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?

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...

What is Kamala Harris afraid of?

Image
Apparently, Kamala Harris suddenly loves debating. Let me rephrase that. Harris loves debating as long as the moderators are partisan hacks. She wants nothing to do with a debate moderated by Fox's Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum. She's afraid of Bret and Martha because a) they'll either fact-check both her and Trump or they won't fact-check either of them and b) Bret and Martha aren't afraid of asking follow-up questions. To a candidate whose answers are scripted and who isn't quick on her feet, the last thing you want is a follow-up question. Kamala fears follow-up questions like vampires hate wooden stakes, sunlight and holy water. Why has Kamala Harris avoided Fox News like the plague? The moderators/propagandists fact-checked Donald Trump aggressively but didn't fact-check Harris . Why didn't David Muir and Linsey Davis fact-check both candidates equally? Is it because Harris doesn't like fair fights? Perhaps she's just afraid of getting exp...

Why is Joe Biden letting Hamas off the hook?

Image
It isn't disputable whether Joe Biden's administration is letting Hamas off the hook. That issue was settled months ago, when a spineless Joe Biden caved to activists interested in saving Hamas and thwarting the Israelis' attempt to defend themselves. Gerard Baker's op-ed highlights what's at stake for the U.S. if the terrorists are permitted to survive. In his op-ed, Baker wrote "If, under the pressure of internal Democratic politics and global public opinion, the Biden administration forces a 'cease-fire' that leaves our closest ally in the region short of victory over an enemy that seeks to destroy it, sooner or later we shall all pay the price." It's time to revisit George W. Bush's speech to a joint session of Congress on Sept. 20, 2001. It's required that we remind ourselves of one of its most important paragraphs. In talking about who committed the atrocities of 9/11, President Bush identified al-Qa'ida as "a collectio...
