Biden Shifts Some Military Foreign Aid From Middle East Country To Taiwan

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Joe Biden has reportedly notified Congress that he intends to shift tens of millions of dollars from Egypt to Taiwan for failing to improve in areas that were required to receive the money.

The Wall Street Journal reported that the Biden administration will withhold $85 million in aid while some lawmakers are pushing the administration to withhold an additional $235 million. The deadline for authorizing the withholding of the aid is September 30.

U.S. officials said that the shifting of money comes in response to Egypt failing to “make progress on human rights and other issues,” the report said.

The conditional aid is only a fraction of the $1.3 billion that the U.S. gives Egypt per year, the report noted, which comes as the two countries have growing disagreements on a variety of matters.

The report said that the administration is planning to redirect at least $55 million to Taiwan and $30 million to Lebanon. (Read more from “Biden Shifts Some Military Foreign Aid From Middle East Country To Taiwan” HERE)

Joe Biden’s Claims About 9/11 Actually Get Fact-Checked

/0 Comments/in , /by

On Monday, President Joe Biden not only failed to speak at one of the memorial ceremonies on the 22nd anniversary of where the attacks occurred, he also told one of his tall tales, claiming he was at Ground Zero on September 12, 2001. In the process, it appears the president also managed to plagiarize Hillary Clinton, who as a senator from New York at the time, had been there the day after. . .

CNN’s Daniel Dale, who has shied away from fact-checking the president in the past, despite that being his job description, was forced to address Biden’s claims.

On Tuesday, “CNN News Central” played the clip of Biden’s remarks in question, with host Brianna Keilar pointing out “that’s not actually true,” as she asked Dale “when did Biden actually visit Ground Zero?”

As Dale explained, that would be on September 20, 2001, nine days later. He went as part of a bipartisan delegation of senators, with Biden serving as a senator from Delaware at the time. “I asked the White House last night about this claim. They provided a photo of him there on September 20th, reiterated that he was there that day. I think some people might say, okay, you know, he was there,” Dale continued. “It’s just days, a matter of days later. Maybe he forgot. And maybe he forgot.”

“But look, it’s 9-11. It’s sensitive. He’s speaking to military and first responders. So, I think the facts matter,” the fact-checker pointed out in actually fact-checking the White House as he explained why the claim can’t just be easily dismissed.

Hunter Biden Sues Ex-Trump Aide for Posting Infamous Laptop Files Online

/0 Comments/in , /by

Hunter Biden filed a lawsuit against a former Trump administration aide in California federal court Wednesday, alleging he illegally posted contents of his infamous “laptop from hell.”

The lawsuit accuses Garrett Ziegler, his company, and 10 unnamed defendants of improperly “accessing, tampering with, manipulating, altering, copying and damaging computer data that they do not own” in violation of the Golden State’s computer fraud laws.

“By engaging in the conduct alleged herein, Defendants have engaged in unfair and unlawful activities in violation of the [Computer Fraud and Abuse Act] and California Penal Code section 502,” attorneys for President Joe Biden’s son wrote.

The suit focuses on what conservatives have dubbed the “laptop from hell” the younger Biden apparently left at a Wilmington, Delaware, repair shop. It was discovered by Republican operatives in the weeks before the 2020 election and has become the focal point of corruption allegations pointing to Hunter Biden.

IRS Whistleblower Reveals David Weiss ‘Not the Deciding Person’ in Hunter Biden Case

/0 Comments/in , /by

Contemporaneous notes handwritten by IRS supervisory special agent Gary Shapley during an Oct. 7, 2022, meeting about the tax fraud investigation of first son Hunter Biden indicate Delaware US Attorney David Weiss said he was “not the deciding person” in bringing criminal charges.

The notes were released Wednesday by Shapley’s lawyers following a transcribed Sept. 7 House Judiciary Committee interview of Baltimore FBI Special Agent in Charge Tom Sobocinski, who attended the meeting and told the panel that he couldn’t recall the exchange.

