The Morning Report — 7/21/23

hunterwilliecicci.jpg

Good morning, kids. Having politics being a pretty important interest only very late in life, I can't seem to recall any or at least many Congressional hearings before let's say the near high-tech lynching of then SCOTUS nominee Clarence Thomas being as ridiculously partisan as the IRS whistleblowers testifying against the Biden Crime Family and Pedo Ring as well as the weaponization of government hearings. It could be that I really wasn't paying all that much attention to them but the Thomas hearing sure perked my ears up.

Yes, of course it's natural for each party to be more antagonistic towards opponents and sympathetic to fellow travelers, but the levels to which the Democrats and their propagandists have gone in their desperate attempts to whitewash the decades-long graft that enriched the Bidens at the expense of our national security and interests is breathtaking.

In parallel, of course, is the complete projection and then some of their high crimes and misdemeanors onto President Trump who, say what you will about his style, personality and character foibles, is arguably the least corrupt individual to ever serve as president in nearly a century. The way in which this government is bringing the entire criminal justice system to bear on him in an effort to not only destroy him but the very movement of national revival he has engendered is horrifying beyond my capacity to describe it.

Joey "Sponge-Brain Shits-Pants" Biden on the other hand has a half-century record of not only being dead wrong about every major domestic and foreign policy issue, on top of being an outright fabulist and thuggish, lowlife goon, but as is finally coming to light to a much broader audience (the media's efforts to ignore or whitewash it notwithstanding) a record of corruption and influence-peddling that is outdone only by the Clintons.

The evidence is clear, unambiguous and massive in scope and detail, not only from Hunter Biden's laptop which two and a half years later can no longer be excused as Russian disinformation, but from government whistleblowers who have shown the FBI and DOJ refusing to investigate the Bidens. I'm no legal eagle but aside from abrogating their oaths to uphold the law, in doing so they act as de facto co-conspirators after the fact. If not before, for all we know. And we know a lot, given so many other actions they have taken on a host of other issues from the J6 false flag set-ups to the targeting of parents at school board meetings to the refusal to investigate the firebombing of churches and pregnancy crisis centers, and on and on and on.

And yet, I present to you both laughing gas and ipecac in the form of some Junta house organ talking head from NBC. First, after this Ali Vitali clown calls the whistleblowers as "so-called whistleblowers," referring to the release of the 1023 form by Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) on the Bidens and Ukraine, she blows this moist cloud of flatus at the audience:

“This is pretty dense reading, and I’m sure that you guys went through this immediately, too. Because this is a document that we’ve really been waiting to see for a while here now, the long-fabled 1023 form that Grassley has long pointed to as a potential smoking gun implicating then-Vice President Joe Biden in the dealings with Burisma and his son Hunter. Of course, Democrats would be quick to point out that that’s not what this document does. And frankly, in reading it, there are even some things that could be lost in translation between the Russian that was being spoken by this informant with the sources that he’s referring to and the translation of that Russian. So, it’s not exactly a clean win or loss for anyone.”

Brilliant! The Willie Cicci gambit! "The Family had a lot of buffers!" Never mind a smoking nuclear Howitzer of bribes and extortion, "The meaning of the document could be lost in translation." Well, at least she didn't claim that going after Hunter Biden is an example of white supremacy or something.

If anything merits a special counsel, it is the allegations buried by the FBI that a corrupt Ukrainian oligarch paid millions to bribe the “Big Guy,” then-Vice President Joe Biden, to get a Ukrainian prosecutor fired.

The grave allegations contained in an FBI document released Thursday by Sen. Chuck Grassley came to light only because of a patriotic whistleblower.

It is an outrage that FBI Director Christopher Wray tried to hide this so-called FD-1023 document from congressional Oversight Committee members.

It is an outrage that Delaware US Attorney David Weiss buried it again when provided with the document in 2020 by Attorney General Bill Barr, after it had been vetted as credible by the US attorney in Pittsburgh.

Weiss inexplicably hid the FD-1023 from IRS and FBI investigators working the Hunter Biden criminal probe.

IRS supervisory agent Gary Shapley has testified that the document would have “likely been material to the ongoing criminal investigation of Hunter Biden . . . As a result of the [informant] information being concealed by prosecutors from the IRS-CI and FBI investigators assigned to this investigation, we were unable to follow alleged criminal activity as would normally be completed.”

The Ukrainian American who reported the allegations contained in the FD-1023 is a trusted, long-term FBI confidential human source (CHS) to whom the FBI has paid more than $100,000.

