from only the small release of information on the Hunter Biden computer and Tony Bobulinski’s statements, is that Joe Biden wasn’t just a benevolent corrupt politician – he was on the take, using his family as middlemen.
Of course, the story is complicated. If it had been simple, Biden would have been run out of politics a long time ago, even by his fellow Democrats. I know Rudy Giuliani has expounded on the information in various interviews and his video channel. However, most interviews are too short, and I find his podcasts a little too long and detailed because each episode breaks things down issue-by-issue.
As far as I’m concerned, Giuliani’s best prosecutorial narration shows up on an interview he did with Dan Bongino on Thursday. Bongino gives him all the time he needs to make the case but also asks the right questions to elucidate issues that may be confusing and to give a bit more structure to the narrative:
Also, there are two other excellent interviews on the video, with Robert Cahaly of the Trafalgar Group and Steve Cortes.
The Cahaly interview is the right length to give a strong overview without drowning the listener in detail. The gist of the Cahaly segment is that Trump is making a strong showing in states he needs to win.
As in 2016, Trump is again bringing out people who don’t ordinarily vote. Even better, it appears that these people, if they make an effort to vote, will also vote for down-ballot Republican candidates. This is good news for Republicans such as Martha McSally, who are in very close races. There’s a bit of a flip in Michigan: John James is such a strong candidate for the Senate that Trump might benefit from his coattails.
Trump’s campaign spokesman, Steve Cortes, makes similar points, except that he’s speaking from inside the campaign. It’s all very interesting
Most of you have figured out that I’m a big Dan Bongino fan. He is extremely good at simplifying complex factual situations without dumbing them down. This means he’s also a good interviewer because he asks the questions ordinary people would want to ask to understand the person he’s interviewing.
So, if you want a powerful overview of how deeply wrong Biden’s conduct was, listen to the interview with Giuliani. If you want to understand why the big polling companies are almost certainly as wrong this time as they were in 2016, listen to Robert Cahaly. And if you want to understand why Trump’s going around with a smile lately, listen to Steve Cortes.
Postscript: For another excellent overview, I suggest the Manhattan Contrarian’s article, “Biden Corruption: Trickle Of Information Becomes Flow Becomes Flood Becomes Avalanche.”

50. Barack Hussein Obama and Joe Biden: the most corrupt administration in American history
This list was amazingly easy to compile and nowhere near dispositive. I can come up with many, many more items to add to this list of shame. But this list should be persuasive enough to give anyone pause and provide a clear indication of the threat the modern left poses to the American way of life and our future as a free, secure, and prosperous society.
The unprincipled progressive politicians, the Marxist academics, the race-baiters, the anti-Trumpers, and the despicable media propagandists who constitute the modern left are selfishly pursuing a radical agenda intent on destroying America and its founding principles. This anti-American leftist agenda must be stopped and thoroughly discredited before real and irrevocable harm is done.
Left unchecked, the modern radical left is an existential threat to our safety, our prosperity, and our freedom. That means that the Wicked Witch of the West, Kamala Harris, and Swampy Joe, running as a "proud Democrat," must be defeated on November 3. Anything less and America as we know it is finished.
Fact Check: 19 False Claims in Barack Obama’s Speech for Joe Biden in Florida
President Barack Obama delivered a speech in Florida on behalf of Joe Biden’s presidential campaign on Saturday, in the course of which he stated at least nineteen false claims about President Donald Trump and his record.
From the transcript:
1. “He doesn’t have a plan” for coronavirus. Obama cited the presidential debate on Thursday. However, the president did, in fact, specifically mention Operation Warp Speed, his plan to develop and distribute a coronavirus vaccine quickly.
2. Trump couldn’t answer Leslie Stahl of 60 Minutes when she asked, “What’s your priority in your second term?” In fact, Trump answered her: “The priority now is to get back to normal, get back to where we were, to have the economy rage and be great with jobs and everybody be happy. And that’s where we’re going and that’s where we’re heading.”
3. “He doesn’t even acknowledge that there’s a problem” (i.e. coronavirus). This is obviously not true, and provably so. Trump even talked about coronavirus in his State of the Union address, which Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) ripped in two.
4. Trump said “if you put some bleach in you, that might clean things up.” Trump never said that. He mentioned new, experimental technologies in UV light, and also specifically said he was not talking about putting bleach inside anyone.
5. “America created 1.5 million more jobs in the last year of the Obama-Biden administration than in the first three years of the Trump-Pence administration.” Obama seems to be saying that more jobs were created in 2016 than in 2017, 2018, and 2019 combined, which is demonstrably untrue. New revisions earlier this year indicated that slightly more jobs were created in 2016 than in any particular subsequent year. However, seasonally adjusted data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics show that more people were employed in each of the first three years of Trump’s presidency than in Obama’s last. In addition, Trump faced a different task. It is arguably easier to add jobs in the early stages of a recovery than it is to add jobs during a recovery already eight years old. The Obama-Biden recovery was the slowest since the Second World War.
6. Black unemployment went down, but “not because Donald Trump did anything.” It is possible to credit several Trump policies with lowering black unemployment, especially immigration enforcement. A 2007 paper by the National Bureau of Economic Research noted: “immigration has more far-reaching consequences than merely depressing wages and lowering employment rates of low-skilled African-American males: its effects also appear to push some would-be workers into crime and, later, into prison.” Trump’s focus on domestic manufacturing capacity also arguably played a role.
7. “The only people truly better off than they were four years ago are the billionaires who got Trump tax cuts.” A Gallup poll recently found that 56% of registered voters said they were better off than they were four years ago, which is a record high. (That’s a lot of billionaires.) In fact, a majority of Americans received a tax cut from Trump’s 2017 tax law.
8. “He barely pays income taxes.” In fact, Trump pays tens of millions of dollars in taxes, despite losses in some years.
9. Trump has “secret Chinese bank accounts.” The Trump hotel chain used a legal bank account to pay taxes in China when it made licensing deals. It is not a personal account and the account has reportedly been inactive for five years.
10. “His first year in the White House he only paid $750 in federal income tax.” Trump paid over seven million dollars in taxes in 2017, but used a tax credit from an earlier year to pay it. Also, he donated his entire salary to the government.
11. Trump has no plan “when it comes to preexisting conditions.” The president has constantly promised to provide health insurance for people with pre-existing conditions; he issued an executive order laying out his plan in September.
12. Trump “drove up costs” under Obamacare. Actually, Obamacare premiums have been falling under Trump.
13. Trump said: “We hope the Supreme Court takes your health insurance away.” Trump never said that. He said he hoped the Supreme Court would end Obamacare (“I hope that they end it”), noting his desire to replace it with a better plan.
