On Wednesday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “The Last Word,” Sen. Debbie Stabenow (D-MI) said that “if you ask billionaires to pay something, that’s not a tax increase, more than zero, it’s not a tax increase.”

While discussing the negotiations over the $3.5 trillion budget package, Stabenow said, “We really believe that it’s time that the American people know that somebody’s got their back, and that the tax code should work for working people, not just the rich, not just the millionaires and billionaires. We believe that if you ask billionaires to pay something, that’s not a tax increase, more than zero, it’s not a tax increase.”

Peter Schweizer, president of the Government Accountability Institute (GAI), said on Monday that his organization had confirmed that President Joe Biden “was a direct beneficiary” of Hunter Biden’s financial deals with foreign interests.

“We do have a copy, by the way, here at GAI of [Hunter Biden’s] laptop and all the files,” Schweizer said on the Sean Hannity Show. “It confirms that Joe Biden was a direct beneficiary.”

LISTEN (interview begins at 1:05:05):

Schweizer explained how GAI cross-referenced Secret Service travel logs during Joe Biden’s tenure as vice president to corroborate the authenticity of Hunter Biden’s emails.

He remarked:

GAI asked, “How can we demonstrate whether the emails are real?” … We already have, for example, Hunter Biden’s Secret Service travel records. They were released by Senator [Ron] Johnson’s committee. These are the official records that say the Secret Service traveled with Hunter to this location, to that location, etcetera.

So we asked, “Do the emails on Hunter Biden’s laptop correspond with the travel records? If our email references that [Hunter] is in Dubai on a certain date, does that line up with the Secret Service travel records? Absolutely, 100 percent.

…

So there is no question. Of course Hunter Biden hasn’t denied it. But there’s no question that the laptop emails that we have possession of are 100 percent accurate and correspond directly with existing material, and the information is devastating.

GAI is in the process of investigating its copy of files found on Hunter Biden’s laptop, Schweizer shared. He said GAI’s forthcoming reports on the laptop’s contents will expose disastrous dimensions of the Biden family.

“We’re in the middle of the investigation now, but by the end of the year it will be completed, and it will take on a far more sinister tone than it has even now in terms of what it says about the Biden family and the vulnerabilities of the Biden family,” Schweizer stated. “It’s that bad.”

Hannity asked, “On a scale of one to ten, how bad are the coming revelations from this laptop?”

He added, “The coming revelations [from our investigation] based on what we are in the middle of right now, on a scale of one to ten — and you know Sean, I’m pretty cautious about this stuff — frankly are an eleven. It’s that bad.”

Hunter Biden claimed to not know whether the laptop in question was his. Asked in April of the laptop’s authenticity, he replied, “For real, I don’t know.”

Zuckerberg’s Cheap Labor Group Praises Democrats’ Amnesty Plan

Mark Zuckerberg’s FWD.us lobby group of investors is praising Senate Democrats’ proposed budget package which reportedly includes a massive amnesty to pack the United States labor market with newly legalized illegal aliens.

On Wednesday, Senate Democrats said they have agreed to a $3.5 trillion budget package that includes provisions to spend billions of American taxpayer dollars on giving amnesty to millions of illegal aliens who would be immediately legalized and thus allowed to take jobs in the U.S. economy.

The amnesty push comes after a major lobbying effort by FWD.us, which seeks to pack the U.S. labor market with foreign workers to boost profit margins for multinational corporations such as Facebook, to slip the amnesty into a filibuster-proof “reconciliation” maneuver that would only need majority support in the Senate to pass.

“We are pleased to see meaningful efforts to fix our long-failed immigration system including a pathway to citizenship has been included in the Senate budget resolution package and has received support from the White House,” FWD.us President Todd Schulte said in a statement of the Democrats’ amnesty plan:

As bipartisan talks continue, we are encouraged by this dual-track effort to ensure that legalization providing an urgently-needed pathway to citizenship for Dreamers, TPS holders, farmworkers, and other essential workers passes as soon as possible. This is vital to our response and recovery from COVID-19 and to the long term success of our families, communities, and economy. [Emphasis added]

…

We expect all Members of Congress to use every ounce of their power and leverage all avenues available to pass meaningful reforms this year, including Democrats through reconciliation. This is permissible, it is urgent and it is the right thing to do. Lawmakers must act with urgency to protect immigrant families and strengthen our economy, and finally send this resolution to President Biden’s desk for signature. [Emphasis added]

In 2013, Zuckerberg joined with other billionaire investors to create the FWD.us lobby group as they tried to pass the 2013 “Gang of Eight” amnesty. The bill was blocked by House and Senate Republicans.

