wnd--2020-10-23--Photo: Joe Biden met with son's business partner before trip to Ukraine

Joe Biden continues to insist he never discussed his son Hunter 's foreign business deals , but along with other emerging evidence , a photograph shows the then-vice president with his son 's business partner Devon Archer .
The meeting at the White House in 2014 took place just five days before Joe Biden traveled to Ukraine after being given oversight of U.S. policy in the nation , the Gateway Pundit reported .
Attorneys for Hunter Biden 's and Devon Archer 's company , Rosemont Seneca Partners , later wrote Burisma and told them to remove the photo from their @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 's board for about $ 83,000 a month , receiving a total of about $ 3.1 million from 2014 to 2019 .
An April 2014 report by Russia Today noted Hunter Biden had recently been promoted to the board of Burisma before his father 's trip to Kiev .
Sen. Ron Johnson , R-Wis. , the chairman of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee , told Sean Hannity Wednesday night he has a question for Joe Biden .
`` Mr. Vice President , why did you meet with Devon Archer five @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you were named the face of US policy in Ukraine ?
Why did you meet with Devon Archer and then six days later Devon Archer was named to the board ? ''
Johnson said there 's evidence now that Hunter Biden may have been on the board 10 days before the White House meeting .
`` So this was a meeting in the White House with Devon Archer who ’ s now a convicted felon .
What did Vice President Biden meet with Devon about ?
What did they talk about ? ''
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ on the laptop abandoned at a Delaware repair shop believed to have belonged to Hunter Biden was a message from Vadym Pozharskyi , an adviser to the board of Burisma , to the former vice president 's son thanking him for `` an opportunity to meet your father and spent [ sic ] some time together . ''
Biden 's now famous threat to withdraw $ 1 billion in aid if Ukraine 's president did not fire its top prosecutor , who was investigating Burisma at the time , took place in March @ @ @ @ @ @ @ his father was vice president because the Ukrainian natural gas firm wanted high-ranking U.S. officials to express support in an effort to shut down investigations against the company 's owner , according to an unconfirmed email reported Thursday by Fox News .
Anchor Tucker Carlson said he obtained exclusive access to the email , which was among others reported last week by the New York Post .
The Burisma adviser Pozharskyi emailed Biden and Archer , on Nov. 2 , 2015 , with a list of the `` deliverables '' he sought from @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Zlochevsky , was the target of a bribery investigation in the U.K. at the time .
Pozharskyi , Carlson said , told Biden and Archer he wanted `` high-ranking U.S. officials to express their 'positive opinion of Burisma . '
'' `` The scope of work should also include organization of a visit of a number of widely recognized and influential current and/or former US policy-makers to Ukraine in November , '' Pozharskyi wrote .
The Burisma executive said the objective of the visits was to `` bring positive signal/message and support on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ officials above with the ultimate purpose to close down for any cases/pursuits against Nikolay in Ukraine . ''
One month later to the day , on Dec. 2 , 2015 , Carlson noted , Hunter Biden received a notice from the Washington public relations firm Blue Star Strategies , which apparently had been hired to lobby the Obama administration on Ukraine .
The email explains that Blue Star had the minutes of a White House planning call that `` addressed several questions regarding U.S. policy toward Ukraine . ''
`` Days later , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ flew to Ukraine and did exactly what his son wanted . ''
The vice president gave a speech `` slamming the very Ukrainian law enforcement official who was tormenting Burisma . ''
See video of Joe Biden recalling how he successfully pressured Ukrainian officials to fire the prosecutor who was targeting Burisma : Shokin has signed an affidavit declaring he was investigating Burisma when Joe Biden had him removed .
Carlson put the new revelations in context .
`` In 2015 , Joe Biden was the sitting vice president of the United States @ @ @ @ @ @ @ relations with the nation of Ukraine .
At that moment , Vice President Joe Biden had more influence over the Ukrainian government and the Ukrainian economy than any other person on the globe outside of Eastern Europe , '' he said .
`` Biden 's younger son , Hunter , knew that and hoped to get rich from his father 's influence . ''
Yet five years later , Carlson said , Joe Biden `` still has not been forced to explain why he fired Ukraine 's top prosecutor at precisely the moment @ @ @ @ @ @ @ him to fire Ukraine 's top prosecutor , nor has Joe Biden addressed whether or not he personally benefited from the Burisma contract . ''