14. Trump is “MIA” when “Russia puts bounties on the heads of our brave soldiers in Afghanistan.” The Pentagon said that there was never “corroborating evidence” of a supposed Russian program to pay bounties for killing U.S. soldiers.
15. “Joe Biden would never call the men and women of our military suckers and losers.” Neither would Trump, because it never happened. Biden did call U.S. troops “stupid bastards,” however. (He claimed that he had been joking.)
16. Trump asked if we could “nuke hurricanes.” Even Snopes.com regards this claim as “unproven.” Obama also claimed that Trump had suggested selling Puerto Rico, which even the source for that claim says was never seriously considered.
17. Trump “cannot call out or even criticize white supremacists.” This divisive, false claim is also easily disproven.
18. Trump “threatens people with jail for just criticizing him.” This does not appear to have ever happened. Trump did threaten a reporter with prison time — after he defied instructions not to photograph a classified letter from Jim Kong-un. It was the Obama administration, that tried to prosecute journalist James Risen of the New York Times, and which jailed an obscure filmmaker after it blamed an obscure anti-Islamic YouTube video for the Benghazi terror attack in September 2012.
19. The EPA is “giving polluters free reign to dump unlimited poison into our air and water.” Demonstrably untrue. Obama delivered several other attacks on members of Trump’s Cabinet in the same vein (“declared war on workers” etc.).

U.S. presidential candidate Joe Biden is 100% controlled by the Chinese Communist Party as one of the most successful political instances of the BGY program.
As the San Francisco Chronicle noted, the Chinese spy on Feinstein’s staff for 20 years even attended Chinese Consulate functions for the senator, who has her own version of Hunter Biden. As Ben Weingarten reported in the Federalist in 2018, Feinstein’s husband Richard Blum has “profited handsomely from the greatly expanded China trade she supported.”
Forget the Hunter Biden sex tapes. The real news is much bigger than that.

GTV, a Chinese dissident billionaire’s Taiwan-based media outlet, is releasing sordid, depressing videos and photographs of a person purported to be Hunter Biden engaging in sex and seemingly smoking crack. That’s not the big news. The big news is that the same outlet claims that (a) Communist China owns Joe Biden; (b) Joe Biden sold out CIA assets in China who were then executed or imprisoned; and (c) GTV has millions of images showing other presumably influential people in comprising positions. If all this is true, we may see a complete realignment in Western politics.
The Hunter Biden videos and images are at GTV’s video site. I won’t give the link here because the material is pornographic. However, the following are two cropped pictures. In both, the person appearng to be Hunter is naked and with a woman. In the second picture, Hunter appears to be lighting a crack pipe while engaged in sexual activity with the woman:
What’s more interesting than the images themselves is the story behind them and the allegations included with them. Taiwan-based GTV and GNews, which published the material, are owned by Guo Wengui, a dissent Chinese billionaire.
Guo was born in mainland China and gained his wealth doing construction work. Eventually, he ran into trouble, and the Chinese government accused him of corruption. (The reality, of course, is that anyone who has become wealthy in China was corrupt.)
Guo escaped with his wealth to America. He is a fervent enemy of the Chinese Communist Party and has made it his mission to bring it down. One of his friends is Steve Bannon, with whose help he founded GTV and GNews. In June, Bannon joined with Guo to declare a “New Federal State of China” they hope will overthrow China’s communist government.
When the New York Post, on October 14, published its first report about Hunter Biden’s hard drive, that wasn’t the first time Hunter’s computer made the news. According to the Daily Beast, on September 25, a Guo-affiliated YouTube station uploaded a Chinese-language video announcing that Guo and Bannon had sent “sent three hard disks of evidence” to both the Justice Department and Nancy Pelosi.
Three days later, Himalaya Global, a movement that Guo and Bannon started, published a tweet making the same announcement, only adding that the disks created a “big money and sex scandal.” Twitter has since suspended the account, but the Daily Beast captured the contents:
When the Daily Beast wrote its October 16 article, it labeled the Guo outlet’s claims as “absurd on their face” and added that they showed “endless conspiracy theorizing….” Since then, revelations from the New York Post, Rudy Giuliani, Tony Bobulinski, and other anonymous sources have confirmed that Hunter’s hard drive had compromising financial information. Now, thanks to GTV’s videos and photos, it looks like Guo was also telling the truth about a sex scandal.
In other words, the allegations in the tweet about disks of evidence and financial and sex scandals appear true. That makes it possible, indeed probable, that the other allegation in the tweet is true: namely, that not only has the FBI had Hunter’s computers since December 2019, but also that both Nancy Pelosi and the DOJ have been sitting on the same information since September 28, 2020.
As if that’s not shocking enough, Guo’s outlets have made a few other staggering allegations. These allegations are scattered throughout the videos and summarized in this essay at GNews (emphasis mine):
This video shows only the tip of the iceberg of what is important in the Chinese Communist Party’s Blue-Gold-Yellow (BGY) program. They take advantage of all those Western politicians, celebrities, and their families who are greedy for Chinese wealth, and threaten them by getting hold of and recording their sex and drug videos, forcing them to sell out their countries and people, and even their own national security in order to cooperate with the Chinese Communist Party’s world domination.
U.S. presidential candidate Joe Biden is 100% controlled by the Chinese Communist Party as one of the most successful political instances of the BGY program. He is also a target of the CCP’s 3F plan, which aims to “fall, fail, and fell,” to weaken, destroy and kill America!
The Chinese Communist Party’s use of this tactic to threaten Biden and his sons and to bribe them with large amounts of wealth is one of the major causes of the disputes over the South China Sea, US-China trade, intellectual property rights, and energy prices, etc., as well as Biden’s provision of large numbers of CIA intelligence agents in China to the Chinese Communist Party.
The Chinese Communist Party has such a BGY program in the United States and in several Western countries in Europe. We will have millions of videos and photos of government officials, corrupt people, traitors, and criminals colluding with the Communist Party to dominate the world.
Again, merely because Guo’s outlets have been accurate about some things does not mean that the above allegations are true. However, the following three allegations, if true, are earth-shaking:
First: China has long owned Biden thanks to its having compromising information about his family (and possibly about him too).
Second: Biden identified CIA assets in China. The back story is that, between 2010 and 2012, China executed or imprisoned 18 to 20 assets who had bravely worked with the CIA, destroying a critical intelligence network.