“Weiss stated — He is not the deciding person,” the handwritten notes from Shapley say.

The document was released one day after House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) launched an impeachment inquiry into President Biden’s alleged role in his son Hunter and brother James Biden’s foreign business dealings.

“Mr. Sobocinski was one of seven attendees in the October 7, 2022 meeting,” wrote Shapley’s lawyers Tristan Leavitt and Mark Lytle in a letter accompanying the release of the handwritten notes, which contained redactions made by the tax-focused House Ways and Means Committee.

Reporter Calls Out Biden’s Frequent Gaffes at White House Briefing: ‘What Is Going On With the President?’

/0 Comments/in , /by

White House National Security Council John Kirby dodged a question about President Biden’s frequent factual embellishments after the commander-in-chief falsely claimed this week to have been at Ground Zero the day after the 9/11 attacks.

“The president has lied about being at Ground Zero the day after the Sept. 11 attacks, falsely claimed he saw the Pittsburgh bridge collapse, claimed his grandfather died in the hospital days before his birth. What is going on with the president? Is he just believing things that didn’t happen did happen, or is he just randomly making stuff up?” Washington Times reporter Jeff Mordock pointedly asked Kirby in a jaw-dropping moment during Wednesday’s White House press briefing.

Kirby, a retired Navy rear admiral and veteran military public affairs officer, sidestepped the question, highlighting Biden’s Monday trip to visit troops in Alaska and clarifying the 80-year-old president’s Ground Zero gaffe.

“The president was deeply touched and honored to be able to spend 9/11 with military members there in Alaska and some families and was honored by their presence and the chance to make an important set of remarks about why we need to continue to remember that day. And he did that,” Kirby, 60, said.

“And he spoke about a visit to Ground Zero, which he did participate in about a week or so after the event, and what that looked and what that smelled and what that felt like. And it had a visceral impact on him as it did so many other Americans on that terrible day.” (Read more from “Reporter Calls Out Biden’s Frequent Gaffes at White House Briefing: ‘What Is Going On With the President?” HERE)

‘F—ing Spy Chief of China’: ‘Irregularities’ Found in DOJ Probe of Biden Associate

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Department of Justice (DOJ) investigation and prosecution of CEFC China Energy Co. boss and Biden family associate Patrick Ho displayed “irregularities,” including concealing known connections between the Chinese Communist Party-linked entity and the Bidens, and communication between Hunter Biden and the FBI agents involved in Ho’s case, according to a memo by the Heritage Foundation Oversight Project.

Ho, infamously referred to as “the f***ing spy chief of China” by Hunter Biden, was arrested in November, 2017, and convicted in December, 2018, in the Southern District of New York and sentenced to 3 years in prison for violating the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and money laundering. Ho’s first phone call upon his arrest was to Hunter Biden, who was allegedly providing legal services to him at the time.

Now, a memo by the Heritage Foundation obtained exclusively by Breitbart News alleges that since Ho’s conviction, “significant evidence has emerged identifying concerning irregularities with the DOJ investigation and prosecution,” including that “DOJ was aware of connections between the Biden family and CEFC at least as early as 2017 and that they acted to conceal this information from the public,” as well as “contacts between Hunter Biden and FBI agents related to Ho’s arrest,” and “a leak of investigatory information in the Ho case.”

The memo cites the fact that Ho was under FISA surveillance during a period where he was in “regular communication” with CEFC and the Biden family, which would indicate the FBI and DOJ had knowledge of their business arrangements in at least 2017, and probably in 2016.

The memo also cites evidence that the DOJ redacted mentions of the Biden family — specifically, Hunter Biden — in the evidence presented at Ho’s 2018 trial. For instance, Assistant U.S. Attorney Daniel Richenthal requested redactions of an email presented in the case for the purpose of avoiding a “political dimension”— which was eventually revealed on Hunter Biden’s “laptop from Hell.” (Read more from “‘F—ing Spy Chief of China’: ‘Irregularities’ Found in DOJ Probe of Biden Associate” HERE)

WATCH: Biden Blankly Stares, Refuses to Answer Impeachment Inquiry Questions

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Joe Biden refused to answer — appearing to blankly stare into the distance — when questioned for the first time about the House impeachment inquiry about him for “abuse of power, obstruction, and corruption.”

