JOE BIDEN - MY PARTY HAS ALWAYS BAILED OUT WALL STREET - WHY ELSE WOULD THE BANKSTERS PUMP SO MUCH MONEY INTO US?

 JOE BIDEN, BANKSTERS' FAVE SLUT FOR WALL STREET


According to Adam J. Levitin, professor of law at Georgetown University, BAPCPA “was perhaps the most anti-middle class piece of legislation in the past century.” And, as Levitin writes, “Biden used his clout to push for the law’s passage and to defeat amendments to shield servicemembers, women, and children from its harsh treatment. When votes were taken, ‘Middle-Class Joe’ was no friend to the middle class.” It sure seems that Biden abandoned his Lunchbox Joe persona when it came to voting in favor of BAPCPA, not to mention that he strongly supported amendments that made the bill even more hostile to the middle class!

And adding insult to injury, Biden also voted against several amendments that were specifically meant to help several “underprivileged” groups.  As Levitin writes, “He voted against three amendments to ease bankruptcy requirements for consumers whose financial troubles stem from medical expenses. He voted against an amendment that would have helped seniors keep their homes. He voted against exempting servicemembers and widows of servicemembers killed in action from the law’s eligibility restrictions. He voted against an amendment to exempt women whose financial troubles stemmed from deadbeat husbands’ failure to pay child support or alimony. And Biden even voted against an amendment that would have ensured that children of debtors could still be given birthday and Christmas presents. Biden also voted against allowing debtors to pay their union dues during bankruptcy, potentially imperiling their employment and ability to achieve financial rehabilitation.” Could Biden’s voting record on this bill get any worse? Actually, yes.

Not only did Biden strongly oppose BAPCPA amendments aimed to help “disadvantaged” groups, he voted for two giant loopholes that effectively allowed millionaires to shield their assets from collectors after they filed for bankruptcy. What a joke, Joe.

As a senator, Biden vigorously voted for several similar bills. In short, based on his voting record, Joe Biden is not (and never was) a champion of disadvantaged Americans, unless you consider multi-billion-dollar credit card corporations and millionaires “disadvantaged.”

Fed maintains money flow to Wall Street

The US Federal Reserve has kept its base interest rate at near zero and maintained its asset purchases at the rate of $120 billion a month. That decision, announced yesterday after a two-day meeting of its policy-making committee, was expected.

But in response to concerns by some members of the Fed’s governing body that the present sharp rise in inflation may prove to be permanent rather than a “transitory” effect of economic recovery from the pandemic, the official statement from the meeting hinted that “tapering” of its bond purchases may be closer than previously thought.

Last December, the Fed said its asset purchases would continue until “substantial further progress” had been made toward its goals—full employment and 2 percent inflation.

“Since then,” the statement said, “the economy has made progress towards these goals, and the committee will continue to assess progress in coming meetings.”

This was widely interpreted as a signal that it was at least moving to a closer consideration of a wind-back in asset purchases.

But Fed chair Jerome Powell, who has been characterised as occupying a centre position between the so-called doves and hawks within the governing body, made clear there were no immediate plans to withdraw the unprecedented levels of support the central bank has provided to financial markets and Wall Street.

With US employment levels still some 7 or 8 million below where they were before the pandemic, he said further gains in employment would be needed before any tapering of asset purchases.

“We have some ground to cover on the labour market side,” he said at his press conference following the meeting. He repeated his assertion that inflation was “transitory” while insisting the Fed would use its “tools” to counter any permanent rise.

In his prepared remarks he said conditions in the labour market had continued to improve and demand for labour was “very strong” but “nonetheless, the labour market has a ways to go.”

The focus on the state of the labour market as the reason for the maintenance of flow of money is essentially a cover for the real objective which is to ensure that the monetary props for Wall Street remain in place—a fact that is well known in financial circles.

