A NYC college professor who held a machete to a New York Post reporter’s neck and threatened to “chop” him, avoided jail with a sweetheart plea deal.

Shellyne Rodrigeuz, 46, will avoid jail and most likely won’t even have a criminal record for holding a machete to NY Post reporter Reuven Fenton’s neck back in May.

The sweetheart plea deal includes a pathetic six months of therapy offered by corrupt prosecutors in the Bronx. This after all is New York, so it isn’t surprising such insanity is taking place in the justice system.

New York Post reported:

The unhinged Manhattan college professor who threatened to “chop” a Post reporter copped a wrist-slap plea deal in Bronx court on Monday.

Shellyne Rodriguez, 46, will dodge jail time and won’t even have a criminal record if she makes it through as little as six months in therapy under the terms of her sweetheart deal with Bronx prosecutors.

Rodriguez – who was axed from her Hunter College gig hours after the caught-on-video May 23 assault on reporter Reuven Fenton – pleaded guilty to a count of menacing, a misdemeanor, and to a harassment violation.

Her record will be wiped clean if she completes counseling at the Alternative Wellness Collective of Manhattan and stays out of trouble for up to a year, Judge Dan Quart said in Bronx Criminal Court.

Hunter College ultimately fired Rodriguez, but the unhinged educator landed a new position at Cooper Union in NYC as an adjunct instructor.

Besides therapy, she needs to simply stay out of trouble for a year and not get arrested.

She has demonstrated instability in the recent past. In May, Rodriguez lost her temper on a group of students at Hunter College for a table set up they had with pro-life materials.

In May, the Gateway Pundit reported about Shellyne Rodriguez turned herself into the police after holding a machete to a New York Post reporter.

The NYC professor who cursed at pro-life students and threatened a New York Post reporter with a machete turned herself in to police back in May – and cried victim!

Rodriguez was seen in a video previously published by Students for Life America, accusing the two students of being “triggering” and exhibiting “violent” behavior.

“You’re not educating shi-t, this is f-cking propaganda,” Rodriguez says in the video, “What are you going to do like anti-trans next?”

What does a person have to do to go to jail in New York City?

Josh Kruger

As reported earlier by Cristina Laila, Philadelphia journalist Josh Kruger was shot dead in his home in the 2300 block of Watkins Street early Monday morning after he received a mysterious threat.

39-year-old Josh Kruger was shot in the chest and abdomen seven times and was pronounced dead at the hospital shortly after 2 am.

Kruger was murdered two weeks after he was threatened by a person who calls themselves “Lady Diabla, the She-Devil of the Streets.”

“In August, someone threw a rock through his home window, he said. Then, about two weeks ago, he wrote on Facebook that someone came to his house searching for their boyfriend — “a man I’ve never met once in my entire life.” The person called themselves “Lady Diabla, the She-Devil of the Streets” and threatened him, he wrote.” according to The Philadelphia Inquirer.

The suspect(s) is still at large and there was no sign of forced entry. The motive for the murder is unclear.

Kruger wrote for The Philadelphia Inquirer and The Philadelphia Citizen.

According to reports, Kruger was a gay man who advocated for LGBTQ causes, and homeless and drug-addicted citizens.

Hours before his violent death Kruger mocked conservative Scott Adams on social media who warned about the increasing violence in US cities.

In a recent video, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) took viewers on a step-by-step walkthrough of the Cannon House Office Building to debunk Rep. Jamaal Bowman’s (D-N.Y.) claim that he had to pull a fire alarm to exit the building. Greene’s video comes in the wake of Bowman’s controversial actions, which led to the evacuation of the building and delayed a crucial vote in Congress.

Greene starts the video by standing at the “infamous door” where former middle school principal now a congressman, Bowman claimed he had to pull the fire alarm to exit and cast a vote.

“Hi, everyone. We’re at the infamous door where Jamal Bowman claims he had to pull a fire alarm to get out,” she said. She pointed out that these doors are open on weekdays and that “every member of Congress knows that.”

