REMAIN STEADFAST!

America, Government, Headlines, Politics

Right about now the resolve of a whole lot of people who voted for Trump and GOP down- ballot candidates is waning. The propaganda bombardment to the effect that “Biden won” is starting to take its toll. Even pro Trump websites, pundits and journals are repeating the “President Elect” phrase albeit some with the caveat “if that’s how it turns out”. Repeating it at all, I submit, nonetheless contributes to the saturation. As far as I’m concerned, the title “Corrupt, Professional Politician Candidate with no Achievement, Cognitive Decline and Plainly Visible Marionette Attachment Points” is a more apt title. DON’T LET THE BASTARDS GET YOU DOWN!

What will be will be.

If, as we hope, Trump emerges victorious and we’re able to further expose the Leftist cabal and agenda and what it tried to do in this election and over the last four years, then let’s “trust but verify” everything and everyone who claims to be on the Rght side and let’s not take off our “No More Mister Nice Guy” and MAGAA hats. Let’s continue to clean out the Swamp. Let’s advance the America First, patriotic, capitalist agenda and continue our slog up the slippery slope we’ve been headed down on for the past 50 years!

If, heaven forbid, we ascertain that Biden legitimately won, Trump concedes and Biden DOES become the President elect, let’s think about what an honest resistance looks and sounds like. The amount of damage Biden will do with Executive Orders, the reversal of so many good things instituted by the Trump administration, and the ceding of control to a truly radical, dangerous and anti-american element in his party will cause many of us to flirt with the concept of armed rebellion! (For the record, I’m NOT advocating this!) But we have to resist descending into the muck where bottom feeders like Pelosi, Schumer, Schiff, Nadler and the like, and idiot-fools like Harris, Ocasio-Cortez, Warren, and Sanders dwell, and we have to mount a counteroffensive to the cancer wrought by Big Tech and social media. We need to actively purge our educational system of the Leftist rot polluting our children’s minds…we’re seeing it now as we look over their shoulders on their school tablets.

It’s apparent to me that many of those who voted for Biden have the attention span of a gnat, are influenced not by facts and rational thinking but by sound bites and memes and heart-string pulls, appropriate music background and carefully selected, photo-shopped and edited visual aids. They are almost without exception gullible, indolent, self-absorbed, myopic and delusional people without patience and with selective memory. Or, they’re flat out arrogant, hyper-hypocritical, megalomaniacal, power-hungry totalitarians to whom the rules don’t apply and who are largely unaffected by what goes on in Washington or the halls of their state capitols.

PLEASE RESIST THE LEFTIST PROPAGANDA TSUNAMI !

PLEASE RESIST HANGING ON EVERY WORD AND MESSAGE THAT EMANATES EITHER FROM YOUR PHONE OR THE TELEVISION SCREEN !

ESCHEW BOTH EUPHORIA AND DESPAIR ! STAY FROSTY AS THIS THING PLAYS OUT !

BY ALL MEANS, SUPPRESS ANY SPIRITUAL MALAISE YOU MAY BE FEELING AS THE DAYS AND WEEKS DRAG ON WITHOUT ANY “BOMBSHELLS” OR “SILVER BULLETS” !

REMAIN STEADFAST !

What Now

America, Government, Headlines, Media, Politics, Society & Culture, Values

“It ain’t over till it’s over”. The fireworks and dancing on stage in front of a handful of people after Biden was “projected” to have won the election was meant to create the perception that it’s a fait accompli. The grossly premature announcements by the Biden camp of how he will assemble a COVID task force on Monday, in other words, “get right to work” to be the President of All America is meant to serve the same purpose. Virtually everything saturating the air is just another ploy to demoralize, beat and steamroll us into submission. Difficult as it may be, ignore it!

Like I said, I’m not conceding anything until Trump does. While I am sick to my stomach about how the media, including Fox, are behaving as if this is a fait accompli, I try not to pay attention to them and continue to pray, hope and argue that ultimately the Supreme Court will be called upon to settle the matter, or the House, using the rule one-state-one-vote. If the former, I’ll accept what a conservative majority Court decides. If the latter, Trump will win because red states outnumber blue states.