As Thomas Hayes, chairman of Great Hill Capital, an investment management firm, commented to the Wall Street Journal on Powell’s remarks: “I don’t think he could have been more dovish. There’s nothing that the Fed could do that would be more accommodative to the stock market.”

Despite the Fed’s claim that the US economy is on the road to recovery there are significant contradictory signals. While inflation is rising, along with economic growth, the yields on Treasury bonds have been falling—an indication that financial markets consider growth could stall, if not develop into a recession.

Asked about the divergence between the economic growth outlook and the bond market at his press conference, Powell could offer no explanation apart from saying that it may be due to “technical” factors “where you put things you can’t quite explain.”

The fall in bond yields, a result of increased demand and rise in their price (the two move in opposite directions), has been significant.

At the end of March when there was an expectation of increased growth and inflation, the yield on the 10-year Treasury bond was at a 13-month high of 1.75 percent. By the middle of June it had fallen to 1.57 percent—a significant movement in this market—before dropping further to 1.26 percent on Wednesday. This could well be on the back of financial market expectations that what lies ahead is stagflation––higher prices combined with lower growth.

In an interview on CNN Financial Times columnist and editorial board member Rana Foroohar said in her 30 years in finance journalism she had never seen so many variables—from the effect of the Delta variant, inflation, to lower growth in China—impacting on the global economic outlook.

Apart from the continuing stimulus for Wall Street, another significant decision by the Fed was to establish a new facility to provide liquidity to big Wall Street banks as well as foreign central banks in times of financial turbulence.

Under the facility, the Fed would enter overnight repurchase (repo) agreements in which it would take in Treasury debt and mortgage-backed securities in return for cash at a rate of 0.25 percent. There would be a daily cap on the facility of $500 billion. A similar facility would be extended to foreign central banks with a daily limit of $60 billion. The facility may also be expanded in the future to include deposit-taking banks.

The new facility has been developed in response to the financial market crisis of March 2020 when the $21 trillion US Treasury market—the bedrock of US and global financial system—effectively froze in what was dubbed a “dash for cash” as buyers for Treasury debt disappeared.

The measure has been under discussion for some time as the Fed continues to try to assess what took place in the March crisis. New York Fed chief John Williams said earlier this month that a standing repo facility would not be used much in normal times but if there was an “unanticipated shock” it would keep short-term interest rates from spiking.

Its establishment indicates that another crisis on the scale of March 2020 could take place because none of the underlying problems and contradictions that gave rise to it have been resolved.

The decision of the Fed is in line with recommendations in a report from a group of 30 former central bankers and financial policymakers issued yesterday. The group, which includes former US Treasury secretaries Timothy Geithner and Larry Summers and former Bank of England governor Mervyn King, said reforms were needed to ensure that the most essential bond market was able to function smoothly in times of financial stress.

It said a “standing repo” repo facility was the “single most important near-term measure” that should be adopted.

But it pointed to deeper concerns. “This is a market that has outgrown its infrastructure and its regulatory framework, Oversight is fragmented and diffused. The capacity of existing market makers has not grown with the size of the Treasury market itself,” the group said.

According to Geithner, in remarks reported by the Financial Times, the pressure for reform could be “undermined by the belief that the Fed can always step in and fix things” and this was “not a particularly wise approach.”

The report underscores the findings of a report by the G20 Financial Stability Board last November. It said that while the intervention by the Fed in March 2020, when it pumped out trillions of dollars, may have stabilised the situation, the “financial system remains vulnerable to another liquidity strain, as the underlying structures and mechanisms that gave rise to the turmoil remain in place.”

ALL LAWYERS ARE TRAINED LIARS!

“This is jaw-dropping. It’s just so brazen. Just like the Obama administration, the Biden administration is a lawless administration. He’s not faithfully executing the laws. He’s got an open border. He’s ignoring the Supreme Court ruling. He’s ignoring the Constitution. And yes … there’s the other side of the equation when it comes to rent. It’s called the person who owns the property, that has to keep it up, that has all the expenses of maintaining it. You know, they deserve rent payments, and of course, we have such levels of low unemployment in so many areas that have opened, that have remained opened up, money is sloshing around in this economy.”


