FAMILY VALUES???
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
Biden was 25 in 1967, and was attending Syracuse University College of Law, from which he graduated 76th in a class of 85 in 1968. By 1967, when he supposedly talking to the Egyptian government on behalf of Golda Meir, he had already embarked upon his career of lying. A Syracuse College of Law faculty report on December 1, 1965 stated that Biden “used five pages from a published law review article without quotation or attribution,” and recommended that he fail a legal methods course because of his plagiarism.
Levin charged the Democrats with unbridled hypocrisy, accusing Biden of racism.
“This effort to try and turn conservatism into the KKK, into neo-Nazi ism is really amazing, especially considering the history of the Democrat Party and its embrace of the KKK and slavery and segregation and Jim Crow. Despite its history of filibustering the 1964 Civil Rights Act and the 1965 Voting Rights Act, despite its current president, Joe Biden being a racist and segregationist early in his career opposing public school integration, calling it a jungle,” he said.
Where there’s smoke, look for fire. Biden came from humble means, never worked in the private sector, but somehow became wildly wealthy. Several of Biden’s family members essentially work in the family business of apparent influence peddling. Does Biden’s frequent refrain, “I never spoke with my son about his overseas business deals” come to mind? It makes one wonder if “never” really means “never!”. Biden has nine relatives receiving millions in foreign cash. What were they talking about when Vice President Biden and his cronies met 80 times at the White House? Veracity is everything when you solicit the public’s trust, and Biden’s persona is wrapped around his supposed trustworthiness. However, the facts here point to a person who uses hyperbole, manipulation, and outright lying to sway public opinion. ALLAN J FEIFER
Biden Salutes His ‘Family Values’ and Names Wilmington Home as 2024 Campaign Headquarters
President Joe Biden announced Tuesday he will make the headquarters of his 2024 campaign at his longtime private residence of Wilmington, Delaware, because it is steeped in his “family values.”
“My family’s values, my eternal optimism and my unwavering belief in the American middle class as our nation’s backbone comes from my home — from Delaware,” Biden said in a statement, Politico reports.
“That’s why there is no better place for our reelection campaign to have its headquarters,” Biden further boasted as he unselfconsciously claimed to be so proud of his family and all they represent.
The headquarters will mark a departure from Biden’s choice of Philadelphia for his 2020 campaign headquarters but because of the pandemic, the now president helmed a significant portion of that run from Wilmington as well, the article points out.
As Breitbart News reported, not everyone reportedly agrees with Biden’s location demands when they were first flagged earlier this year.
FLASHBACK: Biden is ‘Bugged’ During Climate Change Remarks from His Wilmington, Delaware, Private Residence
Joe Biden / YouTubeReports suggested some advisers believe Biden’s Wilmington home “would make recruitment harder, with younger campaign aides not eager to spend a year in a sleepy, small town.”
Other advisers reportedly wanted the headquarters in Philadelphia, where his 2020 campaign was initially based before coronavirus restrictions took hold.
Marjorie Taylor Greene Drops Bombshell Evidence Against Hunter Biden - Photos Of Human Trafficing
Watch: MTG Shows Stills from Hunter Biden’s Alleged Porn at Congressional Hearing
The Justice Department brought no charges against Hunter Biden for illicit sexual activity, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) pointed out with graphic images during congressional testimony of IRS agents.
Hunter Biden agreed in June to plead guilty to two federal tax violation charges and one violation of gun laws, despite evidence presented by Greene that Hunter Biden allegedly violated the Mann Act. The law criminalizes the transportation of “any woman or girl for the purpose of prostitution or debauchery, or for any other immoral purpose.”
“During your testimony with the House Ways and Means Committee, you stated that through bank records, you identified Hunter Biden was paying prostitutes related to a potential prostitution ring. Is that correct?” Greene asked IRS Agent Joseph Ziegler, who testified before Congress.
“Yes, that’s correct,” he said.
Joseph Ziegler identified himself Wednesday as a 13-year award-winning veteran of the agency, who alleges President Joe Biden’s Justice Department (DOJ) politically interfered in the criminal probe of Hunter Biden.

“You stated that the prosecutorial team was investigating violations of the Mann Act. Is that correct? Mr. Ziegler?” Greene asked.
“That is correct,” Ziegler replied.
“Regarding the Mann Act, if a person is transported across state lines for sexual activity, such as prostitution, that could be a violation of a federal law. Is that correct?” Greene asked.
“I actually recently looked at the federal law regarding Mann Act, and I believe that that is correct, but I would refer you to the DOJ manual,” Ziegler stated.
Greene then held up a series of images before Ziegler of illicit and lewd activity by Hunter Biden with women and questioned the witness if Hunter Biden committed crimes:
“I would like to present this to the committee,” she said. “This [image] is showing Hunter Biden paid for a victim’s United Airlines flight from LA to Dulles. I believe this is a violation of the Mann Act,” she said.
“And I would like to point out that if he was purchasing her a plane ticket for sex and traveling across state lines, do you believe that to be a violation of the Mann Act, Mr. Ziegler?” Greene asked.
“I can talk to specifically what’s in my transcript regarding the Mann Act,” he said before conferring with his lawyer.
“Regarding Mann Act violations, what we can do is — given by the statute — we can turn those over to House Ways and Means Committee, and then they can decide to vote to turn them over to you,” he said.
Greene then held up a different image of Hunter Biden conducting sexual acts with a person Greene said was a paralegal.
“Can you confirm, for me, that Hunter Biden had written off payments to prostitutes through his law firm?” she asked. “This is not really what most paralegals do for law firms.”
“I appreciate the question — given by the statute I am limited in my testimony today, and I respectfully would need to turn those records over to the House Ways and Means Committee,” he replied.

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.

“The watchdogs at Judicial Watch discovered documents that reveal how the Obama administration's close coordination with the Mexican government entices Mexicans to hop over the fence and on to the American dole.” Washington Times
"This is country belongs to Mexico" is said by the Mexican Militant. This is a common teaching that the U.S. is really AZTLAN, belonging to Mexicans, which is taught to Mexican kids in Arizona and California through a LA Raza educational program funded by American Tax Payers via President Obama, when he gave LA RAZA $800,000.00 in March of 2009!
