Is Dianne Feinstein out to kill off Kamala Harris's presidential
bid?
Kamala Harris has always
been known for her lean and hungry, pushy, grabby, ambition, which
includes a willingness to sleep her way to the top to
get what she wants. Her political start began as a social mountaineer
with San Francisco's old-money Pacific Heights set dating from her 20s and then just moved
onward and upward.
That's not sitting well
with California's lizardy old-money senior Senator, Dianne Feinstein, who
knows that establishment well.
And so, she's taking some
action, as Fox News reports :
BLOG:
BIDEN AND FEINSTEIN GO WAY BACK WITH THEIR RED CHINA FOR RAW CASH DEALS
SIPHONED THROUGH HER HUSBAND AND HIS SON.
According to reports,
Feinstein, the senior senator from the Golden State, will throw a
fundraiser next month for Democratic 2020 presidential frontrunner Joe Biden -- and not for
Harris, another White House contender whose poll numbers suggest she could
probably use some high-profile help.
BLOG: WHAT FEINSTEIN MEANS IS THAT OL' BIDEN IS AS CORRUPT AS
SHE IS ANY DAY!
“My candidate would be
Joe Biden,” Feinstein told CNBC back then. “I watched him as vice president.
I’ve seen him operate. I’ve seen him perform and I think he brings a level of
experience and seniority, which I think is really important.”
The early evening
reception will be the first that Feinstein hosts for Biden in the 2020
election, CNBC reported. Her husband has already participated in several
fundraising events for Biden, who campaigned for Feinstein in 2018, when she
was re-elected by a landslide.
Oh, spare us. Feinstein
knows as well as anyone that old Joe is addled and gaffe-tastic. This is more
likely about putting Kamala back in her place.
Fox News speculated that
this fundraiser among the fatcat donors might just have been payback for
Harris's nasty first-debate attack all but accusing Biden of being a Bull
Conner racist. Remember Harris's phony earnestness in: "That little
girl was me"?
Sure, it's possible.
But it's also been known for close to a year that Feinstein considers
Harris a wretched parvenu who hasn't paid her dues.
Remember this?
“I’m a big fan of Sen.
Harris, and I work with her. But she’s brand-new here, so it takes a little bit
of time to get to know somebody,” Feinstein said of the junior senator,
according to the Los Angeles Times .
Her press secretary told
CNN that Feinstein later added that she certainly likes her California
colleague, saying, “Oh, I love Kamala.”
Translation in a plummy
accent: Do we know her?
Hard to get a better
old-money passive-aggressive remark than that one. People are either known or
unknown in Feinstein's rich circles and it's pretty obvious to Feinstein
that Kamala doesn't cut it.
What's more, Feinstein is
a 'get off my lawn, whippersnappers' non-ideological sort of small-c
conservative, or, as Fox News put it, she pulls rank. Remember this ?
Democratic Sen. Dianne
Feinstein pulled rank Friday when a group of kids tried to school her on
climate change.
After the group sought
her support for the Green New Deal , the 85-year-old senior
senator from California let them know she wasn't about to be bossed around by a
bunch of youngsters.
“You come in here, and
you say it has to be my way or the highway. I don’t respond to that,” Feinstein
continued. “I’ve gotten elected, I just ran. I was elected by almost a
million-vote plurality. And I know what I’m doing. So you know, maybe people
should listen a little bit.
So just the fundraiser in
Harris's home state of California was a shiv in the side to Kamala.
Why is that?
Well, for one thing, the
Democratic political set widely believes that to win the presidency, one must
win California. Harris is from California, so that stacks things in her
favor.
Now Feinstein is
marshalling money from California Biden's way? So that they give their money to
him and feel 'donor fatigue' when Kamala comes calling?
The matter is compounded
by the fact that the California Democratic campaign fatcats weren't impressed
with Harris's performance in the third debate, as this CNBC report here indicates. Feinstein
knows those people and may very well be egging them toward Biden, or at least
piling on.
Here's another thing:
Money from fatcats over
little-people donations is Kamala's vulnerable spot. The queen of fake Twitter followers is also
highly reliant on big dollar donors over the little
guys, even as the New York Times tries to claim she's changing
that. Well, maybe she is, but if she is, it would be in the infant stage and in
any case, they're taking her word for it. More likely, she still relies on the
big boys, because that's what she knows.
Which would mean that
Feinstein's bid to separate Harris from that cash lifeline is like that of
General Grant at Vicksburg, targeting Confederate supply lines. The California
dinosaur strategizes.