Johnson said the decision to extend the moratorium is “jaw-dropping.” He added the Biden administration is “lawless” in the same way as former President Barack Obama’s administration by “ignoring the Constitution.”

Joe Biden, the corrupt, unaccomplished 47-year career politician, with a reputation of having been a proud segregationist, an unabashed plagiarist and liar, a resolute tale-teller, and a serial flip-flopper, is pretending to head up a radical social-democratic ticket for President of the United States that includes as his running mate the ambitious, disagreeable junior senator from California: Kamala Harris. 


Time to impeach Biden

After having appointed a special counsel, or in place of it, under 5 U.S. Code §1212 — Powers and functions of the Office of Special Counsel, specifically under (a) (aB), (a3), Congress must act to impeach this president for high crimes and misdemeanors, gross mismanagement, violating the nation's laws, and endangering the public health and safety of citizens.

(a) The Office of Special Counsel shall—

(1)

in accordance with section 1214(a) and other applicable provisions of this subchapter…

(B)

file a complaint or make recommendations for disciplinary action under section 1215;

(3)

receive, review, and, where appropriate, forward to the Attorney General or an agency head under section 1213, disclosures of violations of any law, rule, or regulation, or gross mismanagement ... an abuse of authority, or a substantial and specific danger to public health or safety[.]

Congress must begin impeachment proceedings against President Joe Biden, V.P. Kamala Harris, Attorney General Merrick B. Garland, and his deputies, who likely have knowledge of the events that squashed investigations into the nation's murderous governors.

The investigations should include the governors, secretaries of state, and attorneys general of New York and Michigan.  Charges include, but are not limited to, obstruction of justice, abuse of authority, abuse of power, abuse of office, covering up criminal activity, conspiracy, and criminal self-dealing.  Considering allegations of potential collusion among these individuals and associates to cover up crimes that resulted in the deaths of citizens, provisions of the RICO Act for fraud and conspiracy to commit fraud shall be attached.

Investigative subpoenas to the staffs of these politicians must be prepared immediately to protect the integrity of the nation's justice and political systems, primarily its national security to protect America's citizens from harm.

This administration's corruption of Department of Justice investigations into the COVID deaths of thousands of innocent Americans at the hands of negligent and profiteering Democrat governors is an unconscionable violation of the standards and norms of governance.  The EOs and fraudulent reports signed by these governors were designed to keep them, and other Democrats allied with them, in power.  These COVID deaths are the documented results of the official malfeasance, mismanagement, and self-aggrandizement of the Democrat politicians who had control of and misgoverned their respective health care systems.  They placed their political interests first, the health, welfare, and lives of their citizens last.

Behind mismanaging their respective health care systems that wasted billions of taxpayer dollars while killing, rather than curing patients, these politicians opportunistically used the tragedy of the pandemic to campaign for themselves seeking higher office (the same assisted by partisan media soft money).  Negligently having created the health care debacle to begin with, they avoided accountability for their lethal decisions.

These Democrats not only were committing criminal fraud against the people, but have blood on their hands.

Blocking investigations across several blue states is a criminal shirking of presidential responsibility and duty worthy of impeachment.  Biden covered up for self-dealing Democrats Gretchen Whitmer and Andrew Cuomo, who deliberately, solely for political advantage, made choices to endanger their state's citizens, and then filed deceitful, fraudulent reports on the number of deaths.  All for political advantage.

The civil rights of American citizens were first violated by Cuomo and Whitmer, whose negligence took their lives, and their survivor's civil rights were violated again by Biden's blocking the only path to accountability and justice.

Did these two governors actually murder their respective state's citizens?

RES IPSA LIQUITUR: The Facts Speak for Themselves.

