BIDEN ADMINISTRATION

'My Family Doesn't Have Any Money': Hunter Biden Says He's Too Broke To Own a Car or Phone in Deposition Over Unpaid Legal Fees

Biden's former lawyer, Abbe Lowell, speculated that his former firm is suing Biden to get in good graces with the Trump administration

July 30, 2026Call it pleading the thrift.

Hunter Biden claimed under oath earlier this year that he's so broke he doesn't even own a car or a cellphone, and said his family is too strapped for cash to help him pay off millions in unpaid legal bills.

The former first son painted a bleak picture of his own and of Biden family finances during a Feb. 9 deposition in his legal battle with powerhouse law firm Winston Taylor, which sued Biden in June 2025 for allegedly stiffing the firm out of $17 million accrued from representing Biden in federal criminal cases, congressional investigations, and defamation lawsuits Biden brought against his enemies.

"I don't have any assets. I don't own a car. I don't own a phone," Biden said in the deposition, according to a transcript released this week.

"I don't own anything of any value other than—and I don't know the value of it—my paintings which I painted myself," Biden testified. "So that's it. And I don't even have any other assets at all, stocks, bonds, anything like that, savings accounts."

Biden, who recently landed a job at a luxury Los Angeles addiction treatment center, also claimed his father and other relatives are unable to bail him out.

"My family doesn't have any money, and it's not their debt anyway," he said.

It’s a stunning fall from grace for a Yale-trained attorney who made millions of dollars a year trading off the Biden name when his father was vice president. Biden famously blew the money on a raging crack cocaine and alcohol addiction, luxury hotels for days-long sex and drug sessions with prostitutes, and jewels for his then-girlfriend, the widow of his late brother Beau.

Biden’s deposition also raises questions about the status of his extended family’s finances.

Former president Joe Biden reportedly received a $10 million advance for a book scheduled for release in November, and former first lady Jill Biden likely got a hefty book advance from her memoir, published in June. The book peaked at #1 on the New York Times best-seller list, though juiced by "bulk" sales.

But Biden family observers say the book advance—whittled away by taxes and agents’ fees and paid out in chunks over several years—may be the last big check the Bidens will ever see. Joe Biden, who has stage IV cancer, has struggled to pull in large speaking fees—usually a font of easy money for ex-presidents—and has also struggled to raise money for his presidential library. The Joe Biden gravy train—which provided income opportunities for Hunter Biden and his uncle and aunt—has dried up. The larger brood of Biden grandchildren have racked up enormous tuition bills at private boarding schools and the University of Pennsylvania.

Hunter Biden's current lawyers released his deposition and that of his former attorney, Abbe Lowell, as part of a rebuttal to Winston Taylor’s request that Biden turn over emails and encrypted text messages as part of the discovery portion of the lawsuit. Biden has fought the discovery request, saying he has turned over all relevant documents related to the lawsuit.

While Biden does not dispute that Winston Taylor is still owed millions of dollars on paper, he claims the firm knew when it agreed to represent him in late 2022 that he would be unable to pay all of his bills.

Biden says that Lowell, the D.C. superlawyer who left Winston & Strawn (as Winston Taylor was formerly known) last year, told him not to worry about paying his legal bills.

According to Biden, Lowell, who represents multiple Democratic figures in legal battles with the Trump administration, approached him after the 2022 midterm elections about providing legal representation.

"Abbe had reached out to one of my other lawyers offering his help," said Biden. And, according to Biden, Lowell downplayed concerns about paying legal bills.

"He absolutely at the beginning said, 'Don't worry, we'll work it out, we'll work something out,'" Biden testified.

And according to Biden, it was Lowell’s idea to sue IRS whistleblowers Gary Shapley and Joseph Ziegler, both of whom revealed information that led to Biden’s federal indictment on tax evasion charges. Lowell also proposed litigation against former Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani and former Trump White House aide Garrett Ziegler (no relation to Joseph Ziegler), both of whom led the charge to publish information from Biden’s abandoned laptop.

"It was all part of a whole strategy that was instituted by Abbe, Winston," said Biden. 

Lowell, who was also deposed for the lawsuit, said he tried to help the younger Biden raise money through third-party donors and within the "Democratic ecosystem" to cover his legal bills. Lowell said he had discussions with Bob Bauer, a former Obama White House counsel and a personal attorney to Joe Biden, about raising money for Hunter Biden and about setting up a legal defense fund and a 501(c)(4) political nonprofit to help cover the costs.

Lowell said in the deposition that his friends were confused and "bewildered" why Winston Taylor would sue Biden for money they knew he didn’t have. Asked if he thought his former firm was suing in order to get in good standing with the Trump administration, Lowell replied that "I don't have any evidence, but I can say that it is something that people have raised the question about."

In addition to scoring the job with the rehab firm, Biden also won a $1.7 million default defamation judgment earlier this month from former Overstock CEO Patrick Byrne regarding accusations Byrne made about Biden and Iran. Winston Taylor immediately sought to place a lien on the judgment, which Byrne, who is believed to be overseas, may never pay anyway.

