Woman Sentenced to Prison for Selling Ashley Biden’s Diary

/0 Comments/in , /by

A federal judge in New York has handed down a sentence to Aimee Harris, a Florida woman who admitted to participating in a scheme to sell the stolen diary of Ashley Biden, daughter of President Joe Biden.

Judge Laura Taylor Swain, presiding over the case, characterized Harris’s actions as “despicable and consequently very serious,” as reported by The New York Times. Harris, a 41-year-old mother of two, was sentenced to one month in prison, three years of probation, and three months of home confinement. Additionally, she was ordered to repay the $20,000 she earned from the sale of the diary.

The Department of Justice revealed that Harris collaborated with Robert Kurlander to sell the stolen diary to an organization, identified as Project Veritas, for $40,000. The diary and other belongings belonging to Ashley Biden were reportedly discovered in a private residence in Florida in the weeks leading up to the 2020 election.

Despite attempting to sell the materials to former President Donald Trump’s campaign initially, they were rejected and encouraged to hand them over to the FBI. Harris and Kurlander pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit interstate transportation of stolen property in December 2022, expressing remorse for their actions.

However, delays ensued in the legal proceedings, with Harris citing various issues, prompting prosecutors to seek a harsher sentence. U.S. Attorney Damian Williams criticized Harris for “abusing the administration of justice” throughout the court proceedings.

Although Project Veritas did not publish the contents of Ashley Biden’s diary, the group is currently under federal investigation. Alleged pages from the diary were published by National File, claiming to be sourced from a Project Veritas whistleblower.

Kurlander, aged 60, who also participated in the scheme, has not yet been sentenced. However, he has cooperated with the federal investigation, leading prosecutors to request a six-month delay in his sentencing.

In response to the ordeal, Ashley Biden described the incident as “one of the most heinous forms of bullying” in a statement provided to the court.

Biden: I’ll Consider Further Unilateral Action on Guns, Can’t Believe Trump Said ‘No One’s Going to Touch Your Guns’ (VIDEO)

During an interview with Univision that took place last Wednesday and aired on Tuesday, President Joe Biden stated that he would consider taking further executive action on guns and criticized 2024 Republican presidential candidate former President Donald Trump because Trump “famously told the NRA that, don’t worry, no one’s going to touch your guns” if Trump won.

Interviewer Enrique Acevedo asked, “[G]un violence remains the number one cause of death for children in America. Latinos have made it a top priority across the country, especially in places like El Paso and Uvalde in Texas. Your administration called on Congress to pass common-sense gun laws, but that’s unlikely to happen in the next few months. If you’re re-elected, would you consider taking further executive action on this issue?”

Biden’s ‘You Ain’t Black’ Comment Bites Him as President Mocked for Leaking Minority Voters

/0 Comments/in , /by

During the 2020 presidential campaign, Biden told black voters that they “ain’t black” if they had trouble deciding who to vote for between him and then-President Donald Trump. Though he later apologized for the comments, Republicans have continued to seize on them, with the latest round coming from Scott.

“Biden: ‘If you have a problem figuring out whether you are for me or Trump, then you ain’t Black,’” Scott quoted Biden as saying. “In 2024, 40% of African American men aren’t Black enough for Joe Biden. Why? It’s simple. We were better off under Donald J. Trump.”

Last week, Scott launched a talk show with fellow black Republicans Reps. Burgess Owens (R-UT), Byron Donalds (R-FL), John James (R-MI), and Wesley Hunt (R-TX). Scott, Owens, James, and Hunt mocked Biden’s “you ain’t black” comments in their show on Monday, a clip of which was shared on X.

America’s Top Bank CEO Warns Biden’s Inflation Crisis Not Over

/1 Comment/in , /by

Jamie Dimon, the CEO of JPMorgan Chase, issued a sober warning for the U.S. economy in his annual letter to investors this week.

Dimon pointed to wars breaking out in Europe, the Middle East, and growing tensions with China as major drivers to economic uncertainty which have helped fuel “higher energy and food prices, inflation rates and volatile markets.”

The crises on the foreign policy front are largely a reflection of President Joe Biden’s weakness on the world stage as America’s adversaries have felt that they have more latitude in what they are able to get away with under the current administration, critics say.

“It is important to note that the economy is being fueled by large amounts of government deficit spending and past stimulus,” Dimon said. “There is also a growing need for increased spending as we continue transitioning to a greener economy, restructuring global supply chains, boosting military expenditure and battling rising healthcare costs. This may lead to stickier inflation and higher rates than markets expect. Furthermore, there are downside risks to watch.” (Read more from “America’s Top Bank CEO Warns Biden’s Inflation Crisis Not Over” HERE)

Biden Again Tries to Win Over Young Voters With New Student Loan Bailout

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Joe Biden, facing poor polling numbers for a Democratic candidate with young voters, announced another student loan bailout program this week ahead of the 2024 presidential election.

His new plan comes after the U.S. Supreme Court blocked his attempt to this last year because it was illegal.

Biden’s new plan would take taxpayer money to wipe out the student loan debt of over 30 million borrowers, the White House said. The administration said that the actions were specifically designed to provide relief to black and Latino borrowers who attended community college and who are financially vulnerable because they took out debt but never had the chance to complete their degree.

The plan would provide relief to borrowers who owe more than they did at the start of repayment; borrowers who are otherwise eligible for loan forgiveness, but have not yet applied; borrowers who first entered repayment many years ago; borrowers who enrolled in low-financial-value programs; and borrowers experiencing hardship paying back their loans.

