REVEALED: Hunter Biden’s China-Linked Business Made Direct, Monthly Payments to Joe Biden.

Representative James Comer and the House Oversight Committee have released bank records showing “direct monthly payments” to Joe Biden by the China-linked Owasco PC, his son Hunter’s business entity.

“President Joe Biden claimed there was an absolute wall between his official government duties and his families influence-peddling schemes. This was a lie,” said Rep. Comer in a video statement. “Now, Hunter Biden’s legal team and the White House’s media allies claim Hunter’s corporate entities never made payments directly to Joe Biden. We can officially add this latest talking point to the list of lies,” he continued.

Comer revealed the Committee had uncovered direct payments from Owasco to the elder Biden after subpoenaing bank records.

“Owasco PC made direct monthly payments to Joe Biden. This wasn’t a payment from Hunter Biden’s personal account, but an account for his corporation that received payment from China and other shady corners of the world,” Comer stressed.

“At this moment, Hunter Biden is under investigation by the Department of Justice for using Owasco PC for tax evasion and other serious crimes,” he noted.

“Joe Biden knew about, participated in, and benefited from his family’s influence-peddling schemes,” Comer emphasized, discussing how the then-Vice President was dialed into Hunter’s business meetings.

US ‘Out of Money’ for Ukraine, Says White House.

The United States is almost out of money to give to Ukraine unless Congress agrees to send another financial package, according to a letter written to congressional leaders by the White House’s budget director Shalanda Young on Monday.

The letter states, “Without congressional action, by the end of the year, we will run out of resources to procure more weapons and equipment for Ukraine and to provide equipment from US military stocks.”

“There is no magical pot of funding available to meet this moment. We are out of money – and nearly out of time,” it continues.

“Cutting off the flow of US weapons and equipment will kneecap Ukraine on the battlefield, not only putting at risk the gains Ukraine has made, but increasing the likelihood of Russian military victories,” the letter adds.

The U.S. Congress has already approved over $113 billion in various forms of aid to Ukraine since the start of the war in February last year. Over the past several months, President Biden has encouraged Congress to green-light another spending package that would prove $106 to the country’s so-called foreign policy priorities, including Ukraine.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) has similarly announced his intention to send more taxpayer dollars to Ukraine before the end of the year, blaming the House GOP for the delays.

Foreign-Born Population Swells to 49.5 Million Under Biden.

The foreign-born population in the United States, legal and illegal, has surged to at least 49.5 million. The total number, accurate to October, takes foreigners to their highest share of the U.S. population since records began.

The foreign-born population has increased by 4.5 million since Joe Biden was inaugurated, meaning foreigners now account for a greater share of the U.S. population than 25 individual U.S. states. The Center for Immigration Studies (CIS), which compiled the figures, believes 2.5 million of these 4.5 million were illegal immigrants.

Importantly, the 4.5 million increase is a net figure, with emigration and deaths among foreign residents subtracted from total arrivals.

Joe Biden appears to be accelerating mass migration even faster than his former boss, Barack Obama. Under the 44th President, whose own father was a Kenyan non-citizen, the foreign-born population grew by 68,000 a month. Biden has increased this to 137,000 a month.

Under Donald Trump, the increase was much lower, at 42,000 a month.

“[Fifteen] percent of the U.S. population is now foreign-born – the largest share on record. The prior record was 14.8 percent, 133 years ago in 1890,” the CIS noted in its report.

“If legal and illegal immigration were to continue at the current level, we project that the total foreign-born population will reach nearly 59 million and 17.3 percent of [the] population by the end of Biden’s second term in December 2028,” they added.

LISTEN: Frasier’s Kelsey Grammer Tells BBC He Still Supports Trump, Paramount+ PR Team Ends Interview.

The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) has alleged that Paramount+ public relations officers cut short an interview with Frasier star Kelsey Grammer after the award-winning actor reiterated his support for President Donald J. Trump.

Early in the interview – in which Grammer also discussed the murder of his sister and his friendship with co-star Nicholas Lyndhurst –  the Cheers and associated spin-off star said Roseanne Barr inspired the Frasier relaunch. Noting Barr was also a Trump supporter, interviewer Justin Webb later asked if Grammer is still a backer of the 45th President.

