Hunter Biden Lost Third Laptop to Russian Drug Dealers

(Dmytro “Henry” Aleksandrov, Headline USA) Hunter Biden lost his third laptop that was seized by Russian drug dealers with whom Biden was partying, instead of the federal government as it happened in two previous cases.

According to Valiant News, the revelation comes from the sex video that Biden recorded. After finishing, he kept rolling, while talking to his sex partner.

Russians took the laptop during his Las Vegas excursion in which he “spent 18 days going round from penthouse suite to penthouse suite” costing tens of thousands. The laptop was taken away from Biden after he passed out in a hot tub.

“I wake up and the only people that are there are Miguel, the guy frantically running around gathering things up… and Pierce, this guy, his friend,” he said.

“They had kicked everybody out. And they had cleaned up the entire place. And they were getting ready to leave, and I woke up. And there was this Russian 35-year-old, really nice, pure brunette.”

Apparently, Biden was so drunk that people thought that he was overdosed. One of the women who attended the party even refused to leave and asked the Russian hosts to “call an ambulance.”

“They didn’t know whether I was alive or dead, not at first,” Biden recounted.

He realized that the men in the suite stole his laptop only sometime later.

“They have videos of me doing this. They have videos of me doing crazy f***ing sex,” Biden said.

When Biden was asked if he thinks that the Russian gangsters would blackmail him because they have his laptop, he confirmed that.

“In some way, yeah. My dad [inaudible] running for president. He is. I talk about it all the time,” he told the woman in a hushed voice.

‘If they do, he also knows I make like a gazillion dollars.’”

Trump and DeSantis to Hold Competing Events in Iowa

(Headline USA) The competition between Donald Trump and Ron DeSantis is intensifying as the former president is scheduling a return trip to Iowa on the same day that the Florida governor was already going to be in the state that will kick off the Republican contest for the White House.

A Trump campaign official said Saturday that the former president plans to be in Iowa on May 13 to headline an organizing rally at a sprawling park in downtown Des Moines. That’s when DeSantis was already slated to headline Iowa Rep. Randy Feenstra’s annual summer fundraiser in northwest Iowa and speak at a party fundraiser later that evening in Cedar Rapids.

The Trump campaign official, who requested anonymity to discuss the trip before it was announced, said the Des Moines organizing rally has been in the planning stage for weeks and is aimed at identifying caucus supporters and volunteers.

The move is a sign of the escalating competition between the two men who are the leading contenders for the Republican presidential nomination.

Trump and his allies have become increasingly emboldened in their efforts to attack DeSantis, who is expected to announce his White House bid sometime after the Florida Legislature wraps up its work in the coming week.

Trump’s trip is also notable for its emphasis on the type of ground-level organizing that is vital in Iowa politics and was often missing during his 2016 campaign, when Texas Sen. Ted Cruz overtook him and won the state’s GOP caucuses.

Trump has been almost singularly focused on swinging at DeSantis.

DeSantis, in the meantime, has largely ignored Trump’s jabs. However, a pro-DeSantis super political action committee, Never Back Down, began to respond in paid ads this month.

Meanwhile, the super PAC promoting DeSantis is hiring Iowa staff to begin organizing support for the governor before he enters the race.

The stakes for both men are particularly high in Iowa, where the caucuses in February offer opportunities for them to cement their status atop the GOP.

Biden’s Homophobic Attack on DeSantis Elicits Media Chuckles at WHCA Dinner

(Headline USA) President Joe Biden, appearing to be juiced up on Ritalin, delivered a semi-lucid but largely incoherent speech at the White House Correspondent’s Association Dinner that included a homophobic attack on Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. 

“After his reelection as governor he was asked if he had a mandate. He said, ‘hell no, I’m straight, I’m straight,’” Biden said, according to Mediaite.

“I’ll give you time to think that one through,” he ad-libbed as many awkwardly laughed at the joke, which seemed more an off-color pun than a dig at the Republican presidential contender’s policies.

