Today’s Top 5:

1.Hunter Biden to Plead Guilty to Federal Charges

President Joe Biden’s son has agreed to plead guilty to federal crimes in a deal with the U.S. government, prosecutors said on June 20.

Hunter Biden, 53, has admitted to intentionally failing to pay federal income tax, U.S. Attorney David Weiss said in a letter to the U.S. court in Delaware. Hunter Biden plans to plead guilty in an upcoming hearing to violations of a law that forbids “willfully [failing]” to file tax returns or pay taxes.

Hunter Biden received more than $1.5 million in taxable income in 2017 and more than $1.5 million more in 2018, according to an indictment. He was required by law to pay more than $100,000 in income tax for his earnings each of those years. But he “did willfully fail” to pay the tax.

2.Conservatives Slam DOJ’s ‘Sweetheart Plea Deal’ for Hunter Biden: ‘Two-Tiered Justice System’

Conservatives blasted the “sweetheart plea deal” federal prosecutors have given to Hunter Biden, where he will plead guilty to two counts of “willful failure to pay federal income tax” and enter a “pretrial diversion program” for a firearm offense.

The deal indicates that Hunter Biden will not face prison time, as Breitbart News Senior Editor Joel Pollak noted.

3.Judge Sets Trial Date in Trump’s Classified Documents Case

Former President Donald Trump is scheduled to go on trial in August, according to an order handed down on June 20.

“This case is hereby set for a Criminal Jury Trial during the two-week period commencing August 14, 2023, or as soon thereafter as the case may be called,” Cannon, a Trump appointee, wrote.

The trial will likely end up happening later than August, Politico reporter Kyle Cheney said, based on a review of how Cannon has handled other criminal cases.

United Nations Planning Digital ID Linked To Bank Accounts

The United Nations (UN) is planning to introduce a global digital ID system that is linked to individuals’ bank accounts.

The plan, which is similar to the system developed by the World Economic Forum (WEF), is outlined in three new policy briefs from the UN titled, “A Global Digital Compact, Reforms to the International Financial Architecture, and The Future of Outer Space Governance.”

The goal of the briefs is to advance UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres’s “vision for the future.”

Officially titled “Our Common Agenda,” Guterres’ “vision” should be given the green light in September 2024 during an event dubbed, “The Summit for the Future.”

UN Adopts Landmark High Seas Treaty to Protect International Waters

The United Nations on June 19 adopted a landmark legally binding international marine biodiversity agreement to govern the high seas following nearly two decades of fierce negotiations.

The agreement, known as the High Seas Treaty or the Biodiversity Beyond National Jurisdiction Treaty, was adopted by the Intergovernmental Conference on Marine Biodiversity of Areas Beyond National Jurisdiction (BBNJ) and is the first-ever legally binding agreement of its kind, requiring international cooperation.

It falls under the U.N.’s Convention on the Law of Sea, an international agreement establishing a legal framework for all marine and maritime activities which went into effect in 1994.

Hey, Big Spender: European Commission Announces $55 Billion Cash Package for Ukraine

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has proposed a massive €50 billion ($54.5 billion) fund until 2027 for Ukraine, cash likely in many cases to flow back to big European firms and funds.

Ursula von der Leyen, the President of the European Union’s executive Commission branch announced a long-discussed new framework to the Union’s Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF), a package of funding presently running from 2021 to 2027. Agreed between member states and negotiated internally, the present agreement was said to run to nearly €140 billion ($153bn) but has, by von der Leyen’s admission, come up short when met with a series of crises after crisis this decade.

Zelenskyy Questions US Presidential Candidates Calling for Ukraine Peace Deal: ‘Are They Ready to Go to War?’

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, in a recent interview with NBC News, pushed back on comments from Republican politicians who are hesitant to keep bolstering Ukraine’s military against Russia.

Zelenskyy joined NBC News to talk about Ukraine’s ongoing counteroffensive and his requests for additional weapons and aircraft for Ukrainian forces. During the Thursday interview, NBC correspondent Richard Engel asked Zelenskyy to respond to Republican presidential candidate Ron DeSantis’s characterization of the Ukraine-Russia conflict as a “territorial dispute” and fellow Republican candidate Donald Trump’s vow to quickly end the conflict and sue for peace between the two countries.

“If any candidate thinks supporting Ukraine is too costly, are they ready to go to war? Are they ready to fight? Send their children? Die?” Zelenskyy said. “They will have to do it anyway if NATO enters this war, and if Ukraine fails and Russia occupies us, they will move on to the Baltics or Poland or some other NATO country. And then the U.S. will have to choose between keeping NATO or entering the war.”

