A Note to Nancy Pelosi. A Note to Chuck Schumer.
Nancy and Chuck, stop the impeachment insane waste of our time and money and energy. You have no case. You are trying to manufacture a case when there isn’t one. Get on with the inauguration. Focus Nancy. Be a stateswoman. Focus Chuck. Be a statesman. Make sure there is enough security and get Joe and Kamala sworn in a few days from now.
BARREL, I have a question for debater Joe Biden?
What is it, PORK?
Joe, during the debates, did you even name 3 things you have done to help us be FREE, SAFE, and PROSPEROUS?
And the answer, PORK?
NOT!
At the same time, POTUS TRUMP has done a masterful job of coping with COVID and has kept 300 plus campaign promises all focused on helping us be FREE, SAFE, and PROSPEROUS. No contest.
BARREL & PORK. (c) 2020. We report and opine. You decide.
1. BARREL, did Joe Biden lie to America and has he stolen money and is his family The Biden Crime Family and should Joe withdraw in disgrace? BARREL, IT SURE LOOKS LIKE HUNTER BIDEN STUCK IT TO HIS ABUSIVE FATHER SIMPLY BY LEAVING HIS LAPTOP AT THE TECH SHOP. THIS WAS NOT AN ACCIDENT. HUNTER, REGARDLESS OF HIS USE OF CRACK OR ALCOHOL, IS WAY TOO SMART LIKE A FOX.
2. Yes, PORK. Listen to Rudy Giuliani’s recent Common Sense podcast. See https://rudygiulianics.com/ of which following is a transcript.
2. “Welcome to Rudy Giuliani’s Common Sense. This is another episode and this is a very important one.
3. “We’re going to summarize the state of the evidence against the Biden Crime Family.
4. “It’s really mounted up since the disclosures of the emails and texts and photographs of Hunter Biden and now things that were proven by witnesses, documents, and video tapes, that were ignored and lied about by the press, are now proven by Hunter Biden’s own words.
5. “Let me assure you that this is his hard drive.
6. “It was given to my lawyer by the gentleman who had repaired it.
7. “It had been left behind by, he says, a drunken Hunter Biden who came in and had a very hard time even signing and did describe what he wanted.
8. “He came back one time to supply a keyboard and then after it was repaired he never returned even though there was substantial notices to return.
9. “After a while when the gentleman heard things on the news suggesting that the Bidens may or may not have been involved in criminal activity he became very concerned that possibly he was holding some kind of illegal material.
10. “So it was now his property according to the contract signed by Hunter Biden which we have right here.
11. “The property was abandoned and property that is abandoned under the law becomes the property of the person that is in possession of it.
12. “So he had every right to listen to what was there and look at what was there and he was shocked .
13. “What he saw he said was clear evidence of a crime, clear evidence that the Bidens were lying over and over again .
14. “And then on the photographs clear evidence of criminal activity and some activity I would have a hard time describing and really should be left to more private discussion.
15. “In short, what these photographs display is a Hunter Biden who is a very serious I would say degenerate crack addict.
16. “What that means is he doesn’t get rehabilitated.
17. “When he goes into rehabilitation there is even picture of him going out at night smoking crack.
18. “So what it looks like is all during the period of time when he was taking millions and millions and millions of dollars there would be pictures of him sitting in a closet smoking dope or engaged in sex while smoking crack with the woman, sometimes on his own.
19. “It proves without any doubt that none of this money was intended for Hunter Biden because nobody would pay this guy ten dollars.
20. “You couldn’t be sure if you gave him ten dollars to go get a bottle of milk for you that he’d come back.
21. “So there’s no way that some of the biggest criminals in the world are going to be paying him $10,000,000 to $14,000,000 or $30,000,000 or investing in a $1,500,000,000 (one point five billion dollar) completely ridiculous private equity fund.
22. “So what commodity did Hunter have to sell?
23. “That’s pretty easy isn’t it?
24. “The Vice Presidency of the United States.
25. “Which … his uncle and Joes younger brother had been doing for the prior twenty years.
26. “And that’s why this is a crime family.
27. “I know their name is not Italian.
28. “But you know, this RICO statute applies to political corruption. It applies to white collar crime.
29. “I am the first one to really use it to effectively bring down the Mafia, the Mafia drug dealers, the Teamsters Union, the Fulton Fish Market, the private carding industry, and then Wall Street, and then after that United States Congressmen, and a substantial number of New York City officials, New York State officials, Republican and Democrat, probably that’s what got me elected mayor.
30. “Didn’t do it for that reason but that’s what made me well known in New York and taught me what was wrong with New York.
31. “So I know this statute backwards and forwards and this is a perfect case for it because this Biden Family was engaging in the business of crime.
32. “And their commodity? Joe’s public office.
33. “And Joe, you will see, shared in the proceeds which is clearly admitted by his co-conspirators.
34. “So let me outline it for you so that you will be able to follow all of this.
35. “And there will be more than what I am just saying but I am taking four that will get the most prominence.
36. “Now we’re going to focus on when he was Vice President of the United States because that’s where the big money was made.
37. “Before he was Vice President of the United States he made substantial amounts of money through the lobbying of his brothers, the fact that his son had a no show job with a major bank in Delaware. Joe Biden was the only Democratic Senator that lobbied in favor of banks, against using the bankruptcy laws, because all democrats were in favor of that.
38. “Theoretically, they like to say they represent poor people.
39. “Joe was representing the rich bank that was employing his son in a no show job which is how his drug addict son began his career.
40. “But nobody else would employ him because he’d be out two three days a week.
41. “You know. Looking for crack.
42. “It’s a terrible problem.
43. “And I don’t mean to pick on Hunter for being an addict.
44. “That’s a terrible affliction.
45. “As a father, I blame Joe Biden. I say to myself.
46. “I don’t know if I had a child afflicted by that wouldn’t I take care of them and keep them in rehabilitation.
47. “Would I expose them to the most crooked man in Ukraine, one of the most crooked people in China, to probably the most crooked woman in Russia?
48. “Would I do that to a drug addict son? Just because of greed?
49. “I don’t know. I think this is Joe Biden’s fault.
50. “But in any event I have outlined four transactions here. [TWO SET FORTH IN THIS POST.]
51. “And these are the principle players that we can identify from the analysis we have done so far of the texts and the emails and the photographs.
52. “And I have to say we have analyzed about a quarter of it. For it is very, very extensive.
53. “So what you have, and I will summarize them really quickly is let’s call this JOE THE POINT MAN.
54. “Obama was very, very comfortable with that designation POINT MAN.
55. “So when IRAQ, when we were negotiating to end our role in IRAQ it was really, really critical for the national security interests of the United States that we retain troops there so that we could keep IRAN from basically creating an extension of the Islamic Republic of IRAN empire.
56. “And Joe Biden was sent to do that.
57. “Now that was probably a very foolish decision by President Obama because Joe Biden honestly had never succeeded at any negotiation ever.
58. “Robert Gates, his co-cabinet member in the Obama administration, probably commenting on this and any number of other things including his opposition to killing Bin Laden said that Joe Biden had never been correct on any matter of foreign policy in his entire life.
59. “That’s a quote from his fellow cabinet member.
60. “Well, he [Joe] went to IRAQ.
61. “He was supposed to negotiate this agreement that the IRAQIS would allow ten to twenty thousand American troops to stay behind and have immunity from prosecution so they couldn’t get caught in the cross fire between the Sunis, the Shias, and the other elements there.
62. “Of course, he failed.
63. “But the Biden Crime Family came out of it really good. Really, really good.
64. “James, his brother, who had no experience in housing was all of a sudden miraculously made part of a one point five billion dollar ($1,500,000,000), seems like a convenient number for them, one point five billion dollar housing deal in IRAQ.
65. “And like Hunter, James had no experience – in building houses.
66. “He [James] was a sleezy lobbyest on K street.
67. “And I say sleezy advisedly because it was all over the newspapers if you care to ask and every time it would come up Joe would say I don’t know my family’s business.
68. “After a while, that becomes kind of an incredible answer, doesn’t it.
69. “[THE IRAQ DEAL] Then of course we have the Russian situation, that’s the IRAQ situation [pointing to descriptive diagram], the money goes to his brother and as you will see about half that money will end up in the pocket of Joe Biden.
70. “As well, James will be responsible for some of the Biden family expenses.
71. “‘Cause Joe didn’t pay for much. [Ad]
72. “Thank you for returning to the discussion of the Biden Crime Family.
73. “[THE RUSSIAN DEAL] The second one we have is Russia. Russia is a little cloudy. Don’t know it as well. We’re just digging it out but it is quite clear that Hunter Biden received $3.5 million dollars ($3,500,000) from the wife of the mayor of Moscow, the former mayor of Moscow, since deceased. Catarina Batarina.
74. “Catarina is quite a character.
75. “I mean she’s now considered the wealthiest woman in Russia.
76. “Probably the most dangerous woman in Russia.
77. “She more or less double crossed her husband to get him out of office and placate Putin.
78. “Putin might have actually had a good reason to get rid of her husband.
79. “Because her husband whom I knew because he was the mayor of Moscow when I was mayor of New York.
80. “Her husband was really an out of control crook.
81. “He was taking money from Putin’s friends.
82. “Not a good idea.
83. “So they got him out and she became even closer to Putin as a result of that.
84. “So when you think of that $3.5 million dollars, I want you to remember that it is coming from one of Putin’s allies.
85. “Remember, Russian collusion that the democrats charged the president with.
86. “There was no Russian collusion.
87. “We now know from the Brennan notes that Hillary made that up.
88. “But even more galling than that no Republican got any money from Russia.
89. “These characters got $3.5 million dollars ($3,500,000) from Putin’s best friend.
90. “And the press doesn’t care.
91. “The press doesn’t care.
92. “Actually, it’s a little bit more than $3.5 million.
93. “It’s closer to $3.8 because there were two laundered payments that I think can be easily proven.
94. “And we still don’t know why.
95. “Because Biden lied about it during the debate when he said there was no such transaction.
96. “I don’t know that if Joe just thinks he can say this and because the press is like sickeningly on his side, as the moderator was.
97. “Nobody is going to really pay attention to the documents that show the money.
98. “But we got ‘em Joe.
99. “Anybody interested in truth and fairness is going to want to see them.
100. “So now let’s get to Ukraine [IN THE NEXT POST] which we have heard a lot about.
BARREL, IT SURE LOOKS LIKE HUNTER STUCK IT TO HIS ABUSIVE FATHER SIMPLY BY LEAVING HIS LAPTOP AT THE TECH SHOP.
BARREL & PORK. © 2020. We report! You decide!
BARREL, I don’t get it how Joe can be on the ballot.
What do you mean, PORK?
BARREL, COVID and the riots and the controlled media have distracted us from these fourteen negative truths about Joe any one of which disqualifies him from the high office of POTUS. If much of the press were honest, they would shout this to the nation and the world.
