Democrat Governor Allegedly Sought Out Jeffrey Epstein Donations for Schools Right Before He Got Elected, Filings Say

/0 Comments/in , /by

Democratic U.S. Virgin Islands (USVI) Gov. Albert Bryan Jr. allegedly sought donations from deceased sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein for the territory’s schools and little leagues the year he was elected, according to Wednesday court filings.

Bryan allegedly “facilitated donations” from Epstein in 2018 and suggested schools for Epstein to support, new court filings by J.P. Morgan Chase shared by Law & Crime claim. “Similarly, in 2018, the now-current USVI Governor Albert Bryan facilitated donations by Epstein to USVI’s schools and little leagues,” the document reads.

In one instance Bryan recommended schools for Epstein to give a $50,000 donation to, and in another, Bryan advised Epstein to give $30,000 to the VI little league, the filings allege. Epstein also apparently discussed giving Bryan’s inaugural committee a $25,000 gift, but it’s unknown whether the donation materialized.

Bryan was elected in November 2018 and won reelection in November 2022. He was previously the commissioner of the USVI Department of Labor, a business executive and executive director of the territory’s Junior Achievement chapter.

The bank accused USVI officials of being complicit in Epstein’s crimes and described how Epstein gained favor with the territory’s political officials to receive preferential treatment, according to the filings.

Hunter Biden’s Former Business Partner Devon Archer in Talks to Testify About Bidens’ Alleged $10M Ukraine ‘Bribe’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Hunter Biden’s former business partner Devon Archer is in talks to comply with the House Oversight Committee’s subpoena regarding his knowledge of the Biden family’s alleged $10 million Ukraine “bribe” and additional Biden family business transactions.

On Monday, the House Oversight Committee requested Archer testify Friday, but he is instead negotiating a later deposition, a source familiar with the situation told Breitbart News.

Archer, a Biden family business associate and Hunter’s “best friend in business,” was in legal trouble in 2022 for defrauding a Native American tribal entity and was ordered to pay a $43,954,416.75 judgment to the victims.

Prior to his arrest, Archer served in 2014 with Hunter Biden on the board of Burisma, a Ukraine-based energy company. Archer was also photographed playing golf with then-Vice President Joe Biden in Southhampton, New York, in 2014. In 2016, Archer resigned from Burisma’s board after his arrest.

/0 Comments/in , /by

Six people, including two children, are dead in what law enforcement believes was a murder-suicide at a rural Tennessee home Thursday night.

Law enforcement said they responded to a shooting at a home in the town of Sequatchie to find the house on fire, per WTVC. There was one survivor, an adult, who was brought to the hospital with a bullet wound.

Marion County Sheriff Bo Burnett told the local outlet it was a “domestic situation” that was “ongoing for a pretty good while.” He said it was unclear how many people were shot, but at least two of the victims died from inhaling smoke.

A neighbor said they heard five shots at about 8 p.m. Details as to the ages of the victims and the possible suspect and motive were not released. (Read more from “Six People Dead in Murder-Suicide in Tennessee: Report” HERE)

Hunter Biden Deposed in Child Support Case — And Baby Mama Shows Up

/0 Comments/in , /by

First son Hunter Biden was questioned under oath in his Arkansas child support case Friday — with the mother of his out-of-wedlock daughter showing up to watch her lawyers grill the political scion about his finances.

President Biden’s 53-year-old son was deposed by attorneys for Lunden Roberts as part of his bid to lower his $20,000 monthly child support payments for their daughter Navy Joan Roberts, 4.

Hunter arrived at the Little Rock office building for the deposition in a five-car motorcade flanked by members of the Secret Service. Roberts arrived minutes later, according to the Daily Mail.

The deposition began at 9 a.m. local time and was over by 11 a.m.

The 32-year-old former stripper made the “highly unusual” move to attend the questioning session, a source told the outlet, where her lawyers were expected to probe Hunter — a former high-paid lobbyist — about his earnings from business deals abroad.

Lawyer for Trump’s Co-Defendant Says Biden DOJ Offered Him Quid Pro Quo

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Attorney Stanley Woodward has alleged that someone in President Joe Biden’s Justice Department had offered him a quid pro quo — in the form of a potentially fast-tracked judicial appointment — if he and his client were to cooperate against former President Donald Trump.

Woodward is representing Trump’s co-defendant Walt Nauta in the federal case regarding classified documents, and he said in a court filing that Jay Bratt — head of the Counterintelligence Section of DOJ’s National Security Division — had “suggested Woodward’s judicial application [for a DC Superior Court judgeship] might be considered more favorably if he and his client cooperated against Trump.”

The allegation was reportedly made in a letter filed under seal with Judge James Boasberg, the chief U.S. Judge in Washington, and details an incident that Woodward says took place in November of 2022, when prosecutors were attempting to convince Nauta to cooperate in the case against Trump.

Former federal prosecutor Will Scharf laid out some of the details in a tweet on Thursday:

Rep. Lauren Boebert Files Articles of Impeachment Against Joe Biden: ‘Not Capable’ of Being President

/0 Comments/in , /by

Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) announced Thursday she is filing new articles of impeachment against President Joe Biden in light of a border crisis and alleged bribery scheme.

“I have filed Articles of Impeachment now in this Congress just as I did in the last Congress, but I did it in a very special way. This time, I was sure to draft these so they can be brought up as a privileged resolution on the House floor at any time,” she said on The Benny Johnson Show.

