Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) sternly rebuked President Joe Biden on Thursday after he joked about the allegations of corruption against him.
After hosting a joint press conference with British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak at the White House, a reporter yelled a question at Biden about allegations that, according to House Republicans, he engaged in a "criminal bribery scheme" as vice president.
"Congresswoman Nancy Mace says there's damning evidence in the FBI file that you sold out the country," the reporter noted, asking Biden for his response.
Despite the seriousness of the allegations, Biden used the moment to crack a joke.
"Wheres the money?" he wise-cracked, adding, "I'm joking. It's a bunch of malarkey."
\u201cA reporter asks Joe Biden about allegations that he was involved in a criminal bribery scheme:\n\n"I'm supposed to walk off the stage now...Where's the money? I'm joking. It's a bunch of malarkey."\u201d— Townhall.com (@Townhall.com) 1686250854
The joke did not go over well.
"[W]e don't find selling out your country funny. Prove us wrong by releasing your and your family’s unredacted bank records. The FBI can't protect you forever," Mace responded.
\u201c.@POTUS we don\u2019t find selling out your country funny. Prove us wrong by releasing your and your family\u2019s unredacted bank records. The FBI can\u2019t protect you forever.\u201d— Rep. Nancy Mace (@Rep. Nancy Mace) 1686253315
The South Carolina Republican proceeded to answer Biden's joke by listing the names of companies that Republicans allege the Biden family used as "shell companies" to conceal money received from foreign nationals.
"And since you asked, the money is in your family’s shell companies," Mace said.
\u201cRosemont Realty, LLC\nRosemont Seneca Global Risk Services, LLC\nRSP Holdings, LLC\nRosemont Seneca Technology Partners, LLC\nRosemont Seneca Thornton, LLC\nRosemont Seneca Advisors, LLC\nRosemont Seneca Bohai, LLC\n[JBB SR. INC.\nRSTP II Alpha Partners, LLC\nRSTP I Bravo Partners, LLC\u201d— Rep. Nancy Mace (@Rep. Nancy Mace) 1686253315
Last month, the House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer said his committee had obtained bank records showing evidence of the shell companies and how much money they received.
"Most of these companies were limited liability companies formed during Joe Biden’s vice presidency," Comer explained. "The bank records show the Biden family, their associates, and their companies received over $10 million from foreign nationals and their companies."
Meanwhile, Fox News reported Thursday that the FBI's "highly confidential" confidential human source — whose information is the subject of a document that nearly landed FBI Director Christopher Wray in contempt of Congress — told the bureau that an executive at Burisma Holdings, the Ukrainian natural gas firm where Hunter Biden served as a board member, directly paid Biden $5 million.
"$5 million for one Biden, $5 million for the other Biden," the executive told the FBI's source, according to sources who spoke with Fox News.
The White House denies Biden is guilty of any wrongdoing.

Biden admin denies reports that China plans to build spy facility in Cuba to gather intelligence on United States
China recently reached a secret agreement with Cuba to establish a spy facility on the island to gather intelligence on the United States and its nearby military bases, according to U.S. officials who shared the highly classified intelligence with the Wall Street Journal.
The WSJ reported that the facility would allow China to eavesdrop on electronic communications throughout the southeastern United States, where many military bases are stationed, including 21 in Florida.
With Cuba only 100 miles from Florida, China would be able to monitor ship traffic in the area and intercept emails, phone calls, and satellite transmissions, the outlet stated.
The U.S. officials told the WSJ that China has agreed to pay Cuba several billion dollars to allow it to build the spy facility in America's backyard.
Officials did not share where the alleged eavesdropping station would be located on the island, whether the construction had already begun, or what the Biden administration could do to prevent the facility's construction.
John Kirby, a spokesperson for the National Security Council, denied the accuracy of the WSJ's report.
Kirby told the outlet, "While I cannot speak to this specific report, we are well aware of — and have spoken many times to — the People's Republic of China's efforts to invest in infrastructure around the world that may have military purposes, including in this hemisphere."
