Well, I had the wrong solstice. In the many times we’ve discussed today’s scenario on the podcast and in print, I predicted the Biden Justice Department would give Hunter a sweetheart plea deal right before Christmas, when Washington traditionally does its worst as people tune out the news.
Turns out it was just as summer was about to begin . . . when people are paying attention to the news, when the Biden Justice Department’s special counsel has just charged Donald Trump with 37 felony counts, and when Democrats are trying every way they can think of, without a scintilla of embarrassment, to rile up the Trump-friendly GOP base in hopes of getting Republicans to nominate Trump for the presidency.
In a friendly interview on MSNBC on Friday, [President Biden] made it clear to his subordinates at the Biden Justice Department that he has determined his son Hunter should not be charged with a crime. “My son has done nothing wrong,” said the president. “I trust him. I have faith in him, and it impacts my presidency by making me feel proud of him.”
This was blatant interference in the moribund investigation. The Justice Department and its assigned prosecutor, Delaware U.S. attorney David Weiss, have recently come under significant pressure due to whistleblower allegations from law-enforcement agents that there has been significant political interference in the probe and that the FBI has supposedly been sitting on evidence that implicates the president in a bribery scheme.
This has led to speculation that the scam I’ve been predicting for a couple of years is imminent: The Justice Department could soon give Hunter a sweetheart plea deal in which he would admit guilt to the undeniable — a minor tax charge or two, plus, perhaps, a false statement on a required federal firearms form, concealing his drug abuse. Swept under the rug would be the part of the investigation that really matters: The gross monetization of Joe Biden’s political influence and what foreign adversaries like China believed they were buying.
Yup.
Under Justice Department policy, even with a plea agreement, the government is supposed to seek a plea to the “most serious,” readily provable “offense that is consistent with the nature and full extent of the defendant’s conduct.” Hunter Biden committed tax offenses that could have been charged as evasion, which is punishable by up to five years’ imprisonment for each count. Furthermore, he made a false statement that enabled him to obtain a firearm; that’s a ten-year felony under legislation pushed through by then-senator Joe Biden to show how very serious Democrats are about gun crime.
Biden apologists have tried to minimize that transaction as a “lie and try” case, which they say is often not prosecuted. But such non-prosecution (though it shouldn’t happen) occurs because of what you’d infer from the “try” part — i.e., the liar got caught and failed to obtain the gun. Hunter’s case, to the contrary, is a lie and succeed case. He got the gun. What’s more, he was then seen playing with it while cavorting with an “escort” (see the New York Post’s pictorial, if you’ve got the stomach for it). Shortly afterwards, he and his then-paramour — Hallie Biden, the widow of his older brother — managed to lose the gun near a school (it was later found by someone else).
Those are the kinds of gun cases that get charged by the Justice Department even if the suspect hasn’t, in addition, committed tax felonies by dodging taxes on the millions of dollars he was paid, apparently for being named Biden. Yet after refusing for years to appoint a special counsel despite the five-alarm conflict of interest attendant to investigating the president’s son ( . . . and family . . . and the president himself), the Biden Justice Department is permitting Hunter Biden to dispose of the case with misdemeanor tax charges that will allow for a probation sentence, and diversion — essentially, no prosecution — on the gun felony that would result in imprisonment for most Americans who engaged in similar conduct.
Quite a deal.
Last week, Trump was flirting with 60 percent in GOP primary polling after being indicted, with a 45-point lead in some surveys. Democrats seem bound and determined to get him to 70.
“The recent dust-up between Barack Obama and Republican presidential hopeful Tim Scott might seem strange at first glance. Mr. Scott is polling in the low single digits and is more likely to be nominated for the vice presidency than the presidency. Why pick on Mr. Scott?
…Mr. Scott currently is in no danger of winning the GOP nomination for president, but so long as he’s running he will command a measure of attention in the media and remain a target of black liberals. The fear on the left is that millions of minority voters will be exposed to a different black opinion on everything from tax policy and immigration to education, policing and racial inequality. Democratic success at the polls is heavily reliant on blacks voting as a single bloc. The last thing Democrats want is someone who looks like Mr. Scott casting doubt on the efficacy of liberal policies and making the case for an alternative approach.”
“California Democrat Representative Adam Schiff was censured yesterday by his House colleagues for repeatedly spreading numerous falsehoods about former President Donald Trump regarding the whole Russia collusion hoax. Short of expulsion, censure is the highest form of reprimand for bad behavior in Congress.