Third: Guo’s outlets have “millions of videos and photos” of people who have worked with the Chinese against their own countries. If true, this implies that Guo managed to get into China’s “blackmail” database and can release that information.
If you thought Epstein’s secrets were big, these new claims, if true, could blow everything out of the water. I don’t think I’m exaggerating when I say that this information – again if it’s true – could realign politics in America and elsewhere.
The Biden Crisis
If you want to know why early voting stinks, the burgeoning Biden crisis should inform you. Estimates are that about 50 million Americans have voted, as of this writing. That’s before or as the gravest scandal in the history of presidential politics unfolds.
The allegations against Joe Biden are stunning. They involve corruption and the risk of treason. Influence-peddling with the Chinese, Russians, and Ukrainians, to the tune of multimillions of dollars pocketed by Biden and his family. The PRC, Putin, and others appear to have the goods on Biden. That makes the former vice president subject to blackmail.
At Thursday night’s presidential debate, NBC News’ Kristin Welker asked one softball question of Biden about the burgeoning scandal:
“Vice President Biden, there have been questions about the work your son has done in China and for a Ukrainian energy company when you were vice president. In retrospect, was anything about those relationships inappropriate or unethical?”
Biden responded, “Nothing was unethical.”
But the evidence of Biden’s treachery is trickling in, thanks to Hunter Biden’s laptop and the emails and texts of associates. If voters elect Joe Biden president, the nation lurches toward an unprecedented mega-crisis, the outcome of which is unpredictable, but most certainly hazardous to the nation’s health.
The latest explosive allegation is from a former Hunter Biden colleague, a guy named Tony Bobulinski. From the Epoch Times, October 22, 2020:
The email published by the Post details “remuneration packages” for several Hunter Biden associates, including “850” for Hunter Biden and “500,000” for “James,” an apparent reference to James Biden, the brother of former Vice President Joe Biden.
The message, written by Hunter Biden associate James Gilliar on May 13, 2017, goes on to detail “a provisional agreement that the equity be distributed as follows:
20 H
20 RW
20JG
20 TB
10 Jim
10 held by H for the big guy?”
Bobulinski said that the “big guy” in the email was a reference to Joe Biden, the current Democratic presidential nominee, while the “Jim” referred to James Biden, Joe Biden’s brother.
Imagine this horror show: On January 20, 2021, Joe Biden places his hand on a bible and is sworn in as the nation’s 46th president. But the evidence of wrongdoing continues to mount and is irrefutable. President Biden is terribly compromised. The Chinese, at will, can drop the most incriminating evidence of payoffs on an American president. The stakes for the U.S. are high. 
At risk: the status of the South China Sea as international waters, Taiwan’s independence, and trade protection for U.S. businesses and workers. Otherwise, America’s ability to work with and promote U.S. interests in concert with its allies and friends throughout Asia and across the globe -- destroyed.
Never before in U.S. history have we had a prospective president in such jeopardy. President Bill Clinton, to anyone’s knowledge, was never compromised in this way with America’s enemies -- and yes, the PRC is really a U.S. enemy. Putin, who’s no friend, doesn’t pose the existential threat to the U.S. that Xi Jinping does. Putin is principally an oligarch, seeking to enrich himself and his allies, seeking opportunities to gain leverage in that quest. Both are dangers to a vulnerable President Biden, but China is far worse.
While conservative news and alternative media outlets intrepidly expose Biden’s corruption and compromise, the mainstream media not only buries revelations of Biden’s perfidy, they dismiss honest efforts by the New York Post, Fox News, and others to get to the truth. Whatever the mainstream media’s sins, this will prove to be their greatest betrayal of a free press’s mission: root out wrongdoing wherever it’s found – particularly in the highest places -- inform citizens, and speak truth to power. When the full extent and depth of Biden’s corruption are understood by Americans, the mainstream news media will suffer a mortal wound.
Big Tech, which has been censoring conservatives on its platforms in the runup to the elections, has famously shutdown the New York Post’s coverage of Biden family corruption. There’s been blowback from conservatives, and Senate Republicans have voted to subpoena Jack Dorsey (Twitter) and Mark Zuckerberg (Facebook) to testify before Congress about their innocuously named “content-moderation practices.”
Both social media giants -- and YouTube -- have done their level best to censor speech about COVID -- when users’ opinions deviate from the narrative they’re hawking for Democrats. They’re now attempting to put a lid on the Biden scandal, hoping to run the clock until the polls close on November 3.
Not incidentally, Big Tech are also crossing their fingers for a Biden election, because a President Biden would squash any efforts to repeal social media’s Section 230 protection. Antitrust action against Big Tech? Forget it. Big Tech is an ally of Democrats and the left in wanting to restrict Americans’ freedoms. Watch in the coming months as Democrats and the left talk up the PRC’s social credit system, where “unacceptable” speech is censored, and behaviors monitored and penalized if deemed inappropriate.
Joe Biden flat-out lied about having no knowledge of his son’s Burisma dealings. Evidence is showing that the former vice president not only had knowledge of his son’s shady business activities, but played roles in those dealings. As the New York Post reported on October 14, 2020:
Hunter Biden introduced his father, then-vice president Joe Biden, to a top executive at a Ukrainian energy firm less than a year before the elder Biden pressured government officials in Ukraine into firing a prosecutor who was investigating the company, according to emails obtained by the Post.
Xi Jinping most certainly stands to lose. China, having unleashed the COVID virus on the world, and thanks to its exploitive trade practices, is finding U.S. public opinion sharply turning against it. Shady business deals with Hunter Biden and skims from those deals by the “Big Guy,” completely exposed, would strip any pretense about China’s intentions vis-Ã -vis the U.S. Powerful interests in the U.S. stand to lose big.
A final note. President Biden needn’t happen. Tens of millions of ballots remain to be cast. The mainstream media’s and Big Tech’s censorship of Biden scandal news is running smack against the “Streisand Effect.” Hiding news, in this instance, only makes people curious to learn about it. Help family, friends, and neighbors find the news about what is developing into the worst scandal in presidential election annals. Help reelect President Trump.

Maybe Hunter Biden's conscience is bothering him
Hunter Biden looks just awful in photos. It's written all over him that he knows he's a failure. It's his conscience plaguing him. In pics with Joe, he looks like a little boy preening for daddy's approval. Joe has no time for him, and that keeps Hunter always wagging his tail and looking up pleadingly for Daddy to pat him on the head or give him a biscuit.
Joe Biden hasn't just failed his constituents these 47 years. He failed as a father — big time. His boy is hamstrung because, it seems, he didn't get what every boy should get: the encouragement and affection of Dad. It builds self-assurance, the ability to make independent decisions confident in your own judgment, ability, and probity.
