bonginoreport--2020-10-24--David Limbaugh: A Sordid Conspiracy to Deceive the American Electorate

Have we ever witnessed a stranger anomaly in modern presidential politics than the craven contempt the Biden campaign , the media and social media have shown for the American electorate in their disgraceful conspiracy to hide Joe Biden ?
What bona fide presidential candidate would arrogantly hide in his basement during the heat of a campaign , especially in the last few weeks of an ever-tightening one ?
If the liberal media were n't providing Biden cover , he could n't get away with this .
If they were even raising questions about his intentional invisibility , this campaign would @ @ @ @ @ @ @ surreal .
As President Donald Trump has hopscotched the country , traveling thousands of miles to appear at vigorous , humongous campaign rallies , Biden and his running mate , Sen. Kamala Harris , are nowhere to be found .
We 've never had a presidential candidate virtually opt out of the campaign .
Please do n't use the virus as an excuse , unless you 're willing to point out that Trump has been fearlessly campaigning for reelection with a rigorous schedule that would exhaust most 30-year olds , while Biden is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ interest in engaging with the public or the media .
And he seeks to be leader of the free world ?
Then again , when Biden has surfaced , he 's failed to draw a Sunday school-sized crowd .
Never has a presidential candidate taken the voters for granted like this .
Hillary Clinton declined to visit the swing state of Wisconsin after April 2016 , but that is nothing compared with Biden 's ghosting of the entire electorate throughout the campaign .
Even candidates who believed they were comfortably ahead have never @ @ @ @ @ @ @ out the clock .
They all believed enough in the superiority of their agenda that they wanted to make their case to the people .
Moreover , what other presidential candidate has refused to provide his position on key issues , including whether he would pack the Supreme Court ?
When has any other candidate haughtily waved off questions of debate moderators and reporters with the sophomoric dodge that , `` Trump just wants you to focus on this issue ( instead of what an SOB he is ) '' ?
Adding insult @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ever let any candidate off the hook like this , which is a scandal of unprecedented proportions ?
Obviously , the media disrespects the electorate as much as the Biden campaign does .
If anything is indisputably the media 's job , it is to bring out the candidates ' positions on important issues , and packing the Supreme Court and the Biden scandals are exceedingly important -- and relevant -- issues .
What would the media 's reaction be if Trump refused to answer such questions ?
The media dutifully promoted the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Russians again -- were behind the emails found on Hunter Biden 's laptop .
But how will these crooked conspirators explain away the bombshell revelation of Hunter 's former business partner , Tony Bobulinski , that the `` big guy '' referred to in Hunter 's email is Joe Biden himself ?
How will they handle Bobulinski 's assertion that Joe Biden was offered 10 % interest in a Chinese business deal ?
But for my money , even these cover-ups do n't hold a candle to the media 's scandalous concealment @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
In his current state , Biden clearly is not fit for office , yet the media ignores it while raising bogus questions about the uncannily vibrant Trump 's capacity .
Reality has finally trumped George Orwell 's imagination .
Where is the perennial finger-wagger Bob Woodward when you need him ?
The American public knows everything there is to know about Trump , as they 've scrutinized every molecule of his being and business dealings and dug up every conceivably negative morsel about him during the last four years .
To complete @ @ @ @ @ @ @ leftist social media giants conspire with the Biden campaign and the media to stack the deck in Biden 's favor .
When the New York Post first reported on the Hunter Biden emails that implicated Joe Biden , Facebook and Twitter actively buried the story -- preventing users from sharing it with other users , invoking the specious excuses that the story violated a hacked-materials policy and was unsubstantiated .
Nice try .
So , here we are , less than two weeks from the most important election of our lifetimes -- and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the agenda of this Democratic duo to radically transform America into a socialist hellhole with 70 genders , major tax increases on most taxpayers , a federally engineered war on law enforcement and law and order , open borders , increased regulations , the horrors of the Green New Deal ( including a gutted domestic energy industry ) , and scores of other policies the majority of Americans would reject if the Democrats ' positions were made known to them .
Do n't fool yourselves .
This liberal trio knows the American electorate @ @ @ @ @ @ @ knowingly elect someone with such a radical agenda , which is why it will continue trying to deceive voters until Nov. 3 .

If the liberal media weren't providing Biden cover, he couldn't get away with this. If they were even raising questions about his intentional invisibility, this campaign would look far different, and far less surreal.
As President Donald Trump has hopscotched the country, traveling thousands of miles to appear at vigorous, humongous campaign rallies, Biden and his running mate, Sen. Kamala Harris, are nowhere to be found. We've never had a presidential candidate virtually opt out of the campaign.
Please don't use the virus as an excuse, unless you're willing to point out that Trump has been fearlessly campaigning for reelection with a rigorous schedule that would exhaust most 30-year olds, while Biden is acting like an old man with no interest in engaging with the public or the media. And he seeks to be leader of the free world? Then again, when Biden has surfaced, he's failed to draw a Sunday school-sized crowd.
Never has a presidential candidate taken the voters for granted like this. Hillary Clinton declined to visit the swing state of Wisconsin after April 2016, but that is nothing compared with Biden's ghosting of the entire electorate throughout the campaign.
Even candidates who believed they were comfortably ahead have never hidden from view like this to run out the clock. They all believed enough in the superiority of their agenda that they wanted to make their case to the people.
Moreover, what other presidential candidate has refused to provide his position on key issues, including whether he would pack the Supreme Court? When has any other candidate haughtily waved off questions of debate moderators and reporters with the sophomoric dodge that, "Trump just wants you to focus on this issue (instead of what an SOB he is)"?

