Tony Bobulinski, a former Biden family business partner who confirmed that he was the recipient of one of Hunter Biden's emails linked to investment with a Chinese energy company, said Thursday he will give all of his materials to the FBI.

Fox News Channel White House Correspondent John Roberts initially reported Thursday afternoon that Bobulinski "will turn his electronic devices and records of business dealings with Hunter and Jim Biden over to the FBI."

Bobulinski later addressed reporters at the J.W. Marriott in Nashville, Tennessee, two hours prior to the presidential debate, confirming a story first broken by Breitbart News on Wednesday — namely, that he had personally witnessed former Vice President Joe Biden discussing business interests with Biden's son, Hunter Biden, and his brother, James Biden.

Comment: So who, exactly, is Tony Bobulinski?

Tony Bobulinski is a Navy veteran and CEO of Sinohawk Holdings, which he described as "a partnership between the Chinese operating through CEFC/Chairman Ye and the Biden family." He was the recipient of a May 2017 email published by the Post last week that appear to show Joe Biden's involvement with his son Hunter's foreign business dealings.

The former serviceman claimed that he was brought into their company as CEO by James Gilliar, an employee of the international consulting firm J2cR, and Hunter Biden.

The 2017 email, which was reportedly from a business associate of Hunter Biden, outlined "renumeration [sic] packages" for a Chinese venture.

It also laid out how equity would be distributed under a provisional agreement, representing "10" going to Hunter "for the big guy."

"I've seen Vice President Biden saying he never talked to Hunter about business. I've seen first-hand that that's not true, because it wasn't just Hunter's business, they said they were putting the Biden family name and its legacy on the line."
3 emails
What was Tony Bobulinksi's statement?

The Navy vet sent a 689-word statement to the New York Post, in which he claimed that Hunter Biden referred to his father as "my chairman and frequently referenced asking him for his sign-off or advice on various potential deals that we were discussing."

Bobulinski also claimed that he's turned over all of his evidence to two Senate committees that requested it.

An earlier report by one panel, the Committee on Homeland Security and Government Affairs, revealed knowledge about the Biden partnership that Bobulinski claims he was previously unaware of.

"The Johnson Report connected some dots in a way that shocked me — it made me realize the Bidens had gone behind my back and gotten paid millions of dollars by the Chinese, even though they told me they hadn't and wouldn't do that to their partners."

Lockdown tyranny: Illinois gov. orders police to patrol for COVID violations, France extends draconian curfews, Ireland arrests protesters

Gov. J.B. Pritzker said Thursday that Illinois State Police will start patrolling bars and restaurants in regions of the state where coronavirus numbers are surging, and establishments that disregard his new restrictions could face sanctions including the loss of their liquor or gambling licenses.

On another record-setting day for new COVID-19 infections, Pritzker announced the police patrols in four area of the state. The officers will be authorized to disperse crowds and issue citations for violators.

Pritzker previously downplayed enforcement while begging for compliance, but he said times have changed.

"It is very serious right now, folks, and if we need to close down restaurants or bars or take away their liquor licenses, take away their gaming licenses, we will do that because we are now headed into a peak that is beyond, potentially, where we were in March and April," Pritzker said during a visit to the St. Clair County Health Department in Belleville.


Comment: It's not "very serious." And "cases" are practically meaningless. There currently isn't any excess mortality in the U.S., and these tyrants know it. If they DON'T know it, they're only demonstrating that they're incompetent and should be removed from office immediately.


Earlier, Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot had a similar message. Starting Friday, she ordered nonessential businesses to close by 10 p.m. and urged residents to limit gatherings to six people because of the troublesome rise in coronavirus cases. Bars that don't serve food also have to stop serving customers indoors, and all restaurants and bars have to stop liquor sales at 9 p.m.

"We are — no doubt whatsoever — in a second surge," Lightfoot said. "This is what it looks like."


