Marjorie Taylor Greene Reveals Identity of Biden’s Mysterious $10M Benefactor

(Jacob Bruns, Headline USA)The mysterious $10 million source redacted from an FBI report on the Biden family’s foreign business deals was revealed as none other than Burisma founder Mykola Zlochevsky, the Daily Caller reported.

Hunter Biden reportedly attempted to use his connections in the U.S. government to assist Zlochevsky with a U.S. visa shortly after he became a board member of the Ukrainian energy firm in 2014, during the Obama administration.

The attempt took place while the notoriously corrupt oligarch was under investigation by Ukrainian authorities—a probe that would later go dormant due to coercion from then-Vice President Joe Biden, who threatened to withhold a billion-dollar loan if the prosecutor was not fired.

But the Bidens did not work for free. In addition to Hunter’s generous “consulting” fee as a Burisma board member, Zlochevsky allegedly bribed the Bidens $10 million in order to secure U.S. residency, according to Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga.

With the aid of her fellow House Oversight Committee members, Greene reviewed the heavily-redacted version of an FBI FD-1023 form, in which an informant detailed Zlochevsky’s massive bribe.

FBI Director Christopher Wray reportedly redacted Zlochevsky’s name, but other clues within the sentence revealed that it was a top-level Burisma official.

“Within the same sentence, it says ‘him/ Burisma’,” Greene noted.

She further suggested that the identity of the “donor” was no mystery to anyone with any knowledge of the Biden–Burisma connections.

“If you’re anyone who is familiar with the whole Burisma story and the information on the laptop, it’s easy to make the connection of who it is,” she said. “It’s like a no-brainer … No one has refuted that it’s not him.”

Right-wing media personality Charlie Kirk wrote a Tweet relaying Greene’s findings in greater detail:

“We know that Zlochesvsky was already paying Hunter an exorbitant sum, $83,000/mo, to sit on the board of his Ukrainian energy company,” Kirk wrote, adding that “Zlochevsky was a rich, corrupt foreign oligarch who needed the type of help only connected, corrupt DC cronyism could deliver.”

According to Kirk, all of the evidence leads to an unavoidable conclusion: “Joe and James and Hunter were willing to sell out American interests to keep the Ukrainian money flowing. And now hundreds of billions of your taxpayer money is flowing back to Ukraine. Get it, now?”

Biden’s Drug Den: Secret Service Also Found Weed in White House

Biden’s Drug Den: Secret Service Also Found Weed in White House

(Luis Cornelio, Headline USA) The Secret Service disclosed on Thursday that they had found marijuana within the Biden White House on two separate occasions in 2022, delivering a controversial twist to the already scandal-filled Biden administration. 

This disclosure follows the Secret Service’s failure to identify the individual responsible for bringing cocaine into the West Wing over the July 4 weekend.

The Secret Service confirmed the previous discoveries in a classified briefing to members of Congress, leaving many angry at the lack of accountability by the Biden administration.

“No one was arrested in these incidents, because the weight of the marijuana confiscated did not meet the legal threshold for federal charges or D.C. misdemeanor criminal charges, as the District of Columbia had decriminalized possession,” a spokesperson for the Secret Service admitted in statements to Fox News.

“The marijuana was collected by officers and destroyed,” the spokesperson later claimed, noting that the marihuana found amounted to “less than 0.2 ounces.”

According to Fox, possession of marijuana is partially legal In the District of Columbia. Cocaine, on the other hand, remains illegal.

This led several lawmakers to call on federal authorities to investigate the individual responsible for the cocaine found near the entrance frequently used by the vice president.

However, GOP lawmakers announced that the Secret Service would not be focusing on this investigation, which drew anger from prominent conservative leaders.

Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., responded to the news by calling the White House “a joke.” He stated, “High schools can figure out when kids bring marijuana, but the White House can’t figure out who brought a bag of cocaine? What a joke.”

Conservative podcast host Ben Shapiro took to Twitter to criticize the Secret Service, saying, “We are now being asked to believe that the most secure building on the planet has no surveillance necessary to effectuate the identification of the person who left cocaine there. Suuuuuuuuuuure.”

Political commentator and attorney DC Draino echoed Shapiro’s comments, suggesting that the announcement implied the cocaine belonged to President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden.

