The Democrat run State Department was as corrupt as Hunter Biden
Hunter Biden got Obama State Department to help Burisma subsidiary, new bombshell letter shows: ‘See where our interests may overlap’
WASHINGTON — Former first son Hunter Biden got help from the Obama administration — which his father, Joe, served as vice president — while repping Ukrainian energy company Burisma Holdings, which paid the younger Biden a million-dollar salary based on his political connections, bombshell federal files published Friday show.
The documents — which emerged 73 days after Joe Biden’s presidency ended — show Hunter, now 55, solicited and received commitments of State Department assistance for a Burisma geothermal subsidiary’s work in Italy.
Then-US ambassador to Rome John Phillips, who had received a letter from Hunter asking for help, wrote to the then-second son in July 2016 that he was designating a subordinate to help grease the wheels for Burisma, which was seeking to firm up relations with then-Tuscany regional president Enrico Rossi.
“Dear Hunter, It seems like yesterday that you were in Rome. I hope this finds you well. Thank you for your letter. I know Enrico Rossi well and have a good working relationship with him,” the ambassador wrote in a response printed by the New York Times.
Fighting for American prosperity
S
cott Bessent is right. Cheap goods are not the American dream
Everybody likes cheap stuff. We bargain hunt constantly, eager to find a way to save a dollar here and a dollar there while buying what we want and need. Clever retailers, eager to convince shoppers that they are saving money, will market sales as a means to entice customers through the door.
At the same time, we notice when things increase in price. Over the past four years, as inflation brought on by excessive government spending tore through the economy, Americans everywhere righteously grumbled about the increased cost of groceries, fuel, and other necessities. In the 2024 election, voters’ concerns about inflation helped doom the Democratic Party and returned President Donald Trump to the White House for a second term.
Crisis for Canadian Jewry
Crisis for Canadian Jewry
Because this is precisely where Canada is going. Historically, Canada has been behind Europe on antisemitism by a generation, but the pace at which it is gaining momentum is now catching up. The same forces that have harmed France and the United Kingdom are now entrenched in Canada: radicalized academic environments, media that demonize Israel and downplay antisemitism, politicians pressured to appease extremists, and a Jewish community that, even as it grows more alarmed, is still unwilling to confront the reality of the threat.
At the eye of the storm is the Liberal Party of Canada and its new leader, Prime Minister Mark Carney. Many would argue that in the past decade, the Liberal government under former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau increasingly empowered antisemitic elements.... In the process, it has encouraged antisemitic opinions to intensify and be legitimized.
Britain's and France's abuses did not happen by chance. They were the consequence of political choices. In Canada, those choices have already been made.
Some in the media, politics and faculty members excused or justified these acts. What if black students had been prevented from moving freely on campus? All hell would have broken out — or should have. Yet, when it comes to Jews, or as the antisemites like to say "Zionists," no one, it seems, has a problem.
In Carney's Canada, violence, intimidation and dangerous rhetoric against Jews, like that of the Nazi sympathizers of the 1930s, are now becoming the norm.
History is a stern teacher. Too frequently, its warnings go unheeded. Twenty years ago, France descended into a season of antisemitic violence that continues to this day. In 2006, when a young Jewish man named Ilan Halimi was kidnapped, tortured for three weeks, then brutally murdered by a Muslim criminal gang infamously referred to as the "Gang of Barbarians," the international community was shocked. The reason for the kidnapping, torture and murder was the old stereotype that supposedly all Jews are rich. Halimi's family could not afford to pay the 450,000 euros demanded as ransom.
Antisemitic crimes in France, however, exceeded that single event. In 2012, a Muslim terrorist attacked a Jewish school in Toulouse and murdered a rabbi and three young children.
For centuries, Jewish communities have been, with various pretexts, objects of hostility.
In Britain, the rise of Jeremy Corbyn, a parliamentarian with decades-long radically anti-Israel sentiments, to Labour Party leadership in 2015, ushered in a radical reformation. Labour became a nursery of antisemitic conspiracy theories, a podium for radical activists hijacking the language of Hamas, and a party where Jewish members were bullied, ostracized and expelled. Protests broke out across the United Kingdom, demanding "From the river to the sea" — a cry for Israel's destruction.
