An IRS whistleblower told Congress on Thursday that the tax agency recommended felony charges against Hunter Biden and that the federal prosecutor handling the probe of the first son was rebuffed from filing charges on multiple occasions, the chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee disclosed on Thursday.

Rep. Jason Smith (R., Mo.) said at a press conference that two IRS employees claimed the agency sought felony charges against the younger Biden for attempting to evade taxes and fraudulent or false statements, all felony charges. The whistleblowers, who worked on the Biden probe since its start in November 2018, further claimed that the investigation was marred by "recurring unjustified delays" and "unusual actions outside the normal course of any investigation," Smith said.

The bombshell disclosure comes days after federal prosecutors in Delaware struck a plea deal with Biden on two misdemeanor tax charges and a felony gun charge that will be dropped after he completes a diversionary program.

Smith asserted that Biden received "a slap on the wrist for charges that have put other Americans behind bars."

According to Smith, the whistleblowers testified that Hunter Biden failed to pay more than $2.2 million in taxes and received $8.3 million from foreign entities in Ukraine, China, and Romania. Biden received at least $6 million from CEFC China Energy, an energy conglomerate linked to Chinese military intelligence. A Romanian businessman investigated for bribery paid Biden another $1 million for help on his legal case. And Burisma Holdings, a Ukrainian natural gas company, paid Hunter Biden more than $80,000 a month to serve on its board of directors.

In one stunning revelation, Smith cited an encrypted text message in which Hunter Biden threatened a Chinese business partner for payment by invoking his father.

"I am sitting here with my father and would like to understand why the commitment made has not been fulfilled," Biden wrote in a July 30, 2017, message to Henry Zhao.

"I will make certain that between the man sitting next to me and every person he knows and my ability to hold a grudge that you will regret not following my direction. I am sitting here waiting for the call with my father."

The whistleblowers claimed that the Justice Department dragged its feet in authenticating the text message, according to Smith.

The Republican said the whistleblowers further testified that U.S. attorney David Weiss attempted to bring charges against Hunter Biden on at least two occasions but was blocked from doing so. Smith said Weiss sought to file charges in Washington, D.C., in March 2022 and in California in fall 2022. He also sought special counsel status in Spring 2022 but was also rejected.

The whistleblowers say the DOJ chose to let the statute of limitations expire on crimes committed in 2014 and 2015, when Biden failed to report approximately $400,000 in income from Busisma. His business partner Eric Schwerin, according to the testimony, asked him multiple times to amend his tax returns to include the money from Ukraine while his father was vice president, but Hunter Biden never did and now "there is no mechanism available to collect the tax owed by Hunter Biden for 2014 other than in a voluntary fashion."

"The purposeful exclusion of the 2014 and 2015 years sanitized the most substantive criminal conduct and concealed material facts," the whistleblower testified.

The U.S. attorney’s office in Delaware declined comment. A spokesman for the Justice Department did not address Smith's specific allegations but said that Weiss had "full authority over this matter, including responsibility for deciding where, when, and whether to file charges as he deems appropriate. He needs no further approval to do so."

This is a developing story. 


ABC, CBS Evening Programming Ignore Bombshell Whistleblower Claims of Hunter Biden’s ‘Preferential Treatment’ from DOJ

ABC’s “World News Tonight” and “CBS Evening News” on Thursday evening ignored the bombshell IRS whistleblower allegations that Hunter Biden received preferential treatment from the Justice Department (DOJ) regarding probes into tax violations.

On Thursday morning, House Republicans released transcripts of two IRS whistleblowers, one of whom provided evidence that Joe Biden was present when Hunter Biden pressured a Chinese business partner to send them millions of dollars, Breitbart News reported.

A second whistleblower also said the DOJ interfered in the effort to investigate Hunter Biden for tax crimes, although Joe Biden’s attorney general recently claimed otherwise.

But ABC and CBS evening news programming ignored the whistleblowers’ publicly available testimony provided by the House Ways and Means Committee.

Their decision to ignore the allegations follows a historical pattern of shielding their viewers from allegations of Biden family wrongdoing:

  • In October 2021, ABC, CBS, and NBC spent “0 seconds” reporting on Joe and Hunter Biden’s alleged shared bank account, the Republican National Committee’s research team found.
  • In June 2022, ABC News, NBC News, and CBS News aired only 298 seconds on Hunter Biden’s “Laptop from Hell” story since March 16, when the New York Times confirmed authentication of the laptop, according to Media Research Center.
  • In June, the network news channels ABC, CBS, and NBC spent zero time on the alleged Biden “bribery” scandal, compared to 291 minutes on the Trump indictment, according to a media watchdog report.
  • In addition, ABC News acknowledged in March the legacy outlet refused to review Hunter Biden’s abandoned “Laptop from Hell,” all while reporting on the infamous laptop story by printing scoops from Hunter’s legal team.

According to recent polling, 50 percent of Americans believe the national media intend to mislead, misinform, and persuade the public, as just 35 percent say most news organizations can be relied upon.

BARACK OBAMA, THE MAN WHO FOISTED JOE BIDEN ON AMERICA, MAY BE THE MOST DANGEROUS POLITICIAN IN AMERICAN HISTORY!

Meanwhile. the media essentially buried Obama's relationship with terrorist Bill Ayers, the radical Rev. Jeremiah Wright, and the convicted white-collar criminal Tony Rezko.

In other words, to exonerate Biden, Obama must also exonerate Trump from the disgraceful, deeply (criminally?) dishonest charge leveled against Trump. I get a real kick imagining Obama sitting in the lavishly decorated office of one of his three luxury homes, cursing to himself that you can always trust Joe Biden to “F” things up.

Now Obama wants even more power...

The media, government bureaucrats and other Democrats have spread a massive number of lies to the public for years through many election cycles.  All are meant to mislead the public and influence or interfere in elections, but now Obama wants more government control to determine what the truth is.  This, from a former president who has a long record of lying.

Obama suggests digital fingerprints to counter misinformation, so we know what is true or not true.

Former President Barack Obama suggested in a new interview the development of "digital fingerprints" to combat misinformation and distinguish between true and misleading news for consumers.

Who will be Obama's arbitrators? Will they be Rachel Maddow and MSNBC, Brian Stelter, WaPo, DHS, SPLC, the Justice Department? Obviously, Obama wants some kind of censorship power under the rubric of "stopping disinformation" because lying is so hard to conceal when the truth keeps getting out.

