Bank Investigator Raises Concerns Over Chinese Firm’s Money Route to Hunter Biden and Joe Biden’s Account

/0 Comments/in , /by

A bank money laundering investigator expressed concerns about money sent from a Chinese firm to Hunter Biden’s joint business venture that eventually made its way into Joe Biden’s bank account, according to House Oversight.

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer released a June 2018 email from the money laundering expert to colleagues laying out his concerns about $5 million sent from a Chinese firm to Hudson West III, Hunter Biden’s business entity, and subsequent payments to Hunter Biden’s Owasco P.C. bank account.

“Since the initial funding of $5,000,000.00 from Northern International Capital Holdings (HK) Limited on 08/08/17 as a business loan, it was noted that there was no loan agreement document submitted,” the email revealed by Comer reads. The bank and the names of its employees are redacted.

“The funds in the account have primarily funded 16 wires ranging from $157,494.19 to $400,000.00 totaling $2,915,375.25 to [redacted] CLEARING SERVICES LLC (Further Credit Owasco PC — Law Firm in D.C). These payments were indicated as management fees and reimbursements. We find it unusual that approximately 58% of the funds were transferred to the law firm in a few months and the frequency of the payments appear erratic,” the email continues.

“It was also previously indicated that HUDSON WEST III LLC does not currently have any investment projects at this time, which raises further concerns as millions in fees are being paid but does not appear to have any services rendered by Owasco P.C.” (Read more from “Bank Investigator Raises Concerns Over Chinese Firm’s Money Route to Hunter Biden and Joe Biden’s Account” HERE)

House Republicans Launch Website for Biden Impeachment Inquiry, Vowing ‘Transparency’

/0 Comments/in , /by

House Republicans unveiled on Wednesday a website dedicated to the corruption-focused impeachment inquiry against President Joe Biden.

During a press conference with fellow party leaders, House Republican Conference Chairwoman Elise Stefanik (R-NY) said the website provides the public with a “one-stop shop” to check out findings and updates from the three committees conducting the probe.

“It also includes a timeline which lays out exactly what the Biden crime family did to get us to this point,” she added. “Transparency is the hallmark of America. With each new fact, we find it becomes more clear that Joe Biden is compromised and unfit to lead.”

Among the features that appear on the impeachment inquiry website is a “By The Numbers” section that shows statistics of the number of subpoenas issued, “direct payments” to President Biden,” and more. There is also a “subscribe” option that allows users to get updates sent to them by email.

Judge Denies Trump Motion to Subpoena for Missing J6 Records

/0 Comments/in , /by

Judge Tanya Chutkan, who is presiding over Special Counsel Jack Smith’s case against former President Donald Trump for 2020 election interference, this week denied a motion by the former president to seek materials he said the House Committee investigating January 6, 2021, had not turned over to the National Archives.

On Monday, Chutkan rejected Trump’s motion, accusing him of going on a “fishing expedition.”

“The broad scope of the records that Defendant seeks, and his vague description of their potential relevance, resemble less ‘a good faith effort to obtain identified evidence’ than they do a general ‘fishing expedition’ that attempts to use the [Rule 17(c) subpoena] as a discovery device,’” she wrote in her denial.

Trump last month sought to subpoena seven individuals, including then-committee Chairman Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-MS) and House Administration Subcommittee on Oversight Chairman Barry Loudermilk (R-GA), who said he did not receive all the records, as well as other government officials over what his legal team called “missing materials.”

Loudermilk had said in a letter in June that only written transcripts from the committee were transferred to the U.S. archives after it dissolved and that video recordings and transcribed interviews and depositions were not.

Mother of Boy Accused of ‘Black Face’ at Chiefs Game: ‘He Is Native American’

/0 Comments/in , /by

The mother of the boy attacked by ultra-woke media outlet Deadspin for wearing facepaint and an Indian feathered headdress at the Kansas City Chiefs game is speaking out against accusations that her boy is a racist who disrespected blacks and Native Americans, and she is noting that he actually has Native American heritage in his family.

Shannon Armenta, mother of five-year-old Chiefs fan Holden Armenta, is outraged over Deadspin’s accusations.

“This has nothing to do with the NFL,” Armenta wrote in a Monday Facebook post.

“Also, CBS showed him multiple times, and this is the photo people chose to blast to create division [she wrote referencing the profile view photo of her son]. He is Native American – just stop already,” she wrote.

Unlike many who have some vague feeling that “great great grandma was a Cherokee,” Armenta noted that her son could not be a racist against Indians because he has Native blood in his family.

Speculation Grows as Michelle Obama’s Solo Air Force One Flight Fuels Talk of a Political Comeback

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The Democratic Party is facing a conundrum as it searches for a compelling and popular candidate capable of securing votes in the upcoming elections. Recent events have added a layer of intrigue to this political puzzle, particularly the Air Force One trip to former first lady Rosalynn Carter’s funeral in Georgia, where Michelle Obama found herself alongside President Joe Biden and the Clintons. Despite Michelle Obama publicly stating on multiple occasions that she has no intention of running for president, her presence on the flight has ignited widespread speculation about her potential political comeback.

