		<description>&lt;I&gt; The computer guy has nothing to do with the laptop.. The DATA on the laptop PROVES CONCLUSIVELY ownership..
&lt;/i&gt;

The computer guy has EVERYTHING to do with the laptop because he is where the evidence originates!  Anyone who hacks your account can move files from the server and place them onto any device they choose.   The laptop was first given to the FBI… but when the repairman did not see headlines stating that the FBI was investigating the laptop data, he supposedly then sent it to Rudy.   Not sure if that is true, but that is his story.  Why give it to Rudy?   It did not belong to Rudy.  Why not give it back to Biden?  

The repairman claims that he gave it to FBI because he found some porn videos on it and sleazy photos that he found “disturbing”.   Does this guy turn in every person whose laptop he works on has porn on it?   Oh, and one of the PDF files he claims he found was apparently misdated.  The date in the PDF gave one date, but the metadata showed that the file had been created AFTER the repairman claims Hunter dropped it off.   
&lt;I&gt;
That&#039;s what the Democrat Water Carrier flag ship, the NY TIMES has PROVEN...

You like to nitpick inconsequential and irrelevant facts as if it actually proves something..&lt;/i&gt;

And you love to falsely claim something is PROVEN or is a FACT when neither are remotely true!

&lt;i&gt;As to the great lengths.. Twitter BANNED the NY POST for posting the story..

Why would Dorsey do that if there was NOTHING to the laptop?? If it WASN&#039;T Hunter Biden&#039;s??&lt;/i&gt;

Why ban a story created to falsely accuse Hunter Biden of wrong-doing for Trump to use to attack Joe Biden’s candidacy as being corrupt?  Why allow lies to be used to influence our elections?   Because that’s the ONLY way Trump can win.  He has to deceive the country that he is the better candidate — convince them that THEY are the corrupt one; not him!  
&lt;I&gt;
Yes, the actual story is a nuthingburger…

Not according to the NY TIMES...

NY TIMES says &quot;authenticated&quot;... &lt;/i&gt;

So nothing was PROVEN”, but merely &lt;b&gt;”authenticated”&lt;/b&gt;?  

What was authenticated?  They were able to authenticate that some of the emails found on the laptop had been received by their alleged recipients as the data showed.  Which just means that the emails were on the servers Biden used with his Apple account.  Nothing about the emails gave Bill Barr’s DOJ reason to investigate for possible criminal activity.  Big ole’ nuthingburger!</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;Have they moved on from &quot;appears&quot; or are your news sources still lying?&lt;/I&gt;

What part of &quot;authenticated&quot; is not clear to you??

&lt;I&gt;I mean you have the conservative press leading with a lie, &quot;appears&quot; does not equal &quot;confirmed&quot; no matter how much you want it to. Then there are the &quot;crimes&quot; that for some reason you can&#039;t name. All for &quot;well documented&quot; election fraud that you can&#039;t provide the documents.&lt;/I&gt;

You say &quot;appears&quot;...

NY TIMES says &quot;authenticated&quot;...

&lt;I&gt;Are they going to beat the Benghazi record for how many investigations and how much money wasted to find nothing in the end?&lt;/I&gt;

Nothing tops the Democrats and their Russia Collusion Delusion..  3 years... Over 30 million dollars.

And what did yer boy Mueller come up with??

&lt;B&gt;&quot;There was no evidence to support any collusion between Russia and the Trump Campaign&quot;&lt;/B&gt;

OOoowwwww   That&#039;s GOTTA hurt!!   :D  heh</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt; Ya gotta ask yerself Russ...

If the Hunter Biden laptop is a huge nothing burger..

Why did the unholy trinity of Democrat, Big Tech and Big Media go to such extreme lengths to hide it right before the election??&lt;/i&gt;

Do I?  Really?   I’m bored so I might as well play along…

What “extreme lengths” did they go in hiding a story whose sole eye witness is legally blind?  Not running a BS story that was obviously meant to influence the election?   A story made up by the  guy who started a GoFundMe page because his business was suffering after he announced to the world that if you drop off your laptop to be repaired by him, he WILL snoop through all of the contents in your personal files and release them publicly as he pleases?    Was it necessary for him to read the personal emails to look for corrupt files?  Of course not.  And last I checked, if he then gave the laptop that he claims was owned by Hunter Biden to Rudy Giuliani… then he’s trafficking in stolen goods.   

How fortunate that Hunter Biden chose not to get the laptop repaired somewhere close by to where he lived in California, but instead chose to fly cross country to drop it off with a blind repairman whose shop was in the state already investigating Hunter for tax violations!   

And that this laptop (which traveled 3000 miles away from home to be repaired by someone Hunter Biden had never met) would contain alleged emails and documents that could be related to and would thus need to be reviewed by the Delaware grand jury — thus fulfilling the goal that Trump had and was impeached for when he withheld defense aid to Ukraine unless they agreed to Trump’s one demand which was basically: “I don’t care about the actual findings, I just need you to SAY that Hunter is being investigated…Republicans in Congress will handle the rest of it.”???  I mean, what are the chances?!!?  

Someone claimed the laptop contained documents related to the Delaware AG’s investigation into Biden’s taxes and surprise, surprise, the AG wanted the grand jury to investigate those allegations.  It took 5 years, but Trump finally has the headlines that he wanted!   Again, the findings won’t matter to Trump…it’s enough to be able to point to Hunter being investigated for Trump to claim Joe Biden is corrupt.  

Yes, the actual story is a nuthingburger… but Trump’s base feeds off them like nothing else!</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;I think every president is &quot;handled&quot;. &lt;/I&gt;

Not like Joe Biden has been &quot;handled&quot;..  He is CONSTANTLY telling the public that he is not allowed to do this or that..

CONSTANTLY...

Basically, it&#039;s clear to even the most dullard Democrat  that Joe Biden is NOT in charge...

&lt;I&gt;My guess on Biden&#039;s call for Putin&#039;s ouster is that it was intentional, trying to stoke Putin&#039;s distrust of his associates. I say &quot;ouster&quot;, by the way, because doesn&#039;t count as regime change imo unless the system changes. Swapping in one head-of-government for another, while keeping everything else intact, is a change of personnel and a continuation of the regime.&lt;/I&gt;

So Biden is hoping to encourage Putin&#039;s &quot;ouster&quot; and.. what??

Hope the next guy is not as bad as Putin??

*THAT&#039;S* the plan???  :^/

&lt;I&gt;I can&#039;t count how many times I have heard Biden say the following ...&quot;the problem is that I say what I mean; the bigger problem is that I mean what I say.&quot;&lt;/I&gt;

So Biden MEANT it when he said that Putin cannot remain in charge??

So, tell me...

What incentive does that give Putin to stop the war???

Absolutely NONE..  The incentive is for Putin to fight on as if Putin&#039;s survival DEPENDS on it..

Because, according to Biden, it does..   

Basically Biden just undermined the ENTIRE negotiation process...</description>

		<description>Ukraine definitely should not be &quot;neutralized&quot;.  It should remain a sovereign nation-state, with the power to make its own foreign policy.

When the issue at hand isn&#039;t old-fashioned imperial geopolitics, though, we need to move away from sovereign nation-states as the basis for geopolitics.  Just toward something better instead of worse.

All for now.

&lt;i&gt;Russia delenda est&lt;/i&gt;</description>

&lt;i&gt;Above, you said it was &quot;nonsense&quot; that Biden is senile and/or dementia-ridden and that he is being &quot;handled&quot;..&lt;/i&gt;

I think every president is &quot;handled&quot;.  Running a country isn&#039;t something that can be done by just one person.  It doesn&#039;t mean that presidents are figureheads.  They usually do about as much as one human being can.  But if they&#039;re decent, they focus mostly on policy and have staff do most of the worrying about how stuff will sound.

