Is Joe Biden about to get Al Caponed?

 Is Joe Biden about to get Al Caponed? – Bookworm Room

The facts are a little different because Al Capone was nailed for evading taxes, but Biden’s tax returns suggest the possibility of serious corruption.


. . ."In Biden’s case, it appears that he reported all his income to the IRS. The problem, as the Daily Mail discovered, is that the origin of $5.2 million of that income is completely mysterious:

[T]he president’s financial filings reveal that he declared almost $7 million more income on his tax returns than he did on his government transparency reports, an analysis by DailyMail.com of the president’s financial records shows.

Some of that difference can be accounted for with salaries earned by First Lady Jill Biden and other sums not required on his reports – but still leaves $5.2 million earned by Joe’s company and not listed on his transparency reports.

The ‘missing millions’ – combined with emails on Hunter’s abandoned laptop suggesting Joe would have a 10% share in Hunter’s blockbuster deal with the Chinese – raise a troubling question: did Joe Biden receive money from the foreign venture?

"It’s very clear that Biden was rolling in dough—so much so that, as some of the documents show, he was able to pay Hunter’s legal bills in 2018, which totaled $737,130.61. Of that gigantic sum, $28,000 was attributed to “restructuring” Hunter’s joint venture with the Bank of China, owned by the Chinese government (aka the Chinese Communist Party).". . .

Michelle Malkin: Sabotaging America’s military from within

In a sane and self-respecting sovereign nation, wise, brave, God-fearing, independent-minded warriors like USAFA cadet Nathan Suess, Navy Lt. Col. Bill Moseley and military defense lawyer R. Davis Younts would be celebrated and promoted, not spurned. But in woke, broke America, . . .

 Michelle Malkin   "A year ago this month, a comparison of military recruitment ads from China, Russia and the U.S. went viral on social media. Our foreign competitors wooed their potential enlistees with muscular appeals to national pride and protection of the traditional nuclear family. A U.S. Army promotional campaign, by contrast, featured a pastel-hued cartoon depiction of a female soldier named “Emma” who marched in a gay pride parade with her two mothers and became a soldier to “shatter some stereotypes.”

"Wokeness is a terminal cancer in our armed forces, eroding the foundational bones of its honor-bound institutions and ravaging the core values of generations of America’s frontline fighters. Integrity, honor, personal courage, excellence and commitment to truth have been subjugated to the progressive false gods of diversity, equity and inclusion. Who needs outside threats to our troops when the most lethal saboteurs are embedded inside the bowels of our own Pentagon and service academies?

" 'Diversity,” of course, is exclusively defined by selective skin color and politically correct pronouns. “Equity” is a farce if you are white, male, Christian and patriotic. “Inclusion” is a grand illusion. Nowhere are these toxic realities more clearly illustrated than in the American military bureaucracy’s vindictive witch hunt against our best and brightest soldiers, Marines, sailors, airmen and Coasties who have resisted the COVID-19 jab.

" 'I’m frustrated,” Air Force Academy cadet Nathan Suess told me on Monday in Colorado Springs, Colorado, as he braced for punishment and retaliation during graduation week. The 21-year-old civil engineering major is one of four seniors who objected to the COVID-19 vaccine because of their deeply-held religious beliefs — as well as on irrefutable scientific and legal grounds.". . .

'You are doing nothing': O'Rourke accosts Abbott at press conference on shooting

"The morons that are praising Beto for disrupting the meeting are the same ones that said parents that disrupt school board meetings are domestic terrorists." Tex Aggie

 POLITICO  "Texas Democrat Beto O’Rourke confronted Gov. Greg Abbott at a press conference on Wednesday, accusing the governor of inaction on gun violence in the wake of a mass shooting at an elementary school that left 19 children and two teachers dead.

"Abbott, flanked by law enforcement officers and fellow Republican lawmakers, had just wrapped up giving an update on the Uvalde, Texas, shooting Wednesday afternoon — in which he said mental health was the root cause of the deadly event — when O’Rourke approached the stage.

“ 'Governor Abbott, I have to say something,” O’Rourke, who is running for the Democratic nomination to challenge Abbott in November’s midterm elections, said. “The time to stop the next shooting is right now and you are doing nothing.”

"The totality of O’Rourke’s remarks were difficult to hear as he was shouted down by those on stage who were speaking into microphones. Among those attempting to speak over O’Rourke was Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, a Republican, who told the former El Paso congressman to “sit down” and that he was “an embarrassment.”


'Sick Son of a B*tch': Uvalde Mayor Shouts Down Beto for Heckling (breitbart.com)  While repeatedly praised by Democrats, Beto rated a few biting comments from readers.

