  1. https://www.politico.com/news/2020/10/14/biden-campaign-lashes-out-new-york-post-429486 Biden campaign lashes out at New York Post The campaign cast the allegations against Joe and Hunter Biden as “Russian disinformation,” while Republicans complained that social media companies were censoring the story. Biden’s campaign would not rule out the possibility that the former VP had some kind of informal interaction with Pozharskyi, which wouldn’t appear on Biden’s official schedule. But they said any encounter would have been cursory. Pozharskyi did not respond to a request for comment.
  2. Yet we want govt to handle all of HC.
  3. Yeah, that's why they are in political denial mode and cancelled all his events yesterday.
  4. If this can be proven true he's done. He will have to drop out. No chance he participates in another debate even though the mod's would give him a pass.
  5. Something we all knew already. Love how he passes the buck onto Mayor de Blasio again. Governor Cuomo admitting privately that lockdowns were not good policy. So why do they still advocate for lockdowns? Because they’d rather play into fear than common sense. This will go down in history as some of the most egregious policy-making in history. They deliberately harmed millions of Americans simply because it made for more convenient talking points. As Republicans stood up for a more balanced approach, we were vilified by the media and opportunistic Democrats. They played on people’s fears for political gain, and they did it knowingly.
  6. Damn, further exposure of Biden corruption and social media all in one story. The left must be fucking reeling right now. Poor MC.
  7. What the Biden/democrap narrative will be.
  8. Very cool shit. Love a 1 liter 300 hp version in a sled or jetski or bike.
  9. Sorry dude but its not. The Biden campaign played politics with the "denial." Said the meeting wasn't on the VP's official schedule yet his schedule is public record and has tons of time gaps with nothing scheduled. Denial without actually lying. There hasn't been good enough proof on the seal team six/obl/Iran payment deal but this one's got teeth. https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/hunter-biden-joe-biden-new-york-post-editorial-board The ex-veep called “a lid” for the day at 9:41 a.m. Wednesday, indicating he’d make no more appearances. So reporters couldn’t push him about his past claims that he’d “never spoken to my son about his overseas business dealings” now that data from an old hard drive suggest that’s not so. Emails reveal that Hunter introduced a top executive of Burisma, the Ukrainian natural gas firm on whose board he sat, to his dad while Joe was in the White House — and less than a year before the veep pushed the Ukrainian government into firing a prosecutor who was investigating Burisma. Vadym Pozharskyi, a top Burisma adviser, emailed Hunter in May 2014 asking for “advice on how you could use your influence” on the company’s behalf. Then he emailed a note of gratitude on April 17, 2015, a year after Hunter had been brought on with a salary reported to be $50,000 a month: “Dear Hunter, thank you for inviting me to DC and giving an opportunity to meet your father and spent [sic] some time together. It’s realty [sic] an honor and pleasure.” The Biden campaign didn’t respond to The Post’s five pre-publication requests for comment nor ever deny the emails’ veracity. It won’t even say Joe never met with Pozharskyi — but only that no such meeting shows on his “official schedules.”
  10. Too tame for today's politics.....I mean whats plagiarism compared to hookers peeing on a bed that Obama slept in.
  11. Doesn't matter as long as the truth comes out....am I right?
  12. Joe's gonna come down with the rona and drop out.
  13. Not going anywhere. Mostly citing what has previously came up in news articles regarding US/Libya weapons being used against our troops.
  14. Be really ironic if it was all fake and made up by a Russian intelligence officer paid for by the Trump campaign thru a law firm that it hired for "opposition research." Oh and that a Demcrapic Senator sends staff overseas to collect a copy and turn it over to
  15. I don't think the story here is whether or not Iran had OBL or if an OBL double was killed in Pakistan but whether or not weapons intended for Benghazi or Libya were the ones that brought down the helicopter with the Navy Seal team six aboard. This idea or conspiracy if you want to call it is not new. Some of this new conspirocy is that Iran knew and had proof and blackmailed the Obama admin into the ridiculous nuke deal as well as to return to Iran "their money" to keep them quiet. $152 billion with $2 billion in cash in the infamous plane drop. There is other information that once Libya was "liberated" the US took some of their weapons and gave/sold them to what became ISIS. Lots of news articles on this....up to you to decide what you believe. https://nypost.com/2014/06/08/how-the-taliban-got-their-hands-on-modern-us-missiles/ My sources in the US Special Operations community believe the Stinger fired against the Chinook was part of the same lot the CIA turned over to the ­Qataris in early 2011, weapons Hillary Rodham Clinton’s State Department intended for anti-Khadafy forces in Libya. They believe the Qataris delivered between 50 and 60 of those same Stingers to the Taliban in early 2012, and an additional 200 SA-24 Igla-S surface-to-air missiles. Qatar now is expected to hold five Taliban commanders released from Guantanamo for a year before allowing them to go to Afghanistan.
  16. The Seal team 6/Bin Laden story is not the October surprise to pay attention to.
  17. All whistleblowers are to be believed. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/hunter-biden-emails-senate-homeland-security-committee-investigating-hard-drive-laptop
  18. What's so dramatically interesting about that? The revelation that white liberals hijack minority causes to push their own agenda? That BLM is no longer what it has claimed to stand for? That a relatively small group of white's are causing problems in liberal cities that could easily be crushed by LE or god forbid average American's sick of their shit. White liberal so called revolutionaries are like hot chicks. Somewhere someone is sick of their shit and will kick them to the curb.
