TOP FEDERAL Prosecutor Caught In Shocking Drunken HIT-And-RUN
— A top federal narcotics prosecutor, Joseph Ruddy, violated ethics rules during a hit-and-run investigation last year. Ruddy, visibly intoxicated, handed his business card to Florida police officers after crashing into another vehicle and fleeing the scene. The Justice Department’s Office of Inspector General confirmed he misused his position as an assistant U.S. attorney in Tampa.
Body-camera footage from the Fourth of July incident shows Ruddy struggling to stand and slurring his words while leaning on his pickup truck for balance. Despite his condition, he presented his Justice Department credentials to officers from two jurisdictions investigating the crash. A Tampa police officer warned him that the footage would not look good when reviewed later.
The Justice Department’s report found that Ruddy engaged in conduct prejudicial to the government by driving drunk and leaving the scene of an accident. The case has been referred to the Professional Misconduct Review Unit for further action.
Although removed from several cases following inquiries about his status, Ruddy remains an assistant U.S. attorney as of Wednesday. Neither he nor his attorney has responded to requests for comment on this matter.
SENATE PASSES Bill To Reform Troubled Federal Prisons
— The Senate passed the Federal Prison Oversight Act on Wednesday, aiming to bring transparency and accountability to the troubled Bureau of Prisons. The House approved the bill in May, and it now awaits President Biden’s signature. This legislation introduces an independent ombudsman to investigate complaints and mandates risk-based inspections by the Justice Department’s Inspector General.
Sen. Jon Ossoff, D-Ga., introduced the bill in 2022 during his investigation into the Bureau of Prisons as chair of a Senate subcommittee. He collaborated with Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., and Sen. Mike Braun, R-Ind., forming a bipartisan group to address prison issues exposed by AP reporting. Reps. Kelly Armstrong, R-N.D., and Lucy McBath, D-Ga., supported the House version of this critical reform measure.
Ossoff called Wednesday’s passage “a major milestone,” emphasizing that his investigation highlighted an urgent need for better oversight in federal prisons.
Advocates for incarcerated individuals also praised this legislative achievement as a significant step forward in addressing systemic corruption and misconduct within the prison system.
McCANN SUSPECT Faces Trial: Unrelated SEXUAL Offenses Take Center Stage
— Christian Bruckner, implicated in the Madeleine McCann case, began his trial on Friday. The charges? Unrelated sexual offenses purportedly carried out in Portugal between 2000 and 2017.
The trial came to an abrupt halt until next week due to a challenge lodged by defense attorney Friedrich Fülscher against a lay judge. This particular judge was previously accused of inciting violence against former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro via social media.
Bruckner is currently serving time in a German prison for a rape conviction dating back to 2005 in Portugal. Despite being under scrutiny for McCann’s disappearance, he has not been formally charged and vehemently denies any connection.
His ongoing seven-year sentence and the recent trial have drawn renewed attention to Bruckner’s criminal history, casting further doubts on his claims of innocence regarding the McCann case.
IMAM’S SHOCKING Outburst Post Fatal Hit-and-Run: The Truth Uncovered at Old Bailey Trial
— A shocking hit-and-run event involving Imam Qari Abassi has led to a high-profile trial at the Old Bailey, England and Wales’ Central Criminal Court. On May 4th, 2021, Abassi is accused of fatally striking Harvinder Singh, who was lying unconscious on a London street while two men tried to shield him. The incident occurred as Abassi raced towards a mosque for early morning prayers.
Court evidence included dashcam footage capturing the moment of impact. After the collision, Abassi was recorded shouting derogatory phrases in Urdu. He defended his outburst by claiming it was aimed at the two men who narrowly escaped his car’s path, not Singh.
The two men testified that they had to leap aside “to save their lives” from Abassi’s speeding vehicle. Singh suffered fatal head and chest injuries after being run over. Despite admitting he was driving above the speed limit, Abassi denies causing death by careless driving.
Through an interpreter in court, Abassi claimed he thought Singh was an object like a “bin or briefcase.” He expressed frustration towards the two men signaling him to stop because he didn’t know them and saw no need to interrupt his journey.
