It’s Really Dumb To Take Pictures When You Are Doing Something Questionable

Posted on by

President Biden has granted his son Hunter a blanket pardon to cover the past ten years or so. President Biden has also claimed that he never had any involvement in his son’s business dealings. The millions of dollars that came into the Biden family during his time as Vice-President and President had nothing to do with Joe Biden he says. If you want to believe that, that’s fine, but some pictures have recently surfaced that you might want to take a look at.

On Wednesday, Just the News reported the following:

The National Archives has released photos of Hunter and Joe Biden meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping and other Chinese high-ranking officials in 2013 during the Obama-Biden administration. 

The photos were obtained by the conservative legal foundation, America First Legal.

The president had long insisted that he never had any involvement in Hunter’s business dealings.

In another photo, Biden is seen presenting Hunter to then-Vice President Li Yuanchao, according to Newsweek. The photos include instances in which Joe Biden is pictured with Hunter’s business associates from BHR Partners, including Jonathan Li and Ming Xue. 

The newly surfaced images take on added significance in light of the full and unconditional pardon on Dec. 1 that Biden granted his son after insisting he would not do so. 

The pardon not only covered the offenses that Hunter was convicted of, namely illegally obtaining a firearm and failing to pay over $1.4 million in taxes between 2016 and 2019, but also any other “offenses against the United States which he has committed or may have committed or taken part in during the period from January 1, 2014 through December 1, 2024,” according to Newsweek.

Michael Ding, America First Legal Counsel, said: “Even while President Biden has pardoned his son, Hunter, for anything and everything ‘he has committed or may have committed or taken part in’ going all the way back to the year 2014, more evidence comes out each day showing how his family leveraged Joe Biden’s even longer career in public office for private gain. America First Legal will not stop fighting to uncover the full story of the Biden family’s corruption.”

The pictures, along with the testimony of Tony Bobulinski should be enough to justify further investigation into the corruption, regardless of whatever pardons may eventually be involved.

Unfortunately, This Is Necessary

On Saturday, PJ Media posted an article about what the political left has been doing to lawyers who work for President Trump and the solution to their intimidation tactics.

The article reports:

You’d think that there might be an ethical issue running ads that threaten the careers of any lawyers if they work for Donald Trump, but this is the state of play in 2024 in the Democrats’ Lavrentiy Beria political police state. Show me the man and I’ll show you the crime. Rules of propriety are for you, not for us.

Those ads, which you can see here, are running in swing states online and in legal journals in this election—in effect promising the personal destruction of anyone who touches the Trump campaign. 

This is a screenshot of one of the ads:

The article notes:

America First Legal has given the director of The 65 Project, Michael Teter, a taste of his own medicine and filed a bar complaint against him in the state of Utah, where he’s licensed. America First is filing the complaint on behalf of Stefan Passantino, who represented Cassidy Hutchison after Jan. 6. 

Teter’s name may be familiar to you. He pulled this “sure would be a shame” stunt in 2020. He’s the Media Matters and David Brock-blessed lawyer behind the Dominion lawsuit against Fox News, and he was Ray Epps’s attorney, the curious Jan. 6 “Fed! Fed! Fed!” who whispered into the ear of an alleged pro-Trump actor standing outside the Capitol Building barricades, and seconds later, the assault on the barricades began. Teter filed a defamation lawsuit against Fox on Epps’s behalf. 

The article concludes:

America First Legal said of its bar complaint against Teter that his objective of “seeking the personal destruction and financial ruin of another lawyer – simply because of the client he represented or the cause he took up – runs counter to… the letter and spirit of the law governing the activities of lawyers,” according to Reuters.

That’s exactly what it sounds like. And that’s why it should be stopped. Maybe getting a taste of their own medicine will do just that. 

Lawyers who have chosen to ignore integrity in their practice of the law have done a lot of serious damage to this country.

Are You A Terror Suspect Because You Attend Church?

On Friday, The Federalist posted an article about documents  obtained by America First Legal (AFL).

The article reports:

President Joe Biden’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) brainstormed about infiltrating local communities to spy on Americans, and suggested being “religious” or “in the military” was an “indicator of extremists and terrorism,” excerpts of documents obtained by America First Legal (AFL) purportedly show.