Democrats involved in this scheme to cover up their associates' high crimes have faced no accountability for misdeeds that are real (as opposed to the fake impeachment of Donald Trump for Joe Biden's crimes in Ukraine and China).

This abuse of power, by and for Democrats only, sets double-standards as precedents for politicians on the public dole to freely continue their persistent criminal corruption and self-dealing.

18 USC §1503 OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE (REFERENCE)

Obstruction of Justice occurs when an investigation in process is obstructed by withholding information from ... or [having] ordered a subordinate to not proceed or dismiss a case.

Definition

18 USC §1503 defines "obstruction of justice" as an act that "corruptly or by threats or force, or by any threatening ... communication, influences, obstructs, or impedes, or endeavors to influence, obstruct, or impede, the due administration of justice."

Overview

Someone obstructs justice when that person has a specific intent to obstruct or interfere with a judicial proceeding. For a person to be convicted of obstructing justice, that person must not only have the specific intent to obstruct the proceeding, but that person must know (1) that a proceeding was actually pending at the time; and (2) there must be a connection between the endeavor to obstruct justice and the proceeding, and the person must have knowledge of this connection.

§ 1503 applies ... to federal judicial proceedings. Under 18 USC §1505 a defendant can be convicted of obstruction of justice by obstructing a pending proceeding before Congress or a federal administrative agency.

This president, as well as the former president who enacted a coup to save his broken legacy and destroy the pro-American legacy of his successor, has been corrupting the justice bureaucracy to benefit himself and his agenda of malfeasance and corruption.

ABUSE OF POWER/ABUSE OF OFFICE (REFERENCE)

§11.448 Abuse of office.

A person acting or purporting to act in an official capacity or taking advantage of such actual or purported capacity commits a misdemeanor if, knowing that his or her conduct is illegal, he or she denies or impedes another in the exercise of an investigation or enjoyment of any right, privilege, power or immunity.

Congress, state attorneys general, federal judges, America-first organizations with the resources to influence, GOP, take note: you have an obligation.  You know what to do.  Do it now!

Weinstein Fixers Donated to the Biden Campaign and Serve in the White House

Biden linked to Democratic operatives and security firm that smeared Weinstein accusers

President Joe Biden has links to multiple Democratic operatives and a private security firm that served as "fixers" for convicted rapist Harvey Weinstein.

One of Biden’s White House advisers is Anita Dunn, a longtime political operative who advised Weinstein ahead of a bombshell story in 2017 about his sexual misconduct. Biden’s campaign last year hired a private intelligence firm, K2 Intelligence, that years earlier collected dirt on one of Weinstein’s accusers in order to block a criminal investigation of the producer.

David Boies, a prominent Democratic attorney who represented Weinstein, gave $130,600 to the Biden Victory Fund, a pro-Biden political action committee, and $5,600 to Biden’s campaign, according to Federal Election Commission records.

Once one of Hollywood’s most powerful producers, Weinstein was sentenced to 23 years in prison in March 2020. Dozens of women have accused him of sexual assault and other misconduct.

Boies, Dunn, and K2 Intelligence have all been accused of helping Weinstein either smear women who accused him of sexual abuse, or avoid negative publicity for his misdeeds.

The New York Times, which Boies represented, cut ties with the super-lawyer in November 2017 after a report revealed that he hired a private intelligence firm, Black Cube, to spy on Weinstein accusers. One of the objectives of the Black Cube contract was to kill a Times investigation into Weinstein’s sexual misconduct.

Biden has another link to Boies. Hunter Biden worked from 2011 to 2018 as an adviser to Boies’s firm, Boies Schiller Flexner. Biden brought in the firm to help represent Burisma Holdings in 2014, shortly after he had joined the Ukrainian gas company’s board of directors.

Emails from Hunter Biden’s laptop show that he and Boies Schiller partners discussed a campaign to lobby U.S. policymakers on behalf of Burisma, whose owner was the subject of a bribery investigation at the time. Boies Schiller did not disclose its lobbying activities to Congress, the Washington Free Beacon reported.

