The hubris of the American ruling class and venality on the part of Joe Biden has placed the United States in the position of being humiliated and extorted by the Chinese Communists, who have bribed his son, family and ultimately him. Once Biden became president, the Chinese expected reciprocity with the unspoken reality of their exposing the depth of his duplicitous and potentially treasonous activity hanging over his head.
BIDEN'S SEC OF TRESURY PROTECTS THE BIDEN CRIME FAMILY AND HEIR DIRTY MONEY BANK TRANSFERS
Over the years, U.S. banks have flagged over 150 SARs from Hunter and James Biden that included “large” amounts of money flagged for further review. SARs “often contain evidence of potential criminal activities, such as money laundering and fraud,” according to a 2020 Senate report.
Biden’s Susceptibility to Blackmail has Unleashed Domestic and International Chaos
It has often been speculated what would happen to this nation if a decadently compromised president who willingly succumbed to extortion from both domestic and foreign interests were elected. That possibility is no longer in the realm of speculation. For the past 27 months the United States has experienced this devastating eventuality, as no president in this nation’s history has been as susceptible to domestic and international blackmail as Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr.
‘Technology Superpower’ China Represents an ‘Epoch-Defining’ Challenge, Warns UK Security Chief
Communist China represents an “epoch-defining challenge” to the Western world as it advances towards becoming a “technological superpower”, a top security official in the United Kingdom has warned.
At the annual CyberUK conference in Belfast on Tuesday, the head of the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) Lindy Cameron gave her most ominous warnings on the threat posed by the communist regime in Beijing and urged Western powers to not underestimate the “dramatic rise of China as a technology superpower” which it intends on leveraging to achieve a “dominant role in global affairs”
According to a readout of her speech provided to The Times of London, the head of Britain’s cyber protection apparatus said:“Bluntly we cannot afford not to keep pace otherwise we risk China becoming the predominant power in cyberspace,” adding that countering Beijing’s potential tech dominance represents an “epoch-defining challenge” to the West.
“China has identified several existing and emerging technologies as being vital to its future national security. And it has an aspiration to become a world leader in setting technological standards. So we need to be clear: China is not only pushing for parity with Western countries, it is aiming for technical supremacy. It will use its tech strength as a lever to achieve a dominant role in global affairs.
“What does this mean for cybersecurity? Bluntly we cannot afford not to keep pace otherwise we risk China becoming the predominant power in cyberspace. Some may dismiss this as far-fetched or scaremongering, but it is a risk I would urge you to take seriously. This is simply not something about which any of us can be complacent.”
The warning comes amid increasing concerns that Chinese dictator Xi Jinping may launch an invasion to capture the island of Taiwan, a self-governing democracy that Beijing claims the right to, despite Taiwan having its own distinct culture, military, and written language from the mainland and the fact that the Chinese Communist Party has never ruled over the island in its history.
It appears that the West may be fractured on whether it would support the Taiwanese should the Chinese cross the Straight and wage war upon the island. Earlier this month, French President Emmanuel Macron — on the back of a meeting with Xi Jinping in Guangdong — said that Europe should not “follow” the United States into a war with China over Taiwan.
Should Beijing capture Taipei, it would represent a severe threat to the global supply of semiconductors, a crucial component in nearly all forms of modern technology. Currently, Taiwan produces over 60 per cent of the entire world’s supply of semiconductors and over 90 per cent of the most advanced models. Control of the industry by the CCP would thus give Xi Jinping the ability to blackmail the West on a host of issues with the threat of shutting off supplies of the crucial components.
Meanwhile, in Britain, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has been less conciliatory to the Chinese than his counterpart in Paris, yet he has so far refused to label the regime as a “strategic threat” as his predecessor Liz Truss reportedly intended on doing before being unceremoniously removed from Downing Street by Sunak and his pro-China chancellor, Jeremy Hunt, who happens to be married to a literal Chinese propagandist.
Going back to his time as finance chief under Boris Johnson, Sunak has long expressed a desire for the UK to deepen trade ties with China. Some have questioned his motives for doing so, as he married into the family of the founder of Indian tech giant Infosys, which still reportedly owns two Chinese subsidiaries.

China Calls Its Illegal NYC Police Station a ‘Service Center,’ Accuses U.S. of Repressing Its Agents
The Chinese Communist Party responded with bombast on Tuesday to the news that New York prosecutors had arrested two people on charges of running an illegal “police station” in the city to persecute Chinese dissidents, claiming the arrests were “political manipulation” and denying the existence of the stations.