I think the best chance of a win in this war is if it expands to additional countries.  If Russia looks weak, Georgia might try to reclaim its occupied territories.  If Russia looks weak enough, Belarus might try to reclaim its independence.  I don&#039;t think it&#039;s likely, just the best chance we have of surviving.

		<description>Of course, it&#039;s not like Putin hasn&#039;t invited comments like this and worse with his brutal and criminal actions in Ukraine, all in an effort to project his misguided worldview.

Unfortunately, Biden&#039;s &#039;regime change&#039; comment makes the &lt;i&gt;misguided&lt;/i&gt; part above a lot harder to defend.

And, I&#039;m told, it makes every Russian who opposes Putin look like an American agent. Very not good!</description>

What do YOU call instance after instance where Biden goes off-script and has to be walked back by his handlers hours later??

How would YOU explain ALL of the instances that this has happened...  Which is VERY frequently and getting even MORE frequent..

In other words, the facts are fast piling up that such a question simply cannot be ignored any longer..

Is Joe Biden really in charge any more??</description>

A federal tax investigation into Hunter Biden is gaining momentum as prosecutors gather information from several of his associates about the sources of his foreign income, including from Ukraine, and examine President Biden’s son’s relationship with a company that handled some of his finances, according to people familiar with the matter.

In recent weeks, prosecutors from the U.S. attorney’s office in Delaware have sought information and grand-jury testimony about the money Mr. Biden received several years ago from Ukrainian natural-gas company Burisma Holdings Ltd., and how he used that money to pay some obligations, one of those people said.

Last month, prosecutors also extensively questioned at least one other associate of Hunter Biden about Mr. Biden’s drug and alcohol use, spending habits and state of mind in 2018, another person said, suggesting prosecutors are exploring whether such activity would present a defense against a potential criminal tax case.

Prosecutors often seek to get such testimony on the record to secure it before the defense gets a chance to present it more favorably at trial. “It doesn’t necessarily mean an indictment is imminent, but it is indicative of trying to lock in testimony with an eye towards a potential trial someday,” said former federal tax prosecutor Matt Mueller, of the law firm Fogarty Mueller Harris, who isn’t involved in the investigation.

		<description>Like Liz, I get emails too...  

This one is long, but it&#039;s a good read..

But I&#039;ll understand if anyone doesn&#039;t want to read it..

==================================================

&lt;B&gt;Why I&#039;m Suing Ben &amp; Jerry’s

After 30 years of selling ice cream in Israel, the company wants me to boycott my neighbors. I refuse.&lt;/B&gt;

In the mid-1980s, during a trip to Vermont, I discovered a fledgling ice cream company called Ben &amp; Jerry’s. I was impressed by its quality, and set up a meeting with Ben Cohen. We bonded immediately, and I pitched him a plan to bring Ben &amp; Jerry’s to Israel. That’s how I became the company’s first licensee. 
But now, after three decades, I am being forced out of my license because I refuse to discriminate against my neighbors.

Let me explain.

Before most Americans had even heard of Ben &amp; Jerry’s, in 1988 I opened a scoop shop in Tel Aviv. People loved it. I began manufacturing, selling and distributing Chunky Monkey and Cherry Garcia to Israeli and Palestinian cities. Muslims, Jews, Christians, Druze—everyone ate it up. 

For almost 35 years—at my factory in southern Israel, at our scoop shops, and with the drivers and distributors who take our product to markets across Israel and to Palestinian cities and towns—I have had the privilege of working with an incredible range of people. Religious and secular Arabs and Israelis, Sudanese and Ethiopian refugees, immigrants struggling to learn Hebrew, and people with disabilities. Some of them have worked with me for decades. We’ve devoted our lives to Ben &amp; Jerry’s and become an extended family, forging personal friendships with U.S. employees, management and leadership. 

I share the company’s commitment to social justice and have invested tremendous energy and personal resources in programs that foster coexistence and tolerance between Palestinians and Israelis. Among them: Middle East Entrepreneurs of Tomorrow, an M.I.T.-affiliated program that teaches Palestinian and Israeli high school students entrepreneurial skills; Seeds of Peace, which brings together Israeli and Palestinian youth; the Ethiopian National Project, which helps Ethiopian immigrants assimilate to Israel; Global Learning and Observations to Benefit the Environment, a science-education program sponsored by NASA that includes Arab and Jewish schoolchildren; Jordan River Village, a Paul Newman initiative that gives terminally ill children and their families the opportunity to have a week-long sleep-away camp experience; and Kids4Peace, the name of which speaks for itself.

For decades, Ben &amp; Jerry’s Israel has supported these causes and more, including initiatives I developed like “Fruits of Peace”—a project to strengthen economic cooperation between Israelis and Palestinians by developing ice cream flavors using ingredients sourced from local Palestinian farmers. But the anti-Israel Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement, which does not support coexistence, prevented us from moving forward on this program, which opened economic doors for Palestinians like no other. 

Contrary to what you may have read, BDS is not about opposing a particular Israeli policy. It is about opposing Israel’s very existence, and thus it rejects any effort to “normalize” relations between Israelis and Palestinians. BDS cares more about ending Israel entirely than providing economic opportunities to Palestinians.

For years, the BDS movement has been targeting Ben &amp; Jerry’s headquarters in Vermont, demanding the company end sales in what it calls the “Occupied Palestinian Territory.” But the primary consumers in those territories are Palestinians. In other words: BDS activists wanted Ben &amp; Jerry’s to “help” Palestinians by depriving them of jobs (and ice cream).

Ben &amp; Jerry’s resisted the pressure. The company’s board visited us twice in Israel and saw how Palestinians and Israelis benefited from our coexistence projects and social mission work. Everything changed last May when the pressure reached a boiling point, and Ben &amp; Jerry’s insisted I stop providing ice cream to my customers in East Jerusalem and the West Bank.
  
I could not comply. I refuse to discriminate, and I strongly believe that boycotts are not the path to peace in the Middle East. But most significant of all: the Ben &amp; Jerry’s directive is against the law. 

Israel’s anti-discrimination law prohibits discriminating against individuals based on residence. The company’s directive also breaches Israel’s anti-boycott law; American anti-boycott laws and policies; the terms of my license agreement; and the terms of a consent decree that Ben &amp; Jerry’s and Unilever, Ben &amp; Jerry’s’ parent company, signed as a condition of Israel’s approval of the Ben &amp; Jerry’s-Unilever merger.

Requiring that I stop selling my ice cream to any customers—Palestinians or Israelis, Christians or Druze—based on where they live is illegal. That is why Ben &amp; Jerry’s’ claim that this is not a boycott of Israel is disingenuous. Under the law, no one can lawfully do what Ben &amp; Jerry’s is demanding I do. So unless Ben &amp; Jerry’s finds someone willing to violate the law and go against Israeli and U.S. public policy, there will be no Ben &amp; Jerry’s anywhere in Israel when my current license ends at the end of this year.  

I proposed alternatives. I suggested having a Palestinian distributor handle distribution in the West Bank—a significant economic opportunity.

I expected, after all this, that Unilever would recognize its mistake. But instead, after months of silence, the company recently claimed it is working on a “new arrangement” to remain in Israel—presumably without me or my employees. So I had no choice but to take them to court.  

