‘A Vicious Monster’: Biden Blistered for Exploiting Grandchild to Distract from Corruption Charges, Legal Woes

(Mark Pellin, Headline USA) After four years of actively ignoring the existence of his four-year-old granddaughter, Navy, President Joe Biden on Friday used a scripted memo served up to a regime-friendly media outlet to finally acknowledge the familial tie.

The president and the Biden clan have consistently shunned the young child since she was born out-of-wedlock to First Son Hunter Biden and former stripper Lunden Roberts. As recently as two months ago, Biden again disappeared Navy from the family, even as Hunter was reportedly ducking child-support by hiding at the White House.

Hunter used a powerhouse legal team to decimate his child support payments for Navy, shill his paintings to cover parts of the reduced tab and force Roberts to drop her request to give her daughter Biden’s name as part of the agreement. As part of the erasure narrative, White House staff had been instructed to either deny the existence of, or ignore questions about the Biden’s seventh grandchild.

For a White House 2021 holiday bash, the Biden’s displayed six Christmas stockings for their grandchildren, omitting Navy, but including one stocking for their dog.

While stopping short of calling it outright child abuse, Fox News host Jesse Watters blasted Biden for a disgraceful political stunt that used his granddaughter in a desperate attempt to polish his own image and divert avert attention from multiple scandals and legal woes engulfing the president.

“In a week when Hunter’s plea deal exposes the family’s corruption and Republican’s float an impeachment inquiry and we find out about off-shore bank accounts, the White House places a written statement with a tabloid at 5:00 on a summer Friday,” Watters said.

“With the cocaine scandal, the bribery scandal, the callousness of ignoring your own flesh and blood, Joe Biden’s family-man, middle-class brand is in tatters. And a PR stunt at this point — not going to cut it.”

Watters wasn’t alone in condemning Biden’s suspect motives for suddenly offering public acknowledgement of Navy.

“How bad was the polling for them to change course on this? Don’t forget they literally sent out a memo ordering people to say there were only 6 grandchildren,” tweeted Post Millennial editor Ari Hoffman. “What a vicious monster,” Turning Point USA’s Benny Johnson ripped, while another tweet cracked, “The handlers want to take focus off the Biden Racketeering scandal.”

“Let’s be honest,” Watters said of the president’s stunt. “Joe acknowledged his granddaughter after four years because his brand was taking a beating. He was shamed into doing this.”

‘Move Her Out’: Biden’s Mega Donors Disavow Kamala, Report Says

(Luis Cornelio, Headline USA) In a bombshell revelation, a new report uncovered a growing discontent among some of the Democrat Party’s biggest donors towards Vice President Kamala Harris.  

Despite her recent efforts seeking funds for President Joe Biden’s re-election campaign, some of the largest Democrat donors remain uninterested in Harris, with some pushing for her ousting. 

“Democrats involved in fundraising said that staff turnover earlier in Harris’ term contributed to the difficulties she’s confronted on the donor circuit,” reported Politico, referring to Harris’s staffers quitting working for her. “For others, it was the primary debate four years ago where she attacked Biden that made them sour. There is a general nervousness about her poor approval ratings, even though she and Biden have similar numbers.” 

According to interviews conducted by Politico with nine donors and top-donor advisers, concerns have been brewing within fundraising circles over Harris’s ability to rally financial support. 

Two donors went as far as stating that they were reluctant to host big-money events with Harris as the main attraction, fearing that she wouldn’t be able to draw enough contributions. 

Attorney John Morgan, a prominent Biden supporter and major Democrat contributor, dropped a bombshell statement to Politico, revealing the depth of discontent among Biden supporters.  

““When I talk to ’em, when I’m around people, everybody knows the problem, and everybody knows there’s no solution to the problem,” said Morgan. “She’s not going anywhere. If you try to move her out, you’re gonna have the K Hive come at you with everything they have.”

The tensions surrounding Harris within the donor universe have created a chilling effect on the party, raising concerns right as the general election campaign gains momentum. 

In response to the mounting concerns, Harris’s team has been making efforts to mend relationships with donors. Some Democrat fundraisers reported to Politico that Harris has been actively engaging with donors at recent events, working the crowds and courting potential supporters.  

Despite these efforts, questions remain regarding her ability to secure the backing of top contributors if she were to run for the White House in 2028. 

Judge Blasts FBI for Manufactured Terrorism Plot, Sets Defendants Free

Judge Blasts FBI for Manufactured Terrorism Plot, Sets Defendants Free

(Ken Silva, Headline USA) Three men convicted in a post-9/11 terrorism sting have been ordered freed from prison by a judge who deemed their lengthy sentences “unduly harsh and unjust” and decried the FBI’s role in radicalizing them in a plot to blow up New York synagogues and shoot down National Guard planes.

