/0 Comments/in , , /by

Joe Biden is the Democratic Party’s nominee. . .Biden lost in American Samoa to Jason Palmer—who the hell is that—who got 51 votes over the president’s 40. Yeah, only 91 people voted over there (via The Hill):

Democrat Jason Palmer, a entrepreneur running a long-shot bid against the incumbent, was projected to win the U.S. territory’s Democratic race.

Palmer has reportedly qualified for the presidential ballot in just 16 states and territories, according to a release from the campaign through PRNewswire.

Biden Reportedly Pushing His Aides To Let Him Be Himself Ahead Of Election

/2 Comments/in , /by

President Joe Biden is pushing his aides to let him be himself ahead of the 2024 election, staffers and people close to the president told The New York Times (NYT).

As Biden battles concerns about his age, the president and those around him are considering a new strategy that would involve letting “Joe be Joe” and interact with the American people more frequently, according to The NYT. As a part of the strategy, the White House has worked on getting Biden outside of Washington, D.C., to participate in one-on-one experiences with voters and to engage on social media, The NYT reported.

“I have been saying for several months to the campaign, ‘Please, let him be Joe Biden,’ and so have many others,” Democratic Delaware Sen. Chris Coons told the outlet.

In a February social media clip, Biden reacted to a video of former President Donald Trump comparing himself to late Russian opposition leader Aleksei Navalny. Rob Flaherty, a top advisor to the president, told The NYT that Biden came up with the idea for the video himself.

“That came from his brain,” Flaherty told the outlet. (Read more from “Biden Reportedly Pushing His Aides To Let Him Be Himself Ahead Of Election” HERE)

Joe Biden Can’t Be Bothered to Speak to the People Who Work for Him

/3 Comments/in , /by

For someone who is supposed to be running the United States government, President Joe Biden doesn’t seem to interact much with those working for him or know what they are doing.

A few weeks removed from the Pentagon hiding the physical condition of Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin from the president, the former chief of the U.S. Border Patrol revealed Sunday that he never once talked to Biden during his two years on the job.

“I’ve never had one conversation with the president or vice president,” Raul Ortiz, who was the chief of the Border Patrol from August 2021 until his retirement last year, said in a 60 Minutes interview Sunday. “I was the chief of the Border Patrol. I commanded 21,000 people. That’s a problem.”

No kidding it’s a problem. The president of the U.S., for two years, was either unwilling or unable to talk to the one person who commands the group of people tasked with ensuring that the U.S. border is secure and under control. All the while, a record number of illegal immigrants crossed the border and were released into the U.S. And, most disturbingly, it betrays how little Biden is involved in managing the government he was elected to lead.

Trump Nostalgia Is Here — And Endangering Biden’s Presidency

/0 Comments/in , /by

Donald Trump obviously left office on a sour note in January 2021, written off by many opinion-makers and political professionals. . .

The most remarkable phenomenon of the 2024 election cycle so far is the rise of Trump nostalgia.

It’s difficult for anyone to have a new opinion about former President Trump, who is so well-known, so in-your-face and so polarizing.

Yet people have a new, more favorable attitude toward his presidency in retrospect, certainly compared to the White House’s current occupant.

After about 36 months of President Biden, in other words, people yearn for the halcyon Trump years. (Read more from “Trump Nostalgia Is Here — And Endangering Biden’s Presidency” HERE)

Joe Biden’s ‘Sanctuary Country’ Orders Cut Loose Illegal Alien Wanted for Rape

/2 Comments/in , /by

President Joe Biden’s so-called “sanctuary country” orders ensured that an illegal alien, wanted for rape in the sanctuary state of Oregon and already ordered deported from the United States, was not immediately taken into Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody.

Juan Jose-Sebastian, a 26-year-old illegal alien from Guatemala, first arrived at the United States-Mexico border in November 2015 as an Unaccompanied Alien Child (UAC) and was subsequently released into the United States interior.

In July 2019, a federal immigration judge ordered Jose-Sebastian deported from the United States, but ICE failed to deport him. At a later date, Jose-Sebastian was charged in Washington County, Oregon, on three counts of rape and sexual assault.

Last month, Jose-Sebastian was arrested in Martin County, Florida, for driving without a license. Initially, ICE officials refused to take custody of Jose-Sebastian because he is not considered a priority for deportation under Biden’s sanctuary country orders.

Likewise, Washington County officials refused to extradite Jose-Sebastian back to Oregon to face the rape charges against him. As a result, Martin County was forced to release Jose-Sebastian from jail. (Read more from “Joe Biden’s ‘Sanctuary Country’ Orders Cut Loose Illegal Alien Wanted for Rape” HERE)

Meet The Biden Official Making Six Figures To Travel The Globe Pushing Transgenderism

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Biden administration has empowered a professional activist to travel the globe on the taxpayer’s dime to push transgenderism and gender ideology.

From Australia to Brazil, South Africa to Sweden, Jessica Stern travels across the world attending so-called Pride events as the State Department’s Special Envoy to Advance the Human Rights of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, and Intersex Persons. Stern, who has boasted that she is the highest ranking lesbian woman, is paid an annual salary of over $180,000 and tasked with promoting far-left views on sex and gender, lobbying foreign governments, and assisting activist organizations.

Appointed by President Biden in September of 2021, Stern’s work has gone largely unnoticed by the media as she bolsters the president’s broader effort to leverage the might of the federal agencies and their bureaucracies in service of a far-left agenda. In Biden’s first weeks as president, he tasked all federal agencies to work to “advance the human rights of LGBTQI+ persons abroad” — Stern has been tip of the spear in that effort, and has stated that this mission is “U.S. foreign policy priority.”

