Grassley and Comer Say They’ve Found Evidence of Biden Getting PAID OFF for ‘Policy Decisions’

Frontpage Mag

Comer declared, “The American people need to know if President Biden sold out the United States of America to make money for himself. Senator Grassley and I will seek the truth to ensure accountability for the American people.”

"Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.) wrote to Gestapo chief Merrick Garland and his henchman, FBI top dog Christopher Wray, on Wednesday with some allegations that were positively explosive. Grassley and Comer say that they’ve “received legally protected and highly credible unclassified whistleblower disclosures” regarding a “criminal scheme involving then-Vice President Biden and a foreign national relating to the exchange of money for policy decisions.” Would anyone really be surprised if it were positively determined that Old Joe Biden was paid off by foreigners to set policy in a way they dictated?

"If this is accurate, it would involve not just Biden but Barack Obama as well. This is because the vice president doesn’t have any Constitutional authority to make policy decisions, and quite aside from the Constitution, Obama, who famously said, “Don’t underestimate Joe’s ability to f**k things up”, is unlikely to have given Old Joe any real authority to do anything. So if a foreign national was paying Old Joe to make policy decisions favorable to himself, they would almost certainly have had to have the approval of the Man Whose Tan Suit Was His Only Scandal.

The implications of this cannot be understated. It would be no surprise if Old Joe were confirmed as the corrupt kleptocrat he has long been reputed to be, but if this bribery scheme did end up reaching Obama, it could have a serious impact on the Democrats’ present electoral chances and even upon their continued ability to sew up elections left and right by means of ballot harvesting, mail-in ballots, and other present-day chicanery. The only problem is that the very agencies that ought to be energetically pursuing this issue are part of the same corrupt Leftist establishment that dominates Washington. Consequently, it’s not at all clear that the truth about this will ever come out.

$50 Trillion For What? Kennedy Dumbfounds Biden Climate Peddler In Fiery Exchange Over 'Carbon Neutrality' |

 ZeroHedge

"Biden Deputy Secretary of Energy David Turk highlighted the absurdity of the climate grift this week during a Senate Appropriations Subcommittee hearing, when Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) couldn't get a straight answer out of him over the cost of going 'carbon neutral.' ". . .

Watch (with full exchange here):

Biden official: It's going to cost trillions of dollars. There's no doubt about it.⁰⁰

Me: So, if the U.S. spent $50T to become carbon neutral by 2050, how much is that going to reduce world temperatures?⁰⁰

Biden official: *No answer* pic.twitter.com/6u8QmeJRdq

 . . ."As energy expert David Blackmon writes in the Daily Caller;

And there we have it. Americans are being asked to accept the force-feeding of an incredibly radical set of policies with a price tag that is unprecedented in global history to achieve a “carbon neutrality” goal, whose benefits are so nebulous, negligible and wholly reliant on the cooperative actions of other countries beyond U.S. control that they cannot be measured in any reliable way.

Instead, we are being told by senior political appointees forcing those policies into being that we should simply trust them because they think it is the right thing to do in their “heart of hearts.”

This is madness. For some context, $50 trillion is an amount that exceeds the gross domestic product of the U.S., China, India, Germany and Japan, combined. It is a number that drastically exceeds total U.S. national debt. It is more than 135 times the $369 billion in green energy subsidies contained in last year’s Orwellian-named Inflation Reduction Act (IRA).

That is five new IRAs each year for the next 27 years. Madness.

"Madness indeed."

Afghanistan Surrender Was A Tragedy Biden Caused; Now He's Blaming Others -

 The Lid (lidblog.com)

"The White House issued a bewildering 12-page report two weeks ago, defending their calamitous surrender in Afghanistan 20 months ago. This was such gaslighting that even corporate media pushed back.

"The death of 13 American military personnel, hundreds of thousands of Afghans seeking to escape the chaos, and girls who can no longer receive an education, made CBS deem the withdrawal “one of the darkest moments of the Biden presidency to date.”

"Yet the White House chose to double down on its grievous errors, declaring that Joe Biden “is very proud” of how it was carried out and insisting the evacuation was chaos free. In reality, the operation was an international catastrophe, and its consequences have been tragic.