How will they handle Bobulinski's assertion that Joe Biden was offered 10% interest in a Chinese business deal?
But for my money, even these cover-ups don't hold a candle to the media's scandalous concealment of Joe Biden's declining mental acuity. In his current state, Biden clearly is not fit for office, yet the media ignores it while raising bogus questions about the uncannily vibrant Trump's capacity. Reality has finally trumped George Orwell's imagination.
Where is the perennial finger-wagger Bob Woodward when you need him?
The American public knows everything there is to know about Trump, as they've scrutinized every molecule of his being and business dealings and dug up every conceivably negative morsel about him during the last four years.
To complete the trifecta, we've watched the leftist social media giants conspire with the Biden campaign and the media to stack the deck in Biden's favor. When the New York Post first reported on the Hunter Biden emails that implicated Joe Biden, Facebook and Twitter actively buried the story -- preventing users from sharing it with other users, invoking the specious excuses that the story violated a hacked-materials policy and was unsubstantiated. Nice try.
So, here we are, less than two weeks from the most important election of our lifetimes -- and millions of voters have been shielded from the agenda of this Democratic duo to radically transform America into a socialist hellhole with 70 genders, major tax increases on most taxpayers, a federally engineered war on law enforcement and law and order, open borders, increased regulations, the horrors of the Green New Deal (including a gutted domestic energy industry), and scores of other policies the majority of Americans would reject if the Democrats' positions were made known to them.
Don't fool yourselves. This liberal trio knows the American electorate is still basically conservative and would never knowingly elect someone with such a radical agenda, which is why it will continue trying to deceive voters until Nov. 3.

bonginoreport--2020-10-24--Michael Barone: Both Candidates’ Risky Strategies

Are both presidential candidates trying to lose ?
Or at least pursuing campaign strategies which put them at grave risk of defeat ?
In nearly four years , Donald Trump has made little effort to win over the 50 percent-plus of voters who did n't support him in 2016 .
Having proved that he could win the presidency without a plurality of the popular vote , he has ignored the possibility that he could govern more effectively if he were reelected with an absolute majority .
You can see the results as Trump supporters scan the polling data for encouraging @ @ @ @ @ @ @ national polls showing him trailing by 7.7 percent , according to a RealClearPolitics average of recent polls .
They focus instead on the chart showing him running slightly better against Joe Biden in the battleground states than he was against Hillary Clinton two to three weeks out in 2016 .
If these numbers prove as much off the mark as in 2016 , Trump could win a second term with 270-plus electoral votes .
But that conclusion requires a lot of assumptions .
Past polling has n't leaned consistently toward one party , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ overcompensate -- for apparent past mistakes .
Astonishingly , Trump has failed to emphasize his two signature 2016 issues : immigration and trade .
He can claim that his new trade agreements and economic policies have produced income and wealth gains disproportionately favoring low-wage workers -- something administrations of both parties have failed to achieve for a generation .
And he can argue that his immigration policies -- and the cooperation he has successfully wrested from Mexico -- have prevented the surge of unskilled illegal immigrants which could easily resume the minute the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Biden has a different strategy , with risks of its own .
With a solid lead in the polls , and with COVID-19 providing a rationale for laying low , he 's running out the clock .
On nearly half the days in September , his staffers announced an early lid .
Sometimes , he 'd generate no news after 9:00 a.m .
He took three days off this week for debate preparation .
He and vice presidential nominee Kamala Harris have taken almost no questions from reporters , almost all of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that might hurt his chances .
Biden has answered which flavor milkshake he ordered but has refused to say whether he , like many other Democrats , would support packing the Supreme Court .
He chewed out the one reporter who asked him about his son Hunter 's business deals .
Harris , similarly , keeps out of question range .
ABC 's Jonathan Karl notes that she 's taken more questions from the cast of `` The Avengers '' than from the traveling press .
Obviously , the Biden-Harris ticket is deflecting @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Biden has endorsed -- and which almost everyone in the press corps favors .
After 40 years of opposing government-paid abortions , he now backs them .
He 's likely to use regulations to reduce fracking , which has reduced gas prices and carbon emissions .
His tax increases threaten to stymie economic recovery .
There 's one problem with this strategy : If something does rock the boat , it could tip it over .
A bad debate performance , a sudden brain freeze or an unanticipated negative story could capsize the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ campaign , such as Twitter 's and Facebook 's attempts to conceal the New York Post 's Hunter Biden story , could boomerang and catch voters ' attention .
The Biden campaign is aware of the risks .
It quickly rejected the Trump campaign 's proposal to reschedule the canceled Oct. 15 debate to Oct. 29 .
Democrats remember what happened to Jimmy Carter after Ronald Reagan 's performance in their one debate just a week before the election .
The fact is that both these septuagenarian candidates are capable of political self-harm @ @ @ @ @ @ @ last 100 years -- Franklin Roosevelt , Dwight Eisenhower and Ronald Reagan -- had no really close friends or confidants .
Each believed , as Susan Eisenhower writes of her grandfather in her recent book `` How Ike Led : The Principles Behind Eisenhower 's Biggest Decisions , '' `` that the task of overcoming any challenge must be a personal matter -- a burden to be borne alone . ''
Donald Trump and Joe Biden , at least until his basement confinement , have been something like the opposite .
They have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ passing thoughts on matters momentous and trivial at great , and sometimes embarrassing , length .
The question now is whether Trump can repress that impulse or provoke Biden to indulge it .