Karine Jean-Pierre, the White House press secretary, had refused to answer questions on the cocaine scandal, delegating all inquiries to the Secret Service. She came under fire for falsely stating that the Biden family was not in the White House around the time the illegal drugs were found.

RFK Jr. to Testify Before Congress on Gov’t Censorship

(Headline USA) Democrat presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is schedule to testify before Congress next week on government censorship.

Kennedy will provide testimony before the House Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government, which is chaired by Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, on July 20.

A description of the hearing says it will “examine the federal government’s role in censoring Americans, the Missouri v. Biden case, and Big Tech’s collusion with out-of-control government agencies to silence speech.”

Kennedy has been outspoken about the government’s efforts to squash his free speech, especially during the pandemic when he began to speak out against COVID-19 vaccines.

The “Twitter Files” revealed that the former digital director of the White House’s COVID-19 Response Team emailed Twitter in January 2021 to request the removal of a Twitter post from Kennedy.

“Wanted to flag the below tweet and am wondering if we can get moving on the process for having it removed ASAP,” Clarke Humphrey wrote to Twitter in the January 2021 email. “And then if we can keep an eye out for tweets that fall in this same ~genre that would be great.”

The tweet that Humphrey wanted removed included a link to an article about the death of former professional baseball player Hank Aaron 18 days after he received his COVID vaccine. Kennedy Jr. tweeted that Aaron’s “tragic death is part of a wave of suspicious deaths among elderly closely following administration of #COVID #vaccines.”

The White House’s censorship request was referenced in a court ruling last week barring the federal government from coordinating with social media companies to suppress citizens’ free speech.

Kennedy celebrated the decision, accusing the Biden administration of engaging in “blatant censorship.”

“The judge got it exactly right when he wrote, ‘Freedom of speech and press is the indispensable condition of nearly every other form of freedom,’” Kennedy said. “Without freedom of speech, there is no democracy.”

RINO Presidential Candidate Asa Hutchinson Draws Just 6 Voters at Iowa Campaign Stop

(Headline USA) Former Arkansas Republican Gov. Asa Hutchinson, who recently launched a presidential bid, appeared to attract just six supporters at a recent campaign event in Iowa. 

Hutchinson has traveled to several battleground states since launching his campaign in April, but there seems to be little, if any, appetite for Hutchinson’s candidacy.

Photographs of an event Hutchinson held in Nevada, Iowa, show a largely empty room.

“Thanks to Governor @AsaHutchinson for visiting Nevada and answering questions from voters today!” Barker wrote on Twitter. 

Conservatives were quick to mock Hutchinson, who flaked on a number of important GOP priorities while in office.

“ASA FEVER IS SPREADING!!!” radio host Larry O’Connor quipped.

Another social media user said, “There’s more empty chairs than attendees.”

Hutchinson, however, attempted to write off the poor showing. In a tweet posted after the Iowa event, Hutchinson posted a picture of a larger event in South Carolina and claimed the “enthusiasm was contagious.”

A week later, he posted another picture of himself in front of a large crowd at an Education Commission of the States event.

Hutchinson is vying for a spot on the Aug. 23 debate stage. To be eligible, candidates must have 40,000 unique donors and at least 200 donors from 20 different states to qualify and receive 1% in three national qualifying polls. The former governor has only over 5,000 donors, according to the Associated Press. And the RealClearPolitics national polling average for Hutchinson is 0.8%.

The former governor has billed his campaign as a middle-of-the-road option for those dissatisfied with former President Donald Trump’s leadership in the GOP and wary of the Democrat Party.

“I believe that I am the right time for America, the right candidate for our country and its future,” he said in his campaign announcement. “I’m convinced that people want leaders that appeal to the best of America and not simply appeal to our worst instincts.”

MSNBC’s Mika Brzezinski Blames White House Staff for Biden Gaffes, Falls

(Headline USA) MSNBC’s Mika Brzezinski claimed on Wednesday that President Joe Biden’s staff are to blame for the octogenarian’s frequent gaffes and physical blunders.

Referring to embarrassing comments Biden made during the NATO summit this week, including one where he referred to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy as “Vladimir,” Morning Joe co-host Joe Scarborough questioned why his staff aren’t more involved with Biden’s schedule. Former President Ronald Reagan, for example, had staffers who “managed his schedule very carefully,” Scarborough argued.

