Whistleblower claims Biden Crime family part of a gambling venture in Latin America
[MAIL] Joe Biden was involved in his son Hunter's foreign business deals while he was Vice President, a new whistleblower with direct knowledge claims.

The whistleblower has identified themselves to Senate investigators but asked to remain anonymous for fear of reprisals.

The informant says they were party to a 2012 conference call involving then-VP Joe, Hunter, 52, his business partner Jeff Cooper, 53, late Senate majority leader Harry Reid and his son Key Reid, 48, who was also in business with Hunter.

The Spring 2012 call was about Hunter, Key and Jeff's new venture into online gambling in Latin America, the whistleblower said, adding that Joe was active on the call discussing details of the business, and appeared to be involved as a 'silent partner'.

'He wasn't passive, he was talking about it. If I had to describe him, he was like a member of the Board of Directors,' the source said.

In a statement to DailyMail.com, Cooper denied ever having a call about any of his companies with the president or late senator saying it was a 'complete fabrication'.

Key, Hunter and the White House did not respond to requests for comment.

#1  These stories never seem to end well.
Posted by: Besoeker || 11/10/2022 2:08 Comments || Top||

#2  Not so. This is identical to what the Bidens’ CEO Tony Bobulinski swore in his affidavit: Brandon was heavily involved in the business. Bobulinski testified that Junior and his partners urged Bobulinski to meet up, face to face, with Brandon at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel on the sidelines of the Milken Conference for investors in May 2017.

This was their hand-picked CEO testifying. A lifelong Democrat and Navy vet of sterling reputation. Testifying that Brandon is deeply involved in their illicit JV with Chinese Communist officials and that Brandon is lying about his involvement.

And nothing whatsoever happened. Only Carlson picked up the story. The rest of the media consigned it to Hunter’s laptop status ie memory holed it.

Brandon Defiant: Red Wave ‘Didn't Happen' and ‘I'm Not Going to Change Anything'
[Breitbart] President Joe Biden taunted the media, pundits, and pollsters on Wednesday for their predictions of a Republican "red wave" in the midterm elections, telling Americans he would not change his policies after Democrats did better than expected.

"I’m not going to change anything in any fundamental way," he said.

Biden held a press conference at the White House to talk about the midterm election results, where he argued that Democrats had a "strong night" even though there was strong possibility of losing their majority in the House of Representatives.

When reporters asked the president about the future of his agenda and what he would change, Biden replied, "Nothing."

Voters, he argued, were "just finding out what we’re doing" on inflation.

"The more they know about what we’re doing, the more support there is," he claimed.

#1  ...I'd start being worried about a 'surprise' PRC attack on Taiwan.

Oh, and it will be a surprise, even is Xi sends a note that says, "Dear Joe - we're attacking Taiwan next Tuesday at threeish, Love, Xi." The Shadow Leadership will convince themselves it's nothing to worry about.

#2  Call it a wave, call it a ripple, call it anything you want. But the reality is this, the Dems lost the house. The Dems lost a large part of Long Island, they lost big in Florida. They might hold on to the senate. Winning by one vote or 50,000 is still winning and overall the dems lost. They are reveling in the fact the did not lose as bad as they thought. Give them a trophy and send the losers home.

#6  Given the results, I can't say I blame him. I don't like the Democratic agenda at all, but a lot of people apparently do.

Also, I think the market liked the inflation report this morning.

#9  Map looks redder

And yet there are still thousands of little Karens and demonic state & local totalitarians dominating our politics from coast to coast — with the exception of Florida, a few deep red Bible Bekt states and (maybe) South Dakota and Ohio.

We can’t trust the UniParty. We need to evolve into a much looser confederation of sovereign states, and peel the red parts off of the Woke USSA. “Jefferson” to leave CA, East Oregon to leave OR and join ID, “East Dakota” to secede from MN etc.

Let the Wokesters rot in their shithole enclaves on the coasts + ChIraq, Detwoit, Memphis etc.

Separate. Before things get kinetic.

#10  The blue bands on the coasts are shrinking. If someone asked me which do I want, a red wipeout today or a steady red tide for the next 20 years. It's not a hard choice.

#11  And, Billy B, I agree with you. Decentralization. Distributed systems are more robust.

When the American blue urban hellholes are emptied out, may it be a reversal image of what Mao did. Let's send all the hipsters out into the fields.

#13  Well Muriel the problem is that the Democrats (very cleverly) seized control of all the heretofore invisible offices that enable their monstrous control over us.

Take the “County Health Commissioner” post, for example. Little dictators can shut down entire swaths of our economy by screaming “COVID”. They can destroy an entire generation of school kids by mandating their monstrous spike protein experiment. And poof! the deplorable in the county have been crippled for good, economically physically and socially.

We all know now about school boards but it’s even worse at the college level. Woke administrators are now as numerous as students. Unfuckingbelievable, but true at most of our selective colleges. They have enormous power over our kids’ lives and now, thanks to Woke / D.I.E. political-loyalty tests for tenure and grad school admissions, they have huge power over the professions in this country. Soon you’ll have to demonstrate wokeness to get admitted to any American medical school.

They have extraordinary power. We cant dislodge them any time in the next 30 years. We have no choice but to separate.

#17  McConnel’s nickname should be Minority Mitch. His gig is to coordinate a group of porkers who sell their votes to Schumer for personal benefits. The game only works from the minority to allow the Dems to achieve their 60 votes for agenda items piecemeal. There is no benefit to his method for us. He has made his best effort, in this election, to remain in the minority. He needs to be ditched, preferably in a muddy ditch with rocks.

