first off, carmine is a troll on this thread and no one need or should respond to him.
second off, "bear witness central' is so obscure that it doesn't even make it onto media bias measurement sites. It's just words on the internet that should not be read or believed.
PS I'll talk to Carmine on the Dow thread but not this one.
You are here: Home / A-Blog / Essentials / 13 Times Joe Biden Was Involved in Family Business Corruption 13 TIMES JOE BIDEN WAS INVOLVED IN FAMILY BUSINESS CORRUPTION July 10, 2022 by BWC President Joe Biden was involved in his corrupt family business at least 13 times over nine years. While Joe Biden and his staff have claimed seven times the president has had no part in the family business, overwhelming evidence suggests Joe Biden has not just been involved in the family business but has played a key role with his son Hunter and brother James. The evidence includes photos of Joe Biden meeting family business partners, Hunter’s former business partner’s testimony about Joe Biden’s involvement, Joe Biden flying to foreign countries to meet with Hunter’s business partners, and a voice recording of Joe Biden calling Hunter about a Chinese business deal. The evidence has convinced 58 percent of voters that Joe Biden has played a role in his family’s business. Sixty percent say Hunter Biden, a key member of the family enterprise, has sold “influence and access” to Joe Biden. One: In 2019, Hunter’s “laptop from hell” revealed in texts the Biden family’s payout vehicle. The mechanism includes a collection of 50 percent of familial salaries for 30 years. For instance, Hunter has reportedly paid thousands of dollars for Joe Biden’s house repairs from the money obtained from selling access to Joe Biden. “I hope you all can do what I did and pay for everything for this entire family for 30 years,” Hunter described in texts to his daughter. “It’s really hard. But don’t worry, unlike Pop [Joe], I won’t make you give me half your salary.” Two: In 2018, Joe Biden left Hunter Biden a voicemail about a business deal with Chinese energy giant CEFC. The voicemail detailed Joe Biden’s worry that sensitive information was included in a New York Times article about Hunter’s involvement with CEFC’s chairman Ye Jianming, who was arrested in China on bribery charges. “Hey pal, it’s Dad. It’s 8:15 on Wednesday night. If you get a chance just give me a call. Nothing urgent. I just wanted to talk to you,” Joe Biden said. “I thought the article released online, it’s going to be printed tomorrow in the Times, was good. I think you’re clear. And anyway if you get a chance give me a call, I love you,” the message concluded. Three: Between 2009 and 2017, according to White House visitor logs obtained by the New York Post, Hunter’s corrupt business partner, Eric Schwerin, met with Joe Biden at the White House 19 times between 2009 and 2015. Joe Biden was vice president during this time. Schwerin was the president of the infamous but now-dissolved investment fund Rosemont Seneca Partners. Four: In 2017, Tony Bobulinski, Hunter’s former business partner, met twice with Joe Biden to discuss a business deal with China. “I directly dealt with the Biden family, including Joe Biden,” Bobulinski stated. Five: After Bobulinski met with Joe Biden, brother Jim Biden, and Hunter to discuss their deal in China, Bobulinski messaged James, telling him to “thank Joe for his time.” Six: In 2017, Hunter described Joe Biden as one of his “new office mates” after he “went into business with the CEFC executive,” the Washington Post reported. Hunter had a key made for Joe Biden to use at the House of Sweden in Georgetown. The Post reported: On Sept. 21, 2017, Hunter Biden wrote to a building manager requesting new office signage to reflect a new family enterprise and a new business relationship: “The Biden Foundation and Hudson West (CEFC-US),” he wrote in emails to the property manager. He also requested keys for his new office mates: his father, Joe; his mother, Jill; his uncle James; and the Chinese executive, Gongwen Dong. As part of the request, he provided what he said was his father’s cellphone number, saying an office representative could use it to contact his new office mates. Seven: In 2017, Joe Biden wrote a college recommendation letter for a child of Hunter’s Chinese business partner, Jonathan Li, with whom Joe Biden met in China. Li is CEO of BHR, the same company linked to Chinese oil interests and in which the Biden administration reportedly sold 950,000 barrels of oil from the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve. Hunter’s attorney told the Times that Joe Biden’s son left BHR’s board in 2020. Eight: In 2016, Joe and Hunter Biden flew aboard Air Force Two to Mexico, where Hunter met with his business associates from Mexico City. On the trip, Jeff Cooper, who ran a large litigation firm, SimmonsCooper, invested $1 million in Hunter and James’ now defunct hedge fund. The New York Post reported: SimmonsCooper also put up $1 million in investment capital for Hunter and his uncle Jim [James] Biden’s abortive attempt to run a hedge fund in 2009. When the venture ended, the Bidens returned the money. Cooper joined the VP’s entourage on Air Force Two to Mexico in 2016, when he and Hunter were trying to negotiate an ill-fated petroleum deal with Aleman Magnani. At 6 p.m. on Feb. 24, 2016, about an hour after “wheels up” from Joint Base Andrews on the five-hour flight to Mexico City, Hunter wrote a plaintive email to Aleman Magnani using Air Force Two’s secure, high-speed satellite communications channel. He blind-copied Cooper. Nine: In 2015, Hunter brought Joe Biden to dinner