Bank Investigator Raises Concerns Over Chinese Firm’s Money Route to Hunter Biden and Joe Biden’s Account

/0 Comments/in , /by

A bank money laundering investigator expressed concerns about money sent from a Chinese firm to Hunter Biden’s joint business venture that eventually made its way into Joe Biden’s bank account, according to House Oversight.

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer released a June 2018 email from the money laundering expert to colleagues laying out his concerns about $5 million sent from a Chinese firm to Hudson West III, Hunter Biden’s business entity, and subsequent payments to Hunter Biden’s Owasco P.C. bank account.

“Since the initial funding of $5,000,000.00 from Northern International Capital Holdings (HK) Limited on 08/08/17 as a business loan, it was noted that there was no loan agreement document submitted,” the email revealed by Comer reads. The bank and the names of its employees are redacted.

“The funds in the account have primarily funded 16 wires ranging from $157,494.19 to $400,000.00 totaling $2,915,375.25 to [redacted] CLEARING SERVICES LLC (Further Credit Owasco PC — Law Firm in D.C). These payments were indicated as management fees and reimbursements. We find it unusual that approximately 58% of the funds were transferred to the law firm in a few months and the frequency of the payments appear erratic,” the email continues.

“It was also previously indicated that HUDSON WEST III LLC does not currently have any investment projects at this time, which raises further concerns as millions in fees are being paid but does not appear to have any services rendered by Owasco P.C.” (Read more from “Bank Investigator Raises Concerns Over Chinese Firm’s Money Route to Hunter Biden and Joe Biden’s Account” HERE)

House Republicans Launch Website for Biden Impeachment Inquiry, Vowing ‘Transparency’

/0 Comments/in , /by

House Republicans unveiled on Wednesday a website dedicated to the corruption-focused impeachment inquiry against President Joe Biden.

During a press conference with fellow party leaders, House Republican Conference Chairwoman Elise Stefanik (R-NY) said the website provides the public with a “one-stop shop” to check out findings and updates from the three committees conducting the probe.

“It also includes a timeline which lays out exactly what the Biden crime family did to get us to this point,” she added. “Transparency is the hallmark of America. With each new fact, we find it becomes more clear that Joe Biden is compromised and unfit to lead.”

Among the features that appear on the impeachment inquiry website is a “By The Numbers” section that shows statistics of the number of subpoenas issued, “direct payments” to President Biden,” and more. There is also a “subscribe” option that allows users to get updates sent to them by email.

Trump Gains ‘Largest Lead’ of His Career as 2024 Rematch Looms

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former President Donald Trump has been leading the ever-shrinking field of 2024 Republican presidential hopefuls, and a new national primary election poll from Morning Consult has the 45th president leading the pack by a whopping 50 points as 2023 enters its final weeks and the first early state primary contests approach.

Conducted November 24 to 26, the survey showed Trump earning support from 64 percent of Republican primary voters, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis with 14 percent, former Ambassador Nikki Haley with 10 percent, entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy with 6 percent, and former Governor Chris Christie with 3 percent.

Trump’s already significant lead could grow, according to Morning Consult, because 29 percent — a “plurality of non-Trump supporters” — listed the former president as their second choice for 2024. “Such voters make up roughly 10% of the GOP’s expected electorate, suggesting that the former president’s support could continue to grow if lower-polling contenders drop their bids.”

After the primaries, Trump faces another general election battle against Joe Biden, a contest in which his prospects look bright at present with the biggest advantage in the RealClearPolitics polling average of his career.

Hunter Biden Finally Going to Face Hard Questions From Those Who Won’t ‘Ask Nicely’

/0 Comments/in , /by

. . .After years of delay and denials, the House is about to confirm exactly what the Bidens were so good at doing . . . and what foreign figures wanted so much that they were willing to pay the Bidens millions.

Hunter Biden is now scheduled to appear before the House Oversight Committee on Dec. 13 to answer questions about what is alleged to be the largest influence-peddling operation in history.

