Biden-Appointed U.S. Attorneys Declined to Collaborate on Hunter Biden Investigation

/0 Comments/in , /by

Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss, special counsel in the ongoing Hunter Biden investigation, confirmed two President Joe Biden-appointed U.S. Attorneys declined to work with him on the case.

Weiss testified before the House Judiciary Committee on Nov. 7 and described how Biden-appointed U.S. Attorneys Matthew Graves of the District of Columbia and E. Martin Estrada of the Central District of California rejected his requests to partner on the Hunter Biden case, according to a transcript reviewed by the Daily Caller.

Weiss recalled reaching out to Graves in early March 2022 about partnering on the Hunter Biden case. The two had a five to 10 minute call about the investigation where Weiss briefed Graves.

“I had never met or spoken with Mr. Graves before. I explained the situation. I talked a little bit about the investigation, some of the background of the investigation,” Weiss said of the call, according to a transcript reviewed by the Daily Caller.

“He was — you know, he was receptive. Like I said, we agreed that my criminal chief, I think, would reach out to his, and we would move forward,” Weiss added after a follow up question. (Read more from “Biden-Appointed U.S. Attorneys Declined to Collaborate on Hunter Biden Investigation” HERE)

Biden Admin Considering Giving Iran Access to Another $10 Billion

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Biden administration — through the State Department specifically — is reportedly considering issuing a waiver to Iran that would allow access to another $10 billion worth of previously frozen cash, this time held in Iraq.

This alarming development comes after the Biden administration — in the days before Iran-backed Hamas terrorists launched their October 7 slaughter of Israelis — unfroze billions of dollars for Iran as part of a questionable prisoner swap arrangement. Since that deal was made, Iranian proxies have continued to launch attacks at Israel as well as U.S. troops in the Middle East, wounding dozens of American service members.

More on the inexplicable situation from the Washington Free Beacon and FDD Senior Advisor Richard Goldberg:

The Biden administration may approve a sanctions waiver on Tuesday that will allow Iran to access at least $10 billion in previously frozen funds held in Iraq, a closely watched decision that comes just a month after the Tehran-backed terror group Hamas launched an attack on Israel that left 1,200 dead.

The waiver would extend the multibillion-dollar sanctions relief first issued in July that expires tomorrow. It allows Iraq to transfer frozen electricity payments into Iranian-owned bank accounts in Europe and Oman. The waiver renewal is driving concerns that the Biden administration is maintaining financial avenues for Tehran as the country’s terrorist proxies foment chaos across the Middle East.

“The world is living in a post-Oct. 7 world, but the White House is still running an Oct. 6 policy toward Iran,” Richard Goldberg, a senior adviser at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies and sanctions expert who previously served on the White House National Security Council, told the Washington Free Beacon, referring to Hamas’s attack last month. “Why should Iran have any access to more than $10 billion after sponsoring one of the worst terrorist attacks against American citizens and the worst massacre of Jews since the Holocaust? It would make more sense to freeze all of these accounts and keep every penny out of Tehran’s hands.”

Famous Muslim-Turned-Atheist Now Says Jesus Is the Only Answer

/0 Comments/in , /by

A former Muslim Brotherhood acolyte who became an atheist has explained in an online column why it is Christianity – and Christianity alone – that holds the answer in today’s turmoil- and threat-filled world.

“The ‘God hole’ – the void left by the retreat of the church – has merely been filled by a jumble of irrational quasi-religious dogma. The result is a world where modern cults prey on the dislocated masses, offering them spurious reasons for being and action — mostly by engaging in virtue-signaling theater on behalf of a victimised minority or our supposedly doomed planet. The line often attributed to G.K. Chesterton has turned into a prophecy: ‘When men choose not to believe in God, they do not thereafter believe in nothing, they then become capable of believing in anything,'” explained Ayaan Hirsi Ali in a column at unherd.

