Old yeller: Biden's private fury



In public, President Biden likes to whisper to make a point. In private, he's prone to yelling.

Behind closed doors, Biden has such a quick-trigger temper that some aides try to avoid meeting alone with him. Some take a colleague, almost as a shield against a solo blast.

The president's admonitions include: "God dammit, how the f**k don't you know this?!," "Don't f**king bullsh*t me!" and "Get the f**k out of here!" — according to current and former Biden aides who have witnessed and been on the receiving end of such outbursts.

Why it matters: The private eruptions paint a more complicated picture of Biden as a manager and president than his carefully cultivated image as a kindly uncle who loves Aviator sunglasses and ice cream.

Some Biden aides think the president would be better off occasionally displaying his temper in public as a way to assuage voter concerns that the 80-year-old president is disengaged and too old for the office.

Zoom in: Senior and lower-level aides alike can be in Biden's line of fire. "No one is safe," said one administration official.

Biden aides still talk about how angry he got at Jeff Zients, then the administration's "COVID czar," in late 2021 when there was a shortage of testing kits as the Omicron variant spread. (The rage was temporary. Zients is now Biden's chief of staff.)

A spokesperson for Zients told Axios: "I'm not going to speak to what internal convos may or may not have happened between Jeff and the president."

The White House declined to comment.

"There's no question that the Biden temper is for real. It may not be as volcanic as Bill Clinton’s, but it's definitely there," said Chris Whipple, author of "The Fight of His Life: Inside Joe Biden’s White House."

Whipple's book quotes former White House press secretary Jen Psaki as saying: "I said to [Biden] multiple times, 'I'll know we have a really good, trusting relationship when you yell at me the first time.'"

Whipple notes: "Psaki wouldn't have to wait long."

Zoom out: Biden's temper comes in the form of angry interrogations rather than erratic tantrums.

He'll grill aides on topics until it's clear they don’t know the answer to a question — a routine that some see as meticulous and others call "stump the chump" or "stump the dummy."

Being yelled at by the president has become an internal initiation ceremony in this White House, aides say — if Biden doesn't yell at you, it could be a sign he doesn't respect you.

Ted Kaufman, Biden's longtime chief of staff when the future president represented Delaware in the Senate, told Axios that Biden's process is policy-driven, and has made him a strong executive.

"If there is something that's not in the brief, he's going to find it," he said. "It's not to embarrass people, it's because he wants to get to the right decision. Most people who have worked for him like the fact that he challenges them and gets them to a better decision."

Some Biden aides argue that the president's rages reflect his high expectations for his staff.

"Speaking Biden" is a particular skill, they said. It can take years to learn to navigate his moodiness, and anticipate what information he's going to ask for in a briefing.

Some administration officials, many of whom went to elite schools, struggle with Biden's demand to ditch wonky, acronym-filled language and brief him as if they were talking to a close family member who isn't in the D.C. bubble.

Biden's defenders acknowledge he can be tough. But they also say he can be more generous and compassionate than many powerful politicians and can make them feel like family. That's partly why so many aides have worked with Biden for decades, and go in and out of his orbit, they say.

The big picture: Biden tries to conceal his temper in public but occasionally has shown flashes of it — and some former aides have written about it.

In January 2022, he was caught on a hot mic calling Fox News' Peter Doocy a "stupid son of a bitch."

Jeff Connaughton, a former Biden campaign and Senate aide who was chief of staff to Kaufman when he filled Biden's seat in the Senate, wrote about Biden's temper in his 2012 book on Washington corruption, "The Payoff: Why Wall Street Wins."

Connaughton wrote that as a senator, Biden was an "egomaniacal autocrat … determined to manage his staff through fear."

He told of a time during the 2008 presidential campaign when a 23-year-old fundraising staffer got into the car with Biden.

"Okay, senator, time to do some fundraising calls," the aide said. Biden responded by looking at him and snapping: "Get the f**k out of the car."

Connaughton told Axios that Biden "hides his sharper edge to promote his folksy Uncle Joe image — which is why, when flashes of anger break through, it seems so out of public character."

UAW doesn't even know they've been lead to slaughter despite Pedo Joe even saying he doesn't work for them!

Remember that time we all had to bailout the auto companies? It's going to happen again...FOOLS!


Biden’s Boondoggle: GM Ohio Plant to Enjoy $1B Annually in Subsidies While Workers’ Wages Cut in Half



President Joe Biden’s green agenda for the auto industry is set to shift billions in wealth away from American workers to multinational corporations, a new report from the United Auto Workers (UAW) details.

As part of Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act, automakers producing Electric Vehicles (EVs) and the batteries needed to power them could soon see a windfall of $220 billion by 2031 in the form of taxpayer-funded subsidies.