Earlier this month I sued Unilever and Ben &amp; Jerry’s to stop them from shutting down my business and harming the people we have worked so hard all these years to support: my nearly 200 employees; hundreds of suppliers, distributors and farmers who rely on Ben &amp; Jerry’s Israel; students who participate in coexistence programs we sponsor; and millions of consumers. If Unilever and Ben &amp; Jerry’s sincerely desire to help, rather than harm all of these people, they will reverse their decision and renew my license.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Like Liz, I get emails too...  </p>
<p>This one is long, but it's a good read..</p>
<p>But I'll understand if anyone doesn't want to read it..</p>
<p>==================================================</p>
<p><b>Why I'm Suing Ben &amp; Jerry’s</p>
<p>After 30 years of selling ice cream in Israel, the company wants me to boycott my neighbors. I refuse.</b></p>
<p>In the mid-1980s, during a trip to Vermont, I discovered a fledgling ice cream company called Ben &amp; Jerry’s. I was impressed by its quality, and set up a meeting with Ben Cohen. We bonded immediately, and I pitched him a plan to bring Ben &amp; Jerry’s to Israel. That’s how I became the company’s first licensee.<br />
But now, after three decades, I am being forced out of my license because I refuse to discriminate against my neighbors.</p>
<p>Let me explain.</p>
<p>Before most Americans had even heard of Ben &amp; Jerry’s, in 1988 I opened a scoop shop in Tel Aviv. People loved it. I began manufacturing, selling and distributing Chunky Monkey and Cherry Garcia to Israeli and Palestinian cities. Muslims, Jews, Christians, Druze—everyone ate it up. </p>
<p>For almost 35 years—at my factory in southern Israel, at our scoop shops, and with the drivers and distributors who take our product to markets across Israel and to Palestinian cities and towns—I have had the privilege of working with an incredible range of people. Religious and secular Arabs and Israelis, Sudanese and Ethiopian refugees, immigrants struggling to learn Hebrew, and people with disabilities. Some of them have worked with me for decades. We’ve devoted our lives to Ben &amp; Jerry’s and become an extended family, forging personal friendships with U.S. employees, management and leadership. </p>
<p>I share the company’s commitment to social justice and have invested tremendous energy and personal resources in programs that foster coexistence and tolerance between Palestinians and Israelis. Among them: Middle East Entrepreneurs of Tomorrow, an M.I.T.-affiliated program that teaches Palestinian and Israeli high school students entrepreneurial skills; Seeds of Peace, which brings together Israeli and Palestinian youth; the Ethiopian National Project, which helps Ethiopian immigrants assimilate to Israel; Global Learning and Observations to Benefit the Environment, a science-education program sponsored by NASA that includes Arab and Jewish schoolchildren; Jordan River Village, a Paul Newman initiative that gives terminally ill children and their families the opportunity to have a week-long sleep-away camp experience; and Kids4Peace, the name of which speaks for itself.</p>
<p>For decades, Ben &amp; Jerry’s Israel has supported these causes and more, including initiatives I developed like “Fruits of Peace”—a project to strengthen economic cooperation between Israelis and Palestinians by developing ice cream flavors using ingredients sourced from local Palestinian farmers. But the anti-Israel Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement, which does not support coexistence, prevented us from moving forward on this program, which opened economic doors for Palestinians like no other. </p>
<p>Contrary to what you may have read, BDS is not about opposing a particular Israeli policy. It is about opposing Israel’s very existence, and thus it rejects any effort to “normalize” relations between Israelis and Palestinians. BDS cares more about ending Israel entirely than providing economic opportunities to Palestinians.</p>
<p>For years, the BDS movement has been targeting Ben &amp; Jerry’s headquarters in Vermont, demanding the company end sales in what it calls the “Occupied Palestinian Territory.” But the primary consumers in those territories are Palestinians. In other words: BDS activists wanted Ben &amp; Jerry’s to “help” Palestinians by depriving them of jobs (and ice cream).</p>
<p>Ben &amp; Jerry’s resisted the pressure. The company’s board visited us twice in Israel and saw how Palestinians and Israelis benefited from our coexistence projects and social mission work. Everything changed last May when the pressure reached a boiling point, and Ben &amp; Jerry’s insisted I stop providing ice cream to my customers in East Jerusalem and the West Bank.</p>
<p>I could not comply. I refuse to discriminate, and I strongly believe that boycotts are not the path to peace in the Middle East. But most significant of all: the Ben &amp; Jerry’s directive is against the law. </p>
<p>Israel’s anti-discrimination law prohibits discriminating against individuals based on residence. The company’s directive also breaches Israel’s anti-boycott law; American anti-boycott laws and policies; the terms of my license agreement; and the terms of a consent decree that Ben &amp; Jerry’s and Unilever, Ben &amp; Jerry’s’ parent company, signed as a condition of Israel’s approval of the Ben &amp; Jerry’s-Unilever merger.</p>
<p>Requiring that I stop selling my ice cream to any customers—Palestinians or Israelis, Christians or Druze—based on where they live is illegal. That is why Ben &amp; Jerry’s’ claim that this is not a boycott of Israel is disingenuous. Under the law, no one can lawfully do what Ben &amp; Jerry’s is demanding I do. So unless Ben &amp; Jerry’s finds someone willing to violate the law and go against Israeli and U.S. public policy, there will be no Ben &amp; Jerry’s anywhere in Israel when my current license ends at the end of this year.  </p>
<p>I proposed alternatives. I suggested having a Palestinian distributor handle distribution in the West Bank—a significant economic opportunity. But when Ben &amp; Jerry’s learned that the distributor, naturally, wanted to increasesales in the territory, they nixed it. As they explained, we had to get the number of pints in the West Bank down to zero, because they were determined that Ben &amp; Jerry’s ice cream not be sold, at all, in East Jerusalem and the West Bank.  </p>
<p>When I refused to bow to the boycott and to break the law, Unilever essentially fired me despite assuring me on multiple occasions that my contract would be renewed. Terminating my license solely because I refused to commit a crime is a violation of U.S. law. You cannot, as a condition of a contract, demand that a party do something illegal.</p>
<p>Even more upsetting is the hypocrisy. First, Unilever continues to sell thousands of its own products, including Hellman’s mayonnaise, Dove soap, and its own Magnum and Strauss ice creams, in the West Bank and East Jerusalem. Second, how can Unilever and Ben &amp; Jerry’s look at themselves in the mirror? They speak about social justice yet are quick to throw hundreds of employees who have been loyal to the company for so many years under the bus. I refuse to abandon my people like that. And it is Palestinians who will be harmed the most.

		<description>&lt;B&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Did Biden just escalate in Ukraine?

Because of the US president’s recent remarks, it is likely that this conflict will drag on&lt;/B&gt;

On Friday, reports began emanating from Russia’s military command that they were changing the objectives of what many Western analysts claim has been Moscow’s flagging invasion of Ukraine.

Whether or not the West’s instant claims that Russia had failed at the outset of its illegal invasion of its proto-democratic neighbor Ukraine, the fact remained that Russia’s leader, Vladimir Putin, was clearly under political pressure to succeed in Ukraine as quickly as possible.

In fact, earlier last week, it was reported that Putin had ordered his military to have the unpopular war wrapped up by May 9 – just 11 weeks after the massive invasion began – and the anniversary of the Soviet Union’s victory over Nazi Germany in the Second World War. &lt;/Blockquote&gt;

There is simply no way that Ukraine can &quot;win&quot; this war...

&lt;blockquote&gt;Meanwhile other analysts, such as this author, have fretted that the longer the conflict wore on inconclusively, the more likely the Kremlin was to order unconventional escalation involving cyberspace attacks on the United States, potential tactical nuclear strikes on NATO supply depots in Poland, and the use of chemical or biological weapons against targets of opportunity in Ukraine. &lt;/blockquote&gt;

And, when the nukes start flying, it&#039;s going to be a whole new world...

A life-altering change right up there with First Contact as far as impacting to our civilization..

&lt;blockquote&gt;Things were looking much better for the pro-Western Zelensky government in Kiev than they had in weeks. So it defies explanation that US President Joe Biden would have hopped on to Air Force One – after having been mostly absent for the duration of this tragic war – flown over to Poland, and made two terrible misstatements at such a critical point in the Russo-Ukrainian relationship. 

