You Have to Be an Exceptionally Bad President to Lose Silicon Valley

/0 Comments/in , /by

You must be a deplorable president to lose one of the most reliable bases of support for Democrats: Silicon Valley. Joe Biden lost these guys, which is pathetic. It’s a cadre of billionaire leftists who would fund any Democrat to the hilt. So, what caused so much love to be lost in one term?

They hate Biden’s policies that entail the reining of cryptocurrency and new tax proposals. Yet, overall, Biden is bad for business, which hurls a rock through the glass house narrative this administration has created regarding how they’re building the greatest period of economic growth known to man. Some have voiced support for Trump, others are hosting fundraisers for the former presidents, and others are bashing Biden on social media but stopping short of endorsing Trump in this year’s cycle. Either way, the tech sector and venture capitalism have seen enough of Joe’s Build Back Better (via NY Post):

Some Silicon Valley venture capitalists have begun to turn against President Biden while openly touting their support for former President Donald Trump — a sea change for an industry that has overwhelmingly supported Democrats in years past.

Prominent moguls such as David Sacks, Chamath Palihapitiya, Marc Andreessen and Shaun Maguire have grown disillusioned with signature Biden policy proposals such as his call for a 25% “billionaire tax” as well as antitrust crackdowns waged by the Federal Trade Commission.

“It’s impossible to support Biden,” Keith Rabois, an early executive at PayPal who also played a role in the growth of LinkedIn, Square and Slide, told the New York Times.

[…]

Tech executives are also unhappy with the stringent regulations imposed on the cryptocurrency sector by Gary Gensler, Biden’s pick to head the Securities and Exchange Commission.

New Court Document Raises Serious Questions About Secret Service Involvement in Hunter Biden Gun Case

/1 Comment/in , /by

An otherwise innocuous court filing is raising new questions this week over the Secret Service’s denials that agents inserted themselves into the Hunter Biden gun case.

Days before the 2020 election, Blaze News reported that Secret Service agents visited the Delaware gun shop — StarQuest Shooters & Survival Supply — where Hunter Biden purchased a .38 caliber handgun in October 2018. During that transaction, Hunter allegedly lied on an ATF 4473 form about being a drug user. . .

Citing sources with “firsthand knowledge of the episode,” Politico reported that Secret Service agents approached the gun store owner, Ron Palimere, about two weeks after Hunter’s firearm transaction, requesting the paperwork involved in the sale.

At the time, the Secret Service denied any involvement in the incident.

More than three years later, special counsel David Weiss — who is preparing to prosecute the first son for allegedly lying on that ATF form — filed new evidentiary documents ahead of Hunter’s trial next month.

Biden’s Next Big Nightmare Could Be Brewing in Aftermath of Federal Sex Scandal

/1 Comment/in , , /by

Within a 234-page report on the workplace at the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) is what could be the next big headache President Joe Biden will have to face ahead of the 2024 election.

Following a 2023 Wall Street Journal report detailing widespread sexual harassment in the workplace, law firm Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton was tapped with investigating the FDIC. Their May 7 report details how 500 individuals, close to one-in-ten employees at the entire agency, reported experiencing “sexual harassment, discrimination, and other interpersonal misconduct” in the workplace to the firm’s tip line.

In the aftermath of the report, Biden-nominated FDIC Chairman Martin Gruenberg resigned, but the scandal could continue to cause trouble for the president as he battles low poll numbers, experts told the Daily Caller.

“Joe Biden had a chance to take a bold action and show he cares about how women are treated in the workplace and cares about whistleblowers. But he cowardly hid behind his press secretary, who completely forgot this pledge that Biden had made to fire anybody who acted in this way,” Republican strategist Mark R. Weaver told the Daily Caller.

When he took office, Biden publicly promised to fire anyone he worked with who “treated another colleague with disrespect.” (Read more from “Biden’s Next Big Nightmare Could Be Brewing in Aftermath of Federal Sex Scandal” HERE)

Joe Biden Says the Quiet Part Out Loud About the Election

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Joe Biden has finally said what millions of Americans are thinking: that former President Donald Trump will win the 2024 election.

“We cannot win this reelection.. we can only reelect Donald Trump!” Biden said while speaking to a group of rallygoers in Missouri.

Recent polls show that Trump leads Biden in key battleground states including Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.

Trump holds 48 percent of the vote in these crucial states, while Biden has just 44 percent.

It is important to note that Biden won several key battleground states in 2020, including Arizona. However, flash forward to today, Trump is on track to securing the majority of the votes. (Read more from “Joe Biden Says the Quiet Part Out Loud About the Election” HERE)

Hunter Biden’s Infamous Laptop — Which the Post Exposed and He Denied — Will Be Used as Evidence in Gun Case

/2 Comments/in , /by

So much for having “all the hallmarks” of Russian disinformation. So much for “it could be that I was hacked.”

Almost four full years after Big Tech suppressed The Post’s bombshell reporting on Hunter Biden’s abandoned “laptop from hell” with its evidence of influence-peddling, drug use, and other lurid activity, the device will take center stage in the first son’s federal trial on gun charges next month.

Special counsel David Weiss’ team made clear that it intends to use data from the notorious hard drive as evidence against the now-54-year-old.

“The defendant’s laptop is real (it will be introduced as a trial exhibit) and it contains significant evidence of the defendant’s guilt,” prosecutor Derek Hines wrote in a scathing filing Wednesday.