The subsidies are a result of a provision in the law that allows automakers to take advantage of tax credits so long as their EVs and batteries are primarily sourced in the United States and manufactured in the U.S., Canada, or Mexico.

The plan, though, is set to transfer billions in wealth straight into the pockets of multinational corporations — effectively an industry-wide bailout at the expense of taxpayers.

In the UAW report, the labor union looks at General Motors (GM) and LG’s EV battery plant in Lordstown, Ohio, known as Ultium Cells, which replaced GM’s old vehicle assembly plant.

While workers at the former plant earned up to $30 an hour, the UAW notes that workers at the Ultium Cells plant are earning about $16.50 an hour with a raise to $20 an hour after seven years. This suggests a 45 percent drop in wages for auto workers in Lordstown.

“We cannot allow a race to the bottom for America’s working families,” the report states. “The UAW fully supports the transition to a more climate-friendly auto industry, and we are convinced that it can be done without making workers pay the price.”

At the same time, GM and LG — through the Ultium Cells plant, alone — could rake in more than $1 billion annually in subsidies via Biden’s EV tax credits.

The UAW is worried the Biden subsidies will “be used to supercharge corporate profits” while slashing wages for workers.

“… there is a real danger that hundreds of billions in taxpayer dollars will subsidize an EV industry that underpays and endangers workers,” the report states.

As Breitbart News reported, the UAW is withholding an endorsement for Biden as the administration has yet to follow through on commitments that auto workers will not have their wages cut if their manufacturing jobs are transitioned to green energy jobs.

For years, Breitbart News has detailed how a publicly funded transition from combustion engines to EVs has the potential to eliminate millions of American auto jobs and leave auto workers with drastically cut wages.

The UAW "withholding" their vote??? [frypan] [frypan] [frypan]

They give the proles the day off IF they board the buses that just happen to show up in their workplace parking lots and magically appear wherever the DNC puppet du jour stumps to babble. The entire plant floor is littered with DNC propaganda from the rafters to the bulletin boards. Been there, seen it and despite knowing the DNC uses them like a slush fund...they STILL line up like the good little lemmings they are.

13 Reasons Joe Biden Isn’t The ‘Ethical’ President Time Magazine Claims



His actions paint a very different picture.

The corporate media kicked off the week with another outrageous story to spin President Joe Biden, the man guilty of politically persecuting his chief political opponent and potentially selling American policy out to foreign adversaries, as an “ethical” president. Biden is “reset[ting] the guardrails against … abuses of power” and “increas[ing] public trust in government,” reads a Time magazine article unironically titled, “Biden Is Resetting the Ethical Norms Trump Trampled as President.”

“President Biden is proud to have restored respect for the rule of law and will not exploit his office with convention events on the White House lawn,” Deputy Press Secretary Andrew Bates told the magazine. “He will not exploit his office for political gain in the way that we saw in the last administration,” Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre added.

Below are 13 reasons Biden is not “ethical,” and may in fact go down as one of the most corrupt and immoral presidents in American history.


1. Allegedly Accepting Bribes

A “highly credible” confidential human source alleges that when Biden was vice president, he took a bribe amounting to millions of dollars from a foreign national in exchange for influence over U.S. foreign policy. The foreign national cited in an FBI document the bureau tried to hide from Congress is reportedly Mykola Zlochevsky, the founder of the Ukrainian energy firm Burisma. Notably, Burisma granted Biden’s son Hunter a highly lucrative board position from 2014 to 2019.


2. Weaponizing the Government Against Trump

Biden’s Department of Justice has thoroughly weaponized itself against former President Donald Trump, Biden’s predecessor and probable 2024 presidential opponent, subjecting Trump to an aggressive FBI raid and ultimately charging him with 37 federal counts in a seriously flawed case related to Trump’s possession of classified documents.


3. Withholding Classified Documents

Speaking of which, after leaving the vice presidency, Biden kept a horde of classified documents and, unlike former President Trump, did not have the power to declassify said documents. Moreover, The Federalist’s Margot Cleveland reports that the Penn Biden Center, where many of Biden’s classified documents were discovered, “is located at a busy D.C. office building that spanned some 10 stories and included numerous public areas, including a reception area on the roof that hosted weddings and other private events.” Others were reportedly found in his garage. By contrast, “Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home was private and protected by the Secret Service.”


4. Unpersoning His Seventh Grandchild

The entire Biden family, including the president, has disowned Navy Roberts, the 4-year-old daughter of Hunter Biden. According to Navy’s mother, neither Hunter nor Joe have ever even met Navy. Not only has the Biden family prevented little Navy from assuming the Biden surname, but President Biden continually tells the media and the public that he has only six grandchildren, rejecting his seventh grandchild. Good, ethical grandfathers don’t abandon or act ashamed of their innocent grandbabies.