The media, the BBC in particular — funded by British taxpayers, including Jews — stands accused by many of fueling this hatred by misrepresenting and distorting facts, demonizing Jewish voices, and broadcasting antisemitism disguised as "anti-Zionism."
The veil of pretense was lifted on October 7, 2023, when Hamas terrorists slaughtered, raped, and burned their way through Israeli towns, committing the worst one-day massacre of Jews since the Holocaust. Within hours, the streets of London were filled with mobs of people waving Palestinian flags, celebrating the murders, calling for intifada, and calling for the annihilation of the Jewish people. In August 2024, the Community Security Trust, a nonprofit organization that works to protect British Jews from terrorism and antisemitism, reported "1,978 instances of anti-Jewish hate recorded across the UK" in the first six months of the year, "44% higher than the previous six-monthly record of 1,371 cases of anti-Jewish hate in 2021."
Jewish students at British universities were harassed, silenced and threatened physically. At the University of Leeds, the Jewish chaplain was sent chilling death threats against his children and wife. The message was unmistakable: Jews were no longer welcome in Britain.
Why does this matter?
Because this is precisely where Canada is going. Historically, Canada has been behind Europe on antisemitism by a generation, but the pace at which it is gaining momentum is now catching up. The same forces that have harmed France and the United Kingdom are now entrenched in Canada: radicalized academic environments, media that demonize Israel and downplay antisemitism, politicians pressured to appease extremists, and a Jewish community that, even as it grows more alarmed, is still unwilling to confront the reality of the threat.
At the eye of the storm is the Liberal Party of Canada and its new leader, Prime Minister Mark Carney. Many would argue that in the past decade, the Liberal government under former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau increasingly empowered antisemitic elements. In the name of "diversity", "equity" and "inclusion", it has encouraged extreme radical ideologies and runaway antisemitism. It has failed to act decisively against imams who call for the shedding of Jewish blood. It has ignored incitement on university campuses, tolerated the spread of anti-Israel and anti-Jewish libels and defamation through public broadcasters that it funds. In the process, it has encouraged antisemitic opinions to intensify and be legitimized.
Britain's and France's abuses did not happen by chance. They were the consequence of political choices. In Canada, those choices have already been made.
In the years 2023-2025, anti-Jewish violence in Montreal has escalated. Gunmen opened fire on two Jewish schools in 2023. The Congregation Beth Tikvah synagogue was firebombed twice in 2023 and 2024, causing serious damage. A Jewish community center was also firebombed in 2023.
In Toronto, gunmen opened fire in three separate attacks on a Jewish girls' school in 2024. Synagogues and another Jewish school were attacked with firebombs.
Jewish businesses and institutions have been vandalized, effigies burned, and antisemitic slogans and cries in Arabic to murder Jews heard in the streets of Canada's major cities. As in 1930s Germany, attackers have broken synagogue windows.
Jewish students have been assaulted in front of schools, and swastikas were painted on Jewish businesses and homes. On university campuses across Canada, encampments have appeared, where Jewish students and faculty are harassed and obstructed. Some in the media, politics and faculty members have excused or justified these acts. What if black students had been prevented from moving freely on campus? All hell would have broken out — or should have. Yet, when it comes to Jews, or as the antisemites like to say "Zionists," no one, it seems, has a problem.
Violence is just part of the story. Jewish Canadians face harassment at work and violent physical attacks at protests, and are harassed relentlessly online. "Montreal has become North America's capital of antisemitism," according to Professor Gad Saad, of Montreal's Concordia University. The city is quickly becoming the continent's largest hotbed of radical Islam. In Toronto, meanwhile, instead of cracking down on hate crimes, the police department has been busy producing an official podcast featuring Muslim police officers praising the October 7, 2023 attack as something that generated more converts to Islam.
Many believe that Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow has demonstrated ongoing hostility towards the Jewish community. She boycotted the two largest Jewish events of the year — the Walk for Israel, which drew over 50,000 participants, and the October 7th memorial. She later claimed she "did not get the memo" about these events. On a live radio broadcast, she boasted about standing in the rain for a few minutes while condemning one of the shooting attacks on a Jewish girls' school. This is the level of sympathy the Jewish community receives from both the Toronto police and the mayor of Toronto.
The anti-Jewish sentiment in Canada extends far beyond municipal politics. Under Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, many believe that Canada repeatedly echoed Hamas's talking points. Senior Hamas official Ghazi Hamad publicly thanked Canada for supporting a ceasefire in Gaza, praising Canada, Australia and New Zealand for their "positive stance" in isolating Israel.
After October 7, 2023, Trudeau's policies marked a clear shift in Canada's foreign policy. His government quietly suspended military exports to Israel, later formalizing the decision through a non-binding parliamentary motion in March 2024. In November 2023, Trudeau urged Israel to stop "this killing of women, of children, of babies" and to "exercise maximum restraint," prompting a sharp rebuke from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
A year later, Trudeau announced that Canada would comply with the International Criminal Court's arrest warrants for Israeli leaders, a move condemned by Israel and its allies. In May 2024 Trudeau's government also imposed sanctions on Israelis and organizations in Judea and Samaria, an unprecedented step in Canadian-Israeli relations.
These policies have been welcomed by Hamas and anti-Israel activists, while drawing sharp criticism from Israel and its supporters. Trudeau also misled Canadians about key events during the war, such as the bombing of the Al Shifa hospital — which he blamed on Israel, but it was caused by a rocket launched by Palestinian Islamic Jihad — and he never apologized for what is universally accepted as an irrefutable lie. Moreover, the Liberal Party continued to send millions of dollars' worth of aid to UNRWA, even after they were shown proof that UNRWA members took part in the October 7th slaughter, torture and kidnapping of Israelis.
With Carney now as Canada's new prime minister, the Canadian government has pledged $100 million in aid to Palestinians. They claim it is for "humanitarian purposes." However, you would have to be living under a rock not to know that any aid sent to Gaza invariably goes straight to Hamas, the very terrorist organization that Canada officially labels as illegal. One could argue that Carney and the Liberals are knowingly funding a terrorist group.
On April 28, 2025, Canadians will go to the polls to elect a new federal government. Over the past two years, under the Liberal Party government, Canada has witnessed this alarming surge in antisemitism. The Liberals, and now their leader Carney, have pandered to a growing constituency of extreme radicals that has been at the forefront of this rise in violent hate. In Carney's Canada, violence, intimidation and dangerous rhetoric against Jews, like that of the Nazi sympathizers of the 1930s, are now becoming the norm.
The sad truth is that if things do not drastically change, Canadian Jews may soon have to face a reckoning. Some will leave, as tens of thousands of Jews have already left France. Others will stay and fight back. What we are seeing today, however, is not a temporary peak in antisemitism. It appears to be the beginning of something far worse.

BILL MAHER DEMANDS TO “DEFUND NPR AND PBS”: “They're crazy far-left outlets that don't deserve taxpayer money”
Comedian and political commentator Bill Maher has launched a scathing attack against public broadcasters NPR and PBS, demanding the government stop funding them with taxpayer dollars. His remarks come amid a contentious congressional hearing where executives from these organizations faced tough questions over their blatant liberal bias.
"They're Crazy Far-Left": Maher Pulls No Punches
On his show Real Time, Maher didn't hold back, labeling NPR and PBS as radically biased outlets and mocking former NPR CEO Katherine Maher (no relation) for claiming they are "completely impartial." "Oh please, ma'am, don't make me laugh," he fired back, arguing these networks have lost all journalistic credibility.

Pro-Life Activist Brutally Attacked by Radical Pro-Abortion Extremist During Street Interview in Harlem, NYC
Pro-life activist Savannah Craven Antao was viciously attacked in broad daylight by an unhinged pro-abortion radical simply for speaking out in defense of the unborn.
Savannah, a fearless advocate with the pro-life organization Live Action, was on the streets of Harlem conducting peaceful interviews with New Yorkers for a video project titled “What Does Planned Parenthood Do? Perception vs. Reality?” when the attack occurred.
The goal? To educate the public about the horrors of abortion and the truth behind America’s largest abortion provider.
But one radical pro-abortion extremist had no interest in civil discourse.

"Such gross misuse of taxpayer funds by partisan activist organizations must be swiftly addressed." The enemy within!