Onta Williams, David Williams and Laguerre Payen—three of the men known as the “Newburgh Four”—were “hapless, easily manipulated and penurious petty criminals” caught up more than a decade ago in a scheme driven by overzealous FBI agents and a dodgy informant, U.S. District Judge Colleen McMahon said in her ruling Thursday.

Though a jury had already rejected the men’s argument that they were entrapped by the FBI more than 10 years ago, McMahon’s opinion excoriated the bureau for doing just that.

“The real lead conspirator was the United States,” McMahon wrote in granting the men’s request for compassionate release, effective in three months.

According to McMahon, the FBI portrayed the defendants as “sophisticated international terrorists committed to jihad against the United States.”

But in reality, the defendants were manipulated into manufactured terrorism plots by a “most savory” FBI informant named Shaheed Hussain, the judge said.

McMahon outlined how Hussain manipulated the lead defendant, James Cromite, by pretending to be a wealthy Pakistani businessman, promising Cromite as much as $250,000 if he would plan, participate in and find others to join a jihadist “mission.”

In 2008, Cromite then recruited Onta and David Williams, as well as Payen, to serve as “lookouts” while he planted “bombs” manufactured by the FBI at a synagogue and community center in Riverdale.

“Nothing about the crimes of conviction was of defendants’ own doing,” the judge said.

“The FBI invented the conspiracy; identified the targets, manufactured the ordnance, federalized what would have otherwise been a state crime (the Bronx ‘bomb’ plot) by driving three of the four men into Connecticut to view the ‘bombs’ and ‘stinger missile launchers’ that would be used in the operation; and picked the day for the ‘mission’ (which was filmed in real time so it could be shown on television news the night were arrested).”

On May 20, 2008, FBI informant Hussain drove the four men to Riverdale—the judge said they had no way to drive themselves—where they planted a fake bomb by the community center before being promptly arrested.

The two Williams men and Payen are set to be released in three months due to Judge McMahon’s ruling.

The lead defendant, Cromitie, wasn’t part of the compassionate release request and is expected to complete his prison sentence in 2030. Cromitie’s attorney, Kerry Lawrence, said he plans to speak with him about pursuing similar action on his behalf.

The U.S. attorney’s office declined to comment on the judge’s decision. A message seeking comment was sent to the FBI.

Meanwhile, FBI informant Hussain is in prison for actions unrelated to the abovementioned case.

Hussain’s predicament stems from 2018, when a stretch limo crashed in rural Schoharie, New York, killing 20 people. Hussain owned the limo company, operated by his son Nauman Hussain.

After it emerged that the limo had failed a safety inspection a month before the crash and that the slain driver didn’t have a commercial license, Nauman Hussain was charged with criminally negligent homicide and manslaughter. His lawyer blamed a repair shop for the vehicle’s problems and said his client was being treated like a scapegoat.

Nauman Hussain was convicted this May and is serving five to 15 years in prison.

Illegals Abusing Visa Overstays Could Face Huge Fines under Proposed Legislation

Illegals Abusing Visa Overstays Could Face Huge Fines under Proposed Legislation

(Robert Jonathan, Headline USA) Under new legislation proposed in Congress, temporary visitors to the U.S. who illegally overstay their visas would automatically lose a sizable cash deposit for violating immigration law.

On Thursday, U.S. Sen. JD Vance, R- Ohio, introduced the Timely Departure Act that, if enacted, would require “non-immigrant visa recipients,” subject to certain exceptions, to pay a lump sum to the Department of Homeland Security ranging from $5,000 to $15,000 before entering the U.S.

The incentivizing bond becomes refundable upon the foreign national’s punctual departure in accordance with visa requirements.

DHS keeps the money, however, if a visa holder fails to return to his or her home country on time.

Similar to a fine, the proceeds then get deposited into a designated Immigration and Detention Enforcement Account set aside for that purpose, including deportation measures.

Vance’s legislative crackdown would also serve to bar any visa overstayer from applying for asylum after that person’s paperwork deadline established on or about when they arrived here legally expires.

In a statement, the pro-Trump, populist senator explained that “America is a welcoming nation, but we are also a nation of laws. There are millions of people in this country who have abused our visa system and circumvented our legal immigration process.”

He added that “It is a slap in the face to the working-class Ohioans whose wages are suffering – I will not stand for it. I’m proud to introduce this legislation and bring some sanity to our broken immigration system.”