5. Waging War on the First Amendment

In a preliminary injunction last Tuesday, a U.S. district judge detailed an appalling number of instances in which the Biden administration colluded with Big Tech companies to annihilate the First Amendment. As I wrote last week, Biden illegally partnered with social media companies to censor a range of people and topics, such as “the Hunter Biden laptop story, the lab-leak theory, anyone who questions the integrity of the 2020 election, anyone who questions the security of voting by mail, anyone who questions climate change, pro-lifers, people who believe in the sex binary, negative posts about the economy, and general criticism of the president.”


6. Sniffing Kids

Biden has been caught inappropriately sniffing, kissing, and stroking little children throughout his political career. Why does the president continue to invade children’s personal spaces, making them visibly uncomfortable despite public and media criticism?



7. Enabling Hunter

Biden’s son Hunter has a troubled history of drug addiction, alcoholism, partying with hookers, illegal possession of a firearm, and alleged tax evasion to the tune of millions of dollars. Yet in spite of it all, the president has maintained he’s “proud” of his son. Biden is even believed to have allowed Hunter to move into the White House with his girlfriend and 3-year-old son to avoid being served papers by Navy Roberts’ mother, who is demanding her daughter’s absent father turn over records of his finances as required by her child-support lawsuit.


8. Limiting Press Access

In his first year in office, Biden reportedly did half as many news conferences as former President Donald Trump. Even the media have criticized the president for his lack of communication with the press and therefore lack of transparency with the American public.


9. Refusing to Say Who Brought Cocaine into the White House

Sometime after Hunter apparently moved into the White House, staff had to evacuate the building when cocaine was found in the West Wing. Since then, the Biden administration has fed stories to the media claiming the perpetrator will likely never be found. The White House is heavily surveilled to ensure the safety of the president. The cocaine culprit should be easily identifiable by simply backtracking the security footage, but the Biden administration, which does not respect the law and is highly secretive with the public, refuses to do so.


10. Plagiarizing

The president is guilty of multiple instances of plagiarism, beginning during his law school days, when he admitted to copying a law review journal for an academic paper. Later, he withdrew from his 1988 presidential campaign after it was revealed that he plagiarized the late Robert F. Kennedy and British Labour Party leader Neil Kinnock in campaign speeches.


11. Lying Nonstop

Speaking of Biden lies, The Federalist has kept a running list of all the falsehoods Biden has told since assuming office. So far, there are 237, and the lies range from how many grandchildren he has to the state of the economy and, perhaps most ridiculously, his past as a supposed civil rights activist. In reality, Biden publicly admitted he wasn’t a civil rights activist decades ago. Plus, he once eulogized a former Exalted Cyclops of the Ku Klux Klan and opposed busing to desegregate schools because he said it would cause his children to “grow up in a racial jungle.”


12. Hosting Naked Trans People on the White House Lawn

During a White House LGBT “pride” event, transgender activists danced around topless. Biden should have known that inviting a group of activists who are routinely guilty of public obscenity and targeting children with explicit performances and material are not appropriate guests for a “family” event, let alone one at the White House.


13. Looking at His Watch as 13 Service Members Killed in Afghanistan Were Carried off a Plane

Biden’s sloppy withdrawal from Afghanistan, which will go down in history as one of America’s most humiliating failures, stranded thousands of Americans, U.S. allies, and their families and led to the deaths of 13 U.S. service members. During the dignified transfer of the 13 deceased service members at Delaware’s Dover Air Force Base, Biden repeatedly checked his watch. Apparently, the commander-in-chief didn’t have the patience to honor the men and women who died thanks to his incompetence and failed leadership.

Biden Proposal Would Give Foreign Climate Group Veto Power Over U.S. Military Contracts



British environmentalist group was founded with money from a liberal dark money group


A new Biden administration rule aimed at reducing carbon emissions would give approval authority over large U.S. defense contracts to a little-known British environmentalist group that just incorporated two weeks ago.

Under the White House’s proposed rule change, a London-based group called the Science Based Targets Initiative that is funded by the Democratic Party’s main dark money network would be responsible for approving the carbon emissions reduction plans of large federal contractors.

The Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) is a fee-based service that helps companies set emissions reduction targets in line with the Paris Climate Agreement and verifies their progress. But its foreign status and murky financial background raise questions about the Biden administration’s decision to outsource its vetting process to the group. Critics say the proposal would give SBTi enormous veto power over American defense contracts and access to potentially sensitive data about U.S. military suppliers.

"I think Americans will be upset when they realize the Biden administration is trying to put a bunch of unelected bureaucrats and a climate activist group—headquartered in London—in charge of long-term planning for our national defense contractors," said Travis Fisher, a senior energy research fellow at the Heritage Foundation.