NEW YEAR’S EVE Revelations: Bidens Discuss Holiday Cheer and 2024 Ambitions
— During a New Year’s Eve interview with Ryan Seacrest, President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden opened up about their holiday festivities and future aspirations. The chat was part of Dick Clarke’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve show, which had a friendly atmosphere but wasn’t devoid of political implications.
President Biden took the opportunity to highlight his administration’s achievements, with a special focus on job creation. He proudly pointed out the resurgence of factory jobs that were once outsourced overseas. The President claimed that since his inauguration, his administration has been responsible for creating 14 million jobs.
Furthermore, Biden expressed his desire for Americans to appreciate their nation’s current strength as we usher in the new year. He hopes this awareness will spur unity and progress as we approach 2024.
UNSHAKEN BIDEN Keeps Hunter Close Amidst Impeachment Storm: A Bold Statement or Blind Love?
— President Joe Biden remains steadfast in his support for his son, Hunter Biden, despite the ongoing impeachment investigation into Hunter’s overseas business dealings. On Monday, the Bidens were spotted sharing a meal with friends before Hunter accompanied the first family on their return flight from Delaware on Air Force One and Marine One.
White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre refuted claims that the administration was trying to hide Hunter by not listing him on passenger rosters shared with journalists. She underscored that it has been a longstanding tradition for presidents’ family members to travel with them, and this custom is not going away anytime soon.
Hunter’s public appearances in front of press photographers and reporters could signify President Biden’s readiness to openly back his son. This support is unwavering even as Hunter faces potential criminal charges and defies a congressional subpoena. Throughout his presidency, President Biden has consistently voiced pride in his son.
VATICAN SHOCKER: Cardinal Becciu Guilty in Historic Corruption Trial
— In a groundbreaking trial, the first of its kind since 1929’s Lateran Treaty, Cardinal Becciu and nine others have been declared guilty. The charges ranged from embezzlement to bribery. This verdict is the culmination of an extensive trial revolving around a luxury London property deal that led to over 100 million euros loss for the Vatican.
The guilt wasn’t confined to Cardinal Becciu alone. Nine other defendants were also convicted on diverse charges tied to fund mismanagement and embezzlement. Furthermore, the company Logsic Humitarne Dejavnosti was slapped with a fine of 40,000 euros and forbidden from contracting with public authorities for two years.
Becciu’s sentence fell just short of the seven years three months that prosecution sought after. The trial uncovered that he had funneled over half a million euros in Vatican funds to Cecilia Marogna’s company for a project deemed fraudulent by the court. Marogna too was found guilty and handed down prison time.
Alongside his prison term, Cardinal Becciu has been permanently barred from holding any public office and fined 8,000 euros. His offenses included conspiracy and witness tampering in an attempt to muzzle key prosecution witness Msgr Alberto Perlasca.
Hollywood’s RISING STAR, Jonathan Majors, Faces Career-Ending Assault Trial
— Jonathan Majors, a burgeoning talent in Hollywood, is currently embroiled in an assault trial in Manhattan. The case centers around an alleged violent dispute with his former girlfriend, Grace Jabbari, inside a car.
Prosecutors argue that Majors broke Jabbari’s middle finger and hit her on the side of the head after she discovered a romantic text from another woman on his phone.
Majors’ defense attorney contends that he was actually the victim and suffered injuries during Jabbari’s attack. Furthermore, they suggest these accusations are part of a vindictive scheme by Jabbari to sabotage Major’s career following their breakup.
The consequences are severe for 34-year-old Majors who risks up to one year behind bars if found guilty. Since his arrest in March, an advertising campaign featuring him for the U.S. Army has been withdrawn and the launch of “Magazine Dreams,” a Sundance award-winning film he featured in, has been delayed.
DEATH PENALTY On Trial: Americans Voice Unfairness, Report Unveils Shocking Shift
— The U.S. death penalty is under fire as more Americans express concerns about its fairness. This change in public sentiment is leading to the increasing marginalization of capital punishment in the country, according to a recent annual report.
