Joe Biden on Hunter Conviction: ‘I’m Extremely Proud of My Son’
Despite the First Son’s recent conviction, Joe Biden said his son Hunter Biden is still “one of the brightest most decent men I know.”
Asked by a reporter at a G7 Summit event in southern Italy whether he believed Hunter was unfairly politically persecuted, Biden claimed he was “satisfied” with the verdict.
President Biden: “I’m extremely proud of my son Hunter. He has overcome an addiction. He’s one of the brightest most decent men I know…I am satisfied…I said I’d abide by the jury decision. I will do that and I will not pardon him.” pic.twitter.com/ZGf0nHOs2o

“I’m extremely proud of my son, Hunter. He has overcome an addiction,” Biden said, referencing the prolific drug use and debauchery meticulously cataloged in Hunter’s infamous laptop from hell.
“He’s one of the brightest most decent men I know…I am satisfied…I said I’d abide by the jury decision,” Biden continued, adding, “I will do that and I will not pardon him.”
While Biden ruled out issuing a formal presidential pardon of his son, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre on Wednesday didn’t rule out the possibility Biden could commute a prison sentence.
Words have meaning, and Democrats are professionals at mental gymnastics.

A pardon forgives and often forgets the crime, erasing its legal effects.
A commutation just lessens the severity of the sentencing but leaves the conviction intact.

WATCH: Smuggler Jumps From Moving Truck to Waiting Jet Ski During Wild Pursuit in Texas
A suspected human smuggler escaped during a police pursuit by jumping out of a moving vehicle and onto a jet ski waiting in the Rio Grande this week in South Texas, authorities say.
The stunning getaway unfolded on Thursday morning in Mission, a border city in the Rio Grande Valley.
The Texas Department of Public Safety (TxDPS) released footage of the incident in an effort to demonstrate how sophisticated smuggling operations have become.

TxDPS troopers responding to suspicious activity in an area known for human smuggling encountered a white pickup truck traveling at high speed.
The driver sped down a dirt road near the border river, suddenly bailing out while the truck was still moving.
He launched himself into the water and crawled onto the back of a waiting jet ski piloted by an accomplice.
Both suspects absconded back to Mexico.
“The driver left behind a two-way radio used to communicate with criminal smuggling organizations in Mexico,” TxDPS spokesman Lt. Chris Olivarez explained in a statement.
Olivarez said he suspects the truck driven by the smuggler may have been stolen.
A group of illegal aliens waiting to be picked up on the U.S. side of the river also fled back to Mexico on a raft before authorities could apprehend them.
Dangerous smuggling pursuits unfold constantly along the U.S.-Mexico border, as InfoWars frequently reports.

As Inflation Rises, Prepare for Crime
Inflation breeds desperation, and desperation breeds crime.
As central banks in Europe and Canada cut interest rates, and expectations remain that the Fed will wait to cut until at least September if it cuts this year at all, our endlessly-wise global central bankers, the benevolent all-knowing stewards of the global economy, can’t seem to agree on what steps are needed to cool inflation back down to reasonable levels.
But with no hope of ever setting interest rates truly high enough to properly tame price increases and stop the debasement of their ever-depreciating fiat currencies, inflation is set to keep ripping upward no matter what they decide. And when an increasing number of people can’t afford basic necessities, it isn’t rocket science (and doesn’t require a PhD in economics) to figure out what comes next.
From the early 90s to 2022, crime drastically decreased — something that police chiefs, political candidates, and the FBI love to boast about. But the real picture is quite a bit more complex. For example, while the US murder rate in 2020 was still much lower than it was in the early 90s, murder also saw its most dramatic single-year increase ever recorded in that same year. It isn’t hard to see how during the pandemic response — which turned the world into a fishbowl of terror, isolation, confusion, upheaval, and chaos — murders skyrocketed.
While the pandemic was a unique Black Swan event, and the murder rate has normalized and come back down since that very murderous year, economic crises lead to similar conditions of desperation, loneliness, and general despondence. Currently, most forms of violent crime are down in the US in comparison. But from 2019-2023, for example, car thefts rose by an astonishing 28.5%.
In 2022, instead of declining after the smoke had cleared from COVID lockdowns (and the “stimulus” checks had all been spent), property crimes like larceny and car theft went up almost 7%.
U.S. Property Crime Rates 2005-2022
Data Source: Federal Bureau of Investigation, compiled by USA Facts
During that same period (2020-2022), the official CPI numbers from the Bureau of Labor Statistics saw inflation go from about 1.4% to 6.5%. The average inflation in 2020 was reported as 1.2%, and in 2022, the average was 8%. While correlation alone doesn’t prove causation, it seems logically silly to think there’s no connection between rising crime and rising prices for basic needs and a higher resale value for stolen goods.
Plus, those crime numbers only count what was reported to the police. In addition to data coming from an incomplete set of participating law enforcement agencies, around 70% of property crimes are never reported to the police at all. A large number of crimes like larceny, petty theft, embezzling, and robbery don’t get called in for one reason or another.
Inflation doesn’t just increase crime because people are naturally more desperate when they can’t afford food and gas. It also makes certain types of crime, like theft of building materials and copper, more attractive. Car thieves can fetch higher prices for stolen auto parts, and jewelry thieves can get more cash for their loot. The list goes on.
Inflation incentivizes thieves to set their sights on materials that are part of important infrastructure, costing troubled towns and cities millions, disrupting real estate projects, and threatening the functioning of basic services that are dependent on cell towers, car chargers, and electrical station equipment.
As central banks scramble to contain a monster of their own making, shifting numbers on computer screens that move and shake the real lives of actual people, expect the bankers to fail — and expect crime to increase as one of many unfortunate real-world results.

