In a surprising turn of events, Hunter Biden requested a new trial for his federal gun case, only to withdraw the request without explanation shortly after being convicted of three felony offenses. Biden’s defense team filed a motion for a new trial in the morning, but then decided to remove it from the docket, refusing to publicly disclose their reasoning. Despite repeated attempts to delay or dismiss the case, all previous legal maneuvers by Biden have been unsuccessful in court. The court filings that were subsequently removed argued that a technical issue with pretrial appeals should have prevented the trial…

The publisher has faced intense scrutiny over a…

Two years ago, there was a widespread belief that a major bubble was on the verge of bursting. The era of historically low interest rates was ending, causing turmoil in various asset classes. Share prices were plummeting, government bonds were taking a hit, and the cryptocurrency markets were in a state of freefall. On Wall Street, the naysayers were reveling in the chaos, as their predictions of doom seemed to be coming true. The prevailing sentiment of the previous decade, which suggested that inflation was a thing of the past and cheap money was here to stay, now seemed absurd…

Archaeologists have been perplexed by an ancient “portal to the underworld” that has finally been examined, according to officials. The artifact, known as the Olmec Cave Mask, was originally stolen from the Chalcatzingo archaeological site in Mexico’s Central Highlands during the 1960s. The smugglers who took the millennia-old mask broke it into multiple pieces and dispersed them among various museums and private collections. However, in 2023, the full artifact was finally returned to Mexico. Crafted between 800 and 400 B.C., the mask is said to resemble the ancient Olmec jaguar god Tepēyōllōtl, according to an August 2023 press release from…

This case accuses him of defrauding donors in a fundraising effort related to a border wall between the US and Mexico. In a recent legal filing, Bannon’s lawyers argued that his imprisonment during the summer months leading up to the November…