(c) 2019, 2020
1. PORK, should Joe Biden withdraw?
2. Yes, BARREL, he should withdraw. Whether innocent or guilty, Joe should cut his losses and withdraw. His political career has run its course and now is burned toast and a lost cause. Tara Reade has burned Joe Biden. Joe’s political career is burned toast. POTUS TRUMP’S poll numbers eclipse Joe’s. Yes, BARREL, Joe should withdraw if he is smart.
3. Joe will never make it now. In 2016,
POTUS TRUMP’s real poll numbers eclipsed Hillary’s. Now in 2020, POTUS TRUMP’s real poll numbers eclipse Joe’s. We have said it before and say it again, the polls do not determine who wins the presidential office. The media coverage does. And the sheer overwhelming media coverage of POTUS TRUMP eclipses the media coverage of all politicians in the U.S. combined.
4. If Joe stays in the race, all he will do is gaffe and take the democratic party down with him. His presence will take governors down and Senators and House congress men and women. His presence will take Nancy Pelosi down and Schiff and Nadler and many others.
5. Why? Because there are now multiple credible witnesses supporting Tara Reade – no matter how shrill Nancy Pelosi and several others are in support of Joe. Regarding poll numbers BARREL, don’t you for one minute believe that Joe leads POTUS TRUMP. Joe has little or no media coverage compared to POTUS TRUMP. POTUS TRUMP has done a major great job dealing with COVID 19 despite democrat naysayers and the whole nation recognizes this. The few who trash him no matter what he does keep the myth alive that he is behind. Truth is, there is no way the negative media groups can make Tara Reade go away or block POTUS TRUMP’S reelection.
6. Regarding the Tara Reade disclosure, her mother is a witness even though she is now deceased. This witness detail was found on a Larry King program. And others have come forward who confirm Tara’s story. Joe’s “DEER IN THE HEADLIGHTS” response, to quote Geraldo, says it all.
7. So Tara has taken away Joe’s woman vote and the men vote as well. She put a nail in his political coffin.
8. And this puts Bernie back front and center.
9. Maybe Governor Cuomo.
10. No question POTUS TRUMP is now guaranteed a second term.
11. BARREL, John Nolte wrote and Breitbart just published: 16 Reasons Why I Believe Joe Biden Sexually Assaulted Tara Reade, published in Breitbart at https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2020/04/26/nolte-16-reasons-why-i-believe-joe-biden-sexually-assaulted-tara-reade/
2. Read JOHN NOLTE 26 Apr 202068:40 for a better discussion than I can muster.
3. “When Reade originally came forward in April of 2019, she joined about a half-dozen women who have credibly accused Biden of unwanted touching. And I say “credibly” because Biden has serially committed acts of unwanted touching in public. [As an aside, Joe also committed Ukraine Quid Pro Quo and boasted about it in public.] We have countless videos of Biden making women and children uncomfortable with inappropriate hair-sniffing, nuzzling, kissing, and getting handsy.” [Jeff Sessions slapped Joe’s hand when Joe tried to get friendly with Jeff’s granddaughter.]
4. “Now, however, Reade tells a much more lurid and disturbing story of being sexually assaulted by Biden. While working for the then-Delaware Senator while in her mid-20s, she says he cornered her in a hallway, thrust his hands up her skirt, penetrated her vagina, and when she objected, he said something to the effect of, “Come on, I heard you like me.”
5. “Reade further alleges that after she complained, there was retaliation. She lost her job.”
6. “So here are the reasons why I now believe Joe Biden sexually assaulted Tara Reade…
7. “Reade Did Not Change Her Story [Has not to-date.]
8. “Experts Say Assault Victims Frequently Don’t Tell the Full Story All at Once
9. “Reade is a Lifelong Democrat
10. “Reade Worked in Biden’s Senate Office in 1993
11. “Witness Number One. Reade told her brother about the alleged sexual assault at the time it happened. McHugh has talked to Reade’s brother and says the details of their stories are the same.
12. “Witness Number Two. Reade told a friend about the alleged sexual assault at the time it happened. McHugh has talked to Reade’s friend and says the details of their stories are the same.
13. “Witness Number Three Reade told a friend about the alleged assault about 15 years after it happened, so sometime around 2008. McHugh has talked to this woman and this woman confirms Reade told her a “horrific” story about Biden.
14. “Witness Number Four McHugh spoke with an intern who worked under Reade in Biden’s Senate office at the time. The intern knew nothing about the alleged assault, but McHugh says, “she said … in mid-April of 1993, Tara was abruptly no longer her supervisor. So the timing matches exactly with what Tara was saying.”
15. “And what Reade is saying is that she was fired for filing a complaint.
16. “Reade Invites Scrutiny. Unlike Blasey Ford, who hid behind her lawyers and little girl voice, Reade is inviting scrutiny, has asked investigative reporters like McHugh to dig into the details of her allegation.
17. “Liars never invite scrutiny. They dodge it and look for excuses to avoid it.
18. “Scrutiny Has Only Bolstered Reade’s Claim Since Reade invited this scrutiny, details have only bolstered her claim, not contradicted it. Most notably…
19. “Mom’s Anguished Call to Larry King Live. Reade has been telling interviewers she told her mother, Jeanette Altimus, at the time about the alleged assault. Unfortunately, Altimus passed in 2016, so there is no way to verify this… Except there is… Reade’s been telling journalists that sometime in 1993 her mother called into CNN’s Larry King Live asking for advice about her daughter’s problems with a “prominent senator.” That video clip has now been found, and is a crucial and damning piece of evidence in support of Reade’s allegation.
20. “The University of Delaware Refuses to Open Biden’s Senate Papers
21. “Biden Is Not Demanding the University of Delaware Open His Papers
22. “Look at the difference between Kavanaugh and Biden…
23. “Kavanaugh could not wait to defend himself in public, to put forth all the documentation asked for, to do whatever he could to invite whatever scrutiny was required to prove his innocence.
24. “Biden, on the other hand, is [was] in hiding. He has not even said a word about the allegation (it helps that in a series of interviews with friendly fake reporters like Jake Tapper, Anderson Cooper, and George Stephanopoulos, he wasn’t asked). [The claim that the NY Times exonerates him is bogus. The endorsements by Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama don’t help and are borderline if not completely bogus.]
25. “Further, Biden is not asking the University of Delaware to throw open his senate papers while begging reporters to dig through them knowing this will prove no one filed a sexual harassment complaint against him.
26. “Biden is acting like a guilty man. The guilty have everything to hide.
27. “Innocent men, like Kavanaugh, have nothing to hide.
28. “The Media are Terrified of This Story. Within a few weeks, on top of countless hours of broadcast time, CNN published nearly 700 stories in support of Blasey Ford’s ridiculous lies. As of this writing, CNN has published only two [a few] stories about Reade, both of them [originally] favorable to Biden. [Now the media outlets including NY Times are turning against Joe.]
29. “No one [few] in the media has [have] dared ask Biden about the allegation, and when the media do bring it up, they try to write Reade off as a crank, as an unstable Putin supporter (an allegation McHugh says is false).
30. This “… is exactly what the media [and Hillary] did to Bill Clinton’s victims. Paula Jones was smeared as trailer trash. Monica Lewinsky was defamed as a crazed stalker. Kathleen Willey was slandered as an unstable gold digger. Juanita Broaddrick was swept under the rug. …
31. “If the media believed they could debunk and discard Reade’s allegation with facts, they would be all over this story. They know they can’t, so they are treating it like its radioactive — because it is.
32. “Biden Has a Long Pattern of Inappropriate Touching. Biden’s sense of entitlement when it comes to inappropriately touching women and CHILDREN, is well-established. If he behaves this way in public, imagine his behavior in private.
33. “Reade Faces Prison If She’s Lying. Last month, Reade filed a formal criminal complaint against Biden, and one of the penalties for filing a false complaint is prison.
34. “So while Reade is inviting investigative reporters to dig into and possibly debunk her allegation, she is also risking prison if that debunking occurs.
35. “Bottom line…
36. “Reade is behaving like someone desperate to expose a terrible truth, while Biden is behaving like someone with something terrible to hide.
37. “Additional evidence could certainly change my mind. But right now the only people who do not want this investigated are Joe Biden and his media allies.
38. “Follow John Nolte on Twitter @NolteNC. Follow his Facebook Page here.
39. “2020 ElectionMediaPolitics#MeTooCNNJake TapperJoe BidenJohn Noltesexual assaultTara Reade
41. Yes, PORK, Biden enriched himself and his family with multi-millions if not billions of dollars via China.
42. He enriched himself and his family with multi-millions if not billions of dollars via Ukraine – and Joe’s bragging about his Ukraine Quid Pro Quo in public is his political legacy killer.
43. Now Tara Reade is front and center and will not go away.
44. And Joe has nowhere to go.
45. No wonder he has been sleepy and holed up hiding in his basement. No wonder his wife speaks for him.
46. No wonder it took POTUS Obama so long to endorse. POTUS Obama knew all about this.
47. BARREL, Joe [has been] in hiding.
48. His wife is speaking for him.
49. For the good of the Democrat party and to save face, Joe is well advised to use health and cognitive decline as his excuse for dropping out.
50. With Tara Reade and China and Ukraine facts on the table, with the fact that he owns all of POTUS Obama’s negative policies and actions that made us less free, safe, and prosperous, there is no way Joe can win an election even if the media does not have the fortitude to tell the honest truth about Joe’s failings or POTUS TRUMP’S amazing successes to-date, keeping more than 300 of his political promises.
51. It will be POTUS TRUMP in a massive landslide and there is nothing the Democrats can do about it given their current situation with Joe. Couple this with the fact that the Democrats under Nancy Pelosi and Adam Schiff and Jerry Nadler and others have done nothing to help us be FREE, SAFE, and PROSPEROUS – spending our precious time and millions of our dollars in a fruitless, foolish “the Russians did it” impeachment.]
52. “MORE WITNESSES – unlike the Kavanaugh situation. “Two more people who knew Tara Reade in the ’90s reportedly came forward on Monday to back the former Senate staffer’s claims of sexual misconduct against Joe Biden.
53. “Lynda LaCasse, a former next-door neighbor of Reade’s and a self-described supporter of Biden spoke on the record with Rich McHugh of Business Insider about past conversations they had with Reade about the allegations.
54. ““This happened, and I know it did because I remember talking about it,” LaCasse told Business Insider, recalling a conversation with Reade that occurred in either 1995 or 1996.
55. “Another past acquaintance, Lorraine Sanchez, a former colleague, also recalled past conversations with Reade, though she said did not recall Reade referring to Biden by name.
56. ““[Reade said] she had been sexually harassed by her former boss while she was in DC,” Sanchez told the publication, “and as a result of her voicing her concerns to her supervisors, she was let go, fired.”
57. “Biden himself has not addressed the claims from Reade — but his campaign has vehemently denied the allegations.
58. “Reade on Monday confirmed to Fox News the accuracy of how her conversations with LaCasse and Sanchez were described and expressed her deep gratitude towards them for coming forward.
59. ““I am touched that they would step forward knowing the targeted harassment I have received since I made my history with Joe Biden public. I appreciate their candor and bravery,” Reade said in a statement.
60. “LaCasse and Sanchez could be cited as more evidence supporting Reade’s allegation.