The “zero tolerance” program was dismantled by Attorney General Erc Holder once it had successfully cut the transit of migrants by roughly 95 percent. Initially, officials made 140,000 arrests per year in the mid-2000s, but the northward flow dropped so much that officials only had to make 6,000 arrests in 2013, according to a 2014 letter by two pro-migration Senators, Sen. Jeff Flake and John McCain.

It is Biden, Obama, and other leftists who continually seek to divide the country, not Trump
By Jack Hellner
The Washington Post a few days ago highlighted a just-published book by its former columnist Thomas Edsall, now at the New York Times. The book’s publisher, Princeton University Press, writes:
Thomas Byrne Edsall fears that the country may be headed over a cliff, arguing that the election of Donald Trump was the most serious threat to the American political system since the Civil War. In this compelling and illuminating book, Edsall documents how the Trump years ravaged the nation’s politics, culture, and social order.
This analysis is a crock. Democrats have been seeking to divide the country by race, sex and class for decades. They have sought to destroy anyone who got their way. It started way before Trump.
Is American politics past the point of no return? In this compelling book, New York Times columnist and political reporter Thomas Byrne Edsall documents how the Trump years ravaged the nation’s politics, culture, and social order.
Obama lied continuously to get Obamacare passed, not Trump. People who were against Obama’s policies on healthcare and other things were frequently called racists. “See! Right-wing intolerance, hatred and racism fuel this movement.”
Obama dictatorially ignored immigration laws when he implemented DACA, not Trump
Obama and Biden support lawless sanctuary cities and states, not Trump
Obama used the IRS to target political opponents, not Trump. He sought to silence people who disagreed on policies before elections.
Biden compared tea party members who wanted smaller government as domestic terrorists. Democrats frequently use this tactic whether it is people who want to make America great again, people who protest elections, or parents.
Obama and Biden have used the Justice Department to spy on and target political opponents, not Trump.
Obama and Biden support soft on crime DA's, not Trump
Obama and Biden dictatorially use the EPA to destroy energy companies, not Trump
Biden is destroying women and girls right by making them share space and compete with biological men, not Trump
Biden appointed a woman to the Supreme Court who can't even define what a woman is, yet we are supposed to trust her to interpret laws.
Biden supports allowing kids to be castrated, or have their breasts removed without their parents’ knowledge, not Trump.
Biden ordered Catholic priests to stop showing up at Walter Reed Hospital, not Trump
The ESG movement is meant to divide and destroy companies that don't adhere to leftist policies.
Biden and Obama support abortion on demand and withholding health care from newborn babies in botched abortions, not Trump
Biden and Obama oppose school choice for poor kids, not Trump.
Biden's justice Department targeted parents and Catholics, not Trump.
A probe of the National School Boards Association’s call for federal investigations of parents as domestic terrorists found the White House was involved in the drafting process that led to the controversial request.
Obama and Biden had slush funds at EPA, Justice Department and CFPB where they shook down companies and gave kickbacks to leftist groups, not Trump.
Biden's justice Department doesn't care about groups that targeted cities or crisis pregnancy centers or illegally protested in front of Supreme court justices’ houses, not Trump's
The CDC, under Biden, coordinated with teachers’ unions to keep schools closed, which has caused massive permanent harm to children and families.
The American Federation of Teachers lobbied the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on, and even suggested language for, the federal agency’s school-reopening guidance released in February.
The media is a major participant in the destruction of American culture and politics.
They participated in spreading the lies about Russian collusion and calling Trump an illegitimate president for years to divide and conquer the public.
They still participate in covering up for the Biden family corruption, which is massive.
The media repeated all the misinformation from Fauci and the CDC while silencing those who disagreed. People who didn’t take the vaccine were fired and were said to want people to die.
The media never called Democrats who have challenged elections “election deniers,” but calls any Republicans who challenged an election “deniers” to disparage them in the eyes of the public.
The media and other Democrats always play the race card to intentionally divide the country.
The examples are endless:
The “hands up, don't shoot” narrative was a blatant lie to gin up racial hate and division against white cops. How many police have been injured and killed because of this intentional lie?
The media targeted white Christian boys for the crime of wearing MAGA hats. The media and other Democrats don't care who they destroy as they quest for power.
Democrats used the filibuster over 300 times to stop Trump's policies and appointments. But then:
Democrats working to dismantle the filibuster as a major impediment to their legislative agenda say the procedural maneuver is a threat to civil rights.
Trump was falsely blamed for a photo showing kids in cages to gin up racial hate towards him. The pictures were from the Obama, Biden years.
Biden and others continually lie about what Trump said at Charlottesville. Trump repeatedly denounced white supremacists and Nazi's but that wouldn’t divide the public so they lie.
We keep hearing that Trump is an authoritarian, which is absolute BS. Trump tried to give the money and power to the people. Obama and Biden tried to amass power for themselves and the government.
Trump’s policies were lifting all boats. Minorities and the poor were seeing real wages rise substantially. The poverty rate hit a record low in December 2019 under Trump, not under the Great Society and anti-poverty programs that keep people poor and dependent on the government.
Think how much better Trump could have done if the media and other Democrats weren’t seeking to destroy him every day.
Obama and Biden refuse to enforce immigration laws Congress passed and dictatorially implemented DACA.
Now Biden, without Congressional approval, has approved billions in health insurance benefits for illegals.
Biden wants to buy young people’s votes, so he is dictatorially trying to cancel student debt.
Biden and his EPA are dictatorially forcing people to buy expensive electric vehicles powered by flammable pollutants.
Biden is forcing schools to allow boys to compete with girls and forcing girls to share facilities with people with penises.
Conclusion: The media and other Democrats will seek to destroy whichever Republican is chosen as the presidential candidate, just as they have in the past. It doesn't matter if they are black, white, orange or if they are a woman. They are the party of personal destruction. Just watch what they do to Nikki Haley, Tim Scott, and Clarence Thomas.