New York officials announced on Monday that an investigation into illicit law enforcement operations by Chinese government operatives in Manhattan had resulted in the arrests of two men, “Harry” Lu Jianwang and Chen Jinping, allegedly tasked with running Chinese law enforcement operations in the United States. U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of New York Breon Peace accused the suspects of having “repeatedly and flagrantly violat[ing] our nation’s sovereignty by opening and operating a police station in the middle of New York City.”
The Chinese government used the illegal police station, American law enforcement officials assert, to target, threaten, and silence people in the United States who vocally criticized the Chinese government, most prominently dissidents in the Chinese-American community.
The Chinese Communist Party’s establishment of illegal law enforcement units in cities abroad first surfaced in a report published in September by the non-governmental organization Safeguard Defenders, which listed New York alongside a long list of other major Western cities in Canada, Brazil, the United Kingdom, and other states, as hosting these illicit operations. At the time, Chinese government officials responded to the report by confirming the existence of the “police stations,” but claiming they were innocuous outposts for activities such as helping Chinese nationals renew their driver’s licenses.
The director of Safeguard Defenders, Peter Dahlin, noted on Monday that his organization had identified over 100 such Chinese police operations around the world.
Responding to the news during his regular press briefing on Tuesday, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin insisted, “there are simply no so-called ‘overseas police stations,” though he had confirmed their existence in October.
“Due to [coronavirus], a large number of overseas Chinese nationals have been unable to return to China in time for services such as renewing their driving license. As a solution to these difficulties, relevant sub-national authorities have opened up an online licensing platform,” Wang said at the time.
Wang reiterated on Tuesday that the operations U.S. officials identified do exist, but referred to them as “overseas Chinese service centers.”
“The U.S. drew malignant association between overseas Chinese service centers and Chinese diplomatic and consular officials and made groundless accusations against China,” Wang told reporters. “This is clearly political manipulation. About the ‘overseas police stations,’ we have made it clear many times that the allegation has no factual basis.”
“There are simply no so-called ‘overseas police stations,'” Wang continued. “China adheres to the principle of non-interference in other countries’ internal affairs, strictly observes international laws and respects the judicial sovereignty of all countries. We hope relevant parties will not hype up or dramatize this.”
Wang also accused American officials of “slander” and “transnational repression,” the term U.S. prosecutors used for China’s threats and intimidation of dissidents in New York.
“China firmly opposes the U.S.’s slanders and smears, its political manipulation, the false narrative of ‘transnational repression,’ and blatant prosecution of Chinese law enforcement and cyber administration officials,” Wang said. “The U.S. has long suppressed dissent through secret surveillance, illegal wiretapping, global manhunts and behind-the-scenes deals,” he added, without providing examples or evidence.
“The ‘transnational repression’ is an allegation that best matches the U.S.’s own practices,” Wang claimed.

China’s state-run Global Times newspaper, its most aggressive English-language publication, also weighed in on the charges on Tuesday, calling the Department of Justice (DOJ) accusations “nonsense.”
“Washington’s approach to handling ties with China is shambolic with no clear main thrust, said Chinese analysts,” according to the government propaganda outlet. “They criticized US decision-makers for their refusal to correct their mistakes and for failure to remove the obstacles they set for the dialogues, while continuing to castigate China for its attitude toward the US.”
The newspaper cited an anonymous Chinese government “expert” who confirmed the existence of the illegal police operations but downplayed them as “completely transparent” public service enterprises.
“The so-called secret police stations or police outposts mentioned by US authorities and some US media or institutions are not secret at all,” the unnamed Chinese “expert” said. “They are completely transparent and just providing very basic services to local people to help them apply for visas or renew their Chinese driving licenses, and have nothing to do with law-enforcement or intelligence gathering.”
The Times went on to disparage the victims of China’s transnational repression operations as “corrupted officials and criminal suspects” that Beijing had a genuine interest in threatening or detaining.
The Chinese government’s public-facing officials and media outlets have, at press time, only addressed the arrests of Lu and Chen. The DOJ revealed their detention in concert with a second law enforcement operation targeting dozens of suspected Chinese government agents abroad that stand accused of aiding operations to threaten and repress dissidents, as well as spread Chinese government propaganda online. The DOJ accused about 40 individuals, most believed to be in China and Indonesia, of working to create “thousands of fake online personas on social media sites, including Twitter, to target Chinese dissidents through online harassment and threats.”