The rule change is expected to impact 671 large contractors across multiple federal agencies, and steer an estimated $1.2 million in mandatory fees to SBTi each year, according to the proposal, which is still awaiting approval from government administrators.

Although SBTi publicly launched in 2015, the organization didn’t officially exist until June 26, when it filed incorporation papers in London, according to United Kingdom business records reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon. The group is not registered in the United States. SBTi didn't respond to a request for comment.

Before its incorporation, SBTi was a partnership co-managed by five activist groups, including the "We Mean Business Coalition," a front group for a $900 million left-leaning dark money organization called the New Venture Fund. The off-the-books arrangement allowed SBTi to operate without filing financial disclosures for nearly a decade.

In 2015, the New Venture Fund, which promotes Democratic policies through an array of unincorporated shell organizations, helped launch and fund SBTi through the We Mean Business Coalition.

"Since its inception, [the We Mean Business Coalition] has been funding SBTi and mobilizing business towards science-based targets. One of our earliest milestones was reaching 150 corporate commitments to SBTi in 2016," said the We Mean Business website, where it also described itself as a "project of the New Venture Fund."

SBTi's connection to the New Venture Fund could raise questions about its political leanings. The New Venture Fund is facing scrutiny over its charity status, after the Free Beacon reported this week on a trove of internal documents and whistleblower allegations that indicate the group engaged in prohibited political activities during the 2020 elections. The documents also show that the liberal network maintains a high level of involvement in groups that it funds.

SBTi has also faced criticism from former allies over potential conflicts of interest and lack of transparency. Bill Baue, a sustainability expert who served on SBTi’s technical advisory board until 2020, described its operations as "ad hoc and haphazard" and compared the group’s leadership to the "Keystone Cops."

Baue said the organization doesn’t appear to have any procedures in place to address financial conflicts, ethics issues, or proper governance. When he voiced these issues internally, and later, in a formal complaint, he said leadership brushed him off and refused to respond.

SBTi would be "operating in a quasi-regulatory stance" under the Biden administration’s proposed rule change, Baue told the Free Beacon. "And yet it doesn’t have the kind of checks and balances or transparency for such an organization…certainly there’s reason to be concerned."

These issues could add to objections already raised by lawmakers and U.S. businesses. The American Bankers Association submitted a public comment criticizing the rule change in February, saying it "hands practical regulatory powers to non-governmental organizations" without verifying the "suitability of these organizations" to carry out the work. BP questioned the legality of the rule, saying it "effectively appoint[s] a third-party arbiter to determine which companies are eligible to be major contractors."

House Science, Space, and Technology Committee Chairman Frank Lucas (R., Okla.), who sent a letter to the Federal Acquisition Regulatory Council in March warning that the proposal could have "detrimental consequences for our national security and mission readiness," is looking into holding hearings on the matter, sources told the Free Beacon.

The idea for SBTi first took shape in 2013 during a meeting between climate activists and researchers at the Washington, D.C.-based offices of the World Resources Institute, a well-established environmental nonprofit funded by many of the left’s top benefactors, including the Rockefeller Brothers Fund and George Soros’s Open Society Institute.

SBTi didn’t register as a stand-alone entity for eight years after its launch. Instead, it was staffed and co-managed by five activist groups: the New Venture Fund’s We Mean Business Coalition, the World Resources Institute, the Carbon Disclosure Project, the World Wildlife Fund, and the UN Global Compact.

Because of this arrangement, SBTi was not required to file public financial records disclosing its income, spending, salaries, and other information. The We Mean Business Coalition was also able to avoid filing such disclosures until 2021, when it spun off from the New Venture Fund and registered as a stand-alone nonprofit group.

Parker Thayer, a researcher at the Capital Research Center watchdog group, said this lack of transparency is common for projects associated with the New Venture Fund.

"The New Venture Fund is a dark money titan from the left that specializes in creating the appearance of broad public support" through unregistered front groups, said Thayer. "[They] allow the left to create the image that numerous organizations support their cause when in reality it’s all a one-man puppet show."

SBTi has also faced internal complaints. Baue said he was dropped from the technology advisory committee without explanation in 2020 after he expressed concerns that SBTi was using a weak methodology for setting emissions reduction targets. That method was created by one of SBTi’s parent groups, the World Wildlife Fund, which Baue said raised questions about "conflicts of interest and self-dealing."

"The effect is that [SBTi] monopolized the marketplace by removing any competition" from independent measurement standards, he said.

Baue added that SBTi’s validation service—in which it charges companies a fee to approve their emissions reduction targets and plans—also poses a conflict of interest, because it could give the group a financial incentive to weaken its standards in order to attract more paying clients.

