Is it Dr. Jill - or the 'Big Guy' himself? Speculation builds as GOP prepares to reveal the fourth Biden to receive a $70,000 cash payout from the Chinese - besides Hunter, Joe's brother Jim and Beau's widow Hallie

Is it  Dr. Jill or the 'Big Guy?' GOP set to reveal fourth Biden to receive foreign cash
James Comer has revealed money from Hunter's Chinese oil giant business partners was wired to Hunter, Jim Biden, Hallie Biden, and a fourth Biden. Speculation is building that the fourth Biden could be First Lady Jill - or the President himself. James Comer is working on obtaining further bank documents to unmask the fourth family member who received $70,000. Another potential recipient of the 'Biden' wire transfer is Jim's wife Sara Biden, who was involved in the Chinese deal and received cash via her and Jim's company Lion Hall GP.

My reading of it is, this law goes fully the opposite way, and prevents anybody from receiving healthcare services to go trans before they reach 18. I'm sure if the liberals were in charge they would come up with something equally stupid, like gender is no longer allowed in the educational system and everybody has to pretend to be non-binary. This Is a good example of legislators spending time posturing since they know Andy is going veto it anyway. Ya know, instead of worrying about things like opioid deaths.

Ida know, I just say people should live their lives the way they see fit with a minimum of legislative interference.

CNN’s Burnett admits that evidence of Chinese funneling money to Biden family ‘doesn’t look good’

CNN anchor Erin Burnett admitted that revelations showing members of the Biden family received over a million dollars from accounts linked to Hunter Biden’s Chinese business associates certainly don’t "look good" for the embattled Hunter Biden and his family as they face government investigations into their alleged corruption.

During an episode of CNN’s "Erin Burnett OutFront" the host brought up subpoenaed financial records obtained by the House Oversight Committee showing that money from Joe Biden’s son was funneled to several members of the Biden family, including James Biden, and Beau Biden’s widow.

Burnett asked her guest "Just Security" co-editor-in-chief Ryan Goodman about the revelations and admitted to him that any lay person who sees these payoffs are going to think they don’t "look good."

Joe Biden 'took FOURTEEN HOURS to tell Congress Iran-backed militants had launched strike on US base in Syria that killed US contractor' - as GOP claims it's because he wanted bill pushed through first

Republicans are accusing Joe Biden of taking nearly 14 hours to tell Congress about the strike by Iran proxies that killed an American contractor and injured US troops.

The GOP sources, speaking to NBC News, believe the president waited to alert them to the strike - which he authorized a retaliation for - to push through amendments to a proposed repeal of the AUMF bill which allows him to authorize military force.

The drone attack took place at around 6:38 a.m. ET on Thursday. Congress did not learn about it until about 8 p.m. that evening, the insiders claimed.

Republicans said they believe the Biden administration wanted to let the Senate vote on amendments including ones that would affect the president's ability to authorize force on Iran.

One of the amendments the sources cited was proposed by Senator Dan Sullivan, a Republican from Alaska, which many believe won't get a vote.

It would keep the president's ability to 'respond rapidly and decisively to threats by the Government of Iran or its proxy forces.'

They also pointed out that Central Commander General Michael 'Erik' Kurilla spoke before the House of Representatives Thursday with knowledge of the strike but did not mention it during testimony.

'Prior to his posture testimony, General Kurilla was aware of the facts... It would have been inappropriate for him to mention the attack during the hearing given that the Families of the killed and wounded had not yet been notified,' a CENTCOM spokesperson said in a statement.

Lawmakers sue to block third-party from ballot in bid to protect President Biden's re-election

(Excerpt)

After campaigning on fighting for democracy, the Arizona Democratic Party is reportedly suing to stop a third-party organization from accessing the state's presidential ballot in the 2024 election.

The lawsuit targets No Labels, a centrist group that aims to give voters a non-extreme presidential option next year and has secured ballot access in three states, including Arizona. Democratic officials will file a complaint Thursday in state court in Phoenix alleging that Secretary of State Adrian Fontes, a Democrat, erroneously accepted signature petitions from the group, The Washington Post reported.

Our military is in a dangerous decline and this is the reason why

The U.S. Armed Forces have one mission: to protect our nation from foreign enemies. Our troops are as committed to that mission as ever before. But according to a bracing new report, our warriors’ ability to do their job is being undermined by civilian leaders more interested in woke indoctrination and partisan politics than warfighting readiness.

"The Report of the National Independent Panel on Military Service and Readiness" is an urgent warning about creeping politicization at the Pentagon and its corrosive impact on America’s national defense. As the report details, the Biden administration’s whole-of-government embrace of woke politics is becoming a dangerous distraction for servicemen and women who signed up to protect and defend, not virtue-signal.

US military is not in a decline. Its just generals fishing from more money from politicians.

US military is the strongest in the world by a huge margin.

I saw something about the new USS Gerald R Ford the other night. USS John F Kennedy is currently being built. Price tag is 12-15 billion dollars each and they take years to build. More if they talk you into the extended warranty when you check out.

We've already just handed away about two of those carriers worth of $$ to Ukraine.

We seem to have a propensity for being unprepared for the next conflict. Or were maybe, like in Korea. Since then most conflicts we involve ourselves in are created for the benefit of the military industrial complex Ike warned us about.

Blames Trump, its so pathetic its almost parody level funny...:laugh8:

Biden admin review of Afghanistan withdrawal repeatedly blames Trump

The White House on Thursday released its review of President Biden's fumbled withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021, dropping the long-awaited report days before the Easter holiday while former President Donald Trump's indictment dominates headlines.

In a 12-page outline, Biden officials defend the president's decision to withdraw, calling his decision to end the two decades-long war "the right thing for the country." The report does not appear to acknowledge any mistakes made by Biden. However, the document repeatedly criticizes the Trump administration for constraining the conditions of American evacuation, during which 13 American soldiers died in a suicide bombing while protecting the Kabul airport.

The review does acknowledge that the evacuation of Americans and allies from Afghanistan should have started sooner, but blames the delays on the Afghan government and military, and on U.S. military and intelligence community assessments.

"President Biden’s choices for how to execute a withdrawal from Afghanistan were severely constrained by conditions created by his predecessor," the document states.

From Dailymail...

Biden administration review of botched 2021 Afghanistan withdrawal - in which 13 US servicemen were killed - blames TRUMP, while NSC spokesman says: 'For all this talk of chaos, I just didn't see it'


The White House released its congressionally-mandated post-mortem of the Afghanistan withdrawal Thursday in a report that heavily blamed the Trump administration for the chaos. 'President Biden's choices for how to execute a withdrawal from Afghanistan were severely constrained by conditions created by his predecessor,' the White House report read. It then went on to give other reasons for pulling out, including 'America's goal was never to nation-build' and saying the U.S. presence there had 'unclear objectives and no end in sight.'
