Joe Biden will be flying out to California next week to meet with Xi Jinping.
Even Joe gets an annual performance review from his boss.

The $40,000 Joe ‘the Big Guy’ Biden received was exactly 10 percent of the $400,000 Hunter Biden received from CEFC. //
before Sara Biden transferred $50,000 into their personal checking account from which they paid Joe Biden $40,000, their balance was $46.88. And before Hunter Biden transferred the $150,000 into the Lion Hall Group bank account, that account showed a balance of $1,964.62.
So whether James and Sara Biden actually owed Joe Biden $40,000 is irrelevant because the money they used to repay the supposed loan came from the Chinese company that Hunter and James groomed to serve as the family cash cow during Joe Biden’s vice presidency.
Sure, internet connectivity aided aid workers. But it also aided Hamas. Most of the press in Gaza seem to have a personal interest in seeing Hamas emerge victorious and armed Hamas terrorists (as an aside, why is it that no one mewling about the Geneva Conventions ever wants to mention that Hamas terrorists are illegal combatants and not covered by the Law of Land Warfare?) use internet and cell connections to plan terrorist attacks, monitor the progress of the IDF, and coordinate combat operations. //

An astoundingly simple three-move checkmate of Western civilization:
- UN & Israel must ensure safety of Gaza civilians.
- Civilians shield Hamas, hiding in its secure tunnels.
- Hamas attacks Israel, as Israel must not target Hamas because of civilians

The meddling in Israel's entirely just chastisement of Hamas will result in more Israelis and Gazans dead because imposing limits on violence in warfare does not add to the humanity of essentially inhumane activity. It merely drags it out to ensure more and more people are killed; factually, Sullivan is wrong when he says, "It does not lessen Israel’s responsibility under international humanitarian law to distinguish between terrorists and civilians, and to protect the lives of innocent people." Additional Protocol I of the Geneva Conventions says:
The presence or movements of the civilian population or individual civilians shall not be used to render certain points or areas immune from military operations, in particular in attempts to shield military objectives from attacks or to shield, favour or impede military operations.
The International Criminal Court statute covers the same ground.
Utilizing the presence of a civilian or other protected person to render certain points, areas or military forces immune from military operations” constitutes a war crime in international armed conflicts. //
The reason for White House meddling is apparent. The Biden administration is heavily infiltrated by Iranian agents who are developing US policy for the Middle East....
The roadblocks detailed by Scott Brady were so outrageous that at one point a lawyer for the minority party asked whether he was speaking in hyperbole. He wasn’t. //
The situation Brady faced was also much worse than the media have reported to date, as the full transcript of the interview, reviewed by The Federalist, establishes. Here are the seven most shocking details revealed during Monday’s hearing.
On Tuesday, Foreign Affairs Magazine published a lengthy piece authored by [National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan] on its website providing an overview of U.S. foreign policy under President Joe Biden. //
Most notable about Sullivan’s diatribe, however, are the significant differences between the online edition published on Tuesday and the print version published earlier this month. Included at the bottom of the online edition of Sullivan’s piece is an editor’s note revealing that the section of the article discussing Middle Eastern affairs had been “updated” from the print version “to address Hamas’s [Oct. 7] attack on Israel.” A closer look at the lines scrubbed from the original reveals what little understanding Sullivan and the Biden administration have of the geopolitical environment in the region. //
- All quiet on the Middle Eastern front
It’s tragically obvious that Sullivan’s original claim that the Middle East “is quieter than it has been for decades” holds about as much validity as Bruce Jenner’s belief that he’s a woman — Zilch.
Closed door testimony by former Pittsburgh US Attorney Scott Brady to the Judiciary Committee last week is a chilling case study of how credible corruption allegations against Joe Biden and his family were covered up by the FBI and DOJ — before and after the 2020 election.
Brady’s testimony fits a pattern revealed by Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley last week, in which over 40 confidential human sources gave information to the FBI, over several years, about potential criminal activity involving the president, his brother James and son Hunter. //
On Jan. 3, 2020, Brady was tasked by then-AG Bill Barr to vet allegations about Biden corruption that had been pouring into the FBI and US attorney’s offices around the country, including from then-President Trump’s attorney Rudy Giuliani.
Since it was an election year, Barr thought it prudent to treat such information skeptically, so Brady’s job was to weed out the credible from the garbage before it reached the existing Hunter Biden investigation being run by the Delaware US attorney since 2018. //
But Brady’s team kept hitting obstruction from the FBI, and from prosecutors in Delaware.
For instance, Brady testified that the FBI required 17 higher-ups to sign off on requests, “mostly at the headquarters level” where there always was a “choke point” that caused delays.
The FBI didn’t even open the assessment until March 2020, and the process had to be renewed every 30 days, via this unprecedented 17-person signoff.
FBI agents “had to go pens down sometimes for two or three weeks at a time before they could re-engage and take additional steps because they were still waiting on, again, someone within the 17-chain signoff to approve,” Brady said.
He was forced to go to the deputy attorney general’s office repeatedly to clear the logjams — at least five or six times in nine months.
FBI HQ also refused Brady’s request for a copy of their Domestic Investigations and Operations Guide, so he could pinpoint the deviations from procedure, and he was forced to scrounge a redacted copy from a public website.
In Delaware, Assistant US Attorney Lesley Wolf resisted all cooperation. Brady’s team’s requests for a briefing of what they had found were refused multiple times. //
When The Post broke the story of Hunter’s laptop, Brady said he was “surprised” that he had never been told that the FBI had the laptop in its possession.