The Democrat Left Welcomes Anti-Semites, Cop Haters, and Terrorist Supporters
I reported previously how the left wing of the Democrat Party, including Joe Biden, Barack Obama, and Kamala Harris, came out in support of a disruptive display by three anti-Second Amendment lawmakers in the Tennessee Legislature. The Democrat Left's support for what it calls freedom of expression does not however extend to swimmer Riley Gaines, who was shouted down, terrorized, and allegedly assaulted at San Francisco State University for saying that men like Lia Thomas should not be allowed to compete against women or use the women's locker room. The President of SFSU refused to condemn these credibly alleged violent crimes on her campus.
The Democrat Left and Black Lives Matter
I also reported that, after a hiatus that may have been due (my inference, not a statement of fact) to questions about Black Lives Matter Global Network's use of 501(c)(3) tax exempt money to campaign against Donald Trump in 2020, ActBlue Charities has apparently renewed its relationship with BLM. The Democrat National Committee's website also linked to the BLM movement in 2020, and these sites linked in turn to extremist sites that called for boycotts against and even the destruction of Israel. This puts the Democrat party squarely into the camp that condones or even, in some cases, incites behavior that has no place in a civilized nation like the United States.
1. BLM Glorifies a Jew-Killing Terrorist. Here is BLM Chicago honoring Rasmea Odeh and also supporting the so-called Palestinian right of return, whose agenda is to overwhelm and destroy Israel demographically. The national BLM organization, as represented by Patrisse Cullors, called not only for the destruction of Israel but also for support for Odeh. Odeh was convicted of murdering two Jews with a bomb and trying to murder emergency responders, but the Israelis disarmed the second bomb in time.
1. Note how, in contrast to thugs at San Francisco State University being permitted to shout down, threaten, and allegedly assault swimmer Riley Gaines, Israel's supporters and Republicans did not invade BLM Chicago's event to shout down, much less assault, a convicted murderess who is no better than church shooter Dylann Roof, supermarket shooter Payton Gendron, and Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh.
2. BLM Glorifies Cop-Killing Terrorists. BLM thanked Fidel Castro, whom BLM says should "rest in power," for giving refuge to Joanne Chesimard, whom BLM calls "Mama Assata Shakur." BLM has also referred to fugitive Charles Hill as "brother." Chesimard was convicted of executing a New Jersey State Trooper and Hill (allegedly until proven guilty) murdered a New Mexico law enforcement professional, menaced a flight attendant with a weapon, and hijacked an airplane to Cuba. BLM has also referred to Hill's alleged accomplices as "brothers."
1. Ann Dorn, the widow of murdered police captain David Dorn whose Black life obviously did not matter to the BLM thug who killed him, said of this movement. "If a foreign organization were tied to nationwide rioting in the U.S., we’d probably call it a terrorist organization." In addition, "A coalition of left-wing racial justice groups that includes the Black Lives Matter national organization has launched an initiative calling for the abolition of the U.S. prison system and the release of all prisoners, including multiple convicted cop killers."
2. If an organization (and even the Ku Klux Klan has yet to step over this line as far as I know) talked about "brothers" Dylann Roof and Payton Gendron, it would be obvious that that organization agrees that people should be murdered for praying or shopping while Black. When BLM supports Rasmea Odeh, calls Joanne Chesimard "Mama Assata," refers to Charles Hill and his alleged accomplices as "brothers," and demands the release of convicted cop killers, we can opine reasonably that BLM condones similarly the murder of Jews and law enforcement professionals—and the Democrat party as represented by ActBlue Charities has renewed its support of BLM.
3. BLM Glorifies Fidel Castro. Did I mention that BLM said Fidel Castro should rest in power, and also that Barack Obama offered condolences for Castro's death? Here is what BLM is praising and on what Obama is morally ambivalent: "Over six decades, millions of Cubans were forced to flee their own country, and those accused of opposing the regime were routinely jailed and even killed. …And one thing is clear, history will not absolve Fidel Castro; it will remember him as an evil, murderous dictator who inflicted misery and suffering on his own people." This, American voters, is what Black Lives Matter supports—and the Democrat Left supports Black Lives Matter.
4. BLM Meets the Definition of an Anti-Semitic Hate Group. Disagreement with the government of Israel, which the Israelis themselves do as shown very recently, is not anti-Semitic. The International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA), and even the left-leaning Anti-Defamation League (ADL), however, both define denial of the right of Israel to exist (or, in IHRA's case, denial of the right of the Jewish people to self-determination) as anti-Semitic. BLM, as represented by Patrisse Cullors, rather than some rank and file loose cannon, called for the dismantling of Israel. ADL has also defined the BDS movement as anti-Semitic and BLM supports BDS.
1. The Zachor Legal Institute has meanwhile alleged BLM ties with "domestic terror affiliates" of foreign terrorist organizations and the Zionist Organization of America has more information on BLM's anti-Semitic activities.
5. BLM Encourages Looting. Here's a BLM organizer (again, not some rank and file loose cannon) who depicts looting as "reparations." Then BLM cries "racism" when those who act on this incitement, including Caucasian "allies," get life-ruining felony records or even get shot when theft escalates to robbery, as it can easily do if the looters threaten the property owners with violence, as Michael Brown did prior to his fatal encounter with a police officer.
Who Supports Black Lives Matter?
Now let's look at who supports this organization, which supports in turn cop killers, Jew killers, vandals, rioters, looters, and a dictator who murdered countless Cubans.
· Joe Biden's team met with BLM's leaders in 2021, when this behavior by BLM was well known. Even though BLM was not happy with the outcome, Biden's representatives should not have associated with them.
· Kamala Harris praised the "brilliance" of Black Lives Matter.
· Cornell's expensive Law School, as represented by then-Dean Eduardo Peñalver, went on record as supporting BLM under color of "racial justice." Cornell's President and Trustees have yet to take corrective action for this use of a Cornell web page to disparage a member of its faculty and put the school into the camp of something that meets the ADL and IHRA definitions of an anti-Semitic hate group. State University of New York Buffalo's Law School in-state tuition is roughly a third of Cornell's and you'll probably learn more law, rather than leftist ideology, there as well.
· Hardin-Simmons University, as represented by President Eric Bruntmyer, also lined up with BLM.
· Solid Blue New York City renamed a street for Black Lives Matter.
