By twice impeaching President Trump twice, there was a stain on America, as Nancy Pelosi said. But the stain was on the Democrat controlled House of Representatives. However, it changed the game. If the Democrats are going to make false and fraudulent claims against a president, do everything in their power to disrupt his or her administration, then the Republicans, at least going by the same standards, have to do the same. But, they should not and do not have to lie or commit fraud to do so or undermine our rule of law. Because these charges against Biden are all legitimate. Indeed, just the evidence that Tony Bobulinski shall testify too, if given the opportunity, alone, should be sufficient.
The Republicans worry me. There is ample evidence to impeach Biden. The Democrat hearings were a joke. The Republican hearings should be just as short and Democrats should be faced with the same limitations the Republicans had during the hearings. Will the Republicans live up to their duties and turn around our country, expose years of corruption by the Democrats. I don't know. I doubt their perseverance and integrity, at least many of them.
In case the R leadership needs help, I've already drafted Articles of Impeachment for them, based on what is publicly reported. Impeachments of Garland, Mayorkas and Wray should come next.

RESOLUTION
RESOLVED, That Joseph R. Biden, Jr., President of the United States, is
impeached for high crimes and misdemeanors, and that the following articles of
impeachment be exhibited to the United States Senate:
ARTICLES OF IMPEACHMENT EXHIBITED BY THE HOUSE OF
REPRESENTATIVES OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA IN THE NAME OF ITSELF AND OF
THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, AGAINST JOSEPH R. BIDEN, PRESIDENT
OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, IN MAINTENANCE AND SUPPORT OF ITS IMPEACHMENT
AGAINST HIM FOR HIGH CRIMES AND MISDEMEANOURS.
ARTICLE 1: DERILICTION
OF DUTIES OF THE EXECUTIVE OFFICE
The Constitution provides that the House
of Representatives “shall have the sole Power of Impeachment” and that the
President “shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of,
Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors”. In his conduct of the
office of President of the United States—and in violation of his constitutional
oath faithfully to execute the office of President of the United States and, to
the best of his ability, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the
United States, and in violation of his constitutional duty to take care that
the laws be faithfully executed—Joseph R. Biden, Jr. has been in dereliction of
his duties of the Presidency, in that:
A. Afghanistan:
Using the powers of his high office as Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces,
President Biden demanded and oversaw the evacuation and retreat of our Armed
Forces from Afghanistan in an extremely and predictably dangerous manner,
having been forewarned by the Chiefs of Staff and Intelligence Services of the
dangers of progressing in the manner chosen by him, regardless of the risks to
our own Armed Forces stationed therein, to our allies, including the Afghan
people, regardless of the expected damage to the reputation and therefore
effectiveness of our Armed Forces and the view of the world as to The United
States of America’s determination in military conflicts and dedication to its
allies. In so doing, he ignored and injured the integrity of The United States
and our Armed Forces. President Biden, acting both directly and through
his agents engaged in this dereliction of duty by, among other things:
1. While
claiming to follow the path of the Agreement with the Taliban entered into
during the Trump Administration, failed to use the prudence inherent in and
expected of the Executive in ignoring the conditions upon the Taliban and
benchmarks for evacuation to take place.
2. Insisting
on a firm deadline for evacuation to be concluded regardless of the obvious
impossibility of doing so without risk of harm and death to our Armed Forces,
Americans in Afghanistan, our allies and the people of Afghanistan.
3. Ignoring
the advice of the Chiefs of Staff of the Armed Forces and our intelligence
agencies not to proceed in the manner he directed.
4. Ignoring
the obvious effect of a premature evacuation in declaring that the rapid
takeover by the Taliban was not inevitable despite admitting he could not trust
the Taliban.
5. Recklessly
causing the death to at least 13 members of the American Armed Forces, and
countless thousands of Afghanis, many of whom had voluntarily worked towards
the goals of The United States and its allies.
6. Recklessly
abandoning hundreds of Americans in Afghanistan and the Afghanis who had
voluntarily served with and aided our Armed Forces and those of our allies,
some of whom, United States citizens and others who are still there in
Afghanistan, unable to get out, to the dangerous and even homicidal tendencies
of the Taliban.
