The Democrat Party has abandoned the interests of farm states like Iowa — and nowhere is that more true than with the elevation of the Green New Deal.
Ethanol — made from corn grown in Iowa — is blended with gasoline, not solar energy or wind power.
When you want to “transition away from oil” and outlaw the internal combustion engine, you are proposing to destroy the economy of a farm state like Iowa. //
I don’t think Democrats will do what they promise because I think astute Democrat politicians realize most of their agenda is economic and political suicide. I have always believed their interest is simply in obtaining control of the levers of government — not to actually do what they talk about.
But Midwest voters aren’t taking chances.
They are going to vote for Donald Trump in even larger numbers than they did in 2016.
Hunter Biden's laptop was given to the FBI in 2019 from a Delaware repair shop
On Friday it emerged that a second laptop was obtained by the US government
They seized the laptop in a February raid on the office of a Massachusetts doctor
It was unclear why Hunter Biden's laptop was in the office
Hunter's lawyer later managed to secure the return of the laptop to his client
As Abraham Lincoln said a few weeks before he issued the Emancipation Proclamation, “The dogmas of the quiet past are inadequate to the stormy present.” The plain fact is that the future of American politics will not be marked by a return to an era of establishment rule because the establishment has failed.
Our institutions are not weak because of Trump, they are weak because our elites failed to maintain them. Our norms have not been undermined by Trump, they have been undermined by ordinary Americans who came to realize those norms were merely a cover for rank hypocrisy from our leaders. All of this has been decades in the making, and now it has come to pass.
And none of it can be wiped away by an election. The bell that sounded with Trump’s election four years ago, heralding a new populist era in American, cannot be un-rung. //
The new normal is right in front of us, right now: populist right versus populist left. Choose your fighter.
The Department of Justice took the rare step to confirm the existence of an ongoing investigation Thursday, confirming to Sinclair that the FBI is still conducting a federal money-laundering probe into the Biden family.
As we covered in stories last week about Hunter Biden’s business dealings in China, invesigators have been unable to find any records of Michael Lin before he showed up at Yale in the early ’90s and became friends with James Bulger (son of MA Senate President William Bulger), Chris Heinz, Devon Archer, and Hunter Biden. And, in our own investigations, we haven’t found pre-Yale records either. //
connections in the Chinese government; meetings like the ones Lin set up, and conferences between the Chinese legislative body and US leaders don’t just happen because some random person wants them to. Considering the fact that shortly after Biden and Lin visited China in 2010 more than 30 CIA assets in the country were rounded up and killed, their identities made known to Beijing after a CIA communications system that was also linked to US government computers was compromised, questions about Lin’s access and activities with the Bidens need to be asked and answered.
Last night’s interview of Tony Bobulinski on Tucker Carlson’s show (see Former Biden Family Business Partner Lays Waste To the Biden Family Legacy In Interview With Tucker Carlson) should have removed any doubt that a) the correspondence discovered in Hunter Biden’s abandoned laptop was legitimate and b) that it revealed what can only be described as an on-going and multi-year criminal conspiracy. //
The Bobulinski interview made it clear that Joe Biden was a knowing and willing participant in the various scams in which Hunter Biden was a central figure. The interview makes it clear that the byword was “plausible deniability” to protect Joe. //
This is a Joe Biden issue. Hunter is a sockpuppet. We need to treat it as such.
“Tony Bobulinski: ‘If he doesn’t come out on record I am providing the facts.’
Rob Walker: ‘Tony. You’re just gonna bury all of us man.’”
Carlson asked Bobulinski how he responded to Walker’s plea. “I was focused on pushing these guys to do the right thing, to demonstrate an ounce of integrity in front of the American people,” he answered. “They all know the facts; I lived the facts. And luckily for the American people, all the facts are extremely well documented.”
Tucker Carlson
@TuckerCarlson
Hunter Biden's ex-business partner Tony Bobulinski: "I remember looking at Jim Biden and saying how are you guys getting away with this? Aren't you concerned? He looked at me, and he laughed a little bit, and said 'PLAUSIBLE DENIABILITY.'"
Bobulinski was supposed to be the guy who washes everything clean and keeps the money flowing in a nondescript direction. Accusing him of being a Russian agent was a bridge too far, though, and now all of this is out in the open because he chose not to sit idly by and be smeared. The Bidens can send Adam Schiff a nice thank you letter for that campaign contribution.
AVIC’s J-31 (or FC-31 for international sales) started development in 2009, two years after China’s hack of Lockheed. Production began in 2015, and the first flight was in 2019. China did in nine years what took the United States 19. China estimates that the J-31 will be combat-ready by 2022. //
The fact that this purchase was allowed to occur is mind-blowing. How did AVIC, an entity on the watch list and known to have stolen tech from the F-35 to put into their J/FC-31, obtain authorization by the US government to buy a company that created tech for the F-35 to make it more invisible to radar?
BHR is a “Russian Nesting Doll” scheme – that is, a venture capital firm, inside a venture capital firm, inside a venture capital firm, and so on, in an effort to shield potential investors and regulatory bodies from their ability to examine the dealings of the VC firm. Bohai Industrial Investments (BII) is currently tied for the largest share of control for BHR with Ample Harvest, both controlling 30%.
Obama knew that Biden had a sweet little crime family grifting operation up and running for years. As a relative political neophyte about insider dealing and corruption in Washington in 2008, he would have been happy to have the elder Biden show him the ropes – and get in on the action!
And according to newly released texts from James Biden (brother of Joe), evidence is now emerging that Obama himself was in on the Biden family grifting, which would perhaps explain where at least some of Obama’s approximately $70 million net worth originated.
James Biden writes to #HunterBiden about @JoeBiden meeting with “the O” about “outrageous acquisitions” and “the two biggest days of our business life” in an e-mail from October 1, 2017.
Would you close down the oil industry?” Trump asked Biden.
“I would transition from the oil industry, yes,” Biden replied.
“Why would you do that?” Welker asked.
“Because the oil industry pollutes significantly,” Biden explained.
Biden said he would stop giving them federal subsidies.
Trump highlighted it for voters. “That’s maybe the biggest statement in terms of business … because basically what he said is he is going to destroy the oil industry. Will you remember that, Texas? Will you remember that Pennsylvania, Oklahoma?”
You could see Trump’s face, he knew that Biden had just committed electoral suicide with that remark, you could see him thinking, “I just won Pennsylvania with that remark.” Even the moderator Kristen Welker, couldn’t quite believe that Biden went there and actually said it.
So many people have died from suicides and drug overdoses, lost their jobs and livelihoods, and have suffered unbelievable amounts of depression just so that the Democrats can have a chance against Trump in November.
On December 6, 2015, Joe Biden ordered Ukraine President Petr Poroshenko to fire Ukraine Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin, threatening to withhold $1 billion in US aid to the Poroshenko government if he did not do so.
Newly revealed evidence taken from Hunter Biden’s laptop, in the form of an email dated November 2, 2015, from Vadym Pozharskyi to Devon Archer and Hunter Biden at their Rosemont Seneca Partners email addresses shows, unequivocally, that Burisma’s purpose in placing them both on the Board of Directors, and hiring Blue Star Strategies, a Washington DC PR firm, in November 2015, was to influence United States and Ukrainian government policies for the benefit of Burisma and its exiled owner, Nikolay Zlochevskyi. It was Zlochevskyi, a Ukraine oligarch, who was paying Archer and Biden a reported $83,000 a month — each — to serve on the Bursima Board.
Axios reported today that in spite of Facebook’s and Twitter’s attempts to censor the New York Post’s blockbuster story on Hunter Biden’s emails, the story was the most popular election story on their respective platforms last week.
The breakdown in the numbers is as follows:
-The Post’s story generated 2.59m interactions (likes, comments, shares) on Facebook and Twitter last week — more than double the next biggest story about Trump or Biden.
-5 of the 10 biggest stories were about the Hunter Biden story, the fallout, or how Facebook and Twitter reacted.
-It was the 6th-most engaged article this month, trailing pieces like Trump testing positive for COVID-19 and Eddie Van Halen’s death.
-83% of the interactions happened on Facebook, with the other 17% on Twitter.
NEW: @MikeEmanuelFox obtains photo showing an alleged Hunter Biden signature on paperwork for the computer repair shop
There’s a mystery about to unfold about Hunter Biden’s connection to an Indian bond fraud scheme that happened from 2014-15, for which some business associates of Hunter Biden have gone to federal prison.
Bottom line: Hunter Biden followed his partner, Devon Archer, into bed with some unabashed Wall Street fraud merchants.
No ifs, ands, or buts — Hunter Biden laid down with dogs and now he’s got fleas.

