Bin Laden wanted to kill Obama because he thought Joe Biden was totally unprepared to be president and would 'plunge the US into a crisis', declassified documents show




Guess you could say bin Laden was ahead of the curve. Here's the kicker. This is back in 2011. 'Sleepy Joe' has deteriorated quite a bit since then. Remember Biden and Paul Ryan at the VP debate? Biden was never brilliant to begin with but he's light years from that now. 


You have to wonder. Joe told Barry not to pull the trigger. So if Barry listened to him and was assassinated it would be Joe's all time biggest gaffe!

Osama bin Laden wanted to assassinate then-President Barack Obama so that the "totally unprepared" Joe Biden would take over as president and plunge the United States "into a crisis," according to documents seized from bin Laden's Pakistan compound when he was killed in May 2011.

 Provided by FOX News

The secretive documents, first reported in 2012 by The Washington Post, outlined a plan to take out Obama and top U.S. military commander David Petraeus as they traveled by plane.

“The reason for concentrating on them is that Obama is the head of infidelity and killing him automatically will make [Vice President] Biden take over the presidency," bin Laden wrote to a top deputy. "Biden is totally unprepared for that post, which will lead the U.S. into a crisis. As for Petraeus, he is the man of the hour ... and killing him would alter the war's path" in Afghanistan.

Bin Laden specifically wanted fellow terrorist Ilyas Kashmiri to shoot down Obama.

“Please ask brother Ilyas to send me the steps he has taken into that work,” bin Laden wrote to the top lieutenant, Atiyah Abd al-Rahman. Kashmiri wouldn't get too far along in the plot, however; he was killed in 2011 in a U.S. drone strike shortly after bin Laden himself was shot to death by Navy SEALs.


Intelligence officials told the Post that bin Laden's plan never progressed past the aspirational stage.

For his part, Biden has sent mixed signals on his role in bin Laden's death, as explained at length in a timeline by The Washington Examiner's Jerry Dunleavy. In late April 2011, Obama gathered together a team that included Biden before making a final decision on whether to strike at bin Laden's suspected compound.

In January 2012, Biden revealed he had opposed to the raid, and claimed that “every single person in that room hedged their bet” except for CIA Director Leon Pancetta, who supported striking the compound.

“Mr. President, my suggestion is, don’t go,” Biden said he told his boss, as reported by The New York Times. "We have to do two more things to see if he's there."

But in 2015, Biden changed his mind and said he had told Obama he "should go."



Obama himself verified Biden's opposition to the plan, telling Mitt Romney in a 2012 presidential debate, “Even some in my own party, including my current vice president, had the same critique as you did."

On CBS’s “60 Minutes" in Oct. 2015, Biden tried to clear up the confusion, and insisted everything he said had been "accurate."

“In order to give the president the leeway he needed, I said, ‘Mr. President, there’s one more thing we can do.’ … One more pass to see if it was bin Laden. I said, ‘You should do that, and there’d still be time to have the raid, but that’s what I would do,” Biden said.


SEAL Team Six ultimately landed at bin Laden's compound in two MH-60 Black Hawks, killed the terror leader and seized a fateful cache of valuable intelligence.

Rep. Pete King rips Mitch McConnell as ‘Marie Antoinette of the Senate’







King appears on FOX occasionally and always talks a great game like he's a staunch Republican. But in reality he's


the 'Pierre Delecto' of the House of Representatives. If you check his voting record on most of the major issues he voted with the Democrats. 


The states McConnell is talking about are states that were already broke before China infected the world with C-19. They're just looking for an excuse to get free money. Many of them have done this to themselves because of their crazy pension programs. The exorbitant pensions in these states are guaranteed come hell or high-water not like the rest of us who have a 401K subject to the up's and down's of the stock market. The problem is these states spent the pension money and now they want to get bailed out. There’s not going to be any desire on the Republican side to bail out state pensions by borrowing money from future generations.

-----------------------





Long Island GOP Rep. Pete King on Wednesday ripped Mitch McConnell as the “Marie Antoinette of the Senate” after the majority leader suggested struggling states go bankrupt amid the coronavirus crisis.

