(RepublicanWire.org) – Senator Bill Cassidy repeatedly told Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen during a Senate Finance Committee hearing that President Joe Biden has not been willing to meet with a bipartisan group of senators to address problems with Social Security.

The Republican senator accused Yellen of lying when she said Biden was willing to meet with Republicans to discuss Social Security.

“Why doesn’t the President care?” Cassidy asked.

“He cares very deeply – ” Yellen began to answer.

“Then where is his plan?” Cassidy persisted.

“He stands ready to work with – ” Yellen offered.

“That’s a lie,” Cassidy said.

Yellen later finished saying that Biden stands ready to work with Congress to address future shortfalls in Social Security, which Cassidy dismissed as “empirically” not true.

The exchange was a departure from the decorum usually often upheld in the Senate, and the respect typically afforded to Yellen, a former Federal Reserve chair.

“Accusing witnesses of lying is over the line,” the committee’s Democratic chairman, Ron Wyden, admonished Cassidy.

The senator from Louisiana replied he wasn’t accusing the Treasury secretary of lying and understood she was repeating what she had been told.

Later, another Republican senator, Ron Johnson, of Wisconsin, exhibited impatience with Yellen. Johnson asked Yellen how much the total deficits were over the 10-year period covered in Biden’s budget. When Yellen paused to look at some documents, Johnson quipped, “You don’t know that off the top of your head?”

(RepublicanWire.org) – The latest from Hunter’s laptop shows that his father, President Joe Biden, paid for Hunter’s sexcapades with Russian escorts, and he kept his son afloat with five months of loans totaling $100,000. Hunter needed all that money despite having a salary of more than $40,000 a month from Burisma Holdings, the energy outfit in Ukraine and nexus of the Biden-Burisma influence-peddling scheme.

The laptop has revealed more than Hunter’s habit of spending $600 an hour for sex with prostitutes. It also contained a video of an apparently concerned Hunter wondering whether he harmed one of the exploited women.

What went on between Hunter and the escort we don’t know. We do know that the sex fiend was mighty worried he physically harmed the woman.

“Is anything hurt on you?” Hunter asked the woman:

Anything? I was literally saying I’m sorry that it took so long to give you $10,000,” he can be heard saying. “Do you have any bruise? Anything? Have I ever touched you in a bad way? Ever? Have I asked you every time if I could touch you? Every time.

Sweetheart, look at me. You cannot talk to me that way and say things like that. Because I’m more respectful than anyone you’ve ever met. Are you OK?

“President Joe Biden apparently unwittingly financed his son’s participation in an escort ring tied to Russia, records from a copy of Hunter Biden’s abandoned laptop show,” the Washington Examiner reported:

Hunter Biden spent over $30,000 on escorts, many of whom were linked to “.ru” Russian email addresses and worked with an “exclusive model agency” called UberGFE during a 3 1/2 month period between November 2018 and March 2019.

He managed to do so thanks in part to Joe Biden committing to wiring him a total of $100,000 to help pay his bills from December 2018 through January 2019.

In one instance, Joe Biden wired his son $5,000 while he was actively engaged with an UberGFE escort. In another, texts indicated Hunter Biden convinced his father to wire him $20,000 to finance his stay at a New York City drug rehabilitation program that he never checked into.

“What’s wrong with you?” Hunter told the Washington Examiner shortly after this story was published.

It was also revealed that Hunter had to confide in a woman named Eva that “his accounts were temporarily frozen at one point because his attempted payments to her ‘girls’ with Russian email accounts were too much of a ‘red flag’ for his bank. Eva refers to him as Robert in the messages, which is his birth name.”

As well, Biden senior, who pushed Ukraine to fire a prosecutor who was investigating the company that employed his son, wired $5,000 to the sex-crazed lad “less than three hours before he filmed a dispute with an escort over a $10,000 payment at a cottage in Boston, Massachusetts.”

Hunter Biden requested Eva send one of her escorts to his cottage during the early hours of Jan. 18, 2019. A few hours after the escort arrived, he texted Eva asking how much it would cost for another 8 hours of the escort’s time.

Eva said the total charge for 16 hours would be $9,500. At 5:17 p.m. that day, Eva directed that he wire the funds to a bank account linked to a woman with a Russian email address.

Less than 90 minutes later, at 6:31 p.m., Hunter Biden received an email informing him that “Joseph R Biden Jr.” had sent him $5,000 through Cash App. Joe Biden’s then-assistant Richard Ruffner texted Hunter Biden that same minute informing him he “was only able to do $5,000 because the weekly limit is $7,500.”

(RepublicanWire.org) – Controversies have surrounded the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation. Federal probes have been launched into the foundation over their lack of financial transparency.

Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrisse Cullors is stepping down as executive director over public outcry after it was revealed that she used charity funds to purchase multiple million-dollar mansions while BLM chapters across the nation never received the donations.

Besides splurging on herself, Cullors paid Trap Heals LLC, a company owned by Damon Turner, nearly $970,000 for “creative services” and to help “produce live events.” Turner is the father of Cullor’s child.

The foundation paid more than $840,000 to Cullors Protection LLC, a security firm owned by Patrisse’s brother, Paul Cullors, for providing “security services.”

Shalomyah Bowers, who previously served as deputy executive director of BLM Global Network Foundation, defended contracting Paul Cullors’ security firm because the foundation felt its protection could not be entrusted to former police officers.

The foundation invested $32 million in stocks from the $90 million of donations it received in 2020, which is expected to become an endowment to ensure the foundation’s work continues in the future.

Now Cullors has taken a break from her donation cash-funded lavish lifestyle to blast BLM’s donors, claiming the group is flooded with “white guilt money.”

Cullors made the remarks during MSNBC’s “Into America” podcast posted Monday afternoon.

She was speaking in response to a question from host Trymaine Lee, who had asked if the organization’s “tsunami of flooding” was shocking.

Lee asked Cullors if BLM had guardrails in place to ensure its cash was “being directed in the proper ways.”

“Yes, it was a major shock,” Cullors said on the podcast.

“It was also a lot of like, ‘Oh, wait, I did not see that coming.'”

“You know, contrary to what, you know, has been reported, much of the funding that came in was from individual donors,” Cullors continued.

“That was a lot of white guilt money,” she alleged.

“There’s a lot of white folks being like, ‘We just got to put the money.”

Cullors, however, did not directly answer if guardrails were in place for its spending.

She has maintained they did not misuse its funds.
