DOJ Only Now Surveilling Hunter Biden

By Kevin Jackson


Why did it take this long?

In what seems obvious to the world, Hunter Biden is a criminal. The man has been seen on camera using crack, cavorting with prostitutes, and involving himself with shady characters.


The obvious question is, “What took so long for the DOJ to start surveilling Hunter Biden? The man is a ticking timebomb with ties to Russia, China, and Ukraine. And that’s just for starters.

Hunter Biden has not one, but two laptops floating around with incriminating information on them. And almost daily we learn of new highly incriminating evidence against the Bidens.

Hunter Biden himself revealed undeniable ties to Russia.

In one very publicized case Hunter received $3.5 million from the wife of a Russian oligarch. Who knows what Hunter did to get that kind of coin from the wife of some bad dudes. But as we know of Hunter by now, there is no low to which he won’t stoop.

In his own words, Hunter Biden admits being in partnership with the top China spy. And let’s not forget “the big guy” who was to get his cut.

Finally, we know of Hunter Biden’s dealings with Ukraine where he was paid millions of dollars. Millions of dollars for knowing absolutely nothing except how to connect people with “the big guy” and get everybody paid.

That was what we knew before the discovery of the laptops. Now we know much more.

For example, we now know that Joe Biden knew of Hunter Biden’s business dealings. And despite the subterfuge by the media and Biden minions, we know that Joe Biden is “the big guy” referenced by Hunter Biden.

Again, revelations that amount to a chip on the iceberg.

We have the crackhead son of a fake president with ties to America’s enemies running around the world unchecked? At the very least, warn prostitutes.

You can bet that if this were a Trump kid, he or she would be under continual surveillance. And Adam Schiff would have a pipeline to the media where he would reveal the sordid details. But because this involves a Democrat’s crackhead son, we get nothing.

The silence from the left is deafening; but not surprising.

Suspicious activity reports on Hunter Biden's business dealings must be released, says Rep. Comer

Kentucky Republican says White House, Dems blocking Treasury Dept from releasing financial records

Kentucky congressman James Comer (R) joined "Fox & Friends First" Thursday to address his efforts to obtain suspicious foreign business transactions on Hunter Biden and slams the White House and Democrats for refusing to release the information. 

JAMES COMER: To put this into perspective, a suspicious activity report was put into place when George Bush was president after September 11th to try to catch money laundering into terrorist cells in the United States. A suspicious activity report is a very serious banking violation. Hunter Biden and Joe Biden's brother, Jim, have had over 150 suspicious activity reports when Bush was president and through Obama, Clinton, Bush, any member of Congress could request from Treasury a list of suspicious activity reports in their congressional districts and in their states. When Joe Biden became president and this is before it became public knowledge that Hunter had these suspicious activity reports, he, in the dark of night, changed it to where Congress could no longer access that from Treasury. Now, we have formally requested the suspicious activity report on Hunter Biden and the White House will not allow us to have it unless the Democrats sign on to the request.

INSIDE THE BIDEN FAMILY

By Scott Johnson | POWERLINE


The New York Post’s Maureen Callahan takes a look inside President Biden’s immediate family in the column “Bidens are as dysfunctional as the Kennedys — and protected by the press.” Today Callahan’s column can be supplemented with Emily Crane’s New York Post story “Hunter Biden reportedly called Jill an ‘entitled c–t’ in texts.”

For her column Callahan draws mostly on Ashley Biden’s diary. With a little help from the Biden Department of Justice the FBI is out to make someone — i.e., James O’Keefe — pay for the disclosure of Ashley Biden’s diary.

Callahan does a good job compiling the evidence from a variety of sources, including Hunter Biden’s public ruminations as well as Hunter Biden’s laptop from hell. With a little help from the national security establishment, Joe Biden condemned the laptop as Russian disinformation and now refuses further comment.

The contents of the laptop reveal the modus operandi of the corrupt Biden family business. The contents of the diary reveal the modus operandi of the family. Neither bears much scrutiny without profound disquiet and therefore neither has received much scrutiny from the mainstream media — another point made by Callahan. She frames a question near the top of her column:

President Biden’s adult children share a strange habit of leaving their most intimate communications, thoughts and confessions where anybody can find them. Hunter hasn’t denied the laptop is his; Ashley hasn’t denied the diary is hers.

So why isn’t the media treating their contents as newsworthy?

Which raises the question what the MSM would do with it all if we were talking about the Trump family. We know what they did with the Russia hoax, a monumental fraud from beginning to end that became evident upon the publication of the Steele Dossier at the latest. I find it hard to imagine, but I don’t think Trump would have served out his four-year term in office.

Biden Depleting Strategic Petroleum Reserves, Sending Oil Overseas To Hunter-linked, Chinese Company

By Walt Rasinger

Joe Biden has been sending oil from America’s Strategic Petroleum Reserve overseas despite the United States facing the highest gasoline prices ever. Earlier in the year, the president released oil from the reserves to counter soaring costs, partly caused by his refusal to boost domestic oil production. The White House first released 60 million barrels on March 1, which “coincided with similar releases from other countries.”

