Hunter indictment designed specifically
to avoid Joe Biden
Posted By: FlyRight, 12/8/2023 4:37:15 PM
The 56-page indictment of Hunter Biden for tax evasion makes for racy reading, with the special counsel describing a four-year criminal pattern directed at maintaining Biden’s “extravagant lifestyle.” That lifestyle included massive expenses for strippers, sex clubs, fast cars and other distractions. The steps taken by Hunter to evade taxes are impressive, but not nearly as impressive as the efforts of the Justice Department to evade any direct implications for his father, President Biden. In that sense, the indictment itself is a marvel of evasion. There are three glaring omissions in the indictment that tend to shield critical payments and conduct that implicate the president.

Half a century ago, George Orwell, writing on literary censorship, wrote that “unpopular ideas can be silenced, and inconvenient facts kept dark, without the need for any official ban.”
That dynamic now broadly extends to an opaque network of government agencies and self-proclaimed anti-misinformation groups that have repressed online speech.
There’s no official ban on discussing the efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines or criticizing American involvement in the Ukraine-Russia war, but editors and journalists have realized that writing on such topics can come at a cost.
News publishers have been demonetized and shadow-banned for reporting dissenting views and the bureaucratic means for enforcing this form of control are under increasing scrutiny.
The Biden administration made two virtue-signaling proclamations at last week’s COP28 conference in Dubai it says will help save the planet from climate change.
The policies aren’t likely to change the planet’s temperature by even one-tenth of a degree, but they might just destroy the 21st-century American industrial economy as we know it.
First, Team Biden announced it will stop production of all new coal plants in the United States.
This comes on the heels of President Biden’s Environmental Protection Agency saying this year it would impose new power-plant emission regulations that are virtually impossible for coal plants to comply with.
The bottom line: no more coal. Period.
“I did not leave with optimism,” Mayor Adams confessed last week, after spending a day in Washington cadging spare change.
Bonaparte might have said the same of his visit to Russia, in 1812.
But it gets worse:
“It’s going to be up to New Yorkers to navigate this challenge that we are facing,” he said – the challenge being the migration-driven fiscal tsunami now bearing down on his city.
The thing about tsunamis, of course, is that they are not navigable. Pretending otherwise, as a matter of public policy, is either foolish or dishonest.
Pick one.

The London-based TV station ‘Iran International’ and the news website ‘Semafor’ sent shockwaves through Europe and America in September when they revealed that an influential organization known as the Iran Experts Initiative (IEI), which had consistently lobbied and advised EU governments and the European Parliament, was in fact fashioned and directed by Tehran, stirring profound implications for global diplomacy and security. Based on an avalanche of leaked emails, the two news organizations showed how the IEI had been created by the mullahs’ regime in 2014 “to improve Tehran’s image abroad.”
Far-left billionaire George Soros has funneled more than $50 million to a network of Iran-sympathizer groups whose members have gained significant sway within the Biden White House — pushing to defang US sanctions on Tehran while advocating for a renewed nuclear deal.
A Post examination of Soros’ Open Society Foundations records shows the progressive kingmaker has given a staggering $46.7 million since 2016 to the International Crisis Group, a lefty think tank tied to an alleged Iranian plot to manipulate US policy.
University of Pennsylvania President Liz Magill – under increasing pressure from both donors and the White House after her disastrous testimony before Congress this week on the school’s failure to protect Jewish students – and Scott L. Bok, chairman of its board of trustees, “voluntarily” resigned their posts Saturday in a massive Ivy League shakeup, the school announced.
“I write to share that President Liz Magill has voluntarily tendered her resignation as President of the University of Pennsylvania,” Bok wrote in a surprise “University Notification” sent to staffers Saturday.
Dumb, Dumber, Dumbest

Watching Congresswoman Elise Stefanik’s questioning of the presidents of MIT, Harvard, and the University of Pennsylvania may have been eye-opening for many, but for those of us who have been paying attention, it wasn’t. Their answers were dumb and once the full extent of their discriminatory policies are exposed in private litigation and Title VI federal and congressional investigations, it will be clear why they answered as they did hoping to avoid the scrutiny they deserve. Even dumber are the students being taught at these and most of our colleges and universities. Dumbest are the boards which have for the past decades ignored the policies which have led to this,
An elderly Palestinian woman bravely took Hamas to task for hoarding international aid meant for desperate civilians during an interview with Al Jazeera inside the Gaza Strip Wednesday, according to a DC-based media research institute.
The unidentified woman condemned the terror group that controls Gaza, apparently unbothered by the potential consequences, as she spoke openly to the reporter for the Qatar-backed station with others standing around her, according to the footage and translation shared by the Middle East Media Research Institute. The clip provided by MEMRI begins with the interviewer asking the woman about the lack of food or water in the area.

A woman attempted to burn down Martin Luther King Jr.’s birth home, arriving with a gas canister and dousing the historic property in fuel Thursday.

Two tourists from Utah viewing the home were able to intervene to stop the suspect, police said.
One witness recalled the suspect began to grow irritated after she was having trouble spreading the fuel around the property, according to FOX 5 Atlanta.

