Despite repeated claims by President Biden that he never discussed his son Hunter’s business dealings, new evidence shows that Hunter’s business partner at the Rosemont Seneca Partners with links to communist China visited the White House numerous times while Joe Biden was vice president.

There has been increasing speculation that some of Vladimir Putin’s decisions may be affected by some sort of illness or illnesses and treatments he may be receiving. This is an important factor when intelligence agencies evaluate a foreign leader’s actions and behaviors.

Some have noted that the Russian leader has appeared rather…