bonginoreport--2020-10-24--Will Chamberlain: Regulate Big Tech To Protect Conservative Speech

Editor ’ s note : We endeavor to bring you the top voices on current events representing a range of perspectives .
Below is a column arguing that regulation of Big Tech is necessary to protect free speech .
You can find a counterpoint here , where Rebecca van Burken , a technology policy analyst at Reason Foundation , argues that regulation of Big Tech is both unnecessary and harmful to consumers .
It ’ s rare that a debate in the world of conservative politics moves as quickly as the debate over Big Tech .
Last year , when @ @ @ @ @ @ @ media platform access as a civil right , I received immense pushback from conservatives who were inclined to think we should let Facebook and Twitter do what they want , as private companies .
Those voices have gotten much quieter .
That ’ s because of two basic phenomena .
First , Twitter and Facebook suppress popular conservative influencers and activists , preventing them from plying their trade .
There are too many examples of this to count , but perhaps the most egregious is that of pro-Trump meme maker Carpe Donktum .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ meme maker in the world , with President Trump routinely sharing his content .
One day , he created a meme that mocked CNN ’ s habit of twisting every piece of news against conservatives .
Twitter banned his account based on a frivolous copyright claim ; then , when that claim was dropped , Twitter refused to restore his account .
And why would they ?
After all , Carpe ’ s content was helping conservatives get elected .
Second , Twitter and Facebook outright suppress stories that benefit conservatives politically .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s Hunter Biden story is the most obvious — and worrying — example .
Twitter ’ s safety team prevented the sharing of any links to the Post ’ s reporting , claiming that the reporting was the product of “ hacking.
” That claim is completely unsubstantiated , and yet Twitter has kept the Post locked out of its Twitter account without providing the slightest bit of evidence that they violated Twitter ’ s terms of service .
The deplatforming of popular conservative influencers , the outright suppression of stories favorable @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Twitter and Facebook have been doing for years , and they are only getting more aggressive .
Two years ago , Twitter suspended Alex Jones ; this month , they suspended White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany and the New York Post .
Things are getting worse , and if President Trump loses the upcoming election , much of the blame can be placed on this clear election interference .
The solution is simple : regulate Big Tech , and protect Americans ’ right to speak freely online .
Big Tech ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ t like Facebook and Twitter ’ s censorship , they should simply use a different platform , or create one of their own .
A classic version of this argument was tweeted by Justin Amash : The problem ?
These companies are monopolies , properly understood .
While Twitter and Facebook compete in some respects , they serve different purposes : Facebook is ultimately about what I would call “ family and friends ” social media ; users are primarily fed content from their social circle .
Twitter , conversely , is better @ @ @ @ @ @ @ media : it is the center of discourse for journalists , politicians and pundits , and the text-based , highly interactive format makes it the closest thing we have to a real public square .
These companies are monopolies because of “ network effects ” : their massive , diverse user bases are what make them so valuable .
Competitors to Twitter , like Parler , are constantly fighting an uphill battle to get any kind of ideological diversity on their platform .
As a result , even if they get an inflow @ @ @ @ @ @ @ upset with Twitter ’ s censorship , those users inevitably flock back to Twitter , where the real debate is happening .
And , if a competitor somehow manages to meaningfully threaten the market position of Facebook or Twitter , odds are they will simply be bought out by the larger company , as Facebook did with Instagram .
Conservatives have been told to “ set up their own Twitter ” for years now .
Multiple companies have tried .
None have come remotely close to succeeding , and Facebook and Twitter have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ were the solution to our problems , the New York Post would still have access to their Twitter account .
Perhaps the most common conservative/libertarian argument against regulating Big Tech is that no matter how bad social media censorship is right now , it would be infinitely worse if Democrats were in control of the executive branch and able to regulate these platforms .
The rejoinder is one Big Tech ’ s defenders should be familiar with : the First Amendment applies to the government , even if it doesn ’ t apply @ @ @ @ @ @ @ government speech regulation is a one-way ratchet : it can liberate Americans to speak freely , but it can not constrain us .
A recently decided Supreme Court case , Packingham v. North Carolina , is a great example of how this works .
Under North Carolina law , sex offenders were not allowed to use social media sites .
In a unanimous decision , the Supreme Court found this law unconstitutional , for a simple reason : under a long-standing First Amendment law , the government can not restrict your ability to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to social media sites .
So , if a hypothetical President Biden tried to force social media sites to censor your speech , you would be able to walk into court and get an injunction to force them to stop .
And First Amendment law is robust , even to bad facts ; consider how public universities routinely lose in court if they try to prevent even odious white nationalists from speaking on their campus .
If Joe Biden wouldn ’ t be able to regulate Richard Spencer ’ s speech , he @ @ @ @ @ @ @ yours .
There is no conservative principle that requires that we submit to our own political marginalization .
Facebook and Twitter are frivolously censoring conservative speakers and shutting down stories unfavorable to Democrats .
These problems can not be competed away due to the platforms ’ monopoly power , which is evidenced by the fact that the platforms have gotten only more censorious in the face of supposed “ competitors.
” Finally , this is one of the few areas of public policy where it would be hard for government regulation to make @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Americans from the government constraining their speech .
This censorship makes every conservative user of these platforms fear losing their accounts , and consequently any meaningful access to the public square .
Facebook is not only an important space to speak your mind ; it also acts as the repository of information for many people , and a place to connect to old friends and acquaintances .
Losing access to Facebook , as Bret Weinstein just did , is incredibly consequential and isolating for people who rely on it .
Similarly , imagine @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 2020 without Twitter ; unless you ’ ve been reporting for decades and have built up a massive , independent platform , it ’ s nearly impossible .
As a result , conservative users self-censor , while liberal users barely have to worry .
It ’ s time .
We settled the debate over whether the government can regulate private companies to protect the rights of Americans in 1964 .
In 2020 , there are only two types of conservatives : those who are in favor of regulating Facebook and Twitter to protect @ @ @ @ @ @ @ wrong .

