Solyndra was a manufacturer of cylindrical panels of copper indium gallium selenide (CIGS) thin film solar cells based in Fremont, California. Although the company was once touted for its unusual technology, plummeting silicon prices led to the company’s being unable to compete with conventional solar panels made of crystalline silicon. On August 31, 2011, Solyndra announced it was filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, laying off 1,100 employees, and shutting down all operations and manufacturing. The company filed for bankruptcy on September 1, 2011.

THIS IS THE GREEN NEW DEAL – A COMPLETE FAILURE COSTING TAXPAYERS ALMOST $1 BILLION LARGE

In September 2011 the company ceased all business activity, filed for bankruptcy under Chapter 11, Title 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code, and laid off all employees. The company was also sued by employees who were abruptly laid off. Solyndra was raided by the FBI investigating the company. Federal agents visited the homes of Brian Harrison, the company’s CEO, and Chris Gronet, the company’s founder, to examine computer files and documents. Also, in September 2011, the US Department of the Treasury launched an investigation. Bloomberg reported in 2011 that Solyndra’s $733 million plant had whistling robots and spa showers, along with many other signs of extravagant spending,

Solyndra received a $535 million U.S. Department of Energy loan guarantee, the first recipient of a loan guarantee under President Barack Obama’s economic stimulus program, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.

However, Solyndra officials used inaccurate information to mislead the Department of Energy in its application. The loan program took a $528 million loss from Solyndra. Additionally, Solyndra received a $25.1 million tax break from California’s Alternative Energy and Advanced Transportation Financing Authority. SoloPower also received similar funding from the U.S. Department of Energy.

Solyndra’s owners, Argonaut Ventures I LLC and Madrone Partners LP” will “realize the tax benefits of between $875 million and $975 million of net operating losses, while more senior creditors, including the Department of Energy, which provided a $535 million loan guarantee to Solyndra, will receive nearly nothing.”

The competency of a defendant in a 2015 homicide case that figured prominently in Donald Trump’s run for president is being reviewed by a federal judge, according to a report.https://eb38d09dd5a6f7d98601c918610ede04.safeframe.googlesyndication.com/safeframe/1-0-37/html/container.html

Illegal immigrant Jose Ines Garcia Zarate of Mexico is facing federal gun charges in the shooting death of Kate Steinle, 32, who authorities say was struck by gunfire when she visited a crowded pier in San Francisco.

In part because Zarate was a convicted felon and had previously been deported from the U.S. five times, the case sparked a national debate about so-called “sanctuary cities” such as San Francisco, and other aspects of U.S. immigration policies.

Defense attorneys for Zarate have claimed he found the gun and fired it accidentally. He stood trial in 2017 on charges that included murder but a San Francisco Superior Court jury acquitted him of all charges except being a felon in possession of a firearm, The Associated Press reported.

That conviction, however, was later overturned by an appeals court, the report said.

When the initial verdict was announced, Trump – who was nearing the end of his first year as president – called the jury’s decision “disgraceful.”

“No wonder the people of our Country are so angry with illegal immigration,” the president wrote at the time.https://platform.twitter.com/embed/index.html?dnt=false&embedId=twitter-widget-0&frame=false&hideCard=false&hideThread=false&id=936437372706836480&lang=en&origin=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.foxnews.com%2Fus%2Fcompetency-of-kate-steinles-alleged-killer-being-reviewed-by-federal-judge&siteScreenName=foxnews&theme=light&widgetsVersion=ed20a2b%3A1601588405575&width=550px

Zarate has been in custody since July 1, 2015, the day of the shooting, and has been awaiting a new trial on the weapons charge. But the case is pending because in January, U.S. District Court Judge Vince Chhabria expressed “serious concerns” about the defendant’s mental status, the AP reported.

Two doctors have diagnosed Zarate as being schizophrenic and declared him unfit to stand trial, claiming he is unable to follow court proceedings.

Zarate reportedly wanted to plead guilty at a hearing Friday but the judge would not allow it, according to the AP.

