If reports are accurate, influence peddling may be something of a family cottage industry. Biden and his business partners however insist that their business dealings have been widely misrepresented in the media. While Congress continues to look at the Hunter Biden contract and his effort to sell his name to foreign companies, the brother of Joe Biden is facing the same allegations in an expanding controversy over his selling of his connection to the former vice president. James Biden was anything but subtle in his pitching his connections to his brother. Update: after initially posting this blog, I heard from Michael Lewitt, friend and partner of “Jim” Biden, who offered some useful (and not widely known) details on the loan controversy in this litigation. I have offered their side of this litigation below, which makes some good points. It also gives a perspective of a core player who has found himself at the center of a swirling controversy during a vicious presidential election cycle.
While it has received little attention in the media, James Biden has leveraged his connection with his brother for years in open pitches for contracts with major business like Americore (which is now in bankruptcy and the subject of a FBI investigation that is not contacted to Biden). Biden arranged for Americore founder Grant White to meet his brother.
Former Americore executive Tom Pritchard and others allege that Biden promised a large investment from Middle Eastern backers while he openly referenced his access to his brother and his family name. Biden is facing a wide array of litigation over allegedly fraudulent activities as well as a personal loan acquired through Americore before it went into bankruptcy.
The effort of Hunter and James Biden to peddle access and influence with Joe Biden could become an even greater issue in the 2020 election. Joe Biden has bizarrely continued to claim that “no one has suggested that my son did anything wrong.” He seems to be drawing a distinction between what is criminal and what is not — as if the criminal code is the only measure of wrongdoing or unethical conduct. Now a pattern exists of not just his son cashing in on his influence but his brother. That is wrong regardless of whether it is criminal. The expanding litigation surrounding James Biden could force a broader debate about that distinction.
For decades, I have written against this form of corruption as family members receive windfall contracts as a way of circumventing bribery laws. This remains the preferred avenue of the Washington ruling class to cash in on their positions. When confronted, they then (as did Biden) object that critics are attacking their family or their children. For that reason, little has been done to crackdown on such deals. For some in the media, there is a tendency to look the other way when they support the candidate or oppose the other party. The fact is that it is all corruption and influence peddling and it is all perfectly legal . . . and perfectly wrong.
Update: Michael Lewitt was Biden’s partner on the deals that are the subject of the Tennessee litigation. He wrote me a detailed explanation of the loan and objected to the coverage by Politico and Fox as unfair and incomplete. He offered some details that I have not previously seen in coverage:
The Tennessee lawsuit is based on our failed efforts to invest in a company called Diverse Medical Management, Inc. (DMM) in Tennessee. My hedge fund, Third Friday Total Return Fund, L.P., loaned DMM ~$760,000 which was intended as a bridge loan to a final deal. DMM was unable to meet payroll and other obligations but had a promising business model and I agreed to make the loan to support the business pending completion of due diligence, arrangement of financing and documentation. Unfortunately, DMM didn’t make it through due diligence. It was unable to provide accurate and complete financial data and failed to disclose that it made an acquisition of another healthcare company that quintupled its payroll during our negotiations (the deal was scheduled to close after the expected closing of our deal with them). We also learned some troubling information about the principals that prevented us from moving forward. We were willing to write-off the loan but the principals refused to even speak to us and demanded we fund their new higher payroll and then sued us despite lacking a signed agreement. They then hired a law firm in Tennessee that filed an inflammatory lawsuit filled with slanderous allegations about Jim, myself and our other partner and contacted the press in violation of a local court rule in the Eastern District of Tennessee Federal Court to put pressure on us and especially Jim during the election. The lawyer continued to violate this local rule to the point that I recently filed an ethics complaint with the Tennessee Bar Association. I can assure you that the lawsuit is meritless (claiming detrimental reliance on oral promises) and would never have been filed but for Jim’s involvement. Further, neither Jim nor any of the other individual defendants acted in his individual capacity and suing us personally was highly improper. Jim never engaged in any influence peddling.
He also added details on Americore and supported Biden’s claims that he never played a substantive role in management — a point the Politico seems to question.
As for Americore, Jim never played any management or operational role at the company. He introduced me to the former CEO, Grant White, who was removed as CEO on 2/19/19 at the demand of the U.S. Bankruptcy Trustee and my fund and other creditors. Jim’s involvement ended in early 2018. Tom Pritchard, who was quoted, was a gopher for Mr. White and is, to put it politely, unreliable. My fund loaned Americore around $19 mm, so Mr. Pritchard’s comment that Jim’s introduction was “smoke and mirrors” is demonstrably false. The bankruptcy filing was made by Mr. White to try to save his job – he was already under investigation by federal and state regulators and I was working with these regulators to remove him in my capacity as senior lender and major shareholder. Mr. White and his lawyer lacked the requisite shareholder authority under Delaware law to make the bankruptcy filing and never completed the required financial filings even after requesting multiple extensions. The company was not and is not insolvent and has more than enough receivables from Medicare, Medicaid and HMOs to repay all secured and unsecured creditors and pay its bills. A recent Ombudsman Report stated that the two operating hospitals are serving their patients and have sufficient medicines and supplies. Jim had absolutely nothing to do with any of the problems at the company, which were entirely the fault of Mr. White, and the news reports suggesting otherwise are just nonsense. Jim never engaged in any influence peddling at the company and did nothing more than make an introduction to help the company raise capital to buy rural hospitals and St. Alexius Hospital in a tough urban neighborhood in St. Louis. He should be applauded, not criticized, for what he did here.
While I continue to view Biden’s leveraging of his name as a serious problem in our system, Michael Lewitt offered this defense of his partner and friend:
Further, Jim Biden is not Hunter Biden. Hunter has his own set of issues. As someone who has dealt with friends with family members who suffered from addiction, maybe I am more sensitive than most people to what the Vice President has dealt with as Hunter’s son. I don’t condone the appearance of impropriety in Ukraine but knowing what I know about the Trump’s, this is a case of the kettle calling the pot black. If Trump thinks it is a good strategy to try to argue that he is less corrupt than Joe Biden, someone is giving him bad advice or, more likely, he is giving himself bad advice. Families should be off limit anyway, especially when a family member suffers from addiction like Hunter does.