IMF Managing Director: “We Are Working Hard On A Global CBDC”

“If we are to be successful, CBDCs could not be fragmented national propositions.”

During a presentation at a conference in Morocco, Kristalina Georgievahe the managing director of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) announced that the global body is “working hard on the concept of a global CBDC platform.”

Georgieva declared that Central Bank Digital Currencies need to be interoperable between countries, noting “If we are to be successful, CBDCs could not be fragmented national propositions.”

“To have transactions more efficient and fairer, we need systems that connect countries,” Georgieva continued, adding “In other words, we need interoperability.”

The IMF MD argued that global digital currencies would “give more people access to financial services and bring the cost down,” adding that “CBDCs can provide for more resilient and efficient payment systems,” and “can be a cheaper way, and a quicker way, to do cross-border payments, to pass remittances… and also simplify other transfers.”

China’s Floundering Economy Triggers Plunge in Global Stocks and Oil Prices

Stocks and futures dropped across Asia, Europe, and the United States on Tuesday due to growing anxiety about the Chinese economy and the Communist regime’s refusal to deal honestly with its systemic problems.

The trigger for Tuesday’s stock slide was China announcing a much smaller interest rate reduction than anticipated. Reuters quoted economists who found Beijing’s policy moves profoundly disappointing, although some held out hope for strong action after the next Politburo meeting in July

Florida Officials Come in Contact with 10K Migrants, Including MS-13 Gang Member on Terror Watch List

Florida officials have come in contact with roughly 10,000 migrants, including an MS-13 gang member on the U.S. terror watch list, as part of Operation Lone Star, Gov. Ron DeSantis announced this week.

Proposed ‘Hate Speech’ Law in Michigan Threatens First Amendment Rights, Conservatives Warn

A bill moving through the Democrat-controlled Michigan State Legislature would make it easier for prosecutors to bring felonious “hate crime” charges against dissident speech.

The possible implications for preachers, school administrators, teachers, parents, politicians, and citizen activists have alarmed conservatives concerned about the effect the bill may have on free speech.

The proposed legislation, HB 4474, would amend the state’s Ethnic Intimidation Act of 1988 in order to consider it a hate crime if a person is accused of causing “severe mental anguish” to another individual by means of perceived verbal intimidation or harassment.

Trump Responds to Charges Against Hunter Biden

Former President Donald Trump and other Republicans on June 20 denounced the criminal plea deal that federal authorities reached with President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden.

An attorney representing Hunter Biden said his client was taking responsibility for offenses that occurred while he struggled with drug addiction. Trump and others decried the agreement for letting Hunter Biden off easy.

In a post on his Truth Social platform on June 20, Trump said the Department of Justice gave the president’s son a free pass.

“Wow! The corrupt Biden DOJ just cleared up hundreds of years of criminal liability by giving Hunter Biden a mere ‘traffic ticket.’ Our system is BROKEN!” Trump wrote.

“People are going wild over the Hunter Biden Scam with the DOJ!”

Emails Show Burisma Executive Opened Maltese Bank Account for Hunter Biden

Burisma Holdings executive Vadym Pozharskyi informed Hunter Biden in 2016 that he was opening a Maltese bank account for him, emails from Hunter Biden’s laptop show.

Pozharskyi was an associate of Mykola Zlochevsky, who allegedly paid Hunter and Joe Biden each $5 million in a pay-for-play scheme. According to Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA), an FBI informant document indicates Mykola Zlochevsky allegedly kept 17 audio recordings of his conversations with them as an “insurance policy.”

‘I Can Go Into Anyone’s House at Any Time’: Judiciary Committee Investigates IRS Agent Threatening Taxpayer

An IRS agent used a fake identity to approach and threaten a taxpayer, following which House Judiciary Committee chairman Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) sent a letter to IRS Commissioner Daniel Werfel seeking further information on the incident.

The incident occurred on April 25, 2023, when an IRS agent identifying as “Bill Haus” with the agency’s Criminal Division visited the home of a taxpayer residing in Marion, Ohio, according to the June 16 letter (pdf). The agent initially lied to the taxpayer that he was visiting with regard to her improper estate filings and that she owed a “substantial amount” to the IRS. Before his visit, the taxpayer had not received any notification from the tax agency regarding unpaid dues on the estate.

After the taxpayer showed proof that she had paid all taxes for the estate, agent Haus then said that the true purpose of his visit was not related to the estate but that the taxpayer allegedly had several delinquent tax return filings. He then proceeded to provide documents for the taxpayer to fill out—including submitting sensitive personal information.