Here is a small sample of misinformation that has been spread by the leftist mainstream media, which I do not recall Obama ever complained about.

In 2008, after endorsing John McCain in the Republican primary, the New York Times ran a hit piece on him about a supposed affair with a lobbyist. 

After the election, when a lawsuit was launched, the Times said it didn't mean to imply a romantic relationship.

I don't believe these people.  They obviously meant for the public to believe there was an improper relationship because they were campaigning for Obama. 

The media also went into attack mode in 2008 to destroy Sarah Palin as soon as she was nominated for the GOP vice presidential ticket. 

Yet they didn't have any interest in letting the public know about Obama's history of political dirty tricks, such as he pulled during his first election, when he had sealed records unsealed and leaked in what writer Ann Coulter called his "signature move" and went on to pull similar moves on his 2012 GOP rival, Mitt Romney.

Meanwhile. the media essentially buried Obama's relationship with terrorist Bill Ayers, the radical Rev. Jeremiah Wright, and the convicted white-collar criminal Tony Rezko.

In that latter case, the Cook County Assessor's Office appears to have no record of any tax being paid on a property transfer between a future convicted felon and a future president, in possible violation of Illinois law.

In 2005, at a time when Rezko was under federal investigation for influence-peddling in former Illinois governor Blagojevich's administration, then-senator Obama and Rezko's wife Rita bought adjacent pieces of property from a Chicago doctor.  Rezko would later be convicted of 16 of 24 counts of influence-peddling.

The doctor sold one parcel to Obama for $1.65 million, $300,000 below the asking price, while Rezko's wife paid full price, $625.000, for the adjacent vacant lot.

Six months later, the Obamas paid Rezko's wife $104,500 for a ten-foot-wide strip of her land to create a bigger yard and ensure a greater measure of privacy.

While the media were destroying Palin, they had no interest in telling the public the truth about Biden, whom they had chased from the 1988 presidential race earlier.

In 2009, Obama and others intentionally lied to the public to get Obamacare passed.

Basically, they had to lie to mislead voters.

An Obamacare architect even described how the effort to sell health law was benefited by "stupid" voters.

Remember him?

The media malfeasance around the Obama administration went on and on.

Instead of lifting a finger to help Americans under attack in Libya, Obama and his then–secretary of state, Hillary Clinton, concocted a lie about a provocative video causing a spontaneous mob reaction and then the attack.  They even sent NSC official Susan Rice out to promote this lie because they were more concerned about Obama's re-election prospects and retaining power than the people who died.

Emails Show Susan Rice Prepped To Lie By White House

And they say Democrats are the party of empathy.

If you want to see what Democrats' philosophy about the truth and elections is, all you must see is what Harry Reid said about his lie that Romney didn't pay taxes for ten years: "Well, they can call it whatever they want.  Romney didn't win, did he?"

Obama didn't care when associates, such as Lois LernerEric HolderJames Clapper, and John Brennan lied to Congress and got off.  They were above the law.

Obama didn't care when his FBI director, James Comey, went out and listed all of Hillary Clinton's crimes regarding massive mishandling of classified information and then lied to the public that no prosecutor would take the case.  Obama knew that many people have been prosecuted for lesser crimes.

Then there was Obama's Russia-Russia-Russia scandal, which dogged President Trump through his presidency.

In 2016, Hillary and the DNC paid a foreign national over $10 million to create a fictional dossier to destroy Trump.  Then they committed fraud by lying to the FEC that the money was for legal fees. 

Corrupt and dishonest FBI bureaucrats, who wanted Hillary to win, continually lied to the FISA court so they could illegally spy on people surrounding Trump. 

The corruption, and interference in the 2016 election by people throughout the Obama administration, with his knowledge, dwarfed Watergate.  Most of the media not only didn't care, but participated. 

For years, the biased media, along with corrupt Justice Department officials and other Democrats, colluded to continually bombard the public with endless lies and investigations based on the fictional Russian collusion.  The purpose was never to inform the public with the truth.  It was solely to destroy Trump and his administration.  They could not afford an outsider draining the corrupt swamp. 

In 2020, the public was fed with misinformation about COVID masks, social distancing, shutdowns, lockdowns, and other government edicts that Dr. Anthony Fauci and others falsely claimed were based on science.  The purpose was to get the public to capitulate to government control.  The damage was massive to children and others.  Obama still hasn't said a word denouncing the misinformation. 

Nor did he say anything when the media, Fauci, and others colluded to stop an investigation into the Wuhan lab as the source of COVID by falsely calling it a disproven conspiracy.  The purpose of stopping an investigation was to protect Fauci and others, who had funded the dangerous research at the lab. 

Obama, along with the media, has known about the Bidens, along with the Clintons, and their corrupt history of lining their pockets with kickbacks, yet all of them said nothing when the media, the Justice Department, 51 former intelligence officials, and others colluded to hide the truthful story about the Hunter Biden laptop from the public before the 2020 election.

They went to an old playbook by falsely blaming the Russians to bury the truth. 

Almost three years later, the media and other Democrats are still burying the story of massive Biden family corruption, no matter how much proof they are shown. 

And they never ceased promoting the biggest lie of all, which is that the Obama administration was scandal-free because no one went to jail.  That's called skating in the real world.

That tells how corrupt the justice system is.  The reason the criminal activity of so many within the Obama administration didn't get punished is because he had wingmen blocking any accountability. 

The Obama-Biden administration is the most corrupt administration I have seen in my seventy years, but the Biden-Harris administration is closing in. 

So why do the media continually have liars like Obama, Hillary, Comey, Schiff, Holder, Rice, Clapper, and Brennan on and pretend they are reliable sources as they trash Republicans and support Biden? 

The answer can be found in Harry Reid's words.  To paraphrase, it doesn't matter how much we lie, or whom we destroy, as long as we win. 

Yesterday, the Democrats set out to destroy Special Counsel John Durham for daring to tell the truth about how corrupt Justice officials were and how the Russian collusion story was always based on nothing. 

It never ends.  No one should believe Obama when he says we need more government power to make sure the public see the truth before they vote.  The truth has always been irrelevant to Obama, as well as government officials, and most journalists, especially people who pretend to be fact-checkers.

Obviously Obama must have been successful since the Biden Crime Family’s activities went unreported on by most of the news media prior to the 2020 presidential election. Even now there’s been a reluctance to report on anything associated with the claims of illegal – indeed impeachable offenses by Joe Biden.

