From Russia With Love: Biden Pushed Hillary Clinton to Form Closer Ties With Russia

/0 Comments/in , /by

By Townhall. In the aftermath of the Mueller report and former Vice President Joe Biden’s announcement Thursday he intends to run for president in 2020, several news outlets began reporting on Biden’s desire during his tenure in the Obama administration to develop closer ties to Russia.

The Washington Free Beacon published a piece Thursday morning reminding readers of Biden’s defense of Russia following then-candidate Mitt Romney’s concern over Russia’s apparent moves toward geopolitical domination in 2012.

In 2012, when Romney expressed concern that President Barack Obama was caught on a hot-mic promising more “flexibility” regarding Russia, Biden took it as an opportunity to herald that administration’s “Russia reset” — an approach championed by Hillary Clinton — and marginalize Romney as a doddering conservative still approaching the U.S./Russia relationship from a Cold War perspective. . .

Biden then went on to insist Russia was working with the Obama administration in everything from Iran to Afghanistan, and insisted, a month later, that Russia was the reason for new relationships with nations such as China and Turkey.

Biden Wanted to Establish a ‘Biden-Putin Commission’ to Cozy up to the Kremlin

By Jordan Schachtel. Two separate emails, disclosed in late 2018 through a State Department Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request, show that the Obama administration — and Joe Biden personally — was heavily invested in the idea of cozying up to Russian dictator Vladimir Putin.

Biden officially announced that he was running for president Thursday. During his speech, he articulated several false narratives to take shots at President Trump.

Now that the former Obama VP is in the race, perhaps he will answer questions concerning his past idea to establish a Biden-Putin commission to forge closer ties with the Kremlin.

In an undated email from Strobe Talbott, former deputy secretary of state under Bill Clinton, to Hillary Clinton, using the subject line “Russia,” the then-Brookings Institution president told Clinton that Biden floated the idea of the commission intended to bolster ties to Russia.

“The VP told me on the margins of the big ceremony at State that he was thinking seriously about a Biden-Putin Commission. I have a thought or two on that subject that I’d like to share with you whenever it’s appropriate.”

In another email, this time from the late Sandy Berger (who served as national security adviser to Bill Clinton), it appeared that Clinton was on board with the idea.

“I think your idea of establishing a Biden-Putin Commission — like Gore-Chemomydrin — to coordinate and drive the US-Russian relationship has a lot of merit,” Berger wrote in an email to Hillary Clinton.

“It elevates the relationship after eight years of neglect which has fueled nationalistic resentment in Moscow and provides a mechanism for achieving trade-offs that can produce a larger bargain,” Berger added.

Biden’s infatuation with Russia began during his time serving as a senator, when he made routine trips to the then-Soviet Union to meet with top USSR leaders.

As Trevor Loudon explains in The Epoch Times:

“Throughout the 1980s, Biden consistently opposed President Ronald Reagan’s tough line against the Soviet Union. Biden instead favored détente—which, had that policy remained in place, would have meant more subsidies and trade deals, keeping the Soviet Union alive much longer than necessary.”

“Biden also was a strong opponent of U.S. military opposition to Soviet expansionism,” Loudon adds.

Since the days of the early Soviet Union, the Democratic Party has remained consistently soft on Russia. Democrats’ rhetoric and policies on Moscow, however, suddenly changed when President Trump was implicated in the Russian collusion hoax, which was spawned by Hillary Clinton’s campaign.

And in their efforts to label the president as weak on Russia, much of the Left — and virtually every top official in the Obama administration — sought to erase the Obama administration’s incredible capitulation to Russia on almost every major geopolitical issue.

The Obama administration allowed unchecked election interference, promised “more flexibility” after the 2012 election, attempted an infamous botched “reset,” closed a controversial Uranium One deal, oversaw Russia’s annexation of Crimea from Ukraine, and held Russia responsible for securing Syria’s chemical weapons, and that’s just a handful of the many botched foreign policy decisions vis-a-vis Russia made by the Obama White House.

