Irony: Jack Smith’s Team Admits Incorrectly Telling Court DOJ Turned Over All Materials

/0 Comments/in , /by

Special Counsel Jack Smith’s team admitted in a federal court filing in Miami this week that the government had not, in fact, given all of its evidence to the court for President Donald Trump’s defense team to review — the same thing Trump is alleged to have done.

Smith has charged Trump with 40 counts in the so-called “documents” case. Among them is the accusation that Trump caused his lawyers to tell the government that they had handed over all of the documents the government wanted, when in fact they had not.

The indictment against Trump alleges that he conspired with his staff to move boxes of documents, and to attempt to delete some video footage, without telling his attorneys, so that the final delivery of documents and video to the government was incomplete.

But in an ironic twist, Smith’s team had to admit to the court in a July 31 filing that it had not, in fact, uploaded all of the video footage that it had taken from Trump’s residence in Mar-a-Lago, Florida, to a platform established by the court for the defense to review it.

Kamala Harris Uses Biden’s Vacation Week to Audition for His Job

/0 Comments/in , /by

Vice President Kamala Harris is stepping into the spotlight while President Biden is on a summer beach vacation, embracing what critics say is her status as the de facto incumbent because of her boss’ advanced age.

Speaking to a supportive crowd in Orlando, Florida, she rejected Gov. Ron DeSantis‘ invite to discuss new school curricula that say some enslaved people used skills learned in captivity for their “personal benefit” later in life. Ms. Harris leaned directly into a debate over Black history that has dogged Mr. DeSantis‘ run for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination.

“Right here in Florida, they plan to teach students that enslaved people benefited from slavery,” Ms. Harris said. “I’m here in Florida, and I will tell you there is no roundtable, no lecture, no invitation we will accept to debate an undeniable fact: There were no redeeming qualities of slavery.”

Ms. Harris will step into the head-of-state role while Mr. Biden enjoys bike rides and other beach activities in Delaware. She is sitting down Wednesday with Mongolia’s prime minister, who is looking abroad to jump-start his country’s economic fortunes.

Ms. Harris will pivot to domestic politics Thursday with a trip to champion advancement in broadband access in Wisconsin — a key prize in the Electoral College — and meet with political supporters in Milwaukee.

This Candidate Says He Would Consider Banning TikTok if He Is Elected President

/0 Comments/in , /by

Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) suggested he would consider banning the popular social media platform TikTok if he were elected president in 2024, citing his concern for cybersecurity.

The platform, owned by the Beijing-based internet company ByteDance, has approximately 150 million users in the United States. DeSantis stated that he would not go as far as using the Restrict Act, which is a bipartisan measure giving the president permission to act against foreign software and services from adversaries of the U.S., according to the Wall Street Journal.

“I am inclined to not want TikTok in the United States,” said DeSantis. “I think it’s creating a security vulnerability for us. I think they are mining a lot of data.”

In discussing the ban, DeSantis claimed that TikTok is “very, very toxic” for children.

“At the end of the day, I don’t want ‘big brother’ to be getting into everybody’s apps,” said DeSantis. “It’s about vulnerabilities to our country.” (Read more from “This Candidate Says He Would Consider Banning TikTok if He Is Elected President” HERE)

US Spent Years Funding and Training the African Military That Just Overthrew Its US-Backed Gov’t

/0 Comments/in , /by

The United States has sunk $500 million over the last decade into training and equipping Niger’s armed forces, which have now overthrown the democratically-elected president of the country.

Nigerien armed forces declared that they removed President Mohamed Bazoum from power amid a coup that began last Wednesday, spearheaded by a general who studied at the Department of Defense-backed College of International Security Affairs, Reuters reported. The U.S. has spent $500 million on training and arming Nigerien soldiers and stationing more than 1,000 U.S. troops in the region, according to the U.S. Embassy in Niger.

Secretary of State Antony Blinken said over the weekend that the U.S. partnership with Niger is in “clear jeopardy.”

