BRIBES SUCKER JOE BIDEN TO PARDON CRACKHEAD HUNTER AND JAMES. KAMALA HARRIS WILL PARDON SENILE JOE. BUT WHO WILL PARDON THE CLINTON CRIME DUAL OR CHINA'S GREAT WHORE FEINSTEIN??? OBOMB?

 

THESE ARE SIX OF THE MOST CORRUPT POLITICIANS 

IN MODERN AMERICAN HISTORY! ALL ARE GAMER LAWYERS BUT GAMER INSIDE TRADER PELOSI


There it is.  That's the issue.  To begin, you have the corrupt family Biden.  They've been scamming us and our system well for almost fifty years.  The man is supposedly worth over 250 million dollars.  How is this possible on his salary?  It's not.  So where did his wealth come from?  Not from being a brilliant businessman. DAVID PRENTICE


Most recently and dramatically, Biden lied about his knowledge of his son's shady dealings,  lied about his own involvement in corruption and bribery, and lied about his current presidential agenda and what he wants to implement in regards to energy, fracking, court-packing, health care, education, and COVID among other issues.

Biden is, and has always been, a pathological liar of the worst kind, the kind who lies to boost his own ego no matter how easy it is to prove his dishonesty. MONICA SHOWALTER

 Joe Biden didn’t do anything wrong? A time-honored method of taking bribes is having them paid to a family member, usually in exchange for nominal or nonexistent services. It is comical to watch “reporters” pretend not to understand this. MONICA SHOWALTER

White House Refuses to Rule out Joe Biden Pardon for Hunter Biden

The White House refused to rule out President Joe Biden issuing a presidential pardon for his son Hunter Biden or for his brother James Biden as federal investigations continue over their foreign business dealings.

“That’s not a hypothetical I’m going to entertain,” White House communications director Kate Bedingfield said during the daily press briefing when asked about a potential pardon “I don’t have anything to add from this podium.”

Bedingfield was reluctant to address any aspect of the Hunter Biden story, after CNNThe Washington Post, and the New York Times recently published stories about the federal tax probe into Hunter Biden and his foreign business deals.

When asked additional questions about Hunter Biden and the president’s brother James Biden, Bedingfield would only reply, “I don’t have anything further to add from this podium.”

CNN reported the investigation has “gained steam” as a growing number witnesses are scheduled to testify in the case.

The Washington Post confirmed reports from other media outlets that Biden was paid nearly $5 million by the CEFC China Energy conglomerate — even though Joe Biden denied during the campaign that his son made any money in China.

“My son has not made money in terms of this thing about, what are you talking about, China,” Biden said during the third presidential debate moderated by NBC’s Kristen Welker.

Bedingfield said the White House stood by Biden’s claim, despite reporting proving it false.

“We absolutely stand by the president’s comment,” Bedingfield told Welker when asked for an update on Biden’s debate claim.

Investigations turn up the heat on Hunter Biden

Further proof emerged this week of a financial relationship between President Biden’s son Hunter, the president’s brother James and a Chinese company with reportedly close ties to that country’s ruling Communist Party.

In addition, the Wall Street Journal reported this week that the Justice Department’s probe into Hunter Biden is gaining momentum. He acknowledged last December that federal investigators were looking at his taxes. But the New York Times reported in March that the Justice Department is also looking at whether he may have violated money laundering and foreign lobbying laws.

Meanwhile, allegations that Russian disinformation may have produced or manipulated emails found on a laptop abandoned by Hunter Biden at a computer repair shop in 2019 were debunked by the Washington Post.

No clear-cut evidence of wrongdoing by President Biden has emerged. But this week Republicans resurrected questions they have raised for years: whether Hunter Biden’s dealings with CEFC China Energy, the Chinese company that paid him and his uncle around $5 million in 2017, may have exposed the president to potential conflicts of interest with regard to the Chinese government.

“We may never know all the details of the Biden family foreign entanglements, or the full extent to which those entanglements compromise our current president,” Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., said this week in a speech on the matter that he delivered on the Senate floor.

While Johnson’s remarks are speculative, Hunter Biden’s actions over the past decade have provided plenty of reason for such speculation.

His extensive connections to a Chinese businessman named Ye Jianming, the founder of CEFC, have been reported in the past.

“Hunter Biden received millions of dollars from foreign sources as a result of business relationships that he built during the period when his father was vice president of the United States and after,” read a report released by Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, and Johnson in September 2020, which detailed Hunter Biden’s dealings with Ye. “The financial transactions illustrate serious counterintelligence and extortion concerns relating to Hunter Biden and his family,” the report said.

The GOP report alleged connections between Ye and the Chinese Communist Party and the Chinese military. The New York Times in 2018 reported that CEFC was one of the few “Chinese companies to receive Beijing’s approval to chase splashy deals at a time when the government has mostly restricted overseas acquisitions.” A supplemental report by Grassley and Johnson two weeks after the presidential election detailed further links between Ye and Hunter and James Biden.

