Shocker: Hunter Biden Tied to Chinese Company That Bought Oil Joe Released

/0 Comments/in , /by

There really seems to be no limit to the convolutions that develop when the Biden family works on its international business schemes.

Probably one of the most famous was when Joe Biden was vice president and traveled to Ukraine for Barack Obama. At that time Hunter Biden was taking in tens of thousands of dollars a month from a Ukrainian company under investigation for corruption. . .

Now the Free Beacon is reporting that some of that oil Joe Biden released from America’s Strategic Petroleum Reserve, ostensibly to help American consumers with sky-high gasoline prices brought on by his energy and economic policies, was sold to a Chinese company.

A Chinese company in which Hunter Biden has interests, the report said.

It’s through Hunter Biden’s links to Sinopec, in which he, through an equity firm, previously bought a $1.7 billion stake.

This Dem State Senator Says She Focuses on ‘Real Issues’—Like Twerking

/0 Comments/in , /by

Democratic Rhode Island state senator Tiara Mack on Thursday posted a series of flyers saying she will “twerk for trans rights,” among other reasons.

Mack was responding to a video posted on Monday by influential Twitter account “Libs of TikTok” that shows the state senator “twerking”—dancing in a provocative manner that involves shaking her butt and thrusting her hips. Mack in response blasted “the media” for “trying not to cover the real issues.”

“Not on MY watch,” she wrote. “I #TwerkFor joy, abortion justice, body autonomy, trans rights, and intersex rights.” She then posted the flyers.

While Mack will likely win reelection in her heavily Democratic state Senate district, Democrats face a surprisingly tough race in one of the deep-blue state’s congressional districts. Republican Allan Fung is polling ahead of all potential Democratic nominees in Rhode Island’s Second Congressional District, a seat the GOP has not held for 30 years. The Rhode Island Republican Party is using the Mack controversy to fundraise. (Read more from “This Dem State Senator Says She Focuses on ‘Real Issues’—Like Twerking” HERE)

Former Japan PM Assassinated; Shot During Speech; Japan: One of World’s Most Gun-Controlled Countries

/0 Comments/in , /by

By Breitbart. Eyewitnesses described Friday’s assassination of Japan’s former Prime Minister Abe Shinzo as a scene of utter chaos, saying onlookers of the attack fainted in shock as pieces of plastic debris flew off of the still-unidentified weapon used to kill him.

Abe, Japan’s longest-serving prime minister, died on Friday in the city of Nara after a man now identified as 41-year-old Yamagami Tetsuya shot him with what Japanese media indicate at press time appeared to be a homemade firearm. Doctors reported that Abe suffered cardiac arrest as a result of wounds in his neck. He was 67 years old.

Abe, of the long-ruling conservative Liberal Democratic Party (LDP), left a legacy of advocating for Japan to take on a larger international role, including expanding its minimal defense capabilities and investing in a closer relationship with America.

Shortly before his death, Abe spent much of his public time following his resignation in 2020 warning that world must act to contain the threat of Chinese communism and urging America to expand its support for the nation of Taiwan, which China routinely threatens to invade. Chinese media outlets threatened “routine” military exercises around Japan as recently as Wednesday in response to the LDP’s concerns about Beijing’s belligerence.

Police have yet to reveal a motive for the shooting at press time, though Japanese newspapers report that Yamagami told police he intended to kill Abe because he was “dissatisfied” with his political performance. Some reports indicate that Yamagami also gave police other unrelated information, such as a claim that he wanted to kill an unnamed “religious” leader, instead of or in addition to Abe.

Japan: One of World’s Most Gun-Controlled Countries Bans ‘Assault Weapons,’ Handguns, and Private Gun Sales

By Breitbart. Japan has some of the most “restrictive” gun controls in the world – legal provisions that appeared not to prevent the assassination of former Prime Minister Abe Shinzo at the hands of an apparent lone gunman on Friday. . .

Japan has some of the most stringent gun controls in the world.

The University of Sydney’s gunpolicy.org labels Japan’s gun controls as “restrictive” and notes they include an handgun ban, an “assault weapons” ban, and a ban on private gun sales.

Certain rifles and shotguns are the only guns that the Japanese people are allowed to own, but the process to legally obtain one of those is arduous. For example, a would-be rifle or shotgun owner must first acquire a gun owner’s license and that process includes passage of a criminal and mental health background check, including third-party character references.

Moreover, the would-be gun owner’s family history is searched to ensure no proclivity to violence. (Read more from “Japan: One of World’s Most Gun-Controlled Countries Bans ‘Assault Weapons,’ Handguns, and Private Gun Sales” HERE)

Biden Awards the Medal of Freedom to a Woman Who Hates America

/0 Comments/in , /by

At the White House Thursday afternoon President Joe Biden awarded Megan Rapinoe, the co-captain of the U.S. national women’s soccer team, the Medal of Freedom. During remarks, he praised her as one of the greatest athletes of all-time.

