Well we wrapped up OUR THIRTEENTH year. Started the NBTP on January 1, 2008 when there wasn’t a scant chance of convincing anyone that a revolution was “a’brewin.” Here we are a BAKER’S dozen years later blazing our wagons from East to West, from North to South.
2021 will NOT BE A HAPPY YEAR COMPARED TO 2016. That was the year that we, the true patriots, elevated Trump to the Presidency of the United States. Being the culmination of our success when Americans, those with the sense of pride, patriotism and duty, first elected an outsider to drain the swamp.
They impeached him, they sicked a special council on him, but through it all President Trump stood tall. He is a man of integrity and wit. We will not see the last of him. TRUMP IS AMERICA, AMERICA LOVES TRUMP!
But then something happened on November 3, 2020, the election was STOLEN IN THE GREATEST THEFT KNOWN TO MAN.
She rests in her grave today, but to quote Supreme Court Justice RBG, “I can’t imagine what this place would be — I can’t imagine what the country would be — with Donald Trump as our president.” Americans can imagine what this place would be without Donald J. Trump as president.
Your God did not see it that way. He provided Trump with the greatest gift of all. We will leave it at that.
Wishing “You’all” a VERY HAPPY, HEALTHY AND PROSPERO ANO Y FELICIDAD.
STOP THE STEAL, MAKE LIFE MISERABLE FOR THE XIDEN PRESIDENCY; MAKE XI PROUD THAT HE WAS ABLE TO DECIMATE OUR COUNTRY WITH THE CHINA VIRUS, THE SAME VIRUS THAT XIDEN CALLS COVID-19.
Sleepy Joe is AFRAID TO PLACE BLAME BECAUSE THE XIDEN’S ARE BOUGHT AND PAID FOR BY THE CHINESE COMMUNIST PARTY.
We know what they did on November 3, 2020, now they are attempting the same shenanigans on January 5, 2021; that is THE BIG STEAL David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler are in a fight to save America. If we lose this fight we will lose our future. There is no getting away from it.
Georgia’s senate election has the eyes of the country on it as incumbent GOP candidates, Sen. David Perdue and Sen. Kelley Loeffler face off in a highly contested race against challengers Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock for not just seats in the high chamber of Congress, but for majority control of the Senate.
The criminals in Georgia are bringing in boat loads of slaves from all over the country; they are registering them as Georgian residents. Then after the election these miscreants will vaporize from the Peach Tree State. A long time ago Georgia was one of the thirteen original colonies; a southern slave state. They are now free, but the demagogues will tell you different. That is one big lie.
AND A CRIMINAL JUDGE DID NOT RECUSE HERSELF. THIS IS A DECLARATION OF WAR.
A vote for the Donkey Party will set Georgians back to the dayS of Slavery. The great citizens of Georgia will become slaves of BIG GOVERNMENT AND THE DEEP SWAMP.
Georgia joined the Confederate States in succession by writ in January 1861. Their claim then was the usurpation of their rights provided to them by the Constitution. The north (Washington) demanded that they free the slaves (slaves were defined as property back in the day). Georgians were outraged by by this. How can the Federal Government ask for such by interfering in our commerce which at the time was solely based on agriculture; the north was an industrial powerhouse at that time. So Georgia succeeded.
And now we have come full circle. Those who seek to control your person, your property and your life once again invaded Georgia with illegals and such who are brazenly attempting to do what they did during the Civil War, take over.
We can’t let this happen. We remind all Americans, that we do not advocate that any citizen of the United States be second class or treated as second class. We do not see the color of their skin, but judge them by the “content of their character.” The Democrats try to paint the picture that we are akin to those who proffered slavery. That is one BIG LIE.
These bellegerants have only one cause and that is to take CONTROL OF THE SENATE.
WE MUST STOP THEM AT ALL COSTS. THIS IS A WAR THAT WE MUST WIN. OUR LEGACY IS AT STAKE. CIVIL WAR IS IN THE OFFING! VOTELOEFFLER AND PERDUE. SAVE AMERICA!
Police visited the home of Nashville bomber Anthony Quinn Warner in 2019 after his girlfriend told authorities he was making bombs inside his recreational vehicle, according to a report.
Documents obtained by The Tennessean newspaper of Nashville appeared to contradict a claim this week by the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation that Warner was “not on our radar” prior to a massive Christmas morning explosion of an RV outside an AT&T building in the downtown area of the state’s capital city.
We still don’t know the motive as of yet, but many theories are emerging. Was he against the rollout of 5G? Was he a previous At&t employee? They don’t say. But we do know for certain that he unequivocally targeted the At&t building.
