Biden Press Sec. KJP Won’t Rule Out Joe Commuting Hunter’s Sentence
After weeks of firmly stating the Biden administration would not pardon or commute the First Son Hunter’s recent felony sentence, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre left open the possibility Joe could resort to commutation following sentencing.
A video going viral on X shows several moments where KJP previously stated, “No,” when asked if Joe would either pardon or commute Hunter’s sentence.
Now, on Wednesday, the administration spokesperson danced around a reporter’s question about Biden commuting Hunter’s sentence, saying, “I don’t have anything to say beyond what the president’s statement was yesterday.”
Again asked if Joe Biden would consider commutation, KJP claimed he “already” answered clearly and “very forthright.”
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.

Fox News covered the update Wednesday, with ex-White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany writing, “The White House Press Secretary was asked about whether President Biden has ruled out a commutation for Hunter Biden. Biden has previously ruled out a pardon, but how about a commutation?”

It appears as if the administration is leaving the door open for Hunter to get away with the slap-on-the-wrist crime his daddy’s DOJ came up with to distract the nation from his true crimes involving shady overseas business deals.
There Are Only Downsides to Prolonging the War in Ukraine
Last week, President Joe Biden and a number of top American and European officials met in Normandy to attend a ceremony marking the eightieth anniversary of the D-day invasion. In a pair of speeches, Biden recounted the operation that he said marked the beginning of the “great crusade to liberate Europe from tyranny” before drawing a direct connection to where things stand with the war in Ukraine.
Biden called Russian president Vladamir Putin a tyrant who invaded Ukraine simply because he is “bent on domination.” Biden then renewed one of his favorite tropes, asserting that if Ukraine falls, its people will be subjugated, its neighbors will be in immediate danger, and all of Europe will be threatened by Putin’s aggressive ambitions.
But the West’s chosen depiction of Putin as a tyrant bent on conquering the entire European continent suffered its latest setback last month when it came out that the Russian president is interested in halting the fighting and negotiating a deal that recognizes the current battlefield lines.
Putin is showing this interest even though the Russian military is in a strong position that seems likely to get even stronger. Last year’s long-anticipated Ukrainian counteroffensive was meant to drive Russian forces out of Ukraine. But since its launch last summer, Ukraine has lost more territory than it has gained. Recently, the Russians even launched a brand new incursion into territory around the northeastern city of Kharkiv—territory that had already been recaptured by the Ukrainians in late 2022.
Russia’s minefields, artillery, and punishing glide bombs have not only kept Ukrainian forces from advancing but left them struggling to hold their positions along the current front line. Meanwhile, Russia has significantly boosted war-related production far beyond anything we’re seeing from the West, which, while bad for the Russian economy in the long run, ensures the intensity of Russia’s bombing and shelling will not cease anytime soon.
At the same time, the Ukrainian government is facing a serious shortage of soldiers that no amount of foreign aid or equipment transfers can do anything to alleviate. Earlier this year, the Ukrainian parliament passed a law that sought to boost conscription rates by making it easier for the government to find and identify draft-eligible men. But the problem persists, leading Ukrainian officials to tap into the country’s prison population, cut consular services to military-aged Ukrainian men living abroad, and forbid men who are dual citizens from leaving Ukraine. As the country’s supply of young men runs low, the average age of a Ukrainian soldier has climbed to forty-three years old.
What makes Ukraine’s situation even more tragic is how easily it could have been avoided. One month after Russia invaded in early 2022, both sides reached an agreement where Russia would pull back to preinvasion boundaries and, in return, Ukraine would agree to not seek NATO membership.
The deal could have put an end to the fighting and handed Kyiv control of all the land Russia had just seized. But, according to senior negotiators on both sides and high-level mediators from the various countries facilitating the talks, officials from the United Kingdom and the United States convinced the Ukrainians to walk away from the deal and fight.
Since then, Ukraine’s leverage over Russia has only diminished. Many Ukrainians have been killed or maimed as the war has devolved into a brutal trench-style artillery war. Meanwhile, Russia laid permanent claim to the land it had earlier agreed to hand back to Ukraine.
Even with its extensive conscription laws, Ukraine does not have enough soldiers to break through Russia’s now heavily fortified lines, much less to drive Russian forces out of all the territory claimed by Kyiv. The Ukrainians have, so far, been able to prevent the Russians from advancing and seizing all the territory that Moscow now claims. But with their dwindling numbers, Ukrainian forces won’t be able to hold these lines forever.
So, accepting Russia’s offer to move this conflict from the battlefield to the negotiation table is almost certainly the best chance Ukraine will get to hold onto the eastern territory they still control.
But rather than take this opportunity, the Ukrainian government and its backers in Europe and the United States have instead decided to escalate the conflict with risky, strategically pointless provocations.
President Biden and a number of other European heads of state recently gave Ukraine a green light to use NATO weapons to conduct strikes within Russia. Around the same time, Ukraine struck two Russian strategic nuclear early-warning radars and attempted to strike a third one deeper in Russian territory.
And, as if hampering Russia’s ability to confirm that they are not under a nuclear attack after allowing Ukraine to shoot US missiles into Russia wasn’t enough, the US then test-fired two nuclear intercontinental ballistic missiles—launching them four thousand miles from California to the Marshall Islands.
The escalations have not been one-sided. Russia conducted drills simulating the use of strategic nuclear weapons in Belarus and has sent warships and a submarine to the Caribbean. The Russians have also stepped up shelling and airstrikes in Ukraine in response to the strikes on their territory.
None of this is necessary. The strikes on Russian territory have not translated to Ukrainian gains on the battlefield. And the Russian early-warning radar Ukraine hit wasn’t even aimed at Ukrainian airspace. All these escalations do is prolong the Ukrainian people’s suffering while nudging the world closer to a catastrophic nuclear accident. Instead of fantasizing about waging some World War II–level offensive on Putin’s Russia, Biden and his friends in NATO should come back to reality and, before it’s too late, agree to work this conflict out with words for a change.