Ali, a research fellow at Stanford’s Hoover Institution, continued, “In this nihilistic vacuum, the challenge before us becomes civilisational. We can’t withstand China, Russia and Iran if we can’t explain to our populations why it matters that we do. We can’t fight woke ideology if we can’t defend the civilisation that it is determined to destroy. And we can’t counter Islamism with purely secular tools. To win the hearts and minds of Muslims here in the West, we have to offer them something more than videos on TikTok.

“The lesson I learned from my years with the Muslim Brotherhood was the power of a unifying story, embedded in the foundational texts of Islam, to attract, engage and mobilise the Muslim masses. Unless we offer something as meaningful, I fear the erosion of our civilisation will continue. And fortunately, there is no need to look for some new-age concoction of medication and mindfulness. Christianity has it all.” . . .

But Islam failed her and atheism offered “a simple, zero-cost escape from an unbearable life of self-denial and harassment of other people.” (Read more from “Famous Muslim-Turned-Atheist Now Says Jesus Is the Only Answer” HERE)

This Retailer Won’t Let Cops Arrest Shoplifters

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Target, a retailer that long has been socially progressive to the point of promoting controversial alternative lifestyle choices, has been in the headlines in recent months for those actions. . .

Now there’s a new report out that Target has gone extreme on yet another social agenda – the leftist agenda that includes essentially ignoring crimes like shoplifting.

Multiple George Soros-backed prosecutors have adopted that plan in recent months, to the point some have even declared they’ll not prosecute such thefts under, say, about $900.

It is the Epoch Times that is reporting sheriff Jim Cooper, serving residents of the far-left Sacramento County, accused Target of preventing deputies from apprehending shoplifters.

That’s despite the company’s request for help in curbing an explosion in the number of retail crime cases.

WATCH: Crowd Erupts When Donald Trump, Tucker Carlson and Kid Rock Show Up Together at UFC Fight

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Donald Trump is such a boss!

The former president was an absolute superstar Saturday night when he showed up at UFC 295 at Madison Square Garden. His epic entourage included Tucker Carlson, Kid Rock and Donald Trump Jr. With Carlson in particular, this is happening in the middle of speculation he could potentially be Trump‘s pick for vice president in his 2024 campaign to return to the White House.

On top of all that, they were all gloriously escorted into the arena by Dana White, and in the process of all this, the crowd was going outright bonkers.

It was something you would see at a rock concert — it was incredible.

Consumption of This Popular Fruit May Reduce Dementia Risk: Study

/0 Comments/in , , /by

. . .University of Cincinnati researchers claim that eating strawberries every day could help reduce the risk of dementia for certain people of middle age. Their findings were published last month in the journal Nutrients.

In the 12-week study, 30 overweight patients who had complained of mild cognitive impairment were asked to abstain from eating berries — except for a daily packet of supplement powder mixed with water and consumed with breakfast.

Half the participants, who were 50 to 65 years old, received a powder with the equivalent of one cup of whole strawberries (the standard serving size), while the other half got a placebo.

The researchers tracked the participants’ long-term memory, mood, and metabolic health.

They found that those in the strawberry powder group performed better on a word-list learning test and had a significant reduction in depressive symptoms. (Read more from “Consumption of This Popular Fruit May Reduce Dementia Risk: Study” HERE)

Biden Rips ‘Prick’ Ex-Obama Guru as 2024 Tensions Grow: Report

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Biden has disparaged veteran Democratic political strategist David Axelrod as a “prick” for questioning whether the commander-in-chief should seek a second term — as a spate of polling shows the incumbent losing next year to former President Donald Trump.

The 80-year-old Biden’s hot temper and penchant for profanity are open secrets in Washington, and his disparagement of Axelrod — as reported Monday by Politico columnist Jonathan Martin — is the latest sign of strife between Biden loyalists and veterans of the Barack Obama administration.

Axelrod, best known for masterminding Obama’s election victories in 2008 and 2012, initially stated that Biden should consider his position earlier this month, after a New York Times/Siena College poll showed Biden losing to Trump, 77, in five of six states likely to decide the outcome of the 2024 vote. . .

