An ever growing number of Angel Families have
lost children to illegal alien drunk drivers
(ABOUT 12 LEGALS MURDERED DAILY BY DRUNK DRIVING ILLEGALS) The Angel Families weren't voting for Joe
Biden anyway, but Biden's policies would certainly create more grieving
American families. The Democrats care more about protecting criminal foreigners
than protecting the lives of American citizens. BRONSON STOCKIN

“You only arrest for the
purpose of dealing with a felony that’s committed, and I don’t count drunk driving as a felony.” That was former vice president Joe Biden last week, and the
presidential contender announced a punishment for ICE agents who dare
arrest illegals caught driving drunk.
“You change the culture by
saying you are going to get fired,” Biden explained. “You are fired if, in
fact, you do that.” That fell afoul of former ICE boss Tom Homan, who explained
that according to current statues, any crime by an illegal is grounds for
deportation. If Biden doesn’t like what ICE is doing, Homan told Fox News, “then he can
change the law, but you cannot fire a law enforcement officer to
enforcing the law that he took an oath to enforce, a law that was enacted
by Congress.”
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Authority, “every day, almost 30 people die in drunk-driving crashes.”
Those crashes claim more than 10,000 lives per year, and contribute to costs
of $44 billion in 2010 alone. Many states prosecute drunk driving as a
felony, particularly in cases of injury or death. Even so, presidential
contender Biden doesn’t consider drunk driving a felony, and last week
announced more good news for those illegally present in the United States.
“In many cases, they’re more American than most Americans are because they have done well in school,” Biden said of
the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. “They believe the
basic principles that we all share. I think they should be, in fact, fine to
put on a path to citizenship.”
Legal immigrants and legitimate
citizens might wonder what the former vice president, a lawyer, is talking
about. On the other hand, Biden’s comments did not prevent a ringing
endorsement from a prominent California Democrat.
“For me, vice president Biden
is the best candidate,” Sacramento mayor Darrell Steinberg told reporters last week. “This country desperately needs both strong leadership and a
voice of healing. This country is so badly divided in large part because of the
current president.” As it happens, when it comes to drunk drivers Steinberg and
Biden are on the same page.
In 2017, Steinberg approved
$300,000 in city funding to provide legal services and
other benefits for foreign nationals illegally present in the United States.
Steinberg, a supporter of sanctuary laws, said his concern was people who are a
threat, but illegal immigrants eligible for monetary aid include those with
convictions for DUI, a felony offense if people are injured or killed.
Last year in Knight’s Landing,
a small community north of Sacramento, Mexican national Ismael Huazo-Jardinez smashed his truck into a residence killing Jose
Pacheco, 38, Anna Pacheco, 34, the couple’s son Angel, 10, and
injuring their 11-year-old daughter. Police charged Huazo-Jardinez,
previously deported in 2011, with felony DUI and three counts of vehicular
manslaughter.
Huazo Jardinez attempted to
flee the scene but Sutter County judge David Ashby, a 2016 appointee of Gov.
Jerry Brown, allowed the Mexican to post bail. The suspect then fled but was
quickly apprehended by ICE agents and also charged with ‘two counts of possessing a firearm while being an alien unlawfully in the United States.”
Despite the two fatalities in the felony DUI, the case drew no public comment
from mayor Steinberg, Governor Gavin Newsom or attorney general Xavier Becerra,
once on Hillary Clinton’s short list as a running mate.
On December 16, 2018, Newman,
California, police officer Ronil “Ron” Singh, a legal immigrant from Fiji,
pulled over a drunk driver who gunned down the officer. Police arrested a
Mexican national calling himself Gustavo Perez Arriaga and Paulo Virgen
Mendoza.
The Mexican national, illegally
present in the United States, had been arrested for felony DUI, in 2011, in a case that caused injury, and arrested on another DUI in
2014. That year the Mexican was sentenced to five days in jail but failed to
show. Under California sanctuary policy, he was never handed over to ICE for
deportation.