Biden is also facing legal action from former stripper Lunden Roberts, the mother of his daughter Navy, who claims Biden is a deadbeat dad and is not meeting his child support obligations.

Biden’s lawyers have described him as "impecunious" and living abroad, though Biden’s regular appearances in various U.S. podcast studios in recent months suggest he is living in the United States. On Thursday he appeared on the Barstool Sports Macrodosing podcast, which was taped at its Chicago studios.

The evidence is in: Islam: when they tell you they want to kill you, believe them

Islam: when they tell you they want to kill you, believe them

We must decide, and soon, if a “religion” that preaches slavery and mass slaughter of those who refuse to convert is compatible with American religious liberty.

In Terminello v. City of Chicago (1949), Supreme Court Associate Justice Robert Jackson wrote: 

"The choice is not between order and liberty. It is between liberty with order and anarchy without either. There is danger that, if the court does not temper its doctrinaire logic with a little practical wisdom, it will convert the constitutional Bill of Rights into a suicide pact."

It has also been said that some Muslims don’t want to kill infidels. They just want other Muslims to do it for them.

There are certainly Muslims that don’t want to kill anyone, nor do they want other Muslims to kill anyone. The horror of it is they’re not living the text and intention of their faith, and Muslims that are think them apostates and do want to kill them.

While the First Amendment guarantees freedom of religion, we now must determine how far that freedom goes and whether it amounts to a civilizational suicide pact. In his Notes on the State of Virginia, Thomas Jefferson wrote:

The error seems not sufficiently eradicated, that the operations of the mind, as well as the acts of the body, are subjects to the coercion of the laws. But our rulers can have authority over such natural rights only as we have submitted to them. The rights of conscience we never submitted, we could not submit. We are answerable for them to our God. The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as are injurious to others. But it does me no injury for my neighbour to say there are twenty gods, or no god. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.


We must make that determination, because Islam means to do us injury and will kill us.  At the Gatestone Institute, Bassam Tawil explains: 

Muslim imams in the United States continue to teach jihadist ideology and Islamic supremacism, promote anti-Western sentiments and antisemitism, and incite violence against non-Muslims.

How many Muslims are in the US?  An estimate of 2.5 million might be low.

Mosques in the United States also distribute manuals such as Reliance of the Traveler and Sahih Bukhari, which authorize violent jihad, slavery, and killing apostates and non-Muslims. According to Jihad Watch:

"These manuals describe in detail for Muslims to carry out physical (fighting) Jihad, Child marriages (authorized), Slavery (authorized), the beating of women (authorized), killing of non-Muslims and even Muslims who are not Sharia compliant, informing Muslims to never take as friends Christians and Jews, killing of Apostates of Islam (authorized anywhere in the world), and the describing the objective of Islam which is to establish an Islamic Ummah (nation) worldwide and under Sharia law."

These are not the faulty interpretations of Islamist radicals. They take their exhortations to mass murder directly from the text of the Quran.

In An American mullah calls for Jihad, I wrote of mullah Ragab Abdelmoneim of Alabama, of all places:

 “In a now widely circulated video on social media,” according to 1819 News, “Abdelmoneim called for Muslims to expand Sharia law by any means necessary, including through bloodshed.”

This is hardly surprising, because Islam is a political system with religious trappings. Throughout America, Muslims are establishing insular Muslim enclaves, no-go zones for non-Muslims, including the police, where the medieval brutality of Sharia law rules. 

In Islamists are here, and with deadly intent, I wrote about the Muslim Brotherhood, whose credo states:

“God is our objective, the Koran is our Constitution, the Prophet is our leader, struggle [jihad] is our way, and death for the sake of God is the highest of our aspirations.”

And CAIR, whose co-founder said: 

“Islam isn’t in America to be equal to any other faith, but to become dominant. The Koran … should be the highest authority in America, and Islam the only accepted religion on Earth.”

In 2026, a Muslim woman prayed before the Illinois Legislature and said Islam is “woven into the fabric of this nation [America.]” I also wrote of a useful idiot Texas principal who celebrated “World Hijab Day.” Texas is a particular target of Islamists who have been trying to establish a Muslim-only town featuring Sharia Law. TX Governor Greg Abbott isn’t having it:

Graphic: X Post

It’s always best to listen to people, and to believe them, when they very clearly express their intention to enslave or kill you. Islam is fundamentally and violently incompatible with Western Civilization, and particularly America, which Islamists call the “great Satan.” That’s not just rhetoric of the kind American politicians lob and forget.

We must decide, and soon, if a “religion” that preaches slavery and mass slaughter of those who refuse to convert is compatible with American religious liberty. The answer will define, and potentially, end us.

India to Climate Cartel: Count Us Out

India to Climate Cartel: Count Us Out


https://amgreatness.com/2026/08/01/india-to-climate-cartel-count-us-out/


The narrative of a rapidly degrading Indian environment due to energy consumption is demonstrably false.

