House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer, R-Ky., told Newsmax on Monday that it doesn't matter how the Biden family and the media want to spin the reason behind the monthly $1,380 that Hunter Biden paid Joe Biden in 2018 — what matters is where the $4,140, in all, came from.

Hunter Biden paid back his dad, now the president of the United States, from the account of a shell company called Owasco PC, with monies from China that were derived from an influence-peddling scheme, Comer showed earlier in the day.

The fact that it was called a loan for a truck is the bright shiny object used to distract the Biden family apologists and feeble-minded media, Comer said on "Rob Schmitt Tonight."

Kiev has lost more than 125,000 troops and 16,000 items of arms and materiel since the beginning of the so-called counteroffensive June 4, Russian Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu said on Friday, as TASS reports. 44% of Ukrainians now want negotiations, while the White House warns it is running out of money for Ukraine. Russian President Vladimir Putin said that “Russia has never refused peace talks with Ukraine.”

“An all-out mobilization in Ukraine, the deliveries of Western armaments and the commitment of strategic reserves to combat by the Ukrainian military command have not changed the situation on the battlefield. These desperate actions have only added to casualties among Ukrainian army units. Over six months of the so-called counteroffensive, the enemy has lost more than 125,000 personnel and 16,000 items of various armament,” Shoigu said in a conference call with military commanders.

Observers including Col. Douglas MacGregor and Robert F. Kennedy had claimed Ukraine had lost approx. 350,000 men before the start of the offensive. That would put Ukrainian losses in the war at 475,000 (killed, wounded, captured and missing).

During all 2023, we had to bear the climate alarmist cult shouting to the winds how ‘this year was by far the hottest one in recorded history’.

But the alarmists seem to have jumped the gun, since the year hasn’t ended yet – and the winter has come with a blistering vengeance against the Northern Hemisphere.

It is also fitting that this wave of extreme cold should hit right as the chief Climate Fearmongers are all gathered at the COP28 in Dubai peddling their ‘Global Warming’ hoaxes.

The Gateway Pundit is republishing this study from earlier this year.
The death cult at COP28 will ignore this little fact this week.

A Lancet study revealed that cold weather is responsible for approximately 90% of the 5.1 million annual excess deaths attributed to temperature.

We could use some more heat.

The CDC has wiped references to ‘pregnant women’ or ‘pregnant woman’ in vaccine guidance and replaced them with terms like ‘pregnant people’ and ‘pregnant parent’ in an effort to become ‘gender neutral’.

Other gender specific terms such as ‘she’, ‘her’, and ‘mother’ have also been resigned to the dustbin of history by the CDC.

Twitter has censored a campaign ad and locked the presidential campaign account of Terrisa Bukovinac, a pro-life Democrat who is challenging Joe Biden for the Democratic Party’s presidential nomination.

Bukovinac is the founder of both Pro-Life San Francisco and Progressive Anti-Abortion Uprising (PAAU). She is running for president to expose the extreme position that Joe Biden and other Democratic elected officials have on sanctity-of-life issues.

Last year, Bukovinac and another pro-life activist, Lauren Handy, recovered the remains of more than 115 aborted children outside a Washington, D.C., abortion facility. Five of the children were fully formed, and there is evidence that these aborted children may have been victims of partial-birth abortions — a violation of federal law. That said, there has been no formal investigation into the deaths of these preborn children.

One of the reasons that Bukovinac is running for president is to keep the memory of these aborted babies alive. The censored campaign ad includes graphic images of the remains of these children. Indeed, Twitter stated that the account was locked because it violated rules against “posting media depicting gratuitous gore.” (Note: Twiter (X) has not censored a LifeNews tweet featuring Bukovinac’s graphic commercial.)

Greenpeace's recent report reveals a disheartening truth about plastic waste in the U.S. A staggering majority of plastic generated by American households isn't finding its way to recycling facilities. Out of the 51 million tons of plastic produced last year, only a meager 2.4 million tons were recycled. The daunting challenge isn't associated with the recycling process itself but rather with the complexities of plastics.

Travel back in time with us as we explore a fascinating collection of vintage photographs that capture sweet moments shared between animals and people from days gone by.

Travel back in time with us as we explore a fascinating collection of vintage photographs that capture sweet moments shared between animals and people from days gone by.

Steeped in history, these images provide a surreal and heart-touching glimpse of a world where the bonds between humans and animals were as simple as they were important.

From the late 19th to the early 20th century, photography was in its infancy, a craft that required precision and patience.

Each exposure was carefully prepared, and both human and animal subjects had to remain still for several seconds.

The dogs in these old photographs were not just pets; He was a loyal friend and protector. Whether seen accompanying children, farmers or as part of working teams, dogs were an integral part of daily existence, providing companionship and often a sense of security.

Apple has issued emergency fixes to plug security flaws in iPhones, iPads, and Macs that may already be under attack.

The software updates for iOS, iPadOS, macOS Sonoma, and Safari web browser address two bugs: an out-of-bounds read flaw tracked as CVE-2023-42916, and a memory corruption vulnerability tracked as CVE-2023-42917.

Spotify has announced its third and largest round of layoffs this year, cutting 17 percent of employees despite recently posting its first profitable quarter in more than 12 months.

