Report: Hunter Biden-Linked Firm Invested in Chinese Companies Hit by U.S. Sanctions

/0 Comments/in , /by

Bohai Harvest RST (BHR), a private equity firm linked to the Chinese regime, in which Hunter Biden still reportedly held a 10% stake as of May, has invested in several firms subject to U.S. sanctions, the Washington Examiner reports.

Hunter Biden helped create the firm after a visit to China in 2013 with his father, then-Vice President Joe Biden. The firm was bankrolled by the government-linked Bank of China, to the tune of $1.5 billion.

Breitbart News recently reported:

As Breitbart News has previously reported, Biden’s ties to the firm have long been at the center of ethical controversy. In December 2013, the younger Biden flew aboard Air Force Two with his father to Beijing. The trip was part of an official state visit the then-vice president was making to the country amid escalating tensions with the United States over islands in the South China Sea.

Although it is unclear exactly what transpired during the journey, Biden entered into a lucrative business arrangement shortly afterward. Only 12 days after the trip, Biden and his business partners inked a multibillion-dollar deal with a subsidiary of the state-owned Bank of China.

Crowd Laughs at Jill Biden as She Promotes COVID Shots

/0 Comments/in , /by

. . .Jill Biden was dispatched on a vaccination promotion tour this week, and after criticizing a crowd in Tennessee for the state’s low vaccination rate, was laughed at.

According to Twitchy, her appearance “did not go well. According to The Tennessean’s Brett Kelman, she was booed and then the crowd laughed at her response when she lectured them on the state’s low vaccination rate.”

Kelman, in fact, explained that the event actually was missing “what it needed most – people getting vaccinated.”

“It appeared that only a few dozen vaccine recipients trickled through the pop-up vaccination clinic at the Ole Smoky Distillery south of Lower Broadway on Tuesday afternoon, and when Biden arrived at the event, only about 10 were there to greet her. Biden shook hands and thanked the small group, then leaned in close to comfort a teen at the moment she got her shot,” he explained.

Armed Cops Charge Parents as School Board Gets Tough On Dissent to Transgender Policy

/0 Comments/in , /by

Two people were arrested or given citations for trespassing and disorderly conduct when the Loudon County school board in Virginia, which triggered a war with parents by proposing to teach their children a transgender agenda, tried to shut down parental comments on its social campaign at this week’s meeting.

The board is the one that punished a teacher, Tanner Cross, with a suspension and a ban for objecting to members’ decision to adopt teaching programs that violated his Christian faith, and then doubled down on that decision by pursuing an appeal of a court order to reinstate him. . .

The fight came to a head this week when 259 residents signed up to address the board at a meeting on the subject of the proposed policy 8040 which calls for boys who say they’re girls to be allowed to use restrooms and shower facilities with biological girls. . .

The board said the public comment period was closed, several members of the audience said it was not, and two were cited when they refused to leave immediately. . .

Armed police officers were summoned to physically eject at least one man. (Read more from “Armed Cops Charge Parents as School Board Gets Tough On Dissent to Transgender Policy” HERE)

Morgan Stanley announced it would not let unvaccinated employees or clients into its office buildings, the Financial Times reported Tuesday.

“Starting July 12 all employees, contingent workforce, clients and visitors will be required to attest to being fully vaccinated to access Morgan Stanley buildings in New York and Westchester,” Morgan Stanley Chief Human Resources Officer Mandell Crawley said in a memo obtained by the Financial Times on Tuesday.

Employees, clients, and visitors will have to confirm their vaccination status on an “honorary basis” by July 1, Crawley said in the letter.

Those who don’t confirm their vaccination status by July 12 will have to continue working remotely and lose access to the Morgan Stanley buildings, the memo said. (Read more from “Financial Giant Bans Non-Vaccinated People From Offices” HERE)

Nations That Relied on China’s COVID Vaccines Now Seeing Large Increases in Infections

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Chinese Communists had promised the world a safe, effective vaccine to combat the coronavirus pandemic. Before their vaccines had even hit the market, they were selling millions of doses to countries such as Mongolia, Bahrain, and Chile. They loaned a billion dollars to Latin America so countries there could afford the shots. They gave 100,000 doses to tiny, impoverished Bangladesh.

All of this was to build goodwill and improve strained relations that China had damaged so much in recent years. Indonesia — which never counted itself a “friend” of China — was being given vaccine doses when most of the west was still trying to get their own populations vaccinated.

But there was one, small problem with the vaccines. They don’t work very well.

New York Times:

In the Seychelles, Chile, Bahrain and Mongolia, 50 to 68 percent of the populations have been fully inoculated, outpacing the United States, according to Our World in Data, a data tracking project. All four ranked among the top 10 countries with the worst Covid outbreaks as recently as last week, according to data from The New York Times. And all four are mostly using shots made by two Chinese vaccine makers, Sinopharm and Sinovac Biotech.

Pope Francis: ‘Tear Down the Walls’ Against Islam!

/0 Comments/in , /by

Pope Francis wants any and all walls, real or figurative, that stand between the West and Islam broken down immediately — or so he’s constantly saying.

Most recently, on Sunday, June 13, 2021, he called for the “growth of a more supportive humanity that tears down the wall of indifference.” This was spoken in the context of urging Europeans to take in more illegally-arrived Muslim migrants.