  19. https://www.wsj.com/articles/what-we-know-about-hunter-bidens-dealings-in-china-11570181403 What are Hunter Biden’s business interests in China? Hunter Biden, a 49-year-old lawyer and the second son of the former vice president, owns 10% of a private-equity firm called Bohai Harvest RST (Shanghai) Equity Investment Fund Management Co. Over the past roughly six years, it has channeled $2.5 billion or more on behalf of its financial backers into automotive, energy, mining and technology deals, according to interviews with people familiar with the private-equity firm and a review by The Wall Street Journal of financial filings and other official business records. Hunter Biden is one of nine directors of the firm, known as BHR Partners, which is controlled and funded primarily by large Chinese government-owned shareholders. What has President Trump said? President Trump has alleged that Hunter Biden benefited from Chinese government largess and “walked out of China with $1.5 billion in a fund.” Mr. Trump has also drawn attention to the fact that BHR Partners was officially registered 12 days after Hunter Biden in December 2013 flew to Beijing aboard Air Force Two, while his father made an official visit as vice president. Mr. Trump hasn’t provided evidence to support the $1.5 billion financial claim, which appears to be based on a fundraising target once announced by BHR Partners. The firm mainly invests by raising money deal to deal from other companies, according to a former employee, and its total paid-in capital is less than $5 million, according to its business registration. What does Hunter Biden say? The board seat at BHR Partners isn’t a paid position, and Mr. Biden hasn’t recouped his original investment in the company, said his spokesman, George Mesires. The firm’s business registration shows Mr. Biden’s paid-in capital was about $425,000. Formation of the firm was negotiated for many months beforehand, and its shareholders applied to register the business in the month before the Air Force Two flight, according to the spokesman and the former employee, who described its official registration soon after the vice president’s trip as a coincidence. BHR Partners filings show that Mr. Biden has served as a director of the firm since it was founded but that he didn’t become a shareholder until October 2017, after his father’s term as vice president ended. What is BHR Partners? BHR Partners calls itself a private-equity firm, and it acts on behalf of large financial backers to find companies to invest in, most of them in China. Filings show BHR Partners winning a piece of several desirable transactions: a stake worth more than $900 million in a corporate spinoff of non-oil industry assets from China Petroleum & Chemical Corp. ; a $10 million holding in China General Nuclear Power Corp., just before an initial public offering; and participation with a dozen other investment groups in a $4.4 billion privatization of a property business controlled by entertainment giant Dalian Wanda Group. For a time, BHR Partners held a stake in Didi Chuxing Technology Co., China’s dominant ride-hailing service, and has invested in a leading facial-recognition business, Megvii Technology Inc. BHR Partners has also launched a number of investment funds. Investors in some of these transactions stood to score quick profits, while the firm hasn’t yet made a profitable exit from others, the filings suggest. In the U.S., BHR Partners participated in a $600 million buyout of Michigan automotive-suspension-systems maker Henniges Automotive in 2015, acquiring a 49% stake, but a banker involved in the deal said negotiations were handled primarily by Aviation Industry Corporation of China Ltd., a state-owned aircraft company that bought a 51% stake. Who are the primary investors in BHR Partners? BHR Partners is 80%-controlled by Chinese entities, its business registration shows. A consortium including the Chinese government’s postal savings bank, its main development bank, a pension fund and the Bank of China controls 30%, while another 30% is held by a major mutual-fund group called Harvest Fund Management Co. Three other entities each own 10%, according to business filings. Hunter Biden holds his 10% stake through a company he owns, Skaneateles LLC, named for his mother’s hometown in upstate New York. BHR Partners’ chief executive is a Beijing investment banker named Jonathan Li, who explained his philosophy for a firm that could do deals in China and overseas on its website: “I wanted diversified ownership, including both Chinese and foreign partners, to make the firm more international,” he said. Executives at BHR Partners didn’t respond to questions from the Journal. What is Hunter Biden’s role in the firm? It isn’t clear what role Mr. Biden has played in the deal-making at BHR Partners. Details about how its transactions are structured aren’t public. Mr. Biden has had other ties in China, including with top executives of a now-collapsed Shanghai oil company, CEFC China Energy Co., as they were trying to break into the U.S. energy market, according to articles in the New Yorker and the New York Times. J. Michael Cole, a Taiwan-based analyst who has written critically about CEFC and wrangled with it legally, says its lawyers repeatedly described the Biden family as friends of the oil company. What is the origin of the figure cited by Mr. Trump? The origin of the $1.5 billion figure cited by Mr. Trump about Hunter Biden’s business in China is unclear, but the Journal in July 2014 quoted BHR Partners executives as saying the firm was trying to raise that much money to invest outside China. The plan, they said, aimed to take advantage of a new free-trade zone in Shanghai that Chinese authorities were promoting as a streamlined route to make acquisitions abroad for companies registered there, such as BHR Partners. The Journal article was cited as the only source for the $1.5 billion figure when it appeared in a book published last year that is critical of Mr. Biden’s business activities, and which has been praised by Mr. Trump. “Secret Empires,” by Peter Schweizer, says that after Hunter Biden’s flight to Beijing aboard Air Force Two, “Hunter’s firm would seal a highly unusual $1.5 billion deal with funding from the Chinese government.” BHR Partners hasn’t said if it met its fundraising target, but a former employee said it was never more than a long-term goal. Are Hunter Biden’s business ties in China unusual? When Mr. Biden acquired his foothold in the Chinese investment firm, U.S.-China relations were riding high, and money was flowing more easily than ever between the countries. China was just then embarking on a global buying spree, a trend that enthralled the financial industry, including the Americans who teamed up with BHR Partners, the former employee said. China is also flush with private-equity firms that have adopted a famous-sounding name or tapped a politician’s relative to hold a stake or join a board, which executives say reflects an effort to stand out in a crowded industry. The official name for BHR Partners in Chinese translates as “Bohai Sino-American.” “Perceptions count,” says a Chinese private-equity investor who knows the principals at BHR Partners.
