Hunter Biden Voluntarily Surrenders D.C. Law License to Dodge Disbarment Battle Over Criminal Convictions

Hunter Biden, the scandal-plagued son of Joe Biden, has voluntarily agreed to give up his license to practice law in Washington, D.C., according to Politico.

The decision, revealed this week by the D.C. Bar’s Board on Professional Responsibility, comes as no surprise to those who’ve followed the younger Biden’s laundry list of legal troubles.

It’s a blatant attempt to sidestep the inevitable—a full disbarment proceeding that would have laid bare the consequences of his criminal behavior.

Last June, a jury convicted him of felony gun charges—owning a firearm while using illegal drugs and lying about that drug use on a federal form.

Then, in September, he pleaded guilty to tax evasion and a slew of other tax-related crimes, admitting he’d dodged the law while living a life of excess.

Yet, in December, his father—Joe Biden himself—swooped in with a presidential pardon, wiping the slate clean for his wayward son. How convenient.

It’s Official: Ukraine Conflict is British ‘Proxy War’

On March 29th, the New York Times published a landmark investigation exposing how the US was “woven” into Ukraine’s battle with Russia “far more intimately and broadly than previously understood,” with Washington almost invariably serving as “the backbone of Ukrainian military operations.” The outlet went so far as to acknowledge the conflict was a “proxy war” – an irrefutable reality hitherto aggressively denied in the mainstream – dubbing it a “rematch” of “Vietnam in the 1960s, Afghanistan in the 1980s, Syria three decades later.”

That the US has since February 2022 supplied Ukraine with extraordinary amounts of weaponry, and been fundamental to the planning of many of Kiev’s military operations large and small, is hardly breaking news. Indeed, elements of this relationship have previously been widely reported, with White House apparatchiks occasionally admitting to Washington’s role. Granular detail on this assistance provided by the New York Times probe is nonetheless unprecedented. For example, a dedicated intelligence fusion centre was secretly created at a vast US military base in Germany.

Dubbed “Task Force Dragon”, it united officials from every major US intelligence agency, and “coalition intelligence officers”, to produce extensive daily targeting information on Russian “battlefield positions, movements and intentions”, to “pinpoint” and “determine the ripest, highest-value targets” for Ukraine to strike using Western-provided weapons. The fusion centre quickly became “the entire back office of the war.” A nameless European intelligence chief was purportedly “taken aback to learn how deeply enmeshed his NATO counterparts had become” in the conflict’s “kill chain”…

Tucker Carlson Horrified as Dr. Mary Talley Bowden Drops Chilling COVID Statistic

Dr. Mary Talley Bowden left Tucker Carlson visibly shaken after dropping a chilling COVID-19 vaccine statistic that’s impacting millions of children right now.

Before her appearance on Carlson’s show, Dr. Bowden, a Texas-based ENT specialist, rose to prominence in the medical freedom movement by speaking out against vaccine mandates and advocating for early treatment options like ivermectin.

She gained national attention after she was suspended by Houston Methodist Hospital for challenging the prevailing COVID narrative.

Despite the backlash, Bowden has remained committed to the Hippocratic Oath, successfully treating an impressive total of over 6,000 COVID patients without a single death.

Hollywood Actor Jean-Claude Van Damme Named in Romanian Sex Trafficking Scandal — Actor Accused of Sleeping with Five Victims He Knew were Trafficked

Action movie star Jean-Claude Van Damme has been named in a criminal complaint filed by Romania’s Directorate for Investigating Organized Crime and Terrorism (DIICOT).

The 64-year-old Belgian-born star, known for his high-octane roles in Bloodsport, Kickboxer, and Street Fighter, is accused of knowingly engaging in sexual acts with five Romanian women who were allegedly victims of a human trafficking ring.

The allegations claim the incidents took place roughly a decade ago at an event in Cannes, organized by Van Damme himself.

According to reports from CNN affiliate Antena 3, the women—presented as photo models—were offered to Van Damme as a “gift” by a criminal group already under investigation for pimping and trafficking, led by Romanian businessman Morel Bolea.

Attorney Adrian Cuculis, representing one of the alleged victims, told the news outlet, “The person who received those benefits knew their condition,” suggesting Van Damme was fully aware the women were exploited.

The complaint alleges the actor’s actions violated Romania’s strict laws against human trafficking and exploitation, potentially implicating him in a broader network of cross-border crime.