The FBI ID’d him from remains that were found in the blown-up camper truck and the other debris that was scattered at the scene. We are so thankful that no innocents were unnecessarily killed.
We bet that the FBI is asking for all of the message tapes and recordings from Anthony Quinn Warner’s phone that were to At&t. These data recordings may span weeks, but are evidence that needs to be examined. Beside that, these recordings and they do exist must be made public. We have a right to know why At&t was the primary target.
From the Fox News story in the comment section this one stands out:
Taxespaid writes: he probably called Att/DirecTV about his account. After 15 minutes of message tree, “one for English, Is this call about your internet, TV or land line, technical or billing”, then the call was dropped and he had to repeat the process only to reach someone half way around the world who spoke broken English and then pushed to upgrade his service.
Elaine Chao’s tenure as transportation secretary has been marked by significant ethics concerns and reports of favoritism, from special treatment for Kentucky-specific requests to efforts to boost her family’s shipping company or bolster the political agenda of her husband, Sen. Mitch McConnell.
Foremost Group is an American shipping company with offices in the United States and Asia. Founded in New York in 1964 by Dr. James S.C. Chao and his late wife, Mrs. Ruth Mulan Chu Chao, the company today is a global leader in the dry bulk shipping industry and has earned a worldwide reputation for its commitment to exceptional service and performance while always holding itself to the highest ethical standards.
The family of Elaine Chao, the transportation secretary and wife of Mitch McConnell, the Senate majority leader, has high-level political connections not only in the United States but also in China. That gives the family unusual status in the world’s two largest economies.
Through interviews, industry filings and government documents from both countries, The New York Times found that the Chaos, and by extension Mr. McConnell, prospered as the family’s shipping company developed deeper business ties in China. Along the way, one of the company’s boosters was Ms. Chao, who now oversees efforts to promote America’s own maritime industry, which is in steep decline as China’s shipping sector rises in global dominance. Here are five takeaways.
DIANNE FEINSTEIN – INCEST IS BEST
First on that list of those deserving of close attention is the senior U.S. senator from California, Dianne Feinstein—a longtime member of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence—who briefly made headlines a few years ago when reports surfaced that she had been forced to fire a longtime aide after learning from the FBI that he had been recruited on behalf of the People’s Republic of China (PRC).
No one represents the marriage of American policy toward China and doing business with the PRC better than Feinstein. Her promotion of trade with China to advance the interests of her constituents turned into apologetics on behalf of the Communist Party, as it aided her political ascent and augmented her husband’s portfolio. In October, USA Todaylisted Feinstein as the sixth-richest member of Congress, with a net worth of $58.5 million—a sum that vastly understates her actual wealth. Richard Blum, her husband, is himself worth at least another $1 billion.
When Feinstein was first elected to the Senate in 1992, Blum’s interests in China amounted to less than $500,000. She was named to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee in 1995 and by 1997, according to the Los Angeles Times, “Blum’s interest had grown to between $500,001 and $1 million.”
In 1994, Blum’s company, Blum Capital, had entered a joint venture to found Newbridge Capital, specializing in emerging markets, including Asia. Blum said in 1997 that less than 2% of the approximately $1.5 billion that his firm managed was committed to China. He held a $300 million stake in Northwest Airlines when it operated the only nonstop service from the United States to cities in China. In 2002, Newbridge was negotiating to acquire 20% of Shenzhen Development Bank. After some rough seas, it paid $145 million for an 18% share two years later, marking the first time a Chinese bank came under control of a foreign entity.
Feinstein says that Blum’s business in China had no effect on her foreign policy or trade positions regarding the country. “We have built a firewall,” she said of her relationship with her husband. “That firewall has stood us in good stead.”
Sen. Dianne Feinstein’s Ties To China Go Way Deeper Than An Alleged Office Spy Sen. Dianne Feinstein’s warm relationship with and advocacy for Communist China go back decades and involve millions, if not billions, of dollars.
“According to four former intelligence officials, in the 2000s, a staffer in Senator Dianne Feinstein’s San Francisco field office was reporting back to the MSS [China’s Ministry of State Security, its intelligence and security apparatus]. While this person, who was a liaison to the local Chinese community, was fired, charges were never filed against him. (One former official reasoned this was because the staffer was providing political intelligence and not classified information—making prosecution far more difficult.) The suspected informant was ‘run’ by officials based at China’s San Francisco Consulate, said another former intelligence official. The spy’s handler ‘probably got an award back in China’ for his work, noted this former official, dryly.”
