Dear Patriots,
For years we have known about the deep and systemic corruption within our government.
The collective news media has chosen to turn a blind eye; protecting the corruptors.
In recent weeks, the evidence of some of the corruption has gotten through the barriers, thanks to a handful of Republican representatives.
Hold on to your hats! Are there enough unscrupulous fingers to plug the leaks in the dam holding back the truth from Americans?
1- Between the corrupt Biden family and the corrupt Justice Department stands the equally corrupt corporate press.
The Only Thing In America More Corrupt Than The Biden Family
QUOTE: Having no discernible skills pays well, as does offering no good or service to your customers. If that sounds odd, let me add a caveat: If you’re a Biden.
The family of President Joe Biden has managed to rake in millions upon millions of dollars, a lot of which comes from foreign companies and governments, without registering as a foreign agent or seemingly providing literally anything in return. That’s a pretty sweet deal.
The Biden family business model appears to be about as complex as winning the Publishers Clearinghouse Sweepstakes, only more lucrative.
Normally, when a politician who brags about being “the poorest Member of Congress” buys an estate built by the du Pont family, it raises some questions – especially when the salary of that politician was all he had as income, and a career in politics is not guaranteed to last – it raises some questions. But Joe did that and more. He now owns several mansions in Delaware, including a more than 6,500 square foot estate in wealthy Greenville and a $2.7 million oceanfront mansion in Rehoboth Beach. This is not to mention the estimated $20,000 per month Joe paid to rent a 12,000 square foot mansion in McLean, Virginia, after leaving the vice-presidency.
That should raise a few questions, just as how his degenerate kids and brother, who couldn’t hold real jobs, managed to parlay a complete lack of skills, ability and knowledge into more money than the typical American family will see over generations from any number of disconnected overseas industries.
Attached to the Biden name, however, those questions are not asked.
Am I saying the Biden family is the most corrupt in all of politics? It sure seems that way. But they aren’t the most corrupt entity in politics – that title is reserved for the media willingly ignoring even the prospect of Biden’s corruption.
The three broadcast networks – ABC, CBS, and NBC – did not bother to mention the allegation the President received $5 million from Burisma, the corrupt Ukrainian oil company that paid his son a fortune. Sure, it’s just an allegation, but there was not an allegation against Donald Trump that didn’t warrant stopping all the presses and breathlessly repeating, at least until it was proven false, at which point it would be ignored. The more anonymous the sources the better!
Next time a “journalist” frets about the lack of trust in the media, remind them that it is a self-inflicted, and well-deserved wound.
2- Reporter extraordinaire, Sharyl Attkisson, does something no one else thought to do. She produced a timeline of the massive surveillance by the Obama Regime on American citizens.
It is comprehensive. Read the entirety at the link. Think of it as a refresher course.
Obama-era Surveillance Timeline
QUOTE: You can find many timelines that follow allegations of Russia tampering in the U.S. election and alleged involvement of Trump officials. But I couldn’t find any comprehensive timelines cross-referencing Obama-era surveillance of whistleblowers, journalists and other U.S. citizens with Russia surveillance allegations. So I built one. Please note: temporal proximity of events doesn’t necessarily imply a connection.
January 21, 2009:
President Obama takes office; pledges unprecedented transparency.April 2009:
Someone leaks the unmasked name of Congresswoman Jane Harman to the press. According to news reports, the Bush administration NSA incidentally recorded and saved Harman’s phone conversations with pro-Israel lobbyists who were under investigation for espionage. The story is first broken by Congressional Quarterly’s Jeff Stein.December 17, 2009:
The Obama administration prosecutes FBI contractor Shamai Leibowitz for leaking documents to the media in April 2009. Leibowitz says he leaked because he felt FBI practices were “an abuse of power and a violation of the law” which he reported to his superiors at the FBI “who did nothing about them.” (According to the ACLU: “Amazingly, the sentencing judge said, ‘I don’t know what was divulged other than some documents, and how it compromised things, I have no idea’.”)2010:
The IRS secretly begins “targeting” conservative groups that are seeking nonprofit tax-exempt status, by singling out ones that have “Tea Party” or “Patriot” in their names.
Army intelligence analyst Bradley Manning begins illegally leaks classified information to WikiLeaks revealing, among other matters, that the U.S. is extensively spying on the United Nations.Obama Attorney General Eric Holder renews a Bush-era subpoena of New York Times reporter James Risen in a leak investigation.
Obama administration pursues espionage charges against NSA whistleblower Thomas Drake. (According to the ACLU: spy charges were later dropped and Drake pled guilty to a misdemeanor. The judge called the government’s conduct in the case “unconscionable.”)