Finally, on a personal note, Lewitt offered an insight from a lifelong Republican who suddenly found himself the subject of exposes on Fox News and other outlets:
You know that Trump is trying to turn this stuff into the 2020 version of Hillary’s emails. I voted for Trump in 2016 and am a Republican. I like his policies more than Democratic policies. But I find the politics of personal assassinations abhorrent. I don’t enjoy seeing myself on Fox News or reading my news in the paper and I have often been in the financial press because I write a widely read Wall Street newsletter and have written two books on the markets. The negative reports don’t bother me – what bothers me is when people just make stuff up or don’t even bother to do five minutes of independent research to see if something is true or not.
I appreciate Michael Lewitt being so direct on this issues. I asked him to allow me to post his views because they have been largely missing in any coverage. I particularly think the discussion of the loan and management questions are highly relevant to the public’s understanding of the controversy.
Appeals Court Rules Congress Has Right To See Grand Jury Evidence From Mueller Probe
The House has a right to see secret grand-jury evidence gathered in the Russia investigation, an appeals court ruled on Tuesday in a victory for Congress’s power to gather information for an impeachment inquiry.
In a 2-to-1 decision, a panel on the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit upheld a lower-court ruling that the House had a right to gain access to the information, which was gathered by the special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III, using a grand jury and blacked out in the report on his investigation released last year. The Trump administration had appealed that ruling.
Usually, Congress has no right to view grand jury evidence. But in 1974, the courts permitted lawmakers to see such materials as they weighed whether to impeach President Richard M. Nixon. Last summer, as the House Judiciary Committee weighed whether to impeach Mr. Trump, the panel sought a judicial order to see certain Mueller grand jury materials, too.
Judge Judith Rogers, an appointee of President Bill Clinton, and Judge Thomas Griffith, an appointee of President George W. Bush, sided with Congress. The ruled that lawmakers’ need for the information outweighed the general interest in keeping grand jury evidence secret, and that an impeachment inquiry fit within an exception to the secrecy rules for judicial proceedings.

Good news. Would’ve been nice to have access awhile back, but any stepping up of the judiciary on this is good. And I’m going to guess it’s pretty obvious what that testimony will have said.
This will get thrown out pronto when it reaches the supremes.
Jonathan – Thanks for bringing this to light. I think there is a lot more going on with his brother. There appear to be some sketchy real estate deals in the past that involve private loans from Ukrainians to his brother (at least one $500k second mortgage that was “released”). Your post reminded me of this real estate deal involving a house on a private Island accessible only by boat Naples, FL involving Biden’s brother. I thought it was interesting that this house went on the market around the time his administration was ending. It might be true that the house took substantial damage during Hurricane Irma, but the asking price vs. sale price doesn’t really make sense given how exclusive of an area it is. It might be worth digging into this story and also looking for other real estate deals involving the Biden family…

Joke Biden is a manipulable “hollowgram” deployed by the Deep Deep State which constitutes criminal elder abuse.
Otherwise, things are going swimmingly for Biden:
Seems like a gift at this point doesn’t it?
Gives on giving.
Funny Jon, I don’t see many articles about Ivanka and Jared abusing their privileges. Looking forward to that one coming soon.
Because they’re not.
These people agree with you. No wait…

I don’t see many articles about Ivanka and Jared abusing their privileges.
Many? If there were any, you’d have seen them.
Donald Trump, Jr, Eric Trump, Ivanka Trump, Jared Kushner, Maryanne Trump Barry (check why she resigned). Need I go on?
Then there was President John F. Kennedy & brother AG Robert F. Kennedy
Need I go on?
You need to go on quite a bit to match the criminal, tax-evading, money laundering, fraudulent Trump dynasty.
No proof of that libel.
You can start with the whole tax scam that caused Maryanne to resign as a Federal Judge rather than face the ethics probe. The whole family (except Jared who has different family fraud issues) is caught up in that one. The proof is in the tax returns which he’s fighting to the end to keep from being released to the entities investigating him.

Why is it Enigma that you fail everytime you try to prove Trump guilty of something? Virtually every claim of criminal wrong doing you have made has been proven wrong. Your claims of racism have been proven wrong. Don’t you ever get tired of being wrong?
“The whole family (except Jared who has different family fraud issues) is caught up in that one. The proof is in the tax returns which he’s fighting to the end to keep from being released to the entities investigating him.”
***********************
Never ever mind about the numerous tax audits. Guilt by association! Look at his sister! I thought we fought a civil war to prove people stand on their own merit and character not their associations. No matter, its Orange Man bad.
His sister is caught up in the same massive fraud involving and mainly benefiting Donald. If it were a seperate criminal act I wouldn’t have mentioned it.. As far as the alleged tax audits, other than Trump saying he’s apparently under a never ending tax audit for every year of his life, making it impossible for him to release his returns, what proof do you have?
https://www.aol.com/article/news/2020/03/10/trump-campaign-chief-is-funneling-pay-to-eric-trumps-wife-don-jrs-girlfriend-report/23945684/
Look, enigma, Trump is doing a phenomenal job as POTUS for all Americans. Get over your hang ups about tax returns. He is doing a fantastic job on behalf of the country. That’s what matters right now. Calm the eff down.
Enjoy this opinion, America.
You paid for it through wholly unconstitutional taxation for generational welfare, affirmative action privilege, forced busing, quotas, Obongocare, “Fair Housing,” “Non-Discrimination,” WIC, TANF, HAMP, HARP, HUD, HHS, etc., etc., etc., ad infinitum, ad nauseam.
How’s all that “freedom” workin’ for you – the freedom to pay taxes for the benefit of gold diggers, dependents, leeches and parasites?
Karl Marx, Comrade “Crazy Abe” Lincoln and Vladimir Lenin are smiling down at the elimination of classes from society, redistribution and the extant “dictatorship of the proletariat” in America. Oh, wait. My bad. Communists enjoy no heaven, right?
Freedom? We don’t need no stinking freedom!!! “Free stuff,” that’s the ticket!