ECONOMY & BUSINESS 

Financial Hardship Surges as Cost-of-Living Crisis Squeezes Workers

Workers in America and around the world are reporting significantly higher levels of financial hardship compared to last year, as a cooling economy and high inflation has left a growing number cash-strapped and planning to quit in search of better-paid jobs.

Despite a softening economy and workers reporting growing levels of financial stress, the “Great Resignation” seems poised to continue, according to the latest PriceWaterhouse Coopers (PwC) workforce study.

Just over a quarter (26 percent) of workers surveyed by PwC plan to change employers in the next 12 months in hopes of finding better paid work, up from 19 percent last year.

Around 42 percent said they are planning to demand pay raises to offset the higher cost of living, up from 35 percent last year.

“With the ongoing economic uncertainty, we see a global workforce that wants more pay and more meaning from their work,” Bhushan Sethi, joint global leader of PwC’s people & organization practice, said in a statement.

While inflationary pressures have eased in recent months, they remain well above pre-pandemic levels, squeezing households and undercutting financial well-being.

Anheuser-Busch Exec Has Candid Response to Bud Light Backlash From Customers

An executive with Bud Light maker Anheuser-Busch said the boycott against the brand was a “wake-up call” and claimed the light beer will make a comeback.

Bud Light, in a social media promotional campaign, produced a beer can with transgender activist Dylan Mulvaney in early April, drawing immediate backlash. Some country singers and conservative influencers suggested that consumers not purchase the beer, causing sales to drop in every consecutive week following the Mulvaney backlash.

“It’s tough to see the controversial and divisive debates that have been happening in the U.S. in the last couple of weeks involving lots of brands and companies, including and especially Bud Light,” Anheuser-Busch’s global chief marketing officer, Marcel Marcondes, told the Cannes Lions International Festival, according to a report from AdAge. “It’s tough exactly because what we do is all about bringing people together.”

Elaborating, Marcondes said the backlash was a “wake-up call” for marketers like himself to be “very humble” amid controversy and during “times like this.”

“That’s what we’re doing, being very humble, and really reminding ourselves of what we should do best every day, which is to really understand our consumers. Which is to really celebrate and appreciate every consumer that loves our brands—but in a way that can make them be together, not apart,” Marcondes told a crowd at the festival.

But he stressed that Bud Light, which recently saw its sales drop to No. 2 behind Modelo Especial, will ultimately make a comeback.

Bud Light “exists to make beer easy to drink and easy to enjoy. That’s what we all, as a team, will be doing moving forward as a group,” the executive also said. “That’s what leaders do. Bud Light is coming back. It’s going all around the country, reconnecting with consumers, moving forward. That’s what you can expect from Bud Light in the U.S.”

The Big ‘Keurig Secret’ Shocks Coffee Lovers

What’s wrong with the K-Cups you’ve been using?

With typical K-Cups, you’re paying a premium price for a product that’s been sitting in a warehouse for months on end. But when it comes to good coffee, it’s important that it’s fresh! Coffee experts warn that the oil contained in coffee loses its flavor-giving properties after only a few weeks of storage. Drinking this old and stale coffee is like reheating a pizza in the microwave – it’s just not as good as pizza fresh out of the oven!

Keurig’s K-Cups have another big problem: you’re paying for the logo on the K-Cup, not what’s in it. It’s common knowledge that large corporations spend millions of dollars on advertising – but nobody really understands what that means, or how much of your dollars aren’t going to the product you’re drinking. Up to 80% of the price of your coffee isn’t going to the coffee, but into getting you to buy it. It’s like paying for a new Mustang and getting an old Ford F-Series.

Coffee Lover Discovers Unbelievable Alternative

Right now, we’ve only seen one company manage to bring premium coffee to K-Cup users. Angelino’s Coffee, a small coffee maker in California, brings premium coffee to coffee drinkers everywhere by producing small batches of coffee, freshly packaging it into Keurig compatible Cups ready to ship out in a day’s notice. By choosing premium coffee beans, and skipping the large warehouse storage – Americans can finally drink premium coffee from their Keurig coffee maker with Angelino’s Coffee.

FBI Make-Work Entrapment Schemes: Creating Criminals in Order to Arrest Them

Commentary from John Whitehead – We’re not dealing with a government that exists to serve its people, protect their liberties and ensure their happiness.

