NOT EVEN A YEAR AND WE CLEARLY KNOW THE DEPTHS OF JOE BIDEN'S STAGGERING SELF-ENRICHMENT, CORRUPTION AND INCOMPETENANCE. BARACK OBAMA, ANOTHER LYING GAMER LAWYER, SAID IT PLAINLY: JOE BIDEN FUCKS UP EVERYTHING!
'Families Were Shattered': Tom Cotton Goes After Bill Clinton For Pushing To Add China To WTO
The Biden presidency has made us vulnerable to our enemies
For over 100 years, the United States was viewed by the rest of the world as the protector of the weak, defender of the oppressed, and an economic giant that led the free world to defeat the fascist regimes of Germany and Japan and later caused the former Soviet Union to collapse under our economic and military might. But in a frightening mere ten months, under the current bumbling Biden regime, we are now viewed as a powerless, aimlessly floating ship, adrift and captainless. Our outspoken enemies, China, Iran, and Russia, see this clearly and are moving quickly to take advantage of our now obvious-to-all vulnerability. Sadly and to our shame, those nations who once proudly looked up to us, following in our footsteps to fight oppression, now have second thoughts about our capability to lead. We are in deep doo-doo.
China, a vast, fascistic, military, and economic imperial giant, currently threatening the takeover of Taiwan, is now simultaneously making inroads into the Atlantic. Not only does it control the vital Panama Canal, but also the Wall Street Journal reports that the Chinese are now negotiating with the west African country of Equatorial Guinea to set up a naval base on its shore, making it a two-ocean threat to our national security. Undoubtedly, the Chinese, with their economic clout, will bribe the corrupt leaders of this poverty-racked nation to permit its modern, aggressive warships to sail the Atlantic. They will rule that ocean.
Putin, as of this writing, is massing nearly 200,000 troops ready to invade Ukraine again. He means business, and he knows Biden all too well. During Biden's term as vice president to Obama back in 2014, Putin invaded that nation and took over Kiev, with our nation shamefully standing by, merely "arming" the Ukrainians with packaged food and warm blankets.

Today's Russia, thanks to Biden's making us once again dependent on foreign energy supplies by shutting down our Keystone XL and other sources of energy that we exported, has left Europe leaning on Russia for its gas and petroleum sources, crippling Europe's military or economic response to come to Ukraine's aid. Many think it was no accident that Biden supported the Russian oil pipeline into Germany. Putin will rule Europe.
And Iran now seems, under Biden's weak-kneed presidency, to rule our Middle East policy. Our president is begging that the Islamist state accept our apologies for Trump's "rudely" leaving the Iranian/Obama nuclear deal and to return to it, giving them the green light to become a weaponized nuclear nation. And when Israel and the other signers of the Abraham Accords become the first victims of the mullahs' mushroom cloud, will Biden's aides awaken him from his afternoon nap to inform him? They will rule the Middle East.
The weak, ineffectual, most-probably-criminal Joe Biden, thanks to his actions and appointments to key positions, has made this nation vulnerable to its outspoken enemies. It's clear that our leadership role in the world has become nonexistent, making it a snap for our adversaries to have easy pickings on the victims they choose. We should reasonably fear we may be in line to become one of the prey on their list. Will we survive Biden's term in office?

L.A. Detective: ‘Safer to Hang Out with Alec Baldwin on a Movie Set Than to Go Shopping in Los Angeles’
“Our entire crony capitalist system, Democrat and Republican alike, has become a kleptocracy approaching par with third-world hell-holes. This is the way a great country is raided by its elite.” ---- Karen McQuillan AMERICAN THINKER.com
Most recently and dramatically, Biden lied about his knowledge of his son's shady dealings, lied about his own involvement in corruption and bribery, and lied about his current presidential agenda and what he wants to implement in regards to energy, fracking, court-packing, health care, education, and COVID among other issues.

THE BIDEN KLEPTOCRACY
American people deserve to know what China was up to with Joe Biden, especially when Beijing had already shelled out millions of dollars to Biden family members — including millions in set-asides for “the big guy.” What else is on that infamous Hunter Biden laptop? The conflicted Biden Justice Department cannot be trusted to engage in any meaningful oversight on this issue. We need a special counsel now.
TOM FITTON - JUDICIAL WATCH
Joe Biden didn’t do anything wrong? A time-honored method of taking bribes is having them paid to a family member, usually in exchange for nominal or nonexistent services. It is comical to watch “reporters” pretend not to understand this. MONICA SHOWALTER
“Protect and enrich.” This is a perfect encapsulation of the Clinton Foundation and the Obama book and television deals. Then there is the Biden family corruption, followed closely behind by similar abuses of power and office by the Warren and Sanders families, as Peter Schweizer described in his recent book “Profiles in Corruption.” These names just scratch the surface of government corruption. BRIAN C JOONDEPH
There’s also the little problem of Hillary’s incredible corruption (making her and Biden birds of a feather). And of course, the fact that Hillary’s unsecure server damaged national security in a way that would have seen an ordinary, politically unconnected person spend the rest of her life in prison—which, not coincidentally, is where Papa Joe belongs for using his debauched son Hunter as the bagman for decades of anti-American orruption. ANDREA WIDBURG
What’s really baffling is Hunter’s success with women. Despite being a total loser with a terrible drug habit and some weird sexual perversions, Hunter managed to seduce his brother’s widow, her sister, a stripper, and the woman he married, all over the course of four years. It’s enough to make one think that Hunter’s charm had less to do with the man himself and more with the benefits flowing from the Biden family cartel. ANDREA WIDBERG
Biden lied about his undergraduate degree and his majors, lied about his rank in law school, lied aboutscholarships and educational aid he had received, lied about his stance toward the Vietnam war while in college, lied about his plagiarism of other politician's writings and speeches, lied about the circumstances around his first wife's fatal accident, lied about how he met his second and current wife, and lied about the affair they were having when they were both married.