$22 Trillion Spent By America On Communist Redistribution Since 1965
“In his January 1964 State of the Union address, President Lyndon Johnson proclaimed, “This administration today, here and now, declares unconditional war on poverty in America.” In the 50 years since that time, U.S. taxpayers have spent over $22 trillion on anti-poverty programs. Adjusted for inflation, this spending (which does not include Social Security or Medicare) is three times the cost of all U.S. military wars since the American Revolution. Yet progress against poverty, as measured by the U.S. Census Bureau, has been minimal, and in terms of President Johnson’s main goal of reducing the “causes” rather than the mere “consequences” of poverty, the War on Poverty has failed completely. In fact, a significant portion of the population is now less capable of self-sufficiency than it was when the War on Poverty began.”
– Rachel Sheffield and Robert Rector
America fought the War on Poverty and Poverty won!
You can always be counted on for slightly different versions of the same response to any comments. Just because you’re racist doesn’t mean you have to be boring as well. Be creative like Squeeky, at least she makes me laugh.
enigmainblackcom: Dear diary, You can always be counted on for slightly different versions of the same response to any comments. Just because you’re racist doesn’t mean you have to be boring as well.
FIFY, no thanks necessary.
Me you call out, to George you have nothing to say. That’s why this forum is his happy place. He’s welcome.
George is not a hypocrite.
He must be happy to know he has so many supporters.
I suspect he really doesn’t care.
He cares enough to keep coming back to where he is welcome. I imagine every place isn’t as accomodating.
He cares enough to not violate the civility rules to the extent he is no longer welcomed by our host and/or his moderator.
You obviously aren’t paying attention to what passes for civility rules. It is almost impossible to get thrown off this board. I have had multiple interactions with J. Turley himself about the conduct of CV Brown. As the civility rules state, I sent an email to Mr. Turley (I had to track his address down as it wasn’t provided) Here is an example od what was deemed acceptable because you know, free speech:
“I am not progressive minded at all. How dare you try and lump me into your group of misfits.
When I took Soc 101 we studied homos. They were covered under the Chapter entitled “Deviant Subculture”. I don’t think they even thought of your progressive norm equivalent.
You may, please feel free and no way would it ever offend me should you oppose my utter repulsive disdain for homos, fags, queers, bears, top or bottoms and the rest.
Some how you feel we are better served as a people, as a nation if we all condone the deviant conduct of these people who think its ok to place their penis in the rectum of another deviant same sex individual or in their hands and their mouths.
If that’s your idea of being progressive? Maybe you condone the conduct of the Priests and again I’d be in the wrong to oppose it to.
Try watching Spotlight first.
I do support a little of the anything goes movement and I pick you.”
Georges comments don’t stay because they’re acceptable, they stay because nobody (including the host and moderator) cares. CV Brown has been gone a while, not because he was banned, perhaps he got bored.
“You obviously aren’t paying attention to what passes for civility rules.”
Enigma, it is most unfortunate that you wish to define civility rules for everyone else but refuse to conform to civility rules for yourself. Libel is contrary to civility but your hypocrisy is far more damaging.
You cannot grasp the concept of American freedom. Freedom of speech meant that, for the first time, citizens could disparage royalty and anyone else. You prefer dictatorship and its enforcement whenever your superior “sensitivities” are assaulted. You are worse than the royalty that was once the omnipotent sovereign.
You really need to familiarize yourself with the Constitution and Bill of Rights. Taxation for redistribution of wealth is unconstitutional and Congress has no power to effect such. Congress has no power to interfere with or deprive citizens of their private property; to possess or dispose of, or claim or exercise dominion over the private property of individuals. Congress has no power to regulate anything other than money, the flow of commerce and land and naval Forces.
The aforementioned makes the entire American welfare state, of which you have a been an advocate and beneficiary, irrefutably unconstitutional. The only possible resolution is abrogation of the relevant taxes and remuneration to those who were unconstitutionally taxed.
You are an artificial construct of governmental largesse and, therefore, an artificial personage; a fraud among men. You are a debtor.
I certainly believe and hope that was civil.
You are welcome too Enigma. Try again.
Thanks Enigma! I knew deep down that you liked me! Because I am the only one trying to help you leave the 1930s and plop down into 2020!
Squeeky Fromm
Girl Reporter
Squeeky, I don’t have to burrow that far down to like you. You’re creative, funny, still racist and all but if I stopped convering with racists, who’d be left? I’m firmly planted in 2020, partly because I haven’t forgotten all that came before. I just need to remind some of you from time to time.
i had a black friend once (havent spoke in about a decade, no animus, just drift apart) and when we were about 19 he explained to me his assertion that i was a racist. i said but we are friends? he said yes and like Enigma, he said, i can be friends with a racist or i might not have any white friends at all! We had a laught over that but i asked him to elaborate his thinking on this.
he claimed that essentially, merely because i was white, that i per se i benefited from racism, whether i wanted to or not. i can see the logic in this assertion today.
and that further, by denying it, i was complicit with a system of oppression against blacks. now this second assertion i find dubious even now. but i can understand the idea.
this troubled me at the time, but now i look back on it and feel that i learned a lot in the conversation and it’s a warm memory. i did not agree at the time, and i have had different thoughts about it over the decades, but it was a valuable conversation.
it was his perspective, and one that’s very common now, in albeit different terms. i think i agree with it more now than i did then, though not fully. by the way, you see this was decades before oppression studies had been normalized.
This notion he developed on his own to some degree i am sure, but also received from his particular circles, which were vaguely what you would now call black nationalists. his parents were Garveyites if you know what that means. his father was jamaican, now deceased, rip. this family was an excellent group of people, and very hospitable, welcomed me into their home a hundred times, and over many years introduced me to political issues and gave me early education in topics that have impacted my thoughts and ideas to this day. for example, i heard from them favorably about louis farrakhan, rather unknown at the time, and a lot of white people severely dislike. but, i have found some value in things Farrakhan has said from time to time, again, to this day, certainly he is an interesting and at times very amusing speaker, even if i do not agree.
