Although unraveling the scandal will start with the tax case against Hunter Biden, it won’t end there. The House Ways and Means Committee granted two attorneys representing the Internal Revenue Service whistleblower authority to inspect Hunter Biden’s tax returns and related information. This development promises to accelerate the unraveling of the Justice Department’s Biden family protection racket. Understanding why requires a fuller understanding of IRS privacy law, so here’s your “lawsplainer.” A Look at the Law Section 6103 of the Internal Revenue Code provides that federal tax returns and “return information” “shall be confidential” and makes it illegal for an...

In Virginia, state Sen. Monty Mason (D-Williamsburg) and state Del. Shelly Simonds (D-Newport) mocked Republicans over a bill (SB 1515) that would require porn websites to verify a user's age before allowing access to lewd content. "Speaking from my own personal experience, I'd say that porn is a vital educational resource for boys entering puberty," Mason asserted. "Keeping these explicit images available is the antidote to the ignorance that prudery has foisted on the young for generations. In an ideal world, porn would be part of every middle school curriculum. Short of this, keeping the access open for children to...

While team Biden lying about ‘Russian disinfo’ is dirty politics, government’s assistance in burying the scandal is election interference. ***************************************************************** Biden and his backers lied to Americans that the Hunter Biden laptop was “Russian disinformation.” While that might merely qualify as dirty politics, our government’s assistance in burying the scandal constituted election interference. Though we don’t yet know the extent of government involvement in the info ops, the evidence already indicates eight potential actions taken to protect Biden from what former President Donald Trump and others have since called the “laptop from hell” and hand him the White House. 1....

A consortium of major media companies is suing the Justice Department and the FBI for ignoring Freedom of Information Act requests to obtain the still-secret recordings of January 6. Matthew Graves just received a court summons. As the U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, Graves is rarely on the receiving end of a legal inquiry. In fact, Graves’ hand must be tired from signing thousands of criminal indictments, sentencing memos, and plea offers related to his ongoing investigation into the events of January 6, 2021. Just this week, the FBI arrested two more individuals on minor offenses, giving Graves’...

JOE AND MIKA: THE BIDEN CRIME FAMILY’S USEFUL IDIOTS Hours before he signed up for his Burisma board of directors cash grab, joining his father in one of many Obama White House criminal conspiracies, Hunter Biden was chatting amiably with pseudo-intellectuals Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski on the set of their MSNBC show “Morning Joe.” How fitting. Seems MSNBC’s first couple of Democratic propaganda were the perfect useful idiots for the Biden Crime Family’s Burisma grift which began on April 18th, 2014. Here’s a screenshot of a telling email which I obtained from Marco Polo’s BidenLaptopEmails.com website. The 11:00 a.m....

First, it was Bud Light. Then it was Nike’s sports bras. Now it’s Olay. Dylan Mulvaney is making his rounds and mocking actual women on a daily basis. How did this guy pretending to be a woman become such a commercialized sensation overnight? Oli London, a leader in the detransitioning movement, has done the research and posted his thoughts on Twitter: Why is Dylan Mulvaney now the face of so many major corporations all of a sudden? Let me explain: * Fortune 500 Companies have the CEI Index- Corporate Equality Index- which pushes companies to go woke and push trans...

The “novel” coronavirus pandemic marks the greatest turning point in U.S. monetary history since the creation of the Federal Reserve in 1913. In large measure, the “novel” coronavirus pandemic narrative serves as a convenient cover story that distracts from and even masks the Federal Reserve’s unprecedented maneuvers in 2020—maneuvers that happen to have been planned and discussed in August 2019 some four months prior to the first mention of any “novel” virus in Wuhan, China. What marks the Fed’s maneuvers in March 2020 as unprecedented really is not its sudden creation of $3.5 trillion in reserves; that amount, $3.5 trillion...

New testimony from Bob Hughes confirms ballot tampering in Maricopa County’s 2022 election. Hughes states in his affidavit that “an intentional change was made to the printers affecting the DAY OF Election ballots” in the 2022 Maricopa County midterm election. Hughes’ affidavit in Exhibit K of a newly filed Motion to Reconsider in Mark Finchem’s dismissed 2022 election lawsuit confirms previous testimony from Clay Parikh. Parikh was one of several expert witnesses in the Kari Lake lawsuit. Parikh testified there are “only two ways the printing of a 19-inch image on a 20-inch paper happened, and they are both intentional....