"Biden ruined much of what our military accomplished during two decades of sacrifice in Afghanistan. The Taliban’s enormous strategic victory — with more than $7 billion worth of U.S. weapons, ammunition, aircraft, materiel, and vehicles — was given to them on a silver platter. Millions of civilians have plunged into destitution thanks to Biden’s rogue move. Many Afghans, who risked their lives to assist us, were left behind to face the wrath of the Taliban.

"The tumult that accompanied the haphazard retreat, with visions similar to Saigon’s fall, conveyed a message of American weakness that Vladimir Putin undoubtedly used as a red carpet to invade Ukraine a few months later.

"The Afghanistan debacle properly took a toll on Biden’s popularity. . ."

Navy SEAL Who Killed Bin Laden Reacts To Navy Drag Queen Digital 'Ambassador': 'I Can’t Believe I Fought For This Bullsh*t' ⋆ Conservative Firing Line

"As we and others reported, the U.S. Navy went full woke when it emulated Anheuser-Busch, using a so-called “non-binary” drag queen to work as a “digital ambassador” as part of its recruiting effort.  That prompted Rob O’Neill, the Navy SEAL who killed al Qaeda terrorist Osama bin Laden, to lash out at the Navy in a profane tweet.

“Alright. The U.S. Navy is now using an enlisted sailor Drag Queen as a recruiter. I’m done. China is going to destroy us. YOU GOT THIS NAVY. I can’t believe I fought for this bullshit,” he said on Twitter.". . .

Dem’s Smear Campaign Against SCOTUS Conservatives Boomerangs On Sotomayor -

 The Lid (lidblog.com)

"You’d almost have to be blind not to notice the full-court press in the campaign to discredit GOP-nominated members of the Supreme Court.

"Oppo research has dug up stories about friends, relations, and travel — insinuating that these Justices have been somehow ‘on the take’ when, on closer inspection, there is no evidence of rulings being influenced, of improper gifts, or even any indication that the instances cited are equal to or less than similar gifts afforded to their Democrat-nominated counterparts.

"Wave after wave of critical stories come out as if to confirm everything Justice Thomas once said in his confirmation hearings about ‘high-tech lynchings.’ The attention is always laser-focused on what they can dig up about the conservative judges.

"Critics on the right are nearly unanimous in their condemnation of this tactic as a naked attempt to discredit some judges, so they can ‘fix’ the ‘problem,’ so they can control the one branch of government that is an impediment to their agenda.". . .

REPORT: Charges Against Hunter Biden May Be Imminent –

 

REPORT: Charges Against Hunter Biden May Be Imminent – PJ Media "A decision on whether to charge Hunter Biden is imminent in the investigation led by U.S. Attorney David Weiss of Delaware, according to sources cited by The Washington Post.

“ 'The people familiar with the matter said Weiss is nearing the end of his decision-making process, although they offered no specific timetable,” the report explains. “They cautioned that the probe has taken longer than some officials thought it would, frustrating some law enforcement officials, and conceivably could slow down again before a decision has been reached.”

"Biden’s lawyers reportedly met with prosecutors to receive an update on the case last week. Sources have claimed that Hunter Biden has received preferential treatment during the agency’s investigation, which has been ongoing for four years and reportedly involves potential tax crimes and gun-related charges. Two senior law enforcement sources told NBC News last month that most of the work on Hunter Biden’s case was completed around a year ago and expressed frustration over its mishandling.

“ 'Any decision could have a significant impact on President Biden, who just launched his reelection campaign, bringing national attention to a sensitive topic that aides often struggle to broach with the president,” the Washington Post admits. Newly released emails offer fresh evidence contradicting Joe Biden’s repeated denials of any knowledge regarding Hunter Biden’s business activities. The emails show that Hunter Biden was selling access to his father during the latter’s tenure as vice president under Barack Obama." . . .

The Biden 'Bribery' Report Shows Joe Must Go

  Katie Pavlich   "It’s official. President Joe Biden is running for re-election and taking Vice President Kamala Harris along with him. 

"In only two years at the White House, Biden has caused enormous damage to the country, threatened U.S. national security and weakened America throughout the world with his disastrous foreign policy.
 
"In his re-election video, Biden claims he’s standing up for the freedoms of Americans. Reality and Biden’s actions tell a different story.
 
