Joe Biden Is In a World of Trouble
Story by Peter Suciu • 2h ago
The Unanswered Questions Surrounding Joe Biden's Classified Documents Scandal: What did he know, and when did he know it?
Those were questions asked by many 50 years ago this February as the United States Senate began to investigate the Watergate burglary.
The same questions have been used over the years with various political scandals – including now with President Joe Biden's classified documents.
Why Were Joe Biden's Lawyers Cleaning Out His Office?
This question was asked by American businessman Greg Orman in an op-ed for RealClearPolitics.com this week.
Orman noted that the official story doesn't hold up, especially as it suggests "middle-class Joe" employed his lawyers to "pack up" the president's former office at the Penn Biden Center.
"As many big-time East Coast lawyers now routinely charge $1,000 an hour, it's an awfully expensive packing crew," Orman wrote, and he suggested that the intent wasn't actually to "pack" but rather was to purge. The timing is noteworthy too, as it occurred just a week before the midterms, and could have been conducted in anticipation of a GOP-led investigation – as the Republicans were expected to take control of the House of Representatives.
Were the Lawyers Actually Allowed to Look For the Documents?
Another question is why Biden's attorneys were allowed to operate without the presence of any external official.
This was the case at both the Penn Biden Center and at his Delaware homes in Wilmington and Rehoboth Beach.
Numerous sources have noted that Biden's personal lawyers wouldn't have had security clearance to review any TS/SCI documents.
This one could be answered – at least in part. There were reportedly two sets of attorneys, and that included Biden's personal attorneys but also those from the White House counsel office, who owe a duty to the government of the United States and not personally to Joe Biden. Even if that is the case, one may still ask why the personal lawyers were on hand.

Did Joe Biden Actually "Self Report" as He Claims?
The president and his allies have maintained that Biden "self-reported" his wrongdoing – at least compared to how former President Donald Trump handled classified documents.
But one wrong doesn't make the other right, and certainly not in this case.
According to former federal prosecutor Andrew C. McCarthy in an opinion piece for TheHill.com wrote that Biden did not self-report, certainly not in the manner in which the president has suggested. McCarthy added that to "self-report" a crime, a person needs to report it to law enforcement. Biden didn't do that.
"A close look at the timeline elucidates that the White House hoped this issue would slip quietly into a black hole, with no publicity and no criminal investigation," McCarthy argued.
How Did the Documents End Up at the Penn Biden Center?
Multiple media reports, including those from 19FortyFive, have stated Biden used the office at his D.C.-based think tank after leaving the vice presidency.
Here is where McCarthy shed a bit more light on the issue, noting, "The Penn Biden Center did not open until February 2018. Joe Biden obviously took the documents when he left the Obama White House in 2017."
A follow-up question is where were the documents during the 13 months in between? And were they stored in Biden's garage next to the prized Corvette?
Can We Expect More Documents to be Found?
At this point, it seems unlikely additional classified documents will be found – the Biden offices are closed up, and the home has been searched (repeatedly) – but that won't make the questions go away.
The biggest question now is how we can take Biden seriously when he said, "I take classified documents and classified materials seriously."
Of course, it was also last summer that Biden asked the question: "How that could possibly happen," Biden said in response to Trump's mishandling of classified materials. "How one – anyone could be that irresponsible. And I thought – what data was in there that may compromise sources and methods ... And it's just – totally irresponsible."

“We have staked the whole future of American civilization not on the power of government, far from it. We have staked the whole of our political institutions upon the capacity of mankind for self-government, upon the capacity of each and all of us to govern ourselves according to the commandments of God.

