Viktor Shokin's coming out party

Thanks to the hard work done by Brian Kilmeade and his team, Americans will get their first extended interview of the prosecutor that Joe Biden got fired. It's amazing that Kilmeade is the first journalist to ask to interview Shokin. Further, Shokin said he's been poisoned twice while living in war-torn Ukraine.

UPDATE: The interview has been published on YouTube. It's approximately 7 minutes long and well worth watching.

Why was Shokin fired?

SHOKIN: I have said repeatedly in my previous interviews that Poroshenko fired me at the insistence of the then-vice president Biden because I was investigating Burisma.

Kilmeade: So did President Poroshenko tell you that? That he wanted you to stay on the job but there was pressure from Vice President Biden?

SHOKIN: You understood me correctly. That is how it was. There were no complaints, no problems with how I was performing my job, but because pressure was constantly put on President Poroshenko, that is what ended up in him firing me.

KILMEADE: What are your thoughts when you saw the tape of Vice President Biden speaking to the Council on Foreign Relations saying you had 6 hours to fire you or you're not going to get the $1,000,000,000?

SHOKIN: Not only the position of President Poroshenko, the office of President Poroshenko was humiliated but the entire country of Ukraine was humiliated and I developed a very firm understanding of the fact that the Vice President was only acting in his own interest.

Here's the videotape of the interview:

Biden is in it for himself

Why is it that then-VP Biden changed U.S. policy towards Burisma corruption? After all, the Obama State Department had determined that Ukraine had done enough to warrant a package of loan guarantees. Miranda Devine points out that the 'Shokin is corrupt' storyline is bogus:

It's time to shut down that storyline. It's as fake as the storyline that the NY Post article is Russian disinformation.

The Bidens' Role

SHOKIN: Zlochevsky, who was a minister, started bringing in people who could provide protection for him. Hunter Biden was among them.
We should nickname Hunter 'Burisma's Insurance Policy.' A single call to the 'Big Guy' and Burisma's problems were in the rear-view mirror. Joe Biden's other nickname (besides the Big Guy) should be Bauturina's Protector. A single check to Rosemount Seneca Thornton for a paltry $3,917,000 kept her off the U.S. Treasury Department's sanctions list. She's a bllionaire. What does she care about $3,900,000?

Is Joe Biden our Grifter-in-Chief?

Apparently, Joe Biden doesn't care about the law or Supreme Court rulings. When asked about the ruling on his student loan bailout, Biden said that the Supreme Court misinterpreted the Constitution. He knows they didn't. That's just what he said to preserve the opportunity to introduce his next unconstitutional plan that will get rejected by the Supreme Court. This isn't about whether it's constitutional. It's about whether he can con enough young people into voting for him in 2024. Biden must've anticipated this ruling. Within an hour of the ruling, the Administration was out with this detailed fact sheet to replace the plan that he knew would fail. It opens with the same partisan attack as Democrats have mouthed. The fact sheet opens by saying "No President has fought harder for student debt relief than President Biden, and he’s not done yet. President Biden and Vice President Harris will not let Republican elected officials succeed in denying hard

Tim Walz's Confederate Flag Fiasco

Image
After Minnesota's Democrats shoved the most controversial progressive legislation down Minnesotans' throats, gossip started popping up about Gov. Walz being interested in running for president . That's died off but Gov. Walz is still making headlines, this time for all the wrong reasons. First, Gov. Walz isn't the brightest bulb in the chandelier. Still, Gov. Walz is fighting against Minnesota's history. This Alpha News article quotes David Hann, the chairman of Minnesota's Republican Party, as saying " The flag the DFL has eliminated was a version of the historic flag our regiments fought under during the Civil War. Minnesota was the first state to offer troops to the Union cause in 1861 , beginning a long tradition of leading the nation in confronting injustice. The DFL quest to erase our history is repugnant and should be rejected." Gov. Walz, though, sees things differently. He's quoted as saying "Minnesota is a diverse state, it continue

Maria Bartiromo's interrogation of Gov. Ron DeSantis

Image
Yesterday, Maria Bartiromo interrogated Gov. Ron DeSantis on Sunday Morning Futures. The first half of the interview, Bartiromo asked policy questions. Gov. DeSantis showed his understanding of the issues and presented his solutions on everything from China, inflation and growing the economy. The first reply he had was to cut spending. His next reply was to open energy production. Third, he talked about the importance of increasing productivity, which he correctly said is the best way to eliminate inflation. A little over half the way through the interview, though, it turned into an attack. Bartiromo asked "I'm wondering what's going on with your campaign. There was a lot of optimism about you running for president earlier in the year but here's this weekend's headline from the Politico Playbook: Failure to launch. Gov. Ron DeSantis's campaign to topple Donald Trump has stalled. We are way behind says a top DeSantis PAC official. What happened? Despite that bad
