The Biden File

 

The following is from our "Brain" research system section on the Bidens.  It is very long, but very complete.  Comments are welcome.

Joe's Gaffs

Gaff A - Joe Biden said, "I know President Trump likes to take credit for the economy… Just look at the facts, not the alternative facts. President Trump inherited an economy from Obama-Biden Administration that was given to him, just like he inherited everything else in his life."  Source: pic.twitter.com/0C9RL9L.9nwMn   

Analysis:  While it is true the economy did turn up in the last few months of the Obama Presidency the case can be made it was due to anticipation he would soon be gone and a businessman would be in place.

Gaff 2 - Joe Biden has made the unlikely claim he started the whole global warming movement in the late 1980s.  A young activist from “US Youth Climate Strike” organization asked Biden if he would support a Presidential climate policy forum organized by the group. Biden interrupted the girl before she was finished, asking, “By the way, did you know I’m the guy who did all this? Read ‘Real Clear Politics’  it will tell you about how I started this whole thing back in 1987 climate change.”  He is delusional and has a casual relationship with the truth.

Gaff 3 - Joe is running on the "success" of the Obama Administration! It is demonstrable that Mr. Obama was the worst President of all time.

Joe Biden was long better known for his spoken “gaffes,” unintentional embarrassing remarks than for his legislation in a 40 year career in the US Senate.  His most significant legislation was the 1990 Biden “Gun Free Zone Act” for schools and theaters that created a crime wave yet under way as schizophrenics know they will meet no resistance if they attack a school or theater bearing a “Gun Free Zone” sign.  What had been the rarest of crimes grew from an occasional event in a decade to several times a year with thousands of innocent people dying thanks to Democrat politics.

In 2007, Biden said this about his then-presidential opponent, Barack Obama: "I mean you've got the first sort of mainstream African American, who is articulate and bright, and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, that's a storybook, man."  Source: National Archives

 

When talking about working at a pool in his early 20s, Biden made a  claim that he personally fended off a gang leader who was causing trouble: "Corn Pop was a bad dude, and he ran a bunch of bad boys... And so he was up on the board and wouldn't listen to me. I said, 'Hey, Esther, you! Off the board, or I’ll come up and drag you off.' Well, he came off and he said, 'I’ll meet you outside.'"

"My car... this was mostly, these were all public housing behind you. My car – there was a gate on here. I parked my car outside the gate. And I – and he said, 'I'll be waiting for you.' He was waiting for me with three guys with straight razors. Not a joke."  Source: Flickr/Gage Skidmore

As the sponsor of a Senate bill to outlaw busing on the federal level, Biden warned during a Congressional session in 1977:  "Unless we do something about this, my children are going to grow up in a jungle, the jungle being a racial jungle with tensions having built so high that it is going to explode at some point."  Source; YouTube

While attempting to quote the Declaration of Independence in 2020, Biden said this: "We hold these truths to be self-evident. All men and women are created, by the, you know, you know, the thing."  Source: Wikimedia Commons

While bragging about a 1992 crime bill and its harsh penalties, Biden said, "Let me tell you what is in the bill and I'll let you all decide whether or not this is weak. Let me get down here at the compendium of the things that are in the bill. One: the death penalty. It provides 53 death penalty offenses. Weak as can be, you know? We do everything but hang people for jaywalking in this bill. Weak stuff."  Source: Joe Biden

At his first rally as Barack Obama's running mate in 2008, Biden introduced the future president: "This election year, the choice is clear. One man stands to deliver change we desperately need. A man I'm proud to call my friend.  A man who will be the next President of the United States — Barack America!"  Source: National Archives

While trying to salvage his 1987 presidential campaign, Biden said, "During the '60s, I was in fact very concerned about the civil rights movement. I was not an activist. I worked at an all-Black swimming pool in the east side of Wilmington, Delaware. I was involved. I was involved in what they were thinking, what they were feeling. I was involved, but I was not out marching. I was not down in Selma, I was not anywhere else."Mark Reinstein/Corbis/  Source: Getty Images

In 2006, when discussing the possibility of becoming president, Biden said, "I'd rather be at home making love to my wife while my children are asleep."  Source: Wikimedia Commons

In 2020, when talking about the COVID-19 pandemic, Biden said, "We have to take care of the cure. That will make the problem worse, no matter what. No matter what. We know what has to be done."  Source: Wikimedia Commons