Editor’s note: We endeavor to bring you the top voices on current events representing a range of perspectives. Below is a column arguing that regulation of Big Tech is necessary to protect free speech. You can find a counterpoint here, where Rebecca van Burken, a technology policy analyst at Reason Foundation, argues that regulation of Big Tech is both unnecessary and harmful to consumers.
It’s rare that a debate in the world of conservative politics moves as quickly as the debate over Big Tech. Last year, when I proposed that we should understand social media platform access as a civil right, I received immense pushback from conservatives who were inclined to think we should let Facebook and Twitter do what they want, as private companies. Those voices have gotten much quieter. That’s because of two basic phenomena.
HOW THEY CENSOR
First, Twitter and Facebook suppress popular conservative influencers and activists, preventing them from plying their trade. There are too many examples of this to count, but perhaps the most egregious is that of pro-Trump meme maker Carpe Donktum. Carpe was perhaps the most popular pro-Trump meme maker in the world, with President Trump routinely sharing his content. One day, he created a meme that mocked CNN’s habit of twisting every piece of news against conservatives. Twitter banned his account based on a frivolous copyright claim; then, when that claim was dropped, Twitter refused to restore his account. And why would they? After all, Carpe’s content was helping conservatives get elected.
Second, Twitter and Facebook outright suppress stories that benefit conservatives politically. The suppression of the New York Post’s Hunter Biden story is the most obvious — and worrying — example. Twitter’s safety team prevented the sharing of any links to the Post’s reporting, claiming that the reporting was the product of “hacking.” That claim is completely unsubstantiated, and yet Twitter has kept the Post locked out of its Twitter account without providing the slightest bit of evidence that they violated Twitter’s terms of service.
The deplatforming of popular conservative influencers, the outright suppression of stories favorable to Republicans, these are things that Twitter and Facebook have been doing for years, and they are only getting more aggressive. Two years ago, Twitter suspended Alex Jones; this month, they suspended White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany and the New York Post. Things are getting worse, and if President Trump loses the upcoming election, much of the blame can be placed on this clear election interference. The solution is simple: regulate Big Tech, and protect Americans’ right to speak freely online.
REGULATION IS THE SOLUTION
Big Tech’s advocates suggest that if conservatives don’t like Facebook and Twitter’s censorship, they should simply use a different platform, or create one of their own. A classic version of this argument was tweeted by Justin Amash:
The First Amendment prohibits government censorship and protects private censorship. In a free society, Twitter and Facebook are allowed to make horrible decisions with respect to content moderation, and you are allowed to tell them off and use another service. — Justin Amash (@justinamash) October 15, 2020
The problem? These companies are monopolies, properly understood. While Twitter and Facebook compete in some respects, they serve different purposes: Facebook is ultimately about what I would call “family and friends” social media; users are primarily fed content from their social circle. Twitter, conversely, is better understood as “public square” social media: it is the center of discourse for journalists, politicians and pundits, and the text-based, highly interactive format makes it the closest thing we have to a real public square.
These companies are monopolies because of “network effects”: their massive, diverse user bases are what make them so valuable. Competitors to Twitter, like Parler, are constantly fighting an uphill battle to get any kind of ideological diversity on their platform. As a result, even if they get an inflow of users every so often that are upset with Twitter’s censorship, those users inevitably flock back to Twitter, where the real debate is happening. And, if a competitor somehow manages to meaningfully threaten the market position of Facebook or Twitter, odds are they will simply be bought out by the larger company, as Facebook did with Instagram.
Conservatives have been told to “set up their own Twitter” for years now. Multiple companies have tried. None have come remotely close to succeeding, and Facebook and Twitter have gotten only more censorious. If competition were the solution to our problems, the New York Post would still have access to their Twitter account.
REGULATION IS A ONE-WAY RATCHET
Perhaps the most common conservative/libertarian argument against regulating Big Tech is that no matter how bad social media censorship is right now, it would be infinitely worse if Democrats were in control of the executive branch and able to regulate these platforms.
The rejoinder is one Big Tech’s defenders should be familiar with: the First Amendment applies to the government, even if it doesn’t apply to private companies. As such, government speech regulation is a one-way ratchet: it can liberate Americans to speak freely, but it cannot constrain us.
A recently decided Supreme Court case, Packingham v. North Carolina, is a great example of how this works. Under North Carolina law, sex offenders were not allowed to use social media sites. In a unanimous decision, the Supreme Court found this law unconstitutional, for a simple reason: under a long-standing First Amendment law, the government cannot restrict your ability to speak in public, and that applies to social media sites.
So, if a hypothetical President Biden tried to force social media sites to censor your speech, you would be able to walk into court and get an injunction to force them to stop. And First Amendment law is robust, even to bad facts; consider how public universities routinely lose in court if they try to prevent even odious white nationalists from speaking on their campus. If Joe Biden wouldn’t be able to regulate Richard Spencer’s speech, he won’t be able to regulate yours.
CONCLUSION
There is no conservative principle that requires that we submit to our own political marginalization. Facebook and Twitter are frivolously censoring conservative speakers and shutting down stories unfavorable to Democrats. These problems cannot be competed away due to the platforms’ monopoly power, which is evidenced by the fact that the platforms have gotten only more censorious in the face of supposed “competitors.” Finally, this is one of the few areas of public policy where it would be hard for government regulation to make things worse; the First Amendment protects Americans from the government constraining their speech.
This censorship makes every conservative user of these platforms fear losing their accounts, and consequently any meaningful access to the public square. Facebook is not only an important space to speak your mind; it also acts as the repository of information for many people, and a place to connect to old friends and acquaintances. Losing access to Facebook, as Bret Weinstein just did, is incredibly consequential and isolating for people who rely on it. Similarly, imagine trying to function as a journalist in 2020 without Twitter; unless you’ve been reporting for decades and have built up a massive, independent platform, it’s nearly impossible. As a result, conservative users self-censor, while liberal users barely have to worry.
It’s time. We settled the debate over whether the government can regulate private companies to protect the rights of Americans in 1964. In 2020, there are only two types of conservatives: those who are in favor of regulating Facebook and Twitter to protect conservative speech, and those who are wrong.