After the murder of officer
Singh, several other illegals helped the suspect flee. One of them, Eriz
Quiroz, has already been sentenced to prison after
prosecution by U.S. Attorney McGregor Scott. The suspect, now calling himself
Paulo Virgen Mendoza, is being prosecuted by state judge Ricardo Córdova, a
2003 appointee of Democrat Gov. Gray Davis, and the murder case has been
postponed until March 10, 2020.
Attorney general Xavier Becerra
and Gov. Gavin Newsom, both supporters of California’s sanctuary law, did not
attend the funeral of police officer Ron Singh. Neither Democrat has publicly
decried the officer’s murder as an example of “gun violence.”
Meanwhile, Sacramento mayor
Darrell Steinberg, a former state Senate boss, spends taxpayer dollars on the
legal fees of illegals, believes drunk driving does not constitute a threat,
and believes Joe Biden is the “best candidate” for president. The former vice
president believes drunk driving is not a felony, that ICE agents who arrest
drunken illegals should be fired, and that foreign nationals are more American
than Americans because they “have done well in school.”
The election takes place on
November 3. As President Trump says, we’ll see what happens.
CYMI:
Biden Says He'd Fire ICE Agents for Arresting Drunk Driving Illegal Aliens
Democratic
presidential candidate Joe Biden plans on changing the culture over at U.S.
Customs and Immigration Enforcement (ICE) by firing ICE agents who arrest illegal
aliens for anything other than a felony, adding, "and I don’t consider
drunk driving as a felony." Biden made the controversial
remarks during
a 2020 Vice News Election Forum on Monday.
A
moderator asked the Democratic candidate how he would change the
"culture" over at ICE.
"You
change the culture by saying, 'You’re gonna get fired,'" a finger-pointing
Biden responded. "'You’re fired.' If in fact, you do that. You only arrest
for the purpose of dealing with a felony that’s committed, and I don’t count
drunk driving as a felony."
So Joe
Biden is threatening to fire ICE agents for doing their jobs just like
Biden fired that Ukrainian prosecutor for
doing his.
Even the
moderators appeared to be taken aback by the candidate's defense of drunk
driving.
You would
think Biden would have more sympathy for families who lost loved ones due to
drunk driving. For years, Biden lied about his first wife and
13-month-old-daughter being killed by a man, who Biden has falsely accused of
having "drank his lunch." Despite Biden's claims, a police
determination found that Biden's wife had driven into the path of a
tractor-trailer, possibly because her head had been turned and she didn't see
the oncoming vehicle. A tragic and sad story nonetheless, but why support a
policy that would similarly victimize other families?
Countless
Americans lose their lives every year when they are hit by illegal alien drunk
drivers, and many of the illegal aliens are repeat offenders. It's amazing the
Democratic frontrunner would guarantee that many more Americans would die from
drunk driving illegal aliens by threatening to fire ICE agents who deport such
dangerous individuals.
A lot of
the Angel Moms also lost their children to illegal
alien drunk drivers.
The Angel Moms weren't voting for Joe Biden anyway, but Biden's policy would
create many more of these mothers.
Biden's
comments show how far-left the Democratic Party has become and how far Joe
Biden is willing to go to become the Democrat's nominee.
Profile

Biden’s children and other members of his family did just that while he was in
political office.
Joe
Biden Helped Launch Business for Son-in-Law from the Oval Office, Repeatedly
Briefed Investors Privately
Former Vice President Joe Biden went
to great lengths to boost his son-in-law’s health care company while in the
White House, briefing investors on the firm’s merits and even arranging access
to the Oval Office. The bombshell revelations are detailed in Profiles in Corruption: Abuse of Power by America’s Progressive
Elite — a new book by Peter Schweizer, a senior contributor at
Breitbart News and the president of the Government Accountability Institute.
In June 2011, Biden arranged a
private meeting for two StartUp Health executives with then-President Barack
Obama in the Oval Office. At the time of the meeting, the company had been
around for only a few weeks. It had yet to finalize its business plan, let
alone develop a website.
The meeting was all the more surprising
since StartUp Health was not proposing any new or radical ideas for health
care, at least not to the degree of warranting a meeting with the nation’s
commander-in-chief.
