The Department of Justice announced the arrest of Chinese national Shenghua Wen Tuesday on a series of weapons trafficking and illegal possession charges. Wen is in the U.S. illegally after overstaying a student visa.
"According to an affidavit filed on Nov. 26 with the complaint, Wen obtained firearms, ammunition, and export-controlled technology with the intention of shipping them to North Korea — a violation of federal law and United States sanctions against that nation. Wen and his co-conspirators allegedly exported shipments of firearms and ammunition to North Korea by concealing the items inside shipping containers that were shipped from Long Beach through Hong Kong to North Korea,"
President Joe Biden didn’t pardon Hunter because he’s a loving father who thinks his drug addict son was treated unfairly by the Justice Department. He pardoned Hunter to help cover up his own crimes, just as he’ll likely pardon other members of his family... He’s trying to protect himself, and this is one of the only ways he has left to do it. [Snip] In the end, the president might keep his son and other family members out of jail with last-minute pardons, but once the truth comes out,...,Biden will likely go down in history as one of the most corrupt presidents in American history.
President-elect Donald Trump is considering replacing Pete Hegseth, his controversial pick to lead the Pentagon, with one-time 2024 rival, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, people familiar with the discussions told The Wall Street Journal Tuesday.
The move comes as Hegseth, a 44-year-old Army veteran and former Fox News personality, faces increasing scrutiny over allegations of sexual misconduct and financial mismanagement. The defense secretary post requires Senate confirmation and Hegseth faces an increasingly uphill battle to win over GOP members with concerns about his past.
Many Americans were outraged on Sunday after learning that President Joe Biden had issued a sweeping pardon to his son, Hunter. [Snip] Solomon said, “You can’t bring criminal charges against Hunter Biden, but there’s nothing that prevents the Trump Justice Department from filing a fraud case and seeking civil remedy and taking money from him and other members of the family on allegations that they reported false information. They committed fraud. [Snip] A pardon doesn’t protect you from civil actions.” [Snip] “He no longer will be able to deny or say ‘I don’t want to testify in any proceedings because I invoke my Fifth Amendment right against incrimination.’
Rep. Jared Moskowitz of Florida became the first Democrat to join the House’s GOP-led DOGE Caucus.
"Today, I will join the Congressional DOGE Caucus, because I believe that streamlining government processes and reducing ineffective government spending should not be a partisan issue," Moskowitz said in a statement.
The Delivering Outstanding Government Efficiency Caucus will support a new advisory commission with the same acronym led by Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy. The Department of Government Efficiency will seek to cut regulations and reduce wasteful government spending.
"I've been clear there are ways we can reorganize our government to make it work better for the American people.
The California federal judge overseeing Hunter Biden’s tax charges issued a scathing five-page ruling in response to President Joe Biden’s pardon of his son, saying that the president justified his pardon with reasons that are false and offensive.
Judge Mark C. Scarsi wrote Tuesday that the reasons listed in “the President’s statement” for pardoning his son “stand in tension with the case record,” and while the president has the power to pardon, “nowhere does the Constitution give the President the authority to rewrite history.”
“The President asserts that Mr. Biden ‘was treated differently’
Joe Biden henchman and U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland is reportedly urging employees of the Department of Justice not to leave as the Trump administration prepares to take power.
According to The Washington Post, Garland is concerned that staffers plan to leave because they do not want to be part of Donald Trump’s DOJ.
The report states:
Attorney General Merrick Garland and top Justice Department officials are encouraging career staffers to remain in their jobs through the next administration, stressing that institutional knowledge is important as a new leaders take hold, according to people familiar with those conversations.
Today, Nate Cohn has an analysis of polling data collected by the NY Times and Siena College. What it shows is exactly what this earlier Vox article also found. Democrats did not lose the 2024 election because of turnout. Put another way, they didn't lose because the progressive base was unenthusiastic and decided to stay home. They lost because swing voters turned away from them and toward Donald Trump.
The low turnout among traditionally Democratic-leaning groups — especially nonwhite voters — was a reflection of lower support for Harris: Millions of Democrats soured on their party
The Federal Bureau of Investigation is looking into a series of mysterious drone sightings over Central New Jersey in recent weeks, not far from President-elect Donald Trump’s Bedminster golf course.
Federal aviation officials have shut down the airspace over the private club as well as a nearby army facility after several residents reported seeing suspicious drones flying overhead in the past two weeks.
“Witnesses have spotted the cluster of what look to be drones and a possible fixed-wing aircraft,” the FBI Newark wrote in a joint statement with NJ State Police and NJ Office of Homeland Security and Preparedness, noting they’ve received reports from both the public and law enforcement
Canada’s vapid and callow Prime Minister Justin Trudeau made an emergency trip to Mar-a-Lago Friday to see the president-elect. Trudeau was thoroughly alarmed over Trump’s threat to impose a 25% tariff on Canada (as well as Mexico) if they don't do anything to stop the flow of illegal migrants and drugs into the United States. Trudeau was clearly hoping to talk some socialist internationalist sense into Bad Orange Man, but instead, the vacant-faced Canadian authoritarian got a response that was pure Trump, and revealed once again how deeply Trump holds his America-First principles.
A federal court has just pooped in the oatmeal of the West Coast, Messed Coast™governors and local election officials suffering from acute cases of Trump Derangement Syndrome who think they can stop illegal alien deportations. And after this hilarious and thorough legal takedown from the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, they may never recover.