"If you’re the standard-setter and you’re also making money from the validations there’s at least a temptation to water down your standards in order to continue to have a flow of validation revenue," said Baue.

AWKWARD: Joe Biden Makes Uncomfortable Joke About His Memory Loss with Israeli President (VIDEO)

By Cristina Laila Jul. 18, 2023 2:40 pm

Biden held a bilateral meeting with Israeli President Isaac Herzog in the Oval Office on Tuesday.

80-year-old Joe Biden hunched over and mumbled incoherently during the meeting.

Joe Biden made an uncomfortable joke about his memory loss.

“As I’ve often said, if it wasn’t for Israel [unintelligible], and uh, 75 years, 75 years. It’s hard to believe. Hardly do I even remember two-thirds of those,” Biden said.

Biden doesn’t remember two-thirds of the past 75 years.

Nothing to see here, move along.

The Israeli president awkwardly smiled.

Biden’s right: His disastrous ‘Bidenomics’ is no accident


“Folks, it’s no accident. It’s Bidenomics in action.”

This dizzying refrain by President Biden and his team has been relentlessly repeated over the past month online, on television, and in speeches across the nation. The message is also heading to Pittsburgh and other cities across the country as part of the administration’s “Bidenomics” tour.

I will admit the slogan is largely true — but not in the way the White House intends.

Since the president took office in January 2021, the American people have watched as Bidenomics wreaked havoc on their 401(k)s, destroyed their financial security, and decreased their wealth by $33,000 just this year.

Remember the empty baby formula aisles amidst crippling supply chain shortages? That’s Bidenomics.

How about the record gas and food prices, which forced some Americans to decide between feeding their family or filling up at the pump? That’s Bidenomics.

Or that American wages are failing to keep up with record inflation? That’s also Bidenomics — and has been going on for 26 straight months.

Unsurprisingly, the White House paints a much rosier picture of our national outlook. They’ve turned Bidenomics into a full-scale national press tour — misleading and deceiving the American public.

So, let’s examine each claim the Biden administration has made in recent days to misguide our families and what the reality is for many living in the United States.

“More jobs added in two and a half years than any president has ever created in a four-year term. And more reasons Bidenomics is working.” — President Biden on July 7, 2023

Let’s be clear: A job “recovered” from the pandemic is not the same as a job “created.” Biden gleefully smudges these numbers together and counts both as his own work — much like an ode to his law school days.

“Inflation-adjusted income is up 3.5% since President Biden took office, and low-wage workers have seen the largest wage gains over the last year — helping power our economy.” — The White House on July 11, 2023

The president’s own federal government data doesn’t even support this claim. When President Biden took office, inflation-adjusted average hourly earnings were $11.41 per hour. Fast forward to today, and that number has dropped to $11.05 an hour.

I’m a lawyer and Navy veteran — not a mathematician — but even I know that’s a clear decrease, not an increase. Being told a lie doesn’t help American workers pay their bills. Real wage growth does.

“Bringing down inflation remains one of my top priorities.” — President Biden on July 6, 2023

It’s too bad this wasn’t the president’s actual focus on Jan. 20, 2021. He repeatedly fails to mention that his administration is the key driver for record inflation.

For months, President Biden and Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen took to the airwaves to proclaim that inflation was “transitory” or passed the blame on others with the equally bogus “Putin Price Hike.”

Of course, this was all nonsense. As usual, American families bared the brunt for this failed leadership and dealt with price increases not seen in 40 years.

“I cut the deficit $1.7 trillion in two years. Nobody has ever done that.” — President Biden on July 6, 2023

This may be the biggest falsehood of the bunch. Contrary to the president’s claim, his policies have added $3.5 trillion to the national debt. So, what is President Biden taking credit for this time? The expiration of emergency pandemic spending, which the Biden administration unbelievably attempted to extend long after the pandemic was behind us.

These deceptions relayed by President Biden and his surrogates showcase how disconnected Washington elites are from the middle-class families they serve and represent. No amount of ridiculous rhetoric can underscore the fact that prices have increased nearly 17 percent under the president’s reign, causing 57 percent of workers to say they’re living paycheck-to-paycheck.

That’s unacceptable. Americans are rightfully angry about the state of the economy — and I don’t blame them.

Until six months ago, Bidenomics ran freely through the House, Senate and White House with little resistance under Democrat control. One consequence of this open season of spending was the laughably misnamed Inflation Reduction Act, which cost American taxpayers hundreds of billions of dollars. Prior to passage, the Congressional Budget Office concluded that its impact on inflation would be “negligible.” The University of Pennsylvania agreed, determining that “the impact on inflation is statistically indistinguishable from zero.”

Ouch.

