Hunter’s Plea Deal Falls Apart as His Law Team is Exposed for Lying to the Court

One of Hunter Biden’s lawyers allegedly contacted the court to get an item removed from evidence that could hurt Hunter. They did so while pretending to be a Republican, a charge they deny. The Judge was having none of it. She threatened to sanction the lawyers (which she still might). She then nullified the plea deal, citing no case law to support it, and not wanting to give Hunter Biden a blank check to avoid further prosecution.

The Judge, U.S. District Judge Maryellen Noreika, a Trump appointee, asked Hunter, “Without me saying I’ll agree to the plea agreement, how do you plead?” Hunter replied, “Not guilty, your honor.”

U.S. Attorney David Weiss of Delaware pointed out one of the charges Hunter faces is tax evasion, saying “Hunter Biden received taxable income in excess of $1,500,000 annually in calendar years 2017 and 2018. Despite owing in excess of $100,000 in federal income taxes each year, he did not pay the income tax due for either year.”

The staffer of the law firm defending Hunter Biden, Jessica Bengals, was accused of pretending to be a Republican when he called into the court. The Judge said “It appears that the caller misrepresented her identity and who she worked for in an attempt to improperly convince the Clerk’s Office to remove the amicus materials from the docket.”

Bengal’s response was “I am completely confident that I never indicated that I was calling from Mr. Kittila’s firm or that I worked with him in any way,”

Kevin McCarthy rightly pointed out that without a GOP-majority in the House the deception behind this plea deal would never have been discovered. In response to this latest development, McCarthy said “If you’re sitting in our position today, we would know none of this if Republicans had not taken the majority. We’ve only followed where the information has taken us. This is rising to the level of impeachment inquiry which provides Congress the strongest power to get the rest of the knowledge and information needed.”

Americans Galvanizing to Destroy DEI In Universities

A Political scientist at Sarah Lawrence College, aptly named Samuel Adams, is leading the charge to aggressively purge our Universities of the anti-American, anti-human ideological program called DEI (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, which are all dog whistles for anti-white racism and heterophobia). He is calling on Universities to not only end DEI corruption but to commit to the Chicago Principles document, which calls for colleges to commit to a “free, robust, and uninhibited debate.” The actions come as Gallop polls show a continued erosion in Americans’ trust of higher learning, with only 36 percent having high confidence in universities, down from 57 percent in 2015, right before DEI began to be unleashed in full force.

He said in his letter calling for collective action targeting universities, universities must not only remove DEI dogma, but must also “sign the Chicago Principles and accept that the bedrock of higher education is viewpoint diversity and debate. They need to demonstrate why investing in a degree is worthwhile and how they truly transform and help students achieve particular goals. Higher education does so much, but many schools are terrible at illustrating just what they do to help students and the communities in which they are located and they could do a lot better.”

Another survey by the Heterodox Academy, released in April of 2023, shows the consequences of this violently anti-Bill-of-Rights dogma being forced on College students. It revealed that 58 percent of college students feel compelled to self-censor in classrooms and on-campus for fear of retaliation by the leftist orthodoxy that has captured these once-American institutions and turned them into cesspools of hate and fear, cesspools of anti-American revolution.

Spanish Left Looks to Survive on Top After Loss

Despite winning the plurality of votes and Parliament seats, the conservatives of Spain are looking at the continuation of a leftist government as Spain’s Prime Minister, Pedro Sanchez, appears ready to form a leftist coalition government with a slim 2-seat majority over the conservatives’ potential for a coalition government.

The deal is not yet a fait accompli as one potential member of the coalition, the pro-independence party, looks for concessions that will restore Catalonian self-determination lost under a government led by this same leftist PM.

From euractiv.com

The secretary general of Junts per Catalunya, Jordi Turull, dismissed on Monday the prospect of a possible endorsement by for Sánchez. “I don’t see an investiture anywhere right now”, he told Rac-1 radio.

Turull urged the Republican Left of Catalonia (ERC) and the rest of Catalan pro-independence forces, whose votes are decisive in forging majorities in the Spanish parliament, to take advantage of this opportunity to “rebuild strategic unity” and jointly propose conditions to Sánchez, which must include “amnesty and self-determination” for Catalonia.

With the conviction that all Catalan pro-independence parties hold the key to building a “progressive alternative majority” in Spain, ERC’s deputy secretary general, Marta Vilalta, on Monday pressed Junts x Catalunya to unite negotiating strengths in Madrid and avoid a  blockade in Parliament.