In 2006, Biden argued that a fence was necessary at the U.S.-Mexico border: "And let me tell you something, folks, people are driving across that border with tons, tons, hear me, tons of everything from byproducts for methamphetamine to cocaine to heroin and it's all coming up through corrupt Mexico."Library of Congress

In 2007, during his presidential bid, Biden said, "I spent last summer going through the Black sections of my town, holding rallies in parks, trying to get Black men to understand it is not unmanly to wear a condom, getting women to understand they can say no, getting people in the position where testing matters. I got tested for AIDS. I know Barack got tested for AIDS."  Source: Wikimedia Commons

In 2008, Biden mixed up Depression history during an interview with Katie Couric: "When the stock market crashed, Franklin Roosevelt got on the television and he didn't just talk about the princes of greed. He said, 'Look, here's what happened.'" (In 1929, Herbert Hoover was president and TV was still in its experimental stages.)  Source: Bettmann/Getty Images

While discussing his experience working at a pool in his younger days, Biden once said, "And by the way, you know, I'd sit on the stand and it'd get hot. I got hairy legs that turn blonde in the sun. The kids used to come up and reach into the pool and rub my leg down so it was straight and watch the hair come back up again. They'd look at it. So I learned about roaches and I learned about kids jumping on my lap. And I loved kids jumping on my lap."  Source: Wikimedia Commons

In 2008, while recounting his helicopter being forced down (by a snowstorm) in Afghanistan, Biden said: "If you want to know where Al Qaeda lives, you want to know where Bin Laden is, come back to Afghanistan with me. Come back to the area where my helicopter was forced down, with a three-star general and three senators at 10,500 feet in the middle of those mountains. I can tell you where they are."

In 1991, Biden touted work he did with infamous segregationist Strom Thurmond: "If you have a piece of crack cocaine no bigger than this quarter that I am holding in my hand…we passed a law through the leadership of Senator Thurmond and myself and others – we passed a law that said you go to jail for five years. You get no probation. You get nothing other than five years in jail. Judge doesn't have a choice."  Joe Biden  

In response to some women saying his actions made them uncomfortable, Biden said this in 2019: "I'm sorry I didn't understand more. I'm not sorry for any of my intentions. I'm not sorry for anything that I have ever done. I have never been disrespectful intentionally to a man or a woman. So that's not the reputation that I've had since high school, for God's sake."Jamie Howren/CQ Roll/  Source: Getty Images

In 2019, Biden lashed out at an undecided voter after he brought up the presidential hopeful's age and accused him of "sending" his son to Ukraine "in order to get access for the president." Biden responded: "You're a damn liar, man. That's not true, and no one has ever said that. You see it on the TV, I know you do. And by the way, that's why I'm not sedentary. I get up and..."

"Look, the reason I'm running is because I've been around a long time and I know more than most people. And I can get things done. That's why I'm running. And you wanna check my shape, let's do push-ups together, man. Let's run, let's do whatever you wanna do. Let's take an IQ test. Look, fat, look. Here's the deal. Any other questions?"  Source: Wikimedia Commons

In a 1975 interview with a Delaware newspaper, Biden explained why he believed the government should have a limited role in desegregating schools: "We've lost our bearings since the 1954 Brown vs. School Board desegregation case. To 'desegregate' is different than to 'integrate...' The new integration plans being offered are really just quota-systems to assure a certain number of Blacks, Chicanos, or whatever in each school. That, to me, is the most racist concept you can come up with." Source: Bettmann/Getty Images

In 1975, Biden referenced an infamous segregationist in a favorable light: "I think the Democratic Party could stand a liberal George Wallace — someone who's not afraid to stand up and offend people, someone who wouldn't pander but would say what the American people know in their gut is right."Howard L.

In a 1993 speech that pushed for a crime bill to target "predators on our streets," Biden said, "It doesn't matter whether or not they had no background that enabled them to become socialized into the fabric of society. It doesn't matter whether or not they are the victims of society. The end result is they are about to knock my mother on the head with a lead pipe, shoot my sister, beat up my wife, take on my sons."