'Deliverables'
Biden's now famous threat to withdraw $1 billion in aid if Ukraine's president did not fire its top prosecutor, who was investigating Burisma at the time, took place in March 2016.
Burisma hired Hunter Biden while his father was vice president because the Ukrainian natural gas firm wanted high-ranking U.S. officials to express support in an effort to shut down investigations against the company's owner, according to an unconfirmed email reported Thursday by Fox News.
Anchor Tucker Carlson said he obtained exclusive access to the email, which was among others reported last week by the New York Post.
The Burisma adviser Pozharskyi emailed Biden and Archer, on Nov. 2, 2015, with a list of the "deliverables" he sought from them.
Burisma's owner, Nikolay Zlochevsky, was the target of a bribery investigation in the U.K. at the time.
Pozharskyi, Carlson said, told Biden and Archer he wanted "high-ranking U.S. officials to express their 'positive opinion of Burisma.'"
"The scope of work should also include organization of a visit of a number of widely recognized and influential current and/or former US policy-makers to Ukraine in November," Pozharskyi wrote.
The Burisma executive said the objective of the visits was to "bring positive signal/message and support on Nikolay's issue to the Ukrainian top officials above with the ultimate purpose to close down for any cases/pursuits against Nikolay in Ukraine."

wnd--2020-10-22--Actually, COVID comes courtesy of the Chinese PEOPLE

Courtesy of China , the West got the H2N2 virus in 1957 and the H3N2 virus in 1968 .
Granted , the Chinese viral supply chain was broken with H1N1 flu ; it came from Mexico .
But , with the bird flu , SARS and SARS-CoV-2 , China has fully reestablished its disease-delivery credentials .
Alas , going by the COVID culpability theories advanced by conservatives , the steady stream of `` China plagues , '' in Trump 's words , has had nothing to do with the noble Chinese people .
Blame the ignoble Chinese Community Party for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ unleashed on the world .
Some have even taken to calling SARS-CoV-2 `` the CCP virus . ''
As this Disneyfied neoconservative narrative goes , the Chinese were just hanging , being the freedom-loving , civilized sorts they are , going about the business of making the world a better place , when , lo and behold , their scheming , communistic government sprung the COVID on them – and the world .
Without fail , American pundits and pols , conservatives , in particular , apply to China the same theories of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the illiberal people of the Middle East .
The bifurcation globalists love to effect is of the noble Chinese people up against the ignoble Chinese government .
It 's the Chinese government , not the people .
Liberate the Chinese and they 'll show their Jeffersonian propensity for enlightened self-interest , not to mention a palate for cuisine less craven and cruel .
What I wrote in 2006 about Iraqis applies in spades to the Chinese and their responsibility for COVID .
I 've substituted Iraq with China here : '' The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ stand apart from the governed ; it reflects them . ''
( Nov. 6 , 2006 ) Look , the Chinese government is no good , but the people get the government they deserve .
If anything , when it comes to COVID , the Chinese state here is likely covering for the people 's despicable habits – habits that caused previous epidemics and have heralded the coronavirus .
As a writer for The Agonist put it : '' Rightists were happy making bat-eating jokes and mocking the 'filthy ' Chinese back when @ @ @ @ @ @ @ now that it 's become an epochal event , only the grandest of explanations will suffice .
Surely COVID was cooked up in a commie mad scientist 's lab , or perhaps in the lair of a genocidal James Bond villain like Ernst Blofeld or Hugo Drax .
`` But a bunch of common Chinese selling wild animals in a stinking , filthy market slum ?
A bunch of scummy gluttons who take pride in the fact that they 'll eat anything that moves , and they 'll eat it raw ?
These @ @ @ @ @ @ @ eating animal testicles and anuses ?
No way , man . ''
Jane Goodall , a great lady , has warned one and all against the brutal , barbaric manner in which animals , wild and domestic , are being husbanded .

Without the West , wildlife would be decimated .
The love Westerners have for animals originates , very plainly , in a certain goodness .

Said Arthur Schopenhauer ( 1788-1860 ) : `` Since compassion for animals is so @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it may be confidently asserted that whoever is cruel to animals can not be a good man . ''
By separating the Chinese and their culinary preferences from the zoonotic diseases these practices cause – conservatives are practicing multiculturalism , as well as alibiing the Chinese for atrocities against animals ongoing .