President Trump announced Tuesday that he was immediately suspending funding to the World Health Organization (WHO). The State Department was otherwise poised to hand over to the WHO $893 million over the next two years. The President’s move came in response to the actions of the WHO and particularly its Director, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, in defending China’s handling of the coronavirus pandemic. Estimates are that 95% of the deaths worldwide from the ongoing pandemic could have been avoided had Chinese authorities not lied about the scope of the outbreak and had instead warned the world of the scope of the problem on their soil.
Pelosi may present herself as the defender of the little guy. She is anything but. In 2018 her net worth was roughly $160 million. She is married to Paul Pelosi who runs a top tier investment and real estate firm in San Francisco. Over the course of decades, as Nancy has risen through the ranks of the Democratic Party, the Pelosi’s have gotten fabulously wealthy.
There have been any number of allegations over the decades that Nancy and her husband have profited in ways that are clearly illegal from the access a senior politician enjoys. Over a span of years, Nancy Pelosi used her influence to steer more than $1 billion to the expansion of a light rail line into a San Francisco neighborhood where her husband owned commercial property and in which business associates of his then purchased additional properties. The value of real estate in the area exploded with the arrival of light rail, and the Pelosi’s made a killing.
According to her 2011 financial disclosure statement, Pelosi received between $1 million and $5 million in partnership income from Matthews International Capital Management LLC, a group, which brags about its “singular focus on investing in Asia.” Paul Pelosi was listed as one of the Directors of Matthews International Capital when it was formed in 2010.Funds managed by the company include the Asian Growth and Income Fund, the China Dividend Fund, the Pacific Tiger Fund, and the China Fund.
The description of the Matthews China Fund reads in part, “Under normal market conditions, the Matthews China Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing at least 80% of its net assets, which include borrowings for investment purposes, in the common and preferred stocks of companies located in China.” The most recent SEC report for Matthews International shows huge stock holdings in Chinese companies like BiliBili, China Mobile, Huazhu Grou, Weibo and Yum China Holdings. Matthews has $24 billion in investments under management.

A company tied to the husband of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi showed up among hundreds of thousands of recipients of loans from the $669 billion Paycheck Protection Program.
Paul Pelosi is “a minor, passive investor” in the firm, said Drew Hammill, a spokesman for Nancy Pelosi. “He was not involved in or even aware of this PPP loan.”
The loan to a limited partnership that has an investment in a California hotel turned up in disclosures for the program that were released Monday by the Treasury Department and Small Business Administration. In addition, three foundations associated with congressional caucuses were listed as loan recipients.
The partnership, EDI Associates, is listed as a recipient of a loan between $350,000 and $1 million. The company was listed in Nancy Pelosi’s latest House financial disclosure report filed in May 2019, for the year 2018. Paul Pelosi is a businessman and investor.
The California Democrat, of Monterey Park, accused McCarthy of “stoking xenophobia.”
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy is taking heat for calling Covid-19 the “Chinese coronavirus” in a recent tweet — a reference that prompted the Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to demand an apology Tuesday.

Spokespeople for Jim Biden and Joe’s presidential campaign declined interview requests for the brothers. In response to questions, campaign spokesman Andrew Bates said that Joe Biden had no involvement in Jim Biden’s loans and did not arrange for supporters to help his brother. Bates also said that the former vice president knew “nothing” about his brother’s investments and was unaware that Jim had often been delinquent on his federal taxes or that the IRS had placed liens on his home. Bates said Oldaker is not involved in the 2020 campaign.
“The vice president and his brother have always understood and agreed that James’ business ventures are separate from and independent of Joe Biden’s career in public life,” Bates said.
A source with knowledge of Jim Biden’s finances said that he and his wife, Sara, have sometimes failed to pay their taxes on time because “they are largely self-employed and sometimes have an unclear picture of how their year will end financially,” but that they have always paid in full, including interest and penalties.
Recognizing a potential minefield, Joe has avoided responsibility for or financial involvement in his brother’s ventures, according to longtime advisers. Yet on occasion, as Jim pursued opportunities, Joe met with his potential clients or partners, at Jim’s request.
In 2002, Joe addressed a Washington conference of the National Association of State Treasurers, whom Jim was courting on behalf of lawyers who wanted to represent state pension funds. “Jim offered that his brother,” who usually took the train home to Delaware in the evening, “was just happening to be in town,” said Pamela Taylor, then the group’s executive director. “He said: ‘He’s going to spend the night in D.C. Would you like him?’”
Taylor reached out to Joe, who had previously been invited by Delaware’s state treasurer but hadn’t firmly committed. Joe spoke to the group over breakfast, analyzing the prospects for war in Iraq. “It was perfect,” Taylor recalled.