Sen. Alex Padilla (D-CA) suggested this week that President Joe Biden is on board with slipping an amnesty through Congress via the filibuster-proof reconciliation maneuver:

Are they aware of my interest and my request? Absolutely. And I haven’t been told no. I believe the White House is supportive of both an ambitious infrastructure package, and as substantive immigration reform as you can achieve in any way possible.

Should Democrats try to sneak an amnesty into a budget via reconciliation, it will be up to Senate Parliamentarian Elizabeth MacDonough to halt the plan on the grounds that the measure is not budget-related but actually alters federal immigration law. MacDonough previously stopped Democrats from increasing the federal minimum wage visa reconciliation.

Already, current immigration levels put downward pressure on U.S. wages while redistributing about $500 billion in wealth away from America’s working and middle class and towards employers and new arrivals, research by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine has found.

The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) has repeatedly found that amnesty for illegal aliens would be a net fiscal drain for American taxpayers while driving down U.S. wages.

Every year, 1.2 million legal immigrants receive green cards to permanently resettle in the U.S. In addition, 1.4 million foreign nationals are given visas to take American jobs while hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens enter the U.S. annually.

Citigroup, Wells Fargo, and Bank of America Report Profit Surge as Biden’s Inflation Crushes American Workers

Citigroup, Wells Fargo, Bank of America, and investment firm BlackRock reported increased earnings Wednesday, while everyday consumer goods prices have increased due to President Joe Biden’s inflation.

Bank of America earnings per share soared 111 percent to 78 cents, and Wells Fargo earnings surged 247 percent to 97 cents a share, as Citigroup earnings per share are set to increase 298 percent to $1.99.

Also increasing their profits, BlackRock, whose principle is a supporter of mitigating the theory of “climate change,” recorded earnings, adjusted for non-recurring costs, at $10.03 per share, along with a stock price increase of 26 percent since Biden assumed office.

In more good news for the Wall Street elites, JPMorgan Chase posted on Tuesday “second-quarter earnings of $11.9 billion, or $3.78 per share, which exceeded the $3.21 estimate of analysts surveyed by Refinitiv.”

Goldman Sachs additionally reported second-quarter earnings Tuesday “of $15.02 per share, topping analysts’ expectation of $10.24 earnings per share,” CNBC explained. “The bank posted its second-best ever quarterly investment banking revenue as a rush of IPOs hit Wall Street last quarter.”

The reaping of large profits by big banks and the Wall Street firms comes as consumer goods prices are increasing due to inflation.

But despite Biden’s claims, “No one is talking about this great, great, you know [inflation],” Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell said Wednesday that inflation “will likely remain elevated in coming months” before acknowledging “that price gains have been larger and more persistent than many” Democrats predicted, the Associated Press reported.

Breitbart News reported Wednesday the Producer Price Index rose 7.3 percent in June from 12 months earlier, the largest demand since 12-month data was first introduced in 2010. In comparison to May, the index rose one percent. On average during the pre-pandemic Trump administration, the index rose by around 0.2 percent per month.

The rising index translates to specific price increases for items, such as used cars (29 percent), strawberries (26 percent), blueberries (15 percent), Baguette (11 percent), furniture (9 percent), olives (6 percent), takeout/fast food (6 percent), tampons (5 percent), flowers/plants (5 percent), dog treats (4 percent), rose wine (3 percent), computers (2 percent), craft beer (2 percent), milk (1.6 percent), and bread (1.3 percent).

Meanwhile, big tech is censoring content that connects Biden’s economic polices with Biden’s inflation, presumably because increased prices for the American worker exposes the Democrat Party’s chances of retaining the House and the Senate in the 2022 midterms.