"We monitor it closely, take steps to counter it, and remain confident that we are able to meet all our security commitments at home, in the region, and around the world," he added.
When asked about the Chinese spy facility rumor by MSNBC on Thursday, Kirby stated that he had seen the press report and that it was inaccurate.
"You're saying it's not accurate that they're planning this?" an MSNBC host asked Kirby.
He replied, "I'm saying that we've seen the report. It's not accurate. We're focused on making sure that we can mitigate any threats from China in the region."
\u201cMSNBC: "China and Cuba have now reached a secret agreement...for China to establish an electronic facility...to scoop up electronic communications throughout the southeastern U.S."\n\nKIRBY: "It's not accurate."\n\nMSNBC: "You're saying it's not accurate that they're planning this?"\u2026\u201d— Townhall.com (@Townhall.com) 1686242570
Republicans slammed the Biden administration for not considering China a serious threat to the United States.
"Joe Biden needs to wake up to the real Chinese threats on our doorstep," said Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley.
Republican Senator Marco Rubio stated, "The threat to America from Cuba isn't just real, it is far worse than this."
"Joe Biden groveled to China and made us dependent on Chinese energy - and now Beijing is building a spy station in our backyard. When will Biden stop making China rich and start protecting America," Republican Senator Josh Hawley stated.
Republican Representative Carlos Gimènez posted on Twitter, "As the only Cuban-born Member of the 118th Congress, I have been warning about the imminent national security threat posed by the murderous Castro regime in #Cuba. Now, the Castros are plotting with Communist #China to eavesdrop on America."
The Chinese Embassy in Washington and Cuba's Embassy did not reply to a request for comment, the WSJ reported.

CNN drops special report about Clarence Thomas, Gov. DeSantis: They once had a 'big bear hug'
CNN broke a bombshell story on Tuesday: Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) once hugged Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas.
Network anchor Kate Bolduan promised viewers "new details about the close relationship" between DeSantis and Thomas and their alleged mutual friend, conservative legal activist Leonard Leo.
In reality, DeSantis and Thomas' friendship is old news.
The report centered on a Federalist Society event in Florida three years ago. At that event, DeSantis praised Thomas as "our greatest living justice." According to Bolduan, the three men — DeSantis, Thomas, and Leo — shared dinner after that event. CNN then showed video of DeSantis and Thomas hugging one another.
\u201cCNN has a bombshell report on Ron DeSantis and his "close relationship" with Justice Clarence Thomas:\n\nIn 2020, Justice Thomas spoke at the Florida Federalist Society. There, DeSantis called Thomas the "greatest living justice."\n\nAfter the event, they went out to dinner.\u201d— Townhall.com (@Townhall.com) 1686062430
"Didn't you like that big bear hug at the end there?" interjected CNN Supreme Court analyst Joan Biskupic.
It turned out the report was really a pretext to bash Leo, who once advised Donald Trump on which judges he should consider for the Supreme Court.
"Ron DeSantis, now as a candidate, is taking a page from the Donald Trump playbook and running on the Supreme Court. And he's doing it in part by holding up Clarence Thomas as a model," Biskupic said.
"Interestingly, part of the playbook that Trump had involved using Leonard Leo to advise him on his choices for the Supreme Court. And he effectively sought out three very conservative, anti-abortion justices," Biskupic continued. "And Leonard Leo has also advised Ron DeSantis in his role as governor of Florida and he's chosen his nominees for the Florida Supreme Court."
Unsurprisingly, Biskupic went on to bash "Thomas's approach to the law" — which read more like a progressive's caricature of conservative values.
"Leonard Leo has not said who he's going to support in the sprawling primary... but he has long advised Gov DeSantis," she said. "And Clarence Thomas' approach to the law — anti-LGBTQ, anti-abortion, anti-press — mirrors what Ron DeSantis has done in the state down in Florida."
The premise of CNN's story, then, is this: Conservatives make friends with other conservatives. Truly earth-shattering reporting.

