Watch as the Dem's pour money and effort into assisting Trump. They know Trump is Biden's best hope for re election and like all those house races where they funded mediocre Republicans (Meijer's ousting is the best example) who then went on to lose the race to Ds they will back Trump now.

Every time there is an investigation or indictment, Trump's polling numbers amongst Republicans goes up. Five criminal grand juries and two scheduled trials are going to be hard to beat over the next eighteen months.

Tara Reade defects to Russia, gives hours-long interview on state media


Tra Reade, a former staffer who accused Joe Biden of sexual assault, has defected to Russia and spoke to Russian state media in a press conference that lasted several hours.

Reade drew headlines during the 2020 presidential race, when she accused then candidate Biden of sexually harassing and assaulting her when she worked in his Senate office in 1993.

Biden has strongly denied Reade’s allegations, and no ex-Biden staffer has come forward to say they ever witnessed or heard about any kind of sexual misconduct in his Senate office.

In an interview with MSNBC in 2020, Biden said he is “saying unequivocally, it never, never happened. It didn’t. It never happened.”

Reade later faced credibility questions of her own including about her education and other credentials.

After being out of the headlines for years, Reade turned up in Moscow on Tuesday, where she sat alongside convicted Kremlin spy Maria Butina and answered questions from Russian state media.

Butina was sentenced to 18 months in an American prison in 2019 for conspiring to act as an unregistered foreign agent, and now serves in the Russian Parliament in President Vladimir Putin’s party.

like Durham need to investigate this too

Whistleblower disclosures allege FBI procedures not followed in Hunter Biden investigation, sources say

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/hunter-biden-investigation-whistleblower-disclosures-allege-fbi-procedures-not-followed-chuck-grassley-james-comer/#

The sources told CBS News the whistleblower disclosures raised concerns about the Hunter Biden investigation, with allegations including "irregular handling" of evidence and a claim that "standard investigatory procedures were not being followed," allegedly hindering the probe's progress.

More specifically, whistleblowers said that during the FBI investigation, derogatory evidence related to President Biden's son, Hunter Biden, was wrongly labeled as disinformation, when it could be or had already been verified. In some cases, they claimed derogatory evidence was placed in highly restricted systems that prevented other FBI investigators from reviewing it in the course of their related work.

Hunter Biden has been under investigation since 2018. All federal investigatory matters that pertain to him are being handled by U.S. Attorney Dan Weiss, a Trump appointee who remained on the job after Biden was sworn in.

Given that the Ds control 51 Senate seats they lost 5 of their own on this vote.

The U.S. Senate on Thursday approved a bill that would repeal President Joe Biden's student loan debt forgiveness plan. The breakdown of yeas and nays Thursday largely mirrored that of a day prior, when senators for the most part voted along party lines to proceed with a vote on the bill, underscoring their opposition to Biden's plan to forgive up to $20,000 of in student loan debt for tens of millions of borrowers. The plan to erase some borrowers' debt is already stalled because of two cases before the Supreme Court.

Joe will veto this but there would still be the two SCOTUS cases on student debt relief to come before the SCOTUS terms end this month.

A study by the National Bureau of Economic Research shows that the ppl that benefited from Biden's student moratorium racked up even more debt in that time.

"By the end of 2022 beneficiaries of the moratorium accumulated an additional $2,500 in student loan debt and an additional $2,000 in credit card, mortgage and car loan debt boosting total household indebtedness by 8%"

A very good read...

Why Chris Licht didn’t stand a chance

CNN had good journalistic intentions when they put Chris Licht in charge a little over a year ago. The idea was to transform the cable news channel from one with a predictably liberal bias and make it what it used to be when Ted Turner launched the channel in 1980: a place to go for down-the-middle, fact-based information.

It was an idea that didn’t stand a chance in today’s fractured media world. It was an idea that was bound to fail.

