Hunter Biden’s Ex-Wife Testifies on His Reckless Drug Use: Found Crack Pipe at Home in 2015, Describes Him as ‘Angry, Short-Tempered’ (VIDEO)

Hunter Biden’s ex-wife has come forward with bombshell testimony regarding his drug abuse and volatile behavior.

Kathleen Buhle and Hunter Biden were married in 1993 and officially divorced in 2017. Kathleen Buhle gained further public attention with the release of her memoir, “If We Break: A Memoir of Marriage, Addiction, and Healing,” which was published in 2022.

In her memoir, she discusses her life, the challenges of her marriage, her husband’s addiction, and her own journey towards healing and empowerment after their separation.

They share three children and ended their marriage in 2016, driven apart by his infidelity and struggles with drug abuse. In the same year, Hunter Biden started banging on his brother’s widow, Hallie Biden.

Buhle testified on Wednesday that she discovered her husband was using drugs when she found a crack pipe in an ashtray on their porch on July 3, 2015, a day after their anniversary.

Even before finding the pipe, Buhle suspected Hunter of drug use, as he had previously been discharged from the Navy after testing positive for cocaine, according to FOX News.

“I was definitely worried, scared,” she said.

Buhle described Hunter as “angry” and “short-tempered” when he was under the influence of drugs. She also frequently found drug paraphernalia like “little bags” and “broken crack pipes” in his car. This led her to inspect the vehicle before allowing their daughters to use it.

During cross-examination, Hunter’s attorney Abbe Lowell attempted to discredit the FBI agent’s testimony about messages from Hunter’s devices indicating drug use. However, Buhle claimed that she never personally witnessed Hunter using drugs. She only found paraphernalia and observed behavioral changes.

New York Post reported:

Buhle — who shares three daughters with Hunter — said she started regularly checking their car for drugs and paraphernalia so their children wouldn’t find any evidence of his drug use or run afoul of the law if pulled over by police.

She kept up the routine from 2015 through 2019, months after their divorce had been finalized.

Buhle said that through Hunter’s addiction, he was able to work interact with friends and family and generally function.

But there were times, Buhle said, when she could tell he was high when others didn’t notice and she said he tried to hide his problem from friends and family.

She also recalled that he drank and used at the same time.

Zoe Kestan, a former girlfriend of Hunter Biden, has also taken the stand following testimony from Hunter’s ex-wife, Kathleen Buhle.

Kestan detailed to the jurors her initial encounter with Hunter at a gentleman’s club where she was employed in December 2017. She met him again in New York City, during which she observed him smoking crack. According to her testimony, Hunter was seen using the drug approximately every 20 minutes throughout their time together.

Hunter Biden’s Ex-Girlfriend Drops Bombshell: ‘Former Sex Worker’ Zoe Kestan Testifies Hunter Allowed Dealers Direct Access to His Bank Account for Withdrawals

Zoe Kestan, Hunter Biden’s former girlfriend, has testified that Hunter Biden regularly allowed drug dealers direct access to his bank account.

This revelation is part of the ongoing investigation into Hunter Biden’s actions and sheds further light on his troubled history.

Kestan, a 30-year-old from New York, is also known for her entrepreneurial endeavors, having launched a brand that features lingerie, erotic dancewear, and marijuana-smoking accessories, according to Daily Mail.

The news outlet added, “The entrepreneur and founder of Weedslut was described as a ‘quintessential businesswoman’ in a 2021 magazine piece in which she revealed she is a former ‘online cam-girl’ and ‘sex worker’, discusses her ‘ideal lover’ and poses topless in her own creations.”

Kestan was in a relationship with Hunter Biden from December 2017 to October 2018. According to Kestan, Biden was using crack cocaine every 20 minutes, except when he was asleep, even while in rehab in Massachusetts in 2018, according to NBC.

Kestan recounted her first meeting with Hunter at a Manhattan gentleman’s club in December 2017 while she was performing a private session. Biden was smoking a substance she assumed was crack cocaine.

Their relationship quickly escalated, with Kestan spending five consecutive days with Hunter at the Soho Grand Hotel, where she witnessed him smoking crack continuously.

The most damning part of Kestan’s testimony involved Hunter Biden’s financial dealings with drug dealers. Kestan testified that Hunter would send her temporary ATM codes from Wells Fargo, allowing her to withdraw cash without his debit card. More alarmingly, Hunter used the same method to enable drug dealers to withdraw money directly from his account.