61. “They join Reade’s friend, who says they were told about the alleged assault at the time it happened but has chosen to remain anonymous, and her brother Collin Moulton, who recalled Reade describing an incident with Biden involving a “gym bag” as others who have backed her claims. The friend and Moulton both gave interviews to the Intercept.
62. “LaCasse told Business Insider: “I remember her saying, here was this person that she was working for and she idolized him. And he kind of put her up against a wall. And he put his hand up her skirt and he put his fingers inside her. She felt like she was assaulted, and she really didn’t feel there was anything she could do.”
63. “LaCasse said that Reade was “upset” when she told her about the allegation and “the more she talked about it, the more she started crying.” She said she remembered urging Reade to file a police report but did not recall specific details from the alleged incident, like the location or remarks Biden had allegedly made to Reade.
64. ““I don’t remember all the details,” LaCasse told Business Insider. “I remember the skirt. I remember the fingers. I remember she was devastated.”
65. “LaCasse, a retired staffer of San Luis Obispo General Hospital, said she lived in the same apartment complex as Reade in Morro Bay, Calif. She recalled how the two of them had talked about “violent stories” they’ve experienced, which was when Reade told her “about the senator that she had worked for and he put his hand up her skirt.”
“Joe Biden’s presidential campaign is reportedly sharing talking points trying to discredit his sexual assault accuser, Tara Reade. The problem is, this script makes not one, not two, but three false claims.
“Here is the full text of the talking points, per the far-left BuzzFeed:
“Biden believes that all women have the right to be heard and to have their claims thoroughly reviewed,” the talking points read, according to a copy sent to two Democratic operatives. “In this case, a thorough review by the New York Times has led to the truth: this incident did not happen.”
“Here’s the bottom line,” they read. “Vice President Joe Biden has spent over 40 years in public life: 36 years in the Senate; 7 Senate campaigns, 2 previous presidential runs, two vice presidential campaigns, and 8 years in the White House. There has never been a complaint, allegation, hint or rumor of any impropriety or inappropriate conduct like this regarding him — ever.”
“CLAIM #1: The New York Times conducted a “thorough review” of Reade’s allegations.
VERDICT: False.
Lie number one is the claim the New York Times conducted a “thorough review” of the Tara Reade’s increasingly-credible sexual assault allegation against Biden. We now know the Times did no such thing. A ton of corroborating evidence has been exposed since the Times released its sloppy “investigation,” which proves the Times was nothing close to thorough.
“CLAIM #2: The Times’ reporting “has led to the truth: this incident did not happen.”
VERDICT: False.
The second lie is that the New York Times concluded Joe Biden did not sexually assault Tara Reade. Even the far-left Times felt the need to debunk that straight-up falsehood — humiliating would-be VP Stacey Abrams, who already spread that fake news all over CNN primetime.
“Our investigation made no conclusion either way,” a Times spokesperson told BuzzFeed Wednesday morning.
“CLAIM #3: There has never even been a “hint” or “rumor” of similar behavior from Biden “ever” in history.
VERDICT: False.
The third lie is this nonsense about no “complaint, allegation, hint or rumor of any impropriety or inappropriate conduct like this regarding him — ever.”
To begin with, while Reade’s allegation — that Biden shoved his hand up her skirt in 1993, penetrated her vagina with his fingers, and then fired her after she complained — is by far the most serious, Tara Reade is the eighth woman — number eight! — to accuse Biden of misconduct.
“What’s more, there is also this 2008 report in a left-wing publication that definitively proves rumors and hints about Biden’s sexual misconduct have been around for more than a decade:
Biden is a notorious flapjaw. His vanity deludes him into believing that every word that drops from his mouth is minted in the golden currency of Pericles. Vanity is the most conspicuous characteristic of US Senators en bloc, nourished by deferential acolytes and often expressed in loutish sexual advances to staffers, interns and the like. On more than one occasion CounterPunch’s editors have listened to vivid accounts by the recipient of just such advances, this staffer of another senator being accosted by Biden in the well of the senate in the weeks immediately following his first wife’s fatal car accident. [emphasis added]
“So not only is [was] Joe Biden refusing to address Reade’s credible allegations directly (he has yet to comment on them and the fake news media have not asked him to comment), not only has he so far refused to call on the University of Delaware to release the Senate papers that might hold Reade’s alleged harassment complaint against him, he is also issuing talking points that are so flagrantly untrue the New York Times felt the need to speak up.
“With her desire to have investigative reporters check out the details of her story and her call for Biden to release his Senate papers, Reade continues to act like a woman with nothing to hide.
“With his refusal to protest his own innocence, to open up his papers, and the issuing of at least three lies in his talking points, Joe Biden continues to act like a man with everything to hide.

1. BARREL, did Geraldo just say “DEER IN THE HEADLIGHTS?” What was he referring to?
2. PORK, Geraldo was referring to Sleepy Joe during his recent interview about Tara Reade. Geraldo said Joe looked like a DEER IN THE HEADLIGHTS.
3. What does that mean?
4. It means Joe looked stunned and guilty.
1. PORK, should Joe Biden withdraw?
2. Yes, BARREL, he should withdraw.
3. He will never make it now. POTUS TRUMP’s poll numbers eclipse Joe’s.
4. If he stays, all he will do is take the democratic party down with him. His presence will take governors down and Senators and House congress men and women. His presence will take Pelosi down and Schiff and Nadler and many others.
5. Why? Because there are now multiple credible witnesses supporting Tara Reade no matter how shrill Nancy Pelosi and several others are. Regarding poll numbers, don’t believe that Joe leads POTUS TRUMP. Joe has little or no media coverage compared to POTUS TRUMP. POTUS TRUMP has done a major good job dealing with COVID 19 and the whole nation recognizes this with the exception of a few who would trash him no matter what he does. There is no way the negative media groups can whitewash Tara Reade and make her go away.
6. Regarding the Tara Reade disclosue, her mother is a witness even though she is now deceased. The detail was found on a Larry King program. And others have come forward.
7. So there goes the complete woman vote and the men as well.
8. Puts Bernie back front and center.
9. Maybe Governor Cuomo.
10. No question POTUS TRUMP is now guaranteed a second term.
11. BARREL, John Nolte wrote and Breitbart just published: 16 Reasons Why I Believe Joe Biden Sexually Assaulted Tara Reade, published in Breitbart at https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2020/04/26/nolte-16-reasons-why-i-believe-joe-biden-sexually-assaulted-tara-reade/
2. Read JOHN NOLTE 26 Apr 202068:40
3. “When Reade originally came forward in April of 2019, she joined about a half-dozen women who have credibly accused Biden of unwanted touching. And I say “credibly” because Biden has serially committed acts of unwanted touching in public. We have countless videos of Biden making women and children uncomfortable with inappropriate hair-sniffing, nuzzling, kissing, and getting handsy.”
4. “Now, however, Reade tells a much more lurid and disturbing story of being sexually assaulted by Biden. While working for the then-Delaware Senator while in her mid-20s, she says he cornered her in a hallway, thrust his hands up her skirt, penetrated her vagina, and when she objected, he said something to the effect of, “Come on, I heard you like me.”
5. “Reade further alleges that after she complained, there was retaliation. She lost her job.”
6. “So here are the reasons why I now believe Joe Biden sexually assaulted Tara Reade…
7. “Reade Did Not Change Her Story
8. “Experts Say Assault Victims Frequently Don’t Tell the Full Story All at Once
9. “Reade is a Lifelong Democrat
10. “Reade Worked in Biden’s Senate Office in 1993
11. “Witness Number One. Reade told her brother about the alleged sexual assault at the time it happened. McHugh has talked to Reade’s brother and says the details of their stories are the same.
12. “Witness Number Two. Reade told a friend about the alleged sexual assault at the time it happened. McHugh has talked to Reade’s friend and says the details of their stories are the same.
13. “Witness Number Three Reade told a friend about the alleged assault about 15 years after it happened, so sometime around 2008. McHugh has talked to this woman and this woman confirms Reade told her a “horrific” story about Biden.
14. “Witness Number Four McHugh spoke with an intern who worked under Reade in Biden’s Senate office at the time. The intern knew nothing about the alleged assault, but McHugh says, “she said … in mid-April of 1993, Tara was abruptly no longer her supervisor. So the timing matches exactly with what Tara was saying.”
15. “And what Reade is saying is that she was fired for filing a complaint.
16. “Reade Invites Scrutiny. Unlike Blasey Ford, who hid behind her lawyers and little girl voice, Reade is inviting scrutiny, has asked investigative reporters like McHugh to dig into the details of her allegation.
17. “Liars never invite scrutiny. They dodge it and look for excuses to avoid it.
18. “Scrutiny Has Only Bolstered Reade’s Claim Since Reade invited this scrutiny, details have only bolstered her claim, not contradicted it. Most notably…
19. “Mom’s Anguished Call to Larry King Live. Reade has been telling interviewers she told her mother, Jeanette Altimus, at the time about the alleged assault. Unfortunately, Altimus passed in 2016, so there is no way to verify this… Except there is… Reade’s been telling journalists that sometime in 1993 her mother called into CNN’s Larry King Live asking for advice about her daughter’s problems with a “prominent senator.” That video clip has now been found, and is a crucial and damning piece of evidence in support of Reade’s allegation.
20. “The University of Delaware Refuses to Open Biden’s Senate Papers
21. “Biden Is Not Demanding the University of Delaware Open His Papers
22. “Look at the difference between Kavanaugh and Biden…
23. “Kavanaugh could not wait to defend himself in public, to put forth all the documentation asked for, to do whatever he could to invite whatever scrutiny was required to prove his innocence.
24. “Biden, on the other hand, is in hiding. He has not even said a word about the allegation (it helps that in a series of interviews with friendly fake reporters like Jake Tapper, Anderson Cooper, and George Stephanopoulos, he wasn’t asked). [The claim that the NY Times exonerates him is bogus. The endorsement by HC is bogus.]
25. “Further, Biden is not asking the University of Delaware to throw open his senate papers while begging reporters to dig through them knowing this will prove no one filed a sexual harassment complaint against him.
26. “Biden is acting like a guilty man. The guilty have everything to hide.
27. “Innocent men, like Kavanaugh, have nothing to hide.
28. “The Media are Terrified of This Story. Within a few weeks, on top of countless hours of broadcast time, CNN published nearly 700 stories in support of Blasey Ford’s ridiculous lies. As of this writing, CNN has published only two stories about Reade, both of them favorable to Biden.
29. “No one in the media has dared ask Biden about the allegation, and when the media do bring it up, they try to write Reade off as a crank, as an unstable Putin supporter (an allegation McHugh says is false).
30. This “… is exactly what the media [and Hillary] did to Bill Clinton’s victims. Paula Jones was smeared as trailer trash. Monica Lewinsky was defamed as a crazed stalker. Kathleen Willey was slandered as an unstable gold digger. Juanita Broaddrick was swept under the rug. …
31. “If the media believed they could debunk and discard Reade’s allegation with facts, they would be all over this story. They know they can’t, so they are treating it like its radioactive — because it is.
