So just a thought.....If (due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine that triggered the "severe" sanctions from the US and it's allies) the Russian Ruble is hitting rock bottom (.013 on Feb 7 to .0085 today) https://www.x-rates.com/graph/?from=RUB&to=USD&amount=1 and the US along with the rest of Europe is still buying oil from Russia, shouldn't we all be getting a serious deal on oil prices right now?  

Yet, crude is over $113/barrel today......Sooooo, who's making some serious coin right now? 

And SF is noticing we all are no longer paying attention to the Bidens/Clintons/Putins interests in Ukraine that was actually being investigated, while Vlad is moving in and will most likely destroy (or capture) any and all evidence of improper involvement from the US political establishment........In other words, Putin will own the US political left wing for quite a while coming.......Wonder if he will get suicided sooner or later......

Just some SF ramblings......

Russia, Russia, Russia.

Let's Go Brandon!

Every day Biden is in office, cements his legacy as the WORST potus ever.  His vp would be even worse.

Let's Go Brandon.

Right on cue.  Enslaved to the far left.

Trump has been proven right so many times.  If you care to be educated, you can easily find the information I speak.

Never have I heard "81 million people" so quiet.

https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/watch-biden-called-out-for-racist-statement-about-three-representatives

While speaking to U.S. military veterans and caregivers at Veterans Affairs facilities in Texas on Tuesday, President Joe Biden made a perplexing comment in reference to representatives joining him at the event.


The president was joined by Texas Reps. Marc VeaseyJake Ellzey, and Colin Allred to discuss environmental exposures that military servicemen and women experience.

“The three congressmen you have here, two of them look like they really could and did play ball and the other one looks like he can bomb you,” Biden said.
Prior to saying this, Biden spoke directly to Ellzey, who was sitting in the crowd.

“Jake, you’re a fighter pilot. You get this stuff. I mean, you know what I mean. You can smile, Jake. It's OK. It’s OK,” Biden said as the crowd laughed. “Jake’s a Republican, but I like the hell out of him. He’s got — no, I’m serious. This guy’s the real deal.”

Biden finished by adding that the three congressmen are “a tough group but a good group.”

The video of his comment has been shared widely across social media, with many calling it racist

“The context does not change the idiocy of Biden’s comment,” one Twitter user wrote. “Black guys make good ball players in Joe's racist view."

 

“The three congressmen you have here, two of them look like they really could and did play ball and the other one looks like he can bomb you,” Biden said.

2 black guys and 1 white guy - ALL of media if Trump had said this.........

Biden continues to show his true colors.  When will people wake up to the fact that the Democrats (since at least Obama) have been using old Nazi tactics of blaming others of what they are guilty of doing?

Again - it is SF's deeply held belief that President Biden won't last in his position past January 2023 for any number of reasons.......It was never the Democrat's intention, he's a puppet.  We will have our first female President in 2023, who will (IMHO) choose Hillary as her VP.

Biden considers digital dollar—here’s how it could differ from regular money: https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2022/03/biden-considers-digital-dollar-heres-how-it-could-differ-from-regular-money/

Quote

President Joe Biden today issued an executive order that could lead to the US creating a digital currency.

"My Administration places the highest urgency on research and development efforts into the potential design and deployment options of a United States CBDC [Central Bank Digital Currency]," the executive order said. "These efforts should include assessments of possible benefits and risks for consumers, investors, and businesses; financial stability and systemic risk; payment systems; national security; the ability to exercise human rights; financial inclusion and equity; and the actions required to launch a United States CBDC if doing so is

deemed to be in the national interest."

Biden's order said a US-issued digital currency could be used to "support efficient and low-cost transactions, particularly for cross‑border funds transfers and payments, and to foster greater access to the financial system, with fewer of the risks posed by private sector-administered digital assets" such as bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. But there are "potential risks and downsides to consider," and Biden ordered federal agencies to prepare a report within six months analyzing the implications. Over 100 countries are already "exploring or piloting" CBDCs, the White House said.

