He Who Must Not Be Named: The Hunter Biden Indictment is Itself a Model of Evasion

Below is my column in the New York Post on the second indictment of Hunter Biden. The tax evasion charges were brought in a type of Voldemort indictment, skillfully detailing millions acquired from influence peddling without mentioning “he who must not be named.” Indeed, it says nothing of how or why millions were sent to Hunter.

Here is the column:

The 56-page indictment of Hunter Biden for tax evasion makes for racy reading, with the special counsel describing a four-year criminal pattern directed at maintaining Biden’s “extravagant lifestyle.”

That lifestyle included massive expenses for strippers, sex clubs, fast cars and other distractions.

The steps taken by Hunter to evade taxes are impressive, but not nearly as impressive as the efforts of the Justice Department to evade any direct implications for his father, President Biden.

In that sense, the indictment itself is a marvel of evasion.

OMG, this is for our pilots!

Mechanical failures led to emergency landing in McKinney in which plane crashed into car, NTSB says

The NTSB found that mechanical failures caused a plane to go off the runway and crash into a car in McKinney last month.

It happened on November 11 and the pilot was coming from Abilene. The only injury reported was the person in the car that was struck.

Investigators said the first problem was a door seal that failed on the single-engine Lancair IV-P.

The plane lost pressurization, so the pilot made an emergency descent, then noticed a caution light about the propeller.

The pilot reduced power and tried an emergency landing at Aero Country Airport in McKinney, but the knob on the power lever came off.

He tried maximum braking, but without the working power lever, the plane kept going, through a fence and onto Virginia Parkway, where it hit a car that was driving by.

Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson’s new media company has begun building its base of paying subscribers as it moves toward launch, its chief executive told Reuters.

“We’ve opened our site for membership pre-sales,” said Neil Patel, co-founder and chief executive of the new venture. “Once we are comfortable that all of the systems are running well, launch and brand release will follow.”

Patel said those paying subscribers will have access to members-only content and behind-the-scenes footage. He declined to comment on the pricing.

“6 teens involved in beheading of French teacher convicted, sentenced”

Dec. 8 (UPI) — Six middle school students tried for their involvement in the 2020 beheading of French history teacher Samuel Paty were found guilty by a Paris juvenile court on Friday, with most receiving suspended sentences.

Five of the students drew suspended 14-month sentences on conspiracy charges, while the sixth was sentenced to two years imprisonment with all but six months suspended, the New York Times and the French daily Le Figaro reported.

The sixth student, accused of describing Paty to his attacker, will serve his six-month sentence under house arrest and must wear an electronic bracelet.

The court said the sentences took into account “the seriousness of the facts” in the case of Paty, a 47-year-old history and geography teacher who was stabbed and then beheaded in October 2020 near his school in Conflans-Sainte-Honorine, northwest of Paris.

Police said Abdoullakh Anzorov, an 18-year-old Russian refugee of Chechen origin, killed the teacher after Paty had angered some of his Islamic students by displaying controversial caricatures depicting the Prophet Muhammad during a discussion of the 2015 attack on the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo.

Anzorov was shot and killed by French police shortly after the incident, while the teenage students were charged with aiding the killer.

Juvenile officials also said they considered the “personality” and “development” of the six teens, aged between 13 and 15, in passing down the sentence. They are among of a total of 14 people charged in connection with the case — another trial is planned for eight adults at the end of 2024.

The lack of jail time for any of the students in a terrorism case that shocked the country angered advocates for the victim, French media reported. One lawyer for Paty’s family left the court on the verge of tears.

“It’s a difficult decision for the family; there is disappointment, anger, incomprehension,” attorney Virginie Le Roy told reporters. “The sentences do not live up to the facts, the drama. This is a bad signal for the family, for the students and for the teachers.

The only suspended sentences they should have received, involve a noose.