In my opinion, the only thing the Trump campaign is doing wrong is putting Giuliani and some of these other known commodities out front on this. We need a new spokesman, one respected (at least nominally) by both sides, one who is beyond reproach. Maybe a Jonathan Turley? David Boise also comes to mind. There may be someone better but whomever they pick, part of the strategy needs to be winning the public relations battle, and we need a fresh face to expose the fraud, conduct the recounts and audits and/or lead the petition for a redo of the election. It ain’t over yet, but the Left, including all of its components, are trying to ram this thing down our throats, and I and I’m sure countless others are not buying what they’re selling. I hope the Trump team isn’t either and in addition to the legal efforts, start to counter with statements like the one yesterday:

“We all know why Joe Biden is rushing to falsely pose as the winner, and why his media allies are trying so hard to help him: they don’t want the truth to be exposed. The simple fact is this election is far from over. Joe Biden has not been certified as the winner of any states, let alone any of the highly contested states headed for mandatory recounts, or states where our campaign has valid and legitimate legal challenges that could determine the ultimate victor. In Pennsylvania, for example, our legal observers were not permitted meaningful access to watch the counting process.  Legal votes decide who is president, not the news media.

“Beginning Monday, our campaign will start prosecuting our case in court to ensure election laws are fully upheld and the rightful winner is seated. The American People are entitled to an honest election: that means counting all legal ballots, and not counting any illegal ballots. This is the only way to ensure the public has full confidence in our election. It remains shocking that the Biden campaign refuses to agree with this basic principle and wants ballots counted even if they are fraudulent, manufactured, or cast by ineligible or deceased voters. Only a party engaged in wrongdoing would unlawfully keep observers out of the count room – and then fight in court to block their access. 

“So what is Biden hiding? I will not rest until the American People have the honest vote count they deserve and that Democracy demands.”

– President Donald J. Trump”

If we can put forth such a spokesman and Trump can stay disciplined long enough to listen to his advisors and not step on his own tongue, letting the legal beagles do their thing, there’s a strong possibility the truth will come out and if, as I believe and 70 million of our fellow citizens also believe, that when all the legal ballots are counted and the illegal ones rejected Trump won, we’ll have our answer. If after exhausting all remedies Trump has lost, he’ll concede, as graciously as Trump can, as will I, and we’ll move to our own honest (not manifestly dishonest) “resistance” against the new administration.

In either case, I from this day forth will be trying hard to figure out how to hold the media and their institutional accomplices accountable for their supreme dishonesty and lack of integrity. For starters, I personally already left social media (except for Parler) long ago, including: Facebook, Twitter and Linked In, have changed my browser to Firefox and my default search engine to BING from Google. In the coming days I will be doing everything I can to wean off Gmail. Microsoft, while still Left biased, for the moment still seems to be less so than Google. I will also be exploring ways to reduce my reliance on the internet and cable tv for information. For the moment, I still monitor Twitter using the ‘handle’ @GrumpsReport and occasionally “tweet” but I can only take it in very small doses.

I have also started to study the laws surrounding elections in general: local, state and federal to see what can be done with fighting on in THIS election, as well as joining the groundswell of those who will demand our election process be reformed. For starters, I recommend perusing the website: https://ballotpedia.org. It seems to have the least biased reporting on the election and sections on what happens in the future depending on how each domino falls. It also discusses how a REDO petition could be mounted.

Finally, I will continue to speak out on GrumpsReport. Since starting the blog last year, the number of visitors and readership has grown steadily, without any promotion. Judging from the feedback I’ve received, I hope it continues to have a positive impact and contributes something useful to the discourse.