Some may struggle to say it’s a mere coincidence that record inflation resulted from President Biden’s massive legislative spending. But not if you were a former economic advisor of President Obama — or have a massive slip-up in a congressional hearing like Yellen, who admitted in December 2021 that Biden’s spending led to this inflationary disaster.

But hey, remember folks — this is all no accident. It’s Bidenomics in action.

https://thehill.com/opinion/congress-blog/4104931-bidens-right-his-disastrous-bidenomics-is-no-accident/ 

No, its no accident at all. It's an orchestrated dismantling of the United States of America brought to you by dummies.

President Grover Cleveland, the last of the Jeffersonian Democrats never heard of ‘Bidenomics’, but he was the Anti-Biden in all imaginable ways.

Grover Cleveland’s Veto of a Taxpayer-Funded 4th of July Celebration Holds an Important Lesson for Modern Americans

If America ever falls into the crevasse of financial ruin, one reason will be that we stopped electing men and women like Grover Cleveland.

Thursday, June 29, 2023
Lawrence W. Reed

When the city council of Buffalo, New York, sent the mayor a measure to fund Fourth of July celebrations in 1882, conventional wisdom suggested that approving it was the politically wise and patriotic thing to do. After all, the money would pay for festivities planned by the Grand Army of the Republic (GAR), a very influential organization of Civil War veterans.

The conventional wisdom underestimated the mayor. He vetoed the appropriation, and proudly took the heat for it. After a year in the job in which he earned the title, “the veto mayor,” he moved on to become “the veto governor” of the State of New York and finally, “the veto president” of the United States. His name was Grover Cleveland. On the matter of minding the till and pinching pennies on behalf of the taxpayer, he puts to shame the great majority of public officials here and everywhere.

In his recent biography titled A Man of Iron: The Turbulent Life and Improbable Presidency of Grover Cleveland, Troy Senik recounts Grover’s message explaining the veto:

"[T]he money contributed should be a free gift of the citizens and taxpayers and should not be extorted from them by taxation. This is so because the purpose for which this money is asked does not involve their protection or interest as members of the community, and it may or may not be approved by them."

This was a man unafraid to draw the line on public spending for two principal reasons: 1) Government should not be a grab bag of goodies for whatever cause somebody thinks is “good” and 2) Failure to keep government spending in check encourages politicians to buy votes and corrupt the political process.

That all sounds quaint and frumpy in these enlightened times of trillion-dollar deficits. Even more out-of-step with current fashion is what Cleveland did as soon as he issued his veto. Senik reveals,

"Cleveland made a personal donation equal to 10 percent of the GAR’s budget request, then deputized the president of the city council to help raise the rest through private funds. In the end, the organization raised 40 percent more than it had requested from the city treasury."

Biden Names Delaware Home as Campaign HQ, Spurring New Call for Visitor Logs


House Republicans re-upped their demand for President Joe Biden’s visitor logs from his Delaware residences after his reelection campaign announced its headquarters will be based out of his private home in Wilmington.

The White House has refused to offer any transparency as to who visits the president at his Delaware residences, despite frequent visits to his home in Wilmington and vacation house in Rehoboth Beach.

“Joe Biden should enthusiastically offer to release visitor logs from both his homes,” said Rep. Pat Fallon, R-Texas, a member of the House Oversight Committee. “But don’t hold your breath—odds are you’re going to turn blue.”

An Associated Press analysis released in January estimated that the president spent more than a quarter of his first two years in office in Delaware.

Other estimates indicate that he has spent as much as 40% of his presidency on vacation—much of it in his home state.

House Republicans argued Biden was using his private residences as a shield from scrutiny, and that voters deserved better.

“Candidate Joe Biden promised, if elected, to have the most transparent administration in history,” Fallon said. “As president, he’s fallen woefully short.”

Rep. Byron Donalds, R-Fla., said Biden’s reelection campaign likely chose Delaware as its headquarters so that he can hide in the basement again—a reference to his 2020 campaign strategy, when his public appearances were limited, ostensibly in deference to the COVID-19 pandemic.

“Delaware is notably home to Joe Biden’s infamous basement, where his handlers will surely place him throughout the 2024 campaign,” Donalds said. “Joe Biden will comfortably hang out underground while his DOJ and the liberal media attack his political enemies.”

Biden’s weaponized Justice Department confirmed this week a second planned indictment against his top Republican rival, former President Donald Trump, while media also waged a smear campaign to discredit Biden’s top Democrat rival, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., as an anti-Semite.

The White House counsel’s office has defended Biden’s decision not to make public his Delaware home visitor logs, claiming that it is not standard practice for presidents to keep track of the visitors to their personal residences.

However, conservatives have pointed out that Biden promised the public increased transparency, which is being undermined by his refusal to make the visitor logs accessible.

“It’s an easy way to bypass the alleged transparency they’re promising,” Judicial Watch president Tom Fitton said.