“As alleged, the PRC [People’s Republic of China] government deploys its national police … as a troll farm,” U.S. Attorney Peace explained at a press conference on Monday, “that attacks persons in our country for exercising free speech in a manner that the PRC government finds disagreeable, and also spreads propaganda whose sole purpose is to sow divisions within the United States.”

Biden’s Susceptibility to Blackmail has Unleashed Domestic and International Chaos
It has often been speculated what would happen to this nation if a decadently compromised president who willingly succumbed to extortion from both domestic and foreign interests were elected. That possibility is no longer in the realm of speculation. For the past 27 months the United States has experienced this devastating eventuality, as no president in this nation’s history has been as susceptible to domestic and international blackmail as Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr.
Nonetheless, in their unbridled hubris, the Democrats' puppet masters turned to Joe Biden whom they could portray as a “moderate” in order to defeat Donald Trump.
While Trump was in office this same cabal vociferously proclaimed that “A president openly susceptible to blackmail cannot serve.” In a stunning example of hypocrisy, they chose the most susceptible president in American history. However, they failed to understand that the Communist Chinese and Marxist penchant for using political blackmail to achieve their objectives would determine the fate of the country during his presidency.
The hubris of the American ruling class and venality on the part of Joe Biden has placed the United States in the position of being humiliated and extorted by the Chinese Communists, who have bribed his son, family and ultimately him. Once Biden became president, the Chinese expected reciprocity with the unspoken reality of their exposing the depth of his duplicitous and potentially treasonous activity hanging over his head.
At the beginning of the Biden presidency in a March 2021 summit meeting, Chinese diplomats, in an unimaginable breech of diplomatic protocol, publicly lectured and deliberately humiliated the Biden Administration. Biden’s response was to claim the meeting went well and the Chinese delegation really didn’t mean what they said. He essentially telegraphed to Beijing that he understood they owned him.
China shamelessly continues their 3-year refusal to explain why and how their virology lab in Wuhan was the epicenter of the Covid-19 virus. They know that Biden and his administration will not seriously press them on the issue or hold them responsible for the pandemic.
China unapologetically and defiantly flew a surveillance balloon across the country to spy on key military bases knowing full well there would be no repercussions. Not only were there no repercussions, Biden, in defending the Chinese, unabashedly lied to the American people about what they were doing.
Mexico, France, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, all once solid American allies are openly criticizing and moving away from the United States as they and a growing list of countries are cozying up to China recognizing not only China’s growing global influence but that Xi Jinping, not Joe Biden, effectively dictates United States foreign policy.
China, in alliance with Russia, India, and multiple African and South American countries, is determined to eliminate the U.S. Dollar as the global reserve currency. A potentially devastating blow to the American people and the U.S. economy effectively relegating the country to second-tier global status. Biden has given China the green light by dutifully choosing to ignore China’s tactics and the long-term consequences to America.
Meanwhile, China is dramatically expanding its influence in Africa, South America and the South Pacific region as well as taking over the dominant role the United States has maintained for decades in the always volatile Middle East. Thus, China is effectively isolating and surrounding the United States while, not unsurprisingly, Biden is not pushing back or developing any counterstrategy.
Tellingly, Xi Jinping smugly watches Biden grovel before him, ignores his requests for talks and meetings and not so subtly reminds Biden that he has the dirt on him and will expose it if necessary.
The devastating and dangerous state of America’s foreign policy, the unabashed obeisance to China, the undermining of the U.S. Dollar, and the exponentially increasing belligerence by China raises the question: to what degree has Biden’s acquiescence to being blackmailed precipitated these actions? The answer: virtually all of it.
In July of 2020 Biden signed on to a Unity Platform with Bernie Sanders. By doing so he committed to not deviate from it and that he would agree to any and all further demands out of fear of having the American Marxist-controlled legacy and social media expose him and thus force him out of office. Among the commitments made and kept in the unity platform:
- The repeal, by executive order, of all of Trump’s border policies including the stoppage of the wall construction, the elimination of the “Remain in Mexico” policy, and a moratorium of deportations. In essence an open and uncontrolled border allows untold millions to pour in illegally.
- The elimination of fossil fuels by 2030. Using executive orders: to stop the construction of new pipelines, to curtail leases on public lands, to force financial institutions to stop investing in fossil fuel companies and to promote limitless government investment in so-called “renewable energy” and impractical electric vehicles.