As I’ve been saying for months, barring fraud, Trump would win in a landslide. I stand by that statement. I have to. That half of our voting public could either: a) support Biden and all that his candidacy represented or b) hate Trump so much, is distressing and saddening. If he wins, it will be because the American people will have successfully pushed back an unprecedented onslaught from the Leftist foes and addled, somnolent or deluded lemmings arrayed against us.  If he loses, I for one will ache for what could have been, Trump will have helped stall and reverse our descent down the slippery slope and the America First movement will continue, perhaps more galvanized than ever.

This country was built on traditional values of right and wrong and above-all, freedom. Occasionally, over the years, through self-examination, we corrected wrongs, injustices and mistakes, but it has still done more to lift more people up throughout the world than any other nation in history. It has been grievously wounded by all that has occurred in recent decades, including this disgrace of an election, but it will heal again.

The S#*@ Show

America, Government, Morality, Politics, Society & Culture, Technology

I’ll try to avoid using the words fraud and steal in this post. It will be difficult. Here’s the crux of the debacle that was the election this year. Just as was trumpeted well before November 3rd, the process by which votes were solicited, collected, processed and counted was exposed to be woefully deficient. It is worthy of a banana republic, not the greatest and most technologically advanced nation in the world. What’s worse, and critical in a divided nation and close election, is an inability to verify the validity of both the voters and the votes.

It starts with voter identification. In too many places, one has only to show up with a driver’s license (or official substitute), fill out an affidavit, and be registered to vote on the spot. The voter registration form – the California form example is reproduced below as an example, has the applicant affirm he or she is a U.S. Citizen, etc.

When one fills out this form, even if a drivers license or social security card is presented, neither of which requires one to be a citizen, for identification, no positive evidence of citizenship is required. Sure, the applicant is committing perjury by signing the form, but you’d have to be truly naive to think that unqualified persons actually pay attention to that certification. If you’re here illegally, or are not a citizen, do you really fear enforcement? Of course not.

Nowhere is this flaw in our system more apparent than in the motor voter and same-day-registration. It’s no wonder the Left wants to allow illegal aliens in. Even before they are wholesale granted citizenship so they become a permanent Leftist voting block, their ability to register to vote, illegally, is facilitated by the drive-up-and-fill-out-this-form mechanism. On college campuses around the country, the registration of students with home/permanent addresses different from their temporary college dorm addresses to influence local elections is fundamentally improper. Their home address registrations are not cancelled when this happens. Temporary addresses while attending school should not be used for voter registration, yet they have been with unfair (charitably) impact. Such was the case in the election of Connecticut’s governor. His opponent led all day, by wide margins, until just before poll closing, when bags full of “votes” from New Haven (Yale) and Bridgeport (numerous schools), never questioned, miraculously appeared to tip the election in favor of the incumbent.

The second deficiency with our system and process is the fiction in voter rolls. There is not just anecdotal but  documented evidence that dead voters, illegal voters, voters who have moved away or unqualified voters appear on the rolls. These lists are used to send out absentee ballot applications which in turn, particularly in this election with the COVID canard, result in ballots being erroneously (to use a charitable term) mailed out to MANY people and addresses.

Third, while I appreciate that we have a republic which allows each state to decide how to conduct its elections, in my opinion there ought to be uniformity with regard to certain aspects of FEDERAL elections which by definition affect the entire country, such as rules concerning the timing and cutoffs of ballot presentation and the manner in which voters are qualified.

Fourth, the envelope within an envelope structure of the ballot prevents adequate validation and the elimination of the matching signature requirement invites irregularities (again, charity). Once the inner envelope, the one with the signature, is opened and the ballot separated from it, it is impossible to know whether the ballot is valid or not. Without human supervision of the process, unqualified (charity) ballots can no longer be identified and in retrospect, singled out for verification.

The whole process, therefore, invites and facilitates both errors and manipulation. While on the one hand millions upon millions of ballots are valid, qualified and submitted properly, as we now see, there can be enough with problems that the outcome can be changed and cast in doubt.

If I had a dollar for every invalid registration in this country, I would be, most certainly, a wealthy man.

We have clearly entered a post-truth era, a post-right-and-wrong era. The ability to influence perception and misperception has been magnified 1000x by the internet, social media and what I’ll call “production values” – the whole mechanism whereby reality is modified with visual, audio and timing effects using technology.