National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said the intelligence community was not aware of a document detailing militant group Hamas’ plans to attack Israel that The New York Times reported on last week.
“The intelligence community has indicated that they did not have access to this document that there’s no indications at this time if they had any access to this document beforehand,” Kirby said when NBC’s Kristen Welker asked him about The Times’ report on “Meet the Press.”
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Ballistic missiles fired by Yemen’s Houthi rebels struck three commercial ships Sunday in the Red Sea, while a U.S. warship shot down three drones in self-defense during the hourslong assault, the U.S. military said. The Iranian-backed Houthis claimed two of the attacks.
The strikes marked an escalation in a series of maritime attacks in the Mideast linked to the Israel-Hamas war, as multiple vessels found themselves in the crosshairs of a single Houthi assault for the first time in the conflict. The U.S. vowed to “consider all appropriate responses” in the wake of the attack, specifically calling out Iran,

Global warming charlatan Al Gore appeared on CNN on Sunday and told host Jake Tapper that there is a mental health crisis around the world because of the unsolved ‘climate change’ crisis.
“There is a mental health crisis around the world, I think that one of the main reasons for that is that young people look at the fact that we are not yet solving the climate crisis,” Al Gore said on CNN’s “State of the Union” on Sunday.
“We hear the word thrown around ‘poly-crisis.’ Well, solving the climate crisis is a ‘poly-solution.’ We know what to do. We have the means to do it.

During the interview, Fauci and Kay were walking down the hallway of a building. Suddenly, he pointed out to her the Catholic chapel where he was married. But then he revealed he didn't go there anymore, and that practicing was a "thing that I don't really need to do." (X Video) “A number of complicated reasons,” he said. “First of all, I think my own personal ethics on life are I think enough to keep me going on the right path.”
After meeting with congressional leaders and members of the Biden administration Thursday, New York City Mayor Eric Adams said he was not optimistic about getting help from the federal government to deal with the illegal immigration crisis his city is dealing with. Adams noted in a Friday press conference that the city's residents are weary, angry, and "seeing the impact of the migrant and asylum seeker issue, how it is taking away from the resources that should go to the day‑to‑day services of running the city." He said that he "did not walk out from D.C. with any level of optimism that anything is going to drastically change."
Abu Obeida, the masked spokesman for Hamas’ military wing, threatened on Sunday to kill all the remaining hostages taken during the Oct. 7 attacks unless Israel cedes to demands for more aid and prisoner exchanges.Speaking on a recorded broadcast reviewed by the Times of Israel, Obeida called Israel "fascist" and "arrogant":
Neither the fascist enemy and its arrogant leadership… nor its supporters… can take their prisoners alive without an exchange and negotiation and meeting the demands of the resistance.
Despite the fact that Israel Defense Forces is rapidly gaining ground in Gaza and large numbers of Hamas fighters have been surrendering, the terror leader vowed
Driving through Manhattan could soon become more expensive for drivers in New York City, as transportation authorities there have approved a congestion pricing plan. Some critics have criticized the move because it does not exempt taxis and Ubers, passing the cost along to those who don't drive.[SNIP] While it would require most drivers to pay a $15 base fare for entering the central business district south of 60th Street in Manhattan, there will be discounts available for low-income drivers.

The so-called 'porn Dem,' Susanna Gibson, who lost her Virginia House of Delegates race last month after webcam videos of her having sex with her husband were exposed, says she was victim of 'hit job' and is determined to find out who was responsible for leaking the clips.
Gibson, a Democrat whose House of Delegates campaign and personal life were rocked by news reports that she had live-streamed sex acts with her husband on a pornographic website, says she wouldn't wish the humiliation on her worst enemy.
In today's 'oh spare us' news, the left is having an absolute cow over Israeli troops flushing out Hamas terrorists from their snake holes and then forcing them to strip down to their underwear to prove to that yes, they were surrendering, and no, they didn't have a gun in their pants or a shiv in their shoes, or a strap-on bomb in their pocket, or a dynamite pack in some orifice, which is a pretty standard military safety precaution.

Twice-failed presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton will step into a major role to help Joe Biden’s 2024 reelection bid.
According to NBC News, Hillary Clinton hosted a fundraiser at her home last month and raised $1 million for Joe Biden.
“People close to Hillary Clinton anticipate she’ll be a tireless campaigner for the Biden campaign, rallying Democratic voters by laying out the stakes and explaining why a Trump victory could subvert America’s democratic norms,” NBC News reported.
“Clinton’s role is only expected to grow in the new year, but for now, she is filling a space that at a later point in the campaign season former President Barack Obama will join.
After the past week's Congressional hearings, the presidents of Harvard University, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and the University of Pennsylvania are being exposed to an amount of publicity and scrutiny they're not used to and likely wish would go away. As we reported, the trio claimed that calls for genocide against Jews needed to be placed into context before deciding whether they violated student codes of conduct.
The backlash was swift, and so was the backpedaling. UPenn's Liz Magill wasn't able to keep her job, though, and Harvard's Claudine Gay might not be far behind.
Gay has already had a rough tenure, as investigative journalist Chris Rufo writes:
