Plan for Nationwide Ban on Assault Rifles Resurfaces at White House

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Biden on Friday doubled down on calls to ban assault weapons after a 15-year-old boy in North Carolina allegedly shot five people to death, including an off-duty police officer.

“Enough,” Mr. Biden said. “We’ve grieved and prayed with too many families who have had to bear the terrible burden of these mass shootings.”

He said Congress must do more to “get weapons of war off our streets.”

After a string of mass shootings, the House over the summer passed a ban on assault weapons despite nearly unanimous opposition from Republicans. The bill stalled in the Senate.

Mr. Biden expressed gratitude to law enforcement and other first responders to the attack and said his administration is working with North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper to assist local authorities in the investigation. (Read more from “Plan for Nationwide Ban on Assault Rifles Resurfaces at White House” HERE)

Fighting Words: Biden Rebuked for Calling Nuclear-Armed Country ‘One of the Most Dangerous Nations’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Pakistan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs summoned the U.S. ambassador on Saturday to express their “disappointment and concern” after President Joe Biden called Pakistan “one of the most dangerous nations in the world.”

The president made the remark at a fundraiser for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee in Los Angeles while discussing Chinese President Xi Jinping.

“This is a guy who understands what he wants but has an enormous, enormous array of problems. How do we handle that? How do we handle that relative to what’s going on in Russia? And what I think is maybe one of the most dangerous nations in the world: Pakistan. Nuclear weapons without any cohesion,” Biden said at the event, according to a transcript posted by the White House.

Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said that his country takes nuclear safety measures “with the utmost seriousness.”

“Pakistan is a responsible nuclear state and we are proud that our nuclear assets have the best safeguards as per IAEA requirements,” Sharif tweeted on Saturday.

China Trashes Biden National Security Strategy as ‘Outdated’

/0 Comments/in , /by

China’s state-run Global Times did not think highly of the Biden administration’s latest National Security Strategy (NSS) document, hyperbolically claiming the entire world was immediately gripped by “a strong sense of unease and concern” because American national security will “come at the expense of the security of other countries.”

The Global Times accused the document of strengthening “the camp confrontation and binary opposition mindset that led to the outbreak of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine.” This seems like a cheeky observation coming from the state media of a brutal authoritarian regime that has yet to condemn Russia for invading Ukraine.

Most of the Global Times’ critique boiled down to the latest repetition of the Chinese Communist Party’s favorite geopolitical talking point: the U.S. allegedly adopting a “Cold War mentality” by treating China as a menace to be contained, as the Western world confronted the Soviet Union.

The Global Times lost its marbles when the NSS described China and Russia as “powers that layer authoritarian governance with a revisionist foreign policy,” combining a taste for “wars of aggression” with “actively undermining the democratic political processes of other countries, leveraging technology and supply chains for coercion and repression, and exporting an illiberal model of international order.”

That is a very accurate description of Chinese and Russian policy so, of course, the Chinese state editorialists did not like it one little bit, not even after the White House gave them a break by describing Russia as more of an “immediate threat to the free and open international system” and emphasizing “competition” with China over confrontation.

Dark Brandon: ‘Inflation Going to Get Worse’ — If Republicans Win!

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Joe Biden claimed Thursday that inflation would only get worse if Republicans took majorities in Congress after the midterm elections.

“If Republicans win, inflation is going to get worse. It’s that simple,” Biden said.

The president spoke about inflation during a speech to Democrats and supporters in Los Angeles, reacting to new data concerning the consumer price index from the Labor Department.

The numbers showed that prices continue to go up, as prices increased 0.4 percent from the month of August.

Core inflation, a data point excluding food and energy, increased 6.6 percent from a year ago, the highest since 1982. (Read more from “Dark Brandon: ‘Inflation Going to Get Worse’ — If Republicans Win!” HERE)

Exposed: Biden Pressured OPEC to Try and Save Democrats in the Midterms

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Saudi Arabian Embassy in Washington D.C. released a statement late Wednesday detailing how President Joe Biden attempted to pressure OPEC into increasing oil production in order to boost the political prospects for Democrats in upcoming midterm elections. Saudi officials also revealed Biden pressured OPEC to wait to announce the decision not to increase production until after November 8, 2022.

“The Government of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia would also like to clarify that based on its belief in the importance of dialogue and exchange of views with its allies and partners outside the OPEC + group regarding the situation in the oil markets, the Government of the Kingdom clarified through its continuous consultation with the US Administration that all economic analyses indicate that postponing the OPEC+ decision for a month, according to what has been suggested, would have had negative economic consequences,” the Embassy release in a statement.

“Resolving economic challenges requires the establishment of a non-politicized constructive dialogue, and to wisely and rationally consider what serves the interests of all countries,” the statement continues, adding the U.S.-Saudi relationship is not about domestic political convenience or narratives.

Biden Says Late Son Beau ‘Lost His Life in Iraq’ During Ceremony, Despite Him Passing Due to Brain Tumor

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Joe Biden invoked the memory of his late son Beau Biden Wednesday while declaring the Camp Hale Continental Divide a national monument but said the former Delaware attorney general and military reservist “lost his life in Iraq.”

Prior to his death, Biden’s eldest son served as a reservist in the Delaware Army National Guard and was awarded a Bronze Star for his service in Iraq. Beau died in 2015 following a battle with aggressive brain cancer believed to have been caused by exposure to toxic burn pits while serving overseas.

Biden, speaking in Colorado, highlighted the role that Camp Hale played in training the famed 10th Mountain Division ahead of World War II.