As of this writing the election results are still uncertain. The media has promoted a variety of different “realities”. I for one don’t accept ANY of them. What’s worse, I have no confidence that REAL reality will be discernible. “Perception is reality” is an oft used phrase that has multiple levels of interpretation. In the absence of TRUE truth, indelible truth, truth which is true irrespective of manipulation and production values…we have only our own perceptions and critical thinking abilities left to discern what it is.

My perception is that though now divided as a people into two nations, the majority albeit a smaller majority than I would have hoped, wanted a continuation of the policies and course set in place by the Trump administration rather than the alternative. It is not Trump who divided this country. It is the Left. It is not Trump who is racist, fascist, a puppet of special interests and foreign adversaries, it is the Left. It is not Trump who supports violence and looting and disorder in our streets. It is the Left. And it is not Trump who advocates the erasure of our history, the cancelling of our heritage. It is the Left. And so on and so forth.

I don’t believe the country really wants what the Left has put lipstick on. That’s MY reality, and I pray Right and TRUE Truth prevail in the days, weeks and months ahead.

May our country be spared and traditional values be preserved.

Game Day

America, Government, Politics, Society & Culture, Uncategorized, Values

First, some context. I live in a solidly blue, suburban town. It is not in a swing state, it’s one of those unquestionably considered Democrat and it has reliably been so for as long as I’ve been around, which is well over half a century. I suspect that most Republican voters cast their ballots not because they believe it will make a difference in the outcome, but out of patriotism and duty.

I’ve just returned from reconning my voting location, a local high school gymnasium. At 20 minutes from the time the polls opened at 6:00 AM there was a line about 50 yards long down the sidewalk emanating from the entrance door. Across from the entrance on a small embankment was a gaggle of Biden-Harris signs. By stark contrast I noted that nowhere to be seen either on that lawn area nor on the way over were there any readily visible Trump-Pence signs. Our local paper and town blogs have had numerous stories about how GOP signs from the top down have been vandalized over the last couple of months. It goes to show just how angry, vile and repugnant the hardened Left is.

The people in line seemed solemn and all were dignified. Strikingly, there was no way to tell who people were going to vote for. No MAGA hats, no bright blue indicators, no pins or descriptors of any kind. There was little animation, little discussion going on…just a quiet, almost reverential queue. Most but not all wore masks, and many of those who did had them down below their noses, their disdain and grudging compliance in full view.

Here’s my take. I surmise that the vast majority of those voters in line were going to vote for Trump-Pence as well as the down-ballot Republicans. And I believe that the number of voters throughout the state who will similarly vote Republican today will be greater than in either 2016 or 2018. It may not make a difference to the outcome for the presidency, but I can’t help but wonder if it will make a difference down-ballot, with gains for the GOP in county-wide and local contests. It just might.

As I turned on the tv upon returning home I was deluged with talking heads, of course, and notably, all commented either directly or indirectly on THE NUMBERS. It struck me that everyone is substantiating their opinion based on reported data of one sort or another. This genuflection to THE NUMBERS is laughable. First, the numbers are frequently, in fact most of the time, WRONG! Sampling is about as inexact a science as there is. It’s based on the faulty and dubious assumption that the sample is representative. Far more often than not, human nature being what it is, it isn’t.

But it sells ad revenue. The more controversy, the more drama, the more conflict, the more blood, the more people are gripped and the more they watch the accident by the side of the road.

As we saw in 2016, what matters is the scoreboard at the end of the game. I’ve taken my omeprazole, have had my two cups of coffee, have turned the sound off on my tv, turned on my Parler, stock market and classical music playlist feeds, and settled in for what will be a long day. About 6:00 PM I’ll start my deep breathing exercises and continue my vigil well, I suspect, into the night. This IS the most consequential election of my lifetime, and may very well determine the course our country will take for the next generation. Whether we are led by pragmatic adults or dysfunctional utopian dreamers will be determined. The adults, I maintain, will prevail.