Earlier, in March 2019, when asked “a question about migration in general and about U.S. President Donald Trump’s then-threat to shut down the southern border with Mexico,” the pope pontificated in platitudes. “Builders of walls,” he said, “be they made of razor wire or bricks, will end up becoming prisoners of the walls they build. … With fear, we will not move forward, with walls, we will remain closed within these walls.”

Less than a week before that, Francis lectured the mayor of Rome about the need to be more welcoming to Muslim migrants. “Rome,” he declared, “a hospitable city, is called to face this epochal challenge [floods of Muslim migrants demanding entry] in the wake of its noble history; to use its energies to welcome and integrate, to transform tensions and problems into opportunities for meeting and growth.”

“Rome,” he exulted, “city of bridges, never walls!” (Read more from “Pope Francis: ‘Tear Down the Walls’ Against Islam!” HERE)

Democrats’ Bid to Rewrite U.S. Voting Laws Is Blocked by GOP in Senate; Republicans Will Introduce Election Bill Requiring States to Maintain Ballot Transparency

/0 Comments/in , /by

By New York Post. An effort by congressional Democrats to rewrite U.S. election and voting laws stalled in the Senate Tuesday, blocked by a wall of Republican opposition.

The bill, known as the For the People Act, represented a breathtaking federal infringement on states’ authority to conduct their own elections without fraud — and one meant to ultimately benefit Democrats, Republicans have argued.

It failed on a 50-50 vote after Republicans, some of whom derided the bill as the “Screw the People Act,” denied Democrats the 60 votes needed to begin debate. Vice President Kamala Harris presided over the chamber as the bill failed.

The rejection forces Democrats to reckon with what comes next for their top legislative priority in a narrowly divided Senate. They’ve touted the measure as a powerful counterweight to scores of proposals advancing in GOP-controlled statehouses making it more difficult to vote.

“This is a battle for the soul of America,” said Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer. “We will keep fighting until we succeed.” (Read more from “Democrats’ Bid to Rewrite U.S. Voting Laws Is Blocked by GOP in Senate” HERE)

Republicans Will Introduce Election Bill Requiring States to Maintain Ballot Transparency

By The Federalist. Led by Florida Rep. Byron Donalds, Republicans are putting forth a bill Tuesday that seeks to address voting security and fraud irregularities in the wake of a controversial 2020 presidential election, The Federalist has exclusively learned.

The Vote Outcome Transparency in Elections (VOTE) Act would require states both publicly disclose the number of ballots in possession on election night, and mandates all ballots delivered by the United States Postal Service are postmarked. In the build-up to the election, many states changed procedures and policies, which Republicans argued were unconstitutional.

“The debacle of the 2020 elections exposed something troubling: the unconstitutional and unilateral changing of election laws by several counties and states across the country,” Donalds told The Federalist.

“The left likes to excuse these divergences from the Constitution because of the pandemic. We cannot ignore fraud and illegality, especially when it comes to the sanctity of our elections. The catastrophe of the 2020 elections must never happen again, and the American people must have faith in the security of our ballots and voting system going forward,” he said.

Nearly 4,000 Fully Vaccinated People in Massachusetts Test Positive For COVID

/0 Comments/in , /by

Nearly 4,000 fully vaccinated people in Massachusetts have tested positive for Covid-19, according to state health officials.

As of 12 June there had been 3,791 cases among more than 3.7m fully vaccinated people in the state, data from the Department of Public Health shows.

That means that around one in 1,000 fully vaccinated people in Massachusetts are still becoming infected despite getting their shots. . .

The Centers for Disease Control has stated that the three vaccines available in the US prevent most people from getting the virus.

But the CDC has also recognized that there will be “a small percentage of fully vaccinated people who still get sick, are hospitalized, or die from Covid-19”. (Read more from “Nearly 4,000 Fully Vaccinated People in Massachusetts Test Positive For COVID” HERE)

Pelosi Plans Announcement on Select Committee to Investigate Siege of Congress

/0 Comments/in , /by

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi will announce this week whether she will create a select committee to investigate the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol, her spokesman said.

The California Democrat told colleagues about her plans during a meeting of the House Steering and Policy Committee on Tuesday, which comes weeks after Senate Republicans blocked legislation that would have created a commission to dig into the attack on Congress.

Multiple news outlets reported the speaker revealed she would create the committee, which would not require GOP support. But Drew Hammill, Pelosi’s deputy chief of staff, quickly tweeted a denial.

An Illinois town is holding Juneteenth and gay pride celebrations despite canceling its Fourth of July festivities.

“My home town of Evanston, Illinois is having a Juneteenth Parade and a Gay Pride Parade, but is cancelling the 4th of July Parade & Fireworks,” said RealClearPolitics co-founder Tom Bevan on Twitter.

The city commemorated Juneteenth after President Joe Biden signed a bill making it a federal holiday last week, holding a parade and musical performances at a local park. The city also has a gay pride parade planned for later this month.

The celebrations come after Evanston canceled this year’s Fourth of July celebration over COVID-19 concerns. (Read more from “City Holds Juneteenth and Gay Pride Celebrations After Canceling July Fourth Celebration” HERE)