K2 Intelligence worked for Weinstein to discredit one of his accusers. A lawyer for Weinstein, Elkan Abramowitz, hired K2 to dig up dirt on the sexual history of Ambra Battilana Gutierrez, an Italian model who accused Weinstein of raping her in 2015. K2 then allegedly fed the information, which included an allegation that Gutierrez worked as a prostitute, to the Manhattan district attorney’s office. Abramowitz contributed $6,600 to Biden’s campaign and the Biden Victory Fund.

The Biden campaign paid K2 more than $7,700 late last year for digital services and technology consulting. Only one other political campaign has hired K2 Intelligence. Sen. Mark Kelly (D., Ariz.) has paid K2 more than $425,000 for security services since December, according to FEC records.

Dunn, who serves as senior adviser to Biden, advised Weinstein in September 2017, prior to the publication of the Times report about his sexual misconduct. Dunn insisted that she was not paid by Weinstein, and that she spoke with the disgraced mogul at the request of a friend.

Dunn has more recently been accused of evading federal ethics rules for failing to file financial disclosures. The Revolving Door Project, a government transparency group, accused Dunn of taking a low salary in order to avoid having to file an annual financial disclosure. The filing would require Dunn to give details of her clients at SKDKnickerbocker, the Democrat-connected public relations firm where she was a partner.

Journalists Must Stop Covering the Biden Presidency Like It’s Normal

'Politics as usual' approach to reporting won't cut it, will only enable our norm-defying commander in chief

 • August 3, 2021 4:59 am

SHARE

Every American, especially the ones with journalism degrees, understands the critical role journalists play in sustaining our democracy. If politics is the moral equivalent of war—and most experts agree that it is—journalists are the elite commandos operating behind enemy lines, risking it all so the rest of us don't have to.

One shudders to imagine the wretched authoritarianism that might have befallen our great nation if, for example, CNN chief media correspondent Brian Stelter had lacked the courage to spellcheck former president Donald Trump's tweets. Nevertheless, the threat to American democracy persists.

Political journalists have yet to prove they are up to the challenge of covering Joe Biden's norm-defying presidency. Instead, they cling bitterly to "objectivity," the arcane notion that defined the journalism industry in the years before its largely blue-collar workforce could be replaced by educated intellectuals.

As Margaret Sullivan writes in the Washington Post: "Mainstream journalists want their work to be perceived as fair-minded and nonpartisan. They want to defend themselves against charges of bias. So they equalize the unequal. This practice seems so ingrained as to be unresolvable."

Given the unique challenge Biden and his allies pose to the American democratic experiment, a "politics as usual" approach to journalism is not only inadequate—it is downright dangerous. Effective immediately, our nation's journalists—whose heroism is beyond dispute—must stop covering this moment in history as if there's anything "normal" about it. There isn't!

Biden promised to put an end to the COVID-19 pandemic, yet the virus continues to decimate the population. Cape Cod and Martha's Vineyard, elite enclaves frequented by Biden supporters, have become hotbeds of contagion. Democratic politicians have waged biological warfare on Washington, D.C., where the Democratic mayor continues to put lives at risk by ignoring safety protocols.

Journalistic convention might suggest there are "two sides" to a story about Democratic politicians behaving with a reckless disregard for human life. Common sense suggests otherwise.

Speaking of Martha's Vineyard, that's where former president Barack Obama is hosting a super spreader event later this week. He's throwing himself a 60th birthday bash at his $12 million mansion, where nearly 700 people are expected to attend. George Clooney, Oprah Winfrey, and Steven Spielberg are among the invited guests.

Journalistic convention might suggest this frightening example of pathological narcissism is merely a "quirk" that Obama's base—Ivy League grads with multiple homes—finds relatable. Common sense suggests that if it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck.