Biden positions, after doing nothing, save for the end, at best, to help Biden's presidential campaign, suggesting that the hollow-victory Biden administration is just a placeholder for the return of an Obama third term.  It's a sign that Obama ĂŠminence grise is more than a little active, behind the scenes as she always is.

PROFILE OF A SOCIOPATH GAMER LAWYER:

JOE BIDEN is known as a serial liar, a "public servant" who has somehow managed to accrue tremendous wealth, a race-baiting opportunist, Catholic-in-name-only, and a bought-and-paid-for politician in bed with criminal cartels and foreign foes.  In another era, Joe Biden would have been run out of his country much the same way Benedict Arnold was two and a half centuries ago; in an era when integrity, honor, fortitude, fidelity, and grit have been jettisoned for immorality, unscrupulousness, weakness, betrayal, and craven pliability, however, he is elevated to king sleazeball in a city drowning in sleaze. JB SHURK


During Obama’s presidency, everyone joked that he selected Biden for VP because Biden’s incompetency insured that Obama would never be impeached. Yes, Obama was bad, but Biden would be worse. Now that Biden’s the president, that joke was 100% correct. Sadly, he’s multiple times worse than anyone imagined. Biden has more failures in one year than most presidents have in a lifetime – the Afghanistan debacle and surrender, huge crime spikes due to Democrat “defund the police” insanity, actively working to destroy the petroleum industry while supporting Russia’s, soaring inflation, open support and deference to China, and his weakness being directly responsible for Putin’s invasion of Ukraine -- to name just a few epic failures. As bad as Biden is as president, it’s obvious he selected Harris for the same reason that Obama selected him -- to insure he’s never removed from office. If you think things can’t possibly get worse, just look at Harris and you instantly realize – yes, they can. She would be multiple times worse than Joe.

Whistleblower: Hunter Biden Deducted Payments to Sex Club, Hookers on His Taxes

Hunter Biden
Breitbart News

President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, allegedly deducted tens of thousands of dollars in payments made to a prostitute and a sex club from his taxes, according to an IRS whistleblower.

An anonymous IRS criminal investigator to the House Ways and Means Committee during a June 1 interview that Biden improperly deducted these expenses on his 2018 tax forms. The whistleblower claimed Biden underreported his total income by unto $500,000, or $267,000 using “the most conservative approach.”

“So he underreported his total income by $267,000, if you are using the most conservative approach, and that is a tax loss of $106,000,” the whistleblower told congress. “So that includes deductions for personal wages and salaries paid, personal travel expenses paid, personal children expenses that he paid, and personal other expenses that he paid.”

The whistleblower told Congress that Biden’s “statements in his book completely contradicted what was being deducted on his tax return.”

Biden’s 2018 tax returns are one of the years covered under recent Biden’s plea deal with federal prosecutors, who charged him with a felony gun crime and misdemeanor tax crimes.

Hunter reportedly deducted payments to one of his “personal no-show employees,” but as the whistleblower noted, “she was essentially a prostitute.” Biden called the prostitute his “West Coast assistant.”

The whistleblower explained that Biden also deducted a $10,000 payment that went to a “sex club,” under the guise of it being a “golf club member deposit.”

“He made payments — there’s an $18,000 wire that is made to one of these individuals, and on the wires they say $8,000 in wage and $10,000 in golf — $10k golf club member deposit,” the whistleblower said, according to transcripts of his testimony.

One of the owners of the exclusive members-only sex club confirmed Biden was a client.

‘And we know that that $10,000 went to pay for a sex club. He went to a sex club, and we’ve talked to the person that owned that sex club, and they confirmed that he was there,” the whistleblower added.

“And the guy has to pay $10,000, and the girl — whoever is referring him there doesn’t have to pay anything. So that was deducted on the tax return.”

In 2018 and 2020, Schweizer published Secret Empires and Profiles in Corruption. Each book hit #1 on the New York Times bestseller list and exposed how Hunter and his father flew to China aboard Air Force Two in 2013 before Hunter’s firm inked a $1.5 billion deal with a subsidiary of the Chinese government’s Bank of China, which transpired less than two weeks after the trip. Schweizer’s work also uncovered the Biden family’s other vast and lucrative foreign deals and cronyism.

Corruption is nothing new in D.C., but what the laptop reveals about Hunter Biden and his father is that, like the Clintons, they have no self-control. And the only thing more dangerous than cunning crooks at the head of a nation are inept kleptocrats who would leave evidence of their financial and sexual corruption on a laptop abandoned in a Delaware repair shop. DANIEL GREENFIELD

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


The book is a devastating chronicle of political corruption. From Ukraine to Mexico to China, Hunter Biden's private correspondence shows how he and his family leveraged his father's position to win high-paying, low-work gigs with shady foreign actors—and how Joe's official actions at times directly benefited his family's financial backers. ALANA GOODMAN

Hunter’s Sweet Plea Deal

Welcome to the Left's surreal and twisted world of equal justice.

[Editor’s note: Make sure to read Robert Spencer’s masterpiece contributions in Jamie Glazov’s new book: Barack Obama’s True Legacy: How He Transformed America.]

The defenders of justice in America have finally gotten around to dealing with America’s first son, Hunter Biden, the crack-addled patron of hookers who became a highly-paid natural gas company executive and then an artist whose paintings sell for more money than Pablo Picasso’s, all because his last name is Biden and he can provide, for the right price, access to his foggy old man, who happens to bear the title of president of the United States.

Hunter is not, however, facing the music for his blatant influence-peddling, or for any of the other crimes that his notorious laptop reveals. Instead, he is getting a slap on the wrist for a few token infractions, so that Gestapo chief Merrick Garland and his henchmen can brush aside charges of a two-tier justice system: “Whaddeya mean, we go after patriots but not Leftists? Look: we prosecuted Hunter Biden!” Sure you did, Merrick. Maybe some rubes will fall for this.

The Washington Post reported Tuesday that “President Biden’s son Hunter has reached a tentative agreement with federal prosecutors to plead guilty to two minor tax crimes and admit to the facts of a gun charge under terms that would likely keep him out of jail.” This is not exactly akin to getting Al Capone on tax evasion. This is simply a charade, an empty exercise in charging Hunter with something, anything, in order to take the wind out of the sails of those who claim that the Biden regime is relentlessly persecuting its principal opponent, Donald Trump, while turning a blind eye to actual crimes committed by Leftists such as Hillary Clinton, as well as Old Joe and Hunter himself.

