The issue , however , says Johnson , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ refused to cooperate with his panel for information and documents that would aid in questioning witnesses .
The damning report is expected to detail Joe and Hunter Biden ’ s business connections to the Ukrainian gas giant Burisma , in which Hunter Biden was a paid board member .
According to reports Hunter Biden was paid roughly $ 50,000 plus per month by the energy giant .
His position on the gas company ’ s board has been questioned by both members of the GOP and some Democrats , who have noted that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ has no experience in energy companies and does not speak Russian .
Moreover , as previously reported by SaraACarter.com , Johnson ’ s committee has been investigating Hunter Biden ’ s employment to Burisma because it came at the same time his father was heading the Ukraine policy for former President Obama during his tenure .
“ My game plan is to get this Ukraine report out as quickly as possible , ” said Johnson , who chairs the Senate committee , and wants Americans to understand that there are numerous questions regarding @ @ @ @ @ @ @ not have been answered or investigated .
“ I ’ m hopeful our report will turn some heads because my goal is to get the truth out to the American people , ” he said .

“ The Russians , the Chinese , work to sow seeds of chaos particularly during an election – they don ’ t care who wins they just see the advantage the gain when the nation is divided , ” said a former senior U.S. Intelligence official , who spoke on condition of anonymity , due to their current employment .
However , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ between the former Vice President , his son and the Ukrainian gas giant are substantial and “ shouldn ’ t be ignored .

” As for Johnson , he said he is also pushing FBI Director Christopher Wray to produce a slew of documentation that his committee has @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the panel can appropriately question witnesses that are being subpoenaed .
The chairman , whose committee has subpoenaed a number of former senior Obama officials , stressed that the FBI has done everything to keep the documents they ’ ve requested from the lawmakers and from being revealed to the public .

saraacater--2020-09-21--Justice Ginsburg To Lie In State Wednesday, Thursday

The late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is to lie in state Wednesday and Thursday at the Supreme Court building , the Court announced Monday morning in a press release .
Her passing on Friday evening has set the stage for an intense battle in the Senate about whether or not to wait until after the election to appoint her replacement .
President Donald Trump and most Senate Republicans , led by Majority Leader Mitch McConnell ( Ky. ) , want to replace her right away , while Democrats are fighting to ensure her replacement in the highest court comes after @ @ @ @ @ @ @ four Republican senators to join them if they are to thwart McConnell and Trump .
So far , only two Republicans , Sens .
Susan Collins ( Maine ) and Lisa Murkowski ( Ala. ) , have said they want to wait until after November 3 .
This follows the drama following the death of Justice Antonin Scalia in 2016 , in which McConnell and Senate Republicans argued that his replacement should wait until after that year ’ s election .
What complicates matters is that this election is expected to be more @ @ @ @ @ @ @ speculation that the election could potentially be decided by the Supreme Court , just as it did during the 2000 election .
Immediately following news of Ginsburg ’ s death , masses of people convened at the steps of the courthouse to pay their respects .
Ginsburg , who had already established herself as a trailblazing figure for women rights , was appointed to the Supreme Court in 1993 with a 96-3 confirmation vote .
This made her the first Jewish woman to be appointed to the Court .
A private ceremony will @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Wednesday at 9:30 am , attended by the Justice ’ s family , close friends , and other members of the Court .
The public will be allowed to pay its respects to Ginsburg in front of the building at roughly 11 a.m. , after the private ceremony .
Next week , a private interment service will be held at the Arlington National Cemetery .

