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.

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

What is Kamala Harris afraid of?

Image
Apparently, Kamala Harris suddenly loves debating. Let me rephrase that. Harris loves debating as long as the moderators are partisan hacks. She wants nothing to do with a debate moderated by Fox's Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum. She's afraid of Bret and Martha because a) they'll either fact-check both her and Trump or they won't fact-check either of them and b) Bret and Martha aren't afraid of asking follow-up questions. To a candidate whose answers are scripted and who isn't quick on her feet, the last thing you want is a follow-up question. Kamala fears follow-up questions like vampires hate wooden stakes, sunlight and holy water. Why has Kamala Harris avoided Fox News like the plague? The moderators/propagandists fact-checked Donald Trump aggressively but didn't fact-check Harris . Why didn't David Muir and Linsey Davis fact-check both candidates equally? Is it because Harris doesn't like fair fights? Perhaps she's just afraid of getting exp

Why is Joe Biden letting Hamas off the hook?

Image
It isn't disputable whether Joe Biden's administration is letting Hamas off the hook. That issue was settled months ago, when a spineless Joe Biden caved to activists interested in saving Hamas and thwarting the Israelis' attempt to defend themselves. Gerard Baker's op-ed highlights what's at stake for the U.S. if the terrorists are permitted to survive. In his op-ed, Baker wrote "If, under the pressure of internal Democratic politics and global public opinion, the Biden administration forces a 'cease-fire' that leaves our closest ally in the region short of victory over an enemy that seeks to destroy it, sooner or later we shall all pay the price." It's time to revisit George W. Bush's speech to a joint session of Congress on Sept. 20, 2001. It's required that we remind ourselves of one of its most important paragraphs. In talking about who committed the atrocities of 9/11, President Bush identified al-Qa'ida as "a collectio