The Feinstein fundraiser,
which will channel and suction big money toward Biden, can't help but come
at a cost to Harris. And Feinstein, right in the middle of the Pacific Heights
crowd, is lobbing her cannon ball where the funds are richest and Kamala's ties
are tightest.
It almost looks like a
concerted chess move to checkmate the upstart. And given the evidence of
Feinstein's antipathy toward Harris, one can't help but think it's all
intentional.
The Electability
Myth of Joe Biden
The leftstream media
characterization of Joe Biden is that he is moderate, likable, and the
most electable Democrat candidate. He is affable Uncle Joe, the
self-made lunchbox-toting common man of the people.
In truth, he is none of
the above.
Joe the Moderate
The "Biden as
moderate" canard is getting increasingly hard to defend. On the
economy-, car-, and cow-killing $93-trillion Green New Deal, Biden was asked if
it goes too far or is unrealistically promising too
much.
He answered, "No, no
it's not."
When previously asked if there
would be any place for fossil fuels, including coal and fracking, in his
administration, Biden answered, "No...we would make sure it's eliminated,
and no more subsidies for either one of those, period."
Green New
Deal? Two thumbs up. Fossil fuels? Fracking
and coal? Kill them. How he would eliminate them is one
of history's great mysteries.
Not content to destroy
the economy, Biden has embraced the full gamut of abortion radicalism, to
include flipping to oppose the Hyde Amendment , which forbids
taxpayer funds to pay for most abortions. This is the amendment that
pro-abortion Democrats traditionally use to hide their radicalism, but Biden
threw off even that fig leaf.
He said, "I can't
justify leaving millions of women without the health care they
need. If I believe health care is a right, as I do, I can no longer
support [the amendment]."
The death-cult
pro-abortion groups love Biden because they know he is fully committed to their
hellish agenda.
On border security , Biden's position is
indistinguishable from those of the other radicals in the party. His
hand went up when asked if he is in favor of decriminalizing border security
and providing taxpayer-funded health care to non-citizens.
When asked about
immigration detention centers, he answered, "Close them
down! By the way, we don't need them!" Apparently,
arguing that nations don't need borders exemplifies moderation.
Biden is a panderer with
no core convictions. Today's Democrat primary voters are radical, so
Biden is a radical. His positions are all but indistinguishable from
those of socialists Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren. The entire
Democrat primary has been an extremism arms race, and Biden regularly ups the
ante.
Affable Uncle Joe
The media regularly
compliment Biden for his sterling personality. He's that crazy but
lovable uncle we should all want to meet for a beer to swap stories about
toiling for a workman's wage in the coal mines. But, like most of
Biden's biography, his entire persona is a lie.
Biden has always been a
plagiarist and prevaricator. Most of his lies have served his
own biography. These are among the creepiest of lies. He
is relentless in his biography-building. He was the original valor
thief, seeking to steal the best parts of other people's biographies to add to
his own.
The media gloss over
these bold lies as gaffes. But these lies speak to a serious
character defect. Biden is egocentric, delusional, and
small-minded. This lying addiction is not something new that can be
explained away as a symptom of a failing mind. It has been the
central strand of Biden's political DNA since before dinosaurs wandered the
earth.
So, okay, Biden may be a
liar, but at least he's a nice guy. Um...not so much.
Would a nice guy tell black
Americans that Republicans are going to "put you all back in chains"?
Would a first-rate personality say candidate
Barack Obama was the first "mainstream African-American," an
"articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy," implying
that other black Americans are lacking in all these qualities and that Obama
was somehow a new invention? This is one of the most outrageously
racist comments I've seen in recent years.
Biden apologized to
Obama, the one black American he wasn't really insulting. He should
have apologized to everyone else. Pro-civility Biden is not very
civil at all.
There is also Biden's
penchant for making women and girls uncomfortable, a habit that would be
treated entirely different if he were a Republican. Imagine if Vice
President Mike Pence liked to bend over and sniff girls' hair, or grab a
woman's arm and hold her essentially captive until he is done talking to her.
Somehow, I don't think
the leftstream media would tell us it was just Mike being Mike, an endearing
old-fashioned character trait. Instead, they would have painted him
as the worst kind of pedophile and misogynist.
So if Biden is not
moderate and not likable, what is he basing his electability argument on?
Electable Biden, the
Political Unicorn
Biden has pulled off his
greatest trick yet in convincing a sizable chunk of the Democratic Party,
particularly the power brokers, that he is the most electable
Democrat. He argues that he is an establishment moderate Democrat
who has broad electoral appeal. That's about as true as his recent
war story.