However, it remains unclear whether this waning support will result in the end of capital punishment. While some experts anticipate its complete abolition soon, others predict a slow decline rather than an immediate vanishing.
In 2023, only 24 individuals were executed and 21 were sentenced to death. This marks the ninth year in a row with fewer than 30 executions and less than 50 death sentences. Only five states — Texas, Florida, Missouri, Oklahoma and Alabama — carried out executions this year; the smallest number in two decades.
A Gallup poll from October disclosed that half of Americans believe capital punishment is unjustly applied. This level of doubt represents the highest since Gallup started surveying this topic back in 2000.
ETHICS In QUESTION: Biden Under Scrutiny as Hunter’s Investigations Intensify
— The ongoing investigations into Hunter Biden have begun to cast a significant shadow over President Joe Biden. The Justice Department, along with Republican members of Congress, are closely examining the president’s son for his alleged involvement in a criminal scheme with then-Vice President Biden. This comes alongside separate gun charges following the collapse of a plea deal on tax charges.
A recent poll indicates that 35% of U.S. adults believe the president has acted illegally, while 33% suspect unethical conduct. The investigation is spearheaded by House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) and House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH). Their goal is to establish a connection between Hunter’s business dealings with a Ukrainian oil and gas firm and his father during his vice presidency.
Hunter Biden has been indicted by special counsel David Weiss in relation to a gun purchase in October 2018. He stands accused of violating orders prohibiting drug users from owning guns and has pleaded not guilty to all three counts against him. There are clear differences in perception across party lines: only 8% of Democrats believe the president is guilty of crimes related to his son’s activities, compared with 65% of Republicans.
As these investigations and indictments continue, they fuel growing controversy around the Bidens. This raises serious concerns about ethics at the
Biden’s APPROVAL RATINGS Dive: Is Inflation to Blame?
— President Biden’s popularity is taking a serious hit, largely due to the ongoing inflation crisis. Recent polls indicate a steep drop in public support, with many pointing fingers at his economic strategies as the root cause of the current predicament.
The escalating cost of living and soaring gas prices are fueling widespread dissatisfaction. Detractors argue that Biden’s economic management style has directly contributed to these problems.
Moreover, there is mounting unease about how the administration is dealing with foreign policy issues, especially concerning China and Russia. These concerns have further dented the president’s approval ratings.
As we inch closer to mid-term elections, these statistics could spell potential disaster for Democrats. The party will need to pull out all stops to rebuild public trust and restore faith in their leadership abilities.
PEACE at RISK: Biden’s Push for Palestinian Consulate Jeopardizes Israel-Saudi Talks
— Last month, President Joe Biden and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held a meeting. The focus was on encouraging peace talks between Israel and Saudi Arabia. Notably, these discussions did not necessitate the establishment of a Palestinian state — a significant shift in Middle East policy. Crown Prince Mohamed bin Salman of Saudi Arabia also appeared to ease his position on the Palestine issue.
However, recent reports suggest that the Biden administration may be jeopardizing this potential peace accord. They are insisting on establishing a new Palestinian consulate in Jerusalem. This move could effectively split Jerusalem between Israel and Palestine, overturning policies set by President Donald Trump and breaking bipartisan commitments to keep the city united.
Israeli news outlet Israel Hayom has reported growing frustration among Israeli and Saudi officials with Washington’s overemphasis on concessions for Palestinians. Insiders familiar with the ongoing negotiations suggest this focus is impeding potential progress.
The primary hurdle seems to be defining the specifics of a U.S.-Saudi defense agreement. This includes whether nuclear enrichment will be allowed on Saudi soil — an aspect that Israel appears willing to accept for comprehensive peace.
Immigration CRISIS: Biden’s Policies Cause SURGE at Border
— The number of people attempting to cross the US-Mexico border has seen a dramatic increase recently. This surge is believed to be a result of President Biden’s immigration policies.
Many believe that Biden’s decision to reverse several of Trump’s immigration policies has led to this increase. Critics argue that these changes have encouraged more people to attempt the risky journey.
In response, the White House has defended its policies, stating they are more humane and fair than those of the previous administration. However, this defense has done little to quell concerns about the rising numbers at the border.