“But on Saturdays and Sundays, they are locked, and only certain doors are open,” Greene continues. She then pointed to a fire alarm and questioned, “Does it say, pull the fire alarm to open the exit door? Doesn’t say that.”

Greene proceeded to walk through the building, eventually reaching a staircase.

“Oh, look, there’s stairs,” she said, adding that these were the stairs used to evacuate the building after Bowman pulled the fire alarm.

“Now, here’s where you have an option,” Greene explained. Members of Congress can either continue down the stairs to the basement and walk through a tunnel to the Capitol, or they can exit out onto New Jersey Avenue.

“This one is open all the time. Not just some of the time, all the time,” she said.

Greene doesn’t hold back in accusing Bowman of intentionally disrupting the legislative process. “Jamal Bowman didn’t pull the fire alarm to try to get out of the building because he had to rush to go vote,” she stated.

She claimed that Bowman knew exactly what he was doing, especially given his background as a former middle school principal.

“I know that for a fact because I also work in the Canon Office Building, and I watched Catherine Clark, the Democrat whip, make a motion to adjourn. And then within minutes, Jamaal Bowman pulled a fire alarm. And he knew he was pulling a fire alarm because he’s a former middle school principal. And then he ran out of the building and didn’t tell anybody.”

Greene concluded the video by calling for Bowman’s prosecution, comparing his actions to those of the January 6 defendants and President Trump.

“There’s some serious problems for Jamal Bowman, and he needs to be prosecuted for violating the same federal law that they are prosecuting January 6 defendants and President Trump,” she said.

WATCH:

Let me show you how easy it is to exit the Cannon building if doors are closed for the weekend.

No need to pull a fire alarm, you simply have to walk down some steps.

Congressman Matt Gaetz on Monday officially filed the Motion to Vacate the Chair against Speaker Kevin McCarthy.

On Sunday Gaetz joined ABC’s This Week and CNN’s State of the Union following the vote last night by the US House of Representatives to avert a shutdown with a 45-Day Stop-Gap Resolution that did not fund Ukraine.

Gaetz told Jon Karl on ABC’s “This Week” that his plan to bring forward a House vote on Kevin McCarthy’s speakership.

Rep. Gaetz says this is an “exercise to show the American people who really governs you.” Adding, “I actually think Democrats are going to bail out Kevin McCarthy.”

On Monday Gaetz followed through on his promise and filed a motion to oust McCarthy from his speakership.

“Declaring the office of Speaker of the House of Representatives to be vacant. Resolved that the Speaker of the House of Representatives is hereby declared to be vacant,” Gaetz said.

There will be a vote on Gaetz’s motion within two legislative days after the resolution is properly noticed.

President Trump and his lawyers on Monday spoke to the press outside of a New York City courthouse after the conclusion of the opening day of the non-jury trial in a civil fraud case brought by Stalinist Letitia James.

Trump and an attorney for Trump said the judge conceded that the statute of limitations is in effect on transactions that closed prior to 2014, which makes up 80% of the case.

New York Judge Arthur Engoron ruled last Tuesday that Trump and Trump Org. are liable for fraud.

The judge also ruled that Mar-a-Lago is worth $18 million – of course, no one in the real estate business is buying this.

Earlier Monday President Trump blasted the radical judge as he held up a new report from Palm Beach County.

“Why are we trying a case that the appellate division of New York state has just ruled recently that we won 80% of our case and this judge refuses to acknowledge the ruling, which is plain for all to see,” Trump said.

Trump continued, “This rogue judge, a Trump hater… refuses to acknowledge the fact that we won 80% of this case, including the statute of limitations…It just came out a few minutes ago from Palm Beach County…the judge valued Mar-a-Lago at $18 million and it’s worth a billion dollars, maybe $1.5 billion.”

Trump and his lawyers emerged from the courthouse after the court session ended Monday afternoon.

President Trump said Judge Engoron conceded that the statute of limitations are in effect.

A lawyer for Trump spoke on this: “Based on the judge’s comments at the end of the trial, it would appear that he is agreeing that all the transactions that closed prior to 2014 are now out of the case.”

Trump chimed in: “Which are about 80% of the case.”