Comment: Only a Sith speaks in absolutes. There is PLENTY of doubt about this so-called second surge. For instance: Lockdown lunacy 4.0: The illusion of control


Comment: France has expanded useless curfews to cover 46 million people. PM Castex blatantly lied to the public, saying: "No one can consider themselves safe from this, even young people." In Ireland, Dublin police arrested 11 anti-lockdown protesters for the horrendous offence of "breaching public health regulations."



Spanish regions are calling on the government to implement their own curfew.

Best of the Web: "Smoking gun" email from laptop shows Burisma's goal was to buy influence via Hunter Biden and Devon Archer

On December 6, 2015, Joe Biden ordered Ukraine President Petr Poroshenko to fire Ukraine Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin, threatening to withhold $1 billion in US aid to the Poroshenko government if he did not do so.

Newly revealed evidence taken from Hunter Biden's laptop, in the form of an email dated November 2, 2015, from Vadym Pozharskyi to Devon Archer and Hunter Biden at their Rosemont Seneca Partners email addresses shows, unequivocally, that Burisma's purpose in placing them both on the Board of Directors, and hiring Blue Star Strategies, a Washington DC PR firm, in November 2015, was to influence United States and Ukrainian government policies for the benefit of Burisma and its exiled owner, Nikolay Zlochevskyi. It was Zlochevskyi, a Ukraine oligarch, who was paying Archer and Biden a reported $83,000 a month — each — to serve on the Bursima Board.

This memorandum was referenced by Tucker Carlson the night of the NY Post story on Biden's laptop, but an image of the email only found its way online today.

Win-Win vs Lose-Lose: The time has come for the world to choose

It is a tragedy of our age that society has been locked in a zero-sum operating system for so long that many people living in the west cannot even imagine a world order designed in any other way... even if that zero sum system can ultimately do nothing but kill everyone holding onto it.

Is this statement too cynical?

It is a provable fact that if one chooses to organize their society around the concept that all players of a "great game" must exist in a finite world of tension as all zero-sum systems presume, then we find ourselves in a relatively deterministic trajectory to hell.

You see, this world of tension which game masters require in today's world is generated by increasing rates of scarcity (food, fuel, resources, space, etc). As this scarcity increases due to population increases tied to heavy doses of arson, it naturally follows that war, famine, and other conflict will rise across all categories of divisions (ethnic, religious, linguistic, gender, racial etc). Showcasing this ugly misanthropic philosophy during a December 21, 1981 People Magazine Interview, Prince Philip described the necessity of reducing the world population stating:
"We're in for a major disaster if it isn't curbed - not just for the natural world, but for the human world. The more people there are, the more resources they'll consume, the more pollution they'll create, the more fighting they will do. We have no option. If it isn't controlled voluntarily, it will be controlled involuntarily by an increase in disease, starvation, and war."

NPR tells readers the Hunter Biden story is a 'waste' of time and a 'pure distraction,' so they're not reporting on it

Translation: They'd rather not report on a story that could be damaging to their preferred candidate!

NPR managing editor Terence Samuels acknowledged Thursday that the news outlet has not been reporting on the Hunter Biden laptop story because the editorial staff there doesn't want to "waste" readers' time on what they consider "pure distractions."

What are the details?

On Thursday, NPR's Samuels explained to readers that the Hunter Biden laptop story is a waste of their time and they don't need to look into it.
"We don't want to waste our time on stories that are not really stories, and we don't want to waste the listeners' and readers' time on stories that are just pure distractions. And quite frankly, that's where we ended up, this was ... a politically driven event and we decided to treat it that way."

Comment: Ah, yes, 'Russia did it'. How do we un-prove something that has not been done? By making the accusers prove it has.

Trump releases behind the scenes 60 Minutes video, claims CBS is full of 'bias' and 'hatred'

President Donald Trump released footage from the CBS 60 Minutes interview after White House chief of staff Mark Meadows said Stahl was acting "more like an opinion journalist."