While Biden’s jokes lacked the wry delivery of his predecessor, Barack Obama (Republican President Donald Trump notably boycotted the caustic and deeply biased WHCA after a leftist comedian used it to attack then-press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders) the jokes on Saturday were generally well-received by the audience.

Media now have been conditioned to total compliance with the regime, even submitting questions in advance for pre-approval.

The annual black-tie dinner drew a wide array of celebrities and media moguls to Washington, with parties being held across the capital. Among those in attendance were actor Liev Schreiber, singer John Legend and his wife, Chrissy Teigen, the model and television personality.

The Bidens also made a beeline for Brittney Griner, the baritone-voiced WNBA star and Olympic gold medalist who was detained in Russia for nearly 10 months last year before her release in a controversial prisoner swap that freed a notorious Russian arms dealer. Griner attended with her wife, Cherelle, as guests of CBS News.

“This time last year we were praying for you, Brittney,” Biden said to the basketball star.

Actor and former California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger opened the dinner with a pre-taped video about the importance of a free and independent press, calling reporters an “ally of the people.” Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris were seated on the stage along with comedian Roy Wood Jr., a correspondent for “The Daily Show,” who was the featured entertainer.

The occasion is a familiar and comfortable one for Biden, who attended several of the dinners as vice president to Obama. The Washington event returned last year after being sidelined by the pandemic in 2020 and 2021.

But this year, he came not only as the commander in chief but as a presidential contender.

He started his punchlines with House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, taking direct aim at a recent bill Republicans passed that would lift the debt ceiling in exchange for a series of budget cuts, including some of Biden’s key legislative achievements.

“The last time Republicans voted for something that hapless it took 15 tries,” Biden said, referring to the gruesome fight McCarthy endured to become speaker in January.

And he didn’t stop there, going after Fox Corp. Chairman Rupert Murdoch about his age. “And you call me old?” he told the crowd.

Biden made a couple of mildly self-deprecating jokes, mostly surrounding criticism of his age as he mounts a second bid for reelection. “I believe in the First Amendment and not just because my good friend Jimmy Madison wrote it,” he said to a roaring crowd.

Wood, who took the stage after Biden, also zeroed in on the president’s age.

“We should be inspired by the events in France. They rioted when the retirement age went up two years to 64,” Wood said. “Meanwhile in America, we have an 80-year-old man, begging us for four more years.”

‘Build the Wall’: Republicans, Dems Rip Biden Amid Title 42’s End

(Luis Cornelio, Headline USA) With Title 42 ending on May 11, Republican lawmakers are voicing alternatives on how the Biden administration can best solve the border crisis caused primarily by lax open border policies.

The Trump-era policy has been in place since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 and allows border patrol officials to expedite the removal of undocumented immigrants on grounds of a health emergency. Republicans say that lifting Title 42 would make the already crisis-ridden border worse.

The U.S. Senate has not been kind to President Biden’s open border policies in recent days. 

“Title 42 is coming to an end because Biden doesn’t think we need it,” Sen. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., wrote on an April 28 Tweet. “We need to keep Title 42 and make certain that we build the wall.” 

Support for Title 42 was echoed by Marsha’s colleague Sen. Bill Hagerty, R-Tenn.

“Drug overdose is the #1 killer of young Americans, yet the WH ignores the 70k overdose deaths annually due to fentanyl crossing our southern border,” Hagerty wrote on Twitter. “I’ve introduced the Stop Fentanyl Border Crossing Act to keep Title 42 in place & allow CBP to fight fentanyl trafficking.” 

Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, a vocal border security lawmaker, said “absolute chaos will ensure at the southern border” when Title 42 ends.

 

Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, R-Ariz., broke away from the Democratic Party to voice concerns about the dangers of lifting Title 42. 

