Hunter Biden is hoping to keep his financial situation under wraps as he responds to legal claims that he’s cheated an ex-stripper out of support and health care costs for their baby, a report said. Biden filed a request to seal all financial records in the paternity case in Arkansas this week, the Daily Mail reported. Biden’s lawyers argue that media organizations have been covering the case, and that the likelihood his personal financial records could “be used in an inappropriate or malicious manner for reasons that have absolutely nothing to do with these proceedings is exceedingly high and should...

Far-left climate extremist Greta Thunberg had a meltdown while speaking at the United Nations on Monday about climate change, claiming that the state of the world is on the verge of collapse. The Washington Examiner noted that Thunberg "has stage-parents, literally. Her mother sang opera internationally until the teenager convinced her to quit due to greenhouse gas emissions from flying, and her father and grandfather both gained fame through acting and directing." Thunberg repeatedly condemned adults by dramatically saying, "how dare you!" as she warned of a future that she suggested may not even exist due to climate change. "My...

Detective Mike Fisten retired from New York City's homicide division, figuring a South Florida retirement gig would be a tropical breeze but his first case involved an Epstein victim, the first of very many to follow: Both during his fake Florida jailing and during his probation, Epstein hired PI's to actively intimidate the girls he had been abusing. If the victim pulled up to a gas station, the hired guns would pull up right behind her, making no effort to conceal what they were doing. If she went to the grocery store, they would pull in next to them, hoping...

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — As state Attorney General Dana Nessel announced Monday that her office had charged a sixth Michigan priest with sexual assault, she questioned why some already have been released from custody. "I will say that we're seeing a pattern of personal bonds being granted in very serious cases where it has not been my experience that I've seen personal bonds on those kinds of cases," Nessel told Target 8. "I hope that people aren't getting special consideration just because they happened to have been or currently are members of the clergy," she added. On Monday, police...

Joe Biden on Thursday, reversed longstanding opposition to public funding of abortion. The former Vice President, said that his Gala flip-flop, came as GOP-controlled states began phasing out government funded providers, (potentially rendering some species filter services underfunded) — a movement that could strand sub standard human female access to government funded, local *klinics. “I can’t justify leaving millions of women without access to the care they need and the ability to exercise their constitutionally protected right,” Biden, would not support taxpayer funding for abortion if it became more readily available for women in need, particularly women who live in...