In January, a California judge threw out a lawsuit brought by Steinle’s parents, who had argued the federal government was liable for their daughter’s death because the gun had been reported stolen from a car used by a ranger from the U.S. Bureau of Land Management.

“Aside from the fact that the stolen gun was used, there is no evidence that the shooting was in any way connected to the theft,” U.S. Chief Magistrate Judge Joseph C. Spero wrote in his 14-page ruling.

The Friday hearing was expected to include some closed-door testimony by Zarate before Chhabria, the San Francisco Examiner reported – though the reason for that portion was not clear.

The United States Census (plural censuses or census) is a census that is legally mandated by the US Constitution, and takes place every 10 years.

President Donald Trump ordered requiring the Census Bureau to exclude illegal immigrants from the state-by-state count on July 21, 2020. Social scientists are concerned that this will damage the overall quality of the 2020 census.

Supreme Court To Intervene in Explosive Census Fight

The Supreme Court announced Friday it will review President Trump’s effort to exclude undocumented immigrants from the official tally used to distribute U.S. House seats among the states.

Trump upended the traditional approach to the once-a-decade process in July when he ordered that undocumented immigrations be effectively subtracted from the 2020 census for the purpose of determining congressional seats and Electoral College.

Trump’s petition to the high court came after a three-judge panel of a New York-based federal court blocked his plan last month, ruling that it was an “unlawful exercise of authority” by the president.

The Supreme Court on Friday agreed to fast-track a review of the lower court decision, which sided with the coalition behind the initial suit which includes New York and a group of 20 states, cities and localities. The justices set a Nov. 30 date for arguments in the case

The only reason for Democrats to advocate the counting of illegal aliens is to continue the attack on all United States Citizens. Representative apportionment is based on population count; it doesn’t matter if you are an illegal alien or here on any other legal reason, for example a student or HB-1 visa exemption. Bottom line here is that Sanctuary States and Cities provide a magnet for the illegal to cross our borders with impunity.

Floods of illegals hitting the streets of liberal progressive global thinking states will effectively cause the population count to increase substantially, thereby giving the particular state more representation in congress. This is what we call “POPULATION PACKING.”

It is very clear to those of us citizens who obey the law, do the right thing, honor our country and flag, but because of criminal Democrats, lose their rights as a citizen. When the court convenes to hear this most important case, with Amy Cony Barrett seated, we expect a decision in favor of Trump.

Hunter Biden also had business dealings in Kazakhstan: report

By Jon Levine

October 17, 2020 | 6:24pm

Between 2012 and 2014 — when his father Joe Biden served as Vice President — Hunter Biden worked as a go-between to Kenes Rakishev, a Kazakh oligarch with close ties to the country’s longtime kleptocratic leader Nursultan Nazarbayev, The Daily Mail reported.

The British tabloid said they obtained emails from “anti-corruption campaigners” in Kazakhstan showing Hunter making contact with Rakishev and attempting to facilitate investment for his cash in New York, Washington DC and a Nevada mining company.

What are the Bidens accused of in China?

The New York Post also cited a purported email from Hunter Biden indicating that he was receiving a $10m annual fee from a Chinese billionaire for “introductions alone”, though it is unclear who was involved in the alleged introductions.

Hunter flew in 2013 aboard Air Force Two with his father, who was US vice-president, on an official visit to Beijing, where the younger Biden met investment banker Jonathan Li.

Hunter told the New Yorker he just met Mr Li for “a cup of coffee”, but 12 days after the trip a private equity fund, BHR Partners, was approved by the Chinese authorities. Mr Li was chief executive and Hunter was a board member. He would hold a 10% stake.

BHR is backed by some of China’s largest state banks and by local governments, according to US media.

Hunter Biden’s lawyer said he had joined the board in an unpaid position “based on his interest in seeking ways to bring Chinese capital to international markets”.

His lawyer also said his client did not acquire his financial stake in BHR until 2017, after his father had left office in the US.

Hunter resigned from the board of BHR in April 2020, but still held his 10% stake in BHR as of July this year, according to the company report.