President Joe Biden, when he pardoned his son, conceded his own Department of Justice (DOJ) is politically motivated, attorneys for President-elect Donald Trump wrote in a Monday filing.
In their latest motion to dismiss Trump’s New York case, defense attorneys pointed to Biden’s claim that his son was “selectively, and unfairly, prosecuted” with political motives that lead to a “miscarriage of justice” as further justification for ending proceedings. “These comments amounted to an extraordinary condemnation of President Biden’s own DOJ,” Trump’s attorneys wrote. “This is the same DOJ that coordinated and oversaw the politically-motivated, election-interference witch hunts targeting President Trump by disgraced Special Counsel Jack Smith,
Kash Patel, President-elect Donald Trump’s nominee for FBI director, unofficially begins his confirmation process with a firm footing as some Republican senators already support him, and others are expressing an open mind.
The Allbritton Journalism Insitute (NOTUS) reported Monday night that all GOP Senators appear to be headed into Patel’s confirmation process with an open mind at a minimum.Establishment centrist Republican Sens. Susan Collins (R-ME) and Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) indicated on Monday that they would head into hearings impartially, which is a contrast to their public opposition to former Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) when he was the nominee for attorney general weeks ago.
President Biden should pardon President-elect Donald Trump of “all charges,” outgoing Sen. Joe Manchin (I-WV) told CNN Tuesday.
Manchin, who occasionally blocked Biden’s agenda over the last four years, is among a growing faction who hope Biden will bring down the political temperature in the final days of his presidency.“What I would have done differently, and my recommendations and counsel would have been, why don’t you go ahead and pardon Donald Trump for all his charges?” Manchin said. “He would have gone down as a lot more balanced, if you will.”
CNN anchor Kaitlan Collins called President Joe Biden’s pardon of his son Hunter Biden a “political timebomb” that left Dems in “the blast radius” — and pointed out his hypocrisy after years of claiming he would respect the Justice Department’s rulings.
The Democratic president late Sunday pardoned Hunter, who was convicted of federal gun and tax evasion charges earlier this year, after repeatedly denying he would use his pardoning powers for his 54-year-old son.
“With 50 days left in his presidency, Joe Biden just set off a political timebomb before leaving for Africa today, and leaving his party behind to deal with the blast radius,” Collins said Monday night
An unknown disease has killed 143 people in the Congo in an outbreak that has alarmed health officials and the World Health Organization. Patients suffered from flu-like symptoms, including a high fever and severe headache, local officials say, with women and children reported to be most seriously affected. Deaths are being recorded in Kwango province, in the Southwest of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and on its border with Angola. (Snip) Officials say the situation is 'extremely worrying' and that the death toll is rising rapidly. On November 25, they had reported 67 deaths from the disease. Patients
Conservatives ripped a social media account associated with House Democrats on Tuesday over a deleted post suggesting the economy is strong and seemingly minimizing the struggles of those who have difficulty affording groceries. "And here we were thinking y'all couldnt afford eggs!" the Ways and Means Democrats posted on X on Tuesday with a screenshot of an X post from journalist Paul Brandus that said, "Record air travel, holiday shopping busting records, stock market at all-time highs. The economy is 'the worst ever,' some Pollyannas whine."
The post, which has since been deleted by the Ways and Means Democrats, sparked backlash from conservatives on social media.

Under enormous pressure, South Korean president Yoon Suk Yeol said he will reverse his decision to impose martial law following mass parliamentary opposition and sustained protests early Wednesday morning in Seoul.
Yoon declared martial law Tuesday and banned “all political activities” in the southeast Asian nation, setting off shockwaves around the world and prompting an immediate vote to reverse the order from members of parliament.
Yoon delivered an address announcing his declaration of martial law to root out purported North Korean forces and sidestep legislative gridlock from political opposition that he likened to a dictatorship, the Korea Times reported.

