  • WalMart’s Untenable CCP Dependence Makes Them A Major National Security Risk

    WalMart’s Untenable CCP Dependence Makes Them A Major National Security Risk

    This week Walmart notified MyPillow.com’s CEO Mike Lindell it was pulling his products from their shelves. The MyPillow.com CEO has now publicly stated that MyPillow sales has proven to be a top performing brand in WalMart stores across the Country, considering the advertising budget that helps boost brand awareness and sales which not only produce brand awareness but drives direct traffic to Walmart stores. In turn this drive generates additional profits to Walmart from impulse purchases of higher margin items marketed in-store.

    When consumers see a MyPillow “on sale for $19.88 at Walmart in a “As Seen On TV” advertisement Walmart anticipates your arrival, and places pallets of merchandise between the front door and the My Pillow display in the home goods section located deep inside the store. Although Walmart only makes a few dollars on the sale of each pillow, they know that consumers will place 4-5 items in their cart as they tend to impulse shop on the way to get that MyPillow for $19.88. If you’ve ever gone to Walmart specifically to get a tube of (XYZ) toothpaste for $1.49 and ended up spending $250.00 at the register, you understand the basics of impulse buying.

    So the question is why would Walmart decide to cancel MyPillow knowing that the impact on direct sales would cause them to lose of hundreds of thousands of dollars in traffic-driving advertising, and additional potential of millions in profits from impulse buys? More puzzling is the question, why would Walmart make such a profit-killing decision right in the middle of an economic downturn where consumer confidence and spending is plummeting?

    The answer could possibly be as simple as, “because China said so” …

    By now it is certainly obvious China Knows Mike Lindell has the data from the 2020 election which forensically proves that the heavily invested country was involved in overthrowing our election.

    Over the past several decades Walmart has slowly morphed from a “Buy-American” advocate to becoming a full blown CPP retail store front. Walmart not only sells cheap chinese-slave-made products manufactured by 10,000 plus vendors; Walmart has literally setup & runs manufacturing facilities in China to produce and ship their own private label merchandise.

    Here’s how devious their business model is: Walmart corporate buyers offer their 10,000+ vendors better placement of their products on store shelves and displays based on how much the company advertises, and how low they will go with their wholesale price (or cost for purchase to Walmart). Walmart buyers setup the deal with American companies, squeeze them on every penny of potential profit, and then press the company to advertise product sales. As a result of print, radio & tv advertising, American consumers pull into a local Walmart, park their car grab a cart and proceed through the front door. Customers will immediately start throwing merchandise displayed at the “cart rail” into their cart as they make their way to get the merchandise they were triggered to buy in the ads they saw this week.

    Here’s the kicker, and I’ll use MyPillow as an example in this scenario …

    What I do know from personal first-hand experience dealing with (CCP-Walmart) as a sales executive for Coca-Cola, is the sale of Walmart’s branded products manufactured in China are by far what matters most.

    When Walmart sets up a small display of “Coca-Cola” they build a huge multi-pallet display of Walmart branded cola bottled in China for an even lower price, or they drop 10 pallets Walmart private label cola at the “cart rail” to intercept the Coca-Cola sale before the customer even makes it to the first aisle. Essentially, Coca-Cola spent millions in advertising as one of the world’s most recognizable brands and caused people to drive to Wal-Mart to get “Coca-Cola” at the specially advertised price, only to be “bait & switched” to purchase Walmart-branded beverages bottled in China. Walmart earns 60% more profit, sells 180% more merchandise with the lower price-point, and a portion of net profits roll all the way up to CCP officials who are earning BILLIONS on the backs of American consumers, American companies, Chinese slave-laborers, and of course 10’s of thousands of part-time workers (part-timers are much cheaper than paying benefits to full-time workers), or other employees Walmart has been forced by the courts to pay 10’s of millions for wage & hour violations — such as working them off the clock.

    Walmart wage & hour violations are not limited to the U.S. workers. According to three reports released in 2005 by labor monitoring groups Wal-Mart Stores Inc. used Chinese factories that denied workers overtime pay and maternity leave and paid them less than the local minimum wage and serious human right violations continue unabated year after year at the Lungcheong Toy factory [part of Lung Cheong International]…which produced toys for Wal-Mart.