Rather, we are the unfortunate victims of the diabolical machinations of a make-works program carried out on an epic scale whose only purpose is to keep the powers-that-be permanently (and profitably) employed.

Case in point: the FBI.

The government’s henchmen have become the embodiment of how power, once acquired, can be so easily corrupted and abused. Indeed, far from being tough on crime, FBI agents are also among the nation’s most notorious lawbreakers.

Whether the FBI is planting undercover agents in churches, synagogues and mosques; issuing fake emergency letters to gain access to Americans’ phone records; using intimidation tactics to silence Americans who are critical of the government, or persuading impressionable individuals to plot acts of terror and then entrapping them, the overall impression of the nation’s secret police force is that of a well-dressed thug, flexing its muscles and doing the boss’ dirty work.

Clearly, this is not a government agency that appears to understand, let alone respect, the limits of the Constitution.

Indeed, this same government agency has a pattern and practice of entrapment that involves targeting vulnerable individuals, feeding them with the propaganda, know-how and weapons intended to turn them into terrorists, and then arresting them as part of an elaborately orchestrated counterterrorism sting.

Basically, it works like this: in order to justify their crime-fighting superpowers, the FBI manufactures criminals by targeting vulnerable individuals and feeding them anti-government propaganda; then, undercover agents and informants equip the targeted individuals with the training and resources to challenge what they’ve been indoctrinated into believing is government corruption; and finally, the FBI arrests the targeted individuals for engaging in anti-government, terrorist activities.

This is what passes for the government’s perverse idea of being tough on crime.

Groundbreaking youth-led climate trial comes to an end in Montana

A groundbreaking climate trial came to an early close on Tuesday as lawyers on each side presented a very different picture of who can be held responsible for the climate crisis.

Attorneys representing the lawsuit’s young challengers said Montana officials and agencies must be held accountable for exacerbating the crisis, and thereby violating the plaintiffs’ state constitutional rights. But the defense argued that climate change is a global problem, and that if Montana is contributing to it, plaintiffs should work to change that through the legislature.

The trial for Held v Montana began in the state’s first judicial district court in the capital city of Helena last week, marking the first constitutional climate trial in US history.

A ruling will now follow from Judge Kathy Seeley, who has been hearing the case, with expectations that this could take several weeks to emerge.

House Hunting for Preppers: 15 Important Questions to Ask

House hunting for preppers adds a level of consideration above the typical “must haves” in a home. Anyone who has moved from one home to another knows it’s both stressful and exciting.
My family just moved from Northern Alabama to Central Florida in August. We had our list of “must haves” to give to our realtor: open floor plan with 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a fenced in yard and an easy commute to work for my husband.

However, since we are preppers, we also prepared a separate list of questions to ask about each property that related directly to preparedness. These are questions you should ponder when moving into a new home and, especially, when you’re house hunting as preppers.

Planned Parenthood CEO Wants Insurance Firms to Fund and Promote Elective Abortions

The CEO of the United States’ largest abortion provider is pushing for insurance companies to fund and become advocates for elective abortions.

Alexis McGill Johnson, the CEO of Planned Parenthood Federation of America, wants insurance firms to include abortion without deductibles in their health plans, she said in a recent interview with MedCity News at the AHIP (America’s Health Insurance Plans) 2023 conference in Portland. A deductible is the amount that an individual pays for their health care services before insurance kicks in.

For instance, a person with an insurance plan having $1,000 in deductible will have to first pay the $1,000 of a medical bill themselves. After that, the insurance companies take on the cost. Most health insurance plans do not cover any elective, or non-emergency, procedures, including abortion.

Drug-resistant ‘super gonorrhea’ spreading, shocking billboards warn

Doctors are alarmed over a new strain of gonorrhea — a common sexually transmitted infection — that is almost incurable.

And gonorrhea rates continue to climb: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports 1.6 million new cases each year, and half of those are resistant to antibiotics.

To clap back against the scourge of drug-resistant gonorrhea, the AIDS Healthcare Foundation recently started an ambitious public information campaign.

Billboards across America now warn of a “GONORRHEA ALERT!” in letters several feet high, with an image of a cruise ship hitting an iceberg.

The ad reminds people that with icebergs and STIs, “the risk is much larger than what you see on the surface,” Mike McVicker-Weaver, an AHF regional director, told NBC News.

How Many Forever Chemicals Are in Your Contact Lenses?