Biden continues to humiliate himself in public, while U.S. athletes embarrass their country at the Olympics. To be fair, we can't really expect them to project American greatness abroad when their commander in chief is drooling all over himself at home. Leadership starts at the top.

Journalistic convention might suggest that invoking the 25th Amendment—by which a president can be removed if deemed "unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office"—is an extreme measure that doesn't deserve serious consideration. Think again!

Meanwhile, Biden's adult son Hunter, a former

 crackhead, is poised to make a fortune selling

 his "artwork" to patrons who will

 remain anonymous, except to the "artist"

 himself. Hunter's paintings, which have been

 panned by critics, are expected to sell for as

 high as $500,000 a piece. He was previously

 paid $2 million to fabricate stories in a memoir

 about his crack addiction and is presumably

 still "working to unwind" his investment in a

 shady Chinese investment firm.

Journalistic convention might suggest this isn't normal—that a president's son so blatantly seeking to cash in on his father's name is a scandal worth reporting as such. In this case, journalistic convention would be right, but for some reason, our typically fearless journalists have expressed little interest in doing so. Common sense suggests their passion for investigating Democrats is not as intense as their passion for investigating Republicans.

Ron Johnson: Biden Eviction Moratorium ‘Jaw-Dropping’; Says Biden Admin ‘Lawless’ Like Obama Admin

1:51

Thursday on Fox News Radio’s “The Brian Kilmeade Show,” Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) hit President Joe Biden for extending the eviction moratorium amid a recent surge in coronavirus cases.

Johnson said the decision to extend the moratorium is “jaw-dropping.” He added the Biden administration is “lawless” in the same way as former President Barack Obama’s administration by “ignoring the Constitution.”

“This is jaw-dropping. It’s just so brazen. Just like the Obama administration, the Biden administration is a lawless administration. He’s not faithfully executing the laws. He’s got an open border. He’s ignoring the Supreme Court ruling. He’s ignoring the Constitution. And yes … there’s the other side of the equation when it comes to rent. It’s called the person who owns the property, that has to keep it up, that has all the expenses of maintaining it. You know, they deserve rent payments, and of course, we have such levels of low unemployment in so many areas that have opened, that have remained opened up, money is sloshing around in this economy.”

He continued, “This eviction moratorium should have ended. It should have ended a long time ago. I didn’t even necessarily agree with it to begin with. You’d be better off providing people direct financial assistance as opposed to harming the other side of the equation, which is the landlords. Where’s the compassion for those individuals?”

“This is so out of whack in terms of just economic realities, but that’s the Democratic platform. That’s what liberals are all about, making no sense whatsoever economically,” Johnson concluded.

Exclusive – Mike Pompeo Rips Biden Immigration Policy: ‘Of Course It’s a National Security Problem’

FRANKLIN, Tennessee — Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo ripped the immigration policy of the Biden administration in an exclusive interview with Breitbart News in Franklin, Tennessee, on Saturday.

Pompeo criticized the Biden administration’s announcement it will increase the number of refugees allowed to legally enter the country by more than 600 percent in its first full fiscal year, FY 2022, compared to the Trump administration’s last full fiscal year, FY 2020.

The former Secretary of State also blasted the Biden administration’s failures on the southern border, which has permitted the entry of more than one million illegal aliens into the United States since President Joe Biden’s inauguration on January 20 of this year.

Breitbart News asked, “In the last full fiscal year of the Obama administration, 80,000 refugees were allowed to enter into the United States, some from hotbeds of terrorism, like Syria, Sudan, and Yemen. Your last full fiscal year, it was down to something like 18,000, with no refugees from these hotbeds of terrorism. Now, under the Biden administration, this next fiscal year, 125,000 refugees will be allowed to enter the United States. There’s no indication the Biden administration will prevent refugees from these hotbeds of terrorism from entering the United States legally as refugees. Is that a national security problem?”

“Of course it’s a national security problem, in the same way that the transit of people across our borders who are coming here unlawfully is a national security problem,” Pompeo said.