Kestan also detailed her experiences of seeing Hunter buy drugs. She mentioned a dealer named “Frankie,” whom Hunter would meet in his hotel suite to procure drugs. Although Kestan did not witness the exchanges directly, she testified that it was clear Frankie left with fewer drugs than he arrived with.

The prosecution presented a series of photos from Kestan’s phone, including one dated February 12, 2018, showing a used crack pipe on a hotel bathroom countertop. Kestan confirmed that Hunter had explained the use of the pipe to her, detailing how he would use chopsticks and pens to clean and reuse it.

Townhall reporter Mia Cathell also reported, “A picture of Hunter wearing a shirt with the Adidas logo turned into a marijuana leaf that says “ADDICTED” below was blown up on the projector screen. “I thought that was funny because he didn’t smoke weed,” she said. She testified that Hunter tried an experimental “indigenous” drug treatment, in which the venom of a frog is administered on the skin to “purge” him.”

Hunter Biden’s leaked audio where he tells Zoe Kestan about daddy Joe, AKA, “The Big Guy” was previously posted online (language warning):

The Party of Jew-Haters: Democrats Refuse to Sanction International Criminal Court for Targeting Israeli Leader – 155 Democrats Side with Jew-Hating States

On Tuesday night the US House of Representatives passed legislation to sanction the International Criminal Court for their assault on the Israeli leader.

The final vote was 247 to 155. Every single no vote was a Democrat lawmaker.

This came after the International Criminal Court the International Criminal Court filed arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

It is all part of the deep state globalist attack on Israel to prevent Hamas from being defeated.  The Biden regime and its top officials are outspoken critics of Israel.

International Criminal Court Files Arrest Warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu

On May 20, 2024, the International Criminal Court filed an application for an arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Israel’s Defense Minister Yoav Gallant.

Leftists cheered the news.

On Tuesday 155 Democrats refused to condemn the International Criminal Court for their unprecedented attack on the Jewish leaders.

Only 42 Democrats supported the measure.

The Democrat Marxists are truly the party of Jew hostility today.

205 Republicans supported the measure condemning the ICC on Tuesday.

New Boeing Whistleblowers Expose Plane Safety Issues

In a new development that further complicates Boeing’s troubled history with aircraft safety, two additional whistleblowers have come forward, revealing significant concerns about the safety practices and culture at the aerospace giant. These revelations add to the growing scrutiny Boeing faces over its handling of safety protocols, particularly regarding the production of its popular aircraft models.The two whistleblowers, former Boeing employees, have detailed issues related to the manufacturing processes that could potentially compromise the safety of passengers. According to reports, these employees have cited numerous instances where safety was allegedly overlooked or inadequately addressed to expedite production timelines and meet financial targets​.

This disclosure follows a series of high-profile safety concerns that have plagued Boeing in recent years, notably the fatal crashes involving the 737 MAX aircraft. These incidents led to a global grounding of the model and widespread criticism of Boeing’s safety practices. The new whistleblowers’ allegations suggest that issues may persist across other aircraft models, raising alarms about systemic problems within the company. In recent congressional hearings, Boeing executives were grilled over these safety lapses, with lawmakers demanding more stringent oversight and accountability. The testimonies of these whistleblowers are expected to bolster calls for comprehensive reforms within Boeing and the broader aerospace industry​.

Adding to the gravity of the situation, earlier whistleblowers who had raised similar safety concerns faced severe personal repercussions. Tragically, two prominent whistleblowers died under controversial circumstances shortly after their public disclosures. One reportedly succumbed to an infection, while another was found dead from a gunshot wound, leading to intense speculation and calls for independent investigations into their deaths​.

The latest whistleblowers have underscored issues such as improper quality control, inadequate inspection protocols, and a corporate culture that prioritizes production speed over safety. They have provided detailed accounts of these practices, including instances where defective parts were knowingly installed in aircraft and warnings from safety inspectors were ignored or suppressed.

— Insider Paper (@TheInsiderPaper) June 5, 2024

These revelations come at a critical time for Boeing, which is striving to restore its reputation and regain the trust of regulators and the flying public. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and other regulatory bodies are under pressure to enhance their oversight mechanisms and ensure that such safety oversights do not recur.

Consumer confidence in Boeing has been shaken, with many questioning the reliability of the company’s aircraft. This sentiment has been echoed by aviation safety experts who argue that Boeing needs to implement robust changes to its safety practices and corporate governance to prevent further incidents​.

In response to these allegations, Boeing has reiterated its commitment to safety and has announced several internal reviews and process improvements aimed at addressing the concerns raised by the whistleblowers. However, critics argue that more substantial and transparent actions are necessary to rebuild confidence in the company’s safety culture.

