Biden corruption
Biden’s legacy
Reading serious reference to President Biden’s “legacy” as though it is anything but an unprecedented catastrophe presents a challenge to my progress in anger management. Joe Biden — this is the guy who opened our borders and invited the world to “come on down,” like someone trying to find his calling as a game show host. This is the guy who deployed the forces of the Department of Justice to »
Look back in anger, Biden family business ed.
On Thursday we took a first look at “Pictures from the Biden family business.” The story of the Biden family business — i.e., money for nothing — takes us back to the Hunter Biden laptop, the Deep State coverup of its authenticity courtesy of Antony Blinken and the Dirty 51, and the 2020 Biden presidential campaign. It is a key that unlocks a secret history — or unlocked a secret »
Pictures from the Biden family business
Miranda Devine is the New York Post columnist and unauthorized historian of the Biden family business. Most recently, she is the author of The Big Guy: How a President and His Son Sold Out America, published earlier this year. Taking advantage of Elon Musk’s liberation of X, Devine has highlighted the recent production of photographs documenting the Biden family business as we have come to know it. Devine links to »
So long is too good a word
Earlier this week President Biden wandered up the street from the White House to the Brookings Institution. At Brookings Biden regurgitated the talking points he has cited in support of his economic record. The White House has posted the text of his speech under the groaning title Remarks by President Biden on His Middle-Out, Bottom-Up Economic Playbook.” I have posted the Reuters video at the bottom. Biden was introduced by »
China Runs the Table
That is energy expert Robert Bryce’s title for his depressing Substack piece: On Monday, the Biden administration issued new restrictions on the export of key semiconductor equipment and software to China. On Tuesday, China retaliated by banning the export to the US of three strategic elements — antimony, gallium, and germanium — that have multiple military and civilian uses. It also restricted the export of graphite to the US. The »
DeButts of the joke
You may know Hunter deButts as the former Princeton lacrosse midfielder. This Hunter deButts actually exists and has done nothing to require a presidential pardon. He is not to be confused with the fictitious Hunter deButts whom The View’s Ana Navarro cited as Woodrow Wilson’s brother-in-law — the one whom Wilson pardoned for his crimes. Searching for precedents that would support President Biden’s pardon of his partner in the corrupt »
Judge Scarsi to Joe Biden
It is unusual for judges to respond to political attacks or to correct the public record in controversial cases. Judge Mark Scarsi has now done so with a blistering response to the big lies of President Biden in the statement that preceded Biden’s pardon of Hunter Biden. The White House has posted the text of the statement and pardon online. Hunter Biden pleaded guilty to the charges against him in »
Flacks, hacks, & quacks
President Biden’s comprehensive pardon of Hunter for crimes he may have committed since 2014 presents as a barking dog of a clue to the “work” of the Biden crime family. It also presents as a barking dog of a clue to the “work” of the flacks, hacks, and quacks who work us over every day. Somewhere along the way they lost their sense of shame. Shamelessness is a bona fide »
It Was Never About Hunter
Joe Biden changed his mind over the Thanksgiving holiday, according to Karine Jean-Pierre, and decided to pardon his son Hunter despite his many promises not to do so. Biden explained his reversal by claiming that Hunter’s prosecution was politically motivated–by Biden’s own DOJ, apparently. It isn’t easy to bring the White House press corps to life, but Biden’s about-face triggered lots of uncomfortable questions for Jean-Pierre, aboard Air Force One »
The Biden paradox
If you think President Biden is the leader of a crime family and everything he says is a a lie, father pardoning son despite numerous vows he would never do so comes as something other than a surprise. When Joe pardoned Hunter yesterday, however, he prefaced it with a laughable statement. The White House has posted the text of the statement and the pardon here. Biden actually includes this proposition »
Runaround Su Revisited
According to Examining Widespread Fraud in Pandemic Unemployment Relief Programs, a recent report from the House Oversight Committee, taxpayers were ripped off for some $191 billion. A key player in the widespread fraud is Biden-Harris labor secretary Julie Su, former secretary of California’s Labor and Workforce Development Agency in charge of the state’s Employment Development Department (EDD). As the report notes: EDD, under leadership of Labor and Workforce Development Agency »
The Zuckerberg letter, cont’d
Yesterday I compiled the New York Post’s coverage of the Zuckerberg letter. In my post I focused on Facebook’s suppression of the New York Post’s coverage of Hunter Biden’s laptop in the run-up to the 2020 presidential election. Speaking for myself, I quoted Zuckerberg’s statement that Facebook sent “the Post story to fact-checkers for review[.]” I commented that every element of the Post’s coverage was accurate and authenticated. I added »
The Zuckerberg letter
Mark Zuckerberg’s letter to Chairman Jim Jordan and the House Judiciary Committee on Facebook’s censorhip in cooperation with government authorities is a document of multifaceted interest. It warrants close examination. Indeed, close reading is required. See the text of the letter below. Mark Zuckerberg just admitted three things: 1. Biden-Harris Admin "pressured" Facebook to censor Americans. 2. Facebook censored Americans. 3. Facebook throttled the Hunter Biden laptop story. Big win »
After last night
President Biden took the George McGovern Memorial Time Slot at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago last night. I have posted the video below. The White House has not yet posted a transcript. The Time transcript is posted here. Time times the transcript as a “27 minute read.” On a feels-like basis, it’s more like 27 hours. The New York Post cover (right) captures the indignity of it all. It »
Lyin’ for Biden, CIA style: Devine comments
New York Post columnist and laptop from hell historian Miranda Devine explains “How CIA interference with the ‘Dirty 51′ letter made Biden president.” She writes in her column this morning (links omitted): Several of the people who signed the “Spies Who Lie” letter about Hunter Biden’s laptop were active CIA contractors, according to records. It is chilling to contemplate that, if it had not been for the malign intervention of »
Lyin’ for Biden, CIA style
The New York Post is the newspaper of record on matters related to the laptop from hell. Then candidate Biden needed a talking point to dismiss the Post’s meticulous reporting on the Biden family business as revealed in the laptop in the run-up to the 2020 presidential election. Biden arranged through Tony Blinken and Michael Morrell to procure a public statement or open letter signed by 51 former intelligence officials, »
Inside the laptop
New York Post columnist Miranda Devine recalls in her June 12 New York Post column: The last time Joe Biden met Donald Trump on a debate stage, he lied that his son Hunter’s laptop was Russian disinformation, “a Russian plant” and “a bunch of garbage.” Taking account of the evidence introduced in the Hunter Biden gun case, Devine itemizes the ways in which Biden’s laptop has been authenticated. Not a »