“We were very clear. America’s always a generous place. We welcome those who have real problems and want to come to America and are under threat, under our asylum laws. We’re the most generous nation in the history of the world with respect to asylum, but we need to secure America and America’s borders, and we need to make sure we know who’s coming across, and the numbers that are coming across,” he continued.

“As we sit here today, the numbers that are coming across, both unlawfully and formally through our asylum and refugee programs, are staggering, and I am very concerned that they are not sufficiently vetted in a way that can protect the American people from the threats that they may pose,” Pompeo added.

Breitbart News also asked about China and the coming Winter Olympics in that country.

“Why should the United States boycott the upcoming Winter Olympics in China? I think you’ve called them the Genocide Olympics,” Breitbart News asked.

“Today there are more than one million human beings that are being wrongfully interned in China. They are being forced to separate from their families. Women are being forced to be sterilized. There are forced abortions taking place. This is among the most horrific human rights violations that our humankind has ever seen,” Pompeo answered.

“This is ongoing,” he said emphatically.

“It’s not that it happened ten years ago or two years ago. It’s happening even as we sit here today,” the former secretary of state stated.

“To send American athletes, to reward Xi Jinping for that kind of behavior, to ask them to be just literally miles from the place where this is taking place it would remind us of what happened in the 1930s,” Pompeo continued.

“We ought not to honor this Genocide Olympics. Xi Jinping is a horrible human rights violator. We have many other options about how we could do this. We moved a baseball game in a matter of hours, surely we could move an Olympics in a matter of months and months, and if we need to delay our Olympics for a bit so our amazing athletes can all go show the world their greatness, their athletic prowess, so be it,” he added.

“We shouldn’t be there. We shouldn’t be there working to support the Chinese Communist Party with all the money that will come from that, the sponsors, the American TV audience that will come from that. I can tell you this, I wouldn’t send my child to China, given the conditions that are taking place there and the number of Americans that they continue to hold, and business people they continue to hold unlawfully,” Pompeo concluded on the China question.

Breitbart News then turned the conversation to Afghanistan.

“How would the Trump administration have handled the exit from Afghanistan differently than the Biden administration?” Breitbart News asked.

“We don’t know exactly what they’re going to do just yet,” Pompeo responded.

“I had two missions that the president gave me as Secretary of State. The first mission was to get our young people home, to get them out of harm’s way. The second was to make sure we left the capacity to reduce the risk we would ever be attacked from Tora Bora or Afghanistan again,” Pompeo explained.

“I met with the Taliban. We had multiple discussions. I was meeting with people that I’m almost certain had killed friends of mine,” Pompeo continued.

“What was that like? What kind of guys were they?” Breitbart News asked.

“They were bad guys. They were very bad people who don’t care about human rights. They have an interpretation of Sharia that is violative of all the central things that we know and value and how you should treat other human beings,” he continued.

“But in the end, you make peace and reconciliation with your adversaries, with your enemies. And so we were trying to find a path forward. I hope the Biden administration will do this. I hope they are still sincere in their effort to do the second part of the mission set, which is to ensure that we’re never attacked again from Afghanistan. When we left office, there were fewer than two hundred Al Qaeda left in Afghanistan, down from the thousands that were there almost exactly 20 years ago. That’s a really good thing, and we should be proud of the work we did to crush Al Qaeda in Afghanistan. But today, they’re in Africa, they’re in Yemen, they’re in Southeast Asia,” the former Secretary of State said.

“We need to make sure our resources are deployed appropriately to protect our homeland. And that’s the mission set. It’s the mission set President [Donald] Trump had given me. I’m confident we would have delivered on both of those missions. I pray the Biden administration can get both of those right,” he concluded.

Pompeo closed out the interview by noting that he is traveling across the country to help secure 2022 midterm election victories for Republicans running for Congress in both the House of Representatives and the Senate.

