Biden Makes Unexpected, Incredible Admission About His Inflation Reduction Act

President Biden admitted Thursday that Democrats’ signature Inflation Reduction Act wasn’t as much about actually reducing the then-record-high inflation facing the nation as he originally touted to the American people.

“I wish I hadn’t called it that. It has less to do with reducing inflation than it does providing for alternatives that generate economic growth,” Biden said during an appearance at a campaign fundraiser in Park City, Utah according to the press pool report.

“And so, we’re now in a situation where if you take a look at what we’re doing in the Inflation Reduction Act, we’re literally reducing the cost of people being able to make their — meet their basic needs,” Biden said.

“Even when there is inflation there is a way to provide breathing room,” he added, citing negotiating medical prices as one example.

Biden’s comments are a sharp turn from what he said in July 2022 ahead of the Inflation Reduction Act’s passage through Congress on a party line vote. (Read more from “Biden Makes Unexpected, Incredible Admission About His Inflation Reduction Act” HERE)

Table for Greed: Inside the Secret Restaurant Lair Where Joe Biden Met Hunter’s Cronies

After a half-century working in the “swamp,” Joe Biden knows how to play hide-and-seek.

So when the then vice-president of the United States had clandestine dinner meetings with some of his troubled son Hunter’s cronies, he did so in a very private room at his favorite Washington, DC, restaurant, Café Milano.

According to records found on Hunter Biden’s laptop, a dinner with Vadym Pozharskyi, an executive of the Ukrainian energy company Burisma, took place in the restaurant’s Garden Room in April of 2015.

The Bidens are also said to have met with Kazakh oligarch Kenes Rakishev and former Kazakhstan prime minister Karim Massimov at Milano.

A source told The Post that Biden, who usually eats at Table 100, has also used the pricey Italian eatery’s private Wine Room on the second floor. (Read more from “Table for Greed: Inside the Secret Restaurant Lair Where Joe Biden Met Hunter’s Cronies” HERE)

Biden’s $40 Billion Emergency Spending Request Gives $13 Billion More in Military Aid to Ukraine

President Biden asked Congress on Thursday for $40 billion in emergency spending through the end of this year, including $24 billion more for Ukraine — funding that would sidestep recently enacted budget caps and set up a clash with Republicans over more aid for Kyiv’s war against Russia.

The proposed Ukraine aid includes $13.1 billion for military assistance and replenishing Defense Department stockpiles depleted by the war effort. Also proposed is $200 million to counter the “destabilizing” impact of the Wagner Group, whose thousands of mercenaries have been a key part of Russia’s ground war.

The president requested another $4 billion for enforcement at the southern U.S. border, although administration officials say Mr. Biden’s border plan works. A $12 billion request for disaster relief includes extended pay for firefighters battling wildfires.

The U.S. has spent roughly $100 billion on the war in Eastern Europe, and polls show eroding American support for the growing overseas commitment of taxpayer dollars.

“The administration is requesting supplemental security, economic and humanitarian assistance funding that would support Ukraine as well as countries and vulnerable populations worldwide impacted by Russia’s unprovoked and brutal invasion of Ukraine,” White House Office of Management and Budget Director Shalanda D. Young told House Speaker Kevin McCarthy in a letter Thursday. (Read more from “Biden’s $40 Billion Emergency Spending Request Gives $13 Billion More in Military Aid to Ukraine” HERE)

Biden Says He’s Traveled ‘Tens of Thousands of Miles’ Across War Zones

President Joe Biden claimed Thursday that he traveled “tens of thousands of miles” in war zones while speaking to veterans in Utah.

Biden made the comments during a three-day trip to Arizona, New Mexico and Utah to tout his policy accomplishments, during which he signed an order declaring a national monument around the Grand Canyon Tuesday, barring new uranium mining projects. “There is no difference between having a mental health problem and breaking your arm or your leg,” Biden said.

“No difference. And you should not be worried about, asking for help, any more than you would if you broke your leg. There‘s nothing to be ashamed of in seeking that help,” Biden continued. “Think about this: I don‘t know how many in my tens of thousands of miles that I‘ve traveled through war zones, I don‘t know anybody who would not wonder whether or not what these veterans have seen cause post-traumatic stress — its enormous. It‘s an enormous problem.” (Read more from “Biden Says He’s Traveled ‘Tens of Thousands of Miles’ Across War Zones” HERE)

Hunter Biden’s ‘Sugar Brother’ Attorney Could Be on the Hook Next

Entanglements with President Joe Biden’s embattled son Hunter Biden could potentially bring down high-powered California attorney Kevin Morris — who was recently spotted reportedly smoking a bong on the balcony of his Malibu home.

