Hunter Biden was found guilty of three felony counts of illegally applying for a gun. The jurors in Wilmington, Delaware deliberated for just three hours to find that he lied about being a drug addict when filling out an application to obtain a firearm. Although President Biden said before the verdict that he would not pardon his son, the White House released a statement on Wednesday saying that Biden is not ruling out a presidential commutation.
Don’t be fooled by the pretense that we are finally seeing the law applied equally. The real story is the Biden family’s foreign money-making schemes, and the evidence that access to Vice President Joe Biden netted the Biden clan nearly $20 million:
$7.3 million - China
$4 million - Ukraine
$3.5 million - Russia
$1 million - Romania
$1 million - Panama
$142,300 - Kazakhstan
$1 million - other foreign payments
Is that a crime? Yes, if those foreigners expected something in return from the Obama-Biden administration—like when Vice President Joe told the President of Ukraine to fire a prosecutor, or else Ukraine would lose $1 billion in US-guaranteed loans. Prosecutor Viktor Shokin was investigating corruption at Burisma, the natural gas company where Hunter Biden sat on their board of directors and received a handsome monthly stipend.
The House Oversight Committee has referred Hunter and James Biden to the Justice Department for criminal prosecution over lying to Congress about these schemes. They have the records of more than 20 shell companies that laundered the money before it was paid out to nine different Biden family members. They also have messages and threats from the Bidens to foreign actors.
Garland in Contempt
Attorney General Merrick Garland was just found guilty of Contempt of Congress. He refused to turn over interview tapes between President Biden and Special Counsel Robert Hur. Biden was being investigated for mishandling classified documents, and Hur recorded their sessions. Hur determined that Biden is a “sympathetic, well-meaning elderly man with a poor memory,” and did not file criminal charges.
The GOP-controlled House wants to listen to the recordings for themselves—but Garland refused to comply.
The contempt vote earlier today was 208-207, with ten GOP lawmakers not voting.
The administration is fighting back with a 57-page internal memo from the legal adviser for the DOJ. It states that no administration official has been prosecuted for failing to comply with a subpoena when the president has claimed executive privilege.
Is Attorney General Garland above the law?
The DOJ says he is protected from prosecution for contempt of Congress and this charge is simply a “recommendation” to the DOJ, which must then weigh whether to bring charges against its own chief.
Steve Bannon and Peter Navarro both ignored a congressional subpoena, with serious results. Navarro is serving a four-month prison sentence, and Bannon is supposed to report to serve his prison sentence July 1. Bannon has filed an emergency motion to the DC federal court and plans to appeal all the way to the US Supreme Court if necessary.
Why this Matters: Biden's DOJ is prosecuting Joe Biden's political opponents, MAGA protestors, whistleblowers, and pro-life Christians, while allowing foreign terrorists to walk across our border. He is contemptible.
Biden’s Decline Avalanche
The transcript of Robert Hur’s interview has already been released. The only reason for refusing to release the tapes is that the Justice Department altered something that they don’t want anyone to see.
Is it Biden’s dementia?
Did Biden’s actions threaten national security?
Maybe both. The Wall Street Journal recently published a report citing 45 people from both sides of the aisle who are seriously concerned about Biden’s mental health.
During a critical discussion about Ukraine funding, Biden's weak demeanor, frequent pauses, and reliance on reading from notes caused concern. "You couldn’t be there and not feel uncomfortable, I'll just say that," said one attendee.
Several White House aides feebly fought back by sharing a long segment from MSNBC host Joe Scarborough. He adamantly declared Biden more mentally fit than Donald Trump.
"I’ve spent time with both of those guys privately. Spent time with Biden and Trump privately. I’ve spent time with every House Speaker over the past 30 years. And Joe Biden, I’m not just — it’s just not close. If you want to talk about international affairs, if you want to talk about how to get bipartisan legislation, Joe Biden is light-years ahead of all of them," Scarborough said.
Blind to Their Own Hypocrisy
After the guilty verdict for Hunter, Joe Biden gave a speech on gun safety. He seems to have forgotten that Hunter’s gun ownership came into question after Hallie Biden threw Hunter’s gun into a trash can outside a retailer located near a school. The Secret Service dug it out.
During his speech, President Biden went off script and bragged about being a professor at UPenn (nope) and teaching a course on the Second Amendment (nope). He falsely claimed Americans couldn’t own cannons during the Civil War, and warned conservatives not to come after the federal government.