“We led a hearing on the ongoing border and immigration crisis’s impact on Arizona border communities ahead of the administration’s ending of Title 42, which is expected to worsen the crisis,” the border-state Senator said in an April 27 tweet. 

Echoing Blackburn’s call to build a southern wall, Rep. Lance Gooden demanded that Biden stop wasting border materials.  

“The Biden Administration spends $130,000 a day to store unused border wall materials,” he said on a Tweet. “With Title 42 ending, let’s stop wasting tax dollars and start building the wall.” 

Rep. John Rutherford, R-Fla., called on Congress to address crime resulting from the lax border policies.  

“This week, DHS recorded 9,400 encounters at our border in a single day – a number which will only go up once Title 42 2ends next month,” Rutherford said in a tweet. “@POTUS must work with congress to address skyrocketing crime resulting from their open border policies before this crisis escalates further.” 

Rep. Vicente Gonzalez, D-Texas, who unseated former Rep. Mayra Flores in 2022, raised concerns last year over Biden’s attempt to abruptly end Title 42 but called for a comprehensive immigration process to expel violent criminals from the U.S.

President Biden attempted to end Title 42 through an order from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, but after receiving a lawsuit from GOP-led states, the administration opted to let the Trump-era policy expired on May 11.

Several conservative outlets, including the New York Post editorial board and the Washington Examiner have argued that the Biden’s border crisis is likely to worsen after the pandemic-era policy is halted.

Woke NYC DA Leaves Bronx Rotting with Worst Conviction Rates: Report

(Luis Cornelio, Headline USA) The Bronx, one of the five boroughs of New York City led by District Attorney Darcel Clark, has had the worst conviction and dismissal in almost all major crime categories in the past five years. 

According to a Saturday report by the New York Post, data from the Division of the Criminal Justice Services showed that the 61-year-old DA, a Democrat, declined to arrest suspects of attempted murder and sex assault crimes more than all New York City-based prosecutors over the last five years. She also refused to prosecute over 100 attempted murder crimes, over 170 rapes and 51 sex-abuse arrests of differing degrees during that time. 

“Clark has the ignominious distinction of being the prosecutor with the lowest conviction rate for first and second-degree murder arrests, as well as attempted murder, since 2018, according to state data on closed cases,” the Post reported. “Clark’s office has secured guilty verdicts in just 60% of murder arrests by law enforcement, compared to 62% in Brooklyn, 66% in both Queens and Staten Island, and 76% in Manhattan, according to the data.” 

Clark “was only able to secure convictions in 39% of attempted murder arrests since 2018 that have so far been closed, compared to 54% in Brooklyn, 61% in Manhattan and Queens, and 65% in Staten Island, the data,” the scathing reporting continued. 

“I’ve had a number of cases dismissed in Bronx County based on a confluence of events, none of which involved the merits of the case,” criminal defense lawyer Todd Spodek said in comments to the Post. “They were dismissed based on prosecutors being unable to file certificates of compliance on time, based on prosecutors having uncooperative witnesses.” 

The scathing report comes a day after New York Democrats reversed parts of their infamous 2019 criminal justice reforms after voters, upset at skyrocketing crimes, revolted against Democrats in the 2022 election. Cash bail reforms, touted by leftist Democrats as a historic change in 2019, was tighten up to allow judges to detain suspects on certain conditions.  

New York City crime also gained national attention after the Republican-led U.S. House Judiciary Committee held a field hearing to highlight the dangers of woke prosecutors. 

The field hearing, led by the House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, was announced after Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg charged former President Donald Trump with felony crimes over claims the former president falsified business records related to hush payments.

Bragg, a Soros-backed prosecutor, was accused of neglecting violent crime in Manhattan while prioritizing a political vendetta against Trump. In 2021, then-candidate for DA Bragg said charging Trump was the “number one issue.”

Earlier this month Rep. Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y., raised the alarm about the surge of violent crime in New York City.