Jim Biden has been at his older brother’s side at nearly every critical juncture in Joe’s personal and political life. As fundraiser for his brother’s first Senate race in 1972, he helped launch Joe’s political career.
That same year, Jim broke the news to Joe that his wife, Neilia, and baby had died in a car accident, and he then watched over his brother day and night. When Joe was hospitalized with a brain aneurysm more than 15 years later, it was Jim who “was working the phone,” looking worldwide for the best neurosurgeon, according to Richard Ben Cramer’s book, “What It Takes,” which profiled the candidates for president in 1988.
But Jim has also been a political vulnerability. While a plagiarism scandal put pressure on Joe to drop out of the presidential race in 1987, protecting his brother from reporters asking about Jim’s shaky finances was the final impetus for Joe’s withdrawal, according to Cramer. “They were going after Jimmy; it wasn’t just Joe anymore,” Cramer wrote.
In the 2020 campaign, Joe’s family ties have again dogged him. President Donald Trump’s impeachment stemmed from allegations that he sought to damage Joe, a potential reelection opponent, by pushing Ukraine to investigate Hunter Biden’s relationship with a Ukrainian energy company, Burisma. Joe promised to establish clear boundaries for family business ventures.
On this week’s “Trump, Inc.” podcast, we’re looking at what happened in Ukraine from a different vantage point: not the politics but the finances.
Those close to Joe Biden say his relationship with Jim illustrates his fierce family loyalty. In the 2020 race, one adviser said, Jim “is trying very hard to stay out of the limelight.”
“For all his — let me find a kind word for it — entrepreneurship, Jimmy understands that he needs to keep his business separate from Joe’s career. Whether his relationships with unions, treasurers, law firms are the result of people who want to be nice to Jimmy because he’s Joe’s brother, that’s a thankless position to be in,” the adviser said.
In his 2007 autobiography, “Promises to Keep,” Joe gave a sense of Jim’s priorities. In the 1972 Senate campaign, Joe wrote, he changed his position on a capital gains tax reduction that would benefit potential big donors. Jim, his chief fundraiser, stewed for hours and then warned him, “I sure in hell hope you feel that strongly about capital gains because you just lost the election.” (Joe Biden won the race.)
It wasn’t their only clash. During Joe’s abortive presidential campaign in 2007, a Biden aide said, Jim “raised almost no money. He came in at the end when we were the most desperate.” Asked why, the insider said, “Family tensions.” At the same time, “there were always questions around Jimmy’s business dealings — what kind of blowback would there be for the campaign?”
Their upbringing shaped the brothers differently. Their father, Joseph R. Biden Sr., known as Big Joe, was a Wilmington car salesman. Joe later wrote that “money was so tight … I had to put cardboard in an old shoe until Dad’s next payday.”
Hard times kept the family close. “We could fight among ourselves inside the house, but we were not allowed to say a single syllable against a sibling on the outside,” Joe continued. One family friend said the Bidens’ struggles “rubbed off on how each of the boys were wired. With Joe it translated into, ‘I want respect.’ With Jimmy it translated into, ‘I want money.’”
Joe won a scholarship to the elite Archmere Academy and became a football star and class president. In 1962, he was a pool lifeguard in a predominantly African American Wilmington neighborhood, an experience he credits with helping him to understand race relations. He graduated from the University of Delaware and Syracuse University Law School.
Jim, six and a half years younger, went to local public schools. He was “aloof and had, perhaps, a bit of an attitude,” said classmate Steven Bennett. “Good luck in Senior High,” Jim wrote in Bennett’s junior high yearbook. “You’ll need it.” Jim studied at the University of Delaware over four semesters but did not earn a degree there, according to a university spokesperson.
Jim went into the nightclub business soon after Joe’s first Senate victory. With funding from Wilmington’s Farmers Bank, Jim and four partners operated a restaurant-lounge, Seasons Change. Its formula of dance music and Top 40 hits caught on, and when a larger space became available, Jim opened another club called The Other Side.
“They had a helluva run for a couple of years,” recalled Bob Bowersox, a band booker for both clubs who now runs a theater company in Key West, Florida.
Jim reported a net worth of about $10,000, but he and a partner were able to borrow $300,000 from First Pennsylvania Bank of Philadelphia for the expansion. His brother then sat on the Senate Banking Committee.
The Other Side made a splash, but not a profit. “I was a naive kid is what it was,” Jim told the Sunday News Journal in Wilmington in 1977.
Seasons Change folded in 1978 with more than half a million dollars in debts. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp., which had assumed the Farmers Bank loans, sued Jim and his partners in 1980 for more than $168,000. (ProPublica could find no record of the lawsuit’s resolution.) By then, Jim had left the nightclub business, and Wilmington, for California.