Was no attempt made to investigate the allegations when the CHS first alerted the FBI in 2018?

Did the FBI even try to retrieve the 17 covert recordings of Joe and Hunter Biden and two “documents” that allegedly show that Mykola Zlochevsky, owner of Ukrainian energy company Burisma, was “paying the Bidens to ensure Ukraine Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin was fired.”

Despite Washington Post reports to the contrary, Shokin had been aggressively investigating Burisma, which was paying $83,000 a month to the crack-addicted Hunter to sit on its board from 2014 to 2019.

Zlochevsky put Hunter on the board to “protect us, through his dad, from all kinds of problems,” the CHS attested in the FD-1023.
In February 2016, Shokin issued warrants to seize all Zlochevsky properties in Kyiv. The following month, VP Joe Biden successfully pressured the Ukrainian government into firing Shokin.

The story of the Biden family’s corrupt influence-peddling scheme, which netted tens of millions of dollars from Ukraine, China, Russia and beyond, is scandal enough.

But the coverup — from Big Tech’s censorship of The Post’s reporting from Hunter’s abandoned laptop, and CIA lies that it was Russian disinformation, to the burying of this FD-1023 — is bigger than Watergate.

Only when Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer threatened Wray with contempt proceedings did the FBI director grudgingly allow him to view the FD-1023 last month.
Most of the redactions only served to protect the Bidens. For example, all mention of the 17 recordings was redacted.

So was Zlochevsky’s comment that “Hunter Biden was stupid, and his [Zlochevsky’s] dog was smarter.”

I'd go so far as to suggest a firing squad and mass round-ups but as Miranda Devine states, let's go for attainable goals like a special counsel. Oh wait, never mind.

Margot Cleveland, who has been a stalwart on this since the beginning highlights the equally idiotic spin from the Democrats that this NBC clown spouted. No doubt, as with virtually everything you hear in the media, the responses are identical. Mostly because they come from the same source.

A second prevalent tactic on display during Wednesday’s hearing was Democrats feigning outrage over Republicans’ complaints of a “two-tier justice system.” 

According to Democrats on the committee, that phrase belongs to the civil rights movement and may only be invoked to condemn systemic racism. Some representatives ran so hard with this theme that they spent their allocated time highlighting decades-old hate crimes rather than asking the IRS whistleblowers questions concerning their testimony. 

One representative even quizzed Shapley on his knowledge of the racial disparity seen in the prosecution of tax cases. Shapley said he was unaware of the statistic. The Democrat lawmaker then cited the relative percentages for the IRS agent, while remaining oblivious to the fact that Shapley was complaining of favoritism bestowed on the white, privileged Hunter Biden. . .

. . . A sixth narrative Democrats pushed during the Oversight hearing was that there’s no evidence of misconduct or favoritism. But to paraphrase Shapley’s line, just repeating the same lie multiple times doesn’t make it true. And to say there’s no evidence of misconduct or favoritism is a whopper of a lie. 

The evidence of misconduct by the Bidens exists in the form of texts, emails, chat messages, bank records, suspicious activity reports, the FD-1023 report, and statements made by former business partners such as Tony Bobulinski. The public record is also replete with evidence of DOJ and FBI favoritism, including the extensive testimony of these two whistleblowers, parts of which a third whistleblower has already corroborated.

The Democrats may not like the evidence or want to talk about it, but to say none exists is about as believable as the Secret Service’s claim that they cannot determine whose cocaine was recovered in the White House. 

In parallel with the effort to protect the Bidens and destroy witnesses is the efforts to utterly stifle any voices of opposition. Were it not so equally horrifying as what is being done to Trump, the example of these Democrats going all out to censor RFK Jr. – regardless of how you feel about his politics – while seated on a committee putatively investigating government censorship is absolute farce.

“A government that can censor its critics has license for every atrocity. It is the beginning of totalitarianism. There’s never been a time in history when we look back, and the guys who were censoring people were the good guys,” Kennedy replied.

“All of us grew up reading Arthur Koestler, Robert Heinlein, Aldous Huxley, George Orwell, and they were all saying the same thing: once you start censoring, you’re on your way to dystopia and totalitarianism,” he added.

Democrats notably tried to censor Kennedy after his opening statement during the hearing, in which he defended his record on racism and antisemitism, and disputed claims by 102 Democrats in a letter that he had allegedly “spread vile and dangerous antisemitic and anti-Asian conspiracy theories.”

Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL), who had used an earlier hearing to attack the practice of professional journalism itself, subsequently moved that the hearing be moved into “executive session,” ending the public testimony. She cited rule 11, section 2, of the House, which provides for an executive session if testimony “would tend to defame, degrade, or incriminate any person.” Republicans moved to table the motion, with Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) later exclaiming: “This is a hearing on censorship that began with an effort…to censor Mr. Kennedy!”

Let me just say that for sure, RFK Jr. has had some horrible connections with Louis Farrakkkhan with which he has subsequently distanced himself from. You can decide for yourself on that one vis a vis his sincerity. His comments about the Chinese COVID vaccines in regards to Jews and Asians on the other hand, while perhaps sounding a bit loony, do have some basis in fact and I do not consider them anti-Semitic or anti-Asian. Neither does Naomi Wolf, but again, YMMV.

His warning about government censorship on the other hand is a nuclear truth bomb. Hence, the reaction from mayonnaise/jism conditioner user Debbie Wasserman-Test. RFK Jr., like the whistleblowers, is an existential threat to the Bidens as well as the narratives and by extension the ability to control the citizenry.

Will his presence in the race have an effect on their ability to effectively rig 2024, especially if either he and/or Cornel West go third party and not drop out? Who knows.

But, his presence does threaten the narrative and the hold on power outside of the normal electoral/political channels. Again, for the umpteenth time, I do NOT endorse RFK Jr. He is a leftist and his beliefs about global warming and other things would be equally as destructive to that of the Green New Deal of Biden et al. And he talks a big game about free speech but not so long ago, he himself called for the imprisonment of "climate deniers" and other political opponents.

Kind of an inconvenient truth right there vis a vis his new found channeling of John Peter Zenger.

Meanwhile, we go once again to not so far away Fargo, ND where there's more disturbing news about that attack that no one in the press seems to want to cover. Hmm, wonder why?

“It’s clear to me that this person was out to kill,” Fargo Mayor Tim Mahoney said. “When you look at the amount of ammunition this shooter had in his car, he was planning on more mayhem in our community.”

In the week since the July 14 attack took place, authorities have resisted providing any specifics about the Muslim terrorist or his motive. Flag Family Media, a local radio station, had its request for information about Mohamad because it had already all been turned over to the FBI.

Mohamad’s neighbors in the Fargo housing complex claimed that he was quiet and refused to interact with them. “He didn’t want to be around you and of course that made you not want to be around him.”

Why then was Mohamad in America? As previously revealed by a Front Page Magazine investigation, decades of aggressive refugee resettlement has fundamentally changed the face of this quintessentially American city. 8% of Fargo is foreign born and Somalis, Iraqis and other Muslim refugees outnumber Hispanics in the school system. The nearby mega-mosque, blocks from where Mohamad carried out his attack, and Muslim businesses attracts other arrivals . . .

. . . Gov. Doug Burgum had previously resisted ending refugee resettlement under Trump while claiming that the pipeline of foreign migrants showing up in the state had been vetted and were safe. Concerned North Dakota residents want answers after this latest Islamic terrorist attack.

While Mohamad’s terror attack was stopped in its tracks by his improvisation and the courage of an outgunned police officer, the next time Fargo residents and North Dakotans may not be so lucky.

“We really need a diverse population to be more like a normal American city,” Mayor Tim Mahoney had previously argued. After Fargo’s second Muslim terrorist and first major Muslim terrorist attack, does Mayor Mahoney feel that the city is diverse enough?

How many people have to die so that Fargo will meet its diversity quota?

Have a good weekend. See you tomorrow for the hobby thread. Be there. Aloha.

21 Verse for the Day:

"With the loyal thou dost show thyself loyal; with the blameless man thou dost show thyself blameless; with the pure thou dost show thyself pure; and with the crooked thou dost show thyself perverse. For thou dost deliver a humble people; but the haughty eyes thou dost bring down. Yea, thou dost light my lamp; the Lord my God lightens my darkness. Yea, by thee I can crush a troop; and by my God I can leap over a wall. This God—his way is perfect; the promise of the Lord proves true; he is a shield for all those who take refuge in him."

I used to listen to CSPAN radio when I had a long commute (this is what woke me up re: the level of MSM BS) and here's what I witnessed constantly: a hearing would have long spells of interesting/relevant questions with interesting/relevant responses, then someone like Schumer, Kennedy, would take their turn and do that bombastic, idiotic questioning bit -- and you know which part of the hearing made the evening news? One of those idiots mugging for the cameras while asking the person when they stopped beating their wife, as if the whole hearing was about that weird moment when Senator Clown decided to make a scene.