Hunter Biden is looking at “about two years probation” and will be required to “enter a diversion program,” if anyone is actually going to be paying attention to whether or not he does so, but he could have been and should have been facing much worse. Back in Sept. 2020, the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs and Senate Committee on Finance issued a report noting that while his father was vice president, Hunter Biden was “paid millions of dollars from a corrupt Ukrainian oligarch” for his presence on the board of Burisma Holdings, a Ukrainian natural gas company.

Hunter’s presence on this board caused a great many problems. The report notes that “the Obama administration knew that Hunter Biden’s position on Burisma’s board was problematic and did interfere in the efficient execution of policy with respect to Ukraine.” What’s more, “in early 2015 the former Acting Deputy Chief of Mission at the U.S. Embassy in Kyiv, Ukraine, George Kent, raised concerns to officials in Vice President Joe Biden’s office about the perception of a conflict of interest with respect to Hunter Biden’s role on Burisma’s board. Kent’s concerns went unaddressed, and in September 2016, he emphasized in an email to his colleagues, ‘Furthermore, the presence of Hunter Biden on the Burisma board was very awkward for all U.S. officials pushing an anticorruption agenda in Ukraine.’” It was more than just awkward. It was inexcusable, and it was clear evidence of corruption.

No one seems particularly concerned about Hunter’s presence on Burisma’s board now, yet it is a clear red flag. Hunter Biden had no educational background or experience in the natural gas industry. What’s more, he was a dissolute crack addict who consorted with prostitutes. If he had not been the son of the vice president of the United States, does anyone really believe that Burisma would have offered him this lucrative job? Hunter’s very presence on Burisma’s board was prima facie evidence of influence-peddling, as is his new career as an artist.

To be a struggling artist is a cultural clichĂŠ going back to Vincent Van Gogh shivering in a garret while producing world-historical masterpieces that the public wouldn’t come to appreciate until after his tragic death. Artist Hunter, however, has paid no such dues. Even though he took up painting late in life and you can find more compelling artworks on sale for a hundred bucks at the local frame store, Hunter’s paintings have commanded eye-watering prices up to $500,000, although the latest batch was positively bargain-basement stuff, going for only $85,000. Could it be that people are snatching up Hunter’s daubings in order to get a few minutes of face time with the alleged president? You bet your life. But no one cares, least of all Merrick Garland.

Donald Trump is looking at hundreds of years in prison, essentially for the crime of bucking the Leftist establishment. Hunter Biden, on the other hand, is a protected member of that establishment. And so there is one system of justice for Trump and quite another for Hunter. Blind justice? Not in America. Not anymore.

Hunter Biden Ghosted Baby Mama During Pregnancy, Texts Show

President’s crackhead son yanked health insurance from mistress shortly after birth of daughter

Hunter Biden
June 14, 2023

For months in 2018, a very pregnant Lunden Alexis Roberts was unable to reach Hunter Biden, the father of her soon-to-be-born daughter. He screened her calls. He ignored her messages. Six weeks after their daughter’s birth, she tried one more time.

"In hopes that you even read this- Baby was born Aug 28. Beautiful & Healthy," she wrote in a text on Oct. 16, 2018. "If you ever become curious and want to know more I can send pictures, details, or whatever you may request."

"I know that’s a long shot and you’d much rather avoid the whole situation," she added, "but just wanted you to know the door is always open for you in the baby’s life."

Biden never responded. But years later, Roberts and their four-year-old daughter—whom President Joe Biden has refused to publicly acknowledge as his grandchild—have become an issue the Biden family can no longer ignore.

The ongoing child support case in Arkansas, which has drawn Hunter Biden into the courtroom and made national headlines, could force the younger Biden to release sensitive financial information. At the same time, several federal investigations, including a congressional probe into the Biden family’s foreign business dealings, are likely to keep eyes peeled on financial disclosures that come out of the Arkansas trial.

While Roberts has declined public interviews, court filings and text messages shed light on her battle to extract child support from a member of one of the world’s most powerful families, as well as her unsuccessful efforts to make Hunter Biden a part of their daughter’s life.

The text messages show Hunter Biden dropped out of contact a few months into her pregnancy, cut off her salary and health insurance shortly after she gave birth, and declined to even see a photograph of his newborn daughter. He had initially put her on his company’s payroll, likely to provide her with health care during the pregnancy. The messages show she did not go to court to seek child support until several months after Biden cut her off from his company's health insurance.

Hunter Biden reopened the paternity case last September, saying he could no longer afford to pay Roberts the $20,000-per-month in child support he had agreed to during his father’s presidential campaign in 2020. He is also asking the court to block the child from taking the "Biden" last name.

Hunter Biden, who initially denied he was the girl’s father until a court-ordered DNA test proved him wrong, said he has "no recollection" of sleeping with Roberts after they met in 2017, noting that he was a drug addict and had many casual sex partners at the time.

But according to text messages, Roberts and Hunter Biden were in frequent contact and discussed her pregnancy for the first few months. He added her to the payroll at his company, Owasco P.C., a perk that came with health insurance. But the text messages indicate that Biden was unhappy about Roberts’s pregnancy, and he dropped out of contact when she was about three months along.

"Last we spoke you were upset because I hadn’t kept you ‘updated.’ That was in February," Roberts wrote to Biden in October 2018, shortly after their daughter’s birth. "I’ve called numerous times and sent a few messages as well."

"I understand you despise me and want nothing to do with the decision I’ve made," she added. "However, I still felt you deserved to hear about it from me … Baby was born Aug 28."

Biden had also ignored Roberts’s attempts to reach him in the summer of 2018, as her September due date approached. "Just called to check in on you.." she wrote the evening before Independence Day. Later that month, she sent him an update from the doctor.

On Aug. 8, she wrote: "Reached out a few times, it’s clear you don’t want to be reached. Need to talk to you. If you feel the need to reach out, my line is always open. Hope you are well."

Roberts gave birth to their daughter on Aug. 28, 2018. A month and a half later, she wrote Biden to tell him that he was welcome to be a part of their child’s life. "I have left my ‘DC lifestyle’ in the past as I decided to come home [to Arkansas] and jump back into who I was before DC, bettering myself for a child," she told him.