Democratic Alderman Raymond Lopez of Chicago has had enough of what is happening in his city.

Every day, more and more disturbing incidents are making the city unsafe for Chicagoans.  The Gateway Pundit reported on the brutal robbery and attack of a man in broad daylight in the Bucktown neighborhood last week.

In early September, three thugs repeatedly beat a helpless man with a metal object and now he is unable to walk.

In the spring, roaming hoards of violent teenagers repeatedly terrorized the city and rioted in the streets near Millennium Park where they smashed car windows, fired guns, and attacked citizens during the violent spree.

In radical socialist Mayor Brandon Johnson’s first 30 days in office, crime rose 38% from the prior year. In his first 100 days, there were 204 homicides.

It is so bad in the blue city that even Democrat Lopez is speaking out telling Fox News that the city’s failure to respond has left innocent people being “hunted down like prey.”

Lopez told Fox, “Things like robbery, burglary, arson, assault, even threatening elected officials like myself, do not warrant you being held on bond anymore in the state of Illinois, and criminals are taking note.”

“They become emboldened, and the deafening cry is not heard by the politicians demanding change. They only sit back as you saw, and try to stick to the script, even when the public refuses to participate.”

Democrat Congressman Jamaal Bowman has doubled down on claims that he thought the “FIRE ALARM” would open the door.

As the Gateway Pundit reported,

Communist Rep. Jamaal Bowman on Monday seemed unbothered as a reporter asked him if he’s afraid of any repercussions after he committed a crime and pulled the fire alarm in an effort to shut down a Congressional proceeding on Saturday.

Insurrectionist Bowman was caught on camera pulling the fire alarm in the Cannon building after Democrats unsuccessfully tried to adjourn the House of Representatives and go home hours before a government shutdown on Saturday evening.

Jamaal Bowman released a lame excuse on Saturday. He knows he will get away with this crime. He hates the American people.

I want to personally clear up confusion surrounding today’s events. Today, as I was rushing to make a vote, I came to a door that is usually open for votes but today would not open. I am embarrassed to admit that I activated the fire alarm, mistakenly thinking it would open the door. I regret this and sincerely apologize for any confusion this caused.

But I want to be very clear, this was not me, in any way, trying to delay any vote. It was the exact opposite — I was trying urgently to get to a vote, which I ultimately did and joined my colleagues in a bipartisan effort to keep our government open. I also met after the vote with the Sergeant at Arms and the Capitol Police, at their request, and explained what had happened. My hope is that no one will make more of this than it was. I am working hard every day, including today, to do my job, to do it well, and deliver for my constituents.

Peace and Love.

The way I see it, there are two options. First is that he is lying and pulled the alarm to obstruct the official proceedings of congress and is thus an insurrectionist by the left’s own standard. Second is that he is genuinely that dumb and read “FIRE ALARM” and assumed that was fancy talk for “door knob.”

This is hilarious.

A new electric vehicle battery factory in Kansas is demanding so much energy that the state needs to keep a coal plant open just to power it!

Japanese company Panasonic is set to receive $6.8 billion from Biden’s so-called ‘Inflation Reduction Act’ to help put more electric vehicles on the road that nobody wants.

The Cowboy State Daily reported:

A $4 billion Panasonic electric vehicle battery factory in De Soto, Kansas, will help satisfy the Biden administration’s efforts to get everyone into an EV.

It also will help extend the life of a coal-fired power plant.

Panasonic broke ground on the facility last year. The Japanese company was slated to receive $6.8 billion from the Inflation Reduction Act, which has been pouring billions into electric vehicles and battery factories as part of its effort to transition America away from fossil fuels.

The Kansas City Star reports that the factory will require between 200 and 250 megawatts of electricity to operate. That’s roughly the amount of power needed for a small city.

In testimony to the Kansas City Corporation Commission, which is the state’s equivalent of the Wyoming Public Service Commission, a representative of Evergy, the utility serving the factory, said that the 4 million-square-foot Panasonic facility creates “near term challenges from a resource adequacy perspective,” according to the newspaper.