- Unlimited spending on new and existing social programs which included housing, infrastructure, welfare, as well as the left-wing’s wish list of funding for left-wing non-government organizations and unions, the undermining and future elimination of charter schools and private school vouchers, and higher taxes on businesses and the nebulously defined wealthy.
Once these commitments were made and Biden elected, the left’s radical cultural agenda was presented to Biden as a fait accompli. As he did with keeping his commitments in the Unity Platform, Biden has dutifully promoted the censorship of speech, unlimited abortion rights, gun control and the entirety of the LGBTQIA+ agenda including the unconscionable mutilation of naïve and impressionable adolescents.
Biden has signed legislation demanded by the radical left resulting in over $5+ Trillion dollars in new spending, thus greatly exacerbating inflation and accelerating the demise of the American economy. At the behest of the American Marxists, Biden has nominated unqualified radical left-wing judges to the federal judiciary and appointed incompetent buffoons to his cabinet.
Biden will continue to promote the American Marxists’ agenda and acquiesce to Communist China’s global ambitions regardless of the devastating long-term damage to the country as continuing to occupy the Oval Office is far more important to him. Biden knows that if he toes the party line domestically and kowtows to China, that the truth about his and his family’s duplicitous and treasonous behavior will continue to be suppressed and investigations muted.
By allowing Biden to remain in office the American ruling class is effectively greenlighting the American Marxists’ determination to transform America as well as China’s march to global hegemony resulting in the demise of the United States as the preeminent global power.
Americans need never wonder again what would happen with a chief executive egregiously susceptible and willingly acquiescent to political blackmail. Biden has done virtually everything he has been told to do and in the process created societal turmoil, stagflation, systemic uncertainty and global chaos.
The ruling class is solely responsible for Biden unleashing the American Marxists on the country and abetting the Communist Chinese in their determination to achieve global hegemony. Consequently, they must force Biden to resign now before the chaos is irreversible and openly admit their culpability.

Alleged Chinese Agents Arrested for ‘Operating a Police Station in the Middle of New York City’
The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), along with law enforcement officials from other federal agencies and the state of New York, announced the arrest of two individuals accused of establishing and operating an illegal Chinese regime police station in New York City.
Dozens of others, mostly Chinese nationals currently believed to be in China, are also facing charges of engaging in “transnational repression” against anti-communist dissidents based in the United States, stemming from accusations that the charged established an online army of fake social media accounts to harass and threaten the dissidents.
The arrests are the first in America since the revelation in September by the NGO Safeguard Defenders that China has established dozens of illegal police stations around the world in America, Canada, Japan, Brazil, and Spain, among other locations. The police stations were reportedly used to intimidate and silence dissidents or threaten Chinese nationals considered to dissent from Communist Party orthodoxy to return to China and face the brutal repressive apparatus there.
China is a totalitarian communist state currently engaging in genocide against the ethnic Turkic people of East Turkistan. Beijing has also been extensively documented to be engaging in ethnic cleansing activities against Tibetans and Mongolians. In addition to persecuting individuals who do not conform to the dominant Han ethnic group, people of faith face extreme violence and oppression in the country. The Communist Party regularly bulldozes churches, disappears imams, and kills Falun Gong practitioners to sell their organs.
The DOJ charges unveiled add to the growing body of evidence that China is attempting to export its human rights violations around the world. U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of New York Breon Peace accused China’s Ministry of Public Security (MPS), which runs the Communist Party’s law enforcement operations, of “repeatedly and flagrantly violat[ing] our nation’s sovereignty by opening and operating a police station in the middle of New York City” during a press conference on Monday.
The authorities addressing the public on Monday identified the two men in custody as “Harry” Lu Jianwang and Chen Jinping of the Bronx and Manhattan, respectively. The men are facing charges of allegedly having established the illegal police station and used it in an attempt to terrorize critics of the Communist Party in America. The official charges against them are conspiring to act as agents of the Chinese government, a charge that carries a maximum of five years in prison, and obstruction of justice for allegedly deleting mobile phone conversations with an unnamed Chinese government official. The latter charge could result in up to 20 years in prison.
The police station that Lu and Chen reportedly opened was part of the Fuzhou branch of the Chinese MPS, the branch exposed as running these clandestine foreign operations in the Safeguard Defenders report. In a press release, the DOJ clarified that, despite being an alleged illegal “police station,” the operation the men were running did not appear to target any genuine criminals, only anti-communist dissidents.