'Dangerous, offensive, disgusting': Senator Tim Scott crushes 'The View's' race-baiting words about him being the 'exception not the rule'
Senator Tim Scott appeared on talk show "The View" to combat comments made by the show's hosts just two weeks prior that he didn't quite grasp what it's like to be black in the United States, despite being a black man himself. Scott also called remarks that his life was an "exception" for black people, not a rule, "dangerous" and "disgusting."
Host Joy Behar recently claimed that Scott and other black Republicans didn't acknowledge systemic racism to the degree that she believes they should and implied that "pulling yourself by your bootstraps" was an unrealistic viewpoint.
"He's one of these guys, who, you know, he's like [Supreme Court Justice] Clarence Thomas, black Republican, believes in pulling yourself by your bootstraps rather than, to me, understanding the systemic racism that African-Americans face in this country, and other minorities," Behar said.
Scott recently announced that he was running for president, and appeared on "The View" on June 5, 2023, to combat the narrative the hosts were schilling about him. However, Behar did not appear on the episode for his rebuttal — instead, co-host Sunny Hostin had the most contentious exchange with the South Carolina politician.
"You have indicated that you don't believe in systemic racism," Hostin asked. "What is your definition of systemic racism?"
"One of the reasons I'm on the show is because of the comments that were made frankly on this show that the only way for a young African-American kid to be successful in this country is to be the exception and not the rule," Scott began. "That is a dangerous, offensive, disgusting message to send to our young people today, that the only way to succeed is by being the exception."
"I will tell you that if my life is the exception, I can't imagine —" Scott continued before Hostin interrupted, saying "It is."
"But it's not actually," Scott declared. "It's been 114 years," the host added.
"The fact of the matter is we've had an African-American president, African-American vice president, we've had two African-American secretaries of the State, in my home city the police chief is an African-American who's now running for mayor. The head of the highway patrol for South Carolina is African-American," Scott listed. "In 1975, there is about 15% employment in the African-American community. For the first time in the history of the country it's under 5%."
\u201cThis is phenomenal. @SenatorTimScott just went on The View and absolutely dunked on the hosts on their own show. Enjoy:\u201d— Clay Travis (@Clay Travis) 1685982850
America can be "measured in generations," Scott went on. "I look back at the fact that my grandfather, born in 1921 in Sally, South Carolina, when he was on a sidewalk, a white person was coming. He had to step off and not make eye contact. That man believed then, with some doubt now, in the goodness of America because he believed that having faith in God, faith in himself, and faith in what the future could hold for his kids would unleash opportunities in ways that you cannot imagine."
The senator went on to remark on how every major news network in the country has "African-American and Hispanic hosts." While he did not agree that "America has met its promise," he said the country should always strive to become a more perfect union.
Scott took issue with the program cutting to commercial during his responses and even faced boos after he said he took issue with what children were being "indoctrinated" with in regard to Disney.

'There's no such thing as someone else's child!' Biden faces fierce backlash over bizarre claim: 'Our nation's children are all our children!'
Democratic President Joe Biden was excoriated by many online after he made a bizarre claim about who is responsible for raising children in the United States.
Biden and first lady Jill Biden honored educators who were nominated to be teachers of the year for 2023 at the White House when the president made the comments.
“I never thought, as a student of history, I never thought I’d be a president who's fighting against elected officials trying to ban and banning books,” Biden said during his speech. “I’ve never met a parent wants a politician dictating what their kid can learn and what they can think, or who they can be.”
He then quoted Rebecka Peterson, a calculus teacher from Oklahoma who had been named teacher of the year.
"Rebecka put a teacher’s creed into words when she said, 'There’s no such thing as someone else’s child.' No such thing as someone else’s child," Biden repeated.
"Our nation’s children are all our children," he added.
Biden's comments were immediately circulated across social media where they were vehemently and colorfully rejected.
"My Children do not belong to you or the government. Keep your perverted hands and government away from them," responded activist Ryan Cunningham.
"Parents, your children are NOT property of the state. This is not the Soviet Union. You must stand up for Parental Rights!" replied Rep. Mary Miller of Illinois.
"This is insane. The government isn’t a replacement for family. That’s why Governor DeSantis has always stood strong for parental rights," tweeted the DeSantis War Room.