Biden’s home has also become a crime scene on at least two occasions in recent memory.

In January, it came to light that several batches of classified documents—spanning all the way back to his time as a U.S. senator, had been discovered in unsecured areas of the home, including the garage.

More recently, a House Oversight investigation, with the aid of whistleblower testimony, revealed that the president’s son Hunter, while staying at the home in Wilmington, had extorted millions of dollars from a Chinese businessman with ties to the communist government’s espionage ministry.

Their warnings fell on deaf ears.

In August 2020, a search warrant uncovered a text between Hunter and Henry Zhao, an executive at a Chinese company that paid Hunter $100,000.

The text mentioned Joe Biden repeatedly.

The message, which indicated that Hunter was sitting beside his father at the time, was confirmed by geolocation, which placed both men at the Wilmington compound.

Neither has been held accountable for the criminal conduct to date.

EVERYTHING a Democrat has ever accused a Republican of doing...is only to deflect from their own shoddy behavior and lack of moral compass.




Explosive FD-1023 Exposes More Biden Bribery Dirt — And Teases Damning Evidence To Come



So much for Democrats’ claim that there is no evidence of Joe Biden’s complicity and corruption.

Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, just released a minimally redacted copy of the FBI’s FD-1023 detailing a confidential human source’s reporting of a criminal scheme involving then-Vice President Joe Biden and the Ukrainian business Burisma. According to the FD-1023 summary, Burisma’s owner specifically referenced the firing of Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin — the same man Biden bragged about Ukraine firing after his threat to withhold aid from the country while he was vice president.

After months of pushing the Justice Department and FBI to explain what investigative procedures they had undertaken in response to evidence implicating then-Vice President Biden in a criminal bribery scheme, Grassley released the unclassified copy of the FD-1023, which documented claims made by the “highly credible” confidential human source (CHS). Grassley had acquired the FD-1023 via legally protected disclosures by Justice Department whistleblowers.

While some of the information included in the FD-1023 has already been revealed by members of the House who previously reviewed the summary of the CHS’s reporting, the public release provides new explosive details related to the firing of Ukrainian prosecutor Shokin.

Among the CHS’s conversations with Burisma’s owner Mykola Zlochevsky, one took place shortly after Joe Biden made his first public statement about Shokin “being corrupt.” At the time, according to the CHS, Shokin was investigating Burisma, and Zlochevsky told the CHS that “Hunter will take care of all of those issues through his dad.”

Then, following Trump’s election in 2016, the CHS spoke again with Zlochevsky, who expressed dissatisfaction with Trump’s victory but noted that “Shokin had already been fired, and no investigation was currently going on…” Zlochevsky’s statement proves significant because Joe Biden had long claimed he pushed for Shokin’s firing because Shokin was not investigating Burisma — which is the exact opposite of the details summarized in the FD-1023.

Beyond putting the already known details in black-and-white for the public to read, such as Zlochevsky’s representation that he had 17 recordings of the Bidens and had never paid the “Big Guy” directly, the release of the FD-1023 is significant for another reason: The American public now knows the many details the FBI could have and should have investigated.

For instance, did Burisma or any other related entity purchase a Texas-based oil and gas company for approximately $20-$30 million during the relevant time period? Were the CHS and his business partner in Kiev in the 2015 and 2016 time period? Did the CHS’s U.S. business partner confirm the details of the meeting? Was the CHS in London during the relevant time in 2019? And did the FBI ever ask the CHS to record his conversations with Zlochevsky or attempt to turn Zlochevsky into an asset?

According to the FD-1023 report, in 2019, the CHS had offered to assist Zlochevsky if he wanted to speak to the U.S. government about the Bidens and what Zlochevsky claimed was their coercion of Burisma to pay the bribes. Did anyone ever ask the CHS to contact Zlochevsky? If not, why not?

The public release of the FD-1023 is significant now for a third reason: It comes on the heels of the IRS whistleblowers’ testimony Wednesday before the House Oversight Committee that suggested the CHS’s reporting corroborates other evidence.

During Wednesday’s hours-long hearing, IRS whistleblowers Gary Shapley and Joseph Ziegler both told lawmakers they had never seen the FD-1023. Significantly, Ziegler then stated: “There’s things that are contained on that document that could further corroborate other information that we might be having an issue corroborating because it could be regarding a foreign official. So if we have information regarding that in a document or a witness, we can further corroborate later evidence.”

But because federal law prohibits the discussion of confidential taxpayers’ information, other than through specific procedures, Ziegler did not detail what, if any, information they may have discovered during their investigation into Hunter Biden. Instead, Ziegler said, “if that’s something that we have, we can turn that over to the House Ways and Means Committee.”

