This week, I appeared on the Dan Gaffney Show, The Lars Larson Nationally Syndicated Show, and Guest Hosted the Lou Desmond Show with my special guest, Captain James Lanphar, an arson investigation in the state of California. I also wrote another opinion piece that I invite you to read Why Crime is Out of Control and How to Solve It (substack.com)
Federal investigators floated sex trafficking charges against Hunter Biden, according to a document released by Republican members on the House Ways and Means Committee. The committee obtained the document as part of its Hunter Biden investigation. It released a large batch on Wednesday to coincide with the House Oversight Committee's first impeachment inquiry hearing against President Biden on Thursday. According to the document, Jack Morgan, an IRS tax crimes prosecutor, in October 2020 sent nine cases regarding Hunter Biden and prostitutes to Assistant U.S. Attorney Lesley Wolf.
Dr C’s Analysis: Federal criminal law prohibits a wide range of activities relating to transporting people and/or traveling across state lines or internationally for the purpose of engaging in illegal sexual activity. Specifically, U.S.C. § 2423 makes it a federal felony punishable by up to 30 years to travel across state lines, into the United States, or even to a foreign country (if that person is a U.S. citizen or permanent resident) for the purpose of engaging in illegal sexual conduct. So, this means that it is illegal to travel across state lines to hire a prostitute or have sexual contact with an underage person. It also means that it is illegal for a citizen or permanent resident to travel to a foreign country to hire a prostitute or have sex with a minor. Interestingly, a person can be guilty of this crime without actually engaging in sexual conduct, so long as the prosecutor can prove the illegal purpose of the travel. And 18 U.S.C. § 2423 makes it a federal felony punishable by up to 30 years to arrange for the interstate or international transport of people for the purpose of engaging in illegal sex (i.e. prostitutes or minors), for commercial advantage or private financial gain. This could apply not onto the pimp or chief of a human trafficking operation, but also to the driver of a vehicle. So yes, Hunter Biden should be charge with one or both counts.
Police officers in Oakland, California, have reported more than 10,000 motor vehicle thefts in the city since the start of 2023, data from the Oakland Police Department (OPD) shows. The OPD recorded a total of 10,547 motor vehicle thefts — an average of 40 vehicle thefts a day — and a 51% increase from the year-to-date reported number of thefts in 2022, CBS News Bay Area reported. At least 133 vehicles were stolen between Sept. 11 and Sept. 17, and an additional 12 vehicles were carjacked during the same time period, according to the OPD data.
Dr C’s Analysis: Prosecutors have ignored stolen vehicles charges for long enough. If you steal a car you should go to prison if convicted. Most cars stolen are actually used to commit other crimes by the way! And it’s a billion-dollar industry! Motor vehicle theft amounted to $7.4 billion in losses in 2020 alone.
Every single public school in the state of California will soon be forced to provide gender-neutral bathrooms as part of a new law signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom. This new legislation works off of a 10-year-old law that mandates K-12 schools to permit students to use restrooms based on personal preference rather than their sex.
“These measures will help protect vulnerable youth, promote acceptance and create more supportive environments in our schools and communities," stated Newsom, who added that California is "proud" to have among the "most robust" LGBTQ+ rights laws in the nation. Los Angeles Times reported that the new bill came about after the Chino Valley Unified School District attempted to "restrict transgender students' access to certain bathrooms and sports facilities." The district rule simply was requiring schools to inform parents if their child starts to identify as a different gender from their own, including in attempted cases of entering bathrooms or sports teams meant for the opposite sex.
Dr C’s Analysis: Perverts, pedophiles and hebephiles from across the land are applauding Governor Newsom’s actions! Well done, California! Further sexual abuse of our children will continue. Did you know that About 1 in 4 girls and 1 in 13 boys in the United States experience child sexual abuse. Simply horrific public policy!
On Friday, while touting his strict gun control laws, Biden continued his trend of lying when he claimed he has been to “every mass shooting.” Biden furthered his support for restricting the Second Amendment, saying, “If you need 80 shots in a magazine, you shouldn’t own a gun.” The White House claims that the new Office of Gun Violence Prevention will help follow through on Biden's executive actions of restricting the use of firearms.
Continuing with Gun restrictions discussion. A federal judge has struck down a California law banning so-called "high capacity" magazines for pistols and modern sporting rifles. The ban, the outcome of California's Proposition 63 passed in 2016, outlaws the possession of any magazine holding more than ten rounds of ammunition. The federal judge wrote. “One government solution to a few mad men with guns is a law that makes into criminals responsible, law-abiding people wanting larger magazines simply to protect themselves. The history and tradition of the Second Amendment clearly supports state laws against the use or misuse of firearms with unlawful intent, but not the disarmament of the law-abiding citizen. That kind of a solution is an infringement on the Constitutional right of citizens to keep and bear arms. The adoption of the Second Amendment was a freedom calculus decided long ago by our first citizens who cherished individual freedom with its risks more than the subservient security of a British ruler or the smothering safety of domestic lawmakers. The freedom they fought for was worth fighting for then, and that freedom is entitled to be preserved still.”
