Democratic strategist says 'Christian nationalists' are a bigger threat to US than al-Qaeda. Democrats
Carville said that Johnson's Christian beliefs are a "fundamental threat to the United States."
"Democratic strategist James Carville said that House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., and other "Christian nationalists" are a greater threat to the U.S. than al-Qaeda.
Carville made these remarks during a panel on Bill Maher's "Overtime" segment.
"Mike Johnson and what he believes is one of the greatest threats we have today to the United States," Carville said on Friday, according to Fox News.
"You're talking about Christian nationalists?" Maher asked in response.
"Absolutely," Carville answered. "This is a bigger threat than al-Qaeda to this country."
Carville went on to say that Johnson's Christian beliefs are a "fundamental threat to the United States."
Johnson was elected House speaker earlier this year after the House voted to oust Rep. Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., as speaker.
"And let me tell you something: The speaker of the House, they got probably at least two Supreme Court justices, maybe more, don't kid yourself," Carville added. "People in the press have no idea who this guy is… This is a fundamental threat to the United States. It is a fundamental thing. [They] don't believe in the Constitution."
Maher expressed a similar sentiment during his closing monologue on "Real Time," his Friday night HBO show that precedes "Overtime." He accused Johnson of "religious fanaticism" and of "rooting for the end of the world so we can get on with the Rapture."
WATCH: Legal Expert Says Hunter’s Latest Indictment Could Crush Joe: ‘Shatters Years Of Denials’
Trending Politics "The sudden new indictment of Hunter Biden could spell trouble for President Joe Biden’s reelection campaign, with at least one legal analyst predicting the president is going to have a difficult time squaring the alleged crimes with his years of denials that his son committed any crime.
"Jonathan Turley, a professor at George Washington University, told Sean Hannity on Fox News late Thursday that special counsel David Weiss’s latest charges “shatter years of denials” by President Biden related to his son’s drug addictions and business activities.
Noreika noticed that the deal seemed to give Hunter immunity for any crime going forward and asked the prosecutor if he had ever seen any agreement like this one. He honestly answered “no.”
“Just Rip it Up”: Hunter Biden is a Case Study of the Perils of Legal Gluttony – JONATHAN TURLEY
It was later learned that there was a push within the Justice Department to have no charges at all brought against Hunter in an investigation that was heavily laden with special treatment, according to IRS whistleblowers.
The second indictment of Hunter Biden brought nine new criminal charges and a host of problems for both him and his father. The indictment shatters past claims and denials related to the massive influence peddling operation by the Bidens. However, it is also a case study of the perils of legal gluttony.
"Five months ago, exasperated Biden defense counsel Chris Clark snapped at federal prosecutors to “just rip it up” after a plea bargain hit a snag in a hearing before Judge Maryellen Noreika. They did and, for the first time, Hunter could be facing a real chance for jail time.
"The six misdemeanor charges and three felonies carry a potential sentence of 17 years for alleged tax evasion and filing a false return. It could have been worse. The Justice Department inexplicably allowed the statute of limitations to run on the most serious allegations involving payments from years going back to 2013. Those are mentioned in the narrative of the indictment but not charged as separate offenses.
"None of this would have happened if Judge Noreika did not ask a very simple question about the plea agreement and a sweeping immunity provision buried in its language. Many judges would have likely flagged through the agreement and given Hunter the sweetest of sweetheart deals." . . .
Hunter Biden Hit With Nine Federal Charges Related to Four-Year Tax Evasion Scheme › American Greatness (amgreatness.com) "The charges, which include evasion of taxes, failure to file/pay taxes, and false/fraudulent tax return, were brought by Special Counsel David Weiss in the Central District of California. The case was assigned to Judge Mark Scarsi, who was appointed by former President Donald Trump. Hunter Biden faces a maximum penalty of 17 years in prison, according to Weiss’ office. He has pleaded not guilty to all the charges.
"The 56-page court filing details Hunter’s “four-year scheme” to avoid paying over $1 million in tax obligations and to file false returns.
"The indictment says that Hunter Biden “individually received more than $7 million in total gross income” between 2016 and mid-October 2020, but “willfully failed to pay his 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2019 taxes on time, despite having access to funds to pay some or all of these taxes”
“The Defendant engaged in a four-year scheme to not pay at least $1.4 million in self-assessed federal taxes he owed for tax years 2016 through 2019,” Weiss said in the indictment.
" 'In furtherance of that scheme,” according to Weiss, Hunter “subverted the payroll and tax withholding process of his own company, Owasco, PC by withdrawing millions from Owasco PC” and “spent millions of dollars on an extravagant lifestyle rather than paying his tax bills.”
“Between 2016 and October 15, 2020, the Defendant spent this money on drugs, escorts and girlfriends, luxury hotels and rental properties, exotic cars, clothing, and other items of a personal nature, in short, everything but his taxes,” Weiss said.
"The indictment includes a summary of expenditures Hunter made instead of paying his taxes." . . .
The Doomsday Cult Needs To Recalculate Its Many Failed Predictions
"Five years ago, then-California Gov. Jerry Brown said, with great certainty, that “in less than five years, even the worst skeptics will be believers.” While we’re not sure why some skeptics are in his mind worse than others, it’s clear that he was wrong.
"Wrong as the prediction of the end of snow was wrong. Just as wrong as Prince Charles, Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Al Gore, celebrated activist James Hansen and the tiresome, we’ll-have-no-coal John Kerry declaring we have fewer than 100 months or 12 years or 10 years or four years or 500 days to save Earth from the menace of man-made global warming.
"We’ve had a half-century of various failed climate and ecological predictions, 18 of them “spectacularly wrong,” yet the carbon-obsessed doomsayers continue to insist that a planetary tragedy is imminent. The difference between them and the end-of-the-world cults that have to recalculate the day of the apocalypse when their prophecies come and go without incident is that much of the Western world has bought into the climate zealots’ hysteria.
"In addition to the many botched timeline predictions, there is also the temperature dashboard warning light message. Once we reach a global temperature that is 1.5 degrees Celsius higher than that of the preindustrial era (whatever that was), we will have arrived at a disastrous threshold. Never mind that there is no such thing as a measurable global temperature, or that the temperature record is unreliable, or that the 1.5 degrees was not established by science but a number agreed upon in order to forge a climate agreement.
"And never mind that somehow we have essentially hit that 1.5 degrees Celsius tipping point (the climate holocaust should materialize any day now, right? – the lunatics at the Guardian of course say we’re on the verge of catastrophe) and at the same time, the Associated Press reports “the world is heading for considerably less warming than projected a decade ago.”
"Regarding the latter, for any rational group of people, that would be cause for a thorough reevaluation." . . .
