Oh, the plot has thickened for 'Biden and company.' Squeaky clean Joe, working-class Joe that we supposedly all knew and loved is a lie. He’s a fraud. He’s just as corrupt as Hillary Clinton.
We can thank his son for exposing all the dirty laundry. That perpetual screw-up dropped off his MacBook at a repair shop in Wilmington, Delaware in April of 2019 and forgot to pick it up. After a 90-day period, it became the property of the owner of the shop, who made a copy of the hard drive and turned the laptop over to the FBI. A copy of the hard drive was given to Rudy Giuliani’s lawyer.
These emails are
just the tip of the iceberg and now we see that Hunter might have been into
child porn. At the very least, it’s quite off that scores of pictures of
underage girls were found on it. The former New York City mayor turned those images over to the Delaware State Police, but
there’s more.
Hunter’s former business partner has flipped. He gave
investigative reporter Peter Schweizer access to his Gmail account, which
detailed more sordid deals with Russia and China. And yes, Joe Biden is
involved with some of the pitches. This is a totally separate trove of emails
from the one on Hunter’s laptop (via The
Blaze):
When
Bevan Cooney — the former "junior" business partner to Hunter Biden
and Devon Archer — went to jail in 2019, investigative reporter and New York
Times bestselling author Peter Schweizer thought he'd never gain access to the
damning emails Cooney had promised. That all changed three weeks ago when
Schweizer was given complete access to Cooney's gmail account.
Schweizer
joined Glenn Beck on the radio program Tuesday to describe just some of the business
deals revealed within these emails — like Hunter working with an alleged
Russian criminal and with Chinese communists to secure their assets, or to
secure one-on-one time with his dad, then-Vice President Joe Biden. And all of
this new information is completely separate from the emails allegedly
discovered on Hunter Biden's laptop recently reported by the New York Post.
"So,
I want to make this clear. This [Cooney's emails] has nothing to do with what's
on the laptop … It didn't come from [Rudy] Giuliani. It didn't come from
anybody else, right?" Glenn asked Schweizer.
Backward reels the mind to when The New Yorker,
who is dealing with ‘masturbategate’ involving Jeffrey Toobin, wrote about
Hunter upsetting Joe’s 2020 ambitions. That is brutally coming to fruition. Of
course, a father’s love is unconditional. That still doesn’t mean Hunter is
royally screwing his dad right now—politically.

