The FBI-Tainted Whitmer 'Kidnap Plot' You've Heard Next to Nothing About

By: Julie Kelly

January 3, 2024

In RealClearInvestigations, Julie Kelly reports how a much-hyped, supposedly
white-supremacist “plot” to kidnap Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan
has been exposed as more like a broad conspiracy by law enforcement to entrap
Americans with unpopular political views. She writes:

 * Details revealed during largely successful appeals by defendants –
   proceedings mostly ignored by national media -- make the operation sound like
   something out of a Hollywood script.

 * The plot line features secretive cash payouts; drug parties; a wife-beating
   FBI investigator; a career felon turned FBI asset and later accused as a
   “double agent” – all wrapped up with a dramatic FBI takedown scene at the
   end.

 * Public defenders have identified at least 12 FBI informants and three
   undercover FBI agents managed by numerous field offices.

 * The reported plot mastermind was not, as originally portrayed by prosecutors,
   a bigoted extremist, but a homeless man, dubbed “Captain Autism,” living in
   the dilapidated basement of a vacuum repair shop with no running water or
   toilet.

 * FBI Informants met with their targets to ponder how to blow up a bridge
   outside Whitmer’s summer cottage; kill her security detail; take her to a
   nearby boat launch; and perhaps bring her across Lake Michigan to Wisconsin
   for a “citizen’s trial” over her COVID-19 lockdowns.

 * A 2020 protest at the Michigan state Capitol in Lansing appeared to presage
   FBI tactics during the Jan. 6 Capitol siege, with similar optics. The head of
   the Detroit FBI field office was promoted to run the Washington, D.C., FBI
   field office three months before Jan. 6.

Leprosy, Polio, Malaria, TB, Measles … and Massive Unscreened Illegal
Immigration

By: James Varney

December 27, 2023

In RealClearInvestigations, James Varney examines the distinct possibility that
new arrivals among the current historic flow of illegal immigrants into the U.S.
may have brought polio, leprosy, malaria and other rare diseases from their home
countries:

 * The Biden administration, an aggressive and vocal promoter of often mandatory
   COVID-19 vaccination, is offering little public comment now on the connection
   between disease and the porous borders with which its immigration policy has
   become widely identified.

 * Neither the CDC nor the Department of Homeland Security would discuss the
   issue with RealClearInvestigations, although DHS has acknowledged it does not
   have vaccination records for the millions who have entered the U.S. since
   2021.

 * Florida’s huge increase in illegals has been tied to cases of leprosy and
   malaria in the Sunshine State.

 * New York City’s Health Commissioner warned that at least half of the migrants
   who have poured into the city – at least 100,000 since the spring of 2022 --
   had not been vaccinated from polio.

 * Last year, New York State recorded its first polio case in the U.S. since
   2013, with the victim described only as an “unvaccinated man.” Also, in 2022,
   poliovirus was found in the water supply of four New York counties, including
   Long Island, and New York City. Another positive test result was recorded in
   Rockland County this year, according to the state.

 * Polio remains endemic in two countries, Afghanistan and Pakistan. Afghanistan
   is where President Biden’s chaotic withdrawal in 2021 resulted in 90,000
   Afghans being let into the U.S.

How Tax-Exempt Nonprofits Skirt U.S. Law to Turn Out the Democrat Base in
Elections

By: Steve Miller

December 12, 2023

In RealClearInvestigations, Steve Miller reports on ways progressives have
surpassed Republicans in harnessing the power of putatively nonpartisan
nonprofits that push legal boundaries to win elections:

 * More than 150 progressive nonprofits spent $1.35 billion on political
   activities in 2021 and 2022, according to data compiled by Restoration of
   America, a conservative political action committee.

 * Although there are no readily available estimates of comparable conservative
   efforts, observers say they are overmatched.

 * The progressive nonprofits perform a lot of the voter mobilization work the
   Democratic Party once did itself.

 * The groups work around legal restrictions on nonprofits by selectively
   engaging in “nonpartisan” efforts in areas with reliably Democratic
   constituencies, including boosting voter education and participation.

 * Important players this cycle are the Voter Participation Center and its
   partner group, the Center for Voter Information.

 * Both have the stated mission of encouraging people in specified demographics
   to vote: “young people, people of color and unmarried women.” All three
   groups are part of the Democratic Party’s base.

 * Vote.org describes itself as the largest “nonpartisan voting registration and
   get-out-the-vote (GOTV) technology platform in America,” while its
   correspondence often echoes statements made by top Democrats.

 * For-profit progressive giant Arabella Advisors handles strategy and
   management for a host of nonprofits, including the New Venture Fund.

 * Precursor: The estimated $332 million donated in 2020 to public elections
   offices by Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla Chan, much of
   which wound up with groups in liberal strongholds.

