In a shocking development, the first son dodged a congressional subpoena on Wednesday, opting to deliver a public statement on the Senate side of the Capitol instead of testifying with the House Oversight Committee. The Oversight Committee [subpoenaed Hunter Biden]( in November to have him appear Wednesday before the committee in a closed-door session and answer questions related to his foreign business dealings. "Let me state as clearly as I can: My father was not financially involved in my business, not as a practicing lawyer, not as a board member of Burisma. Not in my partnership with a Chinese private businessman. Not my investments at home nor abroad and certainly not as an artist," Biden stated during his surprise press conference, flanked by lawyer Abbe Lowell and Democratic Congressman Eric Swalwell. "During my battle with addiction, my parents were there for me. They literally saved my life," the first son [added](. He admitted to being "irresponsible" with his finances during his period of addiction. Following Hunter's brash statement, Republican Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan [pointed to six words]( "my father was not financially involved" — that Hunter Biden told reporters which represent a "huge change" in the ongoing impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden. "One hour ago I think the biggest takeaway was the statement from Mr. Biden where he said 'my father was not financially involved in the business.' That is a huge change, which means, sort of means he is involved. I think that’s how anyone with common-sense would read it. He has been involved just not financially," Jordan said. "That is a huge departure for everything they have said now for the last 3 1/2 years. Republicans then dropped two bombshells against the Bidens after the defiant act from the first son: contempt proceedings and an impeachment inquiry. James Comer and Jordan announced their intention to initiate contempt of congress proceedings against Hunter Biden, saying, "Hunter Biden today defied lawful subpoenas and we will now initiate contempt of Congress proceedings. We will not provide special treatment because his last name is Biden." Later that night, the U.S. House [voted]( to open an impeachment inquiry into Biden, with Speaker of the House Mike Johnson saying that the resolution is "the next necessary step" in and that the White House has "stonewalled" their investigation. HOT OFF THE PRESS Tucker Is Back! Daily Caller co-founder Tucker Carlson officially [launched]( his new media company Monday, eight months following his departure from Fox News.

'MAGA' Republicans Side With FISA Cult: 147 Republicans in the House, including several so-called 'MAGA' Republicans, [sided]( with Democrats on Thursday to reauthorize Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), a tool that allows the U.S. government to spy on American citizens, with no reforms. GOP Kentucky Rep. Thomas Massie was literally breathless on Glenn Beck's radio program immediately after the vote, and called out his Republican colleagues who "threw away the Fourth Amendment" by voting to reauthorize the abusive program. 10-Point Stunner: Democrats, beware! Donald Trump is leading Biden by a whopping 10 points in Michigan, a state Biden won in 2020, and by 5 points in Georgia, [according]( to a new poll.

DC ORIGINALS Premiers January 2024 For nearly three years, former President Donald Trump has infamously touted how the 2020 election was rigged. He has discussed voter fraud, ballot tampering, and irregularities in the counting process—some combination of which resulted in millions of fraudulent votes for Joe Biden. While it is truly mind-blowing that Biden’s "Weekend at Bernie’s" campaign won him the most votes of any candidate in American history, the sad fact is that Democratic operatives didn’t need to tamper with ballots so brazenly. The election was rigged long before Election Day. PREMIERING DEC 5TH Do No Harm will uncover what drives doctors behind the radical transgender movement to forsake their most important oath.