May God bless America and despite our faults and inadequacies, give us the leadership we need.

I’ve been saying for some time that the Left will go down in ignominious defeat tomorrow and I stand by that prediction. The American people have had enough of their petulance and histrionics. Social media makes it seem as if the Left represents more of our country than it actually does. Like the screaming and foot-stomping toddler or the obnoxious, rebellious adolescent, the Left begs for attention and ego food.

Have you watched Joe Biden and Kamala Harris at all? Biden is trying to overcome his lack of stamina, energy and mental acuity by yelling, no practically SCREAMING (.sic!) at the cameras in front of him. Wow he’s angry! If that isn’t a reflection of insecurity and resignation I don’t know what is! And Harris’ affected, cackling laugh psychologists will tell you is also a coping method for insecurity and a lack of conviction. That’s not just leading from behind. That’s leading from the behind!

What will the Trump win mean? I believe it will be a final repudiation of the nonsense and drivel that has been coming out of the mouths of the Left for years. It will be nothing less than a MANDATE to reclaim the traditional values and principles upon which this country was founded and built. It will represent the bottom of the slippery slope…the depths to which the Left have dragged us, and the beginning of the long, tough and fraught-with-obstacles climb back up.

For the Left will not die…the main stream media will see to that. They will weep, wail and gnash their teeth, crying foul, repeating their calls for “resistance”. Slowly, but surely, however, when their advertising revenues dwindle to nothing and their wealthy donors decide to stem their losses and start backing the winners, the MSM will retire their puerile talking heads and replace them first, with moderate voices, then patriotic voices as they desperately try to restore their revenues and profits.

We’ve had to endure sharp vicissitudes over the last 100 years: the Great Depression, the encroachment of the government in every aspect of our lives that began with the New Deal, two world wars, fallout from the Civil Rights movement, Watergate, the advent of public sector unions and the impact that had on education and the explosion of the regulatory bureaucracy, the Space Race, the Vietnam War, Rubik’s Cubes and Pacman, Watergate, the Beatles, the Lewinsky affair, 9-11 and the biggest tipping point of all…the advent of the World Wide Web and social media.

What now does this election portend? A new era of stability and prosperity, of peace and self-reliance, an extinguishing of the Leftist flames of hate, violence, division, class warfare, godlessness, nanny-statism, socialist absurdity and globalism…in short, a restoration of Freedom and meritocracy, of TRADITIONALISM!

A “Dark Winter”?? No…

A NEW, BRIGHT DAWN!

Attention GOP Voters in Blue States

America, Government, Headlines, Politics, Society & Culture

Many Republicans and conservative or traditional independents living in Blue States intuitively feel their vote doesn’t matter – that the state is going to vote Democrat so their vote won’t count anyway. Not so! It DOES MATTER! Here’s why…

As Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich has urged, “If you think you live in an area that is hopelessly blue and your vote doesn’t matter, consider the Republican takeover of Congress in 2010, in which we picked up 63 seats.” In that same year, he explained, Massachusetts elected a GOP Senator (Scott Brown) for the first time since 1972! In Illinois, Joe Walsh beat Democrat congresswoman Melissa Bean by 300 or so votes!

In 1980 Reagan was down 8 points behind Carter a week before the election. On Election Day, Reagan’s electoral victory was 489-49!

As Speaker Gingrich points out, “No matter where you live, you cannot believe polls. Nearly all the major national polls were dead wrong in 2016, and nothing substantial has changed in the way that these same Washington Beltway pollsters are surveying Americans today. They continue to over-sample Democrats, under-sample Republicans, and focus on largely liberal urban and suburban areas while ignoring the middle of the country. There is no reason to believe the big Biden lead some of these polls are reporting.”

Even if it turns out that your state votes Blue, the stronger the Republican showing, the more pressure is put upon the elected to watch their backs and not wholesale rubber stamp every dumb leftist idea!

