Here’s a link to the just-released 87-page report of US Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs and US Senate Committee on Finance Majority Staff Report entitled Hunter Biden, Burma, and Corruption:  The Impact on U.S. and government Policy and Related Concerns.  The Report’s cover page is shown to the left (how appropriate!).

After reading the report, any reasonable person could conclude that there is probable cause to believe that while he was serving as former President Barack Hussein Obama’s Vice-President from 2009 until 2017, Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. (AKA:  Slo-Mo Joe, quid pro quo Joe) was not-so-subtly offering “access” by foreign governments to those in power in the US government.  In return, Biden was using his own son, Hunter, as a clumsy cutout for millions of dollars poorly concealed as the proceeds of lucrative business deals.

Now the Marxist-Leftists (formerly known as the Democrat Party) in the United States are more determined than ever to have Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. be elected President of the United States on November 3, 2020, and inaugurated as President of the United States on January 20, 2021.

The real question we must ask is, While Biden might be scribbling his cholinesterase inhibitor- or memantine-enhanced signature on Presidential documents, who would be pulling the puppet President’s neuromuscular strings?

For those readers who want to better understand the capabilities of the military services of the People’s Republic of China (PRC), here is a link to the unclassified report prepared for Congress at the direction of the Secretary of Defense.  The report was released to the public on September 1, 2020.  Its full title is Military and Security Development Involving the Peoples Republic of China | 2020.

This report was written for members of Congress and their staffs.  It is detailed but not highly technical.  It is highly informative as well about the PRC military’s philosophy and its loyalty to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), not the citizens of the PRC.

Possibly the most important thing for readers to understand is the relationship of the PRC’s military to the CCP’s total control over the PRC’s government.  Simply put, unlike the United States where the loyalty of the US military services is to the Constitution of the United States, the PRC’s military forces and its objectives are loyal to the preservation and international expansion of the CCP.

Former Vice President Joe Biden’s physical and cognitive condition has deteriorated to the point that he is incapable of serving as President of the United States if he is elected on November 3, 2020, and is inaugurated on January 20, 2021.

For the sake of the country and out of genuine respect for Biden’s decades of public service, the Democrat Party must select a replacement presidential candidate before the party’s nominating  convention begins on August 17, 2020, in Milwaukee.

Everyone who chooses to vote in the November 3, 2020, presidential election is entitled to reasonably expect that one of the nominees on their ballot will be the President of the United States inaugurated on January 20, 2021.  If there is a pre-election bait-and-switch scheme to elect Biden but then have him immediately resign after election or inauguration, those who voted for Biden would rightly feel that their vote had been fraudulently and deceptively solicited and obtained.

The Democrats need to do the right thing.  Choosing competent presidential and vice-presidential nominees at their convention is essential.  The voters on November 3, 2020, are entitled to know that the President of the United States inaugurated on January 20, 2021, will have been duly elected by voters and not be a figurehead for a shadow government selected by party power brokers.

According to a story in Fox News online, a supposedly nonpartisan group called the Transition Integrity Group has been “Quietly [is] planning for what happens if Trump-Biden election is contested.”  The Fox story was based on a longer story which appeared in the Boston Globe.

You can read both stories and decide for yourselves how much attention to pay to either of them.

My first reaction to both stories was this:  For the last four or so years, a group of very dishonorable but prominent public officials at various times including Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Susan Rice, Eric Holder, Loretta Lynch, James Comey, Andrew McCabe, Rod Rosenstein, Robert Mueller, several members of Congress, a few openly partisan if not corrupt federal judges, and several lesser-known subordinates have been using every effort at their disposal including misuse of the US Department of Justice and the Federal Bureau of Investigation to violate the laws of the United States and overturn the will of the voters in the 2016 presidential election.  They have fabricated evidence and falsified affidavits for court orders, and they have unlawfully used the investigative authority of the FBI to first try and prevent the lawful election of Republican nominee Trump and then failing that, to force the duly sworn President Trump to resign or be removed after impeachment.

So where was this self-appointed and supposedly non-partisan Transition Integrity Group when President Trump was and still is being subjected to what amounts to an effort to seditiously interfere with the President conducting the business of his office?   What rock have these reptilian clowns been hiding under for the past few years?

OpenCdA believes that Black Lives Matter (BLM) meets the criteria for federal investigation to determine if the group’s actions amount to domestic terrorism as specifically defined in the US Code.

President Trump says he intends to declare Antifa to be a domestic terrorist organization.  Should Antifa be worried about this Trumpian hyperbolic missile strike delivered via a late-night tweet on May 30?

Probably not.   A President can declare a group of people to be a domestic terrorist organization if he wants to, but his tweeting his opinion doesn’t make it factually accurate or the group’s activities illegal.

On the other hand, the actions and activities of a group of people may violate very specific state or federal criminal laws.  Taken together and proven to be related, those aggregated violations can amount to domestic terrorism.  Regardless of how offensive the group’s name may be, laws proscribe behaviors and activities, not organizational names.

On 06-26-2020, Fox News reported  AG Barr directs creation of task force to counter anti-government extremists such as Antifa, ‘Boogaloo group, more’.  If AG Barr believes there is sufficient evidence to authorize a task force investigation of Antifa and Boogaloo group, then it seems logical he would conclude there is more than sufficient evidence to conclude that BLM warrants investigation, too.

In fact, that investigation may have already begun very quietly long before AG Barr’s memorandum was “leaked” to the Washington Post and reported on 06-26-2020.  Barr has done that before.  Recall that by the time he formally and publicly announced the appointment of US Attorney John Durham to investigate Mueller’s Russia probe, Barr and Durham had already begun that investigation weeks before.  We hope he’s doing it again with BLM.

The purpose of this OpenCdA post is to help explain my reasons for believing a criminal investigation of BLM activities is warranted. (more…)

On June 12, 2020, Starbucks Coffee announced that store partners would be allowed to wear apparel in support of Black Lives Matter.  The announcement was included in the tweet shown above, and the image is the one that will appear on the tee-shirts Starbucks is sending to its baristas.

OpenCdA wonders if Starbucks’ poobahs have read this article which appeared in the June 3, 2020, DailyMail online article entitled  EXCLUSIVE: ‘We prepare to stop these murders by any means necessary.’ Black Lives Matter leader declares war on police and group is ‘training our people to defend our communities’ in Black Panther style armed ‘patrols’.

This should make for some interesting discussion between the police officers who frequent Starbucks and the baristas who serve them coffee.

For those of you following the takeover of a seven block area of Seattle, Washington’s Capitol Hill district by armed anarchists, here is a link to the anarchists’ demands.    It is captioned “The Demands of the Collective Black Voices At Free Capitol Hill to the Government of Seattle, Washington“.  The area surrendered by the City of Seattle is now known as the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone (CHAZ).  Here is a map link to the CHAZ.

If you are interested in listening to live-streamed radio commentary on the takeover, set your device up for streaming audio to the Todd Herman show from 6 AM until 9 AM Monday-thru-Friday on KTTH AM from Seattle.