Dr C’s Analysis: I’m sorry but this issue just drives me insane! Once again, let’s examine why gun bans don’t work! Criminals, by definition, do not follow the law. Individuals with criminal intent will find ways to obtain firearms illegally, regardless of the presence of gun laws. Or any other weapon for that matter! Bravo your Honor, Bravo!
Ohio Democratic senator Sherrod Brown in an August letter praised a left-wing prosecutor candidate in Cleveland who has endorsed calls to defund police, end cash bail, and pull cops from schools, a Washington Free Beacon review found. Brown on August 7 wrote to Cuyahoga County prosecutor hopeful Matthew Ahn to thank the candidate for "speaking out," a photo of the letter shared by Ahn shows. Ahn, a left-wing law professor known for his progressive views, has long associated himself with the movement to defund police. At the height of the Black Lives Matter movement in 2020, Ahn argued that "nothing short of defunding" would combat the "white supremacist infiltration of police forces." Ahn also called to "end cash bail" and "end police presence in schools," and in 2021, the law professor emphasized the need to "rethink the role of police, who continue to protect and serve a social order that never had any value to begin with."
Dr C’s Analysis: The changes in prosecutorial and sentencing practices especially related to violent crime as become much more liberalism and more pro-criminal than pro-victim and community safety. The police defund movement has diminished budgets, police recruitment, and advanced police separations, and police retirements and Senator Brown should know better!
IRS agent Darrell Waldon echoed IRS whistleblower Gary Shapley’s testimony that prosecutors in Washington, DC, and California previously blocked now-special counsel David Weiss from charging Hunter Biden in those jurisdictions. “Mr. Weiss went to the U.S. Attorney’s Office — I can’t recall the dates — and they did not agree to prosecute the case in D.C.,” Waldon told the House Ways and Means Committee during a transcribed interview in September, the Washington Examiner reported. “I’m aware that it was presented to the District of Columbia and, at some point, the Central District of California, I believe,” he added. Waldon’s transcribed interview comes after he previously confirmed Shapley’s claims in April of political interference. Waldon later left the Hunter Biden case for another responsibility within the IRS.
And more on the Biden Crime Family! Republican lawmakers recently predicted their investigation into the Biden family could prove the Biden business raked in more than $50 million, about $30 million more than bank records show thus far. “Based on the evidence I’ve seen so far, I think the number is going to be north of $50 million that we’re talking about here,” Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) said on Fox News. Throughout the investigation, the House Oversight Committee unveiled several tranches of Biden business bank records. Those showed the Biden business received at least $20 million from business schemes in Romania, China, Russia, Ukraine, and Kazakhstan. In total, nine Biden family members received payments from the family foreign business ventures, including two of Joe Biden’s grandchildren.
Dr C’s Analysis: The entire world shuttered when Watergate was discovered. This is arguable the largest criminal case of an American President in the history of the United States. The evidence of corruption is immense indeed. ARTICLE 1: ABUSE OF POWER: BRIBERY, HOBBS ACT EXTORTION, & HONEST SERVICES FRAUD “Robert Hunter Biden (Hunter Biden) and James Biden sold access to then Vice President Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr. (Joe Biden) while he was in office from 2009 to 2017 and sold promised access to a future Biden Presidential Administration while he was out of office from 2017 to 2021,” the filing reads. ARTICLE 2: OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE. “According to testimony from IRS whistleblowers, members of the Biden campaign improperly colluded with Justice Department (DOJ) officials to improperly interfere with investigations into tax crimes alleged to have been committed by Hunter Biden,” the filing reads. ARTICLE 3: FRAUD “James Biden recruited ‘investors’ for business ventures that ultimately failed. There is evidence to suggest that these investment opportunities were sold to investors based on false and fraudulent pretenses and promises,” the filing says. “Access to Joe Biden and indications that Joe Biden supported these schemes were used to lure investors into the schemes.” ARTICLE 4: FINANCIAL INVOLVEMENT IN DRUG AND PROSTITUTION “Joe Biden and Hunter Biden have a long history of comingled and intertwined finances. Between 2010 and 2019 thousands of dollars of Biden family money was spent on illegal drug transactions and prostitution,” the filing adds.
Chicago’s Soldier Field, home of the Chicago Bears, was the target of a $100,000 theft of maintenance vehicles and equipment overnight on Wednesday, officials report. Persons unknown reportedly broke into the facility’s parking garage and made off with lawnmowers, several John Deere Gator vehicles, and other equipment, according to WGN-TV. The thieves also tore down fixed fencing erected to keep people out of the area so that they could drive the vehicles out of their enclosure. The equipment reportedly belonged to a contractor hired by the stadium to do work on the grounds, not the Chicago Bears, the City of Chicago, or the Chicago Park District. The Chicago Police Department is investigating the incident but has not announced if they have any suspects.
Dr. C’s Analysis: The continued wilding of America! As a country, we should focus on these five factors that I believe are causing crime increases: (1) The lack of faith, family, and formation has had a significant sociological and psychological impact on humans, especially our children. (2) (5) COVID public health measures such as travel restrictions, school closures, lockdowns, and curfews have wettened the appetite of those in power to so how much power they can have to implement their form of social change.