As a result, the utility will continue to burn coal at a power plant near Lawrence, Kansas, and it will delay plants to transition units at the plant to natural gas.

This is beyond parody.

Virtually nobody wants electric vehicles.

One in five electric vehicle owners in California switched back to gas-powered because of the inconvenience of charging.

It only takes a few minutes to fill up a gas tank, yet some electric vehicles need several hours of charging to drive 35 miles.

Charging electric vehicles is a total “hassle” say 20% of EV owners surveyed between 2012 and 2018 so they’re going back to gas, researchers found.

Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-N.Y.) finds himself embroiled in another controversy. Not only did he pull a fire alarm ahead of a crucial House vote, but his office also issued talking points that labeled members of the Republican Party as “Nazis.”

On Saturday, ahead of a midnight deadline to pass a measure to avoid a government shutdown, Bowman pulled a fire alarm in the Cannon House Office Building. This action forced a temporary evacuation and delayed the vote.

According to a report by Breitbart News, Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) allegedly tore down two signs warning that a door on the second floor of the Cannon House Office Building was for emergency use only. He then proceeded to pull the fire alarm, leading to a full-scale law enforcement and emergency services response, which resulted in the evacuation of the building.

Jamaal Bowman released a lame excuse on Saturday. He knows he will get away with this crime. He hates the American people.

I want to personally clear up confusion surrounding today’s events. Today, as I was rushing to make a vote, I came to a door that is usually open for votes but today would not open.

On Monday, Jamaal Bowman continued to lie and gaslight after he committed a crime.

To make matters worse, Bowman’s office sent out a memo to Democratic colleagues suggesting talking points to defend him.

One of these talking points explicitly labeled members of the Republican Party as “Nazis.”

The memo stated, “I believe Congressman Bowman when he says this was an accident. Republicans need to instead focus their energy on the Nazi members of their party before anything else.”

Bowman backtracked after the memo was leaked for using the term “Nazi” in the memo.

“I just became aware that in our messaging guidance, there was inappropriate use of the term Nazi without my consent. I condemn the use of the term Nazi out of its precise definition. It is important to specify the term Nazi to refer to members of the Nazi party & neo-Nazis,” Bowman wrote.

Below are the suggested talking points from Jamal’s office:

• It is an extreme reach on the part of MAGA Republicans to assert that Rep Bowman intended to harm or destruct anyone or thing. The exact opposite is true: he was trying to do his job.
• Look, if you’ve been in the Capitol complex on a weekend you’d know there’s only one or two ways to get in and out and it causes confusion for staffers and members alike, but because of last minute votes caused by Republican incompetence and surprise bill drop the not all exits were staffed like usual and the signage made it even more confusing.
• Especially when you’re in a rush after Republicans drop the bill text 15 minutes before the vote and the signage on the doors is unnecessarily confusing.
• It’s clear my colleague Congressman Bowman was simply rushing to the floor to cast his vote to prevent a shutdown and support working class families.
• Voting doesn’t occur in the Cannon House Office Building, it only occurs in the Capitol.The alarm going off didn’t interrupt our business on the floor today in the slightest.
• House Republicans are obviously trying to distract from the fact they cannot govern and that they nearly shut down the federal government for no reason.
• I believe Congressman Bowman when he says this was an accident. Republicans need to instead focus their energy on the Nazi members of their party before anything else.
• There are multiple insurrectionist supporters in Congress and more who supported a coup and support Trump’s Big Lie. That’s what they should be focused on. Instead their focus on Rep. Bowman is an attempt to minimize January 6th.
• I know that we’re focused on preventing a government shutdown and working towards ensuring everyone has childcare, food on the table, and the ability to thrive.

Earlier this year, he called conservative commentator Michael Knowles a Nazi and then attacked the GOP.

“Michael Knowles is a Nazi hellbent on keeping only white men alive and in power. We cannot allow him and others to push their evil agenda and we must stand up for the transgender rights. CPAC has made one thing clear this year – they support a future run by Nazis like Knowles,” Bowman wrote.

‘Climate inaction’ would become illegal

Running too many electric lights, for too long?