As we move forward, it remains unclear how this situation will evolve. What is clear though is that immigration will continue to be a hot-button issue in American politics.
Biden’s Approval Rating PLUNGES to Record Low: Is INFLATION to Blame?
— A recent Gallup poll reveals a new low for President Joe Biden’s approval rating. Amid escalating inflation and economic unease, the President’s popularity is dwindling.
The survey shows a mere 40% of Americans giving the nod to Biden’s job performance — the lowest since he assumed office in January 2021.
The soaring cost of goods and services is hitting American households hard, leading to financial stress and discontent with the current administration.
This steep decline in approval could spell trouble for Democrats in the forthcoming midterm elections. If this trend persists, Republicans may seize control of Congress come November.
NET NEUTRALITY Revival Pushed by Biden’s New FCC Pick: The Real Impact on Telecom Companies
— Following the unsuccessful Senate endorsement of Gigi Sohn, President Biden has now confirmed Anna Gomez as the new commissioner for the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). This appointment breaks a 2-2 deadlock at the Commission. In response, Democrats and progressive nonprofits have begun to advocate for the return of Title II regulations on telecom companies.
On Monday, a group of 27 Senate Democrats, which included Senators Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), Ron Wyden (D-OR), and Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), called on FCC Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel to reestablish Title II regulations on internet service providers. These were regulations that had been withdrawn during Trump’s tenure.
Last week, progressive nonprofit Free Press also stepped up its efforts by starting a petition urging the FCC to bring back net neutrality rules. These rules were first introduced during Obama’s presidency before social media censorship became widespread. Net neutrality was initially touted as a means to safeguard an open internet by classifying telecom companies as common carriers.
Free Press emphasized that net neutrality is essential for preserving an internet that is “free, open and accessible to all.” However, critics contend that such regulation could potentially stifle innovation and competition within the sector.
US AID To UKRAINE: Biden’s Pledge Faces Surge of Resistance — How Americans Really Feel
— President Biden’s call for sustained aid to Ukraine, announced at the United Nations General Assembly, is meeting escalating resistance within the US. The administration is pushing for an extra $24 billion in aid for Ukraine by the end of this year. This would escalate total assistance to a whopping $135 billion since the conflict ignited in February 2022.
Yet, a CNN poll from August uncovers that most Americans oppose further aid to Ukraine. The topic has grown increasingly divisive over time. Moreover, despite Western backing and training, Ukraine’s much-hyped counter-offensive has not yielded significant wins.
A Wall Street Journal survey earlier this month revealed that more than half of American voters — 52% — disapprove of Biden’s handling of the Ukrainian situation — a rise from 46% on March 22. Among those surveyed, over one-third believe too much effort is being put into helping Ukraine while only about one-fifth think not enough is being done.
America’s BORDER CRISIS: A Deep Dive into Biden’s Disastrous Immigration Policies
— The ongoing border crisis in America is a direct result of President Biden’s disastrous immigration policies. His decisions have led to an unprecedented influx of illegal immigrants, putting immense strain on border patrol agents and local communities.
President Biden reversed many of Trump’s strict immigration policies upon taking office. This has resulted in a surge of migrants attempting to cross the border illegally, with numbers reaching their highest levels in over two decades.
Local communities near the border are feeling the impact. Schools are overwhelmed, crime rates are rising, and public resources are stretched thin. Yet, the administration seems indifferent to their plight.
Biden’s approach to immigration is not just flawed; it’s catastrophic. It undermines national security and disregards the rule of law. It’s time for America to wake up and hold him accountable for this crisis.
CANADA’S FREEDOM Convoy Trial Begins: Unmasking the Controversial Protest Tactics
— The trial of Tamara Lich and Chris Barber, organizers of Canada’s Freedom Convoy, commenced on Tuesday. Prosecutors are focusing not on political ideologies but on the protest methods used.
Lich and Barber were arrested in February 2022 following nearly a month of protests in Ottawa. The demonstrators demanded the termination of federal mask and vaccine mandates amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Critics suggest that their actions extended beyond health measures to challenge the broader Liberal Canadian government.
