Republicans Tie Hunter Biden to Human Trafficking, Announce Probe

House Republicans announced an investigation into President Joe Biden’s family, including his son Hunter Biden, on Thursday just a day after winning control of the lower chamber of Congress in the midterm elections.

Republican Representative James Comer, the ranking member of the House Committee on Oversight and Reform, said during a press conference that the probe looked at Hunter Biden’s business dealings and Joe Biden’s alleged involvement in them. At one point, he alleged that one Suspicious Activity Report (SAR), a type of document that banks have to file with the Treasury Department, “connects Hunter Biden and his business associates to international human trafficking, among other illegal activities.”

“The SAR shows that Hunter Biden was conducting business with suspected human traffickers,” Comer said. “The money gained through influence peddling was funneled to a suspected criminal enterprise, again, one linked to human trafficking.” Source: NewsWeek

House Democrats Block Bill to Protect Supreme Court Justices

House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) made a unanimous consent request on the House floor to bring up S. 4160 for a vote. S. 4160, which passed the Senate by a unanimous vote, would have allocated additional security for the justices’ family members. Despite McCarthy’s request, Speaker Pelosi and the Democrats failed to comply with McCarthy’s proposal to bring the bill to vote.

Today’s Media Summed Up in a Few Words…

A Harley biker is riding by the zoo in Washington, DC when he sees a little girl leaning into the lion’s cage. Suddenly, the lion grabs her by the collar of her jacket and tries to pull her inside to slaughter her, under the eyes of her screaming parents.

The biker jumps off his Harley, runs to the cage and hits the lion square on the nose with a powerful punch.

Whimpering from the pain the lion jumps back letting go of the girl, and the biker brings her to her terrified parents, who thank him endlessly. A reporter has watched the whole event.

The reporter addressing the Harley rider says, ‘Sir, this was the most gallant and brave thing I’ve seen a man do in my whole life.’

The Harley rider replies, ‘Why, it was nothing, really, the lion was behind bars. I just saw this little kid in danger and acted as I felt I should.’

The reporter says, ‘Well, I’ll make sure this won’t go unnoticed. I’m a journalist, you know, and tomorrow’s paper will have this story on the front page…So, what do you do for a living and what political affiliation do you have?’

The biker replies, ‘I’m a U.S. Marine and a Republican.’

The journalist leaves.

The following morning the biker buys the paper to see if it indeed brings news of his actions, and reads, on the front page:

‘U.S. MARINE ASSAULTS AFRICAN IMMIGRANT AND STEALS HIS LUNCH’

That pretty much sums up the media’s approach to the news these days.

Until next time…