JPMorgan Chase Determined Epstein “Too Big to Fail,” So Excused His Crimes

The U.S. Virgin islands is accusing JPMorgan Chase of protecting Jeffrey Epstein from criminal prosecution while knowing he was an offending pedophile. The island territory is seeking $190 million from the firm for its role in covering up Epstein’s crimes.

The documents they use show former JP Morgan executive Jes Staley testified under oath that he shared the news of Jeffrey Epstein’s 2006 indictment for CEO Jamie Dimon, which contradicts Dimon’s statements he knew nothing about Epstein’s pedophilic past and accusations.

In the filing, the territory claims, “Many e-mails over JPMorgan e-mail between Staley and Epstein demonstrate that Staley had personal knowledge of Epstein’s sex trafficking.

From the Daily Mail UK:

The bombshell new filing claims that Epstein introduced Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin to former JPMorgan executive Jes Staley by 2003, and that Brin went on to become one of the bank’s wealthiest clients. 

It also alleges that Epstein was a source of ‘many other ultra-wealthy clients and connections’ for JPMorgan, including Bill Gates, former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers, the sultan of Dubai, and billionaire hedge funder Glenn Dubin, among others.

Biden’s China Expert Spoke at Pro-CCP Conference, Just Like Indicted Whistleblower Did

Gal Luft, a whistleblower claiming he has evidence of President Biden’s selling out Americans to the CCP, is being charged with colluding with the Chinese Communist Party for doing the same thing that President Biden’s National Security Council China Director did, give a speech at a pro-CCP event in China. That Director is Paul Haenle, who continues to serve in the anti-American regime.

The event he spoke at was called “The Contemporary World Multilateral Dialogue on Global Trends and China in the Coming Decade,” which was held in Beijing in 2013, while Biden was still Vice President. As a matter of fact, Luft and Haenle spoke on the same panel. Luft might be guilty of sedition, but so is Haenle. However, unlike Haenle, Luft appears to want to make amends for his crimes, turning states evidence, as it were, and the DNC-controlled DOJ must silence this man before he ever gets a chance at exposing their boss, Joe Biden, for the acts of sedition he has been participating in (and continues to do).

Also at that same event was Chen Quitu, who served as President of the Hunter-Biden-linked CEFC China Energy Board.

Putin Raises Age Limits to Expand Military Draft Pool

Russian President Vladimir Putin has pushed through a law that raises the age that a citizen can be mobilized in the military from 50 to 55 in a bid that could indicate  the military is in need of more troops to attempt to finish of Ukraine, a country they invaded after it decided to all but hand over its sovereignty to the west, led by the leftist-run American state. The move could also be primarily about closing loopholes that have allowed people to escape the draft.

The age limit of 55 is applied only to high-ranking officers. Privates and sergeants can be called up at the age of 40, up from 35, while middle-ranking officers can be called up at the age of 50, up from 45.

A Russian NGO that actively helps people escape the draft believes the move signals a new round of mobilization is about to take place. The head of Woods NGO said of the move, “We have to conclude that the lawmakers are expanding the potential pool of manpower that can be called up in case of a likely mobilization.”

The fact that this is being implemented over four years, however, could mean the move is not being made for that purpose.

NASA Has a Battery to Let You Fly

NASA’s Solid State Architecture Batteries for Enhanced Rechargeability and Safety (SABERS) is claiming they have created a solid-state battery that will break the barriers that held back the development of electric-powered planes. Some of the advantages of the new battery include it is not made with the scarce resource of lithium. It is also lighter than lithium-ion batteries, is not highly flammable, and has a greater range than  lithium-ion batteries do.

From oilprice.com:

SABERS has also been able to overcome a major disadvantage associated with solid-state battery technology. Typically, lithium-ion batteries are much more efficient when it comes to discharging power. But through a new innovation SABERS has been able to “increase a solid-state battery’s discharge rate by a factor of 10 – and then by another factor of five,” according to a report from Yahoo! News. 

SABERS’ Rocco Viggiano, an investigator at NASA’s Glenn Research Center in Cleveland said, “We’re starting to approach this new frontier of battery research that could do so much more than lithium-ion batteries can. Not only does this design eliminate 30 to 40 percent of the battery’s weight, it also allows us to double or even triple the energy it can store, far exceeding the capabilities of lithium-ion batteries that are considered to be state of the art.”