USAF veteran, new father, and January 6 protester AJ Fischer went to Washington, DC, to protect innocent Trump supporters from being attacked by violent Antifa/BLM thugs.

And on that day, he and the others who came to protest peacefully were attacked.  But it wasn’t Antifa; it was Capital Hill police officers, and the videos of their violent behavior are finally coming out.

Capitol Police fired flash grenades and rubber bullets at peaceful protesters, including women, children, and seniors in the crowd. The Trump supporters had nowhere to move to, and many had NO IDEA what was about to hit them!

Two years ago, a Brazilian minor came to the US as an exchange student in the US and stayed in a West Virginia home in which her host had placed a spy camera bought on Amazon.com.

The minor – said to have been an "aspiring actress" in an amended legal complaint [PDF] filed earlier this year against e-commerce giant Amazon – found that her host "had been using Amazon's spy camera to surreptitiously record her in her private bathroom."

The plaintiff's lawsuit, which last week largely survived Amazon's motion to dismiss the case, seeks to hold the online store liable for selling a product that was advertised for potentially illicit uses and was allegedly flagged to its Product Safety team.

The "Hidden Clothes Hook Camera" – a covert camera concealed in a clothes hook – was accessible on Amazon's website until recently.

Two Internal Revenue Service whistleblowers who alleged that the U.S. Department of Justice interfered in the Hunter Biden investigation are testifying on Tuesday during a closed-door session before the House Ways and Means Committee.

Gary Shapley, a supervisor who ran the IRS probe of Biden, and Joseph Ziegler, an agent from the agency's criminal division, are participating in the session with lawmakers regarding "documents protected under Internal Revenue Code Section 6103."

A group representing some of Spain's largest media outlets have sued Meta, demanding €550 million ($596 million) in recompense for Zuckercorp's "systemic and massive" disregard for EU privacy regulations that have left them at risk of collapse.

The lawsuit, filed by the Information Media Association (AMI) on behalf of 83 Spanish outlets – including industry leaders El Mundo, El País and others – accuses Meta of violating the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) since it came into effect in 2018 until mid-2023, when Meta finally bowed to regulator pressure and promised it would begin explicitly asking for EU users' permission when seeking to collect data for advertising purposes.

According to AMI, Meta "failed to comply with [the GDPR], ignoring the regulatory requirement that citizens must consent to the use of their data for advertising profiling," and that its scofflaw practices contributed to its dominant advertising position across the EU.

Tiny bits of space junk too small to track using current methods could be detected by a novel process using by ground-based radio dishes, according to the latest research.

Big pieces of space junk, like parts of spent rocket boosters or broken satellites, are easy to spot because their orbits are known and they’re big enough to get a reading on. But the millions of smaller items are harder to find, and more are appearing as large items of orbital debris slowly degrade and fragment.

Astroboffins fear that as more such objects come into existence, the risk of debris colliding to create a dangerous chain reaction is increasing.

A sample of the Qilin ransomware gang's VMware ESXi encryptor has been found and it could be one of the most advanced and customizable Linux encryptors seen to date.

The enterprise is increasingly moving to virtual machines to host their servers, as they allow for better usage of available CPU, memory, and storage resources.

Due to this adoption, almost all ransomware gangs have created dedicated VMware ESXi encryptors to target these servers.

WordPress administrators are being emailed fake WordPress security advisories for a fictitious vulnerability tracked as CVE-2023-45124 to infect sites with a malicious plugin.

The campaign has been caught and reported by WordPress security experts at Wordfence and PatchStack, who published alerts on their sites to raise awareness.

The emails pretend to be from WordPress, warning that a new critical remote code execution (RCE) flaw in the platform was detected on the admin's site, urging them to download and install a plugin that allegedly addresses the security issue.

Google announced today that the December 2023 Android security updates tackle 85 vulnerabilities, including a critical severity zero-click remote code execution (RCE) bug.

Tracked as CVE-2023-40088, the zero-click RCE bug was found in Android's System component and doesn't require additional privileges to be exploited.

While the company has yet to reveal if attackers have targeted this security flaw in the wild, threat actors could exploit it to gain arbitrary code execution without user interaction.

More than a dozen malicious loan apps, which are generically named SpyLoan, have been downloaded more than 12 million times this year from Google Play but the count is much larger since they are also available on third-party stores and suspicious websites.

SpyLoan Android threats steal from the device personal data that includes a list of all accounts, device info, call logs, installed apps, calendar events, local Wi-Fi network details, and metadata from images. Researchers say that the risk also extends to contacts list, location data, and text messages.

They pose as legitimate financial services for personal loans that promise "quick and easy access to funds." However, they trick users into accepting high-interest payments and then the threat actor blackmails victims into paying the money.

In a controversial turn of policy advocacy, Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL) is now advocating for a bold and contentious plan as proposed by another Senator Tammy Duckworth (D-IL): allowing illegal immigrants to serve in the U.S. military as a pathway to citizenship.

In an ironic twist at the Climate Change Conference in Dubai, John Kerry, the Biden regime’s climate envoy, may have inadvertently highlighted the need for personal methane reduction in a manner most unexpected.
