A recent investigation reveals that PAX Global Technology, a Chinese company under federal investigation for suspicious data transmissions, has ownership links to Che Feng, a Chinese financier closely connected to Hunter Biden. Earlier this month, Hunter Biden dropped his lawsuit against two IRS whistleblowers who alleged there had been a cover-up in former President Biden’s DOJ to block a tax fraud investigation into the former President’s son. However, the financial sector controversies Hunter has incited, particularly with his business dealings in China, remain an ongoing topic of interest and allegedly extend far deeper than tax fraud. For example, Breitbart News...

US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent spoke with reporters on Monday following trade talks this past weekend with Chinese officials in Geneva, Switzerland. As The Gateway Pundit reported on Sunday, Bessent announced that they struck a deal during their eight-hour meetings. China and the United States have agreed to reduce tariffs by May 14, with China retaining a 10% tariff on American goods while the US retains a 10% reciprocal tariff on Chinese goods. Additionally, China has agreed to help the US “take aggressive actions to stem the flow of fentanyl and other precursors from China to illicit drug producers in...

In a saga that reads more like a political thriller than a real estate dispute, Texas businessman Timothy Barton is at the center of a high-stakes legal storm that some allege is less about justice and more about silencing dissent. Timothy Barton—a Christian businessman, proud Trump supporter, and founder of the successful JMJ Development—has, in yet another glaring example of Biden-era political persecution, become the latest target of lawfare by a weaponized federal government more interested in shielding the Chinese Communist Party than protecting American citizens. Barton’s “crime”? Sounding the alarm on what he believed to be a covert Chinese...

With former President Joe Biden emerging from a the darkness after the Democratic defeat in November, Americans might have to get used to seeing the octogenarian meandering out in public for a while yet to come.

He sat for a meeting Thursday with the shrews from “The View,” in an appearance that even the Hollywood trade mag Variety called...

Former President Joe Biden and former first lady Jill Biden are weighing a $30 million tell-all book deal that would likely include details from the diary Jill kept during her time at the White House, The Daily Mail reported. “She could write a very explosive book if she wanted to,” a former White House aide told the outlet.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump’s administration is conducting a nationwide, multi-agency review of 450,000 migrant children who crossed the U.S.-Mexico border without their parents during President Joe Biden’s term. Trump officials say they want to track down those children and ensure their safety. Many of the children came to the U.S. during surges at the border in recent years and were later placed in homes with adult sponsors, typically parents, relatives or family friends.Migrant advocates are dubious of the Republican administration’s tactics, which include dispatching Homeland Security and FBI agents to visit the children. Trump’s zero-tolerance approach to immigrants...

Russian forces managed to capture around 68 square miles of Ukraine in April. But it cost them 4,800 vehicles and more than 36,600 dead and wounded troops, according to one statistician who collects data mostly from official Ukrainian sources including the general staff in Kyiv. In the same month, Ukrainian losses were “minimal,” concluded analyst Konrad Muzyka of Rochan Consulting in Poland. Ukraine sprawls across 233,000 square miles, 19% of which is under Russian occupation. At the current rates of advance and loss, the Russians would capture the rest of Ukraine in the year 2256 at the cost of 101...

HOLY SHIT! RFK Jr. just said point blank that (1) the Dept. of HHS under the Biden Regime collaborated in child trafficking, both for sex and for slavery, and (2) there are 300,000 missing children that they are desperately trying to find. ARFK Jr. says HHS was a “collaborator in child trafficking”, and that he has ended this and now they are aggressively trying to find these “300,000 children that were lost by the Biden administration”. You thought Russiagate and Covid were bad? absolutely stunning and truly crimes against humanity!

President Donald Trump signed a powerful memorandum last week ordering a full federal crackdown on illegal campaign donation practices — specifically targeting the embattled Democrat fundraising platform ActBlue and calling for “crooked” Adam Schiff to be thrown behind bars. The directive comes amid mounting investigations led by Rep. Bryan Steil (R-WI) and 19 state Attorneys General — including officials from Texas, Arkansas, Florida, and Missouri — exposing explosive evidence that ActBlue was complicit in laundering illegal donations, including potentially illicit foreign money, into Democrat campaigns across the country. The memorandum, as highlighted by The Gateway Pundit, states: “Federal law (52...

As Russia continues its warfare against Ukraine, one outspoken Republican senator is encouraging President Donald Trump to put Russian President Vladimir Putin in his place. "Putin has reneged on every promise that he has made to President Trump. His latest proposal is, well, nothing. He wants to keep all the territory that he's taken," Sen. John Kennedy, R-La., said on the latest installment of "Fox News Sunday." "He wants to prohibit Ukraine from joining NATO, and he wants America and Europe to stop helping Ukraine," he added. "I think that Putin thinks that America has taken the bullet train to...

Hunter Biden — former First Son and Biden family bagman — pulled in nearly $5 million from Ukraine energy giant Burisma, just-released court documents reveal, and it is safe to assume that the Big Guy got his 10 percent. "Swiftboating America" author Hans Mahncke posted Tuesday that following Biden's pardon in December of last year by President Joe Biden, the judge in United States v. Biden "received a request to release the search warrants and affidavits, which have now been made public." "The documents reveal a trail of money flowing in (even though the media claimed that never happened)." Five...

More often than not, Jill Biden gets it right with her fashion choices (remember that stunning 2024 DNC outfit?) But, much like Ivanka Trump's outfits that missed the mark, the former first lady proved having designers falling over themselves to dress you — and a no doubt impressive fashion budget — still doesn't guarantee a great outfit.Being one of the most visible people in the world during her time in the White House meant Jill had to think hard about her outfits, which she admitted came as a surprise. "It's kind of surprising, I think, how much commentary is made...

Democratic figures and even the former first family’s aides are saying that former President Biden needs to stay out of politics, according to a new report from “The Hill.” The outlet’s senior political correspondent, Amie Parnes, spoke to former first lady Jill Biden’s communications director Michael LaRosa, who stated that Biden’s staff needs to steer him away from the spotlight because the party is not interested in seeing him. “If they had advisers who had their hand on the pulse of the Democratic Party or national politics, they would have understood the intense level of anger or indifference to them...

Joe Biden’s private email scandal is likely much worse than Hillary Clinton’s email scandal. And just like Hillary, Biden was never indicted for his use of burner phones and private emails while he was US Vice President. Special Counsel Robert Hur ignored Joe Biden’s use of private emails. The National Archives previously confirmed through a FOIA response that they found 5,138 email messages and 25 electronic files pertaining to the known Joe Biden pseudonym accounts robinware456@gmail.com, JRBWare@gmail.com and Robert.L.Peters@pci.gov. According to newly unredacted documents, in 2014, while Joe Biden was publicly calling for sanctions against Russia, he was privately negotiating...

Legislation Reversing $600 Threshold for Reporting Payments to IRS Filed by U.S. Sen. Bill Hagerty April 11, 2025 Tom Pappert Bill Hagerty U.S. Senator Bill Hagerty (R-TN) filed legislation on Thursday to reverse the decision to require third-party payment processors to report transfers more than $600 to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).
