    “Burisma Founder Mykola Zlochevsky, Who Allegedly Bribed Joe and Hunter Biden, Is an SVR Asset”

    “Burisma Holdings founder Mykola Zlochevsky, who allegedly paid a total of $10 million in bribes to Joe and Hunter Biden in 2015 and 2016 in exchange for then-Vice President Joe Biden’s assistance in getting Ukrainian prosecutor Viktor Shokin fired, is believed to be an asset of Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) by the United States intelligence community, according to a national security source speaking to RedState on condition of anonymity. The official said:

    “The US intelligence community has a high degree of confidence in their assessment of Zlochevsky as SVR. This is not a new assessment; the intelligence community under Obama knew this, and Obama was briefed on it. Joe Biden and Victoria Nuland were briefed as well.”

    In a June 2021 RedState exclusive story about the defection of Chinese counterintelligence official Dong Jingwei, it was reported that among the “terabytes” of data Jingwei brought with him to the United States was information related to “details of meetings US government officials had (perhaps unwittingly) with Chinese spies and members of Russia’s SVR.”

    It was revealed by Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) on Monday that the “foreign national” mentioned in an FD-1023 form by a confidential human source (CHS) not only claimed to have bribed Hunter and Joe Biden but possessed a total of 17 audio recordings of his conversations with them about the arrangement. He created the recordings as a sort of “insurance policy.” It was not clear whether the FBI had copies of the audio recordings or not.”

    “DeSantis Will Reverse Trump’s First Step Act”

    https://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2023/06/13/desantis_will_reverse_trumps_first_step_act.html

    “Random violence grows into a scourge on American society.

    Recently in our nation’s capital, a staffer for U.S. Sen Rand Paul was brutally attacked by a stranger, a dangerous assailant named Glynn Neal. The unprovoked stabbing was so ferocious that the victim’s family revealed that only “the intervention of our son’s friend helped prevent the wounds from being fatal.”

    The attacker had been released from federal prison just the day before the vicious attempted murder. In fact, the violent assailant was released early due to the jailbreak D.C. establishment bill that Donald Trump signed into law, known as the “First Step Act.”

    Gov. Ron DeSantis now promises, as a presidential candidate, to repeal the First Step Act – and for good reasons. This pledge represents the latest clarifying differentiator between DeSantis the effective conservative and Trump the rudderless politician drifting leftward.

    The Trump sentencing reduction statute was ushered through the Congress by the Beltway uniparty establishment, including Paul Ryan as Speaker, Republican Sen. Tim Scott, and key Senate Democratic liberals like Dick Durbin. On the White House side, Trump acquiesced to the lobbying of Hollywood celebrities like Kim Kardashian as well as his liberal New York son-in-law.

    After signing this misbegotten law, Team Trump devoted considerable resources marketing the get-out-of-jail-early legislation as some nod to black Americans, a dubious and insulting notion on its own. But despite constant bragging about this jailbreak and the so-called “Platinum Plan,” Trump’s performance among black citizens barely improved in 2020 vs. 2016, with a whopping 90% of black voters opting for Biden, per AP’s VoteCast.

    As usual, so-called “compromise” with the Democrats in Washington actually means that Republicans simply cave to leftist demands … and then receive no electoral benefit for the surrender. Americans increasingly grasp what time it is in America, politically and culturally. In this present moment, Democrats and their corporate media allies lie about foundational, previously universally accepted truths such as the necessity of a border and the existence of two sexes.

    So, in this era, bipartisanship becomes a euphemism for populist capitulation to the ruling class. In the case of this dreadful bipartisan legislation, Trump enthusiastically joined with CNN’s Van Jones and Sen. Chuck Schumer to pass a jailbreak statute. This new leniency creates totally preventable carnage, because dangerous malcontents like Neal should still be serving their sentences.

    In fact, of the thousands of convicted criminals released early by Trump, Ryan, and the Democrats, a minority percentage of the total are non-violent drug offenders. Instead, as Tucker Carlson reported in 2019, of the 2,243 convicts first released early under the Trump prison reduction law, a staggering 735 of the criminals had been incarcerated for weapons charges or sex crimes.”

