Hunter Biden pleaded guilty Thursday to all nine federal tax charges he faced, staving off his second criminal trial this year just before it was set to begin, according to The Associated Press.
In a stunning and last-minute twist, U.S. District Judge Mark Scarsi accepted the plea change on the same day jury selection was scheduled to get underway in Los Angeles federal court. Biden admitted to withholding at least $1.4 million in taxes over four years in the throes of his addiction to cocaine, spending it instead on a lavish lifestyle.

Colt Gray was given the gun he used to shoot dead four people at his Georgia high school as a Christmas present from his father months after they were questioned by the FBI over alleged threats.
The 14-year-old was arrested on Wednesday at Apalachee High School in Winder, minutes after authorities say he opened fire on students and teachers.
Law enforcement sources told CNN Thursday that the teenage shooter received the gun for the holidays this past December.

As District Attorney of San Francisco, Kamala Harris proposed a program for drug dealers that would have allowed criminals to only be charged for selling narcotics on their third arrest.
San Francisco’s chief of police at the time sent an October 24, 2005 letter to Harris declining to participate in the program, “Operation Safe Streets,” according to a copy of the letter obtained by The Daily Wire.
“This proposal asks us not to arrest, but instead detain and release observed narcotics sales suspects pursuant to Penal Code Section 849(b) P.C. When the same suspect is arrested the third time for narcotics sales, your office would then charge all three counts,”

Kamala Harris has been ducking reporters and not answering questions. She gave one softball interview — but with the aid of her "emotional support governor," Tim Walz. But now the debate is quickly approaching on September 10. As we reported, they are now trying to argue that Harris is "fundamentally disadvantaged" by having the mics muted when she's not speaking.
But that's the very point that Joe Biden asked for — former President Donald Trump didn't ask for that. So, once again, right out of the box, the Harris team is being dishonest about that. Harris was also the one insisting on how they had to keep to the rules/date

The Republican and Democratic conventions are over, and it’s clear which party was the favorite of taxpayer-supported PBS in their nightly three hours of live coverage in prime time. Not even the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump quelled the overwhelming negativity with which the PBS panel greeted the Republican Party Convention (RNC) in Milwaukee in July.
Yet a month later, Vice-President Kamala Harris and a familiar crew of Democratic faces were greeted rapturously by the same network at the Democratic Party Convention (DNC) in Chicago.

On Thursday, Judge Tanya Chutkan held a status conference to address the Supreme Court’s presidential immunity ruling in Jack Smith’s January 6 case against Trump.
Judge Chutkan came out swinging against the Supreme Court’s ruling on presidential immunity, saying the upcoming election is “not relevant.”
Chutkan did not issue a ruling, but she is expected to release a scheduling order as soon as Thursday evening.
President Trump and Special Counsel Jack Smith presented opposing arguments for how the January 6 case will proceed in a joint status report filed last Friday night ahead of Thursday’s status conference.

Something just doesn’t add up in the ascension of Kamala Harris to the Democrat party’s presidential nomination. A key link is missing in the chain of events.
Consider the facts of the case:
(1) By no means was Harris the first draft choice to grab the nomination, having failed to distinguish herself as a presidential candidate in 2020 or subsequently as Vice President.
(2) Within minutes of Joe Biden’s withdrawal from the race, she received his endorsement and was anointed as the putative nominee.
(3) Quotations attributed to Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama have appeared in the press expressing, in retrospect, a preference for having had an open convention, or, in Pelosi’s reputed words,

Washington— In the first court hearing in nearly a year, a lawyer for Donald Trump clashed on Thursday with the judge in the federal election interference prosecution of the former president after suggesting the government was rushing forward with an “illegitimate” indictment at the height of the White House campaign.
Prosecutors and defense lawyers are bitterly at odds over the next steps in the case after the Supreme Court narrowed the scope of the prosecution by ruling that former presidents are entitled to broad immunity from criminal charges. The dueling proposals and testy courtroom exchanges reflected the extent to which the justices’ July opinion had upended the path of the case

The Georgia high school shooter, who killed four and injured nine others in a rampage on Wednesday, has been pictured for the first time.
The gunman, named as 14-year-old Colt Gray, opened fire at Apalachee High School in Winder shortly after 10.20am - killing two classmates and two teachers.
Barrow County Sheriff Jud Smith said Gray immediately surrendered when confronted by school resource officers at the scene. He has since been charged with four felony counts of murder, and will be tried as an adult, the GBI confirmed.

Las Vegas, Nevada — The annual leadership meeting of the Republican Jewish Coalition kicked off Wednesday amid speculation that more Jews could vote for former President Donald Trump over concerns about Israel and antisemitism.
The gathering, which typically draws hundreds of donors and activists, as well as politicians and candidates, is being held in September this year, rather than in the winter, to have the biggest possible impact at the start of the fall campaign season.American Jews vote overwhelmingly for the Democratic Party, and align themselves with the political left.

Fox News White House correspondent Peter Doocy asked White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre on Wednesday about Vice President Kamala Harris changing several of her policy positions.
Harris said her “values have not changed” during a Thursday interview with CNN despite changing several of her policy positions from the time she served in the U.S. Senate and entered the 2020 presidential race. The press secretary touted Harris’ said accomplishments throughout the past three-and-half years of her vice presidency, crediting her efforts toward the economy and the border crisis.