7. Lying to
the American people in first stating that “the likelihood there’s going to be the Taliban overrunning
everything and owning the whole country is highly unlikely” and that “there's going to be no circumstance where people would be
lifted off the US Embassy roof” later claiming after the complete victory of the Taliban and
evacuation made from the roof of The United States Embassy that it was
impossible to evacuate without “chaos ensuing.”
8. While taking credit and admitting
responsibility for ending the war he also blamed the previous administration
despite ignoring the conditions and benchmarks in their agreement with the
Taliban, even insisting that he had no choice but to act as he did, despite the
fact that he could have simply declared a previous president’s agreement no
longer in effect, and, in fact, beginning on his first day in office,
completely reversing many of the effects and acts of the last administration,
including making The United States energy independent and securing the border.
B. The Border:
Using the powers of his high office as Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces,
President Biden demanded and oversaw the weakening of our southern border with
Mexico, allowing in millions of illegal aliens, including scores of those on
the terrorist watch list, all for the purposes of trying to increase the
numbers of people he believes will, if gaining citizenship someday, will likely
vote for the Democrat Party. President Biden, acting both directly and through
his agents engaged in this dereliction of duty by, among other things and in
some cases immediately upon becoming president:
1. Ending
the previous administration’s stay in Mexico policy.
2. Ending
the previous administration’s border wall project.
3. Ending
the previous administration’s hold on immigration from certain countries.
4. Rescinding
the previous administration’s order calling for removal of illegal aliens.
5. Refunding
Sanctuary Cities, thereby rewarding those cities frustrating federal law and
federal agents
6. Trying to
pause deportation enforcement for a hundred days.
7. Terminating
the emergency proclamation (and then created a new emergency).
8. Ordering
the Department of Census to count illegal aliens, thereby increasing the power
of those states they would naturally flock to, like Chicago, New York and
California.
9. Ending
immigration status checks for sponsors of unaccompanied minors, quadrupled the
number of refugee admissions.
10. With foreknowledge that a
claim that mounted border control troops had whipped migrants was false,
indeed, that the photographer whose photograph was the basis of the claim had
said that not only was there no whipping shown in his photograph, but he had
never seen any whipping, President Biden used it as an excuse to suspend the
effective use of mounted troops at the border.
Biden's actions led to historically low
deportations, record border crossings, a huge influx of fentanyl, according to
Texas’ Governor Abbot, almost a 900% increase since 2019, created a massive surge
at the border by giving good reason for immigrants to believe it would be
easier to get into the United States and causing chaos at the border and
allowing the easy entrance into America of illegal drugs, including fentanyl,
criminals, terrorists and those infected with Covid and the deaths of countless
migrants including accompanied and unaccompanied minors, danger to Federal
Agents at the border and the overwhelming of the agency charged with protecting
the border. So reckless and indifferent to suffering as a result of his
policies, he caused what has been described by congresspersons, senators and
experts in his own party to describe it as “catastrophic,” “a crisis,” “a
national emergency,” and “an alarming
uptrend in the apprehension of convicted sex offenders.”
So secretive was the
administrative, including in not giving journalists access to the border, that
a Democrat congressman has stated that he gets more information
from Mexico than he does from the Biden administration and leaked photos about
the horrid condition the children are being kept in.
WHEREFORE, President Biden, by
such conduct, has demonstrated that he will remain a threat to national
security and the Constitution if allowed to remain in office, and has acted in
a manner grossly incompatible with self-governance and the rule of law caused
uncountable deaths, privation, dissention within the United States between
border states and non-border states, allowed the tremendous growth of the
illicit drug trade and its sequelae of death and destruction, particularly to
young people and their families and participated in unethical and corrupt
business practices which he kept secret from the American people. He cannot
continue to be the Executive and Commander of our Armed Forces. President Biden
thus warrants impeachment and trial, removal from office, and disqualification
to hold and enjoy any office of honor, trust, or profit under the United
States.