“The PRC [People’s Republic of China], through its repressive security apparatus, established a secret physical presence in New York City to monitor and intimidate dissidents and those critical of its government,” Assistant Attorney General Matthew G. Olsen of the Justice Department’s National Security Division said. “The PRC’s actions go far beyond the bounds of acceptable nation-state conduct. We will resolutely defend the freedoms of all those living in our country from the threat of authoritarian repression.”

Lu, in particular, is accused of attempting to coerce a Chinese national to return to China, despite a reasonable fear of repression, through “treats of violence” to the person and their family. Lu also reportedly helped locate “an individual living in California who is a pro-democracy activist.”
“This prosecution reveals the Chinese government’s flagrant violation of our nation’s sovereignty by establishing a secret police station in the middle of New York City,” Peace, the U.S. attorney, said in the press release. “As alleged, the defendants and their co-conspirators were tasked with doing the PRC’s bidding, including helping locate a Chinese dissident living in the United States, and obstructed our investigation by deleting their communications. Such a police station has no place here in New York City – or any American community.”
In a separate series of law enforcement actions, the DOJ announced charges against 40 people identified as Chinese national police officers for engaging in social media campaigns to “harass PRC dissidents” and intimidate an unnamed American “telecommunications company” into barring dissidents from holding meetings to discuss human rights topics online.
“The complaint alleges how members of the Group created thousands of fake online personas on social media sites, including Twitter, to target Chinese dissidents through online harassment and threats,” the DOJ detailed.
“As alleged, the PRC government deploys its national police… as a troll farm that attacks persons in our country for exercising free speech in a manner that the PRC government finds disagreeable, and also spreads propaganda whose sole purpose is to sow divisions within the United States,” Peace explained.
In addition to the use of “troll farms,” the alleged Chinese officers attacked an attempted videoconference to commemorate the Tiananmen Square Massacre by flooding the chat function on the site with violent threats. In another attempt to host a group virtual discussion on human rights abuses by the Chinese government, the accused allegedly “flooded the videoconference and drowned out the meeting with loud music and vulgar screams and threats directed at the pro-democracy participants.”
One of the individuals charged, identified as Julien Jin, allegedly served as a “primary liaison” between the unnamed American telecommunications company and the Chinese Communist Party. “In that capacity, he regularly responded to requests from the PRC government to terminate meetings and block users on Company-1’s video communications platform,” the DOJ claimed.

While keeping the company’s identity a secret, the DOJ did note that the “troll farms” cultivated online appeared on, among other sites, Twitter, a social media network that China bans its citizens from using. The report did not indicate that those operations involved any infiltration into Twitter as a company, only the mass creation of fraudulent “puppet” accounts.
New York appears to have been targeted for the creation of an illegal “police station” and other illicit activities due to both the presence of a Chinese consulate there and a large population of dissidents. New York is home to a significant Cantonese-speaking population from Hong Kong, home to a massive protest movement the Communist Party crushed during the coronavirus pandemic, and to sizable communities of Tibetans. In recent years, the Chinese government has infiltrated local government to host propaganda shows denying the ethnic cleansing of occupied Tibet, much to the outrage of local Tibetans, and is suspected of having created fake Tibetan organizations to promote Chinese government causes.
Following the publication of the Safeguard Defenders report in September, the Chinese government admitted to growing police activity abroad but blamed the coronavirus pandemic for their existence – and claimed the government activity in question was bureaucratic.
“Due to [coronavirus], a large number of overseas Chinese nationals have been unable to return to China in time for services such as renewing their driving license. As a solution to these difficulties, relevant sub-national authorities have opened up an online licensing platform,” Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin claimed in October.

'Joe Biden is a criminal': Obama-era staffer blows whistle on Biden's business deals
Rep. Comer: 'We've Identified 6 New Biden Family Members Involved in Shady Foreign Transactions'
(CNSNews.com) - The House Oversight Committee's investigation into alleged Biden family influence peddling and personal enrichment is steam-rolling along, with a total of nine Biden family members now identified as being involved.
Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) told Fox Business on Monday the committee has "learned a lot that was new" after examining Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) at the U.S. Treasury Department:
"The committee went there today," Comer told Larry Kudlow on Monday afternoon.