Biden also ordered government agencies to develop policies for managing cryptocurrencies that already exist. "The rise in digital assets creates an opportunity to reinforce American leadership in the global financial system and at the technological frontier, but also has substantial implications for consumer protection, financial stability, national security, and climate risk," the White House said. Biden's order "encourages regulators to ensure sufficient oversight and safeguard against any systemic financial risks posed by digital assets."

Biden's order noted that "negative climate impacts and environmental pollution... may result from some cryptocurrency mining." There would be no need for mining with a digital currency issued by a central bank.

...

Just say No.   Also from the article:

Quote

A US CBDC wouldn't replace cash or paper currency.

They forgot to add ", yet." to that sentence.

Former press secretary to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, Iuliia Mendel, has criticised Kamala Harris for laughing following a question about Ukrainian refugees.

In a now deleted Tweet, Ms Mendel wrote “it would be a tragedy if this woman won the presidency.”

 

Yes, Ms. Mendel, there are a lot of us in the US that feel the same way.  BUT - at least there are no mean tweets......

Saudi, Emirati Leaders Decline Calls With Biden During Ukraine Crisis

Persian Gulf monarchies have signaled they won’t help ease surging oil prices unless Washington supports them in Yemen, elsewhere

 
By Dion Nissenbaum , Stephen Kalin and David S. Cloud
Updated March 8, 2022 7:48 pm ET
 

The White House unsuccessfully tried to arrange calls between President Biden and the de facto leaders of Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates as the U.S. was working to build international support for Ukraine and contain a surge in oil prices, said Middle East and U.S. officials.

Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and the U.A.E.’s Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed al Nahyan both declined U.S. requests to speak to Mr. Biden in recent weeks, the officials said, as Saudi and Emirati officials have become more vocal in recent weeks in their criticism of American policy in the Gulf.

“There was some expectation of a phone call, but it didn’t happen,” said a U.S. official of the planned discussion between the Saudi Prince Mohammed and Mr. Biden. “It was part of turning on the spigot [of Saudi oil].”

Mr. Biden did speak with Prince Mohammed’s 86-year-old father, King Salman, on Feb. 9, when the two men reiterated their countries’ longstanding partnership. The U.A.E.’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs said the call between Mr. Biden and Sheikh Mohammed would be rescheduled.
 

The Saudis have signaled that their relationship with Washington has deteriorated under the Biden administration, and they want more support for their intervention in Yemen’s civil war, help with their own civilian nuclear program as Iran’s moves ahead, and legal immunity for Prince Mohammed in the U.S., Saudi officials said. The crown prince faces multiple lawsuits in the U.S., including over the killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi in 2018.

The Emiratis share Saudi concerns about the restrained U.S. response to recent missile strikes by Iran-backed Houthi militants in Yemen against the U.A.E. and Saudi Arabia, officials said. Both governments are also concerned about the revival of the Iran nuclear deal, which doesn’t address other security concerns of theirs and has entered the final stages of negotiations in recent weeks.

The White House has worked to repair relations with two key Middle Eastern countries it needs on its side as oil prices push over $130 a barrel for the first time in almost 14 years. Saudi Arabia and the U.A.E. are the only two major oil producers that can pump millions of more barrels of more oil—a capacity that, if used, could help calm the crude market at a time when American gasoline prices are at high levels.

Brett McGurk, the National Security Council’s Middle East coordinator, and Amos Hochstein, the State Department’s energy envoy, both traveled to Riyadh late last month to try to mend fences with Saudi officials. Mr. McGurk also met with Sheikh Mohammed in Abu Dhabi in a bid to address Emirati frustrations over the U.S. response to the Houthi attacks.

The call with Sheikh Mohammed in early February was expected to focus on ways the two countries could counter Houthi attacks from Yemen.

