As a senator, Biden vigorously voted for several similar bills. In short, based on his voting record, Joe Biden is not (and never was) a champion of disadvantaged Americans, unless you consider multi-billion-dollar credit card corporations and millionaires “disadvantaged.” Chris Talgo
“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.
Jesse Watters: The people responsible won’t talk
The main objective of “political animals” like Obama and the Clintons is to get elected; it’s not to fix a broken America, nor to protect her. There are people who govern and there are people who campaign; Obama and the Clintons are the latter. Just look at the huge Republican electoral gains under Obama and the Clintons. It’s amazing that Democrats who still care about their party still support the very people who have brought it down.
Report– Joe Biden Warned (GAMER LAWYER) Brother Frank: ‘For Christ’s Sake, Watch Yourself’
President Joe Biden cautioned his brother Frank about potential business dealings during his campaign for president, according to a report.
“For Christ’s sake, watch yourself,” Biden said according to a report in Politico. “Don’t get sucked into something that would, first of all, hurt you.”
Politico cited a “person with knowledge of the conversation” in its report and said that Biden was “jocular and serious” in his comment to his brother.
Biden’s intention, Politico reports, was to protect his brother from “being hurt and vilified” because of his connections to the president.
Since Biden’s inauguration, questions about members of his family have been raised regarding their business dealings, especially after Republicans questioned his son Hunter Biden’s business deals with foreign countries during the campaign.
Frank Biden’s law firm, The Berman Law Group, promoted his relationship to President Biden in an advertisement on Inauguration Day.
“The two Biden brothers have long held a commitment to pushing environmental issues to the forefront; the president-elect has vowed to rejoin the Paris Agreement and wants to set ambitious greenhouse gas reduction targets, for example,” the ad read.
A White House official responded to the story by warning that Joe Biden’s name should not be used in any commercial advertisement.
“It is this White House’s policy that the President’s name should not be used in connection with any commercial activities to suggest, or in any way that could reasonably understood to imply, his endorsement or support,” the official told CNBC in January.
OPEC+ Slaps Biden Down with Smaller-than-Expected Production Increase, Possible Cuts
OPEC+, a grouping that includes Saudi Arabia and its Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries plus Russia, slapped President Joe Biden’s pleas for increased oil production aside with a smaller-than-expected boost for August — and production cuts are reportedly on the table for September.
Saudi Energy Minister Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman, a highly influential voice within OPEC+, suggested on Monday that reduced production could be necessary to stabilize markets because recession fears and the war in Ukraine drove global markets into “a state of schizophrenia” and reduced demand for oil.
Abdulaziz also defied the Biden administration by insisting Russia remains a member in good standing of OPEC+ and hinting its status may remain unchanged when a new OPEC+ agreement is drafted in the near future.
“The comments are the latest indication that Mr. Biden’s July visit to Jeddah didn’t help toward lower prices at American gas stations, and are the opposite of what the Biden administration hoped to achieve during the president’s trip to the kingdom in July,” the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) observed.

The WSJ recalled Biden administration officials confidently predicting the Saudis would increase oil output after Biden’s visit to the Kingdom, including a prediction of “positive announcements coming out of the next OPEC meeting.”

Instead, OPEC increased production by a paltry 100,000 barrels per day for the coming month and is now talking about outright cuts. The Saudis publicly disputed some of Biden’s comments about his meeting with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and expressed their displeasure at Biden’s reckless efforts to restore the Iran nuclear deal.
Analysts on Tuesday mentioned the possible return of Iranian oil to world markets as one reason OPEC may begin ramping down its own production.
The Biden administration has been comically scrambling to squeeze some political benefit from reduced gas prices, even though recent improvements at the pump were entirely due to the looming threat of a recession and cratering demand from China. A hint of times to come was given when oil prices climbed $1.30 a barrel overnight, merely because Abdulaziz talked about production cuts.
Even as Biden was leading America into a recession, Saudi Arabia posted 11.8-percent economic growth driven by record oil profits