Chinese Central Bank Halts Gold Acquisitions
China has called quits on its 18-month gold buying spree, causing precious metal prices to stumble this week as the world’s largest buyer unexpectedly closes its tab.
In 2023, the People’s Bank of China purchased more gold than any of the world’s other central banks, swelling its reserves of the precious metal to more than 2,000 tons to break free from the U.S. dollar standard. Chinese consumers have been following suit, amassing gold coins, bars, and jewelry as Chinese stocks, currency, and real estate have succumbed to economic volatility and plunging value.
“China is unquestionably driving the price of gold,” said Ross Norman, chief executive of MetalsDaily.com, told The New York Times last month. “The flow of gold to China has gone from solid to an absolute torrent.”
Now, data from last month indicates the PBC’s shopping spree is over–at least temporarily. The policy switch-up caught many investors by surprise late last week, but experts say there’s precedent for such a change.
“PBC has never been a constant buyer,” Carsten Menke, an analyst at Julius Baer, told Reuters. “There have been distinct phases of buying followed by multi-month breaks.”
This time, the slowdown may be caused by the record prices China’s policies have helped to fuel. Any temporary reduction in purchases from the world’s largest gold importer will ease pressure on supply chains, causing prices to drift downward as gold becomes more readily accessible. Once prices fall, the bank could resume buying at more favorable rates until prices soar again.
But that’s not all. If China can convince gold buyers that it won’t resume its previous purchasing policy, the downward price pressure could be augmented by fears of a slow market recovery. It’s a profitable strategy for a bank looking to take advantage of skittish investors, and it could explain why Chinese analysts and officials have provided no comment on the change so far, letting panic and secrecy work their magic.
If that’s the goal, it looks like things are going to plan. According to Blue Line futures’ chief market strategist Phillip Streible, the sell-off that triggered gold’s price drop is excessive over fundamentals. That creates an opportunity for “bargain hunters [who] are surfacing at this lower price point,” he told Reuters–possibly including the PBC itself.
“A desire to reduce exposure to dollar-denominated assets is not a new theme when it comes to China’s reserve management in recent years,” Metals Focus analysts wrote in a recent report. Though not exclusive to China, the analysts concluded: “If anything, the upcoming 2024 US presidential election may result in additional geopolitical instability. Against this backdrop, interest in adding gold reserves is likely to remain high for the rest of the year.”
It’s unlikely that China is withdrawing from the metals market, though its focus may have temporarily shifted. Amid global fears of a copper shortage, Chinese stockpiles of the base metal have puzzled investors by expanding when they should be contracting. Speculation of production cuts among Chinese companies is driving prices still higher outside the country, opening another possibility to profit from metals purchases in the wake of Chinese stockpiling and efforts to remain aloof from the greenback standard.
Even if Chinese gold purchases dry up for longer than expected or are cut off altogether, there’s still good news for precious metal investors looking to capitalize on steadily rising prices. Counteracting the reduced demand are concerns about a reduced supply, following a report from the World Gold Council that precious metal deposits are growing harder to find.
“I think the overwhelming story there is: after 10 years of rapid growth from around 2008, the mining industry is struggling to report sustained growth in production,” John Reade, WGC’s chief market strategist, told NBC. “It’s getting harder to find gold, permit it, finance it, and operate it.”
Despite the startlingly optimistic U.S. payroll report, another factor behind gold’s brief stumble this week, investor concerns about the new inflation report and Fed policy announcement are pushing investors to hedge their bets. The convergence of changes in both domestic and international policy will bring new upheavals–and new profit opportunities–in metals markets this week.

