Middle Class Joe’s Family Cashes In
Hunter isn’t the only member of the Biden Family to cash in on Joe’s position of power, and it just wasn’t when Joe was Vice President. Members of the Biden Family have been taking advantage of Biden’s power and connections since he was a freshman senator in the 1970s and a member of the Senate Banking Committee. Here’s a story from Politico (of all places) that documents how the family has been cashing in since 1973.
It contains an interesting timeline that I have not been able to transfer to this document. Check it out HERE.
Recently it’s continued to be “All in the Family” as five members have profited.
Political figures have long used their families to route power and benefits for their own self-enrichment. In my new book, “Profiles in Corruption: Abuse of Power by America’s Progressive Elite,” one particular politician — Joe Biden — emerges as the king of the sweetheart deal, with no less than five family members benefiting from his largesse, favorable access and powerful position for commercial gain. In Biden’s case, these deals include foreign partners and, in some cases, even US taxpayer dollars.
The Biden family’s apparent self-enrichment involves five family members: Joe’s son Hunter, son-in-law Howard, brothers James and Frank, and sister Valerie. Full New York Post article Click HERE.
Imagine if this was Trump (or any conservative Republican)!

And just for Eph, cheerleaders from the original XFL’s NY/NJ Hitmen:

Check out the time line on the Politico link. You’ll see that Slow Joe and Hunter aren’t the only crooked members of the Biden Family.

1 – Nope he’s definitely not, and doesn’t his brother still owe a 1million debt to someone he refuses to pay?

I agree, Rose has gotten the shaft considering all the other shit MLB has given passes for over the years and presently, complete bs he’s not in the HoF.

BC,
Talk about a wonderful surprise!
Haha

KH,
Well said about Rose.
Could not agree more.

Saw this comment about XFL rules. But … no cheerleaders? They’re goin’ nowhere …
“Here are their rules, which include comparisons to the corresponding NFL rules and their rationales behind each rule change.”

Funny the left keeps saying it’s Trump and his supporters that will do this and that to them if elected (didn’t happen) or reelected… yet 99% of the time it’s their own already doing shit they accuse others of maybe…doing in the future.
TLDR – 20’ish year old leftist infected with TDS rams van into voter registration tent, thankfully sounds like nobody was seriously hurt. Driver sped away while flipping the bird to volunteers.

Honestly the XFL girls look like escapees from the drag queen scene in ‘Cabaret’.

Considering what has transpired with multiple players on multiple teams Rose does deserve his spot in the HoF.

10 – 2.1% assuming the chicom public #’s are anywhere close to reality (which I doubt), that said it is higher in wuhan\Hubei prov, probably cause completely overwhelmed medical infrastructure.
btw came across this tracker site last week, gets updated daily.

KH –
When I was very young, I worked for the advertising department at MacGregor in Cincinnati MacGregor was a much bigger brand back then.
Rose was having an affair with one of the MacGregor secretaries, a married woman who looked like a young Mary Tyler Moore. When she wasn’t available (and Rose felt like cheating on his wife), he settled for the advertising secretary, who was a piece of work (not in a good way).

How quickly things changes – from MSNBC June 2015:

KH, 12,
Per the JAMA article they are quoting 4.1%. Point still is, better to isolate yourself than being in the ward with others. According to WHO antibodies may be insufficient to protect you. Aka, you can get recurring bouts of the stuff.

19 – Yup I read the report you linked, but it focused on only 139 cases all in wuhan. Yes the re-infection part could be a MF’er, horrible that 25% of the infections were contracted in the hospital too. Anyway I’ve been mentally putting a zero at the end of all the official numbers. Starting to wonder if I should be putting 2 zeros though.
Another headline today…which could be bs….or not..
“Exiled Chinese Billionaire Claims 1.5 Million Infected With Coronavirus, 50,000 Dead”
On the upside – “Officials in Shenzen say they won’t block Foxxconn factory reopening”… Which is interesting since yesterday officials said they couldn’t due to too high a risk at that factory in question.

How to win friends and influence people by Joe Biden…

In case you’re wondering…
“The term Pony Soldier was bestowed on members of the US Cavalry, who rode and fought in the Plains Indian wars of post Civil War history. Legend has it the Native Americans, both friendly and hostile, gave these Army Troopers the name. When you hear the term Pony Soldier you think of John Wayne leading a troop of cavalrymen across the vast landscape in pursuit of the hostiles.”
https://www.chuckhawks.com/last_pony_soldier.htm
So you’re probably wondering what the fk he used that term for with her unless he like Warren now thinks he’s an indian too. That said I’m sure the dog-face comment will go over-well with the sjw crowd, one wonders if he’s purposely making sure NH is the end and he doesn’t have to waste time going though the motions in SC before exiting.
[24]
hmm.

Take away:
So assuming the data about these 9 is roughly accurate, and the infection did happen at this event on Jan 19th (or before), that would mean the incubation period can be longer than the 14-days publicly announced. In this case it was roughly 20-21 days if they went symptomatic yesterday and went to get tested. There is one case (separate from these 9 family members) where it looks like he was infected for 1-month before becoming symptomatic. Not good news.
I hope, this is some isolated case or these 9 picked it up some time after the dinner that they, and authorities, suspect was the point of infection.
Makes we wonder if the 9-day survival on surfaces is under-estimated as well, though I would think that would be easier to test.

Btw there has now been clarification about the confusion with regard to that foxconn plant. The one in Shenzhen will not be returning to work yet, the one making i-farts in Zhengzhou (the huge one that employs 350k people) will be re-opening in at least some capacity in the next day or so but is still working out particulars with local officials Reuters reports.
I get the feeling foxconn-Zhengzhou is gonna be basically a beta test, while also trying to put out some sort of positive news. The i-phone virus jokes now write themselves though.