bonginoreport--2020-10-24--Joe Biden Texts to Hunter Prove He Had “No Hesitancy” in Helping Son Get $1 Million From CCP-Linked

Joe Biden Texts to Hunter Prove He Had “No Hesitancy” in Helping Son Get $1 Million From CCP-Linked Business Partner

Please click here to support our investigative reporting into the Biden family .
The Hunter-linked business partner discussed in the texts appears to be Eric Schwerin , which we corroborated using messages between Hunter and Eric around the same time , wherein Hunter Biden asks Eric for a payment via the platform Zelle .
The National Pulse has also independently verified that the cell numbers used in the text chains belong to Rosemont Seneca HQ and Joseph R. Biden ( the former Vice President ) respectively .
An alumnus of the Obama White House , Eric retains extensive links to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ – the notorious company which partnered with Chinese state-owned banks on a $ 1.5 billion investment fund and a host of other million-dollar deals with Chinese Communist Party-linked companies .
In the texts below , Hunter can be seen asking for his father , former VP Joe Biden ’ s help .
On March 6th , 2019 , Biden offers Hunter assistance , texting him “ what would you like me to do.
” Soon after , Hunter responds with a message describing how Eric was withholding money from him : Eric is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ investments that somehow went to his address until I agree to give him 100 % equity in a business that I own 100 % of and fired him from 2.5 years ago .
No kidding- he knows that i can ’ t sue him because I can ’ t wait that long for the money without creating much bigger problems .
Like loosing my life insurance policy of which Kathleen is the beneficiary in perpetuity ( insane concession my attorney made ) .
Anyway , Ive refused to negotiate with him .
I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ do it anymore .

EXC: Joe Biden’s Texts to Hunter Show Ex-VP Had “No Hesitancy” in Helping Son Get $1M From Chinese Communist-Linked Business Partner
A series of text messages between Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden and son Hunter reveals the former Vice President offered “help” with “absolutely no hesitancy” to alleviate his son’s financial issues with one of his business partners tied extensively to the Chinese Communist Party – The National Pulse can exclusively reveal.

