The "Old Midas Touch" of Obama's

That is amazing it's not even 3 cars deep.

I thought Sam Elliott was one of the good guys. Sad to hear that's not the case.

Truly pathetic. Trump has a larger crowd than that at the Honey Bucket line at one of his rallies.

The Crimson Kenyan has not changed a bit -

He is still a fraud, a carpet-bagger, a snake oil salesman, a grifter, a corrupt politician, full of shit and an embarrassment to this nation.

Dude, I played on two state championship high school teams, played four years of D-2 college baseball, coached youth baseball for 10 years, and have been to over 50% of major league stadiums around the country, and I wasn't even aware that the World Series was ongoing or which teams were playing. Something tells me I'm not the only one. MLB screwed itself this year, and I don't have an ounce of compassion for them.

Laptop connected to Hunter Biden linked to FBI money laundering probe:

FBI allegedly subpoenaed laptop and hard drive in 2019. It is unclear, at this point, whether the investigation is ongoing or if it was directly related to Hunter Biden.

Hunter biz partner confirms e-mail, details Joe Biden’s push to make millions from China: Goodwin

https://nypost.com/2020/10/22/...millions-from-china/



Wait until Scranton hears about this.

One of Joe Biden’s ways of contrasting himself with President Trump has been to declare the election a battle of Park Avenue values vs. Scranton, Pa., values.

Now we learn that Biden has secretly been playing footsie with China.

The statement Wednesday night asserting that the former vice president was a willing and eager participant in a family scheme to make millions of dollars by partnering with a shady Chinese Communist firm is a singular event in a presidential race already overflowing with drama and intrigue.

The dynamite assertion, believable because it aligns with earlier information we know to be true, came in a statement by Tony Bobulinski, who describes himself as a former partner of Hunter Biden, Joe Biden and Joe’s brother Jim in the China scheme. Bobulinski unloads his bill of accusations in blunt but precise language and detail.

He confirms that he was one of the recipients of the May 13, 2017, e-mail published by The Post eight days ago. That e-mail, from another partner in the group, laid out cash and equity positions and mysteriously included a 10 percent set-aside for “the big guy.”

Sources have said the “big guy” was Joe Biden. In a matter-of-fact manner, Bobulinski states that the “e-mail is genuine” and that the former vice president and the man leading in the 2020 race is indeed “the big guy.”

That claim alone rips out the heart of nearly everything Joe Biden has ever said about Hunter’s many businesses and Joe’s knowledge of them. His repeated insistence that the two never spoke of the son’s global sources of money didn’t pass the laugh test.

After all, they traveled together to China on Air Force Two, where Hunter landed a $1.5 billion commitment from a government-controlled Chinese bank. Then there was Hunter’s $83,000-a-month gig on the board of a Ukrainian energy company — despite his lack of experience in Ukraine or knowledge of energy.

It was no coincidence that the vice president was the Obama administration’s point man in both countries. Wherever Joe went, Hunter went along, not to do good, but to do well. Very well.

There were similarly lucrative deals in Russia, Romania and ­Kazakhstan — that we know of.

Emails reveal how Hunter Biden tried to cash in big on behalf of family with Chinese firm

Now, because his role in the China deal has been credibly confirmed, it’s beyond dispute that Joe didn’t just know what was going on. At least in this case, Joe was a player and had his hand out.

To that point, in perhaps the most devastating paragraph of the 689-word statement, Bobulinski writes that Hunter Biden also referred to his father as “my chairman and frequently referenced asking him for his sign-off or advice on various potential deals that we were discussing.”

“I’ve seen Vice President Biden saying he never talked to Hunter about his business,” says Bobulinski, who was the CEO of the company being formed. “I’ve seen firsthand that that’s not true, because it wasn’t just Hunter’s business, they said they were putting the Biden family name and its legacy on the line.”

That’s a remarkable line, one suggestive of the idea that the plan was always to sell Joe Biden’s fame and influence. In ­effect, Hunter, and sometimes Joe’s brother Jim, were turning the office of the vice presidency of the United States into a pot of gold for themselves.

What is not clear yet is whether Joe Biden had secret stakes in any of Hunter’s other deals. As for this one, while the date on the May 2017 e-mail would be nearly four months after Biden left the White House, it’s not known when discussions among the partners and with the Chinese first began. Certainly they started before the e-mail.

And while such deals would be legal for Joe Biden when he left government service, the facts take on extra significance during a campaign where China policy is a frequent topic — and a big dispute between Trump and Biden.

Earlier, during the Democratic primaries, Biden scoffed at the notion that the Asian power is a threat, saying, “China is going to eat our lunch? Come on, man.”