Undercover footage obtained by Anthony Rubin's watchdog outfit, Muckraker, and published by the Oversight Project shows the Chinese-American Planning Council, a taxpayer-funded group based in New York City, provide training on how to prevent U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials from enforcing federal law and removing illegal aliens from the homeland.
Mike Howell, president of the Oversight Project — now a 501(c)(4) organizationindependent of the Heritage Foundation — told Blaze News, "This type of conduct supported by taxpayers and far left politicians transcends just policy disagreements. This is a conspiracy of individuals and organizations to thwart law enforcement."
Howell indicated that the Oversight Project has referred this matter to the Trump administration as well as to Mayor Eric Adams (D).
"We will find out if Mayor Adams is serious about being tough on illegal immigration or just talks a big game for politics," said Howell.
The leftist group
The stated purpose of the CPC, supposedly "the nation's largest Asian American social service organization," is to address "the evolving needs of Chinese American, immigrant, and low-income communities and promot[e] an inclusive environment where everyone can thrive."
The organization has enjoyed the support of various Democratic lawmakers from New York, including U.S. Sens. Chuck Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand, Reps. Dan Goldman, Grace Meng, Jerry Nadler, and Nydia Velazquez, and New York Gov. Kathy Hochul.
According to its latest financial statement, it received over $46.8 million in government grants and contracts between July 2023 and June 2024.
'We have a few ways that you can get ready.'
The leftist organization has made no secret of its opposition to the proper enforcement of American immigration laws.
The group has, for instance, condemned government policies that "target communities through raids, arrests, and separations," as well as American policies that "passively but intentionally erode existing pathways to immigration and naturalization."
In addition to providing illegal aliens with advanced warnings of ICE raids, the group has held multiple "Know Your Rights" seminars "explaining how New Yorkers can protect themselves and their communities from the overreach of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement."
The CPC scrubbed its page of evidence of a March 13 "Know Your Rights" webinar but not before Blaze News was able to capture a screenshot, below.
Rubin indicated that Rep. Goldman, who apparently requested $1 million federal taxpayer dollars for the CPC, was featured on promotional material for one of these anti-ICE events.
The footage
In the footage published by the Oversight Project, Carlyn Cowen, the chief policy and public affairs officer of the CPC, provided would-be subversives with an example of an ICE-evasion tactic used in a restaurant where she works weekends.
"What we train everybody to do is if we see ICE come to the door, we actually enter a button in our [point-of-sale] system that says 'la migra' and you click it, and then it prints a ticket to everywhere else in the restaurant so that everybody knows, right?" said Cowen. "So different kinds of protocols based on the type of organization or space."
"No matter what kind of organization or business that you're in, we have a few ways that you can get ready," said Cowen. "Number one is hardening your physical space."
'Such gross misuse of taxpayer funds by partisan activist organizations must be swiftly addressed.'
"Number two is doing a data audit and updating your data protection polices," continued the radical. "Number three, identifying a list of individuals that are authorized to respond if ICE comes to the door and then having a clear protocol. And then number four, training everybody who's going to be involved in the proper procedure and making sure they feel ready and confident to respond."
In another clip taken at the same ICE evasion seminar, a leftist social worker named Janice Northia played footage of Trump's border czar, Tom Homan, discussing the efforts by NGOs to help illegal aliens avoid deportation.
"[Homan] is very upset that the community is getting to know their rights," said Northia. "So when we see that's the message that they're giving us, it's showing, right, what it's — the fact that we're being informed is making it difficult for them to do their job."
Northia subsequently ran the audience through ways to identify and avoid ICE agents.
Blaze News reached out to the CPC for comment but did not receive a response by deadline.
"Where are the Chinese-Americans and the Planning in this Council?" Howell quipped on X.
The Oversight Project president told Blaze News, "Opposing basic immigration enforcement policy is one thing, actually being aware of and supporting efforts taken to impede it is a whole different ballgame and one that can get into criminal territory fast."
"Why are our taxpayer dollars going to radical political organizations, which actively seek to undermine the rule of law in our country?" said Anthony Rubin of Muckraker. "Organizations such as the CPC should have no place receiving taxpayer dollars while they engage in anti-law, pro-illegal immigration activism. Such gross misuse of taxpayer funds by partisan activist organizations must be swiftly addressed."
