“And soon it will be mine — all MINE!!“ BWAHAHAHAHA
[Just The News] Kentucky Republican Rep. James Comer, the chairman of the House Oversight Committee, emphasized Monday that President Biden's role is a central focus of his committee's investigation of the Biden family's overseas business deals, particularly those related to China.
"This family has made millions and millions of dollars from China," Comer said at the National Press Club. "You look at the wire transfers. The money was going from China to different LLCs, then to pay both Hunter Biden and Jim Biden salaries for consulting. We'd like to know what that consulting was. I mean, I feel like if China or anyone pays you millions of dollars, they expect to get a return on that investment, and I don't know what that return was. We want to find out."
He said the White House hasn't explained the nature of the consulting work that the president's son Hunter and brother Jim were doing.
"Even Democrats in the House of Representatives realize that China is a problem," Comer said. "So when you see that this country has donated so much money to the Biden family, shouldn't someone look into that to make sure that everything is aboveboard there? And that's what we're doing."
As an example, Comer compared Hunter Biden to former White House adviser Jared Kushner, former President Trump's son-in-law. Comer said everyone knew Kushner was involved in real estate before Trump became president.
"What business is Hunter Biden in?" he asked. "I would argue influence peddling, and I've got a problem with that."
Comer has similar questions regarding Jim Biden, the president's brother. "What was he doing to make $45,000 a month consulting?" he asked. "He's not a lawyer. Hunter is a lawyer. Was he doing legal work? I don't know."
Well, somebody had to explain the information in all those classified documents.

I expect that his brother’s dealings will prove more unexpected. The lab angle for Hunter might bring something new. I think they will vier away from that topic.

Yawn. Let me know when something actually comes of it!
I'm betting nothing will happen... Oh look there's a Chinese balloon!..
[Breitbart] The State of California is attempting to blame former President Donald Trump for the fact that fraudsters stole $30 billion in coronavirus relief payments from the state’s Employment Development Department (EDD).
As Breitbart News reported in 2021, the California State Auditor flagged the EDD for gross mismanagement:
The EDD is the agency through which Californians are supposed to obtain unemployment payments and compensation for maternity leave. However, fraud and mismanagement have led to billions of dollars in losses. The EDD system has sent unemployment checks to prison inmates, while truly deserving Californians wait months for money that they need.
The report itself adds: “EDD did not take substantive action to bolster its fraud detection efforts for its unemployment insurance program until months into the pandemic, resulting in payments of about $10.4 billion for claims that it has since determined may be fraudulent.”
Now, after an inquiry from Rep. James Comer (R-KY), the new chair of the U.S. House Committee on Oversight and Accountability, California is trying to claim that Trump’s supposedly weak federal leadership was to blame.
Ironically, it was Democrats, and not the Trump administration, that insisted on distributing coronavirus relief through state unemployment systems, rather than simply using checks from the federal government. They were acting on advice from liberal economists who wanted to see unemployment expanded as a welfare system.
On Wednesday, Rep. Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) argued that Republicans are singling out Democrat-governed states like California and New York for investigation, while ignoring fraud in conservative states.
Many states suffered from similar fraud, though California suffered the most — a fact that some say reflects the state’s large population, but which critics say is a reflection of a dysfunctional, Democrat-run state bureaucracy.

I noticed in California that illegality becomes the system. My son had an old truck that he felt could not pass inspection. He told me that he sold it for greater than his $1K purchase price. I asked him who would buy a vehicle that could not be certified for use. He explained that he sold it to an illegal alien who intended to use it for his lawn care business. That was the way of it. The truck still had value to someone for whom none of the rules apply.

Laptop repairman filed a $75,000 law suit against Hunter Biden for intimidation. Five days later Hunter demands the DOJ go after the laptop repairman anyway.
#10
Last night on The Five Geraldo claimed the abandoned laptop was the property of the repair man after 90 days because of the clause in the repair contract but the contents were not. He again shows his ignorance. If I abandon my suitcase or my briefcase at the airport both the cases and contents become the property of the airline to do with what they wish.

So there you go the CCP has a moving company too. Makes sense. With a copy machine in every truck.
[FoxNews] John Kerry's activities, conducted 'under the guise of climate advocacy,' could undermine American interests, says House Oversight and Accountability Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., top Republican.

He’s addicted to negotiating. I remember when he was negotiating with the Iranians during the Trump administration when he want even in the government.

[10News] Done enough damage, hmmm? Rats deserting the sinking shit ship
U.S. President Joe Biden's top economic adviser will exit the role, according to a statement released by the president on Thursday.
President Biden said in a statement that Brian Deese, a top economic advisor at the White House and director of the National Economic Council, will leave his post, with no departure date mentioned in the statement.
Deese is credited as being a critical part of helping pass the American Rescue Plan, the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, the CHIPs and Science Act and the Inflation Reduction Act. All profoundly dismal failures.
As the Biden administration faces a large and significant debt ceiling battle, Deese's departure will create a high-profile opening at the White House.
The White House is expected to appoint Lael Brainard, who is the vice chair of the U.S. Federal Reserve, as Deese's replacement, Axios reported.
