Biden Used Unsecure, Fake Email for Sensitive Security Briefings.

Newly released emails reveal that during his tenure as vice president, Joe Biden received sensitive communications through private email accounts created under fictitious identities. The emails include discussions on foreign policy with his national security adviser, schedules of meetings with Cabinet secretaries, and a summary of at least one intelligence briefing to then-President Barack Obama.

The National Archives released the documents over the Memorial Day holiday weekend. They were made public as part of a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit filed by the Southeastern Legal Foundation on behalf of Just the News, targeting emails sent or received by Biden using his email account “robinware456@gmail.com.”

While the emails did not contain classification markings, they included sensitive information transmitted over an insecure Google email account, presenting potential risks from foreign powers or hostile spy agencies. The batch primarily covers communications from 2012. Under federal guidelines, employees may use private email accounts for government-related communications only if they forward them to their official email for record-keeping. In 2017, the Trump administration faced criticism for allegedly violating this rule.

To date, Biden has not explained why he used private email accounts, and there is no indication that the emails were forwarded to secure government servers. The White House has not addressed Biden’s use of pseudonyms. Ironically, Biden was vice president when President Obama introduced a memorandum on transparency and open government.

BIN LADEN RAID EMAIL.

According to the Archives, it holds tens of thousands of emails from three Biden pseudonym accounts used during his vice presidency. One email indicated friction between Obama and Biden over the raid that killed terrorist leader Osama bin Laden, which Biden had opposed.

“Transcripts look great. I’ve got your back on the other thing,” senior White House adviser Antony Blinken wrote to Biden on October 23, 2012.

Another email from Blinken in August 2012, during tensions in the Middle East, included observations about the Mosul region.

“Lots of oil though, so could become a flashpoint,” Blinken noted.

‘Khallas!’ Arab American Leaders Declare Blinken Meeting a Failure.

A lengthy Friday night meeting between Joe Biden‘s Secretary of State Anthony Blinken and Arab American leaders proved less than productive for the 81-year-old Democrat incumbent’s efforts to shore up the critical voter demographic. The representatives from the Arab American community, a critical voter block in the presidential election battleground state of Michigan, ended with the community leaders expressing their continued dissatisfaction with the Biden government’s handling of U.S.-Israel policy.

Warren David, president of Arab America — a national media organization covering the Arab world — expressed the community’s frustration, stating there is little the Biden government could do to mend its deteriorating relationship with Arab Americans. “In Arabic, we say ‘khallas,'” David said in a recent interview with NOTUS. “Khallas” roughly translates to “finished, enough” or “done.” David attended the meeting alongside nearly a dozen representatives from six Arab American organizations.

ARAB AMERICAN AGENDA.

The leaders presented Blinken with their long-standing demands, collectively called the “Arab American Agenda.” These include an immediate ceasefire, the return of all hostages, a complete Israeli military withdrawal from Gaza, and unimpeded humanitarian assistance to Palestinians. The community has championed these points for months amid continued U.S. support for Israel’s military actions against the Hamas terrorist group.

Despite the meeting extending beyond its planned 45 minutes, participants left feeling their concerns were inadequately addressed. “He said, ‘Thank you, I understand where you’re coming from,'” David said of the meeting with Blinken. He added: “He just kind of left it at, he will, you know, take into consideration what we said.”

The Biden campaign has scrambled to shore up support among Arab and Muslim American voters in Michigan before November’s presidential election. The critical voting bloc, in part, turned out against the Democrat incumbent during the state’s primary election, setting off alarm bells among national Democrats.

UK Foreign Sec David Cameron DENIED Meeting with Speaker Johnson to Push Ukraine Aid.

Lord David Cameron, the British Foreign Secretary and former Prime Minister, did not meet Speaker Mike Johnson during a U.S. trip aimed at lobbying Congress to authorize more money for Ukraine.

The China-linked Briton, who recently returned to high office after his premiership was cut short by the Brexit referendum — which he lost — met with Donald Trump and Secretary of State Antony Blinken. He did not meet with Speaker Johnson, however, despite the Republican being the key player in whether or not a Senate bill authorizing tens of billions in further Ukraine aid can move forward.

Speaking alongside Secretary Blinken, Lord Cameron asserted, “We know, if we provide Ukrainians the support they deserve, they can win this war.”

Ahead of his trip, Cameron argued Republicans should approve more funding for Ukraine to prove “that borders matter, that aggression doesn’t pay, and that countries like Ukraine are free to choose their own future.”

It was a controversial stance for the former Prime Minister, who, along with Barack Obama, was a driving force in the NATO-led intervention in Libya in 2011, which turned the country into a failed state and platform for illegal immigration to Europe.

He also opposed Britain taking full control of its borders during the Brexit referendum in 2016, preferring that the country remain party to the European Union’s quasi-open borders Free Movement migration regime.

Cameron alienated many America First Republicans in February when he wrote an op-ed comparing politicians who do not support open-ended financial support for Ukraine to Adolf Hitler’s appeasers.

REVEALED: Biden Bragged to Special Counsel About ‘Real Advantage’ of China-Funded Penn Job – ‘They Gave Me Money.’

