thepoliticalinsider--2020-09-23--Gowdy Hammers Biden – If You Don’t Want Trump Picking Supreme Court Justices, Win An Election

Trey Gowdy responded to Joe Biden and Democrats upset about President Trump selecting a nominee to the Supreme Court by saying “ win an election.
” Gowdy , in an interview with “ Fox & Friends , ” was responding to suggestions that the replacement for Ruth Bader Ginsburg ’ s seat should be nominated the election .
“ If I win this election , ” Biden said , “ President Trump ’ s nominee should be withdrawn and , as the new president , I should be the one to nominate Justice Ginsburg ’ s successor.
” “ If @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Supreme Court nominees are , then win an election , ” he told Democrats .
“ You should have won in 2016.
” The former South Carolina congressman explained that Trump ’ s Constitutional duty to nominate a replacement extends through his entire term as President .
“ The reality is presidents are presidents for four years , ” Gowdy explained .
“ You don ’ t have a sliding scale of diminished power the closer you get to someone else ’ s inauguration , ” he added .
“ This is President @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s entitled to a vote.
” Ruth Bader Ginsburg ’ s own words from 2016 seem to support Gowdy ’ s contention that a President ’ s power lasts throughout his term .
“ The president is elected for four years not three years , so the power he has in year three continues into year four , ” she said to a group of law students at Georgetown University .
That said , according to NPR , Ginsburg dictated a statement to her granddaughter , Clara Spera .
“ My most fervent @ @ @ @ @ @ @ replaced until a new president is installed , ” she reportedly said .

He followed that up in 2013 by arguing that if one @ @ @ @ @ @ @ President does , there is a solution .
“ You don ’ t like a particular policy or a particular president ?
Then argue for your position .
Go out there and win an election , ” Obama stated .
“ Push to change it .
But don ’ t break it.
” President Trump concurred in comments made on the South Lawn of the White House just days ago .
“ We have an obligation .
We won .
And we have an obligation , as the winners , to pick who @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
“ That ’ s not the next President.
” “ Hopefully , I ’ ll be the next President .
But we ’ re here now … We have an obligation to the voters , all of the people — the millions of people that put us here in the form of a victory , ” he continued .

You know, Barack Obama was a disgrace as president. But we do take solace in the knowledge that in pennance for his traitorous sins he had to endure eight years of Joe Biden nipping at his heels like a mentally challenged schnauzer commenting on the glaringly obvious.

thepoliticalinsider--2020-09-23--Homeland Security Committee: Hunter Biden Received Millions From Ex-Moscow Mayor’s Wife