Hunter Biden didn’t respond. But a few weeks later—after depleting his company’s bank accounts and facing financial difficulties—he told his personal assistant to remove Roberts from the Owasco P.C.’s payroll to cover his other expenses. "Take Lunden off payroll," he wrote, referring, at one point, to Roberts as "what’s her name."

Hunter Biden’s personal assistant, Katie Dodge, noted that this would also cut Roberts off from the company’s health insurance. Biden told her to go ahead. "I thought you said [Roberts] decidedly dint [sic] want to work and didn’t need health insurance anyway. Remember that conversation?" wrote Biden.

"No. I do not remember that conversation," responded Dodge. "Maybe she told you that but I wasn’t involved."

Biden shot back that he hadn’t "talked to Lunden in 7 months" and told Dodge to "take whatever I pay Lunden and get my shit straightened out." In a follow-up in December, Biden asked Dodge to confirm she "took what’s her name off" of the company payroll. Dodge confirmed that Roberts had been removed.

Five months later, Roberts filed a petition for child support against Biden in Arkansas. She was living back in her hometown of Batesville and working at her family’s local business, earning what the court judge estimated was "less than minimum wage." She said her parents helped her out with "petty cash," but Biden had "provided no support for this child" since the baby was born.

Hunter Biden "has had no involvement in the child’s life since the child’s birth" and "could not identify the child out of a photo lineup," Roberts’s attorneys said in a filing.

Hunter Biden, who told the court he was unemployed, eventually agreed in March of 2020—a few weeks before his father Joe Biden became the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee—to pay Roberts $20,000-per-month in child support.

Now Hunter Biden is taking a more aggressive approach. In September, he asked the court to reduce his monthly payments, saying there had been "a substantial material change in [his] financial circumstances, including but not limited to his income." He also ramped up his legal team, hiring D.C. power-lawyer Abbe Lowell, who attended the most recent hearing in Arkansas last month.

But he is also facing orders from the court to turn over financial records—including information on his businesses, investments, and financial gifts that could be relevant to an ongoing Department of Justice investigation into his taxes and a congressional probe into potential influence-peddling by the Biden family.

Hunter Biden’s move to reopen the case has surprised some legal experts.

"I'm really astonished that Hunter Biden, given that he has a pending criminal investigation, and given that there are pending congressional investigations, would go back into this court and try to reopen this Pandora's Box," former federal prosecutor Elie Honig told CNN in March.

That risk seemed to grow this week, after Arkansas Circuit Court judge Holly Meyer ordered Biden to appear on July 10 to defend himself against potential contempt charges. Roberts’s lawyers have asked the court to hold Biden in contempt for allegedly failing to turn over complete financial records.

Judge Meyer said Biden’s "ability to pay" child support "is or may become a critical issue in the contempt proceeding," opening him up to questions about his financial condition in court.

Hunter Biden "will have an opportunity at the hearing to respond to statements and questions about his financial status" and "is subject to an express finding by the court that he has the ability to pay," the judge said.

   

'Let’s Clear That Issue Up Right Now': Arkansas Judge Orders Hunter Biden to Court To Answer Laptop Questions

Judge demands Hunter Biden make public appearance in custody hearing

An Arkansas judge ordered Hunter Biden on Monday to personally show up in court in May to address questions about his laptop, including whether financial records on it belong to him.

Circuit Court judge Holly Meyer gave the order as part of Hunter Biden’s drawn-out custody battle with Lunden Alexis Roberts over their four-year-old daughter. It would be his first public appearance in the case—the Bidens have steadfastly refused to acknowledge the child’s existence, and Hunter denied that he was the father until a court-ordered DNA test proved otherwise.

"I want both of your clients at every hearing that I conduct," Meyer told the attorneys for Biden and Roberts during a virtual hearing on Monday. "I will no longer allow us to dismiss clients from these hearings, because it is interfering with the progress of this litigation which is taking way too long to get over simple points."

Meyer issued the order after Biden's attorney was unable to answer whether Biden owned the abandoned laptop that became a subject of controversy during the 2020 election. Financial records discovered on the laptop have become an issue in the custody dispute.

Hunter Biden's presence at the Arkansas court could create a political headache for the White House and the Biden family. He has reportedly gone to great lengths to avoid getting served with legal papers from Roberts.

Hunter Biden’s lawyer, Brent Langdon, asked the judge on Monday to block an expert witness from discussing the financial records on the laptop, saying "there has never been an acknowledgment" from Biden that the laptop belongs to him.

"Well let’s clear that issue up right now," said Meyer. "Is it your client’s laptop or not?"

Langdon said it was "not my client’s laptop as far as I know. He’s never accepted that that’s his laptop."

The judge responded that Biden and Roberts needed to show up to all future court dates so questions like this could be addressed. The next hearing will take place on May 1.

At the May hearing, the judge is expected to rule on outstanding motions, including a name change request from Roberts asking to change their daughter’s last name to "Biden." Biden has demanded that the court block the name change, claiming the move would be damaging to the child due to the "scorn in the community for the Biden name."

Family law attorney Peter M. Walzer told the Washington Free Beacon that Biden’s objection to the name change was "very uncommon" and unlikely to succeed in court.

"I’ve never seen a litigation where a father didn’t want the [child] to take his name," said Walzer. "This is pretty unique."

Walzer said Biden’s motion sounded like it was motivated by personal interest rather than concern for the child’s well-being.

"He doesn’t want the child to have his name because it’s embarrassing to him, [but he] couches his legal briefing in terms of the child’s interest," said Walzer. "From his paper’s it’s ‘all about me.’"

"From his papers, it’s ‘all about me.’"

Marshall H. Moore, an Arkansas-based custody attorney with Moore, Giles and Matteson, agreed.

"Normally it is just the opposite situation where the father is asking that the child be given the father’s last name," he told the Free Beacon. "Off the top of my head, I can’t remember ever filing such a motion in 40+ years of practice."

Child Support Case Judge Threatens Hunter Biden With 1 Year in Jail and $20K Fine

An Arkansas judge on Monday issued an order threatening Hunter Biden with up to a year of prison time and a $20,000 fine if he fails to provide financial information and appear in court next month to answer questions from the counsel of his child’s mother.

Last year, Hunter Biden opened up his paternity agreement with Lunden Roberts, the mother of his child, citing “a substantial material change” in his “financial circumstances, including but not limited to his income.” Hunter Biden’s payments are $20,000 per month, a calculation based on income.

Hunter Biden’s financials could reveal information about his family’s business deals and his anonymous art sales.