3- More than enough ballots to swing any election were found hidden. It took two years to find this stash of ballots in an election where one candidate lost by 19 votes. It makes us wonder how many more ballots have been hidden in a forgotten storage unit.
Nearly 300 absentee ballots from 2020 election found in Michigan county storage unit
QUOTE: Nearly 300 absentee ballots from the 2020 election were found in a Michigan county storage unit, according to a township supervisor.
The ballots were discovered in a storage unit in Genesee County, which encompasses the city of Flint, Mich., and Thetford Township.The discovery was made by Thetford Township Supervisor Rachel Stanke through a Freedom of Information Act and presented Wednesday to the township board and residents, according to Michigan News Source.
In 2021, Stanke first became aware of the potential existence of the missing ballots. She initially contacted the Michigan attorney general and the secretary of state, then later told the Michigan State Police after receiving tips regarding the missing ballots and supposed “old township documents” that were discovered.
The storage unit was rented by a former township employee who stowed the box of ballots there, according to the FOIA records. Stanke said that the employee was not aware of the contents of the box.
The Michigan police are investigating the circumstances surrounding the ballots after recovering them in August 2022.
Stanke hopes that residents can trust the fairness and accuracy of elections. “That’s why I want to bring this to their attention,” she said. “And I want them to be able to make sure that their elections are run fairly and smoothly.”
Katie Hicks, who lost by 19 votes in her race for Thetford Township Clerk in 2020, said she cannot trust future elections.
“Now this is all coming out and … I’m kind of happy that it’s coming out because the election is right around the corner again. And it concerns me that this will take place again for 2024,” Hicks said.
4- Hold fast on the boycotts. Do not take your foot off their throats! Target is losing foot traffic to Wal-Mart.
Target Tumbles to Its Biggest Loss Yet, Gets Hit With Yet Another Downgrade
QUOTE: Bud Light and Target still don’t seem to be able to dig themselves out of the hole that they got themselves into.
Bud Light is continuing its nightmare plunge, so much so that they’ve now tumbled out of the “number one beer in America” spot. It’s been taken over by Modelo Especial. All their competitors have gained ground. Now, most distributors believe the problems will continue for several months at least, with some believing that Bud Light will never be able to recover some of the customers that they have lost.
Target stock also has continued to take a huge dive since the middle of May when they became embroiled in a controversy over pushing LGBTQ items targeting children. And it doesn’t look like they’re done yet. They’ve already faced two downgrades. But now, they just got another one from Citi analysts including Paul Lejuez, who just moved Target from buy to neutral, due to “diminishing store traffic.” On top of that, Lejeuz said on Friday that Walmart would begin “gobbling up” Target’s market share.
He also pointed to them losing 13.9 percent of in-store traffic in the last week of May. Not a good look for Memorial Day, and as we’re going into the summer.
As we reported, they faced downgrades from KeyBanc and from JPMorgan. JPMorgan specifically cited the “recent company controversies” in their downgrade, and noted that could lead to continued lingering share loss with “back to school” around the corner. So it sounds like they think it’s going to continue for a while.
Target stock has fallen by 3.1 percent in the last five days to Friday; they’re now at 126.99.
They’ve also lost more than $15 billion in market capitalization, dropping from 74.29B on May 17, to 58.61B on June 9.
They haven’t helped themselves, as more information has come out about what kind of political causes they support or fund, including a group that wants to close Mount Rushmore—calling it a symbol of “white supremacy”—and making attacks on the military. The more the boycotters see, the more they want to continue boycotting. Even podcasters like Joe Rogan are calling out their “woke” actions, saying Americans think it’s “enough.”
Not only aren’t Americans letting up when it comes to Target and Bud Light, but each of those companies has competition that will take them down, between Modelo Especial, which moved into first place, and Walmart. As Elon Musk and Shark Tank’s Kevin O’Leary observed the next thing to come is going to be the shareholders sounding off and maybe taking legal action for such losses.
5- God, help us.
George Soros Hands Son Alex Control of His $25 Billion Empire
QUOTE: Billionaire left-wing Democrat donor George Soros is handing control of his $25 billion financial empire to his younger son Alex who has vowed to pursue even more ultra-liberal causes.
The newly crowned 37-year-old heir told the Wall Street Journal he will broaden his father’s famously woke interests to include issues like voting and abortion rights as well as “gender equality.”
He also feels bound to inject himself into the day-to-day political affairs of the nation ahead of the 2024 election.
“I’m more political,” Alex observed when comparing himself to his Hungarian-born financier father.
He has already visited the White House 17 times in just over a year and met with big-name Democrats, as Breitbart News reported.
Open Society Foundations, the Soros family non-profit, currently directs about $1.5 billion a year to causes all around the planet.