54 Yes, of course it's natural for each party to be more antagonistic towards opponents and sympathetic to fellow travelers, but the levels to which the Democrats and their propagandists have gone in their desperate attempts to whitewash the decades-long graft that enriched the Bidens at the expense of our national security and interests is breathtaking.

I disagree, JJ. It doesn't look to me like they're trying to "whitewash" anything. They're not even really disputing the facts. They're just screaming that it is how it is and you'd better come to terms with it.

57 The story of the Biden family's corrupt influence-peddling scheme, which netted tens of millions of dollars from Ukraine, China, Russia and beyond, is scandal enough.

But the coverup -- from Big Tech's censorship of The Post's reporting from Hunter's abandoned laptop, and CIA lies that it was Russian disinformation, to the burying of this FD-1023 -- is bigger than Watergate.

94 The story by Post White House reporter Steven Nelson begins this way:

WASHINGTON -- A bombshell FBI informant file containing a $10 million bribery allegation against President Biden and his son was released Thursday by Sen. Chuck Grassley, showing that a Ukrainian oligarch claimed he was "coerced" into making the payoff.

Mykola Zlochevsky, the owner of natural gas company Burisma Holdings, told the FBI informant in 2016 while meeting at a coffee shop in Vienna, Austria, that "it cost 5 [million] to pay one Biden, and 5 [million] to another Biden," according to the redacted FD-1023 form.

95 >>Something like 17% of (D) voters claimed that if they knew beforehand that the laptop was true they never would have voted for Biden.


Yeah, right.

It's like those Lefty bloggers who pretended to be seriously concerned about Obama (Ann whashername, the one Insty always linked to) going through this whole show of considering to not vote for him, but. . . in the end, they all found a reason to.

Biden has been a corrupt jerk for years. Many years. Add to it that he was obviously in poor and declining health during the campaign. They voted for him because they are owned by the Democrats/could never, ever see themselves voting 'R' -- especially not for icky Trump. They are now saying "if only I'd known" as a way to forgive themselves for putting Joe in on the WH. Yeah, that's the ticket, it's not your fault. . .

++++
First, it isn't. Per the article, 90k "asylum-seekers" (illegal aliens) lave landed in NYC "since last spring." So let's call it 12 months. Illegal aliens are flowing over the border at a rate of about 2.5-3.0 million per year (estimated). So NYC has been targeted with between 3.0 and 3.6% of the total. Per 2022 estimates, NYC proper contains about 2.5% of the entire US population, so the numbers on a relative basis are high but not obscenely so - not as compared to, for example, border towns and cities. The NYC metro area - which is actually absorbing all this, even if they originate in NYC's systems - has 5.8% of the total US population. On a metro area basis, it's still not anywhere close to pulling its weight.

Second, an open border is a policy *you* advocate for and enforcement of immigration law is something in which *you* refuse to participate. You brought this on yourself, and it's time you start to pay a tiny little sliver of the price for it. These are *your* policies.

I'm a little tired today to think it through but it seems the Democrats are losing that narrative.

Remember, the defense from 2020 to now was, "Joe didn't know."
But now they're trying to talk of anything other than the charges.
And, we're a long way past, "Joe didn't know" claims.

Again, the Republicans need to start asking, "why was Hunter spying for China? Why did Joe allow him to look at classified documents? What intelligence did Joe and Hunter sell for that $10 million?"

Joe gets quickly angry when Hunter is attacked-- he will blow up at the first person to ask those questions to him.

Bennett began singing at an early age. He fought in the final stages of World War II as a U.S. Army infantryman in the European Theater.

In February 2021, it was revealed that Bennett was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease in 2016.[3] Due to the slow progression of his illness, he continued to record, tour, and perform until his retirement from concerts due to physical challenges, which was announced after his final performances on August 3 and 5, 2021 at Radio City Music Hall.

197 It's not really a mystery to me.

True white supremacists are incorrect in their belief that one's melanin assigns an intrinsic level of value to life. As a Christian the value of a soul in Tajikistan, Senegal or Russia are the same before the Lord, as man is created in His image and all hold value to the true eternal yardstick.

With that said, they are correct in one aspect, demographics is destiny.

As the United States increasingly shifts from native born individuals trained in the precepts of the American system to individuals who come from other cultures, it's unavoidable that the American system will temper those cultural underpinnings, but also begin to adopt sone aspects of those cultures.

Imagine bringing in millions of individuals from a background of feudal warlords and then expecting them to view the American system with the same mindset of someone that grew up in an Amish community. It will not happen.