“Their status as a health care
incubator was hardly unique,” Schweizer writes in Profiles in Corruption. “In
fact, there were thirty-one similar companies operating in the state of
California alone, and another eleven in the state of New York.”
As Schweizer outlines, the only
significant factor that set StartUp Health apart from others in its field was
that its chief medical officer, Howard Krein, was engaged to Biden’s daughter,
Ashley. Krein, a head and neck doctor by training, seemed to have become an
integral part of Biden’s inner-circle even before he officially wed into the family in June
2012.
One day after StartUp Health’s
executives met with Obama in the Oval Office, the company got a bigger boost
from the administration when it was featured at a health care tech conference
put on by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). How the company
managed to score HHS attention, while still in the stages of infancy, remains
unclear, but it is likely Biden played a role.
Regardless, the back-to-back events
gave StartUp Health a launch trajectory unavailable to other companies in the
health care field, let alone other industries. Biden’s influence ensured that
StartUp Health set out with “the winds to our backs,” as one of the company’s
co-founders succinctly put it.
The former vice president’s efforts
on his son-in-law’s behalf were not just confined to the company’s launch. As Profiles in Corruption details,
Biden went out of his way to ensure StartUp Health executives were given
unparalleled access to the White House during the Obama presidency. The
company’s leadership, which mostly consisted of Krein’s family and friends,
frequently met with administration officials not only in private but also in
public.
“According to 2011 White House
visitors’ logs, Howard Krein attended the China State Dinner, a White House
Staff barbecue, and President Obama’s Motown event,” Schweizer writes. “His
brother, Steven, had half a dozen other meetings with White House officials.”
Biden’s efforts on behalf of the
company expansively increased during his final year in office, both
internationally and at home.
First, the vice president took Krein
with him on Air Force Two to a conference on regenerative health hosted by Pope
Francis at the Vatican in April 2016.
“Conference attendees included a
who’s who of scientific researchers in medicine from around the world,”
Schweizer notes.
Then in May, Krein was tasked with
introducing his father-in-law at a major health industry data conference hosted
by the Obama administration. The opportunity provided free publicity to the
company as it planned to expand its portfolio.
In October 2016, Biden appeared
alongside StartUp Health’s CEO at the Cleveland Clinic’s Medical Innovation
Summit. During his remarks, Biden praised StartUp Health as an innovator in the
health care market and claimed companies like it would be essential to winning the battle
against cancer.
Apart from arranging access and
touting the company in public, Biden also took steps in the waning days of the
Obama administration to boost investment in StartUp Health. In January 2017,
Biden made one of his final appearances as vice president at a festival hosted
by the company in San Francisco, California. At the event, Biden lauded StartUp
Health’s success to 250 attendees, including members and prospective donors.
Ironically, at the same time he was
working to promote his son-in-law’s business, Biden was also claiming his
children had chosen careers unlikely to make them rich.
“I wish my kids would become
wealthy,” Biden told the International
Association of Fire Fighters in July 2012 while lambasting the economic
policies of then-Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney.
Profile in Corruption outlines how Biden’s children and other members of his
family did just that while he was in political office.
Biden was enriching more
family members than just Hunter
According
to Schwiezer, Biden was fibbing when he announced last year, “I never talked
with my son or my brother or anyone else — even distant family — about their
business interests. Period.” The truth is that Biden’s business conversations
not only benefited Hunter, they also benefitted Biden’s son-in-law Howard, his
brothers James and Frank, and his sister Valerie. Loose lips enrich sibs.
James
Biden was a welcome friend in the Obama White House. “Sometimes, James’ White
House visits dovetailed with his overseas business dealings, and his commercial
opportunities flourished during his brother’s tenure as vice president.” For
example, just three weeks after Biden’s longtime friend Kevin Justice,
president of HillStone International, a subsidiary of a huge construction
management firm, visited the White House, HillStone announced that James Biden
was its new Executive Vice President.
No
one cared that Biden had no experience in construction management. What might
have mattered was that, six months later, the firm got a contract to build
100,000 homes in Iraq, plus a $22 million U.S. federal government contract to
manage a State Department project. An executive in the parent company later
told investors it helped to have the vice president’s brother as a partner.