    As late as 2021 the world’s largest retailer, became the latest Western company to face scrutiny over its business involving Xinjiang, and forced-labor and human-rights concerns. In 2020, the Bureau of International Labor Affairs (ILAB) added five goods produced by forced labor by Muslim minorities in China to the 2020 edition of the TVPRA List. These goods include gloves, hair products, textiles, thread/yarn, and tomato products. In 2021, ILAB added an additional good, Polysilicon.

    China is home to 434 Walmart and Sam’s Club stores, covering more than 69 million square feet, as of the end of January 2021, making China Walmart’s second-largest international market by retail square footage, according to the company’s most recent annual report—second only to Mexico. Joe Biden signed the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act into law, following its near-unanimous passage in Congress. The law bans all imports to the U.S. from the region unless companies can certify that such products are free from forced labor. The Wall Street Journal found no Xinjiang product listings on Walmart and Sam’s Club’s e-commerce stores but a visit to a Walmart store in Beijing’s central business district found red dates and other products still being sourced from Xinjiang and stocked on its shelves. So, while Wal-Mart like so many other Companies may not stock items from Xinjiang on American shelves they continue to sell those products to the Chinese people.

    Wal-Mart would never tell the public that they’re essentially a CCP storefront wrapped in an American name and flag. All of this is legal, but its typical Chinese CCP deception which has literally created countless CCP official billionaires who must be laughing at the stupidity of the American consumer.

    As an American consumer, imagine pulling your wallet out of your back pocket and handing hundreds of dollars to some CCP official or Chinese military officer who then spends it on bio-weapons or high-tech aircraft carriers to be utilized to kill your son or daughter. Of course, you’d never allow that! Instead, you hand your money to the CCP operatives/minions — AMERICANS — at Walmart after you pass the door greeter & make your way to the American cashier (part time, extremely exploited hourly worker) to pay for the hundreds of dollars of cheap, chinese-made stuff you just threw in your cart impulsively. Never once have you run into a communist Chinaman, because the money is simply wired to his bank account overnight….from Bentonville, Arkansas.

    This all sounds deceptive, egregious, and you might even be in a state of denial by proclaiming that you “only get what you need & get out” when you go to Walmart, but I haven’t even gotten to the core reason for this article, and I assure you, even if you “get in and get out” you have not escaped the communist Chinese control & enslavement grid.

    In 2015, Walmart tested a system which scanned the face of everyone entering several of its stores, identified suspected shoplifters, and instantly alerted store security on their mobile devices but since 2015 technology has gotten much better and far more advanced. Today when you walk through the front door of a Wal-Mart, you pass a pin-hole camera which scans your face and captures your body-movement signature which can is used to identify you with 99% accuracy even if you’re wearing a mask. The data is stored to their Walmart’s local server, and a “loss prevention” or “Asset Protection” associate is immediately notified if you’re a known convict, shoplifter, or maybe even a radical deplorable who might own a gun, and therefore categorized as a potential active-shooter. You may be asking, “wow, Pete, this is pretty far-fetched…how do you know they are doing this?” Because I have a very high level source who worked for WalMart corporate headquarters in Bentonville, Arkansas and was directly involved in developing the system which has actually been installed in every Walmart around the world. Additionally, my source helped build Wal-Mart’s Emergency Operations Center (EOC); the central data-hub collecting and storing every Wal-Mart customer’s facial recognition profile, as well as their transaction history at every register. By the way, WalMart’s “EOC” facial recognition database is reportedly transmitted real-time to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and Federal Emergency Management Agency. So, for those of you who “get in and get out” without spending more than you planned, you certainly gave Walmart, the U.S. Government, and possibly Chinese CCP much more than you realize — they may not have earned much profit on your $25 “get in and get out” transaction, but they certainly acquired potentially thousands of dollars worth of data they’ve sold to the U.S. Government and potentially other corporate “partners” without your knowledge and consent. Walmart collects data including purchase transactions, buying habits and facial recognition of over 80% of the population in the United States, conservatively, all of it sold and/or transmitted to the U.S. Government, potentially — and with extreme high probability — intercepted by the CCP intelligence complex —– unless, or course, Walmart servers in China are not connected to the internet.