For example, they could reveal how much Hunter Biden earned from his interest in BHR Partners, a Chinese state-backed investment fund founded just days after Hunter and President Joe Biden visited China in 2013. Hunter Biden held a ten percent stake in BHR Partners through an entity called Skaneateles LLC. Documents obtained by Breitbart News revealed Skaneateles LLC is controlled by Kevin Morris, Hunter’s top attorney, who also paid Hunter’s IRS debts.

If Hunter Biden does not provide financial information and show up for the court appearance, the judge said he will face “six months in jail for criminal contempt, six months in jail for civil contempt, and a $20,000 fine payable to Ms. Roberts,” the Sun reported.

In early May, Hunter Biden appeared before the Independence County circuit judge, who ordered him to answer questions about his financials and sit for an interview under oath in a child support case against his daughter’s mother. The judge also scheduled a hearing for July to determine the child support dispute.

“Mr. Biden does not want to disclose his income and assets, says that he is somewhat financially destitute, while he lives on a mountain overlooking the Pacific Ocean in Malibu, has Secret Service protection, and enjoys his time abroad,” Roberts’s legal team wrote.

Hunter Biden’s court case in Arkansas is just one of his legal challenges. He faces a Justice Department investigation into potential tax and gun violations and is the center of the House Oversight Committee’s probe into the Biden family for nine potential violations.

Arkansas Judge Orders Hunter Biden Back to Court, Says Burden Is on Him to Avoid Jail Time

June 7, 2023

Hunter Biden has been ordered to appear in an Arkansas court next month to face questions about his financial status and defend himself against contempt allegations that could carry a penalty of up to six months in jail.

The Monday order from Arkansas Circuit Court Judge Holly Meyer came weeks after Lunden Alexis Roberts, the mother of Biden’s four-year-old daughter, asked the court to hold Biden in both civil and criminal contempt for failing to turn over requested financial information. Biden has been fighting to reduce his $20,000-per-month child support payments, which he says he can no longer afford.

The July 10 hearing could further complicate Biden’s legal issues, which include a federal tax probe and a House Oversight Committee investigation into potential influence-peddling by the Biden family.

Judge Meyer said Biden must appear in July to "show cause, if any exists, why he should not be held in contempt" and to "determine if a finding of contempt and sanctions are appropriate." The judge said she will consider a range of penalties, including fines and "incarceration for criminal contempt for a period of up to six months."

She added that Biden’s "ability to pay" child support "is or may become a critical issue in the contempt proceeding," opening him up to questions about his financial condition in court.

Biden "will have an opportunity at the hearing to respond to statements and questions about his financial status" and "is subject to an express finding by the court that he has the ability to pay," said Judge Meyer.

If Biden is held in contempt, the court could toss out his motion to reduce his child support payments, and another motion he filed to block his four-year-old daughter from using the "Biden" last name.

Roberts’s lawyer, Clint Lancaster, said in a contempt motion in May that Biden was "playing hide the ball" and has not turned over complete information about his income, assets, and investments. Lancaster said the court should hold Biden in contempt to make him a "believer in the rule of law."

Biden’s legal team countered that he has complied with discovery to the best of his ability, but he "does not have access to some of the information requested for various reasons."

The July 10 hearing would be Biden’s second public appearance in the case since it was filed four years ago. His first was last month.

Judge Meyer previously rejected requests by Roberts’s legal team to hold Biden in contempt, most recently in early May. She said at the time that the motion had "not been properly pled."

However, she also warned Biden at a May 1 hearing that there would be consequences for continuing to withhold financial records, and wrote in a recent order that the court "will not accept cryptic or vague answers to discovery and may treat such answers as a failure to answer."

The feds already have all the evidence they need to charge Biden with bribery to change our policy in Ukraine

The DOJ has long held the evidence needed to charge Joe Biden with bribery to change our policy in Ukraine. (And also all the evidence needed to charge Hunter with several crimes, including violations of the tax code, of the laws governing the purchase of firearms, and laws prohibiting money laundering. ) Here is an overview of the evidence needed to charge with bribery to change our policy in Ukraine

Our policy was to have Ukraine force Burisma and its owner Zlochevsky to return the oil and gas properties Zlochevsky stole when he was the Minister of Ecology and Natural Resources.  And Zlochevsky wanted that policy reversed.

The documents show that Zlochevsky was paying Hunter Biden approximately $83,000 a month.  Zlochevsky claimed he was paying for corporate governance advice. However privately owned companies do not need corporate governance advice, and if they did, they wouldn’t hire Hunter Biden to provide it. And they wouldn’t pay anyone $83,000 a month for such advice.

Documents show that Ukraine’s prosecutor general, Victor Shokun, issued an arrest warrant on Zlochevsky in the event, he returned to Ukraine from foreign exile and placed seizures on his and Burisma’s property.  Shortly after that, Victoria Nuland publicly claimed for the first time that Shokin was corrupt and had to go. Joe Biden has publicly bragged that he then went to Ukraine and forced the government to fire Shokin by threatening to withhold foreign aid.

The same political establishment that claimed Hunter Biden’s laptop was Russian disinformation has also promoted the idea that it was NATO policy to have Shokin fired for corruption. I’ve never seen anything to support that other NATO members said anything of the sort but, the fact is, the US acted for NATO in Ukraine pretty much unilaterally.

And consider that during the time the Bidens were involved in Ukraine, there were two other prosecutors general, both of whom were corrupt and assisted Zlochevsky escaping justice, and neither Nuland nor  Biden  called them corrupt or demanded their ouster. Nor did any other NATO member. 

Caricature by Donkey Hotey CC BY 2.0 license

And consider that we provide foreign aid to many corrupt countries where political corruption is not prosecuted and no one I know has any memory of our demanding that the prosecutors in those countries be fired.

It strikes me that the payments to Hunter Biden are enough. You can bribe a public official by paying his family. Plus, Hunter’s emails show he paid up to half of his compensation to his father.


Trump should have stored his documents in a garage

The Babylon Bee ran a story about the documents and President Trump.  The headline reads, "Trump Indicted for Keeping Classified Documents at Mar-A-Lago Instead of Somewhere Secure like the Trunk of a Corvette."  Yes, he should have bought a Corvette and a big house with a garage.  Or he could have used a private server to run his presidency?  He'd be okay either way.

