Following the Biden clan

 Hunter Biden Sues IRS For 'Embarrassing' Him, And We Can't Stop Laughing - America Insider

Hunter Biden – Hollywood Hills, $2.5 Million   "Amidst the rolling hills of the Hollywood Hills, Hunter Biden’s home is a hidden gem. The midcentury modern abode is nestled away from the hustle and bustle of the city, offering its residents a taste of old Hollywood glamor.

"Four California homes in four years – Hunter Biden is on the move again.

"The beleaguered First Son and his wife Melissa Cohen have moved into a new $15,800-per-month Malibu pad, DailyMail.com can reveal.

"And when Hunter moves his Secret Service detail has to pick up stakes as well. They have landed a home across the street at $16,000 per month – funded by none other than the US taxpayer." . . .


. . ."Hunter’s first home in Southern California was a $12,000-per-month rented house in the Hollywood Hills, where he set up his art studio for his new career in 2019. The three-bedroom, three-bathroom mid-century property had a pool and a gated drive. 

"He then moved to a $4.2million canal-side Venice Beach house in 2021. He and Melissa allegedly left the home in a state of 'disarray and disrepair' and owing approximately $80,000 in outstanding rent, a source told DailyMail.com.>" ''Hunter and Melissa were horrible tenants. Not only did they stiff the owner for months of rent, they left the house in terrible condition,' the source said.

"At the time, the imposing three-story property was owned by Sweetgreen CEO and co-founder Jonathan Neman.

"The source added, 'They were totally disrespectful of Jonathan and [his wife] Leora's property.

" 'Melissa was rude and entitled. They destroyed the stereo equipment in the home and when someone came to fix it, they were uncooperative. They also left the place dirty.'

"The former owner allegedly could only shift the property after cleaning up the Bidens' mess and was left out of pocket when Hunter shorted him more than three months' rent, the insider claimed.

"Hunter, Melissa and  Beau then moved on to Malibu later that year. "  . . .

  America Insider (msn.com)   . . ." An attorney for IRS agent Gary Shapley responded, “This suit against the IRS is just another frivolous smear by Biden family attorneys trying to turn people’s attention away from Hunter Biden’s own legal problems and intimidate any current and future whistleblower.”

“The federal judge in Delaware who oversaw the aborted plea deal shot down similar claims against the whistleblowers after they exposed the secret backroom deal between Hunter Biden and the Department of Justice,” the lawyer continued.

“Neither IRS SSA Gary Shapley nor his attorneys have ever released any confidential taxpayer information except through whistleblower disclosures authorized by statute. Once Congress released that testimony, like every American citizen, he has a right to discuss that public information.”

Bidenomics to the rescue

Biden is making it harder for America to get back to work (nypost.com)    "Economics is all about incentives. And if you incentivize people not to work, they will drop out of the labor force, and unemployment will rise.
"Friday’s employment report is a stark dramatization of how the Biden Administration — with its grandiose designs to turn the US economy into a European-style welfare state — is providing all the wrong incentives. There’s a workforce on the verge of significant growth, if only the government would get out of its way.

"Despite vast swaths of the economy reopening from the COVID shutdowns, and small businesses complaining they can’t find help, unemployment perversely rose to 6.1 percent in April. Hiring oddly slowed — only 266,000 jobs added to the economy, which is about 750,000 less than what was expected. The reasons for all these mixed signals are varied, but the primary source of the problem is extended unemployment, with hundreds of extra dollars tacked on to regular benefits. Wittingly or not, the administration is begging Americans to live on the dole instead of going back to work.

"The president, of course, doesn’t see the logic that paying people to stay home means more people will do just that. But then again, he also doesn’t see the logic that being fully vaccinated and wearing a mask outdoors as he often does makes people think twice about taking the COVID vaccine. Responding to the weak employment report, Biden said the economy is on “the right track . . . My laser focus is on growing the nation’s economy and creating jobs.” Translation: He and his cronies think they now have a decent talking point to ram through a Congress with slim Democratic majorities another $4 trillion in spending on top of the $1.9 trillion he just finished putting into the economy. " . . .

