Biden Crime Family / Hunter Biden’s legal defense has a problem: The patron paying the bills is running out of cash

Kevin Morris, a Hollywood entertainment lawyer who has loaned millions to the president’s son, has told associates he is tapped out.

Less than a month before the start of his first trial, Hunter Biden may be losing a key financial lifeline.

Kevin Morris, a Hollywood entertainment lawyer who has long supported the president’s son, has told associates that he has run out of resources to help fund Biden’s legal defense, according to a person close to Morris who was granted anonymity to discuss private conversations.

“The reason Kevin got involved financially in the first place was that he could see that no one was going to help Hunter,” said the person. “Now, four and a half years later, there’s still no help — and now Kevin is completely tapped out. So just when Hunter is facing two criminal trials starting in a few weeks, he has no resources. It’s pretty dire.”

Reached for comment about this reporting, Morris confirmed the person’s account but declined to elaborate further. A spokesperson for Biden’s legal team also declined to comment.

Biden is scheduled to begin trial on June 3 on federal gun charges in Delaware. A separate case, in which Biden is charged with federal tax crimes, is scheduled to go to trial June 20 in California.

 Biden aides worry about psychological torment as Hunter heads for trial

The president has expressed fear that his son may serve time in prison.

President Joe Biden will soon have to watch and wait as 12 jurors in his home state decide whether his son is guilty of felony gun charges — a case brought by his own Justice Department.

For the White House, the scenario of Hunter Biden’s first criminal trial, all but assured to start June 3, is an unprecedented event in American political history that they hoped never to face.

While aides insist that the White House will have no involvement in the case, brought by special counsel David Weiss, some fear it could dramatically impact the president himself, more psychologically than politically.

Three advisers granted anonymity to speak about private deliberations said they, and members of the First Family, are worried about the weight Hunter Biden’s trial will place on the president at an already difficult time for him politically. Biden has expressed fears to them about the possibility that his son will serve time in prison.

“He worries about Hunter every single day, from the moment he wakes up to the moment he goes to sleep,” said one of the three advisers. “That will only pick up during a trial.”

Immigration/Border / California ICE Detention Center Holding Only 5 Detainees due to Outdated COVID-19 Rule

California ICE Detention Center Holding Only 5 Detainees due to Outdated COVID-19 Rule



by ELIZABETH WEIBEL 15 May 2024

A detention center in California used by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency is only housing five people, despite being able to hold thousands.

The Adelanto ICE Processing Center located in southern California can hold roughly 1,940 people, however, due to an outdated coronavirus policy, only five people are currently detained in the facility, according to the New York Post.

A judge ruled in September 2020 that the Adelanto ICE Processing Center should drastically reduce its inmate population, according to the Los Angeles Times. At the time, out of the 781 inmates housed at the facility, 81 had tested positive for COVID-19, nine of whom required hospitalization.

Under the order from the judge, ICE was instructed to file a “population reduction plan” to allow inmates to maintain a distance of six feet apart, “halt intake” of any more inmates to the facility, and require staff to maintain a distance of six feet apart, among other things.

Biden Document Report / Re: Don’t forget: Biden under fire for more than faulty memory in fallout from Hur report
« Last post by mountaineer on Today at 01:04:55 pm »
Remember when Hurr released a report saying that Biden was senile during an interview?
Remember when the White House said it was misinformation & the media played along?
The White House just blocked the audio.

Editorial/Opinion/Blogs / The Biden Reelection Strategy By Victor Davis Hanson

The Biden Reelection Strategy › American Greatness
Victor Davis Hanson
5–6 minutes

Joe Biden polls at or below 40 percent approval. Historically, such unpopularity has made it almost impossible for a president to be reelected.

His age advances by the hour. His voice falters, his memory fades, and his gait is reduced to short steps, with his arms, winglike and in tandem, offering balance.

Biden is not so much an octogenarian as an unhealthy and prematurely aging 80-year-old. It is America’s irony that he is fit for almost no other job in the country other than President, which apparently allows for a 3-day-a-week ceremonial role while others in the shadows run the country.

So how does Biden become renominated and reelected, as polls show he is behind in almost every critical swing state on nearly every issue?

Answer: not by campaigning, not by championing his record, and especially not by doubling down on his neo-socialist and now unpopular agendas.

Instead, his campaign is focused on four other strategies to beat Donald Trump.

Did a Jordanian Border-Crosser Just Attempt a Terror Attack on a Marine Corps Base Near D.C.?

Cone of silence falls over local media report of a breaching attempt at Quantico
 
By Todd Bensman on May 14, 2024
 
The Potomac Local News, founded in 2010 “to help people understand what is happening in their local communities in Northern Virginia”, practices what it calls local “conservative journalistic standards” and almost prides itself on a fact of life about today’s politically bifurcated media landscape. As the online outlet explains on its “About” page”

Often overlooked by the Washington, D.C. legacy media, we’ve remained true to our community by providing local, can’t-get-it anywhere-else coverage of local government, business, and charitable organizations.

But on May 3, the little online newspaper’s Kelly Sienkowski broke a major national story with serious policy and electoral implications, but which has been overlooked by the legacy media.

At issue in Sienkowski’s story is whether the United States just experienced its first attempted terror attack by a border-crossing illegal alien from the Middle East.

Flaw and order: Trump classified documents case suffers snags

Former President Donald Trump’s four criminal cases have created an unprecedented legal gauntlet for him to run before voters have a chance to decide if he should return to the Oval Office. While Democrats cheer what they see as long-overdue accountability for the former president, some legal experts have expressed concerns that the cases — half are brought by partisan district attorneys, and the other half are overseen by the Biden Justice Department — are built on novel and unfair interpretations of the law. In this series, the Washington Examiner will take a look at the flaws that could unravel the cases against Trump. Part one explored the Fulton County case. Part two will look at the Florida case.

A straightforward indictment alleging former President Donald Trump hoarded national defense information in Florida has unraveled into a hurdle-plagued case with no clear end in sight.

The case has become rife with concerns of missteps on the part of special counsel Jack Smith, while Trump’s arguments that his charges should be dropped continue to weigh heavily as the court process plays out.

The judge has also done no favors for Smith, who has urged an expeditious prosecution at every turn. When the judge released a schedule this month, she not only left out a trial date but also pushed already-delayed deadlines out several weeks.

Below is a look at the case’s top issues.