UPDATE:
In a significant turn of events, Attorney General Merrick Garland made a surprising announcement on Friday, elevating Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss to the role of special counsel. This decision marks a shift in focus towards the investigation of the Biden family’s financial matters. The probe, which encompasses Hunter Biden’s tax affairs and any potential connections his father, President Joe Biden, might have with his foreign associates, is slated to extend into the 2024 election cycle. Interestingly, this move comes as former President Donald Trump is simultaneously facing two federal indictments from the same department.
Garland stressed that the decision to appoint Weiss as an independent prosecutor aligns with the “public interest” and adheres to departmental regulations. Importantly, this transition was initiated by Weiss himself, who, earlier this week, conveyed his belief that the investigation had reached a point where he should proceed as a special counsel.
Weiss is no stranger to this intricate landscape. He is the federal prosecutor responsible for bringing charges against President Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, in Delaware. Recent times have witnessed the unfolding of legal proceedings involving Hunter Biden, including a probation-oriented plea arrangement that was ultimately rejected by a judge. In June, Hunter Biden agreed to a deal with federal prosecutors, admitting guilt in two tax-related offenses and a firearm charge, potentially leading to the dismissal of the latter charge. This latest development underscores the intensification of scrutiny into the financial affairs of the Biden family and highlights the evolving legal landscape involving prominent political figures.
—
Attorney General Merrick Garland will speak to the public Friday afternoon. It is highly anticipated because I believe, as do many others, that he may be getting ready to announce the appointment of a Special Counsel to investigate “Hunter Biden” and his financial dealings overseas. Although, welcome there are still too many concerns with the DOJ that need to be addressed and there is little faith among many Americans that anything will be done.
Americans have witnessed the makings and the result of a two tiered justice system since President Trump was elected and then the continuing targeting of Trump even after his term as president.
I’ve spoken about the need for an outside investigation into Hunter Biden and President Biden at length on my podcast, The Sara Carter Show and on Fox News. But I’ve been jaded by the failures of past investigations and the weaponization of the Justice Department to do its job. The failure of the DOJ to be blind and just has been devastating to our nation.
Will Garland appoint a special counsel? I don’t know but as Americans we must demand that our leadership, our bureaucracies and our law makers follow the rule of law without prejudice. If they do not, as we have seen over the past decade with the establishments attacks on President Donald Trump and the weaponization of the system to target him, then our foundation will not only be fractured but it will be irreparable.
Either way, the alleged crimes and obvious financial connections linked to the Biden family with adversarial nations like China and Russia must be thoroughly investigated and the investigation must be made public. The Biden connections and large sums of money taken from government connected energy companies in Ukraine must also be thoroughly vetted and any improprieties must be made public.

Mum ’ s the word from the U.S. Department of State , which chose not to respond to the controversy surrounding a member of a U.S. designated terrorist organization speaking at San Francisco State University this Wednesday .
State Department confirmed that they had received this reporter ’ s request for comment on Thursday morning and promised to provide a response .
However , after multiple attempts , they chose to not respond .
Ranking Member of the House Intelligence Committee Rep. Devin Nunes , R-CA , however , said in a statement to SaraACarter.com that it ’ s unconscionable @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Front for the Liberation of Palestine ( PFLP ) terrorist Leila Khaled .
“ This is just the latest of countless indications that higher education has become hopelessly politicized and is in dire need of a severe course correction , ” said Nunes .
“ These schools should be educating our next generation of leaders , but instead they ’ re spreading a harmful , extremist ideology that champions terrorists and hijackers.
” Meanwhile , it looks like Khaled will speak via video teleconference without any repercussions from the U.S. government that funds @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Department-designated Foreign Terrorist Organization , which raises questions as to why the State Department has refused to comment on the university ’ s decision .
Khaled was integral in two separate hijackings .
In 1969 , she was part of a team of terrorists that diverted TWA Flight 840 from Rome to Tel Aviv to Damascus , Syria .
She also attempted in 1970 to hijack El Al flight 219 from Amsterdam to New York City on “ Black September , ” which refers to a series of simultaneous hijacking attacks that occurred @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of Khaled ’ s victims and student groups have condemned SFSU and called on the University to stop the event .