China's plague-delivery pedigree is solid.

wnd--2020-10-22--Rush Limbaugh's priceless legacy

Rush Limbaugh's priceless legacy

Talk-radio superstar Rush Hudson Limbaugh III continues to unite , enlighten and inspire American conservatives as he has done nationwide since August 1988 .
For a third of a century , Rush has been the clarion voice on the airwaves that rallies Republicans around traditional American values , shows that conservatives are not alone but a majority , and helps elect generations of lawmakers and presidents .
`` The reason talk radio is mostly conservative and libertarian , '' said pioneering talk-radio host Barry Farber , `` is because talk radio is the place where anyone can call in and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ You wo n't be allowed to speak freely in the New York Times or on MSNBC if you have traditional values . ''
Last Wednesday , tens of millions again tuned to their voice , Rush , to hear his passionate explanation of why President Donald Trump will win reelection on Nov. 3 , if the vote is honest .
His words were powerful , his mind sharp , but a painful health challenge seemed to add special concern to his message .
As Trump White House adviser Stephen Miller says , this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ working-class Americans against an international ruling elite loyal only to its own power and self-aggrandizement .
Having fought lifelong for America 's founding ideals , Rush must find it discouraging to realize that the opposition in this election is not solely the Democratic Party , hijacked by radical leftists .
Opposing President Trump are also self-serving `` New World Order '' Republican turncoats , including those of the Lincoln Project , who have pocketed millions by backstabbing this non-politician president who outsmarted them .
One Lincoln Project founder signed a deal to receive @ @ @ @ @ @ @ consultation with the same Russians who gave Hillary Clinton $ 145 million for 20 % of America 's uranium ; this `` noble '' never-Trump loser canceled his shameful deal only after journalists reported it .
But of the jackals circling lion Trump , the worst come from deep state institutions conservatives grew up respecting .
When politicized FBI officials spy on Republicans to benefit Democrats , exploit what they know are fake documents paid for by Hillary Clinton and the Democratic National Committee , and collude with Democrats and their left-wing media @ @ @ @ @ @ @ our duly elected president , our government 's integrity seems damaged beyond repair .
`` Our Constitution was written for a moral and religious people , '' said John Adams .
`` It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other . ''
Are we still a moral , religious people ?
Or do too many now worship power , mammon and Marx ?
Has Joe Biden sold his soul and country for $ 1.5 billion from Communist China , one of his many self-enriching betrayals that stink of corruption ?
Why @ @ @ @ @ @ @ criminality ?
Biden and the Democratic Party have made clear that they intend to pack the Supreme Court and U.S. Senate with leftists to make their power and anti-American ideology permanent .
The Third World definition of democracy is `` One man , one vote , one time . ''
If they win on Nov. 3 , America 's democratic republic will die .
Or maybe Rush will ride to the rescue once again , uniting and uplifting patriotic Americans .
`` I 've never been a conformist .
I was hugely rebellious @ @ @ @ @ @ @ `` I hated school because it 's what everybody else had to do .
I hated being locked up from the second grade on in a room .
… The guy on the radio 's having fun ! ''
In 1951 in Missouri , America 's heartland , Rush was born into an influential lawyer family .
The paternal grandfather after whom he was named was U.S. ambassador to India under President Dwight Eisenhower .
Another close relative served on Missouri 's Supreme Court and then as U.S. District Judge for Eastern Missouri @ @ @ @ @ @ @ beginning at age 9 with his own toy short-distance transmitter .
In high school he hosted a local show on KGMO , co-owned by his father .
Later , at another station , he would do a passionate show and then sit quietly in a corner for hours after the `` On Air '' sign turned off .
He strove for his American dream , and with enormous effort and talent made it come true .
`` We need people free with liberty , '' Rush has said .
`` We need people @ @ @ @ @ @ @ This is how America became the most successful experiment in unifying people from the whole world around individual freedom of enterprise , of faith , of ideals and dreams .
Rush has done more than articulate American conservatism .
`` Rebellious '' Rush lives it , much like our revolutionary Founding Fathers , and his legacy keeps us on the right path .
And , he also has fun !
Lowell Ponte is a former Reader 's Digest Roving Editor .
His articles have appeared in the Wall Street Journal , the New @ @ @ @ @ @ @ His latest paper co-authored with Craig R. Smith , `` The Secret War , '' shows how to rethink several areas of investment to protect and grow your savings against little-known economic threats .

