Biden Takes Apology Tour to Turkish, Muslim Brotherhood-Loving Erdogan

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Obama administration’s years-long international apology tour continues with its latest stop in Turkey, where Vice President Joe Biden expressed regret to Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan that he couldn’t have come to the Islamist strongman’s aid sooner after the failed coup last month.

“The American people stand with you; we’ve stood with you from the beginning,” Biden said at a joint news conference the nation’s capital, Ankara. Barack Obama was one of the first people to call. But I do apologize, I wish I could have been here earlier.”

This is, of course, the same Islamist strongman who’s imprisoned tens of thousands of citizens during the country’s political unrest and has been accused of a laundry list of human rights violations, including torture, a crackdown on freedom of the press, and the subversion of the rule of law.

As expected, Biden avoided public criticism of the recent purge, in which The New York Times reported almost 9,000 police officers have been fired, a third of the country’s private school teachers have been suspended, and over 10,000 soldiers have been detained.

Rather, during his time in the Middle Eastern nation, “Biden [was] expected to emphasize to Turkish officials that the purge was damaging perceptions of Turkey within the U.S., Europe and the business community,” an unnamed U.S. official told Bloomberg News.

This meeting-and-apology move is obviously an attempt to keep a finally-engaged Turkey involved in regional efforts against ISIS, which did far more harm than good as the insurgency gained ground after its precipitous rise to power in 2014.

As I have previously written:

Erdogan’s tenure in control of the country began in 2003, when he became prime minister and has continued through his assumption of the office of president in 2014. During this time, he has gained a reputation as a strongman politician who is cozy with the Muslim Brotherhood, and bent on Islamizing Turkey. Additionally, he’s been roundly criticized for his compliance in the rise of ISIS, stemming from a willful blindness to the insurgent threat. In fact, it’s almost impossible to imagine a rise of ISIS without a poorly-managed Turkish border allowing both the influx of foreign fighters to enter the so-called caliphate, while allowing smuggled oil and antiquities to come out.

In fact, Biden’s last public apology to his “old friend” was in direct connection to Turkey’s complacency in regard to ISIS’ rise. In 2014, he called Erdogan and publicly apologized for implying that the Turkish president’s inactions were partially responsible for strengthening the jihadist organization’s presence in the region.

Nonetheless, the Obama administration is making sure that it’s on record propping up the Muslim Brotherhood-loving, ISIS-complicit strongman, who will be more than emboldened to continue turning his country into a Sunni version of Iran.

This, of course, all lines up with the Obama administration’s past. It offered outspoken support for former Egyptian president Muhammad Morsi (a former Muslim Brotherhood member) during the North African country’s 2013 revolution and other policies that abetted the growth of the jihadist presence in other areas of the continent. And all that is not to mention former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s abysmal China policy that signaled to the country’s communist government that its egregious religious freedom violations would go unchallenged.

But that’s the Obama Doctrine for you. (For more from the author of “Biden Takes Apology Tour to Turkish, Muslim Brotherhood-Loving Erdogan” please click HERE)

Serbs Greet Biden With Chants of ‘Vote for Trump!’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Serbian protesters greeted Vice President Joseph R. Biden Tuesday with derisive chants of “Vote for Trump!”

Hundreds of demonstrators in Belgrade, the Serbian capital, chanted for the U.S. Republican presidential nominee upon Mr. Biden’s arrival, Reuters reported.

The demonstrators were Serbian ultranationalists protesting Mr. Biden’s one-day stop in Belgrade before his visit to Kosovo. They also wore shirts displaying an image of Mr. Trump.

“Trump is the alternative to globalization,” Vojislav Seselj, head of Serbia’s ultra-nationalist Radical Party, told Reuters when asked about supporting Mr. Trump. “He will destroy old centers of power in the United States and he is a supporter of Russia.” (Read more from “Serbs Greet Biden With Chants of ‘Vote for Trump!'” HERE)

Talk of an Assassination? Limbaugh Recalls What Clinton and Biden Said in 2008 Race

/0 Comments/in , , /by

While Democrats are busily chastising Donald Trump for calling American gun-owners to action in the upcoming election, Rush Limbaugh has uncovered a rather stunning clip of Hillary Clinton insinuating something far worse back in 2008.

The comments were made in May of that year, while Clinton was discussing her 2008 primary fight against then-Sen. Barack Obama.

Even though Clinton only trailed Obama by roughly 150 pledged delegates at that time, there were some who were saying she should have dropped out of the race and concede the nomination to Obama.

“Between my opponent and some in the media, uh, there has been this urgency to end this. You know, my husband did not wrap up the nomination in 1992 until he won the California primary somewhere in the middle of the June,” said Clinton.

