Most underreported story: Evidence of the Biden family’s $ millions from China now documented with bank records

 


"It comes as no surprise that the propaganda arm of the Democrats called the “mainstream media” has no interest in informing the American people of the gravity of the evidence piling up that Joe Biden has been bought off by the Chinese Communist Party. Thanks to the efforts of James Comer, we already have bank records of $1 million flowing to Biden family members through a cutout named Rob Walker, shortly after Biden left office as VP.". . .

Comments to the above article:    

Everything Biden has done weakens America and strengthens China. A partial list: crippling our oil and gas industry, detonating an inflation bomb in the form of the Covid Relief Bill, turning our border over to Mexican human smuggling and drug cartels, weaponizing the DoJ and FBI against its own citizens for purely political purposes, and pushing toxic and divisive woke ideologies.

China openly declares they intend to destroy America and replace us as the world’s only remaining superpower. Hopefully they will ultimately fail, but in the meantime, Biden is making sure they get their money’s worth.

William H Dexter II  I suspect this is the reason for the timing of Trump's pending arrest. Nothin' to see here, folks. Speaker McCarthy, you're up!

Xi Jinping Rises as Biden Dithers

 Xi Jinping Rises as Biden Dithers | Power Line (powerlineblog.com)

It all began with Biden’s disastrous decision to abruptly withdraw U.S. forces from Afghanistan in August 2021. The move came as a thunderbolt, telegraphing Biden’s weakness and incompetence to the world. And he’s done nothing since to alter that perception.

 The utter failure of the Anchorage, Alaska, meeting between top U.S. and Chinese diplomats held in March 2021 set the tone for relations going forward. Diplomacy flew out the window at the get-go and did not return. The hostility coming from the Chinese was impossible to miss. It was made immediately and abundantly clear that then-Chinese Director of the Office of the Central Commission for Foreign Affairs Yang Jiechi had neither fear, nor respect, for U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken. 

"It was especially disturbing because the situation with former President Donald Trump’s Secretary of State Mike Pompeo had been so completely different. In the photographs below, the same Yang who displayed such contempt for Blinken and to the United States of America, is shown smiling and bowing before Pompeo. 

"Since that time, the weakness exhibited by the Biden administration on the world stage has only emboldened the Chinese and their undisguised goal of surpassing the U.S. as the world’s greatest superpower is moving forward with surprising ease.

"Last week, we learned that China had brokered a deal between Iran and Saudi Arabia to restore diplomatic relations. According to the Wall Street Journal:

The deal signals a sharp increase in Beijing’s influence in a region where the U.S. has long been the dominant power broker, and could complicate efforts by the U.S. and Israel to strengthen a regional alliance to confront Tehran as it expands its nuclear program. It comes as the U.S. has been trying to broker a peace deal between Saudi Arabia and Israel, an effort now clouded with uncertainty.. . .

Wait: Trump's Indictment Is Now 'On Hold'

  PJ Media


Wait: Trump's Indictment Is Now 'On Hold' – PJ Media   "Donald Trump announced on Saturday morning that he would be arrested on Tuesday, and the nation has been agog at the prospect of the Leftist establishment crossing the rubicon of arresting its principal opponent on flimsy charges and demonstrating before the entire world that the American republic is now the American banana republic, in which foes of the regime can expect the full weight of corrupt government authority pushing back against them for daring to dissent.". . .

Meanwhile, Trump’s former lawyer Michael Cohen, whose betrayal of his former client started this whole business about Trump having paid hush money to a porn star (which is what he might be arrested for, not any of the literally dozens of other crimes that Democrats have claimed he has committed over the last few years, up to and including trying to overthrow the government of the United States), “has told reporters he expected to be the grand jury’s final witness when he testified last Monday and Wednesday.” So whoever is slated to appear on Monday is a surprise witness.

Andrew McCarthy Lays Out What a Turkey the 'Nakedly Political' Case Is Against Trump – RedState   "There’s been a lot of reaction about the possible indictment of President Donald Trump, although his spokesperson says there has not been any formal notification of an arrest, and Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg’s office hasn’t formally commented on the matter.

"George Washington law professor Jonathan Turley wrote about a lot of problems in the alleged impending case against President Donald Trump including potential statute of limitations questions depending upon what is charged, that the feds refused to pursue this charge and the Manhattan DA seems to be trying to “effectively prosecute a federal case long ago rejected by the Justice Department.” He also pointed out how there was no push for prosecution when “Hillary Clinton faced a not-dissimilar campaign-finance allegation.”

"As I noted, Turley also pointed out the banana republic look of such an action. “The criminal justice system can be a terrible weapon when used for political purposes, an all-too-familiar spectacle in countries where political foes can be targeted by the party in power.”