“Our economic and security partnership with Niger, which is significant, hundreds of millions of dollars, depends on the continuation of the democratic governance and constitutional order that has been disrupted by the actions in the last few days,” Blinken said at a press conference on Saturday. “So that assistance, that support, is in clear jeopardy as a result of these actions, which is another reason why they need to be immediately reversed.” (Read more from “US Spent Years Funding and Training the African Military That Just Overthrew Its US-Backed Gov’t HERE)

Biden’s DOJ Pushing for Hunter’s Former Business Partner to Go to Prison Days Before His ‘Bombshell Testimony,’ Comer: ‘This Is Obstruction of Justice’

/0 Comments/in , /by

By The Blaze. Just days before Hunter Biden’s former business partner is set to testify before the House Oversight Committee, President Joe Biden’s Department of Justice is pushing for Devon Archer to go to prison.

Devon Archer worked closely with Hunter Biden for years. Starting in 2009, the two co-founded the investment firm Rosemont Seneca alongside John Kerry’s stepson – Christopher Heinz.

In 2013, Archer and Biden partnered with Chinese private equity investor Jonathan Li to establish a China-backed investment fund called BHR Partners. The investment firm is supported by some of China’s largest financial institutions – including the Bank of China. . .

In 2014, Archer and Biden joined the board of Ukrainian natural gas firm Burisma Holdings.

Records also show that Archer visited the White House in 2009 for a “holiday reception,” then in 2011 for a “group tour,” and a meeting with then-Vice President Joe Biden in the West Wing on April 16, 2014 – just days before Hunter and Archer joined the Burisma board.

Candace Owens Sparks Controversy for Stating Women Are the Reason for ‘Societal Ill’ (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Candace Owens is raising eyebrows after a Daily Wire episode aired in which she denounces the role of women in society.

On Thursday, the controversial right-wing political commentator stated that Americans are in matriarchy and it is why she has been accused of being a misogynist.

The conversation began when the show’s guest, Andrew Tate, suggested that she imagine a society where people could control purely with emotional arguments. “We’re almost there,” he said.

She then responded: “This is why they accuse me of being an internalized misogynist because I’m able to think through and acknowledge the flaws of what happens in society when women get power. And if you want know what happens, look around you. Women fall for emotional arguments the entire time. They show us a commercial, you know, show — it’s so sad, and before they get to the rational aspects of it, they’re already invested emotionally. And I think that virtually every societal ill that we are facing today is because of women.”

She gave the recent example of the Bud Light controversy, in which trans people were dressed up as women. (Read more from “Candace Owens Sparks Controversy for Stating Women Are the Reason for ‘Societal Ill’” HERE)

House Oversight Members Confirm President Biden Was Present During Son’s Foreign Business Phone Calls (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

By Daily Wire. Hunter Biden’s former business partner reportedly confirmed to the House Oversight Committee that President Joe Biden was on more than twenty calls with his son during a closed-door hearing on Monday, where Republican members pressed for details about alleged foreign business dealings involving the president during his time in the Obama administration.

Devon Archer, who served as a director of Ukrainian energy company Burisma alongside Hunter Biden, reportedly ignored questions from the press as he walked into the O’Neill House Office Building. The committee was expected to interview Archer for approximately five hours, where Republican and Democrat members rotate between hour blocks to investigate the key witness, who has alleged Hunter put then-Vice President Joe Biden on speaker phone roughly two dozen times as Hunter spoke to his foreign business partners or investors, beginning in 2014.

Oversight member Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) told The Daily Mail that Archer said, “the Bidens were in the actual business of influence peddling.” . . .

“We have Devon Archer coming out and telling the truth that Hunter Biden and Joe Biden spoke over 20 times about his business deals, not about the weather, not about what was for lunch about his business deals,” Greene added.

Ex-Hunter Biden Partner Devon Archer Testifies Joe Biden Was on Calls With Foreign Patrons ‘For the Brand’

By New York Post. . .A source familiar with Archer’s nearly four-hour closed-door interview said that Archer testified that Ukrainian natural gas company Burisma Holdings added Hunter to its board in early 2014 because of the Biden “brand” as his dad led US policy toward Ukraine.