Former Secretary of State Pompeo was in Franklin, Tennessee on Saturday as the featured speaker at a Williamson County Republican Party event, The Best is Yet to Come: An Evening with Secretary Mike Pompeo.

BIDEN WAS SELECTED BY BANKSTER-OWNED OBAMA BECAUSE OF HIS LONG HISTORY OF SERVING THE BANKSTERS!

 

Biden backed brutal bankruptcy bill in 2005

By Chris Talgo

In 1999, then-Sen. Joe Biden (D-DE) declared, “I’m not the senator from MBNA.” Apparently, Biden felt it was necessary to clarify that he did not exclusively represent credit card giant MBNA because his constituents were thoroughly confused, based on his track record of being a shill for credit card companies located in the First State.

Then, six years later, Biden inserted his foot directly into his mouth (again) when he championed the notorious (and ill-named) Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act (BAPCPA). A more appropriate name could have been the Act to Protect Credit Card Companies and Shaft Students and Workers.

In short, BAPCPA was a terrible bill that favored credit card companies, big banks, and millionaires over working-class borrowers. It also is solely responsible for the fact that student loan debt is totally impossible to dismiss -- even after one has declared bankruptcy.

Wait a minute, I thought Joe Biden was the consummate defender and advocate of the working class and oppressed. Far from it. In reality,Biden’s political career of more than four decades was predicated upon protecting the interests of credit card companies. 

And he and his son, Hunter, were compensated handsomely for doing so. According to a 2019 GQ article titled “How Biden Helped Strip Bankruptcy Protection From Millions Just Before a Recession” -- “one of the biggest credit card companies in Delaware, MBNA, hired Joe Biden's son Hunter in 1996. Even after Hunter became a federal lobbyist in 2001, he stayed on at MBNA as a consultant at a fee of $100,000 per year, meaning he was pulling in a six-figure salary at the same time his father was pushing for the industry's top priorities.” Can you say, quid pro quo, Joe?

As if the backroom deals and “you scratch my back, and I’ll scratch yours” shenanigans that Biden blatantly engaged in before, during, and after BAPCPA was passed were not bad enough, the bill wrought untold damage among the very people Biden constantly claims to protect.

According to Adam J. Levitin, professor of law at Georgetown University, BAPCPA “was perhaps the most anti-middle class piece of legislation in the past century.” And, as Levitin writes, “Biden used his clout to push for the law’s passage and to defeat amendments to shield servicemembers, women, and children from its harsh treatment. When votes were taken, ‘Middle-Class Joe’ was no friend to the middle class.” It sure seems that Biden abandoned his Lunchbox Joe persona when it came to voting in favor of BAPCPA, not to mention that he strongly supported amendments that made the bill even more hostile to the middle class!

And adding insult to injury, Biden also voted against several amendments that were specifically meant to help several “underprivileged” groups.  As Levitin writes, “He voted against three amendments to ease bankruptcy requirements for consumers whose financial troubles stem from medical expenses. He voted against an amendment that would have helped seniors keep their homes. He voted against exempting servicemembers and widows of servicemembers killed in action from the law’s eligibility restrictions. He voted against an amendment to exempt women whose financial troubles stemmed from deadbeat husbands’ failure to pay child support or alimony. And Biden even voted against an amendment that would have ensured that children of debtors could still be given birthday and Christmas presents. Biden also voted against allowing debtors to pay their union dues during bankruptcy, potentially imperiling their employment and ability to achieve financial rehabilitation.” Could Biden’s voting record on this bill get any worse? Actually, yes.

Not only did Biden strongly oppose BAPCPA amendments aimed to help “disadvantaged” groups, he voted for two giant loopholes that effectively allowed millionaires to shield their assets from collectors after they filed for bankruptcy. What a joke, Joe.

As a senator, Biden vigorously voted for several similar bills. In short, based on his voting record, Joe Biden is not (and never was) a champion of disadvantaged Americans, unless you consider multi-billion-dollar credit card corporations and millionaires “disadvantaged.”