As investigations continue and more details emerge, the aerospace industry and regulatory agencies are closely watching how Boeing navigates this crisis. The implications of these revelations could have far-reaching consequences, not only for Boeing but for the entire aviation sector, as it grapples with ensuring the highest safety standards amidst growing competitive and financial pressures.

Presidential Limo Driver Wanted to Quickly Debunk Cassidy Hutchinson’s Bogus Claim that Trump Grabbed Steering Wheel on Jan 6 – But Liz Cheney Blocked Him from Testifying

Congressman Barry Loudermilk obtained a transcript of the presidential motorcade driver’s interview that refutes the January 6 ‘star witness’ Cassidy Hutchinson’s claim that Trump tried to grab the steering wheel and commandeer the limo on January 6.

According to the secret service driver, he wanted to quickly debunk Cassidy Hutchinson’s lies about Trump’s behavior in the ‘beast’ on January 6, but Liz Cheney and others on the sham J6 committee “rebuffed” him and allowed Hutchinson’s lies to dominate the headlines.

Just The News reported:

House investigators have obtained evidence showing that former President Donald Trump’s Secret Service driver wanted to quickly refute testimony from Cassidy Hutchinson alleging a struggle in the presidential limousine during the Capitol riots but the Democrat-led January 6 committee rebuffed him for months.

The evidence was confirmed to Just the News both by Rep. Barry Loudermilk, the chairman of the House subcommittee that is investigating the Jan. 6 tragedy now for Republicans, and a transcript of the driver’s interview that was conducted months after he first offered to testify.

Loudermilk on Tuesday evening decried the delay by the Democrat-led Jan. 6 committee, saying it kept Americans in the dark for months ahead of the 2022 midterm elections that there was firsthand testimony refuting Hutchinson’s sensational hearsay narrative that Trump tried to violently commandeer his Secret Service limousine on Jan. 6, 2021, to take it to the Capitol.

House Republicans in March released a report that blew up Liz Cheney’s J6 ‘star witness’ Cassidy Hutchinson’s testimony on Trump’s actions on January 6.

“None of the White House Employees corroborated Hutchinson’s sensational story about President Trump lunging for the steering wheel of the Beast. However, some witnesses did describe the President’s mood after the speech at the Ellipse,” the report read.

The driver of Trump’s motorcade (the beast) refuted Cassidy Hutchinson’s under-oath claims that Trump grabbed the steering wheel and physically assaulted a Secret Service agent.

“The driver testified that he specifically refuted the version of events as recounted by Hutchinson. The driver of the SUV testified that he “did not see him reach [redacted]. [President Trump] never grabbed the steering wheel. I didn’t see him, you know, lunge to try to get into the front seat at all.” Despite the driver of the President’s SUV testifying under oath that the Hutchinson story was false, the Select Committee chose to validate and promote Hutchinson’s version of the story as fact. The Select Committee hid the driver’s full testimony and only favorably mentioned his testimony in its Final Report, it did not release the full transcript.” the report read.

In June 2022, The J6 Committee’s ‘surprise witness’ Cassidy Hutchinson testified Trump got into “the beast” after his speech at the Ellipse on January 6, 2021 with the belief that he would be driven to the Capitol.

According to Hutchinson, who received this information from Tony Ornato, the Assistant Director for the Secret Service, Trump grew angry after he was informed that he was being driven back to the West Wing.

According to Ornato, Trump shouted, “I’m the f*cking president! Take me up to the Capitol now!”

Hutchinson alleged that at this point Trump reached up to the driver, grabbed the steering wheel and tried to commandeer the presidential limo.

Hutchinson then claimed Secret Service Agent Bobby Engel grabbed Trump’s arm and took his hand off the steering wheel.

It was all lies. Liz Cheney knew it. They all knew it.

The Secret Service’s chief of communications, Anthony Guglielmi, previously told Politico that the January 6 Committee did not reach out to the agency in the 10 days before Cassidy Hutchinson’s testimony on Trump’s behavior in the presidential vehicle.

The Gateway Pundit compiled a list of Cassidy Hutchinson’s 9 confirmed lies from her debunked congressional testimony.

‘L’amour Toujours’ or ‘Foreigners Out?’

Recent weeks have seen something odd happen on the charts for iTunes’ top songs in Germany. A dance single by the Italian DJ Gigi d’Agostino rose to occupy the top of the charts, including the #1 and #2 spots simultaneously (with a shortened version). 

The reason for this upswell in popularity for a quarter-century-old song? The politics of immigration in both the Bundesrepublik and Europe more broadly.