Others highlighted the inherent absurdity of the claim.
"So if you have an abortion you just killed my child," responded the account for Life News.
Others chose to mock Biden based on the poor life choices made by his son, Hunter Biden.
In one video posted to Twitter, the comments garnered nearly 900k views in less than a day.
Here's the video of Biden's bizarre comment:

Legal experts suggest Fox-Dominion settlement might come back to bite the liberal media hard
Fox News agreed Tuesday to pay Dominion Voting Systems $787.5 million (roughly one-quarter of Fox News' reported gross earnings in 2022) to settle its $1.6 billion defamation lawsuit and avoid a protracted trial.
Leftists, Democratic operatives, and others in the liberal media establishment celebrated this setback for Fox News, suggesting it was a well-deserved penalty for asking sensitive questions and entertaining a narrative that ultimately collapsed under scrutiny.
According to legal experts, liberals' jubilation today at the conservative outlet's expense may soon come back to haunt them.
Glass houses
CNN host Jake Tapper, who refused to apologize for advancing a false narrative for years when it ultimately crumbled, giggled when reading his script about Fox News' misfortune.
Tapper said, "I’m sorry. This is going to be difficult to say with a straight face."
\u201cTotally-not-a-liberal-activist Jake Tapper can't contain his glee while reading Fox News' statement concerning their settlement with Dominion live on CNN.\u201d— Townhall.com (@Townhall.com) 1681849785
Those signing Tapper's paychecks may soon find it difficult to smile.
Mike Davis, founder of the Article III Project and former chief counsel for nominations to Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley, indicated that the Dominion lawsuit has set a new standard, whereby the New York Post could be justified in filing a "billion-dollar defamation lawsuit" against news outlets that "reported the claim it ran a Russian disinformation campaign."
CNN, like Politico and other liberal outfits, infamously downplayed the Hunter Biden laptop story when the New York Post first broke it in October 2020.
TheBlaze previously reported that after the Post published the story revealing some of Hunter Biden's many apparent ethical failures, then-CNN Host Brian Stelter said, "There's a lot about this story that does not add up. ... And, I mean, for all we know, these emails were made up, or maybe some are real and some are fakes, we don't know. But we do know that this is a classic example of the right-wing media machine."
"We are not talking about fully reliable sources here," Stelter said, referring to the Post's story, stressing that it was a "manufactured scandal."
CNN Business elevated Stelter's apparent smears against the Post in an article entitled, "The anatomy of the New York Post's dubious Hunter Biden story."
In one of many other instances in which the outlet denigrated the Post and served to advance a false narrative about the Hunter Biden laptop story, Jake Tapper expressed disgust in an October segment, claiming "the right wing is going crazy with all sorts of allegations about Biden and his family. Too disgusting to even repeat here."
The New York Post was not the only target of CNN's possibly actionable smears. CNN also hounded the computer repairman who first blew the whistle on the Hunter Biden laptop scandal.
John Paul Mac Isaac, the owner of the Delaware computer shop, filed a lawsuit against CNN last year, in which he accuses CNN of broadcasting a "false and defamatory story" that intimated Mac Isaac had committed "an infamous crime, i.e., treason by working with the Russians to commit a crime against the United States of America by attempting to undermine American democracy and the 2020 Presidential election."
Undermining the First Amendment
Matt Mackowiak, chairman of the Travis County GOP and president of Potomac Strategy Group, appears to agree that the consequences of the Dominion lawsuit will be sweeping, noting in the Washington Examiner, "The case has significant implications for the First Amendment."
While it "appears to be a loaded weapon trained on the heart of one cable news network, its true target is our treasured independent and free press."
Mackowiak suggested that the claims about Dominion that Fox News raised "were no question newsworthy. A sitting president's legal claims in a hotly contested presidential election are newsworthy. Full stop. And if professionals at news outlets cannot cover issues in good faith when raised by such prominent officials in the middle of a contested election, the media will be dead."