Yet “misspeak” Mr Biden did! 

A man notorious for his inopportune gaffes, Biden went before a group of US Army personnel stationed in Poland and told the 82nd Airborne that they were heading over to Ukraine. From there, Biden went to the nation’s capital Warsaw and, supposedly breaking away from his carefully scripted remarks, burbled on about how Vladimir Putin’s reign of terror in Moscow needed to end.

This, after Biden a week ago had labeled his Russian counterpart a “war criminal” (and repeating that true but unnecessary claim while in Poland)! &lt;/Blockquote&gt;

&lt;B&gt;&quot;Never underestimate Joe Biden&#039;s ability to f*ck things up..&quot;&lt;/B&gt;
-Barack Hussein Odumbo

:^/

&lt;blockquote&gt;We are told that the US president was misstating the official policy of his administration. However, this strains credulity for two reasons.


First, if the president says it is his policy to view Russian strongman Vladimir Putin as a war criminal, if it is his decision to deploy the 82nd Airborne into war-torn Ukraine, and if he declares that Putin’s violent regime must come to an end, by definition, it is now the official policy of his administration (if it wasn’t already its unofficial policy). For it not to be the official policy of his administration, President Biden would need to correct his statements publicly. 

Second, Biden’s White House is stuffed full of advisers who believe that Putin’s regime is the greatest evil in history – and these advisers are willing to make a deal with China to punish Moscow.

It is not that hard to believe that President Biden does, in fact, support deploying American troops into Ukraine or that he wants to overthrow the Putin regime as the United States did to Saddam Hussein’s or Muammar Gaddafi’s regimes (and attempted to do to Bashar al-Assad’s government). 
https://asiatimes.com/2022/03/did-biden-just-escalate-in-ukraine/
&lt;/Blockquote&gt;

If the POTUS makes a policy statement and doesn&#039;t personally walk it back, then the policy statement IS the policy of the United States Of America...

This is FACT...

So, as of this moment and until Biden says otherwise, Regime Change in Russia *IS* the Official Policy of the US...

And NOTHING will start the nukes flying faster than Putin being backed into a corner..

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;B&gt;Biden&#039;s job approval falls to lowest level of his presidency amid war and inflation fears

Seven in 10 Americans expressed low confidence in the president&#039;s ability to deal with Russia&#039;s invasion of Ukraine as his approval fell to 40 percent in the new NBC News poll.&lt;/B&gt;

Amid Europe’s largest land war since World War II, 7 in 10 Americans expressed low confidence in President Joe Biden’s ability to deal with Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in a new NBC News poll, and 8 in 10 voiced worry that the war will increase gas prices and possibly involve nuclear weapons. 

And during the nation’s largest inflation spike in 40 years, overwhelming majorities said they believe the country is headed in the wrong direction and disapproved of the president’s handling of the economy.

Those are some of the major findings of the new national NBC News poll, which found that Biden’s overall job approval rating had declined to 40 percent, the lowest level of his presidency. The survey also found that Republicans enjoyed a 2-point lead in answering which party should control Congress ahead of November’s midterm elections.

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;“When you say this guy must go you’ve essentially declared you’re not going to do business with him,” he added. “However appealing at an emotional level, it’s not going to happen. We can’t control it, and it probably won’t take place anytime soon.”

Over the past few weeks, Biden’s rhetoric on Putin — a man he once recounted telling to his face, “I don’t think you have a soul” — has become increasingly pointed. He has called him a “butcher” “pure thug” and a “murderous dictator.” So saying that he should be removed from power could viewed as the logical next step.

It also is in line with Biden at times articulating policy before his aides are ready. Last week, he called Putin a “war criminal,” which White House aides quickly said was simply him “speaking from the heart.” But within a few days, U.S. policy changed as Blinken also called Putin a war criminal and released a formal assessment on war crimes committed by Russia.

Biden’s comment was particularly striking because his administration has taken pains to avoid even implying that regime change is a goal of the Western response to Russia’s aggression.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told state news agencies, “That’s not for Biden to decide. The president of Russia is elected by Russians.”&lt;/blockquote&gt;

If there IS to be a World War III, you can bet that Biden will stumble us into it..  :^/</description>

		<description>And, on Biedn&#039;s &#039;DC Truism&#039; AKA Bonehead Gaffe...

&lt;B&gt;But the comment also seemed to provide a window into Biden’s current thinking, and some of the mind-set that the administration has with regard to Putin.

“What it tells me, and worries me, is that the top team is not thinking about plausible war termination,” said Michael O’Hanlon, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution and author of the book “The Art of War in an Age of Peace: U.S. Grand Strategy and Resolute Restraint.”

“If they were, Biden’s head wouldn’t be in a place where he’s saying, ‘Putin must go.’ The only way to get to war termination is to negotiate with this guy,” O’Hanlon said.&lt;/B&gt;

Biden want&#039;s regime change..  White House says &lt;B&gt;&quot;No, no no... Biden wasn&#039;t talking about regime change&quot;&lt;/B&gt; when the FACTS clearly show that Biden IS talking about regime change..

I need to buy stock in popcorn..  Because popcorn eating is going to EXPLODE once the GOP takes control of Congress and the monthly Biden Impeachments are to be televised LIVE...  :D

I&#039;ll be able to LIVE BLOG the Impeachments Of Joe Biden...

Won&#039;t that be a hoot!!??  :D</description>

		<description>As for the OSCARS???

&lt;B&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Oscars Slammed for Playing Toto’s “Africa” as Daniel Kaluuya, H.E.R. Took Stage

The Academy Awards later played Madonna&#039;s &#039;La Isla Bonita&#039; for Stephanie Beatriz. &quot;Honestly, how in the hell is this happening?&quot;&lt;/B&gt;

For an awards ceremony trying to be as diverse and socially conscious as possible, you’d think somebody would have taken a closer look at music choices being played to introduce presenters at the 2022 Oscars.

The 94th Annual Academy Awards production team played Toto’s “Africa” as British actor Daniel Kaluuya and singer H.E.R., both of whom won Oscars the previous year, took the stage early Sunday night to present best supporting actress.

Some are pointing out that the 1982 song was a rather poor choice to introduce two Black presenters.

Next, the show played Madonna’s 1987 Latin-inspired “La Isla Bonita” to introduce Latina actress Stephanie Beatriz (Brooklyn Nine-Nine), who was introducing the best song nominee from Encanto.

That pick, some viewers pointed out, really wasn’t the best look either.&lt;/Blockquote&gt;

After making such a huge fuss for racial quotas in movie making, the OSCARS go and pull this..

I honestly don&#039;t know whether to laugh or cry...</description>

		<description>Ya gotta ask yerself Russ...

If the Hunter Biden laptop is a huge nothing burger..

Why did the unholy trinity of Democrat, Big Tech and Big Media go to such extreme lengths to hide it right before the election??

And, if the Hunter Biden laptop is such a huge nothing burger, why did the Democrat Water Carrier extraordinaire NEW YORK TIMES point to it as a source of Hunter Biden facts and evidence in the ongoing Delaware investigation??

I know, I know.. You ignore the facts that you aren&#039;t convenient to your pro Democrat agenda...  :^/</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;Funny. Trumps lawyers were asked directly in many of the over 60 cases he brought before the court if the attorneys were claiming that election fraud had occurred, and not a single Trump attorney answered in the affirmative! In over 60 cases they failed to provide ANY actual evidence of the voter fraud that they accuse the Democrats of committing. Zilch! None!&lt;/I&gt;

Not factually accurate..

PLENTY of factual evidence of voter fraud was provided..  Some of it is still being examined..