The song, “L’amour Toujours,” first entered the spotlight in January, as on multiple occasions, nightclub visitors sang “foreigners out” to the song. More recently, in a viral incident at the northern German town of Sylt, guests chanted “foreigners out” and “Germany for Germans” to the song. In late May, other instances of people singing the aforementioned slogans to the song were reported in the German media. 

In response to the new popularity of the song, its creator, d’Agostino, has announced that, as one might guess from the title, the song is actually about love. Munich’s Oktoberfest also announced a ban on the song. 

Germany has recently faced great strains on its social fabric due to migration. For instance, on May 31, an Islamist migrant attacked a right-wing political rally, resulting in the death of a policeman and the wounding of five others. On June 5, a politician of the populist “Alternative for Germany” party (AfD) was stabbed in another knife attack.

At the same time, millennial and Generation Z voters are shifting to the right all across continental Europe, largely driven by concerns over immigration. In Germany, AfD is currently polling first among 14-to-29-year-olds, at 14.5 percent of the age group. In France, Marine LePen’s National Rally polls first at 32 percent among young voters. Due to this shift, right-wing parties are expected to make significant gains in the European Elections this year between June 6th and June 9th.

Leftists Eating Their Own: Jimmy Kimmel Live Forced to Refilm After Code Pink Radicals Disrupt Kamala Harris and Are Then ‘ASSAULTED AND CHOKED’ by Security (VIDEO)

Last night’s live taping of Kamala Harris’ appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live descended into chaos as members of the left-wing activist group CODEPINK and a coalition of far-left activists disrupted the show.

CODEPINK, known for its radical opposition to U.S. military interventions and advocacy for social justice, joined forces with groups like Chino Valley for Palestinian Liberation, Pasadena for Palestine, and autonomous residents of Los Angeles to stage their protest.

Their message was clear: there can be no business as usual during what they term a “genocide in Gaza.”

Security personnel preemptively identified and removed a number of activists before Harris took the stage. However, the remaining protesters waited for her introduction to launch their demonstration.

What followed was a series of disruptions that saw activists forcibly removed, detained, and, according to some reports, physically assaulted by security staff.

According to the far-left group’s press release:

The activists were told they were under arrest, despite no one having Miranda rights read or anyone showing badges or authority to make an arrest. Activists were being illegally detained and were told to turn over their IDs.

When activists asserted their First Amendment rights and attempted to leave the premises, some were physically restrained with excessive force, and the gates of the building were locked by security, illegally imprisoning the peaceful demonstrators.

At one point, a security guard put one of the activists in chokehold until others were able to get him to release him. As clearly shown in the video, this act of violence was unprovoked and completely unnecessary.

The coalition of organizations demand The Jimmy Kimmel Show address and apologize for the unnecessary use of brutal force that left the man bruised and swollen.

After being detained in the building’s atrium, security finally unlocked the gates and released the activists without further incident. They joined the other previously removed activists outside for a Free Palestine rally.

French Regional Ambition Might Lead Europe to War

It isn’t quite clear what benefit French military instructors or trainers would bring to Ukraine that couldn’t be realized by training Ukrainian soldiers on French soil. But according to reports, it has been decided already. 

Le Monde reports that France has decided to send troops to Ukraine, citing the Ukrainian army’s chief of general staff, General Oleksandr Syrsky, who was said, “I am pleased to welcome France’s initiative to send instructors to Ukraine to train Ukrainian servicemen. I have already signed the documents that will enable the first French instructors to visit our training centers shortly and familiarize themselves with their infrastructure and personnel.” The Wall Street Journal corroborated within a day that the news was correct. 

It is not easy to “process-trace” or be privy to the internal deliberations of the upper echelons of French strategic decision-making. It is also a French sovereign prerogative to send their troops to Ukraine. France has been smarting lately from being kicked out of their sphere of influence in Africa by Russian mercenaries, so it is understandable that they are seeking a pushback. It is not however, in American interest to be dragged to another European war. 

The Biden administration has been invertebrate regarding escalation risks in Europe. Trapped by their own manichean rhetoric about a grand struggle between democracy and autocracy in what is essentially a localized ethno-territorial dispute, the U.S. has been slowly giving in to every whims of European strategists. But this development might be a bridge too far. 

Consider that France did not join the Iraq War’s “coalition of the willing,” or the British-American naval patrols around Yemen. America is likewise not duty-bound to join a “coalition of willing” organized by the French. Recent French and British misadventures in Libya led us into a needless war, and in the process destroyed the bulwark of stability in the entire North African coastline. This, in turn, led to altered demographics and destabilization in North Africa and Europe. The stakes with a nuclear power like Russia are phenomenally higher than they were in Libya or Syria. 

