A House Democrat running to become the next mayor of Houston‚ Texas‚ appeared in a campaign advertisement showing the wrong date. The ad featuring Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX)‚ which Mediaite reported had made it to air in Houston television markets‚ encouraged supporters to vote on December 7 or earlier — even though the run-off election is set to take place on Saturday‚ December 9. Sheila Jackson Lee is up with this TV ad in the general election runoff for #HoustonMayor — pic.twitter.com/DszWP4csPg — Medium Buying (@MediumBuying) December 2‚ 2023 Angelica Luna-Kaufman‚ a spokesperson for Jackson Lee’s campaign‚ offered an explanation to local news outlet Chron. “New ads were shipped out immediately. Once we were made aware we contacted our ad agency … and they made the change and immediately sent them out‚” the spokesperson said‚ adding‚ “The news stations did not pull the commercial as we had requested.” Jackson Lee and state senator John Whitmire‚ both Democrats‚ are set to face-off in the run-off this weekend. They took the top two spots in last month’s election. No one in a crowded field of more than a dozen candidates reached the 50% threshold to outright win and replace term-limited Mayor Sylvester Turner‚ who endorsed Jackson Lee in the run-off. The botched ad featured comments from Jackson Lee explaining her background and top issues. “Houston‚ I’ve spent my entire career fighting for you from fighting to keep our kids safe from guns when I was on city council‚ to my days in Congress fighting to protect women’s reproductive freedom and for funding for our police‚ schools‚ and small businesses‚” Jackson Lee said. “Now I’m running to be your mayor because if we’re going to bring down crime‚ fix our streets‚ and bring good-paying jobs here‚ then Houston needs a champion who is ready to fight for what is right. And I am‚” she added. In the run-up to the November election‚ Jackson Lee faced controversy with the release of a tape that allegedly contained audio of the congresswoman berating her staff. Jackson Lee responded with a statement conceding that she is “not perfect” and imploring voters to judge her at the polls based on her public service rather than “something trotted out by a political opponent that worked to exploit this‚ and backed by extreme Republican supporters.”

Hunter Biden made direct monthly payments to President Joe Biden — beginning in 2018 — using an account for his business that reportedly received money from China‚ according to GOP House Oversight Committee lawmakers. The committee says that subpoenaed bank records show that Owasco PC‚ a law firm belonging to the president’s son that is also under investigation by the Department of Justice for tax-related issues‚ used a corporate account to funnel payments to Biden — thus proving that he benefitted from his family’s foreign business dealings. “President Joe Biden claimed there was an ‘absolute wall’ between his official government duties and his family’s influence-peddling scheme‚” House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer said in a video on Monday. “This was a lie.” According to bank documents‚ the business entity established monthly payments of $1‚380 to President Biden. “This wasn’t a payment from Hunter Biden’s personal account but an account for his corporation that received payments from China and other shady corners of the world‚” Comer said. 🚨 BREAKING 🚨 Hunter Biden’s business entity‚ Owasco P.C.‚ made DIRECT monthly payments to Joe Biden. @RepJamesComer explains 👇 pic.twitter.com/7bXyGYmWVZ — Oversight Committee (@GOPoversight) December 4‚ 2023 Sources told theFox News Digitial that Biden’s joint venture company with a Chinese national sent at least three payments to Joe Biden’s personal account between September and November 2018. Comer subpoenaed Biden family associates to obtain personal and business records belonging to Hunter Biden and James Biden as part of its investigation into President Biden’s alleged involvement in his family’s domestic and international business schemes in China‚ Ukraine‚ Russia and more. Evidence conflicting with President Biden’s denials about his family’s business dealings‚ particularly regarding his son Hunter Biden earning money from China‚ has fanned suspicions among Republicans. The committee claims it identified over 20 shell companies and uncovered how the Bidens and their associates raked in over $24 million between 2015 and 2019 by selling Joe Biden as “the brand.” Last week‚ a bank investigator raised concerns about Hunter Biden receiving a $5 million wire from a Chinese company in August 2018 to his bank account‚ Hudson West III‚ according to Fox News. Biden allegedly funneled at least $400‚000 to his Owasco PC account‚ which then transferred to a business account belonging to James Biden‚ who later moved the money to a personal account belonging to James Biden and his wife‚ Sara Biden. Comer alleged that those funds were used to cut a $40‚000 check to Joe Biden‚ labeled as a “loan repayment.” Abbe Lowell‚ legal counsel for Hunter Biden‚ reportedly pushed back on the latest batch of money allegedly used to benefit Joe Biden directly. “There Chairman Comer goes again — reheating what is old as new to try to revive his sham of an investigation‚” Lowell told The Hill in a statement. “The truth is Hunter’s father helped him when he was struggling financially due to his addiction and could not secure credit to finance a truck. When Hunter was able to‚ he paid his father back and took over the payments himself.” The committee’s claims come as House GOP leaders prepare to introduce a formal impeachment inquiry vote in the coming weeks. “Joe Biden and the White House can’t continue to claim he wasn’t involved with his son’s shady businesses now‚” House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-LA) said on X. 🚨 JUST UNCOVERED: Hunter Biden's business entity— Owasco PC‚ which got money from Chinese-state linked companies—made monthly payments directly to Joe Biden himself. Joe Biden and the White House can't continue to claim he wasn't involved with his son's shady businesses now. — Steve Scalise (@SteveScalise) December 4‚ 2023 Daniel Chaitin contributed to this report.

