/1🚨BREAKING — We just sued Attorney General Merrick Garland and the Biden DOJ for failing to require Hunter Biden to register as a foreign agent while Joe Biden was Vice President.

We have the receipts. Let’s break it down in a thread⤵️ Image
/2 In March, AFL obtained emails from litigation against the National Archives and Records Administration confirming that Hunter directly represented Burisma in its dealings with the Obama White House.
/3 Hunter was both a board member of Burisma, a “foreign principal” under 22 U.S.C. § 611(b), and an attorney at the law firm representing it.
/4 Hunter Biden was arguably Burisma’s agent and subject to FARA registration because he was an officer of Burisma and appears to have represented Burisma’s interests to the Office of the Vice President. Image
/5 An “agent of a foreign principal” under FARA includes: https://t.co/40kNdsfhInjustice.gov/nsd-fara/fara-…
Image
/6 Attorney General Garland failed to require proper registration or otherwise follow legal procedures concerning a FARA waiver for Hunter.
/7 Following this damning revelation, AFL filed a formal complaint with the DOJ against Hunter Biden for failing to register under FARA.

/8 Federal law makes clear that no person shall act as an agent of a foreign principal unless he has filed with the Attorney General a true and complete registration statement and files applicable supplements – none of which occurred during the Obama administration. Image
/9 More recently, the National Archives released an email showing that Hunter Biden was involved in a phone call between Vice President Biden and then-Ukrainian President Poroshenko. Image
/10 On July 10, 2023, the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York unsealed an indictment against Gal Luft for willfully failing to register under the FARA by engaging in political activities in the United States on behalf of CEFC and Ye Jianming, a Chinese national.
Image
Image
/11 However, Hunter Biden’s lucrative business arrangements with CEFC and Ye Jianming have been well known for years.
/12 @SenateHomeland and the @SenateFinance released joint investigative reports on September 23, 2020, and November 18, 2020, detailing the complex web of relationships and financial arrangements between the Biden family and their business associates with CEFC and Ye Jianming.
Image
Image
/13 On July 30, 2017, the @WaysandMeansGOP obtained WhatsApp messages where Hunter wrote to CEFC officials that he was “sitting here with my father” and threatened them. Full message below:
/14 Once again, the Biden family appears to have used their name for influence peddling overseas.

The DOJ has failed to follow official legal procedures and require Hunter to either register as a foreign agent or obtain a waiver. A
/15 AFL will continue to hold Hunter Biden and the DOJ accountable for circumventing the law and conducting foreign affairs illegally while Joe Biden was Vice President. aflegal.org/america-first-…

/1🚨CRACKER BARREL SERVING UP ILLEGAL DISCRIMINATION —

AFL just filed civil rights complaints calling for federal and state investigations into Cracker Barrel for unlawful discrimination based on race and sex in hiring and employment. Image
/2 Cracker Barrel rebranded its DEI website from “Diversity and Inclusion” to “Culture and Inclusion” — but continues to promote apparently unlawful practices.

The company offers employment benefits based on race or sex. Image
/3 Cracker Barrel promises to “attract, select, develop, and retain high-performing talent with diverse backgrounds, experiences and perspectives.” Image

🚨SMOKING GUN🚨

AFL has obtained new documents CONCLUSIVELY PROVING that AG Merrick Garland’s infamous Oct. 4 memo labeling concerned parents at school board meetings “domestic terrorists” was POLITICALLY ORCHESTRATED and DRIVEN by the Biden White House.

“WH has been in touch.” Image
/2 These new documents expose the Biden White House’s involvement in AG Garland’s memo targeting parents — and reveal that career lawyers at DOJ warned that there was no federal authority or legal basis to target these parents in the first place because their speech is protected by the First Amendment.
/3 The documents show that after receiving the National School Board Association (NSBA) memo, which called on DOJ to use the Patriot Act to prevent parents from objecting to mask mandates in schools and Critical Race Theory in the curriculum, DOJ’s political leadership worked to identify anything — any authority — they could use to bring the full weight of the Justice Department down on parents.Image

🚨 BREAKING: NPR’s GOVERNMENT-FUNDED DEI policies EXPOSED!

The Senate just voted to cut funding for NPR. Why should you care?

Among other things:

NPR admits to tracking the race of its employees and, incredibly, its SOURCES used to give you the ‘news.’

Your tax dollars are hard at work pushing an agenda, not reporting the news. 🧵Image
/2 Focused on “inclusive storytelling” (instead of “accurate reporting”), NPR tracks the demographics of its news sources in order to achieve its “newsroom mission” “to look and sound like America.”

THEY ARE RACIALLY BALANCING THEIR NEWS SOURCES! Image
/3 Translation: NPR is basing which stories it covers, runs, and airs on the basis of skin color and sex of the sources of their stories. But don’t just take our word for it. They openly admit it.

This News Source Tracking initiative appears to have resulted in a 16% drop in the number of white news sources since 2013 while black sources have been the primary beneficiary.Image

/1🚨🗳 BREAKING — AFL just filed a formal petition with the U.S. Election Assistance Commission to require proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote in federal elections.

No more “honor system.”

No more loopholes.

Only U.S. citizens voting in U.S. elections. Image
/2 Federal law requires all states to use a single form for voter registration for federal elections.

This form, which the EAC is responsible for maintaining and amending, is required to collect the information necessary to “assess the eligibility of the applicant.” Image
/3 But the federal voter registration form doesn’t actually require any proof of citizenship…

It only requires applicants to check a box saying they are a U.S. citizen.

And it doesn’t require any verification that applicants are telling the truth. Image

/1🚨EXPOSED — The Left is suing to reinstate Biden’s DEI grants, calling it “discrimination” to stop funding race-based woke research.

But here’s what NIH really terminated:

A pipeline of radical, discriminatory junk science.

We read all 4,400 grants. Here’s what we found...🧵 Image
/2 Biden’s HHS awarded $740,000 to NYU for a project titled ADEPT: Assessing Diversity Effects Post Affirmative Action Restrictions in Medical Schools.

The purpose? To study how medical schools can adapt admissions and preserve racial preferences after the Supreme Court’s decision in Students for Fair Admissions.

The goal? To preserve race-based admissions pipelines using “equity and inclusion” as a cover.

This isn’t research.

It’s taxpayer-funded resistance to the Supreme Court.Image
/3 Biden’s HHS also awarded $2.1 million to Emory University to study meth use among black, gay, bisexual “men who have sex with men.”

The goal of the project? To “generate knowledge” to ameliorate “meth-related harms among black GBMSM.”

Apparently, “structural racism,” a “discriminatory LGBT climate,” and “health inequities” are to blame for drug abuse now.

And yes, there’s a lawsuit demanding we reinstate this. 🤡Image

/1🚨BREAKING — AFL just SUED HHS, CMS, and HRSA to expose an ILLEGAL Biden-era plan to give out organ transplants based on RACE and ETHNICITY — not medical need.

DEI in healthcare is DEADLY. Image
/2 In December 2021, Biden’s Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) sought public comments on how to “Advance Equity and Reduce Disparities in Organ Transplantation.” Image
/3 In January 2022, Biden’s Health Resources Services Administration (HRSA) announced new reporting requirements for tracking the race and ethnicity of transplant candidates and recipients. Image
