Can there be any doubt that Biden, Obama and the democrat party at large are true enemies of the American people? If I live to be 100 I'll never understand the logic of the democrat voter.

Add this to the list of reasons why the transition needs to happen immediately. Old Demented can do a lot of damage in the five weeks he still has left in office.

Why? Was there a ten percent corrupt kickback that went into foreign bank accounts? You would think that the wimpy Congressional Republicans would want to shed some daylight on that expensive move by the outgoing Biden and crew?

I'm in agreement with #12. For some reason, Obama, Susan Rice, and Valerie Jarrett--Biden's undeclared puppetmasters and Domestic Enemies of the USA--want the Iran's Shia crazies, Khomeini's successors, to attain nuclear weapons with which they will destroy the Little Satan (Israel) with the connivance of the Great Satan, run by inside enemies until January 20. Soetoro's recent high dudgeon is a clue that his popularity is slipping. It damn well should. He never meant well for America. Americans have noticed. Now go 'way, Barry. Remember what Joan Rivers said.

Ever wonder why the HairSniffer was grinning so much as he met with Trump in the White House after the election? He knew that as he was being nice, his minions were -and are- working around the clock at breakneck speed to set so many evil things in motion -from starting a nuclear WWIII with Russia to funding the Islamic terrorists for several years into the future - that it will take President Trump his entire term to straighten it all out. They say that Biden is 'Mean as a Snake'. Believe it!

Admitting that I do not have the slightest clue what "sanction" means in this case, however, IF it pleases Joe Biden to do it, then it displeases people who wonder what his is up to. From elementary school Civics lessons, to me it just screams "aiding and abetting the enemy." I am 11 months older than Biden--he has seen the world I have seen, but through some other kind of lens.

In news that will surprise no one but the imbeciles in the mainstream press, Joe Biden is getting set to announce a pardon for his degenerate son. In September, Hunter Biden pleaded guilty to charges of unpaid taxes and tax evasion, putting him at risk of spending up to 17 years in a federal prison. That came after a jury found him guilty of separate gun charges in June.

Acollege degree used to be a reliable passport to a better-paying career. To employers it signaled a level of knowledge and intellectual skills not shared by someone without a degree. That's why students and parents have been willing to pay increasingly higher tuition, taking out student loans and second mortgages before the graduates earn a dime.

Jim Hoft wrote about that 3 years ago almost to the day, in a groundbreaking article based on material from Hunter’s ‘Laptop from Hell’. But now, the British Daily Mail is reporting on a new, previously unreported upon document that further demonstrate how shady money from overseas ended up in the hands and bank accounts of people involved in (or victims of) sex trafficking. Wells Fargo Financial Crime Investigators (FCI) suspected Joe Biden’s son was associated with a ‘sex trafficking ring’ and ‘falsified’ checks to pay prostitutes.

The discovery of a stash of cocaine in the White House became public because a hazmat team was sent in on the possibility that the white powdery substance might have been anthrax or some other deadly terror weapon. Were it not for the hazmat team’s highly visible and noteworthy arrival, I believe it is quite possible that the matter would have been handled with the discretion for which the Secret Service is famous (and notorious), protecting the privacy of the First Family. Now that we know about it, there are multiple signs that a coverup is underway to protect someone whom the Secret Service guards.

While Trump’s plans regarding how he plans to overhaul the Postal Service were not “immediately clear,” one of the sources told the outlet that Trump had met with “a group of transition officials” and had requested their input on “privatizing the agency.”