Illegal With Lengthy Rap Sheet Bites Three NYC Cops After Arrest for Shoplifting – Police
An illegal alien who has been arrested nearly 20 times in six months is facing new charges after he allegedly bit three police officers following shoplifting bust in New York City this week, according to reports.
Ysmael Qintero, a male illegal from Venezuela, was apprehended on June 9 while allegedly trying to steal three pairs of jeans from a Target in the Big Apple.
While being taken into custody, Qintero allegedly sank his teeth into an NYPD officer’s arm, causing a significant injury that required medical treatment, the New York Post reports.
Minutes later, Qintero allegedly bit the leg of another officer inside a precinct where he was being processed.
The cop was “only spared because the defendant bit him through his pants,” according to Manhattan Assistant District Attorney Olivia Stevens.
The Venezuelan was transferred to Mount Sinai Hospital and while there, he reportedly chomped on a third officer’s finger.
At the time of the third attack, Qintero was banging his head against a wall and spitting, the injured cop said.
“Our wonderful, beloved asylum seekers … ??❤️❤️”

Qintero was ordered held on $50,000 bail and charged with two counts of assaulting a police officer and petit larceny.
“Qintero has remained on the streets despite racking up 18 petit larceny arrests, one misdemeanor conviction and five failures to appear in court in the past seven months. Those include a May 16 bust for allegedly swiping a bottle of cologne from a display at Macy’s flagship store on 34th Street, sources said,” the Post reports.
InfoWars has been documenting mounting chaos in New York City caused by the surge of illegal migrants since early 2022.

Five Illegals Wanted for Murder Arrested in Texas
Federal immigration authorities arrested five illegal aliens wanted for murder in less than two weeks in Texas.
The troubling slew of apprehensions were carried out between May 23 and June 7 by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents from Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) offices in Houston and Waco.
On May 23, a 38-year-old Honduran illegal wanted for multiple murders in Mexico was caught in Galveston by ERO Houston officers.
The Honduran allegedly killed two gang members “during a botched attempt to highjack a shipment of illicit narcotics,” ICE explained in a press release.
On May 24, a 21-year-old Mexican illegal was arrested in Splendora by ERO Houston officers working with local police.
He is wanted for homicide in Veracruz, Mexico.
On June 3, a 42-year-old Honduran was apprehended in Houston by ERO agents.
He is wanted for murder in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina.
On June 4, a 41-year-old Mexican who was previously deported was caught in Waco where he was illegal residing.
He is wanted for homicide in Durango, Mexico.
On June 7, a 40-year-old Mexican was arrested in Splendora by ERO Houston officers working with local police.
The “three-time voluntarily returned Mexican national” is wanted for murder in San Luis Potosi, Mexico.
“In one case, they were able to successfully locate and arrest an unlawfully present murder fugitive in just seven hours, which is almost unheard of given all of the logistical hurdles and surveillance needed to safely take a dangerous fugitive like that into custody,” ERO Houston Field Office Director Bret A. Bradford said in a statement regarding the busts.
Authorities continue to catch dangerous foreign criminals illegally present in the U.S.
