Biden Kicks Off His 2024 Campaign by Doing What He Does Best
Lying.
Old Joe Biden broke with custom by not holding a big festive rally to announce that he was running to pretend to be president for four more years; instead, his handlers put out a canned video in the dead of night. That was such an odd move that the whispers started immediately: Is Biden still alive? Is he so far gone now that he can’t even appear in public? So on Tuesday, the regime trotted out Old Joe to make his first public appearance since announcing that he wants to continue afflicting America until he is 86 years old. And he started off his 2024 campaign by doing what he does best: lying.
Biden addressed the North America’s Building Trades Unions Legislative Conference, and in the course of his lengthy socialist ramble, he went into his Lunchbucket Joe routine. This involves Biden retailing stories that are designed to make his audience think that this craven and mendacious corruptocrat is just an ordinary guy, one of us, lovable and trustworthy. Average Joe declared: “My grandpop, who I never met — he died in the same hospital I was born in two weeks before I was born.”
Old Joe didn’t say whether he was referring to his maternal or paternal grandfather, but either way, what he said wasn’t true. His paternal grandfather, Joseph H. Biden, died on Sept. 26, 1941, at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore. Old Joe’s maternal grandfather, A. J. Finnegan, died on May 27, 1957, at St. Mary’s Hospital in Scranton, Penn. The alleged president wasn’t born within two weeks of the deaths of either of them. He was born on Nov. 20, 1942. He was born in St. Mary’s Hospital in Scranton, where Finnegan shuffled off this mortal coil, but when Grandpop A. J. died, Young Joe was fourteen years old.
The New York Post observes laconically that “the White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment or clarification on the misstatement.” Of course, they didn’t. What could they possibly say? “Yeah, Old Joe is a serial liar who likes to make up stories about his past so as to manipulate people in the present”? “Old Joe’s dementia has gotten so bad, he can’t distinguish fact from fiction anymore”? “Old Joe will say anything, literally anything, to win the sympathy and support of an audience”? There are no good choices.
What’s more, it’s hard to figure out where this particular lie was coming from and what Biden intended to accomplish by telling it. He said it in the course of claiming that switching over to green energy will be good for the economy and create jobs. This involved Old Joe telling a story about how his grandfather “worked for the American Oil Company. And his job was to open up new gas stations around the country back in the late — of the ‘20s and ‘30s.”
Joseph H. Biden did indeed work for the American Oil Company, but the bit about him dying two weeks before the putative president was born added nothing to the story and wasn’t part of the point he was making. It was just a small, homely detail designed to humanize this cynical and dishonest career kleptocrat and add a sense of veracity to the story. That makes it all the more ironic that it was a lie.
Biden likes to lie about his family. On the campaign trail in 2019, he told a story about a Navy captain who tried to refuse a Silver Star after trying and failing to save a wounded comrade. The story wasn’t true, as even the Washington Post admitted, but it was such a good story that instead of discarding it after it was publicly revealed to be false, Old Joe tweaked it a bit and brought it into his family. In December 2022, Biden retold the same story, but this time it was about his uncle Frank being awarded a Purple Heart. It wasn’t true in that form, either.
All politicians lie, but Old Joe Biden is unusual in so rarely doing anything but lying. He is such an accomplished and relentless liar that if politicians were given a prize for lying elaborately and often, it would be called the Joe Biden Award. In this, he is the perfect frontman for the regime that bears his name, even if he isn’t actually the one making the decisions, because the Biden regime as a whole is as cynical and dishonest as Joe is. A regime bent on forcing us all to acknowledge that men can become women and vice versa (among myriad other lies) is just what one would expect once this serial liar became president.