Biden himself has been objectively dovish and complimentary of post-communist Russia, the Washington Free Beacon reminds us. The publication listed several comments from then-VP Biden making it clear that he saw Russia as a partner rather than an adversary.

“Governor Romney’s answer I thought was incredibly revealing. He acts like he thinks the Cold War is still on, Russia is still our major adversary. I don’t know where he has been,” Biden said in one such quote resurfaced by the Free Beacon, in which he was commenting on a debate between then-presidential candidate Mitt Romney and incumbent President Obama.

In other comments, Biden frequently positioned Russia as a partner against our common adversaries, when in fact, Russia was instead partnering with our adversaries. (For more from the author of “Biden Wanted to Establish a ‘Biden-Putin Commission’ to Cozy up to the Kremlin” please click HERE)

OOPS: Biden’s Latest Hire Doesn’t Want White People Leading the Democratic Party

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former CNN contributor Symone Sanders does not want white people leading the Democrat Party. Or, at least she used to feel that way.

Sanders was just tapped to serve as a senior advisor to former Vice President Joe Biden, who announced his long-expected 2020 presidential run on Thursday. Of course, if Biden has any success, he, a white male, would be the nominee of the Democratic Party.

But after President Donald Trump took office in 2016, Sanders said during a CNN segment that “we don’t need white people leading the Democratic Party right now,” noted The Washington Examiner. . .

Biden announced his candidacy on Thursday with a racially-charged video, castigating President Donald Trump as a defender of white supremacists.

As noted by The Daily Wire’s James Barrett, Biden’s announcement video “features a reference to Trump saying there were ‘very fine people on both sides’ following the Charlottesville Confederate monument protests that erupted in violence and resulted in a white supremacist plowing into and killing a peaceful liberal protester. Trump critics say the president was specifically defending white nationalists, while his defenders say he was generally referencing those protesting the removal of Confederate monuments. Amid backlash for his initial response, Trump went on to specifically denounce white supremacy.” (Read more from “OOPS: Biden’s Latest Hire Doesn’t Want White People Leading the Democratic Party” HERE)

Poll Reveals How Dem Women Feel About Joe Biden Groping

/0 Comments/in , /by

Recent allegations of former Vice President Joe Biden’s inappropriate touching of women dominated political headlines for most of last week, but a new poll indicates voters in one of the country’s largest states don’t consider it a serious issue.

A Quinnipiac University public opinion survey of California voters also suggests that Biden – who’s likely to launch a White House bid in the coming weeks – is the leader of the pack in the Golden State among the large field of contenders vying for the Democratic presidential nomination.

Two-thirds of voters questioned in the live operator survey – including 67 percent of women, 71 percent of Democrats, and even 55 percent of Republicans – said the controversy was not a serious issue.

“‘Let Biden be Biden,’ say California voters, clearly unconcerned about former Vice President Joe Biden’s tactile embrace of supporters,” Quinnipiac Polling assistant director Tim Malloy said. “But there is one noticeable generational split. The youngest of voters are far more inclined to say, ‘hands off.'”

Biden’s well publicized and decades long affectionate brand of physical politics was thrust into the spotlight nearly two weeks ago, thanks to allegations from 2014 Nevada Democratic lieutenant governor nominee Lucy Flores. She said in an essay published in New York Magazine that Biden made her feel “uneasy, gross, and confused” at a campaign rally when she said he kissed her on the back of the head. Her claims quickly went viral and became a top cable news story for a week. (Read more from “Poll Reveals How Dem Women Feel About Joe Biden Groping” HERE)

After This Onstage Remark, Joe Biden 2020 Should Be Canceled

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By Townhall. Does Joe Biden think the several allegations of touching women inappropriately are a joke? I mean, how else could you explain this incident at a union conference? The former vice president has begun laying the groundwork for his 2020 campaign. It’s happening. It’s in the works, but Me Too drama has struck. He’s a handsy kind-of-guy, Joe Biden. And for more than a few women, his displays of affection crossed the line into creep city. . .