Speaking to wealthy donors in New York in 2019, Biden said, "I mean, we may not want to demonize anybody who has made money. The truth of the matter is, you all know in your gut what has to be done. We can disagree in the margins but the truth of the matter is it's all within our wheelhouse and nobody has to be punished. No one's standard of living will change, nothing would fundamentally change."  Source: Facebook

 The Biden 1990 Gun Free Zone Act

Joe Biden's 1990 "Gun Free School Zones Act" causes a 300% increase in  school shootings and he claimed the NRA caused it!  The record is clear and well documented. The only involvement the NRA has had with schools is a "Gun Safety" course they offer schools free of charge.

Shootings, School, Theater and Church

Before 1990 school, theater and church shootings were rare events.  In 1990 Senator Joe Biden wrote and passed the “Gun Free Zone” Act and these shootings began to occur with six in 1993 and averaged four annually by 2005, peaked at 12 annually 2010.  It is averaging seven annually and that is a 700% increase over what it was before the Biden Gun Free Zone Act!

182 school shootings since 1990 have killed 195 students in 29 years rising to a level 30 times, 300%, what it had been and not one of our elected leaders has taken a serious look at the facts, as have we in a few minutes.

While the "Biden Gun Free Zone Act" was written by a leading Democrat it was signed into law by President George H.W. Bush who was not a Second Amendment supporter thereby confirming doubts of his Republican authenticity.

The Second Amendment is sacred to Republicans because we know the history of Nazi Germany, Soviet Union and all 29 of the nations that have fallen to Communism.  The first step to despotism is gun confiscation.  The largest force keeping the peace and preventing invasion of America is the citizen gun owner.  In the typical American city "...calling the police," means maybe an officer response six to 24 hours, and maybe never! 

The Biden "Gun Free School Zones Act" has effectively turned our schools into shooting galleries for deranged shooters.  On seeing a "Gun Free Zone" they know there will be no resistance.  Some expect to go home as if nothing happened or even be rewarded for killing the demons they have slaughtered!

This tragedy, created by Democrat Senator Joseph Biden, is one that can be easily quenched by taking down the "Gun Free Zone" signs and having police cars parked in front of every school, plus one or two armed officers patrolling the school, and grounds. Students are only there six hours as well as evenings events where police officers are often.  They are already at every athletic event to keep the fathers from getting into fist fights over game controversies.

There are 17,000 secondary schools in the United States. Police officers are paid $40,000 to $90,000 per year.  Take $70,000 for an average and they work 12 hours shifts 180 days/year 12 hours/day for $38 per hour so we can cover every six hour school shift for $228 per day/school for $3,876,000!  That is pocket change in Washington, DC, but no one in our government has had the idea?  Do these people analyze these situations?

Much could be accomplished by taking down the "Gun Free Zone" signs as research from the Crime Prevention Research Center reveals 98 percent of all public mass shootings occurring between 1950 and July 10, 2016, happened in "Gun Free" signed buildings and areas.  Schools having had such signs are invitations to schizophrenics who do not want to die in their actions to alleviate their "voices."

Perhaps we should take all such signs down and plant them in Joe Biden's front yard.  Something dramatic on the side of the evidence and clear thinking should be done.  Republicans will likely cave in to gun control pressure like Florida Governor Rick Scott in 2018 after the Parkland shooting.

The Los Angeles Times timeline of mass killings from 1984 to 2017 reveals the vast majority of school shootings followed enactment of the Biden Gun-Free School Zones Act.

With over 350 million firearms in circulation in America we will never have a “gun-free America.”  Any such bill only encourages shooters to attack schools or any place with "Gun Free Zone" signs meaning "No resistance!"

What happened to the frequency of school shootings after schools became gun-free zones should be a reminder that we don’t want gun-free zones to exist any place people gather and we certainly do not want a mind like that of Joe Biden guiding America.

While the left is busy pointing fingers at the NRA for every school shooting in America, there’s one very real correlation that is impossible to overlook:  The Joe Biden "Gun Free Zone" sign.  Our children’s schools have become easy targets ever since the implementation of the Biden Gun-Free School Zones Act.

This legislation was introduced by former Vice President Joe Biden and signed into law in 1990 and the frequency exploded! It has turned public schools into soft targets for deranged murderers.  And, is Joe Biden's greatest legislative accomplishment.  Imagine what he can do for America!

                                Joe and Hunter Biden Story

Steve Hilton, of the Fox "Next Revolution"  Sunday show reports when  Hunter Biden was appointed to the Board of Directors of Ukraine's Burisma Gas Co.  US media have reported Hunter Biden was receiving $50,000 a month, but recent official Ukrainian releases document that Hunter got $83,333 a month for 38 months and the total was $3,165,000.

