Just Facts tells the true story of Hunter’s laptop and Biden-Ukraine corruption

I wrote about Hunter Biden’s business dealings with the Ukrainian oil and gas company Burisma a few times. But there actually some more revelations about it, from a well-respected fact-checker called “Just Facts”. I watched the lead investigator do an interview on the Eric Metaxas show, and I also found an article on the Just Facts web site. Let’s take a look at it.

Here’s what it says:

Newly discovered emails prove beyond all doubt that the “true purpose” of Hunter Biden’s lucrative deal with a Ukrainian energy company was for Hunter to get “high-ranking US officials” to visit Ukraine and persuade the nation’s leaders to “close down” all criminal “cases/pursuits against” the firm’s primary owner, a notoriously corrupt oligarch with ties to Russia.

Documentation of this illegal scheme begins with a widely overlooked email on Hunter’s laptop in which a top executive of the Ukrainian firm describes the plan. Now, emails uncovered by Just Facts prove that Hunter and his partners:

  • explicitly agreed to this deal.
  • concealed the names of top U.S. officials to “be on the safe and cautious side.”
  • affirmed that only Hunter could credibly promise to get those officials to shield the oligarch from criminal charges.

Just one month later, then-Vice President Joe Biden did exactly what those emails specified by visiting Ukraine and threatening to withhold U.S. aid unless the prosecutor investigating Hunter’s cash cow was fired. Moreover, Biden did this by going after two “key targets” identified in the emails: the “President of Ukraine” and the “Prosecutor General.”

The funny thing about Biden withholding U.S. aid is that this is the exact “quid-pro-quo” situation that Trump was accused of. This is using the power and wealth of the American people to help people who are helping your own family.

The article explains:

  • how Hunter was being paid
  • how much Hunter was being paid
  • what the Ukrainian oligarch expected Hunter to do

This is the part about Joe Biden:

One month after the emails above were exchanged, Joe Biden did exactly what they specified.

In December 2015, Biden visited Ukraine and later recounted on video that he told Ukraine’s president and its prime minister on that trip that he would withhold a U.S. government “billion-dollar loan guarantee” unless they fired the “state prosecutor.” “If the prosecutor is not fired,” warned Biden, “you’re not getting the money.” Biden then added, “Well, son of a bitch, he got fired.”

[…]Just two weeks after the court’s seizure order, the president of Ukraine forced the prosecutor to resign. White House phone logs show that Joe Biden talked to the president of Ukraine at least three times in the week surrounding the firing. The phone log for the last of these calls states, “The Vice President also commended President Poroshenko’s decision to replace Prosecutor General Shokin, which paves the way for needed reform of the prosecutorial service.”

And finally:

Two months later in May 2016, Ukraine’s parliament approved the president’s appointee for a new chief prosecutor, who Biden described as “solid.”

[…]Six months after Biden’s “solid” prosecutor was appointed, he dropped all criminal charges against the oligarch. The prosecutor also applauded the settlement as a “success” because the oligarch paid $7.46 million in back taxes and penalties. Far from being a prosecutorial victory, the oligarch praised these outcomes and stated that they would allow his corporation to increase production and “attract international companies to Ukraine.”

What about Joe Biden?

Joe Biden’s involvement in Hunter’s illicit business deals is also evidenced by a 2017 encrypted What’s App message uncovered by the New York Post. In it, one of Hunter’s business partners wrote to another partner while discussing Joe Biden, “Don’t mention Joe being involved, it’s only when u are face to face, I know u know that but they are paranoid.”

What’s interesting is his list of the news organizations and tech companies that covered up for Joe Biden.

Here are a few that are documented by Just Facts:

  • In October 2020, Twitter locked the New York Post’s account for reporting on Hunter’s laptop and pinned a post to the top of Twitter’s home page claiming that Joe Biden “played no role in pressuring Ukraine officials into firing the prosecutor,” a statement flatly disproven by the words of Biden himself.

  • In October 2020, NPR managing editor Terence Samuels Public Editor wrote that NPR is not reporting on the NY Post’s expose of Hunter Biden’s laptop because “we don’t want to waste our time on stories that are not really stories, and we don’t want to waste listeners’ and readers’ time on stories that are just pure distractions.”