Hines underscored that the laptop data the special counsel will reference is “self-authenticating” and will be “introduced with corroborating evidence at trial.” (Read more from “Hunter Biden’s Infamous Laptop — Which the Post Exposed and He Denied — Will Be Used as Evidence in Gun Case” HERE)

Biden Cancels More Than $7 Billion in Student Debt for 160,000 People

/1 Comment/in , /by

President Joe Biden revealed that his administration will be canceling more than $7 billion in student debt for 160,000 people.

The White House issued a statement Wednesday announcing that 160,000 people in the United States would have their student loans canceled, erasing a total of $7.7 billion in student debt for those people.

In June 2023, the Supreme Court issued a 6-3 decision to block Biden’s plan to cancel $430 billion in student loan debt for almost 40 million people.

“Today, my Administration is canceling student debt for 160,000 more people, bringing the total number of Americans who have benefitted from our debt relief actions to 4.75 million,” Biden said in the statement. “Each of those borrowers has received an average of over $35,000 in debt cancellation.”

Biden explained that the 160,000 people who were having their student debt forgiven were people working as teachers, nurses, or even in law enforcement who had enrolled in the Biden administration’s Saving on a Valuable Education (SAVE) Plan.

‘Sleeping on a Car Smoking Crack’: Prosecutors Cite Texts Showing Hunter Biden Allegedly Lied on Gun Form

/0 Comments/in , /by

Prosecutors revealed on Monday night evidence they intend to introduce to prove their claim that Hunter Biden lied about his drug usage on a federal gun purchase form in 2018, including 75 pages of text messages highlighting his struggle with addiction.

Ahead of the trial scheduled for June 3 in Wilmington, Delaware, prosecutors told the judge evidence they intend to introduce and witnesses they plan to call, including multiple women with whom he had relationships. Text messages included with the filing show arguments about him getting sober, discussion of drug use and photos of drugs or him smoking crack.

“I was sleeping on a car smoking crack on 4th street and Rodney,” Hunter Biden wrote in one October 14, 2018 message.

The day before, October 13, 2018, he wrote he was “off MD Av behind blue rocks stadium waiting for a dealer.”

Though unnamed in prosecutors’ filing, descriptions make it clear witnesses include Hallie Biden, the widow of his brother Beau Biden, and Kathleen Buhle, his ex-wife.

Biden Bizarrely Suggests He Was VP During Pandemic in Latest Blunder

/1 Comment/in , /by

President Biden declared Sunday that things got “kind of bad” when he was vice president during the COVID-19 pandemic — even though the virus hit more than three years after he left office.

The 81-year-old Biden, who finished his eight years as Barack Obama’s veep in January 2017, suggested he was still in post at the time of the outbreak during a campaign event with the NAACP.

“When I was vice president, things were kind of bad during the pandemic and what happened was, Barack said to me, ‘Go to Detroit! Help fix it,’” Biden said.

“Well, the poor mayor, he’s spent more time with me than he ever thought he’s gonna have to!” the president added.

It is unclear what event Biden was actually referring to in his remarks, though the then-VP claimed in 2011 the Obama administration had saved America’s auto industry from “the brink of extinction” following the 2008 financial crisis.

Biden Corrects Himself for Saying Hostage ‘Being Held by Hamas’ Is Safe (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Joe Biden immediately corrected another gaffe during a speech on Monday in which he falsely claimed that an American hostage “being held by Hamas” is now safe.

The president issued his gaffe during a celebration of Jewish heritage at the White House wherein he acknowledged Hersh Goldberg-Polin as being “here with us today” even though he remains held by Hamas.

“My administration is working around the clock to free the remaining hostages, just as we have freed hostages already. And here with us today is Hersh Goldberg-Polin,” Biden said at the rose garden party.

The president immediately corrected himself, saying, “He is not here with us, but he is still being held by Hamas.”

As the New York Post noted, dual Israeli citizen Goldberg-Polin “is among the five known Americans still held by Hamas terrorists after being kidnapped from southern Israel on Oct. 7.” (Read more from “Biden Corrects Himself for Saying Hostage ‘Being Held by Hamas’ Is Safe” HERE)

Biden Team Makes Pathetic Attempt at Trolling Trump, Claims He Froze During Speech

/0 Comments/in , /by

You get the sense that the brain trust—if one can call it that—over at the Biden campaign is starting to panic as his reelection looks to be increasingly in peril. His poll numbers are terrible against his opponent Donald Trump, and virtually every public appearance is marked by lies, slurred speech and aimless wandering.

You could really feel their desperation in their attempt to claim that it was actually Trump who slurs and freezes during speeches. The team posted a video Sunday of the former president and presumptive GOP nominee speaking at the National Rifle Association (NRA) on Saturday. In the post, the Biden/Harris HQ Twitter account wrote that “Trump starts playing QAnon music during his bizarre slur-filled NRA speech.” . . .

Trump does take a long pause as the music swells, but it certainly looks nothing like a “freeze.” He doesn’t appear to be confused, or looking for words, or unsure what to do next. This by the way occurred after he’d already been speaking for an hour. In other words, the Biden team’s take is completely disingenuous. . .

Meanwhile, a post from a site called Biden’s Wins, who tout themselves as “The largest online community of President Biden’s supporters,” reposted the video and wrote, “BREAKING: Donald Trump just glitched out and froze at his rally tonight. He is clearly unfit for office. Retweet so every American knows Trump is senile.”

Trump didn’t take long to respond, pointing out in a Truth Social post that it’s actually Biden who “freezes all the time, can’t put two sentences together, and can rarely find his way off the stage without help.” This, to me, seems a more effective line of attack than Biden’s because we’ve all seen exactly what Trump is talking about.