Like Davis, Mackowiak indicated that liberals and liberal outlets have long gotten away with peddling information and claims that turned out to be untrue if not outright malicious. But "If Fox is found liable under this standard of anyone at the company having doubts, no media outlet will ever be safe."
"It’s a gift to every green energy company lobbying for corrupt funding, every tech company censoring accounts, and every woke corporate actor engaged in preposterous diversity, equity, and inclusion policies that will use it to silence investigative journalists, criticism, and debate," added Mackowiak.
Cheering on an explosive boomerang
Former Attorney General William Barr stressed in a Wall Street Journal opinion piece late last month that liberal outlets, "blinded by resentment at Fox’s success as an alternative media voice," have parroted Dominion's spin at their peril.
"The theory advanced by Dominion is profoundly dangerous to the media industry as whole. Memories are very short and imaginations very limited if the left thinks that only Fox would be vulnerable to lawsuits in a world where defamation liability could be incurred for simply reporting allegations made by others," wrote Barr.
Barr cited the liberal media's false claims of "Russian collusion" and the "lurid allegations" advanced on networks such as CNN by Michael Avenatti during the Senate confirmation of Justice Brett Kavanaugh among the instances when outlets exposed themselves to the reasoning behind this week's defamation suit settlement.
After reiterating that Fox News was well within its rights to have reported on the Dominion story, Barr concluded, "The left should think twice about cheering for Dominion in this case. While the left has more artillery, it also has more targets for defamation cases as left-wing media outlets far outnumber conservative ones."
An attorney for Dominion — a company given an $80 million valuation by a private equity group in 2018 — addressed mainstream reporters after the settlement was reached with Fox News, thanking them "for being with us on this journey. We appreciate what you've done to help us."
\u201cDominion attorney THANKS media for being its lapdog in campaign to destroy conservative media and First Amendment.\n\nHow embarrassing for the media to be thanked for their help in a lawsuit against a media organization.\n\nThe left-wing media hates Fox News more than they care about\u2026\u201d— \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8 Mike Davis \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8 (@\ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8 Mike Davis \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8) 1681853286

Two days after a transsexual slaughtered 6 Christians, Democratic Rep. Katherine Clark says trans community 'is being forced to fight for its very existence'
Just days after six Christians were murdered in a brutal school shooting by a female transsexual, Democratic Rep. Katherine Clark of Massachusetts gave a speech honoring the trans "community," which she claimed "is being forced to fight for its very existence."
Beyond honoring transsexuals, Clark, who serves as Democratic whip in the House, also denounced those who stand in the way of the full execution of the transsexual agenda, including the very groups ostensibly targeted in the Nashville shooting.
'Not one tragedy but two'
In the aftermath of the Covenant School shooting, a number of LGBT activists and trans advocacy groups vilified Republicans, religious institutions, and others. In a number of instances, they appeared keen to displace blame from the transsexual woman who murdered three children and three adults.
The LGBT lobby group Human Rights Campaign noted in its response to the atrocity, "We still don't know all of the facts about what happened in Nashville. We do know that every study available shows that transgender and non-binary people are much more likely to be the victims of violence, rather than the perpetrator of it."
TheBlaze previously reported that Madonna had decided in the aftermath of the shooting that it was an opportune time to state, "The oppression of the LGBTQ+ is not only unacceptable and inhumane; it's creating an unsafe environment," suggesting that it's becoming particularly unsafe for transsexuals.
The geriatric musician also announced she would perform in Nashville, with proceeds going to "trans rights" groups.
The Trans Resistance Network said in a statement that the incident in Nashville "is not one tragedy, but two," intimating that the child-killer should similarly be mourned.
The group also suggested that recent policies (i.e., Republican legislation protecting children from genital mutilations and hormone therapies) and criticisms of the trans agenda together amounted to a "genocidal eradication of trans people from society" and were at least partly to blame for the massacre.
The Trans Resistance Network went so far as to threaten, "Hate has consequences."
More polarizing rhetoric
Clark, whose "trans" son was charged in January for assaulting a police officer, echoed much of the activist groups' rhetoric in her speech Thursday in Congress.