  • In October 2020, Facebook executive Andy Stone wrote, “While I will intentionally not link to the New York Post, I want be clear that this story is eligible to be fact checked by Facebook’s third-party fact checking partners. In the meantime, we are reducing its distribution on our platform.”

I really recommend reading the full article, so you can understand the full scope of how the mainstream news media and the Big Tech companies interfered in the 2020 election on the side of the Democrats.

In November, we have another chance to vote about what Joe Biden did, and about how the mainstream media treated the story. I would imagine that the Democrats think that the American people are too stupid to be following the facts of this case. If the Democrats lose the House and the Senate in November, maybe they will understand that the American people don’t rely on traditional sources of news anymore. We do our own investigating now.

Same-sex marriage: polyamory is now “marriage” and surrogacy is now a “fertility treatment”

I’ve been doing some show prep for an episode of Knight and Rose on same-sex marriage. When I talk to atheists about same-sex marriage, they just say stupid things like how proud they are of legalizing it. No atheist understands what marriage is, what the state’s interest is in marriage, or what happens after marriage is redefined to eliminate the requirement for complementary genders.

Before same-sex marriage was legalized by Supreme Court decision, social conservatives like me were warning about what would happen after. But secular leftists didn’t listen, because thinking is hard. Especially for immoral people.

But here we are a few years after same-sex marriage, and we get this story from the New York Post:

An opinion from New York City’s eviction court has come down on the side of polyamorous unions.

In the case of West 49th St., LLC v. O’Neill, New York Civil Court Judge Karen May Bacdayan reportedly concluded that polyamorous relationships are entitled to the same sort of legal protection given to two-person relationships.

West 49th St., LLC v. O’Neill involved three individuals: Scott Anderson and Markyus O’Neill, who lived together in a New York City apartment, and Anderson’s husband Robert Romano, who resided elsewhere.

So, the reason why social conservatives were opposed to redefining marriage, is because we knew that a core aspect of marriage is the complementary genders. The male-female standard is related to many aspects of marriage and child-raising. A male-female union is necessary to conceive children. Male-female marriages (particularly those with virgins who attend church weekly) are the most stable form of relationship. Male-female marriages don’t have the high rates of infidelity of male-male relationships. Male-female marriages also don’t have the high rates of domestic violence and instability of female-female relationships.

But another thing that’s important about the male-female aspect of procreation is that you get a number out of it. That number is the number TWO. One man and one woman go into the bedroom, and then 9 months later, a child is born that shares DNA from both of them. That’s why the number 2 is central to natural marriage.

But if you drop the norm of complementary sexes from marriage, and just say that marriage is between two people who have a strong emotional commitment to each other, then there is no more number 2. After all, strong emotional commitments can be shared by groups of people. And that’s why we are seeing this ruling.

Secular leftists don’t accept an objective moral law, and they are terrible at understanding the consequences of tearing down moral boundaries. When it comes to morality, they have zero ability to reason or predict consequences. These are the same people who destroy their own oil and gas industries to stop “global warming”, then are forced to buy dirty oil and gas from Russia. Then they complain when Russia takes their money to buys tanks and planes that they use to invade Ukraine. They deny responsibility for the results that directly follow from their own foolish choices.

Here’s another consequence of same-sex marriage, this time reported by The Post Millennial.

A gay New York City couple is fighting for the right to get in vitro fertilization (IVF) and surrogacy covered by the city’s “discriminatory” insurance policy that does not fund fertility treatments for homosexual male couples.

Corey Briskin and Nicholas Maggipinto filed a class-action lawsuit against the city back in April, after learning in 2017 that Briskin’s insurance policy from his government job did not provide IVF benefits for gay men, reported NBC.

“What the city has done is robbed me of the right to determine when I get to have the family that I want to have,” Maggipinto said.

The couple had made a two-part plan to become parents: First, they would get IVF, a process in which an egg is fertilized with sperm in a lab. Then, they planned to hire a woman to be a surrogate, to use her womb to carry the zygote to term.

They want to get IVF, and they they want to get a surrogate mother to do the pregnancy. But they don’t want to pay for it – they want YOU to pay for it, because… marriage equality. Their same-sex marriage is the same as your heterosexual marriage, and that’s why the money earned from your marriage has to transferred to their marriage to pay for the production of children for their marriage.

Why do they want children?

“We got married and then we wanted all the trappings: house, children, 401K, etc,” Maggipinto, 37, said to the Guardian on Saturday.