“Today, too many Americans, especially young people, are saddled with unsustainable debts in exchange for a college degree,” Biden said from an event in Wisconsin. “The ability for working and middle class folks to repay their student loans has become so burdensome that a lot can’t repay it for even decades after being in school.” (Read more from “Biden Again Tries to Win Over Young Voters With New Student Loan Bailout” HERE)

Biden Went to the Mat for Young Voters on Student Loans. Now They’re Abandoning Him

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Joe Biden has made student loan forgiveness a top priority after young voters elected him by large margins in 2020. Ahead of another matchup with former President Donald Trump, the voting bloc might just abandon him, anyway.

Despite Biden’s continued efforts to cancel massive amounts of student loans for millions of Americans, along with various other left-wing policy achievements, polling indicates his lead among young voters has dropped significantly since last cycle. The loss in support is partially attributable to Biden’s support of Israel following the Oct. 7 Hamas terrorist attack, as young individuals largely express support for Palestinians in Gaza, several Democratic pollsters and strategists told the Daily Caller News Foundation.

“He’s doing all the right things that you would think that young voters would flock to, but unfortunately, they haven’t been able to put that message out there in the community,” Adolph Mongo, a Democratic strategist based in Michigan, told the DCNF. “Well, you’ve done eight things, but this ninth thing is unforgiven. And you put your arm around this war monger in Israel, and then, you know, you can’t unwrap yourself from him.”

Biden has already forgiven billions of dollars worth of student loans for more than 3.6 million Americans, according to the White House. (Read more from “Biden Went to the Mat for Young Voters on Student Loans. Now They’re Abandoning Him” HERE)

Biden to Force Jewish-Made Products From Israel to Be Labeled: Report

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Joe Biden is reportedly preparing to force Jewish made products from Judea and Samaria to be clearly labeled so consumers know where the products are from — a clear sign that the administration wants to enable boycotts.

The Financial Times reported that the timing of the new policy is unknown at this point and that it is designed to “increase pressure on Israel” over what Palestinians claim is violence from Israelis who live in Judea and Samaria.

The report said that the move from the administration would reverse a policy enacted by President Donald Trump that required goods made in Judea and Samaria to be labeled as “Made in Israel.”

The Biden administration late last month refused to block a U.N. resolution calling for a ceasefire in Israel’s war against the Hamas terrorists who murdered 1,200 people on October 7. Thousands more were injured and hundreds were taken hostage, including many Americans.

Many expressed outrage over the move from Biden, noting that it was close to a full-on endorsement of the global anti-Semitic Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions campaign to that was created to destroy the state of Israel.

99 Cents Only Stores Closing All Locations, Cites Inflation

/0 Comments/in , /by

All 371 locations of the 99 Cents Only stores are shutting down, with company executives blaming the “difficult” decision on such causes as “inflationary pressures.”

The company, which opened its first location in 1982, boasts of having the “lowest price guaranteed” on its website. That claim is soon to be no more, with the operators announcing Thursday that liquidation sales will begin Friday.

An official press release said an “orderly wind-down of its business operations” is starting after entering a plea agreement with Hilco Global “to, among other things, liquidate all merchandise owned by the Company and dispose of certain fixtures, furnishings, and equipment at the Company’s stores.”

The hundreds of stores will begin selling all of their remaining items and equipment before the real estate itself is sold by Hilco Real Estate.

The company’s locations span across Arizona, California, Nevada, and Texas. (Read more from “99 Cents Only Stores Closing All Locations, Cites Inflation” HERE)

Biden Moves to Block Trump, Future Presidents From Firing Deep State Bureaucrats

/0 Comments/in , , /by

President Biden finalized new civil service protections on Thursday aimed at preventing the sort of bureaucratic housecleaning that former President Donald Trump plans, should he win reelection.

At stake are potentially tens of thousands of policymaking jobs across the government and the ability to have them follow the president’s direction or face firing.

That has become a top goal of Republicans after the deep state thwarted or watered down many of Mr. Trump’s initiatives. It also has become a chief fear of Democrats.

Mr. Biden said his rules would insulate employees from such political pressure by making it tougher to reclassify their jobs and then fire them.

“Day in and day out, career civil servants provide the expertise and continuity necessary for our democracy to function,” Mr. Biden said. “This rule is a step toward combatting corruption and partisan interference to ensure civil servants are able to focus on the most important task at hand: delivering for the American people.” (Read more from “Biden Moves to Block Trump, Future Presidents From Firing Deep State Bureaucrats” HERE)

Biden FDA to Drop Ban on Sperm Donations From Gay and Bisexual Men

/1 Comment/in , /by

The FDA is set to axe its ban on gay and bisexual men donating sperm, it has been revealed.

Under the current rule, men who have had sex with men within the last five years are blocked from anonymously donating sperm amid fears of HIV infection.

But the agency is now seeking to scrap the blanket ban, and replace it with screening questions that assess a donor’s risk of carrying HIV or other infections. . .

The Wall Street Journal revealed the news, and said the FDA was planning to finalize its proposal by the summer. If approved by the White House, it could go into effect before the end of this year. . .

The shift comes the year after the FDA permitted gay and bisexual men to give blood – after a long ban due to concerns about HIV. (Read more from “Biden FDA to Drop Ban on Sperm Donations From Gay and Bisexual Men” HERE)