Democrat Left-infested unions like the Seattle Education Association and PSC-CUNY have joined the anti-Semitic boycott, divestment, and sanctions (BDS) movement so it is clear that Jews are not welcome in these unions. Nor do law enforcement professionals, Cuban-Americans, or property owners of all races who don't want their cars, homes, and stores wrecked in BLM loot-a-thons have a home in today's Democrat party. Use your head and vote Red in 2024.
Civis Americanus is the pen name of a contributor who remembers the lessons of history, and wants to ensure that our country never needs to learn those lessons again the hard way. He or she is remaining anonymous due to the likely prospect of being subjected to "cancel culture" for exposing the Big Lie behind Black Lives Matter.

Okay. So now we know why Obama was bad and Biden is worse.

Instead of covering 690,000 younger illegals now enrolled in former President Barack Obama’s 2012 “DACA” amnesty, the Dream Act would legalize at least 3.3 million illegals, according to a pro-immigration group, the Migration Policy Institute.”

“The watchdogs at Judicial Watch discovered documents that reveal how the Obama administration's close coordination with the Mexican government entices Mexicans to hop over the fence and on to the American dole.” Washington Times
"This is country belongs to Mexico" is said by the Mexican Militant. This is a common teaching that the U.S. is really AZTLAN, belonging to Mexicans, which is taught to Mexican kids in Arizona and California through a LA Raza educational program funded by American Tax Payers via President Obama, when he gave LA RAZA $800,000.00 in March of 2009!
The “zero tolerance” program was dismantled by Attorney General Erc Holder once it had successfully cut the transit of migrants by roughly 95 percent. Initially, officials made 140,000 arrests per year in the mid-2000s, but the northward flow dropped so much that officials only had to make 6,000 arrests in 2013, according to a 2014 letter by two pro-migration Senators, Sen. Jeff Flake and John McCain.

It is Biden, Obama, and other leftists who continually seek to divide the country, not Trump
By Jack Hellner
The Washington Post a few days ago highlighted a just-published book by its former columnist Thomas Edsall, now at the New York Times. The book’s publisher, Princeton University Press, writes:
Thomas Byrne Edsall fears that the country may be headed over a cliff, arguing that the election of Donald Trump was the most serious threat to the American political system since the Civil War. In this compelling and illuminating book, Edsall documents how the Trump years ravaged the nation’s politics, culture, and social order.
This analysis is a crock. Democrats have been seeking to divide the country by race, sex and class for decades. They have sought to destroy anyone who got their way. It started way before Trump.
Is American politics past the point of no return? In this compelling book, New York Times columnist and political reporter Thomas Byrne Edsall documents how the Trump years ravaged the nation’s politics, culture, and social order.
Obama lied continuously to get Obamacare passed, not Trump. People who were against Obama’s policies on healthcare and other things were frequently called racists. “See! Right-wing intolerance, hatred and racism fuel this movement.”
Obama dictatorially ignored immigration laws when he implemented DACA, not Trump
Obama and Biden support lawless sanctuary cities and states, not Trump
Obama used the IRS to target political opponents, not Trump. He sought to silence people who disagreed on policies before elections.
Biden compared tea party members who wanted smaller government as domestic terrorists. Democrats frequently use this tactic whether it is people who want to make America great again, people who protest elections, or parents.
Obama and Biden have used the Justice Department to spy on and target political opponents, not Trump.
Obama and Biden support soft on crime DA's, not Trump
Obama and Biden dictatorially use the EPA to destroy energy companies, not Trump
Biden is destroying women and girls right by making them share space and compete with biological men, not Trump
Biden appointed a woman to the Supreme Court who can't even define what a woman is, yet we are supposed to trust her to interpret laws.
Biden supports allowing kids to be castrated, or have their breasts removed without their parents’ knowledge, not Trump.
Biden ordered Catholic priests to stop showing up at Walter Reed Hospital, not Trump
The ESG movement is meant to divide and destroy companies that don't adhere to leftist policies.
Biden and Obama support abortion on demand and withholding health care from newborn babies in botched abortions, not Trump
Biden and Obama oppose school choice for poor kids, not Trump.
Biden's justice Department targeted parents and Catholics, not Trump.
A probe of the National School Boards Association’s call for federal investigations of parents as domestic terrorists found the White House was involved in the drafting process that led to the controversial request.
Obama and Biden had slush funds at EPA, Justice Department and CFPB where they shook down companies and gave kickbacks to leftist groups, not Trump.
Biden's justice Department doesn't care about groups that targeted cities or crisis pregnancy centers or illegally protested in front of Supreme court justices’ houses, not Trump's
The CDC, under Biden, coordinated with teachers’ unions to keep schools closed, which has caused massive permanent harm to children and families.
The American Federation of Teachers lobbied the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on, and even suggested language for, the federal agency’s school-reopening guidance released in February.
The media is a major participant in the destruction of American culture and politics.
They participated in spreading the lies about Russian collusion and calling Trump an illegitimate president for years to divide and conquer the public.
They still participate in covering up for the Biden family corruption, which is massive.
The media repeated all the misinformation from Fauci and the CDC while silencing those who disagreed. People who didn’t take the vaccine were fired and were said to want people to die.
The media never called Democrats who have challenged elections “election deniers,” but calls any Republicans who challenged an election “deniers” to disparage them in the eyes of the public.
The media and other Democrats always play the race card to intentionally divide the country.
The examples are endless:
The “hands up, don't shoot” narrative was a blatant lie to gin up racial hate and division against white cops. How many police have been injured and killed because of this intentional lie?
The media targeted white Christian boys for the crime of wearing MAGA hats. The media and other Democrats don't care who they destroy as they quest for power.
Democrats used the filibuster over 300 times to stop Trump's policies and appointments. But then:
Democrats working to dismantle the filibuster as a major impediment to their legislative agenda say the procedural maneuver is a threat to civil rights.
Trump was falsely blamed for a photo showing kids in cages to gin up racial hate towards him. The pictures were from the Obama, Biden years.
Biden and others continually lie about what Trump said at Charlottesville. Trump repeatedly denounced white supremacists and Nazi's but that wouldn’t divide the public so they lie.
We keep hearing that Trump is an authoritarian, which is absolute BS. Trump tried to give the money and power to the people. Obama and Biden tried to amass power for themselves and the government.