[/powerkit_button]
The Hunter-linked business partner discussed in the texts appears to be Eric Schwerin, which we corroborated using messages between Hunter and Eric around the same time, wherein Hunter Biden asks Eric for a payment via the platform Zelle.
The National Pulse has also independently verified that the cell numbers used in the text chains belong to Rosemont Seneca HQ and Joseph R. Biden (the former Vice President) respectively.
THE SCHWERIN TEXTS:
An alumnus of the Obama White House, Eric retains extensive links to the Chinese Communist Party via Rosemont Seneca – the notorious company which partnered with Chinese state-owned banks on a $1.5 billion investment fund and a host of other million-dollar deals with Chinese Communist Party-linked companies.
In the texts below, Hunter can be seen asking for his father, former VP Joe Biden’s help.
THE JOE BIDEN TEXT MESSAGES:
On March 6th, 2019, Biden offers Hunter assistance, texting him “what would you like me to do.” Soon after, Hunter responds with a message describing how Eric was withholding money from him:
Eric is holding without any right my checks from investments that somehow went to his address until I agree to give him 100% equity in a business that I own 100% of and fired him from 2.5 years ago. No kidding- he knows that i can’t sue him because I can’t wait that long for the money without creating much bigger problems. Like loosing my life insurance policy of which Kathleen is the beneficiary in perpetuity (insane concession my attorney made). Anyway, Ive refused to negotiate with him. I’m not going to let him do it anymore. I borrowed enough money to take care of obligations like medical for me and girls and taxes and alimony and life insurance.
Hunter describes how Eric had been withholding his funds “for three years,” which estimates to be worth “well over $1M”:
He’s been doing this to me for three years and not a single person except George and Jeff Cooper know it’s a lie. George just proved that the agreement Eric said I signed was actually my e-signature that I never placed on any document. That’s been the cornerstone of any argument Eric had. He obviously was able to convince everyone that I’ve wronged him while he holds over $800,000 of mine totally without any merit. That’s just one investment. Over three years it’s well over $1M. But other than the two people no one has believed me and has taken Eric at face value (what motive?). He’s also been Kathleen’s source of information that’s put me at a real disadvantage (phone records show that).
The next morning, Biden responds with a text about an individual passing away followed by confirmation he received the message:
I JUST GOT THIS MESSAGE
DAD
He then offers his assistance with Eric with “absolutely no hesitancy”:
Can I help with Eric
I have absolutely no hesitancy
Let me help if you think i can
Love dad
Roughly one week later, Hunter inquires with Biden again about Eric withholding finances from him, and asks for money to pay bills:
Dad can you please cash app me $2000. I have the money. But now I can’t access it b/c Eric deposited in y account but had Edward Prewitt my banker and his our mutual friend put a hold on it. I’m again overdrawn in my account for bills that can’t be left unpaid.
Joe Biden responds, offering assistance:
Yes what do I do to do it
Is there a thing called cash app
Hunter tells his father to “just ask Richard” to complete the transfer, referencing Richard Ruffner who served as Special Assistant to Jill Biden and a Personal Aide to then-Vice President Biden and during his 2020 presidential campaign.
Biden promptly responds, telling his son “Richard sending it right now” and to “confirm when you get it with me.”
Corroborating the text thread, an email from Hunter’s account dated March 16th, 2019 at 9:03 pm reveals a Cashapp transaction between “Joseph R Biden Jr” and Richard Ruffner – presumably as reimbursement for the loan.
Eric Schwerin formerly served as the Policy and Outreach Coordinator for the China Trade Relations Working Group from 2000 to 2001 before joining Hunter’s lobbying firm Oldaker, Biden & Belair as a Partner.
His business ties with Hunter continued to grow: he departed Oldaker, Biden & Belair to become a Founding Partner and Managing Director at Rosemont Seneca Partners. Schwerin later became President of the CCP-linked Rosemont Seneca.
In 2015, Schwerin was appointed as a Member of the Obama administration’s Commission for the Preservation of America’s Heritage Abroad.
Biden told his son he had “absolutely no hesitancy” in helping his son gain access to “over $1M” allegedly being held by Schwerin, perhaps even relying on his political power or connections to do so.

That’s what this story from the Wall Street Journal about CNN boss Jeff Zucker feeling “frustrated” and “blindsided” by a restructuring at parent company AT&T feels like — a first step towards an ultimate exit.
There are some institutions where a leader is forced out or voluntarily steps aside but there is not dramatic, wholesale change.

Here is the nut graph that describes Zucker’s frustrations with Jason Kilar, who was named CEO of AT&T’s WarnerMedia this past April:
“When Mr. Kilar succeeded John Stankey atop WarnerMedia earlier this year, he carried out another overhaul in August that took away from Mr. Zucker oversight of CNN’s finances and human resources, as well as communications—an area run by one of Mr. Zucker’s top lieutenants, Allison Gollust. The changes annoyed and surprised Mr. Zucker, the people familiar with the situation said.”
Furthermore, Kilar used to work for Zucker at Hulu, and now the tables have turned. That also comes at a time where CNN, after doing great financially for most of Zucker’s tenure, missed profit targets by $100-120 million.
Zucker was the precocious executive producer of the NBC Today Show at 26; he rose to managing entertainment for NBC and was the executive responsible for President Donald Trump’s run on The Apprentice. Zucker was criticized by the left for giving President Trump’s campaign too much attention; now, President Trump feuds with Zucker and CNN over negative coverage.
AT&T closed their $85 billion purchase of Time Warner, which became WarnerMedia, in 2018, following resistance from the Justice Department. Many attributed the delay to President Trump’s feud with Zucker and CNN; the administration denied influencing the case.

