https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/04/12/now-warning-about-hunter-biden-laptop-disinfo-guy-who-leaked-it/

Great article, but here are the questions that no one seems to have the answers for — and that no one has bothered to even ask for some reason.

Was Hunter Biden the man who dropped off the laptop and harddrive to the repair shop in Delaware?

Did Hunter Biden give the repair shop his correct contact info and did he sign the authorization form giving the shop permission to view his files contained on the hardware?

Hunter Biden just happened to travel cross country from Los Angeles, CA (where Biden had moved more than a year earlier) to Wilmington, Delaware to drop off 3 laptops with a hardcore Trump supporter who just happened to be legally blind?

From the Beast article below:

Mac Isaac said he had a medical condition that prevented him from actually seeing who dropped off the laptop but that he believed it to be Hunter Biden’s because of a sticker related to the Beau Biden Foundation that was on it.

There is a good reason that none of the more reputable news agencies ran with this story… this was it! No one can say with any certainty that Hunter Biden was the man who dropped off these laptops to be repaired. Hunter Biden is a private citizen. Even if the data on the laptops are authenticated as being from Hunter Biden’s Apple account, that does not mean that it wasn’t stolen! Which is exactly why all of the other news organizations (including FoxNews, NewsMax, & OAN) refused to run it. They could not verify that it wasn’t stolen property!

In an interview on FoxNews, Mr. Mac Issac complained that it was tough to be a “whistleblower” when you are a conservative — noting that he had contacted multiple members of Congress during Trump’s first impeachment trial concerning the evidence he had against Hunter Biden but they all ignored him! I guess he meant “dog-whistleblower” seeing how Hunter was not a government employee.

There was never a reason for Mac Issac to have looked through the content of the files on these laptops. System files are responsible for starting and operating the laptop. Photos and PDF files do not play any role in operating a Mac laptop.

Delaware law says Mr. Mac Issac could not claim ownership of the laptop until one year after it had been abandoned. The “abandonment” one year clock did not even start until after the repairs were finished and Biden failed to respond to the calls notifying him that it was ready. Yet Mac Issac had sent out copies of the hard drives within months of receiving them. He had no legal right to show anyone the data. Why the Times and WAPO have chosen to ignore this minor legal problem is beyond me.

I know, it drives me nuts how all these Repug geniuses think they're be all PATRIOTIC while following Cheetogod aka #PutinsBitch aka #UsefulIdiot aka Trump.

Or maybe read the article?

Doesn't sound like "grooming" to me...

If you don't toe the hysterical Democrat Groomer Party line, yer a "bitter old trans"...

Yes, comrade. Toting that Putin party line? Are your handlers proud? You do know Morgan Artyukhina works for Sputnik news?

This is ALL Democrats.... Democrats OWN Biden-flation...

Transgender activist Morgan Artyukhina, however, blasted The Post for publishing the piece while calling Cohn "a bitter older trans woman."

"WaPo bravely publishes another op-ed by a bitter older trans woman taking the side of far-right bigots banning affirming healthcare for trans youth, comparing it to ‘fad diets’... ‘Democracy Dies in Darkness’ but trans kids die on the [Post Opinions] page," Artyukhina wrote.

Get that??

If you don't toe the hysterical Democrat Groomer Party line, yer a "bitter old trans"...

You are one thousand percent WRONG about that.

Impertinent spewage is impertinent spewage, no matter how you slice it!

Well, find a way!

Let's be factual here, eh?

You don't like the facts because they show the incompetence of Biden and the Democrats..

If I put up a spewage of PRO Biden and PRO Democrat ya'all would LOVE it and I would be the toast of Weigantia.. :D

I get it though.. Being the guy with the facts does not breed popularity..

It's a rough life, but I am willing to do it for ya'all... So ya'all can be better informed..

Yer welcome.. :D

I think we are all tired of your random facts that don't stick to the subject at hand of the headline columns.

What do you think this place is anyways? Your own private shit fest!?

Well, it ain't, so put an end to it already.

Nolte: Why the Media’s Moral Panic Around Ukraine Failed to Reboot Biden’s Presidency

The moment Russia invaded Ukraine, the White House, Democrats, and the corporate media saw an opportunity to gaslight the American people into a reboot of His Fraudulency Joe Biden’s presidency.

This campaign has {failed} utterly and entirely.

As he continues to hit record lows, the polling for Biden looks as awful as it did pre-Ukraine. What’s more, the polling for Republican chances of romping all over Democrats in the 2022 midterms looks as good as ever. Ukraine has done nothing to alter anyone’s perception of Biden as anything other than a failure. In fact, on the specific issue of Ukraine, Biden’s poll numbers are underwater.
https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2022/04/11/nolte-why-medias-moral-panic-ukraine-failed-reboot-bidens-presidency/

Everything Biden and the Democrats touch turns to shit...

