One of the distinguishing features of Trump’s presidency was an aggressive press corps that felt obligated to call out Trump’s ‘lies’ — so why won’t they apply this same standard to Biden who is inarguably a world-class liar?
A government watchdog group learned through a Freedom of Information Act request last summer that the National Archives and Records Administration was in possession of over 5,000 emails and electronic records involving fake names President Joe Biden appears to have operated under while wheeling and dealing during his time as vice president.
The primary fake names Biden reportedly used were Robin Ware, Robert L. Peters, and JRB Ware.
Despite admitting in a June 24, 2022, letter that documents exist involving accounts in these names in the Biden vice presidential records, NARA “has dragged its feet and still has not produced a single email,” according to the Georgia-based Southeastern Legal Foundation.
In light of the National Archives’ apparent failure to produce the records in a timely fashion, the SLF filed a federal lawsuit Monday.
The watchdog group’s efforts are being redoubled by the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability, whose chairman, Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.), issued a demand to the NARA on Aug. 17 that it must produce the records no later than Aug. 31. Comer indicated in his Aug. 17 letter that the committee has confirmed “Robert L. Peters” to have been one of Biden’s pseudonyms. The New York Post noted in 2021 that Hunter Biden’s laptop revealed the 80-year-old Democrat also corresponded under the aliases “Robin Ware” and “JRB Ware” on emails that mixed official and family business.
BREAK….
For instance, in 2016, John Flynn, then working in the Office of the Vice President, sent Joe Biden his daily schedule to the Robert Peters account, copying Hunter Biden as well.
In a June 2014 email to the Robin Ware email account, Hunter Biden lobbied his dad to consider a friend for a legal role in the Obama administration. “Dad” responded from the Ware account within an hour of receiving Hunter’s message, reported the Post.
The watchdog group indicated that it was told NARA was unable to make the emails public until Jan. 20, 2022, having not taken custody of Biden’s vice presidential records until January 2017.
The SFL waited until June 9, 2022, before filing another FOIA request. This time, the group struck gold.
Stephannie Oriabure, director of the Archival Operations Division, responded later that month, noting that a search of the Biden vice presidential records turned up approximately 5,138 email messages, 25 electronic files, and 200 pages of “potentially responsive records.”
Despite the admission that these records exist, the SFL claimed that the NARA has yet to produce any of the records, having been told in a June 16 email that the request has yet to be processed and is 29th in line to be dealt with.
Kimberly Hermann, general counsel for the SFL, said in a statement, “All too often, public officials abuse their power by using it for their personal or political benefit. When they do, many seek to hide it. The only way to preserve governmental integrity is for NARA to release Biden’s nearly 5,400 emails to SLF and thus the public. The American public deserves to know what is in them.”
Lawsuit and congressional countdown
The SFL filed a federal lawsuit against the NARA Monday, stressing that more than “14 months have elapsed since Defendant received SLF’s FOIA request. Defendant has verified that approximately 5,138 responsive records exist, yet Defendant has failed to produce even a single document in response. … Accordingly, SLF files this lawsuit to compel Defendant to comply with FOIA.”
The suit alleges that the NARA has “failed to meet the statutory requirement to make the records promptly available” and is therefore in violation of FOIA.
Braden Boucek, SLF litigation director, stated, “Public transparency is the most vital check the citizens have for holding our political class accountable. After over a year of trying to work with NARA, its continued unreasonable delays have forced SLF to file this lawsuit.”
Extra to the watchdog’s legal action, the House Oversight Committee is leaning on the NARA to act.
Comer has stressed that the existence of emails penned by Biden under these aliases demonstrate that his 2019 claim that he erected “an absolute wall between the personal and private, and the government” was false.
Chairman Comer noted the urgency of the NARA’s turnaround regarding the documents, intimating that the documents might shed some light on whether “foreign nationals have sought access and influence by engaging in lucrative business relationships with high-profile political figures’ immediate family members, including members of the Biden family.”
The National Archives has until Thursday to comply with the congressional demand. Should the agency fail to do so, a federal court may yet force its hand in the SLF case.
Common Sense – Sweden placed strict limitations on medical gender-affirming intervention for minors after a 14-year-old girl was found to have osteoporosis + spinal fractures from puberty blockers The investigation into the case concluded that “the risks of anti-puberty and hormone treatment for those under 18 currently outweigh the possible benefits.” America is one of the only countries allowing full-fledged medical experimentation on children for gender “affirmation.”
I REFUSE ON MORAL GROUNDS TO BE STUPID ENOUGH TO BE CONSIDERED A “GOOD AMERICAN” TODAY!
I REFUSE TO BE AN IDIOT IN ORDER TO BE CONSIDERED A “GOOD AMERICAN” TODAY!
I REFUSE TO BE A MORON IN ORDER TO BE CONSIDERED A “GOOD AMERICAN” TODAY!
So I guess that must make me a TRAITOR to what used to be my country, before one had to be a ******* IDIOTIC MORON to be considered a good citizen!
On another note, according to Reuters today, the loser US Secretary of State Antony Blinken arrived in Kyiv in a gesture of support as Ukraine’s counteroffensive against Russian forces grinds into its fourth month with only small gains, as if Tony Blinken, with his record of bad judgments and ****-ups would have a clue as to what is going on over there.
The BOZO Blinken figures prominently in a Huffington Post article titled “How to Lose to the Islamic State: Obama Administration Considers Deploying Troops to Iraq, Focusing on Assad in Syria” by Doug Bandow, Senior Fellow, the Cato Institute on 11/30/2014, which article starts as follows with respect to the A-HOLE actions of then-president Hussein Obama, to wit:
In 2009 President Barack Obama received the Nobel Peace Prize before doing much of anything.
Since then he has initiated two wars, first in Libya and now in Iraq and Syria, and escalated another, in Afghanistan.
Alas, he has demonstrated that it is bad to start wars unnecessarily, but even worse to wage wars foolishly.
The administration appears to have lost its collective mind.

Keeping in mind that the administration at that time which indeed did appear to have lost its collective mind, assuming it ever had one to start, included the short-sighted and shallow-thinking vice president Joseph Robinette Biden, Junior, aka THE BIG GUY, THE TEFLON DON, Robin Ware, Robert L. Peters, Celtic, or JRB Ware.
Going back to that article, it continues as follows, to wit:
By one count U.S. strikes have killed 464 Islamic State personnel and 57 fighters for Jabhat al-Nusra, an al-Qaeda affiliate.
However, Washington’s intervention helped treble the estimated number of ISIL fighters to as many as 30,000 just a couple weeks into Obama’s war.
Moderate Syrian rebels, most notably the Harakat al-Hazm and Syrian Revolutionary Front, favored by the administration have been routed in that country’s north.
Many fighters defected or fled while abandoning their heavy weapons, including TOW anti-tank missiles and BM-21 Grad rockets, provided by Washington.
Deputy National Security Adviser Tony Blinken essentially admitted failure: “Unfortunately, every day there is going to be in some part of Iraq or some part of Syria, a community that is under siege, under attack, and is looking for help.”
“We can’t be every place, every time.”

And now the witless fool, a MAJOR QUALIFICATION to be a Democrat cabinet member, has us in Ukraine, repeating his failed experiments, and not surprisingly, the abject loser Blinken is expected to announce over $1 billion of new US funding for the country ON OUR DIME.
