House Oversight Committee: Biden Committed Impeachable Offenses

The House Committee on Oversight and Accountability released a report Monday asserting that President Joe Biden engaged conduct worthy of impeachment. The committee, chaired by Representative James Comer (R- KY), states that the president has “participated in a conspiracy to monetize his office of public trust to enrich his family,” mishandled classified information, and engaged in the obstruction of justice in order to conceal the extent of his involvement in unsavory practices.

The 291-page reports lays out a series of questionable business dealings done by various members of the Biden family, including his brother James and his son Hunter, the object of which was securing the influence of Joe Biden’s name and position as vice president of the United States.

The transactions detailed by the report include interactions with a Kazakhstani oligarch, Russian and Romanian businessmen, the Ukrainian natural gas company Burisima, and various corporations tied to the Communist Party of China. It also alleges that former donors to Joe Biden’s campaign provided large loans on questionable terms to the Biden family.

The report further argues that during his presidency, Biden has “repeatedly evinced a hostility towards and unwillingness to cooperate with the House’s impeachment inquiry and Congress’s legislative oversight,” arguing that the administration has impeded the investigation of his activities and obstructed the carriage of justice.

The report concludes that there is sufficient evidence to impeach the president: “As both president and vice president, Joe Biden has abused his office of public trust, putting his family’s financial interests above the interests of the American people. Although the Committees’ fact-finding is ongoing amid President Biden’s obstruction, the evidence uncovered in the impeachment inquiry to date already amounts to impeachable conduct.”

Biden’s Convention Speech Made Absurd Claims About His Gaza Policy

An observation from George Orwell – “those who control the present, control the past and those who control the past control the future” – is acutely relevant to how President Biden talked about Gaza during his speech at the Democratic convention Monday night. His words fit into a messaging template now in its eleventh month, depicting the U.S. government as tirelessly seeking peace, while supplying the weapons and bombs that have enabled Israel’s continual slaughter of civilians.

“We’ll keep working, to bring hostages home, and end the war in Gaza, and bring peace and security to the Middle East,” Biden told the cheering delegates. “As you know, I wrote a peace treaty for Gaza. A few days ago I put forward a proposal that brought us closer to doing that than we’ve done since October 7th.”

It was a journey into an alternative universe of political guile from a president who just six days earlier had approved sending $20 billion worth of more weapons to Israel. Yet the Biden delegates in the convention hall responded with a crescendo of roaring admiration.

Applause swelled as Biden continued: “We’re working around-the-clock, my secretary of state, to prevent a wider war and reunite hostages with their families, and surge humanitarian health and food assistance into Gaza now, to end the civilian suffering of the Palestinian people and finally, finally, finally deliver a ceasefire and end this war.”

In Chicago’s United Center, the president basked in adulation while claiming to be a peacemaker despite a record of literally making possible the methodical massacres of tens of thousands of Palestinian civilians.

Orwell would have understood. A political reflex has been in motion from top U.S. leaders, claiming to be peace seekers while aiding and abetting the slaughter. Normalizing deception about the past sets a pattern for perpetrating such deception in the future.

Report: Biden Administration Rushes Digital ID Plans

The Biden administration is working to expedite widespread adoption of digital IDs, including driver’s licenses, a draft executive order indicates.

Digital IDs are a contentious concept primarily because of the concentration of – eventually – the entirety of people’s sensitive private information in centralized databases controlled by the government, and on people’s phones, “client-side.”

That in turn brings up the issues of technical security, but also privacy, and the potential for dystopian-style mass surveillance.

Proponents, on the other hand, like to focus on the “convenience” that such a shift from physical to digital personal documents is promised to bring.

In the US, some states have started this process via digital driver’s licenses, and the executive order is urging (“strongly encouraging”) both federal and state authorities to accelerate this, as well as other types of digital ID.

Where this policy seems to be converging to is coming up, at long last, with a functional way to carry out online identity verification. Namely, digital ID would be combined with biometric data obtained through facial recognition, and other forms of biometrics harvesting.

Centralization of data – opponents say to better control it, even if that makes it less secure – is a key component of these schemes, and so the Biden executive order speaks about making it obligatory for federal agencies to join “a single government-run identity system, Login.gov,” reports say.

Biden family and associates made $27M from foreign business after boosts from Joe Biden: Impeachment report

The Republican-led House unveiled findings from its yearlong impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden on Monday, concluding that the president’s family and business associates raked in more than $27 million through foreign business deals in recent years.

In a 291-page report, a trio of House committees found that Biden committed impeachable offenses, including abuse of power, by mingling with his son Hunter’s and brother James’s foreign business partners while he was vice president.

The House Oversight, Ways and Means, and Judiciary committees, which have led the inquiry, said that after more than two dozen interviews, six hearings, and a review of millions of pages of documents, they found that the Biden family participated in a “global influence peddling racket” with Biden’s “full knowledge and cooperation.”

Humiliating Mistakes Quickly Spotted as Democrats Release 2024 Platform: ‘They’re Accidentally Telling the Truth’

Vice President Kamala Harris is a cut-and-paste nominee. If you’ve ever questioned it, you needn’t do so any longer.

The Democrats confirmed it through several humiliating mistakes found in their 2024 platform for the Democratic National Convention.

In short: Simply expect more of the same. The familiarly odious platform will be voted on this week during the Democratic convention.

At least five references in the platform identified President Joe Biden as the Democratic party’s 2024 presidential candidate in the document. The lack of astute editing became the tell-all component of the forced switch from Biden to Harris. Harris was obviously inserted when Biden gave in to his hastily orchestrated exit.