32. “Biden Has a Long Pattern of Inappropriate Touching. Biden’s sense of entitlement when it comes to inappropriately touching women and CHILDREN, is well-established. If he behaves this way in public, imagine his behavior in private.
33. “Reade Faces Prison If She’s Lying. Last month, Reade filed a formal criminal complaint against Biden, and one of the penalties for filing a false complaint is prison.
34. “So while Reade is inviting investigative reporters to dig into and possibly debunk her allegation, she is also risking prison if that debunking occurs.
35. “Bottom line…
36. “Reade is behaving like someone desperate to expose a terrible truth, while Biden is behaving like someone with something terrible to hide.
37. “Additional evidence could certainly change my mind. But right now the only people who do not want this investigated are Joe Biden and his media allies.

41. Yes, PORK, Biden enriched himself and his family with multi-millions if not billions of dollars via China.
42. He enriched himself and his family with multi-millions if not billions of dollars via Ukraine.
43. Tara Reade is front and center.
44. Joe has nowhere to go.
45. No wonder he is sleepy and holed up hiding in his basement.
46. No wonder it took POTUS Obama so long to endorse. POTUS Obama knew all about this.
47. BARREL, Joe is in hiding.
48. His wife is speaking for him.
49. He is well advised to use health and cognitive decline as his excuse for dropping out.
50. With Tara Reade and China and Ukraine facts on the table, with the fact that he owns all of POTUS Obama’s negative policies that made us less free, safe, and prosperous, there is no way Joe can win an election.
51. It will be POTUS TRUMP in a massive landslide.
52. MORE WITNESSES – unlike the Kavanaugh situation. “Two more people who knew Tara Reade in the ’90s reportedly came forward on Monday to back the former Senate staffer’s claims of sexual misconduct against Joe Biden.
53. “Lynda LaCasse, a former next-door neighbor of Reade’s and a self-described supporter of Biden spoke on the record with Rich McHugh of Business Insider about past conversations they had with Reade about the allegations.
54. ““This happened, and I know it did because I remember talking about it,” LaCasse told Business Insider, recalling a conversation with Reade that occurred in either 1995 or 1996.
55. “Another past acquaintance, Lorraine Sanchez, a former colleague, also recalled past conversations with Reade, though she said did not recall Reade referring to Biden by name.
56. ““[Reade said] she had been sexually harassed by her former boss while she was in DC,” Sanchez told the publication, “and as a result of her voicing her concerns to her supervisors, she was let go, fired.”
57. “Biden himself has not addressed the claims from Reade — but his campaign has vehemently denied the allegations.
58. “Reade on Monday confirmed to Fox News the accuracy of how her conversations with LaCasse and Sanchez were described and expressed her deep gratitude towards them for coming forward.
59. ““I am touched that they would step forward knowing the targeted harassment I have received since I made my history with Joe Biden public. I appreciate their candor and bravery,” Reade said in a statement.
60. “LaCasse and Sanchez could be cited as more evidence supporting Reade’s allegation.
61. “They join Reade’s friend, who says they were told about the alleged assault at the time it happened but has chosen to remain anonymous, and her brother Collin Moulton, who recalled Reade describing an incident with Biden involving a “gym bag” as others who have backed her claims. The friend and Moulton both gave interviews to the Intercept.
62. “LaCasse told Business Insider: “I remember her saying, here was this person that she was working for and she idolized him. And he kind of put her up against a wall. And he put his hand up her skirt and he put his fingers inside her. She felt like she was assaulted, and she really didn’t feel there was anything she could do.”
63. “LaCasse said that Reade was “upset” when she told her about the allegation and “the more she talked about it, the more she started crying.” She said she remembered urging Reade to file a police report but did not recall specific details from the alleged incident, like the location or remarks Biden had allegedly made to Reade.
64. ““I don’t remember all the details,” LaCasse told Business Insider. “I remember the skirt. I remember the fingers. I remember she was devastated.”
65. “LaCasse, a retired staffer of San Luis Obispo General Hospital, said she lived in the same apartment complex as Reade in Morro Bay, Calif. She recalled how the two of them had talked about “violent stories” they’ve experienced, which was when Reade told her “about the senator that she had worked for and he put his hand up her skirt.”
Joe Biden’s presidential campaign is reportedly sharing talking points trying to discredit his sexual assault accuser, Tara Reade. The problem is, this script makes not one, not two, but three false claims.
Here is the full text of the talking points, per the far-left BuzzFeed:
“Biden believes that all women have the right to be heard and to have their claims thoroughly reviewed,” the talking points read, according to a copy sent to two Democratic operatives. “In this case, a thorough review by the New York Times has led to the truth: this incident did not happen.”
“Here’s the bottom line,” they read. “Vice President Joe Biden has spent over 40 years in public life: 36 years in the Senate; 7 Senate campaigns, 2 previous presidential runs, two vice presidential campaigns, and 8 years in the White House. There has never been a complaint, allegation, hint or rumor of any impropriety or inappropriate conduct like this regarding him — ever.”
CLAIM #1: The New York Times conducted a “thorough review” of Reade’s allegations.
VERDICT: False.
Lie number one is the claim the New York Times conducted a “thorough review” of the Tara Reade’s increasingly-credible sexual assault allegation against Biden. We now know the Times did no such thing. A ton of corroborating evidence has been exposed since the Times released its sloppy “investigation,” which proves the Times was nothing close to thorough.
CLAIM #2: The Times’ reporting “has led to the truth: this incident did not happen.”
VERDICT: False.
The second lie is that the New York Times concluded Joe Biden did not sexually assault Tara Reade. Even the far-left Times felt the need to debunk that straight-up falsehood — humiliating would-be VP Stacey Abrams, who already spread that fake news all over CNN primetime.
“Our investigation made no conclusion either way,” a Times spokesperson told BuzzFeed Wednesday morning.
CLAIM #3: There has never even been a “hint” or “rumor” of similar behavior from Biden “ever” in history.
VERDICT: False.
The third lie is this nonsense about no “complaint, allegation, hint or rumor of any impropriety or inappropriate conduct like this regarding him — ever.”
To begin with, while Reade’s allegation — that Biden shoved his hand up her skirt in 1993, penetrated her vagina with his fingers, and then fired her after she complained — is by far the most serious, Tara Reade is the eighth woman — number eight! — to accuse Biden of misconduct.
What’s more, there is also this 2008 report in a left-wing publication that definitively proves rumors and hints about Biden’s sexual misconduct have been around for more than a decade:
Biden is a notorious flapjaw. His vanity deludes him into believing that every word that drops from his mouth is minted in the golden currency of Pericles. Vanity is the most conspicuous characteristic of US Senators en bloc, nourished by deferential acolytes and often expressed in loutish sexual advances to staffers, interns and the like. On more than one occasion CounterPunch’s editors have listened to vivid accounts by the recipient of just such advances, this staffer of another senator being accosted by Biden in the well of the senate in the weeks immediately following his first wife’s fatal car accident. [emphasis added]
So not only is Joe Biden refusing to address Reade’s credible allegations directly (he has yet to comment on them and the fake news media have not asked him to comment), not only has he so far refused to call on the University of Delaware to release the Senate papers that might hold Reade’s alleged harassment complaint against him, he is also issuing talking points that are so flagrantly untrue the New York Times felt the need to speak up.
With her desire to have investigative reporters check out the details of her story and her call for Biden to release his Senate papers, Reade continues to act like a woman with nothing to hide.
With his refusal to protest his own innocence, to open up his papers, and the issuing of at least three lies in his talking points, Joe Biden continues to act like a man with everything to hide.

1. PORK, Politico founding editor John F. Harris doesn’t get it. In fact, he is glaringly wrong.
2. Get what, BARREL? How is he wrong?
3. PORK, John Harris is like Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi, Adam Schiff, Jerry Nadler, Joe Biden, and many other democrats and some republicans and many of the media owners and pundits who likewise don’t get it.
4. How so, BARREL?
5. John argues that Coronavirus COVID-19 marks the “end of Trumpism” and in doing so, John demonstrates his lack of understanding of human nature.
6. Contrary to John’s myopic smoke and mirrors analysis, Trumpism is not the idea of promoting and protecting American sovereignty and singularity exclusively.
7. Trumpism is not about sealing our borders and isolationism.
8. Trumpism is not about disassociating America from the interconnected global economy but rather doing deals that make sense for America.
9. Trumpism is not about beating up on China or Russia but rather doing deals that make sense for America.
10. Trumpism is not about boasting and bluster, or about triumphalism, or about projecting certitude at all costs, but rather it is about fighting back against fake news and fake politicians and fake business deals and fake bureaucrats and fake laws.
11. Trumpism is not about creating reality by proclamation but rather about being positive and faith filled instead of tearing down the nation.
12. Trumpism is not about failing to acknowledge imprecision but rather dealing with imprecision by using the best expertise available.
13. Trumpism is not about mockery and castigation of opponents which fails to unite the nation but rather Trumpism is mockery and castigation of opponents who don’t get it – opponents who think it not a criminal felony to bleach bit their emails, hammer their blackberries, lie about and blame Benghazi on a video, take multi-millions in bribes and payoffs from countries and individuals into a personal foundation in return for influence, take up precious government house and senate time with garbage investigations and impeachment hearings, use political office to get a billion from China or launder a billion thru Ukraine to fight a proxy war with Russia, or enrich multi-family members and cronies.
15. OK, BARREL, you have told me what Trumpism is not. You have told me that John and Chuck and Nancy and Adam and Jerry and Joe don’t get it. What is it?
16. Trumpism is about helping us Americans be FREE, SAFE, and PROSPEROUS while not selling out one’s integrity and dishonoring one’s office.
17. That is why Coronavirus COVID-19 has no bearing whatsoever on Trumpism.
18. That is why POTUS TRUMP will be re-elected.
19. That is why POTUS TRUMP will go down in history as one of the great presidents of all time.
20. Why? Because his focus has not been on enriching himself. Because his focus has been on keeping his more than 300 promises to help us and our children and our unborn be FREE, SAFE, and PROSPEROUS.
21. That is why POTUS TRUMP’s real approval rating is 80% to 95%.
22. We told Chuck and Nancy long ago the secret to winning elections but they wouldn’t listen and so they squandered their opportunity by wasting years of our time and millions of our money. And that secret we told them is simply to pull all stops and focus and work together across the aisle to help us be FREE, SAFE, and PROSPEROUS as opposed to spending $30 – $100 million plus in wasteful, foolish impeachment hearings and special counsel investigations.
23. What John and Chuck and Nancy and Adam and Jerry and Joe don’t get is the fact that we care for POTUS TRUMP because he is helping us more often than not forgotten Americans be FREE, SAFE, and PROSPEROUS, because he is working as well to help others outside America be FREE, SAFE, and PROSPEROUS.
24. Nothing more. Nothing less. That is why we care deeply for him and support him with money and votes.
25. Should POTUS TRUMP turn on us and stop helping us and others be FREE, SAFE, and PROSPEROUS, we would move away from him in a heartbeat. That, my friend PORK, is how the cow eats the cabbage.