"Biden has repeatedly targeted political opponents with the full force of the federal government and violated the fundamental rights of Americans. He’s destroyed the economy with sky-high inflation, implemented Marxist policies in the mortgage system (which will lead to another housing crisis) and forced hardworking Americans to pay off the student debt of wealthy degree holders. He’s made it a habit of tearing down fundamental American values about hard work and personal responsibility. All of this while partnering with his son Hunter to sell out the country to foreign adversaries.
 
"Biden talks about freedom, yet he’s targeting your Second Amendment rights with calls for gun bans and by signing executive orders. Government bureaucrats, with his endorsement, have violated the First Amendment through Big Tech censorship. Not to mention his efforts to fire thousands of Americans after they said no thank you to an ineffective vaccine.". . .

'The View' Somehow Managed to Get Even Worse as Writers' Strike Leaves Whoopi Totally Lost

So these women are not the bitter scolds we have thought them to be; that they voice the writer's opinions? Just as Joe Biden and KJP's words are those of someone in the bowels of the Democrat party! The Tunnel Dweller

 IJR  "It turns out, the legal department’s lawyers aren’t the only writers for “The View.”

"Most Americans who are even aware of ABC’s hour-long exercise in intellectual ineptitude probably look at “The View” like a particularly annoying happy hour in a college town: A collection of wealthy, ill-informed women voicing utterly conventional opinions on the “hot topics” of the day.

"But the Writers Guild of America strike that started Tuesday revealed there’s something else going on besides the usual limousine leftist echo chamber — and Whoopi Goldberg & Co. weren’t dealing with things particularly well.

At the top of the hour, Goldberg — the de facto ringmaster of the chattering circus — announced to the viewers of “The View” that the show was going on despite the writers’ strike, and the warts might show.

They showed — almost immediately.

At the top of the show, Whoopi warns that The View is not going to be funny for a while because all their writers are on strike.

US Weakness Invites Iranian Attacks on Shipping in the Gulf

There is only two ways to respond to Iranian regime aggression: forceful military action, and by empowering the Iranian pro-democracy movement.

American Thinker   On Wednesday we learned that the Iranian regime has seized a second oil tanker recently in the Persian Gulf, forcing it to dock at an Iranian port under orders from the regime's "judiciary."

It was seized by Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps Go-fast boats in the Strait of Hormuz. This remains the world's most important oil transit chokepoint, according to the US Energy Information Administration, where roughly 20% of the world’s oil transits every day.

"The Pentagon subsequently informed us that these two incidents were just the latest of fifteen cases since Biden came to the White House where Iran has threatened or attacked international shipping in the Persian Gulf region.

"These kind of attacks are unacceptable. The Iranians know that, and I guarantee you our enemies and adversaries know that. And yet the Iranians act with impunity. Why?

"For starters, they know the current U.S. President. Biden has been taking money and supporting pro-Tehran regime lobbyists since at least 2002, when a group of Tehran-supporters threw a fund-raiser for him in California that brought in $30,000.". . .

Soros-backed prosecutor mired in scandal resigns from office

  Fox News   "An embattled George Soros-bankrolled prosecutor in St. Louis resigned Thursday amid a legal effort by Missouri's attorney general to fire her for allegedly neglecting her duties.

St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kimberly Gardner, the city's top prosecutor, is stepping down following repeated, bipartisan calls for her resignation from officials across the state.

"Gardner's office tweeted her resignation letter, which was addressed to the people of St. Louis.

"Gardner is one of the first progressive prosecutors whom Soros, a liberal billionaire and Democrat mega-donor, bankrolled in 2016 and again for her re-election in 2020. She announced last month that she would seek a third term. Her resignation is effective June 1.

"For years, Gardner's office has faced criticism for mishandling cases and office dysfunction. The final straw for Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey came in February, when a teenage volleyball player visiting St. Louis with her team was struck by a car and lost both of her legs.

"A man was charged in the crash with assault, armed criminal action and operating a motor vehicle without a valid license. He was out on bond awaiting trial for a separate armed robbery case despite violating the terms of his bond several dozen times.". . .

Charging Decision in Hunter Biden Case Reportedly Imminent, Major Concerns Arise Amidst News

That entire arrangement is cause for major concern. It makes no sense, and one would suspect that Morris has been promised (or is actively receiving) something in return. Wealthy people don’t normally dump millions of dollars into degenerate drug addicts for no reason. 