CNN’s Abby Phillip Lies About Elon Musk and Social Security, Gets Corrected by Former Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker

During a segment on CNN about the state’s Supreme Court election this week, Abby Phillip straight up lied, claiming that Elon Musk and DOGE were targeting Social Security.

Former Wisconsin governor, Republican Scott Walker, was on the show, and he jumped in to correct her in real time, pointing out that Musk specifically said he was NOT targeting Social Security.

Phillip was basically just parroting false Democrat talking points, as so many people in the media do on a regular basis.

FOX News reports:

CNN host spars with former Wisconsin governor on the claim Musk said he would cut Social Security

CNN’s Abby Phillip and former Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker got into a heated argument over her claim Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) head Elon Musk talked about cutting Social Security and Medicaid benefits at a recent town hall event.

During a segment on “CNN NewsNight” Tuesday night, Phillip referenced Musk holding an event in Green Bay, Wisconsin, over the weekend ahead of a closely watched state Supreme Court election. She claimed that at the town hall he “talked about cutting Medicaid and Social Security through DOGE.”

“Actually, he never talked about that. He explicitly said in Green Bay he would not cut Social Security. That’s exactly what he said,” Walker pushed back.

“Well, he talked at his rallies,” Phillip said.

“No, no. Other people said that,” Walker argued. “But I was there. I watched him. He did not say he was going to cut Medicaid.”

Here Are The WhatsApp Messages Those British Parents Were ARRESTED For…

A British couple who were arrested for complaining about their child’s school in a WhatsApp group have revealed the messages that led to their insane incarceration.

As we highlighted earlier this week, Police arrested Maxie Allen and Rosalind Levin in front of their daughter on suspicion of malicious communications, harassment, and causing a nuisance on school property.

Mr Allen noted “we have never even been told what these communications were that were supposedly criminal, which is completely Kafkaesque.”

Now the messages have come to light, and they are completely innocuous.

The couple complained about the process school governors were undertaking to appoint a new headteacher, and were sent a letter by the school warning them to stop discussing it.

Following this, Levine texted the group saying “they think they have a right to control everyone” adding that parents are free to “discuss anything they like”.

She further ironically joked that the school would have them arrested, writing “Can you imagine what the ‘action’ is? Hello, 999, one of the school mums said something mean about me in a school mum WhatsApp group. Please can you arrest them?”

Allen added that “No public body has the power to control what people say about it.”

The Daily Mail noted that other parents in the group supported that sentiment.

J6 Political Prisoner Dan Wilson Forced to Self-Surrender By Activist TDS Judge

Almost two weeks after The Gateway Pundit published our story on January 6er Dan Wilson, he has had to self-surrender under the duress of DC District Judge Dabney Friedrich’s court order. Wilson was pardoned on January 20th by President Trump, and now his neck is under the boot of a radical activist judge. She is disobeying a direct order by THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and acting like a spoiled brat bully who hits her little sister because she wants to play with her toy, so her sister doesn’t have any fun either.

It is unbelievable that these unhinged individuals like Judge Friedrich are presiding over our federal courts. She has gone above and beyond her hatred for President Trump by doubling down on her bias towards a January 6th defendant, whose case she presided over. Dan WIlson should be a free man today. The government has recognized that the case against him falls under the scope of the Presidential Pardon.

Wilson has been fighting a case that is directly related to the January 6th-inspired FBI raid on his home. He was arrested after the FBI finished searching the residence, although he was not arrested for his attendance on January 6th.

Wait, what? Yes, the warrant was for J6, but he was arrested for another reason and NOT J6 (at the time). His arrest was for having guns at his home in Kentucky. Over 30 years ago, as a very young man, Wilson became a felon and served his time in prison. According to the law, he should not have had the guns in his home. Some may debate that constitutionally; he can have guns. However, in this case, for right now, it is a debate for another time because the law recognized by the people who lock you up is not debatable, but how they found these guns at his home is.

Lawn Gone Liberty: The Update

It’s finally spring.

Better mow your lawn.

If you don’t, your town government may fine you thousands of dollars a day. 

Worse, if you can’t pay the fine, they may confiscate your home.

Six years ago, in Dunedin, Florida, Jim Ficken let his grass grow. 

His mom had died, and he’d left town to take care of her estate. He asked a friend to cut his grass, but that friend died, too!

In the two months Ficken was away, his grass grew taller than 10 inches.

City bureaucrats started fining him.

But they didn’t tell Ficken that. When he finally got back, there was no notice of the $500-a-day fine. Only when he ran into a “code enforcement officer” did he learn he’d be getting “a big bill.”