"Now add Andrew McCarthy, a former Assistant U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, into the phalanx of folks finding a big problem with such potential action. He’s not shy about it either. He wrote in his National Review column that the reported indictment against Trump was a “disgrace” and was a “nakedly political” move by a progressive prosecutor to benefit the Democratic party in the “long term.' ”

Is The DEI Juice Worth The Squeeze? (reason.com)   . . ."When a university empowers DEI to deem speech "harmful," DEI will deem speech "harmful." When a university empowers DEI to designate spaces as "safe," DEI will deem spaces as "safe." When a university allows DEI to treat some people as "oppressors," DEI will treat those people as "oppressors." When a university teaches students that "harmful" speech has no place on a campus, the students will take steps to prevent "harmful" speech on their campus. This protest was a direct byproduct of what students have learned for years.

"Every word in Steinbach's speech reinforces these core planks of DEI. And her speech was obviously prepared in advance. She was so confident in her beliefs that she delivered those remarks, knowing she would be recorded. Steinbach no doubt thought she was on the right side of the university. Did Dean Martinez approve this conduct in advance? Or did Steinbach thinks she did not need to run her tirade by the Dean first? In either case, we have witnessed the endgame of DEI. These officials are empowered to extend their tendrils into every facet of an academic institution, with or without the backing of the Dean. Their mission is not to promote learning or academic inquiry, but instead to advance a specific ideology, which I refer to as DEIdeology. These beliefs are not trying to achieve a goal of neutrality. Rather, consistent with anti-racist teachings, they seek to use their newly-acquired power to elevate preferred messages and to deplatform "harmful" speech.". . .

Stanford University administrators wrong to uncritically defend DEI Dean Tirien Steinbach - Worldnews.com (wn.com)

An appalling event took place at Stanford Law School last week. Federal Judge Kyle Duncan had been invited to speak by the Federalist Society law student organization. When Judge Duncan was not permitted to speak due to heckling, he asked for an administrator to be summoned. The administrator who showed up was Associate Dean of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Tirien Steinbach.

A two-tiered justice system and the perils of a Trump arrest

Driving this witch hunt against Trump is Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, and even the Washington Post has raised questions about the merit of the case. There is one report that his office is now "in chaos."


American Thinker   "Last March, the Federal Election Commission fined Hillary Clinton's 2016 campaign $8,000 and the Democratic National Committee $105,000.

"Their crimes were the obscuring of their funding for the infamous "Steele dossier." The Clinton campaign attempted to disguise payments to Steele as "legal services" and "legal and compliance consulting" in campaign filings.

"Lawyers working for the Democrats in 2016 hired research firm Fusion GPS to ‘investigate’ Trump. The firm then paid former British intelligence officer Christopher Steele and his company, Orbis Business Intelligence, to conduct ‘opposition research.’

"The Steele dossier was replete with spurious claims and conspiracy theories. It was passed on to politicized government agencies which used it as one of the reasons to spur the Mueller probe.

"The probe lasted for almost two years, cost $32 million of taxpayer funds, and hung like a sword over the Trump presidency.

"The subsequent Durham probe has yielded nothing so far and is unlikely to in the future.

"Hillary’s campaign paid Christopher Steele via her campaign for the dodgy dossier of falsehoods and then mischaracterized the expense as legal service payments.

"Yet all that Hillary, her campaign, and the Democrats received was a symbolic slap on the wrist in the form of a fine.

"Now about President Trump:". . .

Trump was the only modern president to not start a new foreign war norescalate an existing war. Trump attempted to protect the border. Trump empowered people with his robust economy.

Trump talks about draining the swamp and ending the monopoly of the bloated and politized government agencies. It was reported that he has a plan in place to dismantle the deep state.

The Washington Democrat establishment simply cannot risk having Trump as president again; they have earned their monopoly after decades of efforts and shady tactics, and they will not let go easily.

BAIL DENIED: Experts Say Trump Could Rot in Jail

Tommi Lahren sounds off on 'flimsy case' against Trump

 BAIL DENIED: Experts Say Trump Could Rot in Jail • Liberty Hub

Can you even imagine the response from the American people?

"The placidity of the weekend was shattered on Saturday when news broke that former President Donald Trump was anticipating arrest on Tuesday, as part of the Manhattan District Attorney’s investigation of alleged “hush money” payments to adult actress Stormy Daniels.

"Trump himself was predicting the peril, asking his followers to make their voices heard and “take back our nation” from the Deep State forces that were targeting him.

"Now, one legal expert is suggesting that the former Commander in Chief could be denied bail after his arrest on account of his ability to invoke a response from his base.