While there’s no doubt Rapinoe is one of the best female athletes in the world, she also hates the United States of America. She has repeatedly stood on foreign soil while refusing to participate in the National Anthem before games — all while representing Team USA.

Musk to Take ‘Potentially Drastic Action’ as Twitter Buyout ‘in Serious Jeopardy’; Twitter Makes Major Cuts

/0 Comments/in , /by

Elon Musk‘s $44 billion bid to for Twitter is in serious jeopardy and the billionaire is reportedly reviewing his options after his team accused the social media platform of not disclosing enough information about spam accounts.

The Washington Post reported that Musk’s team has stopped engaging in discussions with investors about the funding behind the purchase because they believe that the spam figures provided by the company are incomplete.

The newspaper reported that Musk’s team has determined Twitter’s figures on spam accounts cannot be verified with available information, leaving its true number of active daily users a mystery. Musk’s team is poised to take “potentially drastic action,” the report said.

A change in direction from Musk’s team could be looming, although the source who spoke to the newspaper did not offer a timeframe.

Twitter simultaneously said on Thursday that it had let go of 30% of its talent acquisition team amid the potential Musk takeover. (Read more from “Musk to Take ‘Potentially Drastic Action’ as Twitter Buyout ‘in Serious Jeopardy’; Twitter Makes Major Cuts” HERE)

Youth ‘Community Organizer’ Drag Queen Charged With Child Porn

/0 Comments/in , /by

Multiple times already, various judicial authorities have brought criminal charges against those drag queen personalities who frequently are given the run of public libraries, or even schools, to read stories of sexual deviance to children.

Now, a case has appeared that involves “one of Pennsylvania’s popular drag queens,” according to a report at The Gateway Pundit.

The report said the state attorney general’s office has accused a “community organizer,” Brice Williams, who performs under the stage name Anastasia Diamond, of downloading dozens of illegal photos and images.

Fox 43 in the state reports Williams apparently was a “community activist for LGBTQ+ youth in the Harrisburg area.”

Police accused him of having at least 49 photos and 25 videos “of naked, prepubescent boys.” (Read more from “Youth ‘Community Organizer’ Drag Queen Charged With Child Porn” HERE)

Wisconsin Supreme Court: No, You Can’t Use a Transgender Name Change to Duck Sex Offender Registry

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Wisconsin Supreme Court ruled Thursday that the state’s ban on name changes for people on the sex offender registry still applied to a transgender offender seeking to adopt a female name, according to The Associated Press.

The sex offender, referred to only as “Ella” in court records, was six feet and five inches tall and over 300 pounds at fifteen years old when he was convicted of sexually assaulting a disabled 14-year-old boy, according to the AP. Seven years later, the offender now identifies as a transgender woman and is seeking to legally adopt a female name and dodge the sex offender registry.

The court ruled 4-3 to uphold lower court rulings declining the sex offender’s requests for a legal name change to no longer be required to register as a sex offender. Ella is about halfway through a 15-year registry requirement.

Wisconsin bans those on the sex offender registry from changing their names or using aliases that are not also listed on the registry, according to the AP. Ella’s lawyers argued that this prohibition violated the offender’s First Amendment rights and was a form of cruel and unusual punishment prohibited under the Eighth Amendment.

Louisiana Supreme Court Allows Abortions to Remain Legal Despite ‘Trigger Law’

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Louisiana Supreme Court refused to overturn a lower court ruling preventing the state from enforcing its ban on abortion.

In a 4-2 ruling late Wednesday, the majority of justices said the court will decline to be involved “at this preliminary stage” in denying the state attorney general’s request to allow immediate enforcement of state laws against most abortions.

The decision allows a lower court ruling that blocked enforcement of the state’s “trigger law” to stand. A district court judge last week imposed a temporary stay on enforcement following a legal challenge from abortion providers in the state who argued the law was overly vague.

The lower court ruling will remain in place as abortion providers make their case in court on Friday. (Read more from “Louisiana Supreme Court Allows Abortions to Remain Legal Despite ‘Trigger Law’” HERE)

Mortgage Rates Have Biggest Weekly Drop Since 2008

/0 Comments/in , /by

Mortgage rates just posted their biggest weekly plunge since the 2008 financial crisis while the red-hot housing market appears to be cooling off.

Mortgage rates rose quickly as the Federal Reserve began hiking interest rates to combat inflation, although last week, they steeply fell off. The average rate on a 30-year loan is now at 5.3%, down from 5.7% last week, Freddie Mac announced on Thursday.

The government-sponsored housing enterprise pointed out in a statement that concerns about a recession continue to percolate as the rate plunges.

“While the drop provides minor relief to buyers, the housing market will continue to normalize if home price growth materially slows due to the combination of low housing affordability and an expected economic slowdown,” the statement said.