“Yeah, I think his staff needs to own his age,” Brzezinski replied. “I’m just gonna be honest, I don’t think they do a good job helping out the president … Yes, he’s 80 — you need to be there for him. And you need to make a pathway, and you sure as hell better make sure he doesn’t fall on a sandbag. And I blame the staff for that.”

Staffers’ inability to properly care for Biden could result in “things that are gonna hurt him,” both physically and electorally, Brzezinski added.

“These are things that are gonna be played on a loop, OK? Let him do his job, let him do his speeches, let him work on policy, let him do his connections in Congress,” she said.

Democrats “can’t have these video images of the president tripping, or the president, like, going the wrong way,” she said. 

On Thursday afternoon, Biden was seen stumbling up the stairs of Air Force One as he prepared to depart the NATO summit. Video shows Biden tripping on one of the steps before catching himself at the top of the stairs and turning around and waving.

The trip comes even after Biden was relegated to using Air Force One’s shorter, lower-level staircase instead of its traditional cabin entrance. The switch to the shorter staircase seems to have occurred right after his public tumble at the Air Force Academy’s graduation in the beginning of June.

Biden Admin. Accused of Weaponizing ANOTHER Federal Agency

(Luis Cornelio, Headline USA) In a Thursday hearing at the House Judiciary Committee, Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, made explosive allegations, accusing the Biden administration of weaponizing yet another federal agency.

The focus of Jordan’s criticism was directed at Lina Khan, the far-left chair of the Federal Trade Commission, whom he accused of targeted harassment and manipulation against Twitter.

During the hearing, Jordan cited the example of the FTC’s actions towards Twitter, which he alleged stemmed from pressure from Democrat senators and left-wing activist groups. The committee chairman highlighted over 350 requests for information issued by the FTC to Twitter, including communications pertaining to the Twitter Files.

“These revelations paint a disturbing picture of the weaponization of the FTC under Chair Khan,” Jordan stated. “The agency’s actions demonstrate a blatant disregard for fair and impartial investigation, with a clear intent to punish and stifle dissenting voices.” 

Elon Musk took to Twitter to react to the news. He said, “Insanely illegal overreach by FTC.” Later in the hearing, Jordan pressed Khan to answer questions on her targeting of Twitter. “Why are you harassing Twitter,” Jordan asked a seemingly defiant Khan.

“Twitter’s lax privacy policies allowed unauthorized users to co-opt Twitter accounts, including that of Fox News,” Khan answered. 

Following Jordan’s remarks, several other members of Congress joined the chorus of criticism, torching Khan’s alleged weaponization of the FTC. Rep. Andy Biggs, R- Ariz., shared his questioning of Khan via Twitter. “[Lina Khan] was unable to identify a single law as the basis for the FTC’s woke antitrust policies,” he said. “The wokeness has to end.”

This would not mark the first time Khan came under scrutiny from Republican leaders. According to Center Square, both the Judiciary and the Energy and Commerce Committee launched investigations into the FTC’s alleged false statements to Congress. Jordan and Energy Committee Chairwoman Cathy McMorris Rodgers, R-Wash., accused Khan of going against advice and choosing to review a merger from Meta despite potential political bias. 

Rep. Jim Jordan: FBI Spied on Congressional Russia-Gate Investigators

Rep. Jim Jordan: FBI Spied on Congressional Russia-Gate Investigators

(Ken Silva, Headline USA) The House Judiciary Committee is scrutinizing the FBI for allegedly spying on two congressional staffers who were investigating the causes of Russia-Gate.

The committee’s investigation stems from the FBI issuing subpoenas to Google in 2017, seeking email records of the two congressional staffers. The subpoenas were only recently discovered because of Google’s policy of alerting customers five years after law enforcement takes such action.

Judiciary Committee Chair Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, informed FBI Director Chris Wray of his committee’s investigation in a letter Thursday, asking Wray to provide him with all documents related to the FBI issuing subpoenas for the congressional staffers’ email records in 2017.

“The timing of these subpoenas raise questions about whether the subpoenas were in retaliation for [congressional] oversight of the FBI,” Jordan said in the letter.

One of the staffers who had his emails subpoenaed was Kash Patel, who at the time was chief investigator on then-House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes’s team, according to Just the News.

The other congressional staffer has yet to be identified.

