In a bombshell 1,200-word New York Times op-ed, investigative author Peter Schweizer called for the federal government to investigate Joe and Hunter Biden’s dealings in Ukraine and China after laying out a devastating fact-pattern of transactions.

Schweizer, who serves as the president of the Government Accountability Institute and is a Breitbart senior contributor, revealed that….

In December 2013, Joe and Hunter Biden flew aboard Air Force Two to China; less than two weeks after the trip, Hunter’s firm, Rosemont Seneca Partners, which he founded with two other businessmen in June 2013, finalized a deal to open a fund, BHR Partners, whose largest shareholder is the government-run Bank of China, even though he had scant background in private equity.(Representatives of the fund claim that the timing of the deal and the Bidens’ trip to China was coincidental). Thus far, the firm has invested about $2.1 billion, according to its website.
…

With the Russian invasion of Crimea in 2014, Joe Biden became point person in Ukraine as well. That same year, Hunter Biden landed a board position with the Ukrainian energy giant Burisma Holdings. Despite having no background in energy or Ukraine, the vice president’s son was paid as much as $50,000 a month, according to financial records. (He left the board in early 2019).
…

The Bidens are hardly alone. President Trump’s transportation secretary, Elaine Chao, and her husband, Senator Mitch McConnell, are being accused of having profited from their commercial ties to Beijing. In 2004, the two had a net worth of about $3.1 million, according to public disclosures. Three years later, the range was $3.1 million to $12.7 million. The next year, their net worth rocketed to $7.3 million to $33.1 million.

Appearing Tuesday on PBS NewsHour, failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton defended former Vice President Joe Biden and his son, Hunter Biden, against allegations of corruption in China and Ukraine, claiming there is “no evidence” that the pair “did anything wrong.”

“There is absolutely no evidence, and there will not be any evidence, that Joe Biden did anything wrong. Enough with these wild unfounded conspiracy theories…”

BALTIMORE, Md. (WBFF) — The fall cleanup is right around the corner and this year Mayor Jack Young is turning it into a competition.

“The idea is simple, compete against your neighbors and other communities to see who can collect the most trash,” he said.

To sign up for the Cleanup Cup you have to create a team and call 3-1-1.

From there you can use your service request number to register online.

Then on cleanup day all you have to do is record the number of bags of trash or bulk items your team collects, record them on your tally form and snap a picture.

Bridgeville- The Delaware State Police Collision Reconstruction Unit is investigating a fatal crash involving a single vehicle that occurred last evening.

The incident occurred on October 9, 2019 at approximately 6:40 p.m., when a 2018 Dodge Caravan was traveling southbound on Sussex Highway (US 13), north of Newton Road (US 404). For unknown reasons, the operator of the Caravan crossed over the median and both northbound lanes of US 13, before exiting the edge of the roadway. The Caravan continued off the roadway until the front end ultimately struck a standing tree.

The operator, identified as 62-year-old Keith B .Kennedy, of Laurel, DE was properly restrained and transported to the Nanticoke Memorial Hospital where he later succumbed to his injuries.

The crash continues to remain under investigation by the Delaware State Police Collision Reconstruction Unit.

President Donald Trump is “absolutely justified” in saying he won’t cooperate with the House Democrats’ impeachment inquiry, and in ordering the U.S. ambassador to the European Union to stay away from a House deposition about the Ukrainian controversy, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich said Wednesday.

“What (House Speaker Nancy) Pelosi and company are doing is an absurdity,” Gingrich told Fox News’ “Fox and Friends,” complaining Democrats are staging a one-sided attack on the president. “Everybody in Watergate appeared in the open. Both sides got to cross-examine them. The same thing happened when we impeached (Bill) Clinton in the House in 1998. Remember, we had a report from independent counsel that used the word guilty on 11 different counts.”

Meanwhile, former special counsel Robert Mueller never used the word guilty once, which frustrated Democrats, said Gingrich.

In cities and counties across America, local politicians have in recent months begun proposing comprehensive race-based policies such as redrawing school boundaries to dismantle schools with too many white or Asian students.

They have pushed for radical changes that have roiled even liberal-leaning constituents. The justification on all of their lips is oddly similar: “Equity.” The same buzzwords appear again and again.

“School board meetings suddenly became like Mad Libs. They started repeating certain phrases, jamming them into every sentence. It was very odd,” Margaret McCreary, a Fairfax County, Virginia, parent who eventually learned that the board members were using the “equity” language to push a proposal that could move her children out of their schools, told the Daily Caller News Foundation.

Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, asked the Department of Justice and FBI on Tuesday for an update on the criminal referrals he submitted against witnesses who made potentially false accusations of sexual misconduct against Justice Brett Kavanaugh.

The Senate Judiciary Committee, when Grassley was chairman in 2018, asked the Justice Department to pursue criminal investigations of four individuals following Kavanaugh’s contentious confirmation to the Supreme Court that fall.

“When individuals intentionally mislead the committee, they divert important committee resources during time sensitive investigations and materially impede its work,” Grassley wrote in a letter to Attorney General William Barr and FBI Director Christopher Wray. “Such acts are not only unfair; they are potentially illegal. It is illegal to make materially false, fictitious, or fraudulent statements to congressional investigators. It is illegal to obstruct committee investigations.”

The senator asked for a response to his letter by Oct. 21.