In a recent development, the Tate brothers, Andrew and Tristan, along with two associates, find themselves at the center of a high-profile case involving human trafficking allegations.
The charges leveled against them indicate the formation of an organized criminal group in 2021 with the intent to carry out human trafficking operations not only in Romania but also in the United States and the United Kingdom, according to the BBC.
The investigation, which led to their arrest in December last year, has culminated in an indictment filed with the Bucharest court. According to the indictment, the Tate brothers are accused of luring their victims with false promises of love and marriage. Seven individuals have been identified as alleged victims, who were later coerced and subjected to a harrowing ordeal.
Prosecutors contend that the victims were taken to locations in Ilfov county, Romania, where they faced constant surveillance, intimidation, and control. The defendants allegedly forced the victims into debt and coerced them into participating in pornographic activities, with the explicit material subsequently shared on social media platforms. Shockingly, one of the defendants is accused of raping a woman on two occasions in March 2022, further amplifying the gravity of the charges.
While the trial is not expected to commence immediately, as a Romanian judge is granted 60 days to inspect the case files, it is anticipated to be a protracted legal battle. The complexity of the case and the severity of the charges will undoubtedly result in a lengthy trial process, with several years potentially passing before a verdict is reached.
Representatives for the Tate brothers released a statement acknowledging the unsurprising nature of the news but maintaining their belief in their innocence.
As reported by the BBC, the Tate brothers media team stared, “While this news is undoubtedly predictable, we embrace the opportunity it presents to demonstrate their innocence and vindicate their reputation.”
They expressed their eagerness to present a comprehensive body of evidence meticulously collected over time, which they believe will substantiate their claims of innocence and restore their tarnished reputation.
However, it should be noted that additional charges, such as money laundering and trafficking of minors, are still under investigation. If evidence is uncovered to support these allegations, a separate indictment could be filed, further complicating the legal proceedings for the defendants.
Andrew Tate, who gained notoriety through his participation in the reality television show Big Brother, has a controversial past, having been removed from the show in 2016 following a video that appeared to depict him assaulting a woman.
Despite subsequent bans on social media platforms due to his contentious statements, he has managed to amass a following, particularly among young men, by promoting an ostentatious and hyper-masculine lifestyle.
As the case unfolds, public attention will undoubtedly be drawn to the trial, with many eagerly awaiting the outcome and hoping for justice to be served for the alleged victims. The complex web of charges and the high-profile nature of the defendants ensure that this trial will be closely monitored and scrutinized by the media and the public alike.

“ Why would @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ?

Riots: DeSantis creates bold legislation targeting criminals who ‘participate in violent or disorderly’ assemblies

Florida Gov .
Ron DeSantis announced bold legislation Tuesday to target people participating in violent and disorderly riots that endanger human lives and businesses .
The legislation comes after people have been killed and billions of dollars have been lost in cities across the country overrun by rioting and looting since the killing of George Floyd by a Minneapolis police officer in XXXX .
“ Today I announced bold legislation that creates new criminal offenses and increases penalties for those who target law enforcement and participate in violent or disorderly assemblies , ” stated DeSantis on Twitter .
“ We @ @ @ @ @ @ @ women in uniform who keep our communities safe , ” he added .
The new criminal offenses to ‘ combat rioting , looting and violence ’ were listed in a post on the governor ’ s Twitter .
In my opinion , it ’ s a much needed law that should be adopted across the nation to combat the growing violence .
According to reports the legislation will be filed for the March 2021 session .
It couldn ’ t come soon enough .
The new DeSantis ’ law will also criminalize any @ @ @ @ @ @ @ drivers new liability protection if they kill or injure anyone while “ fleeing for safety.
” Think about it .
This is more than likely going to get rioters to think twice before jumping on moving vehicles or targeting persons driving vehicles in crowed places with weapons as we ’ ve seen happen over the past several months .

On Monday ’ s episode of “ The Sara Carter Show , ” Congressman Greg Steube , R-FL , slammed Democrats for doing little to quell the violence that he says is spreading across the nation as the November elections draw near .
Steube , an Army veteran whose from a law enforcement family , warned that former Vice President Joe Biden and his campaign aren ’ t just dealing with old time Democrats but have sold out their party to a radical left that will take the party hostage if Biden were to win the election .
However , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that happening .
The Florida congressman has seen a surge of support for President Donald Trump and many of his constituents have sighted law and order as their top concern .
Just look at what the Biden campaign has done .
For example , according to a report by The Daily Caller , Biden ’ s Vice Presidential pick Kamala Harris “ promoted ” a bail fund for protestors that ’ s led to the release of violent criminals , including a man who allegedly sexually assaulted an 8-year-old girl .
Steube said @ @ @ @ @ @ @ think that they ( the Democrats ) think that by encouraging violence and encouraging these protests and encouraging these people to the point where you have the Vice President , candidate for the Democrats raising money to bail these people out of jail if they ’ re arrested for rioting , I think they think that it all settled down after Biden , if Biden were to win , that it would all settle down after the election , ” said Rep. Steube .
“ I tell you , the words matter , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ leaders of our country , ” he said .
“ And when you have the leader of the house , declaring that Republicans are enemies of the state , you ’ ve taken things to a whole different level .
And there are people that listen to that , that are going to react and act on that .
Because the leader of their party , the highest Democrat in the country , is saying things like that , and it ’ s dangerous .
And we ’ re seeing it all across @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Trump ’ s efforts to put an end to the violence by threatening to pull federal funding from cities that ‘ allow anarchy and rioting in the streets.
” He said Trump ’ s stand for law and order is something most Americans understand .
Steube added that it ’ s those very issues that will bring the independents and voters to the polls , even those who may never have never voted before .
“ And I think you ’ re gon na see a whole bunch of people who have never @ @ @ @ @ @ @ vote because they are seeing things happen in the country that they ’ ve never seen before , ” Steube said .
“ Recently , we had a woman call the office , and she said her 73-year-old boyfriend who ’ s never voted before in his entire life , is registering to vote to vote for the President , ” he recalled .

