Biden's Are Holding Out For An Approximate $200 Million Donor Severance Package

President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden have treated their various Delaware real estate holdings like a personal ATM for years, taking out several mortgages and refinancing a whopping 35 times, according to the New York Post.

The couple, said to boast a net worth of $US10 million ($A15.01), allegedly borrowed $US6 million on the properties over the decades.

The wheeling and dealing dates back to the late 1970s — shortly after Joe and Jill were married. The pair have negotiated new mortgage or credit deals approximately every 17 months, the Daily Mail reported. The frequent refinancing has raised eyebrows.

“It doesn’t make a lot of sense unless they were desperate for cash,” a finance expert commented to the outlet.

The revelations add a layer of intrigue as the President faces scrutiny over his family’s financial past.

The Bidens’ current residence, a mansion purchased in 1996, still has an outstanding $541,000 mortgage nearly three decades later, records show.

The president’s previous Wilmington home, bought in 1975 for $US185,000 and offloaded in 1996 for $US1.2 million, had 15 mortgages and lines of credit attached to it before being sold to the vice chairman of credit card company MBNA, Delaware’s largest employer, which reportedly hired Hunter Biden that same year.

“Why would anyone view their home as an ATM?” LA realtor Tony Mariotti, founder of RubyHomes.com, asked the Daily Mail.

 

These Foreign Policy Jaw-Jackers Need To Up Their Economic Multi-Polarity Games...,

munkdebates |  Be it resolved, ending the world’s worst geopolitical crisis in a generation starts with acknowledging Russia’s security interests.

By any measure, the Russian invasion of Ukraine represents a profound security risk for the world. It raises fundamental issues about the basic principles that underwrite the current international order and it threatens the specter of an entrenched, high-risk Great Power conflict. How is this fast-evolving crisis best addressed? Does it demand a resolute and relentless push by the West to punish, isolate and degrade Putin’s Russia economically, politically and militarily? Or is a solution to be found in acknowledging Russia’s security needs and finding ways to mutually de-escalate the war, sooner not later? Which of these different strategies stand the best chance of success? And how ultimately is this conflict best resolved?

Janice Gross Stein, the Founding Director of the Munk School of Global Affairs & Public Policy at the University of Toronto, will moderate the panel discussion portion of the debate.

Summary: Michael McFaul was in Toronto yesterday for the Munk Debate: Russia-Ukraine War, with Stephen Walt, John Mearsheimer v Michael McFaul, Radosław Sikorski, the resolution being debated was Yay/Nay "ending the world's worst geo-political crisis starts with acknowledging Russia’s security interests", For those who don't follow the Munk debates, about 4 yrs ago there was a similar debate with Stephen Cohen where the Munk debates reversed the results when they came out "wrong". Anyhow the Munk debates made sure to pepper the results well in advance this time with an 63% nay vote (ok, well if your not willing to acknowledge Russia's security interests to stop a war, that can ONLY mean you want to continue the war in the hopes of "winning" the war against Russia).

Anyhow, I bring this up because McFaul was a hysterical mess during the debate, talking over the other debaters, interrupting them, shouting, at one point he even said that YES, US diplomats lie to other nations (ok Michael, then why the hell should Russia believe YOU when you give these worthless security assurances!) McFaul looks like he realizes that the US's ambitions in Ukraine are collapsing and he's hoping for a miracle to save them. But listening to these people (even Mearsheimer) makes it obvious how out of touch all of them are with the global situation. Globalism is dead, Russia will never reintegrate with the West, the theft of the 300 billion dollars, will not be forgiven or forgotten, what most people dont remember is that this is the 2nd time in 100 yrs where the West has seized Russia's foreign reserves, they did it before after the Russian Revolution and it took more than 60 yrs before Russia was willing to trust the West with their money again. How long will it take this time, 80 yrs, 100yrs? But listening to these "experts" they talk as if once Russia is expelled from Ukraine and Putin is removed from power, Russia will beg to be integrated into the West. No, Russia and the West have undergone a bitter divorce and never again the twain shall meet.
