Biden Administration Commits Another $400M to Ukraine

The Biden administration has announced another $400 million in military aid to Ukraine, a senior defense official told reporters on Friday.

This aid, which is the 15th presidential drawdown since Russia invaded Ukraine in late February, includes four more Lockheed Martin-created High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems, known as HIMARS, ammunition for them, three tactical vehicles, a thousand rounds of 155 mm artillery ammunition, demolition munitions, a counter-battery system, and spare parts.

Prior to the latest announcement, the United States had provided Ukraine with eight HIMARS, all of which are currently there and still operational despite claims from the Russian military that it had hit such targets. The new weapons will bring the total to 12, though Ukrainian officials have asked for many more. (Read more from “Biden Administration Commits Another $400M to Ukraine” HERE)

Biden Admin Debunks Infamous Border Patrol ‘Whipping’ Incident Once and for All

U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) found that Border Patrol agents who many mistook to be “whipping” Haitian migrants at the border never whipped anyone, according to CBP Commissioner Chris Magnus.

The September 2021 “whipping” incident took place in Del Rio, Texas, when Border Patrol agents on horseback attempted to push back dozens of Haitian migrants at the U.S.-Mexico border. Several agents were seen using their horses’ reins to maneuver around the migrants and push them back.

Many commentators, including prominent Democrats and activists, mistook the reins for whips and alleged the agents were whipping the Haitian migrants.

“Whips are not part of Border Patrol training or equipment,” Magnus said, adding that CBP found no evidence Border Patrol agents struck any migrants, either intentionally or on accident, with their reins.

However, CBP did find that the Border Patrol unit involved in the incident “twirled” their reins in violation of CBP guidance, according to Magnus. (Read more from “Biden Admin Debunks Infamous Border Patrol ‘Whipping’ Incident Once and for All” HERE)

House Democrat Calls Out Biden for Sending American Oil Overseas, Only to Beg Saudi Arabia for More Oil

Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna paraded himself on Fox News Thursday to bash President Joe Biden for sending American oil overseas.

American oil exports have increased in recent months, Reuters reported, driven by Biden’s decision to release oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve.

In fact, even some of the oil released from the SPR is being sent overseas. More than 5 million barrels were shipped to countries in Europe and Asia last month. Destinations included France, the Netherlands, India, and even China, according to Reuters. . .

Speaking on “America Reports,” the California Democrat admitted he does “not understand” why the Biden administration has refused to stop oil exports as Americans face record-high prices at the gas pump. . .

“I don’t understand why we’re allowing the oil to be exported to countries like China when we need it here in the United States,” Khan said. (Read more from “House Democrat Calls Out Biden for Sending American Oil Overseas, Only to Beg Saudi Arabia for More Oil” HERE)

Hunter Biden’s Vicious Texts About Jill Revealed

Hunter Biden called his step-mom Jill Biden a “vindictive moron” and “entitled c–t” in text messages after she urged him to go to rehab to kick his drug habit, according to a new report.

President Biden’s 52-year-old druggie son made the remarks in a string of text messages that he sent in 2018 as he family were rallying to get him help, The Sun reported.

In one particular text sent to his brother Beau’s widow, Hallie Biden, who he was scandalously dating at the time, Hunter went off on the now first lady.

“F–k my stepmother for always being as much of a selfish silly entitled c–t as you,” he wrote to Hallie as their brief relationship deteriorated.

He also admitted to calling his stepmom a “f–king moron, a vindictive moron” in a separate text exchange with his uncle, James Biden, just days later. (Read more from “Hunter Biden’s Vicious Texts About Jill Revealed” HERE)

Shocker: Hunter Biden Tied to Chinese Company That Bought Oil Joe Released

There really seems to be no limit to the convolutions that develop when the Biden family works on its international business schemes.

