DOJ Charges Informant Who Provided FBI Details About Alleged Bribery Scheme Involving Burisma, Bidens

The Department of Justice (DOJ) charged a FBI informant Thursday who provided details about an alleged bribery scheme involving Hunter Biden, Joe Biden and Burisma, a Ukrainian energy company.

Special counsel David Weiss indicted Alexander Smirnov, the confidential human source (CHS) who told the FBI in 2020 about alleged corruption involving Burisma and the two Bidens, on one count of making a false statement and one count of creating a false and fictitious record. Smirnov told the FBI that Burisma executives had discussed paying millions of dollars to Hunter and Joe Biden in order to ensure that Joe Biden would use his political clout to protect the company’s interests.

The indictment asserts that Smirnov only made contact with Burisma executives in 2017, after Biden’s stint as vice president concluded and after the Ukrainian investigator probing Burisma had lost his job, according to the indictment.

“The indictment alleges that [Smirnov] transformed his routine and unextraordinary business contacts with Burisma in 2017 and later into bribery allegations against [President Biden] after expressing bias against [Biden] and his presidential candidacy,” Weiss’ office said in a statement announcing the charges.

In 2020, Smirnov told the FBI that Burisma executives had told him in 2015 and 2016 that they hired Hunter Biden to the company’s board to “protect us, through his dad, from all kinds of problems.” Joe Biden was leading Ukraine policy for the Obama administration at that time, and has subsequently boasted that he got a Ukrainian prosecutor, who was investigating the company for corruption, fired after he threatened to withhold approximately $1 billion in aid for Ukraine.

Biden Admin Wants More Black Veterans Declared Mentally Disabled in the Name of ‘Equity’

A new “equity” initiative in the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) aims to declare more black people to be mentally disabled.

Black veterans currently receive disability payments for mental health conditions at nearly twice the rate of whites. But the Biden administration’s Equity Assessment and Action Steps for Mental Health Compensation Benefits, released Wednesday, said that to attain “equity,” that number needs to be even higher.

“A higher percentage of Black Veterans currently receive disability compensation benefits than white Veterans for mental health conditions (21.7% vs. 12.7%),” the assessment said. “On average, Black Veterans also apply for disability compensation at higher rates and receive slightly higher disability ratings from VA than white Veterans. However, Black Veterans have lower grant rates than white Veterans for mental health conditions (70.3% vs. 76.0%). … In response to these new findings, VA will [be] taking immediate and aggressive action to eliminate this gap and ensure that Black Veterans get the benefits they deserve.”

The justification uses a tortured logic in which, although there is a large discrepancy in blacks’ favor when it comes to actually being granted government disability checks, the Biden administration sliced the numbers until they found a secondary metric in which blacks were slightly behind: The percentage who apply for disability but are deemed ineligible.

Poll: 6-In-7 Voters Say Only Americans Should Vote in U.S. Elections

The overwhelming majority of general election voters say only American citizens should be allowed to vote in United States elections, a new poll exclusively shared with Breitbart News finds.

“We are just months away from one of the most important elections in our lifetime, and the security of those elections is under siege from an invasion of foreigners crossing our borders illegally,” Tea Party Patriots’ Jenny Beth Martin told Breitbart News. “Some of them could ultimately vote in our elections with few barriers stopping them.”

The poll, commissioned for Tea Party Patriots Action by McLaughlin & Associates, finds that 85.5 percent of voters said only American citizens ought to be allowed to vote in U.S. elections — even those at the municipal level.

Meanwhile, just 1-in-10 voters said U.S. elections should not be closed to only American citizens, and about four percent said they were unsure.

“It’s simple, Americans want to protect American democracy and American elections from the foreign interference of allowing noncitizens to vote,” pollster John McLaughlin said. “American voters want to protect their vote from being canceled out by the vote of noncitizens.” (Read more from “Poll: 6-In-7 Voters Say Only Americans Should Vote in U.S. Elections” HERE)

Top Republican Urges Biden To Declassify New Intel On ‘Destabilizing Foreign Military Capability’

By Daily Wire. House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Turner (R-OH) released a statement on Wednesday calling for President Joe Biden to immediately declassify newly discovered information about a “destabilizing” military capability from a hostile foreign power.

Turner said in a message to House members that the Intelligence Committee “has identified an urgent matter with regard to a destabilizing foreign military capability that should be known by all Congressional Policy Makers.”

He said in a subsequent statement that while all House members are able to view some of the information about the “serious national security threat,” he wants Biden to “declassify all information relating to this threat so that Congress, the Administration, and our allies can openly discuss the actions necessary to respond to this threat.”