We have an ongoing cover-up of the important facts as Joseph Biden is sitting in the Oval Office. We know that he stared right into the camera as the president and lied repeatedly—I mean, multiple times—he lied directly multiple times about his involvement and knowledge of his son’s business dealings. We all know that now. //
So, the question Johnson and most intellectually honest people are asking is why Biden lied. Why continually repeat a falsehood that he had no knowledge of the business dealings if they were all above board? The most logical answer is that they weren't all above board. //
Johnson said he believes there is "an overwhelming amount of evidence, and that seems to indicate that he was involved and that they did know about this, and that the family did benefit from it."
"I think we might be arguing about high crimes and misdemeanors, but I’m not so certain bribery is not involved in some way here, either," Johnson said. "And of course, bribery is specifically listed in the Constitution, and so we have an obligation to pursue it." //

The nerve of Mike Johnson to be making totally unfounded speculations!
Sure there are bank records. And wire transfers. And Special Activity Reports. And 20 LLCs. Oh and plenty of incriminating texts. And emails. Wait, I almost forgot about photos and WhatsApp messages. Ah, I just remembered the voice mail from Joe to Hunter about the NYT article. 2 key business partners confirmed that Joe was the Big Guy. Proof of personal checks shuffling $ around within the family. Oh and 2 IRS whistleblowers delivering the reeipts. And Biden on video bragging about he blackmailed Ukraine into firing the special prosecutor looking into Burisma.
Nope. No evidence whatsoever. Mike better be careful, I'm sure there will be a special prosecutor assigned soon to investigate and reveal his attempts to undermine democracy.

And we wonder how Hitler rose to power in Germany and the people stood by while atrocities were committed.
At least 25% of the Democrat party would openly support a Holocaust on US soil if they could see a political advantage to it and I might be really low. It might be closer to 50%.
Do you think people who support drugging and mutilating and grooming kids are going to have a problem with ethnic and religious genocide? Do you really think people who advocate for the death of anyone who won't join their religious devotion to the poison poke would really oppose genocide for other reasons?
If they support these things, there is no logical reason why they would not support other types of genocide. I'm sure if asked the question, they wouldn't admit it, but neither would Germany have admitted it in 1920, but in less than a generation, most of the population would do nothing or willingly assist as millions of Jews were rounded up, tortured, enslaved and murdered.
Yes, the President of the United States let "Muslim-American officials" edit his speech to ensure it wasn't too focused on those massacred by Hamas. You see, an equivalency must always be drawn. Sure, murdering Jews in cold blood for being Jews is terrible, but is it really any worse than claims of rising Islamophobia? //
The Biden administration has become an adult daycare where supposedly "marginalized" people get listening sessions and special concessions regardless of how personally oppressed they actually are. That leads to the absurdity of Israel, a country that just suffered the largest slaughter of Jews since the Holocaust, being pushed down the ladder in favor of more preferred groups. //
I understand that there are Palestinians in Gaza who have died needlessly due to what their leadership has brought upon them. With that said, when analyzing any war, you have to do so from a realistic footing, and it is simply ridiculous for Palestinians (and Muslims in general) in America to complain about being "totally left out" regarding messages of sympathy when it was Palestinians who marched across the Israeli border and butchered 1,400 people. //
In 2021, for example, the FBI recorded five times as many anti-Jewish hate crimes compared to anti-Muslim hate crimes. To the extent that Islamophobia exists, it is nowhere near the threat of antisemitism. In fact, it barely outstrips anti-Catholic hate crimes (9.6 percent vs. 6.1 percent).
Unlike Trump, Biden is not shaping global events so much as he is reacting to them. //
The Middle East is on fire. Eastern Europe is gridlocked in war. America’s southern border looks like a scene out of “Mad Max.” And Southeast Asia is a tinderbox that could ignite with one wrong move. After four years of expanding peace under President Donald Trump, President Joe Biden is presiding over a world careening toward mayhem. “Mean tweets and world peace” has a nice ring to it. But it’s also worth exploring why Trump’s unorthodox approach to foreign affairs produced such markedly better results than Biden’s heralded return to normalcy.
The current state of the Middle East — where most recently on Biden’s watch, Iranian-backed Hamas terrorists attacked Israel, slaughtered civilians, and even took American citizens hostage — is a case study in the contrast between the two presidents.