ARTICLE II. ABUSE OF
POWERS
The Constitution provides that the House
of Representatives “shall have the sole Power of Impeachment” and that the
President “shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of,
Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors”. In his conduct of the
office of President of the United States—and in violation of his constitutional
oath faithfully to execute the office of President of the United States and, to
the best of his ability, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the
United States, and in violation of his constitutional duty to take care that
the laws be faithfully executed—Joseph R. Biden has abused the powers of the
Presidency, in that:
A. In the Office of the
Presidency
1. He has used his office to seek
to destroy or permanently impair the petroleum industry which is
necessary to the safety, happiness and the security of the people of the United
States from his first day in office, including stopping development of a key
pipeline, withholding valuable leases he was required to auction to oil
companies, denigrating and the industry and blaming them for alarming prices
for which he was responsible by decreasing drilling and exploration. He sought
to avoid responsibility for the negative effects of these actions by lying as
to the price at the gasoline pump when he took office, roughly doubling it, by
severely decreasing The United States Strategic Petroleum Reserve supplies, and
by approaching those countries he has previously castigated for fuel production
and begging for increased production, including the de facto president of
Venezuela whom The United States does not recognize. Regardless of the danger
to the country, Biden refuses to acknowledge that his economy and specifically
his energy policies have failed.
As a result of his actions, the war in
Ukraine has undoubtedly been extended, Russia, the aggressor there, has been
empowered and enriched, already dangerous inflation has worsened, a diesel fuel
crises has already incurred threatening all industry and even home heating oil,
and, the security of The United States of American has been threatened.
2. By a series of illegal and
unconstitutional mandates in response to the Covid-19 Pandemic and by public
statements that belied the known science as to the vaccines produced by several
companies and despite the knowledge that the vaccines do not prevent the
spread of Covid-19, he caused the loss of tens of thousands of
jobs, including in private industry and the military and incited
hatred and misunderstanding between the citizens of this country by
denigrating those who chose not to be vaccinated with an untested serum.
3. While knowing that he had not the
power to do so, he ordered the cancellation of debt, and in a grossly
unequal application, to millions of educational debtors. In order to avoid
responsibility for his actions, he lied to the American people, claiming that
it had passed both houses of congress by a small number of votes.
B. In the Office of Vice President
While serving under President Obama then
Vice President Biden engaged in international business activities with his son,
Hunter Biden and his brother, James Biden, using his office of Vice President
as a draw.
While Vice President under President
Obama, President Biden, among other things:
1. Allowed
Hunter Biden use of transportation available to him as Vice President.
2. Met with
various actors in the business transactions as requested by Hunter Biden.
3. Participated
in business meetings with Hunter Biden and others.
4. Spoke
with Hunter Biden and offered advice to him concerning his businesses and
fallout from its exposure.
5. Reaped
ten percent of certain business deals conducted by Hunter Biden, earning
millions of dollars which were held by Hunter Biden for him.
6. Engaged
in what is commonly called “pay for play.”
7. Violated
the tax laws of this country by not reporting income.
8. Kept his
activities secret from the American people while he ran for president, being
spoken of among the business circle as “The Big Guy.”
9. Frequently
lied to the American people by denying his knowledge and participation with
Hunter Biden and others in their business dealings.
10. Coerced and then publicly
bragged of coercing Ukraine’s then president with one billion dollars in loan
guarantees into firing its own Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin who was investigating Burisma
Holdings, on whose board Hunter Biden sat.
These acts, taken individually, or in
unison, have placed The United States and our allies in the most vulnerable
position since the early days of this nation by placing his presidency subject
to pressure from other countries, including The People’s Republic of China, our
largest global competitor, caused the further fracturing of our national unity
to a greater extent than in prior years dating back to the days of
Reconstruction, unlawfully harmed and destroyed the lives of thousands of
citizens with unlawful and unconstitutional decrees and generally abused the
powers of the presidency.
WHEREFORE, President Biden, by
such conduct, has demonstrated that he will remain a threat to national
security and the Constitution if allowed to remain in office, and has acted in
a manner grossly incompatible with self-governance and the rule of law, caused
the country enormous economic damage, tremendous individual hardships and
participated in unethical and corrupt business practices which he kept secret
from the American people. He cannot continue to be the Executive and Commander
of our Armed Forces. President Biden thus warrants impeachment and trial,
removal from office, and disqualification to hold and enjoy any office of
honor, trust, or profit under the United States.