Trump’s policies were lifting all boats. Minorities and the poor were seeing real wages rise substantially. The poverty rate hit a record low in December 2019 under Trump, not under the Great Society and anti-poverty programs that keep people poor and dependent on the government.
Think how much better Trump could have done if the media and other Democrats weren’t seeking to destroy him every day.
Obama and Biden refuse to enforce immigration laws Congress passed and dictatorially implemented DACA.
Now Biden, without Congressional approval, has approved billions in health insurance benefits for illegals.
Biden wants to buy young people’s votes, so he is dictatorially trying to cancel student debt.
Biden and his EPA are dictatorially forcing people to buy expensive electric vehicles powered by flammable pollutants.
Biden is forcing schools to allow boys to compete with girls and forcing girls to share facilities with people with penises.
Conclusion: The media and other Democrats will seek to destroy whichever Republican is chosen as the presidential candidate, just as they have in the past. It doesn't matter if they are black, white, orange or if they are a woman. They are the party of personal destruction. Just watch what they do to Nikki Haley, Tim Scott, and Clarence Thomas.

The Democrat Left Welcomes Anti-Semites, Cop Haters, and Terrorist Supporters
I reported previously how the left wing of the Democrat Party, including Joe Biden, Barack Obama, and Kamala Harris, came out in support of a disruptive display by three anti-Second Amendment lawmakers in the Tennessee Legislature. The Democrat Left's support for what it calls freedom of expression does not however extend to swimmer Riley Gaines, who was shouted down, terrorized, and allegedly assaulted at San Francisco State University for saying that men like Lia Thomas should not be allowed to compete against women or use the women's locker room. The President of SFSU refused to condemn these credibly alleged violent crimes on her campus.
The Democrat Left and Black Lives Matter
I also reported that, after a hiatus that may have been due (my inference, not a statement of fact) to questions about Black Lives Matter Global Network's use of 501(c)(3) tax exempt money to campaign against Donald Trump in 2020, ActBlue Charities has apparently renewed its relationship with BLM. The Democrat National Committee's website also linked to the BLM movement in 2020, and these sites linked in turn to extremist sites that called for boycotts against and even the destruction of Israel. This puts the Democrat party squarely into the camp that condones or even, in some cases, incites behavior that has no place in a civilized nation like the United States.
1. BLM Glorifies a Jew-Killing Terrorist. Here is BLM Chicago honoring Rasmea Odeh and also supporting the so-called Palestinian right of return, whose agenda is to overwhelm and destroy Israel demographically. The national BLM organization, as represented by Patrisse Cullors, called not only for the destruction of Israel but also for support for Odeh. Odeh was convicted of murdering two Jews with a bomb and trying to murder emergency responders, but the Israelis disarmed the second bomb in time.
1. Note how, in contrast to thugs at San Francisco State University being permitted to shout down, threaten, and allegedly assault swimmer Riley Gaines, Israel's supporters and Republicans did not invade BLM Chicago's event to shout down, much less assault, a convicted murderess who is no better than church shooter Dylann Roof, supermarket shooter Payton Gendron, and Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh.
2. BLM Glorifies Cop-Killing Terrorists. BLM thanked Fidel Castro, whom BLM says should "rest in power," for giving refuge to Joanne Chesimard, whom BLM calls "Mama Assata Shakur." BLM has also referred to fugitive Charles Hill as "brother." Chesimard was convicted of executing a New Jersey State Trooper and Hill (allegedly until proven guilty) murdered a New Mexico law enforcement professional, menaced a flight attendant with a weapon, and hijacked an airplane to Cuba. BLM has also referred to Hill's alleged accomplices as "brothers."
1. Ann Dorn, the widow of murdered police captain David Dorn whose Black life obviously did not matter to the BLM thug who killed him, said of this movement. "If a foreign organization were tied to nationwide rioting in the U.S., we’d probably call it a terrorist organization." In addition, "A coalition of left-wing racial justice groups that includes the Black Lives Matter national organization has launched an initiative calling for the abolition of the U.S. prison system and the release of all prisoners, including multiple convicted cop killers."
2. If an organization (and even the Ku Klux Klan has yet to step over this line as far as I know) talked about "brothers" Dylann Roof and Payton Gendron, it would be obvious that that organization agrees that people should be murdered for praying or shopping while Black. When BLM supports Rasmea Odeh, calls Joanne Chesimard "Mama Assata," refers to Charles Hill and his alleged accomplices as "brothers," and demands the release of convicted cop killers, we can opine reasonably that BLM condones similarly the murder of Jews and law enforcement professionals—and the Democrat party as represented by ActBlue Charities has renewed its support of BLM.
3. BLM Glorifies Fidel Castro. Did I mention that BLM said Fidel Castro should rest in power, and also that Barack Obama offered condolences for Castro's death? Here is what BLM is praising and on what Obama is morally ambivalent: "Over six decades, millions of Cubans were forced to flee their own country, and those accused of opposing the regime were routinely jailed and even killed. …And one thing is clear, history will not absolve Fidel Castro; it will remember him as an evil, murderous dictator who inflicted misery and suffering on his own people." This, American voters, is what Black Lives Matter supports—and the Democrat Left supports Black Lives Matter.
4. BLM Meets the Definition of an Anti-Semitic Hate Group. Disagreement with the government of Israel, which the Israelis themselves do as shown very recently, is not anti-Semitic. The International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA), and even the left-leaning Anti-Defamation League (ADL), however, both define denial of the right of Israel to exist (or, in IHRA's case, denial of the right of the Jewish people to self-determination) as anti-Semitic. BLM, as represented by Patrisse Cullors, rather than some rank and file loose cannon, called for the dismantling of Israel. ADL has also defined the BDS movement as anti-Semitic and BLM supports BDS.
1. The Zachor Legal Institute has meanwhile alleged BLM ties with "domestic terror affiliates" of foreign terrorist organizations and the Zionist Organization of America has more information on BLM's anti-Semitic activities.
5. BLM Encourages Looting. Here's a BLM organizer (again, not some rank and file loose cannon) who depicts looting as "reparations." Then BLM cries "racism" when those who act on this incitement, including Caucasian "allies," get life-ruining felony records or even get shot when theft escalates to robbery, as it can easily do if the looters threaten the property owners with violence, as Michael Brown did prior to his fatal encounter with a police officer.
