Valerie Biden Owens, the sister of former Vice President Joe Biden, sent millions of dollars from his campaigns to her consulting firm, a new book has revealed.
Two and a Half Million Dollars
Peter Schweizer, the investigative journalist and author of the best-selling book, “Clinton Cash,” which exposed the corruption of the Clintons and sparked an FBI investigation into the pair, has come out with a new book, “Profiles in Corruption: Abuse of Power by America’s Progressive Elite.” The book documents the financial arrangements of “the nation’s top progressives – politicians who strive to acquire more government power to achieve their political ends,” including the Biden family.
RELATED: Biden: “Transgender Equality is the Civil Rights Issue of Our Time”
Schweizer not only delved into the already known links between Biden and his son Hunter, and his dealings in Ukraine, but the complex arrangement that his sister, Valerie, has had with his many campaigns over the years. As his campaign manager, Biden Owens worked closely with her brother for years, while working as a senior partner at Slade White & Company, the “political messaging” firm.
Schweizer writes that the lines became blurred when SW&C “received large fees from the Biden campaigns that Valerie was running.” Around two and a half million dollars in “consulting fees” went to her firm from Citizens for Biden and Biden For President Inc in his 2008 presidential bid.
“Keep in mind that Joe Slade White & Company worked for Biden campaigns over eighteen years,” Schweizer highlighted.
Corruption Runs Deep Within the Bidens
In the book, Schweizer details further the intricate financial connections between Joe Biden, Biden Owens, his son Hunter Biden, and his two brothers, Frank and James Biden. James Biden’s firm received $1.5 billion worth of government contracts, despite having zero relevant experience in the international arena, and Frank Biden was linked to projects that received $54 million in government loans under the Obama administration.
“These are not a few disparate enterprises, but rather moneymaking ventures that appear to be part of a well-organized family business,” he argued.

In August 2019, Biden told reporters that “I’ve never discussed with my son or my brother, or anyone else anything having to do with their businesses, period,” which Schweizer described as an “impossibility.”
Do these new allegations take anyone by surprise? I’m certainly not shocked. The Bidens are corrupt to the absolute core, just like the Clintons. The upper echelons of the Democrat Party are filled with fraudsters and scammers, willing to use their power and connections to fleece the American taxpayer for all they’re worth.
Instead of the media focusing on the ridiculous claims against President Trump, why aren’t they looking into these allegations? We know why – because they all protect themselves. I just hope there are some serious investigations into this by some government agencies, and that Schweizer and people like him continue their good work in bringing this all to light.

Tucker Carlson ripped into John Bolton, the “disgraced” former National Security Advisor to the President, on his show, comparing him to a snake.
“Because I’m a Snake”
On Sunday, the New York Times reported that John Bolton’s new book contains sections that will help the Democrats in their quest to impeach the President. In his book, Bolton claims that the president did in fact delay military aid to Ukraine in order to pressure them to investigate Joe Biden and his son Hunter’s business dealings in the country.

“Republicans in Washington seem shocked that Bolton has turned around and betrayed his former boss, Donald Trump, but they shouldn’t be shocked,” he argued. “That’s who John Bolton is. That’s who John Bolton has always been. That’s what John Bolton does.”
“Bolton Wanted War with Iran”
The question some may ask is, if Bolton hated Trump so much, why did he join his administration? Carlson had a simple answer for that.
“Bolton wanted war with Iran. He’s always wanted war with Iran. He’s obsessed with it,” he said. Back in 2017, Bolton told a conference that “the declared policy of the United States of America should be the overthrow of the mullah’s regime in Tehran.”

“Bolton finally left in well-deserved humiliation,” he said. “Bolton’s resignation was one of the highlights of the president’s first term, a day of celebration for normal people everywhere.”

Ditchey wondered why anyone would get on a helicopter in these kind of “very scary conditions.”

The experienced pilot went on to explain that the helicopter likely crashed because of the decreased visibility that stemmed from the fog in Glendale.

Evan Rachel Wood , who is best known for starring in the HBO television series “ Westworld , ” has found herself in hot water this week after she called late NBA star Kobe Bryant a “ rapist ” hours after his death on Sunday .
Bryant tragically passed away on Sunday at the age of 41 in a helicopter crash that also killed his 13 year-old daughter Gianna as well as seven other people .
Just hours later , Wood took it upon herself to say that Bryant was both a “ sports hero ” and a “ rapist @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 444,000 followers .
“ What has happened is tragic .
I am heartbroken for Kobe ’ s family .
He was a sports hero .
He was also a rapist .
And all of these truths can exist simultaneously , ” Wood tweeted .
Wood ’ s tweet refers to allegations stemming from 2003 , when a 19 year-old woman accused Bryant of choking and sexually assaulting her in a hotel room in Colorado , according to The Daily Beast .
After being arrested , Bryant admitted to cheating on his wife with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ encounter in the hotel room was consensual .
All charges against Bryant were later dropped when the woman refused to testify against him in court , instead choosing to hear an apology from him that was read by his lawyer .
Despite the fact that the charges against Bryant were dropped , Wood still decided to portray him as a “ rapist ” less than a full day after his passing .

