Another Biden lie about Hunters business operations revealed

 Washington Examiner:

President Joe Biden reassured Hunter Biden in a voicemail that he was in the "clear" following the release of a New York Times article covering his dealings with the now-defunct Chinese energy conglomerate CEFC.

Joe Biden has frequently maintained that he has "never" spoken with Hunter about his overseas business dealings. The Dec. 12, 2018, voicemail, which was located on a password-protected iPhone XS backup found on a copy of Hunter's abandoned laptop, indicates that Joe Biden did indeed have a level of awareness of his son's overseas entanglements with a man Hunter once referred to as the "spy chief of China."

"Hey pal, it's Dad. It's 8:15 on Wednesday night. If you get a chance, just give me a call. Nothing urgent. I just wanted to talk with you," Joe Biden said in the Dec. 12, 2018, voicemail, which was first reported by the Daily Mail.

"I thought the article released online, it's going to be printed tomorrow in the Times, was good," added Joe Biden, who wasn't serving in public office at the time. "I think you're clear. And anyway, if you get a chance, give me a call. I love you."

'SPY CHIEF OF CHINA' LAPTOP RECORDING SHEDS LIGHT ON HUNTER BIDEN'S OVERSEAS BUSINESS

Joe Biden launched his successful presidential campaign about five months after he left the voicemail on his son's phone.

"I have never spoken to my son about his overseas business dealings," Joe Biden said in September 2019, something he would repeat multiple times.

The New York Times article Joe Biden referred to in the voicemail covered Hunter's business partnership with former CEFC chairman Ye Jianming and his top lieutenant Patrick Ho during a time frame the Chinese company pursued business opportunities in the United States and around the world.

Ye has since disappeared in China after Chinese state media linked him to a corruption case in 2018, which led CEFC to go bankrupt.

Ho was sentenced to three years in prison in March 2019 for violating the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act by trying to bribe the president of Chad $2 million in order to secure unfair business advantages for CEFC. Ho served his sentence and was deported to Hong Kong in June 2021.

The case against Ho revealed that some evidence had been obtained through the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act.

The first call Ho made after his arrest in 2017 was to James Biden, who is Hunter's uncle and Joe Biden's brother. James has said he thought Ho's call was intended for Hunter.

Hunter struck a $1 million legal retainer agreement with Ho following his arrest.

...

Joe Biden lies a lot to cover up his and Hunter's business deals.  He is probably reluctant to blame it on his dementia.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

29 % of companies say they are unlikely to keep insurance after Obamacare

Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t...

Is the F-35 obsolete?

Headline USA: Pentagon Fires Back after Musk Calls Its Most Expensive Project ‘Obsolete’ 'Yeah, as I'm sure you can appreciate, Mr. Musk is, currently, a private citizen, I'm not going to make any comments about what a private citizen may have to say about the F-35....'   ... ... Drones appear to be replacing jets for many operations.  The Russia-Ukraine war is an example of that.  Drones are often hard to detect and can be used for intelligence operations as well as for attacking enemy targets.  It would not surprise me to see drones engaging other drones in combat.  They also cost much less than manned fighters.