This week, Johnson and Grassley released documents showing receipts of millions of dollars of payments from CEFC to Hunter and James Biden beginning in August 2017. That September, Hunter Biden signed an agreement to represent Patrick Ho, who worked for CEFC, for a $1 million retainer, according to the Washington Post.

In November of that same year, Ho was arrested by U.S. federal agents in New York. He was found guilty by a jury a year later of bribing African government officials to secure their approval of energy contracts.

The Washington Post also reported that security experts had verified the validity of some emails from Hunter Biden’s laptop. Those emails were first reported in the fall of 2020 by the New York Post, which said that the computer had been left at a computer repair shop in 2019.

But with the presidential election two weeks away, Twitter blocked users from accessing the Post article for two days after its release, citing a policy against allowing the publication of hacked material. After an uproar, Twitter unblocked the article, but not before Republicans accused the tech giant of trying to meddle in the election.

Following the release of the New York Post report, a host of former diplomats and U.S. intelligence officials released a letter stating that the article “has all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation,” even as they acknowledged that “we do not have evidence of Russian involvement.”

The Biden campaign echoed the charges of Russian disinformation at the time. But the debunking of the Russian disinformation accusation now has led conservatives to claim that the incident showed liberal bias in the media and at the Big Tech companies.

The New York Post article in 2020 focused on Hunter Biden’s dealings with a Ukrainian energy company, Burisma Holdings, and implied that Joe Biden’s diplomacy in Ukraine during his time as vice president was influenced by his son’s financial interests.

Hunter Biden joined the board of Burisma in 2014 despite having little experience in the energy sector or Ukraine, and he was reportedly paid up to $50,000 a month by the company. He left it in 2019.

President Donald Trump was impeached in 2019 for pressuring the Ukrainian government and its newly elected president, Volodymyr Zelensky, to dig up dirt on the Bidens. Trump, in turn, accused Joe Biden of pressuring the Ukrainians to fire a prosecutor who was investigating Burisma, using his influence as vice president to help his son’s business interests. These claims fell apart upon closer examination.

However, a few days after the Post published its article in 2020, an ex-business partner of Hunter Biden accused Joe Biden — then a candidate for president — of being involved in his son’s dealings with CEFC. Anthony Bobulinski said he took part in a meeting in Los Angeles in 2017 where Joe, James and Hunter Biden were all present and an investment deal with CEFC was discussed.

Bobulinski also provided emails to the Wall Street Journal that purportedly showed another business partner, James Gilliar, sent him a message in May 2017 discussing how each partner in the deal with CEFC would be compensated. The email said three partners — Hunter Biden, Rob Walker and Bobulinski — would receive 20%, with James Biden getting 10%.

And then the email said, “10 held by H for the big guy?”

Bobulinski, who made his statements at an event hosted by the Trump campaign less than two weeks before the presidential election, said that the “big guy” was Hunter Biden’s nickname for his dad and that it was clearly a reference to Joe Biden. “The Biden family aggressively leveraged the Biden family name to make millions of dollars from foreign entities even though some were from Communist-controlled China,” Bobulinski told the New York Post.

The energy project under discussion in the emails provided by Bobulinski never panned out. But CEFC paid Hunter Biden $3.8 million for consulting and a $1 million retainer fee.

The Biden administration has insisted that President Biden “has never even considered being involved in business with his family, nor in any overseas business whatsoever.”

Hunter Biden has spoken publicly over the last several years about his previous addictions to alcohol and drugs. His ex-wife Kathleen Buhle alleged in divorce papers in 2017 that he “created financial concerns for the family by spending extravagantly on his own interests (including drugs, alcohol, prostitutes, strip clubs, and gifts for women with whom he has sexual relations), while leaving the family with no funds to pay legitimate bills.”

CEFC founder Ye, meanwhile, has not been seen since he was taken into custody by the Chinese government early in 2018.

Joe Biden, who has repeatedly defended Hunter, has joined the company of other American leaders who have been put in a tight spot by family business dealings. Presidents Richard NixonGeorge H.W. Bush and Bill Clinton, to cite just three examples, were all accused by rivals of allowing family members to profit from their political connections.

Democrats push House vote on legalizing recreational marijuana, but GOP opposed

Brad Horrigan/TNS/TNS

House Democrats were poised Friday to pass a bill legalizing marijuana throughout the nation, but its future remains hazy, with Republicans mostly opposed.

The bill would make marijuana legal on the federal level and help roll back the so-called war on drugs that has disproportionately targeted people of color.

“Whatever one’s views are on the use of marijuana for recreational or medicinal use, the policy of arrests, prosecution, and incarceration at the federal level has proven both unwise and unjust,” Rep. Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y., a key sponsor of the bill, said Friday.

