Treasury reports rebut Biden's 'totally
false' claims about Hunter's cash haul
Posted By: Ribicon, 9/30/2020 7:18:10 PM
Democratic presidential nominee Joseph R. Biden flatly denied at Tuesday night’s debate that his lawyer son took huge sums of money from corrupt oligarchs and Chinese communists during his vice presidency, but Treasury Department reports show that Hunter Biden did receive the money. President Trump chose to make an issue of Hunter Biden’s cash haul from Russia, Ukraine and China with the implication that unsavory figures were trying to buy Vice President Biden and the Obama administration.(Snip) Hunter Biden received a single wire transfer of $3.5 million from Elena Baturina. The Senate report said she became a billionaire through illegal construction contracts awarded

Gay men reclaimed the label “proud” over the weekend, taking over the Twitter hashtag from the far-right Proud Boys who have been causing havoc and violence in the Pacific Northwest. The hashtag, trending all weekend, was not populated by hate-filled messages, but rather with joyous photos and stories from gay men. “What if gay guys took pictures of themselves making out with each other or doing very gay things, then tagged themselves with #ProudBoys,” George Takei tweeted with the hashtag “reclaiming my shine.” “I bet it would mess them up real bad.” The Proud Boys, founded by Vice co-founder Gavin McInnes, have been designated
Pope Francis says the coronavirus pandemic has proven that the 'magic theories' of market capitalism have failed and that the world needs a new type of politics that promotes dialogue and solidarity. Francis on Sunday laid out his vision for a post-COVID world by uniting the core elements of his social teachings into a new encyclical, 'Fratelli Tutti' (Brothers All), which was released on the feast day of his namesake, the peace-loving St. Francis of Assisi.(Snip) He rejected the concept of an absolute right to property for individuals, stressing instead the 'social purpose' and common good that must come from sharing
A 29-year-old with a lengthy arrest history was released without bail on an assault and robbery case—only to mug a 93-year-old man in Lower Manhattan a month later, according to police and court records. Ahmad Tucker was arraigned on robbery and assault charges Wednesday after his latest scrape with the law, with police reporting that he knocked the elderly victim to the ground in Lower Manhattan and stole $30 and the man’s MetroCard.(Snip) Court records show it took three cops to take Tucker into custody on Jan. 29—with one officer getting slugged—at the corner of Church
The head of the Homeland Security Department’s intelligence unit told Congress on Friday that there was an attempt to push staffers in the division to characterize certain people as “Antifa,” and he said that is now being reviewed by an inspector general. Joseph Maher said he became aware of an email by his predecessor, Brian Murphy, that carried that directive.
“The email instructed intelligence professionals to characterize activities of certain individuals in a certain way,” he said. He also said federal police took phones from people they arrested during Portland’s riots, confirming reports. But he said intelligence analysts did not “exploit” those phones
Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot announced new pandemic rules Thursday while donning a “Rona Destroyer” costume. The Democrat handed out candy in a red cape reading “Rona Destroyer,” a mask, rubber gloves, and giant Clorox chest covering before taking the microphone to discuss “Halloweek” activities. “I’d like to begin by acknowledging my partner in crime, Dr. Allison Arwady, the Commissioner of Public Health,” Ms. Lightfoot said. “We all know that [sic] this holiday means for our kids and adults—especially now—after so much has been taken away over this past year.(Snip) Ms. Lightfoot stressed the trick-or-treating is only allowed in groups “of six
Donald Trump said Thursday he will overturn the 'ridiculous order' of removing the words 'brotherhood' and 'man' from the US Navy SEAL ethos. In a tweet responding to the news, the president wrote: 'I will be overturning this ridiculous order immediately!' The Navy has removed gendered words from its official SEAL ethos, changing them to 'citizen' and 'warrior'. Alterations have also been made in the Special Warfare Combatant Crewmen (SWCC) creed, American Military News reports. One change in the first paragraph of the SEAL ethos now reads: 'I am that warrior.' It had read: 'I am that man.' Another states: 'Common citizens with uncommon
Trump cuts refugees to record low