“I am, and I’ll let that be the end of it,” Grammer replied with a slight chuckle, before the interview came to an abrupt halt.

Webb explained, afterwards: “I have to say actually Kelsey Grammer himself was perfectly happy to go on talking about it. The Paramount+ PR people, less happy that he talked about it at some length,” said Webb after the pre-recorded interview, suggesting part of their discussion was not aired.

“But I should stress that he was perfectly happy to talk about why he supports Donald Trump and still does in the forthcoming election,” Webb added.

Grammer explained in 2019 that he welcomed Trump as a disruptor, saying did not “think Washington did us any favors for the last 50, 60 years. I think they’ve all been sort of the same party, the same bunch of clowns, the same bunch of really unpleasant people, and I don’t think they’ve been helping anybody but themselves.”

Conor McGregor Teases Run at Irish Presidency.

UFC star Conor McGregor has hinted at plans to run for President of Ireland. Incumbent Michael D. Higgins began his second and final seven-year term in 2018.

The former two-weight world champion has been increasingly vocal about against mass migration to Ireland in recent months. McGregor blasted the European Union’s open borders, which allowed a pedophile to move to Ireland and kill a young woman. He criticized immigration policy more broadly after an Algerian migrant stabbed a woman and three toddlers near a school. McGregor even appeared to suggest locals should destroy empty hotels the government plans to fill with migrants.

The role of President of Ireland is largely ceremonial, however. He can refer a bill to the Supreme Court to test its constitutionality, but does not have veto power. For the most part, he is required to follow the “advice” of the Taoiseach (Prime Minister) and his government, which enjoys executive authority. The post would simply provide McGregor with a powerful bully pulpit to influence the national discourse.

The political establishment throws up substantial roadblocks against outsider candidates. While the President is directly elected, candidates must be nominated by at least 20 members of the Oireachtas (legislature) or at least four of the country’s 31 city and county councils to stand.

On six occasions, only one candidate has made the ballot, resulting in them being “elected” without a public vote.

Michigan Muslim Mayor Says He’s ‘Not in the Mood’ for Christmas if Bombs Are Falling in Gaza.

Dearborn mayor Abdullah Hammoud said residents – including himself – were “not in the mood” at this year’s city Christmas tree lighting, adding “Not when bombs are dropping in Gaza.” The Muslim mayor claimed growing concerns about Islamophobia were also to blame for the unusually somber event.

“In this community, right now there is a lot of grief, anger and fear,” Mayor Hammoud said in an interview with the New York Times. “You can’t help but be anxious when the whole city tells you that they stay up every night following the news, trying to understand how much more death and destruction is happening.”

He added, “This is personal for me. And it is personal for a great majority of my city.”

While Hammoud has tried to cast himself and city residents in a more sympathetic light following Hamas’s barbaric October 7th terrorist attack against Israel, he and some Dearborn residents have a long track record of promoting antisemitism and violence against Jews.

Hammoud, known for his staunch anti-Israel positions, excused the Hamas terror attack on the Jewish state “inevitable.” In a 2021 social media post, the Dearborn mayor used – in a positive manner – the phrase “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” which many interpret as a call for the Palestinian conquest and eradication of Israel.

The National Pulse previously reported Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), whose district includes Dearborn, was a member of a secret Facebook group in which members praised Hamas and acts of terrorism against Jews – some embers also engaged in conspiracies denying the Holocaust.

While Hammoud laments a perceived rise in Islamophobia, in reality it is anti-Semitism that is on the steep rise – especially among Michigan’s Muslim community. According to government data, nearly half of the religion-oriented hate crimes in 2022 were directed at Jews in America.

DeSantis Staff Bought $22 Bible on Amazon for Inauguration After Gov Admitted Family Didn’t Own One.

A week before Florida Governor Ron DeSantis was inaugurated in 2019, his staff scrambled to acquire a Bible for him to be sworn in to office with. The King James Bible, held during the inauguration by the Governor’s wife Casey DeSantis, was purchased by staff from Jeff Bezos’s Amazon.com for $21.74 and shipped to Florida’s Republican Party headquarters.

