Oh my: Hunter Biden firm got $130 million in bailout loans during dad’s VP term?
ED MORRISSEY Posted at 3:21 pm on November 21, 2019
If nothing else, this will remind everyone of the risks associated with government bailouts. In principle, they sound like a good idea in a time of crisis. In practice, however, the incentives to use them as slush funds for the well-connected are just too darned tasty to pass up. Case in point — Hunter Biden’s profit off of a bailout program his father was heavily promoting, as the Washington Examiner reported this morning.

The Cayman Islands tax dodge is just the icing on the swampy cake:
TALF was the follow-on to the more well-known Troubled Assets Relief Program (TARP), a program launched by Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson. While TARP aimed to stabilize the overall banking and finance sectors in regard to mortgages, TARF ostensibly targeted the consumer-lending markets by indemnifying the purchase of collapsed bonds. Paulson started TARF in late November 2008 with a reserve of $200 billion in government-guaranteed loans to investors willing to put up some of their own cash to deal with the bad assets in consumer credit lending.
It only got to spend $43 billion, however, because Congress started getting suspicious of just how those loan decisions were made. Eight years ago, Matt Taibbi reported for Rolling Stone on $220 million that went to spouses of well-connected Wall Street investors, which was emblematic of suspicions about the crony-capitalism operation of TARF.

“This is what welfare for the rich looks like,” Taibbi wrote at the time:

November 22, 2019British press drops bombshell story on Hunter Biden’s sexcapadesBy Peter Barry Chowka
A new story about Hunter Biden with details almost completely unreported in the U.S. media sheds additional unfavorable blinding light on former Vice President Joe Biden’s son. On November 20, the Daily Mail of London dropped an article “Hunter Biden, 49, IS the father of Arkansas woman's child, paternity test confirms” [emphasis original]. The revelation suggested by the title is but the tip of an emerging, large iceberg of tawdry and salacious news about Biden the younger.

The opening paragraphs in the story are bad enough:
Kathleen Biden, in her subsequent divorce from her husband, according to the Daily Mail, claimed:
Of particular note is the article’s sidebar titled “A Timeline of Hunter Biden’s Relationships:”
Once again, a U.S.-based story with implications for domestic politics that deserves reporting here is largely ignored by American mainstream media and is scooped instead by the British press.
Fox News followed up – or tried to – yesterday. As a news release emailed to journalists by Fox News Media Relations on Thursday afternoon noted:
In addition to Fox News, in the wake of Wednesday’s Daily Mail article a limited number of U.S. Internet media have started to pay some attention to the story of Hunter Biden’s “baby mama.”
Last month, the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette reported on Roberts’s legal filings in a story on October 22 “Hunter Biden willing to take DNA test in Arkansas paternity case, document shows,” but this development was not reported much in national media. Since Roberts is a resident of Arkansas, the Democrat-Gazette was one of the first local media to report the story.

The opening paragraphs in the story are bad enough:
The article then goes on to review the seldom-reported recent personal history of Hunter Biden since, according to the Daily Mail, he “was discharged from the US Naval Reserve in 2014, less than a year after being commissioned, after testing positive for cocaine and then his name, address and email were included when the cheating website Ashley Madison suffered a security breach in 2015.” For example, duly noted is the fact that Biden separated from his wife of 22 years, Kathleen Buhle Biden – the mother of the couple’s three children – in October 2015. Within 17 months he was reported to be “dating” his sister-in-law Hallie Biden, the widow of Hunter’s older brother Beau who died of cancer in April 2015.
Kathleen Biden, in her subsequent divorce from her husband, according to the Daily Mail, claimed:
The plot thickens as the Daily Mail reports a more recent update about Hunter Biden, which – considering the extensive reporting about him as part of the Ukraine scandal – is news to almost everyone:
As is often the case in its articles, the Daily Mail story is replete with photographs that help to advance the narrative. The article is highly recommended.
Of particular note is the article’s sidebar titled “A Timeline of Hunter Biden’s Relationships:”
[Note: The Daily Mail reported earlier in the same article that the courtship of Hunter Biden and Melissa Cohen lasted ten days. In a puff piece report on ABC News's late night program Nightline on October 17, Biden said the two lovebirds knew each other for only six days before they were married.]
Once again, a U.S.-based story with implications for domestic politics that deserves reporting here is largely ignored by American mainstream media and is scooped instead by the British press.
Fox News followed up – or tried to – yesterday. As a news release emailed to journalists by Fox News Media Relations on Thursday afternoon noted:
The transcript does not convey Biden’s sarcasm in responding to Doocy’s question, which is evident in the video clip of the exchange provided by Fox News.