That special account could wind up being flush with cash since there are, by some estimates, approximately 700,000 visa overstayers every year.

While the institutional left typically insists that America is systemically racist, people from all over world still want to come here. And based on the above-referenced numbers, when they get here, legally or illegally, they seldom want to leave.

Realistically, with Democrats narrowly in control of the Senate, and the open-borders, deportation-averse, catch-and-release, stealth-amnesty Democrat Biden administration currently in charge of the executive branch, it’s unlikely that Vance’s bill can, for now, gain traction.

Election 2024 could flip the script, obviously.

“Today, there are anywhere from 11 to 22 million illegal aliens living in the U.S. Estimates have repeatedly projected that about half of all illegal aliens living in the country arrived on visas and subsequently overstayed,” Breitbart News reported on Thursday.

PublicSq Offers Job Opportunities to Sacked Anheuser-Busch Employees

(Dmytro “Henry” Aleksandrov, Headline USA) Digital anti-woke marketplace PublicSq sent an open letter from the company’s founders offering to assist former Bud Light employees finding new jobs after parent company Anheuser-Busch laid off 350 employees on Wednesday.

Over the few years of its existence, PublicSq has aggregated more than 55,000 Constitutional values-aligned businesses that are “Pro-Life, Pro-Family, Pro-Freedom,” the official website stated.

“Bud Light’s parent company Anheuser-Busch announced yesterday that they are laying off 350 employees. Losing a job is never easy and it’s unfortunate their company decided to prioritize woke ideology over doing what was best for the brand. So we want to help,” PublicSq CEO and founder Michael Seifert wrote.

“If any laid-off Bud Light employee reaches out to PublicSQ or RedBalloon, we will help you find a new job in our network of non-woke businesses,” he added, including the open letter in his tweet.

The letter consoled recently laid-off Anheuser-Busch employees, saying that their former employer “prioritized left-wing ideology over sound business practices,” referring to Bud Light’s infamous sponsorship with “transgender” activist and TikTok influencer Dylan Mulvaney.

The letter also stated that it was “unfortunate” that Anheuser-Busch CEO Brandon Whitworth was still collecting a “massive annual salary,” criticizing him for not facing consequences for his actions.

“You are the ones that suffer for Bud Light’s disastrous decision. People like to say ‘go woke, go broke’ and in reality, the economic consequences rarely fall on the wealthy liberals that make the woke decisions,” the letter said.

“Losing a job is always a challenging moment in one’s life and we at PublicSq and RedBalloon would like to help you get through it.”

PublicSq encouraged fired Bud Light employees to submit resumes to [email protected] where PublicSq and RedBalloon would distribute resumes to tens of thousands of pro-America businesses.

“We started our businesses to help people like you. The growing progressive politicization of our economy hurts Americans in so many different ways and it’s time we take a stand against it,” the letter stated.

Just like PublicSq, RebBalloon presents itself as “America’s largest and most successful non-woke job board and talent connector” and an “answer to the divisive and toxic ‘cancel culture’ invading the American workplace,” Timcast reported.

‘I’ll Kick Your Ass’: McCarthy and Swalwell Rumble in Explosive House Showdown

(Luis Cornelio, Headline USA) Congressional leaders, Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., and House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., found themselves at the center of an explosive confrontation following Swalwell’s fury over the GOP-led censure against Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif.

The confrontation, which occurred during a contentious vote on the censorship of Schiff, reportedly reached a boiling point, leaving witnesses astounded by the intensity of the exchange, according to the Daily Beast.

Eyewitnesses recounted that Swalwell appeared visibly agitated and directly confronted McCarthy during the heated vote.

During the House floor session, Swalwell allegedly launched a vicious personal attack on the GOP leader, berating him with strong words, “This is pathetic. You’re weak. You’re a weak man.” While McCarthy reportedly remained silent in response to Swalwell’s insults, the tension escalated further the next day during Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit.

According to the Daily Beast, as Modi was on the verge of delivering a joint address to Congress, McCarthy confronted Swalwell and issued a menacing threat, “If you ever say something like that to me again, I’m gonna kick the shit out of you.”

Eyewitnesses observed the two lawmakers in close proximity, with Swalwell daringly questioning whether they were ready to take their altercation to another level, “Are we really gonna do this?”

The feud between Swalwell and McCarthy took an even more aggressive turn when McCarthy warned Swalwell, “Call me a pussy again, and I’ll kick your ass.” Swalwell responded with a taunt, repeating the provocative term, “You. Are. A. Pussy.”

