The Biden Crime family web is unraveling. And President Biden is the black widow in the middle of it all!!!
[….]
Clown.
Some of the responses:
Sure. Good luck.
This can’t be ignored like the Hillary debacle. Impeachment proceedings followed by criminal charges needs to happen
Hillary was the principal of 7 House and Senate investigations.
What did they find, again?
is that a serious question?? Lol
Seriously, what were the findings?
that you KNOW exactly what was found but the Rino Republicans who had their hands in the same cookie jar wouldn’t do anything about it
Okay
Americans deserve to know the truth and Republicans need to follow through full speed ahead to expose all the corruption!!
time it so the verdict comes in Oct of next year
Accountability!
Bad combover. Check. Too long red tie. Check. Orange spray tan. Check. Tiny hands. Check. Cluelessness. Check. Arraignment. Check.
Mark, don’t you believe others are really controlling all actions and speech coming from this (puppet) president?? Yes, he needs to be held accountable for his crimes. But, isn’t there way too much credit is given to him for all the evil and destructive administrative decisions and actions coming from those “pulling his strings”? Just an observation.
Obama, Clinton’s , George what’s his name and others.
#Follow the money
What’s his name and others? WTF?
just trying to focus on the massive current attention to Biden that distracts away from those who may be really in charge and exerting power in the here and now.
You are sooo right. The layers of this onion are thick
If Biden is removed, what then puppet Harris or in 2024 Michele Obama?
We want the truth mark!!!!! Stay after them!!!!!!
if Republicans are involved that’s not likely going to happen. All the time, resources and millions of dollars wasted on Hillary and the Bengazhi investigations is proof of that…
kinda like the Mueller report and all the other Trump investigations.
It is time this web is untangled and the whole bunch of them are held accountable including criminal charges
So is The Doctor she’s apart of it. More then you think.
Jared and Ivanka made about 250,000,000 dollars while serving as White House advisors.
In case you need to be refreshed on Hunter’s government stipend?
Zero dollars.
the difference is that both Jared and Ivanka have businesses. Legitimate businesses that had income before and after the WH. The Biden’s have no business whatsoever. The only business they evidently have, is the business of selling policy.
Someone should tell him.
but Hunter got plenty of money from China and Ukraine to spend on crack and hookers.
Sounds like the American dream in Ohio.
A private citizen. Ivanka and Jared actually worked in the White House. Big difference.
if you say so.
Joe Biden is the tip of the iceberg. Why do you think Trump was impeached the first time? Ukraine is corruption center. The uniparty has been feeding there for years. The cartels launder money there and pay their protection money to the globalists. They wanted Trump out because he was apt to find them out as he did.
“Make America Great Again” – in Russian.
$250 million? Please send me your references.
From CREW:
Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump reported between $172 million and $640 million in outside income while working in the White House, according to an analysis of financial disclosures by CREW. It is impossible to tell the exact amount as the income is sometimes reported in broad ranges and cover four months of income before Ivanka Trump officially joined her father’s administration and nearly one month before Jared Kushner joined.
[….]
But will it really matter? So far we have a media blackout and an all out assault from the left.
Nothing personal but I see just more GOP blustering. What about the 18 reps from Biden areas. Will they go along with this?
Hopefully something can finally happen. The crooked democrats seem to always get away with everything and nothing ever happens to them. Good luck Mark!
It’s about time it unravels !
You picked a heck of a time to get in
this isn’t business as usual our country is at stake Kevin is not to be trusted Don’t come home stay in DC for the 6 weeks you know Kevin’s going to be doing back door meetings these are serious times defund Ukraine use the power of the purse
The Biden Crime Family is as crooked as they come. They make Tom Pendergast look like a saint.
Kevin McCarthy has already said, they would impeach Biden as retribution for Trump. When is this tit for tat crap going to stop? Americans need you guys to take care of business for the country. There are so many things that need attention and all any of you are doing is trying to make the other party look worse than you do. Do something about Immigration reform. That is something Congress can do but they’d rather leave it broken so they can blame the opposing party. It’s all a game to you guys. This all started before Trump was president. It’s been going on since Bill Clinton was in office. Just Stop It!
Preaching to people who don’t want to hear it and never will.
And we knew all of this before he became president. Grrrr
From the BBC:
[….]
Trump: “I moved on her actually. You know she was down on Palm Beach. I moved on her, and I failed. I’ll admit it. I did try and fuck her, she was married.”
Unknown: “That’s huge news there.”
Trump: “No, no, Nancy. No this was [inaudible] and I moved on her very heavily in fact I took her out furniture shopping. She wanted to get some furniture. I said I’ll show you where they have some nice furniture. I moved on her like a bitch. I couldn’t get there and she was married. Then all-of-a-sudden I see her, she’s now got the big phony tits and everything. She’s totally changed her look.”
Bush: “Your girl’s hot as shit. In the purple.”