"Look at the bias, hatred and rudeness on behalf of 60 Minutes and CBS," said the president on social media. "Tonight's anchor, Kristen Welker, is far worse! #MAGA"

The video starts with Trump saying he's looking for "fairness" during the interview, as anchor Leslie Stahl preps the president by saying she was going to ask "tough questions." "You don't ask Biden tough questions," said the president. "It's terrible, you know that."

Stahl told the president that the revelations regarding Joe and Hunter Biden from Hunter's laptop "can't be verified."

Trump then responded by asking why not. Stahl replied: "Because it can't be verified." (The contents of the laptop have been verified by law enforcement officials, Fox News and the New York Post.)


Comment: Here is the full 37 minutes of raw footage:

Trump and advisors consider firing FBI director after election

President Trump has reportedly talked with his advisers about the possibility of firing FBI Director Christopher Wray after Election Day due to the president's frustration that federal law enforcement officials have not delivered information that would help him politically in the final weeks before the election, people familiar with the matter told The Washington Post.

According to the sources, discussions between the president and his senior aides have resulted from criticisms that Wray and Attorney General William Barr have not fulfilled Trump's wish for an official investigation to be launched into Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden.

The sources, who the Post said spoke on the condition of anonymity in order to freely disclose internal discussions, said Trump has indicated he wants actions similar to those made ahead of the 2016 election by FBI Director James Comey, who told Congress he had reopened an investigation into then-Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server while she was secretary of State.

Comment: There is a conflation of Trump's legitimate concerns as to the legalities and actions of the Bidens that affects the entire country (if allegations according to current information are proven correct and Joe Biden wins the election) as well as a personal stake for the president. Does Trump also have a wishlist for his campaign? Of course. Will he sacrifice one for the other...not likely. But in this case, both implications are tied at the hip as both are significant to the election - a double bullseye on Biden. As far as anonymous admissions from faceless individuals? We know how that goes.

Biden pledges funding transparency, yet seemingly cheats on own vows as many of his campaign donors are kept secret

As the sums received by Biden's campaign have grown, his interactions with big donors have become more opaque, an NYT report shows, as part of a broader trend to 'out' the candidate's non-commitment to his 'transparency' vows.

In May 2019, one week after launching his third presidential bid, Biden's campaign vowed it would allow media access to all his fundraising events, saying it was reflective of his "longstanding commitment to transparency."

The news was reported by Politico with some fanfare. The outlet explained it came in response to Democratic voters' "increasing discomfort with the role of big-money donors in politics," and allegations that Biden was "too cozy with corporate donors."

One year after being turfed out of office by mass popular protests, Saad Hariri has been tasked with forming a Lebanese government for a fourth time.

Hariri ran as the sole candidate during consultations between MPs and President Michel Aoun, and was able to gain 65 votes out a possible 120, despite opposition from some key political parties.

The Future Movement leader is now tasked with forming a reformist government that will win the support of the international community and help salvage Lebanon's moribund economy.

In a brief statement to the press, the former prime minister promised his next government would be made up of "non-partisan experts" that would prioritize implementing necessary economic reforms to revitalize the country and reconstruction following the Beirut port explosion.

"I will get to forming a government quickly," Hariri said. "Because time is running out and this opportunity for our beloved country is the only one left."

Biden will create court reform commission, options go 'well beyond' court packing!

Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden announced in a video clip released Thursday morning that he will create a national commission tasked with reforming the court system.

Biden's statement comes as he has repeatedly refused to say whether he supports far-left efforts to add judges to the Supreme Court in order to tilt the balance of power of America's judicial system toward the Democratic Party. Biden told CBS News:
"If elected, what I will do is I'll put together a national commission of bipartisan commission of scholars, constitutional scholars, Democrats, Republicans, liberal, conservative. And I will ask them to over 180 days come back to me with recommendations as to how to reform the court system because it's getting out of whack, the way in which it's being handled. And it's not about court packing. There's a number of other things that our constitutional scholars have debated and I'd look to see what recommendations that commission might make."