One U.S. official said the Biden administration has worked diligently to strengthen Saudi and Emirati missile defenses, and that America would be doing more in the coming months to help the two Gulf nations protect themselves. It may not be all the two countries want, the official said, but the U.S. is trying to address their security concerns.

But the Saudis and Emiratis have declined to pump more oil, saying they are sticking to a production plan approved between their group, the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries, and a group of other producers led by Russia. The energy alliance with Russia, one of the world’s top oil producers, has enhanced OPEC’s power while also bringing the Saudis and Emiratis closer to Moscow.

Both Prince Mohammed and Sheikh Mohammed took phone calls from Russian President Vladimir Putin last week, after declining to speak with Mr. Biden. They both later spoke with Ukraine’s president, and a Saudi official said the U.S. had requested that Prince Mohammed mediate in the conflict, which he said the kingdom is embarking on.


White House spokeswoman Jen Psaki said earlier this week that there were no plans to talk to Prince Mohammed anytime soon about oil, and that there were no plans for Mr. Biden to travel to Saudi Arabia.

Saudi Arabia and the U.A.E. forged deep ties with former President Donald Trump, who sided with them in a regional dispute with Qatar, pulled the U.S. out of the Iran nuclear deal that they had opposed, made his first trip abroad to Riyadh in 2017 and stood by Prince Mohammed after the killing of Mr. Khashoggi. But Mr. Trump’s decision not to respond to an Iranian drone and missile attack on major Saudi oil sites in 2019 rattled Gulf partners who have relied for decades on the promise of U.S. security protection. Iran denied involvement in the oil facility attacks.

The rift between Mr. Biden and Saudi Arabia’s crown prince stretches back to the 2020 presidential election, when the Democratic candidate vowed to treat the kingdom as a “pariah” state after a Saudi hit team killed Mr. Khashoggi in 2018 in Istanbul.

There is “very little social redeeming value in the present government in Saudi Arabia,” Mr. Biden said during a presidential debate in 2019.

After taking office, Mr. Biden released a U.S. intelligence report that concluded that Prince Mohammed had approved the plan to capture or kill Mr. Khashoggi, who had been an outspoken critic of the young Saudi ruler.

 

Prince Mohammed has denied knowing anything about the plot, even though people close to the crown prince were convicted by a Saudi court of taking part in murdering the journalist.

Mr. Biden also publicly castigated Saudi Arabia over its protracted war in Yemen and cut off the flow of some weapons Riyadh could use to target Houthis. The president also reversed a move by his predecessor that put the Houthis on America’s official list of global terrorist groups, a move that Saudi leaders said had emboldened the Yemeni force and thwarted efforts to broker a cease-fire.

On Monday, Ms. Psaki said the president stood by his view that Saudi Arabia should be treated like a “pariah” state and that the leadership had little redeeming social value.

When asked in an interview with the Atlantic magazine released last week if Mr. Biden misunderstood the Saudi leader, Prince Mohammed responded: “Simply, I do not care.”

Prince Mohammed said alienating the Saudi leaders would hurt the U.S. president. “It’s up to him to think about the interests of America,” he said. “Go for it.”

One U.S. official acknowledged that Prince Mohammed is the key Saudi decision maker, and that the Biden administration will have to find ways to work with the crown prince on everything from energy policy to normalizing relations with Israel.

Along with Saudi Arabia, the U.A.E. has urged the U.S. to put the Houthis on its list of terrorist groups and to send more military aid to help defend the country from more attacks. But the U.S. hasn’t moved to address those Emirati concerns, according to Gulf officials.

Last month, Gen. Frank McKenzie, the head of U.S. Central Command, flew to Abu Dhabi for a series of meetings with Emirati leaders to discuss ways to beef up security in the wake of the Houthi missile strikes. Gen. McKenzie wanted to meet with Sheikh Mohammed, but was unable to get time with the Emirati leader, according to a Middle East official.