Victor Willis, a founding member of the Village People and co-writer of the popular “Y.M.C.A.” disco song from 1978, defended Donald Trump using the single during his presidential campaign and said the tune was “not really a gay anthem.”
The 73-year-old songwriter wrote a lengthy Facebook post explaining that the popular song was based on his perception of the organization, saying he “knew nothing about the Y being a hang out for gays.” Y.M.C.A. is an acronym for the Young Men’s Christian Association nonprofit.

Joe Biden doesn't like coal. I mean, he really, really doesn't like it. What's more, coal is mainly located in red states and employs a lot of conservative voters.
Biden decided to deliver a parting shot to coal-producing states and those whose livelihoods depend on mining. The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) recently approved an amendment to the Resource Management Plan (RMP) that would ban new coal leases in Wyoming's Powder River Basin and make "48.12 billion short tons of coal unavailable for leasing consideration in order to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions as a proxy for climate change," said BLM Buffalo, Wyo., field manager Todd Yeager.
Former "Meet the Press" host Chuck Todd unleashed sharp criticism of President Joe Biden and first lady Jill Biden, calling their decision for Joe Biden to run for president selfish.
But he wasn’t talking about 2024.
Todd was actually talking about 2020, during a period when their son Hunter Biden was reportedly turning their grieving daughter-in-law into an addict.
Todd’s remarks came during a Zoom interview with former CNN personality Chris Cillizza, who shared an excerpt of the call on his Substack. The conversation delved into the Biden family’s struggles, particularly against the backdrop of Joe Biden’s controversial decision to pardon Hunter
A caravan of about 1,500 migrants left southern Mexico on Sunday night en route to the United States in hopes of getting across the border and into the country before President-elect Donald Trump takes office again next month.
But the caravan’s start comes as Mexican leaders continue their crackdown on immigrants traveling to the U.S. Two other caravans that started heading north from southern Mexico last month were recently broken up by Mexican authorities, according to news reports.
The effort to break up the two caravans appeared to be part
MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski desperately tried to defend President Biden’s decision to pardon his son Hunter — even accusing mainstream liberal media of being “hysterically imbalanced” in giving so much coverage to the commander-in-chief’s shocking about-face.
The lefty “Morning Joe” anchors slammed mainstream media for going into overkill in deriding Biden’s sudden reversal on his promise not to let his son walk free after the president announced a “full and unconditional” pardon for Hunter on Sunday, calling their criticisms “completely out of step with reality.”
“You know, the New York Times, like, the top six stories online today were all about the pardon,”
Commit a crime, get deported before doing the time.
Mayor Eric Adams said Tuesday that he’s open to deporting migrants from New York City who have been charged with crimes — a shift from his past stance of waiting for convictions before shipping off immigrant criminals.
Adams said he soon plans to meet with President-elect Donald Trump’s new “border czar” Tom Homan on the incoming administration’s plans to potentially deport accused migrant criminals.
“My position is people who commit crimes in our city, you have abdicated your right to be in our city and I am open to figure out the best way to address that,” he said.
Retiring President Biden noted Tuesday that he’s leaving office next month — telling an audience in Angola that “you don’t have to clap” — after stumbling and referring to the country as a “city.”
“Ladies and gentlemen, as you know, I’m in the final weeks of my presidency. You don’t have to clap for that. You can if you want,” Biden, 82, said while speaking behind a glass barrier streaked by rain.
The lame duck began his highly anticipated speech on an awkward note when he hailed “Angola, a vibrant city” before attempting to mop up the gaffe.
“Look, not the city,” he added. “The city, I know, is not Angola.
On Tuesday, Florida’s Miami-Dade County Commission approved the city of Hialeah’s request for county recognition of its tribute to President Trump with a street named in his honor, allowing the city to hang the street signs on county property.
The city successfully named the street “Donald J. Trump Avenue” last year, and now the county has officially recognized it.
The Mayor of Hialeah, Florida, vowed to President Trump at a rally in Hialeah, Florida on November 8, 2023, that he would rename the street and unveiled a big “Donald J. Trump Avenue” street sign.

Though many in the mainstream media are in full-blown Democrat apologist mode (more so than normal) in the aftermath of Joe Biden's "full and unconditional" pardoning of his son, convicted felon Hunter Biden, there are some for who the lame-duck president's 11th-hour actions in invoking Democrat Privilege are the last straw.Surprisingly, NBC News chief political analyst Chuck Todd is one of them. Todd, as RedState readers will recall, has for years been what I have previously described as the quintessential media water carrier for the Biden administration and the Biden family on the whole, no matter the issue.

