The grand jury considering evidence in the Hunter Biden tax probe heard nearly five hours of secret testimony from an ex-girlfriend who’s furious she got dumped after urging him to get off drugs, The Post has learned.
Zoe Kestan, 28, appeared before the panel in Wilmington, Del., on Tuesday, a source familiar with her testimony said.
Her turn on the witness stand came immediately after an appearance by the former stripper with whom Biden, 52, has an out-of-wedlock child, the source said.
One of the people behind the American Freedom Convoy revealed to Fox News on Monday that the truckers are planning to besiege the US capital, squeezing it like a “boa constrictor.”
Bob Bolus said the protesters’ main gripe was vaccine mandates, and to make the US government ditch those, the Convoy planned to “circle Washington DC” much like a “giant boa constrictor,” which, as he put it, “squeezes you, chokes you, and then swallows you.” The activist went on to warn “that’s what we’re going to do to DC.”
The three men who were found guilty last November of murdering Ahmaud Arbery are also guilty of federal hate crime charges, a jury ruled Tuesday.
The three defendants, Travis McMichael, his father, Gregory McMichael, and William “Roddie” Bryan, pleaded not guilty to the charges, but the jury ultimately concluded that they violated Arbery’s civil rights and had a racial motivation in their pursuit of him.
The Canada that Canadians now view every day is not the sensible, reasonable, and generous society that Canadians of all stripes have built up over many generations.
It has become polarized, nasty and barely recognizable.
Just listen to people talking in stores, on the street, and in meeting places.
Eight Conservatives from Eastern Canada are appealing to former Quebec Premier Jean Charest’s “sense of duty” in running for the Conservative Party of Canada leadership, with hopes of unifying Canadians and restoring Canada’s economy and reputation worldwide.
Do they honestly think this will pass muster?
Justin Trudeau’s Canada is tyrannical government by the mediocre
At last, Canada has been freed from the menacing threat of bouncy castles. The bouncy castles first appeared in Ottawa earlier this month, brought in by the truckers who were peacefully protesting Covid restrictions and who Prime Minister Justin Trudeau later compared to Nazis. And you can understand why. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve walked into a McDonald’s PlayPlace and felt the dark night of fascism descending all around me.
It is prudent to regard Ottawa as enemy territory and its public service predator class as pirates.
Male swimmer Lia Thomas and his Ivy League allies publicly snatched several athletic prizes from gagged women during the weekend, yet the pro-transgender establishment media ignored the sexual drama.
“They’re just trying to blunt force this [transgender claim] through,” said Natasha Chart, a feminist activist and critic of transgenderism. “They’ve got this strategy of smearing and shouting down their opponents now that they can’t absolutely shut down the [public] debate.”
Pressed hard for an Emergencies Act justification with the protests gone, border blockades down and convoy leaders in custody, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau reached deep into his leadership vacuum for rationalizations.
The emergency demanding the unprecedented use of the Act was . . . hesitant tow truck drivers, the prime minister declared.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has ordered troops into two rebel-held regions in eastern Ukraine, after recognising them as independent states.
Russia said the troops have not yet been deployed but will be “peacekeeping” in the regions, which it has backed since 2014.
The US said calling them peacekeepers was “nonsense”, and accused Russia of creating a pretext for war.
Several countries have announced sanctions in response.
Ukraine’s president said his country was “not afraid of anything or anyone”.
Poor Ukraine.
Where is the imminent, national security threat to Canada that merits the continued application of the Emergencies Act, approved Monday night by the Trudeau government with the “reluctant” support of NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh, while the Conservatives and Bloc Quebecois were opposed?
The extraordinary powers the act gives the government since Prime Minister Justin Trudeau invoked it last Monday, will now be in effect for up to 30 days until mid-March, when it will expire, unless Parliament further extends it.
Another Toronto middle school investigating alleged antisemitic incident involving Nazi salute
… It happened at Valley Park Middle School, in the Overlea Boulevard and Don Mills Road area, back on Feb. 17.
The school did not provide details about the circumstances surrounding the incident in a letter sent home to parents, only calling it “upsetting and unacceptable.”
But in a news release issued on Tuesday the Friends of Simon Wiesenthal Center shed further light on what happened, based on conversations with a Grade 8 teacher who was present.
They said that the teacher, who is Jewish, reported that two students “stood up on a filing cabinet and performed the Nazi salute” in her classroom while a third shouted “Heil Hitler” from their desk.
This is a link to my original post on the Mosqueteria scandal. As it gained traction the MSM was forced to pay attention. It’s from way back in 2011, subsequently I learned from an insider that the Star chose to sit on this story many months in advance of my post – Islamic Ritual Prayer Conducted At Toronto District School Board Middle School
The RCMP, banking sector and federal government said Monday that account-freezing powers bestowed under the Emergencies Act to help authorities deal with convoy protests do not affect donors to the protests, despite unsubstantiated claims by a Conservative MP that a constituent had her bank account frozen over a $50 contribution.
“At no time, did we provide a list of donors to Financial Institutions,” the RCMP said in a statement Monday.
The agency said while it had sent financial institutions a list of accounts to monitor and freeze, those accounts belonged to “individuals and companies suspected of involvement in illegal acts,” such as “influencers in the illegal protest in Ottawa” and vehicle owners and drivers “who did not want to leave the area impacted by the protest.”

Hamsters’ testicles shrink with Covid-19 – study
Researchers have found that Covid-19 infection in hamsters causes several unwanted effects on their reproductive organs. The infection results in shrunken testicles, an acute decrease in sperm count, and a reduction in testosterone levels. The study, published on Friday in the peer-reviewed journal ‘Clinical Infectious Diseases’, was undertaken at the University of Hong Kong.
OTTAWA — Tamara Lich, one of the key organizers of the anti-vaccine mandate protests in Ottawa, has been denied bail.
An Ontario court judge issued the decision in Ottawa this morning, saying she was not convinced Lich would not reoffend.
The Freedom Convoy moved its fundraising activities to GiveSendGo after GoFundMe, a leftist-owned platform, froze a fundraiser that previously raised over $10 million.
GiveSendGo has since been the target of leftist cyberattacks, which has seen the names of donors leak onto the internet. Despite a policy against sharing hacked materials, Twitter has done nothing to stop the hacked data, which has been used by establishment journalists to dox and harass donors, to spread.