Biden CIA Director Met Jeffrey Epstein After Sex Crime Revelations
Spy chief 'did not know anything' about Epstein allegations, spokeswoman says
President Joe Biden's CIA director William Burns met multiple times with Jeffrey Epstein, years after the late financier was publicly accused of grooming underage girls for sex.
Burns met Epstein in Washington, D.C., and at Epstein's New York City townhouse in 2014, when the spymaster served as deputy secretary of state, according to the Wall Street Journal. A CIA spokeswoman said Burns met with Epstein for "general advice" on the financial services industry and for career advice on his transition out of government.
Epstein’s sordid past was widely known at the time of those interactions. He registered as a sex offender in 2008 after pleading guilty to attempting to trafficking underage girls. Epstein was publicly accused in 2006 of molesting girls as young as 14. He was indicted on federal charges in 2019 with trafficking multiple underage girls for sex at his homes in New York and Florida. He killed himself in jail while awaiting trial.
Burns is certain to face scrutiny in Washington over his ties to Epstein, as well as his failure to disclose the relationship. Links to Epstein have proved a liability for government officials and business leaders in the past. In 2021, Senate Democrats delayed a vote for Eric Lander, Biden's first director of the Office of Science and Technology Policy, because of his affiliation with Epstein years earlier at Harvard.
According to CIA spokeswoman Tammy Kupperman Thorp, Burns was introduced to Epstein through a mutual friend and met with him regarding the financial services sector and his transition out of government service. The spy chief did not look into Epstein's background before arranging to meet, the spokeswoman said.
"The director did not know anything about him, other than that he was introduced as an expert in the financial services sector and offered general advice on transition to the private sector," Kupperman Thorp said. "They had no relationship."
According to the Journal, Epstein met dozens of times with Kathryn Ruemmler, who served in the Obama White House and is now the general counsel for Goldman Sachs. Epstein in 2015 and 2016 also arranged meetings with activist Noam Chomsky, then a professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, to discuss politics and academic research.
The disclosures add to a growing list of business leaders, Beltway insiders, and celebrities who embraced Epstein even after his criminal sex convictions became widely known. Microsoft founder Bill Gates visited Epstein's home numerous times and took frequent trips on Epstein's jet. Democratic donor Reid Hoffman organized a dinner with Epstein in 2015. He apologized in 2019 for hosting the event, which he said had helped Epstein rehabilitate his public image.

Bill and Hill - and the Evil that Men Do
If you asked one hundred people what they think about when they hear the name Bill Clinton, a goodly number will say womanizer, cheater – a few will use the dreadful word rapist. And that number will increase. Time and neurology are working against the Clintons.
Most memory training programs are simply a matter of learning how to associate memories with emotionally charged ideas. This is because the brain is designed to remember where the dangers and the goodies lie and to forget the dry statistics. The brain is more inclined to remember Jennifer Flowers than the unemployment rate in 1996. This effect has tainted the collective memory of many presidents, for example, disclosures about the mistresses of Franklin Delano Roosevelt and John Kennedy. This effect will increase for Bill Clinton both because of the outrageous nature of his conduct and the way it has and will be reported.
People tend to cut quite a bit of slack for the weaknesses of the flesh because there’s a lot of that going around. But Hillary will gain no benefit from that latitude. Everyone knows she stood by her man, blamed his women, and perhaps was a psychological co-rapist for the sake of her political ambitions. Before the next president is elected, Hillary will not only have an albatross around her neck, she will be covered with names like Wellstone, Broaddrick, Moffet, Ward Gracen, Brown, Dowdy, Jones, Ferguson, Zercher, Willey, and more. A majority of those one hundred people will remember the evil the Clintons did, and their legacy will be lost in the folds of tattered dresses and bleeding lips.
Lives -- after them, the good is oft interred with their bones. So let it be with the Clintons.

Report: Jeffrey Epstein’s Private Calendar Names CIA Director as Contact
Documents reportedly indicate the number of individuals connected to Jeffrey Epstein after he became a convicted sex offender is bigger than previously known, but the reason for the meetings remains unclear.
The Wall Street Journal set out in an article published Sunday:
William Burns, director of the Central Intelligence Agency since 2021, had three meetings scheduled with Epstein in 2014, when he was deputy secretary of state, the documents show. They first met in Washington and then Mr. Burns visited Epstein’s townhouse in Manhattan.
Kathryn Ruemmler, a White House counsel under President Barack Obama, had dozens of meetings with Epstein in the years after her White House service and before she became a top lawyer at Goldman Sachs Group Inc. in 2020. He also planned for her to join a 2015 trip to Paris and a 2017 visit to Epstein’s private island in the Caribbean.
In August 2019, Epstein was found dead in his Manhattan jail cell after he reportedly hung himself. He had been charged the month prior regarding sex-trafficking charges, Breitbart News noted at the time.
“The news of his suicide comes weeks after authorities found the disgraced billionaire semi-conscious in his jail cell. At the time, Epstein was in a fetal position with marks around his neck, signifying a failed suicide attempt,” the outlet said.
Per the Journal report, President of Bard College Leon Botstein asked Epstein to visit the campus and Epstein reportedly brought several young women with him.
In addition, well-known professor and political activist Noam Chomsky in 2015 was supposed to fly with Epstein to his Manhattan townhouse for dinner.
The outlet noted that none of their names appeared in Epstein’s now public contact list:
Most of those people told the Journal they visited Epstein for reasons related to his wealth and connections. Several said they thought he had served his time and had rehabilitated himself. Mr. Botstein said he was trying to get Epstein to donate to his school. Mr. Chomsky said he and Epstein discussed political and academic topics.
Burns, who was President Joe Biden’s (D) nominee to run the CIA, has reportedly in the past cooperated with groups tied to the Communist Chinese Party (CCP), according to a Breitbart News article from 2021.