I'm no psychologist, but it seems clear that Hunter Biden has been crying out for absolution all these years. Abandoning that damning laptop was his final, desperate, hope-against-hope stab at getting the real help he needs, which is spiritual. He doesn't even consider it because the Catholicism he got from Dad isn't the brand of Catholicism that's going to do much good. It's phony, all for show, unserious, and he knows it.
If what we're hearing is even remotely true, Hunter has been seeking diversion in Chinese iterations of Epstein's Pedophile Isle. We watched the Kennedy boys do many of these same things, though without the conscience that bedevils Hunter. To allay it, he wades ever more deeply into depravity, seeking escape in dope and booze and illicit sex.
Disgusting. Revolting. Sickening. Horrifying.
Maybe somebody, somewhere on this earth has the humanity to pity the ruin of a human being that is Hunter Biden. I cannot.
Democrats Dodge the Real Reparations
How about all the damage caused by the China virus and Islamic terror?
Thu Oct 15, 2020
“As a nation, we can only truly thrive when every one of us has the opportunity to thrive. Our painful history of slavery has evolved into structural racism and bias built into and permeating throughout our democratic and economic institutions.”
That was California Gov. Gavin Newsom in a September 30 signing statement for Assembly Bill 3121 which “establishes a nine-member task force to inform Californians about slavery and explore ways the state might provide reparations.” For all its faults, California was never part of the Confederacy, and Californians might wonder about a stronger case for reparations from damages caused by the China virus.
Evidence points to the Wuhan Institute of Virology, recipient of funds from the U.S. National Institutes of Health, which banned “gain of function” research in 2014 because of danger that a manipulated virus might be released into the population. The NIH revived the dangerous research in 2017 but kept it secret. The Wuhan Institute was an ideal place to hide gain of function, and Anthony Fauci backed the lab with more than $7 million. Dr. Fauci has been evasive about what, exactly, went on at Wuhan but there can be no dispute about the aftermath.
The China virus claimed more than 200,000 deaths in the United States alone and touched three leaders of G7 nations: President Trump, British prime minister Boris Johnson, and Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau, whose wife Sophie tested positive for the coronavirus in March. The economic damages are undeniable: millions unemployed, businesses going bankrupt, mounting debt, and all the social wreckage now on display.
President Trump is on record that this was all “China’s fault,” and China is going to pay “a big price” for what they’ve done to the United States and the world. One U.S. state is already taking measures. In April, Missouri attorney general Eric Schmitt filed a lawsuit charging that Chinese Communist officials are “responsible for the enormous death, suffering, and economic losses they inflicted on the world, including Missourians.” For Sen. Dianne Feinstein, California Democrat, the Missouri lawsuit was the problem.
“We launch a series of unknown events that could be very, very dangerous,” said Feinstein in a July 30, Senate Judiciary Committee hearing. “I think this is a huge mistake.” And Feinstein had only praise for China, “as a country that has pulled tens of millions of people out of poverty in a short period of time” and as “a country growing into a respectable nation among other nations. And I deeply believe that. I’ve been to China a number of times. I’ve studied the issues.”
Indeed, as Feinstein told James Areddy of the Wall Street Journal during a 2006 visit to Shanghai, the San Francisco Democrat had been coming to the Communist nation for 31 years. Feinstein compared Tiananmen Square to Kent State, and as Rosemarie Ho reported in The Nation, Democrats in general and Feinstein in particular ignored the Communist crackdown against Hong Kong.
As the San Francisco Chronicle noted, the Chinese spy on Feinstein’s staff for 20 years even attended Chinese Consulate functions for the senator, who has her own version of Hunter Biden. As Ben Weingarten reported in the Federalist in 2018, Feinstein’s husband Richard Blum has “profited handsomely from the greatly expanded China trade she supported.”
None of this has touched off an investigation, which confirms that FBI favors for Democrats go far beyond Hillary Clinton. A party that functions as a cheerleader for China will not seek any reparations from China, or any other entity that has inflicted vast damage on the United States.
On September 11, 2001, Islamic terrorists claimed nearly 3,000 American lives and caused billions in damages. If that not a case for reparations, it is hard to know what one would look like. Democrats made no case, and the president formerly known as Barry Soetoro shipped billions in cash to Iran, the major sponsor of terrorism in the world.
President Trump pushed back on terrorism, taking out Iranian master terrorist Soleimani and ISIS boss al-Baghdadi. Democrats were critical of these actions, and their diversionary push for slavery reparations has no merit. Neither does Gov. Newsom’s charge of “structural racism,” which as David Azerrad explains, lacks proof on the historical, legislative, and even the subconscious level.
The nation can only thrive, Gov. Newsom contends, “when every one of us has the opportunity to thrive.” As it happens, the most powerful figure in recent California history is the African American Willie Brown. The thriving assembly speaker set up his girlfriend Kamala Harris in lucrative sinecures and backed her career all the way to candidacy for what she has called a “Harris administration.”
Meanwhile, old-money Democrats are grooming Gov. Newsom for a presidential run in 2024. Should he succeed, the nation would never get reparations for terrorism or the China virus. On the other hand, the entire nation would soon look like California, whose rapid decline reminds Bill Maher of “Italy in the 70s or something.” As President Trump says, we’ll have to see what happens.
Peter Schweizer: Hunter Biden Still Owns Ten Percent of Chinese Firm BHR
4,583
Hunter Biden, Joe Biden’s second son, still owns a ten-percent stake in Chinese company Bohai Harvest RST (BHR), an investment firm he co-founded with funding from the Bank of China, noted Peter Schweizer, president of the government accountability Institute, senior contributor to Breitbart News, and author of Profiles in Corruption: Abuse of Power by America’s Progressive Elite.
In episode 17 of the Drill Down, entitled “Hunter Biden’s Chinese Fortune,” Schweizer noted that Hunter Biden has not divested from BHR despite his father’s presidential campaign.
“The idea that Hunter could still profit off of the Chinese government if his father becomes president remains an incredible potential conflict [of interest],” observed Schweizer. “A conflict that seems all the more troubling when Joe Biden continues to dismiss China as a geopolitical threat.”
Hunter Biden’s lawyer claimed his client resigned from BHR’s board of directors, issuing a letter to this effect via the Washington Post. In September 2019, Schweizer highlighted the Washington Post‘s broad omissions in reporting on Hunter Biden’s foreign business dealings during his father’s vice-presidential tenure.