    My source, a 22+ year corporate veteran of Walmart in Bentonville Arkansas, has not only been involved in the development in this immersive and extremely intrusive data collection scheme as a U.S. government actor, he was directly responsible for setting up Walmart’s relationship with FEMA. Right after Hurricane Katrina, the U.S. Government wanted to partner with Walmart because they had an established supply chain infrastructure in the event of a natural disaster. It all began with “pallets of water” delivered to Katrina victims, and has since morphed into a private-public partnership that can only be defined as full-blown fascism.

    Walmart’s infrastructure, supply chain, customer data and market capture has put them in a more powerful position than the U.S. Government. What’s even more frightening is they have become so beholden to the communists in the CCP, when the CCP tells WalMart to cut off Mike Lindell’s profitable sales within Walmart retail stores, they do so without any consideration for the loss of business or profitability — Walmart’s entire system has been built out for benefit of advancing the Chinese Communist Party’s control grid and quest for global dominance.

    Walmart is essentially the CCP’s front door greeter, and a very obvious national security risk we will not realize the full implcations for many years to come. For now, all we know is that they’re attempting to cover-up their involvement in overthrowing the November 2020 election, but when we consider the implications of everything I’ve mentioned in this article, November 3rd 2020 is only one small piece of the puzzle illustrating China’s invasion of the United States from within.

  • CONFIRMED: U.S. Mercenaries Killed & Captured By Russia

    CONFIRMED: U.S. Mercenaries Killed & Captured By Russia

    June 18, 2022 at 08:50AM US and European Mercenaries Face Defacto and Dejure Death Sentence

    From left: Grady Kurpasi, Alex Drueke and Andy Tai Ngoc Huynh. (Mugshots.Zone via Facebook, Lois Drueke/Handout via Reuters, Handout via WAAYTV)

    The Russian Ministry of Defense released a ton of information today that proves they have been keeping tabs on the foreign mercenaries who went to Ukraine in February to fight the Russians. According to the Russian information one of the Americans, a former Marine, Grady Kurpasi is dead. The other two, Alex Drueke and Tai Ngoc Huyn aka Andy Win, are prisoners. Andy has been imprisoned since March.

    Here is how we know that Grady Kurpasi is dead:

    Kurpasi joined the US Marines after the September 11 terrorist attacks and had four deployments during his service, including three to Iraq. He was a decorated service member who won the Good Conduct Medal three times, the Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medal three times, the Purple Heart medal, the National Defense Service Medal, and the Global War on Terrorism Expeditionary Medal, among other awards, according to his military service record. . . . A more interesting detail we’ve managed to track down is that he was a part of the same group as the British citizen Andrew Hill who was captured in the same area and at the same date. He later confirmed there was a guy ”Grady” from the US in his group. This is most likely Grady Kurpasi who should be assumed to be dead. https://ift.tt/MpbaGly

    The following notebook apparently was Andrew Hill’s and he kept a log of the foreigners in his Ukrainian unit that died. You can see that Grady’s name is marked through.

    There is solid video evidence that two other Americans, Alex and “Andy” are alive. There video comments must be taken with a grain of salt. They are captive and may not be expressing their true thoughts. However, what they say bolsters the Russian view that the west is being misled about the true situation on the ground in Ukraine. First up, Alex Drueke. He warns other former US soldiers thinking of going to Ukraine to stay away:

    Tai Ngoc Huynh aka Andy Win was captured in either late February or March. How do we know? He describes freezing temperatures and that a Russian soldier covered him with a blanket to keep him warm. I do not think he is making this up. He paints a picture of chaos in Ukrainian forces that jives with the earlier videos I posted showing Ukrainian soldiers from 12 different units rebelling because of incompetent commanders and lack of support. Here is Andy:

    Russia’s Ministry of Defense published the list of known foreign mercenaries who are in Ukraine fighting against the Russians. Here are the numbers for the Europeans and those from the Americas (this is as of today, 17 June 2022). The Europeans sent 4,866 mercenaries to Ukraine. One thousand two hundred fifty of those are dead and 1101 bailed out of the war and returned home. They were the smart ones. Of the 2,515 remaining, several of those were captured by the Russians. [NOTE–I am making the assumption that the term “eliminate” means “dead”. If the Russians are including captives and dead in the same figure, then the “TOTAL” number means those still in the field.]