Probably one of the most famous was when Joe Biden was vice president and traveled to Ukraine for Barack Obama. At that time Hunter Biden was taking in tens of thousands of dollars a month from a Ukrainian company under investigation for corruption. . .

Now the Free Beacon is reporting that some of that oil Joe Biden released from America’s Strategic Petroleum Reserve, ostensibly to help American consumers with sky-high gasoline prices brought on by his energy and economic policies, was sold to a Chinese company.

A Chinese company in which Hunter Biden has interests, the report said.

It’s through Hunter Biden’s links to Sinopec, in which he, through an equity firm, previously bought a $1.7 billion stake.

Biden Awards the Medal of Freedom to a Woman Who Hates America

At the White House Thursday afternoon President Joe Biden awarded Megan Rapinoe, the co-captain of the U.S. national women’s soccer team, the Medal of Freedom. During remarks, he praised her as one of the greatest athletes of all-time.

While there’s no doubt Rapinoe is one of the best female athletes in the world, she also hates the United States of America. She has repeatedly stood on foreign soil while refusing to participate in the National Anthem before games — all while representing Team USA.

Musk to Take ‘Potentially Drastic Action’ as Twitter Buyout ‘in Serious Jeopardy’; Twitter Makes Major Cuts

Elon Musk‘s $44 billion bid to for Twitter is in serious jeopardy and the billionaire is reportedly reviewing his options after his team accused the social media platform of not disclosing enough information about spam accounts.

The Washington Post reported that Musk’s team has stopped engaging in discussions with investors about the funding behind the purchase because they believe that the spam figures provided by the company are incomplete.

The newspaper reported that Musk’s team has determined Twitter’s figures on spam accounts cannot be verified with available information, leaving its true number of active daily users a mystery. Musk’s team is poised to take “potentially drastic action,” the report said.

A change in direction from Musk’s team could be looming, although the source who spoke to the newspaper did not offer a timeframe.

Twitter simultaneously said on Thursday that it had let go of 30% of its talent acquisition team amid the potential Musk takeover. (Read more from “Musk to Take ‘Potentially Drastic Action’ as Twitter Buyout ‘in Serious Jeopardy’; Twitter Makes Major Cuts” HERE)

Wisconsin Supreme Court: No, You Can’t Use a Transgender Name Change to Duck Sex Offender Registry

The Wisconsin Supreme Court ruled Thursday that the state’s ban on name changes for people on the sex offender registry still applied to a transgender offender seeking to adopt a female name, according to The Associated Press.

The sex offender, referred to only as “Ella” in court records, was six feet and five inches tall and over 300 pounds at fifteen years old when he was convicted of sexually assaulting a disabled 14-year-old boy, according to the AP. Seven years later, the offender now identifies as a transgender woman and is seeking to legally adopt a female name and dodge the sex offender registry.

The court ruled 4-3 to uphold lower court rulings declining the sex offender’s requests for a legal name change to no longer be required to register as a sex offender. Ella is about halfway through a 15-year registry requirement.

Wisconsin bans those on the sex offender registry from changing their names or using aliases that are not also listed on the registry, according to the AP. Ella’s lawyers argued that this prohibition violated the offender’s First Amendment rights and was a form of cruel and unusual punishment prohibited under the Eighth Amendment.

Mortgage Rates Have Biggest Weekly Drop Since 2008

Mortgage rates just posted their biggest weekly plunge since the 2008 financial crisis while the red-hot housing market appears to be cooling off.

Mortgage rates rose quickly as the Federal Reserve began hiking interest rates to combat inflation, although last week, they steeply fell off. The average rate on a 30-year loan is now at 5.3%, down from 5.7% last week, Freddie Mac announced on Thursday.

The government-sponsored housing enterprise pointed out in a statement that concerns about a recession continue to percolate as the rate plunges.

“While the drop provides minor relief to buyers, the housing market will continue to normalize if home price growth materially slows due to the combination of low housing affordability and an expected economic slowdown,” the statement said.