Meanwhile, visitor logs reportedly show Epstein visited then-Bill Clinton’s White House approximately 17 times, and their first meeting there took place a month after Clinton’s inauguration in 1993.
“The fresh revelation comes as Clinton’s ties to Epstein are once again under the microscope thanks to the trial of British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell, who faces charges accusing her of recruiting teenage girls for Epstein,” according to a Breitbart News article published in 2021.
WHORE CHASER DONALD TRUMP AND PEDOPHILE JEFFREY EPSTEIN
WHAT ARE FEDS UNDER SOCIOPATH LAWYER WILLIAM BAR DOING TO PROTECT THE WHORE CHASER?
FROM HIS BOOK DISLOYAL…'In some ways, I knew Trump better than even his family did because I bore witness to the real man, in strip clubs, shady business meetings, and in the unguarded moments when he revealed who he really was: a cheat, a liar, a fraud, a bully, a racist, a predator, a con man,' he revealed. 'I stiffed contractors on his behalf, ripped off his business partners, lied to his wife Melania to hide his sexual infidelities, and bullied and screamed at anyone who threatened Trump's path to power,' Michael Cohen admitted.
Federal prosecutors request halt to “Jane Doe” civil lawsuit against Ghislaine Maxwell and Epstein estate
11 September 2020
In an extraordinary development, the US Justice Department is arguing alongside attorneys for Ghislaine Maxwell, the deceased sex offender Jeffrey Epstein’s collaborator and confidante, that a civil lawsuit filed by a former child sex abuse victim must be halted.
In a letter submitted to a judge in New York’s Southern District Court in Manhattan, federal prosecutors requested this week that the civil lawsuit filed by “Jane Doe” last January against Maxwell and the estate of the Jeffrey Epstein be immediately stayed.

Sweeney Jr., Assistant Director-in-Charge of the New York Office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, right, during a news conference to announce charges against Ghislaine Maxwell for her alleged role in the sexual exploitation and abuse of multiple minor girls by Jeffrey Epstein, Thursday, July 2, 2020, in New York.