A Burisma PR release said, “Hunter Biden has experiences in public services and foreign policy,” but his only record is that he was an Honorary Co-Chair of the 2008 Obama-Biden Inaugural Committee.

Burisma paid M.L.Strategies, a DC lobbyist firm, $90,000 and also made several thousand Dollar contributions to Senators Ed. Markey, Jean Shaheen and Richard Blumenthal.  Later Senator Markey was the lead Senator for "Green New Deal."  Through all of this Joe Biden claims he never discussed business of any kind with his son!

An official release from the re-opened Hunter Biden Ukrainian Burisma Partners SA deal reveals that Hunter got and transferred to Joe $150 million Dollars during their association.

German company Hightex, owned by the Russian billionaire Elena Batrurina, wired Hunter Biden $3.5 million and then received a contract to build part of the World War II Museum in New Orleans, according to the museum’s website.

 Joe and Hunter's $1.5 billion China Deal

Two years of investigations by journalist Peter Schweizer revealed Joe Biden now has a serious China problem. And, much like his Ukraine scandal, involves actions which netted his son Hunter $1.5 Billion Dollars of funding for his investment firm.  If he did nothing more than put the money into US or Chinese top-quality he would make $150 million per year!  And, he never talked about this with his father?  Joe lies stupidly even when he does not have to!

Schweizer, the author of “Clinton Cash” and now “Secret Empires” found   that in 2013, then-Vice President Biden and son Hunter flew to China on Air Force Two. Two weeks later, Hunter’s firm inked a private equity deal for $1 billion with a subsidiary of the Chinese government’s Bank of China, which expanded to $1.5 billion, according to Schweizer in the New York Post.  If Hunter did nothing more than put the money in high grade US or Chinese stock shares he would make $150 million per year with no management expense!

“If it sounds shocking that a vice president would shape US-China policy as his son, who had no experience in private equity and clinched a coveted billion-dollar deal with an arm of the Chinese government, that’s because it is,”  Source: Peter Schwieizer.

Perhaps this is why Joe Biden, now on the 2020 campaign trail, said China wasn’t a threat.  Secretary of State Mike Pompeo took a shot at Biden’s comment during a speech at the Claremont Institute’s 40th anniversary gala, saying “Look how both parties now are on guard against the threat that China presents to America, maybe, except Joe Biden.”

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo speaks at Claremont Institute's 40th anniversary gala: "Look how both parties now are on guard against the threat that China presents to America, except Joe Biden."

Hunter Biden and his partners created several LLCs involved in multibillion-dollar private equity deals with Chinese government-owned entities.

The primary operation was Rosemont Seneca Partners  an investment firm founded in 2009 and by Hunter Biden, John Kerry’s stepson Chris Heinz, and Heniz’ longtime associate Devon Archer. The trio began making deals “through a series of overlapping entities” under Rosemont Seneca Partners.

In less than a year, Hunter Biden and Devon Archer met with top Chinese officials in China, and partnered with the Thornton Group – a Massachusetts-based consultancy headed by James Bulger, son of notorious mob hit-man James “Whitey” Bulger.

According to the Thornton Group’s Chinese-language website, Chinese executives “extended their warm welcome” to the “Thornton Group, with its US partner Rosemont Seneca chairman Hunter Biden, second son of former Vice President Joe Biden.”

Officially, the China meetings were to “explore the possibility of commercial cooperation and opportunity,” however details of the meeting were not published to the English-language version of the website.

“The timing of this meeting was also notable. It occurred just hours before Hunter Biden’s father, the Vice President, met with Chinese President Hu Jintao in Washington as part of the Nuclear Security Summit,” according to Schweizer.

Perhaps most damning in terms of timing and optics, just twelve days after Hunter and Joe Biden flew on Air Force Two to Beijing, China. Hunter’s company signed a “historic deal with the Bank of China, a state-owned financial behemoth and tool of the Chinese government.”  To accommodate the deal, the Bank of China created a unique type of investment fund called Bohai Harvest RST (BHR). According to BHR, Rosemont Seneca Partners is a founding partner.

It was an unprecedented arrangement: the government of one of America’s fiercest competitors going into business with the son of one of America’s most powerful elected officials.