The transcript of Joe Biden’s October 2023 interview with Special Counsel Robert Hur reveals he boasted about the “real advantage” he gained after taking a job at the University of Pennsylvania’s Penn Biden Center, which has been funded by a vast number of Chinese donors.

“[T]he real advantage I had in the Penn job was they gave me money to hire staff,” Biden told Hur, emphasizing that this Penn money even funded a salary for the “first-rate” Antony Blinken, who is now his Secretary of State.

Biden added that his focus at the Penn Biden Center was “mainly to on foreign policy [sic].” This admission is likely to raise alarm bells in some quarters, as donations to the University of Pennsylvania from China increased over threefold after it began publicizing the Penn Biden Center in February 2017.

Of $61 million donated to the university by Chinese individuals and entities from 2017 to 2020, around $22 million was sourced anonymously, raising further concerns about potential influence peddling.

The House of Representatives Committee on Oversight and Accountability has stressed that “[n]ot only were these donations made while President Biden explored a potential run for president and launched his campaign, but also as his family and associates pursued lucrative financial projects with partners in China.”

“The American people deserve to know whether the Chinese Communist Party, through Chinese companies, influenced potential Biden Administration policies with large, anonymous donations to UPenn and the Penn Biden Center,” the Committee wrote in 2023.

Jack Montgomery contributed to this report.

Biden-Backed NGO Supplies Corporates With Cheap Illegal Migrant Labor.

US corporations are taking advantage of a federal loophole that allows illegal immigrants to acquire jobs when they claim refugee status. The loophole is being used by the non-governmental organization Tent Partnership for Refugees, which is aligned with more than 400 multinational corporations committed to hiring refugees. These corporations range from RedRoof Inn, Royal Farms, and Shopify to Delta Airlines, DoorDash, Etsy, and Bloomberg.

Tent Partnership for Refugees has tremendous influence within the Biden government. In December of 2022, Secretary of State Antony Blinken signed a memorandum with the non-governmental organization aimed at broadening economic opportunities for refugees within the private sector. The move, critics argue, further intertwined the interests of US corporations and progressive open-border advocates.

The State Department policy decision is primarily used to facilitate sourcing cheap immigrant labor for large corporations. Recently, Tyson Foods, Inc. announced it is planning to hire tens of thousands of migrants via Tent Partnership, augmenting its existing 42,000 migrant workforce out of a total of 120,000 in the US.

Garrett Dolan, who spearheads Tyson’s initiative to dismantle employment obstacles such as immigration status, revealed that many new recruits are projected to be refugees and immigrants. “We’re recognizing there’s not a lot of people that are going to be working labor-manufacturing jobs that are American,” Dolan said in a statement announcing the hiring move.

The National Pulse has previously reported that most US job gains under President Joe Biden have been fueled by immigrant labor. At the same time, native-born employment numbers continue to lag behind pre-pandemic levels.

Trump Declared Houthis a ‘Terror Org’, But Biden & ‘the Adults’ Undid It ‘As Priority’.

Just days after taking the oath of office, President Joe Biden directed his government to delist Yemen’s Houthi rebels as a “Foreign Terrorist Organization” (FTO). On January 28, 2021 — just eight days after Biden’s bizarre inauguration —  Secretary of State Antony Blinken was asked during a press conference which policies enacted by President Trump were a priority for the State Department to reverse. He responded that reversing the terrorist designation and lifting sanctions on the Iranian-backed Houthis was “the priority in my book.”

The Biden government argued that the terrorist designation and sanctions prevented humanitarian aid from reaching Yemeni civilians — roughly 80 percent of the country’s population lives in territory controlled by the Houthi rebels. Reversing the terror designation was also a decision taken to make a news splash and distinguish their foreign policy from Biden’s predecessor.

Former President Donald Trump had signed the designation declaring the Houthis a “Foreign Terrorist Organization” on January 11, 2021 — just ten days before Biden took office — and the issue still had some legs in the news cycle.

By January 25, 2021, the Biden government had put into effect a temporary suspension of sanctions on the Houthis, and on February 5 of that year, they announced that the terror designation had been officially revoked — although the official announcement was not made public until February 12. Almost immediately, the Houthi rebels renewed hostilities against Saudi Arabia and launched attacks against Yemeni civilians in territory under the control of the country’s internationally recognized government.

The Biden White House communications team was able to head off any bad press in the immediate fallout from revoking the terrorist designation by both stonewalling and lying to an already complacent media, and by hamstringing Congress through an Obama-era tactic of mixing classified and non-classified information — making it difficult for lawmakers to discuss White House actions publicly.

Trump responded to Biden’s latest foreign policy flub early Friday, stating: “So, let me get this straight. We’re dropping bombs all over the Middle East, AGAIN (where I defeated ISIS!), and our Secretary of Defence, who just went missing for five days, is running the war from his laptop in a hospital room. Remember, this is the same gang that “surrendered” in Afghanistan, where no one was held accountable or FIRED. It was the most embarrassing “moment” in the history of the United States. Now we have wars in Ukraine, Israel, and Yemen, but no “war” on our Southern Border. Oh, that makes a lot of sense. Crooked Joe Biden is the worst President in the history of the United States!”

