"It's Dad. I'm calling to tell you I love you. I love you more than the whole world, pal. You gotta get some help. I don't know what to do. I know you don't either."
-- Joe Biden, in a voicemail to his son, Hunter, who was in the throes of addiction.
The ONLY thing President Biden is guilty of is loving his son, which is not a crime.
You could never accuse trump of that.
🚨🚨BREAKING: The House Republicans, unable to pass a budget, unable to pass any meaningful legislation since they have been in power, have just voted 221-212 to move forward with an impeachment inquiry on President Biden.
It has already been determined by numerous Republican members of the House, and even members of the right wing media, that there is no evidence of "high crimes and misdemeanors" to support an impeachment of the President.
Utterly disgraceful.
President Biden responds after House Republicans voted to formalize the impeachment inquiry into him by referencing Ukraine, Israel, the U.S. southern border, saying, "There is a lot of work to be done. But after wasting weeks trying to find a new Speaker of the House and having to expel their own members, Republicans in Congress are leaving for a month without doing anything to address these pressing challenges....Instead of doing anything to help make Americans’ lives better, they are focused on attacking me with lies. Instead of doing their job on the urgent work that needs to be done, they are choosing to waste time on this baseless political stunt that even Republicans in Congress admit is not supported by facts."
BREAKING: Republican Congressman Adam Kinzinger torches MAGA hack Jim Jordan for being an "absolute hypocrite" for threatening to hold Hunter Biden in contempt of Congress for defying a subpoena — even though Jordan himself did the same exact thing.
This is just too perfect.
Kinzinger slammed Jordan, who is currently the Judiciary Committee Chair, for trying to hold Hunter Biden to a standard he doesn't even apply to himself. Jordan infamously refused to obey a subpoena to testify before the January 6th committee.
"He’s for the sanctity of the subpoena by the U.S. Congress until he’s the one that gets subpoenaed by U.S. Congress, and he also votes against enforcing subpoenas against people like Steve Bannon and against people like Mark Meadows," Kinzinger said to CNN’s Kate Bolduan. "I mean, the hypocrisy is mind-numbing."
Hunter appeared at the Capitol today and made a public statement but didn't head inside for a scheduled deposition. Republicans wanted him to testify as part of the sham impeachment inquiry into President Biden.
"My father was not financially involved in my business, not as a practicing lawyer, not as a board member of Burisma, not in my partnership with the Chinese private businessman, not in my investments at home and abroad, and certainly not as an artist," Biden exclaimed. "There is no evidence to support the allegations that my father was financially involved in my business because it did not happen.”
Kinzinger characterized the entire Jordan-led charade as a "fishing expedition" desperately flailing about in the hopes of finding evidence against the president.
He's correct. This entire saga is nothing but a cynical attempt to harm the Biden administration ahead of the 2024 election. Since they have nothing real to hit him on, they're targeting his son.
Jim Jordan is an utter disgrace and it's good to see a member of his own party finally calling him out.

🚨🚨🚨MAJOR BREAKING: Judge Engoron was evacuated and a man has been arrested for causing a fire in the courthouse where Trump’s civil fraud trial is taking place.
Here are the details:
"Four hours after testimony wrapped in the civil fraud trial against Donald Trump and the Trump Organization, the lower Manhattan courthouse was evacuated after someone set papers on fire, then pulled and used multiple fire extinguishers on the same floor as the courtroom.”
"The judge in the case, New York Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron, was in his robing room when he heard shouting on the floor, and was safely escorted out of the courthouse."
We’ll update with more information below as it comes.
BREAKING NEWS: Donald’s "legal fund" quietly moved over $18,000 to fund a party at Mar-a-Lago and has so far used ZERO dollars for his legal fees, which is the stated purpose of the fund.
I ran these findings by an attorney who told me he saw red flags. The non-profit has a “fiduciary duty to its donors to use their resources for their stated purpose. This is a fundamental principle of non-profit law. If a non-profit misuses funds, it is FRAUD.”