“We all remember Bobby Kennedy was assassinated in June in California. I don’t understand it,” Clinton added, which some people at the time took to mean the possibility of an Obama assassination made it practical for her to say in the race.

“What do you think that’s a reference to?” Limbaugh asked Tuesday. “They’re urging her to get out of the race, and Obama’s got an insurmountable lead, and she says, ‘No, Bobby Kennedy was assassinated in June, and it’s not even June yet! It’s May here. So somebody may be assassinated in June. So I’m staying in!

“I mean, folks, what Trump said yesterday doesn’t even compare, and I doubt that hardly anybody’s aware that Hillary even said this back in 2008. We played the audio; that’s why we got the clip,” he said.

Limbaugh pointed out that another high-profile Democrat has made a reference to people taking his guns that seems to have been forgotten.

“And, by the way, here’s one more from Vice President Bite Me (Biden). September 20th of 2008 — this is before the election — he’s out there in Castlewood, Virginia, at a campaign event and, as part of his remarks, Vice President Bite Me blurted out this,” said Limbaugh, who proceeded to play audio of Joe Biden from 2008.

“I guarantee ya, Barack Obama ain’t taking my shotguns! So don’t buy that malarkey! Don’t buy that malarkey! They’re gonna start peddlin’ that to ya! I got two! If he tries to fool with my Beretta, he’s got a problem,” said an irate Joe Biden out on the campaign trail.

Biden’s comment seemed to imply a willingness to use lethal force — should the president try to take his guns — and even doubled down on his comments by expressing his proficiency with firearms.

“I like that little over-and-under, you know. I’m not bad with it. So give me a break,” said Biden, waving his hands while shouting.

“OK, now, what is that?” asked Limbaugh. “Well, all that is is a Second Amendment guy. He might have been impersonating one but that’s a Second Amendment guy saying, ‘You’re not taking my guns, dude!’”

“So he’s even alluding to the fact that if Barack Obama comes for his guns, his Beretta is coming out. So who’s Biden talking about shooting here? So you got Biden and you’ve got Hillary both talking about actually shooting somebody, or somebody being shot with guns, something that Trump did not do,” he concluded.

Hillary Slips After ‘Creepy’ Hug From Biden

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Vice President Joe Biden, who is notorious for his inability to keep his hands to himself in public, just shared a ridiculously long hug with none other than Hillary Clinton . . .

Biden grabbed Mrs. Clinton around the waist and held on for nearly 20 seconds, while Clinton squirmed and patted his arm several times . . .

As luck would have it, Biden got another opportunity later in the day to cozy up to Clinton when she briefly lost her footing while stepping down from the podium following her campaign speech.

Clinton has a history of falling. After fainting and falling in 2013 while U.S. secretary of state, she was treated for a blood clot in a vein in her head at NewYork-Presbyterian/Columbia hospital . . .

Photos, published by the Reuters and Getty news agencies, show Clinton, 68, receiving help as she tries to ascend a staircase in front of a home. The images were actually taken in February when the former first lady was campaigning for president in South Carolina, as WND reported.

PIC: Say, I Wonder If Joe Biden’s Had Any Work Done

With no disrespect to the LGBTQ community intended, I must say that the dumbest Vice President in American history looks like a transgendered version of Nancy Pelosi.

160728-joe-biden

As an aside, I’ve been listening to bits and pieces of the Democrat convention and have yet to hear a single true statement uttered. They’re gonna protect our borders (right), destroy ISIS (sure), fix the economy (mmm hmmm), and serve as squeaky clean public servants (rimshot, please).

Everything these leftist kooks say is a lie — and that includes the words and, the and or. (For more from the author of “PIC: Say, I Wonder If Joe Biden’s Had Any Work Done” please click HERE)

Joe Says No: Biden Won’t Run, a Boost for Clinton

/0 Comments/in , /by

After months of tortured indecision, Vice President Joe Biden said Wednesday he won’t be a candidate in the 2016 White House campaign, solidifying Hillary Rodham Clinton’s status as the Democratic front-runner and the party’s likely heir to President Barack Obama’s legacy.

Standing under bright sun in the White House Rose Garden, Biden spoke movingly about mourning the recent death of his son, Beau, a process he said does not match the political calendar. While he said his family was emotionally prepared to undertake a grueling presidential campaign, they arrived at that decision too late for him to mount a credible bid for a job that has long been the north star of his political ambitions . . .

Biden’s decision puts to rest the uncertainty hanging over the Democratic primary. The race now will likely settle into a two-person contest between Clinton and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, who has energized the party’s liberal base but lacks Clinton’s campaign infrastructure and support from party leaders.

You’ll Never Guess Who Biden Is More Electable Than, According to This Poll

/0 Comments/in , /by

Vice President Joe Biden trails Hillary Clinton for the Democratic nomination, yet he looks more electable than the former secretary of state against top Republicans.