The measure, known as the Marijuana Opportunity Reinvestment and Expungement (MORE) Act, would snuff out all criminal penalties linked to marijuana and establish a process to expunge old convictions from records. It would also impose a federal tax on the legal sales of the drug.

The bill is expected to pass the House along party lines. Still, it faces a cloudy future due to Republican opposition in the evenly divided Senate, in which 60 votes are needed to override a potential filibuster.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., says he plans to bring the bill up for an up-or-down vote, which may pressure some lawmakers to take a stand.

There is little doubt that legalization is widely popular with voters, with large majorities in both parties supporting it in recent polls.

At least 18 states and the District of Columbia allow recreational use of marijuana. Some 37 states allow weed for medical use.

“Americans have made their support for cannabis legalization abundantly clear. Now it is time for Congress to take action and finally put an end to the failed policy of prohibition,” said Toi Hutchinson, president and CEO of the Marijuana Policy Project, an advocacy group.

Biden immigration decision could make midterm climate even tougher for Democrats

Minutes after President Biden’s administration rescinded Trump-era pandemic restrictions along the U.S.-Mexico border that effectively blocked migrants from entering the U.S. to seek asylum, Republicans warned it would worsen the border crisis and potentially help deliver a GOP victory in the midterms.

The president’s move came after more than a year of pressure from fellow Democrats amid frustration with the inability to end a policy they view as illegal and cruel to those fleeing persecution.

But the order from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to lift on May 23 what’s known as Title 42 could become another liability for the president and congressional Democrats who already face historical headwinds and an unfavorable political climate partially fueled by soaring inflation and skyrocketing gas prices. The Democrats are trying to maintain their razor-thin majorities in the House of Representatives and Senate in November’s midterm elections.

BIDEN ADMINISTRATION LIFTS TRUMP-ERA RESTRICTIONS AT U.S.-MEXICO BORDER

"Every Democrat will have to answer for the Biden administration’s decision to turn their border crisis into a border catastrophe," National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) spokeswoman Torunn Sinclair argued in a statement to Fox News minutes after the administration’s decision was reported.

Former President Trump's administration issued the order amid the coronavirus outbreak. It was used by both the Trump and Biden administrations to expel a majority of migrants at the border. While it is a public health order, not an immigration policy, it has become one of the central border policies in place as the U.S. faces a continuing crisis of numbers at the border. In February, approximately 55% of migrants were returned due to the order rather than being released into the U.S.

"Title 42 has been nothing short of disastrous for immigrant families seeking asylum from the horrors in their own countries," Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said last month. "It is unacceptable that this policy continues to be used indiscriminately to remove migrants with valid refugee claims from our Southern border."

DEM SENATORS SOUND ALARM OVER REPORTS BIDEN ADMINISTRATION WILL END TITLE 42 BORDER POLICY

But with border crossings over the past year at historical highs, the GOP sees Friday’s move by the Biden administration as fresh ammunition on the campaign trail.

The NRCC, the House GOP re-election arm, has long viewed border security as a winning issue not only in competitive House districts along the nation's southern border, but also across the country, not only with a GOP base that gets fired up over immigration and border security but among independent voters and even some Democrats.

"This is an American issue. I think it’s going to play everywhere," NRCC chair Rep. Tom Emmer of Minnesota emphasized in an interview with Fox News in February.

The GOP needs a net gain of just five seats in the 435-member chamber in November to regain the House majority it lost in the 2018 midterms. Among the many targeted districts they’re hoping to flip are a handful of blue seats along the nation’s southern border in Texas and Arizona.

REPUBLICANS SAY BORDER SECURITY ‘WILL PLAY EVERYWHERE IN MIDTERMS’

Senate Republicans need a net gain of just one seat in the 100-member chamber to win back the majority. And one of the Senate Democrats they view as vulnerable is freshman Mark Kelly of Arizona.

"Senate Democrats like Mark Kelly created this border crisis and have consistently voted against measures to secure the border," National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) spokeswoman Katharine Cooksey claimed in a statement to Fox News.

"Now they’re all powerless to stop Joe Biden from making the crisis even worse. American families are suffering because of Democrats’ reckless, open borders policies."

Republican Sen. Mitt Romney of Utah tweeted that Biden's move was the worst domestic news of the day and the best political news for the GOP, predicting that Democratic senators from border states Arizona and Nevada "will lose their elections."

The president’s approval rating is a key barometer for his party in a midterm election cycle, and Biden’s standing with Americans has been well underwater for months. But his approval ratings on his handling of border security and immigration are even worse.

The president’s approval on immigration has been at or below 40% for a year in Fox News' national polling. Biden stood at 37% approval and 58% disapproval on his handling of the issue in the most recent Fox News poll conducted March 18-21.

An average compiled by Real Clear Politics of all the most recent polls that asked about the president’s handling of border security and immigration put Biden’s approval at 34% and disapproval at 58%.