“House Republicans will expose Far Left Democrats’ failed policies like failed bail reform creating a crime crisis across our great state,” Stefanik said in a Twitter post on April 16.

Clark was first elected Bronx District Attorney in 2016. She was re-elected in 2019 and is running for a third term in 2023.

Ohio Man Charged with Fraud for Voting Twice in 2020

(Luis Cornelio, Headline USA) An Ohio man was indicted on voter fraud charges after allegedly voting twice in two major national elections. 

Local prosecutors accuse James Dalton Saunders, a 57-year-old attorney, of double voting in Ohio and Florida in the 2020 presidential election and the 2022 midterm elections, local media reported. 

Saunders registered to vote both in Ohio and Florida and has reportedly donated over $3,000 to Republican PACs and candidates. 

Secretary of State Frank LaRose, R-Ohio, reportedly said that the Electronic Registration Information Center (ERIC), an embattled multi-state voting database system. Several Republican-governed states have opted out from using ERIC on claims that the system opens the door for exploitation and potential voter fraud. 

Far-left activists, however, now claim ERIC is needed because it flagged Saunders to election officials.  

“This is literally the perfect example of the sole purpose of ERIC, which is to find potential double registrations and potential double voters,” Ohio ACLU aide Collin Marozzi claimed, according to a local ABC affiliate. 

ERIC came under fire in 2022 over its compromising ties to leftist activists. According to a scathing report by The Federalist, far-left activist David Becker and Pew Charitable Trusts, who started the ERIC in 2012, secretly worked to drive voter turnout and gain leftist goals through the multi-state database.  

Becker, who left the company in 2016, remained connected to the group through the Center for Election Innovation and Research (CEIR). CEIR was one of the far-left entities that facilitated the funneling of Mark Zuckerberg’s “Zuck Bucks” in the 2020 presidential election. Zuck Bucks, as it has been widely reported, reportedly encouraged left-leaning counties to get out and vote.

In 2022, Louisiana became the first to withdraw from ERIC, citing “concerns raised by citizens, government watchdog organizations and media reports.” Florida, Missouri, West Virginia and Ohio followed suit in raising concerns of the leftist-tied group. 

Ohio pulled out from the group in March 2023. Secretary LaRose condemned Eric for ignoring Republican-led demands for reforms.  

“ERIC has chosen repeatedly to ignore demands to embrace reforms that would bolster confidence in its performance, encourage growth in its membership, and ensure not only its present stability but also its durability,” LaRose said. “Rather, you have chosen to double-down on poor strategic decisions, which have only resulted in the transformation of a previously bipartisan organization to one that appears to favor only the interests of one political party.”

A spokesperson to LaRose told local media that ERIC was filled with partisanship. “It was saddle-bagged by politics,” he said. “And as states continue to defect, the value to Ohio was dropping.”

It is unknown how ERIC flagged Saunders to Ohio officials. He is expected to be arrainged in May.

Biden Kicks Off 2024 Bid with Scathing Low Polls

(The Center Square) – President Joe Biden announced earlier this week that he is running for president, but the latest polling data shows he is much less popular than when he first took over the White House.

Gallup released the survey data, which put Biden’s approval rating at 37%, the lowest point since he became president.

“Only Ronald Reagan in early 1983 had a lower ninth-quarter average among elected post-World War II presidents,” Gallup said. “Reagan’s low ratings came during a period when the unemployment rate exceeded 10% after the 1981-1982 economic recession.”

For most of his tenure, Biden’s approval rating has hovered just about 40%.

“Jimmy Carter and Donald Trump had slightly better approval ratings than Biden and Reagan; both were just above 40%,” Gallup said. “Four presidents, including George H.W. Bush, Dwight Eisenhower, John Kennedy and George W. Bush, averaged better than 60% approval during their ninth quarters in office.”

Biden came into office with a 57% approval rating that has steadily dropped, seeing a particular downturn after the chaotic and deadly withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan.