The Hunter Biden hard drive is authenticated by:
The NY Post,
My attorney Bob Costello
A receipt SIGNED BY HUNTER BIDEN.It’s also been authenticated by Biden’s attorney who called the merchant a day before it appeared and asked for Hunter Biden’s computer.

Hunter Biden’s attorney called John Paul’s shop a few days back and asked for Hunter’s computers back. FYI. You don’t ask for someone else’s computers...you ask for your own. FYI

Here ya go....this is the email sent to John Paul by Hunter Biden's lawyer. It is in reference to returning the laptops. Also...the attorney said Hunter dropped em off in 2017. Nope..try April 2019. He didn't even know when he left em there. Redactions on this document are mine
As everyone knows, Joe Biden has had his cravenness and corruption publicly exposed via a series of emails residing on at least one laptop belonging to Hunter Biden. The emails show that Joe Biden was not merely a doting father who corruptly peddled his influence to create business opportunities for a ne’er-do-well son; he was a direct beneficiary of those business opportunities. READ: Person on Hunter Biden/China Email Thread Allegedly Verifies the Email and It Gets Even Worse for Joe Biden.
The emails are being attacked on two fronts. Both attacks are ridiculous. Both are pathetic in their transparency. On the one hand, we have the same people who fluffed the Steele Dossier for four years as gospel now claiming, with zero evidence, that the whole thing is a Kremlin plot. The other attack is “leave Hunter out of it because he’s an addict.” In essence, this attack says that if you use the emails, you are hurting Hunter’s recovery, and that makes you a very, very bad man.
Hunter Biden’s problems have much, much, much less to do with any drug abuse problem than they do to his massive sense of entitlement and a father who has enabled his sociopathy to become a viable lifestyle. //
Hunter Biden is not mere collateral damage here. He is a central figure in a major influence-peddling scandal involving his father and uncle and it gives every appearance that he may very well have been a willing agent of the Chinese government. //
Hunter Biden is fair game here. And if anyone should be concerned about the effect upon his sobriety it is not you or me or The New York Post. It is Joe Biden. And if he doesn’t care, there is no reason that anyone else should. //

Trump is not blaming Joe Biden for his son's addiction. He is blaming Joe for exploiting and profiting from the actions of his addict son.