As America reaches critical mass of more population from competing cultures than from native born, you can expect that the same political and cultural temperaments from the competing cultures to achieve primacy in this country.

210 Imagine bringing in millions of individuals from a background of feudal warlords and then expecting them to view the American system with the same mindset of someone that grew up in an Amish community. It will not happen.

As America reaches critical mass of more population from competing cultures than from native born, you can expect that the same political and cultural temperaments from the competing cultures to achieve primacy in this country.

It's beyond that, and it's even crazier. They make this argument but then immediately say Trump *must* be imprisoned over this documents stuff. Even if Trump *did* break a law - I dunno - he did so to such a small degree and with absolutely no consequence as compared to literally everyone else in American government that to prosecute him for it is laughable.

So they simultaneously say, "Biden's corrupt but it doesn't matter because that's just Washington" while also asserting that Trump must be destroyed in totality for a minor transgression of which they are all far guiltier.

It's fascinating to watch such theoretical psychology play out in real life and in real time.

Happy belated JJ!

Per yesterday's discussion on Michigan, a few observations.

There is no state Republican party. To get on a ballot for a primary here you need signatures, and nobody has enough volunteers to collect them. In 2020 leftist "companies" did the job for hire and 5 GOP candidates for governor were disqualified because their hires committed fraud.

Get out and knock on doors? An abortion opponent went door to door here looking for signatures and was shot for her trouble. The shooter got a slap on the wrist with zero jail time.

Whitmer, Nessel and Bensen are full-on gangsters masquerading a victimized women. I would need a JJ length piece to begin to cover the crimes being committed.

Meanwhile the national head of the party Ronna Romney McDaniel, a Michigan native, stops by Harbor Springs and Mackinaw Island during the season for cocktail parties.

This is what a dictatorship looks like, from up top down to rural prosecutor's offices.

If this movie is as bad as the initial reviews I've seen are true (or if it's as good as the ultra-progs assert - which are two sides of the same coin), Mattel should be nervous. Barbie is a third of their sales and if this movie causes a backlash, it will have ripple effects.

I'm not predicting that by any means, but there are significant risks if they screwed it up to the point where normal people get disgusted or enraged. I have no idea if they have.

Probably lack of realistic options. His strategy is most likely to try and overwhelm fraud in a more narrowly focused and possibly unexpected way. Which in turn relies on successfully estimating the limits of fraud in those areas.

288 A recent study has found that the level of sinful lust generated by Victoria’s Secret mailers has plummeted a staggering 800% in recent years. Experts are now attributing this significant decline to one simple, yet profound reason: the once-sexy magazine just isn’t as seductive as it used to be.

“We were absolutely flabbergasted by the results,” admitted Dr. Albert Jones, lead researcher of the study. “Apparently replacing beautiful, in-shape babes with obese women and hairy dudes in lingerie causes the lust factor to plummet drastically for some reason.”

The FBI knew the laptop was Hunter's from the go because the FBI or the Secret Service asked Hunter if he had ever lost a laptop, and/or had any recollection of ever dropping-off one of his laptops for repair. Daddy Joe may have helped interrogate Hunter. If Hunter admitted it was his or had a fuzzy recollection of either scenario, the Joe Protection Mafia had to assume the worst-case, that it was Hunter's. Then cook-up a "Russia, Russia, Russia" campaign to get the Media and Social Media controllers to ignore the story.

Rep Lee got close but seemed to mistake Trump for Biden.

344 I don't want a Special Counsel. They would just use it to hide the issue at least until after the election.

I know many think House hearings are a waste of time but the last two have been anything but. A lot of good information is being made public and even though the media will do their best to cover it up at least some might get to the public.

The Bidens will never face the kind of justice they deserve. Best we can get is that they are publicly disgraced and we win in the court of public opinion. The tide is already beginning to turn on the left bit by bit, this would be some big fuel for the fire. As much as I hate those dirtbags I want my country back more.

Ukrainian helicopter crew say women flash them as they fly overhead to boost their morale fighting Russia. He said his crew had saved the GPS locations of places where it'd happened, lighthearted moments in their dangerous and often demoralizing missions against a far superior Russian air force. One woman even proposed marriage to them by holding up a sign, he said.

We got flashed once in the NG. We were training at a local ski area in Maine and a girl zoomed by us and lifted her sweater. She had a lot to show off, too.