A report from an unexpected source reveals the high rate at which Afghans are coming to the United States through the illegal route via our southern border. National Public Radio (NPR) tracked how several Afghan civilians are entering the United States via the U.S.-Mexican border.
Foreign Desk News reports that the U.S. border agents apprehended more than 2,000 Afghans in just one year after the Taliban takeover, which was a 30-fold jump from the year before, U.S. government data show.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) says that following the country’s takeover from the Taliban, more than 2,500 Afghans have made the trip and crossed into the U.S. via illegal crossings, and they could be turned away unless they could prove imminent danger or a medical emergency. We have just passed the second anniversary of the botched pullout from Afghanistan which was followed by a hostile takeover of the country by the Taliban terrorist network.
NPR spoke to several Afghanis about their experiences coming into the U.S. One story shared was by Shafi Amani and his three-year-old daughter Yousra, who was a healthy toddler when she and her family fled Afghanistan a year ago via Pakistan.
Amani says his daughter had a stroke in Pakistan, and he was able to get medicine for her. Amani and his family decided to leave Pakistan, get a tourist visa for Mexico, and arrive in Mexico City with his wife and daughter.
He says he decided to smuggle their family into the U.S. because living in Mexico was not the best situation, given that he could not speak Spanish and the lack of medical care for their daughter during their six-month stay.
“When we crossed the border, believe me, that was the day – the hardest decision for me because for my daughter and my wife and part of my life,” Amani told Bowman. Amani explained that two men showed up, took them to a border wall around 30 feet, and created a harness where they pulled his wife, his daughter, and him. After they crossed into the U.S., the family got ready to cross the New River but were found by the U.S.

Tuesday afternoon , President Donald Trump announced via Twitter that he has prohibited the United States government from conducting business with companies and individuals that promote critical race theory ( CRT ) , claiming that the theory is “ divisive and harmful.
” Moreover , Trump ordered federal agencies to cease racial sensitivity training courses that discuss CRT and white privilege .
“ A few weeks ago , ” Trump tweeted , “ I BANNED efforts to indoctrinate government employees with divisive and harmful sex and race-based ideologies.

CRT is a concept that has become dramatically popular among left-wing scholars and activists over the past few years .

“A few weeks ago,” Trump tweeted, “I BANNED efforts to indoctrinate government employees with divisive and harmful sex and race-based ideologies.” He continues, adding that “Today, I’ve expanded that ban to people and companies that do business […] with our Country, the United States Military, Government Contractors, and Grantees. Americans should be taught to take PRIDE in our Great Country, and if you don’t, there’s nothing in it for you!”

This follows a White House memo sent on Friday to federal agencies by the director of the Office of Management and Budget, Russell Vought, instructing them to begin to cease racial sensitivity courses that discuss those subjects, referring to the programs as “un-American propaganda training sessions.”
“All agencies,” the memo reads, “are directed to begin to identify all contracts or other agency spending related to any training on ‘critical race theory,’ ‘white privilege,’ or any other training or propaganda effort that teaches or suggests either (1) that the United States is an inherently racist or evil country or (2) that any race or ethnicity is inherently racist or evil.”
Vought continues, saying that “the Office of Management and Budget will shortly issue more detailed guidance on implementing the President’s directive,” adding that “all agencies should begin to identify all available avenues within the law to cancel any such contracts and/or to divert Federal dollars away from these un-American propaganda training sessions.”
Encyclopaedia Britannica broadly summarizes that CRT is “the view that the law and legal institutions are inherently racist and that race itself, instead of being biologically grounded and natural, is a socially constructed concept that is used by white people to further their economic and political interests at the expense of people of colour.” Conservatives have commonly argued that the theory is “anti-white” and discourages patriotism.
CRT is a concept that has become dramatically popular among left-wing scholars and activists over the past few years. Simultaneously, with that rise in prevalence, the theory has become a target for right-wing thinkers and activists more recently as race has returned to the forefront of national politics this past summer.