CNN reported that multiple sources have indicated that the intelligence is “very sensitive.”

One source who reportedly saw the intelligence told the network “it is, in fact, a highly concerning and destabilizing” Russian capability “that we were recently made aware of.” (Read more from “Top Republican Urges Biden To Declassify New Intel On ‘Destabilizing Foreign Military Capability’” HERE)

U.S. Has New Intelligence on Russian Nuclear Capabilities in Space

By CNN. The US has new intelligence on Russian military capabilities related to its efforts to deploy a nuclear anti-satellite system in space, according to multiple sources familiar with the intelligence.

The intelligence was briefed to Congress and key US allies, and some lawmakers say it is serious enough that it should be declassified and made public. While the intelligence is concerning, multiple senior members of Congress briefed on the information on Wednesday emphasized that it does not pose an immediate threat to the US or its interests.

The system remains under development and is not yet in orbit, according to three US officials familiar with the intelligence. It’s not clear how far the technology has progressed, one of the officials said. A separate US official told CNN the threat does not involve a weapon that would be used to attack humans. . .

While members of Congress downplayed the immediacy of the threat, an anti-satellite weapon placed in orbit around Earth would pose a significant danger to US nuclear command and control satellites, said Hans Kristensen, director of the Nuclear Information Project at the Federation of American Scientists. The US relies on such satellites – which he called “essential” – to ensure constant, seamless control over its nuclear arsenal.

Meet the ‘Badass’ Lawyer Who Could Blow up Trump Racketeering Case Over Fani Willis’ Sex Secrets

Ashleigh Merchant never stops running — and that has embattled Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis running scared.

The “badass” Georgia criminal defense attorney, 46, who runs marathons in her spare time, will be front and center at a hearing in Atlanta Thursday that could upend the sprawling election meddling and racketeering case against former President Donald Trump and others.

In August, a Fulton County grand jury returned a 41-count indictment accusing Trump and 18 co-defendants of plotting to reverse the former president’s 2020 electoral loss in Georgia. Willis has been leading the investigation.

Then Merchant filed a bombshell motion on January 8 on behalf of her client, GOP political operative Mike Roman, 52, alleging that Willis had an “improper” and “clandestine” relationship with Nathan Wade, whom Willis appointed as a special prosecutor — and demanding that Willis’ charges against Roman be dropped.

Merchant, who was just sworn in as president of the Georgia Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, argued that Willis should be disqualified from the case because “the district attorney chose to appoint her romantic partner, who at all times relevant to this prosecution has been a married man.” (Read more from “Meet the ‘Badass’ Lawyer Who Could Blow up Trump Racketeering Case Over Fani Willis’ Sex Secrets” HERE)

Mayor Issues Stark Warning as Illegal Alien Crisis Engulfs America’s Biggest City

Mayor Eric Adams stressed with a sense of urgency that New York City has run ‘out of room,’ as the escalating migrant crisis engulfs not only the Big Apple, but other major cities across the U.S.

“Our hearts are endless, but our resources are not,” the NYC mayor recently told Fox Nation. “It’s not like New York is not saying we are not a city of immigrants. We are. We have a rich history of immigrants, but we can’t take the global problem and it become our problem. That is unfair to New Yorkers, and is unfair to migrants.”

Thanks to New York City’s sanctuary city policies, Eric Adams faces a predicament – the city is bursting at the seams and is struggling to find places to house everyone yet – thanks to these policies – he is unable to hand migrants who are repeat offenders over to I.C.E.

Thanks to a “right to shelter” rule enacted in the 1980s, he is also legally required to house everyone.

Sitting down with FOX 5 New York’s Rosanna Scotto for an interview featured on the Fox Nation special, “The Sanctuary Trap,” Adams pressed the point that NYC’s resources are strained, and that everything has reached capacity.

Preschool Teacher Fired After Her OnlyFans Account Was Discovered…but That’s Not the Worst Part

A preschool teacher in Massachusetts was reportedly fired from her job after the superintendent received photos of the teacher creating content for her OnlyFans account on school grounds, according to a report from Fox News.

OnlyFans is a platform where users can post pornographic content and charge subscribers to see it.

Reportedly, Libs of TikTok contacted Wolf Swamp Road School in Longmeadow, Massachusetts to inform them that their preschool teacher, Brenna Percy, filmed “adult content” in a school bathroom. Libs of TikTok had reportedly received a tip about the teacher’s OnlyFans account (via Fox News):

In one photo, Percy appears to have posted a photograph of herself in a school bathroom with her chest exposed alongside the caption, “naughty at work.”

