Several bombshells dropped by two IRS whistleblowers on Thursday reveal, among other things, that Joe Biden’s DOJ buried evidence of Hunter Biden’s tax crimes – and stopped US Attorney David Weiss from bringing charges against Hunter in two different jurisdictions last year. “The IRS sought felony charges against Hunter, send their recommendations to the Biden DOJ, and they ‘came out as two misdemeanors,’ Byron York.
According to the whistleblowers, one of whom is Gary Shipley – who came forward weeks ago to reveal his identity, the IRS was notified of potential evidence “in the guest house of former Vice President Biden,” but was rebuffed by US Attorney Lesley Wolf, who said there was “no way,” as search warrant “would ever get approved.”
House Ways & Means Chair Jason Smith details multiple felony charges whistleblowers say the IRS recommended against Hunter Biden, covering “$2.2 million in unreported tax on global income…from Ukraine, Romania, and China.” Instead, Biden’s DOJ gave Hunter a sweetheart deal.

Whistleblowers describe how the Biden Justice Department intervened and overstepped in a campaign to protect the son of Joe Biden by delaying, divulging, and denying an ongoing investigation into Hunter Biden’s alleged tax crimes’ said Smith in a statement. The testimony shows tactics used by the Justice Department to delay the investigation long enough to reach the statute of limitations, evidence they divulged sensitive actions by the investigative team to Biden’s attorneys, and denied requests by the U.S. Attorney to bring charges against Biden.’
Corruption: The president’s son will plead guilty to two misdemeanor counts of willful failure to pay federal income tax. Hunter Biden also agreed to enter into a pretrial diversion agreement regarding a separate charge of possession of a firearm by a person who is an unlawful user of or addicted to a controlled substance. The U.S. Attorney for the District of Delaware David C. Weiss said, according to the tax Information, Hunter Biden “received taxable income in excess of $1,500,000 annually in calendar years 2017 and 2018.”

During seven hours of testimony before the Ways and Means Committee, Shipley and the other whistleblower’s testimony implicates both AG Merrick Garland and IRS Commissioner Daniel Werfel for lying to Congress about political interference in the Biden probe.

“Whistleblower One’s story was corroborated by Whistleblower Two,” said Rep. Kevin Hern (R-OK).
“One individual came forward and laid out the full case of what’s going on. The second individual, through his attorney, asked Ways and Means to contact him and ask for testimony. So we didn’t seek these, they sought us,” added Rep. Greg Murphy (R-NC).
With the rejection from the DC US Attorney, the team sought the approval to bring tax charges for years 2016-2019 in the Central District of California. Shapley concluded that “the Central District of California declined to allow charges to be brought there.”
The rejection to bring charges in DC and California stands in stark contrast to the testimony of Attorney General Garland, who in March of 2023 stated that US Attorney Weiss had the full authority to “bring cases in other jurisdictions.” Garland also said that he personally would ensure that Weiss could “carry out his investigation and that he [would] be able to run it.” Both those statements now appear to be false. (Your humble author thinks the Republicans knew Garland was making misrepresentations at the time.)
…
Preferential treatment of Hunter Biden might be an understatement. In reality, it was sabotage, the affirmative effort to decline investigative steps and deny prosecutors the ability to bring charges. The DOJ’s conduct included:
“included slow-walking investigative steps, not allowing enforcement actions to be executed, limiting investigators’ line of questioning for witnesses, misleading investigators on charging authority, delaying any and all actions months before elections.”
Prosecutors even wanted to remove Hunter Biden’s name from electronic search warrants and document requests, even though this could cause investigators to not get certain evidence.
Joe Biden was in the room
In another piece of evidence presented on Thursday, Hunter Biden can be seen in a message to Chinese business associate, Henry Zhao, demanding that they send money as promised.
“I am sitting here with my father and we would like to understand why the commitment made has not been fulfilled,” wrote Hunter via WhatsApp on July 30, 2017. “Tell the director that I would like to resolve this now before it gets out of hand, and now means tonight.“
Hunter then warned that “if I get a call or text from anyone involved in this other than you, Zhang or the chairman, I will make certain that between the man sitting next to me and every person he knows and my ability to forever hold a grudge that you will regret not following my direction. I am sitting here waiting for the call with my father.“

Hunter Biden, whom President Joe Biden claimed is the “smartest guy” he knows, deducted tens of thousands of dollars in payments he made to prostitutes and a sex club from his taxes, according to Internal Revenue Service whistleblower testimony released Thursday by the House Ways and Means Committee.

