New York Times story seen as effort to put spin on bad news Long before the New York Post's blockbuster, election-eve stories on Hunter Biden's laptop in 2020, investigative reporter and author Peter Schweizer documented the Biden family's international business of selling access to the White House for millions of dollars. Schweizer's 2018 book "Secret Empires: How the American Political Class Hides Corruption and Enriches Family and Friends" and a follow-up, "Profiles in Corruption: Abuse of Power by America’s Progressive Elite," presented evidence that five members of the Biden family cashed in while Joe Biden was vice president.

Oil And Politics: Beijing plays the debt card as the Obama administration quietly lets China acquire major ownership interests in oil and natural gas resources across the U.S. at the same time it blocks the Keystone pipeline. Normally, foreign investment in the U.S. is to be welcomed. It creates jobs, boosts economic growth and promotes trade and exports. But when that investor is an ambitious and increasingly belligerent China to whom we owe over a trillion dollars, eyebrows and concerns need to be raised. Reversing a Bush administration policy, the Obama administration is encouraging Beijing to acquire equity interests in...

Remember when the story about Hunter Biden’s X-rated laptop broke in October 2020, how everyone in the Deep State including their card-carrying fellow travelers in the Democrat media unanimously dismissed it as “Russian disinformation?” Well, now it turns out that the narrative of Russian disinformation was nothing more than Democrat disinformation. Of course, anyone paying any attention always knew that the laptop was 100% legit — all the crooked Biden deals, the pornographic images of drug-addled Hunter with Russian hookers, and most importantly the references to the 10% kickbacks to “the Big Guy.” But there was an election to win,...

Ashley Biden, Joe Biden’s daughter, apparently left her diary behind or someone stole it from her and it was problematic for Joe Biden, both in terms of allegations concerning Ashley and Hunter. Project Veritas was offered the diary and decided against publishing it, but another conservative site, The National File, did publish it. James O’Keefe of Project Veritas turned it over to law enforcement. However, on Sunday, after raiding the homes of two of his journalists and taking their notes and documents. The raid on O’Keefe’s home was a pre-dawn raid. The FBI shone white lights in his face, threw...

A taped conversation between Hunter Biden and an unidentified stripper devolved into a therapy session where the president’s son promoted stripping as a great career choice for intelligent, talented women. In the May 2018 recording, Biden appeared to be an expert of sorts, saying he’s been “to almost every club on every continent except one and every country that I can think of from Cairo … to China.” The strippers he met along the way aren’t proud of their jobs but they should be, because every woman has the “ultimate toolkit.” The recording was contained in the laptop Biden allegedly...

Washington(CNN)The US intelligence community said in a landmark report Tuesday that the Russian government meddled in the 2020 election with an influence campaign "denigrating" President Joe Biden and "supporting" former President Donald Trump, detailing a massive disinformation push that successfully targeted, and was openly embraced, by Trump's allies. Russia's objectives were not limited to hurting Biden's candidacy and aiding Trump's reelection bid, the report says, as US intelligence found that Moscow also sought to undermine "public confidence in the electoral process and exacerbate sociopolitical divisions in the US." Overall, the report released by the Office of the Director of National...

Hunter Biden kept a diary on his laptop and it’s bad. If America knew the real Biden family they would never be allowed in the White House, ever. When Hunter Biden is himself, he is an animal. He is a drug addict who isn’t curtailed by money or the law, like most all drug addicts are. He has lots of money from corrupt deals with some of the most violent people on earth and he is immune from the law due to being the son of Joe Biden. Hunter is one of the sickest people on this planet. We can...
