Court records confirm that millions of dollars flowed from Communist China to Biden family bank accounts.

In the end, there really was a silk road of money that flowed from China to the Biden family's coffers, despite Joe Biden's insistence to the contrary.
The U.S. Attorney's office in Delaware -- which charged Hunter Biden with tax and gun crimes last month -- released to a federal court last week a now-scuttled plea deal that affirmed the presidential son got millions himself from Chinese sources in 2017-18 alone. That included money from a Chinese energy firm as well as legal payments from a Chinese executive convicted of bribery.
The records confirm reporting from investigative author Peter Schweizer's book "Red Handed," Just the News stories and investigations by Congress that date to 2020 when Sens. Ron Johnson, R-Wisc., and Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, revealed bank transfers from Beijing to Biden accounts.
Lawmakers told Just the News last week that the size of the payments from communist China and Joe Biden's efforts to conceal them raise larger questions about whether such monies to his family caused the president to take actions like refusing to shoot down a Chinese spy balloon or shuttering the FBI's main Chinese counter-intelligence program rooting out spies in U.S. academia.
The revelations raise questions whether Biden "would be sympathetic to the concerns of other nations or individuals based on previous relationships," said Rep. Scott Perry, R-Penn., a member of the House Oversight Committee investigating the Biden family's finances, "And whether that is generally viewed as being compromised.
"When you look at China and their Thousand Talents program, and other programs similar to that, where they pick key individual keys or key government individuals to compromise them, then the policy that would support the United States of America never happens because the individuals are compromised. That is what is so concerning about this," Perry told the Just the News, No Noise television show last week.

The documents released at Hunter Biden's scuttled plea deal confirm he was getting millions from China.

Remember, a lawyer for Hunter Biden's legal team misrepresented herself as a member of the Republican House leadership, telling a clerk to take these filings out of the motion.

Those documents concerned the monies the Bidens were receiving from foreign governments and gangsters.

...
The description of Hunter Biden's income in Exhibit 1 of the deal confirms much of the compensation he was previously alleged to have received from Ukraine and China and covers the period from 2016 to 2019. Overall, in 2017 and 2018 Hunter Biden received approximately $4.9 million from confirmed foreign sources.
In 2017, Hunter Biden received $1 million from "a company he formed with the CEO of a Chinese business conglomerate," according to the agreement. The next year, he would receive even more: $2.6 million from the same source.
Those payments, according to records released by Congress, came from CEFC China Energy Co. Ltd (CEFC). CEFC was founded by Ye Jianming who had close ties to the ruling Chinese Communist Party. The group received funding from the state-owned China Development Bank and Ye was also the deputy secretary general of the China Association for International Friendly Contact (CAIFC), an alleged arm of the General Political Department of the People's Liberation Army (PLA).
...
Exhibit 1 also lists a $664,000 payment from a "Chinese infrastructure investment company." Based on a Grassley-Johnson report -- released jointly in September 2020 by the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs (chaired by Johnson) and the Senate Finance Committee (chaired by Grassley) -- his company is likely CEFC Infrastructure Investment (US) LLC. This company is a subsidiary of CEFC China Energy Company and listed Gongwen Dong -- Ye Jianming's deputy -- as its director.
The Grassley-Johnson report claimed that almost $5 million was sent to the Hunter Biden's accounts from CEFC via Hudson West III, an entity set up by the younger Biden and CEFC. It is unclear if some of the money remained in the company, given the discrepancy between the plea agreement and the Senate report.
In 2018, Hunter Biden also received a $1 million payment for the legal representation of Patrick Ho, who was charged in the United States for violating the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and money laundering. He was implicated and convicted in a scheme at the United Nations to bribe African officials in Chad and Uganda to acquire favorable terms for CEFC China Energy to expand its operations in Africa.
CEFC was at the same time also seeking to buy up U.S. and Western energy assets when it approached Hunter Biden starting in late 2015, according to text messages obtained by Just the News.

Remember, Burisma was also looking to enter the US market and get US regulars to permit that entry.

And they also hired the skill-less, talentless crackhead whore-hound Hunter Biden.

Hunter Biden's "business" partner Eric Schwerin visited the Obama White House, and the Vice President's residence, 36 times when Biden was Vice President.

I'm sure they just talked about niceties! And the weather!