"The reason talk radio is mostly conservative and libertarian," said pioneering talk-radio host Barry Farber, "is because talk radio is the place where anyone can call in and have their say without being censored. You won't be allowed to speak freely in the New York Times or on MSNBC if you have traditional values."
Last Wednesday, tens of millions again tuned to their voice, Rush, to hear his passionate explanation of why President Donald Trump will win reelection on Nov. 3, if the vote is honest. His words were powerful, his mind sharp, but a painful health challenge seemed to add special concern to his message.
As Trump White House adviser Stephen Miller says, this election pits patriotism against globalism, and working-class Americans against an international ruling elite loyal only to its own power and self-aggrandizement.
TRENDING: Is this the 'Final Battle'?
Having fought lifelong for America's founding ideals, Rush must find it discouraging to realize that the opposition in this election is not solely the Democratic Party, hijacked by radical leftists.
Opposing President Trump are also self-serving "New World Order" Republican turncoats, including those of the Lincoln Project, who have pocketed millions by backstabbing this non-politician president who outsmarted them. One Lincoln Project founder signed a deal to receive $300,000 for a few months' consultation with the same Russians who gave Hillary Clinton $145 million for 20% of America's uranium; this "noble" never-Trump loser canceled his shameful deal only after journalists reported it.
But of the jackals circling lion Trump, the worst come from deep state institutions conservatives grew up respecting. When politicized FBI officials spy on Republicans to benefit Democrats, exploit what they know are fake documents paid for by Hillary Clinton and the Democratic National Committee, and collude with Democrats and their left-wing media comrades in a coup d'etat to overthrow our duly elected president, our government's integrity seems damaged beyond repair.
"Our Constitution was written for a moral and religious people," said John Adams. "It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other."
Are we still a moral, religious people? Or do too many now worship power, mammon and Marx? Has Joe Biden sold his soul and country for $1.5 billion from Communist China, one of his many self-enriching betrayals that stink of corruption? Why does the Establishment conceal Biden's potential criminality?
Biden and the Democratic Party have made clear that they intend to pack the Supreme Court and U.S. Senate with leftists to make their power and anti-American ideology permanent. The Third World definition of democracy is "One man, one vote, one time." If they win on Nov. 3, America's democratic republic will die.
Or maybe Rush will ride to the rescue once again, uniting and uplifting patriotic Americans.
"I've never been a conformist. I was hugely rebellious," said the bright-eyed conservative. "I hated school because it's what everybody else had to do. I hated being locked up from the second grade on in a room. … The guy on the radio's having fun!"
In 1951 in Missouri, America's heartland, Rush was born into an influential lawyer family. The paternal grandfather after whom he was named was U.S. ambassador to India under President Dwight Eisenhower. Another close relative served on Missouri's Supreme Court and then as U.S. District Judge for Eastern Missouri.
But Rush always loved radio, beginning at age 9 with his own toy short-distance transmitter. In high school he hosted a local show on KGMO, co-owned by his father. Later, at another station, he would do a passionate show and then sit quietly in a corner for hours after the "On Air" sign turned off. He strove for his American dream, and with enormous effort and talent made it come true.
"We need people free with liberty," Rush has said. "We need people pursuing – providing for themselves." This is how America became the most successful experiment in unifying people from the whole world around individual freedom of enterprise, of faith, of ideals and dreams.
Rush has done more than articulate American conservatism. "Rebellious" Rush lives it, much like our revolutionary Founding Fathers, and his legacy keeps us on the right path. And, he also has fun!