It could boost your utility bill.

And it could make you a criminal.

Likewise you would be “criminal” if you are guilty of “climate inaction” by not meeting the demands of those who have submitted to the ideology that man-made global warming – changed to climate change when the warming stopped – is going to destroy life on the planet if people don’t start driving electric cars, using electricity from giant, eagle-slicing windmills and such.

Slay News explained the World Economic Forum is calling on governments around the globe to turn into criminals anyone who fails through “climate inaction.”

Severe penalties must follow, the WEF said, because those offenses would be classified as a “human rights violation.”

“In most civilized nations around the world, human rights violations are serious crimes that carry harsh punishments,” the report charged. “In the United States, punishments for human rights violations vary from a fine or imprisonment of up to one year, or both, according to the FBI.”

And, the report said, the penalties go even further: “If bodily injury results or if such acts include the use, attempted use, or threatened use of a dangerous weapon, explosives, or fire, offenders are fined or imprisoned for up to ten years or both. If a human rights violation results in death, or if such acts include kidnapping or an attempt to kidnap, aggravated sexual abuse or an attempt to commit aggravated sexual abuse, or an attempt to kill, a person can be sentenced to imprisonment for any term of years or for life or may be sentenced to death, the FBI states.”

Rhetoric that includes warnings global warming already is killing people is common these days.

“Notably, green agenda advocates, Democrats, and their allies in the corporate media are repeatedly pushing the narrative that the so-called ‘climate crisis’ is ‘killing people,'” the report said.

WEF specifically asks, online, “Is climate inaction a human rights violation?”

And it charges “climate deniers” are responsible for the “record-breaking number of heat-related deaths.”

The report explained that already, the Global Climate Change Litigation database confirms, there have been over 130 cases alleging human rights-based claims against governments.

The leftist government in Germany is furious after Elon Musk outed them for funding at least 8 German NGO ships to pick up illegal aliens off the African coast and dump them in Italy.

The international left has been doing this for years. They are actually paying for the invasion and funding NGO ships to make it possible.

The warped do-gooders from Germany believe they are “rescuing” poor Africans and giving them a better life – in Italy! There should be an immediate transfer of these thousands of illegal aliens directly to Germany after they make land in Italy.

The radical leftists in Germany are also furious with Elon Musk because he apparently supports the populist AfD party that is anti-illegal immigration in his tweet.

After Elon posted his tweet the German Foreign Office immediately tweeted out how proud they are to be “saving lives.”

Yes. And it’s called saving lives. https://t.co/7eTCbKhG8w

Elon then shot back with this epic response… “It has invasion vibes.”

So you’re actually proud of it. Interesting. Frankly, I doubt that a majority of the German public supports this. Have you run a poll?

Surely it is a violation of the sovereignty of Italy for Germany to transport vast numbers of illegal immigrants to Italian soil?

Has invasion…

— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) September 29, 2023

Germany’s Jungefreiheit covered the fireworks.

Musk follows up and talks about “invasion”
In addition: According to Italian police documents, which Focus is currently reporting on, there were already close contacts between German NGOs and smugglers between 2017 and 2020. In some organizations this is said to have gone so far that the smugglers were greeted in a friendly manner.

Musk therefore did not leave the Baerbock Ministry’s claim unanswered. He replied to the office: “ So you are really proud of it. Interesting. To be honest, I doubt that the majority of the German public supports this. Have you conducted a survey? Surely it is a violation of Italy’s sovereignty for Germany to transport large quantities of illegal immigrants onto Italian soil? Has invasion vibes.”

There is outrage in Italy
Musk publicly wrote to another user who posted a graphic showing the difference between smuggling and sea rescue: “Sounds more like human trafficking than saving lives. “

Sounds a lot more like human trafficking than saving lives.

— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) September 29, 2023

That’s because it is human trafficking – not life saving!

It is human trafficking. pic.twitter.com/wBwRSFziM7

Musk is not alone in his criticism. Even in Italy, which is the main target of German rescue tugboats, there is great outrage over the left-wing extremist German ship crews. Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni wrote an outraged letter to Chancellor Olaf Scholz in which she sharply criticized the millions in funding for NGOs, some of which even have family connections to leading Green politicians in Germany . Baerbock alone donated two million euros in tax money to the groups.

