Hunter Biden Finally Forced to Give Answers About His Finances in Deposition in Child Support Case –

His family has taken this posture as well. To the Biden family, she’s a non-entity who never gets mentioned when Joe Biden talks about his grandchildren; Navy gets no stocking in the Biden home at Christmas.

  RedState "Hunter Biden was finally forced to provide answers in a deposition about his finances in the child support case about his four-year-old daughter, Navy Joan Roberts.", , ,


"Biden brought the case, claiming that he could no longer afford to pay the $20,000 per month he agreed to pay in child support in 2020. He alleged things like when he went to Ireland with his father, he had to sleep on a cot in Joe’s hotel room , and that his car was repossessed. His attorneys claim he’s unemployed and has no monthly income. Yet he lives in a mansion in the Los Angeles area.

"The attorneys for Lunden Roberts, the mother of his daughter, accused Biden of stalling and refusing to turn over all the information so that no one could figure out his finances. They even moved to have him held in contempt for failing to turn over information to the court. That matter is scheduled to be heard on July 10. If he’s found guilty, he could be jailed (although that’s probably unlikely) or forced to pay $20,000 in legal fees.

“Mr. Biden does not want to disclose his income and assets, says that he is somewhat financially destitute, while he lives on a mountain overlooking the Pacific Ocean in Malibu, has Secret Service protection, and enjoys his time abroad (which he has also lied about in discovery),” Roberts’ lawyer Clinton Lancaster wrote in a court filing last month.

WATCH: Empty Stadium before game as LA Dodgers Honor Anti-Catholic Group 'Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence' Amid Protests –

This is way early before the game. However, during the game:

"Others questioned whether the stadium was ever that empty at all, suggesting that the clip didn't show the exact reality of the night. "Game is sold out and maybe 1/3 of the seats are empty," tweeted the actor Kevin T. Williams, sharing a selfie taken at the stadium. "Like every other night in LA.' "

Savanah Hernandez  
I spoke to a member of guest services and asked if the “sisters” would be getting anymore recognition or receive the Community Hero Award from the Dodgers on field. He shared that far as he knows this announcement is all they would be receiving and we’ll see no more of the “sisters” tonight.

Obama wants to keep racial resentment going

 Obama wants to keep racial resentment going (msn.com  

Yet racial resentment has been Obama’s whole schtick. Obama fanned the flames of racial division when the Black Lives Matter movement popped up in 2015. 

 

 "One thing that is lost in the cultural fights and the rhetoric that has divided the country is that former President Barack Obama is one of the biggest culprits behind those divisions, especially when it comes to race.

"Obama this week took several shots at Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC), saying that people are “rightly skeptical” of a Republican who “doesn’t have a plan for how do we address crippling generational poverty that is a consequence of hundreds of years of racism in this society” and that we can’t just “pretend as if everything’s equal and fair.” Along with that, Obama also said that the GOP has embraced resentment and anger.

"Yet racial resentment has been Obama’s whole schtick. Obama fanned the flames of racial division when the Black Lives Matter movement popped up in 2015. He said that the death of Michael Brown, who had assaulted officer Darren Wilson and attempted to grab Wilson’s gun during a confrontation Brown initiated, was proof of a “broken and racially-biased system.” He also claimed that “millions of Americans” were racists who were “spooked” by his election in 2008.

"Obama’s message now is that black people cannot have any success in America without some “plan” handed down by the government. It’s the same message you can find now being pushed in schools to children in the form of critical race theory. Obama wants black people to think that those same “millions” of racist people who hated him will stand in their way at every turn, and that the criminal justice system itself is “racist” because a criminal was shot by a police officer after attacking that officer." . . .

The Unbearable Lightness of Being a Nazi

Comments to this post "I think an important take-away from this is to know and remember that, before the atrocities started, these hundreds of thousands of people weren't serial killers, they were good soldiers, store clerks, administration workers, clerks, etc.... people like the people around you today, every day of your life. These people didn't just fly in one day when mass-murder and torture were suddenly deemed "normal" things to do to other people. They were always there. Here's the thing you must realize: people like this are STILL there, around you, right now. By the thousands. All it would take is another slow normalization of the demonizing of a particular cross-section of your fellow citizens, and many of the people around you, that you think you know well, would step up into their roles as monsters, to repeat history once more. Starting to sound familiar yet?"


"The horror and pain in the elder woman's voice and the haunting still in her eyes just did something to me. It's like obviously the horrors and the murders and brutal treatments happened. You'd have to be really stupid and inhuman to think they didn't happen. But for me, hearing and seeing it in that lucky survivor (lucky to survive but unlucky to have been there and have vivid memories to the day she passed of old age) hearing and seeing it coming from her and off of her made it 101% real. Like, I know it happened but now I KNOW it happened, if that makes sense.

"Seeing the upper soldiers/heads of the horror just... Did something to me also. They were real. Those pics of those men are real, THEY were real, that's all of them in living flesh - though in pic form now, obviously. It's just so messed up that if we could step through those pics, we'd be standing right in front of those men - and they'd have zero pity. Zero. Curiosity, yes. But then we'd be killed for witchcraft, just appearing like that.

"I've never been to Auschwitz or any of the camps, and I don't think I could do it. To stand where victims and torturing murders stood, to see what the victims saw, to lay eyes on what the nazis looked at... I could not handle it. Then again, it would be good to go for a good reason: those who were forced to be there didn't want to go, just like I don't want to visit - but to visit would be the best way I could say, "Your suffering, trauma, horror, and even deaths, I see you. I'm from the future, but I see you. I know the hell you went through. Your voices and pleas are heard. It may be too late, but your stories are heard. I walk where you walked to remember you and keep your memory alive."

If You’re Going To Use The Word ‘Fascism,’ Learn What It Means –

 Issues & Insights (issuesinsights.com)

“The left, which has marched through our institutions, won’t rest until the civil society we have flourished in has been replaced with a political society. It craves a societal breakdown, to bury the political and social norms that stand in its path to unchallengeable power.”


"A couple of days ago, we posted a satirical piece, call it a sati-torial, with a list of headlines we’re never going to see. One of them said “Democrats Realize They’ve Been Using The Word ‘Fascist’ Wrong For Decades.” There’s a lot of truth in there. The way the political left tosses around that word shows that they have no idea what it means.

"Or maybe they do. And they’re intentionally applying it wrongly because they’re driven by their depravity.

"Either way, we’ve been hearing it for decades. And its use has accelerated in recent years along with the irresponsible usage of “white supremacy” and “white privilege.”

Exactly two months ago, Clinton Treasury Secretary Robert Reich wrote a column for the loose-screw Guardian under the headline “​​The modern Republican party is hurtling towards fascism.”

"The Independent, another British propaganda sheet, in 2021 ran the rantings of columnist Patrick Cockburn, who declared Republicans were replicating “the structure of fascist movements in Europe in the 1920s and 1930s.”

"In a bizarre speech last summer heavy with Third Reich overtones, Joe Biden said “the entire philosophy that underpins” Trump-supporting Republicans is “like semi-fascism.” His press secretary the next day said “It is very clear” that “what MAGA Republicans have done” fits “the definition of fascism.”

"Years earlier, George W. Bush had “come to embody the f-word” – fascist – “for a whole generation of activists.”

"Our Power Line friend Steven Hayward was prescient in 2008 when he said “the left will go on deploying ‘fascism’ as a conversation-stopper against conservatives, even though the term ought to be associated overwhelmingly with” the political left.

"Though they make their claims with a stomach-turning self-assuredness, never in their ravings do the accusers point out even approximately what fascism is, or what fascists do. But, for the record, here’s what fascists don’t do:" . . .

Good Morning America, Wake up and Smell What's Happening: ABC Reporter Says It's Too Dangerous to Film in Downtown SF –

Union Square used to be the beating heart of San Francisco. But a recent survey found that since 2019, nearly 50 percent of all the stores here have left. Now it’s empty storefront after empty storefront… after empty storefront. 

 RedState  "Two stories this week illustrate just how decadent and dangerous the formerly proud city of San Francisco has become. In the first, RedState‘s Sister Toldjah reported on how conservative author Shelby Steele and his filmmaker son Eli were robbed of tens of thousands of dollars in equipment Wednesday as they tried to film a documentary. The police were overwhelmed—as they always are in San Francisco due to defunding—and were of no help. The irony? The movie the Steeles were making “explores how defunding the police has hurt society.' ”

"Then on Wednesday, ABC reporter Matt Gutman told his live audience that downtown San Francisco was simply too dangerous an area for his crew to film in. I remember watching news crews covering the ’92 L.A. riots, and during the George Floyd mayhem, you’d always find a reporter in a helmet roaming around describing the “mostly peaceful protests.”

"Gutman himself was “a Jerusalem-based reporter for seven years, covering every major conflict in the Middle East,” according to his ABC bio. But downtown San Francisco? No—that’s simply too perilous.

"Gutman’s piece aired on “Good Morning America” and focused on the “growing real estate dead zone” in the City by the Bay, exemplified by the mall company Westfield’s decision to stop paying on the over $500 million mortgage it carries for a property that is down to only 55 percent occupancy. But it was his last line that said more than all his other statistics and examples combined:

What Are the Traits of a 'Wannabe Dictator'? Tucker Carlson's Monologue Holds Nothing Back (townhall.com)

 Townhall

If Biden were a wannabe dictator he'd also be giving speeches that "look liek Nuremberg rallies, a blood red backdrop, armed soldiers by his side, screaming about crushing his eternal enemies." Biden definitely didn't do that in Philadelphia last September, he said.


. . ."[O]f course Joe Biden is not a wannabe dictator just because he's trying to put the other candidate in prison for the rest of his life for a crime he himself committed. That doesn't mean he has a totalitarian impulse, come on, that's absurd," Carlson said, explaining it takes a lot more than "jailing your political rivals" to earn the title of a wannabe dictator. 

"First off there is the money," he began. "The one thing that all dictators have in common is they enrich themselves and their families, their tribe, even as the countries they govern grow steadily poorer and more desperate."

"People also can't demonstrate in large numbers to protest or else they'll be arrested or even shot to death, as in the case of Ashli Babbitt, Carlson said. Making matters worse, relatives can also be arrested "for daring to complain that their children were killed for complaining."

"He then pointed to the arrest of Ashli Babbitt's mother. 

"But suppressing criticism wouldn't stop there. A wannabe dictator wouldn't allow citizens to express their "unauthorized opinions" on the internet, either.

"And there's more: 

" 'In any case you're in the process of being disarmed anyway along with everyone else who has shown questionable loyalty to the leader," Carlson said. "Those who support the regime can keep their weapons and use them freely including on public transportation. That's a core civil right for them, but for those who dissent from the program, self-defense is an unaffordable privilege - turn in your guns, Mr. & Mrs. peaceful opposition, you're a danger to society and We Know Who You Are. And in fact, the wannabe dictator does know who they are because he knows everything. Technology has made him All-Seeing." 

" 'So the administration now knows everything: where you spend your days, who you talk to, what you think, your porn habits. Not a big deal," he continued. "The administration already knows what you buy, of course, because they've leaned on the big banks to turn over your confidential credit card information not because anyone here is a wannabe dictator, to be clear, but just because it's nice to have that information just in case, in the words of the Fox News PR department, a situation arises that needs to be quote 'addressed.'". . .

Ben Shapiro Explains How Daniel Penny Case Illustrates ‘Two-Tiered’ Justice System In Blue Cities

 The Daily Wire

"The treatment of New York subway Samaritan Daniel Penny is just more proof that there is a “two-tiered system of justice” in blue cities, Daily Wire Editor Emeritus Ben Shapiro said Thursday.

"Shapiro was responding on his podcast to the news that Penny, a former Marine who is accused of killing Jordan Neely, was indicted by a grand jury in Manhattan. The Daily Wire co-founder said that the law is being enforced inconsistently in Democrat-run cities, especially if a white person is accused of harming a black person. 

“ 'So take, for example, in the case in which a crazed white homeless person is subdued by a law-abiding black American Marine, and then the white person dies, do you think that black person is going to end up in the dock, indicted by a grand jury and prospectively spending the rest of his life in prison?” Shapiro wondered. 

"Shapiro noted the complexity of the Penny case, as several witnesses on the train reported that Neely, who had a violent past, was making threatening comments toward passengers on the train. Video shows Penny putting Neely in a headlock on the floor of a subway in an attempt to subdue him alongside other passengers." . . . 

Why Daniel Penny’s arrest led THIS mom to WANT cowardly sons (rumble.com) ‘Get out of there…get away before it escalates.’ In fact, Keenan wrote in a recent op-ed that she regrets not teaching her sons earlier in life to be cowardly. She joins Glenn in this clip to explain why, for the men in her life, she’d much rather they watch the danger from afar than to get involved: ‘It’s really sad.’

 Johns Hopkins University erases women - American Thinker 

"The transgender movement is incredibly insulting — and dangerous — to women.  (And I can define "woman" quite easily, by the way.  Let me know if you'd like me to.) The bottom line?  Women are being virtually — and summarily — erased

By Andrea Widburg ('cause the joke just wrote itself).


"Johns Hopkins University, that revered medical research powerhouse, is now referring to lesbians as "non-men," at least in its updated glossary of LGBT terms.  The recently updated "LGBTQ Glossary" can be found on the prestigious university's "Gender and Sexuality Resources" webpage.

"The comprehensive A–Z list features a series of LGBT-related terms and their definitions — from "AFAB (Assigned Female at Birth)" to "WSW," an acronym for "women (who simulate) sex (with) women.' " . . .


Johns Hopkins University Pulled ‘Non-Man’ Lesbian Definition, But Website Still Promotes New Transgender Language | The Daily Wire  "Johns Hopkins University pulled its controversial definition of “lesbian” after relentless online mockery, but the school’s website still promotes extremely progressive transgender language.

" 'While past definitions refer to ‘lesbian’ as a woman who is emotionally, romantically, and/or sexually attracted to other women, this updated definition includes non-binary people who may also identify with the label,” the definition adds.
"The entire glossary has since been taken down, pending review.

Republican senator warns parents to ‘flee’ California over radical new transgender bill

“It just breaks my heart. I [was] born and raised in California, I love this state,” he said. “I’m not gonna stay in this state because it’s just too oppressive.” 

Child Waves At His Teacher And Principal Acting Out Bondage Scene

LifeSiteNews   "A Republican state senator on Tuesday issued a stark warning to California parents, urging them to “flee” the state if they love their children as a radical bill advances that could result in parents being considered “abusive” if they refuse to affirm their own child’s gender confusion.

"California’s Senate Judiciary Committee voted 8-2 on Tuesday night (with one abstention) to pass Assembly Bill 957, which would characterize a “parent’s affirmation of the child’s gender identity as part of the health, safety, and welfare of the child.”

"The measure would alter Section 3011 of the California Family Code to require judges to consider whether or not parents “affirm” a child’s “transgender” identity as one of the factors in the consideration of custody disagreements, LifeSiteNews previously reported. 

"The Washington Free Beacon noted that the vaguely worded new amendment has sparked worries that “non-affirmation” will be regarded in the Golden State “as abuse.”

“ 'In the past, when we’ve had these discussions, and I’ve seen parental rights atrophy, I’ve encouraged people to keep fighting,” California state Sen. Scott Wilk said during the Tuesday night Senate Judiciary Committee hearing.

“ 'I’ve changed my mind on that — if you love your children, you need to flee California,” he said. “You need to flee.”

Wilk said the bill’s language could be used by the state to remove children from their homes if their parents don’t “support the ideology of the government.”

“I believe in freedom,” Wilk said, quipping that he’ll “move to America when I leave the legislature.”. . .

Indict Trump's valet? Why not the biggest liars first?

 Was Biden's Corvette garage more secure than the closets and bathrooms inside the Mar-a-Lago gated estate? 

"I’ve always been proud to serve the country I love"

Victor Davis Hanson (jewishworldreview.com)  "Walt Nauta is a 10-year veteran of the Navy and served as an aide to former President Donald Trump both in and out of office.

"Special Counsel Jack Smith has now indicted him for allegedly ”making false statements in interviews with the FBI.” The indictment's subtext is that Nauta refused to cooperate with, and turn state's evidence to, the special counsel in its efforts to convict Trump.

"But why stop the indictments with a man who loyally served and followed the orders of the former president of the United States, was a Navy veteran, and a hard-working immigrant from Guam?

"Are there not far bigger fish to fry to remind Americans that justice is blind?

"After all, when Smith announced his indictments of Trump, he lectured America on the rule of law and the cherished notion that no one is above it.

"So let us start with the former interim director of the FBI itself, Andrew McCabe.

"McCabe admittedly lied four times about his illegally leaking sensitive information to witnesses and mishandling classified information.

"Have those crimes suddenly ceased being felonies?

"Or is it now the policy of the United States government that an FBI director can lie with impunity, and leak, and mishandle sensitive classified information?

"Yet Walt Nauta may be sent to prison while McCabe will continue to earn a fine salary at CNN as a paid ”expert” to deplore . . . what exactly?

"What McCabe knows best from his own experience with the deed — the ”mishandling of classified information”?". . .

These 20 House Republicans voted to block resolution to censure Adam Schiff

The Hill Twenty House Republicans joined Democrats on Wednesday in voting to table a resolution to censure Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), breaking from the majority of the GOP conference on a measure that was backed by leadership.

"The House voted 225-196-7 to effectively kill the measure, which was spearheaded by Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.). It called for censuring and condemning Schiff “for conduct that misleads the American people in a way that is not befitting an elected Member of the House of Representatives"

"It also would have directed the Ethics Committee to conduct an investigation into Schiff’s “lies, misrepresentations, and abuses of sensitive information

"Twenty Republicans voted with Democrats in favor of the motion to table: Reps. Kelly Armstrong (N.D.), Lori Chavez-DeRemer (Ore.), Juan Ciscomani (Ariz.), Tom Cole (Okla.), Warren Davidson (Ohio), Brian Fitzpatrick (Pa.), Kay Granger (Texas), Garret Graves (La.), Thomas Kean Jr. (N.J.), Kevin Kiley (Calif.), Young Kim (Calif.), Mike Lawler (N.Y.), Thomas Massie (Ky.), Tom McClintock (Calif.), Mark Molinaro (N.Y.), Jay Obernolte (Calif.), Mike Simpson (Idaho), Mike Turner (Ohio), David Valadao (Calif.) and Steve Womack (Ark.)." . . .

The fine was a deal-breaker

Adam Schiff Avoids Being Censured in Republican-Controlled House, For Now (townhall.com)   There had been a sense of dramatic chatter on Wednesday leading up to the vote, as Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) indicated over Twitter he would vote to table the motion, thus not censuring Schiff. Although he agreed that Schiff "acted unethically," he expressed that the "$16 million fine is in violation of the 27th and 8th amendments."
