While January 6 political prisoners rot in the gulags for trespassing and a former president may get arrested next week for a misdemeanor, crack-smoking, influence-peddling, illegal-gun-buying Hunter Biden is a free man. Why? Perhaps the bigger question is why are so few in conservative media asking about Hunter Biden’s free pass.
The topic pops up every now and again. Some politician makes a comment. Some journalist posts a Tweet. But it certainly feels as though the people who could do something about Hunter Biden such as politicians or law enforcement aren’t doing much at all while those who should be exposing his crimes, namely conservative journalists, are acting like the story is dead.
Until Hunter Biden is behind bars (along with the vast majority of members in his crime family), this story isn’t dead. It should be repeated over and over again because it’s the most blatant example of the protected political class thumbing their collectivist noses at the rest of us.
Here’s an article by Bob Unruh reporting on Congressman Tom Tiffany asking the questions that should be hammered home every day until the right answer is given…
Congressman Asks Why Hunter Biden Escaped Prosecution for Gun Form Offense
Joe Biden’s son Hunter signed a form when buying a gun a few years back affirming that he was not a user of illegal drugs. Then he admitted in his book he was.
So now the question of why he has not been prosecuted for violating a statute requiring truthful answers during the federal procedures to purchase a handgun has come up in Congress.
JUST IN: GOP Rep. Tom Tiffany asks why Hunter Biden is not in prison for lying on his background check to obtain a gun.
Great question! What happened to ‘equal justice under the law’?pic.twitter.com/O6ohnBhWNF

It was Wisconsin Rep. Tom Tiffany who asked, during a hearing on guns, “Why hasn’t Hunter Biden been prosecuted for the crime that he committed?”
When the witness, Rob Wilcox, of the group called Everytown for Gun Safety, responded that he wasn’t aware of the facts of the case and couldn’t comment, Tiffany followed up with the next logical query.
“Who do we talk to to see why this case is not being prosecuted?” he asked.
Just the News reported Hunter Biden’s apparent lie on the federally required form to buy a gun came back in 2018.
But he had been removed from the military for drug use, and afterward came out with a book confirming that he repeatedly used illegal drugs.
Tiffany pointed out, “He said very clearly in his book that he used drugs.”
Someone else on the committee tried to derail his questioning, and he noted, “I understand why you do not want Mr. Wilcox to answer that question because there’s a dual system of justice in America that’s what’s going on right now. And everybody’s talking about it across America. There’s two standards of justice that are going on.”
WND previously has reported on the scandal, one of the lesser scandals that have beleaguered the Biden family in recent years.
The New York Post reported that in October 2018 Hunter Biden’s sister-in-law-turned-lover, Hallie Biden, allegedly tossed Hunter’s .38-caliber revolver in a dumpster outside a grocery store in Wilmington, Del.
Hallie, who had been married to Hunter’s late brother Beau Biden, reportedly claimed in text messages that she was afraid her boyfriend would “use” the gun, the report said.
The issue is that when Hunter bought the gun he stated he was not using illegal drugs, even though that happened at the height of his self-admitted drug bingeing.
Government watchdog Judicial Watch has reported getting 487 pages of records from the U.S. Secret Service regarding that scandal.
The watchdog noted that Secret Service officials openly discussed media reports of the agency’s involvement, with one finding it “odd” the Secret Service was involved at all.
It’s because Joe Biden and Hunter Biden were not getting Secret Service protection at the time.
Another official noted, “Maybe we were asked for a favor?”
Judicial Watch said it is looking into “whether and how the Secret Service intervened for Hunter Biden in an incident involving a gun allegedly owned by him. In September 2022, Judicial Watch filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit for records or communications about the reported purchase, possession, and disposal of a firearm owned by Hunter Biden found in a Delaware dumpster in October 2018.”
The details about the scandal were passed back and forth among Secret Service officials, with one commenting, “Oh dear…”
The responses included one that said, “It’s kind of odd that we were involved in the missing gun investigation when neither Hunter or Joe were even receiving USSS [Secret Service] protection at the time? Hmmm,” and another that said, “Maybe we were asked for a favor?”
Secret Service officials notified about the events included James Henry, then in charge of the Philadelphia office, Michael D’Ambrosio, assistant director, Steven Stanford, deputy assistant, and Leonza Newsome III, deputy director.
The agency did confirm agents “visited StarQuest Shooters & Survival Supply and asked to take possession of the paperwork Hunter had filled out to purchase a gun there. The FBI also had some involvement in the investigation.”
But the agency also released a statement about the same time that its agents “had no involvement” in the situation.
The gun shop operators have reported federal officials asked for the paperwork regarding the gun sale.
At one point, a Politico report said it was “curious” that Secret Service agents tried to take control of the paperwork from the gun purchase.
Further, Judicial Watch reported, text messages from Hunter Biden’s abandoned laptop confirmed, “She stole the gun out of my trunk lock box and threw it in a garbage can full to the top at Jansens [sic]. Then told me it was my problem to deal with.”
National Review reported when Hunter Biden answered “no” to the question, “Are you an unlawful user of, or addicted to, marijuana or any depressant, stimulant, narcotic drug, or any other controlled substance?” he may have committed a felony.
The question was part of a background check in order for him to purchase the gun.
The report confirmed, “Hunter Biden has battled drug addiction through much of his adult life, and was discharged from the Navy in 2014 after failing a drug test. The president’s son was stopped by police with a crack pipe in his car in 2017, and an assailant aimed a gun at him while he was trying to purchase cocaine in Los Angeles in 2016.”