He's also argued that his
exemplary personality will exert a gravitational pull on voters in places like
Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin. But what will matter more to
these voters: that Biden claims to have once been a coal miner or that he has
promised to destroy coal miners?
Those voters who crossed
over to vote for President Trump against a fake, condescending liberal
politician who excites nobody are not going to cross back over to vote for...a
fake, condescending liberal politician who excites nobody. Many
Republicans are pulling for Biden, not because they like him, but because they
consider him the weakest candidate.
Liberals will line up to
vote for anyone not named Trump. The real battle is for independents
and former Democrats who crossed over in 2016. Because of this, the
most electable Democrat candidate is Tulsi Gabbard. Biden is not
going to win disaffected voters back, nor will he drive turnout among the
identity politics–obsessed Democrat base.
Gabbard, while liberal,
has interesting things to say and embraces positions that could attract
independents. She doesn't emanate raw hatred and contempt toward the
military, police, and America. She acknowledges that we need borders and, while still
an abortion radical, at least
admits that some abortions should be restricted, which puts her way outside the
Democrat mainstream.
This is not an
endorsement. Gabbard is liberal and would be a poor
choice. But, unlike the rest of the Democrat candidates, she is
prone to occasional bouts of sanity. After both of the first two
Democrat debates, she was among the most Googled candidates. She
is this year's Bernie Sanders, the candidate the Democrat establishment
buried. The Democrats did the Republicans a huge favor, because
Gabbard would have been a tough out.
Instead, the Democrats
are on course to elect an avowed socialist or a close facsimile in
Biden. To loosely paraphrase advice given by Napoleon,
never interfere with the Democrat establishment when it's in the process of
destroying itself by nominating a boring, radical, unlikable liar like Lunchbox
Joe.

An American bank

President Donald
Trump’s children have made front pages across the world for their dicey

by those close to Barack Obama, Joe Biden, John Kerry, Mitch McConnell, and
lesser-known politicians who have been in the game longer.
In many parts of
the world, the children of powerful political figures go into business and
profit handsomely, not necessarily because they are good at it, but because
people want to curry favor with their influential parents. This is a relatively
new phenomenon in the United States. But for relatives of some prominent

Biden Needs to Address Ukraine Accusations ‘Front and Center’

Schweizer said the former vice
president needs to address his family’s dealings in Ukraine “front and center”
rather than ignoring because polling indicates most people believe it needs
further investigation.
“[Hunter Biden] has been radio
silent, and I think if you look at the way the Bidens have handled this issue,
it’s been to not answer any questions, which I think just raises further
suspicions,” Schweizer told Fox News Channel’s “America’s
Newsroom.” “Hunter Biden is somewhere, allegedly in California hiding out,
and Joe Biden won’t answer any questions on this. He gets angry.”
“I think at some point they’re going
to have to address these issues front and center because as it stands right
now, polls indicate that most people believe this needs further investigation
and needs to be looked at,” he added.
GRIFTER AND PHONY CHARITY FOUNDATION
FRAUDSTER HILLARY CLINTON’S LONG SERVICE TO AMERICA’S MOST EVIL BANKSTERS
The judge found these
releases, together with the publication of Clinton’s secret speeches to Wall
Street banks, in which she pledged to be their representative, were “matters of
the highest public concern.” They “allowed the American electorate to look
behind the curtain of one of the two major political parties in the United
States during a presidential election.”
“Clinton also
failed to mention how he and Hillary cashed in after his
presidential tenure to make themselves multimillionaires, in
part by taking tens of millions in speaking fees from Wall Street
bankers.”
THE BRIBES SUCKING LIVES OF HILLARY
& BILLARY
The Clintons have been a
criminal enterprise since they came to power in Arkansas. The list
of scandals they have generated is long and tawdry. Their principal
goal then and now has always been to enrich themselves. They never
once had a moral compunction about lying, cheating, selling, and stealing their
way to wealth. They are the Perons of America. They eventually
set up a "foundation" and the money kept rolling in.
Only six percent of the
billions of dollars the "Foundation" takes in goes to
charity. The rest subsidizes the lavish lifestyles of the Clintons
and their sycophants; those people who have sold their souls to rub shoulders
with unadulterated power.