“My jaw is on my desk,” the secretary reportedly told Libs of TikTok when contacted with the information.

The school’s superintendent told Libs of TikTok in a follow-up call that Percy “no longer works for Longmeadow Public Schools.” She has since been removed from the Wolf Swamp Road School staff member section on their website.

‘I Am So F**king Tired’: Dana White Storms Out Of Interview, Leaves Famous Host Stunned

A clip shared Tuesday by Howie Mandel showed the moment UFC president Dana White stormed out of an interview on the “Howie Mandel Does Stuff” podcast.

The minute-long clip shared by Mandel starts really well. Mandel showers White with praise, saying, “Dana White, you are an amazing guy. I can’t thank you enough for being here.” Mandel went on to call White an “amazing businessman,” “inspiration,” and “philosopher,” to the point where Mandel admitted to being jealous of White’s career.

“Thank you for all the kind words, I appreciate it,” White replied. “I am so f**king tired of doing podcasts. I’m literally done with them. I’m not doing any more podcasts.” With that, White got to his feet and straight-up walked out of the interview as Mandel watched, his jaw on the floor.

While no real reason was given for White’s abrupt departure, some online sleuths believe the whole thing was a stunt designed to get people to actually watch Mandel’s podcast (because apparently no one does), Sportskeeda reported. Then again, maybe the answer as to why White bailed is the simplest. What if he’s just really, really sick of podcasts?

U.S. ‘Full of Failing, Gutless Mothers and Fathers’: High School Boy Defeats Girls in High Jump Competition

A boy who is a high school sophomore took first place in the girls’ high jump competition at the New Hampshire Interscholastic Athletic Association (NHIAA) indoor track and field championship.

Maelle Jacques, who celebrated as a female competitor failed to match his winning jump, jumped 5’2”, one inch higher than any girl but roughly a foot lower than the winning jump in the boys’ competition. . .

The NHIAA has an eligibility policy that asserts, “The NHIAA is committed to providing transgender student-athletes with equal opportunities to participate in NHIAA athletic programs consistent with their gender identity. The NHIAA has concluded that it would be fundamentally unjust and contrary to applicable state and federal law to preclude a student from participation on a gender-specific sports team that is consistent with the public gender identity of that student for all other purposes.”

The organization that oversees the track competition reportedly allows athletes to compete in whatever division they want.

Shannon McGinley, executive director of Cornerstone Action, said, “If school boards feared their constituents more than they feared [law firm] Drummond Woodsum and leftist superintendents, in a matter of months, we could have half the school districts in the state organized into an alternative NHIAA. The solution is for parents to stop accepting cowardly excuses from school board members who ran as conservative.” (Read more from “U.S. ‘Full of Failing, Gutless Mothers and Fathers’: High School Boy Defeats Girls in High Jump Competition” HERE)

Biden Business Partner Claims Joe Wasn’t Involved After Telling The FBI He Was

“Joe Biden was never a part of anything we did,” Hunter Biden’s former business partner Rob Walker told the House Oversight and Judiciary Committees during a closed-door interview in late January. While Walker remained adamant on that point, the transcript of his testimony released on Tuesday calls into question the veracity of Walker’s claims and further cements the influence-peddling case against Joe Biden. . .

“To be clear, President Biden, while in office or as a private citizen, was never involved in any business activities we pursued. Any statement to the contrary is simply false. Hunter made sure there was always a clear boundary between any business and his father, always,” Walker continued. . .

The first inconsistency came early on during the two-hour-plus interview, when House investigators confronted Walker with the statement he had made to investigators on Dec. 8, 2020. On that day, one IRS and one FBI agent went to Walker’s house in Arkansas to question him as part of the criminal probe into Hunter Biden. Unbeknownst to Walker, the agents were recording their conversation — the transcript of which the House Ways and Means Committee has released.

During that interview, the FBI agent asked Walker whether Joe Biden had ever shown up at any meetings with CEFC, the Chinese Communist-connected energy company Hunter and his partners were soliciting for business that paid Walker’s LLC $3 million in March 2017. Walker later gave Hunter Biden more than $1 million of that money.

After telling the agents that Joe Biden had come to the Four Seasons to greet members of the CEFC delegation in early 2017, the FBI agent asked Walker if there were “any times when he was in office, or did you hear Hunter say that he was setting up a meeting with his dad with them while dad was still in office?”

Walker responded, “Yeah.” (Read more from “Biden Business Partner Claims Joe Wasn’t Involved After Telling The FBI He Was” HERE)
