Devon Archer Testifies Joe Biden Was on Speakerphone for 20 Calls We completed a transcribed interview with Biden associate, Devon Archer. Archer’s testimony confirms Joe Biden lied to the American people when he said he had no knowledge about his son’s business dealings and was not involved. Critical takeaways: When Joe Biden was Vice President of the United States, he joined Hunter Biden’s dinners with his foreign business associates in person or by speakerphone over 20 times. Devon Archer testified that the value of adding Hunter Biden to Burisma’s board was “the brand” and confirmed that then-Vice President Joe Biden was “the brand” and that the 20 phone calls were to sell “the brand.” In fact, Devon Archer admitted that “Burisma would have gone out of business if ‘the brand’ had not been attached to it.” Because of the Bidens’ involvement, people would have been intimidated to mess with Burisma legally. In December 2015, Mykola Zlochevsky, the owner of Burisma, and Vadym Pozharski, an executive of Burisma, placed constant pressure on Hunter Biden to get help from D.C. regarding the Ukrainian prosecutor, Viktor Shokin. Shokin was investigating Burisma for corruption. Hunter Biden, along with Zlochevsky and Pozharski, “called D.C.” to discuss the matter. Biden, Zlochevsky, and Pozharski stepped away to make the call. This raises concerns that Hunter Biden was in violation of the Foreign Agents Registration Act. Joe Biden was dialed into a dinner in Paris with a French energy company and in China with Jonathan Li, the CEO of BHR. Then-VP Biden also had coffee with Li in Beijing and even wrote a letter of recommendation for college for Li’s daughter. Archer confirmed Joe Biden was referred to as “my guy” by Hunter Biden. In 2014, then-VP Biden attended a business dinner with Hunter & his associates at Café Milano in D.C. Elena Baturina, a Russian oligarch who is the widow of the former mayor of Moscow, was an attendee. Notably, the Biden Admin’s public sanctions do not contain Baturina. Leaked emails reveal Hunter Biden's real estate company received a $40MILLION investment from Russian oligarch Yelena Baturina, the billionaire widow of corrupt Moscow mayor, who also paid president's son $3.5million consulting fee • Yelena Baturina is the billionaire widow of a corrupt Moscow mayor, at one time the richest woman in Russia and now worth $1.4billion • Documents show Rosemont Realty's investors included Inteco Management AG, a Swiss company owned by Baturina • Inteco Management invested $40million with Hunter's company Rosemont Realty • Emails show Hunter and Baturina's financial relationship was far more extensive than previously known • The relationship has already been flagged as alarming by a Senate report after Baturina mysteriously wired $3.5million to a company linked to Hunter • The emails come from a leak to an Kazakh anti-corruption group - emails that were sent to Kenes Rakishev, a Kazakh businessman by Hunter's business partner • Rakishev became friends and business partners with Hunter and was pictured with Hunter and Joe Biden

One Thing, Jesus Christ - Article #6 - Fifth Series - July 31st, 2023 by Fr. Ben Daghir Article: Everyone knows that baseball is a game of failure. In fact, one game a player can hit 4-4 and the following day go hitless with an abysmal 0-5 performance. Ted Williams, arguably the best hitter in Major League Baseball history, stated "Baseball is the only field of endeavor where a man can succeed three times out of ten and be considered a good performer.” There is something about the failure of baseball that makes it beautiful. Do you remember the great movie A League Of Their Own (1992)? It depicts The Women’s Baseball Association during World War II. The movie includes a scene with the baseball coach Jimmy Dugan (played by Tom Hanks) and his best ball player Dottie Hinson (played by Geena Davis). Dottie, after becoming the most talented, respected, and renowned player in the league, decides to retire because the game had become too hard. Coach Dugan, who had his entire perspective on baseball and life changed as a result of Dottie’s remarkable example, stated to her “It (baseball) is supposed to be hard. If it wasn’t hard, everyone would do it. The hard is what makes it great.” In fact, Coach Dugan was simply reminding her of what she had been teaching him the entire time - that failures and difficulties are often good to experience. She taught Coach Dugan a lesson that he had missed as a former player and troublemaker. She taught him the most important lesson which baseball can offer a ball player - failure must become your friend. Cy Young, the winningest pitcher in Major League Baseball history, recorded 511 wins in his career. He holds one other statistic though: the most losses (315). He is both the greatest and worst pitcher in MLB history. It is no surprise that the winningest pitcher in history also has the most losses. Baseball is a game of failure. All the great baseball players have failed. Take Babe Ruth as an example - he hit 714 home runs and became the face of the game of baseball. He also struck out 1,330 times. Now, consider Babe Ruth’s famous quote: “Never allow the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game.” Failure became Babe Ruth’s friend - he learned to embrace it. Now, how does this most important lesson in baseball relate to faith? Archabbot Boniface Wimmer founded the St. Vincent Archabbey in Latrobe, Pennsylvania. There is a popular quote attributed to him which strikes at the heart of faith. Archabbot Wimmer stated, “Man’s adversity is God’s opportunity.” Our adversity comes from “The Fall” which refers to Adam and Eve’s sin in the garden and the effects of original sin. Now, God’s opportunity is most clearly seen in the peculiar doctrine of the Christian faith - The Incarnation. God became man - he entered into our flesh, our human experience. This includes our pain, suffering, confusion, setbacks, fears, worries, anxieties, and stresses. God then took on our sins - including all the disorderliness, chaos, and separation which it brings. St. Paul then adds that God humbled himself and obediently accepted “even death, death on a cross” to destroy its grip from the inside out (Phillipians 2:8). Christ enters into the depths of our brokenness, falleness, weakness, and sinfulness. In other words, man’s adversity becomes the precise opportunity through which God brings salvation through Jesus Christ. Wimmer was right - man’s adversity really is God’s opportunity. Baseball reflects a similar lesson. Cy Young lost 315 times and these adversities fueled him to respond by winning 511 games. Babe Ruth struck out 1,330 times which motivated him to hit 714 home runs. These baseball greats understood how adversity could be turned into opportunity. Failure became their friend. I encourage you to take a moment and think back to a great setback, fear, or failure that you once experienced. How has that adversity in your life become God’s opportunity? Like Coach Dugan, are you able to confidently say “the hard is what makes it great”? ======================== Fr. Ben Daghir is a priest for the Diocese of Erie. He is a graduate of Elk County Catholic High School in Saint Marys, Saint Vincent College in Latrobe, and St. Mary's Seminary & University in Baltimore, Maryland.