Even Bibi did n't know if this was possible , right Bibi ? ''
Trump asked his ally , Israel @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Sudan had demonstrated a commitment to battling terrorism .
`` This is one of the great days in the history of Sudan , '' Trump said , adding that Israel and Sudan have been in a state of war for decades .

The president said that at least five other countries wanted peace with Israel. "We have many lined up. They want to come in, get the deal done."
ISRAEL AND LEBANON HOLD HISTORIC TALKS ON MARITIME BORDER
Senior adviser to the president Jared Kushner, who has been involved in brokering the deals, agreed that other countries in the Middle East would soon follow suit.
Trump said that even Iran would "someday" normalize relations with Israel.
"Iran ultimately will become a member of this whole thing. Look, someday I'd love to help Iran get back on track. They've gone from a rich country to a poor country in three years," he said.
"But they can't have nuclear weapons," he continued. "It's always death to Israel, that's all they shout. So they can't have nuclear weapons."
The president also said that a deal between Israel and the Palestinian region may be on the horizon. "Palestinians, they're wanting to do something. "I'm sure that will get done, too."
TRUMP DECLARES 'DAWN OF A NEW MIDDLE EAST' AS HE PRESIDES OVER SIGNING OF HISTORIC DEALS
Before the 2020 peace deals, Middle Eastern nation had not recognized Israel since Jordan in the 1990s.
Trump said he expects Saudi Arabia to come to the table for a deal soon.
"There's going to be a big reunion, where everybody is here, everybody's going to be signed. We expect Saudi Arabia's going to be one of those countries. Highly respected. The King and the Crown Prince. They're all just highly respected in the Middle East."
Friday's deal, which would deepen Sudan's engagement with the West, follows Trump's conditional agreement this week to remove the North African nation from the list of state sponsors of terrorism if it pays compensation to American victims of terror attacks.
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said in a ceremony announcing the deal that victims of terror would receive $335 million in compensation from Sudan.
The money is meant for victims of the 1998 bombings of the U.S. Embassies in Kenya and Tanzania by the al-Qaida network while its leader, Osama bin Laden, was living in Sudan. Trump said on Tuesday that once the funds were transferred, he would remove Sudan from the list.
A senior U.S. official said Sudan had borrowed the money needed to pay that amount.
But these recent recognitions of Israel have undermined the traditional Arab consensus that there can be no normalization with Israel before the establishment of an independent Palestinian state. The Palestinians say the recognitions amount to betrayal, while Israel says the Palestinians have lost what they have seen as their "veto" over regional peace efforts.
Netanyahu has made it a priority to forge ties with formerly hostile countries in Africa and the Arab world in the absence of any progress with the Palestinians during his more than a decade in office.
The deal with Sudan will include aid and investment from Israel, particularly in technology and agriculture, along with further debt relief. It comes as Sudan and its transitional government teeter on the edge. Thousands have protested in the country's capital Khartoum and other regions in recent days over dire economic conditions.

The normalization agreement had been in the works for some time but was finalized when Trump's Mideast peace team, led by Jared Kushner and Avi Berkowitz, visited the region earlier this week to mark the first commercial flight between Israel and Bahrain and then went on to the United Arab Emirates, according to U.S. officials.
Unlike with Bahrain and the UAE, there has been a state of hostilities between Sudan and Israel, even if they had not been in direct conflict.

Unmentioned in the joint statement was that Sudan has agreed, according to the senior U.S. official, to designate Lebanon's Hezbollah movement as a terrorist organization, something that Israel has long sought from its neighbors and others in the international community.

bonginoreport--2020-10-24--Grocery Store Facing Boycott After Offering 20% Discount to Trump Supporters

Grocery store faces calls for a boycott after its immigrant owner offers a 20 % discount to Trump supporters

People are calling for a boycott of a grocery store in Oakdale, New York, after its owner — Jose Colon, who hails from the Dominican Republic — had the apparent audacity to offer Trump supporters a deep discount on their purchases.
The backlash and demand for a boycott even continued after he conceded and even said he was open to offering the same discount for supporters of the Democratic presidential nominee, former Vice President Joe Biden.
What are the details of the offer?
On Wednesday, the Fresh Food Supermarket advertised the discount on its Facebook page.
A portion of the now-viral ad read, "Trump supporters get 20% off[.] Mention at the cash register you are a Trump supporter to get discount[.] (Excludes beer)[.]"
The ad, at the time of this reporting, has sparked a frenzy of remarks.
What's happening now?
According to Fox News, social media users took issue with the discount and reportedly threatened to boycott the store and call the local health department.
Colon told the outlet, "We're supposed to live in a free country. This is weird. It's crazy."
He explained that he would honor the same discount for Biden supporters.
"We live in a free country where we support democracy, where we can go both ways, we can support left, right — whatever you want," he explained. "I decided to vote and support the best interest, I believe, for this country."
Colon added that he was not pleased with the response to the offer.
"I'm an immigrant as well," he told Fox. "I came here to this country legally, and I've been working hard since day one."
Colon noted that he's made his point and is content to live with the backlash.
"If this is gonna cause me losing my store, I'll run it until Election Day," he insisted. "I'll run it until the last day."
According to WABC-TV, Colon added, "I don't try to make any kind of division with politics."

