“Q: What is the difference between what Sen. Bob Menendez is charged with, what President Joe Biden is being investigated for, and the speech Michelle Obama gave in Germany on Monday?
A: Only the dollar amounts.
Just as Democrats were ramping up calls for Menendez to step down over bribery charges filed against him, and as House Republicans started their impeachment inquiry into whether Joe Biden used son Hunter to bribe foreign officials, Obama was reportedly getting paid an obscenely large amount of money for a one-hour talk on “diversity.”
These are all variations on a theme. Call it bribery, or extortion, or abuse of power, or whatever you want. This is how Democrats get rich these days. They expand the size and power of the federal government, then sell access and favors to the highest bidders.
Think about Michelle’s speech for a minute. According to the Daily Mail, she was paid $741,000, which means that by the time she was six minutes into her speech, she’d made more money than 50% of households in the United States make in a year.
This reported fee is also more than three times the already criminally large amount she normally gets paid to read words someone else wrote for her.
So, what makes Michelle suddenly three times more valuable? Did she discover a cure for cancer? A limitless, free, source of clean energy? An end to world hunger? Did she unlock the secrets of faster-than-light space travel? Or announce a plan to bring world peace?
Hardly. She is a talentless woman who happens to be married to a former president. The organizers of the event and 5,000 people in attendance most likely have already forgotten whatever it was she said.
The one and only reason she commanded that price is because of the current buzz that she might run for president next year, given that Biden seems unlikely to last until November 2024, let alone January 2029. The organizers of the event were buying political influence, not insights.
How is this different from what Biden was doing when he was selling access through his drug-addled son?
How is it any different from what the money-grubbing Clintons were doing with their bogus “Clinton Foundation,” which saw donations skyrocket when people thought she might be the next president. As we reported when we were with Investor’s Business Daily, donations to the Clinton Foundation cratered as soon as Hillary Clinton lost to Donald Trump in 2016.
How is it any different from Hunter Biden selling paint splotches – some priced at half a million dollars? He was selling political influence, not art.
This is why so many Democrats leave office as multi-millionaires after decades of “public service.”
It’s how Democrats make their friends rich, too, by the way. When Biden pours billions upon billions into subsidies for “green” energy and electric cars, who do you think benefits? It’s well-connected crony capitalists.”
“An email apparently sent by Hunter Biden to longtime business associate Devon Archer discusses a $5 million payment from Ukrainian energy company Burisma — appearing to corroborate the FBI FD-1023 form in which a confidential human source recorded testimony from Burisma founder Mykola Zlochevsky that “It costs 5 (million) to pay one Biden, and 5 (million) to another Biden.”
“Need to determine what we consider expenses to be deducted from potential Burisma ‘pay’ before we determine true split # with Alex. (i.e. 5-.75/3= 1.42M apiece),” read an email that IRS investigators believed to be from the younger Biden, which was part of a batch of records released Wednesday by the House Ways and Means Committee. According to a slide that investigators presented to Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss, the “5” is a reference to $5 million that would be paid out by Burisma. Of that money, $750,000 would be subtracted — the email asked if Archer thought “750K [was] a reasonable expense # btw Wash and DC offices?”
Of the remaining $4.25 million, splitting the money between Hunter, Archer, and “Alex” (whose last name is redacted) would leave each man with $1.42 million.
According to an affidavit from IRS whistleblower Joseph Ziegler, who worked the Hunter Biden tax case, the discussion “was believed to be [Hunter Biden’s] laying out of the plan related to the Burisma board income he and Archer were about to receive.”
The emails were obtained “by the investigative team via an Electronic Search Warrant served on Google related to RHB’s [Hunter Biden’s] Apple email account,” Ziegler noted.
“RHB references $5 million in total from Burisma (which was referenced in the beginning of the board agreement), which I believe coincides with information on the FBI Form FD1023,” he added.
The FD-1023 was an FBI form completed in June 2020, in which a highly credible confidential human source (CHS) reported having a conversation with Mykola Zlochevsky in which the Burisma founder complained about having to pay $5 million to both Hunter and Joe Biden. Zlochevsky claimed “he didn’t want to pay the Bidens, and he was ‘pushed to pay’ them” and told the CHS he had “recordings” of Hunter and Joe to prove it.
“Zlochevsky [said] he did not send any funds directly to the ‘Big Guy’ (which CHS understood was a reference to Joe Biden),” the FD-1023 notes. When the CHS asked about Zlochevsky’s bank accounts, “Zlochevsky responded it would take them (Investigators) 10 years to find the records (i.e., illicit payments to Joe Biden).”
The CHS also reported on the FD-1023 that another Burisma executive told him Hunter Biden was hired to “protect us, through his dad, from all kinds of problems.”