Anyhow i am not sure that just being white makes me a racist or not. i’m sure many people would reject that notion as i did when i was just 19 years old. but i did come to understand one thing: yes, as a white person i have benefited from white racial consciousness. the sense of white cohesion, whatever you want to call it; in jail they call it white pride; in sociological, non perjorative terms one might call it simply ethnocentrism. whatever you call it, Im old and honest enough to say yes for sure white people had it, they still have it to a lesser degree, and it still informs social customs and various things that create social value such as wealth, power, etc. people do not come up with all good things as individuals, they work in teams, and sometimes the teams are delineated by ancestry, place of birth, ethnicity, tribe, and even race. so yes race goes into results sometimes, perhaps often, whether the results are liked by some folks or not.
without the sense of natural ethnocentrism, however, i believe any tribe or nation would be devoured by its rivals and adversaries, demolished, defeated, enslaved, and so forth. so i simply believe it is necessary like it or not. to a modest degree.
i further observe that white folks are not the only successful peoples in world history,. two very successful and very ethnocentric peoples come immediately to mind: the chinese and the jewish people. now jewish people are white but a sort of other from the perspective of European gentiles. a “people who shall dwell alone” if I can quote the Bible, not sure the citation. too ethnocentric? i won’t sit in judgment of that.
now, there is a possible space for mutual respect among racial, ethnic, tribal, and national others. this is peace and justice. in my mind, that can coexist alongside the natural affinities of human beings to group into families, tribes, nations, races and so forth.
the justice may ebb and flow, but resource competition will always remain. it is the job of law, order, and civilization to mitigate and to moderate ethnocentrism to a level which reduces conflict to what we can call peace and justice. that is a worthy social ideal.
To a point. To me it is a relative value and not an absolute one.
I do not partake of any form of suicidal condemnation of my race or ancestry groups as special offenders however, if that is part of the equation then i refuse to participate. i know now that many folks will call me racist just for that. if so however, then their opinion on the topic is meaningless to me. they essentially want me to surrender to them out of guilt.
i will never do that, i have zero guilt over my good fortune, it comes to me mostly without me earning it, it is by the grace of God, and his ways are hard to fathom. some peoples are crushed and destroyed and exterminated and some rise up. some people are born strong and smart and others sick. some are born into money and some poverty. same is true of groups.
Does God bless one nation especially, as the Old Testament suggests? Perhaps. Does he love all equally as most Christians seem to believe? Perhaps. Or does God care at all? I get the sense from Buddhists that they think caring is a stupid thing that humans do and gods are above it. I’m no authority on these things but i welcome sincere conversation. thank you folks for listening and stay healthy.
You said a lot there, the feedback I would offer is that being white doesn’t make one racist and having benefitted from being white doesn’t make one racist either.
You said a lot too. The question now is: what does suggest a person should be called a ‘racist’?
No need to reinvent the wheel.

In his blog referred to above, Enigma writes: “Voter suppression has always had its roots in maintaining power for certain people over others.” Reality is somewhat different. Here is what actually happens in Minnesota… Democratic Fraud.

Democrat Voter Fraud in Minnesota
What most people would call voter fraud is actually legal in Minnesota elections.
March 9, 2020
vv6.png
Editors’ note: Below is Part 4 of a new essay written by Bruce Hendry: Democrats, Progressives and Socialists. Stay tuned for the ensuing chapters. [See links to previous chapters below this article].
9. Democrat Voter Fraud in Minnesota.
Voter Fraud in Minnesota, and one can presume elsewhere, is practiced almost entirely by Democrats, who have waged a relentless campaign to block any attempt to block ineligible voters from voting, or eligible voters from voting more than once as “voter suppression.”
It’s actually technically incorrect to say that there is large voter fraud in Minnesota, because what you and I would consider voter fraud is in fact legal in Minnesota. The Democrats euphemistic phrase for voter fraud is “ineligible voting” but the manipulation of the voting system is still fraudulent and so it’s still voter fraud. Most voters of either party are totally unaware of what’s going on.
Voter fraud In Minnesota is practiced almost entirely by Democrats through a two-part process. First, they construct election laws that are designed to tolerate ineligible voting and, second, they don’t enforce even the weak constraints in those statutes. Most voters of either party are totally unaware of what’s going on.
Here is how it works.
Self-certification. In Minnesota, you are supposed to be prohibited from voting if you (1) have a court order stating that you are incompetent to vote, (2) are not a citizen, (3) are a felon on parole or probation, or (4) live outside the precinct.
In all cases, you can still vote in Minnesota by self-certifying to the election judge that you are eligible to vote. Nothing more is needed, just your statement. For instance, if the election judge knows that you are ineligible to vote because he personally knows that you just got out of prison and that you are on parole, you can still vote by self-certifying. Even if the poll roster has a notation that the state has found you ineligible, you can vote. Just tell the election judge you want a ballot.
Despite no help from the Minnesota Secretary of State’s office, the Minnesota Voters Alliance painstakingly confirmed that 1,000 felons illegally voted in the 2008 senatorial election that Al Franken, a Democrat, won by 312 votes.
In March 2018, the Office of the Legislative Auditor (OLA) released its review of Minnesota’s election system and revealed that more than 26,000 individuals whose status was marked “challenged” prior to the election voted in November 2016.
Same day registration. This is where the majority of voter fraud takes place. In Minnesota, 500,000 people typically register to vote on election-day in presidential election years. No verification of their eligibility is done prior to irretrievably counting their ballots. After the election, counties send a postcard to the address that the voter claimed on election-day. Following the 2008 election, the state couldn’t confirm the addresses of 17,000 voters and 31,000 other voters were marked “challenged” because they failed one or more eligibility checks. The ballots of all 48,000 of these questionable voters counted in the election Al Franken won by just 312 votes.
Social Security Number. There is no photo-ID requirement In Minnesota. In fact, if a person claims they do not have a driver’s license or other valid ID, they can register and vote simply by supplying their name, date-of-birth, and the last four digits of a Social Security Number. The Legislative Auditor found that thousands of voters registered in this manner in 2016 and could not subsequently be found in the Social Security Administration database.
Vouching. In Minnesota on election-day, a person can establish residence by having another voter “vouch” for his address. A voter may vouch for as many as eight other persons.
Most states have “provisional” ballots for same day voters and self- certified voters and then check out the legitimacy of the voter before the vote is counted. Minnesota counts all votes as valid, even if it’s later proven that an individual voted illegally. The illegal vote still counts in Minnesota. The Minnesota Secretary of State is in charge of elections, and that office has been in Democratic hands for 30 years. Provisional ballot legislation, which would fix this problem, always gets killed by Democrats in the legislature or vetoed by a Democratic Governor.