These excerpts, released Thursday by AFL, purport to show how in 2023, the DHS’s newly created “Homeland Intelligence Experts Group” looked for ways to expand their spying on American citizens, including by trying to “get into local communities in a non-threatening way” to get fellow Americans to tattle tale on their neighbors.

The committee, on which John Brennan and James Clapper — both notorious for their participation in the Russia-collusion hoax as well as for falsely claiming Hunter Biden’s laptop was Russian disinformation — sat, also suggested religious Americans, members of the military, and Trump supporters were possible security threats, according to segments of the documents released by AFL.

The article notes:

Not only did the FBI expand its “anti-government or anti-authority violent extremists” (AGAAVE) classification to include the “furtherance of political and/or social agendas,” but it also created a new terrorism category, “AGAAVE-Other,” in October of 2022.

“[Y]es, in practical terms, it refers to MAGA, though the carefully constructed language is wholly nonpartisan,” an FBI officer told Newsweek.

The article concludes:

This is a top-down ideology, exemplified by Biden himself espousing the baseless yet inflammatory claim that “MAGA Republicans are a threat to the very soul of this country.”

But the real threat is Democrats’ unabashed use of law enforcement agencies to target political dissidents. The FBI, for example, used a document from the left-wing extremist group, Southern Poverty Law Center, to target Catholics for beliefs like opposing abortion and holding orthodox views on sex. The FBI labeled these individuals as “racially or ethnically motivated violent extremists,” as reported by The Daily Signal.

As you read this, there are people in our government making plans to limit any free speech opposing their agenda and using government force to silence those who continue to speak. We need to vote very carefully in November. Any politician at any level who opposes free speech or talks about jailing people who disagree with him needs to lose his election by a wide enough margin so that he can’t cheat.

Let’s Not Lose Sight Of Where We Are

I realize that sounds like something Kamala Harris would say, but it is exactly what I mean. My husband used to have a sign on his desk at work, “When you are up to your neck in alligators, it’s hard to remember that your objective is to drain the swamp.” We are definitely up to our neck in alligators, but let’s not forget the job we need to do at home.

On Tuesday, Breitbart reported the following:

The National Archives (NARA) revealed that more than 29,000 emails exist between Biden family business members and then-Vice President Joe Biden’s office, a Joint Status Report obtained by Breitbart News from America First Legal (AFL) revealed Tuesday.

NARA disclosed the record of the emails after ALF filed a FOIA request on August 9, 2022. The extent to which then-Vice President Joe Biden’s office communicated with Joe Biden’s family about its ventures was unknown before the lawsuit.

Breitbart News previously reported communications between then-Vice President Joe Biden’s office and Biden associates, despite Joe Biden’s assurance that an “absolute wall” existed between his family’s foreign business ventures and government business.

The Joint Status Report specifically revealed then-Vice President Joe Biden’s office had 19,335 emails with Rosemont Seneca, 4,243 emails with Hunter Biden, 1,751 emails with Jim Biden, and 3,738 emails with James Biden’s Lion Hall Group.

The contents of the emails remain unknown.

Do you think they were discussing the weather?

The article concludes:

It is not ALF’s first time to compel NARA to cooperate with requests. In August, NARA divulged 861 records encompassing communications between January 2011 and December 2013 with the name of Hunter Biden’s company, “Rosemont Seneca.” NARA did not release about 200 related records, citing executive privilege.

On a separate occasion, emails released by AFL show Hunter Biden in 2011 involved himself in planning a state dinner for Chinese officials at the White House, just months before he traveled to China to begin forming the relationships to launch BHR Partners.

Through the “Super Chairman,” Hunter Biden formed the joint venture, BHR Partners, in which Hunter Biden’s company, Skaneateles LLC, held a ten percent equity stake. BHR Partners is co-owned by the state-controlled Bank of China and still boasts billions of allocated capital around the globe. Kevin Morris controls Hunter Biden’s stake in BHR Partners, Breitbart News exclusively reported in April. In 2017, Devon Archer conveyed his stake in BHR Partners to his wife.

Let’s not forget this in all the chaos that is currently on the front page.