Hijacking a plane full of innocent people isn’t anything alarming to San Francisco State University, which has doubled down in its support of Palestinian terrorist Leila Khaled, who did just that and more as a career terrorist. SFSU plans to virtually host her on Wednesday and its raising serious concern among members of Congress and the administration.
House Intelligence Committee Ranking Member Devin Nunes slammed the University Monday, telling this reporter, “This is just the latest of countless indications that higher education has become hopelessly politicized and is in dire need of a severe course correction. These schools should be educating our next generation of leaders, but instead they’re spreading a harmful, extremist ideology that champions terrorists and hijackers.”
Khaled orchestrated two plane hijackings. One in 1969, when terrorists diverted TWA Flight 840 from Rome to Tel Aviv to Damascus, Syria. And the other, in 1970, when she attempted and ultimately failed to hijack El Al flight 219 from Amsterdam to New York City, which occurred on “Black September” as part of a series of simultaneous hijackings.
However, to the University and faculty hosting her, Khaled’s terrorism is apparently seen as heroism. And she’s heralded as a feminist.
VICTORY! Lawfare Project and #EndJewHatred movement cause Zoom to cancel Leila Khaled webinar https://t.co/Ue4LFkLeFF — BrookeGoldstein (@GoldsteinBrooke) September 23, 2020
A number of non-governmental organizations and student groups have condemned the school’s administration for defending Khaled’s platform. And overnight that pressure resulted in Zoom, the video conferencing platform set to host the event, cancelling the event from its platform. As reported by IsraellyCool, the University department hosting the event is demanding that there be a new hosting platform.
The federal government, however, that partially funds the university has been oddly silent. In fact, The U.S. Department of State refused to acknowledge or take any action despite Khaled’s allegiance to the U.S. designated terrorist organization the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), as reported by this new site.
Fed up with the University and ready for the U.S. government to step in is Ranking Member of the House Armed Services Committee Rep. Doug Lamborn, R-CO, who sent a letter Tuesday to U.S. Department of Education Secretary Betsy Devos and U.S. Department of the Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin calling for an investigation into the University “for potential breaches of material support laws.”
Lamborn went a step further and asked that all federal funds provided to the University be “cancelled.”
“We applaud Congressman Lamborn’s chutzpah for spotlighting San Francisco State University’s outrageous decision to host a convicted terrorist under the disguise of ‘free speech’,” StopAntisemitism.org’s Director Liora Rez said in a statement to SaraACarter.com

In his letter, Lamborn said he was ‘alarmed’ and ‘deeply troubled’ by SFSU’s plan to host such a ‘dangerous’ event. Although the School’s President Lynn Mahoney says the school won’t stop it, citing the promotion of free speech on campus, Lamborn finds that a radical agenda that threatens American values should be the reason to cancel the event.
“The event is not only unseemly but dangerous,” Lamborn wrote. “Radicalization is a real problem that leads to real-life violence, particularly when efforts are aimed at impressionable young people. Indeed, it appears to be the purpose of this event. Indeed, it appears to be the purpose of this event, Professor Abdulhadi, one of the events hosts, is a founding member of the antisemitic BDS movement and the director of SFSU’s Arab and Muslim Ethnicites and Diasporas/Race and Resistance Studies.”
Professor Abdulhadi, noted Lamborn, has praised Khaled in Facebook posts ahead of the event. He says, “Such efforts to legitimize Khaled’s violent past runs a very real risk of helping to create home-grown terrorists through radicalization.”
The University receives federal funding and was even granted $28 million in the CARES Act, which provided relief amid the COVID-19 pandemic, as reported by StopAntisemitism.org.
With Rep. Lamborn’s sponsorship of the Taylor Force Act, which ended U.S. financial support for the Palestinian Authority over its continued sponsorship of terrorism, he sees the event equally as troubling. “While Professor Abdulhadi has a right to her views, no matter how toxic, using her position at SFSU to host a non-citizen and an admitted member of a terrorist organization, who has actually committed terrorist acts, is something quite different,” Lamborn wrote.
He continued, “Mrs. Khaled would certainly be denied a visa were she to attempt to travel to the U.S., just as she’d been denied entry to other countries, including Italy and the United Kingdom, in recent years.
