Is Hunter Biden's plea deal in danger? John Ratcliffe thinks it might be

If former DNI John Ratcliffe is right, who appeared on Trey Gowdy's Sunday Night in America program, the judge in this case might reject the deal. Ratcliffe said "the judge in this case shouldn't accept the plea because, as you know, judges are required to look at all of the defendant's conduct. In this case, you start with some of that conduct being on videotape and showing felony possession of a firearm while using a controlled substance. That's a felony that carries a maximum penalty of 10 years and depending on who you talk to, the judge is probably going to be aware that either never in the history of the Department of Justice or rarely in the history of the Department of Justice has that resulted in a misdemeanor with pretrial diversion."

Ratcliffe continued, saying "But even if you get past all that, Trey, the judge is going to be aware of all that, uh, is going to be aware of whistleblower testimony that the very prosecutors in this case, according to the whistleblowers, did more than exercise more than prosecutorial discretion. They obstructed parts of this investigation, including shutting down an investigation into a WhatsApp text message text message that shows that the vice president's son and possibly the vice president, threatened a Chinese businessman with ties to the Chinese Communist Party and received a $5,000,000 payment 2 days later. So based on all that, I'd be surprised if, on all that, I'd be disappointed if a judge would accept a plea in this case."

It's important to remember that Ratcliffe isn't just the former DNI but a former federal prosecutor, too. Ratcliffe isn't some wet-behind-the-ears prosecutor, either. He had a pretty sterling record, too. Check out the entire interview here:

It's time for Hunter's life to experience some turbulence. The median sentence length for a felony gun charge is 3.69 years. Hunter's gift of a plea deal contains no jail time. Merrick Garland said that Hunter wasn't treated any different than anyone else. That's a bald-faced lie. The only reason it isn't perjury is because he said it at a press conference microphone, not in a hearing room while under oath.

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