The AfD, whose election was called for in the post answered by Musk, also joined the debate. The party’s official account on Twitter replied to the entrepreneur: “The federal government is not saving lives, but risking them. In the first half of 2023, 2,500 migrants drowned in the Mediterranean, lured by German politics. “

In typical leftist fashion, after they were exposed by Elon Musk the German Greens called for censorship of Twitter.

Via JungeFreiheit – Since Musk’s contributions, there has been anger and indignation in the traffic light coalition. For example, the Green Party member of the Bundestag Sven Kindler wrote that Meloni and Musk were “fascists”.

Schön, dass das @AuswaertigesAmt vor kurzem den Beschluss des Haushaltsausschuss zur #Seenotrettung umgesetzt hat und ich kann auch gut damit leben, dass Meloni, #Musk und anderen Faschisten das nicht gefällt ‍#internationallaw #savinglives pic.twitter.com/Q3jOMoQ5WH

Joe Biden on Monday delivered remarks to celebrate the Americans with Disabilities Act from the South Lawn of the White House.

The ADA was passed more than 3 decades ago to protect the rights of those with disabilities.

Hollywood actress Selma Blair who suffers from multiple sclerosis (MS) joined Biden on the South Lawn on Monday.

Biden got very handsy with Selma Blair as she walked away from the lectern (of course).

WATCH:

Biden mumbled through his remarks and at one point he botched the name of a Democrat lawmaker.

“Scanlon – I keep telling them I think we’re related. I found when I went to Ireland, they did my genealogy – I got a Scanlon background,” Biden said.

“So, I may be your 19th cousin,” he said.

Josh Kruger

A Philadelphia journalist was shot dead in his home in the 2300 block of Watkins Street early Monday morning after he received a mysterious threat.

39-year-old Josh Kruger was shot in the chest and abdomen seven times and was pronounced dead at the hospital shortly after 2 am.

Kruger was murdered two weeks after he was threatened by a person who calls themselves “Lady Diabla, the She-Devil of the Streets.”

“In August, someone threw a rock through his home window, he said. Then, about two weeks ago, he wrote on Facebook that someone came to his house searching for their boyfriend — “a man I’ve never met once in my entire life.” The person called themselves “Lady Diabla, the She-Devil of the Streets” and threatened him, he wrote.” according to The Philadelphia Inquirer.

The suspect(s) is still at large and there was no sign of forced entry. The motive for the murder is unclear.

Kruger wrote for The Philadelphia Inquirer and The Philadelphia Citizen.

According to reports, Kruger was a gay man who advocated for LGBTQ causes, and homeless and drug-addicted citizens.

Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner (D) released a statement on the Kruger’s death:

“Josh Kruger lifted up the most vulnerable and stigmatized people in our communities – particularly unhoused people living with addiction. As an openly queer writer who wrote about his own journey surviving substance use disorder and homelessness, it was encouraging to see Josh join the Kenney administration as a spokesperson for the Office of Homeless Services. Josh deserved to write the ending of his personal story. As with all homicides, we will be in close contact with the Philadelphia Police as they work to identify the person or persons responsible so that they can be held to account in a court of law. I extend my deepest condolences to Josh’s loved ones and to all those mourning this loss,” Krasner said.

NBC News reported:

A Philadelphia journalist and community advocate was fatally shot inside his home overnight, according to police.

Police were notified of a shooting at Josh Kruger’s home in the 2300 block of Watkins Street at 1:28 a.m. Monday.

Kruger, 39, sustained seven gunshot wounds to the chest and abdomen. He was taken to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead at 2:13 a.m.

No arrests have been made, and a motive is still under investigation, police said.

Kruger was known in the Philadelphia community as a social justice advocate and a longtime journalist, writing for platforms such as The Philadelphia Inquirer and The Philadelphia Citizen. He also worked for Mayor Jim Kenney’s administration as a spokesperson for the Office of Homeless Services.