Hunter Biden's former friend and longtime business partner visited the Obama White House and then-Vice President Joe Biden's residence dozens of times between 2009 and 2016, likely to make him the next target of the House Oversight Committee's investigation into Hunter Biden's foreign business dealings.
Fox News Digital previously reported that Eric Schwerin had visited the White House and vice presidential residence at Observatory Circle at least 27 times during Joe Biden's vice presidency. However, a more extensive review found that Schwerin actually made at least 36 visits during that same time frame.
Schwerin was the founding partner and managing director of Hunter Biden's now-dissolved firm Rosemont Seneca Partners when he was appointed by then-President Obama to the Commission for the Preservation of America's Heritage Abroad, an independent U.S. government agency, in early 2015. Obama reappointed him to the commission in January 2017.
...
The number of Schwerin's White House visits could be much higher than 36 if any of his meetings fell under the White House voluntary disclosure policy exception of "purely personal guests," due to his handling of the Biden family's personal finances.

These are also called "Weather-centered conversation opportunities."

"The White House will not release access records related to purely personal guests of the first and second families (i.e., visits that do not involve any official or political business)" the Obama administration's archived website says.
One of Schwerin's visits - in November 2010 - was a sit-down with Joe Biden in the West Wing. Schwerin also visited Joe Biden's residence at least 15 times for various holiday receptions, including the Dec. 12 holiday reception in 2015 that came a couple of days after then-Vice President Biden's infamous trip to Ukraine, where he threatened to withhold $1 billion in U.S. aid if the country's leaders did not fire their top prosecutor.
According to White House visitor logs, Schwerin attended the reception along with Rosemont Seneca co-founder Devon Archer, Hunter Biden and Sebastian Momtazi, an associate who worked with Archer in Rosemont Seneca's New York City office. Archer, who was also on the Burisma board with Hunter Biden, and Momtazi both had Burisma.com email addresses, according to emails previously reviewed by Fox News Digital.

Fitch has downgraded the rating for US government debt, signalling that there is an increased (though still small-ish) chance of a US government default.

But Biden's focused on the important things:

Biden's determined to outlaw your stoves and lightbulbs and washing machines, which means it's time for the Washington Post and NPR to talk about what a Crazy Conspiracy Theory it is that Biden wants to outlaw your gas stoves and lightbulbs and washing machines.

President Joe Biden is facing increasing opposition for his ongoing crusade against popular household items. As of August 1, traditional incandescent light bulbs became the newest on the regulatory chopping block, effectively outlawing them nationwide.
Under new Energy Department efficiency standards, bulbs manufactured and sold now must meet the "minimum energy-efficiency standard" of 45 lumens per watt, giving rise to LED bulbs that some researchers have suggested can cause health complications.
Biden's light bulb ban joins the list of growing home items the President has fixated on. Perhaps most notably, gas stoves have been a target of his administration for several months.
Specifically, the DOE-proposed energy consumption standards that, if enacted, would reportedly make half of America's gas-powered stoves non-compliant with the rule, a move Republicans have warned would wreak havoc on financially burdened families.
Because of this, House Republicans passed two bills aimed at blocking federal attempts to regulate gas-powered stoves, arguing that, on top of the economic implications, it would also violate consumer choice.
Other items like gas furnaces, AC units, washing machines and refrigerators have also come under DOE scrutiny, all in the name of "energy efficiency" and combating climate change. However, many don't agree that the efforts to regulate home appliances are climate-motivated.
...
In general, and despite the ongoing "green" transition, any sort of energy regulation on appliances doesn't seem to sit well with the American people. As reported by the Washington Examiner, a majority of Democrats, Republicans, and Independents said in a CRC Research poll they would be "more likely" to support a candidate who would put an end to these types of crackdowns. Even 48% of liberals joined in agreement.

In DC, the violent crime rate has almost doubled since the AOC-championed push for "decarceration" of America's thieves, killers, and rapists.