Guy currently destroying nation says Trump wants to destroy nation – HotAir    "I don’t know what they’re putting in Joe Biden’s Wheaties this week, but he seemed to have a bit more pep in his step than usual during a trip to Manhattan last night. He even managed to make it through some (obviously prepared) comments on stage without too much trouble. The event was a fundraiser for him, of course, with tickets at the theater ranging from $250 to $7,500, and plenty of Broadway stars turned out to support him. So what was Uncle Joe’s pitch to get people to support his flailing reelection bid? Since he has virtually nothing to point to in his own record, he fell back on his favorite golden oldie. He told the audience that Donald Trump is still lurking out there and he is “determined to destroy the nation.” That’s rather rich, coming from the guy who is currently in the process of doing just that. (Associated Press)" . . .


. . ."But what is that “democracy” that Joe Biden keeps promising to “fight for” and what does it look like? Does he mean the democracy where a leader’s political opponents are pursued by the so-called Justice Department and even threatened with prison time? Is it the democracy where family members of the most powerful in the preferred political class can thwart our system of justice and receive favorable treatment where others would find their doors being kicked in by armed FBI agents while their children were eating breakfast? Does he mean that democracy?"

With Hollywood on strike, Biden leans on Broadway stars in his hunt for 2024 campaign cash (wmur.com)   . . ."Others set to perform at Monday's Broadway fundraiser include Annaleigh Ashford, Alex Edelman, Josh Gad, Christopher Jackson, LaChanze, Ruthie Ann Miles, Leslie Odom Jr., Andrew Rannells, Aaron Tveit and Betsy Wolfe.

"Thomas Kail will direct, with music supervision by Alex Lacamoire. Additional contributors for the event include Andy Blankenbuehler, Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, and Amanda Green.". . .

ANDY NGO REPORTS: Portland business owner who promoted Antifa riots closes taproom, cites business decline in the city

  The Post Millennial | thepostmillennial.com

A woke Portland cider taproom is shutting down, citing business decline since 2020. Its owner, Nat West, advocated for business vandalism during the 2020 BLM-Antifa riots.


"A leftist Portland, Ore. business owner who advocated for the city's destruction during the Antifa and Black Lives Matter riots of 2020 and 2021 announced he is closing his taproom after suffering significant financial losses since that time.

"Nat West, the owner of Reverend Nat's Hard Cider on Southeast 35th and Division Street, who identifies as he/him on social media, is permanently shuttering the doors to his taproom. The taproom's beverages are a former staple in the progressive city now struggling with surging crime, homicides and business closures following the 2020–21 riots.

"The shuttering of West's taproom is ironic given his strong advocacy and promotion of property destruction and vandalism in Portland.

" 'Please smash all my windows if it will be a step toward change," West said in an Twitter (now X) post in April 2021, nearly a year after the deadly riots started in Portland. For more than 120 days straight in Portland, far-left extremists carried out acts of insurrection against the local and federal governments through firebombings, explosive attacks, looting, arson, gun violence and rampant property destruction.

"In response to an individual criticizing rioters for smashing up the Oregon Historical Society in October 2020 at an Antifa direct action, West suggested the museum deserved it.

"'Just because you are doing a better job now than you've done in the past doesn't exclude you from a little bit of reckoning. Doesn't demand it either. But windows are windows," West wrote.". . .

Intelligent people across the ocean see us Americans for what our culture has become and have little respect for our actions:




Trans over all

 


"The Democrats are learning on a daily basis that there is more to politics than January 6 and hating Trump.  They are also learning that some voters think their party has been hijacked by some pretty weird people who think boys can be girls and girls can be boys.

Enter a community in Michigan.  This is the story:" . . .

. . ."Betrayal?  Really?  Maybe the LGBT community never really understood the value system that these immigrants have.  Over the years, I've spoken to many Muslims in the U.S., and they are very conservative on family issues." . . .

Muslims in America be damned: Biden proposes strengthening Title IX protections for transgender students | CNN Politics    The laws targeting trans students focus on several different areas of life. In Oklahoma, for example, Republican Gov. Kevin Stitt last month signed into law a bill that requires students at public schools and public charter schools to use restrooms and locker rooms that match the sex listed on their birth certificates. Earlier this month, Louisiana banned transgender women and girls from competing on sports teams consistent with their gender at all public and some private elementary and secondary schools and colleges. A number of these so-called sports bans have already been challenged in federal court, with judges temporarily pausing West Virginia’s and Idaho’s enforcement of their bans in the last two years.

Several civil rights groups on Thursday praised the proposals from the Biden administration, saying the new rules will help protect LGBTQ youth from discrimination.

“This is a much-needed step in the right direction,” said Paul D. Castillo, an attorney with Lambda Legal, an LGBTQ legal advocacy group, in a statement." . . .