Editor ’ s Note : The headline of this article was updated to clarify that the claims against Hunter Biden originate from a report by the Senate Committee on Homeland Security .
A bombshell report claims questionable financial transactions between Hunter Biden and his associates involving his role on the Board of the Ukrainian natural gas firm Burisma Holdings .
Biden , the son of Democrat presidential nominee Joe Biden , engaged in “ extensive and complex financial transactions ” that were thoroughly analyzed by the Senate Homeland Security and Finance Committees .
The report was released on Wednesday by @ @ @ @ @ @ @ R-WI ) and Finance Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley ( R-IA ) .
It states that Hunter “ formed significant and consistent financial relationships ” with Mykola Zlochevsky , the founder of Burisma .
Additionally , Biden and his business partner Devon Archer ’ s firms “ made millions of dollars from that association ” while his father served as vice president .
The Senate and Finance committees claim that they have obtained records from the US Treasury Department .
Those records reportedly “ show potential criminal activity relating to transactions among and between @ @ @ @ @ @ @ his associates with Ukrainian , Russian , Kazakh and Chinese nationals.
” A documentary earlier this month narrated by Peter Schweizer , claims Hunter Biden ’ s numerous business deals in China “ served ” the communist country and their military .
“ This isn ’ t just another story about a politician ’ s kid getting rich , ” Schweizer said .
“ Hunter ’ s new firm started making investment deals that would serve the strategic interests of the Chinese military.
” The Senate Homeland Security and Finance Committees address concerns @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to the Chinese military .
One of the companies involved in the transaction was a private investment fund called Bohai Harvest RST ( BHR ) , where the son of the Democrat nominee for President was a board member .
Schweizer claimed that he had information suggesting the Bidens cooperated with Chinese partners to bypass certain laws .
By extension , this allowed them to acquire companies that helped the Chinese military excel in technology .
The report goes on to suggest that the Obama administration “ ignored the glaring warning signs ” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ board of Burisma .
Officials “ knew ” that Hunter ’ s position on the board was “ problematic.
” His “ position on the board created an immediate potential conflict of interest that would prove to be problematic for both U.S. and Ukrainian officials and would affect the implementation of Ukraine policy , ” according to the report .
When asked earlier this year how his role as Vice President and his son ’ s dealing in Ukraine were a conflict of interest , Joe Biden became enraged .
“ Let ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ he yelled , avoiding the question .
“ Focus on this man , what he ’ s doing , that no president has ever done .
No president !
” The media ‘ focused ’ on any mundane transaction involving Russia rather intently over the last few years .
Why wouldn ’ t they be just as interested that Biden ’ s financial transactions , according to this Senate report , include a $ 3.5 million wire transfer from Elena Baturina , the wife of the former mayor of Moscow ?
Republican strategist @ @ @ @ @ @ @ would be handling this explosive report a little differently if it had involved President Trump ’ s son .
Joe Biden spokesman Andrew Bates has been trying his best to divert attention from the news about Hunter ’ s financial transactions .
“ Ron Johnson has wasted months diverting the Senate Homeland Security & Governmental Affairs Committee away from any oversight of the catastrophically botched federal response to the pandemic , ” Bates told the New York Post .
Odd , Democrats weren ’ t concerned about attention and resources being diverted away @ @ @ @ @ @ @ their impeachment sham .

His “position on the board created an immediate potential conflict of interest that would prove to be problematic for both U.S. and Ukrainian officials and would affect the implementation of Ukraine policy,” according to the report.
When asked earlier this year how his role as Vice President and his son’s dealing in Ukraine were not a conflict of interest, Joe Biden became enraged.
“Let’s focus on the problem,” he yelled, avoiding the question. “Focus on this man, what he’s doing, that no president has ever done. No president!”

The media ‘focused’ on any mundane transaction involving Russia rather intently over the last few years.
Why wouldn’t they be just as interested that Biden’s financial transactions, according to this Senate report, include a $3.5 million wire transfer from Elena Baturina, the wife of the former mayor of Moscow?
Republican strategist Andrew Surabian openly wondered if the media would be handling this explosive report a little differently if it had involved President Trump’s son.
Can anyone in the media honestly deny that if this were Don Jr. instead of Hunter Biden that it would be the lead story on CNN right now and the front page of The New York Times and Washington Post? https://t.co/LzwDDF3TFV — Andrew Surabian (@Surabees) September 23, 2020
Joe Biden spokesman Andrew Bates has been trying his best to divert attention from the news about Hunter’s financial transactions.
“Ron Johnson has wasted months diverting the Senate Homeland Security & Governmental Affairs Committee away from any oversight of the catastrophically botched federal response to the pandemic,” Bates told the New York Post.
Odd, Democrats weren’t concerned about attention and resources being diverted away from the pandemic when they were conducting their impeachment sham.

But , not to let that particular cat out of the bag just yet , on Monday they erased that plan from their website .
But the noted it and rained on their parade by publicizing the threat to American families .
The site read before they scrubbed it , “ We disrupt the Western-prescribed nuclear family structure requirement… ” There you have it .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ it .
They are blatant about it .
So , they intend on “ disrupting ” many American families with their own radical Marxist indoctrination .
At least they did until it was brought to their attention that the threat wasn ’ t exactly smart public relations .