Physical assistance in marking ballots. In Minnesota, any voter who claims a need for assistance because of inability to read English, can obtain help from anyone the voter chooses. Currently, no person may assist more than three people but Democrats are fighting in court right now to eliminate that restriction.
There are documented cases of exploitation of mentally challenged adults in healthcare facilities who were “assisted.” When caught, the manager of one residential home in Brainerd said that voting gave his residents a feeling of importance and was good for them. The mentally challenged son of a friend of mine was put on a bus and driven to a voting place where, he later said, he voted for George Washington.
Power plays. Over the last three years, Minneapolis and St. Paul have created ordinances that compel landlords to hand out voter registration applications and other materials to new tenants, without any regard to the tenants’ citizenship or legal status. Both cities have declared themselves to be “sanctuaries” for ineligible persons.
The good news here, though, is that the Federal District Court for Minnesota has just ruled in favor of the Minnesota Voters Alliance that both ordinances are unconstitutional because they violate the landlords’ First Amendment speech rights.
Coverup. For the last two years, the Minnesota Voters Alliance has been in a lawsuit against Minnesota Secretary of State Steve Simon to force him to release public data from the statewide voter registration database. Ramsey County District Court and the Minnesota Court of Appeals have both ordered Simon to release the data but he refuses to comply, instead appealing those judgments to the Minnesota Supreme Court which should issue its opinion soon. The data are needed to assess ineligible voting in Minnesota, and the performance of election officials in carrying out their constitutional duty to provide ballots only to eligible individuals.
It is especially pathetic that in light of all the evidence for potential and actual voter fraud in Minnesota, the Secretary of State has done exactly nothing to assess or report on any of it. And why should he, it is working well for him and his party.
Early voting. Democrats use taxpayer money and their authority to regulate to further their own elections. During 2018, the City of Minneapolis spent $1.2 million setting up two early voting stations in Somali neighborhoods that vote almost exclusively Democratic. One consequence of these taxpayer funded early voting sites was the election of the controversial Ilhan Omar to the U.S House of Representatives. Democrats using taxpayer money, to further their own elections. Early voting is just another way that Democrats abuse the system.
Bottom line – Minnesota voter statistics
5,576,000 is the population estimate for 2017.
Of these 653,000 are under the legal voting age.
Thus 4,923,000 is the maximum number of eligible voters.
3,260,000 is the total on the current voter list at the Secretary of State.
In addition there 2,150,000 names on the inactive voter list at the Secretary of State.
Consequently 5,410,000 is the total number of voters according to Secretary of State.
If we deduct 4,923,000 which is the maximum number of voters.
We get 487,000 non-existent Minnesota voters.
This calculation doesn’t count people in prison or on parole who can’t vote, illegal aliens who vote, or court ordered incompetents who can’t legally vote.
These categories are small but important in close elections like the election that elected Al Franken senator by a few hundred votes.
Absentee Ballots There are expected to be nearly one million absentee ballots cast in the 2020 elections. And, because of an illegal tule created by Steve Simon, Minnesota’s Secretary of State, all of the absentee ballot board members doing the accepting and rejecting of ballot envelopes are hand picked by the appointing authority and not taken from the lists submitted by the major political parties as the law requires. Thus, there is no party balance oversight of the absentee ballot process.
The Loophole. Steve Simon The Secretary of State is sending a letter to challenged voters – voters who voted illegally and may not vote again until the challenge is cleared up – that they can still vote as absentee voters.
It’s not rocket science to have a fair and honest election. 1. Have paper ballots; 2. Have a Democrat and Republican election judge at each polling place. 3. Have provisional ballots. Don’t count the vote if the voter is not legitimate. 4. Have photo I.D.’s. 5. Eliminate early voting.
6. Eliminate vouching, where one person “vouches” for the legitimacy of another without any other identification.
Democrats block all efforts, to establish these easy fixes to ensure a fair election. What we see here is a situation ripe for abuse and manipulation by Democrats. That is why Democrats win all close elections in Minnesota.
What most people would call voter fraud is actually legal in Minnesota elections. Self certification; abuses of same day registration and vouching are all legal under Minnesota law and explain how Democrats use the legal system to win elections.
In 2016, Trump lost Minnesota to Hillary Clinton by a mere 44,000 votes. It’s my opinion Trump would have won Minnesota had the election been fair. Trump will probably lose Minnesota again in 2020 because of the fraudulent Minnesota voting system.

“Voter suppression” does not exist. It’s what partisan Democrats bleat when measures are enacted which disrupt their fraud schemes.
“Voter suppression” does not exist.”
Vter suppression has always existed, many people died as a result (mostly at the hands of Democrats when they were the more racist Party). Those that denied it then and most of those who do so now know the truth. They just like the result enough to turn a blind eye.
Enigma, you must have heard this before….goes like this:
“I’m proud to be black,” said the black man.
“I’m proud to be asian,” said the asian man.
“I’m proud to be white,” said the racist.
Is that about right in your mind??
i think voter suppression exists. jerrymandering exists too. so does vote fraud. all of the above. there are definitely schemes to increase the votes of convicted felons just as there are efforts to keep them out of the franchise. there are efforts to get illegal immigrants to vote just as there are efforts to keep them out.
in my mind, i’m all for limiting the franchise. i would add literacy tests if it were up to me. i think it’s fair to say, those were used in jim crow to limit black voting. today, i think it’s time to bring them back, no matter who gets shut out because of it. if you can’t read then you lack the educational level necessary to make good choices voting, i have no problem saying that. i have held the view for decades and been called racist for saying so many times. but, i am at least as skeptical of democracy as Plato was.
