Hunter Biden Partner to Testify to Congress as White House Says President ‘Never in Business’ With His Son | 25 July 2023 | Hunter Biden’s former business partner is scheduled to testify to Congress as lawmakers look to dig deeper into connections between President Joe Biden, his son, and foreign nationals.

Hunter Biden lawyer accused of deception to seal bid to block plea deal | 25 July 2023 | First son Hunter Biden’s legal team was accused of pulling a dirty trick late Tuesday to block the release of d-mning evidence ahead of his expected guilty plea to federal charges of tax evasion and weapons crimes. The drama began in the morning when the House Ways and Means Committee filed an amicus brief to Delaware U.S. District Judge Maryellen Noreika arguing that the 53-year-old had benefited from “political interference which calls into question the propriety of the investigation” into alleged crimes including m-ney laundering, felony tax evasion and failure to register as a foreign agent. The filing included testimony by two IRS whistleblowers who sat for transcribed interviews May 26 and June 1. What happened next was outlined in a letter sent to the judge Tuesday afternoon by the committee’s top lawyer, Theodore Kittila. “[A]t approximately 1:30 p.m., we received word that our filing was removed from the docket,” Kittila said. “We promptly contacted the Clerk’s office, and we were advised that someone contacted the Court representing that they worked with my office [emphasis original] and that they were asking the Court to remove this from the docket. We immediately advised that this was inaccurate. The Clerk’s Office responded that we would need to re-file. We have done so now.”

McCarthy: Biden case will ‘rise to impeachment’ as 16 Romanian payments allegedly went to ‘shell companies’ –Biden notably boasted in 2016 how he told then-Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko to fire a prosecutor looking into Burisma | 25 July 2023 | House Speaker Kevin McCarthy predicted Republicans will gather enough evidence soon to mount an impeachment inquiry against President Biden, as the corruption scandal enveloping him and his son Hunter continues to grow. McCarthy, R-Calif., made reference to a relatively new revelation from the House Oversight Committee that — while Joe was vice president — Hunter Biden “capitalized” on a financial relationship with a Romanian national later convicted on corruption charges. According to prepared remarks from House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., in June, the Bidens received more than 1 million in 17 increments. McCarthy said Monday that 16 of those 17 payments went to what he described as “Biden shell companies” while Joe Biden was vice president. According to Comer’s prepared remarks, the elder Biden had been “lecturing Romania on anti-corruption policies” while instead being a “walking billboard for his…family to collect m-ney.”

Funnel Cloud Spins Over Capitol as McCarthy Floats Impeachment Inquiry of Joe Biden | 25 July 2023 | A funnel cloud was spotted over the US Capitol building on Tuesday as Speaker McCarthy floated an impeachment inquiry of Joe Biden. McCarthy floated impeachment Monday night during an appearance on Fox News after it was reported Hunter Biden’s former business associate will testify on Joe Biden’s corruption. Hunter Biden’s former associate and convicted felon, Devon Archer, is reportedly cooperating with Republican lawmakers and will testify this week on the 10 million Ukraine-Biden bribe. According to New York Post reporter Miranda Devine, Devon Archer is going to sing like a canary and tell Congress that Hunter Biden put his dad, then-VP Joe Biden on speakerphone into meetings with his foreign business associates at least two dozen times.

Security Footage Undermines Key Claims in Police Report in Death of Rosanne Boyland on Jan. 6 | 24 July 2023 | After CPR and other lifesaving efforts inside a basement entrance to the U.S. Capitol failed, Jan. 6 protester Rosanne M. Boyland was moved up one level to the Crypt, where D.C. Fire and EMS Department paramedics continued resuscitation efforts for another 40 minutes, new security video shows. Previously unreleased Capitol Police closed-circuit-television footage obtained by The Epoch Times adds crucial new details to the tragic story of Ms. Boyland, 34, of Kennesaw, Georgia, who died after collapsing outside the Lower West Terrace tunnel on Jan. 6, 2021. The security video deflates claims made in the initial Capitol Police report that Ms. Boyland simply collapsed in the Capitol Rotunda at 5 p.m. on Jan. 6, 2021, and that the officer who observed her “wandering around the Rotunda” immediately began cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Nothing that the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) relayed to Ms. Boyland’s family from the Jan. 7, 2021, report turned out to be true, except that she was dead. As the security video conclusively shows, Ms. Boyland didn’t collapse in the Rotunda, and paramedics didn’t find her there receiving CPR from two unidentified Capitol Police officers.