Bypass Big Tech Censors
Two Storms, One Harvest
Every food crisis in living memory has been a one-shock event. The 2008 price spike was a commodity bubble. The 2020 shortages were a logistics failure. The 2022 grain scare was a war on one exporter’s ports. Each time, the system bent, adjusted, and recovered, and each time the experts assured us afterward that global markets are simply too big and too diversified to fail.
What nobody in Washington seems eager to discuss is that 2026 is shaping up to be something the modern food system has never actually faced. Two independent shocks, one climatic and one geopolitical, are converging on the same harvest cycle at the same time. Not sequentially. Simultaneously.
Start with the weather. The Pacific Ocean is currently building toward what forecasters now openly call a record event. NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center puts the odds of at least a strong El Niño near 88 percent, with roughly two in three odds it reaches “very strong” status, the tier reserved for perhaps three or four events in the entire satellite era. Every major global model now projects a median peak in Super El Niño territory, and most of them project it exceeding the 2015-16 event, which until now held the modern record. Sea surface anomalies were already brushing the super threshold in mid-July, months before these events normally peak. The atmosphere has already shifted into El Niño mode, and the event is forecast to crest in late fall and early winter.
This is not about “climate change.” It’s about the standard cycles of weather, and the cycle we’re currently in is one that has likely devastated societies in the past. We’re better prepared as a society today, but not all Americans are equally prepared.
Serious households have started doing the quiet math on their own. Grocery bills tell part of the story, and the forecast maps tell the rest, which is why long-term food storage has moved from fringe hobby to mainstream line item in the family budget, with established suppliers like Heaven’s Harvest seeing demand from people who five years ago would have rolled their eyes at the idea. That instinct is not paranoia. It is pattern recognition, and the pattern is worth walking through carefully.
Editor’s Note: Heaven’s Harvest IS a sponsor, but the warnings of this article are real and would be written even if we didn’t have a survival food sponsor. With that said, those who take advantage of what they offer can use promo code “Patriot” for 15% off.
The Fertilizer Clock Is Already Running
While the Pacific warms, the second shock has been unfolding in the Strait of Hormuz. The conflict with Iran turned the world’s most important energy chokepoint into a contested waterway, and the consequences reach far beyond the gas pump. Roughly a third of global fertilizer trade moves through Hormuz, and the disruption sent urea prices up 86 percent year over year by March, with a 53 percent jump in a single month.
The World Bank projects energy prices rising about 24 percent in 2026 and fertilizer about 31 percent. By its own accounting, fertilizer prices ran 35 percent higher in the first five months of this year than the same period last year.
Here is the mechanism the nightly news will not explain. Fertilizer is not a grocery item. It is a time-delayed input. The nitrogen a farmer in Iowa or Punjab could not afford to apply this spring does not show up as a problem this spring. It shows up as a thinner harvest six to twelve months later.
The World Bank’s own food security brief concedes that the effects of reduced applications earlier this season “are likely to become visible only later in harvest outcomes.” Translate that from institutional language into plain English and it means this. The damage is already done, it is already in the ground, and we are simply waiting for it to arrive on the shelf.
Now check the calendar. Six to twelve months from the spring planting season lands us squarely in late 2026 and early 2027. Which is precisely when the strongest El Niño in the instrumental record is forecast to peak, bringing its signature droughts to Southeast Asia, Australia, southern Africa, northern Brazil, and South Asia, the very regions that grow the world’s rice, sugar, and oilseeds.
The World Bank warns openly that a strong El Niño “could disrupt multiple crop belts simultaneously” on top of the conflict-driven input costs. Their baseline projection assumes the Middle East disruptions ease by autumn. What in the last two years of Middle East history suggests that assumption is safe?
The System Has No Slack Left
The comfortable answer is that global markets always adjust. But adjustment requires slack, and the slack is gone. Global cereal production is expected to decline from last year’s records even before El Niño does its work. The UN World Food Programme, hardly a den of right-wing preppers, is calling this the most significant disruption to its supply chains since Covid and the invasion of Ukraine, and its supply chain director put the stakes bluntly.
Today’s supply chain challenges are tomorrow’s hunger crisis.
There is also a political dimension that markets cannot price. When food gets scarce, governments do not behave like economists. They behave like politicians. Export bans, hoarding mandates, and panic buying at the national level turned the modest rice shortfall of 2008 into a global crisis, and analysts are already warning that import-dependent nations are the first dominoes.
The 2015-16 Super El Niño, a far weaker event than what is now forecast, threw tens of millions into food stress across Africa and Asia. This one is projected to be stronger, and it arrives with fertilizer already rationed by price and shipping lanes already contested by missiles.
What Joseph Knew
Scripture does not treat preparation for lean years as faithlessness. It treats it as wisdom delivered in advance to those willing to act on it.
Behold, there come seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt: And there shall arise after them seven years of famine; and all the plenty shall be forgotten in the land of Egypt.
Joseph did not respond to that warning with a hashtag or a committee. He stored grain during the years of abundance, and when the famine came, Egypt stood while its neighbors begged. The lesson is not that famine is certain. It is that the time to prepare is precisely when preparation still looks optional.
Nobody who filled a pantry in a year of plenty has ever regretted it, and nobody standing in an empty aisle has ever been glad he waited for certainty.
None of this calls for panic, and panic is the enemy of sound judgment anyway. It calls for the same unglamorous prudence our grandparents considered ordinary. Keep some cash margin, know your local growers, and put real food in deep storage while it is cheap and available, because the entire arc of this story is that cheap and available is a closing window.
Families looking for a straightforward place to start can visit Heaven’s Harvest and use promo code Patriot for 15 percent off long-term storable food. The forecasts may yet soften, the strait may yet reopen, and we should pray they do. But hope is a fine thing to hold and a foolish thing to eat.
Justice ultimately finds you, no matter who you are. We just aren’t always around to see it.