26. And last but not least, as is the case of a natural disaster, there is no way we blame him for Coronavirus COVID-19 or the stock market drop.
27. Trumpism has become synonymous with POTUS TRUMP’S indefatigable efforts to help us be Constitutionally FREE, SAFE, AND PROSPEROUS first and with POTUS TRUMP’S helping other people and nations be FREE, SAFE, and PROSPEROUS as well.
28. That is why his rallies are filled to overflowing. That is why he will be re-elected.
29. You are preaching to the choir, BARREL. You are preaching to the choir.
WE REPORT! YOU DECIDE!
BARREL, here are FIFTY REASONS I will not be voting for Joe Biden – reasons based on media, Sweizer’s book Profiles in Corruption, and my conclusion that Joe is corrupt, incompetent, and senile.
Have at it, PORK.
1. My first conclusion is that Joe is the king of corruption having facilitated his self-enrichment including enriching self and five family members, his son Hunter, his son-in-law Howard, his brother James, his brother Frank, and his Sister Valerie. (See https://nypost.com/2020/01/18/how-five-members-of-joe-bidens-family-got-rich-through-his-connections/)
2. Joe is corrupt because he engineered having his son get a million dollar job from Ukraine company Burisma when Joe and the Oligarch owner of Burisma knew his son had no oil and gas experience. https://nypost.com/2020/01/18/how-five-members-of-joe-bidens-family-got-rich-through-his-connections/); https://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2019/10/04/schweizer_bidens_son_cashed_in_on_vp_being_point_man_for_obama_in_ukraine_and_china.html
3. Joe is corrupt because he engineered his brother receiving a billion dollar IRAQ construction contract when his brother had no construction experience. https://nypost.com/2020/01/18/how-five-members-of-joe-bidens-family-got-rich-through-his-connections/); https://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2020/01/21/peter_schweizer_joe_bidens_brother_secured_iraq_housing_construction_contract_with_no_experience.html
4. Joe is corrupt because he engineered his sister receiving X dollars. https://nypost.com/2020/01/18/how-five-members-of-joe-bidens-family-got-rich-through-his-connections/); https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2019/08/02/joe-biden-investigation-hunter-brother-hedge-fund-money-2020-campaign-227407
5. Joe is corrupt and Bernie is corrupt because they have cashed in and taken X dollars into his own campaign and other accounts to further their power grabs and enrich themselves. https://nypost.com/2020/01/18/how-five-members-of-joe-bidens-family-got-rich-through-his-connections/); https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2020/03/bernie-sanders-joe-biden-enriched-their-families/607159/; https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2020/03/bernie-sanders-joe-biden-enriched-their-families/607159/; All one need do is take a hard look at How Joe Biden Went from Middle-Class Joe career politician with net worth of less than $30,000 in 2009 to a Millionaire many times over. Only one illustration, take a hard look at how Joe got $540,000 as a professor at the University of Pennsylvania’s Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement, coupled with lucrative book deals. https://www.townandcountrymag.com/society/politics/a31265187/joe-biden-net-worth/
6. Joe is corrupt because he facilitated his son getting a billion dollars plus from China for his incompetent son’s and John Kerry’s son’s start-up hedge fund because of which Joe is incapable of controlling China’s economic or COVID-19 or any other China U.S. relationship. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2020-election/biden-s-trip-china-son-hunter-2013-comes-under-new-n1061051;
7. Joe is corrupt because he withheld a billion dollars from Ukraine quid pro quo until Ukraine fired the prosecutor looking into Ukraine company Burisma where his son was a board member and then on camera Joe bragged and laughed about it. https://consortiumnews.com/2019/09/21/if-the-facts-come-out-it-could-spell-the-end-for-joe-biden/; https://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2019/09/27/flashback_2018_joe_biden_brags_at_cfr_meeting_about_withholding_aid_to_ukraine_to_force_firing_of_prosecutor.html
8. Joe is corrupt because according to Glenn Beck Joe helped launder a billion U.S. dollars thru a Ukraine Oligarch and Ukraine and other banks to fund a proxy war with Russia. https://thehill.com/opinion/white-house/437719-ukrainian-to-us-prosecutors-why-dont-you-want-our-evidence-on-democrats; https://www.truthdig.com/articles/the-legal-biden-family-corruption-democrats-refuse-to-acknowledge/
9. Joe is corrupt because just before he and Obama left office he rushed to give $150 billion dollars – much in cash – to Iran knowing Iran would use the money to stoke terrorism and war against us, our allies, and our troops. https://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2019/12/17/giuliani_my_ukraine_investigation_will_show_substantial_amount_of_corruption_that_took_place_under_obama.html; https://thehill.com/opinion/white-house/477666-obama-should-apologize-for-shameful-cash-payment-to-iran; https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2018/apr/27/donald-trump/donald-trump-iran-150-billion-and-18-billion-c/
10. Joe is corrupt because he knew about and condoned Hillary Clinton’s bleach bitting her emails and hammering her blackberries and illegally using a private server and taking millions pay to play into the Clinton Foundation and personal accounts for her personal use as well her “fake video” lies about Benghazi to help Obama at Romney’s expense.
11. Joe is corrupt because while he was Obama’s VP he knew about and condoned the FISA surveillance of POTUS TRUMP and his campaign.
12. Joe is corrupt because he knew about and condoned and supported Pelosi, Schiff, Nadler, and Schumer, in their fake partisan impeachment of POTUS TRUMP.
13. Joe is corrupt because he knew about and condoned the fake Mueller investigation.
14. Joe is corrupt because he supports open borders which would have left us with hundreds of thousands of COVID-19 cases and thousands of deaths.
15. Joe is corrupt because he voted for and supports democrat driven abortion which to date since primarily democrat Roe v Wade has caused more than 300,000,000 unborn babies to be killed surgically and chemically since 1973 – 50,000,000+ Black babies, 50,000,000+ Hispanic babies, 200,000,000+ Native American, Asian American, Caucasian babies.
16. Joe is corrupt having worked with Obama to facilitate the transfer payment building of other nations all the while destroying American values and the American middle class.
17. My second conclusion is that Joe is incompetent.
18. He is incompetent because he is a quintessential career politician, part of the gravy train establishment, who has never met a payroll and doesn’t understand how the real world works.
19. Joe is incompetent because he cost us multi-millions of dollars in exorbitant health care costs.
20. Joe is incompetent because he was and still is responsible for all of Obama’s incompetent policies that were designed to and in fact did curtail our freedom, safety, and prosperity.
21. Joe is incompetent as a career politician because he cannot point to one promise he has kept in all his years as a government bureaucrat that helps us be free, safe, or prosperous while POTUS TRUMP has kept more than 300 of his campaign promises all focused on helping us be free, safe, and prosperous.
22. My third conclusion is that Joe is senile, showing the weaknesses or diseases of dementia, of old age, the loss of his mental facilities including decreased memory and mental faculties.
23. I believe Joe is senile because he can’t remember the facts.
24. Joe is senile because he can’t debate with reason so he has to resort to profanity, calling out the “deplorables” who challenge him for his corruption.
25. Joe is described as senior moment Joe. https://nypost.com/2020/03/04/democrats-should-be-wary-of-backing-joe-biden-and-his-senior-moments-devine/
26. Joe is senior moment senile because he can’t remember who others are.
27. Joe is senior moment senile because he can’t remember where he is.
28. Joe is senile because he can’t remember who he is.
29. Joe is senile because he can’t remember what he is.
30. Joe is senile because he can’t remember the difference between flu and COVID-19.
31. Joe is described in the media as a senile creepy sniffing hands on old man without the stamina to campaign let alone carry out the heavy duties of POTUS – skipping major party events, hiding from the press, holding only a quarter and half as many public events as other candidates..
32. Joe is described in the media as a senile political gaffe machine. https://www.newsweek.com/joe-biden-gaffes-quotes-2020-election-1323905
33. Or misspeak Joe.
34. Or freak-out get angry Joe.
35. Or shocking mental lapse cognitive decline Joe.
36. My fourth conclusion is that Joe is a calamity waiting to happen.
37. Joe is described as physically infirm.
38. He suffered a burst blood vessel in his eye.
39. His loose dentures are telling.
40. Joe underwent brain surgery.
41. He experienced multiple brain aneurysms.
42. All told, for too long Joe has had his fun in the sun as a Senator and as VP.
43. Now it is time to retire old Joe to pasture.
44. Joe ran for POTUS and lost in 1988.
45. He ran and lost again in 2008.
46. His runs for the presidency are described in the media as calamities – losing for “plagiarism” and for saying “he graduated in the top half of his law school, when in fact, he ranked 76th out of 85.” https://www.nytimes.com/2019/06/03/us/politics/biden-1988-presidential-campaign.html; https://time.com/5636715/biden-1988-presidential-campaign/
47. Joe confessed that he can’t handle two terms. In my judgment, Joe can’t handle one.
48. Why? Summed up, BARREL, because Joe admits he wasn’t actually arrested in apartheid South Africa. https://www.businessinsider.com/joe-biden-not-arrested-apartheid-south-africa-campaign-story-2020-2
49. The New Republic concludes that Joe is Collapsing.
50. In my judgment, Joe has already collapsed and Joe’s electability is a myth with fatal implications for the country. https://www.truthdig.com/articles/the-myth-of-joe-bidens-electability/ At the same time POTUS TRUMP is working over time to help us be FREE, SAFE, and PROSPEROUS.
I agree with you PORK.
WE REPORT. YOU DECIDE.
1. BARREL, I know 300,000,000 reasons never to vote for Joe Biden or for Chuck Schumer who just threatened our Supreme Court Justices with harm.
2. What are they, PORK?
3. BARREL, according to the Planned Parenthood online abortion counter and footnote, 300,000,000+ babies have been surgically and chemically killed in the U.S. since democrat sponsored Roe v. Wade in 1973.
4. 50,000,000+ were BLACK babies.
5. 50,000,000+ were Hispanic babies.
6. 200,000,000+ were Native American, Caucasian, and Asian American babies.
7. That’s the equivalent in numbers of a holocaust of 6,000,000+ babies killed each year.
8. Yes, PORK, and Joe and Chuck are responsible for all of them.
1. PORK, do you think George Soros was the puppeteer during the Biden Obama administration and that Obama was the puppet?
2. BARREL, I did notice today that Attorney Alan Dershowitz states categorically that George Soros told Obama to investigate someone yet to be revealed.
https://m.facebook.com/Breitbart/posts/10164599422320354
3. And I do know that a puppeteer is a person who manipulates an inanimate object [in this case an animate object person] called a puppet to create the illusion that the puppet is alive.
4. We report! You decide!
1. So BARREL, Glenn Beck dropped a hydrogen bomb on the democrats last night. Do you think Glenn Beck is right?
2. Glenn Beck has opinions about many things.
3. PORK, coming on the heals of total acquittal of POTUS TRUMP, Glenn dropped a hydrogen bomb on Joe and Hunter Biden and Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton and John Kerry and other democrats last night, a bomb blast from which the democrat party likely will never recover if true.
4. He showed us last night on his show a democrat Profile in Corruption that is a million times worse than Nixon’s Watergate ever hoped to be.