Star Wars ‘The Acolyte’ Mocked For Featuring Lesbian Space Witches Who Use The Force to Get Pregnant
Disney’s Star Wars “The Acolyte” was roundly mocked on social media over a scene featuring lesbian space witch covens using the Force to get pregnant.
Disney head Kathleen Kennedy and showrunner Leslye Headland were singularly blamed for destroying the Star Wars franchise after a scene circulating on social media showed a group of witches performing an occult ritual praising the “power of one, the power of two” and “the power of many.”
This is Disney Star Wars

In Star Wars lore, microscopic organisms called midichlorians found in one’s blood give the ability to wield the Force, a high concentration of which was found in Anakin Skywalker, the boy who would later become Darth Vader, who was revealed to have been immaculately conceived on the desert planet Tatooine.
But “The Acolyte”, which takes place 100 years before the events of Episode I, reveals that Anakin Skywalker was not the only one immaculately conceived in the Star Wars universe.
“The Acolyte” twins Osha and Mae learn that they were “created” by the head of the witches coven and “carried” by another woman within the group thanks to the power of the Force.
The Acolyte’s ridiculous occult witches scene was brutally panned on X.
“This doesn’t look like Star Wars. It looks like a bunch of Leftists putting a blood curse on Donald Trump,” one user noted.

Showrunner Headland last week bragged that “The Acolyte” would be the “gayest Star Wars yet by a considerable margin” without a hint of irony.
“People have told me that it’s the gayest Star Wars,” Headland said, “and frankly I am into it.”

South Park earlier this year ridiculed Kennedy after she took control of Lucasfilm and inserted woke identity politics into Disney, Star Wars and Marvel movies.
Animation series South Park nailed it when they did a show on Disney and the panderverse. Kathleen Kennedy, like many others, is pandering to 7% of people thinking they will boost profits when, in reality, they are destroying their franchise.

