Joe Biden’s Sister Says ‘Trump is a Bully’ Who Former VP Will Stand Up to

September 16, 2019 by www.newsweek.com Leave a Comment

Joe Biden’s sister, Valerie Biden Owens, has called President Trump a “bully,” before adding that her brother, the former Vice President and 2020 Democratic candidate, “has been standing up to bullies his entire life.”

Not that you would be able to tell today, but 76-year-old Biden spent much of his childhood struggling to overcome a debilitating stutter, a condition that affects roughly 3 million Americans and 5 to 10 percent of children at some point in their life. The speech impediment is a challenge the presidential hopeful has described as the “single most defining thing” in his life.

Speaking about overcoming his stutter as a child in the Los Angeles Times , Owens said that Biden’s ordeal has made him both more compassionate to others and better equipped to face being taunted by others, such as Donald Trump.

“Trump is a bully, and Joe has been standing up to bullies his entire life,” she said. “Joe’s stuttering, I think, is one of the principal reasons — a major, major, major reason — that he is the good and compassionate and kind man that he is.”

The President has called the current 2020 Democratic frontrunner a number of insults in recent months, including “dummy,” “loser” and saying that he’d rather run against Biden because “he’s the weakest mentally.”

Biden, in return, has labelled Trump an “existential threat to America.”

“This is a guy who does everything to separate and frighten people,” Biden said in a speech back in July.

The graph below, provided by Statista , shows the poll ratings of President Trump against the current top Democratic challengers in 2020.

How Biden got over his childhood stutter

Like 75 percent of children who stutter at some time in their lives, Biden recovered, using techniques put forward by teachers. One method, as an example, involved reciting poetry in front of a mirror. The purpose of the mirror in this case is to allow the individual to track (and control) any facial distortions that might contribute to the stuttering.

But this childhood struggle may have made the former Vice President a better politician, Biden himself has suggested in the past.

“It teaches you to be extemporaneous. It teaches you to memorize and anticipate,” Biden said in 2016, adding that it can help you focus on “what the other person is made of” and “what might be on their mind”.

“It’s an incredible asset in my business,” he said.

While Biden may have overcome his stutter, it hasn’t prevented the current president using it as a political point scoring card. In March, Trump hit out at Biden on Twitter , calling him “tongue tied”

“Joe Biden got tongue tied over the weekend when he was unable to properly deliver a very simple line about his decision to run for President. Get used to it, another low I.Q. individual!” Trump tweeted.

It may be this type of behavior that reminded Biden of childhood bullies in a July interview with CNN , during which he laughed off the idea that he would be intimidated by Trump. Speaking to Chris Cuomo, Biden described Trump as “the bully that I knew my whole life. He’s the bully that I’ve always stood up to. He’s the bully that used to make fun when I was a kid that I stutter, and I’d smack him in the mouth.”

James Woods Blasts the Joe Biden ‘Border Tsunami Nightmare’

September 28, 2023 by www.breitbart.com Leave a Comment

Hollywood star James Woods went for Joe Biden’s throat in a Wednesday post blasting Joe Biden’s dangerous crisis at the southern border.

The famously conservative actor slammed the president with an X post reading, “Biden’s border tsunami is beyond a nightmare.”

Woods’ comment came in reply to a press conference by Alabama’s Republican U.S. Senator Katie Britt who was seen excoriating Biden’s immigration failures and blasting the media for refusing to report on it all.

Britt spoke about her recent trip to the border where she met and talked to illegal immigrants who face extreme peril and death in their attempt to walk through Joe Biden’s wide open border.

“We walked through and we got to hear women tell us their stories,” Sen. Britt said of her visit to the border, “and their stories are brutalizing.”

She then blasted the press to their faces, for ignoring these horrendous stories of what these illegals go through. “That’s on you,” she said pointing accusingly at the press in the room.

“Because when a woman sits there and she tells you a story not about just being raped,” Britt continued, directly addressing the media before her, “but how many times a day she’s raped. When she tells you about having to lay that bed, while they come in and out, and in and out, it’s disgusting and it’s despicable.”

“Folks, you look at the number of people that have died at the border because Joe Biden has made it more and more enticing to come here,” she said. “Make no mistake, this is a result of failed policy. We can fix this. We can’t throw money at this and fix it. We have to actually change the policy.”

“I looked in the eyes of CBP agents who said ‘We’re exhausted. We’re not only having to be paper-pushers, we’re also trying to do what we took an oath of office to do, and that is protect this border,’” she continued. “But when they tell you about finding small children who had drowned in that river, or pulling the lifeless body of a woman who was pregnant with twins, it changes the way you think about what’s happening.”

“Drug cartel, guys, they have the tentacles all over this country. We need you to start telling that story,” Britt added in a plea to the news-avoiding media .

“They will tell you exactly how much they paid to get here,” Britt said of the migrants she met, “then they’ll tell you where they’re going, what their job’s going to be, and how much more they owe. Got it? And guess what? Just the other day in Alabama a gentleman told me, ‘You will come back here with me in this neighborhood right behind you, you will see migrants who are here illegally, and they will tell you about the drug cartels coming around every other week to collect.”