King was reacting to McConnell’s comments on a radio talk show earlier in the day in which the senator dismissed the idea of more federal aid to states, claiming governors “would love to have free money.”

“McConnell’s dismissive remark that States devastated by Coronavirus should go bankrupt rather than get the federal assistance they need and deserve is shameful and indefensible,” King wrote on Twitter.

“To say that it is ‘free money’ to provide funds for cops, firefighters and healthcare workers makes McConnell the Marie Antoinette of the Senate.”

During the appearance on “The Hugh Hewitt Show,” McConnell recommended that the federal government hit the “pause button” before doling out more cash to state and local governments.

“We all have governors regardless of party who would love to have free money,” McConnell said on the broadcast.

McConnell instead said that the states bore some responsibility for their debt due to “pension programs” and said bankruptcy should be the first option.

“I would certainly be in favor of allowing states to use the bankruptcy route,” he said. “It’s saved some cities, and there’s no good reason for it not to be available.”

But McConnell lamented the fact that the nation’s governors would insist on receiving more aid during a pandemic that has killed nearly 48,000 people nationwide.

“My guess is their first choice would be for the federal government to borrow money from future generations to send it down to them now so they don’t have to do that,” he said. “That’s not something I’m going to be in favor of.”

China to give WHO $30 million more after US freezes funds





What a cunning ploy!!! 

They'll get more mileage out of $30 million than Bloomberg got out of a billion.

Like a worm on a hook. They anticipated the Democratic response...


The sad thing? They're so f-ing stupid they don't even know they're being played by the CCP!

Actual tweet:






----------------------------







BEIJING, April 23 — China announced Thursday it will donate another $30 million to the World Health Organization (wonder how much Tedros got) to help in the global fight against the coronavirus pandemic, days after Washington said it would freeze funding.

“China has decided to donate another $30 million in cash to the WHO, in addition to the previous donation of $20 million, to support the global fight against Covid-19 and strengthen developing countries’ health systems,” foreign ministry spokesman Geng Shuang told a regular press briefing.

He added that China’s contribution to the UN agency “reflects the support and trust of the Chinese government and people for the WHO”.

The US, which is the WHO’s biggest contributor, accused the WHO last week of “mismanaging” the Covid-19 crisis, drawing ire from Beijing as both countries spar over the deadly virus.

In announcing the funding freeze last week, US President Donald Trump accused the WHO of covering up the seriousness of the Covid-19 outbreak in China before it spread.

Trump said US taxpayers provided between $400 million and $500 million per year to the WHO, while “in contrast, China contributes roughly $40 million a year and even less”. — AFP

The sequel to Dumb & Dumber




Biden campaign spends tens of thousands on ice cream brand Pelosi had packed in freezer


Joe Biden’s presidential campaign spent nearly $11,000 on gourmet ice cream that is also a favorite of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's. 

The presumptive Democratic presidential nominee’s campaign spent $10,600 on Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams between May 2019 and March 2020. The ice cream was listed as donor gifts, according to Federal Election Committee data





Pelosi has taken a lot of heat since last week when she joined James Corden on his late-night comedy show and showcased her freezer packed with ice cream. Among the selection were pints of Jeni’s Splendid. 

"I don't know what I would've done if ice cream were not invented," she said via video conference from her home.

After the interview, she followed up in a tweet, writing: "We all have found our ways to keep our spirits up during these trying times. Mine just happens to fill up my freezer."

Critics hit back at Pelosi for showing off her hoard of frozen treats while many people suffer financially from stay-at-home orders implemented across the country due to the coronavirus pandemic. 

“Americans are losing their jobs since the virus rocked the economy. Nancy Pelosi blocks funding for people to keep getting paychecks. But she’s got a $24K fridge full of ice cream, so she’s cool,” Trump campaign manager Brad Parscale tweeted Monday alongside an ad from President Trump’s reelection campaign

“Let them eat ice cream,” Pascale wrote in reference to the famous line "let them eat cake," which has been commonly attributed to Marie Antoinette, the former queen of France, and he signed the message as coming from “Nancy Antoinette."