Biden would do SO much better if he actually went after the criminals that USE the guns...

But that would mean going after Demcrats' biggest constituency...

Criminals...

And, of course, Biden can't do that!!

Oh, well. 16, maybe 17, unreadable posts in a row.

Would you like some cheese to go with yer whine?? :D

If you find FACTS "unreadable" it's no wonder yer a democrat! :D

I get it.. For Democrats, ignorance is bliss...

And it shows from the way Democrats govern...

Have a happy.. :D

Biden, Democrats face a growing political headache as immigration clash intensifies

Liberals are unhappy, Republicans are weaponizing the issue and a dispute over a Trump-era border policy has caused some Democrats to split with the president.
https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/white-house/biden-democrats-face-growing-political-headache-immigration-clash-inte-rcna23505

Biden's decision to open the border to COVID infected illegals has accomplished something I would not have thought possible..

Biden is actually making it WORSE for Democrats in November.. :D

Keep on keepin' on, Biden!!! :D

The COVID debate is over: New York was wrong, Florida was right

The lockdowns were a mistake to begin with

The numbers are in. As if there was much doubt about it, a new study has revealed that some of our nation’s bluest big states underperformed on COVID response compared to ruby red Florida and others. The number crunching which combined deaths, economic harm, and educational impact, was done by the Committee to Unleash Prosperity, and it's a doozy.

At the very bottom of the list of states, to the surprise of absolutely nobody who was paying attention, are New York and New Jersey. The Empire State’s handsy disgraced and former governor Andrew Cuomo was heralded as the leader the world needed on COVID just two years ago.

Once again.. The FACTS tell the story...

Democrat COVID policies did more harm than good..

Democrats have emotionally scarred an entire generation of children..

Democrats have destroyed entire economies and businesses...

It's no wonder that Democrats are going to get their arses handed to them in 2022 and 2024...

BLM defends multi-million dollar mansion purchase in lengthy Twitter thread

The activist group has recently came under fire for its financial spending
https://www.foxnews.com/media/blm-defends-multi-million-dollar-mansion-purchase-lengthy-twitter-thread

Why don't Democrats investigate BLM for all it's fraud and violence and terrorism??

Because Democrats don't really mind fraud and violence and terrorism.. As long as it's THEIR fraud and THEIR violence and THEIR terrorism.. :^/

Speculation has focused on the possibility that Musk’s new stake could give him influence over the company’s approach to censorship. “What could possibly go wrong with an oligarch determining what constitutes free speech?” asked Robert Reich. “Musk’s appointment to Twitter’s board shows that we need regulation of social-media platforms to prevent rich people from controlling our channels of communication,” Ellen Pao argued in the Washington Post. A Bloomberg columnist warned that Musk’s investment was “worrisome,” to have “a free speech absolutist who isn’t absolutely in favor of free speech at the helm of – or even close to – a media company.”

Yet these words of warning presume that social media companies are not already oligarchies headed by billionaires that wield absolute power over which people and views are permitted within their walled gardens. The decision to ban Trump from Twitter was made not by a blue-ribbon panel of global speech experts but by Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey, who decided on his own that Trump must be removed from the platform. Similarly, it was Mark Zuckerberg, rather than Facebook’s vaunted Oversight Board, who ruled that Trump could not remain on his platform. As NBC News put it at the time, “with a few unilateral decisions, a small group of tech executives deprived the president of the United States of his most influential broadcasting tools.”

The hypocrisy of Democrats shine thru..

Ya'all don't MIND that rich oligarchs pass judgment on who can say what...

Ya'all just want to make sure that your rich oligarchs allow YOUR speech and disallow speech ya'all DISAGREE with...

Hypocrisy.. It's not a bug in Democrat Programming. It's a feature..

ALWAYS a happy subject.. :D

Will Musk Lead Twitter Back To Its Free Speech Roots?

What might Elon Musk’s new 9.2% stake in Twitter mean for its future and for the broader social media landscape? Could Musk lead Twitter to relax its content-moderation policies or even restore the accounts of those famously banned from the platform – one in particular? Alternatively, will tech platforms turn to government to entrench their speech policies in response?

Twitter once touted itself as “the free speech wing of the free speech party” and famously refused Congress’s request to remove Islamic State propaganda from its platform, arguing that even terrorists must be permitted “to share freely their views.” From these early roots, Twitter has tacked aggressively in the opposite direction, pivoting toward “healthy conversations” and quietly revising its rules to enforce ever-greater restrictions on acceptable expression.