Trump claimed on his Truth Social account that the Manhattan DA’s office will arrest him on Tuesday –  and branded the probe ‘corrupt and highly political’, calling the alleged hush money payment an ‘old and fully debunked fairy-tale.’

Glenn Kirschner, an MSNBC legal analyst, has compared the all-caps rant to his posts leading up to the Capitol riot on January 6, 2021 – and said it could affect the terms of his release.

He speculated that a judge could interpret Trump’s post as an attempt to incite a crowd to riot – raising the specter of him being held behind bars to prevent him posting further inflammatory communications ahead of any trial.

#BoycottHersheys Campaign Goes Viral, Company Accused of Erasing Women

"Hershey Canada’s International Women’s Day campaign was met with ire and criticism after the company decided to include Fae Johnstone, a transgender woman, on chocolate bar wrappers with four women. Johnstone is a professional LGBTQ+ advocate and award-winning activist, according to Forbes. In response, #BoycottHersheys began to trend on Twitter.

"Johnstone, who goes by “they/she,” is Canada’s 2019 Youth Award winner. He is described as “a nonbinary and transfeminine educator, organizer, writer and trouble-maker based on unceded, unsurrendered Algonquin Territory (Ottawa, ON).”

“ 'As a 25 year old trans woman of South Asian heritage with lived experience,” Johnstone writes, “my work comes from a place of understanding that my communities (trans/2-spirit/gender non-conforming, sex-working and/or drug-using) are at the highest risk of violence.”

Biden: Spending Hundreds of Billions in Fed-Printed Money Does Not Cause Inflation

 

Norman Rockwell: Cartoons - American Thinker

President Joe Biden claimed that Democrats’ policies have not contributed to the highest inflation rate in 40 years.
“I’m sick of this stuff. We have to talk about it because the American people think the reason for inflation is government spending more money. Simply not true!” Biden said at a House Democratic retreat in Philadelphia on Friday.

Georgia Dems reportedly less than thrilled that Stacey Abrams wants to run again -

Bobby Kahn, the former head of the Democratic Party of Georgia, suggested Abrams would lose if she ran again and told the AJC it was time for her to move on.


 American Thinker  "I wonder how many Georgia Democrats have going through their minds the old classic from Dan Hicks and his Hot Licks, “How can I miss you if you won’t go away?”

"Laurel Duggan reports for the Daily Caller News Foundation:

Former Georgia Democratic gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams has floated the idea of running for office again after her last two failed campaigns, but some state Democrats are ready for her to move on, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

Abrams‘ 2022 campaign outraised her rival, Republican Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp, by $8 million, with the vast majority of donations coming from out of state, but ran out of money, lost the race and is still facing major debts. Despite her 2018 and 2022 losses, Abrams has not ruled out a third run for governor, prompting worry from some Georgia Democrats, according to the AJC.

“I will likely run again,” Abrams said in January. “If at first you don’t succeed, try try again. If it doesn’t work, you try again.”

Bobby Kahn, the former head of the Democratic Party of Georgia, suggested Abrams would lose if she ran again and told the AJC it was time for her to move on.. . .

Twelve reasons things are not going well in America

 Twelve reasons things are not going well in America - American Thinker

"Anyone paying attention to the news, even if following only mainstream outlets, knows that something is terribly wrong in America. Day by day it becomes more and more evident that a large portion of our citizenry does not comprehend the enormity of the pickle we are in.

"Author Yuval Levin opens his 2020 book, A Time To Build, with this observation:

We Americans are living through a social crisis. This is a straightforward fact, and easy to see. And yet part of this crisis, one of its symptoms, is that we can’t seem to get a handle on what it is that’s wrong. It’s sometimes even hard to tell whether the rage, foreboding, a despair that so often shapes the national mood are themselves the essence of the problem or are marks of a deeper dysfunction.

"Amen.

‘Absolute moron’: Douglas Murray slams CNN anchor for ‘racist hatred’

Comment to this post: "As an American, I cannot apologize enough for the moronic media we are stuck with here in America. Yes, they are ignorant, hateful and money hungry. Queen Elizabeth was loved by millions of us and we send love, prayers and our apologies for the morons that waste the airwaves."

Comments to this post:

"Mr. Murray's claims about America's give me cash mentality is dead on. I'm American and I'm sickened by my countrymens rush to claim victimhood at every turn. We are in a downward spiral due to this mindset. Bless your country and your right thinking citizenry. And God bless the Queen.

Thank you for restoring my faith in my country. I've heard so many terrible things about us that it's become overwhelming, to the point where I apologise the minute I speak for some crime or other.
It's exhausting, mentally and emotionally, to feel responsible for things done so many years ago, despite knowing that we have made reparations and apologies already. Enough is enough.
Thank you to everyone who has written something lovely about us, our country and especially our late Queen.