When the bill came, it was for $24,454.

Ficken quickly mowed his lawn. Then the city tacked on another $5,000 for “non-compliance.”

Ficken didn’t have that much money, so city officials told him they would take his home.

Fortunately, Ficken discovered the libertarian law firm, the Institute for Justice, which fights government abuse.

IJ lawyer Ari Bargil took on Ficken’s case, arguing that the $30,000 fine violates the Constitution’s limits on “excessive bail, fines, and cruel punishments.”

But a judge ruled that the fine was “not excessive.” 

Of course, judges are just lawyers with robes. Often they are lawyer/bureaucrats who’ve become very comfortable with big government.

I call a $30K penalty for not cutting your lawn absurdly excessive, 

IJ attorney Bargil told local news stations, “If $30,000 for tall grass in Florida is not excessive, it is hard to imagine what is.”

Dunedin’s politicians often impose heavy fines for minor transgressions.

One resident told us, “They fined me $32,000 for a hole the size of a quarter in my stucco … For a lawn mower in my yard … They fine people they can pick on … and they keep picking on them.” 

It happens elsewhere, too.

Charlotte, North Carolina, fined a church for “excessive pruning.”

Danbury, Connecticut, charged a resident $200,000 for leaving his yard messy.

Bargil notes, “It’s pretty apparent that code enforcement is a major cash cow.”

In just five-and-a-half years, Dunedin collected $3.6 million in fines. 

But by then, I and others had noticed. We were reporting on Dunedin’s heavy fines. 

So did the politicians sheepishly acknowledge that they had milked citizens with excessive fines and give the money back?

Of course not. They hired a PR firm. That cost taxpayers another $25,000 a month.

Three GOP States Find 300,000 Bad Voter Registrations, Along with Hundreds of Non-Citizens Registered to Vote

Voting is one of the bedrocks that the United States of America was built on.

It’s of the utmost importance to the very structure of America that voting will forever remain a sacred and protected right.

Since we can all agree on that … Why in the world is it so hard for the country’s leaders to implement actual voting security measures?

(Well, we know why, but I digress.)

The latest example that America’s voting systems are deeply problematic actually — and scarily — emanates from a pair of reliably Republican states.

In the span of less than a week in mid-March, the Republican-leaning Iowa and the deeper red Idaho and Missouri found catastrophic issues with their respective voter rolls.

On March 14, Missouri Secretary of State Denny Hoskins released a statement saying they found and subsequently removed 18,637 voters who are deceased.

Just The News added, however, that Missouri has also since removed a number of other problematic voter registrations, including 133,520 inactive voters and another 4,000-plus voters who had either moved or were disqualified (due to a felony, for example).

Then, on March 19, Idaho Secretary of State Phil McGrane announced that his administration had cleared out a whopping “144,121 voter records statewide due to inactivity, change of address, or ineligibility.”

Just a day after that, Iowa Secretary of State Paul D. Pate announced that his team had uncovered and removed another “277 confirmed noncitizens who have voted or are registered to vote.”

Add it up, and you’re looking at close to 300,000 problematic voter registrations being uncovered in a matter of six days.

If these sorts of voluminous issues can crop up in three states like these, imagine how bad it could be in far bigger — and far bluer — states.

And therein lies one of the key issues with voter security: It’s a macro issue that’s being treated at the micro (or state) level.

Europe Wails And Gnashes Its Teeth Over Trump Tariffs

Europe knows it has been ripping off American citizens for years, racking up massive trade deficits. Europe also knows it has been freeloading on the American national security umbrella for decades.

Yet, this morning, Europe chooses to bad mouth the United States and the Trump administration for the President’s insistence that the dishonest relationship between the continents end, with the announcement of a global tariff regime by Washington.

Globalists leaders in Europe, fat and happy from decades of grifting off America, are not happy this morning.

Their reactions are below:

Spain’s PM Sanchez declared Europe was already being attacked from the East by Russia, now faces trade attacks from the West. The U.S. return to 19th-century protectionism is not an intelligent move.

German Economy Minister Robert Habeck said, “Donald Trump will buckle under pressure from Germany and Europe in an escalating trade war.”

German Chancellor Scholz declared, “Even if we did nothing in response, the tariffs will cause problems for the U.S. economy. It would be a serious economic error.”

The Austrian Economic Minister declared, “To force Trump to the negotiating table, we need to impose tariffs that hit Republican states and his friends including tech firms.”

French PM Bayrou said on Trump tariffs, “This marks a catastrophe for the world economy.”
