Biden Admin Misses Deadline to Declassify Critical COVID-19 Intel

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Biden administration missed a deadline Sunday to declassify information related to the origins of COVID-19, triggering backlash from scientists and politicians alike.

After President Joe Biden signed the COVID Origins Act in March, the director of national intelligence had 90 days to declassify intelligence pertaining to the origins of COVID-19 and the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) in Wuhan, China. The administration did not release that intelligence, reportedly because they are working to smooth over fraught relations with Beijing.

Republicans, including Indiana Sen. Mike Braun and Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley, blasted the administration for not complying with the law the president signed.

“We need to know the truth about how this pandemic started and China’s role in covering it up, and the White House must respect the text of the law passed unanimously in both chambers by the people’s representatives,” Braun told The Washington Times.

Merrick Garland Asked Point Blank If Hunter Biden Plea Deal Is A ‘Different Standard Of Justice’

/0 Comments/in , /by

U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland was asked directly whether the deal struck between President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter, and the Department of Justice (DOJ) on federal gun and tax charges displays a “different standard of justice” at a news conference in Sweden on Wednesday.

Hunter Biden will avoid jail time by pleading guilty to two tax misdemeanors and entering a probation agreement for a gun charge with the DOJ, prompting criticism that the legal treatment wasn’t as harsh as former President Donald Trump’s. When asked about the degree of punishment Hunter Biden received, Garland referred the reporter to the U.S. Attorney on the case for questions about the investigation’s conclusion.

“From the moment of my appointment as attorney general, I would leave this matter in the hands of the United States Attorney, who was appointed by the previous president, and assigned to this matter by the previous administration, that he would be given full authority to decide the matter as he decided was appropriate, and that’s what he’s done,” Garland said, according to the video clip.

Pentagon Attacks Sen. Tuberville, Suggests Murdering Soldiers’ Babies Is Critical to National Security

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Pentagon on Tuesday slammed Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.) for setting a “dangerous precedent” by holding up more than 200 general and flag officer nominations over the Defense Department’s new abortion policy.

“Without these leaders in place, these holes severely limit the department’s ability to ensure the right person is in place at the right time, and to ensure a strategic readiness and operational success,” said Pentagon deputy press secretary Sabrina Singh at a Tuesday briefing.

Singh said the holdup was placing Washington’s ability to counter Russia and China at risk.

“These holds set a dangerous precedent and puts our military readiness at risk at a time when our military is expected to defend the nation and meet the acute threat of Russia and address the pacing challenge of the PRC,” she continued, referring to the People’s Republic of China.

Tuberville has been blocking the nominees from confirmation in the Senate since March over the Pentagon’s policy, which provides paid time off and reimburses travel costs for servicemembers who travel for an abortion.

Not a Joke: ABC Analyst Says Hunter Got Harsher Treatment Because He’s a Biden

/0 Comments/in , /by

News Nation host and ABC News Chief Legal Analyst Dan Abrams claimed Wednesday that President Joe Biden’s embattled son Hunter was treated more harshly by the Justice Department than he would have been if his last name had not been Biden.

Abrams joined host George Stephanopoulos on ABC News’s “Good Morning America,” and he argued that Hunter Biden might not have been prosecuted at all if Republicans were not trying to connect the president to his alleged crimes.

ABC’s chief justice correspondent Pierre Thomas set the scene, suggesting that the younger Biden’s alleged crimes were part of a Republican effort to damage President Biden: “Republicans have long sought to make Hunter Biden’s troubles and financial dealings, including those in Ukraine and China, a political millstone for his father. Word of Hunter Biden’s deal set off a political firestorm, with Republicans claiming he got preferential treatment.”

Stephanopoulos, himself a veteran of former President Bill Clinton’s administration, pivoted to ABC’s White House correspondent Mary Bruce, saying, “Boy, this case of Hunter Biden has been a source of political and personal heartache for President Biden.” (Read more from “Not a Joke: ABC Analyst Says Hunter Got Harsher Treatment Because He’s a Biden” HERE)

IRS Agent Testimony on Alleged Hunter Biden Coverup Poised for Release

/0 Comments/in , /by

A House committee is expected to decide Thursday morning whether to release transcripts of testimony from two IRS whistleblowers who accused the Justice Department of a cover-up in the Hunter Biden tax fraud investigation.

Delaware US Attorney David Weiss announced Tuesday that the first son, 53, had agreed to cop to two tax-crime misdemeanors plus a felony gun charge that can be expunged after two years.

Hunter Biden is expected to receive probation, despite prison sentences in similar cases.

The House Ways and Means Committee will meet at 8 a.m. Thursday to discuss closed-door depositions by the whistleblowers amid outrage from Republicans and lawyers whose clients were treated more harshly for similar conduct.

“If the federal government is not treating all taxpayers equally, Congress has a duty to hold agencies accountable by providing transparency and bringing new facts to light,” the committee’s Republican majority said in a statement.

Tucker Carlson Weighs In On Hunter Biden’s ‘Sweetheart Deal’; Legal Experts Call Hunter’s Plea Deal a ‘Joke’

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By Nicole Silverio. Daily Caller co-founder Tucker Carlson weighed in on Hunter Biden’s “sweetheart deal” with Trump-appointed prosecutor David Weiss during Tuesday’s broadcast of “Tucker on Twitter.”

Biden agreed to plead guilty to charges of illegally purchasing a gun while under the influence of drugs and for failing to pay his taxes in 2017 and 2018. Carlson said Weiss prosecuted the younger Biden to make the 37-count indictment against former President Donald Trump appear fair and non-political.