Those two staffers were not the only people subjected to surveillance during their years-long probe into the Russia collusion hoax.

In fact, the U.S. government may have spied on Nunes himself. Headline USA came to this conclusion in May, after former Fox News host Tucker Carlson told former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard that the “head” of the House Intelligence Committee once told him that the National Security Agency was reading the congressman’s texts.

“He had been drinking and said, ‘We have to talk about this.’ I said, ‘I’ll text you,’ and he said, ‘I can’t text … because the NSA reads my texts,’” Carlson told Gabbard.

“I said, ‘You’re the head guy of the intel oversight committee. You’re their boss. He said, ‘Yeah, well they’re still spying on me.’”

Carlson did not identify the specific member he was talking to, but the list of House Intelligence Committee chairs over the last decade is not long: Rep. Mike Turner, R-Ohio (2023-present); Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., (2019-2023); Nunes (2015-2019); and former Rep. Michael Rogers, R-Mich. (2011-2015).

Headline USA contacted each of these officials. All of them but Nunes denied speaking to Carlson about the NSA.

Biden DOJ Scrubs Child Trafficking Info from Its Website

Biden DOJ Scrubs Child Trafficking Info from Its Website

(Dmytro “Henry” Aleksandrov, Headline USA) The Department of Justice quietly removed important portions of its page on child sex trafficking, which critics claimed served only to expose the true intentions of the Biden regime.

Among the information that was removed were the sections on “International Sex Trafficking of Minors,” “Domestic Sex Trafficking of Minors” and “Child Victims of Prostitution,” the Washington Examiner reported.

Even though the reason why revisions happened is not clear, conservatives said that the removal of the important information is a sign of the Biden administration not taking crimes surrounding child exploitation seriously.

“For some reason, people on the Left get really uncomfortable and defensive talking about child sexual exploitation,” Heritage Foundation Vice President of Domestic Policy Roger Severino said, calling the move typical of Democrat administrations.

“Republican administrations direct more resources to child- and human sex trafficking, and then Democratic administrations pull that back. They treat it almost as a distraction from some things they consider to be more important.”

Another section that was thrown down the “memory hole” by the DOJ after May 12 was about domestic trafficking.

“Pimps and traffickers sexually exploit children through street prostitution, and in adult night clubs, illegal brothels, sex parties, motel rooms, hotel rooms and other locations throughout the United States,” the deleted section stated.

Severino added that before the information was removed from the website, it “clearly had to go through several layers of review.”

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, R-Fla., tied the removal of the information to the Department of Health and Human Services losing track of 85,000 children who immigrated to the United States illegally and were released from government custody, including some who were forced into child labor.

“DOJ’s blatant move to distance Joe Biden’s harmful policies from the global crime of sex trafficking should be no surprise to any of us who have seen the blatant sexualization and abuse of children this administration is comfortable with promoting,” Luna said.

She then added that, amid the immigration crisis at the southern border, some information removed included cross-border trafficking that “implicated the Biden administration’s open-border policies in correlation to the sex trafficking of children.”

Zack Smith, Heritage Foundation legal fellow, said that Biden’s border policies create the “perfect conditions to allow human trafficking to flourish, to allow sex trafficking, child exploitation to flourish.”

“Many of these progressive prosecutors say it’s a victimless crime, so-called quality of life crimes,” he stated.

“Policies that the Biden administration are pushing from a criminal justice perspective under the guise of supposedly reforming the criminal justice system are actually creating the conditions again for all kinds of human suffering, including human trafficking.”

Calif. Dems Shamed into Reversal on Child Trafficking Bill

Calif. Dems Shamed into Reversal on Child Trafficking Bill

(Headline USA) California Democrats were shamed into backtracking their opposition to legislation that would increase penalties for child traffickers.

Public pressure and social media disgust at the leftist attempt to go soft on child traffickers was so intense that it gave Republicans a rare win in the Democrat-run state legislature.

The bill by Republican state Sen. Shannon Grove would add child trafficking to a list of serious felonies in California. Anyone convicted of at least three serious felonies faces a prison sentence of between 25 years to life in prison under the state’s three strikes law.

The Democrats who control the Assembly Public Safety Committee decided not to advance the bill earlier this week. They opposed the bill in part because they oppose longer prison sentences, which they do not see as an effective deterrent of crime. They also worried the bill could inadvertently punish child trafficking victims with lengthy prison sentences.