Was Plato racist? I’m sure by modern standards he would be. the question is whether society will be better governed in the end or not. expanding the franchise at every turn to the illiterate, to the retarded, to the foreign, etc. has been a foolish enterprise in my mind and I am totally against it. Maybe a poll tax er “user fee” would be a good idea too. If you can be charged $3 by a computer to dispense your own money from a machine then why not $3 to cast a vote? I find it incredible that we allow so many abusive and outrageous things to be done to us by private entities but have so large of a concern of any trifle enacted by government which might limit some hallowed institution like “Voting.” Voting is not a sacred act. Not for me anyways. If government is your god then maybe it is for you.
well Enigma i guess my friend’s notion was essentially a social or a functional idea; you are racist if you benefit from it. Perhaps that’s not your definition, but in your article i didn’t really see a precise definition. i read and understood your article, but i am not sure that i can infer from it a definition which substantially differs from my friend. you were pointing out systemic issues too., for the most part.
you did say: ” we know racist behavior and policies when we see them”
well who is we? if we is you, ok. But other “wes” dont see it that way.
I think white people see racism differently than others. And other non-whites might see it pretty differently than you do, in turn. A definition which works might be worth the effort.
But the systemic mass guilt type definition, has a certain logic. A logic which attacks white people as a whole. And so don’t be surprised if white people as a whole react against this definition. in this perhaps you can see the “why” of some of your complaints in the essay.
Now, if its a systemic issue, then we are all racists because we are white. there is a collective benefit at the expense of others. But –
if it’s not a systemic issue, then it’s a matter of individual choices, and how the benefits fall don’t matter to the question of who is racist.
letting it be an issue of individual choice, may or may not be sufficient to accomplish a change in “power.” and power is indeed what most of this will come down to, on the ground where facts exist.
An individual reckoning of who is racist or not does not much matter to me. I realize that I will be called racist because i am white. this is reality for me for decades now. i also realize that there are few real world implications from this, if I keep myself in the right places. SO i didn’t really make up the world as it is, i am just trying to survive and flourish in it.
To be sure, i have not always benefited, and there were some very unpleasant times in my life when i was on the bad receiving end of racist actions from non-whites. i try and not make too much out of those bad incidents, just realizing that other people have their ethnocentric feelings too, and if im in the wrong place at the wrong time, i can be on the bad receiving end of it.
I had another black friend when i was a kid, different than the one I mentioned above. And i hadnt heard from him in a few years, again, we had grown apart. Today I am thinking of him because another one of our friends went on to play college ball and was in the final four, thinking of it because they just cancelled march madness due to the virus. Anyhow one day around that same time frame, 19 or so, i saw a that common friend at store. I said whatever happened to C.L i havent heard from him in a couple years? He said dead; shot. I said what happened. He said, drive by; he had nothing to do with it; just gang stuff and CL was in wrong place at the wrong time.
You can guess that the perp who was eventually arrested, yes, he was black. in the literal sense, that dead friend of mine, was he a victim of racism? i don’t think so. some people with pretzel style imaginations might think so, but i don’t. he was a victim of a fool with a gun, a black fool, not a white one, and whatever faults the white man has vis a vis black people in general, it seems to me that often, black folks are their own worst enemies.
maybe it’s racist of me to say so, but, I have come to believe that the way some people see it, facts can be racist. I prefer to live in the world which credits facts nonetheless.
again, thanks for your replies, and a meaningful conversation!
“Anyhow i am not sure that just being white makes me a racist or not. ”
Kurtz, it doesn’t.
The American Founders gave Americans the Constitution, Bill of Rights, Naturalization Acts of 1790, 1795, 1798 and 1802, and general voting requirements that voters be Male, European, 21 with 50 lbs. Sterling/50 acres as the functional process of self-governance. Freedom reigned until the wholly unconstitutional “Reign of Terror” of “Crazy Abe” Lincoln who denied constitutional secession, imposed the unconstitutional suspension of Habeas Corpus in a condition not of rebellion but secession, confiscated private property, prosecuted an unconstitutional war undeclared by Congress until Congress was compelled by Lincoln to declare it, etc., and concluding with unconstitutional amendments which were improperly ratified by Lincoln’s successors under the duress of brutal post-war military occupation. Not only should the “Reconstruction Amendments” have not been ratified but Lincoln should have been impeached, convicted and severely penalized.
Additionally, the status of slaves changed from that of “property” to “illegal alien” upon the issuance of the unconstitutional Emancipation Proclamation as the Naturalization Act of 1802 was in full force and effect requiring
citizens to be “…free white person(s)…,” in turn requiring the immediate deportation of former slaves. This is the consummate “cold case” in need of resolution.
We gave you “…a republic, if you can keep it.”
– Ben Franklin, 1787
We gave you “…a republic, if you can take it back.”
– Ben Franklin, 2020
George, a Constitutional Republic was created and through a Constitutional Amendment women were given the right to vote. You don’t want them to vote and they don’t want you to vote.
Crazy Abe was right and saved the nation from disaster.
I think some of your history above needs modification.
Amendment XV
Section 1.
The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude.
well lots of people have told me so over the decades and each time I care less and less about what names and insults are tossed my way
Kurtz, if you are a racist it isn’t because you are caucasian. The racism card has been overplayed and is causing great damage to our fellow Americans no matter their race. Blame it on the left.
Snooze.
Kurtz, that’s Chicago. Most Blacks and Whites are leery of each other. Yet they might work together all week long in relative harmony.
On my first, fulltime job in Chicago, I worked with an older Italian American whose uncle was a notorious member of The Outfit. This coworker was a Joe Pesci type who used the ‘N’ word frequently. Yet there was Black woman working there that he honestly enjoyed. Their complicated relationship seemed to typify race relations in Chicago.
yes Seth Peter that’s Chicago. It has its own peculiar charm that way. forgive me if i digress.
I remember when Stony Island was a schiesshole and the only good part of it was “Mosque Maryam.” Those were the days when people were glad that the NOI security teams had received a contract to try and keep order in the Robert Taylor homes because total chaos was just not ok.
Well since then the Community Reinvestment act has lifted Stony Island up quite a bit, and the Robert Taylor homes have been bulldozed. Louis F got cancer and recovered from it; he’s still there and the NOI operations abide.
The Outfit is now decimated. In the 80s the FBI developed two lawyer snitches and one made man snitch, which was the basis for many successful prosecutions. These were devestating to it; and what legalized gambling in NW indiana did to it right after, was even worse. And guess who had the first license? the Trump casino. Which is now under different ownership. That took away the big money maker. And just recently they legalized sports betting in NW Indiana too, so whatever side gambling rackets they still had will soon be gone too.