5. What Glenn showed us is what he says is evidence that Joe Biden and his son Hunter and Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton and John Kerry and other high level state department and CIA and FBI government officials and non-government people including at least one oligarch from Ukraine have been participating in a corrupt secret criminal multi- billion dollar money laundering operation using our tax dollars at the very least through Burisma and an Oligarch in Ukraine and a Ukraine bank.
6. BARREL, if that is true, that certainly is treason. It is high crimes and misdemeanor criminal activity and conduct. It is real obstruction of Congress. It is real abuse of power. Why on earth would the people Glenn mentioned do that?
7. PORK, Glenn says these people have done so in secret and they are doing so in secret without congressional approval in order to buy arms and fund a secret Proxy War against Russia and in the process some of them and their family members and cronies have secretly personally gotten rich – see Profiles in Corruption – and at the same time serious amounts of these secretly laundered U.S. government funds. our tax dollars, have been secretly funneled back into the DNC and to democrat candidates and democrat campaigns.
8. BARREL, this sounds like a conspiracy theory to me. If it is true though, if Glenn is correct, this explains so much.
9. How so, PORK?
10. BARREL, if this is true, it explains many if not all of the real reasons why the democrats from before his inauguration were bent on impeaching POTUS TRUMP and were and still are so over the top vociferous about Putin Russia collusion.
11. This is a far more reasonable explanation. It is not so much that they don’t like POTUS TRUMP, it is that they fear and indeed are terrified that he and AG Barr and John Durham and Rudy Giuliani and others know and are on to them.
12. The anti-POTUS TRUMP media has focused our attention on the idea that all this impeachment is about the simple fact that Hillary lost the election. In hindsight, now, and if Glenn is correct, simple loss of an election is not the compelling reason for all the heat POTUS TRUMP and his family and the nation have been experiencing since POTUS TRUMP was elected.
13. If it is true that these people have been criminally laundering billion(s) of our hard earned tax money , fear, indeed the sheer terror, of getting caught criminally money laundering our tax dollars to fund a secret proxy war against Russia and enrich themselves and fund the DNC and democrat candidates is a far more compelling reason for all the still ongoing vitriol. If true, they are afraid and actually terrified because they have done wrong and committed treason and high crimes against America.
14. I mean, if this is true and they are in fact secretly funding a proxy war against Russia can you even begin to quantify the unconstitutionality and the sheer stupidity and extreme risk to Americans and the world?
15. If this is true, it explains why Joe Biden was giving Ukraine and a criminal Oligarch huge money and as this unravels it may be and begin to explain the real reason why POTUS OBAMA and Joe gave Iran billions during the month before they left office.
16. If this is true, Glenn’s presentation begins to explain why Hunter Biden was involved on the board of Burisma the Oligarch company’s board. This is not just a simple story of a Vice President’s kid ending up in Ukraine on the board of a corrupt company Burisma owned by the same criminal Oligarch who received U.S. billions as part of the criminal money laundering scheme.
17. If this is true, it explains why the DNC and Schiff and Nadler and Pelosi and Schumer and CIA people are so terrified and intent on accusing POTUS TRUMP of Russian collusion and why they impeached him. This suggests that they know about and even may have participated in the criminal money laundering thru Ukraine to fund the proxy war against Russia. They may have been participants and recipients. They are complicit if they knew. They are co-conspirators if they knew and took laundered U.S. money.
18. If this is true, it may explain why POTUS Obama and Hillary have all but disappeared and been so quiet.
19. If this is true, as the web unravels it may explain in part the millions if not billions funneled to the Clintons and the Clinton Foundation.
20. If this is true, there are a number of highest level people who deserve to be wearing felony treason striped jump suits for many years to come. If true, this starts to explain Vinman and the Ukraine ambassador and Bolton.
21. If this is true, it explains why Adam Schiff and Jerry Nadler and Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer and the democrats have been off the charts angry and fearful of POTUS TRUMP talking to Putin outside of their presence – beside themselves wanting to know what was said between the two men.
22. If this is true, it does explain Vinman and John Bolton because they knew and participated. It likely even explains the Whistleblower. It likely explains Bolton’s firing. At the same time somebody ought to look into where Bernie Sanders got his millions.
23. If this is true, it explains the true reasons for POTUS TRUMP’S Ukraine calls. If he was withholding aid at all, and hoping for an investigation, he would have been doing so in order to further document the secret criminal money laundering and secret criminal funding of a proxy war against Russia.
24. If this is true, it [criminal money laundering] may also explain how and where Barack Obama got the funding to win the election and beat Romney and how other Senators and congress persons got and get their campaign funding. It may even explain how Bernie got so rich. And it may explain much of the media vitriol and fake news if the media network leadership knew where the multi-millions in advertising and PR money was coming from.
25. If this is true, it may also tie back to George Soros and the globalist agenda.
26. If this is true, this may also begin to explain why no-experience Hunter Biden got $1.5 billion from China. Glenn says he is going to explain this one next week. He and his team claim to have followed the money. Glenn claims he is going to tell us where the $1.5 billion from China went. I’m going to guess that the $1.5 billion was not hedge fund money at all.
27. If this is true, it explains why Schiff and Nadler and Pelosi and Schumer and the Podestas and the DNC and other congress people and senators and why the anti-TRUMP media have pushed Russia Collusion, Russia Collusion, Russia Collusion, Quid Pro Quo, Bribery, and other charges against POTUS TRUMP.
28. If this is true, it is once again on the part of the democrats a blatant case of Saul Alinsky 101 accuse your opponent of what you are doing.
29. Yes, BARREL, and if this is true, if they have been criminally money laundering billions of our tax dollars to fund a criminal proxy war against Russia, Senator Chuck Grassley and Senator Lindsey Graham and AG Barr and John Durham and all of the media including those that have been anti-TRUMP for so long better double down and check out Glenn Beck’s hydrogen bomb presentation carefully and if true we can only hope they will stand up and be counted and bring those people who are responsible to justice.
30. PORK, I’ll bet POTUS TRUMP and AG Barr and John Durham already know all of this. AG Barr and Rudy Giuliani have flown to countries to get the facts. I can’t imagine that they do not already know all of this. Let’s see what they do about it. If true, hopefully they won’t wait too long to eliminate any thought of two-tiered justice.
31. We report. You decide.
After the first day of the Impeachment Defense by POTUS TRUMP’S lawyers, it looks like Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer and the democrats are still playing in the minor leagues and have boomerang stepped in it again and have egg on their faces, PORK. Only this time, POTUS TRUMP played for keeps. There is “no collusion” and “no obstruction” and “no corruption” and Adam Schiff lied multiple times and POTUS TRUMP is vindicated once again and Joe Biden is corrupt and has enriched five of his family and himself while misusing his office according to Peter Sweizer and Joe along with Adam are political toast and Bernie Sanders or Elizabeth Warren or Mike Bloomberg will be the nominee. It’s a done deal.
How so, BARREL? If that is true, it sounds like Nancy Pelosi is working for POTUS Trump.
She is, PORK. Instead of having her ducks in a row they have all drowned.
Keep in mind, the Senate Democrats sent a letter to Ukraine in May of 2018 leaning on Ukraine to investigate POTUS TRUMP. Read this at https://townhall.com/tipsheet/timothymeads/2019/09/25/dems-sent-letter-to-ukraine-asking-for-investigation-to-trump-n2553705
8. “Here’s what Theissen reported Tuesday:
9. “It got almost no attention, but in May, CNN reported that Sens. Robert Menendez (D-N.J.), Richard J. Durbin (D-Ill.) and Patrick J. Leahy (D-Vt.) wrote a letter to Ukraine’s prosecutor general, Yuriy Lutsenko, expressing concern at the closing of four investigations they said were critical to the Mueller probe.
10. “In the letter, they implied that their support for U.S. assistance to Ukraine was at stake.
11. “Describing themselves as “strong advocates for a robust and close relationship with Ukraine,” the Democratic senators declared, “We have supported [the] capacity-building process and are disappointed that some in Kyiv appear to have cast aside these [democratic] principles to avoid the ire of President Trump,” before demanding Lutsenko “reverse course and halt any efforts to impede cooperation with this important investigation.”
12. “So, it’s okay for Democratic senators to encourage Ukraine to investigate Trump, but it’s [hypocritically] not okay for the president to allegedly encourage Ukraine to investigate Hunter Biden?
13. ” … The letter clearly shows they were threatening to withhold assistance unless the Ukrainian government did as they demanded. Between this uncovered letter and former Vice President Joe Biden bragging about intimidating the Ukrainian prosecutor, this whole thing is boomeranging on the Dems. Here comes Trump 2020, folks, steamrolling into the White House (again).
14. As well, “Recommended BREAKING: President Trump’s Ukraine Call Transcript Has Been Released and Blows Up the Latest Impeachment Narrative Katie Pavlich
15. “Steve Guest@SteveGuest [Steve gets credit for a great note.]
16. “FLASHBACK to 2018 byYouTubing Joe Biden bragged about bribing Ukraine with $1 BILLION to fire the prosecutor who was investigating his son, Hunter Biden and the company Burisma – HB was on its board.
17. FLASH FOREWARD to the recently released Profiles in Corruption a book by Peter Sweizer setting forth Joe Biden’s corruption.
Yup, Joe Biden and Adam Schiff, who incidentally is up for reelection in his California district after having done nothing for his district rather choosing to spend his time lying about POTUS TRUMP and grandstanding, these two corrupt people are political toast.
18. Either Elizabeth Warren or Bernie Sanders or Mike Bloomberg will be the nominees.
Spot on, BARREL. Spot on.
1. BARREL, there is a commonly used euphemism which needs to be exploded.
2. A euphemism is the substitution of an agreeable term for a term that might offend or be unpleasant or challenge the integrity of a person or persons or an organization.
3. What is that euphemism, PORK?
4. That euphemism, BARREL, is this phrase “The Obama Administration” which is used so cavalierly and dismissively by the press.
5. How so, PORK?
6. Well, BARREL, the truth is “The Obama Administration” is simply an obfuscatory way and even a deceitful way of saying “POTUS OBAMA and JOE BIDEN and the democrats.”
7. POTUS OBAMA and JOE BIDEN and the democrats” were and they still are “the Obama Administration.”
8. You are right, PORK.
9. Didn’t Joe Biden and POTUS OBAMA and the democrats give Iran billions of dollars used by Soleimani and Iran leadership to foment terrorism in the Middle East and elsewhere and thereby harm our military personnel and further the Iranian nuclear ambitions?
10. Or is this fake news?
11. Doesn’t look like fake news, BARREL.
12. And Yes, POTUS OBAMA and I am going to call him COMPLICIT JOE BIDEN and the democrats did give Iran billions of dollars – a billion in cash – which was used to a serious degree to foster terrorism in the Middle East and to harm Israel and our military and civilians.
13. There is even indication that they did so because they hated Israel.
14. See Investors.com and Washington Times and CNBC and The Wall Street Journal regarding how the Obama administration – which is POTUS OBAMA and COMPLICIT Joe Biden — secretly gave Iran billions of dollars.