0ne example of such was a video clip posted to C-SPAN’s website on Sept. 21, 2019 under the title “Joe Biden Confesses to Bribery.” The video was accompanied by a caption reading “Former Vice President Joe Biden confesses to being in charge of Ukraine for the Obama Administration, and withholding $1 billion in loan guarantees from the USA to force Ukraine to fire prosecutor who was looking into the company that Hunter Biden was receiving $83,000+ PER MONTH from”:

So they said they had — they were walking out to a press conference. I said, nah, I’m not going to — or, we’re not going to give you the billion dollars. They said, you have no authority. You’re not the president. The president said — I said, call him. I said, I’m telling you, you’re not getting the billion dollars. I said, you’re not getting the billion. I’m going to be leaving here in, I think it was about six hours. I looked at them and said: I’m leaving in six hours. If the prosecutor is not fired, you’re not getting the money. Well, son of a bitch. (Laughter.) He got fired. And they put in place someone who was solid at the time.

Hillary Clinton sold out the United States for millions of dollars.

ut the circumstantial evidence is pretty strong. Here are some of the highlights:

• Douglas Band, the Clinton Foundation’s top executive, asked the state department if Clinton could meet with “our good friend” Bahraini Crown Prince Sheikh Salman. Salman, who had given the foundation $32 million, met with Clinton. Clinton later approved a $630 million arms sale to Bahrain, according to the International Business Times.

• A Ukrainian magnate named Victor Pinchuk gave the Clinton Foundation between $10 million and $25 million. While Clinton was secretary of state, her aides set up “about a dozen meetings with State Department officials on behalf of or with Mr. Pinchuk to discuss the continuing political crisis in continuing political crisis in Ukraine,” according to the New York Times.
• In 2009, Band told Clinton aide Huma Abedin to secure a meeting for a Lebanese billionaire who had also given millions to the foundation. That donor, Ronald Chagoury, controlled a development in Lagos where the State Department was considering constructing a consulate, according to CNN. (The consulate wasn’t built.)
• S. Daniel Abraham, a billionaire who gave up to $10 million to the Clinton Foundation, was also granted access to meet with Clinton, according to the released emails. (Abraham is also the head of the Center for Middle East Peace.)
• A top Clinton Foundation executive left about 150 voicemails for state department aide Cheryl Mills over the course of two years, according to call logs obtained by Fox News.
• While secretary of state, Clinton met with at least 85 donors who had given the foundation as much as $156 million, according to the Associated Press. And that’s just the ones we know about. (As the AP has pointed out, the State Department is stonewalling the release of Clinton’s schedule — meaning we probably only know a fraction of the actual meetings she held with donors.)

Again, you don’t have to think Clinton is corrupt to think she was probably more likely to meet with people in her family’s orbit. And you don’t have to be a conspiracy theorist to think it’d be easier to be in her orbit by giving buckets of cash to her family’s charity.

“There’s no doubt in anyone’s mind that a large number of the Clinton Foundation donors who met with her gave partly to get access to the Clintons,” says William English, a professor of ethics, economics, and public policy at Georgetown University. “It looks essentially like a nonprofit that has the conspicuous benefit of being a great place where people can get access to Clinton and her staff.”

Hope you guys are well. Stay healthy, wash your hands, social distance and you will be alright.

The information provided is for your education on the corruption that is taking place right under your very eyes. Weigh what we have to say, then ask yourself if it is time for you to break free from the slave masters of the Democrat Party. Joe Biden has lied to you and the American people.

Just wanted to bring you up on the latest news concerning the La Famiglia Biden. Please read about it by Clicking here. Do you have questions concerning the corruption here? V.P. Biden had a Ukrainian prosecutor fired because he was investigating Hunter Biden’s “quid pro quo” with the Ukrainian firm Burisma. They only paid him $80,000 a month for doing nothing. These aren’t allegations, these are facts. JOE BIDEN IS NOT INTERESTED IN THE UNITED STATES, JOE BIDEN IS INTERESTED IN LINING HIS POCKETS.

