Hunter Biden's friends in the IRS

Apparently, you've got lots of friends if you're the son of a famous fossilized politician, especially if that famous fossilized politician should've retired 2+ decades ago. Gary Shapley testified in front of the House Ways and Means Committee in the form of a deposition. Shapley is an "IRS Criminal Supervisory Special Agent." In his testimony, Shapley said that the plea deal reached with Hunter Biden was lenient.

Specifically, Shapley said "The recommended felony tax evasion charges, that's 7201, is tax evasion, and 7206(1) is a false tax return, also a felony, for the tax years 2014, 2018, and 2019. And for Title 26 7203, which is a failure to file or pay, that is a misdemeanor charge for '15, '16, '17, '18, and '19."

That means Hunter didn't pay taxes for 5 straight years! How does the average taxpayer earn millions of dollars over 5 years get a lenient penalty and no jail time? Anyone who isn't the president's son would be seeing striped sunlight for a decade or more. This is what Jason Smith, the chair of the House Ways and Means Committee, said:

The testimony we have just released details a lack of U.S. attorney independence, recurring unjustified delays, unusual actions outside the normal course of any investigation.
That leads to the belief that Merrick Garland is putting his elbow on the scales of justice. Publicly, Garland insists that the U.S. attorney working the case has all the latitude to prosecute whoever he wants. In reality, the whistleblowers' testimony proves different. Marjorie Taylor-Greene insists that she won't stop pushing the investigation. I believe her:

She's right in highlighting all of the banking records and Suspicious Activity Reports. Coupling those documents with in-person testimony creates significant difficulty for the Biden Crime Syndicate. The window is closing for Joe Biden, too. The story about him sitting next to Hunter, who was shaking down a Chinese businessman isn't a flattering picture. Joe doesn't exactly move quickly anymore (of he ever did) so sidestepping this isn't easy to picture.

Is Joe Biden our Grifter-in-Chief?

Apparently, Joe Biden doesn't care about the law or Supreme Court rulings. When asked about the ruling on his student loan bailout, Biden said that the Supreme Court misinterpreted the Constitution. He knows they didn't. That's just what he said to preserve the opportunity to introduce his next unconstitutional plan that will get rejected by the Supreme Court. This isn't about whether it's constitutional. It's about whether he can con enough young people into voting for him in 2024. Biden must've anticipated this ruling. Within an hour of the ruling, the Administration was out with this detailed fact sheet to replace the plan that he knew would fail. It opens with the same partisan attack as Democrats have mouthed. The fact sheet opens by saying "No President has fought harder for student debt relief than President Biden, and he’s not done yet. President Biden and Vice President Harris will not let Republican elected officials succeed in denying hard

Tim Walz's Confederate Flag Fiasco

Image
After Minnesota's Democrats shoved the most controversial progressive legislation down Minnesotans' throats, gossip started popping up about Gov. Walz being interested in running for president . That's died off but Gov. Walz is still making headlines, this time for all the wrong reasons. First, Gov. Walz isn't the brightest bulb in the chandelier. Still, Gov. Walz is fighting against Minnesota's history. This Alpha News article quotes David Hann, the chairman of Minnesota's Republican Party, as saying " The flag the DFL has eliminated was a version of the historic flag our regiments fought under during the Civil War. Minnesota was the first state to offer troops to the Union cause in 1861 , beginning a long tradition of leading the nation in confronting injustice. The DFL quest to erase our history is repugnant and should be rejected." Gov. Walz, though, sees things differently. He's quoted as saying "Minnesota is a diverse state, it continue

Maria Bartiromo's interrogation of Gov. Ron DeSantis

Image
Yesterday, Maria Bartiromo interrogated Gov. Ron DeSantis on Sunday Morning Futures. The first half of the interview, Bartiromo asked policy questions. Gov. DeSantis showed his understanding of the issues and presented his solutions on everything from China, inflation and growing the economy. The first reply he had was to cut spending. His next reply was to open energy production. Third, he talked about the importance of increasing productivity, which he correctly said is the best way to eliminate inflation. A little over half the way through the interview, though, it turned into an attack. Bartiromo asked "I'm wondering what's going on with your campaign. There was a lot of optimism about you running for president earlier in the year but here's this weekend's headline from the Politico Playbook: Failure to launch. Gov. Ron DeSantis's campaign to topple Donald Trump has stalled. We are way behind says a top DeSantis PAC official. What happened? Despite that bad