The Washington Post‘s Glenn Kessler framed the aforementioned letter as a response to “Trump folks,” omitting any mention of Hunter Biden’s ongoing ownership stake in BHR.
Trump folks pushing a line that Hunter Biden never resigned from board, citing an apparently outdated database entry. (https://cdn01.dailycaller.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/bhr-english-4-14-20.pdf …) Now Hunter Biden's lawyer has obtained letter confirming he did resign in October, as originally reported. https://twitter.com/TimMurtaugh/status/1250585895960481799 …
Tim Murtaugh - Text TRUMP to 88022
Schweizer said, “Biden’s lawyer claims that his client did resign, and has produced a document from Hunter’s China-based company saying as much. Maybe. But Hunter’s attorney did not address the more important problem – the fact that Hunter still owns a piece of the Chinese company, called BHR.”
“[BHR] is an investment vehicle, financed by the government of China, which has conducted at least two-point-five billion dollars worth of deals,” added Schweizer, “and Hunter Biden has a ten percent equity piece of that.”

China’s Champion Dianne Feinstein
Longtime apologist now acts as PRC asset.
Tue Aug 25, 2020
Back in April, Missouri attorney general Eric Schmitt, a Republican, filed a lawsuit charging that Chinese Communist officials are “responsible for the enormous death, suffering, and economic losses they inflicted on the world, including Missourians.” For Sen. Dianne Feinstein, the Missouri lawsuit was the problem.
“We launch a series of unknown events that could be very, very dangerous,” said Feinstein in a July 30, Senate Judiciary Committee hearing. “I think this is a huge mistake.” As Feinstein doubtless knows, the Chinese company Build Your Dreams (BYD) , which bagged a $1 billion mask deal with California, is suing Vice Media for a story charging that BYD had links to the Chinese military and forced labor. Feinstein did not say if that lawsuit was a mistake, and possibly launch unknown events that could be very dangerous. On the other hand, she had only praise for the Chinese government.
“Where I live, we hold China as a potential trading partner,” Feinstein said in the hearing. “As a country that has pulled tens of millions of people out of poverty in a short period of time. And as a country growing into a respectable nation among other nations. And I deeply believe that. I’ve been to China a number of times. I’ve studied the issues.” Much of that study, it turns out, has been on location.
“I’ve been coming to China for 31 years, so I’m not a newcomer,” Feinstein told James Areddy of the Wall Street Journal during a 2006 visit to Shanghai. In Beijing, the U.S. Senator explained, “we spent time with Zhu Rongji, the former premier who was a mayor of Shanghai” and “a good friend.”
In 2014, on the 25th anniversary of the Tiananmen Square massacre, Feinstein issued a statement recalling “perhaps even thousands” of demonstrators killed. “I know of no other country that has made as much economic and industrial progress in the last 25 years than China,” Feinstein wrote. “But what this anniversary reminds us is that progress still must be made in the areas of human rights, rule of law and governance.”
The senator has since been rather quiet about any human rights progress China might have achieved, and expressed no second thoughts about China’s membership in the World Trade Organization. That removed the annual congressional review of its record on human rights and weapons proliferation records, a huge win for the Communist regime.
As Rosemarie Ho reported in The Nation, Democrats in general and Feinstein in particular have kept rather quiet about the democratic protesters in Hong Kong. As it happens, Feinstein’s China issues go much deeper. The former San Francisco mayor had a Chinese spy on her staff for some 20 years, and he was much more than her “driver.” As the San Francisco Chronicle noted, the spy even attended Chinese Consulate functions for the senator.
As Ben Weingarten noted in the Federalist in 2018, Feinstein’s husband has “profited handsomely from the greatly expanded China trade she supported.” And the senator “served as a key intermediary between China and the U.S. government, while serving on committees whose work would be of keen interest to the PRC.” All this, plus a spy on her staff through three election cycles.
Feinstein was one of the first to cry “racism” over the Wuhan virus that has caused massive damage in the United States and around the world. When one American state attempts to hold China accountable losses in court, Sen. Feinstein calls it dangerous. She “deeply believes” that one of the most repressive regimes in history is a respectable nation.
By contrast, as the San Francisco Democrat said in a June 2 statement, the United States is burdened with “systemic racism in areas ranging from housing to employment to education,” all part of “institutional racism.” Feinstein invoked “President Obama,” to lead the reform process. He has been acting as though still in office.
“Obama Defends Mob Rule,” reads the August 3 American Greatness headline. As Conrad Black explains, the 44th president of the United States is uncritical of the violent mobs now terrorizing the country. This “shows how terminally morally and intellectually decayed the Obama-Clinton-Biden Democratic Party has become,” and that is not a stretch.
From House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on down, not a single Democrat has offered the slightest criticism of the Antifa-BLM axis. Instead they call federal officers “stormtroopers” and “secret police,” and support the defunding of police departments. Democrat support for violent mobs sends a signal to another group out to take down the country.
As recent attacks at military bases in Florida and Texas confirm, Islamic terrorists continue their jihad against America and Americans. The death sentence of Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev has now been overturned. That brought no statement from Sen. Dianne Feinstein, who finds fault with a Missouri lawsuit against China.
When a predictable apologist becomes a positive asset for the Communist regime, that could turn out very, very dangerous. If anybody thought the time has finally come for a thorough investigation of California Senator Dianne Feinstein it would be hard to blame them.
Bokhari: Anna Makanju of Facebook and Atlantic Council Is Tied to Ukraine, Biden, Burisma
Last week, Breitbart News reported on Anna Makanju,
Facebook’s global policy manager for content regulation, who
advised Joe Biden on Ukraine policy during his time as vice
president. But Makanju — and Facebook’s — connections to
not only Ukraine, but the energy giant Burisma, go even
deeper than that.
Testifying before the Senate Commerce Committee, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg claimed ignorance, telling Sen. John Thune (R-SD he wasn’t aware that Makanju, a senior employee in his content regulation apparatus was a former top Biden adviser.
As a policy manager for content regulation, Makanju was in a position to influence Facebook’s decision to censor the New York Post’s bombshell reporting about the Biden family’s ties to Ukraine and Burisma. The conflict of interest is clear: Makanju is herself intimately involved in the same web that connects Burisma, Ukraine, the Bidens, and Facebook.
One of Facebook’s most consequential partnerships is with the Atlantic Council, a highly influential foreign policy think tank that the tech giant partnered with in 2018 to “monitor for misinformation” and “protect free and fair elections across the world.” Makanju, in addition to her work for Facebook, is a senior fellow with the organization.
