Remember when Joe Biden said 'no one is above the law'?

Well, it looks like his son is 😐

U.S. President Joe Biden pardoned his son Hunter Biden for everything he did between 2014 through 2024.

The pattern of disinformation from the mainstream media goes like this 🔍

1. He's not guilty of anything, and anyone who says otherwise is a conspiracy theorist.

2. Well, yes he did something, but it was a long time ago and doesn't matter.

3. The president pardoned his son for his crimes, deal with it.

South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol has declared martial law 🔫

Previously, the opposition in the National Assembly accused the president of preparing to use martial law to avoid impeachment for alleged abuse of power 😨

Since May 2022, Yoon has clashed with the opposition, frequently vetoing bills targeting corruption and abuse of power investigations involving him and his wife 🔍

BTC went down by 1.2% after this news 🥇

Trump suggests Canada should be made America’s 51st state, with Trudeau as its governor if the country can't “survive without taking $100 billion annually from America” 🙂

This is obviously a joke, Trump is simply implying that without tariffs, it seems too easy for Canadians to profit off of American consumers 😊

The French Senate is debating replacing the real estate wealth tax with an "unproductive wealth tax" targeting dormant assets (unused real estate, luxury goods, crypto) 🇫🇷

TLDR: The French Senate may create a tax that will force BTC holders to pay taxes annually even if they don't sell 🤨

Socialist madness that will simply force people to never declare their holdings or move out of France