The revelation that DeSantis did not own a family Bible – at least in 2019 – casts a degree of doubt on his current presidential campaign’s framing of the Governor as a staunch Christian and culture warrior. The DeSantis campaign has focused heavily on outreach to Evangelical Christians, though DeSantis himself is ostensibly Catholic.

American Protestants, including Evangelical Christians, often have one or more Bibles in their homes. While many Catholics also have personal Bibles, it is primarily heard through readings at each Mass as part of the Lectionaries. According to Fr. Felix Just, S.J, 13.5 percent of the Old Testament, 54.9 percent of the non-Gospel New Testament, and 89.8 percent of the Gospels is covered by the Sunday and Weekday Lectionaries.

Politicians often use religious texts to take their oaths of office upon – though it is not required. Article 6, Section 3 of the Constitution requires an oath of office for Members of Congress and state legislators but adds, “…no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States.”

President John Quincy Adams was sworn in to office on the legal work “Volume of Laws”. After the assassination of President William McKinley, Theodore Roosevelt was hastily sworn in with no book to take the Presidential Oath upon at all. Lyndon B. Johnson used a Catholic Missal after the assassination of President Kennedy. Former Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard used a personal copy of the Bhagavad Gita, a Hindu religious text.

At DeSantis’s second inauguration, he used a loaner Bible from Blaze Media personality and infamous Cheeto-dust lover Glenn Beck.

REJOICE! 137 ‘Abortion Clinics’ Closed in Just 2 Years.

One hundred and thirty seven abortion clinics were forced to close or halt their operations over the past two years in the United States, according to the Christian charity Operation Rescue.

A total of 88 clinics closed or halted operations in 2022, with another 49 following suit this year. Of the 49 clinics that either closed or halted operations this year, 51 percent were pill-only facilities, and 49 percent were surgical.

There are now 670 abortion clinics left in the country, representing a 69 percent reduction in the total number of facilities compared to 1991, in which there were well over 2,176 in operation.

“The overturn of Roe v. Wade is undoubtedly saving lives. And the enduring efforts of faithful Americans on the pro-life side are paying off and having a winning effect,” said Operation Rescue’s President Troy Newman.

“While the pro-life community has much to celebrate, the pro-death crowd continues to find methods of killing as many human beings as possible. The prayers and work involved in exposing the evil behind the Abortion Cartel is more important than ever!” Newman added.

As of late November, one in four babies that would have been aborted in the United States have been born as a direct result of the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe. Since then, fourteen states are considered “abortion-free” by Operation Rescue, including Alabama, Arkansas, Idaho, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, North Dakota, South Dakota, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, and West Virginia.

Paris Terror Suspect Declared ISIS Support, Was Jailed in 2016 for Terror Offenses, But French Govt Says He Has ‘Psychiatric Disorders’.

The main suspect in Saturday’s terror attack in Paris has been named as Arman Rajabpour-Miyandoab, who was imprisoned for terror-related offenses in France in 2016, and has been in contact with multiple other Islamic terrorists, according to reports.

Rajabpour-Miyandoab, a 26-year-old French national of Iranian descent, killed one and injured another two as he screamed “Allah-hu Akbar!” this weekend. He was previously jailed for plotting a terrorist attack in the Paris’ business district of La Defense in 2016. He received a four-year sentence and lived with his parents after his release.

The suspect released a video shortly before the attack in which he declared himself a supporter of ISIS and pledged his allegiance to Caliph Abu Hafs, leader of the “Islamic State” terror faction. Rajabpour-Miyandoab confessed to launching the attack to “avenge Muslims” and said he could not watch “Arabs being killed in Afghanistan and Palestine.”

French Interior Minister Gerald Darmian told the press, “He is known to the intelligence and justice services… He had already wanted to carry out violent action but had been arrested before being able to do it.”

“He is being monitored as a person with very significant psychiatric disorders. He was also under psychiatric and neurological treatment,” Darmian added.

Before his imprisonment, Rajabpour-Miyandoab was reportedly in contact with jihadist fighters who had traveled to Syria to fight for ISIS. He allegedly also communicated with Abdoullakh Anzorov, who was responsible for beheading French teacher Samuel Paty in 2020.