I would provide you links to those facts, but knowing your proclivity to ignore inconvenient facts, I really don&#039;t want to waste my time..  :^/

&lt;I&gt;Her late husband had been a Russian oligarch…not her! And her husband fell out of favor with the Kremlin and was forced to seek exile in London… pretty much ending his being considered a “Russian oligarch” anymore. Sanctions have been focused on those that support Putin currently in his attempt to take Ukraine. People no longer in support of Putin should not be sanctioned. It isn’t that difficult to understand.&lt;/I&gt;

Oh.. So a Russian woman can&#039;t be an oligarch??

My, how sexist of you, Russ.. :D

The fact is she IS a Russian oligarch.. And she wasn&#039;t sanctioned because she has personal ties to Joe Biden..

&lt;B&gt;&quot;These are the facts of the case.  And they are undisputed.&quot;&lt;/B&gt;

		<description>Russ,

&lt;I&gt;Why wasn’t Trump presenting the evidence at his rallies prior to the election? All those times Trump rambled on about how tough it was to flush presidential document down the toilet (have to flush 8 -12 times and it still won’t get it all) and he thought that was more important than this?&lt;/I&gt;

What is your fixation with President Trump??

The Hunter Biden laptop has NOTHING to do with President Trump..

&lt;I&gt;Why wasn’t FoxNews or the NYPost running with this part of the story before now? The NYPost and Giuliani had copies of the hard drives given to them back in mid-2019! They had access to everything on the hard drive at that time… and no one bothered to bring these forward until now?&lt;/I&gt;

Fox News DID run with the Post story..  But when the unholy trinity of Democrats, Big Tech and Big Media conspired to hide the laptop and the Trump/America hating FBI joined the process to bury the laptop, there was nothing new to report..

Why do you refuse to acknowledge the conspiracy to bury the laptop??

I am getting tired of answering your hysteria with cold hard objective facts and you IGNORE everything your precious Democrats have done.

Until you can address the FACTS, we&#039;re done on the Hunter Biden laptop..</description>

&lt;a href=&quot;https://youtu.be/lFQKvtbD6Kw&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Gotta do what you can just to keep your love alive
Trying not to confuse it with what you do to survive&lt;/a&gt;</description>

		<description>Okay, everyone ... you, too, Joshua ... welcome one and all to a truncated &lt;b&gt;CW Sunday Night Music Festival and Dance Party ... well, we can skip the dance party for now&lt;/b&gt;!

I know of Dave Grohl and of Nirvana and the Foo Fighters but I never knew about the Foo Fighters&#039; drummer, Taylor Hawkins. He died suddenly the other day at his hotel before a concert scheduled for that night. He was just 50  years old.

So many of my favourite musicians were posting in tribute on facebook over the last couple of days and so, I&#039;ve come to know about him and the music of the Foo Fighters as well.

That&#039;s a great thing about facebook or meta or whatever the heck it&#039;s called ... you get to learn about great music and discover it for the first time ... sadly, sometimes in the wake of a musician gone too soon.

		<description>&lt;I&gt; Biden and the Democrats cheated.. Both before AND after the election..

The facts that PROVE this are well documented..
&lt;/i&gt;

Funny.  Trumps lawyers were asked directly in many of the over 60 cases he brought before the court if the attorneys were claiming that election fraud had occurred, and not a single Trump attorney answered in the affirmative!   In over 60 cases they failed to provide ANY actual evidence of the voter fraud that they accuse the Democrats of committing.   Zilch!  None!  

&lt;I&gt; Specifically, Nelson asked about Russian oligarch Yelena Baturina, who has not been sanctioned, but who allegedly wired $3.5 million on Feb. 14, 2014, to a firm associated with Hunter’s former business partner Devon Archer.&lt;/i&gt;

So this person in 2014, wired money to a business associated with someone associated with Hunter Biden.  I love that they point out that she hasn’t been sanctioned; as if this was viewed as an oversight somehow and she deserved sanctioning.   But your own article explains why she hasn’t been sanctioned:

&lt;b&gt; Baturina, the wife of the former corrupt mayor of Moscow, Yury Luzhkov, was living in exile in London at the time after her husband fell out with the Kremlin.&lt;/b&gt;

Her late husband had been a Russian oligarch…not her!   And her husband fell out of favor with the Kremlin and was forced to seek exile in London… pretty much ending his being considered a “Russian oligarch” anymore.  Sanctions have  been focused on those that support Putin currently in his attempt to take Ukraine.   People no longer in support of Putin should not be sanctioned.  It isn’t that difficult to understand.</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt; R: That is so crazy! How does “new evidence” emerge after all this time has passed?&lt;b&gt;

M:  Because the conspiracy of Democrats, Big Media and Big Tech have buried Hunter Biden&#039;s laptop until now...&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

Why wasn’t Trump presenting the evidence at his rallies prior to the election?  All those times Trump rambled on about how tough it was to flush presidential document down the toilet (have to flush 8 -12 times and it still won’t get it all) and he thought that was more important than this?   

Why wasn’t FoxNews or the NYPost running with this part of the story before now?  The NYPost and Giuliani had copies of the hard drives given to them back in mid-2019!    They had access to everything on the hard drive at that time… and no one bothered to bring these forward until now?   

Also, the Delaware AG’s investigation into Hunter Biden’s taxes started two years before the laptop was dropped off to the legally blind computer repairman.  They have nothing to do with the laptop.   Plus there is the little issue of the chain of evidence that links the laptop to Hunter Biden being non-existent!   

&lt;I&gt; So, in YOUR mind, the NY TIMES is President Trump&#039;s &quot;keystone criminal&quot;??? :D
&lt;/i&gt;
The WAPost has conservative pundits who write opinion pieces, so why wouldn’t the NYTimes?   All seem willing to take everything Trump spews as gospel, but they are just the bullhorn used to spread the bullshat.  No, Trump is the source of all of this.  He’s been trying to find evidence of Biden being the grifter that he is since 2017… and has failed because Biden isn’t like Trump.  Trump has to feel the walls finally closing in on him!</description>

And yet, there are all those comments about what he is allowed and not allowed to do.. Who he is allowed and not allowed to have ask questions..

It happens far too often not to be considered..</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;That is nonsense, Michale.&lt;/I&gt;

Perhaps..  But, as I said.. It DOES fit all the facts..

Biden himself has said repeatedly on what he is and is not &quot;allowed&quot; to do..

Someone IS pulling his strings..  That is established fact..

&lt;I&gt;Hey everyone!

Do you know any great anti-war songs?

Let&#039;s play some tonight ...

Until then ... over and out.&lt;/I&gt;

EVE OF DESTRUCTION and ONE TIN SOLDIER are my 2 favorites..</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;I just don&#039;t understand it.&lt;/I&gt;

It&#039;s easy to understand it if you accept one possibility..

A possibility that has a growing list of supporting facts.

Joe Biden is a figure head..  He is being handled..

It&#039;s the ONLY explanation that fits all the facts..</description>

		<description>I can&#039;t help but think about how hard Biden worked on how the US could bring diplomacy to bear on US policy in Iraq in the period starting shortly after the US invasion of Iraq began.

For five long years, Biden worked tirelessly to bring that war to a peaceful end where all of the parts of Iraq could live and work together to build a country that all Iraqis could be proud of.

In September of 2007, in a sense of the Senate resolution, Biden garnered the bipartisan support of 75 US senators for his vision of US policy towards Iraq. It was a plan that could have worked if the Bush administration hadn&#039;t looked a gift horse in the mouth and worked very successfully to sabatoge the plan from the get-go.

The Ukraine-Russia problem is a MUCH easier diplomatic problem to solve and, yet, no effort from the Biden administration has been put into it. 

