Biden corruption
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 »
Domestic Axis of Evil
There is a human tendency to believe that all of the things one doesn’t like are in league or of a piece. That can lead to delusion and misapprehension. On the other hand, it sometimes turns out to be true. Take the case of the Inflation Reduction Act, which should better be known as the Inflation Promotion Act. This grotesque law is nothing but a grab-bag of payoffs to Democratic »
They stand by their operation
Fox News has contacted all the members of the Deep State 51 — the former senior intelligence officials who disparaged the New York Post’s 2020 reporting on Hunter Biden’s laptop as bearing “all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation.” So they said in an open letter or public statement that Natasha Bertrand duly read out for Politico (Bertrand has now moved on to CNN). Natasha, you should have »
Meander in chief
The New York Post cover story features President Biden wandering away from his colleagues at the G7 summit in southern Italy yesterday. Biden and his colleagues attended a skydiving demonstration. At the conclusion of the demonstration, the windmills of Biden’s mind appeared to grind to a halt. Prime Minister Meloni pulled him back toward the group. RNC Research tweeted out the video below. WHAT IS BIDEN DOING? pic.twitter.com/iY33K2srII — RNC »
The Biden defense
Hunter Biden had essentially no defense to the felony gun charges of which we was convicted today. To the extent he had one, it was represented by the presence of Jill Biden sitting in court behind him. Hunter had only the Biden defense: I am Biden. Hear me roar. Don’t screw with me. It has proved a strong and malleable defense, but it came up short today. Given the brevity »
What’s too painful to remember
Students of ancient history may recall the disinformation that greeted the revelations of Hunter Biden’s laptop in the run-up to the 2020 presidential election. The New York Post confirmed and reported them, yet they were routinely dismissed on patently fraudulent grounds. The government has now introduced the laptop as evidence in Hunter Biden’s gun trial and the FBI has vouched for its authenticity. What is to be said? KanekoaTheGreat comments »
John Brennan could not be reached for comment
Today’s New York Post cover story updates the saga of Hunter Biden’s laptop: “Hunter Biden gun trial jurors shown infamous laptop first exposed by The Post in dramatic courtroom reveal.” Yes, indeed, the Post is entitled to keep taking victory laps over its coverage of the laptop from hell. Over on the editorial pages, Miranda Devine keeps running. Hunter Biden’s “Laptop from Hell” is government exhibit 16 at the first »
Garbage all the way down
We closely covered the New York Post stories on Hunter Biden’s laptop from hell in the run-up to the 2020 presidential election. Anyone who took a close look at the story could see a self-authenticating element in it and, indeed, every piece of additional reporting that followed up on the Post’s reporting corroborated it. With a little help from the Deep State 51, the laptop was dismissed as Russian disinformation, »
Criminal evidence
Hunter Biden’s laptop presents as a case study of the cooperation among the mainstream media — I would give pride of place to Natasha Bertrand and Politico, but they had a lot of company — the Democratic Party, and the deep state in the service of Our Democracy™, or Their Democracy. This week the Biden Department of Justice vouched for the authenticity of the laptop in its prosecution of Chairman »
Enter the CIA
IRS whistleblowers Gary Shapley and Joseph Ziegler must be extraordinarily brave men. They blew the whistle on Hunter Biden, the Biden family business, and the Biden Department of Justice’s sham investigation of same. Yesterday the House Ways and Means Committee the Ways and Means Committee released more than 100 pages of newly obtained evidence provided by Shapley and Ziegler. Chairman Smith’s expository press release is posted here, the documents themselves »
Down With Coal?
The Biden Administration is determined to limit America’s production of fossil fuels, of which we have the largest supply in the world. This will transition us from a position of energy independence, and potentially energy dominance, into a position of subservience to the Chinese Communist Party, on which we will depend for the vast quantities of materials that are needed for wind turbines, solar panels and batteries–which we will not »