As for the distressing stories and words coming out of the mouths of Democratic/leftist, as well as RINO talking heads on Fox News that seem to bear the same weight as GOP/traditional voices… as Sean Hannity famously says, “Net not your heart be troubled”. Fox is a for-profit commercial company. Stirring up controversy, showing the conflict between Right and Left earns them ratings, which earns them profits. That anger that brews in your gut when you hear a Fox reporter or commentator say things that sound surprisingly leftist, just remember that when they do that it gives Leftists a reason to watch, thus generating revenue and profit for Fox as well!

If you really can’t stand hearing any leftist drivel (I know that the vast majority of my readers don’t watch the MSM except for amusement or entertainment value), I recommend One America News Network and Newsmax TV.

And for those of us who are news junkies, feeling our blood pressure jump up and down like a crazy stock market, I suggest turning off the tv and your computer altogether, putting on some soothing classical music, and picking up a good series of books, like William F. Buckley’s Blackford Oakes novels.

However you choose to spend the next few days until the marathon viewing session we’re all going to undertake on November 3rd and 4th…

MAKE SURE YOU VOTE, AND DO SO WITH YOUR BRAINS, NOT YOUR HEARTS! Set the theatrics aside and ask yourself, “Who, for President and at the state and local level, will help me, my family and my country more?” The answer should be obvious.

Spin vs. Lies

Headlines, Morality, Politics, Religion

As I have often stated, one can find evidence of what I’ll call “bad stuff”: bad rhetoric, bad behavior, on both sides of the political spectrum. However, the AMOUNT of bad stuff rendered by the Left dwarfs by several orders of magnitude the amount from the Right. Often it’s difficult to discern what is “spin” or trying to cast things in the best light, versus falsehood. What’s so extraordinary right now is that the Left doesn’t even try to ‘spin’ anymore. They out and out lie and expect cover from a sycophant main street media.

For instance, let’s take Trump’s spin on not disclosing his income tax returns. Anyone who prepares a long form tax return knows that even if it’s permissible to publish them in the middle of an audit, it’d be completely stupid to do so. Being under audit means there’s a dispute with the IRS and the last thing anyone should do is go public with their numbers…it would obviously prejudice the negotiations against the taxpayer!

Now, could there be other reasons why Trump wouldn’t want to disclose his returns? Yes, because returns require that one disclose assets, under penalty of perjury, and the VALUATION of an asset is always subjective. Trump says he is worth $10 billion. That could be true, if his assets are worth more than the difference between their value and his total debt (that’s the very definition of “worth”). Could the accountants and the IRS disagree on their value? Absolutely, and he may really be worth anywhere from nothing to some amount far greater than $10 billion. It doesn’t matter. He’s obviously rich, made a lot of money as a real estate developer, and paid a LOT in taxes over the years. The $750 canard is an attempt by the Left to suggest he paid little to no tax. Again, anyone with any knowledge of tax return preparation knows that amounts paid and amounts due vary tremendously across multiple years, and it’s entirely possible that Trump would have paid millions one year and not only pay nothing in a subsequent year, but even get a refund! Is he trying to spin this situation to cast things in the best light? Of course he is! But I’ll bet the accountants and tax attorneys working on his returns and negotiating with the IRS are doing everything they can to AVOID taxes, which is perfectly legal and appropriate for ANYONE to do in the U.S., rather than EVADE taxes, which is of course illegal!

Contrast the example of spin, described above, with Biden’s outright lies, which are deliberate falsehoods meant to deceive and deflect from the truth. These have been documented widely. Rather than reproduce them here, I’ll simply point you to the October 23, 2020 National Review article entitled “Biden Lies Again and Again” available here. Note, by the way, that the National Review is no tabloid.

The Left, as I’ve said before, will do ANYTHING, including outright lie, to achieve power. Biden, the consummate career politician, will do and continues to do the same.