Bezos’ WaPo Bleeding Money, Loses 0 Million in 2023

Jeff Bezos’ Washington Post, a flagship of DNC-CCP agit prop aimed at destroying the American republic, is losing money hand over fist since the ungrateful leftist billionaire took over.  This year, the Molotov-cocktail-styled publication has lost over $100 million, causing Bezos to take more of a direct role in running the DNC-CCP organ of hate.

He made billions thanks to American liberty and power and chose to use those billions to attack the American people themselves with his Orwellian-themed paper that claims “Democracy dies in Darkness,” revealing the seditious nature of the hate rag by insisting America is a Democracy, one of the worst forms of government in the world, and not a republic, one of the best forms of government in the world.

Bezos is clearly not happy with actually losing money to promote hate and fear, having recently pushed out chief executive Fred Ryan, An insider told Fox News of the news of Ryan’s departure, “Hard to say whether he was pushed or jumped… We’re still hiring, still expanding. But Fred is 68. So… if I had to guess—and it’s strictly that—I’d say Bezos is getting impatient and wanted to get fresh blood. Pretty clear Bezos is worried.”

Apparently, the subscriber loss for the anti-American publication is substantial, so much that whatever benefits he is getting from selling America out is not enough to offset the millions in losses.

DNC Looks to Ban 3D-Printed Gun Blueprints

Senator Kristen Gillibrand (D-NY) shows she is not an American citizen in spirit when she introduced an abominable bill that would attempt to make it illegal for Americans to publish blueprints for making 3D-Printed Guns, a technological wonder that has fascists and communists alike in fear of a stewarded self-defense people not dependent on cops to rescue them from all threats foreign and domestic.

Gillibrand made this anti-American statement when trying to excuse the fact she is proposing a bill that is a blatant violation of both the 1st and 2nd Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, a document she is sworn under oath to defend, not tear down, as she clearly wants to do (her and her corrupt foreign-captured party): “Let me be clear: We aren’t just talking about water pistols here,” said Gillibrand. “We’re talking about real, fully operational semi-automatic firearms like AR-15 rifles and Beretta M9 handguns. Because many of the 3D printed guns are made of plastic, they can bypass metal detectors commonly used at…secure public areas. People are going into these public spaces and using these ghost guns to commit crimes, and law enforcement is finding it more and more difficult to stop them. Our women and men in uniform are now having to deal with illicit guns coming into our city from both the iron pipeline and from private homes.”

When the party of “Defund the Police” feigns concern for cops to justify their unconstitutional actions you are bearing witness to their favorite tactic of advancing totalitarianism in the land of the free; create a boogeyman that is allegedly hurting some group and convince the world the only way to stop the fake monster is to strip Americans of their God-given right to the life and the pursuit of their own defined happiness.

They care as much for the safety of police as they care about any other group, be it homosexuals or “people of cover.” They’re just useful “victims” whose fates are not the least concerning for the party of hate and fear attempting to destroy the American republic from within with aid from foreigners from without.

DOJ Sues Texas For Protecting Its Borders

With the Biden administration doing everything it can to keep America’s borders wide open in what looks increasingly like a rogue regime aiding and abetting America’s foreign enemies, Texas has moved to protect its own borders, and the DOJ doesn’t like it. They’re threatening to sue the state for placing barriers along the Rio Grande River. The Governor has announced that DOJ has no jurisdiction to prevent Texas from protecting their border when the Federal government not only is NOT doing their job, but they appear to be actively subverting any efforts to protect Americans from this “immigrant” invasion.

The DOJ said in a letter, “The State of Texas’s actions violate federal law, raise humanitarian concerns, present serious risks to public safety and the environment, and may interfere with the federal government’s ability to carry out its official duties.”

You can think of this move along the lines of passing laws that make it illegal for people to defend themselves against attacks, such as we have with anti-gun laws in America today, and around the world, such as in Britain, having laws that make it illegal for you to use physical violence to stop a person from invading your home.

The move by the DOJ makes it all the more naked the nature of the Democratic Party, of which the DOJ has now become nothing more than a weapon of lawfare aimed at the heart of the American republic itself. Abbot responded to the threat by the DOJ to sue them if they fail to comply within a week, “Texas has the sovereign authority to defend our border, under the U.S. Constitution and the Texas Constitution. We have sent the Biden Administration numerous letters detailing our authority, including the one I hand-delivered to President [Joe] Biden earlier this year.”
