Last month, Tony Bobulinski, a one-time business associate of Hunter Biden, came forward to accuse the former vice president of lying about his involvement in his son’s dealings. Bobulinski claims that he met the Bidens in 2017 and became involved in a venture with Hunter and the former vice president’s younger brother, James.
In 2019, Biden dismissed China as a threat to the United States. "They're not competition for us," he said in response to worries the communist state would overtake us economically. There may be a good reason why he doesn't see China as our competition. There is growing evidence of the Biden family's close business ties to China. That factor makes it hard for a President Biden to get serious about the communist threat.
How Republicans can protect national security from Joe Biden
Joe Biden is our media-declared president-elect. His ostensible win is terrible news for our national security. A President Biden would lead to more foreign conflicts and more appeasement to China. That's why it's critical that, over the next two months, President Donald Trump and Republicans implement policies that mitigate the threat he can pose to our peace and security.
Biden has long advocated foreign interventions that run contrary to the national interest. He voted for the Iraq war in 2003 and continued to defend this decision long after the conflict proved disastrous for our nation. Nor did he learn from that mistake. In 2011, he supported Barack Obama's intervention into Libya, which turned the country into a failed state and haven for terrorists. The former vice president also backed Obama's intervention in the Yemen civil war, a brutal conflict that has left tens of thousands dead and hindered peace in the Middle East.
Biden continues to support the endless war in Afghanistan. He pledges to keep American troops in the desolate quagmire, despite no tangible goal or mission. Biden also wants to keep America involved in Syria to "keep the pressure" on the Assad regime. There is a good chance he would commit to a U.S. military intervention to topple Bashar Assad, depending on how events transpire. His record of support for U.S.-backed regime change in Iraq, Serbia, and Libya shows he has no qualms about this idea.
While Biden will likely be more needlessly aggressive in the Middle East, his record indicates he will also be weak on China, America's number-one geopolitical threat.
As a senator, Biden advocated for China's admission into the World Trade Organization, helping to send America's manufacturing to the company and depriving our nation of the resource that helped us win two world wars. Now this indelible feature of American greatness lies within the hands of communist tyrants. Biden made this possible by advocating for China's admission into the World Trade Organization in 2000.
In 2019, Biden dismissed China as a threat to the United States. "They're not competition for us," he said in response to worries the communist state would overtake us economically. There may be a good reason why he doesn't see China as our competition. There is growing evidence of the Biden family's close business ties to China. That factor makes it hard for a President Biden to get serious about the communist threat.
Over the next two months, Republicans must do everything in their power to stifle Biden's dangerous foreign policy agenda.
They should implement rules throughout the federal government that hit back at Chinese aggression and prevent a potential Biden administration from working too heavily with the country and its allies. We can't trust Biden to challenge China; we must look at ways to check Chinese military ambitions as soon as possible.
One simple way to do this is to pass the NASA Authorization Act with Sen. Cory Gardner's amendments attached. Those amendments aim to prevent the Chinese from gaining access to our valuable space technology through linked contractors, like Elon Musk's SpaceX, which seemingly would have to comply with China's Military Fusion laws, given the deep business ties it has with the country.
President Trump appears to get this need. He signed an executive order on November 12 barring American firms from investing in companies with ties to the Chinese military. Now we just need to make sure that companies that are aligned too closely with those entities don't contract with our government.
However the election turns out, Trump and the GOP must do everything they can to protect our national security. It's too dangerous to do nothing and allow Biden to wreck our national interests.

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.”

GOP Senators Plan to Continue Probe into Hunter Biden’s Dealings

At
least two high-ranking Republican senators plan to continue investigating
Hunter Biden’s business dealings even should his father, former Vice President
Joe Biden, take office in January.
Sens. Ron
Johnson (R-WI) and Chuck Grassley (R-IA), who authored a
report earlier this year detailing the potential conflicts of interest between
Hunter Biden’s foreign ties and his father’s political influence, will keep
pursuing the matter after the new Congress takes office next year.
Johnson, who currently chairs the
Senate’s Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, has begun
telling news outlets that he will not “turn a blind eye” to recent revelations about
the Biden family just because the 2020 election had passed.
“Tony
Bobulinski coming forward, the computer being revealed, the FBI possibly
starting an investigation,” Johnson told the Hill over the weekend. “We
had a hard enough time getting what evidence we got to even write a report, and
then all of a sudden our report sort of opened up this logjam.”
“I’m very confident there are
probably more financial transactions that will probably be revealed,” the
senator added.
Similarly, Grassley, who currently
chairs the Senate Finance Committee, has asked the Department of Justice (DOJ)
in recent days to make public any documents pertaining to Hunter Biden’s overseas
interest. The Iowa lawmaker, specifically, has asked Attorney General William
Barr whether any member of the Biden family sought guidance on whether their
international business ventures complied with the Foreign Agents Registration
Act (FARA).
Although both Grassley and Johnson
are set to leave their current chairmanships in January, they plan to continue
looking into the Biden family from other perches within the United States
Senate.
Provided that Republicans retain
control of the chamber, Johnson will use his position as the incoming chairman
of the Homeland Security Committee’s permanent subcommittee on investigations
to keep his probe going. Grassley, likewise, will rely on his status as the
incoming chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee.
Last month, Tony Bobulinski, a
one-time business associate of Hunter Biden, came forward to accuse the former
vice president of lying about his involvement in his son’s dealings. Bobulinski
claims that he met the Bidens in 2017 and became involved in a venture with
Hunter and the former vice president’s younger brother, James.
Since coming
forward, Bobulinski has agreed to cooperate with the Homeland Security
Committee. Bobulinksi also told the Sinclair Broadcast Group in late-October
that he was interviewed by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) regarding
Hunter’s tenure on the
board of directors of Burisma Holdings, a Ukrainian natural gas conglomerate.
