More Ukrainian Politicians Arrested

Biden Family financial dealings leave a trail of destruction

More Ukrainian Politicians Arrested

The most corrupt state in Europe announced three indictments this week for…well corruption.  Ukraine prosecutors announced the charges against three men who allegedly assisted Donald Trump in his quest to uncover Biden Family corruption prior to the 2020 election. 

The three men are all political figures in Ukraine.  Kostiantyn Kulyk is a former prosecutor who worked under former Ukrainian Prosecutor General Yuriy Lutsenko.  Oleksandr Dubinsky is a current member of Ukraine’s Parliament.  Andriy Derkach is a former member of Parliament who had publicly advocated for an investigation in Ukraine into Hunter Biden.  The three are accused of being Russian agents intent on undermining the Biden presidential campaign.  Dubinsky and Derkach have met personally with Rudy Giuliani in reference to Biden corruption.

Specifically, the charges stem from actions in 2019 that allegedly benefited the Trump campaign at the direction of Vladimir Putin.  The trio were allegedly interfering with American elections and spying for Russia in exchange for $10 million in cash.  Only Dubinsky was arrested; the other two had fled Ukraine in 2022 on the heels of the Russian invasion.  Their whereabouts appear to be unknown. 

Who knows if any of this is true.  Were these three corrupt?  Perhaps, but that appears to be the norm in Ukraine.  We will be waiting with bated breath for indictments for the American aid money that seems to be disappearing at an alarming rate.

Here is what we do know.  The Biden family was getting a lot of money from Ukraine and there are serious accusations of corruption, including involving Joe himself.  Donald Trump asked Zelensky and corrupt Ukrainian prosecutors to continue to investigate Biden financial dealings. And now Zelensky is beholden to the Biden Administration to ensure the very existence of the country. 

All these circumstances are problematic and indicative of corruption.  If your elected officials are engaged in this type of self-interested behavior in foreign countries, that is not a good sign for the legitimacy of government.  Our government.

One thing is for sure.  Ukraine is corrupt.  Zelensky and his opponents were both likely making criminal cases for political and perhaps financial reasons.

But not here.  Political prosecutions don’t happen in the good ol’ US of A.  Our politicians are above that type of scandalous behavior, right?

Eric Adams and the DOJ

Is Eric Adams guilty of something?  Our kneejerk reaction is – probably.  Just like Donald Trump is probably guilty of mishandling documents.  We think most political campaigns violate laws and most of the time only egregious violations are looked at (sometimes).  But that does not mean the DOJ is not corrupt. 

The timing of the Briana Suggs search warrant cannot be a coincidence.  No way that they hit that door hours before Adams’s meeting with Biden by mistake.  There may be a case-related reason, like they wanted to capture a dirty phone call when Adams was not available in person.  But most likely it was to send a message that Biden doesn’t appreciate intra-party dissent.  The fact that they grabbed the Mayor on a public street outside an event and executed a search warrant to confiscate his phones reinforces this message.   

If the case was not a political hit, why does The NY Times have a pipeline directly to the case.  The blow-by-blow progress of the case is being leaked directly to the paper of record.   We worked directly with the FBI for several years and know firsthand that they treat the contents of all their cases with the utmost secrecy.  If a member of the NYPD mishandled FBI case documents, they would lose their Top-Secret clearance immediately.  An intentional leak might be prosecuted in federal court.

But there are no questions as to why the Mayor’s case was leaked.  That is different.  It was an authorized leak from higher ups in the DOJ.  News agencies don’t ask when it benefits them, and the FBI doesn’t investigate if they wanted information leaked. 

Keep that in mind the next time Merrick Garland or Christopher Wray testifies in front of Congress.  They use the same canned responses.  “Ongoing investigation.”  “That’s classified.”  “We don’t discuss open cases.”  Very convenient when they don’t want the American people to know what they are doing.

After all: We only pay their salaries.   

If It’s Good Enough for Pooh, It’s Good Enough for You.

San Francisco went through a remarkable transformation this week.  All the blight, the homeless, the skells, the filth, it all just disappeared.  All the insane progressive laws that prevented the citizens of San Francisco from enjoying their city didn’t matter this week. 

What was the big occasion? A communist dictator was coming to visit The City by the Bay.  A dictator who bears a distinct resemblance to Winnie the Pooh.  None other than Xi Jinping. 

It would be a bad look for the Chinese strongman to be accosted by a gaggle of homeless panhandlers, or worse yet stepping in a San Francisco treat (the human feces that can be found on many sidewalks). 

So, all the oppressed, the undesirables, the underprivileged, and the mentally ill in desperate need of help have been taken elsewhere.  We are not sure where they were taken, but the process likely involved coercion, bribes, and a lot of money. 

But for the citizens of San Francisco, normal living conditions will surely be short lived.  The chaos and non-existent quality-of-life enforcement will return.  The streets will once again be filthy and vagrancy will again have to be accepted. 

Funny that when a liberal city wants to look good… they suddenly morph into a conservative city. 

Not so funny if you live there, however.

Subway Assaults

Three more cops were assaulted in the transit system in the Bronx this week.  The subway chaos is a lead news story at least three times a week.  Only a small percentage of crime occurs in the subway, but it is always newsworthy.  And for good reason.  On the subway there is nowhere to escape.  You can’t cross the street to avoid a deranged individual.  There is no way to avoid criminal activity.  People on their way to work sometimes can’t evade someone who wants to rob them or push them onto the tracks.

Even cops have been victimized in recent days.  An NYPD Lieutenant was viciously beaten this weekend at the East 238^th Street Station in the Bronx.  He asked two perps to get off the train after they were fighting with another group.  They ganged up on the Lieutenant, causing injuries that required hospitalization.

And on Monday, two cops at the Freeman Street Station, also in the Bronx were assaulted.  They had the temerity to ask two perps to put out cigarettes.

We have little confidence that the Bronx DA will seek justice for these injured officers.  We have seen firsthand how that office treats victims, particularly New York’s Finest. “The fullest extent of the law” does not exist in the borough.  Cops can’t get a fair shake, and neither can you. 

The subways are the lifeblood of New York.  Suffice it to say, we’re experiencing a serious hardening of the arteries. 

Maybe we can get President Xi to visit?  That might suddenly clear things up….