An art and music festival in Williamsburg‚ Virginia‚ has canceled a Hanukkah event over concerns about the appearance of “taking sides” in the ongoing war between Israel and the terror group Hamas. A menorah lighting was scheduled to take place during the 2nd Sundays Art and Music Festival‚ a monthly event put on by the non-profit Love Light Placemaking. Shirley Vermillion‚ the event’s coordinator‚ canceled the Hanukkah celebration over the optics of holding the religious ceremony‚ especially with the tensions over the war in Israel‚ according to The Virginia Gazette. Hosting a menorah lighting with the war in Israel ongoing “seemed very inappropriate‚” Vermillion told the Gazette. She has denied requests to hold religious ceremonies of other kinds‚ as well‚ to distance the festival from any perceived religious affiliation or partisanship‚ she said. “The concern is of folks feeling like we are siding with a group over the other … not a direction we ever decide to head‚” she said. The lighting was scheduled to take place during the festival on Dec. 10. Vermillion said that in addition to the religious context‚ she canceled the event because it did not logistically fit into the festival’s lineup. The United Jewish Community of the Virginia Peninsula (UJCVP) condemned the Hanukkah celebration cancelation in a statement‚ and said Vermillion offered to reconsider the cancelation if the Hanukkah celebration was used to call for a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas. “To be clear‚ the menorah lighting‚ which was to be led by a local community rabbi‚ had nothing to do with Israel or the conflict‚” the UJCVP statement said. “Yet‚ appallingly‚ the event organizer claimed that a Chanukah celebration would send a message that the festival was ‘supporting the killing/bombing of thousands of men‚ women‚ and children‚’ – and even went a step further‚ by offering to reinstate the event if it was done under a banner calling for a ceasefire.” CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP “We should be very clear: it is antisemitic to hold Jews collectively responsible for Israel’s policies and actions‚ and to require a political litmus test for Jews’ participation in community events that have nothing to do with Israel. Those standards would never be applied to another community‚” the statement continued. Israel declared war on Hamas after the terror group invaded Israel from Gaza and killed roughly 1‚200 hundred civilians and took hundreds more captive‚ largely Israelis. The Hamas terrorists raped and tortured many during its October 7 attack‚ which represents the deadliest single day for Jews since the Holocaust. Love Light Placemaking did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) announced on Monday that his legislation to force the federal government to disclose information it has on UFOs is in danger of getting shot down in Congress. The fate of the Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) Disclosure Act of 2023 is now being determined as negotiators work to reconcile the House and Senate versions of the next National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) in the conference process. Lawmakers aim to pass the defense bill before the end of the year. House Republicans are “attempting to kill another commonsense bipartisan measure passed by the Senate which I was proud to cosponsor with Sen. Rounds as the lead sponsor to increase transparency around what the government does and does not know about unidentified aerial phenomena‚” Schumer said in remarks on the Senate floor. “Unidentified aerial phenomena that generated intense curiosity for many Americans and the risk for confusion and misinformation is high if the government isn’t willing to be transparent‚” he added. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer calls out House Republicans trying to kill the UAP Disclosure Act in the NDAA. @SenSchumer pic.twitter.com/LO9eeWA3vU — UAP News (@HighPeaks77) December 4‚ 2023 Schumer continued‚ “The measure I championed with Sen. Rounds would create a board just like we did with the JFK assassination records to work through the declassification of many government records on UAPs. This model has been a terrific success for decades. It should be used again with UAPs. But‚ once again‚ House Republicans are ready to kill this bipartisan provision.” The UAP Disclosure Act‚ which Schumer unveiled this summer with Sen. Mike Rounds (R-SD) as an amendment to the Senate’s version of the NDAA‚ would give heads of government offices 300 days to organize records in their possession and give them to a review board‚ members of which would be nominated by the president and approved by the Senate‚ to determine whether certain documents should remain classified. Similar to the President John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Collection Act of 1992‚ the president will have the ultimate authority to postpone disclosure of UAP records if there is an “identifiable harm” to national security‚ but otherwise calls for their release “not later than the date that is 25 years after the date of the first creation” of the documents by the originating government entities. Among the many provisions in the UAP amendment was a section that said the federal government shall “exercise eminent domain over any and all recovered technologies of unknown origin and biological evidence of non-human intelligence that may be controlled by private persons or entities in the interests of the public good.” While it remains to be seen what the final NDAA will look like‚ the U.S. government has already started making strides in publicly addressing and studying reports of UAPs with the Department of Defense’s All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) and other endeavors. Rep. Mike Turner (R-OH)‚ the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee‚ recently told NewsNation that he viewed the Schumer amendment as a “poorly drafted piece of legislation” even though he denied that he was “holding up” the measure. There remain suspicions that the government has not been fully transparent about what it knows concerning UFOs‚ and a bipartisan group of House lawmakers who have banded together to form the House UAP Caucus have voiced support for passing the 64-page UAP Disclosure Act in conjunction with a one-and-a-half page amendment to the House version of the NDAA that would pushes Department of Defense (DoD) officials to declassify records related to publicly known sightings of UAPs in 180 days. Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN)‚ the congressman who offered that amendment‚ told The Daily Wire last week that he had spoken to House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) about the UAP issue and “got him to commit to transparency.”
