Hunter indicted in California
"We want to take money and put it back in the pocket of middle-class people," Biden said in an interview on ABC's "Good Morning America." Noting that wealthier Americans would indeed pay more, Biden said: "It's time to be patriotic ... time to jump in, time to be part of the deal, time to help get America out of the rut."

Despite not having been charged with any FARA violation, Hunter Biden has been charged via a California federal court with three felony tax offenses and six misdemeanors. It seems that he will fully failed to pay at least $1.4 million in self-assessed taxes from 2016 through 2019, and in addition evaded tax assessment for 2018 when he filed false returns.

Funny how different things are in reality from what the national media tells us. They had us thinking that there was something terrible in Donald Trump's tax returns, while Joe Biden's son was actively evading the payment of taxes. The other obvious difference is what those taxes involved. Hunter's taxes were for money paid for influence peddling which is corruption. Hunter is also facing a subpoena to appear on December 13th before a House Committee. Joe Biden's DOJ took the rare step of prosecuting two Trump associates for not honoring a subpoena. Will the Biden DOJ be consistent and do the same if Hunter doesn't show up for a private deposition on Wednesday?

We are also about to see further investigating of the big guy. The House Committee wants documents and the White House has stonewalled. The DOJ has done everything to protect Joe Biden.

The European Union's foreign policy chief on Wednesday urged EU members of the United Nations Security Council to support UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres' call for a humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza.

Guterres on Wednesday invoked a rarely used rule to  refer  the situation in Gaza to the Security Council, urging members to "avert a humanitarian catastrophe."

California is facing a major budget crisis due to a "severe revenue decline," and a record $68 billion budget deficit, likely forcing Democrats running the state to cut spending as  the mass exodus of people and businesses  moving to Republican-run states continues.

The ongoing United Nations COP28 climate summit in Dubai is offering a wide variety of gourmet food options from vendors who serve beef, even as it prepares a report that is expected to call for the West  to reduce consumption of beef .

According to the summit's online portal, its food offerings include "juicy beef," "slabs of succulent meat," smoked wagyu burgers, Philly cheesesteaks and "melt-in-your-mouth BBQ" in addition to African street BBQ, fast casual Mexican fare and an Asian option that has a "touch of French flair." The revelation comes as the U.N. faces criticism for preparing a first-of-its-kind report that is expected to be published at the summit and call for lower meat consumption.

There may be more good news:

Ross Stevens, founder and chief executive officer of Stone Ridge Holdings Group, a financial-services firm, informed Penn in a letter that he would cancel $100 million of Stone Ridge shares held by the university if it didn’t replace President Liz Magill.

The letter was delivered hours after some board members met virtually to discuss the current controversy involving the president. There was no formal vote, but attendees were overwhelmingly supportive of Magill, according to a person in attendance.

Hunter's back taxes have been amended, submitted, paid and accepted by the IRS. The charges are basically those Hunter was already going plead guilty for. Instead, now he is facing charges for underreported his income and late payments, for tax evasion...

There is nothing about any of this linked to President Biden.

Meanwhile, Trump's fraud trial in New York is winding down.

Let justice be done. Hunter isn't running for office. Trump is!

Sorry pal. Stormy had to pay Trump over $600,000 to his legal team.............

In all, Daniels has been ordered to pay more than $600,000 in Trump’s legal fees, tweeted Harmeet Dillon, one of his attorneys in the case. That includes some $300,000 in attorney’s fees that Daniels   previously was ordered to pay.

Porn star Stormy Daniels must pay President Donald Trump nearly $293,000 for his attorneys’ fees and another $1,000 in sanctions after her defamation suit against him was dismissed, a federal judge in Los Angeles ordered Tuesday.

You are still wrong. Stormy Daniels was forced to pay Trump twice for her failed deflamation lawsuit.

.