Senior editor of The Federalist, John Daniel Davidson, shed light on the truth shared accidentally in a comment on social media platform X, when he re-posted some choice screen shots from reporter Greg Price.

“They’re accidentally telling the truth here,” he posted to X. “A Harris administration would simply be a second Biden term, which in fact would be rule by the deep state/administrative bureaucracy that has been running the country since Biden took office as an empty figurehead.”

Joe Biden won’t tell the truth about his Iraq war record — and he hasn’t for years

It may fit with official agendas to focus on the dispute between Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren at this week’s Democratic primary debate. At least partly, that’s because it lets former Vice President Joe Biden off the hook on Iraq, just as there is finally some attention to foreign policy. People hear the word “mistake” and want it to end there, but Biden’s actual position on the Iraq invasion is indefensible. Biden and his surrogates, such as former Secretary of State John Kerry, continue to claim that he did not favor the 2003 invasion of Iraq. This is false.

Sen. Bernie Sanders’ camp has just highlighted a video of Biden speaking at the Brookings Institution in July 2003, after the invasion, in which he expresses support for “finishing this job” in Iraq and says: “The president of the United States is a bold leader and he is popular.” [That video link from David Sirota on Twitter no longer exists, but that clip is currently here.]

As far as showing Biden’s support for the war, that video is the tip of the iceberg.

In that address to Brookings (video) Biden makes brazen pro-war falsehoods, claiming that Saddam Hussein “violated every commitment that he made. He played cat and mouse with the weapons inspectors. He failed to account for the huge gaps in weapons declarations that were documented by UN weapons inspectors and submitted by them to the UN Security Council in 1998, and every nation in that Council believed he possessed those weapons at that time. He refused to abide by any conditions.”

Thanks To The Cost Of Living Crisis, U.S. Household Debt Has Soared To The Highest Level Ever Recorded

Our entire economy is fueled by debt.  In fact, if going into more debt was suddenly banned the U.S. economy would instantly hit a brick wall.  For the vast majority of us, our lifestyles simply cannot be funded by what we actually make.  So we use debt to bridge the difference, and this has particularly been true during the cost of living crisis.  Total household debt has now reached a grand total of 17.8 trillion dollars, and we continue to pile up more with no end in sight…

A quarterly report published this month by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York on household credit and debt found that between the first quarter of 2021 and the second quarter of 2024, credit card debt surged 48.1% while household debt — which includes mortgages and auto loans — rose by 21.6%.

In dollar terms, credit card debt rose from $770 billion in early 2021 to $1.14 trillion in the most recent quarter, while household debt increased from $14.64 trillion to $17.8 trillion in the same period.

I did not realize that credit card debt had risen by more than 48 percent since the first quarter of 2021.

That is extremely alarming, because it indicates that millions upon millions of households are literally living on the edge of financial disaster.

And the fact that delinquency rates have been climbing just underscores how serious things have become…

People Walk Out Of Half Empty High School Gym As Biden Speaks

Joe Biden appeared with Kamala Harris Thursday for the first time since she was installed as his replacement in a coup he stepped down from the presidential race, but the pair could not fill a high school gym, and people began walking out when Biden started speaking.

The stage was set up in the corner of the gym at Prince George’s County Community College in Maryland.

But wait, Harris can fill stadiums now, right? Wrong.

Harris delivered her word salad for a bit, then Biden shuffled up to the podium and began randomly screaming, slurring and stuttering gibberish.

“Price Gouging”: Basic Groceries Cost 21% More… Because of Biden-Harris Regime Policies

Amid reports that Kamala Harris will announce her first policy position on Friday – an attack on “greedy” grocery companies with a plan for price limits – there’s bad news for American consumers about their grocery costs.

Harris’s plan, reported by multiple outlets on Thursday, said her idea is to pursue a “price control” scheme, a tactic that repressive governments often pursue to try to make their economies look better.

It is the Post-Millennial that documented, “Americans are experiencing the consequences of increased grocery prices under the economic policies of the Biden-Harris administration. The cost of food has not been this high since the Carter administration.”

The report said the cost for “basic,” “food at home” products is up 21% since Biden and Harris took over the White House.

Inflation also remains a top concern among voters this election year, with 77% seeing it as a “very important issue.”

“Grocery prices have risen significantly under Harris’s time in the White House, despite the White House’s attempts to minimize the impact of recent price increases. Harris was instrumental in the legislative agenda that resulted in this outcome. Her tie-breaking votes in the Senate were instrumental in the passage of trillions of dollars in expenditure, which many economists believe contributed to the inflation crisis, Breitbart News reported.”

Former Trump Advisor Says FBI Raided His Home This Week Because He Criticized Biden’s Ukraine Policy

The FBI earlier this week raided the home of Dimitri Simes, a Russian-born policy analyst who advised Trump in 2016.

Dimitri Simes, who has been living and working in Russia since October 2022, said his Virginia home was raided because he spoke out against the Deep State and criticized Biden’s Ukraine policy.

The raid “clearly is an attempt to intimidate, not only somebody from Russia, but just anyone who goes against official policies and particularly against the deep state,” Simes told Sputnik News.

“My suspicion is that instead of trying to get me to come to the United States and to interrogate me — or even to arrest me — their real purpose is to make sure that I would not come back,” said Simes.

The bank account Simes uses to pay the mortgage on the home was also frozen.