    The numbers for the Americas (i.e., from Canada all the way to South America) is smaller–1267. Five hundred thirty Americans, some former military, joined the battle. Two hundred and fourteen are dead and 227 came to their senses and retreated to the good old USA. According to the Russian tally, 89 Americans are either captive or still in the fight.

    https://ift.tt/upEoVPL

    The captured foreigners are not entitled to being treated as prisoners of war under the Geneva Convention. The Russians see them as mercenaries. Two Brits already have been tried and sentenced to death. Russia may treat all those foreigners the same way. From their perspective, they are acting like the United States did when it captured plain clothed Germans who infiltrated Florida in World War II. Those Nazis were executed.

    Foreign minister Lavrov is adamant regarding Russia’s legal position in this matter:

    There is another video that shows how the Russians are treating a uniformed Ukrainian intelligence officer. The man is wounded and has received first rate field medical care. Pay close attention to the dressing, the sling and the shot of pain medication.

    I want to reiterate that these are videos taken by the Russians. I will leave it to you to decide if it is propaganda or the truth. What I find most interesting is that Russia did not disclose that it had captured American fighters and is holding them. I suspect we will be seeing more information like this in the coming days.

    One final point–the numbers provided by the Russian Ministry of Defense reflect very professional intelligence collection. It appears the Russians obtained Ukrainian documents listing names and country of origin of the foreigners who joined the fight.

  • CNN Analyst Tells Don Lemon “Don, You’re Wrong” About Potential Trump Conspiracy Charge

    CNN Analyst Tells Don Lemon “Don, You’re Wrong” About Potential Trump Conspiracy Charge

    June 17, 2022 at 05:22PM CNN Analyst Tells Don Lemon “Don, You’re Wrong” About Potential Trump Conspiracy Charge

    Don Lemon was called out by one of his crazy CNN analysts thisweek in a discussion about the Jan 6 garbage conspiracy charges against President Trump.  

    Mediaite reported on the CNN exchange yesterday:

    CNN analyst Phil Mudd sparred with Don Lemon Thursday over whether former President Donald Trump actually believed he won the 2020 election, or he simply did not want to relinquish power.

    During an analysis of the third House select committee hearing over the Capitol attack, Lemon invoked witness testimony.

    Former Trump attorney John Eastman allegedly told White House lawyer Eric Herschmann he did not care if challenging the election results ended violently.

    On Don Lemon Tonight, the host asked Mudd if he thought Trump knew the election was fair, but chose to accept potential violence to litigate the results.

    “Is it clear to you that Trump was also willing to accept violence to stay in power?” Lemon asked, to which Mudd responded, “Heck no.”

    Trump spokeswoman Liz Harrington weighed in on Lemon’s schooling.

    When even your CNN analysts say you have no case in your latest assault on President Trump, you know your case is lost.

    The real conspiracy was carried out by those who stole the 2020 Election, the Democrats, RINO leaders of the Republican Party, the liberal fake news media, Big Tech, the Justice Department, and several others.

  • New Lisa Page Memo Confirms We Were Right: Comey Lied to Everyone – House, Senate, Even Courts

    New Lisa Page Memo Confirms We Were Right: Comey Lied to Everyone – House, Senate, Even Courts

     June 16, 2022 at 5:14pm New Lisa Page Memo Confirms We Were Right: Comey Lied to Everyone – House, Senate, Even Courts

    On March 9, 2017, then-FBI Director James Comey met with congressional leaders, the “Gang of 8,” to brief them on the status of their counterintelligence investigation of former President Donald Trump. He met first with Senate leaders and then with House leaders.

    Comey was armed with a seven-page memo containing talking points that had been prepared the previous day by former FBI lawyer Lisa Page.

    According to RealClearInvestigations’ Paul Sperry, the newly declassified memo and additional documents show that Comey “deceived the House, Senate and the Justice Department about the substance and strength of evidence” against Trump. Sperry reported that Page’s memo was “riddled with half-truths, outright falsehoods and critical omissions” and that Comey’s “misrepresentations” prompted both the Senate and the House to open investigations of their own.

    (Note: Sperry provides a screenshot of one page of the memo in his article.)

    Comey told congressional leaders about reports the FBI had received in 2016 from a former confidential human source (who turned out to be Christopher Steele), which claimed that former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort and junior campaign advisor Carter Page had allegedly conspired with the Russian government to sway the election.

    The informant, Comey explained, “told the FBI that Manafort initially ‘managed’ the relationship between Russian government officials and the Trump campaign, using Carter Page as an intermediary.”