Meanwhile, a recent Emerson College poll found that Biden may have a real Democratic contender. Incumbent presidents rarely have serious primary challengers from their own party, but Biden’s age, low polling, and looming scandals could fuel Robert Kennedy Jr., who is polling with about a fifth of Democratic voters’ support.

RFK Jr. is an author and environmental lawyer known for challenging the COVID-19 vaccines.

“The share of Democratic voters who think Biden should be the nominee has decreased six points since February, from 71% to 65%,” Emerson said.

Emerson has Biden’s approval rating slightly higher, at 41%, but the group said he is losing support from Independents.

“Driving Biden’s lower approval this month is independent voters, 37% of whom approved of the president in February, which has dropped to 30% this month,” said Spencer Kimball, executive director of Emerson College Polling.

It remains to be seen whether Biden’s announcement this week will rally donors and support from Democrats. Former President Trump, the current Republican 2024 frontrunner, wasted no time in attacking Biden this week as the two draw closer to a potential presidential campaign rematch.

“You could take the five worst presidents in American history, and put them together, and they would not have done the damage Joe Biden has done to our nation in just a few short years,” Trump said in his video response to Biden’s announcement on TruthSocial. “Not even close.”

Satanists Infest Boston

(Ezekiel Loseke, Headline USA) The largest gathering of Satanists in world history is taking place in Boston on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, according to The Christian Post.

The gathering is called “SatanCon” and will be held at the Boston Marriott Copley Place.

The gathering includes events such as:

  • “Deconstructing Your Religious Upbringing”
  • “Reclaiming the Trans Body: An A/theistic Strategies for Self-Determination and Empowerment”
  • “SoCC Satanism and the Bipoc Experience”
  • “Sins of the Flesh: Satanism and Self-Pleasure”
  • “Hellbillies: Visible Satanism in Rural America”

And other attacks on Christianity and the American way of life.

The gathering is also likely to be radically anti-life, as the Satanic Temple promotes abortions in a ritualistic form, has brought lawsuits against states trying to ban infanticide and argued that abortion is a religious ‘right.’

Frank Pavone, the national director of Priests for Life, told The Christian Post about a rhetorical trick the Satanists are fond of deploying.

“These Satanists who are gathering will claim that they do not worship the devil,” he said, explaining how Satanists mock the religious Right when it discusses their existence.

“In fact, they will claim that they do not even believe in a personal spiritual being called the Devil or Satan,” he continued. “Anything that even appears to be worship of the Devil or being elite with the Devil is dangerous stuff because the Devil is real.”

Pavone also explained that, whether they understand the connection or not, Satan worship is historically linked to the position of contemporary Satanists.

“Historically, child sacrifice is very much connected with Satanism and worship of demons,” he said.

A Christian group is holding another meeting in Boston on Friday, Saturday and Sunday called Revive Boston.

Satanism has made the news recently by frequently defending the radical Left’s social agenda.

  • The Satanic Temple opened an abortion clinic to enable ritualistic child sacrifice.
  • Satanists challenged the overturning of Roe v. Wade by claiming ritualistic sacrifice as a protected religious practice.
  • They sued pro-life states for opposing ritualistic child sacrifice.
  • Satanists demanded to fly a flag over Boston’s city hall.
  • They placed a display of a demon next to a Christmas nativity scene in Illinois.
  • In a Virginia public library, Satanists placed a display of Satanic quotes next to the Holy Bible.
  • A ‘family friendly’ and ‘Christmas themed’ drag show prominently featured a Satanic flag in the background.
  • A Satanic cult sued a Pennsylvania elementary school because they refused to allow an after school Satan club.
  • A Satanic club composed of elementary students met in California.
  • They joined drag queens to parade around a child’s event at an Idaho park.
  • The Satanic Temple held a mass “unbaptizing” event in Texas.
  • Biden’s Monkey-Pox Czar was an open Satanist.
  • A transgender porn creator who abused children is a Satanist.
  • Unhinged anti-life Satanist screamed profanities at pro-lifers at the Arizona State Capital.
  • A demonic statue was erected to memorialize Ruth Bader Ginsberg in New York.