Morris, a longtime Democrat donor who was best known for throwing money around in Hollywood — helping to broker a licensing deal for “South Park,” among other things — has been linked to Hunter Biden since 2019 in what the New York Post called “more of a bromance than an attorney-client relationship.”

According to the Post’s report, Morris earned a reputation as Hunter’s “Sugar Brother” — in addition to allegedly acting as a “fixer” for the president’s son, Morris may have assisted in marketing and selling some of his paintings and reportedly loaned him the money when he needed to pay back $2 million in federal tax debt.

But his relationship with the younger Biden could potentially get him into trouble with the California State Bar. (Read more from “Hunter Biden’s ‘Sugar Brother’ Attorney Could Be on the Hook Next” HERE)

FBI Gunned Down Utah Man Accused of Threatening Joe Biden; Who Was Craig Robertson? What We Know About the Armed Trump Supporter Shot Dead in Raid

By Breitbart. The FBI gunned down a Utah man accused of making death threats against President Joe Biden during a raid on his home on Wednesday morning.

Seventy-five-year-old Craig Deleeuw Robertson was being charged with three counts of interstate threats, threats against the president, and influencing, impeding, and retaliating against federal law enforcement officers by threat, according to a criminal complaint. . .

“PERHAPS UTAH WILL BECOME FAMOUS THIS WEEK AS THE PLACE A SNIPER TOOK OUT BIDEN THE MARXIST,” one of his Facebook posts allegedly read.

“IN MY DREAM I SEE JOE BIDEN’S BODY IN A DARK CORNER OF A DC PARKING GARAGE WITH HIS HEAD SEVERED AND LYING IN A HUGE PUDDLE OF BLOOD. HOORAH,” another post said. . .

The FBI deemed these threats “credible,” and attempted to serve arrest and search warrants at Robertson’s home in Provo, Utah, but ended up shooting and killing him around 6:15 a.m. local time. (Read more from “FBI Gunned Down Utah Man Accused of Threatening Joe Biden” HERE)

Who Was Craig Robertson? What We Know About the Armed Trump Supporter Shot Dead in Utah FBI Raid

By New York Post. The Utah man shot dead by FBI agents Wednesday morning after making online assassination threats to President Biden and other top Democrats was a staunch Donald Trump supporter, Air Force veteran, Second Amendment advocate and twice-widowed father of three adult children. . .

The registered Republican and self-proclaimed “MAGA Trumper” wrote online Sunday that he heard Biden was coming to Utah so he was digging out his camouflage hunting suit and “cleaning the dust off the M24 sniper rifle.”

Robertson had a collection of firearms that he frequently showed off in photos posted to his social media profiles, where he described himself as an “Air Force Vietnam Era vet, retired welding inspector, gunsmith and woodworker. NRA Life Member, 2A advocate and owner of many AR rifles + many other rifles, shotguns, and handguns.” . . .

Clark said Robertson was an “established icon” in their neighborhood and was often outspoken about his political views.

“He was a boomer, and he was very political and sometimes made off-color jokes … but nothing that indicated it was a threat,” he said, adding that he was “frail of health.” (Read more from “Who Was Craig Robertson? What We Know About the Armed Trump Supporter Shot Dead in Utah FBI Raid” HERE)

Biden Rips Reporter’s ‘Lousy Question’ About Speakerphone Calls With Hunter

President Biden insisted Wednesday that he “never talked business with anybody” after his son Hunter’s former business partner Devon Archer told Congress last week that he was on speakerphone during roughly 20 business meetings and even met his son’s foreign patrons at in-person events.

“There’s this testimony now where one of your son’s former business associates is claiming that you were on speakerphone a lot with them, talking business,” Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy told Biden after a wind-power event in New Mexico.

“I never talked business with anybody. I knew you’d have a lousy question,” Biden scoffed.

“Why is that a lousy question?” Doocy asked.