“I remember as a banker thinking, ‘Thank God, I didn’t finance it,’” said Fred Sears, a retired Wilmington banker and Biden family friend. “I remember thinking, ‘Oh my God, is this going to spill over to Joe?’”
Three former Farmers Bank officers told the Wilmington Morning News in 1977 that they had financed Seasons Change because they believed the Biden name “would help attract a trendy free-spending crowd.”
And Joe Biden had called Farmers chairman to complain about a bank vice president threatening Jim, telling him that failure to pay would embarrass Joe. “They were trying to use me as a bludgeon,” Joe told the newspaper.
William Oldaker was not the only Joe Biden ally to boost Jim’s career or lend him money.
In the mid-1980s, Jim worked for a consulting and actuarial firm for employee pension plans headed by Joel Boyarsky, national finance chairman for Joe’s unsuccessful 1987 presidential bid. He and Jim did fundraising together for Joe.
As a Biden, Jim “gave me credibility,” said Boyarsky, now 81.
Boyarsky not only taught Jim about pensions but also helped him financially when Jim and Sara, a former Government Printing Office general counsel, bought a $650,000 villa outside Philadelphia.
The sellers gave them a full mortgage. And on the 1997 purchase date, Boyarsky also loaned them as much as $200,000, records show. Boyarsky said he may have made the loan but doesn’t remember it.
The next year, the IRS filed its first lien against Jim’s home to recover about $145,000 for two years of his overdue federal taxes.
The Bidens finished repaying Boyarsky in 2000. They borrowed more than $350,000 that year from Leonard Barrack, a Philadelphia lawyer and former DNC finance chairman. Joe Biden, the Senate Judiciary chairman, had named Barrack, a campaign donor, to his honorary council of advisers. A few months after the Barrack loan, Jim paid off the IRS.
Jim and Sara Biden’s relationship with Barrack soon soured. Barrack’s law firm sued the couple in 2004, alleging that it had hired Sara at Jim Biden’s request to court local government and pension fund clients. Jim Biden would also help generate business “through his family name and his resemblance to his brother, United States Senator Joseph Biden of Delaware,” the complaint said.
Instead, the firm alleged, Jim and Sara had used law firm resources to fuel their consulting company, the Lion Hall Group. The law firm said that it had paid Sara nearly $250,000, plus salary, for the couple to travel to Alaska, Hawaii, France and Italy.
Jim and Sara countersued and the parties reached a settlement in 2004, although its terms are unclear. Barrack did not respond to requests for comment.
The loan from Barrack was satisfied in May 2004, records show. A few months later, the couple borrowed $400,000 from businessman Thomas Knox, a Joe Biden donor and fundraiser who ran unsuccessfully for Philadelphia mayor in 2007. Jim Biden, a donor to Knox’s campaign, finished paying the loan in 2013.
Jim “has been a friend of mine for a while,” Knox said, adding that he may have met Joe through Jim. “There is nothing nefarious here.”
Roy Pinto was among those who discovered that Jim’s business ventures, like Joe’s campaigns, were a family affair.
In 2006, Pinto became vice chair of Corrections USA, an advocacy group for public prison guards. One of its members’ needs, he knew, was better insurance coverage. They worked dangerous jobs in buildings that were often antiquated and overcrowded. Disability insurance was limited to job injuries; if a stress-related condition flared up in retirement, they had to pay out of pocket.
So Pinto solicited bidders to supply comprehensive insurance for his then-8,000 members. A little-known brokerage, Biden & Caveney LLC, expressed interest. The firm had been established when Edward Caveney, who had negotiated insurance deals for dozens of Massachusetts cities and towns, hooked up with Jim Biden. They met through Boston connections, including Larry Rasky, a public relations consultant who had been communications director for both of Joe Biden’s presidential campaigns.
“Ed’s the guy with the feet on the street, (Jim) Biden would provide the name and contacts,” said one insurance executive who worked with Caveney.
Part of the brokerage’s strategy was to parlay the Biden name into access to law enforcement unions and organizations that admired Joe’s support for police. At one event, held in a luxury box at Fenway Park during a Boston Red Sox game, Jim courted representatives of police and firefighter organizations, with the help of James Machado, executive director of the Massachusetts Police Association.
Machado said in an interview that he was friendly with Caveney, who had pitched insurance products to law enforcement before. When Caveney asked for help and mentioned the Biden connection, Machado agreed. He had only met Jim once, but he’d known Joe “way back when,” and his police association had honored Joe.
“We provided an entree into some of the police departments for them to try and go in and pitch that product,” Machado recalled. “I was familiar with the Bidens. I felt comfortable with the Bidens.”