…“By repeatedly telling these falsehoods,” the resolution reads, “Representative Schiff purposely deceived his Committee, Congress, and the American people.”
…As the vote concluded, several Democrat representatives shamelessly screamed “Shame! Shame! Shame!” McCarthy paused several times during their repeated interruptions. “I have all night,” he eventually deadpanned.
“You are the party of George Santos,” thundered Dan Goldman, who, like Santos, represents a district in New York. Santos has seemingly lied about, well, pretty much everything. But he has also been shunned by most Republicans, he holds no committee assignments, and his reelection prospects are dim. By contrast, Schiff has been promoted and celebrated by his party for his lies as the leading attack dog against the Bad Orange Man, and his constituents, who first elected him in 2000, keep sending him back for more. The two men as not even remotely the comparison Goldman thinks they are.
…Schiff bears more responsibility than most Democrats for the partisan rancor surrounding the 2016 and 2020 elections, and that’s saying something. His lies divided the nation…
Finally, permit us a little schadenfreude. Yesterday’s censure wasn’t the only stain on Schiff’s record. Durham also scored a hilarious point against him during his testimony.
First, a little setup. During the 2016 campaign, Donald Trump Jr. met with a Russian cohort in Trump Tower after being promised dirt on Hillary Clinton. It didn’t pan out because the Russians were actually there for another reason. Nevertheless, Schiff attempted to grandstand about that yesterday, and Durham set and sprung a brilliant trap. Here’s the exchange:
Schiff: “Donald Trump Jr. was informed that a Russian official was offering the Trump campaign ‘very high-level and sensitive information’ that would be incriminating of Hillary Clinton…”
Durham: “Sure, people get phone calls all the time from individuals who claim to have information like that.”
Schiff: “Really? The son of a presidential candidate gets calls all the time from a foreign government offering dirt on their opponent? Is that what you’re saying?”
Durham: “I don’t think this is unique in your experience.”
The Leftmedia won’t report why that was funny, but back in 2018, Schiff took a call from two Russians claiming to have “compromising materials” on Trump, including nude photos. It was a prank by two comedians, and Schiff fell for it hook, line, and sinker.”
And in what should shock no sentient citizen, Townhall.com‘s Katie Pavlich reports, despite having signed a bill back in March requiring his Administration to release it…
Moving on, here’s another sextet of special selections certain to pique the interest of inquiring Conservative minds:
(1). Can’t you just hear Biden telling himself, “If I move my hand slowly enough, no one will notice I put it over my heart DESPITE being told beforehand the Indian national anthem would be played first”:

(4). The man who’s never shown a shred of loyalty to those who served him claims loyalty means everything to him. Hey, hey, ho, ho, Donald Trump has GOT to go!
(5). The WaPo is reporting one Chris Gloninger, chief meteorologist at Des Moines news station KCCI, is departing the station and his career in weather reporting citing family health issues and post-traumatic stress he suffered after receiving threats in response to him repeatedly blaming weather events on climate change.
Which begs the question, if climate change is as imminent an existential threat to all life on the planet those like Gloninger claim it is, wouldn’t it be worth risking one’s life to fight it? And if sea levels were actually rising so dramatically, would the Obamas have spent tens of millions for beach front property on Oahu and Martha’s Vineyard?!?
“Cody Longo died in February from chronic drinking, according to the Travis County Medical Examiner’s Office in Austin, Texas. He was 34. The actor’s official cause of death was due to “chronic ethanol abuse.”
Longo, who was known for roles on “Days of Our Lives” and “Hollywood Heights,” was “found deceased in a state of decomposition in his secured residence approximately three weeks after he was last known alive,” the report obtained by Fox News Digital stated. The autopsy listed “numerous bottles of alcohol found at the scene,” which coincided with family members reporting a previous history of “significant alcohol consumption.” Postmortem toxicology testing also revealed the presence of “ethanol (alcohol) and acetone.”
Longo died Feb. 8 in Austin. He is survived by wife Stephanie and their three children: Lyla, 7; Elijah, 5; and Noah, 1. “Cody was our whole world,” Stephanie said in a statement at the time, shared by Longo’s rep, Alex Gittelson…”
While technically not a homicide, we’d hardly term a 34-year-old’s death from chronic alcoholism a “natural” demise. And at the risk of sounding harsh, if the departed were really the “whole world” to his widow and now ex-rep, would he really have lay dead for three weeks without either of them contacting him or requesting a welfare check?
