Biden’s Burisma lies; Election integrity, voter ID, honest elections

Calling attention to PINO (President In Name Only) Joe Biden’s lies is like saying he only lies on days ending in “y” as if it matters when or where the complete B.S. rolls off his tongue. How does his duplicitous, even demented mind work that he could bald-faced lie to people in Maui about almost losing his Corvette in a house fire; he labored to elaborate about lightning, heating ducts and a near conflagration—while the official fire department report described a “kitchen fire” that was put out in about 20 minutes.

Someone put out a mocking story about Biden saying he could relate to the fires because he walked on a beach barefoot once and, boy, was it hot. The level of what Jews term chutzpah, or arrogance, which many say is actually narcissism for Joe—having to insert his personal, made-up story into every speech—cannot be simply dismissed as age-related.

There are numerous videos of Biden boasting about educational accomplishments, interactions with various world figures (Chinese leader or Nelson Mandela), and the infamous verbal plagiarism over being the first in his family to go to college, repeating British politician Neal Kinnock’s biographical story as if it were his own. He embarrassingly dropped out of that run for president over the fabulism.

What has never changed is his bombastic self-assuredness, head held high as he lies to his audience, whether to reporters, fellow Senators or, more recently, an audience of dignitaries where he spun his tale of forcing Ukrainian leaders to fire a prosecutor, Viktor Shokin. With flourishes about having to get a result before his flight left, dramatically looking at his watch and invoking President Obama’s approval for the threat to withhold a billion-dollar loan, he capped it off with his now infamous “Son of a bitch, he got fired.”

Set aside the admission-against-interest over the fact that Shokin was investigating corruption involving Burisma, an energy company on which board his son, Hunter, sat—having zero qualifications to hold the position.

For a man that endlessly proclaimed his lack of any involvement, knowledge or benefits from his son’s documented largess derived from that apparently “honorary” board seat, you would think that Biden would be reluctant to tell the world of his personal efforts to cancel an investigation, and fire a prosecutor looking into business corruption in a company paying his son millions.

Now it turns out, based on documents recently revealed, that then-V.P. Joe Biden’s account of things is one of the most self-aggrandizing, truth-twisted-into-untruth, fabrications ever to come out of the mouth of a supposedly legitimate politician. That billion-dollar loan had already been approved by Obama’s people based on the confirmation of honest efforts to root out corruption by none other than that same prosecutor, Viktor Shokin.

Joe Biden was using a previously approved transaction to give himself a cudgel to force the firing of Shokin, who was therefore removed from efforts to expose the very corruption that Hunter Biden was part of. America’s news industry would “hold the presses,” change the network or cable lead story, and shout from every microphone about this sort of lying, self-serving, influence-peddling monetary corruption—if it involved a prominent Republican who had been Vice President at the time, and was now the President.

Impeachment would be the least of such a Republican’s worries. It should leave such a stain on Joe Biden’s entire career that he be relegated to infamy as was President Warren Harding over the Tea Pot Dome scandal, which pales in comparison to using an official position, and massive amounts of taxpayer funds, to force a foreign government to take actions that accrued to that “leader’s” financial benefit.

On election integrity and the influence of fraud and ballot cheating in elections, it should be a no-brainer to conclude that the ones screaming and wailing that any measure to force voters to prove their identity as a means to rooting out said fraud—as some sort of “voter suppression”—are the very ones who depend on such schemes to get elected.

When “2000 Mules” came out—and fallacious efforts to “debunk” or disprove the indisputable revelations of “vote harvesting” failed—it was a cold-water wakeup call to anyone who suspected a rigged, even stolen election in 2020. The “mules” delivered more than sufficient “harvested” votes to effect Biden’s win. So many illegal, unconstitutional activities were predicated on COVID being such an emergency and threat to the very lives of people physically standing in line to vote—unsolicited mail-in ballots; expanded lengths of time to vote, collect and count ballots; allow hundreds of millions of “Zuck bucks” to be spent on purely partisan voter outreach benefiting Democrats, and so on.

That was a turning point for the legitimacy of America’s election integrity. It now stands as a truism: With enough paper ballots of questionable relation to actual voters, flooded into the counting centers where observers are restricted from watching questionable activities, it becomes impossible to undo what was fraudulently done, and to ascertain the actual winner.

It is repeated that President Trump and Republicans lost court cases over the 2020 election. That is a half-to-mostly-untrue statement. Knowing courts are reluctant to undo an election result is part of the plan; courts and judges were, first, unwilling to accept that asserted fraud would have changed the outcome. That put efforts to expose the fraud at an insurmountable disadvantage because until the literal tens or hundreds of thousands of ballots were examined and traced back to nonexistent voters—or the paper ballots were examined to find evidence of manipulation—there was never going to be sufficient proof to persuade a judge to hear the arguments.

That which is not disallowed will be repeated simply because the Democrat winners will never change a system that delivers them endless victories.