The 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals   sided with the former president   in his effort to recoup additional legal fees from adult film star Stormy Daniels, who had filed and lost a defamation suit against him. Daniels was ordered to pay Trump’s attorneys just over $120,000 in legal fees. That’s on top of the more than $500,000 in court-ordered payments to Trump attorneys she’s already been ordered to pay.

Also get your facts straight. Trump never paid Daniels anything. It was convicted perjurer Michael Cohen- he of Democrat adoration for turning on Trump.

Democrats do love their criminals.

That was the payment before the 2016 election .. ultimately the 9th circuit court regarding Stormy's defamation suit ruled in the former president's favor .. so depending on the source one reads the amount she owes in legal fees varies.

If Weiss and the garland doj hadn’t intentionally let the Statute of Limitations expire on Biden’s earlier tax fraud, he’d be even in more trouble and considerably poorer. 

What would the reaction have been if the trump DOJ decided, “you know what Eric trump, you owe hundreds in thousands in back taxes, but we are just going to look the other way rather than make you pay what you owe plus penalties for defrauding the government.”

So why say "Go Joe" when it comes to lower prices if it is regardless of who is president and they don't really have the ability to directly affect the prices.

By your logic, you should also say "go Joe" when the prices go back up again.

You can quote me .. but it was not a significant amount sold to China .... and here is how that works, the US announces the sale of strategic oil reserve and then the bidding begins .. the winning 'company' then works out the taking possession part of the transaction.

So there it is .. and sorry Jeremy, I am guilty of derailing....

Your claim that “Nationally the prices of gas is under $3...”, in 7.1.3 started much of this thread.

and Ukraine can whoop Putin if the gop would stop your bullshit!

I disagree, and let me explain why.  Ukraine was stocked up on everything that was needed to conduct their counter offensive against Russia .. within a rather short period of time a high percentage of that high tech equipment was gone, and they did not make much progress... the Ukrainians have fought hard and have done an amazing job .. but I do not believe that they can defeat Russia without boots on the ground assisting in their strategic efforts .. the average age of recruits in Ukraine is now at 40 year olds.

Fighter jets I suppose could make a difference in the outcome - but the return of Crimea or the Donbass region is def bordering on a fantasy.... Zelensky is steadfast in his desire to have all lands returned to Ukraine - I admire his dedication to his country.

and still higher gas prices than when Biden took office!

Take it up with the oil companies, as trump said, "Presidents have nothing to do with the price of gas".

I thought the left would be on this seed apologizing for slurring the whistleblowers, comer and the house oVersight committee for making this happen,   Without them,  these indictments don’t happen, 

they’ve been so wrong, again.

Without his work making this public, the DOJ was going to let Biden off with a mere  diversion agreement without even so much as a guilty plea.  Garland/Weiss already let Hunter walk on two years of tax fraud without any consequence whatsoever or even restitution  before the whistleblowers scared them into action.

He's an idiot because he has had one face plant after another. 

I dont care about Hunter Biden at all. If he's guilty of crimes he should be punished like anyone else.

Ooooooooo, bet Hunter's knuckles are gonna sting for an hour or two.  That's okay, New Jersey is going to be looking for a Senator so maybe Hunter can continue the Biden dynasty in politics.  New Jersey has a love affair with neoliberal fat asses.  The only thing Hunter needs to do is quote Reagan and he'll be a hero.

Noting that wealthier Americans would indeed pay more, Biden said: "It's time to be patriotic ... time to jump in, time to be part of the deal, time to help get America out of the rut."

"Pay your fair share" ... Unless your last name is Biden!

Lots of dems define it as "right up to to the point where I would have to pay more".

So this is how the dems are going to get rid of the senile old man. A lawsuit (brought by ultra liberal california, the land of fruits, nuts, and flakes) against a pos worthless 53 year old punk is going to ensnare his dementia ridden old man and ruin his chances for the dem nomination. Biden wouldn’t cooperate so they are allowing justice to take place.