Chris Heinz claims neither he nor Rosemont Seneca Partners, the firm he had part ownership of, had any role in the deal with Bohai Harvest. Nonetheless, Biden, Archer and the Rosemont name became increasingly involved with China. Archer became the vice chairman of Bohai Harvest, helping oversee some of the fund’s investments.

National Security Implications

As Schweizer also notes, BHR became an “anchor investor” in the IPO of China General Nuclear Power Corp (CGN) in December 2014. The state-owned energy company is involved with the construction of nuclear reactors.

In April 2016, CGN was charged by the US Justice Department with stealing nuclear secrets from the United States, which prosecutors warned could cause “significant damage to our national security.” CNG was interested in sensitive, American-made nuclear components that resembled those used on US nuclear submarines, according to experts.

It doesn’t stop there. While Hunter Biden had “no experience in China, and little in private equity,” the Chinese government for some reason thought it would be a great idea to give his firm business opportunities instead of the global banks like Morgan Stanley or Goldman Sachs.

Also in December 2014, a Chinese state-backed conglomerate called Gemini Investments Limited was negotiating and sealing deals with Hunter Biden’s Rosemont on several fronts. That month, it made a $34 million investment into a fund managed by Rosemont.

The following August, Rosemont Realty, another sister company of Rosemont Seneca, announced that Gemini Investments was buying a 75 percent stake in the company. The terms of the deal included a $3 billion commitment from the Chinese, who were eager to purchase new US properties. Shortly after the sale, Rosemont Realty was rechristened Gemini Rosemont.

“Chinese executives lauded the deal.” - New York Post

“Rosemont, with its comprehensive real-estate platform and superior performance history, was precisely the investment opportunity Gemini Investments was looking for in order to invest in the US real estate market,” said Li Ming, chairman of Sino-Ocean Land Holdings Limited and Gemini Investments. “We look forward to a strong and successful partnership.”

That partnership planned to use Chinese money to scoop up US properties.

“We see great opportunities to continue acquiring high-quality real estate in the US market,” said one company executive, who added: “The possibilities for this venture are tremendous.”

Then, in 2015, BHR partnered with a subsidiary of Chinese state-owned military aviation contractor Aviation Industry Corporation of China (AVIC) in order to purchase American precision-parts maker Henniges – a transaction which required approval from the Committee of Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS), the same rubber-stamp committee that approved the Uranium One deal.

Tying it back to Ukraine:  While it has been previously reported on the Bidens’ adventures in Ukraine, Schweizer connects all the dots.

Consider the facts. On April 16, 2014, White House records show that Devon Archer, Hunter Biden’s business partner in the Rosemont Seneca deals, made a private visit to the White House for a meeting with Vice President Biden. Five days later, on April 21, Joe Biden landed in Kiev for a series of high-level meetings with Ukrainian officials. The Vice President was bringing with him highly welcomed terms of a United States Agency for International Development program to assist the Ukrainian natural-gas industry and promises of more US financial assistance and loans. Soon the United States and the International Monetary Fund would be pumping more than $1? billion into the Ukrainian economy.

The next day, there was a public announcement that Archer had been asked to join the board of Burisma, a Ukrainian natural-gas company. Three weeks after that, on May 13, it was announced that Hunter Biden would join, too. Neither Biden nor Archer had any background or experience in the energy sector. - The New York Post

Hunter was paid $83,333 a month for 31 months while Burisma was under investigation by officials in Ukraine and elsewhere.

Joe Biden threatened to withhold $1 billion in US loan guarantees to Ukraine unless President Petro Poroshenko fired his head prosecutor,  General Viktor Shokin, who was leading a wide-ranging corruption  investigation into natural gas firm Burisma Holdings.

Biden bragged about the threat in 2018, telling an audience at the Council on Foreign Relations in a broadcast, videotaped comment declared, “I said, ‘You’re not getting the billion.’ I’m going to be leaving here in, I think it was about six hours. I looked at them and said: “I’m leaving in six hours. If the Prosecutor is not fired, you’re not getting the money,” bragged Biden, recalling the conversation with Poroshenko. “Well, son of a bitch, he got fired. And they put in place someone who was solid at the time.”

Joe Biden says that he had no idea Hunter was on the board of Burisma for two years after he joined, and that the two never spoke about the Burisma investigation. The former VP claims that Shokin’s removal was required due to his mishandling of several cases in Ukraine, but further testimony says Joe got half of everything Hunter was paid in every deal!