The Massachusetts Democrat said that to stand in the way of transsexuals' happiness "is to stand against our most basic American values. But that's exactly what MAGA extremists are doing across this country — on school boards, in state Capitols, here in the halls of Congress."
Evincing no sense of irony, Clark claimed that Republicans are "waging an especially vicious crusade on our kids," adding members of the trans community have been subjected to "cruelty" by "right-wing extremists."
"Let's reject the forces of opposition and bigotry," said Clark. "Let's celebrate the bravery and beauty of our trans community."
Clark quoted a letter from a mother to her transitioning daughter, saying, "I know your strength, but I also know how determined the forces are that have pitted themselves against you, the politicians and preachers who would rather see you languish in a dark closet."
At no point in the speech did Clark mention the Nashville shooting or the lives — including that of a preacher's daughter — claimed therein.
\u201cRep. Katherine Clark, whose transgender kid was charged with assaulting a police officer, rails against "politicians and preachers" and "right wing extremists" for their "cruelty" against transgender people, just days after a crazed transgender person murdered six Christians.\u201d— Townhall.com (@Townhall.com) 1680099865
Clark was recently in the news after her son Jared Dowell, 23, was charged with assault and battery on a Boston police officer inflicting serious bodily injury, vandalizing a historic monument, damaging property by tagging, and resisting arrest.
TheBlaze reported that Dowell, whom his mother refers to as a daughter named "Riley," allegedly left an officer "bleeding from his nose and mouth."
Police had attempted to arrest the Democrat's son after they caught him allegedly vandalizing a monument with anti-police slogans.
Jared Dowell is not the only person in the family fond of provocative rhetoric.
While silent on the topic of transsexual child-killers, Clark has been a loud critic of her Republican colleagues in the House, calling them "extremists."
The Democratic whip reiterated this claim on St. Patrick's Day, stating, "The extremists are running it," in reference to the House Republicans and their majority in Congress.

'We take this situation very seriously': Don Lemon 'has agreed to participate in formal training,' will return to air on Wednesday, CNN CEO tells employees
Don Lemon — who made headlines last week when he made comments about when women are supposedly in their "prime" and claimed that former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley is not in her prime — has agreed to take part in "formal training," CNN Worldwide chairman and CEO Chris Licht noted in a Monday night email to employees, the outlet reported.
"I sat down with Don and had a frank and meaningful conversation," Licht noted in a memo, according to CNN. "He has agreed to participate in formal training, as well as continuing to listen and learn. We take this situation very seriously."
Licht also noted that Lemon will return to the air on Wednesday.
"It is important to me that CNN balances accountability with … fostering a culture in which people can own, learn and grow from their mistakes," Licht conveyed. "To that end, Don will return to CNN This Morning on Wednesday."
Haley, who announced a presidential bid last week, has called for "mandatory mental competency tests for politicians over 75 years old." She is 51 years old.
Lemon said last week that he is "uncomfortable" with the focus on age and claimed that Haley is not in her prime. Lemon suggested that Googling when women are in their prime would yield results indicating that women are in their prime during their 20s, 30s, and 40s — he added that he was not saying that he agreed with that notion.
\u201cDon Lemon: "Nikki Haley isn\u2019t in her prime. Sorry, when a woman is considered to be in her prime in her 20s, and 30s, and maybe 40s\u2026"\n\nPoppy Harlow: "Are you talking about prime for like child bearing?"\n\n"Don\u2019t shoot the messenger! I\u2019m just saying what the facts are! Google it!"\u201d— Townhall.com (@Townhall.com) 1676559460
The television personality later issued a tweet addressing his comments.
"The reference I made to a woman’s 'prime' this morning was inartful and irrelevant, as colleagues and loved ones have pointed out, and I regret it. A woman's age doesn't define her either personally or professionally. I have countless women in my life who prove that every day," Lemon tweeted.
CNN reported that Lemon apologized during a Friday editorial meeting. "I'm sorry that I said it," he said, according to the outlet. "And I certainly see why people found it completely misguided."
"When I make a mistake, I own it," he reportedly said. "And I own this one as well."