The
book excerpt also tells how Hunter -- a man known for drugs, alcohol, taking up
with his brother’s widow, fathering a child on a stripper, dumping the stripper
and his child, and marrying another woman –made bank in Ukraine thanks to
his father’s connections. It’s a complicated, unsavory story, but the bottom
line is the same as for James: Hunter got an immensely profitable job for which
he was completely unqualified because Biden allowed Hunter to piggyback
off of Biden’s connections.
When
it came to his kids, Biden didn’t stop with Hunter. His daughter, Ashley,
married a doctor, Howard Krein. Howard and his siblings open StartUp Health, an
investment consultancy firm. In 2011, when the firm had just opened, two of the
firm’s executives were invited to meet with Obama and Biden. The next day, this
barely hatched entity hit the big time:
The following day the new company would be
featured at a large health care tech conference being run by the U.S.
Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), and StartUp Health executives
became regular visitors to the White House, attending events in 2011, 2014 and
2015.
How did StartUp Health gain access to the highest
levels of power in Washington? There was nothing particularly unique about the
company, but for this:
For
years after, including his years in the White House, Biden made a point of
promoting the company.
James
also wasn’t the only one of his siblings Biden helped. In March 2009, Biden
went to Costa Rica. The last time a high-ranking American official went to
Costa Rica was in 1997 when Bill Clinton traveled there. Biden’s trip may not
have been a coincidence:
Joe Biden’s trip to Costa Rica came at a
fortuitous time for his brother Frank, who was busy working deals in the
country. Just months after Vice President Biden’s visit, in August, Costa Rica
News announced a new multilateral partnership “to reform Real Estate in Latin
America” between Frank Biden, a developer named Craig Williamson, and the
Guanacaste Country Club, a newly planned resort.
[snip]
As it happened, Joe Biden had been asked by
President Obama to act as the Administration’s point man in Latin America and
the Caribbean.
Frank’s vision for a country club in Costa Rica
received support from the highest levels of the Costa Rican government— despite
his lack of experience in building such developments. He met with the Costa
Rican ministers of education and energy and environment, as well as the
president of the country.
The
same amazing coincidences played out with Biden’s sister Valerie, to whom his
campaigns ended up paying $2.5 million in consulting fees in 2008 alone.
Considering
that the New York Post article is merely a short excerpt
from Peter Schweizer’s Profiles in Corruption, readers can expect to
be exposed to a massive, but readable data dump, explaining how taxpayer funds
and political connections have been funding the lifestyles of the rich and
progressive.
NY Post: ‘Profiles in Corruption’ Reveals How the ‘Biden Five’ Made Millions
Off Joe Biden Connections

Five family members of former Vice
President Joe Biden have scored “sweetheart deals” and “favorable access” thanks
to their connection to the 2020 Democrat White House candidate, reveals the
forthcoming investigative book Profiles in Corruption:
Abuse of Power by America’s Progressive Elite by
five-time New York Times bestselling author and Breitbart News senior
contributor Peter Schweizer.
The
Biden family’s apparent self-enrichment involves no less than five family
members: Joe’s son Hunter, son-in-law Howard, brothers James and Frank, and
sister Valerie.
When
this subject came up in 2019, Biden declared, “I never talked with my son or my
brother or anyone else — even distant family — about their business interests.
Period.”
As
we will see, this is far from the case…
Joe
Biden’s younger brother, James, has been an integral part of the family
political machine from the earliest days when he served as finance chair of
Joe’s 1972 Senate campaign, and the two have remained quite close. After Joe
joined the U.S. Senate, he would bring his brother James along on congressional
delegation trips to places like Ireland, Rome and Africa.
When
Joe became vice president, James was a welcomed guest at the White House,
securing invitations to such important functions as a state dinner in 2011 and
the visit of Pope Francis in 2015. Sometimes, James’ White House visits
dovetailed with his overseas business dealings, and his commercial
opportunities flourished during his brother’s tenure as vice president.