Time for Joe Biden to stop dodging questions on Hunter

When Trump blocked flights from China during the early days of the coronavirus outbreak, Biden accused him of “xenophobic fear-mongering” and labeled the president a “racist” for calling the disease the “Wuhan virus.”

Bobulinski, a former wrestler at Penn State University who spent four years in the Navy, insists he has voluminous evidence to back up his explosive charges, reportedly including documents, e-mails, messages and other proof.

Late Wednesday night, he uploaded many to a file- sharing service.

He also says that he turned over all his evidence to two Senate committees Wednesday that requested it.

An earlier report by one panel, the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, chaired by Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), revealed things about the Biden partnership that Bobulinksi says he didn’t know.

As he puts it: “The Johnson Report connected some dots in a way that shocked me — it made me realize the Bidens had gone behind my back and gotten paid millions of dollars by the Chinese, even though they told me they hadn’t and wouldn’t do that to their partners.”

He blasts much of the media and Big Tech for shielding Biden from questions after The Post published the China e-mail and one on Ukraine. Both were on a laptop computer Hunter left with a Delaware repairman and never retrieved.

“I could no longer allow my family’s name to be associated or tied to Russian disinformation or implied lies and false narratives dominating the media right now,” Bobulinski wrote.

While it’s far too early to say what effect the dramatic disclosures will have on the race, Trump is certain to raise them at Thursday’s debate.

Suffice it to say that Biden’s response will command America’s attention.
Full statement from Tony Bobulinski to The New York Post

My name is Tony Bobulinski. The facts set forth below are true and accurate; they are not any form of domestic or foreign disinformation. Any suggestion to the contrary is false and offensive. I am the recipient of the email published seven days ago by the New York Post which showed a copy to Hunter Biden and Rob Walker. That email is genuine.

This afternoon I received a request from the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Government Affairs and the Senate Committee on Finance requesting all documents relating to my business affairs with the Biden family as well as various foreign entities and individuals. I have extensive relevant records and communications and I intend to produce those items to both Committees in the immediate future.

I am the grandson of a 37 year Army Intelligence officer, the son of a 20+ year career Naval Officer and the brother of a 28 year career Naval Flight Officer. I myself served our country for 4 years and left the Navy as LT Bobulinski. I held a high level security clearance and was an instructor and then CTO for Naval Nuclear Power Training Command. I take great pride in the time my family and I served this country. I am also not a political person. What few campaign contributions I have made in my life were to Democrats.

If the media and Big Tech companies had done their jobs over the past several weeks I would be irrelevant in this story. Given my long standing service and devotion to this great country, I could no longer allow my family’s name to be associated or tied to Russian disinformation or implied lies and false narratives dominating the media right now.

After leaving the military I became an institutional investor investing extensively around the world and on every continent. I have traveled to over 50 countries. I believe, hands down, we live in the greatest country in the world.

What I am outlining is fact. I know it is fact because I lived it. I am the CEO of Sinohawk Holdings which was a partnership between the Chinese operating through CEFC/Chairman Ye and the Biden family. I was brought into the company to be the CEO by James Gilliar and Hunter Biden. The reference to “the Big Guy” in the much publicized May 13, 2017 email is in fact a reference to Joe Biden. The other “JB” referenced in that email is Jim Biden, Joe’s brother.

Hunter Biden called his dad ‘the Big Guy’ or ‘my Chairman,’ and frequently referenced asking him for his sign-off or advice on various potential deals that we were discussing. I’ve seen Vice President Biden saying he never talked to Hunter about his business. I’ve seen firsthand that that’s not true, because it wasn’t just Hunter’s business, they said they were putting the Biden family name and its legacy on the line.

Time for Joe Biden to stop dodging questions on Hunter

I realized the Chinese were not really focused on a healthy financial ROI. They were looking at this as a political or influence investment. Once I realized that Hunter wanted to use the company as his personal piggy bank by just taking money out of it as soon as it came from the Chinese, I took steps to prevent that from happening.

The Johnson Report connected some dots in a way that shocked me — it made me realize the Bidens had gone behind my back and gotten paid millions of dollars by the Chinese, even though they told me they hadn’t and wouldn’t do that to their partners.

I would ask the Biden family to address the American people and outline the facts so I can go back to being irrelevant — and so I am not put in a position to have to answer those questions for them.

I don’t have a political ax to grind; I just saw behind the Biden curtain and I grew concerned with what I saw. The Biden family aggressively leveraged the Biden family name to make millions of dollars from foreign entities even though some were from communist controlled China.