Democratic law firm argues mail boxes ‘unsecure’ for voting, in suit pushing for ballot drop boxes –Marc Elias, whose law firm filed the lawsuit, advocated for states to switch to mail-in voting because of the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020. | 25 July 2023 | In a lawsuit to overturn a Wisconsin Supreme Court ruling that concluded ballot drop boxes are illegal, a Democratic election law firm is now arguing that U.S. Postal Service mailboxes are in fact “unsecured.” The state’s high court ruled last year, in a 4-3 decision, the Wisconsin Elections Commission was not authorized to allow the use of the such boxes, as alternative balloting, during the 2020 presidential “election.” The majority opinion was based on the interpretation of state rules and considered a loss to liberals who largely support the method… The Elias Law Group is suing the commission on behalf of Priorities USA, the Wisconsin Alliance for Retired Americans and a voter over the ruling against ballot drop boxes. The group’s stated mission in part reads: “Committed to helping Democrats win, citizens vote, and progressives make change.”

House panel moves toward vote on holding Zuckerberg in contempt over censorship investigation | 25 July 2023 | The GOP-controlled House Judiciary Committee is scheduled to vote on holding Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg in contempt over a lack of cooperation with an investigation into Big Tech censorship. The committee announced it would vote on the motion on Thursday. The committee said the company has not cooperated with Chairman Jim Jordan’s (R-OH) requests for information on the website’s content moderation practices. Jordan has been leading several investigations into Meta as part of his role as the leader of the House Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government. “Meta has critical information that it has not turned over to the committee regarding federal government efforts to censor speech online and how Meta responded to those efforts,” Jordan’s spokesman Russell Dye told Punchbowl News on Monday. “It is imperative the committee get these materials, and we will take whatever actions necessary to facilitate that end.”

Three U.S. Marines mysteriously found dead in car at gas station by Camp Lejeune – authorities | 25 July 2023 | Three young U.S. Marines were found dead inside a car at a North Carolina gas station Sunday morning, and authorities are still trying to figure out how they died. “There’s nothing to believe it to be foul play or anything,” Sgt. Chester Ward of the Pender County Sheriff’s Department told ABC affiliate WTVD News. “We’re waiting for an autopsy report, but we have no idea of probably what happened.” Ward said no drugs were found in the vehicle. The grim discovery occurred when deputies responding to a missing person’s report found the three dead men in a four-door sedan parked outside a Speedway convenience store in Hampstead, about an hour’s drive from Camp Lejeune. The bodies were found around 9 a.m. Sunday, the sheriff’s office said on Facebook.

Edward Dowd Drops Bombshell Data: Hematological Claims Up 522% Above Trend in 2022 | 24 July 2023 | (Via Vigilant Fox Substack) “We were looking for data like this, and we found it in the UK Personal Independence [Payment] (PIP) system,” announced former BlackRock portfolio asset manager Edward Dowd on the Dr. Drew show. “We need the help of the medical community and the regulators to explain what’s going on because it’s alarming.” “And you can see, I’ll point out hematological [blood-related]…that’s up 522% in 2022. And I want to say this is versus trend. It’s not versus 2021 or 2020. It’s versus a trend that we analyzed from 2016 to 2019. So it’s a percent increase over trend. And the trends were stable — and then this exploded.”

Federal judge deals major blow to Biden administration with ruling on immigration policy | 25 July 2023 | The Biden administration was dealt a major blow in its efforts to control the ongoing border crisis on Tuesday when a federal judge blocked a rule introduced in May that makes migrants ineligible for asylum if they have entered illegally and failed to take advantage of expanded lawful pathways set up by the federal government. Judge Jon Tigar of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California blocked the Circumvention of Lawful Pathways rule in response to a lawsuit from a coalition of left-wing immigration groups, which claimed the rule was similar to a Trump-era transit ban that was similarly blocked. He found the rule is “both substantively and procedurally invalid” and has delayed his ruling from taking effect for 14 days to give the administration time to appeal. The rule formed the centerpiece of the administration’s strategy to deal with the expiration of the Title 42 public health order in May.

Commander bit the agent on his arm and his thigh…according to a Secret Service email published on Tuesday by Judicial Watch, a conservative watchdog group. The agent was sent to a local hospital by the White House physician’s office, and was taken off active duty for three days following the attack.
