Firearm purchase is at the center of a Justice Department investigation into the troubled first son In the 48 hours before Hunter Biden's handgun purchase that is now under investigation by federal prosecutors, President Joe Biden's troubled son was being hounded about hundreds of thousands of dollars he owed in debts, juggling texts from his brother's widow and her sister, who were also his lovers, and coordinating what appears to be a drug deal at a local 7-Eleven with a man saved in his phone only as "Q." Justice Department prosecutors are reportedly investigating the younger Biden for several potential...

New York City's first public health vending machine giving out free crack pipes, condoms and Narcan, an overdose-reversing drug, was already empty less than 24 hours after being unveiled by officials. But eager city officials determined to keep residents in rich supply of clean drug apparatus were quick to revisit the site on Tuesday afternoon with more. Elan Quashie, the Opioid Overdose Program Director at Services for the Under Served, said: ‘We’re going to restock every day. Probably multiple times a day.’ He said he was not surprised that the items were taken so quickly, adding: ‘I kind of knew...

Several non-profit organizations that distribute crack pipes as part of smoking kits received Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans during the COVID-19 pandemic, a Daily Caller analysis of loan filings found. The Daily Caller identified eight organizations that received PPP loans and distribute kits with pipe components or a fully assembled smoking device. Those organizations received more than $5 million in PPP loans during the pandemic, including two organizations that received more than $1 million each. The federal government distributed $800 billion in PPP loans during the pandemic, with the majority going to business owners, shareholders, creditors, and suppliers, according to...

@VideoMattPresents shares a video of how @Joe Biden White House speaker Jen Psaki was lying through her teeth when she said the"Safe Smoke Kits" didn’t have in it Free Crack Pipes & Heroin needles. Video doesn’t say where they are made. But I will bet they are Made in ChYna. He paid $1.2 billion to Beijing for his free Covid tests. I’ll bet the Crack & Meth pipes were made there too. ...

America had a hearty laugh mixed with mild horror this week when it learned that the Biden Administration is planning to distribute free crack pipes to drug addicts for the sake of “racial equity.” The $30 million grant program, which closed applications Monday and will begin in May, will provide funds to nonprofits and local governments to help make drug use safer for addicts. Included in the grant … are funds for “smoking kits/supplies.” A spokesman for the agency told the Washington Free Beacon that these kits will provide pipes for users to smoke crack cocaine, crystal methamphetamine, and “any...

They see a “crack” in the armor. Republican party strategists are champing at the bit for the 2022 midterm elections, eager to hammer Dems over a growing list of off-the-wall woke initiatives — the latest a reported plan by the Biden administration to provide “crack pipes” in “smoking kits” to drug addicts.

Sen. Joe Manchin teamed up with Republicans to introduce a bill that would ban the distribution of drug paraphernalia, and two Republicans appalled by a viral report alleging that the Biden administration was going to fund handing out crack pipes to drug addicts have introduced the 'HUNTER Act' which would do the same. Though Health and Human Services (HHS) has denied that crack pipes were ever to be included in the 'safe smoking kits' they will fund, Reps. Lauren Boebert of Colorado and Dan Bishop of North Carolina told Fox News that the Biden administration got caught 'red-handed.' HHS is...

WASHINGTON, D.C.—After the incredible success of his free crack pipe program, President Joe Biden has announced a new 80 billion-dollar program to provide every white suburban woman in America a set of free wine glasses. "We want to help everyone cope with the pain and suffering wrought by mysterious forces completely unrelated to the Biden Administration," said Press Secretary Jen Psaki while taking a swig of Chardonnay from a government-issued crystal glass. "If you drown your sorrows in wine, or crack, or whatever, it'll make the next 3 years go by much quicker!" Sources say that after confirming citizens' gender...

Conservative figures have launched an online furor this week, claiming that the government planned to spend $30 million on pipes for smoking crack cocaine. The heightened concern came months after the Department of Health and Human Services announced a federal grant for local programs that provide myriad "harm reduction" tools, or services that minimize the risks associated with drug use. Republicans seized on "crack pipes," causing the phrase to trend on Twitter on Tuesday, the latest in continued resistance from the GOP against harm-reduction techniques at a time when people are dying of drug overdoses at record rates in the...