Who Is Sara Biden? Joe’s In-Law Emerges as Central Figure in Foreign Cash Deals

By: Paul Sperry

December 11, 2023

In RealClearInvestigations, Paul Sperry examines the checkered past and likely
troubled future of Sara Jones Biden, the presidential sister-in-law who has
emerged as a key figure in the mushrooming Biden family foreign
influence-peddling scandal:

 * GOP lawmakers leading the Biden impeachment inquiry want to question her
   about bank records that include almost a quarter million dollars in checks
   she wrote to brother-in-law Joe, conspicuously marking them as “loan
   repayment.”

 * Republicans suspect those checks "were funded by Biden influence-peddling
   schemes with China.”

 * The $40,000 amount of one of the checks matches the formula for Joe’s cut
   described on first son Hunter Biden’s abandoned laptop: “10 held by H for the
   big guy” – meaning 10% of $400,000 from the Chinese.

 * Sara and husband Jim’s main business shows up in more than 3,735 emails
   generated by Joe Biden’s vice presidential office.

 * Like Hunter, Sara and Jim Biden have reportedly sold to companies the promise
   of access to their powerful relative. Some of the companies are tied to
   unsavory foreign regimes, and deals have ended in lawsuits and
   investigations.

 * After wedding Jim in 1995, Sara took a job with one of his brother Joe’s
   Senate donors, who later accused her of “fraud” and “unjust enrichment.”

 * In the years since, she and her husband have lived beyond their means and
   been accused of reneging on debts and failing to pay their taxes.

   who have poured into the city – at least 100,000 since the spring of 2022 --
   had not been vaccinated from polio.

 * Last year, New York State recorded its first polio case in the U.S. since
   2013, with the victim described only as an “unvaccinated man.” Also, in 2022,
   poliovirus was found in the water supply of four New York counties, including
   Long Island, and New York City. Another positive test result was recorded in
   Rockland County this year, according to the state.

 * Polio remains endemic in two countries, Afghanistan and Pakistan. Afghanistan
   is where President Biden’s chaotic withdrawal in 2021 resulted in 90,000
   Afghans being let into the U.S.

How Tax-Exempt Nonprofits Skirt U.S. Law to Turn Out the Democrat Base in
Elections

By: Steve Miller

December 12, 2023

In RealClearInvestigations, Steve Miller reports on ways progressives have
surpassed Republicans in harnessing the power of putatively nonpartisan
nonprofits that push legal boundaries to win elections:

 * More than 150 progressive nonprofits spent $1.35 billion on political
   activities in 2021 and 2022, according to data compiled by Restoration of
   America, a conservative political action committee.

 * Although there are no readily available estimates of comparable conservative
   efforts, observers say they are overmatched.

 * The progressive nonprofits perform a lot of the voter mobilization work the
   Democratic Party once did itself.

 * The groups work around legal restrictions on nonprofits by selectively
   engaging in “nonpartisan” efforts in areas with reliably Democratic
   constituencies, including boosting voter education and participation.

 * Important players this cycle are the Voter Participation Center and its
   partner group, the Center for Voter Information.

 * Both have the stated mission of encouraging people in specified demographics
   to vote: “young people, people of color and unmarried women.” All three
   groups are part of the Democratic Party’s base.

 * Vote.org describes itself as the largest “nonpartisan voting registration and
   get-out-the-vote (GOTV) technology platform in America,” while its
   correspondence often echoes statements made by top Democrats.

 * For-profit progressive giant Arabella Advisors handles strategy and
   management for a host of nonprofits, including the New Venture Fund.

 * Precursor: The estimated $332 million donated in 2020 to public elections
   offices by Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla Chan, much of
   which wound up with groups in liberal strongholds.

Who Is Sara Biden? Joe’s In-Law Emerges as Central Figure in Foreign Cash Deals

By: Paul Sperry

December 11, 2023

In RealClearInvestigations, Paul Sperry examines the checkered past and likely
troubled future of Sara Jones Biden, the presidential sister-in-law who has
emerged as a key figure in the mushrooming Biden family foreign
influence-peddling scandal:

 * GOP lawmakers leading the Biden impeachment inquiry want to question her
   about bank records that include almost a quarter million dollars in checks
   she wrote to brother-in-law Joe, conspicuously marking them as “loan
   repayment.”

 * Republicans suspect those checks "were funded by Biden influence-peddling
   schemes with China.”

 * The $40,000 amount of one of the checks matches the formula for Joe’s cut
   described on first son Hunter Biden’s abandoned laptop: “10 held by H for the
   big guy” – meaning 10% of $400,000 from the Chinese.

 * Sara and husband Jim’s main business shows up in more than 3,735 emails
   generated by Joe Biden’s vice presidential office.

 * Like Hunter, Sara and Jim Biden have reportedly sold to companies the promise
   of access to their powerful relative. Some of the companies are tied to
   unsavory foreign regimes, and deals have ended in lawsuits and
   investigations.

 * After wedding Jim in 1995, Sara took a job with one of his brother Joe’s
   Senate donors, who later accused her of “fraud” and “unjust enrichment.”

 * In the years since, she and her husband have lived beyond their means and
   been accused of reneging on debts and failing to pay their taxes.