At the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Conference at the Washington Hilton, Biden brought up some kid, put his arms around him and said, “He gave me permission to touch him all right?…Everyone knows I like kids better than people.”

Biden Walks Into Trump’s Punchline

By The Hill. President Trump mocked Joe Biden on Friday, saying he didn’t see the former vice president as a threat because he’s “only a threat to himself.”

Hours later, Biden may have proved the president’s point.

Seeking to move on from the controversy over allegations of unwanted touching and kissing from women, Biden offered jokes and a non-apology in front of a union crowd in Washington, D.C.

The performance received mixed reviews at best, with some commentators questioning whether Biden, a politician with a long history of gaffes, was taking the criticism of his behavior seriously.

Obama’s Team Explains Why He Isn’t Weighing in on Biden Allegations

/0 Comments/in , /by

On Wednesday, former Vice President Joe Biden attempted to address the growing scandal over claims of his past “innappropriate touching” of women by issuing a video explaining that he has always been about making a “human connection” but assuring his supporters that he now “get[s] it”: “social norms” have “shifted” and he will change how he interacts with women accordingly. The next day, The Washington Post published three more accounts from three more women detailing times they say Biden crossed the line — bringing the total number of accusations to seven.

With high-profile Democrats taking positions on the growing scandal, one key voice has been glaringly absent: the man Biden can thank for being vice president for eight years. So where is Obama in the Biden debate?

According to The Hill’s sources, we shouldn’t expect to be hearing publicly from Obama anytime soon, but we should assume he is still “standing behind” his former VP amid the growing list of accusers.

“President Obama thinks the world of him and thinks he’d be an excellent president,” a source The Hill describes as someone “close to Obama” told the outlet. The “infinite amount of time” Obama has already spent praising Biden’s character should be enough for people to know where he stands, the source suggested.

But if he’s so confident in Biden’s character, why won’t Obama simply say so publicly, rather than through surrogates? The Hill’s sources say this is just how Obama plans to operate for the Democratic primary, and Biden should undersand that well enough. “President Obama is not going to be weighing in on the primary and the day-to-day stories around it. And Joe Biden would be the first to tell you that he’ll have to earn the nomination on his own,” the source told The Hill.

Joe Biden Promises to NOT Manhandle Any More Women

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former Vice President Joe Biden has heard the allegations lobbed against him. And he’s not sorry. He’s not letting alleged instances of being a bit too aggressive with some women hold his 2020 plans back. These aren’t allegations on par with creeps like Harvey Weinstein. Still, Biden’s overt affections, for lack of a better term, has landed him in hot water with four women who said they were more or less totally creeped out and uncomfortable with the shoulder touching, the hair sniffing, the kissing on the back of the head, and the hands being placed in the thigh region.

Yeah, say what you will, Democrats. This still could be construed as sexual harassment. And these are your rules; will you abide by them? Or will you play by the not-so-secret Democratic protocols that give political cover to your allies when they are accused of bad behavior? It could get nasty, but for now, Creepy Joe has released a video where he said that he wouldn’t manhandle women as much[.]

HILARIOUS: President Trump BURNS Joe Biden Over Media Scrutiny

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By Breitbart. President Donald Trump ridiculed Joe Biden on Tuesday after the former Vice President received scrutiny for inappropriately touching women and children.

“It looks like the only non-sort of heavy socialist, he’s being taken care of pretty well by the socialists. They got to him,” Trump said. . .

The president commented on the controversy during remarks at the NRCC spring dinner in Washington, DC.

“I was going to call him, I don’t know him well, and say, ‘Welcome to the world, Joe. Are you having a good time?’” Trump continued. (Read more from “HILARIOUS: President Trump BURNS Joe Biden Over Media Scrutiny” HERE)

Trump taunts Biden amid misconduct allegations: ‘You having a good time, Joe?’