Third Major American Bank Collapses

(Dmytro “Henry” Aleksandrov, Headline USA) First Republic Bank collapsed and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation [FDIC] will imminently place the bank under receivership, marking the third collapse of a medium-sized American bank in less than two months.

The Daily Wire reported that First Republic Bank which is headquartered in San Francisco, Calif., caters mainly to wealthy clients with account balances above the $250,000 deposit threshold backed by the FDIC.

In recent weeks, the company witnessed many customers withdraw their funds because said customers lost trust in the financial system after the recent implosions of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank. To decrease the risk of bank runs at other financial institutions, FDIC, officials had moved to secure both insured and uninsured deposits at the two failed companies.

According to the Daily Wire, the unstable position of First Republic Bank necessitates the imminent takeover of the company by the FDIC. The news source also added that the executives don’t have any time to pursue a bailout through a private deal.

On Friday, the bank shares plummeted more than 43%, reaching a low of $3.51 before markets closed. At the beginning of the year, the company’s stock was priced at $121.54, marking a 97% loss for investors over the past four months.

The deposits at the company had decreased from $176 billion on Dec. 31 to $104 billion on March 31, as was shown in the first quarter earnings report for First Republic Bank. The Daily Wire reported that the total amount of deposits reported at the end of last month included a $30 billion loan provided by other large banks, like Wells Fargo, JPMorgan Chase and Bank of America, a deal that the federal government enabled to maintain the solvency of First Republic Bank.

“With the stabilization of our deposit base and the strength of our credit quality and capital position, we continue to take steps to strengthen our business,” First Republic Bank Chairman Jim Herbert and First Republic Bank CEO Mike Roffler said.

“We remain fully committed to serving our communities, and we are grateful for the ongoing support of our clients and colleagues.”

Bud Light Will Spend ‘Heavily’ on Marketing to Cover Up Recent ‘Trans’ Scandal

(Dmytro “Henry” Aleksandrov, Headline USA) Bud Light plans to spend a lot of money on a major marketing campaign, hoping that it will save the company after its sales tanked in response to a partnership with a so-called “transgender” influencer Dylan Mulvaney.

According to the Post Millennial, Benj Steinman, editor of Beer Marketer’s Insights, said that on Monday Anheuser-Busch executives told U.S. beer distributors at a closed-door meeting in Washington, D.C., that they will “spend heavily on the brand after spending fell off a cliff last year.”

He also added that the new marketing blitz will begin this week, as an attempt of a beer giant to reverse the damage from the ill-advised Mulvaney campaign which tanked Bud Light sales by 17% the week ending Apr. 15.

On Wednesday, Steinman wrote in a report to clients that Anheuser-Busch “did promise to spend lotsa dough on Bud Light [marketing] this spring and summer, starting with a big push this week for the NFL draft.”

A Northeast-based distributor also said that, in a series of private Zoom meetings, Bud Light pledged to US beer distributors that this month, “…there will be an improved screening process before any marketing hits the public,” and that “executives will have to go through a more rigorous screening process.”

Steinman added that the meeting “wasn’t that productive and the distributors were hoping for more concrete plans” on how to stop the backlash against Bud Light because they “want to put this behind them.”

A lot of Anheuser-Busch’s 400 distributors left the meeting frustrated. According to a report from the industry newsletter Beer Business Daily, the reason why that happened was because Anheuser-Busch never apologized for “what they’ve gone through and the lost business they’ve had to deal with.”

“Wholesalers have long felt that Anheuser-Busch was too focused on innovation and not enough on their bread-and-butter brands,” Steinmann said.
