Hunter Biden Special Counsel Fires Back at President’s Claim That First Son Was ‘Selectively and Unfairly Prosecuted’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Special counsel David Weiss on Monday dismissed President Biden’s claim that his troubled son, Hunter Biden, was “selectively and unfairly prosecuted” for federal tax and gun crimes.

“The Government does not challenge that the defendant has been the recipient of an act of mercy. But that does not mean the grand jury’s decision to charge him, based on a finding of probable cause, should be wiped away as if it never occurred,” Weiss wrote in a filing with the US District Court for the Central District of California, arguing that the judge overseeing Hunter’s tax case shouldn’t dismiss the indictment against the first son despite the president’s pardon.

“It also does not mean that his charges should be wiped away because the defendant falsely claimed that the charges were the result of some improper motive,” the special counsel added, noting that “no court has agreed with the defendant on these baseless claims, and his request to dismiss the indictment finds no support in the law or the practice of this district.”

Biden, 82, pardoned his disgraced 54-year-old son on Sunday on the basis that Hunter was “treated differently” by his own Justice Department.

“From the day I took office, I said I would not interfere with the Justice Department’s decision-making, and I kept my word even as I have watched my son being selectively, and unfairly, prosecuted,” the president wrote in his pardon announcement.

Nancy Pelosi Seeks to Stage Another Coup In the Democratic Party

/2 Comments/in , , /by

After playing a significant role in the coup against outgoing President Joe Biden, former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) is back doing what she knows best: plotting another ouster within the Democratic Party.

According to a New York Times report, Pelosi seeks to shake up a critical House Committee. She is leading an effort to replace longtime Democrat Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY) as a ranking member of the House Judiciary Committee. She is quietly urging Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-CA) to challenge Nadler, and according to reports, he is strongly considering it.

However, the NYT pointed out that Nadler and Raskin’s close friendship stands in the way.

Raskin is a loyalist in Democrat’s eyes. He played a leading role in pushing several hoaxes, including the bogus Russian disinformation claims involving President-elect Donald Trump. He also suggested he would refuse to certify Trump’s 2024 win. . .

Although Raskin has not publicly announced his candidacy, Nadler has already hit the ground running, eager to hold on to his position. Nadler proudly said he led the Judiciary Committee’s efforts of two impeachments against Trump. The NYT also highlighted an additional advantage Raskin brings: his skill in engaging in impromptu debates. The report noted that House Democrat leaders are staying neutral for now.

Karine Jean-Pierre Gives Word Salad After Being Asked About Biden’s Pardon of Hunter

/0 Comments/in , /by

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre talked in circles after being asked about President Joe Biden pardoning his son Hunter for crimes that may have been committed within a 10-year period after insisting during the election that he would not do so.

Jean-Pierre, accompanying Biden on a trip to Africa, was asked on Air Force One if Biden had previously lied to the American people about the pardon.

“First of all, one of the things that the president always believes is to be truthful to the American people. That is something that he always truly believes. And if you see the end of his — I assume that you’ve read his statement — and you look at the end of that statement, and he actually says that in the first line in the last paragraph, and — and respects the thinking and how the American people will actually see this and his decision-making, and I would encourage everyone to read it full, the president’s statement,” Jean-Pierre said.

“He came to this decision this weekend. So let’s be very clear about that,” she continued. “He says it himself. It’s in his voice. He said he came to this decision this weekend. And he said he wrestled with this and — because he believes in the justice system, but he also believes that the war politics infected the process and led to a miscarriage of justice.”

Joe Biden Tries To Justify Hunter Pardon By Peddling Another Round Of Lies

/0 Comments/in , /by

On Sunday, President Joe Biden granted his son Hunter a “full and unconditional pardon.” For someone who’s covered the Biden family corruption scandal since the censorship-industrial complex falsely portrayed Hunter’s laptop from hell as Russian disinformation, my reactions are several and sundry.

1. Joe Biden Is a Lying Liar

First up was imbibing in the hilarity of Joe Biden, once again, proving he lies with as much ease as he has in insulting Republicans.

In June, the president repeatedly vowed not to pardon his son, including during a joint news conference with the president of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy. As the time, the elder Biden stated: “I’m not gonna do anything. I said I abide by the jury — decision. I will do that. And I will not pardon him.”

President Biden’s “no pardon” position remained firm as recently as last month, when the issue arose during a press conference. “We’ve been asked that question multiple times and our answer stands — which is no,” White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters in early November.

Democrat Senator Blasts Joe Biden’s Pardon of Son

/1 Comment/in , /by

This week, Democrat Colorado Sen. Michael Bennet blasted President Joe Biden for pardoning his son, Hunter Biden.

“President Biden’s decision put personal interest ahead of duty and further erodes Americans’ faith that the justice system is fair and equal for all,” Bennet posted on X.

As Townhall covered, with just weeks left in office, Joe Biden pardoned Hunter Biden, though he initially promised he would not do so.

“Today, I signed a pardon for my son Hunter,” Biden wrote in a statement. “From the day I took office, I said I would not interfere with the Justice Department’s decision-making, and I kept my word even as I have watched my son being selectively, and unfairly, prosecuted.”