Things have only gotten worse, and the strategic reserve is shrinking at an alarming rate. Bloomberg writes, “If Washington sticks to its current pace, the reserve will shrink to a 40-year low of 358 million barrels by the end of October, when the releases are due to stop. A year ago, the SPR, located in four caverns in Texas and Louisiana, contained 621 million barrels. As the oil market looks today, it’s difficult to see how Washington can halt sales in October. Removing that additional supply would mean commercial inventories quickly deplete, putting upward pressure on oil prices.”

Reuters is reporting that “more than 5 million barrels of oil that were part of a historic U.S. emergency reserves release to lower domestic fuel prices were exported to Europe and Asia last month, according to data and sources, even as U.S. gasoline and diesel prices hit record highs.

The export of crude and fuel is blunting the impact of the moves by U.S. President Joe Biden to lower record pump prices. Biden on Saturday renewed a call for gasoline suppliers to cut their prices, drawing criticism from Amazon founder Jeff Bezos.

Cargoes of SPR crude were also headed to the Netherlands and to a Reliance refinery in India, an industry source said. A third cargo headed to China, another source said.”

NPR has labeled Biden’s actions with the Strategic Petroleum Reserve as “unprecedented.”  

A White House advisor recently said that the high prices at the pump was the cost of “liberal world order” stemming from defending Ukraine from the Russian invasion. 

Apparently, another cost associated with this liberal world order is sending our strategic reserves to communist China, where “more than one million Uighur and other Muslim minorities are forcibly held in mass detention camps in the Xinjian province where they face countless human rights abuses from forced labor, coerced sterilization, and destruction of their culture and religious identity.” 

More seems to be at play, and, of course, the president’s corrupt son, who has claimed to be one of the president’s advisors, is involved. The Washington Free Beacon is reporting that nearly a million barrels from the strategic reserve were sent to a Chinese oil company connected to Hunter Biden. 

The newspaper wrote: Biden’s Energy Department in April announced the sale of 950,000 Strategic Petroleum Reserve barrels to Unipec, the trading arm of the China Petrochemical Corporation. That company, which is commonly known as Sinopec, is wholly owned by the Chinese government. The Biden administration claimed the move would “address the pain Americans are feeling at the pump” and “help lower energy costs.”

Power the Future founder Daniel Turner admonished Biden for selling “raw materials to the Communist Chinese for them to use as they want.”

“We were assured Biden was releasing this oil to America so it could be refined for gasoline to drive down prices at the pump. So right off the bat, they’re just lying to the American people,” Turner told the Washington Free Beacon. “What they’re saying they did and what they did are not remotely related.”

Turner also said the decision highlights the Biden family’s “relationship with China.” Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, is tied to Sinopec. In 2015, a private equity firm he cofounded bought a $1.7 billion stake in Sinopec Marketing. Sinopec went on to enter negotiations to purchase Gazprom in March, one month after the Biden administration sanctioned the Russian gas giant.

Nearly 1 million barrels a day have been released from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, and it will continue through the fall. Our reserves have been drained to the lowest point since 1986, when we used significantly less oil. 

According to AAA, the national average for the price of gas is just over $4.72, roughly 50 percent more than we paid a year ago. California comes in with the most ridiculous gas prices. The Golden State pays over $6.18 a gallon. (Not that Governor Gavin Newsom cares. When not spending time in Montana–a state he has banned public employees from visiting –he’s been focused on attacking Florida. A gallon of gas in the Sunshine State is under $4.50.) 

According to the New York Post, “While the price of gas has fallen by as much as 15 cents in the last three weeks in some states, AAA is warning that the relief is short-lived as Americans gear up for peak driving season in July, which will likely put a further strain on limited supply.

Biden’s selling of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to foreign countries sparked an outcry from conservatives. Donald Trump, Jr. tweeted, “Un-freaked-believable. We sent 5,000,000 barrels of oil to Europe from our strategic oil reserves with prices through the roof for Americans. 

At this point it’s hard to assume Democrats are doing anything other than purposefully destroying our country!” 

Fox Host Tucker Carlson called for impeachment, saying, “So, as gas prices set records in this country, as American citizens who were born here and vote and pay taxes cannot afford to fuel their own cars, the Biden administration is selling off our emergency oil reserves to China. That’s not an indictable offense? It’s certainly an impeachable one and they should impeach him for that. What are they going to sell the Redwood Forest to China next? How about the water rights to the Great Lakes? That’s the equivalent of what he just did.”

Carlson argued that China did not “even need it” because they, along with India, “already have access to very cheap oil from Russia” due to the Western embargo following Putin’s invasion of Ukraine.    

The Biden administration recently floated the idea to allow Russian oil back onto the world market, but with its price capped, which according to Axios, is “something officials view as essential to preventing a catastrophic price surge.” 

The New York Times described this plan in disturbing terms, writing, “President Biden is leading an effort to manipulate the oil market at a scale the world has rarely seen, embracing cartel-like tactics in an aggressive but risky attempt to undermine Russia’s war effort in Ukraine.” 

The newspaper called the idea “nowhere near fully baked” and experts expect it to potentially make things worse: “Mr. Putin could decide it would be more lucrative to cap some Russian wells, pulling a million barrels a day or more off the world market, creating a shortage that would cause prices to spike even further.”

Anything seems better than selling away our rainy day fund to line the pockets of Hunter Biden and his pals, though.