Twitter users were still having none of it , however .
For Wood to defame a man hours after his death and that of his child based on allegations from seventeen years ago that were eventually dropped in a court of law is truly beyond the pale .
Her tweet is also especially hypocritical coming from someone who works in the industry of Hollywood , which turned a blind eye to the sexual deviances of someone @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Wood owes the entire Bryant family an apology , and she deserves all of the social media backlash that she is receiving .

And this is where the Me too movement has gotten out of control… attacking a man who literally just died less than 24 hours ago, with his little girl!

Beloveds, this was not a condemnation or a celebration. It was a reminder that everyone will have different feelings and there is room for us all to grieve together instead of fighting. Everyone has lost. Everyone will be triggered, so please show kindness and respect to all. — #EvanRachelWould (@evanrachelwood) January 27, 2020
Twitter users were still having none of it, however.
We didnt need a "reminder". You used the death of a man & his daughter to get clout from the #metoo movement. You used allegations, not an actual conviction to disrespect a black icon on the day of his death. This is why your brand of feminism makes us all look like a joke — Maria M (@mariapaalbergm) January 27, 2020
My point is you wouldn't say this to his wife and kids. You're hiding behind your keyboard just as much as the trolls. With you being high profile they may well see it. — Daniel Scott (@DanielScott128) January 27, 2020
You showed no "respect' or "kindness". When you defamed a dead Black Man who died tragically w/ his daughter & other ppl. Don't play passive/aggressive now. Being empathetic goes against your demonic nature of course. So,your smear comes as NO surprise. We won't forget. #RIPKobe — Onyx Paradigm⚡👊🏿💪🏿⚡ (@C_Rich75) January 27, 2020
For Wood to defame a man hours after his death and that of his child based on allegations from seventeen years ago that were eventually dropped in a court of law is truly beyond the pale. Her tweet is also especially hypocritical coming from someone who works in the industry of Hollywood, which turned a blind eye to the sexual deviances of someone like disgraced producer Harvey Weinstein for decades.
Wood owes the entire Bryant family an apology, and she deserves all of the social media backlash that she is receiving.

The trial of disgraced Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein continued to escalate on Monday as a former assistant on the reality show “Project Runway” broke down while testifying about the sexual assault she allegedly suffered at his hands.
Mimi Haleyi told the New York City court that she tried to fight Weinstein off, saying that she kept saying “no, no, no” as he assaulted her, according to USA Today.
“I did reject him, but he insisted,” Haley testified. “Every time I tried to get off the bed, he would push me back and hold me down.”

Haleyi, who is one of two women whose allegations make up the current case against Weinstein in New York, said that she had gone to the movie producer’s Soho apartment back in 2006 in a car he sent for her. She thought that she was going to meet with him about working on one of his movies, but instead, she said that Weinstein pushed her on a bed at his home and forcibly engaged in sexual acts despite her repeated protests.
Haleyi went on to say that she recalled thinking “I’m being raped” during the attack. She also remembered asking herself, “If I scream rape, will someone hear me?” before she finally simply “checked out.”
“I couldn’t get away from him at all. … I checked out and decided to endure it,” she told the court. “That was the safest thing I could do.”
Earlier today, the court heard the testimony of Elizabeth Entin, who was Haleyi’s roommate at the time of the alleged attack. Entin testified that Haley told her about the assault as soon as it happened.
“And she came in, and he started rubbing her shoulders, kissing her, and she said no, no, and he wouldn’t stop, and she said, ‘I’m on my period,’ and he said, ‘I don’t care,’ at which point, he threw her down … and started (assaulting) her as she was saying no,” Entin told the court.
Entin remembered telling her roommate, “Miriam, that sounds like rape. … Why don’t you call a lawyer?”
“She still just seemed very distraught and was shaking and didn’t really want to pursue it or talk about it,” she explained. “She wasn’t very present.”