Now should anybody wish to read about the Chicago LCN of yesteryear, get any book by the FBI man who followed them around for decades, BIll Roemer. Bill’s dead now, but he was one hell of an agent going all the way back to the days of J Edgar. 90% of the real world information that Hollywood used in its famous quasi fictional movies like Casino, ultimately came from legwork done by Bill Roemer and his comrades. Srangely i have never seen a credit in any movies to BIll, which seems unfair to me but what do i know.

One communist versus one street corner pimp. Come to think of it Biden should sellect Motor Mouth the Camel Jockey. for BP and head up the new DNC Bullshevik Bulletin,.
Democrats need to face the facts – Joe Biden is corrupt. He’s been using his family to bring in big bucks all of his political career. Bernie Sanders can’t win. Their only hope would be somebody like Tulsi Gabbard or bring back Jim Webb. Or, for CNN’s pandemic claims to come true and blame it on Trump.
Sem, Tulsi Gabbard and Jim Webb have two different ideologies so if you say bring back one or the other are you really saying that Democrats have no principals and their only goal is to win in order to obtain power?
Joe Biden has his own problems. He never was Presidential material and presently his abilities seem to be rapidly deteriorating. Enter the fact that at the very least the Biden family is crooked and Joe Biden is involved.
This is the perfect candidate for the Democrats in the shadows. A President who is crooked and whose mind is gone, so they pull the strings of power reaping tremendous rewards at the expense of hard working Americans.
I am going to say something that i know of. that applies to Biden. I too lost family members to a car accident. That was 60 years ago. For many of those it was my secret weapon to get away with things. Biden wears his tragedy for years and because people feel sorry for him they have allowed him to get away with it. People wont say they do it outloud but they think oh he has been through so much leave him alone. Biden has used the pity card outloud himself. He said a few month ago I never knew about Hunter because Bo was dying. There is no response to that so he slide by. That is something you never get over and its with you the rest of your life. I know this. I moved about 40 years ago to stop the pity. He does not have that luxury and now its coming back to haunt him.
Ah but Trump WILL go there. Joe Biden has always been slow on the uptake and now even more so. Can you imagine how flustered Biden will get in a debate with Trump when Trump asks “Where’s Hunter?” It won’t be pretty to watch ol’ Joe bumble and stumble. Politics ain’t for sissies Joe.
This reminds me of President Jimmy Hee Hee Carter’s brother Billy Carter
Billy Carter started that Billy Beer operation, better known as downstream piss
I appreciate Donald Trump Jr saying he would debate Hunter Biden and bring his tax returns.
Only if Trump, Sr. brings his first. And…I know you saw that on Fox.
Natacha – I heard that Joe has not passed his cognition test the last couple of years. He really needs to release more of his medical records.
Oh, infuence peddling, as in the fascist trump crime family? I don’t think it quite reaches to that degree, in fact no where near. Keep GitMo open for those that belong there, the fascist trump, his crime family and all his enablers.
Oh, another case of, “It’s okay for Democrats to be corrupt because Republicans are also corrupt.” By that standard, is it okay to commit genocide because, “Hitler did it too,” or first?
There is government corruption on both sides, but Trump is not part of that corruption and anyone who claims otherwise has the opportunity to lay out the charges and the evidence. I note that all too many leftists on this blog are full of hot air and can’t create any such list. On the other hand the evidence against Joe Biden and his family members mounts up.
Not too many people can line their own pockets by playing golf every weekend and charging their entourage and body guards exaggerated prices to stay in their home.
Are you talking about the Clinton’s?
What is the crime? The deep state, the media and the Dem establishment has been giving Donald Trump, his family and associates and friends a deep probe that went way up his insides and they got nothing. After almost four years they got nothing. Nothing to pin on him or his family. So shaddup already.
“Got nothing”? Really? The Mueller Report found 10 instances of obstruction of justice, which Mueller was told he couldn’t prosecute so long as Trump is stinking up the people’s White House. Those obstructions of justice prevented Mueller from obtaining evidence on Trump’s direct ties to Russia and collusion, which did help him cheat, despite losing the popular vote. Why was he hiding this evidence? Why did he command witnesses not to cooperate with Mueller’s or the House’s investigations? Why were there 30+ guilty pleas or guilty verdicts of Trump’s campaign people, and why did 48 U.S. Senators vote to impeach, despite the fact that Republicans blocked evidence in the form of documents and witnesses if there’s “nothing”?
Trumpsters are immune to facts when it comes to Trump, but any allegation or even any rumor involving any Democrat, no matter how flimsy or unsupported, results in absolute belief as to the truth. Take today’s sad little piece by Turley that begins with “if reports are accurate” for instance. What reports? From whom? Based on what facts? Turley tries to make the case that Biden’s brother has been engaged in influence peddling, but Joe Biden has been out of office for almost 4 years now. How could Joe Biden influence government contracts or any other benefit to his brother since Trump cheated his way into office? This piece, based on nothing and which falls under the category of gossip, is beneath someone with Turley’s credentials. Notwithstanding this fact, Trumpsters believe it. That’s why people like me think Trumpsters are ignoramuses.
well Natacha since I am a nobody I realize that other nobodies like you don’t understand how influence peddling works. But, I have been around somebodies like a fly on the wall many times in my life, in smoky rooms if you will, where influence was being used, yes it’s possible for a person like Joe Biden or his immediate family to sell influence. It’s only a matter of how and the circumstances. So your insults about ignorance ring hollow.
Now selling infuence is not always illegal. In fact most times it probably isn’t. Just look at all these kids on the internet trying to be “social media influencers” for examples of lawful influence peddling. Nor is it always bad. Influential people can do good works.
But sometimes its wrong and sometimes it’s illegal. We’ll have plenty of time to get into that where the Bidens are concerned. But for now lets sit back and enjoy the show old Joe is putting on with his funny remarks! I like the guy more and more. He says we’re going to get Trump reelected, did ya hear that? Awesome!
Explain what influence Joe Biden could produce now, with Trump in office. What government agencies would award a contract to a relative of Joe Biden, who has been out of office almost 4 years? No current government agency head is friends with or owes any loyalty to Joe Biden. And, there aren’t any facts or sources cited. That’s why this piece is pathetic.