15. INVESTORS.COM. https://www.investors.com/politics/editorials/obama-iran-terrorism/;
16. WASHINGTON TIMES. https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2018/feb/7/inside-the-ring-obama-era-cash-traced-to-iran-back/;
18. WALL STREET JOURNAL. https://www.wsj.com/articles/u-s-sent-two-more-planeloads-of-cash-to-iran-after-initial-payment-1473208256
19. But PORK, can’t Joe Biden and the democrats wiggle out of this one by saying, “But I was only the Vice President. Or, they are no longer in power. I was not responsible. We were not responsible.”
20. Nope.
21. Much of the anti-POTUS Trump democrat liberal press may want to give Joe and the democrats a pass but the truth is “The Obama Administration” was and still is “then POTUS OBAMA and COMPLICIT JOE BIDEN and THE DEMOCRATS.”
22. All three are responsible for the many initiatives they took during the Obama time in office – initiatives which have harmed us and our FREEDOMS, SAFETY, and PROSPERITY.
23. They are signally responsible for giving Iran billions which Iran used for terrorism to the harm of all countries in the Middle East including Israel and to the U.S. and if we do a little research I suspect to the harm of England, Australia, Germany, France, Russia, China and other countries as well.
BARREL, is it true Joe Biden misused his political office to enrich his family?
Looks like it, PORK. Peter Schweizer documents that Joe facilitated son Hunter’s and John Kerry’s stepson Chris’s huge billion dollar plus hedge fund windfall from China. Joe has also admitted on video that he outed a Ukraine prosecutor who was investigating a company called Burisma which had as board member Joe’s son.
BARREL, what do most democrats and republicans and the media say about Joe Biden?
PORK, they set forth among other reasons these fifteen reasons not to vote for him.
1. The media has given Joe the moniker creepy uncle Joe.
2. He is known for his misconduct.
2.1. – Whispering in women’s ears.
2.2. – Shoulder rubbing women.
2.3. – Slow kissing the back of a young woman’s head.
3. He is at heart angry.
4. He is a career politician who has difficulty relating to younger generations.
5. He fraudulently used his office while in office to enrich himself and his family including his son with multi-millions of dollars from China.
6. He is now a socialist zebra having changed his stripes to lean farther left with the rest of the democrat candidates.
7. He is not electable as shown by the fact that few show up to his rallies which prompts the DNC to ask where is the white knight who besides Joe or Bernie or Elizabeth will rise up and be the democratic candidate. What about Oprah Winfrey or Michael Jordan?
8. Joe used his office to remove a Ukrainian prosecutor investigating his son, admitted it on camera, and laughed about it.
9. He is a questionable thinker and his multiple memory lapses and gaffes are common.
10. Joe has done little during his many years in politics for Black or Hispanic or Jewish Americans.
11. He has little history of keeping political promises while POTUS Trump has kept more than 300 of his campaign promises.
12. If elected, Joe will likely cost the New York Times and CNN and ABC and NBC and MSNBC and Fox News and Washington Post millions of dollars not to mention Joe’s negative effect on the US economy and this while POTUS Trump is generating billions of dollars in advertising for the media and has given impetus to the best economy and stock market and job situation for Blacks and Hispanics and the rest of us, including a strongest military, and dealing with a problematic border situation, ever.
13. Joe owns all of Barack Obama’s baggaged-up failed policies including but not limited to FISA warrant abuse, supporting the IRAQ and Afghan wars which cost us trillions, not dealing with ISIS, appeasement payment of a billion dollars in small bills to Iran, not to mention Joe’s part in the democrat contrived fake news Russia and Mueller probe and now impeachment hoax.
14. Like most of the democrats, since POTUS Trump was elected Joe has wasted his time and our time and treasure denigrating POTUS Trump and this while POTUS Trump has used his time and energy to help us be free, safe, and prosperous.
15. Even Joe’s campaign people and Joe’s wife can’t think of a good reason to vote for him.
1. BARREL, several politicians including several who have run or are running for the highest offices in America, as well certain former or current civil servants, stand accused of POLITICAL CORRUPTION and thus if true are not worthy of office or appointment.
BARREL, WHAT IS POLITICAL CORRUPTION AND ITS VARIOUS FORMS?
2. PORK, one simple definition of POLITICAL CORRUPTION is the misuse of public power
3. by an elected politician
4. or by an appointed civil servant
5. for personal
6. or family
7. or cronie/friend or group
8. monetary gain
9. or election campaign financing
10. or other advantage.
11. As a general rule, a CORRUPT politician or civil servant misuses his or her public power for money or privilege or advantage.
12. POLITICAL CORRUPTION IS THE ILLEGAL MISUSE OF ENTRUSTED POWER BY
13. heritage,
14. education,
15. marriage,
16. election,
17. appointment,
18. position,
19. or wealth,
20. for personal or family or friend or group gain of some sort.
21. POLITICAL CORRUPTION in a legal context refers to a wrongful design
22. to acquire or cause
23. some pecuniary or other advantage
24. at the expense of
25. “one’s oath of office,”
26. “fairness to one’s competitors”
27. or the public good.
28. POLITICAL CORRUPTION more often than not includes a quid pro quo, which is to say a favor or advantage granted or expected in return for something.
29. POLITICAL CORRUPTION encompasses a variety of wrongful acts, such as, among others, which is to say not limited to:
30. bribes,
31. kickbacks,
32. jury tampering,
33. gaining campaign financing
34. gaining funding for one’s controlled charity or foundation or business,
35. gaining funding for a family member’s or cronies’ business activities.
36. POLITICAL CORRUPTION IS abuse of public office for some sort of personal advantage.
37. Some highly publicized POLITICAL CORRUPTION involves public officials and law enforcement officers.
38. A 1998 report by the General Accounting Office states, “The most commonly identified pattern of drug-related police corruption involved small groups of officers who protected and assisted each other in criminal activities, rather than the traditional patterns of non-drug-related police corruption that involved just a few isolated individuals or systemic corruption pervading an entire police department or precinct.”
39. Being CORRUPT is obviously bad for the soul.
40. Being CORRUPT also harms the economy and thus the community.
41. In countries with a lot of POLITICAL CORRUPTION, less of their GDP goes into INVESTMENT and they have lower GROWTH rates.
42. POLITICALLY CORRUPT countries invest less in education, a sector of the economy that pays big economic dividends.
43. POLITICALLY CORRUPT countries require bribes, as opposed to being “clean no bribe countries,” and such POLITICAL CORRUPTION reduces capital.
44. POLITICALLY CORRUPT countries attract less FOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENT.
45. There is no such thing as good POLITICAL CORRUPTION. All POLITICAL CORRUPTION is bad.
46. Some economists point to similarities between bribery and paying taxes or buying a license to operate but this ethical lapse and abuse is not just short sighted, it is patently wrong.
47. The absence of POLITICAL CORRUPTION has huge economic benefits because such permits the development of institutions that enable a market economy to function efficiently.
48. Countries that outlaw graft in the conduct of public affairs grow by the emergence of institutions such as an independent judiciary, a free press, a well-paid civil service and, an economy in which FIRMS compete for customers and CAPITAL.
49. https://www.economist.com/economics-a-to-z/z
52. POLITICAL CORRUPTION IS “… an act done with intent to give some advantage inconsistent with official duty and the rights of others.
53. It includes bribery but is more comprehensive because an act may be corruptly done, though the advantage to be derived from it may be offered to or by another.”
54. In her 2011 article on corruption published in the Canadian law journal, The Advocate, Karen Katz writes;
55. “[POLITICAL CORRUPTION] is understood to be the exploitation of a position of trust, typically in the public sector, in order to receive a private gain, which may or may not be financial.
56. “[POLITICAL CORRUPTION] is not a simple issue of right and wrong, and conditions that encourage public officials to seek out or accept corruption include
57. the expected gains from undertaking a corrupt act exceed the expected costs and
58. little weight is placed on the costs [and harm] that corruption imposes on others.
59. “[Again,] (t)he most common form of [POLITICAL CORRUPTION] is bribery….”
60. In their 2000 article, Huther and Shahl suggest:
61. “… three broad varieties of [POLITICAL CORRUPTION] …
62. bureaucratic or petty [POLITICAL CORRUPTION] – vast number of public officials (bureaucrats and politicians) abusing public office often extracting small bribes or favors;
63. grand [POLITICAL CORRUPTION] – theft or [taking] or misuse of vast amount of [domestic or foreign] public funds by a relatively small number of officials; and
64. state capture or regulatory capture – collusion among public and private agents for private benefit….
65. “[POLITICAL CORRUPTION] [usually] only take(s) place when officials expect to derive net positive benefit from the transaction.”
66. In Nixon v Shrink Missouri Gove, Justice Souter of the United States Supreme Court used these words:
67. “[POLITICAL CORRUPTION] is a subversion of the political process.
68. “Elected officials are influenced to act contrary to their obligations of office by
69. “the prospect of financial gain to themselves
70. “or infusions of money into their campaigns.”

If that’s not corruption, I don’t know what is, PORK.
Spot on, BARREL. Spot on.
1. BARREL, is Senator Lindsey Graham going to come to the party and take the initiative and investigate and issue subpoenas?
2. I hope so, PORK. I want to know, did Joe Biden misuse his office to enrich his son and family?
3. Did Joe Biden force the Ukrainians to fire the prosecutor looking into the company Biden’s son was part of and then admit his perfidy and corruption and laugh about it?
4. Isn’t it obvious to the nation that the Democrats are undone because once again the boomerang smacks them with all of the scandals that are in their camp?
5. So Lindsey, are you going to investigate and validate that there is a set of massive Democrat scandals like Peter Schweizer and Mark Levin say?
6. Is the Biden family corrupt?
7. Did the Biden family obstruct justice?
8. Did Joe Biden blackmail the Ukrainian government and withhold military aid in order to get that prosecutor removed in order to protect his son and protect his future running for President?
9. Did Joe come into office poor and leave rich with money from China and elsewhere – in other words, how did a career politician do just that?
10. Did Hunter Biden and John Kerry’s son and Joe Biden and John Kerry walk away with $1.5 billion from China?
11. Is it accurate that there really is no whistle-blower just somebody who thought it up?
12. By the way, who leaked and committed a crime by leaking President Trump’s conversation with foreign leaders?
13. Lindsey, are you going to come to the party and take some initiative and appoint a special counsel and look into Biden and his son and John Kerry’s son and John Kerry?
14. Where are you Lindsey Graham? Where is your backbone? You stood up for Kavanaugh. Isn’t it time for you to stand up for POTUS Trump and help him fight the battle and not let this Democrat charade continue.
15. So Senator Lindsey Graham, isn’t it time to take the gloves off and if there is corruption on the part of the Bidens and others stand up and be counted and deal with it?