Since Roberts is a resident of Arkansas, the Democrat-Gazette was one of the first local media to report the story.
With Hunter Biden’s name being mentioned as someone who Republicans would like to subpoena as a witness in the presumed upcoming impeachment trial of President Trump in the U.S. Senate, it will be interesting to see if there is much additional reporting about him.

The Common Property Approach
The first few years of the settlement were fraught with hardship and hunger. Four centuries later, they also provide us with one of history’s most decisive verdicts on the critical importance of private property. We should never forget that the Plymouth colony was headed straight for oblivion under a communal, socialist plan but saved itself when it embraced something very different.
In the diary of the colony’s first governor, William Bradford, we can read about the settlers' initial arrangement: Land was held in common. Crops were brought to a common storehouse and distributed equally. For two years, every person had to work for everybody else (the community), not for themselves as individuals or families. Did they live happily ever after in this socialist utopia?
Hardly. The “common property” approach killed off about half the settlers. Governor Bradford recorded in his diary that everybody was happy to claim their equal share of production, but production only shrank. Slackers showed up late for work in the fields, and the hard workers resented it. It’s called “human nature.”
The disincentives of the socialist scheme bred impoverishment and conflict until, facing starvation and extinction, Bradford altered the system. He divided common property into private plots, and the new owners could produce what they wanted and then keep or trade it freely.
Communal socialist failure was transformed into private property/capitalist success, something that’s happened so often historically it’s almost monotonous. The “people over profits” mentality produced fewer people until profit—earned as a result of one’s care for his own property and his desire for improvement—saved the people.

“I was attacked on the debate stage for going on Fox News. How do you think you’re going to lead this country, all Americans, if you’re completely, not only shutting out and not willing to talk to half the country that watches Fox News, but you’re in fact disrespecting and dismissing them just because they may disagree with you, or they watch a different news channel,” she continued. “I think that’s the bigger issue here.”
The Democratic Party’s hatred for Fox News runs so deep that the Democratic National Committee has refused to have the channel moderate a debate for the presidential primary, which followed Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s (D-MA) earlier pledge to blacklist the network. Even the far-left hosts on “The View” expressed dismay over the candidate’s unwillingness to make her case before the Fox News crowd.
“It may be a minority opinion, but I think that it’s being very dismissive of so many Americans for her not to go on Fox News,” co-host Sunny Hostin said. “I think if you want to be the president of the United States, for everyone, then you need to speak to everyone.”
“If you can’t face the Fox audience, you can’t face the U.S. It’s that simple,” chimed in Whoopi Goldberg.
So much HATE.

SHAPIRO: Pete Buttigieg’s Big Mistake: Telling The Truth
This week, South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg, who has risen to the top of the heap in early Democratic presidential primary polling in Iowa and New Hampshire, came under serious sustained attack for the first time in his candidacy. Buttigieg’s early candidacy gained credibility thanks to...
But the latest attack is on Buttigieg’s entire political mentality. This week, an article from Michael Harriot at The Root, titled “Pete Buttigieg Is a Lying MF,” trended on Twitter. What, exactly, was Buttigieg’s lie? He suggested back in 2011 that not all educational outcome disparities between blacks and whites are attributable to systemic racism. “The kids need to see evidence that education is going to work for them,” Buttigieg stated (“whitely,” in Harriot’s adjective). “(Y)ou’re motivated because you believe that at the end of your educational process, there is a reward; there’s a stable life; there’s a job. And there are a lot of kids, especially the lower-income, minority neighborhoods, who literally just haven’t seen it work. There isn’t somebody they know personally who testifies to the value of education.”
According to Harriot, this statement makes Buttigieg a “lying motherf*****.” Why? Because majority-minority schools are underfunded compared with majority-white schools; because black students are “disciplined more harshly than white students,” as Harriot says; because black college graduates don’t have as successful an employment record as white college graduates. “Get-along moderates would rather make s*** up out of whole cloth than wade into the waters of reality,” Harriot wrote. “Pete Buttigieg doesn’t want to change anything. He just wants to be something.”

The only reason Joe Biden is running for President is to become a
target for the impeachment farce.....
He is literally the sacrificial lamb for the DEMOCRATIC PARTY to draw
away attention from their Massive Criminal deeds..
.Everyone with any common sense can see this.....he is the worst
candidate I have EVER EVER seen ....
And again the DEMOCRATIC PARTY KNOWS THIS !
This was nothing about him running for POTUS and everything about
being used as a setup for Impeaching the President because...
PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS CAUGHT THEM....!