"But I've had staff there over the past two weeks. There are thousands of pages of documents relating to financial transactions.
"And let me be very clear, this isn't just about the president's son or the president's brother. We've identified six new Biden family members involved in shady foreign transactions, that we believe were a direct result of influence-peddling.
"That brings the number of Biden family members now to nine that were involved in the Biden family influence-peddling, and we still have more family members that we suspect were involved.
"So this is a family affair. This is something that should be troubling to every American, and what we've learned from going through these records, are, there are a lot of additional LLCs, a lot of additional bank accounts we didn't know prior to going to the Treasury Cabinet. So we've learned a lot.
"This investigation is ongoing but I can tell you, without hesitation, it's very serious. And the president of the United States is going to have a very hard time explaining how so many of his family members have received so much money from our adversaries around the world."
Comer stopped short of saying that the money was passed to Joe Biden:
"Well, we'll have to stay tuned on that. Obviously this is an investigation of the president of the United States," Comer said.
"We've talked to several of the former Biden associates. And we've got bank records. We're going to get more bank records. So I think that question will be answered in due time."
The nine Biden family members mentioned by Comer have not all been identified. But the three Bidens known to have received money from Hunter's business dealings are Hunter; Hallie Biden, Beau Biden's widow (and Hunter Biden's ex-girlfriend), and Hunter's uncle, James Biden.
Comer said on Monday he's subpoenaed six banks, and "I already have those bank records in hand."
He said the committee is now looking at additional banks, "because we’ve learned of new accounts and new LLCs we didn't know existed...
“The one thing that stands out to me is how many different LLCs were involved that this family had their fingerprints on, and we really can't tell what those LLCs did other than launder deposits from our adversaries around the world back to the Bidens."
Comer repeated what he's said before, that "we're going to go where the evidence leads us."
"There will get to a point very soon where the mainstream media as well as (Attorney General) Merrick Garland cannot continue to turn a blind eye to this. This is -- it's strange. It's illegal.
“There's no laws that allow family members to profit from -- from a high-ranking government official, to the tune of what this family has done.
"So I think the American people deserve the truth. We're going to get to the truth. We've already gotten more information than I think critics ever thought we would get. And this information leads to more information we'll continue to request.
"There will be more subpoenas. I think in due time, the American people will get the answers they deserve.”
Prostitution rings?
Comer is not the only one to express surprise at what the committee is learning:
Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.), an Oversight Committee member, posted a video to Twitter on Monday, in which she discussed her review of Suspicious Activity Reports at the Treasury Department earlier in the day:
"And I have to tell you, there are more Bidens involved than we knew previously,” Mace said:
“And every time you overturn or look under a stone, there's so much more you have to investigate, because it's wild the number of family members involved.
"And it's even the amount of money we're talking about in theses Suspicious Activity Reports is astronomical.
“And the accusations therein, the source of the funding, where the money's going, the shell companies, prostitution rings, etc. -- it's insanity to me that's it's not been investigated in the way it should be."
Barack Obama was a bad president, but Biden is even worse, writes Christopher Roach at American Greatness.
Obama Bad; Biden Worse
Barack Obama was a bad president, but Biden is even worse, writes Christopher Roach at American Greatness.
Let's face it, as America's First Black President, Barack Obama had the opportunity of the ages to put racial animosity to bed, and start a new age of comity. But he didn't.
Optimism surrounded his election, and even many opponents were hopeful that his victory would demonstrate to both white and black Americans that extreme racial tensions were a thing of the past and no longer a consuming national problem…
But no.
[Obama] never hesitated to criticize white Americans in general… and race relations were noticeably worse at the end of his term than they were at the beginning of it.
Then there's Biden:
Unimaginably, Joe Biden is a worse president than Barack Obama, a complete phony and a disaster in every way possible, as is the deep state that controls much of his agenda.
Why? Why didn't Obama make himself the Hope of the ages and Change racial animosity? Why has the "moderate" Biden supercharged the woke agenda from climate change to systemic racism?
My analysis comes down to two reasons.
First, in politics you must have an enemy. Otherwise, government has nothing to do.
Second, in politics you never admit you are wrong and you Made Things Worse. You always blame the enemy. See Reason One, above.
Let's apply Reason One to Obama and the race question. Why didn't Obama bury the hatchet? It's simple. Ever since Marx, our educated rulers have practiced an over/under political formula, where the ruling educated class rules as the Ally of the Oppressed in a war against the enemy oppressors. If the working class are no longer the oppressed du jour, then blacks must be defended against racists, women against sexists, gays against homophobes, and now transgenders against the mighty armies of J.K. Rowling. Otherwise, what's the point of politics for Barack?