Archer also stated that Burisma owner Mykola Zlochevsky — who allegedly told an FBI informant he was “coerced” to pay $10 million in bribes to Hunter and then-Vice President Joe Biden — and company executive Vadym Pozharskyi in late 2015 put intense pressure on Hunter to enlist the US government to help oust Ukrainian prosecutor-general Viktor Shokin, who had investigated Burisma for corruption.

He said he witnessed the then-second son, Zlochevsky and Pozharskyi step away as they “called DC” to discuss the issue, the source said — without specifying what, if anything, Archer said about the recently surfaced bribery allegation.

Archer also said Hunter Biden put his father on speakerphone more than 20 times during business meetings to promote “the brand” — including at a Paris dinner with reps from a French energy company and while in China with Jonathan Li of BHR Partners, a state-backed investment fund co-founded by Hunter in 2013 after he introduced his father to Li in Beijing during an official trip.

Archer further confirmed that then-Vice President Biden attended an April 2015 dinner at Washington’s Cafe Milano with Pozharskyi and former Moscow first lady Yelena Baturina, as previously reported by The Post.

WATCH: Joe Rogan Suggests Intelligence Agencies Provoked Capitol Riot

/0 Comments/in , /by

Comedian and podcast host Joe Rogan alleged that members of domestic intelligence agencies encouraged and provoked Americans to storm the Capitol during the Jan. 6, 2021, riot.

“The intelligence agencies were involved and provoking people to go into the Capitol Building. That’s a fact,” Rogan told comedian Jim Gaffigan on a Friday episode of The Joe Rogan Experience.

Gaffigan asked if Rogan believed that Ray Epps was an agent for an intelligence agency.

“I don’t know,” Rogan replied. “But, I do know that every other … person who was involved in Jan. 6, who was involved in coordinating a break-in in the Capitol and instigating people breaking in, they were all arrested … this guy wasn’t.”

Biden’s ‘My Son Has Not Made Money on China’ Debate Lie Isn’t Looking Too Good Right Now

/0 Comments/in , /by

In the months leading up to the 2020 election, President Joe Biden denied on multiple occasions that he ever discussed business with his son.

One of Joe’s most infamous and specific lies was, “My son has not made money in terms of this thing about — what are you talking about — China,” which he delivered from the stage during the second presidential debate in October 2020.

Five days before the debate, the New York Post reported on emails from Hunter’s abandoned laptop detailing how the younger Biden pursued business deals with one of China’s largest energy companies in an attempt to cash in “for me and my family.”

The Post also uncovered evidence that some of these arrangements involve a “big guy” who sounded an awful lot like then-Vice President Joe. Hunter was going to get this mysterious man to exchange political favors for millions of dollars, a fact which was later corroborated by a highly credible confidential human source.

When former President Donald Trump brought up the “laptop from hell” onstage on October 20, Biden countered with conspiracies that the laptop was Russian disinformation. Biden, Hunter, and the FBI knew this was a lie but proceeded to tout it for months after the election anyway.

Zoo Swears Its Bears Are Real After People Claim They Are Humans in Disguise (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

A Chinese zoo hit back Monday against allegations that its sun bears are actually humans in costume.

Some had argued the bears weren’t real based on how they stood up like humans, the Associated Press (AP) reported. A spokesperson from the Hangzhou Zoo in eastern China took to social media to craft a post from the Sun Bear’s point of view.

“Some people think I stand like a person,” the post from the zoo read, according to AP. “It seems you don’t understand me very well.” The post also noted the zoo’s Malaysian sun bears are much smaller than other kinds of bears.

Netizens challenged the legitimacy of the bears on display at the zoo, arguing they resembled the way humans stand up with their slim legs. Others commented that the bear looked man-like due to the folds on its coat resembling a “loose-fitted costume,” SAYS.com reported, citing Chinese outlet Zhejiang News.