IRS Whistleblower: ‘Clear That Joe Biden Was Involved’ in Hunter’s Dealings

/0 Comments/in , /by

On Monday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “The Story,” IRS whistleblower Gary Shapley stated that while he isn’t surprised that President Joe Biden pardoned his son, Hunter, the President “lied to the American people about what he was going to do, and, really, it calls into question other things that he may have been untruthful on right now.” And it’s “clear that Joe Biden was involved” in Hunter Biden’s dealings “and it was really selling the access and giving Hunter Biden the opportunity to get these lucrative contracts while providing really no service overseas.”

Shapley said, “I wasn’t surprised at all. This was something that was expected. You can tell by the maneuvering of the defense counsel that this was on the horizon. And the thing that’s surprising is that the President of the United States lied to the American people about what he was going to do, and, really, it calls into question other things that he may have been untruthful on right now.”

Dems Finally Admit to Key Biden Blunder After Election Loss

/2 Comments/in , /by

Democrats spent Thanksgiving eating crow — privately confessing that President Biden’s handling of the border crisis fueled voter outrage and the Republican sweep of the White House and both chambers of Congress.

Lawmakers, aides and sources close to powerful Dems finally admitted after President-elect Donald Trump’s resounding victory over Biden’s successor, Vice President Kamala Harris, that the party’s permissive lurch on the border helped doom them in 2024.

“We destroyed ourselves on the immigration issue in ways that were entirely predictable and entirely manageable,” a Democratic senator confided to The Hill under the condition of anonymity.

“We utterly mismanaged that issue, including our Democratic caucus here. That’s political malpractice. That’s not someone else’s fault. That’s not the groups pushing us around.”

A source close to New York City Mayor Eric Adams also told The Post that fellow Democrats should have listened to him after he “warned for two years” that a porous border “would overburden cities and alienate working class people — and they did not listen.” (Read more from “Dems Finally Admit to Key Biden Blunder After Election Loss” HERE)

White House Morale Reportedly In Shambles Due To Biden Stiffing Staffers On Photo Ops

/0 Comments/in , /by

Morale around the White House is low as staffers complain they won’t get the traditional parting gift of a photo with the president, according to Politico Playbook.

It is tradition in the Biden White House that staffers, once they decide to leave the administration, get a photo with the president as a thank you for their contribution, Politico Playbook reported. But as the president has cancelled the photos for the last few months, staffers are now concerned they might not get the coveted shot despite recent changes, according to the outlet.

The Office of Management and Administration’s employee engagement team recently notified staff that they would be getting a photo on a rolling basis sometime over the next two months, but no additional guests will be allowed in the shot, according to an email obtained by Politico Playbook. This caveat upset staffers, the outlet reported, because family of staffers have typically been invited and would fly down for the occasion and a few minutes with the president.

“Instead of everyone being annoyed by no departure photos, now it’s only half of the people who are annoyed,” one current administration official told Politico Playbook. (Read more from “White House Morale Reportedly In Shambles Due To Biden Stiffing Staffers On Photo Ops” HERE)

Biden Administration Spent Nearly $400,000 Interviewing Transgender People in India

/2 Comments/in , /by

President Joe Biden’s Department of Health and Human Services spent six figures paying Drexel University researchers to interview transgender people in India, according to federal records.

Between March 2021 and February 2024, HHS paid out $389,087 to a team of academics at Drexel to perform “quantitative” interviews with 30 transgender men across Delhi and Mumbai, India’s two largest cities. Additionally, the Biden administration provided the researchers with federal funding to distribute online surveys to 300 transgender men living in those cities. The ultimate goals of the publicly-funded research project were to “inform the development and evaluation of an intervention to promote mental health” for transgender people in India and to “impact rapidly evolving transgender health and social policies in India and beyond.”

Specifically, the study investigated the prevalence of mental health conditions, such as anxiety and suicidality, among transgender people in India. It sought to understand what variables were contributing to the occurrence of those conditions. The framework used by the team of Drexel researchers aimed to “put the gender back into transgender health,” according to the grant’s description.

The researchers argued that their work is necessary because the “transgender community is experiencing major socio-legal changes that may affect mental health” in India. One of the policy recommendations made in the final report produced by the team of researchers was to implement public funding for “gender-affirmative healthcare,” including hormone therapy and sex change surgeries.

HHS has positioned itself as a champion of the transgender community under Biden, adopting a new rule in April requiring physicians and healthcare personnel to provide transgender healthcare to patients, including minors. Critics have argued that the rule doesn’t grant sufficient exceptions for healthcare providers who have religious reasons to refuse to practice transgender medical interventions.

WH Insists Biden-Harris One of the ‘Most Successful Administrations in History’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Just weeks after Vice President Kamala Harris’ overwhelming loss to President-elect Trump in the 2024 presidential election, the White House released a memo that hailed the Biden-Harris administration as one of the most successful in history.

The memo shared on Monday highlighted how President Biden and Harris took office during the COVID-19 pandemic and a “reeling” economy, before going on to call their administration “one of the most successful administrations in history” which “will be leaving behind the best economy in the world.”

“Under President Biden and Vice President Harris’ leadership, 16 million jobs have been created, and we’ve gotten women and people of color back in the labor force at record rates,” the memo stated. “A record 20 million new business applications have been filed, and inflation is down to near pre-pandemic levels.”

The White House added that “our success” in these areas was due to “passing and implementing legislation that rebuilt our nation’s infrastructure, made the largest investment in climate action in history, lowered prescription drug costs, and spurred a manufacturing renaissance.” (Read more from “WH Insists Biden-Harris One of the ‘Most Successful Administrations in History’” HERE)