1. PORK, what are your thoughts following the third debate?
2. Has Biden fallen apart?
3. Has he lost the democrat primary?
4. Yes, BARREL.
5. The democratic leadership and electorate need to wake up and pay attention.
6. At the third primary debate he produced 9 gaffes, lies, and awkward moments — adding to the growing list.
7. Examples – he referred to Bernie Sanders as “president.”
8. He couldn’t keep his false teeth straight.
9. He was lost in time.
10. He rambled.
11. He referred to himself as Congressman when he never served.
12. Keep in mind, Joe is a loser.
13. He lost in 1988.
14. He lost again in 2008.
15. Using an oxymoron, he says if elected his first priority will be to beat Donald Trump.
16. He forgot Baraak Obama’s name.
17. He dissed all Blacks. Called Obama “the first mainstream African-American who is articulate, bright and clean.”
18. Told an inaccurate war story.
19. He owns all of Obama’s failed policies and programs including giving Iran a billion in cash. He misused his office re the Chinese fiasco with his son and the Ukrainian fiasco with his son.
20. List his erratic responses and behaviors and Las Vegas heavy odds should now be that he is hopelessly lost in 2019.
21. Looking beyond primaries, most importantly for the past years since POTUS Trump took office, Joe and the democrats just spent 40 million on the Mueller report to no avail – no collusion with the Russians – no obstruction. Now Joe and Jerry Adler are up to their ears continuing a foolish and wasteful investigation.
22. All the while it was Hillary and Joe colluding with the Russians. It was Hillary obstructing justice. It was Joe obstructing justice. He and then POTUS Obama knew about the FISA warrant debacle and the fake dossier. The Adler democrat impeachment thrust is a smokescreen to cover up their bad acting.
23. But even if you were to forget all of the above and sweep it under the rug, please find me one democrat who has done anything to-date of great value to help us be free, safe, and prosperous and I will think about voting democrat.
BARREL, why is POTUS Trump polling far ahead of Joe or Bernie or any of the other democrat hopefuls? Are you interested in voting for Joe Biden?
I know the answer to your first question, PORK. POTUS Trump is polling far ahead of others because he has done and is doing something to help us be FREE, SAFE, and PROSPEROUS. Look at the media. POTUS Trump commands far more media attention than all of the democrat challengers. That is why I believe conventional polling will be found wanting and incorrect when push comes to shove.
And, PORK, I have 103 reasons not to vote for Joe Biden.
Then BARREL, who has a chance of beating POTUS Trump in 2020?
PORK, I follow the news regularly – Fox, Wall Street Journal, The Economist, Drudge, Breitbart, New York Times, CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, NBC, etc., and I have no interest whatsoever in voting for Joe.
I find the following negatives about Joe in the news in one form or another:
1. Joe is a gaffe disaster waiting to happen. His 1973 full audio has shown up with his “politicians are more virtuous than doctors,” his slavery joke, his woman joke, his self-praise repeatedly, his admission that he is a “phony liberal.”
2. He’s a career federal government politician.
3. Amy Lappos, the congressional aide accused him of inappropriately touching her.
4. He’s crinkled and ancient.
5. Anita Hill sexual harassment inquisition on his watch was a debacle.
6. He apologizes for mishandling things thereby admitting he mishandled things.
7. His apologies are too little too late.
8. Biden’s brother and the $1.5 billion government contract conflict of interest looms way too large.
9. Biden’s son, Hunter, joining the board of the Ukrainian gas producer conflict of interest looms way too large and insurmountable as well.
10. Biden’s son Hunter’s with the $billion from China intersects Joe’s political office conflict of interest according to Peter Sweizer.
11. He is big on paid speaking gigs.
12. He bragged about his role in policies that have devastated black communities.
13. Caitlyn Caruso is on record that he inappropriately touched her.
14. He can’t keep his hands off young girls.
15. His China conflicts are fatal.
16. He claimed he was a civil rights activist when he wasn’t.
17. Now he’s tied to a climate plan plagiarism “scandal.”
18. He had to know and thus was complicit in FISA surveillance of POTUS Trump. One news note says his National Security Advisor was present in the Oval office with Obama so Joe could be kept up to speed when the Russian narrative and surveillance and “take down of Trump” was discussed and furthered. From Isikoff and Corn new book: Susan Rice, Obama’s national security adviser, chaired the principals meeting, which the authors write included Kahl, who served as Biden’s national security adviser from October 2014 to January 2017. https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2019/06/06/book-joe-bidens-national-security-advisor-participated-in-secretive-early-russia-probe-meetings/
19. Joe was complicit in all of Obama’s failed policies. E.g. the health care debacle – the you can keep your own provider prevarication – the let’s give Iran multi-millions of dollars in small bills.
20. He apparently unsuccessfully considered running for president five times.
21. He carries the name Creepy Uncle Joe.
22. Creepy is a hard name to live down.
23. D.J. Hill is another woman who is on record accusing him.
24. He packs decades of old school negative political baggage.
25. He can’t point to anything of real value he did while he was Vice President – before or after.
26. He failed in his run for President in 1984.
27. He failed in his run for President in 1988.
28. He failed in his run for President in 2008.
29. The party just did not rise to the occasion and support him which tells me when push finally comes to shove Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer and the rest of the DNC and the party won’t do so this time either.
30. He now pushes the false narrative that he is “the most progressive candidate” which he is not.
31. Per Peter Sweizer, he is really just focused on money making ventures.
32. He can’t help drain the swamp and get rid of corruption in Washington because he is the inside player who is up to his elbows in the swamp of corruption in Washington.
33. He can’t fix the mess in Washington because he is the personification of the mess in Washington.
34. He can’t run on Obama’s legacy because Obama thinly if at all endorses him and besides Obama has a highly questionable legacy.
35. He failed relative to Iraq.
36. He failed relative to Libya Ben Ghazi.
37. One news account says he helped give us ISIS.
38. He did indeed given the fact that he helped Obama give the Iranians billions which they use to fund their military and fight us by sponsoring terrorism.
39. He is a repeat of the H. Clinton debacle.
40. He is an Iraq hawk guilty of spending trillions of our money down the middle east military industrial complex rat hole.
41. He is in the banking industry pockets.
42. He is old.
43. He is the Bill Clinton look alike although without the cigar.
44. He is the Democratic party run by and for white men.
45. He is the Hillary Clinton failed candidate.
46. He is the worst candidate for democrats.
47. He is too little too late when it comes to reinventing himself.
48. He keeps showing us pictures of himself when he was young as though he wants us to think of him as young when he is not.
49. He is uniquely ill-suited as a leader.
50. All this again because he symbolizes the old Democratic party.
51. One news source says he’s just another buckraker like the Clintons.
52. His contrived “will-he-won’t-he” announcement was a joke.
53. Again, his last presidential campaign crashed and burned.
54. His presidential campaign before that crashed and burned.
55. His promises are not worth much. Just look at:
56. His record on abortion – flip flopper – now he’s against – now he’s for – after criticism from Planned Parenthood — whatever will tease a vote.
57. His record on busing
58. His record on Blacks and civil liberties
59. His record on immigration
60. His record on mass incarceration
61. His record on war
62. He is the inappropriate touching Presidential candidate.
63. He is the insider veteran who is part of the problem not part of the solution.
64. He is the kissed senator’s teenage daughter on side of head
candidate who says I won’t do it again.
65. He misused his office by leaning on the Ukrainians to fire their top prosecutor just as their top prosecutor was set to investigate the gas company which included his son Hunter.
66. Lucy Flores is on record accusing him.
67. Through the years he has moaned about government spending yet has done nothing to curb it.
68. He can’t point to his past and say “I am a statesman.”
69. In fact, he has a muddy past.
70. He has a murky past.
71. He carries no future media $ value to Fox News, CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, NBC, Drudge, Breitbart, Infowars while POTUS Trump for or against is worth billions and billions to them.
72. He is not a fresh face.
73. He is not a reformer.
74. He simply is not inspiring.
75. He was not especially popular during Obama’s time in office.
76. He is one of the oldest candidates.
77. He is one of the worst candidates.
78. He is part of the deep establishment state.
79. He is that quintessential professional politician.
80. He has a questionable endorsement from Obama.
81. He is ridiculed for his many gaffes.
82. He is ridiculed for his political I’m going to beat Trump up machismo.
83. He is an out of touch with reality senior citizen.
84. He is a stereotypical old school Democrat.
85. There is nothing extraordinary about his career.
86. His Ukrainian conflicts are fatal.
87. His Chinese conflicts are fatal.
88. He is Uncle Joe.
89. He is uniquely ill-suited as a leader.
90. He used his office to enrich himself and his family.
91. He voted for NAFTA.
92. He voted for Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act which put an inordinate number of people of color in jails for drug-related offenses.
93. He voted to support the ill-conceived invasion of Iraq in 2002 that cost America untold treasure.
94. His voting record is discriminatory
95. He is best known for whispering in the ear of a senator’s teenage daughter.
96. It looks like he may be in bed with the DNC which is again seeking to marginalize Bernie.
97. He has no capacity to go toe to toe with the young candidates.
98. He has little capacity to keep us free.
99. He has little capacity to help keep us safe.
100. He has little capacity to help us be prosperous.
101. He is running on the tired, worn out, negative, wasteful Schumer and Pelosi platform of bashing POTUS Trump.
102. His thought about mediating between republicans and democrats and “calming the nation” is eyewash.
103. PORK, these above thoughts are the messages I am finding over and over in the media. I suppose you can argue “fake news.” I suppose you can argue “not true.” Regardless of true or false enough of them are true. Besides:
104. Joe has no chance of beating POTUS Trump because POTUS Trump is one of the few presidents who has kept his campaign promises. POTUS Trump has kept more than 300 of his campaign promises and it looks like POTUS Trump will even make serious progress on the wall despite the fact that the democrats have withheld funding and support for the wall.
105. My conclusion, PORK, is this.
106. Joe has no chance of beating POTUS Trump because Joe can’t point to one positive promise he has kept over his long career that helps us be free, safe, and prosperous today.
107. He has no chance of beating POTUS Trump because the media is making billions of dollars if not trillions collectively off the POTUS Trump gravy train. And they will continue to do so after POTUS Trump is reelected.
108. A number of these same thoughts apply to Bernie
as well.
109. BARREL, who then among democrats can beat POTUS Trump in 2020, BARREL?
110. Well, I’m not certain anyone can. But let’s at least look at the others in the democrat field.
111. PORK. I will narrow the field to my four picks.
112. I think the democrats need to take a hard look at Julian Castro, Kamala Harris, Jay Inslee, and Amy Klobuchar not in that order.
113. And of the four, BARREL?
114. I think the democrats will be well advised to field Jay Inslee for President with Amy Klobuchar or Julian Castro as Vice President.
115. The current list:
116. Michael Bennet.
117. Bill de Blasio
118. Cory Booker
119. Steve Bullock
120. Pete Buttigieg
121. Julian Castro
122. John Delaney
123. Tulsi Gabbard
124. Kirsten Gillibrand
125. Mike Gravel
126. Kamala Harris
127. John Hickenlooper
128. Jay Inslee
129. Amy Klobuchar
130. Wayne Messam
131. Seth Moulton
132. Beto O’Rourke
133. Tim Ryan
134. Bernie Sanders
135. Eric Swalwell
136. Elizabeth Warren
137. Bill Weld
138. Marianne Williamson
139. Andrew Yang
