Important Announcement About USC Blog

When I started this blog 29 months ago, it was going to be more of a hobby after covering USC for more than 20 years.

I never imagined it would grow to its current size and attract such a loyal audience.

Well, now it’s time to grow even more. Today, I’m taking the InsideUSC blog to Sports Illustrated. The new address is https://www.si.com/college/usc/

The new USC blog will be the same in many ways but will have much more video, more recruiting and a stronger “community” area for comments. I hope you will join me at the new site for even more USC coverage.

    2. All they have on Hunter is a few thousand photos of him having sex with his first cousin who is a minor…. what are you so upset about?
      Oh, they also have a few hundred business-related texts proving Hunter set up bribe money for his Dad by negotiating deals with people he identifies as “Chinese spies” …. I fail to see how any of this is relevant to the Biden family.

      2. I get the “I hate Trump” perspective. But I don’t get voting for an idiot who is now an idiot with half of a brain, at most.

        Don’t vote for a loser. If the DNC sees this on Tuesday, maybe, just maybe, they will come up with a halfway reasonable candidate next time. After 47 years of doing nothing other than being the errand boy for the party leaders, Joe Biden has no business whatsoever being president. Zero. Not e-18. Zero.

  27. Why Biden Will Never Be President for ‘All Americans.’

    Joe Biden has assured us on multiple occasions that, if he wins, he will be the president of all Americans, even those that didn’t vote for him.

    This is impossible and is not just another “bright, shining lie” of the sort to which we have become sadly inured. It is an absolute falsehood highlighting a true American tragedy.

    National reconciliation could never happen under Biden. He would assume office under a cloud of suspicion so dark it’s hard to imagine a manner in which he could recover from it.

    From the moment he took office, the Democrats accused Donald Trump of collusion with Russia, but it was shown, after a lengthy and expensive investigation, they hadn’t an iota of proof.

    Indeed, there is a solid argument they knew they had no such evidence in the first place—even tried to manufacture it. This was one of the more repellent, if not the most repellent, political hits in our nation’s history.

    With Joe Biden, the reverse is true. There is already a plethora of evidence of economic collusion with China, notably with high level members of their Communist Party, that, coupled with the activities of his son, are stunningly obvious subjects for blackmail and serious coercion.

    This evidence has accrued in many forms—emails, texts, documents and the detailed public statements of Tony Bobulinski, the former Biden family business partner, including Bobulinski’s accounts of Joe’s personal involvement via face-to-face meetings about which the former vice president clearly lied.

    None of this has been successfully controverted, not even remotely, while the evidence continues to grow on a daily basis, with another even bigger email dump emerging through Peter Schweizer.

    And China, as we know, is but the tip of a multinational iceberg that includes an amazing percentage of the countries of the world from Oman to Luxembourg, not to mention, of course, Russia and, needless to say, Ukraine.

    That much of the media refuses to report on this story that would normally be gigantic is only an indication they are terrified it is true. Twitter founder Jack Dorsey went so far as to censor the information from the New York Post on his social media website, an act of utter panic. (Dorsey further besmirched himself by lying under oath to Sen. Marsha Blackburn at Wednesday’s hearing, claiming he had never censored Donald Trump when he had done so dozens of times.)

    We can only assume these media and many Democrats don’t care. So what if the Bidens are a crime family? They’re our crime family. And Trump is worse.

    Only he’s not. His children are not lolling around Beijing smoking crack with young women (maybe really girls) while the former vice president lies about business deals that could easily compromise our country and lead, slowly but surely, to the undoing of Western democracy desired by the CCP.

    Roughly half the country, the so-called “Deplorables,” knows all this. How are they supposed to react should Biden win? Accept him and give him a chance in the grand tradition of the peaceful transitions in our country when so many Democrats and nearly all our mainstream media never accepted Trump from day one?

    Not bloody likely.

    More likely is that more information on the Biden Family will continue to dribble out, faute de mieux and despite all the efforts to suppress it through changes that will undoubtedly be made at the Department of Justice and elsewhere. The truth always emerges… eventually…. somehow.

    Many are worried, with justification, about what will happen in our streets should Trump be reelected. This week in Philadelphia may be the tip of yet another iceberg.

    It is unlikely, however, that the “Deplorables,” though well armed, will react similarly. They are, for the most part, considerably more adult than their adversaries.

    But something will happen, in its time. I’m not sure when and I’m not sure what.

    Though, frankly, I’m not keen on finding out. I hope Donald Trump wins reelection next week—solidly.

  30. Hey 22, you fascist POS, get a load of this Trump BS.

    Trump Admitted Years Ago to a “Little Conflict of Interest” in Turkey. It’s Not So Little.

    Pressuring DOJ not to prosecute a Turkish bank for helping Iran “illustrates how compromised President Trump is.”

    ~ Mother Jones Article: By Dan Friedman, Reporter Bio

    ****In December 2015, Donald Trump, then a presidential candidate, made a casual admission. “I have a little conflict of interest ’cause I have a major, major building in Istanbul,” Trump told his interviewer, Steve Bannon, who would later take over Trump’s presidential campaign, on a Breitbart radio show. “It’s a tremendously successful job. It’s called Trump Towers—two towers, instead of one, not the usual one, it’s two.”

    Trump’s conflict in Turkey is actually not little.

    Last month, more than 150 paragraphs into its 10,000-plus word expose on Trump’s taxes, the New York Times revealed that Trump has pocketed “at least $13 million — far more than previously known — including more than $1 million since he entered the White House” through a 2008 licensing deal in which he is paid for his name to appear on two glass towers in Istanbul.