    In addition, Comey told lawmakers that “[Carter] Page was reported to have had ‘secret meetings’ in early July 2016 with a named individual in Russia’s presidential administration during which they discussed Russia’s release of damaging information on Hillary Clinton in exchange for alterations to the GOP platform regarding U.S. policy towards Ukraine.”

    By the time of these briefings, the FBI already knew none of these allegations were true.

    In the memo, [Lisa] Page advised Comey that if pressed, he should tell lawmakers that “some” of the reporting “has been corroborated” and that the CHS’ “reporting in this matter is derived primarily from a Russian-based source.”

    Do you believe anyone will ever be held accountable for the biggest political hoax in history?

    Yes: 17% (218 Votes)

    No: 83% (1028 Votes)

    At that point, none of the reporting had been corroborated. And we’ve known for a long time that none of it ever was corroborated. Also, both their CHS, Steele and Steele’s primary sub-source, Igor Danchenko, were America-based.

    Not only did Comey withhold their identities from the Gang of 8, he did not inform them that Danchenko worked for Steele, that Steele was collecting dirt for the Clinton campaign or that Steele did not have “any sources inside the Kremlin.”

    Danchenko was arrested in November of 2021, for lying to the FBI during multiple interviews in 2017 about “where and how he got his information,” The Washington Post reported.

    His was the third indictment in special counsel John Durham’s investigation into the origins of the FBI’s investigation into Trump-Russia collusion. His trial is set to begin on Oct. 11, according to Fox News. Sperry noted that Page’s memo was declassified as part of pre-trial discovery process.

    As mentioned earlier, Comey did not identify Steele or Danchenko by name to the lawmakers. He referred to Steele by the codename, “CROWN.” (As per screenshot.) Sperry pointed out that Steele had not worked for British Intelligence in years, but was likely trying to give the impression that the “dossier was a product of British intelligence.”

    Nor did he tell Congress that the FBI had fired Steele after he leaked to the media. Sperry concluded: “Comey hid the truth about his star informant from the nation’s top lawmakers.”

    The memo stated, “If asked about CROWN/Steele” by lawmakers, Comey was to tell them only that “CROWN, a former FBI CHS, is a former friendly foreign intelligence service employee who reported for about three years, and some of whose reporting has been corroborated.”

    None of that was true.

    At the same time, the FBI was submitting the dossier in their renewal applications to the FISA court for warrants to spy on Carter Page.

    Sperry reported that the former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe and former counterintelligence official Peter Strzok misled former acting Attorney General Dana Boente during a March 6, 2017, briefing by referring to Steele’s dossier as “CROWN source reporting” as Comey would do three days later.

    Additionally, Strzok told Boente that he opened the investigation after Trump called upon Russia to find Hillary Clinton’s deleted emails. You may recall Trump’s sarcastic remark during a campaign event in July 2016. He said, “Russia if you’re listening, I hope you are able to find the 30 thousand emails that are missing.”

    The reality, Sperry wrote, was this incident is not mentioned on the documents filed to open the case and Trump’s remark came after “Strzok stated the FBI determined probable cause.”

    Strzok and McCabe told Boente that “the secret FISA monitoring of Page’s phone and emails was ‘fruitful.’” It was not.

    On March 20, 2017, testifying before the House Intelligence Committee, Comey announced the FBI had opened an investigation to determine if any members of the Trump campaign had colluded with the Russian government to help win the election.

    He stated: “The FBI, as part of our counter-intelligence mission, is investigating the Russian government’s efforts to interfere in the 2016 presidential election, and that includes investigating the nature of any links between individuals associated with the Trump campaign and the Russian government, and whether there was any coordination between the campaign and Russia’s efforts.”

    His remarks triggered a media frenzy around the former president which truth be told, has never really stopped.

  • Biden Sends Threat-Letters To Big Oil: Help Ease “Putin Price Hike” Or Face Our Tools

    Biden Sends Threat-Letters To Big Oil: Help Ease “Putin Price Hike” Or Face Our Tools

    Biden Sends Threat-Letters To Big Oil: Help Ease “Putin Price Hike” Or Face Our Tools

    President Biden intensified attacks against the nation’s largest oil companies, writing an “angry” letter to the heads of ExxonMobil, Chevron, BP America, Shell USA, Phillips 66, Marathon, and Valero to boost US refinery output, according to Axios.