Who Supports Black Lives Matter?
Now let's look at who supports this organization, which supports in turn cop killers, Jew killers, vandals, rioters, looters, and a dictator who murdered countless Cubans.
· Joe Biden's team met with BLM's leaders in 2021, when this behavior by BLM was well known. Even though BLM was not happy with the outcome, Biden's representatives should not have associated with them.
· Kamala Harris praised the "brilliance" of Black Lives Matter.
· Cornell's expensive Law School, as represented by then-Dean Eduardo Peñalver, went on record as supporting BLM under color of "racial justice." Cornell's President and Trustees have yet to take corrective action for this use of a Cornell web page to disparage a member of its faculty and put the school into the camp of something that meets the ADL and IHRA definitions of an anti-Semitic hate group. State University of New York Buffalo's Law School in-state tuition is roughly a third of Cornell's and you'll probably learn more law, rather than leftist ideology, there as well.
· Hardin-Simmons University, as represented by President Eric Bruntmyer, also lined up with BLM.
· Solid Blue New York City renamed a street for Black Lives Matter.
Democrat Left-infested unions like the Seattle Education Association and PSC-CUNY have joined the anti-Semitic boycott, divestment, and sanctions (BDS) movement so it is clear that Jews are not welcome in these unions. Nor do law enforcement professionals, Cuban-Americans, or property owners of all races who don't want their cars, homes, and stores wrecked in BLM loot-a-thons have a home in today's Democrat party. Use your head and vote Red in 2024.
Civis Americanus is the pen name of a contributor who remembers the lessons of history, and wants to ensure that our country never needs to learn those lessons again the hard way. He or she is remaining anonymous due to the likely prospect of being subjected to "cancel culture" for exposing the Big Lie behind Black Lives Matter.
Crime Killed a Quarter of a Million Black People.
And the racist pro-crime Left wants more.
April 14, 2023 by Daniel Greenfield 20 Comments

Over the last decade, BLM, and assorted leftist and libertarian groups dismantled our criminal justice system. Police forces were defunded, pro-crime prosecutors refused to lock up criminals, federal and state prison systems released tens of thousands of them, and a wave of legislative decriminalization legalized everything from shoplifting, to drug dealing and mugging.
The pro-crime policymaking that eliminated public safety and cost over 3,000 lives in 2020 alone was done under the guise of fighting racism. Statistics which showed that black people were more likely to be arrested, imprisoned or shot during criminal encounters with police were used to spread conspiracy theories falsely accusing the criminal justice system of systemic racism.
What all of these racist conspiracy theories popularized by politicians, the media, and the entertainment industry ignored was that black people were also far more likely to be crime victims. Even as the BLM riots got underway, black people in surveys were strongly opposed to police defunding. The opposition was so vehement that Democrats not only abandoned the issue, but claimed that they had always been opposed to it and ran against their own position.
Despite years of false claims portraying black people as victims of a biased criminal justice system whose police forces are descended from “slave catchers” who repress minorities at the behest of white suburbanites, surveys of black people continue to tell a very different story.
A Pew survey found that while only 33% of white Democrats wanted to reduce crime, 63% of Hispanics and 66% of black people thought that fighting crime should be a priority.
And that’s nothing new.
Leftists and libertarians lied that the War on Drugs was racist when it was actually pushed by black groups, including the NAACP, which demanded the death penalty for drug dealers.
That same Pew survey showed that while only 38% of white Dems answered that reducing the availability of illegal drugs should be a priority, 57% of Hispanics and 60% of black people believed that it should be.
Now a Kaiser Family Foundation survey shows that black people are far more likely to suffer from crime than white people. The survey, meant to generate support for unconstitutional gun ban measures, instead unintentionally demonstrated that crime hurts black people more.
The KFF survey noted that “three in ten black adults (31%) have personally witnessed someone being shot”, “one-third of black adults (34%) have a family member who was killed by a gun” and (32%) say that they worry all the time about themselves or a family member being shot.
One in six of black adults say they don’t feel “safe at all” from gun violence in their neighborhood, compared to 2% of white adults. 1 in 4 also bought a gun to protect themselves.
Gun violence is just another way of saying crime.
Black people are disproportionately affected by crime. Pro-crime policies led to the deaths of an additional 2,244 black people in 2020. According to a Johns Hopkins report, “in 2020, one out of every 1,000 young black males (15–34) was shot and killed” and, “more than half of all black teens (15–19) who died in 2020—a staggering 52%—were killed by gun violence.”
CDC numbers showed that homicide is a leading cause of death among black men under the age of 20, and from the ages of 20 to 44. White men are killed by guns at the rate of 3.15 per 100,000 while black men die at the rate of 48.16 per 100,000. Pro-crime policies increase crime and kill thousands of black people. That’s what a real disproportionate impact looks like.
Every time pro-crime politicians free criminals, pro-crime prosecutors refuse to prosecute violent offenders, and legislatures eliminate bail, the impact is felt most strongly in the black community.
Law enforcement isn’t racist, but getting rid of it is. When a community depends more on a particular service, losing it has a clear disproportionate impact. Keeping the peace, arresting offenders and dispensing justice is one of the few primal duties of government. The breach in the social contract when the government fails to provide peacekeeping services is devastating.
Most crimes are committed by repeat offenders. The only way to interrupt the cycle of violence is to lock them up. Successful tough on crime policies in the 90s made cities safe once again and led to an economic boom in inner cities. Manhattan’s Harlem went from a danger zone to hosting Bill Clinton’s office, but in 2022, crime increased 44%. The Clinton offices have mostly moved down to the Wall Street area, but where they remain in Central Harlem, crime is up 32%. Next door in West Harlem, it’s up 133%. That means Bill is less likely to tour the Apollo Theater, but it also means that the mostly black residents are the ones feeling the worst of it.
Pro-crime activists have spent years regaling us with the suffering of convicts while caring very little about the shattered lives they have left in their wake. Foundations, protest groups, activist organizations and even PACs have spent hundreds of millions lobbying for criminals, fighting for their release and remaking our system to favor perpetrators, not victims. Their political success has come with a very high cost. And much of that burden has fallen on black people.