Last week, Yousef Al Otaiba, the U.A.E. ambassador to the U.S., said that relations between the two countries were strained.

“It is like any relationship,” he said in Abu Dhabi. “It has strong days where the relationship is very healthy and days where the relationship is under question. Today, we’re going through a stress test, but I am confident that we will get out of it and get to a better place.”

FTA - Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and the U.A.E.’s Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed al Nahyan both declined U.S. requests to speak to Mr. Biden in recent weeks, the officials said, as Saudi and Emirati officials have become more vocal in recent weeks in their criticism of American policy in the Gulf.

There once was a time when a call by the US President was welcomed.

Gee - And here I thought President Biden had all that "working with Foreign heads of state experience" over DJT.......and was going to potentially be able to secure us more oil since he kinda torpedoed our own oil drilling and pipeline access from Canada to the Gulf......Yeah, he's an idiot, but Again - at least he doesn't tweet mean stuff though.

Yeah, let's go ask Venezuela for help.....That's the ticket.....

What is the bumblin and shufflin potus gonna do now?

Being reported that the terrorist harboring nation of Iran (that HATES the US and that biden is trying to get oil from) is shooting missiles at the US embassy in Iraq..

Easily the worst administration in  my lifetime.

Anyone that supports/supported biden, please tell us why.  You "81 million" owe the US and the free world under attack, an explanation.

His policies and utter ineptitude and weakness have put our country DIRECTLY where we are at.

IMPEACH him NOW!

Midterms can not get here soon enough.

All of this to distract from what is going on here in the US.

Don't forget, right before Russia invaded Ukraine, Hillary was found guilty  of spying on POTUS Trump.

Maxwell.  Durham.  Burisma.  Hunter.  Human trafficking.  South border.  All to distract.

WAKE UP!

Quietest I have ever heard the Riden w Biden crew.  They would rather our country turn to sh**, than to reinstate Trump policies that work.

First, The New York Times decides more than a year later that Hunter Biden’s business woes are worthy of a story. Then, deep in the piece, in passing, it notes that Hunter’s laptop is legitimate.

“People familiar with the investigation said prosecutors had examined emails between Mr. Biden, Mr. Archer and others about Burisma and other foreign business activity,” The Times writes. “Those emails were obtained by The New York Times from a cache of files that appears to have come from a laptop abandoned by Mr. Biden in a Delaware repair shop. The email and others in the cache were authenticated by people familiar with them and with the investigation.”

Authenticated!!! You don’t say. You mean, when a newspaper actually does reporting on a topic and doesn’t just try to whitewash coverage for Joe Biden, it discovers it’s actually true?

 

No S#!T Sherlock!  There's enough dirt in that laptop to literally bury the Bidens thanks to the inept Hunter.  Will this be the start of the straw that breaks the camel's back?  SF has predicted ever since election night this POTUS will not last past the 2 year mark.

https://nypost.com/2022/03/28/biden-used-cheat-sheet-while-doubling-down-on-message-to-oust-putin/

President Joe Biden once again referred to a printed cheat sheet sheet as he doubled down on his unscripted weekend claim that Vladimir Putin “cannot remain in power.”

On Monday Biden, 79, told reporters he made “no apologies” for his remarks — made off the cuff and not part of his prepared speech in a nationally televised address from Poland Saturday — and did not view it as a provocation to Russia.

“It’s more an aspiration than anything. He shouldn’t be in power. There’s no  — I mean, people like this shouldn’t be ruling countries, but they do. The fact is they do, but it doesn’t mean I can’t express my outrage about it.”

His comments closely aligned with notes printed on a small piece of paper that he was photographed holding in his left hand as he spoke that began as follows:

  • If you weren’t advocating for regime change, what did you mean? Can you clarify?
  • I was expressing the moral outrage I felt towards the actions of this man
  • I was not articulating a change in policy

“I was talking to the Russian people. The last part of the speech was talking to the Russian people, telling them what we thought,” Biden told reporters.

