WH Press Briefing Spends More Time on Biden Dog Biting Spree Than New Hunter Revelations

/0 Comments/in , /by

White House reporters spent more time at the Tuesday briefing asking about President Joe Biden’s dog Commander’s biting spree than about the newest Hunter Biden revelations.

Commander, a German Shepherd, sent a Secret Service officer to the hospital and bit six other individuals in the White House. A 194-page Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) document detailed the dog’s aggression and how it bit people on several occasions.

Reporters asked White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre about the dog’s biting spree at least four times. That is more time spent asking about the dog than about the criminal investigations into Hunter Biden. Monday, Business Insider reported Hunter sold his art to a Democratic Party donor who his father appointed to the U.S. Commission for the Preservation of America’s Heritage Abroad.

Jean-Pierre said the dog bites were because of the “stressful” White House environment and the Biden family is working with the U.S. Secret Service to get Commander proper training. (Read more from “WH Press Briefing Spends More Time on Biden Dog Biting Spree Than New Hunter Revelations” HERE)

Hunter Biden Prosecutor Will Be Allowed to Testify Before Congress After Republicans Slam Plea Deal

/0 Comments/in , /by

Hunter Biden prosecutor and U.S. Attorney for the District of Delaware David Weiss will be allowed to testify before the House Judiciary Committee, according to a letter from the Department of Justice.

Weiss’ testimony would come after the announcement of a plea deal where Hunter would plead guilty to two tax misdemeanors and admit the facts of a gun charge. If the deal is accepted by a judge, it will likely mean no jail time for the president’s son. Republican lawmakers were quick to decry the deal, saying that it was too lenient on Hunter, prompting Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) to send a letter requesting Weiss’ testimony before Congress.

“The Department of Justice (Department) appreciates the Committee on the Judiciary’s (Committee’s) acceptance of our offer for U.S. Attorney Weiss to testify at a public hearing before the Committee. The Department is ready to offer U.S. Attorney Weiss to testify shortly after Congress returns from the August district work period, as described more fully below,” Assistant Attorney General Carlos Felipe Uriarte wrote in a letter to Jordan.

Potential dates for the testimony included September 27 or 28, and October 18 or 19. (Read more from “Hunter Biden Prosecutor Will Be Allowed to Testify Before Congress After Republicans Slam Plea Deal” HERE)

Judge Warns Hunter Biden’s Lawyers They Could Face Sanctions

/0 Comments/in , /by

A judge told lawyers for Hunter Biden they could face sanctions over the allegation that one member from their law firm lied to the court clerk over the phone to get records pulled from the docket.

The threat from Delaware U.S. District Judge Maryellen Noreika came the day before a scheduled hearing to consider a plea deal for tax and gun violations that could keep the first son out of prison.

“It appears that the caller misrepresented her identity and who she worked for in an attempt to improperly convince the clerk’s office to remove the amicus materials from the docket,” Noreika said in an order on Tuesday, according to the Daily Mail.

“Therefore, it is hereby ordered that, on or before 9pm today on July 25, 2023, counsel for defendant shall show cause as to why sanctions should not be considered for misrepresentations to the court,” the judge added.

The controversy stems from an amicus brief filing by lawyers representing House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Jason Smith (R-MO), who encouraged the court to “consider” whistleblower testimony from Internal Revenue Service (IRS) agents claiming the criminal case led by Delaware’s U.S. Attorney David Weiss has been slow-walked in a way that precluded more serious charges against Biden.

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Whether you add it to your salad dressing or use it for all your cooking, olive oil offers more than its unique flavor.

Research has previously linked the Mediterranean staple to a lower risk of heart disease.

However, a new study, which will be presented at the flagship annual meeting of American Society for Nutrition held July 22–25, also highlighted the oil’s effects on brain health.

Adding just over half a tablespoon of olive oil to your daily diet could slash your risk of dying from dementia by a whopping 28 percent.