Migrant Caravan Could Reach 15,000 Before Reaching U.S. Border in 2024.

The biggest migrant caravan in a year is currently marching on the United States, with between 6,000 and 10,000 would-be border crossers setting out from Tapachula, in southern Mexico, this past Sunday.

Reported to primarily hail from Cuba, Haiti, and Honduras, the migrants are accompanied and abetted by anti-borders activists such as Luis Garcia Villagran, quoted as saying the caravan could swell to 15,000 by the time it reaches the U.S. southern border, at its current pace, by spring 2024.

Secretary of State Antony Blinken is traveling to Mexico to meet President Andrés Manuel López Obrador on Wednesday, where he will notionally plead for help in ameliorating the border crisis, which has seen crossings top 10,000 a day in recent weeks. He is being accompanied by Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, who has often appeared to be on the cusp of being impeached over the crisis. In November, he escaped impeachment in a 209-201 vote, with eight Republicans joining with the Democrats to refer the matter to committee.

“[B]order agents are more than willing to sacrifice holidays to protect our fellow Americans, but what we are doing is not enforcing our laws, because of bad policy, our government is allowing cartels to control our border,” lamented the National Border Patrol Council in a statement.

‘A Mistake, Not Criminal’ – Feds Leak Biden Classified Docs Findings to ABC.

An investigation into Joe Biden’s classified documents is apparently casting a “wide net” and going all the way back to the President’s time as a Senator – but sources leaking to ABC have implied the investigation will end sympathetically, with Biden’s improper retention of sensitive material being classed as “more likely a mistake than a criminal act.”

Special Counsel Robert Hur was appointed to investigate the situation after classified documents were found in boxes near the 46th President’s Corvette, having also previously been found at his office in the Penn Biden Center.

Leaks to ABC News suggest Blinken and other senior figures have been interviewed by Hur’s team, with the investigation said to have “grown into a sprawling examination of Obama-era security protocols and internal White House processes,” indicating Hur’s report is going to focus on institutional rather than personal failings.

The soft-touch approach to Biden compared to Trump –  who has been aggressively pursued and prosecuted by Special Counsel Jack Smith for allegedly mishandling classified documents after leaving the White House – comes in spite of the fact that Trump had enjoyed full declassifying authority as President of the United States. Biden, who took documents as a Senator and later as Vice President, had no such authority.

BREAKING: Biden Releases Iranian Agents AND $6bn to Islamic Republic on 9/11.

The United States has agreed to swap prisoners with the Islamic Republic of Iran as well as releasing $6 billion in previously frozen funds. A blanket waiver, issued by President Joe Biden’s State Department on September 11th, will allow international banks in South Korea to transfer $6 billion to Qatar’s central bank for Iran’s use without triggering U.S. sanctions. Congress was informed of the deal on Monday, despite Secretary of State Antony Blinken reportedly having signed off on the agreement last week.

The five Iranian prisoners held by the U.S. to be swapped are reported to be: Mehrdad Moein Ansari, Kambiz Attar Kashani, Reza Sarhangpour Kafrani, Amin Hassanzadeh, Kaveh Afrasiabi.

Kambiz Attar Kashani and Reza Sarhangpour Kafrani were imprisoned “…for conspiring to illegally export U.S. goods and technology to end users in Iran…” in violation of U.S. sanctions according to the Department of Justice. Kaveh Afrasiabi was arrested for acting as an unregistered foreign agent for Iran, having lobbied both Congress and the State Department for policies favorable to the Islamic Republic. Michigan resident Amin Hasanzadeh was imprisoned for stealing a U.S. company’s trade secrets and conspiring to share them with the Iranian military through his brother who still resides in Iran. Mehrdad Ansari was also imprisoned over a scheme to circumvent U.S. sanctions.

At this time it is unclear what, or who, the U.S. will receive from the Islamic Republic of Iran as part of the agreement.

Another $250M for Ukraine, Just $95M for Hawaii.

Joe Biden’s government has announced a new $250 million package of military aid to Ukraine, while also suggesting Hawaii gets $95 million for infrastructure rebuilding.

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said the new, foreign assistance includes HIMARS and artillery rounds, and that is intended to support Ukraine by providing battlefield capabilities such as missiles for air defense, mine-clearing equipment, anti-armor systems, and small arms ammunition.

The news comes as multiple investigations are launched into mass fraud and corruption using Western money and resources in the former Soviet state.

Concerns have also been raised about the potential for increased tensions and the possibility of unnecessary escalation as Western support for the Ukrainian war machine increases. An American drone has already been downed over the Black Sea following a collision with a Russian warplane, and a British surveillance aircraft and its human crew were very nearly shot down by the Russians following a miscommunication.

In an even more serious incident, a missile landed in Przewodów, Poland and killed two civilians. Ukraine attempted to blame the incident on Russia, but it later turned out the NATO member has been hit bit by a Ukrainian missile.

The longer the war in Ukraine continues with Western involvement, the more likely it is that such incidents could escalate into direct clashes between NATO and Russian forces.