Caveney also hoped that Jim Biden could help him grow business beyond Massachusetts, where he’d been entangled in a controversy. As insurance broker for Pittsfield, Massachusetts, Caveney let what was known as its “stop loss” coverage for employees’ health care lapse — despite taking almost $300,000 in city money to pay for it.
As a result, the city was exposed to $628,000 in claims. It was a “deep, deep shock,” said its treasurer, David Kiley. In the ensuing furor, Kiley was forced to resign, the mayor decided not to seek reelection and the Massachusetts attorney general launched an investigation into the city’s finances. Caveney reimbursed the $628,000 and half of his fee and was not criminally charged.
Pinto, the Corrections USA vice chair, was unaware of this incident. He was a registered Republican, but he admired Joe Biden’s criminal justice record. In meetings with Corrections USA executives, Jim and his partner offered an attractive package and emphasized their Washington clout. Jim “makes sure he tells you his brother is Joe Biden,” Pinto said. “‘We’re brothers, we’re close.’”
One day in 2007, Pinto recalled, was an all-out Biden blitz. In the morning, he and other Corrections USA executives took Amtrak from Philadelphia to Washington for meetings. When Jim boarded in Delaware, he “brought Joe back to say hello,” Pinto recalled.
On Capitol Hill, Pinto’s group met with the senator, who chaired the Judiciary Committee’s subcommittee on crime and drugs. Pinto had his photo taken with Joe, and a Biden aide discussed the group’s priorities. That evening, Pinto said, they dined with Hunter Biden, then a lobbyist with Oldaker in Washington.
Biden & Caveney gave a benefits overview at the group’s annual conference.
Then the deal fell apart. Pinto and another association executive said the group balked at Jim’s demand for an unusual arrangement to pay Biden & Caveney’s fees. They had assumed that Corrections USA would pay the fees out of member dues. But Jim insisted that the guards pay all dues — roughly $750,000 a year, deducted automatically from their paychecks — to Biden & Caveney. It would keep its fees of about $120,000 and disburse the rest to Corrections USA.
Spokespeople for Jim Biden and the Biden campaign disputed Pinto’s account of the breakup but did not explain why.
After registering as an insurance agent in at least 10 states, Biden & Caveney dissolved in 2011, records show. Dennis DiMarzio, formerly an insurance executive and Boston’s chief operating officer, who helped Biden & Caveney land government contracts, said that Caveney ended the partnership.
“In spite of the name Biden, I don’t think Jimmy was successful in bringing in contracts, which is surprising, because the name carries a lot of weight,” he said.
Both ex-partners stayed in the benefits business. Caveney established an employee benefits firm in Puerto Rico. Approached at his Massachusetts home, Caveney declined comment. Later, he did not return phone messages.
Jim Biden and his wife are principals of BBS Benefits Solutions in Connecticut, which caters to large employers and labor unions.
Its motto: “When families feel secure about their future, they can have peace of mind for today.”
Ed Caveney had problems in Pittsfield before he hooked up with Jim Biden. Some of Jim’s other associates encountered legal trouble after he worked with them — or while they were discussing potential partnerships.
In August 2007, Jim accompanied Joe to Oxford, Mississippi. The senator was running for president, and his supporters were holding a fundraiser for him at the Oxford University Club.
Among the hosts was plaintiff’s attorney Dickie Scruggs, dubbed “America’s most powerful trial lawyer” in a book by Wilkie, who teaches journalism at the University of Mississippi. Unbeknownst to Joe, Scruggs was then under federal investigation for bribing a local judge. The brother-in-law of former Republican Senate majority leader Trent Lott, Scruggs had gained fame — and nearly a billion dollars — by brokering a landmark 1998 settlement with four major tobacco companies, which paid more than $200 billion to 46 states to resolve tobacco-related health care claims.
That deal had come after the companies and state attorneys general first sought to wrap the state cases in a single federal settlement requiring the companies to pay more than $360 billion. As the bill reached the Senate, Scruggs retained Jim and Sara Biden’s Lion Hall Group to lobby for its passage.
In a lawsuit deposition, Scruggs vaguely explained Jim and Sara Biden’s role. “I’m not sure they’re lobbyists, but they are a firm that’s headed up by … the person I deal with in the firm, I don’t know who heads it up, is a gentleman named James or Jim Biden, B-I-D-E-N, who’s the brother of Sen. Joseph Biden,” he said. “And he gave us a great deal of advice about what was going on on Capitol Hill during the tobacco legislative effort.”
The bill, which Joe Biden supported, died in the Senate. Scruggs then crafted the settlement with the states, which did not require congressional approval.