It is hard to think of any single policy in the last generation that has done more harm to black people or claimed more lives than the pro-crime agenda. Pro-crime activists have falsely claimed that police shootings of black men are a form of genocide. They’re not. Crime is.
One study counted 286,075 firearm deaths among black people from 1990 to 2021. That’s over a quarter of a million deaths. Some of them are due to suicide, but suicides are much lower among black people than white people, and the majority of black gun deaths were homicides.
And seeing a quarter of a million deaths, the pro-crime Left wants even more bodies.
Those quarter of a million deaths have been largely self-inflicted, but, much as with the welfare state, they were aided and abetted by white liberal policymakers who had come to believe that what the black community really needed was for the government to enable its criminals.
Racist liberal condescension continues to destroy black communities, families and lives.
2020 demonstrated that tough on crime policies can save thousands of black lives and, over time, perhaps even hundreds of thousands of black lives. Pro-crime policies are a racist disaster which reduced black people to criminals and then set out to free criminals to help black people.
That’s why 1 out of every 1,000 young black men are dead.
Pro-crime policies are racist. They enable a crime epidemic that has killed more black people than the total number of battlefield casualties for all races in the Civil War. More black people died in the year of Black Lives Matter than our entire death toll in the Iraq War.
Can it get worse than this? In 1991, 12,226 black people were murdered. For the first time, more black people were killed than white people. The numbers are trending that way once again. While the Left claims that highways and dress codes are systemically racist, their pro-crime policies are a racist program that promises liberation but offers only mass death.

Every year in America, some 500 whites are murdered by black assailants, more than twice as many as blacks killed by whites. The media need to report all of these cases fairly and without bias so as to counter the false reporting and misplaced emphasis in the national press. All victims, of whatever race, deserve justice because all human life is precious. The reporting of violence should not be based on race — it should be proportionate to the crime, without regard to the race of the perpetrator or the victim. Jeffrey Folks
In Defense of Hunter Biden
By Alexander G. Markovsky
Notwithstanding Hunter Biden's moral deficiencies in other matters, based on what has been publicized so far, legally, he may have done nothing wrong being part of his father's Ukrainian enterprise. Joe Biden’s shenanigans and his son’s role in it need to be understood in the context of Ukraine's corrupt political culture.
Corruption is deeply embedded into the Ukrainian DNA. It is the blood of the Ukrainian economy - the stimulus for government officials and employees to perform their duties. Corruption is a fundamental necessity, a precondition for functioning governance.
Never-ending redistribution and re-division of assets is a defining characteristic of the Ukrainian business environment. People in business are constantly threatened by corporate raiders that attack businesses with guns, forged ownership documents, or new laws and regulations. To protect themselves from these realities, businesses hire “roof.” In criminal jargon, it means protection. Various entities offer protection: organized crime, police, high-ranking government officials, etc. The necessity for a “roof” is built into the cost of doing business.
In 2002, during President Viktor Yanukovych's tenure, his ecology minister Mykola Zlochevsky registered Burisma Holding Limited in Cypress. Burisma secured lucrative government licenses for gas field exploration and production to become Ukraine's second-largest private gas company. And not by accident. De jure, the licenses for the exploration of natural resources are drafted as bilateral agreements between the government entities and private enterprises, but de facto, they are unilateral and revocable grants of privileges by a president and high-ranking government officials to their cronies and supporters. As long as President Yanukovych was in power, Mr. Zlochevsky’s assets were secured from a hostile takeover. President Yanukovych was his “roof” and benefactor.
But nothing is permanent in the wicked Ukrainian world.
In February 2014, Yanukovych was overthrown in an America-sponsored coup and fled the country. Zlochevsky followed him shortly after. In a dramatic reversal of fortunes, Burisma overnight changed from one of the strongest to one of the weakest. The recourse of the weakest was to find a new “roof” before the newly-elected Petro Poroshenko’s government was sworn in during June 2014.
It is unknown when and who approached Joe Biden or John Kerry, Secretary of State at the time, and what was offered in exchange for lobbying and political support. But on April 22, 2014, Devon Archer, a managing partner of Rosemont Seneca Partners, a $2.4 billion private equity firm co-owned by the stepson of John Kerry, Christopher Heinz, was put on Burisma’s board.
On May 13, 2014, Hunter Biden himself joined the board.
On the same day, Christopher Heinz rushed to distance himself and the firm from what looked like an unscrupulous endeavor. He sent emails to Matt Summers and David Wade, two of his stepfather’s top aides at the State Department, “I can’t speak why they decided to, but there was no investment by our firm in their company,” wrote Heinz. Whether Christopher Heinz intended to dissociate his firm from the activity or to create plausible deniability, the passage revealed that the State Department was aware of the arrangement and exposed Christopher Heinz’s concern regarding, if not the legality, the ethics of the undertaking.
For Burisma, the impact of having Hunter Biden and Devon Archer on its board could not be overstated. It had acquired an ultimate “roof” — the Vice President of the United States of America. We must not be naïve; Burisma did not hire good-for-nothing drug addict Hunter Biden for his expertizes or business acumen. It did not hire obscure Devon Archer for his administrative genius either — they were simply messengers. There was no other way to interpret the assignments of Hunter Biden and Devon Archer to the board of Burisma.
By their presence on the board the “roof” sent a subliminal message to Poroshenko, who made no secret of his desire to add Burisma to his basket of assets, that the United States government protects. Although Poroshenko got the message, he could not resist the temptation. As soon as he was sworn in, he directed his prosecutor-general, Vitally Yarema, to open a corruption investigation into Burisma.
Corruption investigations have been an effective instrument of force reallocating assets in Ukraine. It is important to point out that Yarema did not investigate Hunter Biden. There was simply nothing to investigate, Burisma was a private company and could appoint to its board anybody. Yarema was tasked to uncover or manufacture some dirt on Burisma and its owner Mykola Zlochevsky.
In January 2015, Yarema was replaced with Poroshenko’s close associate Viktor Shokin, who continued the investigation. Just like his predecessor, Viktor Shokin did not investigate Hunter Biden. Prosecutor Shokin was directed by President Poroshenko to build a corruption case to forfeit the profitable gas licenses awarded to Burisma.
