House GOP Signals Classified Docs of Interest in Biden Impeachment Inquiry

/0 Comments/in , /by

House Republicans signaled that President Joe Biden‘s handling of classified documents is pertinent to their impeachment inquiry into allegations of corruption.

Rep. Mike Turner (R-OH), chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, broached the ongoing criminal investigation into the Biden documents matter during the first impeachment hearing held by the House Oversight Committee on Thursday.

The congressman invoked the impeachment inquiry scope memo released by House Republicans late Wednesday evening, which he said “indicates” the clarified materials are “relevant.” In the 30-page document, there is a footnote linked to a section exploring the question of whether Biden abused his power to impede the criminal investigation into his son Hunter.

“For example, the Oversight Committee has requested information regarding the classified materials discovered in the President’s home — where his son has resided during the time period relevant to this investigation — and personal office, but the White House has provided no information to the Committee regarding the contents of or its full approach towards those documents,” the footnote said.

James Biden Admits to FBI: Family Tried to Help Chinese Firm Buy U.S. Energy Assets

/0 Comments/in , /by

James Biden, brother of President Joe Biden, confirmed to the FBI last year that his family tried to help CEFC China Energy Co. purchase a U.S. liquid natural gas facility in Louisiana, according to documents released Wednesday by the House Ways and Means Committee.

CEFC, closely linked to the CCP and Chinese President Xi Jinping, was chaired by Ye Jianming, an associate of Hunter Biden. James Biden told the FBI he personally met once with Jianming about CEFC’s interest in acquiring the liquid natural gas facility.

“James B noted that RHB portrayed CEFC to him as Chairman Ye was a protégé of President Xi,” FBI agents noted in a memo.

“James B recalled that the life changing meeting was the deal with Monkey Island. Monkey Island was off the coast of Louisiana near the Gulf of Mexico. James B stated that there was room for a port to be developed and that the properties were pre-approved,” the FBI memo said. “The island was 50-100 miles from the Gulf of Mexico and that there was a clear passage to offload and load gas. CEFC was supposed to buy it from Greg Michaels (‘Michaels’) (the CEO and Owner in control of Monkey Island).” (Read more from “James Biden Admits to FBI: Family Tried to Help Chinese Firm Buy U.S. Energy Assets” HERE)

Democrats Fake Trump-Zelensky Phone Call, Again, in First Impeachment Hearing

/0 Comments/in , /by

Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) repeated a fake version of the infamous 2019 Trump-Zelensky phone call in the first impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden at the House Oversight and Accountability Committee Thursday.

Raskin, the ranking minority member of the committee, claimed in his opening statement that the entire inquiry was a recapitulation of claims of corruption made by Republicans in 2019, of which he said there was no evidence.

In the process, Raskin claimed that Trump associates traveled to Ukraine to dig up dirt on Joe Biden, which he said “culminated in the infamous phone call that then-President [Donald] Trump made to Ukrainian President [Volodymyr] Zelensky, in which Trump threatened to withhold hundreds of billions of dollars in economic, strategic, and military security assistance to Ukraine unless Zelensky embraced their ridiculous fabrication and falsely advertised to the world that Ukraine was investigating Joe Biden.”

Raskin’s version of events repeats a fake version of the phone call, which Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) performed when he conducted his 2019 impeachment inquiry into Trump, and which formed the basis for Democrats’ subsequent arguments for impeaching and removing Trump.

But the transcript of the call, declassified and released by Trump, did not include any threats to withhold aid at all. Nor did it include any “quid pro quo” in which the president made aid conditional on any investigation of Biden.

Banana Republic: DOJ Investigators Ordered to ‘Remove Any Reference’ to Joe Biden in FARA Warrant

/0 Comments/in , /by

An email released Wednesday by the House Ways and Means Committee shows Assistant U.S. Attorney Lesley Wolf ordered investigators in August 2020 to remove any reference to “Political Figure 1” from a search warrant. A document subsequently released showed that President Joe Biden is “Political Figure 1.”

“As a priority, someone needs to redraft attachment B,” Wolf wrote in an email. “I am not sure what this is cut and pasted from but other than the attribution location, and identity stuff at the end, none of it is appropriate and within the scope of this warrant.”

“Please focus on FARA [Foreign Agents Registration Act] evidence only. There should be nothing about Political Figure 1 in here,” she added.

A second document the committee released Wednesday showed “Political Figure 1” is “Former Vice President Joseph Robinette Biden Jr.”

The document says:

VP BIDEN is currently the Democratic Party Presidential candidate for the United States and served as the 47th officeholder for the position of the Office of the Vice President of the United States (VPOTUS) in the Barack Obama Administration from January 20, 2009 to January 20, 2017. He is the father of SUBJECT 1.

Trump Hits Back at Chris Christie for ‘Donald Duck’ Nickname

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former President Donald Trump dismissed former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie’s new nickname for him that attacked the former president for his absence from the second GOP presidential primary debate.

Christie called Trump “Donald Duck” on Wednesday night, criticizing him for skipping the event in favor of attending an event in Michigan for the United Auto Workers strike. . .

Unimpressed with the nickname, Trump fired back at Christie in an interview with Fox News Digital Wednesday night.

“Anybody that would come up with that nickname shouldn’t be running for president,” Trump said.