Despite being subpoenaed, Hunter is still demanding conditions for answering questions.

His lawyer, Abbe Lowell, previously said Hunter would testify only when “the time is right” and is now saying that Hunter would testify in public, not the scheduled private session.

Republicans rejected that demand. (Read more from “Hunter Biden Finally Going to Face Hard Questions From Those Who Won’t ‘Ask Nicely’” HERE)

Divisions Emerge Among Biden’s Aides Over Hunter Biden’s Legal Strategy

/0 Comments/in , /by

Aides for President Joe Biden and Democratic party operatives are reportedly divided on the political consequences of Hunter Biden’s legal counteroffensive.

Biden advisers and Democratic strategists have different perceptions of how Hunter Biden’s aggressive legal strategy will influence his father’s political fortunes as he runs for reelection, eight people close to President Biden and his son told Politico.

A former 2020 campaign aide told Politico some White House officials feel “irritated that he’s being more aggressive, because he is not clearing the tactics and the strategy.” Other aides are concerned Hunter Biden’s legal tactics increase the spotlight placed on his foreign business dealings and personal scandals, Politico reported.

Hunter Biden keeps his father up to date on his legal maneuvers and his legal team informs the White House ahead of any major legal decisions, a person close to his legal team told Politico.

The legal matters themselves are entirely decided by Hunter Biden and his lawyers, including the recent attempt to have a court authorize subpoenas for former President Donald Trump and former officials from Trump’s DOJ.

President Biden Addresses Hostage Situation with Hamas, Considers ‘Conditional Aid’ for Israel

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Joe Biden Friday made his first public comments on the hostages released by Hamas after its Tuesday negotiated four-day ceasefire with Israel. . .

“From the moment Hamas kidnapped these people, I, along with my team, have worked around the clock to secure their release,” said Biden. . .

The Israeli government approved a deal Tuesday night that will see the Palestinian Hamas terror group release at up to 80 female, child, and elderly hostages over four days, in return for a pause in the fighting in the Gaza Strip. . .

Inside his own party, calls to condition U.S. aid to Israel on deescalation of Israeli attacks against the terrorist organization are growing.

Biden expressed his openness to consider conditional aid.

Where The Biden Impeachment Effort Stands Heading Into 2024

/1 Comment/in , /by

House Republicans are setting the stage for what could be a vote on articles of impeachment against President Joe Biden early next year.

A report published this week by POLITICO quoted multiple GOP members of the House Judiciary Committee — which would spearhead the drafting of any articles of impeachment — urging the chamber to move quickly toward a decision heading into 2024, which is a presidential election year in which Biden is seeking a second term in the White House.

“We understand that the further you go toward an election, the more politicized these conversations become. That’s why it’s all the more important for us to begin to take action sooner rather than later,” Rep. Ben Cline (R-VA), a member of the Judiciary Committee, told the news outlet. Rep. Dan Bishop (R-NC), another member of that panel, added, “I think it needs to move with alacrity. I’ve always felt that we should be able to move faster. … But I do anticipate that it comes to Judiciary soon.”

The report also noted that Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, predicted a decision would happen early in 2024 and said, “We can decide on whether or not there’s articles” after completing a series of depositions that lawmakers hope to complete in the coming weeks.

Spirited Young Men Should Stay Out of Biden’s Military

/0 Comments/in , /by

Joe Biden’s Pentagon—faced with the prospect of a three front proxy war against Russia, China, and Iran—has made recent overtures of good will to America’s spirited young white men.

In a recent ad entitled “First Jump: Be All You Can Be” the Army shows an all-white squad of paratroopers jumping from a helicopter into an open field. It is a shocking ad. Save for one black woman at the end, the ad is free of “diversity,” something nearly unheard of in today’s DEI advertising climate. One enterprising researcher did a survey of all 433 actors in the nationally aired advertisements during the 2022 Super Bowl. He discovered that 40 percent of those actors were black, despite blacks accounting for only 13 percent of the American population.