The disturbing liaisons between Hunter Biden and a multitude of individuals allegedly linked to sex-trafficking rings have been known for quite a while.

Jim Hoft wrote about that 3 years ago almost to the day, in a groundbreaking article based on material from Hunter’s ‘Laptop from Hell’.

But now, the British Daily Mail is reporting on a new, previously unreported upon document that further demonstrate how shady money from overseas ended up in the hands and bank accounts of people involved in (or victims of) sex trafficking.

Wells Fargo Financial Crime Investigators (FCI) suspected  Joe Biden’s son was associated with a ‘sex trafficking ring’ and ‘falsified’ checks to pay prostitutes.

In the never publicly released ‘Suspicious Activity Reports’ (SARs) reviewed by the Daily Mail, we learn Hunter’s accounts were being monitored as late as December 2019.

The SAR was filed to the Department of the Treasury on December 17, 2019, and pointed out to 25 individuals linked to the suspected ring.

It tracked $1,162,732 sent to Hunter’s company Owasco from partner and family friend, Rob Walker.

Daily Mail reported:

“The Wells Fargo investigators said Hunter withdrew $105,492 in cash from Owasco and $263,978 from his personal accounts between February and November 2017 across nine states – and even made some withdrawals in Monaco.”

The cash withdrawals coincide with period of heavy drug use and lots of prostitutes, as per the document.

“The Treasury documents also said Hunter made nine ‘peer-to-peer transfers’ – such as Zelle – totaling $30,900, including to a female friend of Hunter’s in her 30s previously linked to a ‘sex trafficking ring’ in other Treasury reports.”

This female friend’s identity, a woman once arrested for methamphetamine possession, was not released by the paper. But people familiar with the ‘laptop from hell’ know her image very well.

Photos dated September 2018 show him biting her ear, and pulling on her hair while is kneeling on a bed.

The document states that Hunter’s ‘high volumes of cash transactions’ were potentially linked to ‘prostitution and or drugs’.

“‘Wells Fargo’s financial crimes investigations conducted a continued review of customer Robert Hunter Biden as well as several related customers for funds derived from unknown sources, the unusual movement of funds, and unusually high volumes of cash transactions that appeared related to prostitution and or drugs,’ the investigators’ report said.”

Hunter received unknown sources of shady funds, which funded huge cash withdrawals, as well as outgoing transfers, and outgoing checks.

Some of the checks were split into smaller amounts ‘for no clear economic purpose’.

“‘The overall activity appeared related to prostitution or drugs. The review also found that several customers suspected of participating in a sex trafficking ring associated with Biden continued to have what appeared to be an unusual movement of funds in their accounts’.”

One suspected sex-trafficking ring member that Hunter is demonstrated to have sent money to was Ekaterina Pitula.

A 39-year-old Russian owner of a California retail store, she had 25 cash deposits flagged totaling $18,728 in her personal and business accounts.

The money was then wired to a Chinese account of a company called HECNY International Ltd, to another woman’s account in Russia, and to a man in Ukraine.

Republican House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer is finally investigating Hunter’s alleged links with sex trafficking rings – including with a demand of records from the Department of Justice.

Joe Biden’s announced war on foster parents of faith already has hit a snag.

The Daily Caller News Foundation reported just days ago that Biden’s Department of Health and Human Services wants to prevent foster parents who have religious objections to pushing transgender ideologies – and body-mutilating surgeries – on children to be banned from fostering them.

Under Biden’s proposed rule, children in the foster care system will only be placed with families who the HHS classifies as a “safe and appropriate placement,” meaning families must use a child’s “identified pronouns” and “chosen name,” the rule said. “Safe” families will undergo extensive training to “provide” for the child’s “needs,” and the state will transfer fostered children away from families who do not “support” their “self-identified gender identity and expression,” upon completion of an investigation.

But now a federal court has affirmed South Carolina’s decision to continue partnering with faith-based foster care ministries that provide loving homes to children.