How Bad Economic Policies Drive Out Good Entrepreneurs
Gresham’s law states that bad money drives out good money. Gresham’s law goes something like this: overvalued money that has less actual value circulates in a market economy, and the undervalued money with the same face value but whose metal has more value is hoarded and thus goes away. People move the good money out of an economy for future use in better markets, while the bad money is circulated and takes over as a common economic good.
What does Gresham’s law have to do with entrepreneurship, what we call the gig economy, and bad economic policy? Well, there have been recent changes in the classification of gig entrepreneurial contractors. Contractors are slowly losing their entrepreneurial independence in the freedom of what we call the gig economy. These changes and mandates are signs of an anti-gig, anti-free-market sentiment. So, if Gresham says that bad money drives out the good money, the same can be said of good entrepreneurs—they are driven out of gig economies by bad policies.
Unfortunately, recently, there has been an attempt to enact regulation on the gig economy that will drain its life force, making entrepreneurs and contractors full-time employees of the firms they service; this is absolutely unfavorable for real people seeking to be independent entrepreneurs. More importantly, these policies are chipping away at markets that are free to enter. The gig economy is the final free market. When free markets are hampered, entrepreneurs disappear. What drives them away? Bad economic policies.
In the past, gig work was a backstream platform for musicians who could not break into the mainstream, and the gig economy was a marketplace free of mainstream constraints, where they could break through and find an audience. Contractors and entrepreneurs engage in gigs to make money, supplement full-time earnings, try a new profession, or support a hobby. For example, many country and blues musicians started a name for themselves in the gig market and later became superstars on the music scene.
However, the gig market is not just for musicians; now, in its current form, it encompasses many other fields and industries. When you travel, do you take an Uber or stay in an Airbnb? When you order fast food, do you order food via an app with door delivery? For instance, the start of Airbnb in the gig economy has now become a service that has revolutionized how we travel and choose lodging. Also, in its early years on the gig circuit, Airbnb was an excellent disrupter and challenger to the conventional hotel and travel industry. We cannot use these services without giving thanks to the gig economy.
Unfortunately, some believe the gig economy is synonymous with a “sharing” economy. To say that a sharing economy and the gig economy are the same is false. Sharing implies no loss to the entrepreneur. Also, it does not help sound economic policymaking to marvel at the possibility of when consumers will one day stop spending and start sharing. The problem with the sharing economy is that it does not connote private property or ownership, which can lead one to error if left out of the equation.
What happens when bad policies drive out value-creating entrepreneurs? Advocates of free markets have been shouting from the rooftops that bad policies that restrict entrepreneurs from discovering new processes, products, and services that can build supply and enable technology to serve real people can only happen in an unhampered economy. The policy to scrap the gig economy and make everyone in it an employee of a firm will end up hurting the people the gig economy can help.
We know that good entrepreneurs flourish when they are free to use their intellect and personal resources. Moreover, it is not just the entrepreneurs who see the gig economy no longer working in their favor; so are businesses that partner with contractors and entrepreneurs. Fast Company states, “Major business groups have strongly opposed the new rule, arguing that it could lead to burdensome costs and job cuts.” These bad policies come at an inopportune time, considering rising prices and rises in the cost of the production of goods; real people need a side hustle to keep up with inflation.
As we can see, bad entrepreneurs will move in and benefit from bad policies, and good entrepreneurs will move out of the gig world. The entrepreneurs who create more value will disappear from the gig economy and go elsewhere. In real terms, stay-at-home parents, small community-based businesses, investors, technology start-ups, first-time entrepreneurs, and retirees seeking to participate in the economy who prefer not to be strapped down with full employment will disappear.
Despite what some say, we must remember that the gig economy does not operate effectively under less-free conditions. Without the legal freedom to contract and use personal property as such, the very essence of the person’s individuality is destroyed. This drives out entrepreneurs who would otherwise seek to use their intellect and property to do good for other people.
The economic costs of driving out the good entrepreneurs in the gig economy will spike prices for products, services, and production costs; decrease consumer value and satisfaction; and invariably produce offerings of lesser quality. Because of the anti-free market sentiment as well as stifling regulation and mandates, consumers unwillingly acquiesce to bad entrepreneurs in bad markets and everything that comes along with it. The consumers get accustomed to lackluster offerings, and the good entrepreneurs are driven away.
Driving good entrepreneurs out with bad economic policies creates a concentrated benefit for the few but creates costs for the many. So naturally you ask, well, who are the bad entrepreneurs? Bad entrepreneurs are those people who decide to no longer be entrepreneurs, who do not receive a profit or loss based on market conditions, and who do not have empathy or care for the consumer. These entrepreneurs will seek government favors and use the government to create monopoly conditions for themselves while saddling extra costs on potential competitors, thus driving out the good entrepreneurs.
