Hunter Biden, son of U.S. President Joe Biden, arrives for a closed deposition with members of the Republican-led House Oversight Committee conducting an impeachment inquiry into the president, at the O’Neill House Office Building in Washington, U.S., February 28, 2024.  Evelyn Hockstein | Reuters A federal appeals court on Thursday rejected a request by Hunter Biden to toss the pending criminal gun case against him, saying that his appeal was premature. The ruling clears the way for Hunter Biden’s trial in the case to start on June 3 in U.S. District Court in Delaware. Biden is the son of President Joe Biden. In its ruling Thursday, a three-judge panel on the 3rd Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals said Hunter Biden failed to show that the trial judge’s rulings in April allowing the gun case to proceed were appealable before any final judgment, which could include his sentencing. The appeals panel, whose decision was unanimous, did not rule on the merits of Biden’s arguments that the indictment should be dismissed. If Biden is convicted at trial, …

Published by skeptic

An employee admitted that he was baffled after his boss both reprimanded him for and refused to let him use his PTO.  Posting to the subreddit “r/AmITheJerk” — an online public forum where individuals can share either personal anecdotes or conflicts that have happened to other people to see who was in the wrong — the 20-year-old man claimed that he and his boss, Susan, were involved in a bit of an argument after she told him that his PTO request was “last minute” after he’d already booked his vacation days.

Minister Refuses To Admit Public Does Not Like Sunak’s ‘Plan’

Published by skeptic

Transport secretary Mark Harper refused to say the public does not Rishi Sunak’s plan for the country in an interview this morning. Shortly after the local elections saw the Tories lose almost 500 councillors, 10 police and crime commissioners and the West Midlands mayoral race, BBC presenter Laura Kuenssberg pressed the cabinet minister on whether it was time to change course before the general election. He just said: “It’s all to play for.” Kuenssberg reminded him: “You’ve lost all of these councils around the country, you’ve lost everything apart from the [Tees Valley] mayoral results.” The BBC presenter continued: “You say you’re focused on the country’s priorities – the country is telling you at the ballot box that it doesn’t like what you are doing. “It doesn’t want to choose the Conservatives at the moment, in all sorts of different contests and all different sorts of different corners of the country.” Harper just acknowledged that the election results have been “disappointing”, particularly in the West Midlands where Tory mayor Andy Street was kicked out of …

Tory Party Refuses To Share Details About Sunak’s Local Elections Vote

Tory Party Refuses To Share Details About Sunak’s Local Elections Vote

Published by skeptic

The Conservative Party has caused some confusion after refusing to reveal where Rishi Sunak voted in the local elections. The prime minister could have voted in London if he was registered at his Downing Street address or he could have voted in his North Yorkshire constituency. Both areas would have required the PM to vote on a new mayor. But, a Conservative spokesperson could only confirm to HuffPost UK that Sunak “has voted”, and offered no further details. This is particularly surprising because party leaders normally encourage media interest in their personal voting habits on polling days. Labour leader Keir Starmer posted photos of himself voting for the Labour candidate Sadiq Khan in London on Instagram. If Sunak had voted in the capital, he presumably would have voted for Tory candidate Susan Hall, whom he has publicly endorsed. Hall has been accused of “dog whistle politics” with her controversial social media posts and appeared to support Donald Trump in a tweet from 2020. She also made headlines for claiming she was pickpocketed on the London …