As many countries worldwide face rising rates of dementia cases, the study offers hope that healthy lifestyle factors could pose as an effective weapon against the devastating brain conditions. (Read more from “A Daily Dose of This Oil Could Slash Risk of Dying From Dementia by 28%” HERE)

Senate Votes to Keep China From Buying US Farmland

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Senate voted overwhelmingly to include an amendment to prevent future purchases of American agricultural land by foreign adversaries to the must-pass annual national defense bill on Tuesday.

The vote passed with bipartisan support 91-7. The only senators to vote against the measure were Mazie Hirono (D-HI), Alex Padilla (D-CA), Rand Paul (R-KY), Peter Welch (D-VT), Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), Mike Lee (R-UT) and Chris Murphy (D-CT).

The amendment was offered by Sens. Jon Tester (D-MT) and Mike Rounds (R-SD) in an effort to prevent countries like China, Russia, North Korea, and Iran from purchasing American farmland. The Senators said there were concerns after reports of China posing an even greater national security risk by acquiring U.S. farmland near military installations.

“In recent years, our country has seen firsthand attempts by our near-peer competitors to acquire land adjacent to our military bases,” Rounds said ahead of the vote on Tuesday on the Senate floor, mentioning an effort in 2022 by a Chinese government-linked company to buy a large plot of land miles from a crucial military drone base in North Dakota.

Billionaire ‘Ogre’ Accused of Raping ‘Perfect Target’ Autistic Teen After ‘Hand Off’ From Jeffrey Epstein: Suit

/0 Comments/in , /by

Billionaire investor Leon Black was accused Tuesday of raping an autistic teenager inside Jeffrey Epstein’s Manhattan mansion two decades ago after the pedophile financier facilitated a “hand off,” new court documents show.

In a complaint filed in Manhattan federal court, the alleged victim — identified under the pseudonym “Jane Doe” — said she was only 16 when Black pinned her down inside Epstein’s Upper East Side townhouse in 2002 and abused her with sex toys, causing her to bleed.

“Even as Black grabbed her hand so hard that she thought he broke bones, Jeffrey Epstein knew Jane Doe would never disobey,” the lawsuit states.

“Developmentally she is about 12, and when she was threatened to do as told because ‘bad girls’ get in ‘trouble,’ she did as she was told.”

The woman claims she was trafficked by Epstein and his longtime gal pal Ghislaine Maxwell for about a year before the alleged encounter with Black, whose lawyers deny the charges and insist he has never even met the woman concerned.

Gallup Poll: Only 18% Of Young Adults, 29% Of Democrats Are Extremely Proud to Be American

/0 Comments/in , /by

A Gallup poll released Tuesday showed that only 29% of Democrats express “extreme pride in being American,” compared to 60% of Republicans.

“Party identification remains the greatest demographic differentiator in expressions of national pride, and Republicans have been consistently more likely than Democrats and independents to express pride in being American throughout the trend,” a Gallup summary of the poll said.

“That gap has been particularly pronounced since 2018, with more than twice as many Republicans as Democrats saying they are extremely proud. Republicans are also nearly twice as likely as independents to express the highest degree of pride,” it said.

The poll also showed that only 18% of Americans ages 18-34 say they are extremely proud to be American. According to the poll, younger adults of all parties were “significantly less proud” than older adults.

Musk Blasted for Suggesting COVID Vax Factored in Bronny James Cardiac Arrest

/0 Comments/in , /by

On Monday, LeBron James’s son, Bronny, suffered a cardiac arrest and had to be rushed to the hospital. On Tuesday, Twitter boss Elon Musk opened the floodgates by suggesting that the coronavirus vaccine may have had a role in the 18-year-old’s medical scare.

Musk tweeted, “We cannot ascribe everything to the vaccine, but, by the same token, we cannot ascribe nothing.

“Myocarditis is a known side-effect,” Musk said, adding, “The only question is whether it is rare or common.”

Many said Musk is correct in questioning the safety of the coronavirus vaccine. . .

But Musk was also blasted by many who insisted that the Twitter chief was wrong to suggest the vaccines may have played a role..

GOPers Demand Biden Impeachment After Hunter’s Ex-Biz Partner Reveals Alleged Calls: ‘Must Be Held Accountable’

/2 Comments/in , /by

By New York Post. Some Republicans on Monday demanded House Speaker Kevin McCarthy begin the process to impeach President Biden after The Post revealed a key witness saying first son Hunter Biden frequently put his father on the phone with foreign business associates.

