Voters were warned that Hunter Biden's laptop was Russian disinformation in the fall of 2020, just before the November election, and there was certainly disinformation being disseminated to the American people in those final weeks of the campaign, but it wasn't coming from Russia. It was actually coming from the American intelligence community and those blaming Russia for the laptop. It was an American intelligence operation of disinformation, much like the operation that American intelligence officials pulled off in the 2016 election. Now that we know for certain that American intelligence officials tried to frame Russia during their election interference in the 2020 election shouldn't we reevaluate what these same officials told us about Russia's activities during the 2016 election?

President Trump was just convicted for an illegal campaign contribution in the 2016 election when he defeated Hillary Clinton. It was a convoluted case based on novel legal theory, but what it comes down to is an illegal campaign contribution. Another example of an illegal campaign contribution is a contribution 'in-kind' that exceeds the legal limit. An 'in-kind' contribution is not a financial contribution. It's anything of non-monetary value that is donated to the campaign, like when the 51 former intelligence officials lied before the 2020 election by claiming Hunter Biden's laptop was Russian disinformation. Then, without vetting these intelligence officials, the media ran with their lies and donated more to the Biden campaign by covering up the story. What is the value of this gift they gave Biden just before that election, and was it election interference?

When Joe Biden was a senator in the early 1990's he supported a mandatory minimum prison sentence of five years for anyone caught with a piece of crack cocaine the size of a quarter. He didn't care if they had a problem with addiction, or how much their father loved them. It was five years in jail. "Judge doesn't even have a choice", he boasted in a speech from the Senate floor. Ironically, his son would later become a crack addict. He has photographed and recorded himself in possession of much more crack than a piece the size of quarter, but while many other Americans had to serve mandatory jail-time imposed by Joe Biden, his son has never spent a day in jail for possession of crack. What are some examples of a two-tiered justice system in America? Join the conversation and get answers to this question and more on According2Sam episode #217.

Professor Allan Lichtman's 13 Keys for predicting the outcome of U.S. presidential elections has been the most accurate forecaster over the past 4 decades. It looks at the issues, not the polls, and it is these issues that move the polls. Lichtman's keys determine the strengths and weaknesses of the party in power, and how well or poorly they governed. Two of the 13 Keys focus on foreign policy, one for wins and the other for failures. Judging the Biden administration by these keys so far, he has no foreign policy wins. However, he does have a foreign policy failure. Why has the 'foreign policy failure' key already been turned on Joe Biden, and what foreign policy deal is he currently trying to negotiate to balance the failure with a win?

The origins of Covid-19 have been in question since the virus first started spreading in Wuhan, China, where coincidentally there is a level 4 virology laboratory that was doing research on virus. We were first told the virus was zoonotic and had emerged in nature. They said it had come from a wet market where Chinese people buy food and it had come from a bat or a pangolin. There were many people who speculated early on that the virus had originated in the bio lab, but they were all discounted as conspiracy theorists and nut jobs. Today we know for certain the virus originated in the laboratory and it was engineered through gain of function research. Despite a coordinated effort by those responsible to keep the origins of Covid-19 hidden, the truth is finally coming out. What did we learn when Dr. Fauci's aid, Dr. David Morens testified in Congress this week? Join the conversation and get answers to this question and more on According2Sam episode #214.

Every election year politicians show up to Black churches, Black cookouts, and Black media pandering for Black votes. It is mostly Democrats, because until recently it was viewed as a waste of time and resources for Republicans to campaign for Black votes. However, that has changed. The Black vote is not as reliable for Democrats as it used to be, and both parties are now trying to get Black voters. Joe Biden and his team know he is losing support among this important demographic, especially with Black men. This past weekend, Biden delivered the commencement speech at Morehouse College in Atlanta. The all-male HBCU was the perfect place for Biden to sincerely and authentically make his case to Black men, but all he did was lie to them and offer them more shameless pandering. Why do I call it 'hot sauce' when politicians pander for Black votes? Join the conversation and get answers to this question and more on According2Sam episode #213.

Campaign strategists that run major party presidential campaigns use data for every decision. They depend on polling, focus groups, modeling, and many other tools to gather as much information as they can from as many different methods possible. They can now identify particular precincts that will determine the outcome of an entire state. They know which demographic groups they need to improve with, and the groups they have locked up. This is why you see so many presidential candidates changing their message and retooling mid campaign. They are likely reacting to internal data their campaign has gathered. All of this data can be very useful, but it is not always practical. Even with all of this data and calculated moves it can be frustrating when the formula doesn't seem to be working. Why is Joe Biden's campaign likely frustrated right now? Join the conversation and get answers to this question and more on According2Sam episode #212.

The protests on college campuses over the past few weeks are only a small part of the demonstrations we have seen over the past 7 months. Protesters have taken over the Capitol, blocked traffic on the Golden Gate Bridge and at O'Hare airport. They've protested at the Correspondents' Dinner, Met Gala, and all of Joe Biden's campaign events. Many people have classified these protests as antisemitic, but the numbers of Jewish demonstrators joining these protests, sometimes leading, cannot be overlooked. The View's, Sunny Hostin claimed these are anti-war protests, but if that was the case wouldn't they be protesting the war in Ukraine too? These are anti-Israel protests, because at the root of what they are protesting is the existence of the nation of Israel. Will these protests continue throughout the summer, and how do they threaten Joe Biden's reelection? Join the conversation and get answers to these questions and more on According2Sam episode #211.

A few weeks ago, Speaker Johnson finally brought the $95 billion foreign aid package to the floor for a vote after months of holding the legislation up. It was highly controversial, and it angered many in his own party. More Republicans voted against aid to Ukraine than voted for it. In a radio interview with Mark Levin, Johnson justified his decision by saying it was the only way to get aid for Israel. He said supporting Israel was a priority, and Biden would not fund Israel without funding Ukraine. Now that the House has passed the foreign aid to Ukraine, Biden has announced he is withholding some weapons to Israel if they invade Gaza. Johnson says he feels betrayed. Where did he go wrong in his negotiations with Biden? How did Biden play him, and how is he setting Johnson up to get played again? Join the conversation and get answers to these questions and more on According2Sam episode #210.