The Atlantic Council — which is tied to Burisma.
The think tank signed a cooperative agreement with the Ukrainian company in 2017, while Hunter Biden was still on the company’s board. The Atlantic Council and Burisma would go on to organize international energy conferences together, one of which featured Hunter Biden as a speaker.
As of 2019, Burisma had given more than $450,000 in donations to the Atlantic Council.
In 2016, before the donations started, the think tank harshly criticized Ukrainian oligarchs over corruption, including Burisma Holdings owner Mykola Zlochevsky. In the words of one Atlantic Council report, Zlochevsky hired “trophy foreigners” like Hunter Biden to help bolster his company’s reputation, while engaging in financial and political corruption.
Just a year later, the Atlantic Council partnered with the same company whose owner it had previously condemned as corrupt.
And a year after that, it partnered with Facebook to fight “misinformation” and defend “free and fair elections.” Its senior fellow, Makanju, works for Facebook in the same area — regulating content and controlling “misinformation.”
Makanju was so close of an adviser to Biden on Ukraine policy that she was on the former Vice President’s now-infamous phonecalls with President Poroshenko, and later argued that transcripts of the calls shouldn’t be released to the public.
So, to recap:
Facebook suppressed a bombshell New York Post story about the Biden family’s ties to Ukraine and Burisma, backed by photo evidence and testimony from Hunter Biden’s former business partner. The Biden campaign has yet to dispute any of the specific allegations in the Post’s stories.
Facebook acted with uncharacteristic swiftness to suppress the Post, failing to wait for the verdict of its third-party “fact checkers” before taking action. The act drew rare condemnation from the Poynter Institute, a normally left-leaning journalism institute that “certifies” Big Tech’s third-party fact checkers.
The AP offered potential “misinformation” as justification for Facebook’s action, even though no credible source has claimed the Post’s story is untrue.
Facebook, meanwhile, works with the Atlantic Council to combat so-called “misinformation,” going so far as to make one of the think-tank’s senior fellows, Makanju, its global policy manager for content regulation.
The Atlantic Council, meanwhile, has financial ties to Burisma, the same company at the heart of the Biden-Ukraine corruption allegations.
Relying on Burisma for hundreds of thousands of dollars in donations, the Atlantic Council now has a vested interest in the energy company’s success. This means it has a vested interest in suppressing the Post’s story, which further highlights the same allegations of corruption about Burisma that the Atlantic Council itself once wrote about.
And its fellow, Facebook’s Makanju also has a vested interest in suppressing the Post’s story — it involves her former boss, and it’s connected to phonecalls between Biden and Poroshenko that she herself was allowed to listen in on.
Given the facts, it seems impossible to see Facebook’s sprawling “content regulation” and “misinformation” apparatus as anything other than hopelessly compromised.

Disposable Joe
Joe Biden's candidacy is built on his three outstanding "abilities": electability, plausible deniability, and (after he is elected) disposability.
Electability
Electability was what got him the nomination. The Democrats' backroom clique thought Biden was the most electable candidate, so they pulled strings to get him the nomination. Recall that Biden was not doing all that well in the polls and early primaries against Bernie Sanders. In fact, if the already defeated Elizabeth Warren had not stayed in the race, bleeding away progressive votes from Sanders until Biden had it wrapped up, Sanders might now be the Democrat leader.
Plausible Deniability
Tony Bobulinski, a former key man in the Biden Family Racket, appeared on the Tucker Carlson show and drew the outlines of the shady practices that enriched Joe and his family on the backs of the American people. At one point, Bobulinski talked about how he came to the conclusion that what they were doing was not right morally and for most people would be a crime. Bobulinski related a conversation he had with James Biden, Joe's brother.
"I remember saying, 'How are you guys getting away with this?' 'Aren't you concerned?'" he told Carlson.
He claims that Jim Biden chuckled.
"'Plausible Deniability,' he said it directly to me in a cabana at the Peninsula Hotel," he said.
This highlights the fact that Joe Biden has been living on the mere idea of plausibility for most of his career, never more so than in this election cycle. Even before he went into politics, he was stealing ideas, wholesale chunks of speeches and written words. He has become uber wealthy on a Senate salary that has never gone higher than $175,000 a year. His immediate family has accumulated fabulous wealth through government contracts and no-show jobs with organizations in countries Joe has had responsibility for in his posts as senator and vice president. He has skated by all that because of the fog of plausibility conferred by his position, political correctness, and his connections to the power brokers of the Democrat party.
If this is all very insubstantial, it is even more mysterious that he is now so close to becoming what would plausibly be the first temporary president of the United States. Finally, in the twilight of his life, disposability has become his defining attribute.
Disposability
The frail, confused, mumble-mouthed character we see at pathetic rallies and in Zoom calls is arguably less presidential than anyone you could pick at random out of the Omaha, Nebraska phone book (if you remember what they were). But that is of no consideration for the claque that put him forward. Nancy Pelosi has already been doing exploratory drills using the 25th Amendment. You only have to watch and listen to Ol' Joe for a little while to know that his handle on the Oval Office will be thoroughly greased up by his "supporters" in the party apparatus who can't wait to do all the things they can't convince us to vote for.
Have no doubt: he will be disposed of if voted in. After that, the deluge.

The Bidens: A Delaware mafia
Delaware is not famous for much of anything except Dupont/Dow, on-shore tax havens, and a lucrative toll gate on the I-95 Interstate.
Delaware's minor and opaque reputation may change as the Biden family corruption saga unfolds.
If you have any questions about the standing of the Biden family in Delaware, all you need to know is that the one interstate rest stop on the Delaware stretch of the thruway is named after Joe Biden. Delaware is the second smallest state in the union, yet it has three toll roads exploiting north/south traffic through the busy east coast corridor.
The biggest employers in the state are government, education, banking, and chemicals/pharmaceuticals.
"More than half of all U.S. publicly traded companies, and 63% of the Fortune 500, are incorporated in Delaware. The state's attractiveness as a corporate haven is largely because of its business-friendly corporation law. Franchise taxes on Delaware corporations supply about a fifth of the state's revenue. Delaware ranks as the world's most opaque jurisdiction on the Tax Justice Network's 2009 Financial Secrecy Index[.] ... [T]here are more than a million registered corporations, meaning there are more corporations than people."
Joe Biden has represented Delaware for nearly 50 years in the U.S. Congress, but you would never know that by listening to a campaign speech. At the drop of a hat, Joe trots out his birth in Scranton, Pennsylvania, a place his family left when Joe was 10.
Delaware has three Electoral College votes. Pennsylvania has 20.