I would really like to see what happens to supporters of same-sex marriage on judgement day when they meet the children who were treated like commodities. I would like the children to explain to them what they lost when they lost their biological mother and father, and the stability of an opposite-sex married home. Right now, they don’t seem to care. But I hope that one day, they are made to care. Children are not objects. They have needs. Adults need to stop being so reckless, irresponsible and selfish.

FBI and DOJ corruption should drive Christians and conservatives to vote Republican in November

In this post, let’s first take a look at the a list of FBI corruption scandals, then we can see what the FBI is doing with pro-lifers. My goal here will be to alert people that the FBI is operating like some sort of secret police for the Biden regime, so we really need to let people know about this before the elections in November. We do not want the FBI to continue under Democrat leadership.

Grabien has a good long list of 79 FBI Scandals, Controversies, & Acts of Corruption.

Here are few recent ones:

They link to a news story for each one. Those news stories are just from the last 2 weeks of September.

Anyway, I do think it’s important for taxpayers to decide what the FBI should be doing, since taxpayers pay them. And that’s why we have elections. Clearly, many of the people running the FBI are immoral and corrupt. They don’t know anything about the Constitution, or the rule of law, or law enforcement. So, we should definitely put them under new management. But what’s been bothering me lately are these stories about the FBI pre-dawn raiding the homes of pro-lifers.

Here’s an article from The Federalist that shows that the lawyer of one of the people who was raided e-mailed federal law enforcement to let them know that he would turn himself if required. That e-mail was sent in June 2022, and it was ignored. It was replied to by federal law enforcement only AFTER they pre-dawn-raided his house.

Look:

Amid Americans’ growing distrust of the FBI, the agency further damaged its reputation when, not quite two weeks ago, some 15 police vehicles and about 20 law enforcement officers, including many with ballistic shields, long guns, and a battering ram at the ready, descended on Houck’s home.

And:

The scandal intensified after a dozen Republican senators revealed in a letter sent to FBI Director Christopher Wray that Houck’s attorney, Thomas More Society lawyer Matt Heffron, had informed the Assistant U.S. Attorney Anita Eve that he would accept the summons on Houck’s behalf and that Houck would appear voluntarily. A copy of the email exchange between Heffron and Eve obtained Monday by The Federalist proves even more damning than the senators’ letter to Wray suggests, for two reasons.

[…]Heffron’s email to Eve, in which he noted he would “accept a summons on my client’s behalf, rather put Mr. Houck and his family through needless disruption,” was dated June 9, 2022, but Eve’s sole response to that email came on Sept. 23, 2022 — when Eve wrote Heffron to inform him that “this morning, [Houck] was taken into custody by FBI agents and is being transported to the Philadelphia FBI office for processing.” So the first response Houck’s attorney received from the U.S. attorney’s office, following two phone calls and an email, came more than three months later to advise him that his client had already been arrested.

That’s bad, but look at this more recent story from the Daily Signal, which talks about the recent arrest and charging of 11 more peaceful pro-life activists:

[…]The Biden Justice Department is heavily focused on protecting abortion clinics from pro-life activists who pray outside or seek to persuade women not to abort their unborn babies. On Wednesday, the Justice Department charged 11 more pro-life activists with violations of the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act for blocking the entrance of an abortion clinic in 2021.

You can watch videos of one the raids here on Life News. The FBI men were armed with assault rifles and they refused to give their names. That’s the kind of accountability we’re getting from the federal law enforcement.

The Daily Signal article also notes that pro-abortion violence against pro-lifers hasn’t gotten any attention from the Biden regime:

The Federal Bureau of Investigation will not share whether it has made any arrests related to attacks on pro-life centers, organizations, and Catholic churches following the leak of the Supreme Court opinion overturning Roe v. Wade.

At least 83 Catholic churches and 73 pregnancy resource centers or pro-life organizations have been attacked since the draft opinion was leaked in May. And some of these pro-life centers and organizations have told The Daily Signal that they have not heard anything from federal authorities.

This would be similar to how BLM and Antifa terrorists seem to have an easy time getting bail, despite causing 2 billion dollars worth of damages. That’s from vandalism, theft and arson. And that’s not even to mention the violence committed by the secular left terrorists. I know that in big Democrat cities, Antifa fascists are often released the same day they are arrested.