@TomCottonAR Good news. Biden's HHS is no longer funding crack pipes. But make no mistake: yesterday's change in policy is because HHS got caught. Statement...

The Biden administration seemingly can't do anything right, and instead of improving, it's going after those who tell the truth about its mistakes. Rather than using resources to secure the border, deport illegal immigrant criminals, or address runaway inflation, it's apparently relying on massive in-kind donations from partisan censors who claim the mantle of fact-checkers but are indistinguishable from speech police aimed at protecting Biden's flailing administration. Lead Stories is one such outfit that claims to be an arbiter of truth but is little more than a public relations and censorship arm of the Democratic Party, a clown car of...

As Townhall reported yesterday, the Biden administration — with taxpayer funding from the American Rescue Plan — is funding grants that can be used to provide clean crack pipes under the guise of the president's "equity" agenda. The plan is, of course, nonsense given the rising number of overdose deaths claiming lives in the United States, a problem compounded by President Biden's open border and soft-on-crime policies. As only he can, Senator John Kennedy (R-LA) offered his thoughts on the mind-numbingly absurd program and hints that the Biden administration might approve so-called "safe injection sites" for drug use. "There almost...

Not only that, it’s using $30 million in taxpayer dollars to follow San Francisco, which turned a public plaza into a vast, open-air shooting gallery and drug market. In times past, the American government stood with productive people and pushed back against the forces of corruption and decay. In Biden’s America, though, the opposite is true. Big cities are becoming concierge services for hard-drug addicts and Biden’s administration is joining in, with a multi-million plan to provide crackpipes for addicts. And here’s the kicker: In the name of equity, the administration will make a special effort to bring these instruments...

WASHINGTON, D.C.—The Biden administration will be providing free crack pipes to crack addicts, but only if they can show valid proof of vaccination against COVID-19. Jen Psaki shared further details regarding Biden's new proposal during her daily press briefing. "The president feels, and we agree, that people are going to smoke crack anyway. We might as well give them safe crack so they can hit a sweet high without fear of overdose. We're doing this to save Black lives." "But only if they're vaccinated."

The Biden administration on Wednesday pushed back on what it called "misinformation," saying a federal grant program meant to reduce harm to drug users does not include taxpayer funding for pipes that can be used to smoke crack or meth. The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) put out a statement clarifying "no federal funding will be used directly or through subsequent reimbursement of grantees to put pipes in safe smoking kits." White House press secretary Jen Psaki later told reporters at a briefing that reports that crack pipes would be included in the safe smoking kits being distributed...

he Biden Admin has announced plans for 500 million new masks which will be shipped out for free to U.S. residents. These masks will have a brand-new design feature: a small mouth hole so that people can easily smoke their government-issued crack pipes. "We are proud of our equity initiative to send out safe crack-smoking kits to people who desperately need them," said Press Secretary Psaki. "Unfortunately, wearing masks can make smoking crack more difficult, which disproportionately affects mask-wearing crack-smokers of color. These new masks are meant to address that problem." The new masks will feature a small mouth hole...

It was the Left that prematurely pronounced the death of irony 20 years ago:“In the dark days after September 11, Vanity Fair editor Graydon Carter famously declared: ‘I think it's the end of the age of irony.’”They have spent the intervening two decades disproving their own thesis. Take, for example, that old skinhead, snake-faced Clinton apologist James Carville. The man with one of the most punchable faces in America…tells his podcast audience (all 25 of them) that he’d like to punch unvaxxed people in the face."I wish what they’d do is pass a law to make you immune from liability...

President Biden's Health and Human Services department (HHS) is finalizing funding to dole out crack pipes to drug addicts as part of its 'Harm Reduction Plan.' The $30 million grant program, which accepted applications until Monday and will begin doling out money in May, intends to provide funds to nonprofits and local governments to make drug use safer, to advance 'racial equity.' Included in the grant is money to purchase 'safe smoking kits/supplies.' A spokesperson for HHS told the Washington Free Beacon that included in these kits could be pipes for users to smoke substances like crack cocaine and crystal...