Meanwhile: Pentagon announces an overpayment of $6.2 Billion to Ukraine and calls it an “accounting error” How much do you want to bet a good chunk of that “accounting error” landed in the pockets of Ukrainian oligarchs? Honestly, no one makes a $6.2 billion dollar error.
JUST SO YOU KNOW: Blackrock gets half a trillion-dollar deal to “rebuild” Ukraine. What a spontaneous & shocking coincidence.
IRONY: CEO of the missing sub didn’t want white guys over 50. Okay, maybe 50-year-old white guys aren’t inspirational, but they do have something to offer. The reality is, Military submariners are rare and exceptional people. I’m not sure why anyone, especially a private sub-company, wouldn’t want to hire one. Disrespect for wisdom and experience, with some kind of almost imperial demand to erase “white men” from society, doesn’t really impress us as far as “progress” goes. This is what you get when you trade Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion for experience and competence. ‘Diversity and inclusion’ really is just a narrative of racial hatred toward ‘white’ people – particularly ‘old white men’. They’re not even trying to cover it up with ‘affirmative action’ wrapping paper anymore.

This happens to be the job of the two-party system: creating the illusion of having a democratic choice between two opposing parties while ensuring that both parties advance the same overall agendas.
Contrary to popular belief most people do not want to engage in struggle because of the cost physically and financially. Freedom has never been obtained by large groups, it has always been a small determined group that risks everything. Modern Americans were gifted freedom.
And besides nothing, really, what can one who is sane and rational, even marginally so, say to any of that BULL**** and insanity people in power would have us believe is good government in operation?
I read this column all the way through on Sunday mornings, coffee cup in hand, and it never fails to impress me with how it is so able to capture the bizarre surreality in America today that passes itself off to the gullible and unsuspecting and just plain brain-dead out there as somehow normal in an ordered society and therefore, to be expected!
And in my mind, I keep thinking back to Joe Biden’s TRANS FEST on the south lawn of the white house, where Joe and his wife, Doctor Jull Biden staged a contest to see what trans man had the very best set of hooters on them, with Joe and Jill being the judges on such important matters as aesthetics, and the all important “feel most real” category, with Doctor Jull quipping to the assembled audience in her fake hick country girl accent as she went from contestant to contestant, “Folks, let me tell you, this is the very best melon crop we have ever had on the white house south lawn of any administration in this nation’s history, bar none, and that is a fact!”
When asked by a reporter the extent to which Russian President Vladimir Putin had been weakened by the attempted Wagner uprising, the president argued coherently that the Russian leader was hurt.
“It’s hard to tell but he is clearly losing the war in Iraq, he’s losing the war at home and he has become a bit of a pariah around the world,” Biden responded.
***************
And thank God is all I can, because it is such a comfort to know that Putin is clearly losing the war in Iraq.
Could anyone imagine the world-wide fall-out if he actually won his war down there?
All that oil gone!
It would be horrible to an extreme almost impossible to imagine without getting frightened right to death, or having your hair turn white from fright!
So let’s all pray the Iraqis keep up the good fight and continue with their victories and give Putin some much needed what-for.
“Fed’s Powell does not rule out rate rise at coming meetings”

Powell also said efforts to bring inflation back to target will take a long time.
“I don’t see us getting back to 2% this year or next year,” and when it does happen, it’s likely to be in 2025, he said.

“Fed’s Powell signals fresh US rate hikes ahead”

Speaking in Dublin, Atlanta Fed President Raphael Bostic made the case for continuing to hold steady on rates.
Still, he said, his comments should not be taken to mean he is not concerned about inflation, which Fed policymakers often describe as a tax that weighs most heavily on people making low wages.

“Powell says more ‘restriction’ is coming, including possibility of hikes at consecutive meetings”
By Jeff Cox
June 28, 2023
Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell talked tough on inflation Wednesday, saying at a forum that he expects multiple interest rate increases ahead and possibly at an aggressive pace.
“We believe there’s more restriction coming,” Powell said during a monetary policy session in Sintra, Portugal.
“What’s really driving it … is a very strong labor market.”