“As we’ve known for quite some time, Baltimore is a city where many bad things happen. But September was a really bad month even by Charm City’s standards. Around the middle of last month, a maniac named Jason Billingsley assaulted and murdered Baltimore tech CEO Pava LePere, leaving her body on the roof of her apartment building. Only days earlier, he raped another woman and attempted to kill both her and her boyfriend in their apartment. A manhunt lasting for days finally resulted in the capture of the killer at a train station where he was apparently attempting to flee the state. I’m not even bothering to use the word “allegedly” here because Billingsley has already admitted to at least one of the crimes. But if all of that wasn’t bad enough, the situation is even more terrible because it turns out that Jason Billingsley had already been captured and convicted once before. But Maryland’s “justice reform” laws allowed him to get out of prison many years before the end of his sentence. (Fox News Baltimore)
Bond has been denied for accused murderer and rapist Jason Billingsley.
Billingsley is accused of committing several crimes, including the murder of Baltimore tech CEO Pava LePere, as well as a violent home invasion where a woman was raped and a man was assaulted.
Billingsley was arrested at a MARC train station in Bowie, Maryland after a days-long manhunt.
Billingsley appeared by video for a bond hearing held at Baltimore City District court Friday, exactly one week after investigators say LaPere was murdered.
I’ll insert a disturbing content warning, but it’s important to understand just what sort of an animal we’re dealing with here. Billingsley didn’t just assault and kill LaPere. He pretended to be in need of help getting into her apartment building and she unfortunately decided to help him out. He then proceeded to assault her and beat her to death with a brick, leaving her half-naked body on the roof to be discovered a few days later.
At the apartment of the other couple, Billingsley feigned being a maintenance worker before kicking in their door. He threatened the couple with a knife, sexually assaulted the woman, slashed both of them, doused them with what was apparently lighter fluid, and set them on fire. They somehow survived. This vicious monster has no business walking the streets among decent citizens.
Sadly, as NBC News reports, Billingsley has a rap sheet dating back well over a decade. He had already been convicted of sexual assault, armed robbery, and false imprisonment. In 2015 he was sentenced to 30 years behind bars. But thanks to something known as the diminution credit system, he was allowed to whittle a significant portion of his sentence away, leaving him able to walk free after just nine years.
Under a plea agreement, however, 16 of those years were suspended, leaving Billingsley to serve 14 years behind bars. Then in October 2022, five years ahead of his scheduled release, he walked out of prison a free man.
Billingsley was let out of prison under Maryland’s diminution credit system, a policy that allows inmates to reduce the term of their incarceration through such things as good behavior and completing educational courses. Thirty-eight states have similar programs on the books. The violent and repetitive nature of Billingsley’s crimes, however, have left many wondering why he was eligible for the credits and if he should have been released at all.
This guy already had an established history of sexually assaulting women at knifepoint. But he was somehow given credit for “good behavior” behind bars and taking a couple of remote educational courses. Baltimore prosecutors had already suspended more than half of his sentence for his prior crimes, and the prison system knocked off five more years under the state’s “justice reform” laws. (His original conviction also included holding a woman at knifepoint and forcing her to perform oral sex on him.)”