Nine years later, when Jim came to Oxford, his old tobacco connections offered a new business opportunity. Among the other fundraiser hosts were Scruggs associates Steve Patterson and Timothy Balducci. Patterson was a former state auditor who resigned in 1996 and pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of filing a false affidavit to keep from paying county taxes. A former aide to Mississippi Sen. John C. Stennis, Patterson had raised money for Joe Biden’s 1987 presidential bid.
At the time of the fundraiser, Patterson and Balducci, a lawyer, were looking for a Washington presence for a practice they were setting up in New Albany, Mississippi.
They added Sara Biden to the venture, to be called Patterson Balducci & Biden. But it collapsed as a federal bribery investigation caught Balducci on wiretaps arranging a $40,000 bribe for a local judge.
Balducci pleaded guilty and turned over details of the scheme that drew in Patterson, Scruggs and others. All pleaded guilty.
One of Scruggs’ lawyers early in the case was Joey Langston, who would soon plead guilty in another Scruggs-related judicial bribery case. Langston had hosted fundraisers for Joe Biden and solicited the senator’s legislative help.
Despite Langston’s guilty plea and subsequent disbarment, he and Jim Biden eventually became business associates. Both showed up as managers in Earthcare Trina International, a marketing firm affiliated with a Sacramento, California, health care company called Trina Healthcare.
“Biden was going to have a big bite of the apple,” said Shad Ellison, a corporate dealmaker who was asked to help raise money to open medical clinics that would administer Trina’s new diabetes treatment.
Trina’s “artificial pancreas treatment” was controversial. The federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services had stopped paying for the procedure in 2009, citing evidence that it doesn’t improve health outcomes. The American Diabetes Association agreed. Nevertheless, Trina’s founder, lawyer G. Ford Gilbert, tried to push a bill through the Alabama Legislature requiring private insurers to cover the treatment. He pleaded guilty in January 2019 to federal bribery charges and was sentenced to six months in prison.
Langston did not respond to a request for comment. A spokesman for Jim Biden did not respond to emailed questions about Trina.
In December 2013, Jim and Sara Biden invested $2.5 million in a luxury vacation home on Keewaydin Island near Naples, Florida. The six-bedroom house can only be reached by boat, and Joe Biden vacationed there when he was vice president.
While Jim and Sara Biden racked up renovation debts, the IRS slapped them with another $589,000 lien for unpaid 2013 federal taxes.
The financial obligations led them to another Joe Biden supporter. In May 2015, as first reportedby Politico, they got a $500,000 mortgage loan from a corporation recently set up by auto dealer John Hynansky. Hynansky’s corporation at the time already had a mortgage on Jim and Sara Biden’s Pennsylvania house, records show. Hynansky did not return phone calls.
The Bidens paid the back taxes and then unloaded the Florida house for $1.35 million in 2018. Hynansky’s company released its mortgages on both properties.
One of Jim’s old patrons came to his aid as well. Oldaker — whose WashingtonFirst Bank loaned Jim and Hunter $1 milion in 2006 — is now a founder and director at a new bank, Trustar, based in Virginia. Jim Biden got a $250,000 loan from Trustar last December, records show. He secured it with another mortgage on his Pennsylvania house, which is now on the market for just under $2 million.
THIS YEAR IS DIFFERENT THAN ANY OTHER YEAR IN SO THAT BESIDE PRESIDENT TRUMP (WAS PREVIOUSLY THE PERSON OF THE YEAR) NO INDIVIDUAL STOOD OUT. SO YOU SEE THE DILEMMA HERE?
BUT AFTER ALL THE CONSTERNATION AND TREPIDATION WE WERE ABLE TO CONCLUDE THAT NOT ONLY ONE PERSON DESERVED THE AWARD MORE THAN
THE 75 MILLION INDIVIDUAL WHO CAST THEIR VOTE FOR PRESIDENT TRUMP – YOU ARE THE TRUE HEROES FOR THE YEAR 2020.
THE 2022 ELECTION IS AROUND THE CORNER. Expect the Republicans to capture 15 to 20 House seats; this will give them an overwhelming majority. First step is to Vote on the Impeachment of Joe Biden. The evidence is clear, the Biden Family are as corrupt or more so than the Carlos Gambino la Famiglia.
Leading up to the election in 2021, it must be clearly stated by the voters that a Republican who is seeking a House Seat must state that they will call for the Impeachment of Joe Biden. We will not accept anyone who does not abide by this promise. If the Republicans fail to exercise their Constitutional duty by Impeaching him there will be hell to pay in spades
Once the country sees what has happened under Biden the Senate will go Republican large; Instances of crime will go unabated, violence in major cities will profligate into the ‘burbs’, liberal judges will let killers loose to kill again, states will be under pressure to curb the violence, but police will stand by and let it happen. This will provide a perfect scenario for the Republicans to mount a “law and order” campaign. If executed to a tee, expect the Senate to hold a 60% or more Republicans.