God bless America.

His likeness is used in a lot of conservative-leaning memes (usually "If you think ___, you're a special kind of stupid"), but he is a Democrat in real life.

If Bobulinski is such a patriot, why'd he wait until he was asked for all the documentation? Why didn't he become an informant in 2015.

He struck a deal!

Joe Biden is a liar and a fraud.
He has abused his office for nearly 50 years. All of the evidence on that laptop points to the abuse of power.

But we also have to focus on how destructive he would be to America, if elected President.

His tax policy, to pay for the "green new deal" and other lib ideas would be a nightmare for the American economy.

Home Depot Co-Founder: “Fraud” to Suggest Middle-Class Won’t Have Taxes Raised Under Biden

“It’s absolutely a fraud to suggest that the money that’s going to be needed is going to come from the rich or the super-rich.”

https://planetfreewill.news/ho...-raised-under-biden/

Home Depot co-founder Ken Langone ripped into the Biden tax plan on Wednesday when he said that it was a “fraud” to suggest that middle-class Americans won’t have their taxes raised if Joe Biden is elected President.

“First of all there’s a reality, you aren’t going to get the revenue numbers by just taxing the rich,” Langone told Fox Business.

“The only way a tax increase will generate revenues is to go after the middle class. That’s where the numbers are. These people are being misled,” he explained. “It’s absolutely a fraud to suggest that the money that’s going to be needed is going to come from the rich or the super-rich.”

Langone would add that the problem with going after the middle class with tax hikes is “you go after the backbone of the economy” and “we will have a bad recession” as a result.

The Home Depot co-founder believes that the Biden team is well aware that the idea of generating enough revenue through taxing the rich will not work and that lower and middle-class Americans will find this out “when its too late.”

Biden’s $4 trillion tax, to be implemented over the next ten years, was described as “the highest in American history - indeed, in world history” by Lew Uhler, chairman of the National Tax Limitation Committee, and Peter Ferrara a senior policy adviser to NTLF in their analysis published in The Hill.

The analysis showed that Biden’s plan would raise taxes on middle-class families by over $2,000 a year, with a $1,300 annual tax increase on a median-income, single parent with one child.

It also showed that the plan would double the current capital gains tax, pushing it towards 40% while increasing the death tax.

Separately, an analysis done by the D.C.-based Tax Foundation concluded that the Biden plan would reduce GDP by 1.47 percent over the long term.

[ZH: In fact, as The WSJ Editorial Board wrote last week, the issue is whether Mr. Biden’s policies will nurture this strong recovery, or slow it down as Barack Obama’s policies did after the 2009 recession.

This is where the Hoover study comes in, as it examines the Democrat’s proposals on health insurance, taxes, energy and regulation.

Overall, the authors estimate that the Biden agenda, if fully implemented, would reduce full-time equivalent employment per person by about 3%, the capital stock per person by some 15%, and real GDP per capita by more than 8%.

Compared to Congressional Budget Office estimates for these variables in 2030, this means there would be 4.9 million fewer working Americans, $2.6 trillion less in GDP, and $6,500 less in median household income.

The authors reach three key conclusions:

First, transportation and electricity will require a lot more inputs (including 1.3 million net additional energy workers) to produce the same outputs because of Biden’s ambitious plans to further cut the nation’s carbon emissions. Because these industries are a nontrivial share of the overall economy, that means 1 or 2 percent less total factor productivity overall. These effects would be significantly larger —likely dwarfing the (nontrivial) rest of the agenda—if the energy goals are taken literally. The costs would also be concentrated geographically.

Second, labor wedges (the amount of the value created by additional work that goes to third parties) are increased by proposed changes to regulation as well as to the Affordable Care Act (ACA). The quantitative findings for the ACA should be no surprise given the findings from previous efforts in the United States and other countries to expand health insurance coverage.

Third, Biden’s agenda reduces capital intensity by increasing average marginal tax rates on capital.

There is much more in the Hoover study, especially on the costs of returning to Obama-style regulation. Most of the media will ignore it, which is why we thought we’d provide readers with the full study.

President Trump on Wednesday said that Biden “will destroy our economy” with his plan to raise taxes.

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump
Remember, BIDEN is going to raise your taxes at a level never seen before. This will not only be very costly for you, it will destroy our economy, which is coming back very rapidly.

We suspect he is right.

It will be easier than that. Remember Radar talking to Col Blake? Here, sign this sir.
I guess they have to get Joe before inauguration if she's going to be the NEXT president. Hmmm, maybe they are going to need Hilary's services.