I just don&#039;t understand it.</description>

<p>The Ukraine-Russia problem is a MUCH easier diplomatic problem to solve and, yet, no effort from the Biden administration has been put into it. </p>
<p>I just don't understand it.</p>

		<description>Liz,

&lt;I&gt;If Russia&#039;s invasion of Ukraine can end with a negotiated settlement, it will certainly be DESPITE Biden&#039;s reckless rhetoric since well before the beginning of hostilities and not because of his diplomatic prowess.&lt;/I&gt;

I have to admit, Liz..  I am gabber-flasted at your turn around..

We have known each other over 15 years... well, as much as people can &quot;know&quot; each other over sharing political comments on a forum..  :D

But I have to say it&#039;s eerie.. TWILIGHT ZONE eerie... ALTERNATE REALITY eerie... that you would turn around so completely on Joe Biden..

&lt;I&gt;Which, it should go without saying, suprises the hell out of me. Disillusioned and the disappointed are two more apt words to describe my reaction to how Biden has handled and helped to precipitate this crisis.&lt;/I&gt;

EXACTLY...  

&lt;I&gt;I am really worried now that the heart-breaking disaster that has befallen Ukraine is destined to continue much longer before a political settlement can wind it down - IF negotiations even have a chance.&lt;/I&gt;

It&#039;s been commented in MANY articles that I have posted that Biden and the US are bending over backwards NOT to help or support a cease-fire...

Being the cynical guy I am, I have a feeling it&#039;s because Biden&#039;s handlers are telling him that this might be a way to salvage his approval numbers and they are trying to milk it for all it&#039;s worth...

&lt;B&gt;&quot;Never let a crisis go to waste...&quot;&lt;/B&gt;

Isn&#039;t that the Democrat Party way??

&lt;I&gt;Here is a piece from Foreign Affairs that clearly lays out a way forward but, it depends on some very clever negotiating tactics that have not as yet been demonstrated ...

What If Russia Makes a Deal?&lt;/I&gt;

Reading it now..  :D</description>

&lt;B&gt;Blinken walks back Biden&#039;s comments about regime change in Russia&lt;/B&gt;
https://www.foxnews.com/live-news/ukraine-russia-live-updates-03-27-2022

Why is it that White House officials are ALWAYS having to re-comment on Joe Biden&#039;s statements..

The SECOND time to clarify and spin what Joe Biden said to what it&#039;s supposed to ostensibly mean..  :D

		<description>&lt;bLOCKQUOTE&gt;We have the basis for a peace deal, but Biden’s harsh rhetoric leaves no room for compromise on either side.

It’s one thing to keep Ukraine supplied with antitank and antiaircraft missiles, and I think we should give them all they can use. That’s the stick.

The carrot should be peace talks aimed at neutralizing Ukraine (as Kyiv has already agreed to in principle), protections or even border realignments for Russian-majority areas, and relaxing (but not removing) sanctions so long as an effective ceasefire holds.

But that’s not what Biden is doing. Instead, he’s talking publicly about war crimes and privately about regime change.

Vladimir Putin has been informed reliably by the Western alliance that his exit — which in his case possibly includes a firing squad — is the price for peace.

Instead of building Putin a golden bridge to peace, Biden has backed him into a corner and dared him to lash out.

That’s the idiot’s way to start World War III, but from Joe Biden, what else did you expect?
https://pjmedia.com/vodkapundit/2022/03/23/joe-biden-and-world-war-iii-for-dummies-n1583519&lt;/blockquote&gt;

After the debacle that was Afghanistan, is ANYONE here really surprised that it would be Democrat Joe Biden that would bravado us into World War III???</description>

		<description>&lt;Blockquote&gt;&lt;B&gt;Elon Musk asks &#039;is a new platform needed?&#039; after Twitter free speech criticism

Musk&#039;s 79.1 million followers immediately called on him to either buy Twitter himself or build a new platform.&lt;/B&gt;

Tesla co-founder and CEO Elon Musk wondered aloud on Twitter whether another platform is needed, causing his millions of followers to call for him to buy the social media giant.


&quot;Given that Twitter serves as the de facto public town square, failing to adhere to free speech principles fundamentally undermines democracy,&quot; Musk tweeted Saturday. &quot;What should be done?&quot;

In a follow-up post, Musk asked, &quot;Is a new platform needed?&quot;

Musk&#039;s 79.1 million followers immediately called on him to either buy Twitter himself or build a new platform.

&quot;Buy this one!!!&quot; Christina Pushaw, press secretary for Florida’s Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis responded.


&quot;Yes,&quot; former CIA analyst and conservative radio host Buck Sexton tweeted. &quot;Buy twitter or please build one. Save the country from these psycho Silicon Valley libs.&quot;


&quot;Buy Twitter,&quot; radio host Jason Rantz tweeted.

Musk’s original post asking his followers what should be done about Twitter censorship was retweeted over 10,000 times and liked over 62,000 times an hour after being posted.

Twitter has been widely criticized for years by conservatives who say the social media giant has censored free speech including this week when the company put warning labels on articles published by The Federalist it said &quot;may be unsafe.&quot;

Twitter later removed the warning labels and told Fox News Digital that the company had &quot;mistakenly&quot; flagged the posts. 

Twitter previously took part in the widespread effort to suppress the New York Post&#039;s bombshell reporting about Hunter Biden&#039;s laptop in the final weeks of the 2020 presidential election, which was authenticated by The New York Times last week.&lt;/blockquote&gt;
https://www.foxbusiness.com/politics/elon-musk-new-platform-needed-twitter-free-speech

Ho boy, Democrats are in trouble now!!!  :D

Iddn&#039;t it funny how FaceBook and Twitter all claim that &quot;Mistakes were made&quot;, but ALL those &quot;mistakes&quot; ALL go in the SAME direction..

To protect the Leftist/Democrat/Anti America agenda..

&quot;Mistakes&quot; that ALL go the same way are not &quot;mistakes&quot;..  They are planned and executed to serve an agenda..</description>

		<description>Russ,

&lt;I&gt;I have been wondering what Trump’s keystone criminals was trying to accomplish by continuing on with the Hunter Biden “laptop” dramatization they have been rewriting daily. &lt;/I&gt;

Really??

So, in YOUR mind, the NY TIMES is President Trump&#039;s &quot;keystone criminal&quot;???  :D

How does THAT work?? Exactly...  :D</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;It&#039;d be nice, but I&#039;m not holding my breath at any kind of reply to this obvious flaws in their narrative. You know, the narrative where Trump wasn&#039;t such a disaster of a President that he motivated 80+ million voters to vote for Joe Bleeping Biden.&lt;/I&gt;

That&#039;s easy to explain..

Biden and the Democrats cheated..  Both before AND after the election..

The facts that PROVE this are well documented..

It was a perfect storm of corruption (Democrats BUYING entire election boards) and happenstance (COVID Pandemic) that will NOT be available in 2022 and 2024..

So, we&#039;ll see ACTUAL REAL results in THOSE elections which will reflect the OBVIOUS preference that the American people want the GOP in charge...

You just HAVE to know this is all factual, eh??  :D

Despite the bravado, you just HAVE to know that the GOP is going to take over Congress with MANDATE-LEVEL majorities, eh??  :D</description>

<p>So, we'll see ACTUAL REAL results in THOSE elections which will reflect the OBVIOUS preference that the American people want the GOP in charge...</p>
<p>You just HAVE to know this is all factual, eh??  :D</p>
<p>Despite the bravado, you just HAVE to know that the GOP is going to take over Congress with MANDATE-LEVEL majorities, eh??  :D</p>

		<description>Russ,

&lt;I&gt;That is so crazy! How does “new evidence” emerge after all this time has passed? &lt;/I&gt;

Because the conspiracy of Democrats, Big Media and Big Tech have buried Hunter Biden&#039;s laptop until now...