Multiple voices: “Whoah. Yes. Whoah.”
Bush: “Yes. The Donald has scored. Whoah my man.”
Trump: “Look at you. You are a pussy.”
Bush: “You gotta get the thumbs up.”
Trump: “Maybe it’s a different one.”
Bush: “It better not be the publicist. No, it’s, it’s her.”
Trump: “Yeah that’s her with the gold. I better use some Tic Tacs just in case I start kissing her. You know I’m automatically attracted to beautiful… I just start kissing them. It’s like a magnet. Just kiss. I don’t even wait. And when you’re a star they let you do it. You can do anything.”
Bush: “Whatever you want.”
Trump: “Grab them by the pussy. You can do anything.”

Crystal Quade (D), the Missouri House Minority Floor Leader, is running for governor.
The transcript:
Hi, I’m Crystal Quaid. People say politics can be tough. I tell them I can handle it.
When you come from nothing you fight the odds your whole life. Growing up here in Missouri we lived on food stamps and leftovers that my single mom brought home from waitressing. Before school I’d go to work with her and after school I’d go back and do my homework to wait while she finished her double or triple shift.
When the dust settled we found hope on a gravel road, a good Factory job for my stepfather and a house we could afford. I became the first in my family to graduate …from high school. I paid my way through Missouri State and then started my own family. I committed myself to helping families like the one I grew up in.
Now I’m a leader in the state house where I’ve stood up for workers against big corporate special interests, sponsored a law to stop China and Russia from buying our Farmland to squeeze out Missouri Farmers, and I’m leading the fight to restore our abortion rights.
I’m not worried about bullies like Jay Ashcroft because Missouri has never seen a governor like me before. Ashcraft uses fear to score cheap political points and divide us.
I’m running for governor for one simple reason, because parents who are working extra shifts today have children who need to beat the odds tomorrow.

Missouri Supreme Court rejects AG’s push to inflate cost of abortion-rights amendment
BY: JASON HANCOCK – JULY 20, 2023 1:46 PMMissouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey’s efforts to inflate the cost of an abortion-rights initiative petition were unanimously rejected by the state Supreme Court Thursday, just two days after judges heard arguments in the case.
The quick verdict, which was written by Judge Paul Wilson, was scathing in its opinion of Bailey’s refusal to sign off on the work of Auditor Scott Fitzpatrick, concluding that nothing in state law “gives the attorney general authority to question the auditor’s assessment of the fiscal impact of a proposed petition.”
The ruling upheld Cole County Circuit Court Judge Jon Beetem’s ruling last month ordering Bailey to sign off on Fitzpatrick’s fiscal summary within 24 hours.
[….]
Do your job, Andrew Bailey (r).
From the Missouri Supreme Court [No. SC100132] on Friday:
[….]
Dr. Anna Fitz-James (“Fitz-James”) filed a petition in the circuit court of Cole County seeking a writ of mandamus compelling Attorney General Andrew Bailey (“Attorney General”) to approve fiscal note summaries for 11 proposed initiative petitions she had filed with Secretary of State John Ashcroft(“Secretary”). After briefing and argument, the circuit court made permanent its writ of mandamus ordering the Attorney General to do so and to forward notice of that approval to State Auditor Scott Fitzpatrick (“Auditor”). The Attorney General appealed, and this Court has jurisdiction pursuant to article V, section 3 of the Missouri Constitution.
Nothing in section 116.1751 gives the Attorney General authority to question the Auditor’s assessment of the fiscal impact of a proposed petition. Instead, the Attorney General’s authority extends only to reviewing the “legal content and form” of the fiscal notes and summaries prepared by the Auditor, not their substance. Because the circuit court in this case did not err in finding there was no defect in the “legal form and content” of the fiscal note summaries prepared by the Auditor concerning Fitz-James’s proposed initiative petitions, the Attorney General’s refusal to perform the plain, unequivocal, and ministerial duty of approving those summaries (and informing the Auditor he has done so) cannot be justified. The Attorney General was to have performed that task within 10 days of receiving the fiscal notes and summaries from the Auditor, a period that expired more than three months ago. Accordingly, the circuit court’s decision to make permanent its writ of mandamus requiring the Attorney General to perform that duty is affirmed.
[….]
The Auditor disagreed and, on April 21, resubmitted the original fiscal notes and fiscal note summaries to the Attorney General. The Auditor informed the Attorney General that the fiscal notes and summaries complied with the requirements set forth in chapter 116 and that the Attorney General exceeded his review authority under section 116.175.4. On May 1, the Attorney General notified the Auditor that he disagreed and refused to approve the fiscal notes and summaries and that he had fulfilled his statutory duties.