#18  I say we can march right back the other way. Takes 30 years? Let's get started.

Already being done. PTA is being taken back, city councils being taken back, local and state governments being taken back.

The woke, communist fucktards can't survive much longer in those position unless it is super blue. Here in Colorado they still are around in Denver and Boulder, but are being rolled back everywhere else.

#20  We all know now about school boards but it’s even worse at the college level. Woke administrators are now as numerous as students.

My sister is a professor at a third tier college. This is her second try at tenure — in both cases at schools that hired her explicitly to get a well-rounded CompSci PhD on staff to upgrade their program, which she did for both schools single-handedly — only to be caught up in staff down-sizing so severe that entire departments have been cut completely.

And college applications are down across the country. I think we’re seeing a lot of Roll left and die behaviour that’s going to result in lots of closed schools within the decade.

Fmr. CAIR-nik Zaynab Mohamed makes history as youngest woman elected to Minnesota Senate
[ShabelleMedia] Zaynab Mohammed became the youngest woman and one of the first Black women elected to the Minnesota Senate Tuesday night.

Zaynab, a 25-year-old Minneapolis resident, and former policy aide, received 86 percent of the vote with 97 percent of precincts reporting. She won in Senate District 63, which includes parts of south Minneapolis, Richfield, and Fort Snelling.

The Democrat-led Republican Shawn Holster by 72 percentage points.

"I’m honored that the people of South Minneapolis have placed their trust in me to serve as their next state senator," Zaynab said Tuesday night. "I’m incredibly grateful to my friends, family, campaign staff, and volunteers who made this historic night possible and for the unwavering belief they had in me throughout this campaign. There’s important work ahead and I can’t wait to get to work improving the lives of working Minnesotans."

The district almost always elects Democratic candidates and has witnessed previous historic wins. Senator Patricia Torres Ray was the first Latina to serve in the Minnesota Senate after being elected to represent the district. She served five terms in Senate District 63 and did not run for reelection, instead endorsing Zaynab as her replacement.

"When I first thought about running for office, it was because I wanted to make people’s lives easier, not harder," Zaynab said in August after winning the DFL primary. "It’s not just a campaign slogan; it’s a phrase that basically has meant a lot to us."

Zaynab was born in Somalia and grew up in south Minneapolis. She graduated from the University of Minnesota in 2019.

Zaynab previously worked as a policy aide for Minneapolis City Councilmember Jason Chavez. She also served as the community advocacy manager for the Minnesota chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations
... the Moslem Brüderbund's American arm ...
"I’ve walked the halls of the Senate for the past year-and-a-half lobbying for bills, and I never saw myself in there. There’s not a single Black woman," Zaynab told Sahan Journal when she announced her run. "We don’t have representation in the Senate."

Four other Black women are running Tuesday for Minnesota Senate seats and could make history as the first Black women elected to the state Senate in 164 years of statehood. The group plans to create a caucus for Black women in the Senate after they’re sworn into office in January.

#1  Minneapolis/St Paul elected her and Omar and gave all statewide offices and control of both state houses to the DFL (Dirty F'ng Liars for those of you out of state).

One telling stat - the GOP candidate for AG took 76 of 87 counties and still lost by a substantial margin.

That East Dakota thing is looking better and better.

#2  Just goes to show that failed state status can be achieved on a local basis if you work diligently.

#3  Apparently, MA. MI and MD also went totally Dem in state government. Working on the M's this year, I guess. In 2024 look for the "N" states to go blue.

Ilhan Omar wins reelection to U.S. House
[SHABELLEMEDIA] U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar
...Somali-American Dem representative from Minnesota. She was apparently married to her brother and may be her own grandmaw on her mother's side...
has won a third term representing Minnesota’s Fifth Congressional District, defeating Republican challenger Cicely Davis.

The Democratic congresswoman, one of the most visible figures on the political left, has led the Fifth District since 2019. The district — one of the most Democratic in the country, and the most Democratic in Minnesota — includes Minneapolis and 14 surrounding suburbs.

"We have survived a wannabe fascist
...anybody you disagree with, damn them...
president, a once-in-a-lifetime pandemic that took so many of our family members, the murder of George Floyd in our city, and the uprising that followed. So I know we’re gonna survive whatever they throw at us over the next two years," Omar said.

Omar surprised political analysts in August when she won her primary against Democratic challenger Don Samuels by just 2 percentage points. By comparison, she defeated 2020 challenger Antone Melton-Meaux by 20 points.

Samuels’ pro-police stance countered that of the congresswoman, who supported the failed Minneapolis ballot measure that — in the aftermath of George Floyd’s murder by Minneapolis police — sought to replace MPD with a new public safety agency.

#1  She was a catalyst for ruining her district financially and with regard to safety. People complain about California ex-Pats bringing new locations down. Maybe in her next term we will see some mechanicals driving about with crew served weapons and warlord checkpoints in Minneapolis.

#1  If not for voters under 30 … tonight WOULD have been a Red Wave. CNN National House Exit Poll R+ 13 65+ R+ 11 45-64 D +2 30-44 D +28 18-29 #GenZ did their job.” He added, “& young #millennials :)” If Della Volpe’s numbers are correct, and 64% of voters between the ages of 18 and 29 really voted for Democrats, then one thing is clear: the corruption and politicization of our educational system has worked.