wnd--2020-10-22--If the 40 million Christians who don't vote did vote

Those non-voting Christians are a huge percentage (44%) of the 90 million eligible Christians (all denominations). How is it possible that so many who aspire to Christian moral responsibility are so cavalier about such a consequential civic responsibility, one that has such grave moral significance? To comprehend this threat, please read the evidence at every link and compare the differences between party platforms on these subjects: abortion, marriage, free expression of religion, limited government and preserving America's Christian heritage.
Who should better understand the urgency of this existential threat, with its eternal consequences, than liberty-loving Christians who see the true nature of what the Democratic Party advocates as anti-family, anti-Christian culture, increasingly anti-American and anti-God (the party's policies, not individual Democrats), and anti-civilization (pro-abortion, and tacitly approving rioting/looting/burning, often fomenting police-hatred, advocating abolishing/defunding police, etc.)? The Democratic Party is promoting Marxism.
If the threat of the Democratic Party's systemically Marxist policies/practices and promises doesn't motivate those non-voting Christians by itself, perhaps they will be persuaded by understanding the dire consequences of supporting that danger within the context of both of Jesus' pledge, first, to bless those who acknowledge him publicly (in this regard, politically) and, second, to condemn those who publicly deny him:
TRENDING: Is this the 'Final Battle'?
"… everyone who acknowledges me before men, I also will acknowledge before my Father …; but whoever denies me before men, I also will deny before my Father. …" – Matthew 10:32-33
The Democratic Party, which actually booed God at its 2012 convention, will certainly deny Jesus "before men" if its candidates control the government.
People who boo God deny that the founders actually dedicated the nation to Jesus Christ by officially, perpetually and gratefully "acknowledg[ing] [him] before men" ("before a candid world" in the Declaration of Independence) when they referenced him four times in the document, one being an undisguised prayer (see below). That acknowledgment obligated Jesus to acknowledge our nation "before [his] Father", thus, explaining America's massive blessings.
The founders acknowledged Jesus as:
the moral authority for independence in the Declaration's first sentence; the beneficent source of our unalienable rights and individual political sovereignty in the Declaration's second sentence; and when offering an undisguised prayer to Jesus (see below) for protection and guidance in that document's concluding paragraph – yes, the Constitution (which outlaws socialism) is one answer to those prayers; all of the above is the "American Theory of Government"; therefore, we are truly "one nation under [and dedicated to that] God."
This work is derived from my ebook, "America's Primal Prayer: Is Jesus Christ the God of the Declaration; Did the Founders Dedicate the Nation to Him; is the Constitution Woven From Christian Fabric; and Why it Matters." That ebook explains that we are "one nation under [and blessed by that] God" because America officially and perpetually acknowledges Jesus Christ "before men" in many ways, but specifically in the Declaration of Independence.
The reference to the "Supreme Judge of the world" in the concluding paragraph of the Declaration is a clear reference to Jesus Christ inserted into Jefferson's draft as an undisguised prayer by the Christians in Congress, the Declaration's actual author (because diests deny that God judges, they don't pray). That prayer to Jesus Christ clarifies Jefferson's less specific references to "Nature's God" and "Creator" (in the first and second sentences) and to Congress' prayer for "the protection of divine Providence" (in the Declaration's last sentence), with an explicit identification that Jesus Christ is the God to whom the nation perpetually prays for righteousness using his well-known biblical title:
"appealing [praying] to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude [righteousness] of our intentions. …" [Emphasis on Jesus' title, bracketed comments added.]
While the phrase, "one nation under God," wasn't added to the Pledge of Allegiance until 1954, it's an explicit reference to the historical fact of the Declaration's Christ-based "Chain of Delegated Authority" (God>man>servants in limited government), and of that Chain's manifestation in the symbiotically-linked Constitution as the unamendable "Liberty Equation" inherent in the American form of government—that our rights are a gift from God—which has a 240 year history of not being the theocracy the secular (godless) left falsely alleges.
Such an understanding desperately needs the political support of those non-voting, and Democratic voting, Christians. Voting would be an important way for them (and you?) to "acknowledge [Jesus] before men"" and, thus, revitalize the founders' official and perpetual acknowledgment of Jesus "before men" while also claiming Jesus' promise for themselves by politically opposing the Democratic Party's attack on the God-acknowledging American Theory of Government.
Consider these questions:
Does failing to vote at all constitute tacit support for the Democratic Party's naked attempt to fundamentally transform the United States of America, and is that failure to vote a denial of "America's Christian acknowledgment of Jesus" "before men" in the Declaration of Independence?
Will an actual vote for Democrats constitute an overt denial of Jesus "before men" such that it will mean that Jesus must deny "before [his] Father" all those who vote Democratic, including denying the nation if Democrats nationalize their denial of Jesus?
deny "before [his] Father" all those who vote Democratic, including denying the nation if Democrats nationalize their denial of Jesus? Will Jesus' denial "before [his] Father," if Democrats take us down that Marxist "path," mean that the blessing of our liberty-enhancing, limited form of government will be changed into their Orwellian "Democratic Socialism" (aka, Marxism)?
What are the personal consequences for each voter or non-voter of such a denial of Jesus "before men"?
Each person must decide and vote accordingly after reviewing this information.
America needs a revival of Christian Patriotism by those who vote and who know the 40 million Christians who don't vote (or the millions of Christians who vote Democratic) to motivate them to do their civic and Christian moral duty to vote and restore America's historical acknowledgment of Jesus "before men" ("before a candid world") and, thus, preserve his blessings on America, and save the nation from the godless, America-hating Marxism systemically infecting "before a candid world" today's Democratic Party.

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 .

Do n't fool yourselves .
This liberal trio knows the American electorate is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ elect someone with such a radical agenda , which is why it will continue trying to deceive voters until Nov. 3 .

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.

(WASHINGTON EXAMINER) -- Joe Biden took a Thursday night presidential debate answer a step too far when responding to President Trump’s claim that Biden’s health care plan would eliminate private insurance.
"The idea I want to eliminate private insurance — not one person with private insurance would lose their health insurance under my plan,” said the former vice president. "Nor did they under Obamacare. They did not lose their insurance unless they chose [that] they wanted to go to something else."
That is incorrect. Millions of policyholders with plans in the individual health insurance market saw their plans canceled in 2013 because they did not comply with Obamacare regulations. The policyholders did not choose to cancel their plans.