Joe Biden  

The president has been photographed several times using a cheat sheet to talk to reporters and voters both in the White House and on the campaign trail.

About two weeks before the 2020 election, he pulled notes out of his jacket as he fielded a question about taxes at a Town Hall event.

“I carry this card with me,” Biden told the inquiring voter as he repeatedly referenced the notes to recite a litany of dollar amounts and percentages pertaining to his plan to eliminate the tax cuts of former President Donald Trump.

Photos showed he used several cheat sheets during his first presidential press conference, including one with the headshots and names of reporters he planned to call on.

Biden also utilized notes during a 2021 summit with Putin, while touring the damage of Hurricane Ida in Louisiana and while calling on reporters at the G20 summit in Rome.

“I’ll take your questions, and as usual, folks, they gave me a list of the people I’m going to call on,” Biden told the assembled media at the November forum.

 

Talk about scripted......Look, I'm not coming down on the guy for using notes, I do that as well.  But when the questions are coming from "impromptu" reporters "firing off questions" at him IN THE SAME ORDER OF HIS NOTES, I might be a little suspicious it may be staged.......

The advanced aged, like Mr. Biden, tend to welcome routine and fear impromptu spontaneity, lest they get confused and befuddled.  That's why he needs the questions in a certain order, hence the staging of the entire event.

Biden's Desperate Wealth Tax Flip-Flop

https://reason.com/2022/03/29/bidens-desperate-wealth-tax-flip-flop/

Quote

In December 2019, when Joe Biden, still campaigning for the Democratic presidential nomination, released his tax plan, much of the coverage focused on the contrast between his comparatively plan and the plans issued by his more progressive rivals. A CNBC report on his plan was labeled "wealth tax wars." A Washington Post headline noted that  Biden's $3.2 trillion tax plan highlighted "divisions" with Sens. Bernie Sanders (I–Vt.) and Elizabeth Warren (D–Mass.). Among the starkest of those divisions was that the former vice president had rejected calls by Warren and Sanders to back a wealth tax on the richest Americans. 

On the campaign trail, Biden himself played up that contrast. Among the criticisms lobbed at the Sanders and Warren wealth tax proposals was that they were fundamentally punitive, because they taxed wealth of a small, specific group of individuals. He told a wealthy crowd of supporters in Los Angeles that while they shouldn't expect a tax cut from him, there would be "no punishment either." 

Around the same time, a CNBC reporter asked Biden about arguments—some of which came from experts friendly to Democrats—that the wealth taxes proposed by his rivals would be unworkable and punitive. In response, Biden allowed that "parts of the plan, those objections apply." He complained about divisive tax policy, and rejected the idea of a "a single tax, on a single group of people." Earlier in the interview, Biden, without prompting, went out of his way to insist that "tax policy is not about punishment." 

Biden was running as the moderate in the race. His goal was to separate himself from the progressives. So he rejected the idea of a tax policy that he saw as divisive, punitive, and potentially unworkable. 

Yet now, as president, Biden has embraced a wealth tax of his own. In his latest budget plan, Biden proposed something the White House has dubbed the "Billionaire Minimum Income Tax," which applies to all income, realized and unrealized, for households worth more than $100 million. The Biden administration is framing this as a form of "prepayment" on future capital gains—which is to say it's a form of taxation on money that someone has not actually seen, based on the value of their holdings. It's not exactly the same as the wealth taxes proposed by Warren and Sanders, but it's designed around the same fundamental idea: the taxation of personal wealth, rather than of cash income, which often takes the form of difficult-to-value assets. 

Most of the same criticisms that applied to the Warren and Sanders plans still apply: Biden's plan probably wouldn't raise nearly as much money as the administration assumes: Wealth taxes are exceptionally difficult and resource-intensive to administer, which is why most OECD countries that have implemented wealth taxes eventually dropped them. It's also quite likely to be unconstitutional. At minimum, if it passed, it would be tied up in court.  