Turns out Biden's family not the only one to benefit from
Ukrainian fossil fuels
On Sept. 24, 2019, Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced the official
impeachment inquiry that would be led by
the Intelligence Committee and Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.). At
first, this was a curious decision to objective persons, since the Judiciary
Committee has the authority over this type of procedure. At the
time, Pelosi indicated a threat by President Donald Trump to our national
security during the July 25 conversation between him and President Zelensky of
Ukraine. She did this without the benefit of the transcript, but she
doubtless already knew much of the CIA "whistleblower's"
complaint. Further, the Ukrainian
president disputes her version.
But this is not the rationale for her haste to convene the
investigation. It appears that the D.C. swamp benefits another
powerful family. T he Biden family has
gotten special treatment from Ukrainian oil interests, and the Pelosi family
has a similar advantage. Paul Pelosi, Jr. was a board member of
Viscoil and an executive at its related company NRGLab, which was involved in
energy business in Ukraine. Perhaps the use of the Intelligence
Committee has given the Democrats the opportunity to limit Republican
questioning and maintain secrecy over the responses from subpoenaed witnesses. This
would prevent any official record implicating Pelosi's son. This also explains her reluctance to take a vote authorizing the
investigation, since the minority party would gain some rights.
This is interesting also since much of the Democratic Party
rejects carbon-based energy sources. Biden has made this a part of
his campaign. The Green New Deal proposals will eventually end
dependency on oil and gas as an energy source. But this does not
stop these politicos from benefiting financially from this sector of the
economy. This reminds one of the financial benefits that Al Gore's
father had from Occidental Petroleum, which was one of the great polluters
(remember Love Canal?). He chose to make money selling carbon
offsets to atone and make his own name.
The Ukrainian oil company Burisma used
many well connected members of the D.C. establishment connected to the Obama
administration. This interlocking swamp is a threat to the USA. But
the media have managed to convince a vast number of Americans that Trump is the
threat. When Trump railed against Pelosi in Louisiana on Friday, he
was accusing her of not just splitting the nation politically, but also ignoring
the financial benefits to powerful families at the detriment of our national
security. This also helps explain the constant discussion in public
about Biden's son Hunter, in addition to the political advantage he might gain.
No wonder the establishment (including many Republicans) wants to
impeach Trump. Family security always "trumps" national
security in the D.C. swamp.
Hunter
Biden Leaves China Board as Trump Attacks Hit Home
AP Photo/Pablo Martinez Monsivais, File
13 Oct 20196,254
2:39
Hunter Biden is walking away from the board of a Chinese-backed
private equity company as part of a public pledge to disavow all foreign work
if his father, former U.S. Vice President Joe Biden, gains the presidency in
2020.
Joe Biden’s second son made his move after a month of pushing by
U.S. President Donald Trump who has publicly highlighted the perceived – and
real – conflicts of interest represented by Biden’s work in Asia.
A statement released on his behalf by his legal counsel George
Mesires said his relationship with the management company of a private equity
fund that’s backed by Chinese state-owned entities will end within weeks.
The 49-year-old doesn’t state whether he will be divesting from
BHR (Shanghai) Equity Investment Fund Management Company. The company was set
up in 2013 to invest Chinese capital outside of China.
Instead the young Biden pledged he wouldn’t work for any
foreign-owned companies or serve on their boards during a potential Biden
administration.
“Hunter always understood that his father would be guided,
entirely and unequivocally, by established U.S. policy, regardless of its
effects on Hunter’s professional interests,” the statement said. “He never
anticipated the barrage of false charges against both him and his father by the
President of the United States.”
Just two days ago Trump again
highlighted the problem of Hunter Biden seeking work overseas during a
political rally in Louisiana, as Breitbart News reported .
Trump: ‘The Fake News Is Always Covering Up For Joe Biden’
Volume 90%
“He doesn’t know what a gasoline tank looks like,” Trump
said, explaining Biden’s son knew nothing about energy despite earning up to
$83,000 a month for sitting on a board of a corrupt energy company in Ukraine.
Trump then ripped Hunter for leaving China with $1.5 billion in
investments from the bank of China despite knowing “nothing” and mocked
the news broadcasts for repeatedly saying that Trump’s claims of corruption
were “totally unsubstantiated” … at Biden’s request.
“It’s not unsubstantiated, he took a fortune out of Ukraine,
knew nothing, took a fortune out of China,” he said.
He expressed skepticism Hunter Biden was able to get $1.5
billion in Chinese investments because they thought he was a good investment.
“For a guy to walk in from off the street with no experience, a
bad track record, just got thrown out of the navy, and he walks away with $1.5
billion?” Trump said.