    “I understand that many factors contributed to the business decisions to reduce refinery capacity, which occurred before I took office,” Biden writes in hopes that everyone is an idiot and incapable of grasping how how green policies have crippled the US energy sector, adding, “at a time of war, refinery profit margins well above normal being passed directly onto American families are not acceptable.”

    “My administration is prepared to use all reasonable and appropriate federal government tools and emergency authorities to increase refinery capacity and output in the near term, and to ensure that every region of this country is appropriately supplied,” the president escalated for dramatic effect.

    Biden, always happy to blame other but never himself, ended the letter by also scapegoating Putin – not just energy companies – for “driving up costs for consumers.”

    “Vladimir Putin’s Price Hike and are driving up costs for consumers. I appreciate your immediate attention to this issue and your efforts to mitigate the economic challenges that Viadimir Putin’s actions have created for American families.”

    In effect, Biden is blaming energy companies for his own failures as a president, and not only that – he is also going to beg and grovel in Saudi Arabia while bashing his own domestic producers.

    The letter comes a week after the national average for regular gasoline at the pump hit a record high of $5 a gallon. Soaring energy prices have helped drive an unexpected hot consumer price inflation print last week shows peak inflation has yet to be achieved, causing discontent among the vast majority of Americans as the president’s polling data sinks to a new low.

    Declining US refinery capacity has nothing to do with Putin’s actions in Ukraine, but instead, Democrats and Wall Street, who’ve been on a crusade over the last several years, pushing for a transition to a low-carbon economy that disincentivized oil companies from reinvesting and expanding refinery capacity. Instead, oil companies were forced to slash capacity by upwards of 1 million barrels from April 2020 to 17.95 million bpd as of June.

    Putin has been a frequent strawman abused by what may be the worst administration since Carter, for its failed green transition of the economy and skyrocketing fuel prices.

    Of course, no matter how many angry letters the president sends, or what emergency moves he takes like releasing millions of barrels in SPR reserves into the market to prevent a decimation for the Democrats, the bottleneck in refinery capacity cannot be quickly resolved. The lack of understanding of the refinery bottleneck shows just how unseasoned the administration is at tackling the core of the problem months ago.

    Americans should blame the fuel crisis on the administration, the Democrats, and Wall Street’s hypocritical ESG movement that has crippled refinery capacity for years, if not forever, just as we warned exactly one year ago in “Will ESG Trigger Energy Hyperinflation”.

    Meanwhile, Mike Wirth, the CEO of oil giant Chevron, recently told Bloomberg TV that America’s refining capacity is structurally short, and no new refineries will ever be built in the US again.

    Wirth explains his reason: “You’re looking at committing capital ten years out, that will need decades to offer a return for shareholders, in a policy environment where governments around the world are saying, ‘We don’t want these products to be used in the future.’”

    Here’s a good reminder of who to blame for the refining bottlenecks in the US that predates “Vladimir Putin’s Price Hike.”

    Reuters energy analyst John Kemp is about to lose it on Biden.

    Biden also asked big oil for an “explanation” for falling refining capacity. He may as well have addressed the letter to his own White House.

    Here’s the letter for your own entertainment:

  • Hunter Biden’s Ex-Wife Breaks Silence with First Televised Interview, Issues a Warning to Women

    Hunter Biden’s Ex-Wife Breaks Silence with First Televised Interview, Issues a Warning to Women

    June 15, 2022 at 07:09AM Hunter Biden’s Ex-Wife Breaks Silence with First Televised Interview, Issues a Warning to Women

    The woman who knows Hunter Biden the most is speaking out on her marriage to President Joe Biden’s son.

    Kathleen Buhle was interviewed in a Tuesday profile with ABC News’ “Good Morning America.”

    Biden’s ex-wife will reveal new details of her marriage in an upcoming book, “If We Break: A Memoir of Marriage, Addiction and Healing.”

    Buhle, who was married to the younger Biden for 24 years, divorced the troubled lawyer and lobbyist in 2017.

    Ten years into their marriage, Hunter returned from rehabilitation for substance abuse and told Buhle that they owed money in taxes, according to Buhle.

    Hunter’s ex-wife stated that she didn’t recognize the man who photographed himself in the infamous laptop photos as her own husband.