Udder Nonsense Alan Joseph Ba | Jan 21, 202
The Left tends to ignore large swaths of data or technical considerations in order to get to a pre-approved “scientific” conclusion. Enron also hid its debts to paint a rosy economic picture, and we all know how that turned out.
The latest fad, pushed by the massive French yogurt company Danone, is to put diapers and masks on cows. The press reports made no mention of pacifiers. The ostensible idea is that cows, those indispensable sources of yogurt and ice cream, produce large amounts of methane both forward and aft. As anyone who has been awake for the past decade knows, methane is much, much worse than carbon dioxide in trapping reflected radiation and thus heating up our planet. While past attempts to deal with cow flatulence have included altering feed so as to produce less gas, the goal of the French is to trap the gases and prevent their release into the atmosphere. If one looks at pictures of the diapers, they by no means seem hermetic and I kind of wonder how efficient they will be in trapping CH4 molecules. While on the one hand I am glad that they have found a use for the leftover Covid masks (now selling in Israel at 10% of their peak price), I hope that the cows will still be able to recognize one another.

Justice Department tells House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan that it won't share information about ongoing criminal probes Story by insider@insider.com (John L. Dorman) Business Insider
The Justice Department informed House Republicans that it's unlikely the agency would share information about its ongoing criminal probes — a move likely to frustrate GOP leaders as they seek to scrutinize President Joe Biden.
The Department of Justice said in the letter — obtained by Politico on Friday — that it "stands ready" to work with congressional leaders, but told Republican House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan of Ohio that "any oversight requests must be weighed against the department's interests in protecting the integrity of its work."
"The Department's mission to independently and impartially uphold the rule of law requires us to maintain the integrity of our investigations, prosecutions, and civil actions, and to avoid even a perception that our efforts are influenced by anything but the law and the facts," the letter read.
"With respect to oversight requests for information and documents, we share your belief that congressional oversight is vital to our functioning democracy and we are committed to cooperating with the Committee's legitimate efforts to seek information, consistent with our obligation to protect Executive Branch confidentiality interests," the letter added."
- The DOJ told Jim Jordan it wouldn't be able to share all information about ongoing criminal probes.
- In a letter to Republicans, the DOJ said it needed to preserve the "integrity" of its investigations.
- "We are committed to cooperating with the Committee's legitimate efforts to seek information," the DOJ said.

This may sound like a good way to pay for the ILLEGALS but, is it? Would the career polititions see this as a way to restock the US coffers? They've already let a few million "immigrants in over the past couple of years, so how many more "non-working" illegals
would be allowed into the country? Especially if they're not working or taking jobs fron natural born citizens.
Two years into his presidency, President Joe Biden is finally starting to prioritize immigration policy. Over the past month, his administration has announced new proposals to make it easier for refugees and asylum-seekers to migrate legally to the United States.
That sounds like great news for our historically slow and rigid immigration system. But because of restrictions on how quickly immigrants can get to work and the way the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services is funded, the new proposals will end up hurting American businesses, as well as the very immigrants the Biden administration wants to help.
The Department of Homeland Security is now allowing asylum-seekers to enter the country via legal points of entry at the Mexican border. If they can demonstrate a “vulnerability” and pass a background check, Homeland Security will grant them a humanitarian visa and allow them to live permanently in the U.S.
Humanitarian visas are free for those applying for them, but processing large numbers of new immigrants isn’t easy or cheap, so the government needs to collect the money from somebody. Unlike other government agencies that chiefly rely on tax revenue to fund their operations, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services charges money directly to those who want to use their services. Possible immigrants (or their would-be employers) have to pay certain fees to get permission to move to and work within the U.S.
Because of this fee-for-service model, it makes sense for Citizenship and Immigration Services to offset rising costs due to an increase in humanitarian visas by increasing fees for other immigrants. Essentially, this means that foreign workers will be forced to subsidize the costs of processing poorer, nonworking immigrants.
And it has already begun. Earlier this month, Citizenship and Immigration Services announced that it wants to increase its fees and charge thousands of dollars, depending on the type of application. Because people must submit several different applications, it can wind up costing one worker $4,000 to $12,000 to complete the entire process. Some applications are already outrageously expensive. For example, a type of investor visa called the I-956 costs the applicant $17,795; Citizenship and Immigration Services wants to bump this up to an astounding $47,695.