Throughout their protest, truckers remained stationed outside Canada’s Parliament building, a move city officials labeled as an “occupation”. Over a 13-day trial (with an additional six days in October), The Crown Prosecution will argue that these gridlock tactics constituted dangerous action.
Alongside other organizers, Lich and Barber face charges including mischief, counseling others to commit mischief, intimidation and obstructing police. This case represents a pivotal point in evaluating how society perceives and conducts protests.
Colleagues DEFEND Convicted Baby KILLER Nurse Lucy Letby
— Lucy Letby, 33, was sentenced to life imprisonment earlier this week after a jury found her guilty of murdering seven babies and attempting to murder six others at the Countess of Chester hospital.

Mike Pence UNSURE of Trump’s Criminality on 6 January
— Ex-vice president Mike Pence expressed doubt about the criminality of Donald Trump’s actions linked to the 6th January 2021 Capitol protest.

Trump’s Classified Docs Trial Set for MAY 20 Amid Election Run
— Donald Trump faces a court trial in the spring of next year for alleged mishandling of classified documents, ruled by Judge Aileen Cannon.

IRS Agents SPEAK Out on Hunter Biden’s Tax Investigation
— Gary Shapley and Joseph Ziegler, two IRS employees, have testified about the Hunter Biden investigation. With 14 years under his belt at the IRS, Shapley is a team leader in the International Tax and Financial Crimes group, supervising the investigation into Hunter Biden.
Ziegler, whose identity was revealed only at the House Oversight Committee hearing on July 19, has served 13 years in the IRS Criminal Investigations Division. He started examining Hunter Biden’s tax filings in November 2018, an effort that later merged with a more extensive Delaware-based federal investigation of Biden’s finances.
Both Shapley and Ziegler allege that decisions were made that benefited and protected the president’s son throughout the investigation.
COCAINE Found at the White House TWO Days After Hunter Biden’s Visit

Nurse Lucy Letby DENIES Murdering SEVEN Babies and Attempting to Kill TEN More
— Lucy Letby, a 33-year-old UK nurse, stands accused of murdering seven babies and attempting to murder another ten in a neonatal unit between June 2015 and June 2016. During her trial at Manchester Crown Court, Letby denied these allegations, asserting that “killing babies” was not on her mind.
Following unusually high infant mortality rates at the Countess of Chester Hospital’s neonatal unit from 2015 to 2016, Hereford-born nurse, Lucy Letby, was arrested but released on bail in 2018. After two more arrests and subsequent releases, Letby was ultimately charged with eight counts of murder and ten counts of attempted murder.
The highly anticipated trial began in October last year and is scheduled to conclude in May.

Buster Murdaugh BREAKS SILENCE After Stephen Smith Rumors Reach BOILING Point
— Following Alex Murdaugh’s conviction for the murder of his wife and son, all eyes are now on his surviving son, Buster, who is suspected of being involved in the suspicious death of his classmate in 2015. Stephen Smith was found dead in the middle of the road near the Murdaugh family’s South Carolina home. Still, the death remained a mystery despite the Murdaugh name repeatedly cropping up in the investigation.
Smith, an openly gay teenager, was a known classmate of Buster’s, and rumors suggested they were in a romantic relationship. However, Buster Murdaugh has slammed the “baseless rumors,” saying, “I unequivocally deny any involvement in his death, and my heart goes out to the Smith family.”
In the statement released on Monday, he said he tried his best to “ignore the vicious rumors” published in the media and that he hasn’t spoken up before because he wants privacy while he grieves the deaths of his mother and brother.
The statement comes alongside the news that the Smith family raised over $80,000 during the Murdaugh Trial to launch their own investigation. The money raised through the GoFundMe campaign will be used to exhume the teenager’s body for an independent autopsy.
‘He’s NOT Telling the Truth’: Murdaugh BROTHER Speaks Out After Guilty Verdict
— In a shocking interview with the New York Times, Alex Murdaugh’s brother and former law partner, Randy Murdaugh, said he is unsure if his younger brother is innocent and conceded, “He knows more than what he’s saying.”