That so many Americans will vote to grant power to the Democrats in this election is evidence of how effective their lying has been and how gullible so many have become. Just about half of the electorate now consists of voters who are either brainwashed, asleep, so anxious to be liked they have become lemmings, following the ‘woke’ celebrities with whom they’d like to identify, or, unfortunately, so lazy they’ll just vote the way they always have, or the way they were raised to vote. Never mind they’re shooting themselves in some vulnerable, private part, it’s more important that they be either anti-Trump or have the same signs as their neighbors than do what’s in their best self-interest, or in the interest of the country.

Optimistically, I don’t think the majority of Americans fall under the above description. Rather, they’re so busy working to take care of themselves and their families they don’t participate in polls, don’t talk about what they think, and don’t care what the ‘woke’ crowd says or does. It’s a small majority, regrettably, but a majority nonetheless. Because of the way the electoral map’s arithmetic works, it’s obvious that having more of the popular vote from New York, California and Illinois can and will still result in a victory for the Right on November 3rd. I’m quietly confident, however, this time the silent majority will speak up and the Right will win the popular vote as well as the electoral vote, resulting in a clear MANDATE (more on this in the future) to continue to reject Leftism.

Crucial/Supplemental Quotes for the Day

America, Government, Media, Politics, Quips & Quotes, Society & Culture, Values

Following are two quotes, one from Mark Levin on the subject of the corrupt media and one, from Tony Bobulinski, the former Biden family corruption enterprise partner that are a must read. They are reproduced, with attribution and credit, in full, below:

“For years the media tried to create a corruption scenario around President Trump and his family and utterly failed.  They lied, spun, deceived, you name it.  A daily drumbeat of propaganda. Now, where there’s a great deal of evidence of corruption developing around Joe, his son Hunter, &other family members, the media are actually defending Biden through various schemes, such as attacking Rudy Giuliani, concocting a “Russian disinformation” campaign& all the rest Never before has our country been confronted with such a corrupt and dishonest media enterprise.” Mark Levin, on Parler, 9:10 AM, October 22, 2020

“My name is Tony Bobulinski. The facts set forth below are true and accurate; they are not any form of domestic or foreign disinformation. Any suggestion to the contrary is false and offensive. I am the recipient of the email published seven days ago by the New York Post which showed a copy to Hunter Biden and Rob Walker. That email is genuine.

This afternoon I received a request from the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Government Affairs and the Senate Committee on Finance requesting all documents relating to my business affairs with the Biden family as well as various foreign entities and individuals. I have extensive relevant records and communications and I intend to produce those items to both Committees in the immediate future.

I am the grandson of a 37 year Army Intelligence officer, the son of a 20+ year career Naval Officer and the brother of a 28 year career Naval Flight Officer. I myself served our country for 4 years and left the Navy as LT Bobulinski. I held a high level security clearance and was an instructor and then CTO for Naval Nuclear Power Training Command. I take great pride in the time my family and I served this country. I am also not a political person. What few campaign contributions I have made in my life were to Democrats.

If the media and Big Tech companies had done their jobs over the past several weeks I would be irrelevant in this story. Given my long standing service and devotion to this great country, I could no longer allow my family’s name to be associated or tied to Russian disinformation or implied lies and false narratives dominating the media right now.

After leaving the military I became an institutional investor investing extensively around the world and on every continent. I have traveled to over 50 countries. I believe, hands down, we live in the greatest country in the world.

What I am outlining is fact. I know it is fact because I lived it. I am the CEO of Sinohawk Holdings which was a partnership between the Chinese operating through CEFC/Chairman Ye and the Biden family. I was brought into the company to be the CEO by James Gilliar and Hunter Biden. The reference to “the Big Guy” in the much publicized May 13, 2017 email is in fact a reference to Joe Biden. The other “JB” referenced in that email is Jim Biden, Joe’s brother.

Hunter Biden called his dad “the Big Guy” or “my Chairman,” and frequently referenced asking him for his sign-off or advice on various potential deals that we were discussing. I’ve seen Vice President Biden saying he never talked to Hunter about his business. I’ve seen firsthand 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.