From the start, Biden's career was cratered by personal misfortune; a wife and child died in an auto accident, and an eldest son died of cancer. All the while, Biden's wayward second son, Hunter Biden, dragged the family name through the muck for decades. The tragedy of Biden's life is real, but then again, so are the pity parties.
A recent 60 Minutes election-year side-by-side comparison of Biden and Trump is an example. A stuttering narrator was recruited by PBS to narrate the saga of Biden's childhood trauma as a stutterer. You are led to believe that stuttering might be the explanation behind Joe's history of gaffes, lies about schools/class rank, and other character flaws like plagiarism.
Like the Scranton yarns, Joe is not above retailing or using childhood stuttering and a sad family history to excuse missteps and bad judgment. Alas, we often hear about the trials and saints in Joe's life, yet we seldom hear about the demons and grifters.
Second son Hunter is a junkie cum drunk, a seven-time loser in rehab who bedded his brother Beau's wife before the man's body was cold. Hunter was thrown out of the U.S. Navy Reserve for cocaine use, and he had to be forced to take a DNA test to acknowledge a child born of a relationship with a Washington, D.C. stripper who moved back to Arkansas.
Nevertheless, the drug-addled Lothario was a frequent flyer on Air Force Two, the golden chariot that led to recent Biden family riches.
Hunter was a principal in pay-to-play on a global scale. Recent electronic and documented evidence confirms years of scuttlebutt that suggested that Hunter Biden, and Uncle Jim, were trading and profiting on the name and office of the "big guy."
Throughout, Joe claims he knew nothing of any family pay-to-play hustles in Oman, Luxembourg, Romania, Kazakhstan, Ukraine, Russia, Guatemala, and China. The ignorance defense is an instant replay of Clinton family tactics; deny, deny, deny, and when denials are no longer plausible, depend on Deep State Democrat Party Beltway hacks to cover or come to the rescue.
Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) obliged on cue the other day, calling the most recent corruption charges against the Bidens "Russian disinformation."
Adding insult to our intelligence, Joe Biden, like a cathouse piano player, claims he will bring "honor and integrity" back to the Oval Office. Say what you will about pay-to-play on the left these days; the American Democrat party may have cornered the global market on chutzpah.
Withal, the Biden exposé is, by any metric, a day late and a billion dollars short — at best a pyrrhic victory for critics. The Justice Department and the FBI have had the goods on Biden for some time, yet official Washington is still mute and inert.
Inertia at justice is a symptom of a much larger problem: institutionalized federal double standards.
A Republican might be indicted by an ambiguous phone call while Democrats, like the Clintons and Bidens, get a pass on obvious felonies. Rest assured that nine of ten apparatchiks entrenched inside the Beltway are Democrat voters. Left-wing fixtures in the Beltway swamp — at the Intelligence Community, Department of Defense, Justice department, and FBI — may be systemic and permanent at this point.
Alas, there may be some satisfaction to be had from truth if not justice.
We now know, through electronic and testimonial evidence, that Biden and family have been trading on public office for years. More important is the realization that the attempted coup and impeachment of Donald Trump was an elaborate and persistent scheme to distract from Obama/Biden era regime change chicanery and corruption in eastern Europe.
Winning in 2020 and beating an attempted coup, however, are not Donald Trump's serious sins. Trump's mortal offense was his refusal to become a useful idiot like James Clapper or Barack Obama.
Consequently, tactics and operations usually reserved for black operations abroad were imported by deep state Democrats (James Comey and John Brennan) for domestic use in 2016 and continue to this day.
American print and broadcast media, erstwhile guardians of free speech, press, and truth, were also lost or compromised in the Obama years.
Press and broadcast bias is now compounded by what Caroline Glick calls "The New Commissars," those universally leftist dot.com mandarins who flourish, profit, and spin in an unregulated internet cesspool.
Big Brother is now a very wealthy and influential cabal of left coast Twitter, Facebook, and Google Democrats.
The real tragedy of Donald Trump's first term is that so many Americans still seem to believe that barkers and hustlers like Joe Biden are actually an improvement over grifters like Bill and Hillary Clinton.
Suicidal stupidity on the American left now seems to be generational — and systemic.

Reflections on Sleepy Joe
Exactly how and where will he lead us?
The most important election of our lifetime – perhaps in all U.S. history -- is upon us.
Here are some thoughts on the Democrat presidential candidate:
- Spent 47 years in office without accomplishing anything noteworthy -- who was ever and always a willing tool for the leadership of the Democrat Party.
- Has become a bobble-head for the socialists who now run his party.
- Took three months to issue a limp-wristed disavowal of the riots which are rocking our republic.
- Equates occasional police misconduct with business districts in flames, nightly looting, the murder of cops, and assaults on innocent bystanders.
- Thinks white supremacists pose a greater threat to America than Antifa, which he says is “an idea” not an organization. With Joe, you never know if he’s simply parroting progressive propaganda or really is that stupid.
- Wants to demolish the border wall and defund ICE, and once called illegal immigration “a gift” – that keeps on giving for the left.
- Said 150 million Americans died from “gun violence” since 2007 and 120 million of us died from COVID-19. There goes 80% of the population.
- Does press availabilities where he takes two questions – from reporters he knows are friendly.
- Has rallies which could be held in a broom closet.
- Thinks the president doesn’t have the authority to fill Supreme Court vacancies close to an election.
- Can’t quote the best-known phrase in the Declaration of Independence. (Joe: “We hold these truths to be self-evident. All men and women are created. by the, you know, you know the thing.”) Did he ever read the document? How about the Constitution?
- Hides in his basement because his handlers fear that if he spends too much time on the campaign trail he’ll say something to let voters know how monumentally dumb he actually is.
- Has a family that received an estimated $30 million to $40 million in bribes from countries like China and the Ukraine.
- Made his fortune in politics. Harry Truman used to say you can always tell the crooked politician. He’s the one who started poor and ended rich.
- Chose a running mate who’s ranked the furthest left member of the Senate and made her bones smearing Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh during his confirmation hearing.
- Refuses to denounce anti-Semitism in his party.
- Says America is an “idea” that was “never lived up to.” Funny, with the greatest democracy in the world – that pioneered civil liberties and saved humanity from Nazism and communism -- I thought we were doing pretty well.
- Thinks that taxes are a way to jump-start the economy and wants a $15-an-hour minimum wage to help small businesses that have been hit so hard.
- Changes his position on fracking every 15 minutes or so, depending on focus groups.
- Says we can “change America for generations to come.” Visions of Venezuela dance in my head.