But of course, it's not intended to pass, which makes this exercise even more of a charade. Biden's latest wealth tax proposal is part of the White House's annual budget proposal, which is always a sort of wish list rather than a realistic path forward for the budget. 

Biden's wealth tax, then, is a desperate policy gimmick by a White House struggling with low approval numbers on the economy. Even Biden's allies understand this. Late last year, his administration tried to convince congressional Democrats to include a wealth tax in one of the big spending bills. At the time, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D–Calif.) reportedly called it "a publicity stunt." That's exactly what this is. 

It's a publicity stunt, however, that tells us something, not only about Biden's leftward drift, but about his comportment as president, given his previously stated opposition to the idea.

Biden is willing to make an obvious phony of himself, embracing a policy he knows is punitive, divisive, unworkable, and virtually certain not to pass—and he's willing to do so simply to get attention. Not only is Biden not a moderate, he is evidently not trustworthy either.

Hunter Biden won’t like the interview his father’s chief of staff Ron Klain did with ABC’s George Stephanopoulos on Sunday.

Asked about the Delaware investigation into the president’s son’s business affairs, Klain threw Hunter and his uncle Jim Biden under the bus.

“The president is confident that his family did the right thing. But, again, I want to just be really clear, these are actions by Hunter and his brother. They’re private matters. They don’t involve the president. And they certainly are something that no one at the White House is involved in.”

This is the party line, parroted by the Washington Post and CNN in their belated coverage of the story last week.

Sure, they say, it looks bad for Hunter, but, gosh, Joe Biden had nothing to do with it.

Unfortunately, this line of defense does not sustain scrutiny.

Judging by morsels trickling out of the ongoing investigation into Hunter, the scope has widened to include questions involving the president.

‘Big Guy’

Witnesses testifying before the Delaware grand jury are believed to have been asked if they know who is the “Big Guy” referred to in coded fashion in emails on Hunter’s abandoned laptop and in WhatsApp messages his former business partner Tony Bobulinski handed to the FBI in October 2020.

Bobulinski asserts that the “Big Guy” is Joe Biden.

The identity of the “Big Guy” is relevant because he was to be allocated 10% equity in a joint venture Hunter and partners were cooking up with Chinese company CEFC, according to an email on the laptop.

“Hunter Biden called his dad ‘the Big Guy’ or ‘my Chairman,’ and frequently referenced asking him for his sign-off or advice on various potential deals that we were discussing,” Bobulinski wrote in a letter to The Post in October 2020. “I’ve seen VP Biden saying he never talked to Hunter about his business. I’ve seen firsthand that that’s not true, because it wasn’t just Hunter’s business, they said they were putting the Biden family name and its legacy on the line.”

There is evidence on the laptop that Joe Biden profited from Hunter’s overseas business dealings, indicating mingled finances, shared bank accounts and household bills Hunter was expected to pay for his father.

Hunter complained about having to give “half” his salary to his father and “pay for everything for this entire family for 30 years.”

But even if Klain and media pals want to dismiss evidence of Joe Biden’s involvement in his family’s influence-peddling scheme — including meetings with Hunter’s foreign partners — that doesn’t clear the president.

There is no country in the world where millions of dollars paid to a top official’s son for doing nothing would not be regarded as corruption.

“Large payments to the children of powerful government officials by those with interests potentially affected by those officials’ actions are universally understood to be corrupt efforts to influence the officials,” Manhattan litigation lawyer Francis Menton writes in the Manhattan Contrarian blog.

“In cases involving people other than the Bidens, whether the official/parent ‘personally benefited’ from the payments or ‘knew details’ of the transactions are considered completely irrelevant.”

Klain will have to find a better response.

 

The distancing from Hunter has officially started......"Looks bad for Hunter, but gosh, Joe had nothing to do with it".....