The Army’s latest television spot, for once, gives an honest portrait of America’s combat troops: all male and mostly white.

After years of woke “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion” inspired ads—among which the ad “The Calling” featuring a soldier raised by two lesbian activists is the best example—the Army is back to trying to recruit spirited white men.

On the heels of this latest advertising push, the Army also sent out a letter to thousands of former soldiers who were kicked out over their refusal to get the experimental COVID vaccines. The letter announces that soldiers who received a dishonorable or other-than-honorable discharge over the vaccine can apply to have their records corrected. It also opens the door to these soldiers re-enlisting.

As liberals love to say: representation matters. The latest push to recruit white men and make peace with the conservative soldiers who were forced out over the COVID vaccine mandate is a sign that America’s liberal overlords find themselves in need of America’s despised “racists” and “conspiracy theorists.” Recruiting in the military has been down since 2020 and there are numerous cracks appearing in America’s ability to project power abroad.

Will New NBC Poll Cause Biden to Abandon Israel?

/0 Comments/in , /by

More polls have been released, and that means more bad news for President Joe Biden. That includes polls from NBC News and Fox News, with the former being particularly telling when it comes to how the headline from NBC chalks it up to the Israel-Hamas war. As Townhall has covered ever since the October 7 terrorist attack, polls show that Americans overall support Israel, but that that support is dwindling, and that support from Democrats and young people is particularly lacking.

“President Joe Biden’s approval rating has declined to the lowest level of his presidency — 40% — as strong majorities of all voters disapprove of his handling of foreign policy and the Israel-Hamas war, according to the latest national NBC News poll,” the write-up began by mentioning. While just 40 percent approve of how Biden is handling his presidency, 57 percent disapprove.

To be sure, young people weren’t only quoted discussing what support Biden has had for Israel, but it was still mentioned, with the write-up noting that the 70 percent of those voters ages 18 to 34 who disapprove of Biden’s handling of the war is a “whopping” figure. . .

It’s worth wondering what that will take, though. Will Biden give up on Israel? His administration has already announced aid to Gaza, despite how it could be intercepted by Hamas, as well as renewed a waiver on sanctions so as to grant funding to Iran via purchases from Iraq. This is despite how Iran supported Hamas in the October 7 terrorist attack perpetrated against Israel. . .

There are also reports of Democrats now demanding that aid to Israel be conditioned, despite how every Senate Democrats and many House Democrats haven’t even approved such aid yet. While a standalone bill providing aid and paid for with IRS funding cuts passed the House with bipartisan support, Senate Democrats have blocked the bill multiple times. Biden has also threatened to veto such a bill if it’s not tied to funding Ukraine. (Read more from “Will New NBC Poll Cause Biden to Abandon Israel?” HERE)

WATCH: Biden Baffles Turkey Pardon Guests With Joke That Confuses Taylor Swift and Britney Spears

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Joe Biden appeared to have some difficulty differentiating between pop stars when he made a few off-the-cuff comments during Monday’s ceremonial turkey pardon at the White House.

Biden was explaining just how difficult the selection process was to find the turkeys for the pardon, and attempted to compare that to how challenging it could be to secure tickets for popular concerts — such as Taylor Swift’s The Eras Tour, which was so popular that it was released in theaters. His comparison went sideways, however, when he appeared to confuse Swift with Britney Spears and Beyonce.

“Liberty and Bell had to beat some tough odds, competition,” Biden said of the turkeys. “Harder than getting a ticket to The Renaissance Tour — or, or to Britney’s tour, she’s down in – it’s kind of warm in Brazil right now.”

But unfortunately for Biden, the joke was more confusing than it was funny. The Renaissance Tour — which was Beyonce’s recent outing, ended on October 1 in Kansas City. Britney Spears is not touring at all, and hasn’t since her tenth outing in 2018, her Piece of Me Tour.