Because of this logjam, the Secretary could not – and, to this day, cannot – complete his duty by certifying the official ballot titles for the proposed petitions. The ballot title is comprised of two parts: a “summary statement” and the fiscal note summary. § 116.180. Pursuant to section 116.334.1, the Secretary prepared a “summary statement” for each of the proposed petitions and sent them to the Attorney General for his review as to “legal content and form.” The Attorney General approved them and notified the Secretary of that approval. Under section 116.180, however, the Secretary cannot certify the official ballot title for any of the proposed petitions until he receives both the approved summary statement and the approved fiscal note summary (as well as the fiscal note) pertaining to that proposed petition. Because the Attorney General refuses to perform his duty, neither the Auditor nor the Secretary can perform his.
[….]
Conclusion
This Court has often repeated the importance of the right to initiative enshrined in the Missouri Constitution:
Nothing in our constitution so closely models participatory democracy in its pure form. Through the initiative process, those who have no access to or influence with elected representatives may take their cause directly to the people. The people, from who all constitutional authority is derived, have reserved the “power to propose and enact or reject laws and amendments to the Constitution.”
[….]
…If technical formalities cannot stand in the way, a failure to perform a clear and unequivocal duty must not be allowed to do so either. If the Attorney General had complied with his duty to approve the Auditor’s fiscal note summaries in the time prescribed by section 116.175.4, the Secretary would have certified the official ballot titles for Fitz-James’s initiative petitions nearly 100 days ago.
For the reasons set for above, the circuit court’s judgment is affirmed.
[….]
And that is what you call a slam dunk.

An attempted trolling comment submitted today in response to An elitist spork tries to attend a knife fight (July 20, 2023):
I find it interesting that people complain about our representatives and senators in DC looking into Biden’s possible wrong doings for years and his policies and attempts to push big government! But the same people were and are quick to jump on the bandwagon to take Trump down and now out! Are the same people that are blind to what is happening to our country! If the same people don’t wake up, we will be just like China and all these other socialist countries now and former! I applaud Hawley for his efforts, even though I don’t agree with everything he says or does!

Some of you libtards can’t say the same.
[….]
Who? And who?
A Missouri state representative writes stuff like this?
The cruelty is the point. And notoriety, apparently.
Some of the responses:
Demeaning folks with cognitive disabilities and propping up sundown towns all in one little sentence. Good job, girl!
What a gross way to speak to people.
I could not care less about the Jason Aldean song, but I would love to see any elected official who uses slurs like this, which disparage and disrespect individuals with disabilities, voted out of office. Words matter.
This is an incredibly immature post.
As a special education teacher, I can assure you that the government (that you work for!) has deemed “tard” an inappropriate suffix in describing those with specific learning disabilities. Perhaps you should try better representing your country, no matter what “side”you are on. Better yet, why not represent EVERYONE in your state district, as is implied in the name of your position, and don’t take sides at all? I’m glad you’re no representative of mine.
please explain when you use the word “libtard” what are you really saying?
The use of -tard as a suffix for anything you are trying to mock, belittle or use as an insult isn’t cute or clever. It is hateful and cowardly. You represent people who have disabilities. They deserve your respect as much as anyone.
June 26 you have a post about making it your “aim to love as God loves”. Do better
I just want to second this statement. This is sad coming from an elected official who represents all constituents, many who may have disabilities or love those with disabilities. Actually, is any name calling really necessary?
It’s about punching those who have little or no power. The cruelty is the point.
As a person with a child who has disabilities and lives in your state you can kindly GFY. You’re so unbelievably nasty you don’t know the first thing about being a Christian. Horrible, lying christian terrorist propagandist is what you are.
A sitting member of the Missouri House of Representatives calling her constituents, the people that she works for, “libtards”. Quite the power move
The term libtards?? Really glad you’re not my rep.
Rep. Mazzie Boyd (r):
[….] a Republican, represents Worth, Caldwell, Daviess, Grundy, and Harrison counties (District 2) in the Missouri House of Representatives. She was elected to her first two-year term in November 2022.
In addition to her legislative duties, Boyd works as an accounting assistant. Prior to being elected, Boyd served in the White House as an executive assistant to the Director of Presidential Personnel John McEntee under the Trump administration, as well as a war room analyst for Donald J. Trump for President, Inc. She also worked as an intern for U.S. Senator Roy Blunt, and a communications assistant for the Congressional Office of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene.
[….]
That explains a lot.
Some of the sponsored legislation in the last session:
HB 224 – (0987H.01I)
Designates the official state rifle
HB 463 – (1254H.01I)
Creates provisions relating to gender transition procedures
HB 498 – (1219H.01I)
Includes businesses that host drag performances in the definition of a sexually oriented business
HB 712 – (1240H.03C)
Establishes the Anti-Red Flag Gun Seizure Act
HB 1159 – (2501H.01I)
Prohibits the state librarian from disbursing funds to libraries that offer obscene materials to children
That explains a lot.
John McEntee (r).
That explains a lot.
