State Department Memos Disprove the Cover Story Biden and the Democrats Have Been Telling About Ukraine's Corruption
Biden infamously bragged about threatening to withhold $1 billion in aid to Ukraine unless they fired the prosecutor who was investigating, what was that again? Oh yes, he was investigating corruption and money-laundering at Burisma, which had hired Hunter Biden to help get Burisma cleared to do business in the US.
The claim from the Obama Administration and the Biden Crime Family is that it was necessary to to fire this prosecutor for Ukraine to prove it was complying with anti-corruption stipulations to receiving aid. I know it doesn't make sense that you'd fire someone investigating corruption to prove you were fighting corruption, but that's the story this gang of criminals and thieves has been going with for years. But now State Department records reveal that Ukraine had been certified as being adequately vigorous in their anti-corruption measures -- which suggests that Biden was conducting his own private, profitable foreign policy when he demanded that Ukraine fire the prosecutor who his son's paymasters wanted fired.
Just weeks before then-Vice President Joe Biden took the opposite action in late 2015, a task force of State, Treasury and Justice Department officials declared that Ukraine had made adequate progress on anti-corruption reforms and deserved a new $1 billion U.S. loan guarantee, according to government memos that conflict with the narrative Democrats have sustained since the 2019 impeachment scandal. "Ukraine has made sufficient progress on its reform agenda to justify a third guarantee," reads an Oct. 1, 2015, memo summarizing the recommendation of the Interagency Policy Committee (IPC) -- a task force created to advise the Obama White House on whether Ukraine was cleaning up its endemic corruption and deserved more Western foreign aid. The recommendation is one of several U.S. government memos gathered by Just the News over the last 36 months from Freedom of Information Act litigation, congressional inquiries and government agency sources that directly conflict with the long-held narrative that Biden was conducting official U.S. policy when he threatened to withhold a $1 billion U.S. loan guarantee to force Ukraine to fire Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin, the country's equivalent of the American attorney general. At the time the threat was made in December 2015, Shokin's office was conducting an increasingly aggressive corruption investigation into Burisma Holdings, an energy firm the State Department deemed to have been engaged in bribery and that employed Hunter Biden and paid him millions while his father was vice president. New details on the impact of that probe have emerged in recent days. Shokin's pursuit was rattling Burisma, and the firm was putting pressure on Hunter Biden to deal with it, according to recent testimony and interviews with Devon Archer, Hunter Biden's former business partner and fellow Burisma board member. The memos obtained by Just the News show: Senior State Department officials sent a conflicting message to Shokin before he was fired, inviting his staff to Washington for a January 2016 strategy session and sent him a personal note saying they were "impressed" with his office's work. U.S. officials faced pressure from Burisma emissaries in the United States to make the corruption allegations go away and feared the energy firm had made two bribery payments in Ukraine as part of an effort to get cases settled. A top U.S. official in Kyiv blamed Hunter Biden for undercutting U.S. anticorruption policy in Ukraine through his dealings with Burisma. During Trump's first impeachment in late 2019, State officials testified that Hunter Biden's acceptance of a job at Burisma at a time when his father was vice president created the appearance of a conflict of interest but did not materially impact U.S. policy in Ukraine. But in a private, classified email shared with Just the News, one of the top U.S. officials in the Kyiv embassy told then-Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch at the end of the Obama administration that Hunter Biden had, in fact, impacted the U.S. anti-corruption agenda in Ukraine. "The real issue to my mind was that someone in Washington needed to engage VP Biden quietly and say that his son Hunter's presence on the Burisma board undercut the anti-corruption message the VP and we were advancing in Ukraine b/c Ukrainians heard one message from us and then saw another set of behavior with the family association with a known corrupt figure whose company was known for not playing by the rules," embassy official George Kent wrote to Yovanovitch in the Nov. 22, 2016, email marked "confidential."
Flashback to Joe Biden withholding a billion-dollar loan guarantee from Ukraine unless they fired a prosecutor, who happened to be investigating Burisma, the company his son was a part of...but perhaps that was just a happy coincidence. pic.twitter.com/c4QNyGcYZt

If Joe Biden took millions of dollars for getting the prosecutor in Ukraine fired who was investigating Burisma, he needs to be impeached, removed from office, and thrown in jail.