The significance of Michelle Obama’s solo appearance on Air Force One has not gone unnoticed. The possibility of Michelle Obama emerging as a key player in the political landscape has caused a stir on social media:

The political landscape has shifted significantly, with the Democratic Party seeking a suitable candidate for the 2024 presidential election. However, her assertions of not running for president have been clear, potentially leaving the party with a dilemma as they consider their limited options.

The speculation surrounding Michelle Obama’s political future has intensified in the context of former President Barack Obama’s influence. This raises the question, are the Obama’s orchestrating political moves behind the scenes?

VICE Posted a List on How White People Can Behave better…and It’s Unintentionally Hilarious

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The issue here is that this could easily be viewed as a satirical piece. Maybe it is, perhaps it isn’t, but that’s how insane the Left has become—where a list such as this for white people is tragically taken seriously by some. It’s an old list, however. Social media has a way of resurrecting woke think pieces if they slide under the radar at the time of publication or people forget about them. Vice had this 100-item list for how white people can make life less miserable for nonwhites and something, something else, but you can tell where this was heading in the opening sentences:

As someone with very low tolerance for racist bull***t, I’ve managed to surround myself with white people who are cognizant of their privilege and strive to make the world a less terrifying and frustrating place for people of color.

Oh lord. And this list was from 2018; the Woke Left has become much more unspooled since then. Here are some items on the list:

Trump Gains ‘Largest Lead’ of His Career as 2024 Rematch Looms

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former President Donald Trump has been leading the ever-shrinking field of 2024 Republican presidential hopefuls, and a new national primary election poll from Morning Consult has the 45th president leading the pack by a whopping 50 points as 2023 enters its final weeks and the first early state primary contests approach.

Conducted November 24 to 26, the survey showed Trump earning support from 64 percent of Republican primary voters, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis with 14 percent, former Ambassador Nikki Haley with 10 percent, entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy with 6 percent, and former Governor Chris Christie with 3 percent.

Trump’s already significant lead could grow, according to Morning Consult, because 29 percent — a “plurality of non-Trump supporters” — listed the former president as their second choice for 2024. “Such voters make up roughly 10% of the GOP’s expected electorate, suggesting that the former president’s support could continue to grow if lower-polling contenders drop their bids.”

After the primaries, Trump faces another general election battle against Joe Biden, a contest in which his prospects look bright at present with the biggest advantage in the RealClearPolitics polling average of his career.

U.S. Marine Veteran Attacked in Prison While Jailed in Russia, Family Says

/0 Comments/in , /by

Paul Whelan, US Marine veteran who has been imprisoned in Russia for several years on what critics have said are false charges, was attacked Tuesday by another inmate, his family said.

David Whelan said his brother was assaulted at a labor camp Tuesday afternoon.

He said his brother was working at a sewing table when a new inmate blocked part of the production line and Paul asked him to move out of the way.

“After repeated requests, the prisoner hit Paul in the face, breaking Paul’s glasses in the process, and attempted to hit him a second time,” David Whelan said in an email statement. “Paul stood up to block the second hit and other prisoners intervened to prevent the prisoner continuing to attack Paul.”

He said his brother Paul has asked the prison warden if he can speak with local prosecutors for a possible investigation of the alleged attack. (Read more from “U.S. Marine Veteran Attacked in Prison While Jailed in Russia, Family Says” HERE)

Hunter Biden Finally Going to Face Hard Questions From Those Who Won’t ‘Ask Nicely’

/0 Comments/in , /by

. . .After years of delay and denials, the House is about to confirm exactly what the Bidens were so good at doing . . . and what foreign figures wanted so much that they were willing to pay the Bidens millions.

Hunter Biden is now scheduled to appear before the House Oversight Committee on Dec. 13 to answer questions about what is alleged to be the largest influence-peddling operation in history.

Despite being subpoenaed, Hunter is still demanding conditions for answering questions.

His lawyer, Abbe Lowell, previously said Hunter would testify only when “the time is right” and is now saying that Hunter would testify in public, not the scheduled private session.

Republicans rejected that demand. (Read more from “Hunter Biden Finally Going to Face Hard Questions From Those Who Won’t ‘Ask Nicely’” HERE)

Divisions Emerge Among Biden’s Aides Over Hunter Biden’s Legal Strategy

/0 Comments/in , /by

Aides for President Joe Biden and Democratic party operatives are reportedly divided on the political consequences of Hunter Biden’s legal counteroffensive.

Biden advisers and Democratic strategists have different perceptions of how Hunter Biden’s aggressive legal strategy will influence his father’s political fortunes as he runs for reelection, eight people close to President Biden and his son told Politico.

A former 2020 campaign aide told Politico some White House officials feel “irritated that he’s being more aggressive, because he is not clearing the tactics and the strategy.” Other aides are concerned Hunter Biden’s legal tactics increase the spotlight placed on his foreign business dealings and personal scandals, Politico reported.

Hunter Biden keeps his father up to date on his legal maneuvers and his legal team informs the White House ahead of any major legal decisions, a person close to his legal team told Politico.

The legal matters themselves are entirely decided by Hunter Biden and his lawyers, including the recent attempt to have a court authorize subpoenas for former President Donald Trump and former officials from Trump’s DOJ.