The indictment raises serious questions.  The decision to indict raises more questions because the DOJ has now gone "banana republic" on us.  The Wall Street Journal raises some important questions:

In the court of public opinion, the first question will be about two standards of justice. Mr. Biden had old classified files stored in his Delaware garage next to his sports car. When that news came out, he didn't sound too apologetic. "My Corvette's in a locked garage, OK? So it's not like they're sitting out on the street," Mr. Biden said. AG Garland appointed another special counsel, Robert Hur, to investigate, but Justice isn't going to indict Mr. Biden.

As for willful, how about the basement email server that Hillary Clinton used as Secretary of State? FBI director James Comey said in 2016 that she and her colleagues "were extremely careless in their handling of very sensitive, highly classified information." According to him, 113 emails included information that was classified when it was sent or received. Eight were Top Secret. About 2,000 others were later "upclassified" to Confidential. This was the statement Mr. Comey ended by declaring Mrs. Clinton free and clear, since "no reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case."

This is the inescapable political context of this week's indictment. The special counsel could have finished his investigation with a report detailing the extent of Mr. Trump's recklessness and explained what secrets it could have exposed. Instead the Justice Department has taken a perilous path.

A serious path indeed, because this is how a banana republic does it.  Yes, banana republics indict the guy from the other party leading the incumbent in the polls.  They find a man and then look for the crime.  In the meantime, they are left with bananas and not a republic.

Emails Show Burisma Executive Opened Maltese Bank Account for Hunter Biden

Burisma Holdings executive Vadym Pozharskyi informed Hunter Biden in 2016 that he was opening a Maltese bank account for him, emails from Hunter Biden’s laptop show.

Pozharskyi was an associate of Mykola Zlochevsky, who allegedly paid Hunter and Joe Biden each $5 million in a pay-for-play scheme. According to Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA), an FBI informant document indicates Mykola Zlochevsky allegedly kept 17 audio recordings of his conversations with them as an “insurance policy.”

Emails uncovered by the nonprofit Marco Polo suggest Burisma tried to move money to the Bidens through a Maltese bank account set up by Pozharskyi for Hunter Biden.

In May 2016, Pozharskyi requested the documentation required for the account opening, including a copy of Hunter’s passport, a bank reference letter, and a utility bill:

Hunter responded to Pozharskyi, “We are working on this – I was traveling with my dad and had my passport abroad last week”:

In the following weeks, Hunter Biden’s assistant, Joan Mayer, provided copies of Hunter’s documentation at the request of Pozharskyi. Mayer also suggested providing a letter from Hunter’s law firm to confirm his annual salary:

Hi Vadym,

We are slowly getting there.  Not sure this is helpful but attached is the color passport, utility bill and bank reference letter. They still need to be apostiled though- which we will do when we get these other requested documents.

I just wanted to confirm what is required for “a certified declaration of source wealth including profile”? We can provide a letter from Hunter’s corporation, Owasco, confirming his annual salary. Is that what the bank is looking for?

Source: Marco Polo

On May 13, 2016, just a week after Mayer followed up with Pozharskyi about the additional documents, a Burisma attorney emailed Hunter Biden sharing the address and swift code of the Maltese bank, Satabank:

Source: Marco Polo

A few days later, Mayer sent “Hunter’s tax ID number and signature” to Pozharskyi, who responded with a confirmation: “All received!”

Source: Marco Polo

Source: Marco Polo

According to Times of Malta, in 2018, Satabank closed upon money laundering violations:

The transaction involved Ukranian energy giant Burisma Group, which had US-President-elect Joe Biden’s son, Hunter, on its board of directors until April 2019.

It passed due diligence tests including one by Malta-based Satabank, which processed the transaction and has since lost its licence to operate.

The court heard how the police investigation began over the involvement of Burisma’s founder, Mykola Zlochevsky, a Ukrainian oil and natural gas businessman, politician and oligarch.

A year later, the bank’s accounts froze, and investigations started for suspicious transactions tied to illegal activities, Malta reported in 2019. In 2021, Malta reported that “[n]early €11 billion in transactions that flowed through the Malta-based Satabank were flagged as suspicious in 2020, auditors EY have said.”

In 2020, the New York Post reported that Ukrainian officials seized a $6 million cash bribe linked to Mykola Zlochevsky. “Ukrainian officials seized a $6 million cash bribe — the largest in the nation’s history — in a case linked to the founder of Burisma Holdings, the gas company that gave Hunter Biden a seat on its board of trustees,” the report read.

Hunter and Joe Biden appeared to have personally met with Pozharskyi in 2015. Pozharskyi emailed Hunter Biden and his business partner Devon Archer to thank Hunter Biden for organizing a private dinner with then-Vice President Joe Biden at Cafe Milano in D.C.

“Dear Hunter, thank you for inviting me to DC and giving an opportunity to meet your father and spent [sic] some time together. It’s realty [sic] an honor and pleasure,” the email reads.

In a previous email, Pozharskyi asked Hunter Biden for advice to benefit Burisma:

Source: Marco Polo

We urgently need your advice on how you could use your influence to convey a message / signal, etc .to stop what we consider to be politically motivated actions bearing in mind the following:

Burisma holdings is a leader among private gas producers;

Our primary client is Accelor Mital- Ukraine’s biggest metal steel plant. We cover more thet 60% of its gas needs.

Our clients and their production are largely dependant on our work and our ability to perfom our contractual obligations;

We employ hundreds of employees etc. and etc.;

Negative influence on our companies may result in multy-level negative social, econimical and political consequnces.

Please advice, looking forward for your reply,

Vadym Pozharskyi

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), a member of the House Oversight Committee, told Breitbart News last week that the FBI’s informant document depicts Zlochevsky telling the informant that the alleged payments of the bribes would take ten years to unravel.

She also said the document indicated Hunter Biden’s position on Burisma’s board, where he received about $80,000 per month. These were monthly installments of a $5 million total cut owed to Hunter Biden in the deal with his father.

Despite the allegations, House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-KY) believes the FBI has taken little to no action on the FBI’s informant’s information. The stonewalling triggered Comer to issue two more bank subpoenas last week, along with a demand for Devon Archer to testify. Archer is a Biden family business associate and Hunter Biden’s “best friend in business.”

Archer served in 2014 with Hunter Biden on the board of Burisma, a Ukraine-based energy company. Archer was also photographed playing golf with then-Vice President Joe Biden in Southhampton, New York, in 2014. In 2016, Archer resigned from Burisma’s board after his arrest.