The administration has set a cap of admitting no more than 15,000 refugees in fiscal year 2021, marking the lowest number on record and completing President Trump’s goal of restructuring the modern refugee system. The number marks the fourth straight year of cuts—last year’s cap was 18,000—and underscores the deep political divide between Mr. Trump and Democratic presidential nominee Joseph R. Biden, who has said he would set the cap at 125,000 refugees. State Department officials informed Congress of Mr. Trump’s number just before a midnight Thursday deadline, when the fiscal year began. And they set the number without the consultation the law

enforcement panel from issuing
report, citing lack of diversity 27 replies
A federal judge Thursday halted a Justice Department commission studying issues plaguing the law enforcement community from releasing its report because the panel excluded civil rights leaders. U.S. District Judge John Bates ruled the much-ballyhooed Presidential Commission on Law Enforcement and the Administration of Justice violated the Federal Advisory Committee Act, which requires government committees to receive input from “fairly balanced” viewpoints. Judge Bates, a George W. Bush appointee, wrote in his 45-page opinion that the commission was full of law enforcement officials, but none of the members have “a criminal defense, civil rights, or community organization background.”
The US Navy SEALs have changed their creed statement to become gender-neutral and have eliminated terms such as “brotherhood,” according to a report. “Naval Special Warfare continues to deliberately develop a culture of tactical and ethical excellence that reflects the nation we represent, and that draws upon the talents of the all-volunteer force who meet the standards of qualification as a SEAL or SWCC,” Navy Special Warfare spokesman Lt. Cmdr. Matthew Stroup told American Military News.(Snip) Instead of “A common man with uncommon desire to succeed,” it now says: “Common citizens with uncommon desire to succeed.” Another alters “I am that man”
Mia Green, a 29 year old who fatally shot in Philadelphia on Monday, is the latest transgender woman killed in what the city calls an “epidemic of violence” against trans people.
NBC reports that during a Monday morning traffic stop, police found Green, who was shot in the neck, in the passenger seat of a car driven by Abdullah lbn El-Amin Jaamia, 28, who was charged with murder on Tuesday.(Snip) The shocking case follows another killing earlier in the year in Philadelphia, when Dominique Rem’mie Fells, a black trans woman, was found floating dismembered in the Schuylkill River in West Philadelphia in June.
Seven people were wounded Wednesday when a car pulled up to a crowd of about 100 mourners gathering for a funeral on Milwaukee's north side and someone inside the vehicle opened fire. The victims were all in stable condition at a local hospital Wednesday afternoon, said acting Milwaukee Police Chief Michael Brunson. He said all are expected to survive at this point. Brunson asked for the public's help in identifying the shooter. Wounded in the shooting spree were three women, ages 24, 26 and 48, and four men, 20, 24, 26 and 29 years old.(Snip) Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett called the incident "insanity."