Let's apply Reason Two to Biden and "worse." I say that just about everything that the educated ruling class has imposed upon the human race for the last century has Made Things Worse. Pay-as-you-go Pensions? The government's Social Security is going broke. Health care? Government has 
given it away for free to some people and made it insanely expensive for others. Welfare? Free government money has demolished the low-income family so that the men don't work much and the women don't marry much. Education? Education is now just about teachers getting paid to do nothing and contribute to Democratic campaigns. But free stuff!
Let's just assume that my analysis is right, that politics needs an enemy and that our modern government-centered pensions, healthcare and education have Made Things Worse. Would any woke progressive ever admit it? Not a bit of it. Transgenders are victims, period. If Social Security is in trouble it must be because of Evil Republicans that want to cut it. If health care is in trouble it must be because of greedy drug companies. If education is failing to educate black kids, it must be because of systemic racism.
And I don't mean that the progressives are being cynical and blaming Republicans. I mean that their saving faith tells them that they cannot be wrong and that their failures must all be the fault of the racist-sexist-homophobes on the far right.
Our modern educated ruling class can never be wrong. So they always find an enemy and blame them for the disaster issuing from the ruling-class policies.
Let's review the history of such disasters.
After the French Revolution with bread prices in the stratosphere the solution was to blame les aristos and guillotine them.
After the Bolshevik Revolution and failed Five Year Plans, the solution was to blame the kulaks for the lack of food, and "saboteurs and wreckers" for the failed industrial experiment, and then execute all the second-tier Soviet officials.
After the Maoist Revolution in 1949 Mao ran the Campaign to Suppress Counter-Revolutionaries in 1950, the Thought Reform Campaign against intellectuals and then the Loyalty and Honesty Campaign in 1951, the Anti-Rightist Campaign in 1957, then the failed Great Leap Forward and subsequent Great Chinese Famine, and finally the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution of 1966-76, which started with the purging of top university officials in China -- usually with students beating them to death. After defeating all his enemies, Mao finally went to his well-deserved rest in 1976.
Hey, you DEI administrators! Suppose that Next President Hunter Biden needs to blame someone for the utter failure of U.S. education and siccs all the woke trans kiddies on you, for a change? Think it couldn't happen? I'm sure that all the university presidents in China in 1965 thought the same thing.
Okay. So now we know why Obama was bad and Biden is worse.
Mirror, mirror, on the wall, who is the fairest of them all? No contest: it's Mao ZeDong.

Biden is the most amoral President in US history
The President pretends to be Catholic but clearly does not live by Catholic tenets. He supports abortion up until the moment of birth. This past week, he sent a cease-and-desist letter to the priests who have been ministering to Catholic patients at Walter Reed Hospital. He intends to contract outside persons to provide Catholic ministry. While VP, he supported the persecution of the Little Sisters of the Poor for refusing to provide abortion services to their employees. In short, he is about as Catholic and Christian as Nancy Pelosi, another faux Catholic, a classic elitist who has nothing but contempt for actual Catholics, actual Christians.
There are years of evidence, including from Biden’s own daughter’s diary, that Biden is a pedophile or at least has pedophilic tendencies. He cannot keep his hands off young female children; he fondles and sniffs them. Tara Reade’s account of his molestation of her years ago is credible. The man is pond scum.
Whenever he speaks of his deceased son Beau, who died of a brain tumor, he blames his death on the burn pits of Iraq where Beau served 2008 - 2009. That could be true. The military had long used burn pits to dispose of all manner of waste, much of it obviously toxic. How does one explain, then, his total and complete lack of interest in the train derailment that subjected the citizens of East Palestine, Ohio, to the consequences of a de facto burn pit? He did not visit. He barely mentioned it. He did not send the hapless Buttigieg or his EPA head, Michael Regan, until shamed into it. Neither of them acquitted themselves well. Both of them made it clear they did not want to be there, nor did they have any sympathy for the victims who are very likely to suffer for decades as Beau Biden did.
Biden’s open border is a human catastrophe of horrific proportions. The day he was inaugurated, he opened our southern border to all comers, encouraging migrants from all over the world to sacrifice everything to make their way to the US. Thousands of them die on the journey. The women and children are raped and trafficked.