  7. hwessli, I am wondering where you heard that conservatives were bringing things to the counter and then changing their minds. Is there a link somewhere where you read this or is it a personal anecdote? I had not heard that. I would agree that it is an immature thing to do.

    Whether or not it is true, I would hardly equate it with a bomb threat called in. Bomb threats were often called in to local schools and colleges for a period of time in the past. Such things are taken much more seriously these days.

    The main point, though, is the media purposely misleading others about the people behind the threats. I know those who were startled when finding out the truth and those were people who generally keep up on the news.

  8. Oh cry me a river…can’t handle reality

    June 14, 2023
    Text on a Fox News show appeared to refer to President Biden as a “wannabe dictator” during his White House remarks after former President Trump was arraigned on federal charges.

    The text did not refer to Mr. Biden by name, but the implication was clear. →

  9. That little tid bit was published in the NYT….I suppose they were outraged or something!

    And there is this:

    The Sickest Thing I Have Ever Seen at the White House

    There is a video that has emerged from the Pride event at the White House. This is one of the sickest things I have ever seen — probably the sickest thing I’ve ever seen at the White House itself.

    The White House is the people’s house. This is the same house where Abraham Lincoln sat. This is the place where presidents of the United States are supposed to behave in honorable fashion.

    It is not a place that is supposed to be the home of disgrace. It’s been disgraced before, whether it was Bill Clinton in the Oval Office or whether it was members of Barack Obama’s fan club smoking pot in the White House.

    This, however, is the most horrifying thing I have seen at the White House. This was done in full public view. At least Bill Clinton had the tact to be with Monica Lewinsky inside an office behind a closed door.

    This was happening on the White House lawn.

    When the Left says Pride, what they want you to think of is a monogamous, happily-married couple of gay men or a couple of gay women — or something.

    But what they actually mean by “pride” is this stuff.

    “Rose Montoya was among hundreds,” according to Newsweek, “welcomed by President Joe Biden on Saturday for a celebration on the South Lawn described by the administration as the largest Pride event ever hosted at the White House.” The Biden administration decided to hang a giant Pride Progress flag directly from the front-facing rotunda of the White House, demonstrating the new national religion of the United States: Pride, Progress, gender, and ideology garbage.

    You must bow before it, because there must be winners; there must be losers.

    One of the new advocates for this religion is Rose Montoya. Rose Montoya put up a TikTok video saying, “I had the honor of attending White House Pride, the largest one in history where the pride flag flew for the first time.”

    This is trans joy. We’re here at the White House, unapologetically trans.

    For those who have no clue who Rose Montoya is: Rose Montoya is a man who has had multiple surgeries, breast augmentation, chin surgery, and shaved down his Adam’s apple.

    There was Rose Montoya, meeting the president of the United States and then jiggling his bare-chested constructed breasts on the White House lawn. Montoya did this next to a trans man, meaning a biological woman who has had her breast tissue removed. All of this on the White House lawn.

    On the White House lawn.

    You paid for this, folks. These are your taxpayer dollars at work right here. Joe Biden said these are “the bravest and most inspiring people” he has ever known.

    This is apparently what Pride looks like.

    Montoya then posted a video responding to the outrage, saying, “It has recently come to my attention that conservatives are trying to use the video of me topless at the White House to try to call the community groomers, etc., and I would just like to say, first of all, going topless in Washington, D.C., is legal and I fully support the movement of freeing the nipple because why is my chest now deemed inappropriate or illegal when I show it off? However, before coming out as trans, it was not.”

    What looks like female breasts is different from the male chest. If you didn’t believe that, by the way, Rose Montoya, then you wouldn’t have gotten a surgery to put fake breast tissue in you, would you? If the female-looking breast was exactly the same as a male chest, then you wouldn’t have bothered to get a very expensive and painful surgery.

    “All you’re doing is affirming that I am a woman,” says Rose Montoya. “All you’re doing is saying that trans women are women because for some reason, people like to sexualize women’s bodies and say that they are inappropriate. My trans masculine friends were showing off their top surgery scars and living in joy, and I wanted to join them. And because it is perfectly within the law in Washington, D.C., I decided to join them and cover my nipples just to play it safe, because I wanted to be fully free and myself.”