Biden’s political mutations
According to Dictionary.com, the 2021 word of the year is “allyship,” which is the state or condition of being an ally that involves cooperating with others for a common cause. Merriam-Webster chose “vaccine” as their 2021 WOTY; however, I believe “mutation” – something Biden’s positions do more than COVID-19 -- is a better choice.
Biden may engage in allyship with hordes of illegals crossing our borders, but domestically he’s more antagonistic. As senator, he occasionally reached across the aisle, but as senile president he has mutated into a progressive partisan who’s no ally to the majority of Americans – only 22% support his reelection and a large percentage of Americans think our country is on the wrong track.
Clearly, his presidential persona is weirdly variant, having mutated from a supposed moderate dealmaker into a disoriented mouthpiece for demented Dems. Fortunately, just as viruses tend to mutate into less potent strains in order to survive (by not killing their hosts), so, too, has Biden become less politically virulent as his misguided policy priorities flounder amidst low poll numbers.

Further evidence of Biden’s mutative state is that he once supported a “fence” on our southern border, and favored jailing employers who hire illegals. Turns out the presidential variant may now be more of an ally to illegal, unvaccinated aliens traipsing across our open borders than to American citizens who have to pay for their upkeep and suffer their crimes. He certainly showed no allyship toward the dedicated border patrol agents whom he evilly accused of lashing unvaccinated aliens from atop their sturdy horses.
Even for feckless, flip-flopping politicians, Biden’s policy mutations are noteworthy. Not only does he favor convenient “truths” over facts, but his subjective reality and selective memory have mutated into post-truth “truthiness.” In his warped reality the obscene Build Back Better bill will tamp down on inflation; after all, he insists it doesn’t cost a thing. Then it’s just off-putting when his freakish personage leans into the mic and whispers that businesses should pay employees more.
Biden experienced an epiphany that COVID-19 should not be politicized, despite lambasting Republican governors who resist his coronavirus polices, and despite his totally incongruous attack on Trump’s coronavirus response. Sure, he’s physically frail and a gaunt visage as the mutations take their toll, but he’s got some real mental issues to boot.
I miss the self-quarantining Bunker Biden, who was less contagious; by contrast, this highly mutated version has become a super-spreader of the progressive plague, albeit a groggy one. In fact, he bears an awful resemblance to the Grim Reaper who leverages pandemics for political power. How about giving us some social distancing, groggy grim Joe -- unless you actually dare to answer some straightforward questions. How can a petulant president not do that, anyway?
Here’s hoping that Senators Manchin and Sinema, and any other “moderate” Dems with a modicum of courage, provide us immunity from the rampant Biden mutations. Then, of course, we’ll need to do some contact tracing of his maleficent mutants behind the curtain, exposing the progressive allyship for the Woke rot that it is.
While focused on words, consider the interesting contronym: “left.” It can mean “remaining,” as in what’s left of Biden’s memory; “departed, “ as in left the podium before answering questions; or a position on the political spectrum. The latter has been overwhelmed by “far-left” mutant minions.
Fortunately, for our great Republic’s longevity, Americans are poised to administer some voting therapeutics that ensures fewer lefties are “left” to form more anti-American allyships. Let’s be sure to consign the grotesque mutants to the political graveyard so that America can long endure as the last, best hope of Earth.
Biden Megadonor Scores $500 Million Federal Loan for Solar Company
Politically connected First Solar also secured $3 billion in loan guarantees from Obama administration
A solar energy company owned by a Biden megadonor received a $500 million government loan to build a manufacturing facility in India, the Biden administration announced this week, raising questions about whether the company's political clout played any role in the financing decision.
The U.S. International Development Finance Corporation granted the loan to First Solar, which is owned by billionaire Walmart heir Lukas Walton, to build a solar module plant in India. Walton contributed over $300,000 to President Joe Biden's campaign last year, and over $100,000 to the Democratic National Committee, according to campaign finance records.
The loan to First Solar is the "largest single debt financing transaction" issued by the DFC, the agency announced this week. The DFC said the investment in the India project will "promote DFC's commitment to diversifying supply chains," following demands from lawmakers that the agency avoid funding any solar projects connected to forced labor in China.
Ethics watchdogs said the loan raises questions about whether First Solar's political connections played a role in the DFC's decision. The federal financing agency, which was formerly known as the Overseas Private Investment Corporation, has faced criticism in the past for funding projects linked to political donors. The loan also comes nine years after the Obama administration came under fire for approving $3 billion in loan guarantees to the same company—funding that Republican lawmakers alleged the company wasn't qualified to receive.