    “There is every reason for us to be concerned that he directed the Justice Department to give Erdogan what Erdogan wanted.”
    The deal enmeshed Trump in Turkish politics: The buildings are owned by a wealthy ally of Turkey’s authoritarian president, Recep Tayyip Erdogan. And the businessman who helped to negotiate Trump’s deal, Ali Yalcindag, now serves as chairman of the Turkey-US Business Council, lobbying the Trump administration on behalf of Turkish businesses; Yalcindag told the Times that he has “remained friendly” with Trump since they brokered the deal.

    The corruption here became even more clear on Thursday, when the Times reported new details on efforts by the president and members of his cabinet to quash an investigation by federal prosecutors into an alleged sanction-violating scheme by a Turkish state-owned bank following personal pleas from Erdogan to Trump. Federal prosecutors alleged Halkbank evaded US sanctions on Iran and believed the scheme “had helped finance Iran’s nuclear weapons program,” the Times reported.

    Trump’s effort to help Erdogan on Halkbank “illustrates how compromised President Trump is,” says Kathleen Clark, a law professor at Washington University in St. Louis. “There is every reason for us to be concerned that he directed the Justice Department to give Erdogan what Erdogan wanted, and that he did that not out of his conception of the public interest, but instead out of his conception of his own personal interest.”

    This major conflict of interest exists because the president refused to divest from his businesses after his 2016 victory. Critics say this is part of Trump’s rampant violation of the Constitution’s emoluments clause, which bars federal office holders from accepting gifts, payment, or other things of value from a foreign states.

    Now, as Trump closes his campaign to seek a second term, we can clearly see a record of the president appeasing Erdogan on a host of matters—resulting in well-founded concern, expressed even by Trump’s former national security adviser John Bolton, that the president is motivated by personal, not American interests in his dealings with Turkey.

    Prosecutors homed in on Halkbank in late 2017, after securing a guilty plea and cooperation agreement from a participant in the scheme, a gold trader named Reza Zarrab, whose legal team included former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani and former Attorney General Michael Mukasey. When prosecutors sought to draw up charges against the bank, former acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker pushed Southern District of New York prosecutors to instead shut down their investigation without charging the bank, according to Times.

    Last year. Attorney General Bill Barr, who replaced Whitaker, pushed Geoffrey Berman, then the US Attorney for the Southern District of New York, to settle with the bank on terms that were favorable to Halkbank and which Berman considered unacceptable, unethical, and “completely wrong,” according to the report. Among other things, Barr reportedly wanted to grant immunity to key Turkish officials with ties to Erdogan—even though they had not provided cooperation, which would normally be required for such a deal. Also, at Trump’s behest, Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin pushed DOJ not to impose too large a fine on Halkbank.

    Bolton told the Times that he was disturbed by the tone of the interactions between Trump and Erdogan with regards to Halkbank. “It was so idiosyncratic, so personal to Trump in the pursuit of personal relationships, that it was very dangerous,” Bolton said. “And it does look like obstruction of justice.” Last year, Bolton also reportedly told a private gathering of hedge fund investors that he believed a personal or business relationship dictated Trump’s positions on Turkey.

    Mother Jones has also reported on efforts by Brian Ballard, a lobbyist and major fundraiser for Trump, to help the bank avoid indictment. Ballard lobbied Vice President Mike Pence’s office, as well as Jay Sekulow, one of Trump’s personal lawyers who represented pro bono Andrew Brunson, a pastor who was imprisoned in Turkey in 2016. People familiar with Ballard’s outreach said it related to Turkey releasing Brunson in a bid to win more favorable treatment for Halkbank. Turkey in fact released Brunson on October 12, 2018, not long before Whitaker and Barr pushed for restricting the Halkbank investigation.

    We can clearly see a record of the president appeasing Erdogan on a host of matters—resulting in well-founded concern that the president is motivated by personal, not American interests in his dealings with Turkey.
    Trump’s actions on Halkbank are only one instance where his financial interest in Turkey may have influenced his actions toward the country. In a phone call with Erdogan last October, Trump okayed Erdogan’s request to send Turkish troops into Syria, a move that endangered Kurds, who were allied with US forces and were longtime foes of the Erdogan regime. Unexpectedly, the decision backfired on Halkbank after Trump, stung by bipartisan criticism in Washington, threatened to impose economic sanctions on Turkey over the invasion. This acrimony appears to have led the Justice Department, in an October 15, 2019 decision it has not explained publicly, to give prosecutors in Manhattan approval to file charges against Halkbank. The same day, Southern District prosecutors indicted Halkbank for money laundering, bank fraud, and conspiracy to violate Iran sanctions.

    This fall, Trump has not publicly faulted Erdogan for Turkey’s extensive support for Azerbaijan’s war with Armenia over the Nagorno-Karabakh region—an ethnically Armenian, functionally autonomous area within Azerbaijan’s borders. Turkey has provided weapons and training for Azerbaijani forces widely seen as aggressors in the conflict. Armenia has also charged that Turkey has dispatched fighter jets, drone operators, and even mercenaries from Syria to help Azerbaijan—claims the Turks deny. Backed by Turkey, Azerbaijan has resisted US efforts to broker a ceasefire.

    It is nearly impossible to know to what extent Trump’s personal interests motivate his conduct toward Turkey. But we don’t need hard proof to know Trump maintaining a source of income in Turkey is corrupt. “We shouldn’t have to wait for some memo indicating that is what caused him to ask the Justice Department to act that way,” Clark says. “The presence of financial interests, conflicting interests, is enough to be a problem.”

    Lock up the AH Trump!!!