Stern’s travels as Special Envoy have taken her to at least 22 countries on all six of the world’s habitable continents, including Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Botswana, Canada, Germany, Greece, India, Lithuania, Malaysia, Mauritius, Mexico, Nepal, the Netherlands, Panama, Peru, the Philippines, South Africa, Sweden, Switzerland, Thailand, and Vietnam.

“Good foreign policy is inclusive foreign policy, and that means having senior experts on LGBTQI rights,” Stern contended in an interview with the Council on Foreign Relations.

Hunter Biden Called Father From Lavish Russian Party, Asked for Help Getting Deal ‘Over the Finish Line,’ Ex-Associate Says

/0 Comments/in , /by

Jason Galanis, a former business associate of Joe Biden’s son Hunter Biden, told Congress that Hunter routinely called his dad from meetings where foreign deals were discussed, and that a Chinese firm was interested in a partnership because it believed Joe Biden himself would join the board after leaving the vice presidency.

“The entire value add of Hunter Biden to our business was his family name and his access to his father, Vice President Joe Biden,” Galanis told the House Oversight and Judiciary Committees on February 23, according to a transcript released Monday. “Because of this access, I agreed to contribute equity ownership to them, Hunter and Devon [Archer], for no out-of-pocket cost to them in exchange for their, quote, relationship capital.”

Galanis was interviewed from prison, where he is serving time for fraud involving bilking a pension fund. Galanis said that Hunter was involved in that scheme but that prosecutors did not charge him and kept the evidence out of court. He said that after he agreed to testify to Congress, a decision to release him early from prison was reversed.

His testimony was in regards to Hunter Biden and his close friend Devon Archer, who were partners in various businesses.

“In 2014, I agreed with Hunter and Devon that the Burnham and Company enterprise would be significantly enhanced by forming a partnership with Harvest Fund Management, a $300 billion Chinese financial services company closely connected to the Chinese Communist Party,” Galanis said.

NYT Poll Spells Problems for Biden

/0 Comments/in , /by

A poll released over the weekend spells serious trouble for President Joe Biden heading into the 2024 general election.

The poll, published by The New York Times and Siena College, is considered to be the #1 overall poll out of more than several hundred, according to 538’s pollster ratings.

The overwhelming majority of respondents — 62% of men and 68% of women — said that the U.S. was headed in the “wrong direction” under Biden.

If the 2024 presidential election were held today, 48% said that they would vote for former President Donald Trump while only 43% said that they would vote for Biden; 48% said that they believe that Trump will win while only 39% said that they believe Biden will win.

Only 18% said that Biden’s policies helped them personally and 43% said that his policies hurt them personally while 40% said that Trump’s policies helped them personally and only 25% said that Trump’s policies hurt them personally. (Read more from “NYT Poll Spells Problems for Biden” HERE)

Hunter Biden’s Chinese Legal ‘Client’ Threatens to Sue Unless First Son Pays Back $1 Million

/4 Comments/in , /by

Hunter Biden was paid $1 million by Chinese firm CEFC to act as attorney for their employee, Dr Patrick Ho, but now Ho is threatening to sue the first son within seven days unless he gets the money back — because he claims Hunter did no legal work for him.

Ho sent a legal letter to Hunter last week requesting that their attorney-client agreement be terminated immediately and threatening legal action unless he receives a detailed list of services provided by Hunter and reimbursement for the unused funds, as laid out in the 2017 contract.

Ho’s letter, sent by Hong Kong law firm Huen & Partners to Hunter’s attorney Abbe Lowell in Washington, DC, set a deadline of seven days for the repayment of any remaining funds.

“Patrick says he paid him, and that Hunter never did anything for him,” a friend of Ho’s told The Post, “and that according to the contract the money should be reimbursed.”

The $1 million legal retainer was wired from CEFC in China to CEFC’s Hong Kong HSBC account, and then, on November 2, 2017, to the American bank account of Hudson West III (HWIII) the firm Hunter co-owned with CEFC, and then to Hunter’s private firm, Owasco, according to his California tax indictment.

Joe Biden Got $40K From China Funds, Brother James Admits in Bombshell Impeachment Interview

/3 Comments/in , /by

First brother James Biden confirmed during his impeachment inquiry testimony that a $40,000 check made out to former Vice President Joe Biden in 2017 used funds James received from a Chinese government-linked company — while James also revealed he received overseas income as recently as last year.

James, 74, insisted that he didn’t believe the company, CEFC China Energy, was controlled by Beijing — claiming that “I just misspoke” when telling the IRS in a 2022 interview that first son Hunter Biden, who was partnering with his uncle, had described CEFC chairman Ye Jianming as a “protégé” of Chinese President Xi Jinping.

“Where did you believe the source of the money that was going into [Hunter Biden’s company] Owasco, prior to being sent to you, was coming from?” an investigator asked James during the Feb. 21 interview, according to an official transcript released Friday.

“CEFC,” James conceded — following an extended back-and-forth in which the first brother’s attorney Paul Fishman tried to argue that “money’s fungible” before being reminded by a House staffer that James “did not have sufficient funds” to make the $40,000 alleged loan repayment on his own, “so it is traceable.”

The interview also established that James Biden received $840,000 over four transfers between November 2022 and July 2023 from Argentinian businessman Jose Luis Manzano, which the first brother said came from selling half of his stake in Manzano’s holding of Argentinian natural gas company Metrogas.