Another piece of Trojan Horse legislation is moving through Congress. The so-called “RESTRICT Act,” introduced by Sens. Mark Warner (D-Va.) and Tom Thune (R-S.D.), is supposedly aimed at blocking or disrupting transactions and financial holdings linked to foreign adversaries that the powers that be claim are a threat to national security. In truth, though, the RESTRICT Act appears to have been intentionally designed to target the free speech rights of everyday Americans. Warner, who is described as “a longtime opponent of free speech,” crafted the RESTRICT Act in such a way as to weaponize Big Tech, according to Instagram co-founder...

Andrew Tate’s fans absolutely love herWhen Andrew Tate was banged up inside a Romanian jail, another problematic anti-feminist influencer took his place on the internet. And, shockingly, his successor is a woman. Pearl Davis’ YouTube channel grew from 800,000 to 1.3 million in the first three months Andrew Tate was in jail. Clips from her channel regularly go viral on TikTok, where (like Tate) her account has been banned several times. So, in case you’ve seen her on your For You Page and are wondering what in the women-hating content is going on, here’s everything you need to know:...

LGBTQ groups from both sides of the aisle are urging police not to release the Nashville school shooter’s manifesto Advocates of transgenderism are pushing back on calls to release the manifesto belonging to the biological woman who shot and killed six at a Christian school in Nashville, Tennessee, even as many on the right demand the release due to concerns the shooter’s actions were motivated by hatred for Christians. Multiple LGBTQ groups are speaking out against calls to release the manifesto belonging to Audrey Hale, the trans-identified person who police say wreaked havoc at The Covenant School until being swiftly...

In its short 6 year lifespan Beijing based company Bytedance's Tik Tok has surpassed google.com with well over 2 billion downloads worldwide. From the outset, the Chinese Algorithm Source code had been collecting the habits and inner intent of every single user.

Most of them children.Meanwhile, privacy policy moderators and employees answering directly to the Chinese Communist Party have access to private chats and all collected personal information. Four Employees at Bytedance were fired in 2022 for doxing...

This is what it must have been like when women were marched to the stake. Yesterday in Auckland the British women’s rights campaigner Posie Parker found herself surrounded by a deranged, heaving mob. She had tomato soup and placards thrown in her face. She was doused with water. Huge men screamed insults and expletives in her face. The shoving of the crowd became so intense that Parker feared for her life. ‘I genuinely thought that if I fell to the floor I would never get up again’, she said. ‘My children would lose their mother and my husband would lose...

I have had a google voice number for years. If you use the dreaded GMail then you can get one. While logged onto Gmail. https://voice.google.com/ Just do a search for Google voice. Then select a phone number with your area code. Easier done on your computer. When you have done all this, you can also install Google voice on your phone. For the past two years my phone has two phone numbers. Only problem was that I got lots of spam phone calls on the Google Voice number./// For the last week I just got one. I can only conclude...

There are two things that the mainstream media is salivating over these days. The first is Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg and his (now collapsing) case against Donald Trump in the whole Stormy Daniels affair. The second is the Dominion Voting defamation case against Fox News.I have been pretty harsh on Fox News in the whole affair because I truly believe they are more guilty of focusing on audience than truth. And the revelations we’ve seen from the Dominion case back that up. They were incredibly worried about their audience leaving and heading to Newsmax or One American News, which led...

LGBTQ predator Jeffrey Marsh has defenders who know no bounds. First, they went after UK Muslim Shumirun Nessa with threats toward her and her kids after she called Marsh out on TikTok. She backed off, but they're still going after her, and probably won't stop until she's unalived herself. Now comes word a pair of Canadians have decided to file a class action lawsuit against people who have told the truth about Marsh (also on TikTok), saying their sentiments are untrue and hate speech. Now, Marsh lives in California (natch!). But these two people seem to think they can file...

The infrastructure just isn't there yet. Key points: * Electric vehicles can be expensive to buy and own. * My reason for not wanting to own an EV just yet has more to do with convenience than price. * Charging stations for EVs are not yet widespread, meaning they might not be a good option for you if you take long road trips to remote areas. These days, it's not so uncommon to see your fair share of electric vehicles on the road. And if your car has seen better days, you may be thinking of buying an electric vehicle,...