It was a violent start to the weekend in D.C., with gun violence killing three people and injuring four other victims across four shootings early Saturday morning.
...
In total, three people were killed and four people were injured early Saturday morning.
The Adams Morgan shooting is yet another violent incident in a neighborhood known to be a safe area for tourists visiting bars and residents living there.
"We walk around the block. We walk the dog before we go to bed. Thinking about the possibility of getting caught in the crossfire if I'm getting home late, which I often park on this block, I'm not sure I'm going to park on this block anymore," said Kristen Adaire.
Last month, 7News reported on a string of armed robberies that happened in the community.
Less than two weeks ago, a man was shot and killed at the Marie H. Reed Recreation Center in Adams Morgan.
Neighbors also said they have not yet shaken the images from another deadly shooting there in December.
So far this year in Adams Morgan, total crime is up 43 % and violent crime has more than doubled compared to the same time last year.
7News On Your Side asked neighbors if they still feel safe in the community.
"We as neighbors, as a neighborhood, have been steadily complaining to the police and to elected officials that there is a burgeoning drug dealing going on in this neighborhood, in Unity Park," the anonymous neighbor said. "We feel not much has been done. It's been allowed to fester. It's been allowed to grow."

And who did you vote for? If you voted for it, then you should shut up and accept the fate you chose.

Last week, a "potential mass shooter" at a Hebrew school was himself shot and critically injured by police after being denied entry by alert guards.

The Democrats oppose any efforts to "harden" schools against gun violence, insisting that the only way to stop criminal Democrats from using illegal guns to kill people is to ban law-abiding Republicans from owning legal guns.

So of course the disgusting, child-hating media won't report on it.

Police in Memphis shot a man who opened fire outside of a Jewish school Monday, after the suspect failed to get inside a building, preventing what officers called "a potential mass shooting situation."
"At approximately 12:20 p.m., officers received a call that a male White, who was armed with a handgun, was at Margolin Hebrew Academy," the Memphis Police Department said in a statement. "Reportedly, the male fired his weapon while outside of the school."
"I personally truly believe we prevented a tragedy," Memphis Police Assistant Chief Don Crowe said.
"When he could not gain entry, he fired shots outside the school," Crowe told reporters Monday. "Thankfully that school had a great safety procedure process in place and avoided anyone being harmed or injured at that scene."

According to police, the suspect fled the scene in a maroon Ram pickup truck with California tags. He was shot by officers during a traffic stop 3 miles away after he exited the vehicle holding a handgun.
The suspect is currently in critical condition and under arrest at a local hospital.

By the way, this story is linked inside that one:

So other than that -- how well did the "outreach" go?

Nose-picking spread covid, reseachers say.

Uh, sorry about that. But shit gets dry, you know?

As if you needed another reason to avoid picking your nose, the unsanitary habit could increase the risk of contracting COVID, according to a new study from Amsterdam University Medical Centers.
A total of 219 health care workers in the Netherlands completed a survey on their habits and physical features, then were later tested for COVID antibodies between March and October 2020.
A total of 185 respondents (85%) admitted to "habitual" nose-picking on a monthly, weekly or daily basis. These health care workers were found to have a higher incidence of COVID infections compared to those who refrained from the habit, according to a discussion of the findings in the journal PLOS ONE.
Younger respondents were more likely to pick their noses -- and more males than females did so.
Among the types of workers, doctors were the most likely to be nose-pickers, followed by medical residents, specialists, support staff and nurses.

There was no association found between COVID and other behavioral or lifestyle features, such as nail-biting, wearing glasses or having a beard, per the study findings.

The underside of my desk has been rated a Level 3 Biohazard site.

Dianne Feinstein's daughter now holds power of attorney over her, meaning that Feinstein herself is no longer able to make financial decisions for herself and must entrust that power to a third party.

But she's still voting on our laws in the Senate.

20 Feinstein through her daughter is suing her late husband's estate held in trust through a law firm for money reportedly to pay her medical bills. They say that Dianne never got the money she was supposed to receive from her late husband. The law firm has responded that this is bullshit and she did receive all that she was granted in his will.

So, Dianne is too broke to pay her medical bills? This long time fossil of a Senator who has enriched herself - like they all do - and is a multi-millionaire with premium healthcare benefits can't afford it? I think that the daughter with her now control of mommy's finances is only try to enrich herself as mom doesn't know what day it is anymore.

What should be even more terrifying is that there is a long line of people who agreed with Biden that the spy balloon should remain unmolested. The Party Military did nothing. So much for national security and the allegiances of the Party Army, Navy and Airforce.

Factories across Asia are struggling to attract young workers, which is bad news for Western consumers accustomed to inexpensive goods

The twilight of ultracheap Asian factory labor is emerging as the latest test of the globalized manufacturing model, which over the past three decades has delivered a vast array of inexpensively produced goods to consumers around the world. Americans accustomed to bargain-rate fashion and flat-screen TVs might soon be reckoning with higher prices.