On CNN’s “State of the Union” Sunday, Axelrod insisted that he was not telling Biden to drop out of the 2024 race, merely that he “ought to think about it.”

“I have no concerns about polls a year out. I mean, you have to look at them and analyze them and adjust,” he said. “But I was in a situation as a strategist for Barack Obama in 2011 where we were facing some difficult polls.

House Rejects Move to Force Impeachment Vote on DHS Secretary Mayorkas

/0 Comments/in , /by

House lawmakers rejected an effort to force a vote on impeaching Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas on Monday, instead referring the resolution introduced by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) to the House Homeland Security Committee.

Eight Republicans joined all Democrats in the 209-201 vote to send the impeachment resolution to the House panel, which is already probing Mayorkas over his handling of the crisis at the southern border.

“Impeachment articles against Mayorkas have been collecting dust in committee for months. It’s time to move the vote to the House floor, not send it back to committee,” Greene argued in an X post moments before the vote.

Voting against the impeachment effort were Republican Reps. Ken Buck (R-Colo.), Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), Tom McClintock (R-Calif.), Patrick McHenry (R-N.C.), John Duarte (R-Calif.), Virginia Foxx (R-N.C.), Cliff Bentz (R-Ore.) and Mike Turner (R-Ohio). . .

The lower chamber was forced to vote on Greene’s measure after she introduced it on the House floor Thursday as a “privileged resolution,” forcing leadership to take action on the legislation within two legislative days.

Contradictions Arise as U.S. Official Confirms Hamas Command Headquarters under Hospital in Gaza

/0 Comments/in , /by

At roughly 1:30 Eastern Time on Monday, CNN reported a U.S. official confirmed what was widely suspected: Hamas has command headquarters underneath Al-Shifa hospital in Gaza, which has been encircled by Israel Defense Forces.

At the same time, President Biden told reporters that the hospital “must be protected.”

“A US official with knowledge of American intelligence says Hamas has a command node under the Al-Shifa hospital, uses fuel intended for it and its fighters regularly cluster in and around Gaza’s largest hospital,” CNN reported, adding, “Hamas and hospital officials have denied the accusation that the hospital is being used as a command center.”

That followed National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan stating on Sunday, “You can see even from open-source reporting that Hamas does use hospitals, along with a lot of other civilian facilities, for command-and-control, for storing weapons, for housing its fighters. Without getting into this specific hospital or that specific claim, this is Hamas’ track record, both historically and in this conflict.”

Yet as the White House confirmed that Hamas has command headquarters under the hospital, Biden told reporters at the White House, “It’s my hope and expectation that there will be less intrusive action relative to the hospital. The hospital must be protected.” (Read more from “Contradictions Arise as U.S. Official Confirms Hamas Command Headquarters under Hospital in Gaza” HERE)

FBI Whistleblower Calls House GOP ‘Soulless Demons’ After Voting to Give the Agency a New $300 Million HQ

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The FBI whistleblower has called House Republicans “soulless demons” after they voted for funds for a new FBI headquarters, and have not taken steps to reform the troubled bureau.

In a tweet posted on X, Thursday, November 9, whistleblower Steve Friend called out the House GOP after they voted to give the FBI a new $300 million headquarters.

“Last year, I brought protected whistleblower disclosures about FBI weaponization to House GOP. They used it to go on TV and get elected. I lost my career and am under FBI investigation. Today the House GOP voted to give the FBI a $300 million HQ. Soulless demons. Go to hell,” Friend posted on X.

Friend claimed when 70 House Republicans voted to approve the $300 million towards the construction of a new FBI headquarters in Greenbelt, Maryland, it was a direct contradiction of a commitment made to him by Rep. Jim Jordan (R.-Ohio), the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee.

“People who swore to lay down their lives for America have questionable loyalty to the country? They are purging and rebuilding an FBI with people willing to roll over their own countrymen,” Friend said on X.