    There it is: the siren song of the new morality, fully free and myself. That means I have to carve my body up and then bare my chest at the White House. That’s what America is really all about.

    It’s what the founders like John Adams and George Washington fought for. “We need to revolt against King George III because the reality is, we need men who believe they are women to be able to carve up their chests and then show their breasts on the White House lawn for TikTok.” Sick.

  10. Let’s not kid ourselves. Washington DC wasn ‘t a pure place before a trans woman flashed the white house lawn. Slave auctions took place blocks from the White House. I’m sure George Washington had a slave as a maid. Andrew Jackson held parties that would make me blush and I like over the top parties.

    Kathleena and Debra, I’m not equating bomb threats and leaving merchadise at the cashier counter, rather I see both as high school immaturity as opposed to serious political protest. And both victimize the working class – one sends them home without pay and the others gives them more work to complete in their day. Can we find a more reasonable way to discuss differences?

  11. To paraphrase Mean Girls – stop trying to make the “Biden Crime family” happen” ; it won’t. Whistleblowers disappear, statements are withheld, whistle blowers refuse to answer questions and now we have alleged taped conversations yet none produced. At what point, do you think Comer is misleading you and Grassley needs to retire?

  12. Deflation has its own problems. What we need is for inflation to settle, which it is. Not because of Biden or any central bank action but because inflation was caused by supply issues not monetary issues. And supply issues are fixing themselves. We’ve now entered the ridiculous situation where the “cure” for inflation, higher interest rates, is actually causing inflation through higher shelter costs. Forget about inflation – raise wages and lower interst rates so the working class can catch up.

  13. Kids get bored, no matter the topic – LGBQT or Lord of the Flies or Surface Area; they’ll fidget, sleep or sneak a look at their phone. It means nothing. However, if LGBQT activists want a backlash, force LGBQT messsages on them. Nothing wrong with pointing out the problems of racism and any type of phobia but if you come across as an authority figure they will rebel. The same thing that makes kids chant USA are my pronouns is the same thing that made my Catholic female friends flash the nuns at their school — teens will rebel against any message.

  14. Can we find a more reasonable way to discuss differences? I don’t know HRW, can you? Making more work for employees isn’t a crime. It might just keep them busy doing their jobs in a store where sales are down. Bomb threats are criminal activities— unless you are an angry trans apparently.

  15. apples and oranges. The WH has always been a place of respect and history in our nation. Yes there have been no perfect leaders. But up until Clinton Obama and now Biden there was a level of respect for the leaders of our country.
    I didn’t want to know what kind of undies Clinton had on. I didn’t appreciate the WH being lighted up as a ” pride” symbol for how people choose to have sex! And now we are subjected to viewing deviants exposing body parts and having public orgies on the lawn….and an old man with dementia spurring them on as an in your face to the citizens of this nation!!! Our tax dollars at work!!
    How much longer will the Lord stay His Hand??

  17. Obama lighted up the White House to celebrate homosexuals…as an in your face move to show those not in agreement just who was in charge. On foreign soil he apologized for how awful we were as a nation. His wife was ashamed of this country. Great leadership yes? He loved being a rock star in company of the Hollywood elite.

  18. A new White House video insisting that Americans’ children collectively belong to the nation instead of their parents has sparked fierce responses from Elon Musk and a host of conservatives including Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.
    The video, released this week, featured the White House lit up in rainbow colors as President Joe Biden intoned, “These are our kids. These are our neighbors. Not somebody else’s kids. They’re all our kids.”
    “Our children are the kite strings that hold our national ambitions aloft,” Biden continues. “It matters a great deal how we treat everyone in this country. LGBTQ Americans, especially children: You’re loved, you’re heard, and this administration has your back.”
    Musk, the SpaceX chief and owner of Twitter, had a succinct and harsh response to the Biden administration’s claim: “You are the government. They are NOT your kids.”

    Still adamant they aren’t after the minds and bodies of our children. Take off the blinders and see and hear…