“If they wanna think to take on government if we get out of line … guess what? They need F-15s! They don’t need a rifle!” Biden stated.
Why this Matters: Biden also attacked “assault rifles” and pretended that somehow the 2nd Amendment doesn’t apply to automatic firearms. The Amendment does not stipulate what kind of gun or who may own a gun. There are about 30 million Americans who take controlled substances in the form of prescription medication, which could be the next big gun-grab target.
Hunter’s Tax Trail
The legal trouble isn’t over for Hunter Biden. A year ago, he arranged to plead guilty to two counts of failing to pay his taxes in return for prosecutors recommending a sentence of probation. He did not pay federal income taxes for either 2014 (statute of limitations ran out), 2017 or 2018, despite owing more than $100,000 in taxes each year. He should have also been charged with failing to register as a foreign agent under the FARA Act.
Hunter’s sentencing on the gun charges will come later, and he also faces a trial related to tax fraud. There is also a pending tax case against Hunter in California, and investigators may be exploring charges related to his FARA violations.
Why this Matters: This information on the Biden family has been public for more than two years, with evidence on Hunter’s laptop and in messaging turned over to the House GOP from IRS whistleblowers. The DOJ, which is serving as a wing of the Democrat party, will not do anything to put Biden’s re-election campaign in jeopardy.
President Biden will likely commute Hunter’s sentence(s) after the election, with a possible provision pardoning Hunter for everything else he has ever done. Trump and the GOP must win in November to bring the Bidens to justice on this earth.
Nancy’s Admission of Guilt
A video tape surfaced of former Speaker Nancy Pelosi admitting she is responsible for the lack of security on January 6, 2021. She is speaking from inside a vehicle and wearing a mask on that day as her daughter Alexandra records her.
Nancy: “We have responsibility, Terry [her chief-of-staff]. We did not have any accountability for what was going on there, and we should have. This is ridiculous. You’re going to ask me in the middle of the thing when they’ve already breached the inaugural stuff that should we call the Capitol police—I mean the National Guard? Why weren’t the National Guard there to begin with?”
Chief of staff Terri McCullough: “They thought they had sufficient resources.”
Nancy: “No, that is not a question of how they had… they don’t know. They clearly didn’t know, and I take responsibility for not having them just prepare for more.”
Pelosi insisted on MSNBC and other media outlets that she had no responsibility for what happened, and directed that millions of taxpayer dollars be spent on investigations to find the truth.
Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund, who was fired in the months following the events of J6, wrote on X:
“Pelosi should take responsibility! She put herself in the security decision process and her Sergeant at Arms denied my requests for support before and during the Jan. 6 chaos. She undermined my law enforcement capabilities. Want proof: Why did they change the law (2US1970) that tied my hands?”
Daughter Alexandra Pelosi directed the footage to create a documentary and sell it to HBO. When it was released in March 2022, much of the footage was left out. This section was recently provided to GOP congressional investigators.
Why this Matters: The Democrats want so badly to disqualify anyone who had a connection to Trump’s official questioning of the election. The two lawmakers recently appointed to the Intel Committee—Reps. Ronny Jackson (R-TX) and Scott Perry (R-PA)—are being challenged. Democrat Rep. Chrissy Houlahan (D-PA) wrote a letter to Speaker Johnson urging him to reconsider and reverse his decision. Perry’s office responded that he is a combat veteran who served more than 40 years and holds Top Secret clearance.
Good News
William “Lia” Thomas has finally lost. He won't be able to compete in the women's category at the Olympics or any other elite competition. The Court for Arbitration of Sport dismissed Thomas’ request for arbitration with World Aquatics. The governing body in swimming made its ruling in 2022, which essentially banned transgender swimmers from competing in female events. World Aquatics also created an "open" category for transgender athletes.
Thomas was ranked 462 in Men’s Swimming by the NCAA, but when competing as a female, Thomas was ranked first.
How to Pray: Things are getting worse for those who oppose God, and they’re fighting back. Pray that God will strengthen Speaker Johnson to stand firm in his appointments. Pray that Hunter Biden and William Thomas will repent and find freedom in Jesus. Pray for God to restore law and order. Encourage one another in God’s mercy and goodness towards His children. He is bringing good things to those who love Him, praise His name!
Psalm 1:1-6 - Blessed is the man that walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law does he meditate day and night. And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he does shall prosper. The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind drives away. Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. For the Lord knows the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.