The US attorneys prosecuting the criminal case against Maxwell—in which the Epstein “social coordinator” has been charged with six offenses involving sex trafficking of underage girls and for which she sits in a New York City jail awaiting trial—wrote that there is a “significant risk” that proceeding with the civil case “would adversely affect the ongoing criminal prosecution against Maxwell.”
The New York prosecutors, led by acting US Attorney for the Southern District of New York Audrey Strauss, argued that a “factual overlap between the civil and criminal cases” could result in disclosure of evidence and testimony from witnesses who may be called upon in both cases. The prosecutors also wrote, “Such witnesses may be forced to testify about any efforts to assist the criminal investigation and prosecution and may thereby expose facts about the investigation ... and could potentially expose witnesses and/or their families to harassment.”
The US attorney’s letter adds, “Moreover, permitting any discovery to proceed in this [civil] lawsuit would enable Maxwell to seek a preview of trial testimony in the criminal case, and would afford her with a broader array of discovery than she is entitled to in the criminal case.”
The civil lawsuit was filed on January 16 of this year by attorneys representing “Jane Doe” against Maxwell and two executors of Epstein’s estate, Darren K. Indyke and Richard D. Kahn. Epstein left behind an estate worth an estimated $577 million after he was found dead in his jail cell under suspicious circumstances five weeks after his arrest on July 6, 2019 on multiple sex-trafficking charges.
The unnamed victim states in the lawsuit that she was abused and sexually exploited beginning in 1994, after she “met Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell at Interlochen Arts Camp in Michigan when she was only 13-years-old.” When Jane Doe returned home to Florida, following a similar pattern described by other accusers, Epstein and Maxwell “over the course of the next several months” proceeded to “groom and mentor the 13-year-old” for sexual abuse by Epstein.
The Jane Doe lawsuit also says that Epstein “took her to Mar-a-Lago where he introduced her to its owner, Donald J. Trump.” Epstein introduced Doe, just 14 years old at the time, and “elbowed Trump playfully asking him, referring to her, ‘This is a good one, right?’ Trump smiled and nodded in agreement.”
Attorneys for Maxwell have persistently argued against the release of court documents from previous cases against her, including the text of her deposition in the defamation lawsuit filed by Epstein victim Virginia Roberts Giuffre in 2015. While this case was settled out of court by Maxwell for an undisclosed amount in 2017, a batch of documents from it were unsealed in late July that elaborate on the extensive sex-trafficking operation run by Epstein, including the participation of various rich and famous people, power brokers, politicians and royal figures such as Prince Andrew of England.
Similarly, Maxwell’s lawyers have been arguing that the Jane Doe civil lawsuit should be stayed by the New York District Court on the grounds that it is superfluous given the criminal prosecution and that Doe can present her claims to an Epstein estate fund set aside to compensate his victims.
Maxwell’s lawyer, Laura Menninger, submitted her own letter on the civil lawsuit last week, writing, “Absent a stay, Ms. Maxwell will be forced to choose between her constitutional right to remain silent and her active and vigorous participation in defending against and refuting [Doe’s] false claims in this case.” Menninger furthermore states of Jane Doe, “If it is money she seeks, she can pursue it in the claims program. If it is ‘justice’ she seeks, the criminal case will resolve those issues one way or the other.”
The strange coincidence of the legal position of Maxwell and that of US prosecutors in the criminal case is revealing in that both are seeking to limit the amount of information that is released to the public about the depraved abuse of primarily working-class teenage girls from West Palm Beach by Epstein and his elite friends.
As Jane Doe’s attorneys have argued, a stay of their case against Maxwell and the Epstein estate would deprive the victim as well as the public the opportunity to learn the truth about what was going on for nearly three decades at the wealthy socialite’s residences in New York City, Palm Beach, Florida, New Mexico, his private island in the Caribbean and aboard his “Lolita Express” private jetliner.
Robert Glassman of Panish Shea & Boyle LLP, representing Jane Doe, wrote in a letter to the court that his client “is best served by pressing forward with her claims—not waiting even longer for justice.” Jane Doe is among the only remaining publicly declared Epstein victims who has refused to submit her allegations to the estate compensation fund in exchange for remaining silent.
As Glassman further explains: “The continuation of this last remaining civil avenue can furnish the public with critical information as to defendant Maxwell’s well-known criminal enterprise, how it was operated and all those involved. A stay of the civil proceedings would provide what defendant Maxwell has sought for years—concealing her heinous acts from public view.”
The question remains as to the real reasons behind the federal prosecutors agreeing with Maxwell’s lawyers about halting the civil court case. Who are the “witnesses and/or their families” who could be potentially exposed to harassment if the Jane Doe lawsuit goes forward?
Meanwhile, it must be recalled that it was the intervention of then-US Attorney for the Southern District of Florida Alex Acosta—who intervened in the 2005 case against Epstein by the Palm Beach Police Department after a 13-month investigation that uncovered the abuse of 34 teenage girls—that resulted in a “non-prosecution agreement,” which prevented any of the victims from testifying in court.
It is certain that many elite and powerful individuals—some named, and others not yet named—who participated in Epstein’s trafficking of young girls for sex, are working behind the scenes to make sure that nothing more is released to the public about who they are and what they were doing.
While US Magistrate Judge Debra Freeman has yet to issue a ruling on the now joint request to stay the Jane Doe civil lawsuit, she did agree on August 26 to postpone the deposition of one of the defendants, co-executor of Epstein’s estate Darren Indyke. In a letter to the court at that time, attorney Glassman wrote that he has “reason to believe” that Indyke personally has “firsthand knowledge” of Epstein’s relationship with Doe while she was a minor and “even acted on Jeffrey Epstein’s behalf to communicate with [Doe] on several occasions.”

THE GRIFTERS:
HILLARY CLINTON AND HER SERIAL RAPIST HUSBAND
“The couple parlayed lives supposedly spent in “public service”
into admission into the upper stratosphere of American wealth, with incomes in the top 0.1 percent bracket. The source of this vast wealth was a political
machine that might well be dubbed “Clinton, Inc.” This consists essentially of
a seedy money-laundering operation to ensure big business support for the
Clintons’ political ambitions as well as their personal fortunes.
The basic components of the operation are lavishly paid speeches to Wall Street and Fortune 500 audiences, corporate campaign contributions, and donations to the ostensibly philanthropic Clinton Foundation.”
"But what the Clintons do is criminal because they do it wholly at the expense of the American people. And they feel thoroughly entitled to do it: gain power, use it to enrich themselves and their friends. They are amoral, immoral, and venal. Hillary has no core beliefs beyond power and money. That should be clear to every person on the planet by now." ---- Patricia McCarthy - AMERICANTHINKER.com