Prosecutors have shown grisly evidence at Daniel Penny's trial just moments before the judge sent the jury for deliberations.
The 26-year-old Marine veteran denies charges of manslaughter and negligent homicide after the May 2023 death of Jordan Neely on a New York City subway car.
Neely died on the floor of the uptown-bound F train in Manhattan after Penny placed him in a chokehold for six minutes to stop him threatening commuters.Assistant District Attorney Dafna Yoran on Tuesday displayed a graphic photo of inside Neely's eye, taken during an autopsy after his death, which shocked the room.
A former Houston FBI agent has been convicted for repeatedly stealing money while conducting searches, including from a Jan. 6 protestor.
Nicholas Anthony Williams stole more than $10,000 during searches and faces up to 10 years in federal prison and potentially a $250,000 fine. He was convicted in September and will be sentenced in January. This incident highlights once again the corruption within the FBI, the need for reform, and also the unfair treatment of Jan. 6 protestors.

ActBlue is the Democratic Party's main fundraising arm, and it is a cesspool of fraud and corruption.
It's not like this is a particular secret. It is common knowledge in political circles that the organization facilitates "smurfing," which is a method of laundering illegal campaign contributions through straw donors. It is a way to break up enormous political contributions that exceed campaign contribution limits into smaller donations that evade scrutiny.
Over the years the organization has gotten ever more blatant, laundering contributions through the identities of real people by making contributions in their names without their knowledge.
In dealing with his enemies in the Deep State, President Trump could follow one of two paths. One would be the path of peace, reconciliation, and forgiveness. This would certainly be easier in the short term and also garner approval from insiders and the media. Alternatively, he could seek to clean house and punish the worst and most insubordinate offenders from his first term. Which path Trump should take all depends on whether one believes the last eight years were normal partisan squabbles or if one believes that something monumental happened
You think I'm kidding, but I'm not. Joe Biden, the president who was elected to return the country to normalcy but failed about as miserably and completely in that goal as a human being can, put a coda on his disastrous presidency by pardoning his son for everything Hunter did or thought about doing for an 11-year period. And Democrats, still reeling from losing the election three weeks ago, are just now beginning to realize the utter destruction to their movement the 46th president has wrought.

It's not a procedure you'd expect a 28-year-old to be planning. But for Lydia Echols from Texas, having her fallopian tubes removed is the price she's willing to pay to ensure her reproductive rights. Newsweek spoke to five women who have either undergone sterilization procedures or plan to in the wake of President-elect Donald Trump's victory on November 5. They all expressed fear their reproductive choices will be taken from them under Trump's administration. "If I am to be denied any rights in the next four (or more) years, I will not give them up without a fight," Echols said.

President Joe Biden’s claims about his son being selectively prosecuted were unfounded, special counsel David Weiss’s office said in new filings on Dec. 2.
“There has never been any evidence of vindictive or selective prosecution in this case,” Weiss and other federal prosecutors told a federal judge in Delaware.

South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol declared emergency martial law Tuesday, accusing the opposition party of plotting “insurgency” and “trying to overthrow the free democracy.” President Yoon used a national television address Tuesday night to accuse the opposition Democratic Party, which holds a majority in the National Assembly, of blocking his budgets and attempting to impeach members of his administration rather than participating in the process of governing. Yoon labeled the opposition’s actions as “clear anti-state behavior aimed at inciting rebellion.” He further claimed these acts have “paralyzed state affairs and turned the National Assembly into a den of criminals.”

The Biden administration might be in its final days but that doesn’t mean the flow of lethal U.S. weaponry to Ukraine shows any sign of slowing. Far from it.
That was confirmed Monday when an additional $725 million in military assistance, including counter-drone systems and munitions for its High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS), was announced by the White House.
AP reports it is unclear whether the munitions for the HIMARS are the coveted ATACMS — the Army Tactical Missile System — but Ukraine has been pressing for more of the longer-range missiles to strike additional targets inside Russia.
The U.S. Postal Service says it will indefinitely suspend deliveries of international mail to Canada due to a strike by the Canadian Union of Postal Workers.
Canadian officials have indicated the country cannot process mail from the U.S. while the strike is underway.