It's gotten to the point where hearing an American official of *any* kind talk about "anti-corruption" should be - and behind closed doors, probably is - met with the same reaction one would have to hearing about the CCP engaging in "anti-corruption activities."
Like in Red China, our "anti-corruption" mission is about purging people who were once insiders but are now outsiders, and keeping the spice flowing to the top dogs.

It was right to impeach Trump for asking about this! Whether or not Biden did anything wrong - and it's unlikely that they really did, outside of the right-wing spin machine - the Trump's motivations and goals were illicit. Even if it all went down the way he asserted, his ambition was criminal and so the impeachment was appropriate.

Both of them are classic over-thinkers. Hit either one in the mouth, and what will they do ? First, they'll think. That's the wrong move.
I'm sure they're both good readers, great essay writers, and fair to middling chess players. But neither would be worth a damn on any crew, they're both fresh meat on a card table, and I'd rather have a loaded spare mag than either one of them in a foxhole or fist-fight.
They're both the kind of men that exist in luxury only because times are still relatively good.

The New York Times: "Elections Are Bad for Democracy".
The Atlantic Magazine: "Americans Vote Too Much".
Gosh, I wonder where this is going?
The NYT article talks about the wonders of Athens' random appointment of people to high-ranking jobs (since the vast majority of Athenians were slaves, only the elites got appointed).
The Atlantic article details the incredible burden of having to vote three times every two years, plus Americans (particularly in the West) have to vote for so gosh darn many positions - school boards, city councils, school boards, water district boards, cemetery district boards, and on and on. How burdensome!
Of course, the point behind voting for all these boards is that normally no one pays attention, and the incumbents are reelected, but if the organization screws up, there is a way of removing the people responsible for overseeing the organization.
Along with the WEF's Klaus Schwab's announcement that eventually we won't need elections, since we'll know who would have won anyway, it's pretty obvious that the elites are moving towards abolishing elections.

Congressional theater does not move me anymore.
Any one Senator can grind the Senate business to a halt on the floor by denying unanimous consent. Any senator can demand entire bills (thousands of pages long) be read in full on the floor. That we all know the overstuffed CR that will definitely come when the House folds in the face of the Senate run by Chuck Schumer saying, "nah, bro" will not be read in full on the Senate floor, that Cruz won't be the architect of actual things that could kneecap the administrative state, that tells me he's purposefully limiting himself.
Instead, he will hoop and holler in committee hearings where news gets out about bad things in government, but, gosh darn it, we couldn't stop it because we don't have the votes.

I'm not sold on him either. He's got that Bored Rich Kid vibe going on with a questionable background in some questionable industries. But he's a fighter. He can hold his own in an argument and doesn't immediately concede the leftist talking points. I like him. Not sold. But like.

Not really fair to compare Cruz to Shapiro. Ben Shapiro is the Dylan Mulvaney of media. Like Mulvaney, Shapiro has somehow built a successful brand despite being an annoying little queef who is wrong about almost everything.
Cruz is basically good guy who's in the wrong job. He should be a judge where his conservative intellect could be used to actually accomplish shit. In the Senate, he's just another impotent cog doing little but talking and tweeting.

From the spring counteroffensive starting point Tokmak is about 1/2 way to Melitopol. Melitopol's critical strategic highway intersections make it an important and attractive target. Just yesterday, US defense officials said Ukraine wouldn't be reach with this counter offensive
Washington Post may need to retract its Ukraine "Counteroffensive Stalled" headline from its repertoire. How quickly things change! Particularly when you encourage doom and gloom journalists to pound the keyboards. Slava Ukraini!
Nothing is stalled about it. They're just putting out little real information and quite a lot of disinformation. More Russian puppets!

They built those lines while the Ukranian army was focused on Wagner in Bakhmut, and hoping that Prigozhin was honest when he said he was being strangled for supplies and ammo.

I don't buy into triple-bankshot theories. They both have the same goal which is to destroy Trump, and people who support him.
I mean, who there is thinking "if we just get a bunch of indictments from all kinds of jurisdictions together, they will HAVE to make him the candidate!" No one is thinking that. If so they would be happy to make the trial dates sometime in 2025 or 2026. But no, they are rushing them, and they have set things up so they will get convictions.
And I keep hearing that the GOPe is backing DeSantis or Ramaswamy or Christie so they can depose Trump, too.

So yes he should be impeached, but I get a strong feeling this has all been gamed out to where JFB continues to draw all our fire until the last minute, then the GOP has lost months of pre election messaging that should have been/should be about:
--Restoring an actual border to stave off a tsunami of illegals, drugs and public assistance
--Stopping the insane trans-psychosis being foisted on kids by radicals. And yes the Feds are actively abetting it (intervening in every Court case, BS Medicare reimbursement for this etc) and the Feds can help reverse direction
-- etc.

"Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva slammed developed countries, saying they advance their own trade interests by pushing for measures to prevent climate change.
"We do not accept green neocolonialism, which builds discriminatory trade barriers under the guise of protecting the environment," he said at a meeting of the Business Council of BRICS, a group that brings together Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa."
Lula said this. I'm not a fan. But this us still powerful rhetoric.
And true. Like the best word magic.

Here it is. Trump's an asshole, but he's honest. Honestly out of his league, honestly got the attention span of a gnat, and honestly can't win a game of checkers against anyone with an average IQ or better. But honest. Last guy that was honest before him ? Ross Perot.
So the two parties agreed to shit-can Trump and pass Campaign Finance Reform over Perot. Presidenting simply isn't that hard. It takes a corrupt SOB to do what they do from the Oval Office. Our last honest guy, before Trump, was probably Ike. Yes, I skipped over Reagan.

However, Daniel Silver, an economist at JPMorgan Chase, estimates that when the federal agency’s preliminary benchmark revision is released on Wednesday, it will be nearly half a million off from the level of total employment reported in the year through March, according to a report shared with The Post.
If Silver is correct, that would mean there are 40,000 fewer jobs per month over the 12-month period ended in March than the BLS originally reported.

Don't be hard on Rush for that, he wasn't smoking meth and heroin to party. Oxy was sold as "non-addictive" and by the time I got Rx'd that was known at the street level to be a lie.
If you are on it long enough you need to wean off it, and mine was moderately interesting. It required spending a week on the sofa feeling like shit. It would have been much harder to do had I been working and expected to produce.

Macgregor is kind of meh. I think the broad strokes of what he is saying are correct - that the path of supporting Ukraine ends with US troops there doing the fighting, and that we are not going to do a 4 day smash and grab like in Desert Storm.
But he also his own agenda, his push for diesel-electric tanks is a tell, its a specific technological answer (probably from a specific technology vendor). If we lose to Russia in a fight it wont be because we have turbine powered tanks first fielded in the 80s (note the 50 cal on top of those tanks was first fielded in 1918.) American tanks have been overmatching Soviet/Russian tanks forever. The other problems he points out are cultural, and worse than he describes.

When Delecto lost there were numerious precincts in Philly with 100%+ turnout with ZERO votes for the him. They should be tossed for 'no confidence' and if it turns the state as a whole, so be it.

I find it interesting that people claim Trump is an idiot or the like. I'm not claiming Trump is a genius, but if he's an idiot, I'd like to be so stupid that I have that kind of success. I'd wager that Trump is at least as smart as everyone commenting here - probably smarter.
As far as being "out of his league" - he has both parties and every arm of pretty much every state government and federal gov't trying to take him down and put him in prison, yet he remains free and remains the front-runner for the GOP nomination. Not sure how that makes him "out of his league".
Again, if anyone else in the world - particularly any dem or GOP politician, faced what Trump's been facing - they would have curled up and died already.
I don't agree with everything Trump says or does - but the man isn't stupid.

Cruz is a lawyer and a politician, he moves glacially slow, and he does it to make sure all the i and t's are dotted and crossed, and that is why he won cases at the Supreme Court.
The replacement for Michael Knowles sounds like a wet-head scatterbrain, but Cruz is pretty good. Just, when he starts saying "look . . . " or starts doing the "it, it" I figure I need to start parsing his statements. Otherwise, he seems pretty solid.

“Aloha”
When arguing in federal court in HI in 2020, I had to get permission from the governor to enter his precious state to argue that his silly COVID lockdowns violated the Constitution. I lost. This same state, in real life, has shown how little respect for life its leaders really have.
My perfectly healthy clients were not allowed to travel from one island to another to visit their own property. American citizens were turned away at the airport because they got the wrong COVID test on the mainland. The hotel gave me “parole” from the one way card key rule only to do my legal business and leave. I could not call an Uber or take a taxi at the airport. The National Guard met me at the gate to escort me to Hawaii COVID immigration to provide my information, which they verified with the hotel. I was to keep my phone on at all times so that they could track my location.
This same police state didn’t turn the water on in Lahaina, didn’t have sirens, can’t begin to tell you how many children died from their incompetence. Or begin to explain it.
Remember all this the next time you are asked to comply with farcical, unjust “laws” made by dictators.

As an aside, it's one of the distinguishing characteristics Adolf Hitler had.

Extremely rare in politics since the ancient world. He was an odd duck.

I don't know if anyone hates Cruz. He's one of the better Senators, but I would not trust him as president not to be part of the GOPe. During his last run for president he was in the wrong on illegal immigration, border enforcement, and border control. He played word games with the concept of "amnesty" such that he's say he was against "amnesty" but if you paid attention to what else he said, he was favoring some form of legal status for all the illegals as part of "comprehensive immigration reform". So he was playing the game where "amnesty" meant something like immediate citizenship, whereas everyone else used "amnesty" to mean any form of legal status given to illegals. It's a game all the GOP people play and why I trust none of them other than Trump on the issue.

There's no hate. Just recognition of a very distilled Republican.
I lost interest when he blamed the Americans who got permits and marched peacefully per the law for the violence in Charlottesville instead of taking the opportunity to explain how freedom works even when someone believes in distasteful ideas.

That's Not Who We Are™.
But it would be a yuuuuuge, luxurious step in the right direction.
If we had an election where two thirds of states had no Democrat option for President, and the other third had no Republican option, it would go along way toward doing the needful.

Oxycontin is synthetic heroine with a time elapsed release. They were marketed as the safest pain reliever evah. Then the doses started going up. The Sackler's made a yuge fortune killing people and only had to pay a fine to stay out of jail. Once again, Manhattan looks out for Manhattan.

Let me point something out, the name of politics nowadays is "Ballot Access" and it is something that has been keeping a lot of LP candidates off the ballot in larger states.
The GOP and DEM both act to prevent ballot access iand if you are not one of the two parties you don't get to play. NY is one of those states.

Nah. It was when he said we were violent and deplorable and meanwhile it was Hillary/Bernie Shock Troops (which anyone with a brain knew) all along.
He should have stuck to insulting Trump, it was primary season after all. But going after us, admitting what he really thinks of us, seeding the lefty lie that we deserve to have our faces bashed in with locks by antifa? Fuck that shit.

Again, not shilling for Ramaswamy, just commenting on the race right now: he is moving his candidacy forward. He's been doing a lot of things to get "earned media" - he goes to where action is and makes a clear statement about it.
I think that he does a number of things that Scott Adams talks about on persuasion - AB testing of statements. He does calibrate what he says. I think there are some things that he as a strong core alignment on, and some things he doesn't.
He published "Ten Truths" - I don't disagree with any of this:
1. God is real.
2. There are two genders.
3. Human flourishing requires fossil fuels.
4. Reverse racism is racism.
5. An open border is no border.
6. Parents determine the education of their children.
7. The nuclear family is the greatest form of governance known to mankind.
8. Capitalism lifts people up from poverty.
9. There are three branches of the U.S. government, not four.
10. The U.S. Constitution is the strongest guarantor of freedoms in history.

BREAKING NEWS: FOX News reports Ca. Gov. Gavin Newsom is the first Governor to say Donald Trump is not eligible for future presidential elections & has asked the California's State Assembly to pass a bill that will remove Trumps name on any future ballots.

People have to realize, the vast majority of politicians are kept men and women, there are only a handful that can stand on their own and are not beholden to anyone.

So, even if Joe got Shokin fired, he may have also made sure the incoming guy knew who not to charge.
which is also corrupt.

It's not as hard to get to home plate when you're born on third base. That's Trump.
And look, anybody here can beat Trump in checkers. Mostly because the old dude can't sit still and pay attention more than five minutes.