This testimony suggests that the IRS’s investigation likely uncovered evidence the FD-1023 corroborated. With that form now public, both Ziegler and Shapley can study it and assess what documentary material, such as wire transfer reports, they uncovered that is now corroborated. However, that evidence will have to go to the House Ways and Means Committee before it is made public.

So much for Democrats’ claim that there is no evidence of Joe Biden’s complicity and corruption.

Grassley Releases Bombshell FBI Doc Discussing $10MM Biden Bribe; Burisma Boss Said Hunter 'Dumber Than His Dog'



Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA) has released a bombshell FBI document dated July 30,2020, in which a respected confidential human source (CHS) alleged that then-presidential candidate Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden received $10 million in bribes.

The document, a FD-1023 form, also alleges that the boss of Burisma, a Ukrainian energy firm which employed Hunter Biden to the tune of $80,000 per month, thought Hunter was a moron.

Hunter Biden "was stupid, and his (Zlochevsky's) dog was smarter," but the Burisma boss "needed to keep hunter [sic] Biden (on the board) "so everything will be ok.""

As the Epoch Times notes, the CHS said he traveled to Burisma’s office in Ukraine in 2015 or 2016 with a man named Oleksandr Ostapenko. During the meeting, Vadim Pojarskii, chief financial officer of Burisma, told the source that the company hired Hunter Biden “to protect us, through his dad, from all kinds of problems.”

Burisma contacted the source to seek assistance in buying an American company to merge with in the hope that it could go public in the United States.

After an investigation of Burisma by Ukraine Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin was disclosed in 2016, the source told Mykola Zlochevsky, the owner of Burisma , that the disclosure would have a negative impact on the prospective initial public offering. Mr. Zlochevsky replied that Mr. Hunter Biden “will take care of all of those issues through his dad,” according to the document.

Mr. Zlochevsky was also cited as saying that it cost $5 million to pay one Biden, and $5 million to pay another Biden.

The source replied that payments to the Bidens would complicate matters and the Bidens did not have experience with the oil and gas sector, according to the document. Mr. Zlochevsky said his dog was smarter than Mr. Hunter Biden but that he needed to keep him on the board “so everything will be okay.” Both Mr. Hunter Biden and Mr. Joe Biden had told Mr. Zlochevsky that Hunter Biden needed to remain on the board, Mr. Zlochevsky said.

Around the same time, Mr. Joe Biden, the U.S. vice president at the time, was pressuring Ukrainian officials to fire Mr. Shokin. “We’re leaving in six hours. If the prosecutor’s not fired, you’re not getting the money,” Mr. Joe Biden said at a public event about the interaction, referring to a $1 billion loan guarantee he threatened to withhold. “Well, son of a [expletive]. He got fired.”

Mr. Shokin has said that the threat was cited when he was ousted. He said in a sworn statement that then-Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko “asked me to resign due to pressure from the U.S. presidential administration, in particular from Joe Biden.”

The FBI source told the bureau that he gleaned from the conversation that payments had already been made to the Bidens, presumably to deal with Mr. Shokin.

Read the entire release below:

In May, House Republicans laid out evidence of a vast network of Biden family dealings which reek of corruption - including;

The Biden family received, and tried to hide, over $10 million in payments from foreign nationals
A previously undisclosed $1 million in Romanian-linked payments
Ties to Romanian 'influence peddling'
A 'web' of 20 LLCs created while Joe Biden was Vice President with a 'complicated corporate structure'
'At least 15' of the LLCs were formed after Biden became VP in 2009 - several of which were owned or co-owned by Hunter
These LLCs accepted payments ranging from $5,000 to $3 million
The committee wants to know what legitimate business the Biden family was in

"Biden family members and business associates created a web of over 20 companies—most were limited liability companies formed during Joe Biden’s vice presidency," reads a memorandum. "Bank records show the Biden family, their business associates, and their companies received over $10 million from foreign nationals’ companies. The Committee has identified payments to Biden family members from foreign companies while Joe Biden served as Vice President and after he left public office.

"These complicated financial transactions appear to conceal the source of the funds and reduce the conspicuousness of the total amounts made into the Biden bank accounts. Chinese nationals and companies with significant ties to Chinese intelligence and the Chinese Communist Party hid the source of the funds by layering domestic limited liability companies," according to Chairman James Comer.

The FBI had all of this and still nothing? Wake up. It's like I've said repeatedly here...The DNC is a terrorist organization, The FBI is the SS for the DNC and the presstitutes are a Goebbels wet dream of propaganda for the uneducated masses to swallow.

I used to wonder how Germany fell under the spell of Hitler. I don't anymore. It's blind stupidity. The same stupidity that a supposed 81 million mask wearing booster taking fools surrendered for. They'd do it all again. And...they will.