with his business associates from Ukraine, Russia, and Kazakhstan to a popular Washington, DC, restaurant. Joe Biden was vice president at the time. The New York Post reported: Online photos of the interior of Cafe Milano match the background of the shot that shows the Bidens smiling while flanked by Kazakhstani oligarch Kenes Rakishev and Karim Massimov, a former prime minister of Kazakhstan. Ten: In 2015, the day after Joe Biden met with Hunter’s foreign business partners at Cafe Milano from Ukraine, Russia, and Kazakhstan, one of the men emailed Hunter his thanks for the “opportunity to meet your father.” The New York Post reported: The never-before-revealed meeting is mentioned in a message of appreciation that Vadym Pozharskyi, an adviser to the board of Burisma, allegedly sent Hunter Biden on April 17, 2015, about a year after Hunter joined the Burisma board at a reported salary of up to $50,000 a month. “Dear Hunter, thank you for inviting me to DC and giving an opportunity to meet your father and spent [sic] some time together. It’s realty [sic] an honor and pleasure,” the email reads. An earlier email from May 2014 also shows Pozharskyi, reportedly Burisma’s No. 3 exec, asking Hunter for “advice on how you could use your influence” on the company’s behalf. Eleven: In 2014, a photo reveals Joe Biden golfing with his son Hunter and Devon Archer, Hunter’s fellow board member at Ukrainian gas company Burisma. Archer is now in prison for fraud. “The photograph includes a fourth man who has not been identified. However, he is not Burisma’s top executive Taras Burdeinyi or founder Mykola Zlochevsky. Photographs of both men can be seen here and here,” Reuters reported. Twelve: In 2014, photos show Joe Biden meeting with Hunter’s Mexican business associates, billionaire Miguel Alemán Velasco and his son Miguel Aleman Magnani, in the vice president’s office. “The then-vice president also flew Hunter and his partner Jeff Cooper on Air Force 2 to Mexico City in 2016 where Hunter arranged to meet Alemán’s son for meetings over a ‘flippin gigantic’ business deal,” the Daily Mail reported. Thirteen: In 2013, Hunter flew to China with his father aboard Air Force Two. During the excursion, Hunter introduced Joe Biden to his Chinese business partner Li, who is the CEO of the same company linked to Chinese oil interests and in which the Biden administration reportedly sold 950,000 barrels of oil from the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve. Ten days later after the visit, China issued Hunter’s firm a business license and the firm won an investment worth $1 billion. The New York Post reported: Ten days later, Hunter’s company inked a deal with the state-owned Bank of China and created the $1 billion investment fund called Bohai Harvest RST (BHR), according to reporting by Peter Schweizer, president of the Government Accountability Institute and the best-selling author of “Secret Empires: How the American Political Class Hides Corruption and Enriches Family and Friends.” A representative for BHR told The New Yorker in July 2019 that Hunter Biden introduced his father to Chinese private equity executive Jonathan Li during the trip. Li later became the CEO of BHR.
Not listening to libs any longer. See you in November.
Go watch Colbert or something. Go make a movie. Go win an Oscar. OOOOOH, go visit a Disney Park. Go spend 5 dollars for a gallon of gas and tell yourself how lucky you are. Go defend some “president” who shakes hands with invisible people. Go try to vote 81 million times. Go mostly peacefully demonstrate in support of some criminal.
Hey look, apparently the ONLY people who can see Trump for what he SO obviously is are bleeding heart Hollywood liberals. Funny, I'm not close to one of those, and I easily pull it off. Why can't you? It's very, very easy. Yet you and all the Trumpers fail at it. ....and he counts his money.
Sooooo .... FBI Director Chris Wray is NOW concerned about threats made against him and other law enforcement officers due to the FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago?!? Where was he/the FBI and Merrick Garland when numerous threats were being made against the Supreme Court justices after the Roe V. Wade judgement? They were not concerned at all about those threats. I never heard him or Merrick call those threats dangerous or deplorable.
FBI Director Christopher Wray condemned threats against him and the FBI, calling them "not the answer." The statement comes as the FBI has yet to provide answers on its raid of Trump's Mar-a-Lago.
ATLANTA, Ga. (CBS46/AP) - U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham did not show up to his scheduled appearance on Wednesday at the Fulton County courthouse. Graham was subpoenaed to testify to a special grand jury that’s investigating whether Trump and others broke any laws when they tried to overturn Joe Biden’s win in Georgia in 2020. The senator is one of the Trump allies who Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis wants to question as part of her investigation into what she alleges was “a multi-state, coordinated plan by the Trump Campaign to influence the results of the November 2020 election in Georgia and elsewhere.”
It's fascinating that this lifelong conservative can ask the question, "Who's the most reprehensible R Senator?" and not only have far too many who are neck-and-neck for the honor (Graham, Cruz, Rubio, Paul, Hawley, Cotton, Johnson, etc.), but McConnell, and guy who essentially stole a Supreme Court justice from a president/party, arguably isn't even a finalist!!
Boy, the R party of the Watergate era is apparently SO, SO far gone.....