To All Those Biden Supporters Out There,
Here's the Bill He Wants to Leave Us as President
By Matt Vespa|Townhall.com
President Joe Biden will wreck the economy. Are we talking about another depression like Trump says on the stump? Probably not, but it’s not going to be pretty.
The Wall Street Journal editorial board looked at the
Biden agenda, analyzed its costs, and the conclusion is that this plan is only
good if you want Trump gone. That’s about it. There will be tax increases.
The thing about these Democrats wanting to only tax the
rich, you all know this, is that they have these big government programs that
everyone since the 1980s has known, will require taxes on the middle class and
the working poor. I credit Bernie Sanders for one thing: honesty. He admitted
that his single-payer, Medicare-for-All program would lead to tax increases. He
was unapologetic. Joe Biden thinks he can do everything on his economic menu by
just taxing those who make $400,000 or more. It’s laughable.
The Journal had a lengthier op-ed this time because they
know the liberal media will bury the details. They also said that the economy
is on the rebound and it’ll shoot up like a rocket ship once we have acquired a
COVID vaccine. For the past few weeks, Trump's message has been hitting Joe on
his socialist agenda items, his mental acuity, and the booming economy. It
writes itself. We’ve seen over 10 million new jobs in four months, half of the
jobs lost due to China’s incompetence in handling COVID. The president's
message is, "re-elect me and I’ll finish it." That should be the
unified GOP line.
With “Bidenomics,” we see a median household income drop
by $6,500 by 2030. So, let’s say Biden wins, Trump may be gone, but you’ll be
poorer and dealing with tax increases. Oh, and Biden will have to offer
something big to the green Left. It’ll probably increase the cost of American
families’ energy bills, for sure. That’s a double-whammy—and something that’s
especially lethal to the home budgets of fixed-income seniors (via WSJ):
The
issue is whether Mr. Biden’s policies will nurture this strong recovery, or
slow it down as Barack Obama’s policies did after the 2009 recession. This is
where the Hoover study comes in, as it examines the Democrat’s proposals on
health insurance, taxes, energy and regulation. The authors are economists
Timothy Fitzgerald, Kevin Hassett, Cody Kallen and Casey Mulligan. Messrs.
Hassett and Mulligan were members of the Council of Economic Advisers in the
Trump White House, but then the boosters of Bidenomics are veterans of the
Clinton-Obama Administrations.
Mr.
Hassett has done pioneering work on the impact of corporate taxation and Mr.
Mulligan of the University of Chicago on the impact of government subsidies
that raise the marginal tax-rate barriers as workers try to climb the economic
ladder. The 50-page Hoover study is valuable because it examines policies for
their incentive and supply-side effects, rather than merely macroeconomic
demand-side spending.
Overall,
the authors estimate that the Biden agenda, if fully implemented, would reduce
full-time equivalent employment per person by about 3%, the capital stock per
person by some 15%, and real GDP per capita by more than 8%. Compared to
Congressional Budget Office estimates for these variables in 2030, this means
there would be 4.9 million fewer working Americans, $2.6 trillion less in GDP,
and $6,500 less in median household income.
[…]
…consider
Mr. Biden’s expansion of the Affordable Care Act and Medicare for those above
age 60 (versus 65 now). These subsidies affect the incentive to work, and the
authors estimate the ACA changes would increase the average marginal tax rate
on labor by 2.4 percentage points. That’s nearly half as much as the six
percentage points from the original ACA, which is part of the explanation for
the agonizingly slow labor recovery in the Obama era.
Mr.
Biden is also proposing substantial increases in business tax rates that will
raise the cost of capital. The former Vice President likes to say he’d only
raise the top corporate tax rate to 28% from 21%. But so-called pass-through
entities (often small businesses) employ more than 40 million Americans, and
most pay taxes at the individual tax rate.
“Biden’s
plan to raise personal income and payroll tax rates would push their federal
rates from below 40 percent to, often, above 50 percent, and these are on top
of state income taxes,” the authors write.
[…]
There
is much more in the Hoover study, especially on the costs of returning to
Obama-style regulation. Most of the media will ignore it, which is why we
thought we’d provide readers with more than usual detail.
This Thursday is the last presidential debate. It’s high
noon. Trump should be aggressive, yes, but also allow the former VP to talk.
Joe will ramble and hang himself. When Trump responds, he should be
laser-focused on the policy, with digs that this is the reason, besides Hunter
Biden’s emails, that Joe hides in the basement.
Another way to put it is to let Biden place the noose
around his neck and have Trump pull the rope when he responds. It’ll take
patience and the president is going to have to deal with some of the lies
hurled against him, but let Joe talk. Let him trip over policy, get him loud
and clear that he wants to run away from defunding the police, the Green New
Deal, and Medicare for All—three issues that the far Left holds dear. Joe did
so in the first debate; Trump’s interruptions muddied it. There’s no doubt
Trump can wipe the floor with Joe…but maybe let Hidin’ Biden do the heavy
lifting in that area. Again, the former VP has diarrhea of the mouth, which is
why he’s been calling a lid before everyone has finished breakfast for the past
month or so.

Here's Hunter Biden Computer Repair
Receipt...That's How Much It Took to Cause Joe All of This 2020 Heartburn

Okay, so Hunter Biden is a disgraced screw-up who got rich off his daddy’s name and would be a dead broke loser if it weren’t for his father. I mean, I guess you could argue that he still a total loser, albeit one with money. Whatever the key fact here is that his laptop has unearthed the dirty deeds. You all know the story here, folks. There’s a reason Joe Biden got all huffy when asked about Hunter.
One, he knew his son is a screw-up. Second, his son is a screw-up who knows where all the bodies are buried. Not good for someone who is snorting cocaine like it’s going out of style.
The security of the family secrets was very tenuous, and this “laptop from hell” development is evidence of that. Joe Biden’s 2020 ambitions got stained because his son forgot to pay the $85 fee for the repairs.
That’s the cost of this fiasco engulfing
the Biden camp. It took less than $100 and a bad memory for Joe Biden’s veneer
of a working-class hero from Scranton to be shattered irreparably.

In these emails, Hunter refers to his father as the “big guy” regarding a massive business pitch to a Chinese energy firm. This reference is made regarding the equity arrangement.
At Burisma, a Ukrainian energy company where Hunter sat on the board making $50k/month, the former vice president was introduced to executives at the company. Hunter got this gig in 2014, around the time his father was heading up our policy efforts in Ukraine as well.
Wait, Joe said he knew nothing about Hunter’s business dealings. He also said there was no wrongdoing because he trusts his son.
Yeah, not the best line to use, Joe.
Burisma was also being investigated for corruption and its
executives were banking on Hunter’s connections to protect the company. That
happened. Joe Biden fired the prosecutor after threats to withhold aid from the
country. It’s painfully clear that? Hunter was there to sell access to then-top
Obama officials. It doesn’t get as unethical and swampy as this, huh?
…
Thank God for Hunter and his incompetence. None of this
would have come to light. He is the October surprise. He is a massive in-kind
contribution to Trump’s re-election effort.