Oh, we forgot, Hunter introduced the Ukrainian oil guy to his father, V.P. Sleepy Joe. And now that we have Hunter’s laptop, more evidence of corruption has been exposed. The Big Guy (V.P. Joe) was to get $10 million large. Oh, we just can’t let this one go, the Ukrainian Rainmaker, slipped in the back door at the White House, like Monica. That is why no official records exist of his visit.

Perhaps you don’t subscribe to Fox News, but we ask this question. Why have the major media outlets, Facebook, Twitter, NBC, ABC, CBS not covered this story. Matter of fact they don’t cover any story that sheds a bad light on Corrupt Shakedown Artist Joe Biden. In fact they are BRAINWASHING YOU TO THE TRUTH. They don’t want you to know that the most corrupt politician is running for President. If he gets in it will be worse. He will sell your children’s jobs to the Chinese.

See below on School Choice. Do you know why they promulgate Union Run Education Systems? Because that is how they provide false information to your children. A technique learned a long time ago by Hitler’s SS. Influence the young mind into your way of thinking and you no longer will be able to think for yourself. This is called brains washing. They are keeping you down on the Plantation. So Wake Up to these present day slave masters. Break free of the chains of Democrat racism once and for all.

One email, dated May 13, 2017, and obtained by Fox News, includes a discussion of “remuneration packages” for six people in a business deal with a Chinese energy firm. The email appeared to identify Hunter Biden as “Chair / Vice Chair depending on agreement with CEFC,” in an apparent reference to now-bankrupt CEFC China Energy Co.

So we now ask your communities why is it that your son or daughter has been arrested for a smoking a joint or petty theft; yeah, sent to the slammer for years like this guy who spent 36 years in jail for stealing $50. AND JOE BIDEN AND HIS CORRUPT FAMILY HAS ESCAPED THE LAW. IS THERE TWO JUSTICE SYSTEMS HERE. AND HILLARY, DESTROYING EVIDENCE THAT WOULD PROVE THAT SHE SOLD THE OFFICE OF SECRETARY OF STATE.

PLEASE BLACK AND HISPANIC/LATINO COMMUNITIES, WEIGHT THE EVIDENCE, THE DEMOCRAT CORRUPTION THAT PANDERS TO YOU AT ELECTION TIME. SEE WHAT THEY HAVE DONE. THEY CONDONED SLAVERY THEN AND CONDONE IT NOW. THEY ARE AGAINST SCHOOL CHOICE BECAUSE THEY DO NOT WANT YOU TO KNOW THE TRUTH.

YOU DON’T LIVE IN A TEN MILLION ($10,000,000) MANSION LIKE JOE BIDEN. WHERE DID HE GET THE MONEY TO PURCHASE THIS OUTLANDISH ABODE? THE EVIDENCE IS CONCLUSIVE; FROM SHAKING DOWN FOREIGN GOVERNMENTS SO HIS FAMILY CAN FEAST AT THE HAND OF CORRUPTION BY SELLING OUT THE UNITED STATES TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER.

FOR AMERICA, FOR THE PEOPLE, VOTE DONALD J. TRUMP

Johnny Law is closing in on the Biden’s. Coke addict son caught in a criminal conspiracy with the Chinese communists. Not only was Hillary a crook, the whole Obama administration is guilty of a mass conspiracy and corruption. Now America sees why they tried to cover this up.

The ex-veep called “a lid” for the day at 9:41 a.m. Wednesday, indicating he’d make no more appearances. So reporters couldn’t push him about his past claims that he’d “never spoken to my son about his overseas business dealings” now that data from an old hard drive suggest that’s not so.

Vadym Pozharskyi, a top Burisma adviser, emailed Hunter in May 2014 asking for “advice on how you could use your influence” on the company’s behalf. Then he emailed a note of gratitude on April 17, 2015, a year after Hunter had been brought on with a salary reported to be $50,000 a month: “Dear Hunter, thank you for inviting me to DC and giving an opportunity to meet your father and spent [sic] some time together. It’s realty [sic] an honor and pleasure.”