By The Hill. President Trump on Tuesday taunted Joe Biden after two women came forward in recent days to detail interactions with the former vice president they said involved inappropriate or unwanted touching.

Trump, speaking at a National Republican Congressional Committee dinner, sought advice from the crowd of GOP lawmakers and conservatives about his 2020 campaign slogan as he prepared to face a Democratic challenge.

“We’re going into the war with some socialists,” Trump said of the field of prospective Democratic candidates. “And it looks like the only non sort of heavy socialist, he’s being taken care of pretty well by the socialists. . .

Later in his speech, Trump again took a shot at Biden as he recalled hearing good news from a general about efforts to eliminate the Islamic State (ISIS).

“I said, “General come here. Give me a kiss.’ I felt like Joe Biden,” Trump said, prompting laughter and applause from attendees. “But I meant it.” (Read more from “Trump Taunts Biden Amid Misconduct Allegations: ‘You Having a Good Time, Joe?'” HERE)

Two MORE Women Accuse Creepy Biden of ‘Inappropriate Touching’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Two more women have accused former Vice President Joe Biden of touching them inappropriately at events, bringing the total number of women who have complained publicly about the prospective 2020 Democratic candidate to four.

The latest accusations were reported by The New York Times. One of the claims dated from 2012, while the other encounter was said to have taken place a few years later.

In the 2012 incident, writer D.J. Hill said Biden put his hand on her shoulder, then dropped it down her back in a way that made her “very uncomfortable” while Hill and her husband posed for pictures with him at a fundraiser in Minneapolis. Hill said her husband noticed the movement and made a joke about it. . .

In the second incident, former college student Caitlyn Caruso told the paper that Biden “rested his hand on her thigh — even as she squirmed in her seat to show her discomfort — and hugged her ‘just a little bit too long’ at an event on sexual assault at the University of Nevada at Las Vegas.” Caruso, now 22, told the paper that she was 19 at the time and had just recounted her own story of sexual assault. . .

Biden has denied acting inappropriately and a spokesman for the former vice president accused “right wing trolls and others” of conflating images of Biden embracing acquaintances, colleagues and friends in his official capacity during swearing-in ceremonies with uninvited touching in a statement published the same day as Lappos’ accusations.

Keep Your Hands to Yourself, Grandpa: Another Accuser Comes Forward Against Joe Biden

/0 Comments/in , /by

By Townhall. There were too many photos of Joe Biden acting creepily for him to have just one accuser. These things come in waves, usually in threes; so don’t be shocked if another woman comes forward alleging that the former vice president touched them in an inappropriate manner. Lucy Flores was a 2014 candidate for Nevada lieutenant governor’s office. Biden paid her campaign a visit and that’s when he smelled her hair, touched her shoulders, and kissed on the back of her head. . .

[W]e now have another accuser who alleges the vice president got a bit handsy at a 2009 fundraiser in Connecticut (via The Hill) [emphasis mine]:

A Connecticut woman said Monday that Joe Biden touched her inappropriately and rubbed noses with her while at a 2009 political fundraiser in Greenwich, the second such allegation against the former vice president in the past week.

“It wasn’t sexual, but he did grab me by the head,” Amy Lappos told The Hartford Courant on Monday.

He put his hand around my neck and pulled me in to rub noses with me. When he was pulling me in, I thought he was going to kiss me on the mouth.”

Biden Is Facing a Second Accusation

By Fox News. A second woman has come forward to accuse former Vice President Joe Biden of inappropriate touching, further complicating the prospective presidential candidate’s political future and intensifying what has become a social media reckoning on his previous public behavior with women.

Amy Lappos, 43, first told the Hartford Courant in an interview published Monday that Biden grabbed her during a $1,000-per-plate October 2009 fundraiser for Connecticut Democrat Rep. Jim Himes. Lappos, who initially posted about the episode on Facebook on Sunday, was working as an aide for Himes at the time.