Witnesses noted McCarthy’s apparent lack of reaction, though the Daily Beast reported that he was visibly upset, with “a vein popping out of his forehead.”

As per the outlet’s reporting, the escalating tension between the two lawmakers may have roots in McCarthy’s scrutiny of Swalwell’s alleged intimate relationship with a suspected Chinese spy. This scrutiny eventually led to Swalwell’s removal, along with Schiff, from the House Intelligence Committee.

FBI Ignored 2021 Tip about Syrian Terrorist Who Nearly Committed Fargo Massacre

FBI Ignored 2021 Tip about Syrian Terrorist Who Nearly Committed Fargo Massacre

(Corine Gatti, Headline USA) The FBI sat on information that could have prevented the recent murder of a police officer and shooting of two others, along with a civilian bystander.

Even more damning for the disgraced law-enforcement agency, however, was that, except for the bravery and sharp-shooting of another police officer in the line of fire, a far greater tragedy might have been on its hands in Fargo, North Dakota.

According to FrontPageMag, the FBI received an anonymous tip in July 2021 regarding Mohamad Barakat, the 37-year-old gunman whose unprovoked roadside rampage killed 23-year-old Officer Jake Wallin.

Inside Barakat’s vehicle, investigators found a homemade hand grenade, as well as a vest with loaded magazines, more firearms and canisters of gasoline. There were more weapons back at his apartment.

“When you look at the amount of ammunition this shooter had in his car, he was planning on more mayhem in our community,” Fargo Mayor Tim Mahoney said.

The initial story reported that the Syrian immigrant’s motive was unknown and that he had no prior ties to terrorism—a tale that appears untrue.

At first, Mac Schneider, the Biden Justice Department’s U.S. Attorney for North Dakota, claimed he did not have evidence of Barakat’s motive, declining to comment on whether the cop-killer was on the FBI’s radar.

Schneider cited information from federal partners suggesting Barakat was not on the terrorist watch list. He referenced a Guardian report—the FBI’s web-based counterterrorism incident management system—claiming it found no related threats of violence.

Meanwhile, the FBI gave the problem to the local police. 

“In July 2021, the FBI’s National Threat Operations Center received an anonymous tip expressing concern about the mental state of Mohamad Barakat,” the statement from the FBI and Fargo Police said in an email to Fargo’s Inforum.

“The tip indicated that Barakat had access to a significant number of firearms and had used threatening language,” noted the website.

Fargo police visited Barakat’s residence three times in two weeks and made contact during the third visit. They noticed that Barakat had firearms in his apartment, but they were not illegal and he was allowed to possess them. Barakat then denied having ill intentions during the interrogation, FrontPageMag reported. 

For some reason, the Fargo Police Department declined an open-records request for any incident reports that mentioned Barakat—including police reports filed before the shooting, the outlet noted.

However, the FBI became interested in Barakat investigation hours after Barakat shot officers from the open driver’s side window of his parked vehicle, North Dakota Attorney General Drew Wrigley said.

Authorities wanted to know what the FBI was hiding in the first place.

“But we were wondering, what aren’t they telling us?” said Wrigley, who acknowledged the existing Guardian report, said in an interview with Inforum after the shooting.

He noted Barakat searched online about mass-casualty incidents before the shooting, suggesting that he had intentions of attacking people at the Downtown Street Fair in Fargo. 

White House Claims There Is ‘No Possibility’ of Pardon For Hunter Biden

White House Claims There Is ‘No Possibility’ of Pardon For Hunter Biden

(Headline USA) The White House claimed this week there is “no possibility” that President Joe Biden would pardon his son, Hunter Biden, who is facing federal charges for tax evasion and is under investigation for illegally operating as a foreign agent.

During a press conference on Thursday, Fox News reporter Mark Meredith asked White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre whether there is “any possibility that the president would end up pardoning his son.”

“No,” Jean-Pierre replied.

When Meredith attempted to press her further, Jean-Pierre snapped: “I just said no. I just answered.”

This answer is much different than the one the White House gave last year. Asked about whether a presidential pardon would be a possibility for Hunter, former White House communications director Kate Bedingfield refused to rule it out. 

“That’s not a hypothetical I’m going to entertain,” she said.

Critics have pointed out that Joe Biden doesn’t need to issue a pardon for Hunter since his Justice Department is already busy trying to exonerate him.

“Why would he need to? His own DOJ just tried to slip a blanket immunity deal past a federal judge,” conservative commentator Stephen Miller tweeted.