“Donald Trump had an idea: ‘They’ll hit Hunter with something small to make their strike on me look fair.’ Trump wrote that about two weeks ago,” Carlson said. “And it turned out those were prescient words. This morning, Hunter Biden pleaded guilty to pretty much nothing. Biden pled to two misdemeanor tax evasion charges and then entered a diversion on a federal gun charge. That’s it. As far as Merrick Garland’s Justice Department is concerned, Hunter Biden is done. There was no pre-dawn raid carried live simultaneously on CNN. There was no perp walk, no handcuffs, no press conference.”

“Above all, there was no felony. Hunter Biden, who broke federal gun laws, can still carry a gun. It’s like it all never happened,” he continued.

Legal Experts Call Hunter Biden Plea Deal a ‘Joke’

By Arjun Singh. Legal experts criticized the plea deal announced between the Department of Justice (DOJ) and Hunter Biden on Tuesday, with some calling it a “joke” and a “sweetheart deal.”

Hunter Biden, who has been under investigation for over five years by the DOJ, agreed to plead guilty to two counts of willful failure to pay federal income tax, and one count of possession of a firearm by a person who is an unlawful user of or addicted to a controlled substance, which is a felony. The felony charge may be dismissed if Biden complies with certain conditions. Legal experts have said the charges are too lenient and suggest a “sweetheart deal” was made to avoid prison time.

“[I]t will be like ticketing the get-away driver after a bank hold up,” tweeted Jonathan Turley, a law professor at George Washington University and a national security defense attorney. “It is called controlled demolition: the implosion of a scandal to limit any blast effect on nearby structures or individuals…without causing collateral damage to the political and media establishment,” he added.

Hunter’s father, President Joe Biden, is running for reelection in 2024, and his political allies have frequently criticized former President Donald Trump for his active indictments by prosecutors in New York and Florida. Trump and Republicans, by contrast, have attempted to tie Hunter Biden’s tumultuous personal life and alleged criminal history to Joe Biden.

Trump on Allegedly Stating That He Showed Classified Doc to Others: ‘There Was No Document’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former President Donald Trump said during an interview on Monday that he did not show classified documents to individuals without security clearances despite his claim on an alleged audio tape that he did.

Trump, who was charged earlier this month with 37 felonies in the federal investigation into his handling of classified national defense information, is accused of showing classified material to a writer who was interviewing the former president. . .

Fox News anchor Bret Baier brought up that portion of the indictment — which allegedly detailed a plan of attack against Iran — during his interview with Trump and asked if the former president remembered doing that.

“It wasn’t a document,” Trump said. “I had lots of paper. I had copies of newspaper articles. I had copies of magazines.”

Baier responded, “This is specifically a quote, you’re quoted on the recording saying the document was ‘secret,’ adding that you could have declassified it while you were president, but, quote, ‘Now I can’t, you know, this is still secret, highly confidential.’ And the indictment cites the recording and the testimony from people in the room saying you showed it to people there that day.” (Read more from “Trump on Allegedly Stating That He Showed Classified Doc to Others: ‘There Was No Document’” HERE)

Promise Keepers ‘Rejected by Christian School Over Biblical Marriage’

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A report reveals that Promise Keepers, the organization that calls on men to live biblical lives, has been rejected by a Christian college because of its position on marriage.

A statement from a conference booking organization, Jones Literary, reveals the men’s group is holding a series of events this year across America, and one was to be at Belmont University in Nashville.

But the school, which claims to be “Christian,” abruptly canceled the event citing a “conflict in values.” . . .

The problem apparently erupted when the organization offered guidance to men on how to respond to the current gender ideology being pushed by the Joe Biden administration, schools, unions and other extreme leftists.

It bluntly said, “We will not stand on the sidelines and remain quiet. As fathers, husbands, grandfathers, and young men—we see the dangers of gender ideology and the harm it causes. At Promise Keepers, we affirm that God made human beings in His image to reflect Him. He created male and female with equal worth and dignity—and there was no mistake in that design. (Genesis 1:27; Mark 10:6).” (Read more from “Promise Keepers ‘Rejected by Christian School Over Biblical Marriage’” HERE)

De-Transitioned Individual Shares Her Story: ‘I Kind of Feel a Little Bit Mutilated and Like an Experiment Gone Wrong’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Jasmine, who previously underwent life-altering gender transition measures, still suffers lingering consequences.

According to the Telegraph, she considers the pursuit of gender transition to be a “mistake” but adds that “because I was a child, I also think that part of the onus is on the various professionals that treated me.”

At the age of only 15, she was referred by a transgender charity to the Gender identity Development Service clinic for kids and young people at London’s Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust, according to the outlet. At age 17, GIDS patients were shifted to adult services where they could get gender-reassignment surgery, the outlet noted. Jasmine said during an appointment at the adult clinic she was referred to be prescribed cross-sex hormones and added to a waiting list for breast removal.

Jasmine, who has shared her story as part of a documentary, according to the outlet, said that she took testosterone for more than one year, causing “irreversible” bodily changes — she needs to shave her face daily and her voice is “significantly lower than it was before.”

“I don’t really know what it’s like to have the body of an adult,” she said, according to the Telegraph. “I don’t really know how it’s affected my fertility or my internal health.” (Read more from “De-Transitioned Individual Shares Her Story: ‘I Kind of Feel a Little Bit Mutilated and Like an Experiment Gone Wrong’” HERE)

Former President Donald Trump, a Republican presidential candidate, slammed the plea deal announced for Hunter Biden on Tuesday, calling it a “massive coverup” and election interference. . .

As part of his plea deal, Biden, 53, will plead guilty to willful failure to pay federal income tax — most likely on his foreign earnings — and will enter a “pretrial diversion program” regarding his gun crime, indicating that he will face no jail time.