Federal law enforcement worked very hard to protect the justices and they still do. The Democratic congress even passed a new law to give more protection to the justices.
But you already knew that. You are just spreading lies as usual.

How was the Supreme Court seat stolen. The process of appointing a judge was followed. Dems should have had the senate if they wanted to put a judge on the court

So the only thing that matters is following the process?
The Democrats could follow the process and pack the court tomorrow.
Joes head and his diaper are full of the same thing.
nice, nice, nice. heck of a website you hang out on, sport. That's called being a bad American.
Overall, we rate VDARE extreme right biased and Questionable based on the promotion of racial conspiracy theories that third-party sources consider hate and propaganda that aligns with the white nationalist right.
QUESTIONABLE SOURCE A questionable source exhibits one or more of the following: extreme bias, consistent promotion of propaganda/conspiracies, poor or no
Still not listening/reading, dems. See you in November. The debating is over. Although, if you ever want to learn what a tax rebate is, you and AOC can drop by.
Republicans: Gun deaths in Philly are because there aren't enough guns in Philly. We need more guns out there. That's R logic.
And SCOTUS has decided local areas cannot have strict gun control. 'Conservatives' are killing thousands of people by insisting on absurd, ridiculous logic.
PHILADELPHIA — The 300th killing of the year took the life of Lameer Boyd, an 18-year-old father-to-be who was gunned down one July night on a West Philadelphia sidewalk. Over the days that followed, a grandmother was shot in the neck in Mill Creek, a popular singer was killed in front of his house in South Philadelphia and a 26-year-old was shot during an argument outside a restaurant in East Tioga. On Aug. 2, a Tuesday night, a car pulled up at a front-porch cookout in Northeast Philadelphia. Someone in the car opened fire, killing a 29-year-old woman. With her death, the 322nd of the year, the number of homicides in Philadelphia was on track toward becoming the highest in police records, passing the bleak milestone set just last year. So far in 2022, more than 1,400 people in the city have been shot, hundreds of them fatally, a higher toll than in the much larger cities of New York or Los Angeles. Alarms have sounded about gun violence across the country over the past two years, but Philadelphia is one of the few major American cities where it truly is as bad as it has ever been.
What's this got to do with SCOTUS? Do you even read your own articles?
Democrats have trouble enforcing, or even choose not to enforce laws currently on the books against criminals possessing guns. That has nothing to do with SCOTUS or even "conservatives."

SCOTUS ruled that localities cannot have restrictive gun laws. Or at least made it much harder to restrict gun carrying.
I'm sure Philly would like to use some restrictive gun laws to get guns off the streets. But they can't do that now. Neither can NYC from the sound of it. All so right wingers can feed their fantasy of gun ownership = manliness.
CNN)The Supreme Court on Thursday struck down a New York gun law enacted more than a century ago that places restrictions on carrying a concealed handgun outside the home -- an opinion marking the widest expansion of gun rights in a decade. "Because the State of New York issues public-carry licenses only when an applicant demonstrates a special need for self-defense, we conclude that the State's licensing regime violates the Constitution," Justice Clarence Thomas wrote for the court's 6-3 majority.

SCOTUS required concealed carry laws to be based on objective criteria. Concealed carry is overwhelmingly popular in the US, even in most many states. Before the ruling, 43 states already had shall-issue permitting (or constitutional carry), including Pennsylvania, which your article was about.

So what's this got to do with your article?
I'm talking about how right wing gun fantasy makes it hard for localities to stop guns. NYCers don't want the same gun laws as WY has. For generations and generations SCOTUS let localities and states some version of gun control they want. Now that is evaporating, and it is feeding into more crime in the streets by preventing cops from fighting crime. Right wingers and SCOTUS are handcuffing police trying to keep the peace.

No, you posted an article about Philadelphia and blamed SCOTUS. The SCOTUS ruling doesn't affect any law or even proposed law in Philadelphia.
Gun violence has NOTHING to do with concealed carry permits. It's increasing because cities no longer want to do the work to get already illegal firearms off the streets. That's a choice by Democrat-run cities that has NOTHING to do with SCOTUS.
I'm very happy that the FBI raided Mar-a-Lago. It was a pathetic banana republic move and it's the very thing that has energized both the independent AND Republican voters to oust democrats nationwide.
Democrats are losing both houses of Congress and losing a few governor mansions such as AZ, PA, MI & possibly WI. There may be a couple more blue to red governor flip surprises but I'm confident with the ones named.
The red earthquake of 2022 will be massive. Impeachment hearings are coming in 2023 and Trump is going to back to the WH in Jan 2025.
I look forward to the liberal tears on election night 2022.