By 2016, the investigation was at its pinnacle, and Burisma’s management panicked. They had been contacting the State Department requesting it to help end the investigation. In the spring of 2016, Joe Biden was forced to act. He stepped in to protect his son’s employer, Burisma Holdings, and demanded Poroshenko dismiss Shokin.
Poroshenko tried to stall it, but Biden issued an ultimatum, “You have six hours to solve the problem, or Ukraine would lose a billion dollars in US aid.” Poroshenko capitulated — Shokin was fired.
Biden bragged about his accomplishment: ‘You have no authority. You’re not the President —Poroshenko said’ … I said, 'Call him.' “I looked at them and said, ‘I’m leaving in six hours. If the prosecutor is not fired, you’re not getting the money.’ Well, son of a b----. He got fired. And they put in place someone who was solid at the time."
In the process, Biden inadvertently admitted that President Obama, if not involved, at least was aware of the shady business of his Vice President.
At this juncture, Poroshenko realized the futility of his efforts and decided that having a percentage of something is better than a hundred percent of nothing. He made a deal with Zlochevsky. Poroshenko’s trusted man Igor Kononenko joined Burisma’s board. The vanquished enemies became allies. Miraculously, there was no longer a need for investigation, and a new prosecutor Yuriy Lutsenko, “who was solid at the time,” closed the probe. There was no longer a need for Joe Biden’s services either. Hunter Biden and Devon Archer eventually resigned from Burisma's board. Zlochevsky returned to the country. The “roof” had earned its pay.
The payment must be worth millions of dollars. The sixty thousand dollars a month paid to Hunter Biden and Devon Archer was a drop in the bucket. The big money has gone to someone else. Lacking an understanding of the Ukrainian business environment, the Republicans have been targeting Hunter Biden, a tiny fish in multimillion dollar international protection rocket who may not even be fit for prosecution. Thus far, he has served as a distraction from investigating the senior-level perpetrator(s).

The recourse of the weakest was to find a new “roof” before the newly-elected Petro Poroshenko’s government was sworn in during June 2014.
It is unknown when and who approached Joe Biden or John Kerry, Secretary of State at the time, and what was offered in exchange for lobbying and political support. But on April 22, 2014, Devon Archer, a managing partner of Rosemont Seneca Partners, a $2.4 billion private equity firm co-owned by the stepson of John Kerry, Christopher Heinz, was put on Burisma’s board.
On May 13, 2014, Hunter Biden himself joined the board.
On the same day, Christopher Heinz rushed to distance himself and the firm from what looked like an unscrupulous endeavor. He sent emails to Matt Summers and David Wade, two of his stepfather’s top aides at the State Department, “I can’t speak why they decided to, but there was no investment by our firm in their company,” wrote Heinz. Whether Christopher Heinz intended to dissociate his firm from the activity or to create plausible deniability, the passage revealed that the State Department was aware of the arrangement and exposed Christopher Heinz’s concern regarding, if not the legality, the ethics of the undertaking.
For Burisma, the impact of having Hunter Biden and Devon Archer on its board could not be overstated. It had acquired an ultimate “roof” — the Vice President of the United States of America. We must not be naïve; Burisma did not hire good-for-nothing drug addict Hunter Biden for his expertizes or business acumen. It did not hire obscure Devon Archer for his administrative genius either — they were simply messengers. There was no other way to interpret the assignments of Hunter Biden and Devon Archer to the board of Burisma.
By their presence on the board the “roof” sent a subliminal message to Poroshenko, who made no secret of his desire to add Burisma to his basket of assets, that the United States government protects. Although Poroshenko got the message, he could not resist the temptation. As soon as he was sworn in, he directed his prosecutor-general, Vitally Yarema, to open a corruption investigation into Burisma.
Corruption investigations have been an effective instrument of force reallocating assets in Ukraine. It is important to point out that Yarema did not investigate Hunter Biden. There was simply nothing to investigate, Burisma was a private company and could appoint to its board anybody. Yarema was tasked to uncover or manufacture some dirt on Burisma and its owner Mykola Zlochevsky.
In January 2015, Yarema was replaced with Poroshenko’s close associate Viktor Shokin, who continued the investigation. Just like his predecessor, Viktor Shokin did not investigate Hunter Biden. Prosecutor Shokin was directed by President Poroshenko to build a corruption case to forfeit the profitable gas licenses awarded to Burisma.
By 2016, the investigation was at its pinnacle, and Burisma’s management panicked. They had been contacting the State Department requesting it to help end the investigation. In the spring of 2016, Joe Biden was forced to act. He stepped in to protect his son’s employer, Burisma Holdings, and demanded Poroshenko dismiss Shokin.
Poroshenko tried to stall it, but Biden issued an ultimatum, “You have six hours to solve the problem, or Ukraine would lose a billion dollars in US aid.” Poroshenko capitulated — Shokin was fired.
Biden bragged about his accomplishment: ‘You have no authority. You’re not the President —Poroshenko said’ … I said, 'Call him.' “I looked at them and said, ‘I’m leaving in six hours. If the prosecutor is not fired, you’re not getting the money.’ Well, son of a b----. He got fired. And they put in place someone who was solid at the time."
In the process, Biden inadvertently admitted that President Obama, if not involved, at least was aware of the shady business of his Vice President.
At this juncture, Poroshenko realized the futility of his efforts and decided that having a percentage of something is better than a hundred percent of nothing. He made a deal with Zlochevsky. Poroshenko’s trusted man Igor Kononenko joined Burisma’s board. The vanquished enemies became allies. Miraculously, there was no longer a need for investigation, and a new prosecutor Yuriy Lutsenko, “who was solid at the time,” closed the probe. There was no longer a need for Joe Biden’s services either. Hunter Biden and Devon Archer eventually resigned from Burisma's board. Zlochevsky returned to the country. The “roof” had earned its pay.
The payment must be worth millions of dollars. The sixty thousand dollars a month paid to Hunter Biden and Devon Archer was a drop in the bucket. The big money has gone to someone else. Lacking an understanding of the Ukrainian business environment, the Republicans have been targeting Hunter Biden, a tiny fish in multimillion dollar international protection rocket who may not even be fit for prosecution. Thus far, he has served as a distraction from investigating the senior-level perpetrator(s).