By 

Sometimes a story gets buried not because editors conspire against it, but because the news cycle has room for only one crisis at a time. This year the big news has been the Iran war. But even accounting for competing headlines, the silence around a genuinely consequential development is telling.

And that is the story of India’s explicit rejection of the global net zero movement. India has walked away from its bid to host the COP33 UN climate conference, and the world’s climate press has treated it as a footnote rather than the signal it is.

India had spent years projecting a rising voice in the development of climate policy, and hosting a COP33 is the closest thing the bureaucracy has to a coronation. Then, quietly, without public explanation, India withdrew its offer. No press conference. No elaboration. Just a government stepping back from a role for which it auditioned for years.

The truth is India has run the numbers on the cost of a net-zero energy transition for a population of 1.4 billion climbing out of poverty, and it does not like what it sees. The notion that India should shackle its economy by adhering to restrictive climate policies, while its people still grapple with energy deficits, is illogical and morally indefensible.

Data India Doesn’t Need a Summit to See

Furthermore, the narrative of a rapidly degrading Indian environment due to energy consumption is demonstrably false. India’s own environmental indicators do not support the apocalyptic framing of the climate-obsessed.

For years, hydrologists and climate modelers have relied on estimates of Himalayan snowfall to forecast water availability for hundreds of millions of people across South Asia’s most fertile Ganges plains. Their projections of a seriously drier India, it turns out, were wrong.

A team of researchers, including scientists from the British Antarctic Survey, the U.K. Met Office, and the Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur, used frozen high-altitude lakes as natural pressure sensors rather than relying on undersized conventional rain gauges. What they found was startling: In a single winter, the best available snowfall models had underestimated seasonal snow over the Lake Hampta area of Himachal Pradesh by 37 percent. The peer-reviewed study makes clear that conventional instruments have been missing large volumes of snow for decades.

Then there is the vegetation story, which cuts even harder against the doom narrative. Researchers at the Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology modeled how India’s landscape would respond to a high-emissions future using the same family of computer models climate activists cite when warning of catastrophe.

The result was not desertification. It was the opposite. Gross primary production, a measure of how much carbon dioxide India’s forests, croplands, and other vegetation are absorbing, rose from roughly 729 grams of carbon per square meter annually in 1985 to about 830 by 2014 and is projected to nearly double to around 1,305 by the year 2100.

Layered onto that are the steady expansion of India’s forest cover over the past two decades and the recovering populations of endangered species such as tigers and Asiatic lions, successes resulting from conservation and habitat management rather than from decarbonization mandates.

All this means India has stopped outsourcing its environmental judgment to a U.N. process that treats every barrel of oil and every ton of coal as a moral affront, regardless of its benefit in lighting a clinic for children or powering a steel plant that employs thousands. A country that still has hundreds of millions of citizens without reliable access to electricity does not have the luxury of treating energy poverty as an acceptable trade-off for leadership in the climate industrial complex.

That is why India has expanded coal production and struck oil and gas deals with the United States and Persian Gulf producers. It has resisted binding emissions targets that would cap its own industrial growth, unwilling to commit to far-off targets for emission reductions. India’s relinquishment of COP33 hosting rights is perhaps the most visible expression of a strategic direction that has been building for years.

A country that the entire architecture of climate financing is supposedly built to help just declined to host the party. If climate summits worked as advertised, that would be unthinkable. But it is no longer, and pretending otherwise will not make the next withdrawal any less predictable.

African Migrants Loot Homes and Stores in Ceuta, Defecate in the Streets, Attack Citizens (VIDEOS)

African Migrants Loot Homes and Stores in Ceuta, Defecate in the Streets, Attack Citizens (VIDEOS)

By  

Almost immediately after tens of thousands of Africans invaded the Spanish city of Ceuta, all hell broke loose, with chaos flooding the streets. 

As The Gateway Pundit reported, European leaders are panicking over the chaos, with Spain’s Socialist Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez declaring that Spain is “under attack” after more than 50,000 Africans poured across the small city’s border.

The world is finally getting a wake-up call– years after watching tens of millions of violent criminals flood the United States to rape and pillage our country.

Video from the invasion on Thursday shows the thousands of military-aged African migrants, all men, pouring across the wide-open border.


Another video shows thousands of invaders lined up on the beach and crossing into Spanish territory by simply walking around the fence or swimming, with no border enforcement.

WATCH:

Inevitably, the alien invaders began breaking into homes immediately after arriving on Thursday night, according to David Santos, director of the Spanish outlet La Bandera.

Then, they started looting businesses.

WATCH:

Video shared by Visegrad also shows invaders attacking cars of displeased citizens as they drive by:

La Bandera’s David Santos shared a video of a migrant defecating in the street.



White House officials responded to the chaos by likening it to the Democrats’ policies here in the US.

“These images out of Spain are an unfortunate reminder of the consequences of mass migration and the radical left-wing globalist policies that have enabled the Invasion of the West,” Vice President JD Vance wrote on X.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said, “If the Democrats take back power, they will immediately reopen our border and allow millions of unvetted migrants to pour into our country again.”