As Democrats prepare for their first debate Tuesday evening, the latest Fox News national poll finds little movement in the primary. Clinton remains the front-runner among Democratic primary voters (45 percent), with Bernie Sanders (25 percent) and Biden (19 percent) behind her by about 20 percentage points. That’s almost identical to where things stood three weeks ago . . .

In hypothetical 2016 matchups with top-tier Republicans, Clinton trails all the Republicans tested. She trails Ben Carson by 11 points and Donald Trump by 5 points. Jeb Bush has a 4-point edge over Clinton, while Carly Fiorina is up by 3 points.

Biden fares better. He leads Trump by 13 points and tops Bush by 5 points. Biden is preferred over both Fiorina and Carson by 4 points. And Biden narrowly bests Marco Rubio by 1 point.

Though Clinton still dominates the Democratic primary race, the new poll confirms a significant decline in her support since summer. In June, her lead over Sanders was double what it is today (61 percent Clinton vs. 15 percent Sanders). And instead of trailing Trump by 5 points, she topped him by 17 points. Clinton was also up by 6 points over Fiorina then, while she’s down by 3 now. (Read more from “You’ll Never Guess Who Biden Is More Electable Than, According to This Poll” HERE)

Biden Himself Leaked Word of His Son’s Dying Wish

/3 Comments/in , /by

Joe Biden has been making his 2016 deliberations all about his late son since August.

Aug. 1, to be exact — the day renowned Hillary Clinton-critic Maureen Dowd published a column that marked a turning point in the presidential speculation.

According to multiple sources, it was Biden himself who talked to her, painting a tragic portrait of a dying son, Beau’s face partially paralyzed, sitting his father down and trying to make him promise to run for president because “the White House should not revert to the Clintons and that the country would be better off with Biden values.”

It was no coincidence that the preliminary pieces around a prospective campaign started moving right after that column. People read Dowd and started reaching out, those around the vice president would say by way of defensive explanation. He was just answering the phone and listening.

But in truth, Biden had effectively placed an ad in The New York Times, asking them to call. (Read more from “Biden Himself Leaked Word of His Son’s Dying Wish” HERE)

Draft Biden Official: ‘I Am 100 Percent That Joe Is in’

/1 Comment/in , /by

biden_double_guns_APWhen Josh Alcorn joined the Draft Biden super PAC, MSNBC headlined its story on the move “Draft Biden just got real.” Alcorn had been finance director and senior adviser to the late Beau Biden, the vice president’s son, and had worked as finance director for Harry Reid as well. Judging from phone conversations Alcorn had on an Amtrak train from New York to Wilmington yesterday, the Biden campaign is about to get still more real.

Another passenger said that Alcorn was being loud enough in the café car to make it hard to work. He said that Alcorn had said on one call, “I am 100 percent that Joe is in.” He was less certain of when Biden would announce, but guessed it would be in mid-October. Alcorn’s own plans to travel to California in early October would have to be canceled if Biden announced earlier.

The other passenger said that Alcorn said that test ads were doing well in converting Hillary Clinton supporters to Biden supporters, and that money had been lined up to come in right before the announcement. He had just had breakfast with Jim Torrey, an Obama bundler, whom he described as wanting to be “the Penny Pritzker” of the Biden campaign. Pritzker was the national finance chair of Obama’s 2008 campaign and is now the Secretary of Commerce. (Read more from “Draft Biden Official: ‘I Am 100 Percent That Joe Is in'” HERE)

Democrats Divided: Biden Dispatched to Hill to Twist Arms on Iran Deal

/2 Comments/in , /by

The White House dispatched Vice President Joe Biden to Capitol Hill Wednesday to sell Democrats on the newly announced Iran nuclear deal, as several influential members voiced reservations about giving it their seal of approval in a vital vote this fall.

Biden was meeting first with House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi, though the tougher lift may be on the Senate side. In the aftermath of the deal announcement in Vienna, senior Democratic senators made clear they were withholding judgment.

“We’re basically legitimizing Iran’s nuclear program,” Sen. Bob Menendez, D-N.J., told Fox News, voicing concerns about what Tehran gets in return, including the likely lifting of an arms embargo and leverage over the timing of certain nuclear inspections.

“At the end of the day, the challenge here is that 10 to 12 years from now, does Iran have a pathway towards a full industrial-sized nuclear program and the possibility of breaking out to a weapon? And if so, all you’ve done is delayed the question of Iran’s nuclear ambitions.”

Menendez is a leading skeptic but plenty more are staying on the sidelines and could face more pressure from constituents during the August recess. (Read more from “Democrats Divided: Biden Dispatched to Hill to Twist Arms on Iran Deal” HERE)