“Guys, that’s not the American dream,” Britt concluded. “That’s an American nightmare.”

Woods, who last year noted that if you “scratch a liberal you will find a fascist every time,” and Alabama Sen. Britt are 100 percent correct. Joe Biden has created a nightmare for illegals who are beaten, raped, forced to carry illegal drugs, and then forced into a potential lifetime of servitude to the drug cartels just to get a chance to walk across our southern border in violation of our immigration laws.

Donald J. Trump for President 2024

In March, for instance, the group Doctors Without Borders identified the sexual violence that illegals face on the way to our border as widespread and endemic.

While solid numbers are very difficult to compute, in 2017, the group felt up to 32 percent of illegals women are raped on their way to the USA. Today, with the ubiquity of the control the cartels have over the trek, it may be even worse.

Woods is on point when he pins this wave of sexual abuse, rapes, torture, enslavement, and violence on Joe Biden. His open door policies have created a hell on earth for millions of economic migrants desperately trying to come to the U.S.A.

Hunter Told CNN He Expected Less Attention After Joe Biden Elected

September 28, 2023 by www.breitbart.com Leave a Comment

Hunter Biden emailed a CNN producer after Joe Biden became president to share his initial expectation that allegations of wrongdoing would “go away” when his dad assumed office, the House Ways and Means Committee revealed Tuesday.

“Producer has an email from Hunter saying he expected all of this ‘stuff’ to go away when his dad becomes President,” an email dated September 22, 2021, and obtained by the committee, says.

“Producer said he is aware that a plea deal has been offered to Hunter but Hunter is not willing to accept it,” the email continued.

“Producer is aware of a witness who was recently interviewed by our agents and FBI in Delaware. Witness told producer that he was under the impression that they were wrapping things up and just had a few basic questions to ‘put a bow on the investigation,’” the email said.

The email came about three years after now-special counsel David Weiss launched his investigation into Hunter Biden for tax, gun, and FARA violations. According to the New York Times , the DOJ planned to let Hunter Biden off the hook without charges until IRS whistleblowers came forward in April. Months later, in June, the committee released IRS whistleblower allegations that reportedly caused now-special counsel David Weiss to enter into a sweetheart plea deal with Hunter Biden.

The IRS whistleblowers alleged that Assistant U.S. Attorney Lesley Wolf refused to allow investigators to ask about Joe Biden being “the big guy,” that the DOJ twice prevented Weiss from bringing stronger charges against Hunter Biden, that Attorney General Merrick Garland refused to name a special counsel in the tax investigation, and that the IRS recommended charges against Hunter Biden that were not approved by Garland. IRS agent whistleblowers also told Congress that Hunter Biden failed to pay $125,000 in taxes from income received from Burisma Holdings — all while Joe Biden, upon assuming office, supercharged the IRS to catch tax cheats.

A document released Wednesday by the committee also shows Wolf ordering investigators in August 2020 to remove any reference to “Political Figure 1” from a search warrant. A document subsequently released showed that President Biden is “Political Figure 1.”

“As a priority, someone needs to redraft attachment B,” Wolf wrote in an email. “I am not sure what this is cut and pasted from but other than the attribution location, and identity stuff at the end, none of it is appropriate and within the scope of this warrant.”

The new revelations came as the House Oversight Committee, chaired by James Comer (R-KY), held its first impeachment inquiry hearing. “At least ten times, Joe Biden lied to the American people that he never spoke to his family about their business dealings,” Comer said in his opening statement.

“He lied by telling the American people that there was an “absolute wall” between his official government duties and his personal life,” he added. “Let’s be clear: there was no wall. The door was wide open to those who purchased what a business associate described as “The Biden Brand.”

Republicans placing government shutdown blame on Joe Biden and the border

September 28, 2023 by www.newsweek.com Leave a Comment

The federal government will likely shut down in three days, and so far, Congress cannot agree on future spending levels or find the votes needed to pass a short-term extension.

At the center of this turmoil is Speaker Kevin McCarthy who, unlike Senate leaders, has largely refused to pass spending bills in a bipartisan manner. With Republicans controlling the House by a slim margin, McCarthy cannot lose more than five votes, and some of his own conservatives have shown little desire to compromise when legislation does not meet all of their desires.

Aware of the blame Republicans have faced for past government shutdowns, McCarthy and other Republicans have taken to blaming President Joe Biden for a potential shutdown, ignoring the fact that funding the government is a congressional responsibility.

On Tuesday, when asked whether there’d be a shutdown, McCarthy said, “I don’t know. Ask President Biden.” He later doubled down on the position saying, “The president can keep government open by getting something on the border.”

The Senate aims to pass a “continued resolution” (CR) that would push back the shutdown deadline by extending government funding at its current levels while also extending funding for the Ukraine conflict. Nearly half of House Republicans oppose supporting Ukraine and instead want to see funding for the border included in their CR.