    “He was struggling under a massive drug addiction, and that’s heartbreaking and painful and that wasn’t who I was married to,” Buhle said.

    Buhle says she allowed Hunter to take control of the couple’s finances during their marriage, declining to question how the politically connected lawyer was paying for a luxury lifestyle.

    “It’s embarrassing to say that I ceded all financial control to my husband, and kept my head buried in the sand,” she said.

    Is she a victim of Hunter?

    Yes: 75% (1594 Votes)

    No: 25% (519 Votes)

    “I liked the nice things, and I didn’t want to think about the cost at which they were coming.”

    Buhle is touting a message for women, calling upon them to take responsibility for their finances within their own marriages instead of allowing men to do it for them.

    Hunter raked in large sums of money from questionable international companies, notably leveraging his Biden family affiliation to secure a high-paying position at Ukrainian oil company Burisma.

    The couple’s marriage ended after Buhle discovered that Hunter was having an affair with Hallie Biden, the widow of his deceased brother, Beau Biden.

    A Department of Justice investigation into Hunter’s overseas business dealings is ongoing.

    Hunter himself has taken to receiving the support of a Hollywood lawyer “sugar brother” who is reportedly funding his luxury lifestyle.

    The president’s youngest son remarried in 2019.

  • Wholesale prices rose 10.8% in May, near a record annual pace

    Wholesale prices rose 10.8% in May, near a record annual pace

    June 14, 2022 at 04:40PM Wholesale prices rose 10.8% in May, near a record annual pace

    Wholesale prices rose at a brisk pace in May as inflation pressures mounted on the U.S. economy, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported Tuesday.

    The producer price index, a measure of the prices paid to producers of goods and services, rose 0.8% for the month and 10.8% over the past year. The monthly rise was in line with Dow Jones estimates and a doubling of the 0.4% pace in April.

    Excluding food, energy and trade, so-called core PPI rose 0.5% on the month, slightly below the 0.6% estimate but an increase from the 0.4% reading in the previous month. On a year-over-year basis, the core measure was up 6.8%, matching April’s gain.

    The two PPI measures remained near their historic highs — 11.5% for headline, and 7.1% for core, both hit in March.

    The data is significant in that prices at the wholesale level feed through to consumer prices, which are running at their highest levels since December 1981. The consumer price index increased 8.6% annually in May, defying hopes that inflation had peaked in the spring.

    Federal Reserve officials are watching the inflation numbers closely. Markets now expect the central bank to raise benchmark short-term borrowing rates by 75 basis points when their two-day meeting concludes Wednesday.

    For wholesale prices, energy made up much of the May gains. The index for final demand energy rose 5% on the month, part of a 1.4% surge in final demand goods. The goods-services imbalance has been at the core of the inflation pressures, as consumer demand has shifted strongly in an economy that generally is more dependent on services.

    Within that energy gain, gasoline rose 8.4%, while multiple other fuel categories pushed higher as well.

    The services index advanced 0.4%, with transportation and warehousing services responsible for more than half the gain. The increases were softened by declines in fuels and lubricants, portfolio management and guest room rentals.

    Stock market futures pointed to a rebound following the release. Government bond yields pulled back after massive gains Monday, with the benchmark 10-year note most recently yielding about 3.32%.

    “Our Country Is In A Nosedive” – Trump Issues 12-Page Rebuttal Of “Sham” Jan6 Committee Investigation

    June 14, 2022 at 06:55AM “Our Country Is In A Nosedive” – Trump Issues 12-Page Rebuttal Of “Sham” Jan6 Committee Investigation

    As Nancy Pelosi’s Jan 6 Hearings complete their second day of the ‘show trial’, former President Trump has issued a 12-page rebuttal to the testimony and ‘evidence’ presented to the American public (well a few of them anyway given the ratings fail).

    “Seventeen months after the events of January 6th, Democrats are unable to offer solutions,” Trump said in a statement released through his Save America PAC.

    “They are desperate to change the narrative of a failing nation, without even making mention of the havoc and death caused by the Radical Left just months earlier. Make no mistake, they control the government. They own this disaster. They are hoping that these hearings will somehow alter their failing prospects.”

    Trump begins his rebuttal by taking on the Democrats directly:

    “Our nation is SUFFERING. Our economy is in the gutter. Inflation is rampant. Gas prices have reached an all-time high. Ships are unable to unload cargo. Families cannot get needed baby formula. We are an embarrassment around the world.”