"Uvalde Mayor Don McLaughlin got it right the first time The RICH KID with the FAKE NAME yelling that Governor Abbott is responsible and interrupting to get TV time is as sick and disgusting as you can get

"Not surprisingly, leftist media Enemies of the People CNN / NPR / MSNBC are all giving Frito O'Dourke the attention he hoped he'd get. Not a one of them is reporting on the Mayor's apt assessment of the SOB. Doesn't help advance their agenda.

. . ."O’Rourke was confronted by Uvalde Mayor Don McLaughlin, who yelled back;

“I can’t believe that you’re a sick son of a bitch that would come to a deal like this to make a political issue.”

"At the same time, people in the audience, including the parents of some of the dead children, started screaming at Beto to “go home” Eventually, he was led out by the Police.". . .


Here are the nutcases who believe in 'replacement'

On MSNBC, they’re constantly sneering about “old white men” and celebrating the “browning of America.” A group called Battleground Texas boasts about flipping that deep red state to the Democrats — simply by getting more Hispanics to vote. Blogs are giddily titled, “The Irrelevant South” (“the traditional white South — socially and economically conservative — is no longer relevant in national politics”). MSNBC’s Joy Ann Reid tweets that she is “giddy” watching “all the bitter old white guys” as Ketanji Brown Jackson “makes history.” 

 Ann Coulter  "The “Great Replacement Theory” (GRT) has taken the media by storm! It seems that the white racist who shot up a grocery store full of black people last weekend cited GRT in his 180-page “manifesto.”

"First of all, journalists need to understand that GRT is only a theory taught in advanced law school seminars. It is not something designed for indoctrination of mass audiences of young people.

"So what is GRT? The New York Times describes it thus:

" '[T]he notion that Western elites, sometimes manipulated by Jews, want to ‘replace’ and disempower white Americans.” (You want a conspiracy theory about a secretive cabal of Jews? Check out the Times’ series of articles on “neoconservatives” back in the early 2000s.)

"But then — just as every argument about abortion suddenly becomes an argument about contraception — a few paragraphs later, the crackpot theory jumps from a Jewish cabal replacing whites with blacks … to the idea that Democrats are using immigration “for electoral gains.”

"Wow, that is nuts! Where’d anybody get that idea?

"Oh yeah — from liberals.

"Here’s Democratic consultant Patrick Reddy in 1998:

" 'The 1965 Immigration Reform Act promoted by President Kennedy, drafted by Attorney General Robert Kennedy, and pushed through the Senate by Ted Kennedy has resulted in a wave of immigration from the Third World that should shift the nation in a more liberal direction within a generation. It will go down as the Kennedy family’s greatest gift to the Democratic Party.' ”

(Well, sure, if you want to totally overlook skirt-chasing and pill-popping.)..."

They're Replacing YOU, Black America (townhall.com)     "Liberals are screwing over African Americans again, sublimely confident that whatever they do, Democrats will never get less than 90% of the black vote.

"In the Buffalo, New York, mass shooting 10 days ago, 18-year-old Payton S. Gendron drove 200 miles to a grocery store jam-packed with the descendants of American slaves and gunned down as many people as he could. But instead of this being an anti-black thing, the media have decided, no, it's an anti-immigrant thing, based on the shooter's belief in the "great replacement theory," which holds that elites are deliberately replacing historic Americans with immigrants." . . .

Children as political cannon fodder

 


'For God’s sake …': Joe Biden and the Texas tragedy - American Thinker  "For God’s sake, Mister President, don’t turn this tragedy into cheap political capital.

"I just watched President Joe Biden take a stab at playing the role of America’s “mourner in chief,” a role his Democratic predecessor, Bill Clinton, managed quite well.  That may, in fact, have been the only thing Clinton did which actually helped the country.  For all his many failings, Clinton knew the importance of helping people cope with tragedy.

"Unfortunately, Joe Biden didn’t crib this page from Bill Clinton’s playbook. He made it partisan fairly quickly, blaming the tragedy on the "gun lobby" and "gun manufacturers."

"Yet he started out well. As a man who’s lost two children, he has earned the right to let America know what the parents of those precious children must be feeling, and in doing so, give us moral guidance as we all come to terms with this most senseless of tragedies.  As a man who has lost a child – and my son’s mother – to two different and senseless tragedies, I deeply appreciate this role as taken by presidents of both parties, men who know how to help those suffering from a loss they can never overcome.

"After that, it became a political stump speech:". . .

Biden’s appalling response to the tragedy in Texas - American Thinker    

Regarding those errors, if Biden is going to play politics, let’s at least make sure his lies don’t stand unchallenged.

Definitive studies show that the 1994 “assault weapons” ban did not affect gun violence. Unsurprisingly, criminals ignored it.