 RedState  "Could there finally be light at the end of the tunnel regarding the federal criminal investigation into Hunter Biden? According to a new report from The Washington Post, citing numerous sources, a charging decision is now imminent and the investigation itself is essentially complete. "That news comes after four years of rumors and speculation surrounding the probe, including lots of questions about why it has taken this long to near its culmination.

Prosecutors are nearing a decision on whether to charge President Biden’s son Hunter with tax– and gun-related violations, according to people familiar with the matter, the culmination of a four-year investigation that Republicans have sought to portray as evidence the Biden family is corrupt.

Biden’s attorneys met at Justice Department headquarters in downtown Washington last week to discuss the case with U.S. Attorney David Weiss of Delaware, according to the people familiar with the matter, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss an ongoing criminal investigation. Typically, that sort of meeting — in which defense lawyers urge prosecutors not to seek an indictment of their client, or to seek reduced charges —comes toward the end of an investigation.

"According to the same sources, law enforcement officials have been frustrated by the painfully slow pace of the investigation. Taking four years to prepare a case involving tax fraud and a cut-and-dry gun crime charge against a single person is not typical, and it’s led many to rightfully speculate that politics has played a role in how the situation has been handled.". . .

WATCH: KJP Refuses To Say Why The Bidens Don't Acknowledge Their 7th Grandchild

 (trendingpoliticsnews.com)  "During Tuesday’s White House briefing, Karine Jean-Pierre declined to comment on the ongoing child support trial in Arkansas involving Hunter Biden, the President’s son. Despite being asked about why the Bidens have not acknowledged the child, KJP refused to answer any questions on the matter.

"When asked if the President and First Lady were monitoring the trial, KJP simply replied, “I’m not going to speak to that from here.”

When pressed further about why the Bidens have not publicly acknowledged their seventh grandchild, KJP responded, “I’m not going to speak to that.”  WATCH:

"Hunter has been in an ongoing legal battle with Lunden Roberts over child support payments for their daughter. During a hearing in an Arkansas court, Hunter’s lawyers argued that he could not continue to pay the current amount of $20,000 per month and is financially strapped. 

"However, Roberts’ lawyer argued that Hunter is living lavishly and has not provided complete financial details, particularly regarding his art sales. The judge criticized Hunter’s legal team for concealing financial details and ordered them to refile papers, suggesting that a subpoena could be issued to force the gallery to reveal the names of buyers and prices of the art. The judge also ordered both parties to appear for all future court dates and expressed her desire to see the case resolved soon.". . . What would daddy do, Hunter?

Liberal SCOTUS Justice Caught in Scandal That Blows up Recent Left-Wing Attacks

 RedState   "There’s one certainty in politics. If a Democrat is accusing a Republican of doing something, it is the Democrat who is inevitably actually doing it.

"That dynamic played out again Wednesday after a major revelation about Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor called into question all the recent left-wing attacks on Justices Clarence Thomas and Neil Gorsuch.

"For the last few weeks, a coordinated assault on the court’s conservatives has taken place, with numerous press outlets releasing reports supposedly detailing corruption. In reality, essentially everything charged amounted to nothing legally or ethically. In the case of Thomas, he was not required to report the free travel he received from long-time friend Harlan Crow. A secondary charge that Thomas misreported income also turned out to be nothing more than a simple technical mistake involving two entities with nearly identical names.

"As for Neil Gorsuch, he was accused of selling land to the executive of a law firm that had business before the Supreme Court. Once again reality got in the way of the far-left hysteria, though, after it was revealed that Gorsuch sold the property just nine days after being confirmed and that the person he sold it to had no business at all before the court at the time.

"You get the idea. These attacks have been absolutely ridiculous, but that didn’t stop Senate Democrats from calling a hearing to furiously wag their fingers. Well, they are going to have to call another hearing because it’s been revealed that Sotomayor took $3.6 million from a book company that did have business before the court at the time (The Daily Wire).". . .

Sonia Sotomayor received over $3 million for her books from Penguin Random House publishing and then didn't recuse herself from a case in which they were involved before SCOTUS where the company stood to lose money.