"The United States International Development Finance Corporation, formerly known as OPIC, has a history of deals gone bad when mixing taxpayer dollars with politically connected entities like First Solar," said Tom Anderson, director of the Government Integrity Project at the National Legal and Policy Center. "This agency has a history of favoring entities backed by huge political contributors, like First Solar, by giving them less scrutiny while prioritizing politically connected projects above entities and individuals who are not politically active."
A DFC spokesperson, asking to speak on background, said the deal was carefully assessed and unrelated to politics but declined to say if the White House had any input in the decision.
"This deal is a milestone in the U.S. effort to drive alternative supply chains that do not utilize forced labor, and absolutely nothing to do with politics," the spokesperson told the Washington Free Beacon. "DFC-supported projects undergo a rigorous due diligence process and are assessed based on their creditworthiness, development outcomes, and foreign policy impact. The agency is governed by a public-private board of directors with bipartisan membership."
In 2010, OPIC expedited a $10 million loan to a Hillary Clinton donor while Clinton was serving as secretary of state. The donor was supposed to use the loan to fund a Haiti housing relief project, but instead pocketed the money. He was sentenced to 12 years in prison for the scam.
First Solar came under scrutiny in 2012, when the GOP-led House Oversight Committee investigated a series of Department of Energy loans issued to solar companies by the Obama administration. The investigation was prompted by a scandal involving another politically connected solar energy company, Solyndra, which had declared bankruptcy and defaulted on a $500 million federal loan.
A House investigation turned up internal DOE emails that indicated First Solar's technology was not considered "innovative" by the loan program's technical director, which was a requirement for receiving the financing.
"The information currently accessible to the public raises the question of whether these companies received approval to use federal lands and taxpayer monies based not on the best value for the American people but the political clout of the recipients," then-senator Jeff Sessions (R., Ala.), ranking member of the Senate Budget Committee, said at the time.
Although First Solar's chairman testified to Congress that the company was "financially strong," the business was forced to furlough half of its employees at its solar plant near Los Angeles weeks later.
Last year, First Solar paid $350 million to settle a shareholder lawsuit brought by two United Kingdom pension funds, which claimed the company inflated its stock price and misled investors about its finances.
Rep. Jason Smith: Build Back Better Act Will ‘Bankrupt the Economy’
Rep. Jason Smith (R-MO), the ranking member of the House Budget Committee, said in a statement on Friday that the $4.9 trillion Build Back Better Act will “bankrupt the economy” while Americans continue to suffer from soaring inflation.
The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) found that the Build Back Better Act would add $3 trillion to the deficit over ten years and the true cost of the bill would be $4.9 trillion, which is more than double the bill’s $1.75 trillion official price tag.
Smith contended that the bill would devastate the American economy while consumer prices rise at levels not seen since 1982. He said:
This analysis from the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office confirms that Washington Democrats are misleading the public about the true cost and impact of their tax and spending agenda. For weeks, Democrats have ignored independent analyses that showed what CBO today has now confirmed – their reckless reconciliation bill will ultimately cost $4.9 trillion and add $3 trillion to the debt. In the past, Democrats heralded the CBO as the ‘gold standard.’ It is irresponsible and disrespectful to American taxpayers that Democrats remain in denial about the true impact of their agenda while at the same time they are doing nothing to tackle the highest spike in consumer prices since 1982, as confirmed by the Department of Labor this morning. In fact, their proposal will only make the recent spike in prices worse. Democrats are wasting precious time attempting to ram through an agenda that will bankrupt the economy, benefit the wealthy, and build the Washington bureaucracy.
The CBO found that the bill would cost far more than the bill’s projected cost if the nonpartisan were to assume that if many of the bill’s programs were made permanent. Democrats set arbitrary policy sunsets for many of the bill’s most expensive programs to make the bill appear less expensive.
Senate Budget Committee Ranking Member Lindsey Graham (R-SC) said in a statement Friday:
CBO has provided a true cost of the bill over ten years – assuming the programs never go away – which they will not. Their analysis is stunning. The true cost of the bill has more than doubled and the effect on the deficit is eightfold. This score should stop the effort to pass Build Back Better in its tracks because it will dramatically expand government and do great harm to energy production. We’re calling on the Democratic Party to shelve Build Back Better to give the American consumer and economy breathing room to recover.
He added, “I very much appreciate CBO scoring Build Back Better without budget gimmicks. We all know that the new provisions will not sunset – they never do.”