Black Lives Matter, the trendy Marxist terrorist group that spews racism and murders children, made it a point recently to tell America they plan to “disrupt” the American nuclear family.
But, not to let that particular cat out of the bag just yet, on Monday they erased that plan from their website. But the Washington Examiner noted it and rained on their parade by publicizing the threat to American families.
Black Lives Matter Is Coming For American Families
The site read before they scrubbed it, “We disrupt the Western-prescribed nuclear family structure requirement…” There you have it. They don’t try and sugarcoat it. They are blatant about it.
So, they intend on “disrupting” many American families with their own radical Marxist indoctrination. At least they did until it was brought to their attention that the threat wasn’t exactly smart public relations.
But is their goal something to work towards? Is the classic American nuclear family a bygone relic that should be scrapped?

The report is called ‘The Demise of the Happy Two-Parent Home’ and explains why this trend is nothing to celebrate: Researchers have well established that children raised by married parents do better on a wide array of outcomes.

This is not to say that those brought up in different situations cannot thrive and prosper. But study after study shows children do better in a traditional family setting.

Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody stood by her call to open an investigation into Mike Bloomberg , who is allegedly paying the fines of black and Hispanic felons in Florida to allow them to vote .
“ A More Cost-Effective Way Of Adding Votes To The Biden Column ” On Tuesday , it was revealed that the billionaire Bloomberg , the former mayor of New York and failed Democratic presidential candidate , raised $ 16 million for the program to pay the fines and fees .
The effort is specifically designed to raise votes for Joe Biden .
A Bloomberg @ @ @ @ @ @ @ mayor saw the donations as “ a more cost-effective way of adding votes to the Democratic column than investing money to persuade voters who already have the right to vote.
” Ashley Moody , Florida ’ s Attorney General , called for an investigation into the funds .
The move came after Representative Matt Gaetz claimed that under Florida law “ it ’ s a third-degree felony for someone to either directly or indirectly provide something of value to impact whether or not someone votes.
” Speaking to Fox and Friends on Thursday @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for an investigation into Bloomberg .
“ When you look at the memo and what was alleged , when you hear words like we need to get this done , investing money to targeted particular group of voters that may be predisposed to vote a certain way , that raises concerns that you are directly influencing or even indirectly giving money to persuade votes to go a certain way , ” Moody said .
“ That doesn ’ t matter what party it is that triggers Florida law .
Under Florida law , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ anything of value to persuade or entice a vote , ” she continued .
“ And so , as attorney general , and I believe any official charged with enforcing elections law , we have to be clear about what we are doing , which is why when I asked for further investigation , I attached all the relevant law , even opinions that describe if you target even particular voters that may be predisposed to vote a particular way , that may be illegal , ” she added .
Moody said that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ federal law .
“ Americans need to know that no stone will be left unturned and investigations will proceed so that they can trust in these elections , ” she argued .
CNN reports that the fund is meant for a felons voting rights group , the Florida Rights Restoration Coalition .
As could be expected , a spokesman for Bloomberg claimed that the effort was totally on the up-and-up .
Bloomberg spokesman Jordan Schechter said of the complaint , “ This transparent political ploy is just the latest example of Republicans attempting @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Fox News , President Trump said that Bloomberg ’ s donation is “ totally illegal.
” Speaking on the “ Brian Kilmeade Show ” on Thursday , he labelled the donations as a “ total criminal act.
” It seems pretty clear that there is enough to go on for the Attorney General to investigate these donation tactics at the very least .

Bloomberg spokesman Jordan Schechter said of the complaint, “This transparent political ploy is just the latest example of Republicans attempting to keep Floridians disenfranchised.”
Trump: Bloomberg’s Actions “Totally Illegal”
According to Fox News, President Trump said that Bloomberg’s donation is “totally illegal.” Speaking on the “Brian Kilmeade Show” on Thursday, he labelled the donations as a “total criminal act.” I have to agree, Mr President. It seems pretty clear that there is enough to go on for the Attorney General to investigate these donation tactics at the very least.
