New Whistleblower Documents Blow Holes
in Hunter Biden’s Congressional Testimony

Original Article

Posted By: Dreadnought, 5/22/2024 5:08:35 PM

Key details from Hunter Biden’s congressional testimony earlier this year are now in doubt thanks to documents provided to congressional investigators by two IRS agents who came forward last year with allegations of misconduct in the first son’s tax case. IRS whistleblowers Gary Shapley and Joseph Ziegler turned over documents to the House Ways and Means Committee on Wednesday that appear to show that Hunter Biden downplayed the extent of the foreign-influence peddling schemes he participated in while his father was vice president and in the years after his father left office.

"I swear as a Biden".....which means it is guaranteed to be another Biden lie. Bidens are apparently allergic to truth, must break out in hives if they tell truth.

I have to believe this is killing Joe. Hunter is clearly guilty of the crimes he is charged with, and more charges are possible down the line. It is an election year. Hunter is a weakling who will do anything to stay out of jail, including throwing members of his clan under the bus for a plea deal.

Media Matters Staffers Offered the Chance
to 'Learn to Code'

Posted by Dreadnought 5/24/2024 2:31:05 AM Post Reply
At least a dozen staffers at the left-wing character assassination outlet Media Matters for America were laid off today. Ordinarily, you could feel sorry for market forces putting people out of work, but that doesn't apply in this case. There probably haven't been this many deserving people at the unemployment office since the last left-wing media outlet failed. No one is talking about why the staffers were sent off to learn to code, but there is a strong suspicion that it is linked to a civil suit filed by tech billionaire Elon Musk. Media Matters went after advertisers on "X," the platform formerly known as Twitter, based on provably false claims

The local Fox 5 News station reported on how Democrats were going to try to gather up counter-protesters to come out for the Trump rally in the South Bronx. You knew that was likely to occur. But what's fascinating here is what anchor Rosanna Scotto says about it. Host Curt Menefee expresses the wish that "cooler heads prevail," hoping that there isn't any problem with the people being in the same area at the same time. Scotto said it looked like Trump was going to have "record crowds at the Bronx rally," which "is kind of unheard of for this area." She said the Democrats were trying to reach
NCAA Votes to Accept $2.8 Billion Settlement
That Will Change the Face of College Sports

The NCAA and the Big Ten Conference leadership approved a $2.8 billion groundbreaking settlement of antitrust claims that promises to usher in a chaotic and lucrative era in college sports. Four other conferences will have to approve the settlement for it to be formally approved. In House v. the NCAA, several former student-athletes who played before the 2021 agreement that allowed players to market their names, images, and likenesses (NIL) sued to recoup some of what they say they should have earned. The settlement could resolve three antitrust lawsuits against the NCAA worth $20 billion.

On Thursday’s broadcast of CNN’s “AC360,” CNN National Correspondent Kristen Holmes stated that the turnout at 2024 Republican presidential candidate former President Donald Trump’s rally in the Bronx that day was “a bigger crowd than I think Democrats would like to see,” and there were “a number” of people she talked to who said they voted for President Joe Biden in 2020 but are now looking for another candidate due to their frustration with conditions in the economy. Holmes said, “Well, certainly, a bigger crowd than I think Democrats would like to see, particularly given this is one of the bluest counties in the entire country.” After stating

Former President Donald Trump has broken political norms by visiting one of the most deep-blue areas in New York City, a town not necessarily known for its kindness to Republicans. Trump rallied a crowd of what his campaign estimated to be 25,000 supporters at Crotona Park in the Bronx on Thursday, far more than the initial 3,500 it said were expected to attend. Those numbers appeared to also include those lined up outside the event. "I'm here tonight to declare we are going to turn New York City around, and we are going to turn it around very, very quickly," Trump said after taking the stage, vowing to bring back safety

Approximately 900,000 Palestinians have fled from Rafah this month following the Israeli military evacuation orders for parts of the city earlier this month. Israel’s military called for residents in eastern Rafah to evacuate on May 6, after Hamas launched a deadly attack from Rafah near the Kerem Shalom border crossing, which is the primary entry point for desperately needed humanitarian aid. The Hamas attack seemingly prompted the evacuation order after months of discussion between the Biden administration and Israeli leaders over a possible Rafah invasion. The Israel Defense Forces have carried out “more targeted and limited” operations in the densely populated Gaza City

Washington — The Louisiana Senate passed a bill Thursday that would classify the drugs used in medication abortions as controlled substances, criminalizing possession of the drugs without a prescription. It now heads to the governor for his signature. The state Senate approved the bill 29 to 7 after it passed the House earlier this week. The bill is expected to be signed by Republican Gov. Jeff Landry, making Louisiana the first state to classify as controlled substances misoprostol and mifepristone — the two drugs used in a regimen to terminate early-stage pregnancies.