But most importantly, the cynical view of this development is that France, for the first time in modern history, has found a way to wrest the EU strategic leadership away from the hands of Germany, and, by virtue of that, from the U.S.. By aligning with the Polish and the Balts, they have formed a militarily hyperactive bloc within. 

Once again, that’s fine—but these activities should not come under NATO protection. It is time for Germany, the U.S., and the other sensible northern and central European countries opposed to any further escalation in Ukraine to form a counter-bloc and declare that NATO Article 5 is a strictly defensive clause that won’t be invoked in an out of area operation when a French battalion of “trainers” are toasted by a stray Russian Iskander in Lvov.

Biden’s DOJ Hatchet Man Matthew Colangelo Asks Judge Merchan to Keep Trump Gag Order in Place…. After Jury Returns Guilty Verdict!

Alvin Bragg’s prosecutors on Tuesday asked Judge Juan Merchan to keep Trump’s gag order in place even though a jury returned a guilty verdict in the ‘hush money’ trial last week.

Biden’s DOJ hatchet man Matthew Colangelo opposed Trump’s bid to lift the gag order in the Stormy Daniels ‘hush money’ case.

Joe Biden sent his top-ranking DOJ official, Matthew Colangelo, to New York to convict his main political opponent on non-crimes.

Merchan has trampled all over Trump’s First Amendment rights. Only Trump is gagged. Convicted perjurer Michael Cohen, the so-called ‘star witness’ in the hush money trial, can go on TikTok and trash Trump.

Recall that Judge Merchan expanded his gag order against Trump to bar the former president from criticizing his family members.

The judge’s daughter, Loren Merchan, is a far-left political operative who worked for the Biden-Harris campaign. The media has infantilized 34-year-old Loren Merchan in an effort to attack Trump’s First Amendment-protected speech.

Loren Merchan’s firm, Authentic Campaigns, Inc., has received tens of millions of dollars from Democrats who want to take down Trump.

According to The New York Post, Loren Merchan helped Democrats raise $93 million off of her father’s case.

President Trump this week asked the Court to lift the gag order “because the trial has concluded.”

Matthew Colangelo asked Merchan to keep the gag order in place to “avoid threats to the fairness of the trial itself.”

Earlier this week President Trump called on the US Supreme Court to intervene following his conviction on all counts in the politically motivated hush-money trial that concluded last week.

The sentencing was set for July 11 — three days before the Republican convention!

GOP Senators Warn Judge Against Sentencing Trump to Prison

Prominent Republican senators have issued stern warnings to the judge overseeing former President Donald Trump’s sentencing, cautioning against the imposition of a prison sentence. This unprecedented move follows Trump’s conviction on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records related to hush-money payments made during his 2016 presidential campaign​.

Senators J.D. Vance (R-OH) and Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) were particularly vocal, publicly attacking both the jury and the judge’s family, alleging political bias and corruption.

The conviction has intensified the political climate, with Trump’s supporters and some GOP lawmakers framing the trial as a politically motivated attempt to derail his 2024 presidential bid. Trump himself has consistently branded the legal proceedings as a “witch hunt,” alleging that Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, a Democrat, is part of a broader effort to influence the upcoming election​​.

Despite the conviction, Trump remains a formidable force in the Republican Party. His legal team plans to appeal the verdict, a process that could extend beyond the November 2024 election. In the meantime, Trump remains free and continues his campaign activities, leveraging the trial’s outcome to rally his base​.

Senator Vance warned that sentencing Trump to prison would be seen as an act of political retribution and could further polarize the nation. Tuberville echoed these sentiments, stressing the potential backlash from Trump’s substantial support base. Both senators argue that such a sentence could undermine public trust in the judicial system and exacerbate national divisions​.

The legal battle is also drawing attention to other pending cases against Trump, with several trials set to begin after Election Day. This adds another layer of complexity to an already tumultuous election season. The Biden-Harris campaign has responded by emphasizing the principle that “no one is above the law,” using the conviction to highlight what they see as Trump’s disregard for legal and ethical standards​​.

The impact of Trump’s conviction on the 2024 election remains uncertain. Polls indicate that while a significant portion of voters are unfazed by the verdict, it has made others more resolute in their support or opposition. This polarization reflects the broader societal divisions that have characterized Trump’s political career and continue to shape American politics​.

As the July 11 sentencing date approaches, all eyes will be on Judge Juan Merchan’s decision and its implications for both Trump’s political future and the Republican Party’s strategy heading into the November elections.