Biden's Right: His Word Means Nothing

By J.B. Shurk

Installed (p)Resident Joe Biden loves to make promises secured by the supposed worth of his family name.  "I give you my word as a Biden," he said back in March of 2020, "When I'm president, I will lead with science, listen to the experts and heed their advice, and always tell you the truth."  Again giving his solemn word before the 2020 mail-in ballot presidential selection, he promised both "to turn division into unity and bring us together," as well as to "be an ally of the light, not the darkness."  Just over a week ago, he declared, "My word as a Biden: I've never been more optimistic about America's future than I am today."  My goodness, if only Biden's family name possessed more value than that of Benedict Arnold's, we would be blessed with a man in the White House committed to truth, unity, spiritual guidance, and American success.  Yet Biden's name is synonymous with none of those things, is it?

Instead, the Biden family name has really stood for only two things: buffoonery and corruption.  For fifty years, Joe Biden has managed to hold onto some slice of power in D.C. as a senator, vice president, and Oval Office stooge not because he is renowned for his erudition or virtue but rather because his doltish behavior and venal character make him ideal for others to control.  Perhaps no other Washington relic has accomplished so little for the American people over such a prolonged government career or managed to harness those defects for lucrative advancement more successfully than China Joe

He is known as a serial liar, a "public servant" who has somehow managed to accrue tremendous wealth, a race-baiting opportunist, a Catholic-in-name-only, and a bought-and-paid-for politician in bed with criminal cartels and foreign foes.  In another era, Joe Biden would have been run out of his country much the same way Benedict Arnold was two and a half centuries ago; in an era when integrity, honor, fortitude, fidelity, and grit have been jettisoned for immorality, unscrupulousness, weakness, betrayal, and craven pliability, however, he is elevated to king sleazeball in a city drowning in sleaze.

Perhaps when America's Scumbucket-in-Chief gives his "word as a Biden," he is depending upon the solid reputations of notable relatives.  Alas, no.  His brother James has been repeatedly implicated in allegations of fraud and quid-pro-quo financial schemes leveraging Joe's political office as a means to advance the Biden family's interests and wealth.  His daughter Ashley struggles with sex and drug addictions, problems she has attributed in part to her memories of taking showers with her dad at a young age (no wonder Creepy Joe excuses pedophilia and transgender madness so effortlessly).  And then there is the "smartest guy" Joe claims to know — his son Hunter — whose illegal drug usesexual debauchery with prostitutesemployees, and relatives alike; gun crimes; occupation as an undeclared foreign agent; and serially-excused role as the family's point man for turning the powers of Joe's political office into seedy profit are all well known to the American people (even if habitually ignored by the corrupt Department of [in]Justice).  In any other family concerned about its reputation for probity and honor, Hunter Biden would have been cast off as some sort of uncontrollable "black sheep."  In the Biden herd, though, Hunter blends right in with his unseemly, scuzzy kin.  The Biden pedigree is made from rotten stuff — more like a pustule than a bloodline and filled with dreck, mediocrity, selfishness, pusillanimity, and unrepentant sin.

When you stop to consider how shockingly meaningless Joe's "word as a Biden" schtick really is, it actually becomes tempting to consider whether the old, fatuous fraud is ironically — and just this once — telling the American people the truth!  Perhaps when he says, "I give you my word as a Biden," he is really saying: "I give you my word as an incestuous pervert who cannot learn to keep my hands off little girls or keep from sniffing and grabbing women against their will; as a shameless liar who distorts everything, including the circumstances of my own wife and daughter's tragic deaths, when those lies induce public sympathy or are otherwise advantageous; as a plagiarist with no original thoughts or accomplishments of my own; as a lifelong racist who has had many friendships with segregationists and race hustlers while lying about having been active in the civil rights movement; as a corrupt politician who has ties to the mob and whose family has profited generously from my public office; and as a traitor to the United States who has repeatedly sold out my country for the benefit of foreign interests in Ukraine, China, and anywhere else I can make a buck."  

I guess when you see how long it would take to vomit forth that mouthful of insidious nastiness, using the shorthand, "I give you my word as a Biden," just means that whatever is said next is almost certainly untrue.  

Seen from that perspective, Biden's time as installed president makes a lot more sense.  When he promised to unite the country by ridding it of petty divisions, what he really meant was that he planned to exacerbate racial animosities to the best of his abilities, rub salt in old wounds to ensure intolerance festers and anguish lingers, and incite hatred among groups of Americans who would otherwise get along.  When he promised to "bring us together," he meant that he would promote propaganda reframing the J6 protest for fair elections as an "insurrection" seeking to topple the government and use that laughably fraudulent pretense as an excuse to persecute and imprison his political enemies.  When he promised to be "an ally of the light, not the darkness," he meant that he would threaten concerned parents with criminal prosecution should they resist the government's program of sexualizing childhood, encouraging bodily mutilation, brainwashing innocents with "transgender" delusions, and promoting abortion-on-demand.

When he promised to "lead with science," he meant that he would use the unscrutinized declarations of unelected government health bureaucrats with secret political agendas as a sword and shield for imposing a dictatorship of unconstitutional mandates, censorship, ephemeral freedoms, and unjust orders contrary to established law.  When he promised to "listen to the experts and heed their advice," he meant that he would further empower an already-out-of-control Deep State to police Americans' thoughts and words for alleged "misinformation" and "hate"; expand the national security surveillance State to spy on Americans' every move; and target for criminal punishment those who nonetheless insist on engaging in "wrongthink."  When he promised to "always tell you the truth," he meant that his administration would construct "politically correct" falsehoods, propagate those falsehoods through a willingly compliant and compromised State-aligned news media, vilify dissent as harmful "disinformation," and characterize contrary viewpoints as mere "conspiracy theories."

Finally, when Biden recently claimed that he has "never been more optimistic about America's future," what he meant is that he has given China permission to send spy balloons loaded with explosives across the continent; criminal cartels permission to flood America with illegal aliens; the pharmaceutical companies permission to reap windfall profits from harmful, untested, yet government-mandated products; the World Health Organization and United Nations permission to usurp U.S. sovereignty; the Federal Reserve permission to print money on our way to economic Armageddon; and the World Economic Forum permission to usher in a "great reset" of centralized control and loss of individual liberty.  Surely all that carnage is worth a relatively small finder's fee of 10%.

When Commie Joe's statements are viewed in their proper context, he is just a presidential truth-teller.  Really.  After all, he gives us his word as a Biden!