Almost four years after the Hunter Biden laptop story was censored by social-media platforms and dismissed by ex-intelligence officials, the Justice Department is planning on using “self-authenticating” data from the laptop at Biden’s upcoming federal gun trial. Special counsel David Weiss’s team of prosecutors is asking a judge to allow them to use evidence from the laptop during the gun trial. They’ve also asked the judge to prevent Biden from casting doubt on the authenticity of the laptop, which federal investigators verified in late 2019, according to the Justice Department and IRS whistleblower Gary Shapley.

The Supreme Court upheld South Carolina’s congressional map Thursday, ruling that legitimate partisan aspirations rather than nefarious racial motives animated the district drawing process. The 6–3 decision that split the Court along ideological lines amounted to a victory for Palmetto State Republicans who battled to preserve a more favorable map for their congressional delegation. “The District Court found that South Carolina drew District 1 with a racial ‘target,'” Justice Samuel Alito, who authored the majority opinion, wrote in the decision for Alexander v.

Joe Biden, the Democrats, and the mainstream media (but I repeat myself) have been banging on the "Trump is an existential threat to democracy" drum for years now. The mantra worked for quite a while, but according to the polls, the sting has been taken out of this thorn. People are done with the argument. It no longer works. Now, the Trump people are striking back, and it is a great time to do so. The lawfare against Trump is pretty obvious, the news that the FBI was authorized to use deadly force (Andy McCarthy thinks it's no big deal, but that's not how most people see it),

If you’re keeping track, Biden announced that America was going to spend two months building a floating pier to deliver aid to Gaza at a cost of $300 million that would be operated by the U.S. military. Then the pier came under attack by terrorists, was withdrawn to the Israeli port of Ashdod for repairs while the Biden administration conducted backchannel talks with Hamas urging it not to attack the pier, then redeployed for aid deliveries and it’s been a smashing success. For Hamas.

It didn’t take long for the Pentagon to all but confirm that the temporary Gaza port constructed at the behest of President Biden is turning out to be a total disaster. (snip) during a Tuesday press conference, in which Gen. Patrick S. Ryder, the Pentagon’s spokesman, told reporters that none of the 569 metric tons of food and supplies delivered into Hamas-controlled Gaza via the port have been distributed to Gaza residents by nongovernmental organizations. Constructed by the U.S. military, the $320 million floating port was announced earlier this year during Biden’s State of the Union address, a move designed to cater to the pro-Hamas wing of the Democrat Party base.

Last Friday morning, top-ranked golfer Scottie Scheffler arrived at the Valhalla Golf Club in Louisville, Ky., for the second round of the PGA Championship. Traffic was stopped due to an accident that had taken place earlier that morning, and Scheffler tried to drive around it. The original reports were that an officer tried to stop Scheffler’s car, and the golfer dragged the officer, causing injury. Police arrested Scheffler and hit him with four charges, including a felony. Det. Bryan Gillis, who said he tried to stop Scheffler and later arrested him, did not turn his body camera on during the incident, but he later wrote a report

Now we know for certain: the diary, like the laptop, is real — and its contents are alarming. So why isn't the media all over this? In 2019, Ashley Biden, the then 37-year-old daughter of President Biden and his wife Jill, wrote in her journal about showering with her father at an inappropriate age as well as her fears that, as a child, she was sexually abused. Explosive stuff. Not that you would have heard about it, thanks to a near-complete, years-long media blackout. After undergoing treatment in rehab, Ashley moved to a halfway house in Florida, where she left the diary under a mattress.

Bloomberg's pollster is out with a new batch of its regularly-released swing state data -- and it's (mostly) more of the same. We'll get to my question about Kamala Harris below, but first, here's what the fresh polling shows: Donald Trump leads narrowly-to-modestly over Joe Biden in five of the seven battlegrounds surveyed. Trump and Biden are tied in Nevada -- a good result for Biden, compared with both the recent New York Times poll showing him down double digits there, and the state average. Biden leads only in Michigan, and only by one point. As usual, the 'big three' midwestern states are extremely close,

In March 2018, Barack Obama’s former Secretary of State, John Kerry was caught secretly meeting with Iranian officials to salvage Iran’s nuclear weapons program. Kerry was working against the Trump administration to salvage Obama’s Iranian nuclear deal that funded terrorism across the Middle East. Obama’s former Secretary of State was seen dining with several Iranian regime officials. The above photo was taken as Kerry left the restaurant in Paris. Around this time, President Trump withdrew from the sham Iranian nuclear deal. President Trump knew the deal with the Iranian mullahs was not working.