“Because it’s not true,” the president replied as he walked away. (Read more from “Biden Rips Reporter’s ‘Lousy Question’ About Speakerphone Calls With Hunter” HERE)

Biden Admin Secretly Encouraged Overthrow of Leader Who Wasn’t Pro-Ukraine Enough, Leaked Cable Reveals

President Joe Biden’s administration’s diplomats encouraged Pakistani political leaders to remove former Prime Minister Imran Khan from office after he hesitated to criticize Russia for its war against Ukraine, according to a new report on Wednesday.

Imran Khan was removed from office in April 2022 after a controversial vote of no-confidence by the Pakistani National Assembly. On March 7, 2022, officials from the Department of State met with Pakistan’s then-Ambassador to the United States Asad Majeed Khan and encouraged Imran Khan’s removal from office after he visited Russia shortly after it began hostilities in Ukraine, according to a diplomatic cable that was published by The Intercept.

“I think if the no-confidence vote against the Prime Minister succeeds, all will be forgiven in Washington,” said Donald Lu, the Assistant Secretary of State for South and Central Asian Affairs, according to the cable. “[T]he Russia visit is being looked at as a decision by the Prime Minister.”

Lu claimed that Imran Khan’s visit had damaged the Pakistan-U.S. bilateral relationship and that, absent Khan’s ouster, relations “will be tough going ahead,” the cable shows.

House Oversight Releases Memo Alleging Hunter Biden Received Millions From Oligarchs

House Republicans fired another salvo at President Joe Biden on Wednesday with a memo discussing how money from foreign sources made its way to his family, raising concerns about influence peddling and U.S. national security.

A new memo compiled by GOP staff on the House Oversight Committee focused mainly on Biden’s son, Hunter, who has drawn intense scrutiny over a federal criminal investigation. It comes after House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) recently said the congressional probe into the Biden family’s finances is “rising to the level” of an impeachment inquiry, while Democrats argue Republicans have not produced any evidence showing the president received any foreign money directly. The elder Biden himself has called allegations of corruption “a bunch of malarkey.”

According to the memo, bank records show that oligarchs from Russia, Ukraine, and Kazakhstan paid millions of dollars to Hunter Biden, his Rosemont Seneca entities, and his business partner Devon Archer — in some cases for work services (such as his board role at Ukrainian energy company Burisma Holdings), in other cases less clear — mainly a time when Joe Biden was vice president.

“It appears no real services were provided other than access to the Biden network, including Joe Biden himself. And Hunter Biden seems to have delivered,” Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-KY) said in a statement. “This is made clear,” Comer added, by meals at Café Milano in Washington, D.C., where then-Vice President Joe Biden “dined with oligarchs from around the world who had sent money to his son.” (Read more from “House Oversight Releases Memo Alleging Hunter Biden Received Millions From Oligarchs” HERE)

Putin Handed His Political Rival a Lighter Sentence Than Biden Wants to Give Trump

Russian President Vladimir Putin’s primary political rival, Alexei Navalny, was just banished to 19 years in prison after Russia’s corrupt state prosecution demanded a 20-year sentence. Navalny, who has been hyper-critical of Putin’s invasion of Ukraine, has been incarcerated since January 2021, and this latest 19-year sentence is on top of two separate sentences amounting to over 11 years in prison.

However, Navalny’s prison sentence pales in comparison to the prison time President Joe Biden’s DOJ and the partisan stooges in the Manhattan district attorney’s office want to hand former President Donald Trump. Trump, Biden’s primary political opponent, has been indicted three times now. If convicted of all counts and given the maximum sentence, he would face 641 years in prison. In addition to being the most likely Republican nominee for the 2024 election, Trump also happens to be one of the most vocal and fierce critics of American involvement in the Ukraine war under Biden.

With zero self-awareness, Biden administration officials have condemned the imprisonment of Navalny, while simultaneously interfering in our own elections via the political persecution of Trump by Biden’s Justice Department.

Last Friday, one day after Trump was arraigned for engaging in First Amendment-protected speech, U.S. State Department spokesman Matthew Miller decried Navalny’s 19-year prison sentence, writing in a statement that it was “an unjust conclusion to an unjust trial.” (Read more from “Putin Handed His Political Rival a Lighter Sentence Than Biden Wants to Give Trump” HERE)