    A certain Democrat once said, “It’s the economy, stupid.”

    Well, Trump states: “Democrats now seem to think that Americans are ‘stupid’. They are not. “

    “As we near the midterm elections, we’re watching the Swamp creatures circle the drain as true Americans step up to replace the corrupt Establishment with patriots who will fight for our freedoms,” Trump says in Monday’s 12-page statement.

    “People are desperate,” he adds, confirming the record low UMich sentiment readings last week and record low approval rating for President Biden.

    “Rather than solving problems, Democrats are rehashing history in hopes of changing the narrative,” Trump explains.

    Trump goes on to say that The January 6th ‘Unselect’ Committee is “disgracing everything we hold sacred about our Constitution.”

  • ROE REVERSAL TODAY? National Guard Deployed

    ROE REVERSAL TODAY? National Guard Deployed

    June 13, 2022 at 06:42AM Roe v. Wade decision on the horizon, activists march in Greenfield

    MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) — The Supreme Court could be poised to overturn Roe v. Wade as soon as Monday, June 13.

    According to CNN, the high court updated its calendar Thursday, June 9 to indicate decisions would be handed down Monday and Wednesday of the coming week.

    Justices have 29 opinions remaining to be delivered in the next month before its traditional summer break.

    A leaked draft opinion indicates that five justices were ready to wipe away the 50-year-old precedent set by Roe v. Wade.

    If overturned, Wisconsin will be left with an 1849 statute still on the books that could outlaw abortion statewide, and make performing an abortion a felony.

    In Wisconsin, legislators could repeal or amend the law. If major changes are made, demonstrations are expected nationwide. Those demonstrations are already happening in the Milwaukee area.

    With the potential for the supreme court to overturn constitutional protections for abortion, a few dozen activists came together Sunday, June 12 to raising awareness and advocate for reproductive rights in Wisconsin.

    The “Defend Roe” march was organized by Protect Women’s Rights MKE, in partnership with the Democratic Party of Milwaukee and Citizen Action of Wisconsin.

    The event began with several guest speakers, including State Assembly candidates, the Milwaukee Democrats chair, and State Treasurer, Sarah Godlewski.

    Protesters then marched alongside Highway 100.

    “It is crazy to me to think that I might have fewer rights than my grandmother,” said Godlewski. “We should not be going backwards, we should be going forward.”

    Protect Women’s Rights MKE is hosting rallies in suburban areas to provide education and reach potential voters.

    “When we’re coming to these more red-leaning areas, we have the opportunity to talk to people who may be on the fence and maybe don’t understand all of the ramifications if Roe is overturned, and how that will affect them directly, and try to educate them that it’s not just a single issue situation,” said organizer, Jennifer Clark.

    “We say that overturning Roe is not a big change. It is a big change when we are willing to put doctors in jail. It is a big change when there’s no exception for rape or for incest, and it is a big change when we are not allowing women to make these healthcare decisions. So we can’t take this as, this is going to allow us to go on as life as usual. It’s going to be a significant change that’s going to have adverse effects,” Godlewski said.

    Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers ordered a special legislative session for June 22 to discuss the state’s abortion law.

    Activists are planning to rally outside the state Capitol that day.

    “I want voters to be watching that, because they are a majority. A majority of Wisconsinites do not want roe overturned,” Godlewski said, “We want to be a welcoming state, that’s what we are. Women should have a voice when it comes to our healthcare decisions, and that’s what we’re going to continue to fight for.”

    The issue will be going to the polls in August. All four GOP primary candidates for Wisconsin governor support a ban on abortion, including in instances of rape or incest.

    Former Lt. Governor Rebecca Kleefisch, Kevin Nicholson and newcomer Tim Michels have stated they oppose exceptions to include cases of rape or incest.

    “Every life is precious, and as governor, I will work with the legislature to ensure the lives of the most vulnerable are protected,” Michels said in a statement to CBS 58. “I believe whenever possible, we should always come down on the side of life.”

    State Rep. Tim Ramthun has described himself as “a hardcore 100% pro-life without exceptions,” in a video link posted on his campaign website as well as a statement regarding his stance on abortion.

    Wisconsin Republican Senator Ron Johnson previously voted “No” on codifying Roe.