“American soldiers of the 10th Mountain Division scaled that 1800-foot cliff, at night, caught the Germans by surprise, captured key positions, and broke through the Germans’ defensive line at a pivotal point in the war,” the president stated before mentioning Beau. “Just imagine — I mean it sincerely — I say this as a father of a man who won the Bronze Star, the conspicuous service medal, and lost his life in Iraq. Imagine the courage, the daring, and the genuine sacrifice — genuine sacrifice they all made.” (Read more from “Biden Says Late Son Beau ‘Lost His Life in Iraq’ During Ceremony, Despite Him Passing Due to Brain Tumor” HERE)

U.S. Singles Out China, Russia in New National Security Strategy Statement

/0 Comments/in , /by

. . .On Wednesday, the White House drew attention to Biden’s worldview by releasing an official national security blueprint that singled out Russia as a dangerous foe and China as the United States’ chief competitor.

The three-page “National Security Strategy” contains few surprises, but it does effectively lay out what amounts to a Biden doctrine on foreign affairs at a time of heightened tension over a global economic slowdown and the war in Ukraine.

“The most pressing strategic challenge we face as we pursue a free, open, prosperous, and secure world are from powers that layer authoritarian governance with a revisionist foreign policy,” the memo says.

Child Support: Joe Biden Says Hunter Is ‘on the Straight and Narrow,’ Denies Alleged Gun Crime; President Addresses Possibility of Hunter Biden Prosecution

/0 Comments/in , /by

By New York Post. President Biden said Tuesday that his son Hunter Biden is “on the straight and narrow” and denied his offspring committed a gun-purchase crime that the US attorney in Delaware reportedly is considering charging.

CNN host Jake Tapper asked Biden to give his first public response to reporting last week by the Washington Post that the FBI believes there’s enough evidence to charge Hunter, 52, with tax fraud and lying on a gun-purchase form by denying his drug use.

“Personally and politically, how do you react to that?” Tapper asked Biden, whose own involvement in his family’s overseas dealings will be a top focus of Republicans if they retake Congress in the Nov. 8 midterm elections.

“Well, first of all, I’m proud of my son. This is a kid who got, not a kid — he’s a grown man. He got hooked on — like many families have had happen, hooked on drugs. He’s overcome that. He’s established a new life,” the president told Tapper.

“He is — I’m confident that he is — what he says and does are consistent with what happens. And for example, he wrote a book about his problems and was straightforward about it. I’m proud of him.” (Read more from “Child Support: Joe Biden Says Hunter Is ‘on the Straight and Narrow,’ Denies Alleged Gun Crime” HERE)

President Addresses Possibility of Hunter Biden Prosecution

By Politico. President Joe Biden addressed the possibility of his son, Hunter Biden, being prosecuted for tax crimes and a false statement during a gun purchase — the first time the elder Biden has answered questions about the possibility of charges, first reported by the Washington Post.

“I didn’t know anything about it,” the president said in an interview that aired Tuesday on CNN, of his son possibly lying about drug use on an application to purchase a gun.

Federal agents think they have enough evidence to charge the younger Biden with tax crimes and the false statement, the Washington Post reported last week. However, no such charges have been filed by the U.S. Attorney in Delaware — an appointee of former President Donald Trump — yet.

Liar, Liar: Biden Repeats Exaggerated 2004 Fire Story at White House Event (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Joe Biden retold a story during the White House “Summit on Fire Prevention and Control” about a blaze at his Delaware home that has been criticized for being exaggerated. . .

During the event, Biden praised firefighters for saving his two sons after a 1972 car crash, which killed his first wife and their daughter, as well as for rushing him to the hospital in 1988 when he was suffering from two aneurysms. But he also repeated a story about a 2004 blaze at his Wilmington, Delaware, property.

“From the basement to the third floor, the attic, everything was ruined,” he added. “We almost lost a couple firefighters, they tell me, because the kitchen floor was burning between beams, and then the house, in addition, almost collapsed into the basement.”

An Associated Press report at the time described a “small” fire that was contained to the then-senator’s kitchen, though it did mention “heavy smoke.” (Read more from “Liar, Liar: Biden Repeats Exaggerated 2004 Fire Story at White House Event” HERE)

Is a Joe Biden-Appointed Prosecutor Letting James Biden Skate in Federal Criminal Probe?

/0 Comments/in , /by

U.S. Attorney Cindy K. Chung is still overseeing the criminal investigation into the bankrupt health care business from which James Biden allegedly siphoned hundreds of thousands of dollars to finance repairs to his beach house, even after President Joe Biden nominated the top prosecutor for a lifetime appointment as a federal appellate judge. And the assistant U.S. attorney leading the criminal investigation into the James Biden-connected business has now been tapped to replace Chung, according to sources.

Attorney General Merrick Garland has ignored these blatant conflicts of interest just as he has spurned demands that he appoint a special counsel for the Delaware criminal investigation into the Biden family business dealings that implicate not just Hunter and James Biden, but the president of the United States.

“A resident of Fort Lauderdale, Florida, pleaded guilty in federal court to three counts of conspiracy related to the submission of fraudulent health care claims, United States Attorney Cindy K. Chung announced today,” a September press release from the Western District of Pennsylvania opened. Chung’s announcement then detailed the conspiracy to commit health care fraud, pay and receive unlawful kickbacks, and commit money laundering, to which Daniel Hurt pleaded guilty.

While on the surface the Hurt case seems unrelated to James Biden, the details underlying the charge reveal the investigation into Hurt should have run prosecutors headlong into President Biden’s brother’s financial relationship with Americore, the company Hurt allegedly solicited and obtained kickbacks from in executing his Medicare fraud.