If you’ve never heard the word “impoundment” before, you will – often – next year. And for good reason. Because this battle will determine whether government spending can ever be brought under control.
Last year, President-elect Donald Trump said that “For 200 years under our system of government, it was undisputed that the president had the constitutional power to stop unnecessary spending through what is known as impoundment.”
Since he’s been elected, he’s given every indication that he intends to reclaim this power. Indeed, the success of his “Department of Government Efficiency” run by Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy depends heavily
Daniel Penny was greeted with shouts of “Guilty!” as he arrived in court Monday morning ahead of closing arguments in his lightning-rod Manhattan manslaughter trial in the chokehold death of Jordan Neely.
Penny, 26, strolled into Manhattan Supreme Court around 10:15 a.m. flanked by his attorneys Thomas Kenniff and Steven Raiser — as a 12-person jury will hear final remarks from prosecutors and the defense before the panel begins deliberations.
A group of a dozen protesters chanted, “Guilty! Guilty! Guilty!” as the Marine veteran exited a black SUV outside the 100 Centre St. courthouse.

Whoopi Goldberg and her lefty cohorts on “The View” went to the mat Monday in defense of President Biden’s sweeping pardon of his son Hunter, writing it off as just “what presidents do” and dismissing criticism of the controversial move as “foolish” and “pearl-clutching.”

The word on the streets of D.C. and among the media swells is that Democrats are demoralized, shocked, and devastated, that they are blaming everyone but themselves and Kamala Harris for their losses. Only Carville is furious at the right people — young, arrogant campaign workers and Kamala herself. Curiously, it was Carville who once said “When you dehumanize a group, there’s lasting consequences because they know that they’re being dehumanized.” Well dehumanize us they certainly did.

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre claimed Monday that President Biden pardoned his son Hunter Biden of tax and gun crimes because “war politics” prompted Hunter’s prosecution — while insisting the Justice Department is not broadly politically biased, as President-elect Donald Trump claims.
Jean-Pierre used the term “war politics” three times as she fielded fiery questions aboard Air Force One from journalists as Biden, 82, flew to Angola for an official visit hours after the pardon, which Biden said was necessary because his son was being “selectively, and unfairly, prosecuted.”

As The Gateway Pundit’s Kristinn Taylor reported, Joe Biden last night granted his son Hunter Biden a blanket pardon in the federal gun and tax cases against him Sunday night after promising several times he would never do so.

President Biden was adamant that his son “Hunter was treated differently” when he broke his public pledge and issued a rare sweeping pardon spanning almost 11 years for his troubled son late Sunday.
But the 54-year-old is far from the only one to have been charged with similar firearm and tax evasion crimes.
Several legal experts believe that he already received favorable treatment than others who have committed comparable transgressions.

Good old ‘Hanoi’ Jane Fonda recently appeared on Bill Maher’s podcast and played dumb on the topic of fare left policies.
When Maher suggested that the extreme left is one of the reasons that Joe Biden lost the election, Fonda stupidly asks him ‘who is the far left?’ as if she doesn’t know. When Maher uses the example of leftists saying that men can get pregnant, she claims to have never heard anyone say this.
Maher tells her that she likely watches media that never tells her any of this, which is likely correct. Fonda is probably MSNBC’s number one fan.
The Hunter Biden pardon is an outrage.
It is not just leniency for Hunter’s two criminal convictions, it’s part of a long-running coverup of the alleged influence-peddling operation perpetrated by the whole Biden family – including Joe.
If we let this go without further investigation and exposure, the Bidens will walk away from the White House with no accountability for their alleged ill-gotten gains.he Hunter pardon was a shock, but not a surprise. Nobody seriously believed Joe when he vowed repeatedly not to pardon his son. Nobody believed hapless White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre when she was sent out many times to repeat the lie.
Oh, the shamelessness of Karine Jean-Pierre: The White House press secretary on Monday defended President Biden’s pardon of son Hunter as justified because of “how politically infected these cases were” — that “war politics infected the process and it led to a miscarriage of justice.”
What garbage.
First off, KJP herself had insisted repeatedly and vehemently that Joe wouldn’t pardon Hunter — even after the First Son was convicted.
Is she claiming the “political infection” somehow popped up in the last two months?
Second, all the prosecuting was done by the Biden Justice Department, yet she has not a word of blame for Attorney General Merrick Garland for failing to stop the “infection.”

California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) convened the state legislature for a special session on Monday designed to “Trump-proof” the state, including by passing $25 million for use in lawsuits against the incoming administration.
As Breitbart News noted after the election in November, Newsom announced the special session — not to deal with pressing problems facing the state, but rather for the political purpose of leading the so-called “resistance” (i.e. opposition) to President-elect Donald Trump. Trump responded on Truth Social, saying Newsom was “using the term ‘Trump-Proof’ as a way of stopping all of the GREAT things that can be done to ‘Make California Great Again’.”