“We know that Joe Biden is not capable of walking upstairs or standing on a stage without being sandbagged, let alone being President of the United States of America,” she added. “So I would love to see our committees actually do their job and bring up articles of impeachment in committee and have hearings and investigations with these so we can get more information out to the American people.”

Boebert said the articles of impeachment would pertain to Biden’s handling of the southern border.

“As a result of Traitor Joe’s dereliction of one of his most basic duties to defend the homeland and uphold the rule of law, we have a complete and total invasion taking place at our southern border,” she said.

Trump’s Faith Advisor Says We Shouldn’t Convert Jews to Jesus

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former US President Donald Trump’s closest evangelical adviser, Florida pastor Paula White, believes Christians should learn from Jews rather than try to convert them, so much so that she is now in Israel studying Torah with Orthodox Jews.

“Paul [the apostle] made very clear that God extended his love to the Gentiles, but he did not take something from the Jews and tell us to go back and course correct or convert them,” White told The Jerusalem Post on Wednesday, as she sat outside the King David Hotel. “I do not want to convert Jews or send them to [live in] Israel for the rapture. The plan for salvation for the Jews is God’s.”

The rapture is a Christian, particularly evangelical, belief about the end of days, when Jesus will return, the bodies of dead believers will be resurrected, and Christianity will be glorified.

White said that to be a good Christian, one must understand Judaism.

“There are so many churches in America that are deeply hungry to understand Torah,” White said. “You can be Jewish without being Christian, but you cannot be Christian without understanding Judaism.” (Read more from “Trump’s Faith Advisor Says We Shouldn’t Convert Jews to Jesus” HERE)

U.S. Congress Retaliates Against Conservative Hungary for Delaying Sweden’s NATO Membership

/0 Comments/in , /by

The United States Congress has blocked a $735mn arms sale to Hungary, which includes 24 HIMARS missile launchers, because of Budapest’s delay in ratifying Sweden’s Nato membership, Hungarian media reported on June 14.

According to The Washington Post, Hungary expressed interest in purchasing 24 HIMARS missile launchers, used extensively in the Ukraine war and sold widely to other US allies. Earlier this year, on the first anniversary of the conflict, the US Congress approved the delivery of state-of-the-art long-range artillery systems to Poland.

Republican Senator James E. Risch, the influential Republican leader of the Foreign Relations Committee, has blocked the sale to Hungary, stating that Budapest must approve Sweden’s Nato accession before obtaining the weapons. He expressed his concerns to the Hungarian government directly over its position.

Sweden’s application has been held up by only two Nato members, Turkey and Hungary. The ruling Fidesz party first claimed that parliament had other more important legislation to deal with, but later the narrative changed, saying that Sweden was spreading “blatant falsehoods” about the erosion of democracy and violations of the rule of law in Hungary and this argument was used as a pretext to delay the procedure.

Critics said the government was simply blackmailing its European allies in an attempt to unlock frozen EU funds. The strategy has backfired and has only strained the country’s ties with its Western allies, leading to further isolation of Viktor Orban’s radical rightwing government.

The FBI Groomed a 16-Year-Old With “Brain Development Issues” to Become a Terrorist

/0 Comments/in , /by

Last week, the Department of Justice announced the arrest of a teenager in Massachusetts on allegations of providing financial support to the Islamic State group.

A flurry of reports picked up on the arrest of Mateo Ventura, an 18-year-old resident of the sleepy town of Wakefield, echoing government claims that an international terrorist financier and ISIS supporter had just been busted in the United States. The Department of Justice’s own press release on the case likewise trumpeted Ventura’s arrest for “knowingly concealing the source of material support or resources that he intended to go to a foreign terrorist organization.”

The only problem with the case and how it has been described, however, is that according to the government’s own criminal complaint, Ventura had never actually funded any terrorist group. The only “terrorist” he is accused of ever being in contact with was an undercover FBI agent who befriended him online as a 16-year-old, solicited small cash donations in the form of gift cards, and directed him not to tell anyone else about their intimate online relationship, including his family.

The arrest has shaken his family, who denied allegations that their son was a terrorist and said that he had been manipulated by the FBI. Ventura’s father, Paul Ventura, told The Intercept that Mateo suffered from childhood developmental issues and had been forced to leave his school due to bullying from other students.

“He was born prematurely, he had brain development issues. I had the school do a neurosurgery evaluation on him and they said his brain was underdeveloped,” Ventura said. “He was suffering endless bullying at school with other kids taking food off his plate, tripping him in the hallway, humiliating him, laughing at him.” (Read more from “The FBI Groomed a 16-Year-Old With “Brain Development Issues” to Become a Terrorist” HERE)

Biden Mocked Over ‘Plans’ to Build Railroad ‘Across the Indian Ocean’

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Biden raised eyebrows on social media this week after appearing to reveal plans to build a railroad from the Pacific Ocean “across” the Indian Ocean.

“We have plans to build a railroad from the Pacific all the way across the Indian Ocean,” Biden told the League of Conservation Voters at their annual dinner in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday night. “We have plans to build in Angola, one of the largest solar plants in the world. I could go on, but I’m not. I’m going off script. I’m going to get in trouble.”

Biden’s comment was quickly met with skepticism on social media on the idea that one Twitter commenter called an “ocean train.”

“Bold initiative, Mr. President,” Fox News contributor and former GOP Congressman Jason Chaffetz tweeted.