In two opinions, the court ordered the protection of the state’s freedom to partner with faith-based agencies that serve children in need. The rulings follow the Supreme Court’s recent ruling in Fulton v. Philadelphia that the U.S. Constitution protects Catholic Social Services’ right to stay faithful to its religious beliefs while still serving foster children in Philadelphia.

“This is a major victory for the children in South Carolina’s foster care system who were at risk of losing out on loving homes,” explained Lori Windham, vice president at the Becket Fund for Religious Freedom.

“The attempt to shutter faith-based foster care agencies and decrease the number of foster homes for these kids violated the law and common sense. We are glad that South Carolina stood up for foster children and faith-based agencies and that the court protected them.”

The lost cause had been pursued by the ACLU and Americans United.

The federal court decision affirmed South Carolina’s decision to “do the right thing: continue partnering with faith-based foster care ministries that provide loving homes for children,” the report said.

The cases are Rogers v. Health and Human Services and Maddonna v. Health and Human Services. In both, the ACLJ and Americans United for Separation of Church and State sued Gov. Henry McMaster, demanding he and the state adopt the organizations’ absolute intolerance for the state’s process of working with religious foster agencies.

McMaster had issued an executive order protecting the religious freedom of foster agencies in South Carolina. However, the ACLU recruited individuals to sue South Carolina over the inclusion of a single faith-based agency, Miracle Hill. Rather than reach out to any other organization or to the South Carolina Department of Social Services, the plaintiffs went straight to federal court.

The report on the new rule said Biden also plans to make foster parents guilty of “neglect” or “abuse” if they “retaliate” against a child for their “gender identity.”

That aggression would extend even to the issue of foster parents limiting a small child’s access to “health care supportive of their sexual orientation and gender identity and expression.”

That plan now is going through a 60-day public comment period.

President Trump on Monday briefly spoke to the press outside of a New York City courthouse before heading back in on the opening day of the non-jury trial in a civil fraud case brought by Stalinist Letitia James.

New York judge Arthur Engoron last Tuesday refused to dismiss NY Attorney General Letitia James’ lawsuit against President Trump.

Judge Arthur Engoron ruled last Tuesday that Trump and Trump Org. are liable for fraud.

The judge also ruled that Mar-a-Lago is worth $18 million – of course, no one in the real estate business is buying this.

Trump said Mar-a-Lago is worth over $1 billion.

President Trump blasted the radical judge as he held up a new report from Palm Beach County.

“Why are we trying a case that the appellate division of New York state has just ruled recently that we won 80% of our case and this judge refuses to acknowledge the ruling, which is plain for all to see,” Trump said.

Trump continued, “This rogue judge, a Trump hater… refuses to acknowledge the fact that we won 80% of this case, including the statute of limitations.”

“It just came out a few minutes ago from Palm Beach County…the judge valued Mar-a-Lago at $18 million and it’s worth a billion dollars, maybe $1.5 billion.”

Trump held up new reporting from Palm Beach County and said, “Industry insiders that say that say valuation of Mar-a-Lago cited by judge is based on a misunderstanding of basic real estate practice.”

Trump said the judge didn’t ‘misunderstand’ anything – “this is a rigged court.”

Last month New York Attorney General Letitia James alleged Trump overstated his net worth by billions of dollars to obtain loans, get insurance benefits and manipulate taxes.

Letitia James in the court filing said that Trump overstated his net worth between 2011 and 2021.

Not only did a previous report find that Trump actually undervalued his assets, there is no victim in this case.

No insurance company is suing Trump.

No bank or lending institution is suing Trump

Trump’s loans and payments are all current. Lending institutions made money on Trump. Not one insurer lost money.

Letitia James vowed to search for any crime so she can prosecute Trump.

And a rogue Trump-hating judge unilaterally stripped Trump’s business licenses and ordered the dissolution of Trump Org. basted on James’s Stalinist witch hunt.

REMINDER: New York Attorney General Letitia James ran for the position promising to prosecute President Trump.

She spent over 5 years searching for a crime.

When she couldn't find one, she turned to filing a civil lawsuit and making up crap about how Mar-a-Lago is apparently… pic.twitter.com/KHrIRPj06y