American Spectator publisher Melissa Mackenzie tweeted, “Uh huh. That’s because they’re counting on the fact that there’s no possibility he gets more than a wrist-slap.”

Others argued Jean-Pierre was being dishonest.

“No one actually believes Karine Jean-Pierre here,” said Steve Guest.

New York Post columnist Miranda Devine agreed: “Pin that on the wall.”

Hunter Biden appeared in court this week and was expected to plead guilty to two misdemeanor tax charges as part of a sweetheart plea deal brokered for him by the DOJ. However, the plea fell apart after the judge presiding over the case discovered that Hunter is also currently under investigation for possible violations of the Foreign Agents Registration Act.

GRACIA: The Urgency of Accountability and Action in Defending Our Borders

(Bianca Gracia, Headline USA contributor) Our nation is founded on the rule of law and the preservation of American sovereignty—values that are currently being threatened by the administration’s approach to border security and immigration enforcement.

Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas appears to be sidestepping these foundational principles, undermining the integrity of our immigration system by failing to remove nearly a million deportable immigrants.

Instead of adhering to our established immigration laws, illegal entries and visa overstays are now common under Mayorkas’s administration. This has created an intricate “shell game,” with illegal immigration surreptitiously funneled through legal ports of entry under the cover of the CBPOne app.

This strategy not only misrepresents the true number of illegal crossings, but it also adds nearly a million undocumented immigrants to the U.S. population each year through visa overstays.

This state of affairs is unacceptable and warrants immediate action. If we are to reclaim our borders, enforce our immigration laws and safeguard American citizens, certain critical steps must be taken.

Firstly, we need to recognize the crisis at our border as an invasion, as stated in the Texas Constitution Article 1 Section 10. This would allow us to close the border and every port of entry until the crisis is sufficiently addressed.

To further bolster our border enforcement capabilities, we should deputize veterans and activate our National Guard. This strategy puts into action individuals who have served our country and understand the importance of its defense.

Simultaneously, we must also hold accountable those individuals aiding and abetting this invasion. Any federal, state or county individual found to be facilitating this illegal activity must face arrest. There should be no exceptions for those in positions of power who undermine our national security.

Our response also demands negotiation with Mexico. Our border will remain closed until Mexico takes substantive action to halt the illegal migration from their end. If they fail to act, they will have to contend with the economic consequences of closed border entries.

Beyond immediate border actions, we need to call for an emergency legislative session. Our lawmakers must produce a comprehensive border security bill that designates cartels, human traffickers and smugglers as terrorists and enemies of the state. This legislation is vital to ensure the safety of our state and the country.

Finally, we should also conduct thorough investigations of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) involved in immigration issues. We need to scrutinize how these organizations have spent their grant funds and demand evidence of tangible results from their work.

These are challenging times, but with a dedicated focus on law enforcement and accountability, we can reclaim control of our borders and safeguard the integrity of our immigration system.

Ramaswamy Says He Won’t Support a National Abortion Ban

Ramaswamy Says He Won’t Support a National Abortion Ban

(Ezekiel Loseke, Headline USA) Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy has said that he would not sign a federal abortion ban.

Ramaswamy clarified that, though he would not ban abortion, he was personally opposed to abortion, according to Life News.

“I’m personally a believer that unborn life is life,” he said, setting up his basic agreement with the pro-life movement, before disagreeing with part of it.

Despite describing himself as “unapologetically pro-life,” Ramaswamy made comments on The All-In podcast that some claimed cast doubt on his pro-life bona fides.

“I would not support a federal abortion ban of any kind on principled ground,” he said to the All-In Podcast. “Because to me, I am grounded in constitutional principles and I think there’s no legal basis for the federal government to legislate,” he continued.

“The Tenth Amendment says that part of the American experiment is that we have diversity across states, and I think this is a state’s issue.”

The Tenth Amendment does not overtly mention diversity. It reads: “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people,” which allows for public policy diversity, but does not prescribe it.

Ramaswamy said that he was “open to persuasion,” regarding his reading of the constitution, and explained other controversial stances in relation to sexual ethics.

“I’m pro-contraception, I’m pro-adoption, I’m pro-child care, I’m pro-more sexual responsibility for men,” he said, explaining what he meant when he said pro-lifers needed to “walk the walk.”

Ramaswamy is not the only presidential candidate to break with the pro-life movement, President Trump blamed pro-life arguments for the disappointing showing in the last midterms.

The issue was especially problematic with those pro-lifers who “firmly insisted on No Exceptions, even in the case of Rape, Incest or Life of the Mother, that lost large numbers of Voters,” he wrote in a Truth Social Post.