“It wasn’t sexual, but he did grab me by the head,” Lappos told the paper. “He put his hand around my neck and pulled me in to rub noses with me. When he was pulling me in, I thought he was going to kiss me on the mouth.”

A Biden spokesman referred Fox News’ requests for comment on the new allegation to Biden’s earlier statements, in which Biden and his team strongly denied accusations the former vice president acted inappropriately around women. Still, they vowed to listen to any allegations or concerns. . .

In a statement to Fox News Monday afternoon, Lappos said she was speaking out “because I am so disappointed in my party, the Democratic Party, and the way we have treated Lucy Flores. … Biden’s statement in response to Lucy’s article was not only disturbing it was disgusting. I stand my Lucy and any woman with the courage to come forward regarding men and they way they treat women.” (Read more from “Biden Is Facing a Second Accusation” HERE)

Sorry, Uncle Joe, They No Longer Serve Your Kind Here

/0 Comments/in , /by

You can’t teach an old dog woke tricks. But when you try, it’s hilarious.

On this farcical occasion, I’m talking about probable Democrat presidential candidate Joe Biden, who is clearly a man out of time. In recently attempting to reassure the intersectionality identity cult about his role as Senate Judiciary chairman during 1991’s Clarence Thomas-Anita Hill Supreme Court hearings, Biden went to the “it’s a white man’s culture” card.

Settle down, hip-hop. You aren’t cutting your next rap album. You’re from Delaware.

Then there are questions like how the product of this so-called white man’s culture could lead to results like the black Clarence Thomas even being appointed to the court at all, and then yet another black guy Biden may know named Barack Obama being elected as president of the United States.

Does Biden remember that? I think he was Obama’s vice president for eight years or something.

And more than anything, the most pathetic thing about all of this is that Biden still looks at his party and thinks he has a place in it as standard-bearer. Come on, man. Bernie Sanders is more socialist than you. Kamala Harris is more black than you. Beto is more beta than you. Elizabeth Warren is more Native American than you. Amy Klobuchar is more woman than you. Pete Buttigieg is more gay than you. Cory Booker is more Spartacus than you.

And Uncle Joe is whiter and more male than them all. Basically he’s John Kasich without being the son of a mailman.

Don’t just take my conservative word for it, though. While CNN’s most accurate actual reporter may be the broken clock on its wall – thank you, Babylon Bee – one of its most progressive political propagandists is none other than Joan Walsh. And she thinks that if Biden really wants to change white man’s culture so much, then “don’t run.”

Not much gray area for you to navigate there, Joe. You are persona non grata. Don’t know if you’ve looked in the mirror lately, and by Walsh’s usual standards, she’s being as gentle as she can be with you, but you’re the paleface of white privilege. Sucks to be you.

Because unless you are willing to be a useful idiot who knows when to shut your hole and stick to your role as everyone else gets their intersectionality on, there is really nothing left for you to do in today’s Democrat party. Everyone must be made to care in this cultural jihad, Joe. Even you.

A few months ago, I was somewhat bullish on Biden’s general election chances. High name ID, likable to the average American, and he comes from a time when sharing a country with people like me wasn’t considered a nonstarter in the Democrat Party. But that was before the opening months of the Democrat presidential primary produced the following long train of abuses and usurpations:

1. Get rid of what little border security we have, because it’s not fair to the illegals to endure hardship to come to America.

2. Get rid of insurance companies so government can control your health care instead.

3. Kill ’em all (infanticide).

4. Christians can’t serve in public office.

5. The party of anti-Semitism.

6. The Green New Deal that proves it’s not about carbon emissions, it’s about Marxism.

7. Joining the Covington Catholic lynch mob.

I could continue, but by now that’s enough to tell us this — Biden is this cycle’s Jeb Bush, a candidate running for the nomination of a party that has passed him by. But if Jeb’s cardinal sin was an uncomfortable lack of self-awareness, Biden’s is the exact opposite. He’s too self-aware of his own inadequacies. Thus his pander-a-thon is a sign of weakness, not strength.