When Licht was fired yesterday, his boss, David Zaslav, who heads up Warner Bros. Discovery, CNN’s corporate parent, said Licht “poured his heart and soul into this job” but “for a number of reasons it didn’t work out.”

One of those reasons was that, under Licht, CNN’s ratings had hit all-time lows.

According to the New York Times, Zaslav said “he believes that CNN’s coverage veered too far into ‘advocacy’ journalism under his predecessor, Jeff Zucker. Mr. Licht has sought to include on-air perspectives from commentators and newsmakers across the political spectrum, including conservatives.”

Good idea, but that’s not what CNN viewers wanted. People tune into cable news to get precisely what Zaslav and Licht were trying to get away from — advocacy journalism.

Unless it’s a story about the first shots fired in a foreign war, or about terrorists attacking Americans on 9/11, viewers don’t tune in to get down-the-middle, straight news reporting. They tune in to get their own biases validated by famous people on TV.

They tune in to hear how right their side is and how wrong the other side is. Liberals want to hear how corrupt conservatives are and conservatives want to hear only the worst about liberals.

The whole idea behind the cable news business model is to give the customers what they want, to throw red meat at them and hope they come back for more. Catering to the tastes of your audience is how you succeed in cable news. CNN wanted to get back to old-school basic journalism. But that’s not what the CNN audience wanted.

And it wasn’t only ratings that had hit rock bottom. It was also in-house morale.

Licht had been criticized by CNN journalists for more than a few of his decisions. His new morning show, with Don Lemon at the helm, flopped. He fired several liberal correspondents. But nothing Licht did drew more criticism than his decision to have CNN host a town hall with former President Donald Trump, hosted by Kaitlan Collins.

CNN wanted more diversity of opinion on its shows. And as the New York Times pointed out, “A major test of that strategy came on the town hall on May 10, when Mr. Trump unleashed a torrent of falsehoods to a cheering and adoring crowd, including when he referred to the town hall’s moderator, Ms. Collins, as a ‘nasty woman.’”

The broadcast was widely criticized, inside and outside the network. How could CNN give a man like Donald Trump such a forum, critics demanded to know. Never mind that Trump — with all his faults — was leading the GOP field of presidential hopefuls. Never mind that he might be president again. None of that mattered. Some thought that CNN was trying to be more like Fox News than what they had come to expect — a reliably liberal news organization.

“Some on-air talent looked dazed after the town hall had wrapped up,” the Times reported, “and Christiane Amanpour, one of the network’s top hosts, took issue with the forum, saying she and Mr. Licht ‘respectfully disagree’ about allowing Mr. Trump to appear on a town hall in that format.”

While the event drew a big audience — 3.3 million viewers — CNN’s ratings dropped precipitously afterward. Just two days after the town hall, CNN ratings fell below Newsmax, a much smaller rightwing network.

But it was a critical 15,000-word profile of Licht in the Atlantic titled “Inside the Meltdown at CNN” that was the final blow. Speculation went viral: How long would Licht last? The answer: He was fired just a few days later.

We no longer live in the media world of Walter Cronkite, who was once voted the most trusted man in America. We live in hyper-partisan times, and cable news both reflects that American divide and exacerbates the divisions — for ratings and for advertising dollars.

And the “unindicted co-conspirator” in all of this? The viewers. They may scream and yell about bias in the news, but, when all is said and done, bias in the news is just what they want. That’s why, despite CNN’s good intentions a year ago, their experiment was bound to fail.

UBS: greedflation or corporate profit-led inflation wave is here

America’s latest inflation wave is all about corporations ‘using excuses’ and ‘cover’ to increase profits, says top UBS economist

https://fortune.com/2023/06/15/greedflation-economy-inflation-corporate-profits-ubs-paul-donovan/

Three ‘waves’ of inflation
Donovan said Thursday that the three distinct “inflation waves” that hit the economy over the past few years were all caused by “very different things.”