However, the border provisions Republicans want have not seen bipartisan support and are unlikely to pass the Senate. If the two chambers cannot come to an agreement the government will shut down. Since McCarthy made his remarks, GOP leaders have ramped up this message.

When asked how much blame he believes the president deserves for a potential government shutdown, Texas Congressman Chip Roy, policy chair of the hard-right Freedom Caucus, said “pretty much all of it” because he’s “utterly failed to do his job to secure the border.”

Florida Congressman Byron Donalds, a rising star within the Freedom Caucus who gained national notoriety after being nominated for speaker when conservatives were looking for a McCarthy alternative, echoed Roy’s stance. He dismissed potential Senate opposition.

“I’ve been very clear that the government should not continue to be funded if our border is not secure,” Donalds told Newsweek . “We’ve passed a border security bill. The Senate has not talked about it. They’ve not debated it. They’ve not said, ‘Hey, let’s come up with our own and send it back to the house.’ They’ve not done anything. They’ve basically fiddled while the border burns.”

The border remains a political vulnerability for the White House as migrant encounters at the southwest border reached the fifth highest level seen over the course of the Biden presidency, with U.S. Customs and Border Protection reporting nearly 233,000 encounters .

Despite this, it remains to be seen whether voters will link this situation to a potential government shutdown and hold the president responsible.

A poll released Wednesday by Monmouth University found that if the government shuts down, 27 percent of Americans will blame Biden, 43 percent will blame Congressional Republicans, while 21 percent will blame Congressional Democrats .

House Democrats find the notion of the president being to blame laughable. New York Congressman Jamaal Bowman , an outspoken member of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, laughed when asked to respond to McCarthy’s comments.

“Speaker McCarthy is the ultimate example of a weak leader; a weak leader never holds themselves accountable—they always point fingers at someone else,” Bowman told Newsweek . “What’s most disappointing and unfortunate is we continue to display a fractured government that can’t get things done under his leadership.”

Illinois Congressman Chuy Garcia, also a member of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, similarly sees the GOP’s border rhetoric as a desperate move. He expressed frustration that the situation has even materialized, given that McCarthy and Biden struck a deal on spending levels following spring debt limit negotiations.

He said that McCarthy’s reneging of the deal, fueled by demands from his conservative flank to cut spending, represents a failure of leadership, and he believes the border is being used as a weapon of convenience to deflect the pressure Republicans are facing.

“What’s your word worth if your signature doesn’t mean anything?” Garcia told Newsweek . “They empowered their leader to enter into an agreement with the president during the debt ceiling negotiations, and they should live by it.”

“The border is being used as a weapon,” he added. “It’s a distortion. They’ve always blocked immigration reform.”

Docs: DOJ Investigators Ordered to ‘Remove Any Reference’ to Joe Biden

September 28, 2023 by www.breitbart.com Leave a Comment

An email released Wednesday by the House Ways and Means Committee shows Assistant U.S. Attorney Lesley Wolf ordered investigators in August 2020 to remove any reference to “Political Figure 1” from a search warrant. A document subsequently released showed that President Joe Biden is “Political Figure 1.”

“As a priority, someone needs to redraft attachment B,” Wolf wrote in an email. “I am not sure what this is cut and pasted from but other than the attribution location, and identity stuff at the end, none of it is appropriate and within the scope of this warrant.”

“Please focus on FARA [Foreign Agents Registration Act] evidence only. There should be nothing about Political Figure 1 in here,” she added.

A second document the committee released Wednesday showed “Political Figure 1” is “Former Vice President Joseph Robinette Biden Jr.”

The document says:

VP BIDEN is currently the Democratic Party Presidential candidate for the United States and served as the 47th officeholder for the position of the Office of the Vice President of the United States (VPOTUS) in the Barack Obama Administration from January 20, 2009 to January 20, 2017. He is the father of SUBJECT 1.

House Ways and Means Committee

The documents were made public after the committee voted to approve more disclosures from IRS whistleblowers. Wolf is at the center of additional allegations levied by IRS whistleblowers.

The committee also released information from a May 2021 report generated by IRS investigators that noted Hunter Biden’s lawyer, Kevin Morris, could have committed campaign finance violations — which Wolf told investigators to ignore. “There may be campaign finance criminal violations based on interviews and a review of the evidence,” Wolf allegedly stated. But a Department of Justice (DOJ) official told the investigators to ignore the allegation, noting she was not “personally interested,” IRS whistleblower handwritten notes show:

House Ways and Means Committee

IRS whistleblowers also alleged Wolf refused to allow investigators to ask about Joe Biden being “the big guy” and that the DOJ twice prevented Weiss from bringing stronger charges against Hunter Biden.

The recent revelations come as House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-KY) held the first impeachment inquiry hearing. “At least ten times, Joe Biden lied to the American people that he never spoke to his family about their business dealings,” Comer said in his opening statement.
“He lied by telling the American people that there was an “absolute wall” between his official government duties and his personal life,” he added. “Let’s be clear: there was no wall. The door was wide open to those who purchased what a business associate described as the ‘Biden Brand.’ ”