“All 25 Republican U.S. congressmen representing Texas are raising the alarm to state officials about Colony Ridge, calling on Governor Greg Abbott and Attorney General Ken Paxton to take immediate action on the housing development just outside of Houston that many believe has become a settlement for thousands of illegal aliens.
The letter, which was led by Representative Brian Babin and co-signed by the state’s entire Republican delegation, tells the officials that, based on the concerns raised by constituents about the development, it is “unthinkable that such an enormous settlement would be allowed to persist in Texas.”
“If even a fraction of the above claims are accurate, it is unthinkable that such an enormous settlement would be allowed to persist in Texas, much less expand to over double in size over the next decade,” the letter states. “We believe it is incumbent on state and local officials to respond appropriately to mitigate the effects on our citizens, their way of life, and their safety.”
The letter follows an investigation from The Daily Wire on Colony Ridge, which highlighted potential cartel presence in the area, Colony Ridge’s marketing, which appears to be targeted at foreign nationals who are in the country illegally, and the developer’s financial connections with prominent government officials. Several Republicans have since called on the state to investigate the development, and Abbott has indicated that it will be on the agenda when the state legislature convenes later this month for an emergency session.
“Just north of Houston, an expansion to the massive residential development of Colony Ridge is being undertaken,” the letter states, adding that the developer “markets owner-financed lots with no credit checks or proof of legal residency, making the location an optimal haven for illegal aliens amid a historic border crisis.”
“Due to safety concerns and adverse effects on their way of life, Texas constituents have reached out to Members of Congress about the situation,” it reads, also noting that the development “reportedly has up to 75,000 residents.” The letter goes on to assert that “to date, local attempts to remediate these issues have been unsuccessful.”
The Republican congressmen say that Colony Ridge appears to have “doubled the size of the original neighborhood and appears poised for additional expansion,” going on to cite reports that point to a lack of “safety infrastructure” such as fire hydrants. The congressmen also highlight “concerning living conditions,” including “improvised housing” and issues with “water, power, and flooding issues.”
“State and local law enforcement officials have reported increases in violent crime throughout the county since new residents, many unlawfully present, have moved into the area, including several high profile murders, the largest drug bust in the history of Liberty County, and continuous drug cartel activity,” the letter goes on to read.
“According to these same claims, state and local law-enforcement treat this area as an effective, ‘no-go zone,’ further heightening the appeal for illegal activity in this development.” The letter also addresses “negative impacts on the local school system,” explaining that its rapid growth is largely “due to the thousands of illegal aliens flocking to Colony Ridge.”
But in addition to issues regarding crime, an overburdened school system, and a surge in the illegal immigrant population in the area, the letter goes on to point to a burden on local infrastructure, citing a report from the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality that found Colony Ridge responsible for “48,000 gallons of wastewater contaminating local bayous and significant fecal coliform contamination of drainage ditches.””

The letter, which was led by Representative Brian Babin and co-signed by the state’s entire Republican delegation, tells the officials that, based on the concerns raised by constituents about the development, it is “unthinkable that such an enormous settlement would be allowed to persist in Texas.”
“If even a fraction of the above claims are accurate, it is unthinkable that such an enormous settlement would be allowed to persist in Texas, much less expand to over double in size over the next decade,” the letter states. “We believe it is incumbent on state and local officials to respond appropriately to mitigate the effects on our citizens, their way of life, and their safety.”
The letter follows an investigation from The Daily Wire on Colony Ridge, which highlighted potential cartel presence in the area, Colony Ridge’s marketing, which appears to be targeted at foreign nationals who are in the country illegally, and the developer’s financial connections with prominent government officials. Several Republicans have since called on the state to investigate the development, and Abbott has indicated that it will be on the agenda when the state legislature convenes later this month for an emergency session.
“Just north of Houston, an expansion to the massive residential development of Colony Ridge is being undertaken,” the letter states, adding that the developer “markets owner-financed lots with no credit checks or proof of legal residency, making the location an optimal haven for illegal aliens amid a historic border crisis.”
“Due to safety concerns and adverse effects on their way of life, Texas constituents have reached out to Members of Congress about the situation,” it reads, also noting that the development “reportedly has up to 75,000 residents.” The letter goes on to assert that “to date, local attempts to remediate these issues have been unsuccessful.”
The Republican congressmen say that Colony Ridge appears to have “doubled the size of the original neighborhood and appears poised for additional expansion,” going on to cite reports that point to a lack of “safety infrastructure” such as fire hydrants. The congressmen also highlight “concerning living conditions,” including “improvised housing” and issues with “water, power, and flooding issues.”
“State and local law enforcement officials have reported increases in violent crime throughout the county since new residents, many unlawfully present, have moved into the area, including several high profile murders, the largest drug bust in the history of Liberty County, and continuous drug cartel activity,” the letter goes on to read.
“According to these same claims, state and local law-enforcement treat this area as an effective, ‘no-go zone,’ further heightening the appeal for illegal activity in this development.” The letter also addresses “negative impacts on the local school system,” explaining that its rapid growth is largely “due to the thousands of illegal aliens flocking to Colony Ridge.”
But in addition to issues regarding crime, an overburdened school system, and a surge in the illegal immigrant population in the area, the letter goes on to point to a burden on local infrastructure, citing a report from the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality that found Colony Ridge responsible for “48,000 gallons of wastewater contaminating local bayous and significant fecal coliform contamination of drainage ditches.””

Garland lied repeatedly, and the useless bobblehead pretending to be a journalist just bobs his head in agreement to everything.
Pathetic all the way around.

Former politicians have made enormous fees for decades. One might say that is capitalism at work. I much more detest our public schools paying speakers to come in with workshops and speeches promoting racism and division.
The injustice done by those who allow criminals to continue to walk the streets is obvious to anyone with sense and good morals. The others just believe the end justifies the means. There will be a final judgement. We can pray for our leaders to have a fear of God. However, we cannot make that decision for anyone.