Weinstein is currently facing five charges in New York related to his alleged crimes against Haleyi and one other woman. He has plead not guilty to all charges, denying that any of his sexual encounters with the women were nonconsensual.
Prior to being hit with numerous sexual assault charges, Weinstein was one of the most powerful men in Hollywood. He was also a major donor to the Democratic Party who had close ties to lawmakers like Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.

Ivanka Trump just let loose on CNN over a segment on Don Lemon ’ s show in which a panel viciously mocked Trump supporters .
Ivanka tweeted the clip from Saturday night early this morning along with the caption , “ You consistently make fun of half the country and then complain that it is divided .
The arrogance , mocking accents and smug ridicule of this nation ’ s ‘ Real Elites ’ is disgusting.
” The clip shows Lemon , CNN contributor Wajahat Ali , and ex-Republican strategist Rick Wilson using offensive southern accents to mock Trump supporters @ @ @ @ @ @ @ claim that Trump and his “ credulous boomer rube ” would not even be able to find Ukraine on a map .
Lemon laughed so hard as his colleagues brutally made fun of the intelligence of Trump supporters during the segment that he struggled to hold back tears .

The clip shows Lemon, CNN contributor Wajahat Ali, and ex-Republican strategist Rick Wilson using offensive southern accents to mock Trump supporters. Wilson went so far as to claim that Trump and his “credulous boomer rube” would not even be able to find Ukraine on a map.
Lemon laughed so hard as his colleagues brutally made fun of the intelligence of Trump supporters during the segment that he struggled to hold back tears.

Wilson continued , saying that the Trump administration is defined by “ ignorance of the world , which is partly him playing to their base and playing to their audience , ” who Wilson described as the “ credulous boomer rube demo.
” Wilson and Ali both started putting on southern accents , and mocking Trump supporters , saying things like , “ you elitists with your geography and your maps , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ them elitists know where Ukraine is !
” Lemon continued to laugh during this time , and made no effort to speak out about their mockery .
There was a massive backlash online to their comments , with many pointing out that it showed what the media elites really think of genuine Americans .
Even President Trump joined in , writing that “ Don Lemon [ is ] the dumbest man on television !
” Lemon took a minute out of his show on Tuesday night , saying that it was “ personally @ @ @ @ @ @ @ controversy .
“ Ask anyone who knows me , they ’ ll tell you .
I don ’ t believe in belittling people , belittling anyone , for who they are , what they believe or where they ’ re from , ” Lemon said .
“ During an interview on Saturday night , one of my guests said something that made me laugh .
And while in the moment , I found that joke humorous .
And I didn ’ t catch everything that was said .
Just to make this perfectly @ @ @ @ @ @ @ joke and not at any group of people.
” RELATED : CNN ’ s Don Lemon Insists Anyone Supporting Trump At This Point is ‘ Mental ’ I don ’ t believe a single word that came out of his mouth .

“You Elitists with Your Geography and Your Spelling!”
On Saturday, Lemon played host on his show to Rick Wilson, the former Republican strategist who’s turned tail and fled to be one of the left’s “conservative” commentators, and Wajahat Ali, a CNN commentator. Wilson cracked a joke, claiming that President Trump “couldn’t find Ukraine on a map if you had a letter U and a picture of an actual physical crane next to it,” which caused Lemon to burst out laughing.
Wilson continued, saying that the Trump administration is defined by “ignorance of the world, which is partly him playing to their base and playing to their audience,” who Wilson described as the “credulous boomer rube demo.” Wilson and Ali both started putting on southern accents, and mocking Trump supporters, saying things like, “you elitists with your geography and your maps, and your spelling,” and “only them elitists know where Ukraine is!” Lemon continued to laugh during this time, and made no effort to speak out about their mockery.

Lemon took a minute out of his show on Tuesday night, saying that it was “personally important” to him to address the controversy.
“Ask anyone who knows me, they’ll tell you. I don’t believe in belittling people, belittling anyone, for who they are, what they believe or where they’re from,” Lemon said. “During an interview on Saturday night, one of my guests said something that made me laugh.

I don’t believe a single word that came out of his mouth. It’s clear to me that just like the rest of the liberal media elite, Don Lemon despises anyone who supports President Trump. If he truly was concerned about not “belittling” anyone, then why did he let his two guests go on and not immediately apologise for them ridiculing Trump voters?
I can tell you something now – if this was flipped the other way around, he wouldn’t let a conservative get away with saying that “oh I didn’t catch everything that was said,” if they had made off-color comments about one of the Democrats’s protected classes. This apology is fake, and is only happening because of the rightly deserved backlash.

The Democrats don ’ t give a damn what John Bolton or anybody else might say ; they know it won ’ t affect the outcome at all .