&lt;B&gt;&quot;Doi!!&quot;&lt;/B&gt;
-Vanillope Von Schweetz, WRECK IT RALPH

&lt;I&gt; You know…the exact thing that a counterintelligence investigation into Trump has been looking at for years! Trump just cannot resist going back to his tired attempts to deflect probable future charges he’s going to be facing!&lt;/I&gt;

Except NONE of this has ANYTHING to do with President Trump..

It&#039;s the NY Times that has brought this out into the open by reporting on the Delaware State Attorney&#039;s investigation..

You are so hung up on President Trump you simply ignore the REAL danger that Hunter Biden and Joe Biden are in over this..

And, once the GOP takes control of the House, you just HAVE to know that they will crawl up Hunter Biden&#039;s arse with a microscope and ALL of it is going to come out.. 

Can you say &quot;MONTHLY IMPEACHMENTS OF JOE BIDEN&quot;??? 

Sure ya can...  :D</description>

I know, I know. I&#039;m still amazed at how millions of Trumpanzies buy into this crap...and think &lt;b&gt;we&#039;re the retarded voters.&lt;/b&gt;


It&#039;d be nice, but I&#039;m not holding my breath at any kind of reply to this obvious flaws in their narrative. You know, the narrative where Trump wasn&#039;t such a disaster of a President that he motivated 80+ million voters to vote for Joe Bleeping Biden.</description>

I have been wondering what Trump’s keystone criminals was trying to accomplish by continuing on with the Hunter Biden “laptop” dramatization they have been rewriting daily.   But your post clarified it for me… thank you!

&lt;I&gt;Now, new evidence has emerged via the laptop showing that Baturina wired as much as $118 million to various offshoots of Rosemont Seneca Partners, the consulting firm co-founded by Hunter, Archer and John Kerry’s stepson, Chris Heinz.

Most of the money is believed to have been used to buy properties in Brooklyn and Chelsea for Baturina, as well as shares in commercial office buildings across the country.&lt;/i&gt;

That is so crazy!   How does “new evidence” emerge after all this time has passed?  Trump’s people had the hard drives since mid-2019 and they have just now bothered to release it!?!  Rudy did not think that this type of info might have helped Donald get Re-elected???    Maybe it’s Trump’s own incompetence that lost him the election if they have been sitting on this info the whole time!

 But let’s ignore the glaring problem with this story and see what this “new evidence” supposedly says!   Oh my!   Hunter Biden is being accused of money laundering for foreign criminal factions using real estate purchases to funnel the money into the system.  You know…the exact thing that a counterintelligence investigation into Trump has been looking at for years!    Trump just cannot resist going back to his tired attempts to deflect probable future charges he’s going to be facing!</description>

I won&#039;t be here for any more of that nonsense. It&#039;s time for a real break from here. You, of all people, can understand that. It&#039;s hard to do and, perhaps, impossible. But, when comments start offending and creeping out the ones you most respect, then that is a sure fire sign that time is up. I don&#039;t have to be hit over the head with a two-by-four, in other words. Well, maybe I do ... :)</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;B&gt;The White House can’t just wash away the stink of Hunter Biden’s laptop&lt;/B&gt;

An exclusive Rasmussen poll obtained by The Post shows a staggering 65% of voters believe it is “likely” that Joe Biden was involved in — and may have profited from — his son Hunter’s overseas business deals; 48% say it is “very likely.” More on that poll later.

The fallout for the White House is only likely to get worse. There is a limit to what Democratic spin merchants, CIA liars and false allegations of “Russian collusion” can do to bury&lt;/blockquote&gt;
https://nypost.com/2022/03/23/the-white-house-cant-just-wash-away-the-stink-of-hunter-bidens-laptop/

Do ya&#039;all HONESTLY believe that, once the GOP takes control of Congress that there won&#039;t be HUGE investigations into Hunter Biden&#039;s laptop??

House Committees are going to crawl up Hunter Biden&#039;s arse with a microscope...

It&#039;s going to be MUCH more fun and MUCH more revealing than that lame 6 Jan Committee that is nothing more than a wet blanket.. :D

&lt;blockquote&gt;And, as a grand jury in Delaware moves closer to potentially indicting Hunter, 52, over alleged tax evasion, money laundering and violations of the Foreign Agents Registration Act, pressure is mounting on the president finally to explain his role in the international influence-peddling scheme run by his son and his brother Jim Biden while he was vice president.


The laptop, along with evidence provided by Hunter’s former business partner Tony Bobulinski, and Treasury documents provided to a Senate inquiry, reveal millions of dollars flowing to the Biden family and associates from dubious foreign sources, including three flashpoint countries vital to US national security: Russia, Ukraine and China.

Evidence also exists showing that Joe Biden financially benefited from his then-drug-addicted son’s overseas business dealings — perhaps by several million dollars.

White House press secretary Jen Psaki played dumb last week and refused to answer questions from The Post’s Steven Nelson about how the president is navigating conflicts of interest during the Ukraine-Russia war when it comes to sanctioning people who have done business with his family.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

This oughta be worth at LEAST 4 or 5 impeachments of Joe Biden, eh?? :D


&lt;Blockquote&gt;Specifically, Nelson asked about Russian oligarch Yelena Baturina, who has not been sanctioned, but who allegedly wired $3.5 million on Feb. 14, 2014, to a firm associated with Hunter’s former business partner Devon Archer. That wire was flagged in a suspicious activity report provided by the Treasury Department to a Senate Republican inquiry, chaired by Sens. Chuck Grassley and Ron Johnson.

Now, new evidence has emerged via the laptop showing that Baturina wired as much as $118 million to various offshoots of Rosemont Seneca Partners, the consulting firm co-founded by Hunter, Archer and John Kerry’s stepson, Chris Heinz.

Most of the money is believed to have been used to buy properties in Brooklyn and Chelsea for Baturina, as well as shares in commercial office buildings across the country.

Baturina, the wife of the former corrupt mayor of Moscow, Yury Luzhkov, was living in exile in London at the time after her husband fell out with the Kremlin. Perhaps this is why she has not been sanctioned by the Biden administration, although Vladimir Putin was photographed sitting beside her and hugging her at her husband’s 2019 funeral in Moscow.

Biden, as vice president, met Baturina on April 16, 2015, at a small dinner organized by Hunter in a private room of the Georgetown restaurant Café Milano. Also on the guest list were Hunter’s Ukrainian paymaster, Vadym Pozharskyi, and Kazakhstan’s then-Prime Minister Karim Massimov, now in jail for treason, and his associate, oligarch Kenes Rakishev.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

So Biden has a personal relationship with Baturina, Joe Biden&#039;s son Hunter obtained hundreds of millions of dollars from Baturina and Baturina was NOT amongst the oligarchs who the US has sanctioned..

Do I need to draw ya&#039;all a picture???

&lt;blockquote&gt;VP Biden later admitted, in a speech at the Council on Foreign Relations, that he had forced Poroshenko to fire Shokin by threatening to withhold $1 billion in US aid for Ukraine.

Biden claimed that Shokin was corrupt. Shokin, in turn, claimed that he was pressured to resign because he was pursuing Hunter’s boss, Zlochevsky, for corruption.

In a 2019 interview with Ukrainian publication Strana, Shokin claimed he had been planning “to interrogate [Hunter] Biden Jr.” before he was fired. This is just one of dozens of concerning stories that emerge from any honest interrogation of Hunter’s laptop.

The president may have plausible explanations for what looks like extensive corruption during his vice presidency. But so far, he and his defenders have just tried to shoot the messenger. That tactic is not working, because the American people are rapidly getting up to speed on the laptop scandal. 

The Rasmussen poll, conducted Monday and Tuesday nights, shows that more than two-thirds of voters have been “closely” following news reports about Hunter. Almost half think the story is “very important” and another 18% say it is “somewhat important.”