Trump defended his decision to skip the debate, saying that due to his sizable lead over the field, it was “much more important” for him to deal “with the UAW and the fact that the Biden administration is going to destroy their jobs over the next two years by going all electric vehicle.” (Read more from “Trump Hits Back at Chris Christie for ‘Donald Duck’ Nickname” HERE)

Biden Impeachment: Marjorie Taylor Greene Met With Requests Not to Display ‘Pornography’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) was interrupted during her prepared remarks in President Joe Biden’s impeachment hearing Thursday.

Greene had been utilizing poster boards as she discussed Hunter Biden’s alleged sexual exploitation of women. As she raised a poster that featured a woman lying face down in a small swimsuit, Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) interrupted her by calling on House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) to stop her remarks. Greene has previously shown screenshots of the president’s son’s sexually illicit activities on the House floor, so Raskin assumed from a glimpse that she was attempting to do so again.

The Maryland representative, who also serves as the committee’s ranking member, cited a House rule that allows for objections to exhibits brought on the House floor. All exhibits are subject to the permission of the Chair, who can cause them to be withdrawn.

“It is sad that my Democrat colleagues pretend to care about women’s rights while allowing Hunter Biden to exploit women,” Greene said following Raskin’s interruption. “This is a shame.” . . .

“Well, I’m saying I would like the witness, I would like the member to be instructed to not introduce any pornography today, at least without running through the chair first,” Raskin said. Greene gave another objection, saying that this photo is on the internet and therefore likely that they had all seen it before.

Only 3% Of Dem-Run City’s Restaurants Have Not Been Vandalized in Past Month: Survey

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Vandalism is becoming almost unavoidable for San Francisco’s restaurants, a new survey shows.

Only 3% out of 74 restaurants surveyed said they had not experienced graffiti or property crime in the last month, according to a new survey from the Golden Gate Restaurant Association.

The city has spent $1 million on grants for vandalism relief since 2021, and nearly 800 businesses have received $1,000 or $2,000 grants for graffiti, broken windows, or other vandalism, the San Francisco Chronicle reported.

San Francisco’s 311 call center has received 10,000 reports of graffiti on commercial buildings and sidewalks in the last six months, the outlet reported.

Now, the San Francisco Police Department has even assigned an officer to investigate graffiti full-time. (Read more from “Only 3% Of Dem-Run City’s Restaurants Have Not Been Vandalized in Past Month: Survey” HERE)

New York Judge’s Anti-Trump Fraud Ruling “Delusional”

/5 Comments/in , , /by

Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron delivered a bombshell ruling [this week] that the former president committed fraud by inflating the value of his wealth, with details including the monetary value associated with Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach. . .

However, the ruling raised eyebrows when Engoron, a Democrat who ran unopposed in the general election on Nov. 3, 2015, evaluated the worth of Trump’s prized Mar-a-Lago Club resort at $18 million, ruling that the property was inflated by 2,500%. . .

One prominent Palm Beach real estate broker, speaking on the condition of anonymity, told The Post, “It’s utterly delusional to think that property is only worth $18 million . . . If that property were on the market today, I would list it at around $300 million, minimum, at least. He also has the separate golf course minutes away” . . .

To put it in perspective, a 2-acre wooded lot at 1980 S. Ocean Blvd., just 5 minutes from Mar-a-Lago, is currently listed for $150 million. Mar-a-Lago, situated at 1100 S. Ocean Blvd., dwarfs this lot tenfold and operates as a commercial business with around 500 members as part of the golf club.

Also nearby: a 2.3-acre plot of land at 1063/1071 N. Ocean Blvd., on the market for a sky-high $200 million. Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate boasts 20 acres. (Read more from “New York Judge’s Anti-Trump Fraud Ruling “Delusional”” HERE)

Leftist Judge Won’t Recuse Herself From Trump J6 Case

/0 Comments/in , /by

United States District Judge Tanya S. Chutkan on Wednesday refused to recuse herself from overseeing the federal case former against President Donald Trump over his alleged role in the January 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol.

Trump’s attorneys earlier this month filed a motion for Chutkan to recuse herself based on comments she has made at sentencing hearings for multiple January 6 defendants.

For example, Chutkan described the Capitol riot as “an attempt to violently overthrow the government, the legally, lawfully, peacefully elected government by individuals who were mad that their guy lost” during Christine Priola’s October 2022 sentencing.

Chutkan claimed those inside the Capitol did so out of “blind loyalty to one person who, by the way, remains free to this day.”

“The public meaning of this statement is inescapable — President Trump is free, but should not be,” Trump’s attorneys argued in their recusal motion. “As an apparent prejudgment of guilt, these comments are disqualifying standing alone.”

94% Of Jobs at S&P 100 Companies Filled by “People of Color”

/0 Comments/in , /by

In 2021, 94% of new jobs at 88 S&P 100 companies were filled by people of color, according to an analysis from Bloomberg.

Following the 2020 Black Lives Matter protests sparked by the murder of George Floyd, many large corporations made pledges to address racial imbalances among their workforce.

Microsoft promised to double its number of Black managers and senior leaders in the U.S. by 2025. Meta, then known as Facebook, pledged to increase its representation of people of color in leadership positions in the U.S. by 30% by 2025. Amazon set a goal to double its representation of Black directors and vice presidents.

A new analysis by Bloomberg of U.S. Equal Opportunity Commission data found that many companies made progress on such promises a year after making them.

In 2021, 88 companies in the S&P 100 increased their headcount collectively by 323,094 people, and 94% of those people were from underrepresented groups, the analysis found. (Read more from “94% Of Jobs at S&P 100 Companies Filled by “People of Color” HERE)