“The first wave, which was about consumer durable goods, that was demand-led,” pointing to the surge in demand caused by monetary and fiscal stimulus that came during pandemic lockdowns in the form of things like stimulus checks and near-zero interest rates.

And the second wave of inflation, which was caused by the energy shock that came from the war in Ukraine, is fading, too, the economist said. Natural gas and oil prices surged after Russia invaded Ukraine, owing to the country’s status as a major energy exporter, but have since dropped dramatically.

“The third wave of inflation, the one we’re getting now, is this unusual profit-led inflation story,” Donovan went on to explain. “This occurs where firms towards the end of the supply chain, so that’s consumer facing companies or near consumer facing companies, increase margins and pretend it’s all due to costs and other factors. They sneak in a margin increase.”

Will social media end greedflation?

“Profit-led inflation” is likely to blame for some of the inflation the U.S. economy has experienced over the past few years, according to Donovan, but the good news is “it doesn’t last forever.”

“At some point either governments or consumers realize that this is going on. And they say, ‘Hold on, that’s not fair’…That’s exactly the point that we’re starting to get to now,” he said, warning that companies that continue raising prices to boost margins will damage their brands’ reputation, because they will be seen to be “cheating or unfairly treating the consumer.”

read d whole thing nah

The gun charge states that Hunter Biden possessed a handgun, a Colt Cobra 38 special, despite knowing he was a drug user for 11 days in October 2018. The count carries a maximum sentence of up to 10 years in prison, but the Justice Department said Hunter Biden had reached a pretrial agreement on that charge. Full details were not immediately disclosed.


again, he get off real easy, not even a few months, thanks to his daddy's Justice Department.

Wesley Snipes got 3 years and served 2.5 for three misdemeanor counts of failing to file tax returns for the years 1999 - 2001


Wesley Snipes was looking at about 46 years. One of his co-conspirators received 20 years.

TAMPA, Fla. – An eight-count indictment was unsealed today charging Wesley Trent Snipes, formerly of Windermere, Fla., Eddie Ray Kahn, of Sorrento, Fla., and Douglas P. Rosile, of Venice, Fla., with conspiracy to defraud the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and presenting a fraudulent claim for payment to the IRS, Assistant Attorney General Eileen J. O’Connor of the Tax Division, U.S. Attorney Paul I. Perez of the Middle District of Florida, and Special Agent in Charge Michael E. Yasofsky, Jr. of the IRS Criminal Investigation today announced.

Snipes is also charged with six counts of failing to file income tax returns. Each of the conspiracy and false claim charges carry a maximum sentence of five years in prison. Snipes also faces up to one year in prison on each charge of failing to file income tax returns.

https://www.justice.gov/archive/tax/usa ... nipes.html


OCALA, Fla – U.S. District Judge Wm. Terrell Hodges today sentenced Wesley Trent Snipes to three years imprisonment for charges of failing to file income tax returns. Snipes was found guilty by a jury on February 1, 2008. Eddie Ray Kahn, of Sorrento, Florida, was sentenced to ten years’ imprisonment and Douglas P. Rosile, of Venice, Florida, was sentenced to four years and six months’ imprisonment.

The same jury found Kahn and Rosile guilty of conspiracy to defraud the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and presenting a fraudulent claim for payment to the IRS. Kahn was the founder and leader of American Rights Litigators (ARL), a tax protestor organization based in Lake County, Florida. Rosile prepared returns for ARL clients, such as Snipes.

“Snipes' long prison sentence should send a loud and crystal clear message to all tax defiers that if they engage in similar tax defier conduct, they face joining him and his co-defendants, Kahn and Rosile, as inmates in prison,” said Nathan J. Hochman, Assistant Attorney General of the Justice Department's Tax Division.

“The law is very clear: people must pay their taxes," said Internal Revenue Service Commissioner Douglas Shulman. "There is no secret formula that eliminates a person's tax obligations, nor are there any special exceptions. The majority of Americans pay their taxes timely and accurately. Those who willfully violate the law must be held accountable.”