Served in German right after the Wall came down.Hundreds of thousands of East Germans streamed across the border looking for new and better lives in the West. A Trabant convertable with four gorgeous young ladies pulled up behind our convoy. As they passed, the girl in the front passenger seat stood up and whipped off her blouse, flashing us guys in the truck.

She waved her blouse at us, and she and the other girls cheered as they drove past, and naturally, us guys just about came unglued. it's still a vivid memory for me.

There are a couple of legitimate reasons for it. There could be major foreign investors. The business works in Country A, but has major investors from Country D and Country T. So foreigners on the board there would make sense - they want a say in how their investment is used.

Another is for subject matter expertise. They might appoint a foreign board member who is skilled in business operations, or international finance, or in technical operations (e.g., an energy company might want an expert on pipeline issues), etc.

Or, you know, they appoint the coke-addled son of a US government mafia don to make sure the spice flows.

You hit upon the confusion/conflation. The Left can't tell the difference between culture and ethnic markers in their rhetoric. This is why they prefix "black" with "authentically" when having to deal with ideological opponent Thomas Sowell or Justice Thomas.

I can readily tell the superiority in culture from Nigerians compared to urban natives, then you mix in the dysfunctional culture of Somalians. All the same ethnic markers, wildly different cultures.

411 Bongino pointed out yesterday, that Biden is no longer using the front stairs on Air Force One. He points out that the front steps are a great free photo op, and everyone knows it. The only reason they have him at the back steps is that they are really afraid he'll go head over heels on the front ones, and the back stairs are an easier climb.

412 Don't miss that AI gets worse over time, but it can't be discussed because the entire trillion dollar house of cards will collapse. Fascinating article:

"The program at first fluently finished a sentence about English Gothic architecture, but after nine generations of learning from AI-generated data, it responded to the same prompt by spewing gibberish: “architecture. In addition to being home to some of the world’s largest populations of black (ass) tailed jackrabbits, white (ass) tailed jackrabbits, blue ass tailed jackrabbits, red (ass) tailed jackrabbits, yellow..."

Limit the training set to human generated materials then. The whole AI that runs wildly out of control by programming itself to be smarter and smarter was never really on the table.

415 Joe and Hunter Biden were selling their offices to the highest bidder, including to foreigners. They worked against American interests for personal profit."

There. Done.

416 TJM, I have an innate sense about trailers for comedy movies. I can usually tell well from a trailer if all the hilarious bits are in it, or whether the whole movie would be funny (at least to me). I first noticed way back with Home Alone (to me, not a funny movie).

As far as dramas, I have no idea. It's probably more about the story? Is it historical? Is there a theme that resonates? Not as easy as comedy.

BTW, there was a Barbie trailer before I watched SOF. I thought it incongruous.

Video has emerged from Manipur state in India showing two Christian women stripped naked, paraded through streets by a Hinduu mob who then allegedly gang raped them. The women's family who tried to protect them were bludgeoned to death.

421 344 I don't want a Special Counsel. They would just use it to hide the issue at least until after the election.


Agreed. And it's why they'll probably appoint one.

422 Good morning, all, and thanks, J.J.

Mention of Senator Grassley in any federal agency would rock those at the top, including unions & associations. And when an inquiry appeared, internal investigations were quick and comprehensive, and corrective actions were initiated and followed through in a timely manner. Some years ago.

Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement, Washington, D.C., Director: Dr. Michael Carpenter, biography on Congress gov. "Throughout his decades of public service, the Center’s namesake, Joseph R. Biden, Jr., has fought to secure American global leadership by defending and advancing a liberal international order."

It's Mission Statement includes advancing the dialogue on Internationalism; The Democracy Project (join effort including Freedom House.) Also, addressing threats to the Liberal International Order; The Refugee Admissions Project & engaging a new generation.

"Throughout his decades of public service, the Center’s namesake, Joseph R. Biden, Jr., has fought to secure American global leadership by defending and advancing a liberal international order." Worth reading: the "Order" & the UN's Better World Campaign.

Aloha

423 Where are the Senate and House banking committees when it comes to Biden "connections?" Damn; can only speculate some members, not just persons from the executive branch, have fuzzy connections themselves, including internationally.

424 Funny how Trump just 'says it' like it is and does everything the republicans have campaigned on but never implemented for 35 years and republicans allowed their state election laws to be violated to kick him out.

Same is happening to RFK Jr.

U.N.I.P.A.R.T.Y.

And you ain't in it.

Republicans use power to get money, democrats use money to get power. Suck it you Serfs. We have a top-down system going here and you are under the bus full of globalist cash.