Meanwhile, the cartels have become richer than Bill Gates. The cartels control both sides of the border with Biden’s acquiescence. Thousands of migrants are being bussed or flown into cities throughout America every day. It's a massive operation to alter the demographics of the US. It’s part of the globalist plan.
The sadly mentally incapacitated Biden is a tool of the worst people on the planet: the Communist Party of China and the Machiavellian scoundrels of the WEF. He has led us into WWIII; it has begun, which must be clear to every American paying attention. Biden’s weakness has reverberated throughout the world. His thwarting of our energy independence, his absurd implementation of all the covid restrictions that submarined the US economy and his vaccine mandates that have killed thousands will be his legacy.
This President’s obsession with LGBT issues, especially the transgenderism of children, proves his evil intent beyond all other issues. Neither he nor Kamala Harris could be bothered to visit or even speak to the grief of the families of the victims of the Nashville murder of six people, three of them children. Instead, they used the tragic event to boost support for transgendered persons, all of whom suffer from mental illness in one form or another. Numerous school shootings have been committed by trans kids who suffer from gender dysphoria and almost always on drugs, legal and/or illegal. Both Harris and the White House spoke of their pride and support of the “trans community” and the “Tennessee Three,” who mounted a nearly violent insurrection in their State House to ignominiously screech for gun control, as if taking guns away from good people would prevent such mass attacks. They nearly always occur in gun-free zones. These idiotic activists know this and do not care. They seem to be determined that only criminals have guns, as they most assuredly will if in a gun-free zone.
Joe Biden has been corrupt for all his years in Congress. What is so maddening is that everyone in Congress, in the DC world of politics, have always known this. They’ve all known he was rather dim, a racist (Strom Thurmond was his mentor), a plagiarist, and a consummate and compulsive liar. The list of his oft repeated, provable lies is too long to list but he was at it again while in Ireland this week; he has never “traveled 17k miles with Xi.” Clearly he can’t help himself; he has a serious pathological problem.
Biden is a dim bulb and the people who engineered his installation as president surely knew that. Whoever his handlers are, they committed many serious crimes, many breaches of the Constitution, to rig the election, secure in the knowledge that “they,” whoever they are, would be running the show. They surely knew that Biden is a schlump, an empty suit, a man without a moral core; a man they could manipulate and manipulate him they certainly have.
There is more than enough proof that Biden is indebted to China; his family has been fabulously enriched by the CCP’s purchase of his servility. He is indebted to Ukraine as well but is repaying their generosity by using the Ukrainian people as cannon fodder in his misguided proxy war against Putin.
Biden will go down in history as the most corrupt, the most nationally and globally disastrous and the dumbest President in American history. If we are to prevail as a constitutional republic, the American people better wake-up and fight for everything they cherish – family, freedom and basic human and civil rights – or it will be gone in the blink of an eye. It began with Obama and that crowd is determined to carry out their plan to transform America. They’ve been remarkably successful to the detriment of us all.

Hunter Biden’s bank records are a ‘sad day in history’
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, 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. JB SHURK
The FBI has ignored President Joe Biden’s role in the family’s foreign influence-peddling “conspiracy” in Ukraine, according to former Obama White House stenographer Mike McCormick.
BIDEN'S SEC OF TRESURY PROTECTS THE BIDEN CRIME FAMILY AND HEIR DIRTY MONEY BANK TRANSFERS
Over the years, U.S. banks have flagged over 150 SARs from Hunter and James Biden that included “large” amounts of money flagged for further review. SARs “often contain evidence of potential criminal activities, such as money laundering and fraud,” according to a 2020 Senate report.
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.

I’d be inclined to disagree with Don except for one thing: Biden has proven to be a very adept criminal mastermind. For decades, he has funneled millions of dollars to his children and siblings and, especially, to his debauched, deviant son, Hunter. ANDREA WIDBURG
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
The fact that Hunter's market value was derived from his father's position seemed to be a source of resentment for the younger Biden, even as he continued to cash in on the name. Hunter complained in texts to his daughter that he had financially supported the Biden clan for three decades and that "pop" takes a cut of "half [my] salary." Financia records and correspondence reported on by Devine indicate that money from Hunter's business accounts was used to cover Joe's AT&T bill and home maintenance expenses and that a portion of at least one major China deal was earmarked for the elder Biden. ALANA GOODMAN
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
