Hunter Biden prosecutors move to drop old gun count after plea deal collapse

Prosecutors who filed firearms charges against Hunter Biden moved Wednesday to formally dismiss a gun count that had been part of a collapsed plea deal.

As a gun rights activist, I believe that all firearm restrictions are unconstitutional.  Here's why Hunter Biden should spend the rest of life in prison for violating federal gun laws. - NYTPitchbot

Republicans Are Killing Themselves

Differences in political party affiliation is the primary force dividing whether Americans are going to get the latest COVID-19 booster shot, a poll released Friday found.

Seventy percent of Democrats say they are likely to or have already received the updated shot, while 28 percent of Republicans say they will, the Ipsos poll found.

Hey, CNN: The leading headline on your website reads, "Here’s why the shockingly good jobs report is going to cost you." 336,000 jobs were created in September & the US has the LOWEST inflation of any major economy in the world & THIS is what you focus on? You fail all of us. - Victor Shi

SEC Sued Elon Musk. He Ignored A Subpoena, As A Typical Republican.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission sued Elon Musk on Thursday in an effort to compel the billionaire to testify over his purchase of Twitter last year.

Attorneys representing the SEC alleged in a legal filing released in the Northern District of California that Musk failed to appear for a Sept. 15 testimony as required by a subpoena, which the attorneys said was served to the Tesla

 CEO in May 2023.

What would be aesthetically pleasing is if Elon Musk was arrested for being a traitor, his assets were seized, Starlink & SpaceX were nationalized, and Twitter was restored to its original form, and turned into a public utility. - TheUSASingers

Trump Falls Off Forbes List of America’s 400 Wealthiest People After Truth Social's Value Tanks

As Donald Trump contends with his legal battles and his 2024 campaign, Forbes has determined that the former president is no longer rich enough to make their list of America’s wealthiest people.

Trump made $2.5B while he was president, more than he's ever made in his life. Yet he just got knocked off the Forbes list and he can't even afford normal rich people sh*t like paying his lawyers and living somewhere nice.