Like i said Natch you clearly don’t know much about the subject. it’s what we lawyers call “fact intensive” and people who are in a position to do it, tend to keep that sort of information close to the vest. it’s possible is the key thing; here you are maintaining it isn’t possible. which is at least funny compared to your usual drivel
The horse has already left the barn….Influence, what influence?? We are talking about billions that have been stolen by the democrats via a corrupt Ukrainian govt.
This criminal corruption goes all the way up to the left’s god i.e. BHO himself. This is all coming out soon!
The Mueller Report found 10 instances of obstruction of justice, which Mueller was told he couldn’t prosecute so long as Trump is stinking up the people’s White House.
1. It required making use of a novel conception of what constitutes ‘obstruction of justice’ that the Department hadn’t used before.
2. The contention was that the President was obstructing Andrew Weissman’s obstruction investigation (In spite of the reams of documentation the president provided). Cute little self-licking ice cream cone you have there.
Only a fanatic like you would take it seriously.
Yeah, we’ve heard the tired argument about the “reams of documents” produced, one of the oldest lawyer’s tricks. Paper the opponent with piles of irrelevant documents, and then when hauled before a judge on a motion to compel, scream about all of the pages of documents produced. However, none of them is responsive to what was asked for.
There’s nothing novel about lack of cooperation with subpoena constituting obstruction of justice. Trump won’t release his tax returns. Ever wonder why? Trump has ties to Russia. Ever wonder how deep these ties go, or to whom he is beholden, why he is deferential to Putin, why he tried to get Russia back into the G-7, or why he sided with Putin over American intelligence agencies on the issue of Russia helping him cheat his way into our White House?
Today’s sad little piece is light on facts and heavy on gossip. Is there some proof that Joe Biden himself did anything wrong? What is the proof? Why write about this if there isn’t any proof?
Crazy lady.
You ever wonder whose dole she’s on? It’s impossible to believe she could function in an ordinary work place unless she performs rote tasks under the watchful eye of an actual (rather than organizational) supervisor.
I know people invest in strange notions, but few of them are compulsively voluble about it. Reminds me of the character Herbert 92x Cantrell in Bonfire of the Vanities. His public defender tells the prosecutor, “I try not to bring that up because if you do, it’s an hour out of your life. Have you ever dealt with a logical lunatic? They’re much worse than an ordinary lunatic…”
Also reminds me of the minor political figure in Rochester who was billed on his op-ed pieces as ‘a rare books librarian’. Their were probably about three rare and special collections in the Genesee Valley large enough to have a f/t salaried staff, and I very much doubt he had been employed at any of them at any time within a decade of when those op-eds were published. A lapsed social worker who’d been on a political committee with him offered a rough assessment of him: “schizoaffective”.
Trump won’t release his tax returns. Ever wonder why?
Because he doesn’t care to satisfy your puerile curiosity. We’ve learned in recent years that there is a critical mass of political partisans working for the IRS. If there actually were scandals, they’d have been leaked long ago.
Paper the opponent with piles of irrelevant documents,
He plied them with the documents they insisted on inspecting. The term ‘chutzpah’ was invented for people like you.
Natacha asks: “Is there some proof that Joe Biden himself did anything wrong?”
Define ‘wrong’
Only a fanatic like you would take it seriously.
_________________________________________
Nobody should take the Mueller investigation seriously for the simple reason that Trump hired Mueller. It was the trump administration investigating the trump administration.
Trump hired Mueller.
He did nothing of the kind. Do you think bald lying persuades anyone?
It’s jinnism.
Natacha —
“While one of the many allegations leveled by Democrats against Barr is that he misrepresented Mueller’s reasons for deciding not to come to a conclusion on obstruction, a joint statement from the Department of Justice and Mueller’s spokesman issued shortly after Mueller’s final remarks Wednesday made clear that was not the case. The joint statement from DOJ spokeswoman Kerri Kupec and Special Counsel spokesman Peter Carr stressed that Mueller did not decline to come to a decision only because of OLC opinion, as Barr stated in public testimony:
“The Attorney General has previously stated that the Special Counsel repeatedly affirmed that he was not saying that, but for the OLC opinion, he would have found the President obstructed justice. The Special Counsel’s report and his statement today made clear that the office concluded it would not reach a determination – one way or the other – about whether the President committed a crime. There is no conflict between these statements.”
“Barr stated in public testimony that Mueller told him “several times in a group meeting that he was not saying that but for the OLC opinion he would have found obstruction.” Here, Mueller stated that he could not prosecute, and that he would not say whether Trump had committed a crime. These two statements are not actually in conflict. Mueller may well have told Barr that he had not reached a determination on obstruction, and that he saw no reason to do so. That’s what he told the public, after all. Furthermore, Mueller explained that he didn’t question Barr’s “good faith” in his decision to “make the entire report public all at once.” So much for Barr’s supposed obstruction.”
Last time I checked my history, most fascist dictators wanted to disarm the general population so they could exert complete control…..Yea that’s Trump alright.
Better take another hit on the bong there stuuups!
Not fascist.
anyhow, what’s wrong with the fasces? Symbol of Roman authority, it was on our dimes for decades
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercury_dime#/media/File:1943D_Mercury_Dime_reverse.jpg
authority is good. order is good. law is good. no laws no order; no authority no order. No order, bad!
Kurtz, I think a lot of people on this blog misuse the term fascist and need to learn what fascism is.
Allen,
( sarc on )
Shut up, roll your sleeve up & take this new govt Mandated Vaccine for the Wuhan/Chapel Hill North Carolina US cooked up Bio-Weapon Flu or you & your family & friends will be severally punished!
(sarc off)
The above is what’s called Medical Tyranny Fascism to which the US Federal Govt & state gov’s have No Constitutional Authority to impose upon on citizens.
Even my Vet knew & called those Fascist Azzholes on this crap.
Anyway, it’s clear to many they have declared war on us citizens. Welcome to WW4, I believe.
Why hasn’t Prez Trump sent in the US military & rounded up these traitors???

Sergeant, your Sabai is showing!
Perhaps you should slip into something a little more comfortable.
One of the lesser benefits of the Trump presidency is the sunlight shining on the corruption in Washington.
The Dems, in the eagerness to nail Trump for something – anything – have opened the door to their own criminality.