Mamavation, in partnership with Environmental Health News, had 18 different brands of contact lenses tested for organic fluorine, a marker for PFAS

All the contact lenses tested positive for fluorine, at levels ranging from 105 to 20,700 parts per million (ppm)

While 44% of the contact lenses tested contained fluorine at a level over 4,000 ppm, 22% contained more than 18,000 ppm

A large population-based study conducted in China found exposure to PFAS increased the risk of visual impairment

PFAS is likely used in contact lenses to make them soft and allow oxygen to flow through, but the chemicals are linked to reproductive and developmental problems, cancer, liver disease and more

Emissions of COVID-19 among asymptomatic individuals are relatively low, according to the findings of a new experimental study that intentionally infected patients.

The study was published in the weekly peer-reviewed The Lancet medical journal on June 9.

The research was conducted at the quarantine unit at the Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust in London, UK, between March 6 and July 8, 2021, with the aim of understanding exactly when infected individuals are generally contagious and how to detect or predict contagiousness in order to reduce transmission in future pandemics.

Rand Paul: “Bill Gates Is Largest Funder Of Trying To Find Viruses In Caves And Bring Them To Big Cities”

enator Rand Paul teed off on globalist Bill Gates Sunday, heavily intimating that the billionaire’s obsession with funding research into deadly viruses led directly to the COVID pandemic.

Appearing on Fox News, Paul noted that Gates visited China last week.

“Bill Gates is the largest funder of trying to find these viruses in remote caves and bring them to big cities,” Paul asserted, referring to gain of function research.

“So what happened in China is they went eight to 10 hours south of Wuhan, two to 300ft deep into a cave, found viruses, and took them back to a city of 15 million,” Paul further explained.

“There are many, many scientists who think that Bill Gates is wrong in funding this,” he added.

“We don’t need to be searching for viruses that may never interact with man. And it’s worse than that. They bring viruses that we may never interact with, they bring them back to the lab, but then they manipulate them by combining them with other viruses to create viruses that don’t exist in nature,” Paul continued.

“But this has largely been funded by Bill Gates. He funds the WHO more than most countries do. So there’s a responsibility there… I think he’s inadvertently helped to create something that the biggest danger to mankind right now is something that he’s been funding,” The Senator further noted

Democrat Attorneys General Respond to Target Boycott Over ‘Pride Month’ Items

Democrat prosecutors sent a letter to Target Corp. after it removed some of its “Pride Month” merchandise last month in the midst of boycotts.

A coalition of 15 Democrat attorneys general sent a letter to Target CEO Brian Cornell, saying that the decision to pull LGBT products—including clothing for small children—is a setback for the “march for social progress.”

“While we understand the basis for this action, we are also concerned it sends a message that those who engage in hateful and disruptive conduct can cause even large corporations to succumb to their bullying, and that they have the power to determine when LGBTQIA+ consumers will feel comfortable in Target stores—or anywhere in society,” the group wrote in a letter (pdf) on Tuesday.

Vivek Ramaswamy, ‘Shark Tank’ Host Mark Cuban Spar Over ‘Woke’ Capitalism

Vivek Ramaswamy, a 2024 Republican presidential candidate, is warning that corporations that engage in so-called “woke” practices run the risk of alienating their customers and expanding the division among Americans.

“When those businesses wade into social disputes, not only is that often bad for business . . . it’s bad for our civic culture in our country,” Ramaswamy said in an interview with Fox News on Sunday.

Ramaswamy—whose business experience includes working at a hedge fund and founding the biotechnology company Roivant Sciences—noted recent widespread boycotts of Anheuser-Busch and Target for wading into LGBT social issues. Anheuser-Busch has been facing a boycott since April after the company sent transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney a set of personalized Bud Light cans to mark the one-year anniversary of Mulvaney’s transition.

Target also caught backlash when it rolled out a line of new products for Pride Month, including children’s book titles like “Pride 1,2,3,” “Bye Bye, Binary,” “I’m Not a Girl,” and “The Pronoun Book,” as well as women’s bathing suits with a “tuck-friendly” feature for concealing the wearer’s male genitalia. Both Target and Anheuser-Busch have lost billions in valuation since the start of these sustained boycotts.

Ramasamy offered his criticism of “woke” corporate practices in direct response to comments by entrepreneur and “Shark Tank” host Mark Cuban. During an interview with the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette on June 11, Cuban defended the idea of corporations continuing to wade into divisive social and political topics that critics consider “woke.”

“There is a reason almost all the top 10 market cap companies in the U.S. can be considered ‘woke.’ It’s good business,” Cuban told the Pittsburgh area newspaper.

Cuban suggested businesses facing “boycotts” could simply wait out the negative backlash.