Both Game 1 and Game 2 of the NBA Finals between the L.A. Lakers and the Miami Heat have suffered the worst ratings crash in the league’s entire TV broadcast history. Despite the matchup including two of the league’s biggest stars (LeBron James and Anthony Davis), Game 1 of the Finals on Wednesday was a huge ratings disappointment for the NBA.
Game 1 averaged only a 4.1 rating and 7.41 million viewers on ABC, “comfortably the lowest rated and least-watched NBA Finals game on record (dates back to 1988),” Sports Media Watch reported.
Melania Trump and Ivanka Trump are reported in the media to be rivals of sorts.
Well, here's a rivaly no one would want to hope for: Which of the two has the lousiest former friends.
(snip) Chelsea Clinton has stepped forward into the spotlight, to tell everyone why she refuses to speak to her longtime childhood friend, Ivanka Trump, and it's a doozy. (snip) Chelsea Clinton, 40, said she and Ivanka Trump haven't spoken since 2016. During the discussion with host Andy Cohen, Clinton criticized the first daughter for "actively taking part in this administration's everyday collision of cruelty and incompetence."
Left-wing media figures took to Twitter on Sunday afternoon following President Donald Trump temporarily leaving Walter Reed Medical Center and taking a short drive to see his supporters who were outside showing their enthusiasm for the president. The most notable hit came from Washington Post blogger Jennifer Rubin, who called for the Maryland Attorney General to “indict Trump for reckless endangerment” and “assault.” (Tweet) Rubin suggested that Trump needed to be immediately removed from power through the 25th Amendment and claimed that the GOP was a “death cult” and not a “pro-life party.”
CNN host Jake Tapper excoriated President Donald Trump for what he characterized as his failed leadership amid the coronavirus during CNN’s “State of the Union” on Sunday.“Many Americans are likely feeling both sympathy and anger today, emotions that don’t necessarily mix well,” Tapper began. “Sympathy for all of those suffering, including President Trump, who remains at Walter Reed Medical Center. But also anger because so much — so much of all this pain could have been avoided.”“So many of us since March have been doing everything we can to preserve the health of not only ourselves and our families, but our communities, our neighbors, you,” Tapper continued.
Dr. Jill Biden, the wife of Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden, campaigned in the Twin Cities on Saturday, making stops in St. Paul and speaking to supporters in Minneapolis.
Drawing what one outlet described as “a small, but energized crowd of women deemed ‘Women for Biden,'” at her last stop, Biden appeared happy to appear in her husband’s stead while pushing his political agenda.
The dozen or so supporters were kept at a distance by standing inside hula hoops placed at six-foot intervals to hear her speak.
When the Wuhan coronavirus pandemic came to America earlier this year, Democrats rushed to score political points and demanded elections be conducted through the mail instead of in person. They did this thinking it would be politically advantageous and productive in bolstering victory for their candidates.
When President Trump pointed out problems unprepared systems would have with an onslaught of untested, mass mail-in voting, Democrats doubled down in an effort to prove him wrong.
During the season premiere of NBC’s “Saturday Night Live,” guest host Chris Rock opened the show with a monologue that took a jab at President Donald Trump over his COVID-19 diagnosis.Rock called it the “elephant in the room,” then said his heart went out to COVID, referring to the President’s medical condition.“Before we even get started, let’s — you know, hey, the elephant in the room: President Trump’s in the hospital from COVID, and I just want to say my heart goes out to COVID,” Rock said. “This is a special show this show is quite different than every other show.

During a business trip to Michigan in the 1980s, I recall driving on a commercial street that ran north to south through various well-kept working-class neighborhoods. At one point, the road passed a "Welcome to Detroit" sign. Immediately the surroundings became bleak, with boarded up buildings and graffiti. It was a disturbing sight.
That was nearly two decades before the rapper Eminem immortalized Detroit life in his movie, "8 Mile," which refers to the east-west thoroughfare that separates Detroit from its northern suburbs. "But yo, I gotta get out there, the only way I know," he sang. I kept driving until I got out of there,
Doctors not involved in treating President Donald Trump for COVID-19 said the fact that he has been started on dexamethasone - a generic steroid widely used in other diseases to reduce inflammation - is evidence his case is severe. Trump’s medical team on Sunday said the president was started on the steroid after experiencing low oxygen levels, but his condition was improving and he could be discharged from the hospital on Monday. “What I heard in the news conference description suggested the President has more severe illness than the generally upbeat picture painted,” said Dr. Daniel McQuillen, an infectious disease
Today, during an interview on Fox News, Senior Trump Campaign Advisor Steve Cortez, destroyed the arrogant host, Chris Wallace, over his confrontational role as “debate moderator” in last week’s presidential debate in Cleveland, OH.100 Percent Fed Up reports – An aggressive Chris Wallace went after Steve Cortez over his objection to President Trump and his family removing their masks during the debate. “Everybody wore a mask, why didn’t they?” he asked.“Chris, the way you’re starting to harang me now, actually reminds me of what you did to the president during that debate on Tuesday night.
On Saturday afternoon’s CNN Newsroom, host Ana Cabrera brought on ultra-hyperbolic political analyst Carl Bernstein to make insane accusations towards President Trump, accusing him of “homicidal negligence” for his coronavirus response. Naturally, Bernstein demonstrated that left-wing hacks such as himself completely lack empathy by accusing Trump of jeopardizing “national security” by how he has handled informing the public about his battle with COVID-19. Cabrera initiated the hackery by launching into the entirely media-driven narrative that the White House was not being transparent about the President’s health: (Video)

President Trump initially identified the $3.5 million payment as coming from the mayor's wife. Hunter Biden and the rest of them are too important to prosecute for blatant corruption, and besides, their cases are far too complex for the government's brilliant prosecutors and investigators to untangle.