“He’s not telling the truth, in my opinion, about everything there,” said Randy, who worked with Alex at the family law firm in South Carolina until Alex was caught stealing client funds.
It took only three hours for a jury to convict Alex Murdaugh of murdering his wife and son in 2021, and as a lawyer, Randy Murdaugh said he respects the verdict but still finds it hard to picture his brother pulling the trigger.
The Murdaugh brother concluded the interview by saying, “The not knowing is the worst thing there is.”
NEW MUGSHOT: Alex Murdaugh Pictured with SHAVED Head and Prison Jumpsuit for the FIRST Time Since Trial
— Disgraced South Carolina lawyer and now-convicted murderer Alex Murdaugh has been pictured for the first time since the trial. In the new mugshot, Murdaugh is now sporting a shaved head and a yellow jumpsuit as he prepares to start his two life sentences in a maximum-security prison.
It took only three hours for the South Carolina jury to find Alex Murdaugh guilty of shooting his wife, Maggie, with a rifle and using a shotgun to kill his 22-year-old son Paul in June of 2021.
The following morning the once prominent lawyer and part-time prosecutor was sentenced to two life sentences without the possibility of parole by Judge Clifton Newman.
Murdaugh’s defense team is expected to file for appeal shortly, most likely leaning on the issue of the prosecution being allowed to use Murdaugh’s financial crimes as a weapon to destroy his credibility.
Alex Murdaugh Found GUILTY and Sentenced to TWO LIFE Sentences

CNN’s Don Lemon Goes NUTS Over ‘Credible Outlet’ Comment Describing the New York Post
— CNN host Don Lemon went on an unscripted tirade after Rep. James Comer called the New York Post a “credible outlet.” Lemon delayed the commercial break to express his disagreement and disbelief, saying, “I can’t believe that we’re here.” Notwithstanding, the New York Post’s story on Hunter Biden was entirely accurate.
It comes as the House Oversight Committee is turning up the heat on Hunter Biden. This week, the committee began questioning former Twitter employees over the deliberate suppression of the Hunter Biden laptop story published by the New York Post.
Aides to Joe Biden Find CLASSIFIED Documents in Old Offices
— President Biden is now under investigation by the Justice Department after aides found classified documents that belong in the National Archives while moving boxes from Biden’s old Washington-based think tank offices.

Hunter Biden Hires Former Jared KUSHNER Lawyer for Renewed Investigation from House Republicans
— Joe Biden’s son, Hunter, has hired the former lawyer of Donald Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, as he faces a renewed investigation from House Republicans.
Another attorney for Hunter Biden announced that seasoned Washington lawyer Abbe Lowell had joined the legal team “to help advise” and “address the challenges” the president’s son is facing. Lowell previously represented Jared Kushner in Congress and during the investigation into Russian election interference, but he is more widely known for representing President Bill Clinton in the 1998 impeachment trial.
It comes after new Twitter CEO Elon Musk leaked the bombshell “Twitter files” that reported on how the social media company worked with the Biden campaign to kill the laptop story. To make matters worse for the Biden family, House Republicans won the majority in the midterm elections, meaning Hunter will face a renewed investigation from Congress.

Joe Biden STANDS FIRM: Refuses to Pardon Son Hunter Amidst TAX Fraud Charges
— President Joe Biden has made it clear that he will not pardon his son, Hunter Biden. The White House confirmed this stance on Friday. Hunter is facing a potential 17-year prison sentence following his second indictment in just four months, this time for unfiled and unpaid taxes.
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre reaffirmed the president’s position while aboard Air Force One. She stated, “Nothing has changed.” Special counsel David Weiss handed down the nine-count indictment on Thursday evening.
The White House has maintained a guarded silence since the indictment was announced. When questioned about their reaction to the news, Jean-Pierre mentioned that President Biden continues to back his son as he attempts to rebuild his life. However, she directed further inquiries towards either the Department of Justice or White House counsel.
So far, neither the Justice Department nor White House counsel have commented on Hunter’s latest legal predicament. This lack of response raises questions about just how much President Joe Biden was involved in his son’s affairs.