However, we can’t rest on our laurels today, we must do to them what they did to us. Don’t forget we will hold the senate majority (Georgia will elect at least one Senator). During the next four years the Senate must clog up the Democrat legislation by going on a permanent recess. Executive orders, forget about them, the Republicans and “We the People” will engage the Supreme Court in their legality. This action will frustrate the Biden Crime Family to no avail.
But is that is enough, a special prosecutor has to be appointed to uncover the doings of the la Famiglia Biden. We will do unto Bidens wide they did to the Trumps. We won’t fuggettabout it.
The above socialists have one objective, to turn America into a Cuban/Venezuelan Zombie Utopia. Left unchained they will tax the rich until hell freezes over. This will result in not being any difference between the once millionaires and welfare leeches, all will be in the same boat.
However, those with money have started to see the writing on the wall as they flee Democrat tax the rich states with zeal; count on millions more of them bolting before the final cleaver comes down. Only cool aide zombies will be left in these bankrupt states when their takeover is complete.
Murders will continue unabated. Independent media entities will be shut down. Those who won’t drink the kool aide will be rehabilitated with mind altering drugs. No problem inhaling it, drinking it or taking the needle, it will be their choice.
Yesterday, an aide to Killer Cuomo of the Big Apple was mugged in broad daylight by a destitute psycho. Exclusive video obtained by The Post shows the moment just before a female staffer for Gov. Andrew Cuomo was bashed in the head by a homeless man (yes he voted for Biden) in broad daylight in Manhattan.
Major cities are filled with these types of Biden Voters; all are the result of the liberal progressive paradigm. Our bet is that this won’t be the last of public officials being hammered. Liberal judges will release this POS so he can continue on his mugging spree by New Years Eve.
Destruction and carnage will be left unchecked unless America acts now. Take to the streets for the 2nd American Revolution. Wake up Red States, don’t bow to Washington, only bow to We The People. Rise up and challenge the criminals who are forcing you to do something against your will and most importantly against the Constitution.
“Sign now: No Deficit Hawks in the Biden Administration!” read a petition promoted by the Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez-aligned Justice Democrats in November. It was in opposition to Bruce Reed, a longtime aide to President-elect Biden getting a spot in his administration.
Forget it Whitey, your days of hegemony are over. The WOKE progressive movement of BLM has eaten your lunch. Today, being the right color, that is a shade or two darker than the Caucasian, thrusts you to the paramount of leadership into our once Great Country; a Vice President for sure, a cabinet position or two, maybe three.
Merit has no meaning today, studying is in for dummies; what does have meaning is your color. So to repeat, don’t bother with education, forget hard work, just go down to your CVS, Walgreens, Rite Aid and purchase a can of INSTANT TAN, turn yourself into a person of Color. You won’t regret it.
And what will that get you? Free everything! As we said before, even the Vice Presidency. Housing, education (forget that, you don’t need it anymore) medical care, (3 squares) breakfast, lunch and dinner, a new ride, psychedelic drugs on demand, personal trainer, personal psychologist and psychiatrist and FREE MONEY for nothing.But no guns, no free speech, no anything that is a threat to the autocracy who will tell you how to live. Sounds like Venezuela, Russia, Cuba to us. GO FOR IT!
Yeah, take their advice be “BLACK LIKE ME.” Thought those days ended, a long time ago, but it appear that they didn’t. Obama the suicide bomber, a hateful individual to say the least, poured gasoline on “the racial divide when there was none.”
Didn’t matter that it existed or not, Hussein Obama crafted today’s BLM movement surreptitiously and under the cover of darkness. He articularly plotted IDENTIFY POLITICS that we have today. As we recall, didn’t WHITE AMERICA, vote him into office. Must be sixty million or more Racists that hate Blacks so much, that they voted for one. We are confused about that.
CLICK HERE to listen to Dementia Joe Biden describe Obama back in 2007.
“I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy,” Biden said. “I mean, that’s a storybook, man.”
But we bring to your attention, that is so you won’t forget the Racism that exists in this country, CHICAGO. You know, “My favorite kind of Town.” In Chicago, 744 people have been killed this year. That is 241 more than 2019.What does this tell you?Well it tells us that BLACK LIVES DON’T MATTER UNLESS YOU ARE THE WHITE GUY WHO DOES THE KILLING.