One America News Network host Jack Posobiec tweeted Sunday that a source from the Department of Justice told the network that the FBI dropped the investigation due to supposed concerns over the story from the repair shop owner .
Concerns were raised over the chain of custody in the case .
The source indicated that the FBI dropped the investigation `` because they did not believe the repair shop owner 's story would hold up in court , although Mac Isaac provided them with evidence , '' according to Posobiec , who added that `` They found zero evidence of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ been in possession of the laptop at the center of the scandal , and a federal law enforcement officer revealed to Fox News that the emails in question are `` authentic .

Former Fox News correspondent and journalist Adam Housley pointed out that both the Department of Justice and the Director of National Intelligence verified the legitimacy of the laptop , adding that the Russians had nothing to do with its contents or the dissemination of its contents .

bonginoreport--2020-10-25--20 Questions The Media Would Be Asking Joe Biden If He Were A Republican

If the mainstream media were a baseball game , Republicans would be dealing with beanballs thrown at their heads , crooked umpires , and scorekeepers that “ forget ” to note when they have scored runs while the Democrats would be hitting underhanded , slow-pitch softballs .
Put another way , as long as Democrats toe the liberal line , they get a free pass while the Republicans get treated like Al-Qaeda , except worse , since some reporters have a least a smidgen of sympathy for anyone who actually wants to destroy America .
What it all comes down @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is a completely different ball game for Republicans than Democrats .
Wouldn ’ t be nice if Democrats like Joe Biden were actually treated like Republicans for a few days and actually had to answer some tough questions ?
If the press did their jobs and treated both sides equally , Joe Biden regularly would have to answer questions like these .
1 ) Given your obvious mental deterioration and your difficulty working a full schedule on the campaign trail , why should the American people believe you are physically and mentally capable @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the presidency ?
2 ) You have been in government since 1972 , so aren ’ t you part of the problem ?
Why should anyone believe you ’ ll make things better ?
3 ) While you were Vice President , America had the weakest economic recovery since the Great Depression .
Shouldn ’ t Americans expect the same poor performance this time if you win ?
4 ) Was your son Hunter qualified for his Burisma board member position ?
What exactly did he bring to that position other than the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Vice-President to help him ?
5 ) You tried to dodge questions about your son ’ s notorious laptop that was left in a Delaware store .
Are you claiming that the laptop is not his ?
6 ) Compromising pictures of an underage girl were supposedly found on your son ’ s laptop and there are indications you knew about this beforehand and talked with him about it .
Did you do anything to protect that girl from your son ?
7 ) Very clearly , your son Hunter has made millions @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you , but you say you have not given it .
Given the revelations of Laptopgate , why should anyone believe you ?
8 ) Are you willing to condemn # Blacklivesmatter for all the rioting , looting , lawbreaking , and bad behavior associated with the group ?
9 ) The no-bail policies you support have dramatically exacerbated the violence and rioting of your supporters in many places .
Are you willing to abandon those policies and call for all of your supporters who break the law to be charged with a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ) You have denied that you want to do away with fracking and fossil fuel many times , but there is video of you saying it .
Were you lying then or are you lying now ?
11 ) Under the Title IX rules that were put in place during the Obama administration , lawsuits have proven that college men were being convicted of sexual assaults they didn ’ t commit on college campuses .
The Trump administration changed these rules , but you say you want to go back to them .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ okay for college men to be falsely labeled as rapists by kangaroo courts that make it impossible for them to defend themselves ?
12 ) The United States is currently 27 trillion dollars in debt .
You have proposed programs that will add another 11 trillion in debt .
Do you see programs like Medicare and Social Security surviving in their current forms when we are that far in the hole and if so , how ?
13 ) A family of four earning $ 73,000 saves $ 2,000 per year because of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ will go up if you , as promised , repeal the Trump tax cuts .
So , aren ’ t you lying when you say no one making less than $ 400,000 will have their taxes raised if you become President ?
14 ) You want to give citizenship to 11 million illegal aliens .
Why do they deserve Medicare and Social Security benefits ?
Also , that will encourage millions of other illegal aliens to come here .
Will you give them citizenship , too ?
15 ) Why do you now @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the tax dollars of people that are adamantly against killing children to fund abortions ?
16 ) You have talked about a “ national mask mandate , ” but have given few details .
Will you force people to wear masks in gyms ?
When they ’ re walking outside ?
At home with their loved ones ?
In between bites of food at a restaurant ?
Should people be jailed for refusing ?
17 ) You are well known for your unwanted sniffing and kissing of women .
You have also been @ @ @ @ @ @ @ aide .
Are you a sexual predator , Joe ?
Can women be safe around you ?
18 ) Many people believe that stacking the Supreme Court would turn them into puppets for the White House and destroy respect for the court .
You ’ ve refused to say whether you support this radical change .
Are you willing to finally tell us where you stand on this ?
19 ) There are many Democrats that favor getting rid of the legislative filibuster in the Senate .
That is a radical move that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ support it ?
20 ) Millions of Americans lost their health care plans and prices have gone up dramatically because of the Affordable Care Act .
Would you be willing to apologize to the American people for all the lies used to sell that legislation and for the failure of Obamacare ?
