As President Trump defends himself from a bogus impeachment led by Democrats who claim he ‘abused his office’ by threatening to withhold military aid from Ukraine, most rational, clear-thinking Americans know that in reality, it was Joe Biden as President Obama’s point man for that country who actually threatened Kiev’s leaders. And why? Because a Ukrainian prosecutor was investigating corruption allegedly linked to a company — Burisma Holdings — in which Hunter Biden was serving as a board member for something like $83,000 per month. That’s great work if you can find it. But Hunter’s problems don’t start and end in Ukraine. text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.net HUGE!

It’s hard to see this move as anything but a temporary reprieve for the once-mighty Sears brand. The mall mainstay has fallen on hard times in recent decades as online retail has taken over — and now, the company is signing on with Amazon to sell its Kenmore brand through one of the key contributors to that on-going downside. While the move feels a bit defeatist, it’s a smart one, at least in the short term — a fact that Wall Street has rewarded, with shares in the 131-year-old company jumping as much as 25-percent in this morning’s trading.