- Is the leader of a party that wants to end free elections by abolishing the Electoral College, making Puerto Rico and D.C. states, and packing the Supreme Court.
- Has the absolute loyalty of The New York Times, Washington Post, CNN and the rest of the mainstream media that’s been lying to you for decades.
- Whose supporters include Hollywood, Big Tech and academia – who’ve spent years stifling free speech, indoctrinating our children, and hating America.
- Was endorsed by the Revolutionary Communist Party.
- Can’t wait to destroy the economic recovery now underway with another lockdown, so he can “build it back better” – with Bernie Sanders, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Elizabeth Warren as the architects.
- Wants a national mandate for face masks – which the CDC says are worthless unless they’re hospital-grade.
- Spent the entire campaign whining about Trump’s Supreme Court nominations but refuses to give us a hint of whom he’d put on the high court.
- Whose mental deterioration is more painfully apparent with each passing day, reflected in an inability to speak coherently, gaffes galore, and embarrassing memory lapses, as when he recently said, “We need to stop four more years of George.” If he can’t remember the name of the incumbent he’s running against, how would he perform as president?
- Has a shocking inability to control his temper, reflected in such bizarre outbursts as telling an African American interviewer that he “ain’t black” if he’d even think about voting for anyone else.
Is this the man Americans want to lead the country and the free world (out of the Covid crisis, against our foreign foes and the anarchists who are trying to tear America apart) for as long as he can remain upright?
Three Times the Biden Family Used Joe to Profit in Small American Countries
The misadventures of former Vice President Joe Biden’s son Hunter with Chinese Communist money men and Ukrainian oligarchs are far from the only time the Biden family tried to cash in on Joe’s political career.
Joe Biden’s younger brother Frank leveraged the Biden name for lucrative deals in Costa Rica and Jamaica, while Hunter used his father’s name to push through a massive deal in Colombia involving a vast Chinese energy corporation.
Costa Rica
In August 2009, a partnership to “reform real estate in Latin America” was announced between Costa Rican agencies and Cygnus International, Frank Biden’s company. The “sustainable” and “socially sensitive” projects for this partnership included the Guanacaste Solar Park, developed in 2014 with another business owned by Frank Biden, and a luxury country club with a top-shelf golf course. The proposal was valued at over $1 billion.
Costa Rican President Luis Guillermo SolÃs wrote a letter to Frank Biden thanking him for getting involved with the country club project, which included everything from renewable energy deals to waste disposal and a hospital. SolÃs’s letter said the development would include over 1,000 homes.
The waste-to-energy element is interesting because SolÃs’s letter referred to a company called Westinghouse-Plasma that Biden seemed reluctant to name, although he frequently alluded to having a “strong waste-to-energy partner.” Joe Biden occasionally praised the company during his vice presidency, literally pitching its services to the Czech Republic in 2009.
Westinghouse-Plasma went through a few ownership changes over the years, but within a year of the thank-you letter President SolÃs wrote to Frank Biden, the company was purchased in a surprise acquisition by a Delaware-based corporation named Harvest International that is wholly owned by a Chinese company, Sunshine Kaidi New Energy Corp.
A Costa Rican newspaper called El Observador reported that in February 2020, after years of promoting the Guanacaste megaproject, Frank Biden denied through his law firm that he or Joe Biden had ever been involved with it. The project was never completed, and investors reportedly said they never got their money back.
The Biden Family Foreign Corruption Scandal is staggering, which is why the Establishment Media refuses to give it the coverage it deserves. pic.twitter.com/99UVbLInC7
— Breitbart News (@BreitbartNews) October 29, 2020
“There is no project in Costa Rica. Never was,” Biden claimed in comments to El Observador – eight years after he said he couldn’t wait to be part of the Guanacaste “community” and boasted that his country club would not have any walls because “most of the amenities are public and it’s the Guanacaste people who have permitted us to be here.”
Frank Biden’s partner in the Guanacaste project, Craig Williamson – named in the 2009 announcement of Biden’s involvement, hailed by Biden as a “business partner and friend” who would help him prove that “protecting the breathtaking beauty that is Costa Rica is a money maker” – was sued for fraud in Costa Rica and currently has an outstanding arrest warrant.
El Observador in February quoted unhappy investors who said they put money into the country club project largely because of the Biden name. Former Costa Rican President SolÃs said in the same article that he “didn’t ask for resumes” when he met with Biden and his partners.
Frank Biden and Craig Williamson also worked together in Belize, where their real estate partnership ERA Real Estate Costa Rica had interests. In 2007, Biden was named director of development and marketing for a humanitarian nonprofit organization called Hand in Hand Ministries that had significant operations in Belize. The health ministry of Belize, which received a $1.9 million grant in 2011 from a U.S. government program called the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), made Hand in Hand Ministries their primary AIDS relief organization.
Jamaica
As vice president in 2014, Joe Biden announced the Caribbean Energy Security Initiative (CESI), a program intended to facilitate investment in wind and solar energy projects with U.S. taxpayer subsidies. Biden hosted a major summit for CESI the following year.
Among the projects funded by CESI was a 20-megawatt solar power plant in Jamaica. A $50 million deal to develop the plant was signed in February 2016 by Sun Fund Americas, which is based in Guanacaste, Costa Rica, and is presided over by Frank Biden. The plant officially opened in 2017.
“We have strong partners in both PV Solar and Waste to Energy, and our resort development partner has crafted the best possible development model for green resort and residential communities,” Biden said when announcing the Jamaica deal, vaguely referring once again to a strong waste-to-energy partner.
“From our base in Costa Rica, we are working with several other countries to bring this combined development array in the near term. These countries will benefit from our solutions providing clean energy, and eliminating solid waste, medical waste and water treatment sludge with zero toxic byproduct while creating thousands of jobs locally,” Biden said.
Colombia
Hunter Biden and Joe Biden’s other brother James used the former vice president’s name in 2017 while pushing a deal in Colombia. The investment outline prepared by the Bidens and their partners prominently featured a photo of Joe Biden shaking hands with then-Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos and touting the “strong” relationship between them.
The investor Hunter and James Biden was seeking to court for oil investments in Colombia was none other than CEFC China Energy, the shadowy corporation linked to the Chinese Communist government and People’s Liberation Army that figures heavily in the emails recovered from Hunter Biden’s laptop. CEFC abruptly went bankrupt in 2018 after its founder Ye Jianming was linked to corruption in Africa and disappeared into the Chinese prison system. The Biden proposal touted Colombia as CEFC’s “gateway to Latin America.”