COVID Whistleblower, Military Vet Suggests What's Really Behind Food Plant Fires By Joe Saunders January 19, 2023
And for Americans accustomed to living in relative peace and a land of plenty, it won’t be comforting.
Besides being a scientist, Huff’s personal biography bio states he is a combat veteran who served in Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom.
He is best known recently as the former vice president of the research group EcoHealth Alliance and author of the book “The Truth About Wuhan: How I Uncovered the Biggest Lie in History,” which argues that the COVID-19 pandemic resulted from a “genetically engineered agent” leaked from the Wuhan Institute of Virology in Wuhan, China.
That conclusion was considered official heresy in the early days of the pandemic, but the “lab leak theory” has never gone away.
Huff’s take on the destruction at food processing plants in the U.S. and around the world is just as explosive.
In an interview with Emerald Robinson, a journalist with the conservative RAIR Foundation (Rise Align Ignite Reclaim), on her podcast “The Absolute Truth with Emerald Robinson,” Huff said the spate of suspicious fires matches up eerily well with government data he’d accessed while working on his Ph.D
This Challenge To Illinois’ Gun Law Tees Up SCOTUS To Finally Nuke ‘Assault Weapons’ Bans By: Margot Cleveland...Jan 19, 2023
Here’s what you need to know about the case and current Second Amendment jurisprudence.
On Jan. 10, 2023, Illinois enacted a ban on the manufacturing, delivery, sale, purchase, or possession of so-called “assault weapons,” which is defined by statute to include any semi-automatic rifle “with the capacity to accept a magazine holding more than ten rounds of ammunition,” if the rifle possesses any one of several features, such as “a pistol grip or thumbhole stock,” a “folding, telescoping, thumbhole, or detachable stock,” or a “flash suppressor.” The Illinois statute also identifies dozens of rifles expressly banned as “assault weapons,” including all AK-type rifles, all AR-type rifles, several Barrett and Bushmaster rifles, along with a catalog of other guns.
Illinois’ recently enacted statute also makes it a crime to “manufacture, deliver, sell, purchase,” or “possess” magazines branded by the state as “large capacity ammunition” devices and referred to colloquially as “large-capacity magazines.” The statute categorizes magazines as “large capacity” if they can hold more than “10 rounds of ammunition for long guns and more than 15 rounds of ammunition for handguns.”
A group of individuals, gun businesses, and private organizations, including the Second Amendment Foundation, the Illinois State Rifle Association, and the Firearms Policy Coalition, filed suit on Tuesday against the Illinois attorney general, as well as several state prosecutors and law enforcement agents, arguing the statute violates the Second Amendment. On Wednesday, the case was assigned to federal Judge Stephen P. McGlynn, a Donald Trump appointee.
The lead attorney for the plaintiffs, David G. Sigale, told The Federalist he anticipates seeking a temporary restraining order or preliminary injunction “very soon,” noting that the statute has been in force since the governor signed the law on Jan. 10.
In seeking a temporary restraining order or a preliminary injunction, the plaintiffs will need to establish they have “a likelihood of success on the merits,” meaning they will likely prevail on their claim that the Illinois law violates the Second Amendment.

I was always under the impression that states cannot make laws to ban a certain gun. It's the BATF job.
Illinois banned assault weapons after a deadly mass shooting in the state. Now, some local sheriffs are refusing to enforce the law.
Story by insider@insider.com (Taylor Ardrey) • Yesterday
Research has shown that "red flag laws" can be an effective way to intervene in mass shooting threats, but knowing how many mass shootings it has stopped can be difficult to measure. Alex Brandon/AP© Alex Brandon/APThe Protect Illinois Communities Act was passed earlier this month, prompted by a July 4 mass shooting.
Some law enforcement officials argue the legislation violates the Second Amendment.
Multiple law enforcement agencies in the state of Illinois said that they would not enforce new legislation that bars sale of assault-style weapons, arguing it violates the Second Amendment, according to reports.
Sheriffs in Illinois counties, including DeKalb, LaSalle, DuPage, and McHenry, among others, have publicly made their stance about the Protect Illinois Communities Act, WABC-TV reported on Friday.
The legislation, which also bans the sale and manufacturing of high-capacity magazines, was passed earlier this month as an effort to prevent gun violence.
"We won't sacrifice safety, but at end of the day, we believe we have to do what is right for our own communities," McHenry County Sheriff Robb Tadelman told the outlet.