We all know that under my mandate, we failed miserably to renew, re-invigorate, and rationalize the functions of government, and in our failure to succeed at a single thing the state government and private social services wasted billions of dollars and made the lives of uncounted numbers of our citizenry complete misery and pointless drudgery as the citizens themselves were forced to waste their limited time, labor and money. I also admit to personal failures and lapses of judgement that verge on the suicidal, and so committed acts of such personal stupidity that I will be a joke in this state when my youngest illegitimate child is getting a pension. However, the stakes are far to high to try a new candidate, and the only reasonable choice is to vote for me, yet again, after all I have done to you.

84 Florida effectively bans AP Psychology course over LGBTQ content, College Board says. The state's move to restrict the AP Psychology course comes after its decision to block AP African American Studies courses was widely condemned. The College Board added that Florida will allow superintendents to offer the college-level psychology class for high schoolers if they exclude LGBTQ topics.

Agreed, the amount of power the right has in that state is reaching seriously disturbing levels. Ron DeSantis is a tyrant in every stretch of the word. He will get his in the end. 😡

White Christian magical thinking was the norm in the 1950s. DeSatan is just expanding it.

If we don't talk about sex and birth control, our kids will remain pure until marriage (which usually occurs because somebody's pregnant).

If we don't talk about LGBTQ issues, they'll just magically go away and nobody will be LGBTQ.

If we don't talk about systemic racism, white people will remain socially, economically, and politically superior.

If we don't talk about slavery, everybody will just forget it ever existed...etc, etc.

Way back when, during his playing career, Garvey was being talked about regarding his political future. Some seemed to have thought the Senate, Governor's mansion, or even higher, were real possibilities.

They he got caught diddling someone/somewhere who wasn't his wife. I hadn't heard it come up again, until now. I mean, sure, why not. Garvey wouldn't be the worst thing you could do in Californica. Unlike, say, Adam Schiff, I don't think Garvey has killed any young black male prostitutes.

289 Mass has a new "initiative" where the state is paying towns to ban fossil fuels in new construction - no gas stoves, no oil heat, etc.

And the local FNM is declaring that people are being denied the "freedom" to ban fossil fuel usage for other people.

LOL if you use electric to heat your house in New England you are forked. We had oil heat when we lived in Connecticut and it cost $3,500 a year for heating oil. If we had to use electric baseboard heat it would have been over $5,000 a season for heat.

299 But maybe, just maybe the USSR dissolving peacefully should make us consider the things we were told about the USSR were psy-ops and unrelated to reality?

Posted by: Thesokorus at August 07, 2023 07:23 PM (Z4sr+)

There was plenty of spin and as a Cold Warrior I heard it all. There was quite a bit of under the table info saying that the USSR's ability to conquer the world was overstated to keep the defense industry cooking.

Most of the spectacular blood soaked oppression drained out post Stalin but there was enough ideological incompetence to require a country with the Ukraine and the other steppes to need to import grain in the 80s. This time they didn't massacre millions of Kulaks to do it, which is progress.

Thus after the fall of the USSR I didn't think of Russia as anything special corruption-wise or evil empire wise.

We just got power back on - the wind knocked down power lines and massive tree limbs at a bunch of the houses on our block. Ours was unscathed, while the houses next door and across the street were damaged.

302 Why is Joe Biden still sitting in the Oval Office? He's a foreign asset, a Manchurian candidate, a traitor and a giant whore. He and the leaders of both the Democrat and Republican parties are traitors. It's all business as usual for them!

U.S. Military, where in the hell are you??? Are all our generals compromised?? DO YOU JOB!

Line them up. Knock them down. Pretend you're at a fairground booth.

303 received from Ukraine and China and covers the period from 2016 to 2019. Overall, in 2017 and 2018 Hunter Biden received approximately $4.9 million from confirmed foreign sources.

Now we know why it was critical that Biden be elected President. We also should connect the dots as to why he stated early on that he had the votes.
Don't forget the millions that Zucker poured into influencing the election.
Lots of conspiracy threorys here. Will they come true like all the others about Covid. Oh my goodness, now why did China release the virus during the Trump Presidency? Place is a shit show and time for some to show balls.