But the most politically lethal poll question found that 48% of voters believe that Joe Biden likely would not have been elected president “if the media had fully reported the story about Hunter Biden’s laptop before the 2020 election.” That compares to 45% who still think it is likely he would have been elected.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

You can bet that, come Jan 2023, ALL of the facts of the Hunter Biden  laptop and Joe Biden&#039;s massive corruption will come out..  :D

Won&#039;t that be FUN!!??</description>

<p>Biden claimed that Shokin was corrupt. Shokin, in turn, claimed that he was pressured to resign because he was pursuing Hunter’s boss, Zlochevsky, for corruption.</p>
<p>In a 2019 interview with Ukrainian publication Strana, Shokin claimed he had been planning “to interrogate [Hunter] Biden Jr.” before he was fired. This is just one of dozens of concerning stories that emerge from any honest interrogation of Hunter’s laptop.</p>
<p>The president may have plausible explanations for what looks like extensive corruption during his vice presidency. But so far, he and his defenders have just tried to shoot the messenger. That tactic is not working, because the American people are rapidly getting up to speed on the laptop scandal. </p>
<p>The Rasmussen poll, conducted Monday and Tuesday nights, shows that more than two-thirds of voters have been “closely” following news reports about Hunter. Almost half think the story is “very important” and another 18% say it is “somewhat important.”</p>
<p>But the most politically lethal poll question found that 48% of voters believe that Joe Biden likely would not have been elected president “if the media had fully reported the story about Hunter Biden’s laptop before the 2020 election.” That compares to 45% who still think it is likely he would have been elected.</p></blockquote>
<p>You can bet that, come Jan 2023, ALL of the facts of the Hunter Biden  laptop and Joe Biden's massive corruption will come out..  :D</p>
<p>Won't that be FUN!!??</p>

		<description>Do you want to know how completely and utterly WHACKED the Democrat Party has gotten??

&lt;B&gt;Have you heard about Aperture 2025?

It may sound like a Roland Emmerich sci-fi movie, but it’s actually more frightening. And much more controversial. It’s the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences’s latest initiative to make Hollywood more equitable and diverse—more woke—by changing the rules by which films are eligible for Best Picture nominations. Here’s how it works: Starting in 2024, producers will be required to submit a summation of the race, gender, sexual orientation, and disability status of members of their movie’s cast and crew. If a particular movie does not have enough people of color or disabled people or gays or lesbians working on the set—and what is “enough” will be determined by a knotty tangle of byzantine formularies—then that movie will no longer be eligible for an Oscar.&lt;/B&gt;
https://www.lamag.com/culturefiles/are-the-oscars-over-2/

Like Joe Biden and his selection process of considering RACE and GENDER before ANY OTHER QUALIFICATION.....

The Oscars have gone racist..

Ignoring ANY qualification of quality of the movie or the acting in the movie...  The FIRST qualification of ANY possible movie MUST BE.....  

You guessed it..  Race/gender/blaa blaa blaaa blaaa....

Like with Biden and his racist selection process.....

NOTHING MATTERS except race/gender/blaa blaa blaaa...

Once THOSE parameters are addressed...  THEN we get to things like quality etc etc etc...

I will be SOOOOO happy...  ECSTATIC when this Democrat Party is out of power...

They are doing SOOO much damage to this country...

What the Oscars are doing is simply INDEFENSIBLE...

But I am sure ya&#039;all will defend it anyways..  :D   Just like ya&#039;all defended Biden&#039;s blatant racist and sexist nominating process...</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;Talking Point #2: You forgot to mention that the party of getting things done has not released its agenda. So far, their official stance appears to be, &quot;Trust us, we get things done, so we&#039;ll do something good.&quot;&lt;/I&gt;

Past is prologue..


Let&#039;s see what happened under President Trump..

&lt;Blockquote&gt;
Under President Trump, the lowest unemployment in over 5 decades...

Under President Trump the lowest black American unemployment EVER..

Under President Trump, the lowest hispanic American unemployment EVER..

Under President Trump the biggest criminal justice reform to help black Americans EVER...

Under President Trump, the biggest overhaul of native American assistance EVER...

Building the strongest U.S. economy in my lifetime through historic business and personal tax cuts, resulting in millions of jobs created and record-low unemployment

Cutting federal government regulations that had a stranglehold on American business innovators and entrepreneurs

Confronting China’s trade abuses and negotiating fair trade deals with Canada, Mexico, South Korea, and Japan

Eliminating the Obamacare individual mandate

Rebuilding our military through investments in our defense capabilities as well as securing the largest military pay raise in a decade

Nominating and confirming more solid conservative circuit court judges than any other first-term administration

Nominating and fighting for the confirmation of two originalists, Justices Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh, to the Supreme Court and then nominating Amy Coney Barrett to fill the vacancy left by the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg

Moving the U.S. Embassy in Israel to Jerusalem and then brokering the Abraham Accords peace deal between Israel, the United Arab Emirates, and Bahrain

Consistently fighting Democrats to build the wall to secure our southern border, reinforcing and repairing hundreds of miles, with more construction on the way&lt;/Blockquote&gt;

Now, lets see what has happened under Biden..

&lt;blockquote&gt;Most embarrassing military withdrawal since America tucked tail and ran from Vietnam

Getting 13 brave American troops killed by sheer incompetence

Allowed Russia to invade Ukraine

PAID a very good portion of Putin&#039;s Ukraine War Machine

Approved Putin&#039;s Nord Stream 2 pipeline that ALSO paid into Putin&#039;s war on Ukraine

Failed to push thru the Build Back Broke legislation

Failed to push thru ANY voting legislation&lt;/Blockquote&gt;

And I am sure there are tons of other failures I neglected to mention..

So, andygaus...  Considering all of these FACTS....

Who would ANY reasonable and rational patriotic American want leading America...

The answer is self-evident...</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;We must admit we haven&#039;t checked the rules, but we would strongly urge Lindquist to stay on the ballot, even if he is still away fighting on Election Day. Absentee candidates almost never win elections as a general rule, but being absent for such an extraordinary reason might just be looked on favorably by voters in a conservative district, who knows?&lt;/i&gt;

I would very proudly vote for him, in a heartbeat!</description>

		<description>Thanks for highlighting Secretary Albright&#039;s last opinion piece in the NYTimes last month which I missed completely.

She was spot on in saying, &quot;Should he invade, it will be a historic error.&quot;

Absolutely. And, a mistake Putin will be paying the price for throughout the rest of his life, in one way or another.

She said, &quot;[Putin] is sure that Americans mirror both his cynicism and his lust for power and that in a world where everyone lies, he is under no obligation to tell the truth. Because he believes that the United States dominates its own region by force, he thinks Russia has the same right.&quot;

Indeed. Putin = Trump. Classic projection ... I&#039;m hearing a PRiSM tune coming on ... :)

I will miss Madeleine Albright, RIP, and her insightful assessments.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt; ...the Russian invasion of Ukraine entered its second month, and President Joe Biden continues to show how effective an American president can be when he shows real leadership to our European allies and the rest of the world. A big goal of Vladimir Putin all along was to weaken (if not destroy) the NATO alliance, a project he was happy to leave to Donald Trump but had to undertake himself with Biden in the White House. And Biden is right when he states that NATO is stronger and more united than ever as a direct result.&lt;/i&gt;

Ah, the wonderful law of unintended consequences. I love it!

And, I think this is just the beginning of how unbelievably misguided Putin&#039;s &#039;assessments&#039; have been and that goes double, with any luck, for the very long term negative consequences his actions might have on his control of Russia and on Russia itself. 

Of course, that last bit will depend on how the US and NATO lead on the way out of this crisis. I can only hope and pray that it will be a more effective kind of global leadership than they collectively brought to bear on the front end of this tragic ordeal for Ukraine.</description>