During a meeting with his Cancer Cabinet in the White House, Joe Biden refused to answer questions about the inquiry, appearing to blankly stare, lick his lips, and rub his hands before leaning over to first lady Jill Biden.

The video showed Jill Biden point to her left, causing Joe Biden to scan the room while questions rang out from reporters for over 30 seconds about the newly launched inquiry.

After refusing to answer questions, White House staffers ushered reporters from the room:

US Household Incomes Have Fallen Precipitously Under Biden

/0 Comments/in , /by

The U.S. Census Bureau revealed Tuesday that American household incomes have dropped for a third consecutive year amid decades-high inflation and dwindling purchasing power.

The bureau’s new report, “Income in the United States: 2022,” indicated that real median household income after taxes fell 8.8% over the first two years that President Joe Biden was in office, while Democrats still controlled Congress.

During the same period, the poverty rate after taxes skyrocketed from 7.8% to 12.4%, and a significant number of Americans slid into the lowest quintile of earners. Over 37.9 million souls are presently living in poverty.

“We saw big increases in poverty across every sociodemographic group,” Luke Shaefer, a public policy professor at the University of Michigan, told Marketplace. “The biggest was among children. We saw child poverty more than double.” (Read more from “US Household Incomes Have Fallen Precipitously Under Biden” HERE)

Judge Blocks Part of New Mexico Order Restricting Gun Rights; Dem Governor Responds

/0 Comments/in , /by

A federal judge ruled against the emergency public health order, issued by Democrat Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham, repealing open and concealed carry rights in the largest county of New Mexico.

U.S. District Judge David Urias issued the judgment on Wednesday after numerous gun rights groups and advocates had filed lawsuits against the restrictions. The ruling temporarily suspends the order restricting gun rights until Oct. 3, when a hearing will be held to consider the merits of arguments for and against the ban.

Grisham released a statement on her official social media page about the ruling.

“Today a judge temporarily blocked sections of our public health order but recognized the significant problem of gun violence in this state. I refuse to be resigned to the status quo, and I will never stop fighting to prevent other families from enduring these tragedies,” she wrote.

“To be clear: gun violence and drug abuse are acute threats to public health and safety in this state,” Grisham continued. “We will stay the course by increasing State Police presence in Bernalillo County, arresting the hundreds of violent offenders with outstanding warrants still on our streets, and directing our healthcare system to immediately expand capacity to accept persons experiencing drug addiction and homelessness.” (Read more from “Judge Blocks Part of New Mexico Order Restricting Gun Rights; Dem Governor Responds” HERE)

Whaddya Know? Trump Was Right About Biden Family Corruption All Along

/0 Comments/in , /by

“The president should be held accountable,” then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said on Sept, 24, 2019, just short of four years ago, opening a formal impeachment inquiry into then-President Donald Trump over a telephone call he made to Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who had just been elected president of Ukraine. “No one is above the law.”

Mrs. Pelosi initiated the impeachment investigation without a formal vote on the House floor by her colleagues, worried that she may put some of her swing-district members in peril on what amounted to flimsy evidence (a secondhand account from a whistleblower in the intelligence community who was not even on Mr. Trump’s call) to mount a historically partisan inquiry to oust a duly elected president.

Democrats at the time, drenched in self-adulation and righteousness, argued that if they didn’t move forward in impeaching Mr. Trump over reports he pressured Ukraine to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden on corruption allegations, they would be betraying, in the words of Rep. John Lewis, the civil rights icon, “the foundation of our democracy.” (Read more from “Whaddya Know? Trump Was Right About Biden Family Corruption All Along” HERE)