Thursday, lawmakers allowed the Public Safety Committee to meet again. In a brief meeting, four Democrats — including chair Reggie Jones-Sawyer — joined Republicans to advance the bill out of the committee ahead of a legislative deadline.

The bill now must be vetted by the Assembly Appropriations Committee, where Jones-Sawyer said he will ask for amendments to make sure victims of child trafficking are not penalized and that the legislation doesn’t disproportionately affect people of color.

“We shouldn’t be playing politics. We should be coming together — together — to move this forward so that everybody is safe,” Jones-Sawyer told reporters after the hearing and the public backlash. “I’m going to make a commitment to do everything in my power to get it on the governor’s desk so he can sign it.”

Republicans cheered the bill’s revival, with Grove calling it “a day for Californians to celebrate.” But she said she would not change the bill, especially since Democrat Gov. Gavin Newsom indicated his support for it and the state Senate already voted unanimously to pass it.

“There’s no reason to take amendments. It’s a very narrowly tailored bill addressing human trafficking of a minor child — selling a child for sex.” Grove said. “It needs to be passed as is.”

Grove said she had already made changes to the bill to address those concerns sought by the amendments.

“We don’t want anyone who’s a victim of a violent crime like human trafficking to be charged or put in prison for that,” she said. “That is not my intent. that is not what the bill says.”

Michigan City’s Woke Brigade Investigates Salon Owner’s Trans Business Decision

Michigan City’s Woke Brigade Investigates Salon Owner’s Trans Business Decision

(Headline USA) Despite the Supreme Court ruling that a Christian graphic artist couldn’t be forced by state powers to design same-sex marriage websites, radical leftists in Michigan have launched an investigation of a hair salon owner who posted on social media that she felt uncomfortable servicing clients who demanded to be identified as transgender and would refer their business to another salon.

Christine Geiger’s online posts have drawn criticism from the mayor of Traverse City, Mich., and other officials, who said they were looking into whether she was violating a municipal anti-discrimination ordinance.

Similar to intolerant radical leftists who terrorized 303 Creative LLC owner Lorie Smith, who won her Supreme Court case claiming Colorado’s anti-discrimination rules violated her religious beliefs, demonstrators chanted and carried signs Wednesday outside the Traverse City, Mich., business, Studio 8 Hair Lab — Education & Beauty Supply.

In an Associated Press interview, Geiger stood by her posts and said small business owners should be free to serve whomever they wish.

“I just don’t want the woke dollar. … I’d rather not be as busy than to have to do services that I don’t agree with.”

A post last weekend on the salon’s Facebook page, which is no longer available, read, “If a human identifies as anything other than a man/woman please seek services at a local pet groomer. You are not welcome at this salon. Period. Should you request to have a particular pronoun used please note we may simply refer to you as ‘hey you.’”

In another post regarding whether her establishment was “LGBTQ+ friendly,” Geiger wrote, “LGB are more than welcome however the rest of it is not something I support.”

Geiger told the AP her statements weren’t prompted by the U.S. Supreme Court’s 303 Creative ruling, although she agreed with the decision.

Geiger, 48, said she was motivated primarily by personal experiences and objection to schools and doctor’s offices informing children about gender identification matters.

She said she had been a licensed hairstylist since 2006 and never knowingly had rejected a transgender person’s request for service. Her salon does not take walk-in clients. Her customers are mostly acquaintances and people whom they refer.

“I’ve had a big outpouring of support from my existing clients,” she said, but she’s also been flooded with angry messages, some making threats.

Jack Winn, CEO of a Texas-based hair products company whose merchandise Geiger has used and promoted in her salon, said Thursday he disapproved of her comments and had severed ties with her after receiving more than 1,600 emailed complaints.

State Rep. Betsy Coffia, a Democrat from Traverse City, said Geiger’s comments reflected “breathtaking hate and bigotry.”

City attorney Lauren Trible-Laucht said she would investigate complaints against the salon “based on the relevant legal standards,” including Supreme Court rulings and Traverse City’s 2010 ordinance barring discrimination on numerous grounds, such as sexual orientation and gender identity.

“We are disheartened to hear of any discriminatory behavior in our region,” Mayor Richard Lewis said. “The City of Traverse City has valued itself on providing a safe environment for all people.”
