Hunter Biden and Burisma accused of $156 million counterfeiting scheme
Interestingly enough the Democrats are trying to take Donald Trump down in order to hide the actions of Hunter Biden but it might be a paternity suit that takes down Hunter Biden (and possibly good ole Joe with him) first.
This paternity suit has already brought to light the fact that Hunter Biden is the subject of several criminal investigations and now according to this story that one of those investigations has to do with a $156 million counterfeiting scheme. Here is more:
Hunter Biden’s bank account records reveal a $156 million counterfeiting scheme involving Ukrainian gas firm Burisma and the cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike, according to a new legal filing in an Arkansas paternity case. The document, filed Friday by the Florida-based private-eye firm D&A Investigations, intends to notify the court of “felonies including Fraud and Counterfeiting.” The document names Burisma, the gas company that hired Biden to the board while his father, then-Vice President Joe Biden, was the Obama administration point person on Ukraine, and CrowdStrike, which investigated the hacking of DNC emails in 2016.
According to the filing, “the bank account records provide the source and destination bank account numbers of: Burisma Holdings Limited, PrivatBank, Bank of China, DEFENDANT’s business partners, Rosemont Seneca Bohai, LLC. a/k/a RSB, LLC. a/k/a RSBais, LLC.“
“They also verify the Counterfeiting scheme accumulating $156,073,944.24 with an Average Account Value (monthly balance) in the amount of: $6,785,823.66,” the filing adds.
Of course Hunter Biden is denying this but things are not looking good for the former Vice-President’s son and I would think it would be easy to verify whether or not he had millions of unaccounted for dollars in the bank.

Joe Biden calls for jailing fossil fuel executives
For months we have heard Democrats and some in the mainstream media call Donald Trump a dictator-in-waiting, a totalitarian, a fascist, and on and on the list goes. But for all of that talk here we have Joe Biden threatening to jail fossil fuel executives while on the campaign trail yesterday.
Here is more:
“Number two, holding them liable for what they have done,” he said of fossil fuel executives, “particularly in those cases where your underserved neighborhoods and – you know the deal, okay. And by the way, when they don’t want to deliver, put them in jail. I’m not joking about this.”
Now that sounds more like something a dictator-in-waiting, a totalitarian, or a fascist would say and just so you know he is serious he made it a point to tell us he was not joking. The leftist candidates running for President have been trying to outdo each other on the campaign trail and this is what it has led to. They are becoming so bold that after years of trying to hide their radical roots they now feel emboldened to put them on full display.

Elizabeth Warren’s brother calls her out for lying about their father
I have said it before but I will say it again, it is no secret that Elizabeth Warren has a fleeting relationship with the truth. We all know about her claims of minority status in order to advance her career, but she also claimed to be the founder of the #Occupy movement and falsely created her own #MeToo moment.
More recently she lied about being fired from a teaching position for being pregnant and now even her brother is calling her out for lying about her portrayal of their father. Here is more:
David Herring, brother of Sen. Elizabeth Warren, said he is “furious” to learn the Massachusetts Democrat called their father a janitor on the campaign trail.
“According to a family friend, David has disagreed with the way Warren calls herself the daughter of a janitor as she describes the work he found after losing a job as a salesman after his heart attack,” the Boston Globe reports.
Speaking with a family friend, Herring was adamant that his father was a maintenance worker, not a janitor. “My Dad was never a janitor,” he told the Globe.
Warren has referred to her father as a maintenance man in the past but has used the term “janitor” while on the campaign trail.
Elizabeth Warren is a millionaire elitist, she represents everything the left is opposed to and yet she is a front funner for the nomination so once again she is trying to portray herself as something she is not in order to advance herself. She wants to portray her story as a from rags to riches story and so she is embellishing the truth to sound more like an average person but I believe people are finally catching on.

House Democrats might try to impeach Donald Trump a second time
Well, Nancy Pelosi has not even sent the two articles of impeachment over to the Senate for a vote yet and the House of Representatives is already thinking about impeaching the President a second time. Here is more:
The House is open to the prospect of impeaching President Donald Trump a second time, lawyers for the Judiciary Committee said Monday.
House Counsel Douglas Letter said in a filing in federal court that a second impeachment could be necessary if the House uncovers new evidence that Trump attempted to obstruct investigations of his conduct. Letter made the argument as part of an inquiry by the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals into whether Democrats still need testimony from former White House counsel Don McGahn after the votes last week to charge Trump with abuse of power and obstruction of Congress.
“If McGahn’s testimony produces new evidence supporting the conclusion that President Trump committed impeachable offenses that are not covered by the Articles approved by the House, the Committee will proceed accordingly — including, if necessary, by considering whether to recommend new articles of impeachment,” Letter wrote.
What does this tell us? Does it tell us the Democrats know the articles of impeachment they already passed are weak at best? Or does it tell us they rushed the impeachment process before they had all their facts, or their act, together? Does it tell us this is politically motivated and they are just going to keep on doing this over and over again? I believe it is a little bit of all the above.
I think this sums up the whole of the Democrats’ plan:

‘Twas the Night Before Christmas/ Merry Christmas Everybody
“For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.” (Luke 2:11-14 KJV)
I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas and in keeping with America’s Watchtower tradition I present you with two videos. The first is called “‘Twas the Night Before Christmas–a Soldier’s Poem” and the second is “Merry Christmas Everybody” by The Cure.
Hunter Biden is the subject of several criminal investigations
The House of Representatives impeached the President for trying to expose Democratic corruption in Ukraine, more specifically the dealings of Joe Biden’s son, Adam Schiff, Nancy Pelosi, and I am sure there are many others. You can add Republican Mitt Romney to the list as well. There is a great race on as both sides try to take down the other first. While the Democrats won the first battle with impeachment they might be on the verge of losing the war because according to this story Hunter Biden is the subject of multiple investigations. Here is more:
According to new court documents filed Monday in Hunter Biden’s Arkansas paternity case, Hunter is linked to multiple criminal probes related to “fraud, money laundering and a counterfeiting scheme.”
A Florida-based private-eye firm, D&A Investigations brought forward the claims on Monday in the ongoing case against Hunter’s baby mama Lunden Roberts.
Here are some of the details being reported:
Biden, 49, “is the subject of more than one criminal investigation involving fraud, money laundering and a counterfeiting scheme,” the filing alleges.
One of the purported investigations relates to Burisma Holdings, the Ukrainian energy company with which Biden held a lucrative board post while his father, Joe, was vice president — drawing allegations of impropriety from Republicans including President Trump.
Biden and a group of business associates “established bank and financial accounts with Morgan Stanley … for Burisma Holdings Limited … for the money laundering scheme,” D&A claims, further alleging that the accounts showed an average account value of nearly $6.8 million between March 2014 and December 2015.
Biden and the others — including Devon Archer, John Galanis and Bevan Cooney — allegedly “utilized a counterfeiting scheme to conceal the Morgan Stanley et al Average Account Value,” D&A claims in the papers filed at the Circuit Court of Independence County, Arkansas.
According to the story he also tried to screw Native Americans over on some bonds as well, this should not sit well with Elizabeth Warren…
How pathetic is it that this is all coming to light because of a private detective in a paternity suit against Hunter Biden and not the result of a Department of Injustice investigation?
Don’t get me wrong, I am glad this is coming to light one way or the other but if a private eye can find this out there is no doubt the Justice Department has the means to find this out as well, but the department is obviously not interested and that leaves one wondering how deep this all goes.

Obamacare mandate ruled unconstitutional
I know this looks like it should be a headline from several years ago but it is not, this is actually a story that slipped under the radar last week: a Federal Court ruled that because the tax penalty for not having healthcare insurance was removed in Donald Trump’s tax cuts back in 2017 the mandate was no longer Constitutional because its Constitutionality hinged on the power of the Congress to tax. With no tax there can be no mandate. Here is more:
A three-judge panel of the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed Wednesday a trial judge’s decision invalidating the mandate, saying it could no longer be justified as a tax because of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. The mandate and the rest of the ACA will remain in effect, however, because the trial judge put his own decision on hold while litigation continues.
The decision is being appealed and the Court has ordered a stay until the case is fully adjudicated, but even if the mandate is upheld by the Supreme Court it is hard to see to what end because without the mechanism to enforce the mandate in place it really cannot be considered a mandate any more, can it? This seems a little anti-climatic at this point.
And of course there are no guarantees when it comes to how the Supreme Court will rule because you might remember that John Roberts changed his vote at the last minute and had to do some verbal acrobatics in order to uphold the mandate the last time around so there is no telling what he will do this time around.

A different take on Elizabeth Warren’s ‘wine cave’ comment
Apparently there was yet another Democratic debate the other night and now Elizabeth Warren is facing heat for attacking some dude name Pete Buttigieg who is apparently running for President.
I have read a few articles about this little back and forth, as well as about the backlash the elitist Senator from Massachusetts is facing, and I have to say you can chalk up the victory in this round to Mayor Pete. The irony of a millionaire elitist lecturing anyone on high stakes fundraisers was not lost on anybody, but that is not what I want to focus on because I think one aspect of Elizabeth Warren’s comment deserves comment although the irony of this particular part of the comment seems to have been lost on most people.
Let us look at the comment:
“We made the decision many years ago that rich people in smoke-filled rooms would not pick the next president of the United States,” Warren said. “Billionaires in wine caves should not pick the next president of the United States.”
While all of the focus has been on the “wine cave” portion of Elizabeth Warren’s comment I would like to touch on the “smoke-filled rooms” cliche the Massachusetts Senator threw out there.
While I happen to agree with Mrs. Warren that party insiders should not be deciding behind closed doors who the nominee is going to be, and I also agree that the primary system is supposed to guarantee the people get to choose the nominees, perhaps Elizabeth Warren has forgotten that the Democratic party has a differing opinion on this issue.
Sure the smoke-filled rooms are a thing of the past but the Democratic insiders still pull the strings and determine who the nominee will be and the Democratic voters only have the illusion of having the final say. One needs to look no further than the 2016 election and the way the Democratic party stole the nomination from Bernie Sanders and handed it to Hillary Clinton.
The smoke-filled rooms have been replaced by super-delegates but for all intents and purposes the results are the same and millionaire and billionaires are determining who the nominee will be. Elizabeth Warren would do well to remember this if she wants to have any chance at winning the nomination.
