FBI informant Accused of Lying About Joe and Hunter Biden Pleads Guilty

Posted By Rod Kaufman

"Alexander Smirnov is set to plead guilty to four charges, including tax evasion and obstructing justice by providing false information to the FBI, according to a court filing in California on Thursday."

"Smirnov had falsely told the FBI in 2020 that Burisma, a Ukrainian energy company, was illicitly paying off Joe Biden while he was vice president, and his son Hunter, who was on the company’s board."

"Under the plea agreement, prosecutors and the defendant are asking the judge to sentence Smirnov to between four and six years in prison."

"Smirnov’s admissions that are part of his plea make clear a major accusation of corruption between Burisma and the Bidens, which fueled conservative attacks of the now-president and his son, were false."

Do you think Faux news will even carry the story and inform their viewership? Will the supporter of the Trump "JD" Putin-commie triade acknowledge he was wrong?

Trump Said He Won On 2 Issues: Grocery Prices & Immigration, So Now He Says...

Posted By Rod Kaufman

"President-elect Trump said it will be “very hard” to lower grocery prices now that they have risen, but he predicted they will come down."

"In a wide-ranging interview with Time magazine, Trump struck a more measured tone than he did on the campaign trail."


"Trump frequently blamed the Biden administration for high grocery prices during the 2024 campaign, often railing on the campaign trail against hefty price increases for bacon, cereal, crackers and other items."

“We’ll get them down,” Trump told shoppers during a September visit to a Pennsylvania grocery store."

"In a speech in August in North Carolina, Trump told voters, “From the day I take the oath of office, we will rapidly drive prices down and make America affordable again.”

“Prices will come down. You just watch,” he continued. “They’ll come down, and they’ll come down fast. Not only with insurance, with everything.”

I wonder how long it'll be before buyer's remorse sets in and people realize they've been taken for a ride by a con-job?

Your theories about the drones

Did you hear what this dirtbag Biden is doing with the border wall?  He's auctioning it off to people starting at 5 bucks per section, just to make it more difficult for Trump to continue building the wall.

These leftists hate this country. He is without question the most vile scumbag ever to sit in the WH.  

They are as rotten as they can get.

"If the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' (USACE) response to Newsweek in 2023 aligns with Friday's reports, it might not be as nefarious as Crane believes. A spokesperson said at the time that the materials were being disposed of in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulations."

"USACE has already transferred approximately $154 million worth of the roughly $260 million of bollard panels and other materials in accordance with standard excess property disposition procedures," a spokesperson said at the time."

But, not to worry, Trump and Richie assured Mexico would pay for the wall anyway...

Is Newsweek FAR LEFT enough for you or do you need another Leftist source?

I am guessing that since you never could find the Hunter laptop story after you said that the New York Post was fabricating the story when they broke it that you probably needed a computer that didn't cover up any story detrimental to Biden and his administration.  


You might want to learn how to use a computer.  You can't seem to find anything ever.  

Is your computer search engine stuck on the Daily Beast or does it only give You NPR as sources?
I already cited Newsweek in post #4. Of course, Rich chooses to overlook this:

"If the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' (USACE) response to Newsweek in 2023 aligns with Friday's reports, it might not be as nefarious as Crane believes. A spokesperson said at the time that the materials were being disposed of in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulations."

I'm wondering of the supposed decline in obesity is related to increased intake of Ozempic?

And I'm not talking about Trump on this one but...

"Obesity rate among US adults fell in 2023 for first time in over a decade: Study"

"The study published in the journal JAMA Health Forum found that obesity nationwide has dropped from 46 percent in 2022 to 45.6 percent last year. The researchers also discovered that obesity has declined substantially in the South, including among women older adults, ages 66 to 75.'

(I seriously doubt that)

"A new research study, that was released in mid-November, found that almost three-quarters of Americans are considered obese or overweight, with greater spikes among those between the ages 5 to 24."

(That's probably more accurate, to say the least)
