LOS ANGELES (AP) — Jury selection is set to begin Thursday in Hunter Biden’s federal tax trial just months after the president’s son was convicted of gun charges in a separate case. The case in Los Angeles federal court accuses Hunter Biden of a four-year scheme to avoid paying at least $1.4 million in taxes while pulling in millions of dollars from foreign business entities. He is already facing potential prison time after a Delaware jury convicted him in June of lying on a 2018 federal form to purchase a gun that he possessed for 11 days. Hunter Biden pleaded not guilty to the charges related to his 2016 through 2019 taxes and his attorneys have indicated they will argue he didn’t act “willfully,” or with the intention to break the law, in part because of his well-documented struggles with alcohol and drug addiction. The indictment alleges that Hunter Biden lived lavishly while flouting the tax law, spending his cash on things like strippers and luxury hotels — “in short, everything but his taxes.” Hunter Biden’s attorneys had asked Scarsi to also limit prosecutors from highlighting details of his expenses that they say amount to a “character assassination,” including payments made to strippers or pornographic websites. The judge has said in court papers that he will maintain “strict control” over the presentation of potentially salacious evidence. Meanwhile, prosecutors could present more details of Hunter Biden’s overseas dealings... Sentencing in Hunter Biden’s Delaware conviction is set for Nov. 13. He could face up to 25 years in prison, but as a first-time offender, he is likely to get far less time or avoid prison entirely. Just another distraction. Pardon incoming…. Hunter Biden shocked the California courtroom on Thursday as he officially entered a guilty plea as a jury selection was underway for his federal tax evasion trial. Earlier it was reported that Hunter Biden was going to change his plea to guilty to avoid a trial. The indictment details a “four-year scheme” to avoid the $1.4+ million tax obligations he owed between 2016 and 2019 and to file false returns. Federal prosecutors fought back and Hunter Biden ended up entering a standard guilty plea. With the guilty plea — which was not part of a plea bargain and which came as a shock to prosecutors — Biden could face up to 17 years behind bars, he same penalty he would have faced if convicted at trial. Hunter also knows his father **or Kamala Harris if she is installed** will issue a pardon. https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/09/just-prosecutors-fight-back-after-hunter-biden-shocks/ The Socialist International, the worldwide organization of social democratic, socialist, and labor parties, has publicly expressed its support for Kamala Harris’s candidacy in the upcoming U.S. presidential election on November 5th. This is another step in recognizing Kamala as an extreme left-wing leader. In its official statement, the organization declared: President Donald Trump visited North Carolina on Friday to speak before the National Fraternal Order of Police. The organization boasts more than 377,000 members across the nation. Trump received a standing ovation after receiving the organization’s enthusiastic endorsement. In an announcement on X, the organization shared, “Our presidential endorsement process is thorough and inclusive, involving over 377,000 members across the nation.” These two news feeds show who want order and who wants chaos. If you think Joe Biden has spent a lot of his presidency taking time off, you’re right, but it’s worse than you probably even realize. It turns out Joe Biden has taken the equivalent of almost 50 years of vacations in his 3.5 years as president. Remember how Democrats and the media would lose their minds whenever Donald Trump played golf? Where are they now? This is just another reminder that Joe Biden was too old to become president years ago. The man is living like a retired person while holding the most important office in the country. Americans continue to deprive themselves of vacations, taking an average of 11 days a year, even fewer than the famous workaholics in Japan. Biden has spent 532 days on vacation in less than four years, according to RNC Research. Using Expedia’s average of time off Americans take, Biden’s tally is the equivalent of over 48 years of vacations — 48.3 years, to be exact. This is why so many people don’t take Biden seriously. He doesn’t even seem to be in charge. https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/09/analysis-joe-biden-has-taken-equivalent-almost-50/ House Investigates Tim Walz’s China Connections shows that Congress is investigating whether the ties of Democratic Vice Presidential candidate Tim Watz to China pose a National Security Risk to the US. Walz speaks some Mandarin and was among the first government-sanctioned American educators to teach in China. Tim Walz taught at China’s state-run Macau Polytechnic University until at least 2007. Newsweek reports that in 1994, Walz’s set up Educational Travel Adventures, Inc., which organized annual student trips to China until 2003 — leading student tours of China 30 times. Watz got married on the anniversary of the Tiananmen Square Massacre because he wanted his anniversary to be on a date he would remember! He honeymooned in China. Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz’s ties to China are “extremely disturbing,” China analyst and author Gordon Chang told Newsmax on Wednesday. “In addition to the material in Representative Comey’s letter, which is really damning, yesterday, The Daily Caller actually posted an investigation of Gov. Walsh’s connections with United Front Work Department organizations in Minnesota,” Chang told “American Agenda.” “These were front organizations. Now, the United Front Work Department is a part of the Communist Party that subverts foreign governments. So, any connection with them, especially connections over a long period of time, as we see in the Walz case, are extremely disturbing.” The Daily Caller on Tuesday reported that Walz, the Democrat vice presidential nominee, “has a long history of attending events organized by members of a nonprofit with connections to a Chinese Communist Party [CCP] influence and intelligence agency.” The report follows an investigation launched Aug. 16 by Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., chair of the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability, into Walz’s ties to China. https://www.activistpost.com/2024/09/does-tim-walzs-relationship-with-china-jeopardize-us.html The fake news outlets are in full swing, desperately attempting to debunk yet another shocking but truthful statement made by President Trump. During a recent debate, Trump said, “They’re eating the dogs, the people that came in, they’re eating the cats. They’re eating the pets of the people that live there, and this is what’s happening in our country, and it’s a shame.” This comment was immediately met with the standard response from the left-wing media machine: denial, deflection, and outright dismissal of the facts. But despite the orchestrated efforts to brush this story under the rug, evidence is mounting that the practice of consuming pets among Haitian migrants is not some far-fetched, xenophobic fantasy. In fact, it’s a reality that even a Haitian publication, Haitian Report, has confirmed. The Haitian Report itself acknowledges the tradition of eating cat meat in Haiti. Contrary to the liberal media’s narrative, this is not some wild conspiracy theory. The publication explains that some Haitians—especially those from the countryside—consider cat meat a delicacy, consumed during specific festivities like “Reveillon” on December 24th. The word “reveillon” is a French term that means “to wake up” and refers to a large meal and party that takes place in Haiti on Christmas Eve. Look… having a Reveyon without a cat is just like celebrating Thanksgiving without a turkey. Unless you are a vegetarian, some just have to have it. Why? Well, again, it’s an old tradition.” The author even explained that “meat is meat” and that in Haiti, cats are not viewed in the same light as they are in North America or Europe, where they are often considered beloved family pets. According to the author, in Haiti, the practice of eating cat meat persists for several reasons deeply rooted in the country’s cultural norms. Vice President Kamala Harris issued a slew of false claims and hoaxes that ABC debate moderators did not fact check during Tuesday’s debate against former President Donald Trump. Here are 21 false claims and hoaxes that Harris uttered on live television, in front of millions of Americans: 1. “Very fine people” hoax 2. Project 2025 hoax: Harris accused Trump of wanting to implement Project 2025. This is false. Trump has repeatedly stated that he has nothing to do with it and hasn’t even read it. Trump promptly corrected Harris on the debate stage, saying, “I have nothing to do — as you know, and as she knows, better than anyone — I have nothing to do with Project 2025. I haven’t read it, I don’t want to read it, purposely. I’m not going to read it.” 3. False claims on Trump trade deficit 4. Putin can “do whatever the hell he wants”: To add insult to injury, this false claim is also coupled with stark gaslighting, given that Putin appears to be doing whatever he wants during the Biden-Harris administration — such as invading Ukraine... 5. “Dictator on day one” hoax 6. Blaming botched Afghanistan withdrawal on Trump 7. Putin “would be sitting in Kyiv” 8. “Bloodbath” hoax 9. Abortion “monitor” hoax: Harris claimed that Trump wanted an abortion “monitor.” This is false. Trump has never said anything like that. 10. Rental property hoax 11. Central Park Five “execution” hoax 12. “Suckers and losers” hoax 13. False fracking claims: Harris claimed she never called to ban fracking. This is false, as she explicitly called to end fracking when running for president in 2019. 14. False oil production claims: Harris claimed that the Biden-Harris administration ramped up oil production. This is false. The Biden-Harris administration has actively worked to curb domestic oil production. 15. National Sales Tax: Harris accused Trump of proposing a national sales tax. This is false. President Trump has not proposed a national sales tax. 16. Distorting unemployment figures 17. “I was raised middle-class”: This is mostly false. Harris had a rich Canadian upbringing, growing up in Westmount — a majority English neighborhood in the French province of Quebec. 18. “Terminating” the Constitution: Harris claimed that Trump wants to “terminate” the U.S. Constitution. This is false. Trump does not want to “terminate” the Constitution and has refuted this lie himself. 19. “Sold us out” to China 20. “Not one” troop in any war zone: Harris claimed there are currently no active-duty troops in any combat zone anywhere around the world for the first time this century. This is false. 21. Taking guns away: Harris claimed that she and her running mate Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) “are not taking anyone’s guns away.” This is false. Harris has campaigned on banning AR-15s and other guns that Democrats label “assault weapons.” Just last month, during their first campaign event together, Harris and Walz pushed for a ban on AR-15s and other guns. While ABC’s debate moderators Linsey Davis and David Muir failed to fact-check the plethora of false claims and hoaxes uttered by Harris, they frequently tried to fact-check Trump, with Muir even bizarrely fact-checking a joke the 45th president had previously made.