I realized the Chinese were not really focused on a healthy financial ROI. They were looking at this as a political or influence investment. Once I realized that Hunter wanted to use the company as his personal piggy bank by just taking money out of it as soon as it came from the Chinese, I took steps to prevent that from happening.

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.

I would ask the Biden family to address the American people and outline the facts so I can go back to being irrelevant — and so I am not put in a position to have to answer those questions for them.

I don’t have a political ax to grind; I just saw behind the Biden curtain and I grew concerned with what I saw. The Biden family aggressively leveraged the Biden family name to make millions of dollars from foreign entities even though some were from communist controlled China.

God bless America.”

Trump vs. Biden

Today I’m pleased to share the thoughts of one of our readers who, in response to a friend who is rabidly anti-Trump, outlined the contrast between the two (quoted verbatim and in full with Editor’s additional notes italicized):

“I prefer “You are what you do, not what you say” so this is an abbreviated list of what Trump and Biden have done in public life:

Trump in 48 months:

  • Seated 150+ conservative judges as well as 2 and probably 3 Supreme Court Justices who are devotedly pro-life (Editor’s note: and adherents of the Constitution as written, not as the Left would like it to “evolve”.)
  • Best economy pre-covid, especially for blacks, Hispanics and women (Editor’s note: historically greater gains for low income earners than the wealthy)
  • Passed “Right to try” legislation for terminal patients
  • Passed tax reform (Editor’s note: directly impacting middle income families and causing economic growth to soar compared to anemic recovery under Obama/Biden.)
  • Criminal justice reform and enterprise zones and financial assistance to black colleges
  • Defeated ISIS (Editor’s note: killed its leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi)
  • (Editor’s note: killed the most dangerous terrorist in the world, Iran’s Qasem Soleimani)
  • Brokered a peace accord in the Middle East which continues to expand
  • Moved US embassy to Jerusalem
  • (Editor’s note: removed us from the absurd and dangerous Iran Nuclear Deal)
  • (Editor’s note: removed us from the extremely unfavorable Trans Pacific Partnership)
  • (Editor’s note: removed us from the ridiculous and punitive Paris Climate Accord)
  • Enhanced veterans benefits and strengthened the VA
  • Rebuilt our military (decimated by 8 years of Obama/Biden)
  • Created Space Force, the new arm of the military
  • Signed trade deals with Mex./Can, Korea, China, Japan
  • Protected our border from ILLEGAL immigration
  • Created operation warp speed to bring vaccines/therapeutics to treat covid to market as quickly as possible.
  • Donated Presidential salary to charity
  • (Editor’s note: achieved U.S. energy independence with attendant benefits for ALL Americans)

(Editor’s note: and accomplished all of the above while under direct and vicious serial attacks by the Left.)

Biden in 47 years

  • Wrong on every foreign policy decision as VP (per Gates the Sec of DOD during his tenure) (Editor’s note: including opposing going after Bin Laden)
  • Started the partisan rancor over supreme court nominees with his trashing of Robert Bork
  • Sponsored the most discriminatory crime bills in history
  • Chose the most liberal senator (even left of Bernie Sanders) as a running mate
  • Gives cover to Antifa and BLM, left wing anarchist organizations 
  • Sets his son up for influence peddling with Ukraine, China and Russia while responsible for relations with these countries and taking a cut of it
  • (Editor’s note: has flip-flopped for political expediency on the single most critical component of U.S. energy independence: fracking)

Not much positive to add here. 

The democratic party is not the party you knew 20 years ago and has only gotten worse. Remember Ronald Reagan’s famous line “I didn’t leave the democratic party, it left me”. It’s done the same to lots of former democrats.

So on the merits I’ll take a man of action (albeit one who should keep his mouth shut more often). This country can’t afford any further slide to socialism.”

(Editor’s note: Thank you Bob! I’ll add that if ever there were a case of words versus action on display, Trump vs. Biden is it! Biden has run his mouth off for years and years promising everything and accomplishing little to nothing. Trump has run his mouth off for four years, accomplishing much more than he promised, all of it beneficial for the entire nation!)