One of Hunter Biden’s closest partners, Devon Archer, is expected to describe the alleged damning calls involving the president at an upcoming hearing of the House Oversight Committee, The Post reported Sunday.

Archer’s explosive anticipated testimony comes on the heels of last week’s release of an FBI informant file that said Hunter and then-Vice President Joe Biden coerced a Ukrainian oligarch to pay $10 million in bribes to dodge a corruption probe.

“House Republicans should initiate impeachment proceedings against President Biden,” Rep. Jim Banks (R-Ind.) flatly told The Post on Monday.

“Joe Biden was trading his personal influence to enrich himself and his family and must be held accountable for selling out America,” said Banks, former chairman of the powerful Republican Study Committee.

Hunter Biden’s Gallery Sold His Art to a Democratic Donor ‘Friend’ Who Joe Biden Named to a Prestigious Commission

By Business Insider. On the campaign trail, President Joe Biden pledged that there would be an “absolute wall” between his official duties and his family’s private business interests. The Biden White House repeatedly made reference to that wall when responding to questions about the fledgling art career of Hunter Biden, the president’s son. In 2021, when a New York art gallery debuted Hunter Biden’s paintings with asking prices as high as $500,000, the White House said that Hunter Biden’s team had a process for carefully vetting buyers, and that their identities were known only to the gallery, and not to Hunter Biden himself. The messaging seemed to suggest that Hunter Biden’s art patrons came from a rarified universe of collectors who had nothing to do with the hurly burly of politics.

Neither of those things has turned out to be the case. Hunter Biden did in fact learn the identity of two buyers, according to three people directly familiar with Hunter Biden’s own account of his art career. And one of those buyers is indeed someone who got a favor from the Biden White House. The timing of their purchase, however, is unknown.

That buyer, Insider can reveal, is Elizabeth Hirsh Naftali, a Los Angeles real estate investor and philanthropist. Hirsh Naftali is influential in California Democratic circles and is a significant Democratic donor who has given $13,414 to the Biden campaign and $29,700 to the Democratic National Campaign Committee this year. In 2022, she hosted a fundraiser headlined by Vice President Kamala Harris. . .

In July 2022, eight months after Hunter Biden’s first art opening, Joe Biden announced Hirsh Naftali’s appointment to the Commission for the Preservation of America’s Heritage Abroad. It is unclear whether Hirsh’s purchase of Hunter Biden’s artwork occurred before or after that appointment. Membership on the commission is an unpaid position that is often filled by campaign donors, family members, and political allies — the same crowd that often winds up with US ambassadorial appointments. Hirsh Naftali’s fundraising activities mark her as the kind of well-connected donor who often wins such appointments, regardless of any relationship they might have with the president’s family. But they do not address the possibility that Hunter Biden might have voiced his support for her appointment.

Black Man Claims He Won Mayoral Election but Can’t Take Office Due to Racism

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A Black man has filled a federal civil rights lawsuit, claiming he was duly elected mayor of an Alabama town but was prevented from taking office by White leaders of the community.

Patrick Braxton, 57, claims “minority White residents” of the town of Newburn refused to accept the outcome of a mayoral race held in 2020 after he, a Black man, allegedly won the election. Instead of allowing him to take office, Braxton claimed the acting mayor of Newbern, Haywood Stokes III, worked with town council members to hold a special election in which Stokes was re-elected to the mayoral seat, CBS News reported.

Braxton further alleged Newbern had not held an election “for decades” prior to his purported 2020 win. Instead, he claimed, the office of mayor was “inherited by a hand-picked successor” who then appointed his own town council members, the outlet reported.

Despite the town’s 85% Black population, Braxton claimed all previous mayors were White and that only one Black person had ever served on Newbern’s town council.

Braxton stated he approached Stokes for information on how to run for mayor in 2020 over concerns the needs of the Black community were not being met. Braxton alleged Stokes then gave him “wrong information” about how to qualify for mayor, failing to tell him he needed to provide public notice to residents about the election.
