House Committee on Oversight and Accountability Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) today announced the committee obtained bank records revealing a $200,000 direct payment from James and Sara Biden to Joe Biden in the form of a personal check. In September, Chairman Comer issued three subpoenas for Hunter and James Biden’s personal and business bank records.

In 2018, James Biden received $600,000 in loans from, Americore—a financially distressed and failing rural hospital operator. According to bankruptcy court documents, James Biden received these loans “based upon representations that his last name, ‘Biden,’ could ‘open doors’ and that he could obtain a large investment from the Middle East based on his political connections.”

On March 1, 2018, Americore wired a $200,000 loan into James and Sara Biden’s personal bank account – not their business bank account. On the same day, James Biden wrote a $200,000 check from this same personal bank account to Joe Biden. 

Chairman Comer released a video outlining this direct payment and the questions President Biden must answer for the American people.

Everyone is, rightly, talking about how emotionally fucked up they are by the genocide in Gaza. There is much commiserating about how much pain and suffering we are all experiencing by being forced to witness these events unfold. Most of us on Hexbear live under Western governments that openly endorsing it, which only compounds how horrible it feels.

If you aren't taking action as much as you're able, you need to be for a couple of reasons.

  1. The scale and speed of the crisis demands it, particularly if you are living a comfortable western lifestyle.

  2. Posting and whining without action will drive you into a terrible depression.

  3. Taking action is palliative emotional care for the person doing it.

Go to a rally, donate, but most importantly, join an organization. Let this drive you to become an active revolutionary organizer.

I have been a PSL member for about a year and a half now, but I've never been more active than in the past three weeks. I have dedicated an hour or two every day, at least, to doing concrete work on this. My message to you wailing and gnashing teeth is that it helps. I feel better when I can look at myself and say "I did not sit idly by today". At the very least, do yourself the favor of being involved.

Communism is the movement to abolish the present state of things. If you are not a real member of that movement, you are not a real communist. Step up. This should motivate you, not turn you into a helpless slug.

In the unedited video, she didn't mention Hamas and called herself a "rescuing human shield to protect and save the wounded at the front lines", with everything following "human shield" trimmed out of the Israeli clip.

According to witness testimony, al-Najjar was shot after she and other medics, walking with their hands up and wearing white vests, approached the border fence in order to treat a wounded protester.