Twitter must free all political prisoners...

Geee, Disney... It would be a shame if something happened to those tax breaks, eh??

Mind yer business, Disney... Entertain people.. Stay out of politics that you obviously are clueless about.. If yer vocal micro-minority of loudmouths don't like it?? Tell them to hit the pavement...

Exclusive: Republicans Threaten to Let Disney’s Mickey Mouse Copyright Lapse over ‘Radical Political Activism’

The Walt Disney Company — already in hot water with Florida’s Republican Party — may have also put itself in a precarious position with Republicans on Capitol Hill by taking a vocal stand against the Sunshine State’s recently passed Parental Rights in Education Bill.

Disney’s copyright on its signature Steamboat Willie Mickey Mouse — from the 1928 short film of the same name — is set to expire on January 1, 2024, though later depictions of Mickey will remain protected by separate copyrights (e.g. Sorcerer Mickey, as depicted in 1940’s Fantasia). In the past, both the company and legislature have sprung into action to keep the depiction out of the public domain. This time, it might be more difficult to secure such an extension.

Disney wants to involve themselves in Anti-America politics??

Fine.. Disney reaps what Disney sows....

The Majority of Americans support FL Parental Rights Law...

The Majority of Disney employees support FL Parental Rights Law..

It's time companies told their vocal micro-minorities to shut the frak up and just do their jobs.. They don't like company policy?? They can go find other work...

Democrats cannot simply offer unfulfilled promises to a large and growing bloc that delivers the party double-digit margins in most elections and expect them to stay in line. The fact that the blame for this inaction lies mostly with senators Manchin and Sinema is not going to do much for the rest of the party on election day because most people do not pay close enough attention to politics to make that distinction. These voters may have unrealistic expectations of what the political system can deliver, but they are owed more than this.

Here's the problem for you Democrats..

You promise all sorts of goodies to progressives, goodies that are anti-America and that the American people hate and then you don't deliver..

And THEN Democrats wonder why they get such crappy turnout?? :D

The GOP is going to rake Democrats over the coals in 2022 and then body-slam the Democrats in 2024... :D

And life in America will be awesome once again.. :D

The Senate is currently split 50-50, and to get to 60, Republicans would have to net 10 pickups in the upper chamber over the next two cycles. It sounds like a heavy lift until you remember that Republicans picked up nine seats in 2014 alone, and the increasing rural-urban divide between the parties gives the GOP an increasing advantage in the Senate. Here's how it could happen.

Democrats are in for a WORLD of hurt...

When things go good for the country?? They go bad for Democrats..

The President Trump years PROVED that beyond ANY doubt.. :D

The February reading showed the benchmark index rose 7.9% over the last 12 months, the highest level since 1982.
https://www.cnbc.com/2022/04/11/inflation-data-white-house-expects-big-price-hikes-in-march-cpi-report.html

Like I said....

Inflation is going to get a LOT worse before it gets better..

These are the FACTS that even Biden's White House is acknowledging...

So, for those who claim I never have any facts??

I have proven ya'all wrong.. With FACTS! :D

Texas claims a win after Gov. Abbott pledged to bus illegals to Washington

State says feds stopped dropping illegal immigrants off into towns following threat to bus them to DC
https://www.foxnews.com/us/texas-gov-greg-abbott-title-42-rescinded-bus-migrants-washington-dc

Same thing happened in FL when Gov DeSantis told Biden he would ship illegal immigrants to DEM cities..

All of the sudden, dropping illegals off in GOP states stopped.. :D

Biden got no scrot!! :D

Considering what's happening in the Ukraine in the here and now, the comparisons are FAR from "asinine"...

And while you are correct, this isn't the 1930s..

History DOESN'T repeat itself.. But it DOES rhyme with itself..

And what we're seeing now in Ukraine is very VERY close to what Europe saw in the early 40s...

Except the Ukraine President is jewish.. Kinda kills the systemic neo-nazi theory, eh?? :D

Corruption and institutionalized racism where sufficient causes not to admit Ukraine..

But those would likely have been second fiddle to the security concerns of NATO and the US...

An expansionist NATO is NOT a threat to ANY of it's neighbors..

One cannot, obviously, say the same thing about Russia..

Yea, fine.. Prosecute 'em... Create a House Committee..

But ya'all know.. and *I* know ya'all know...

That you don't have ANY facts to support ANY semblance of a criminal investigation..

So ya'all are just indulging in lame and fact-less whataboutism..

Which simply indicates the lever of desperation ya'all are at.. :D

In NYC masks are optional now, but most of us are still wearing them.

Except for kids under 5.. Kids under 5 are still REQUIRED to wear masks..

Which is completely asinine and against the actual science..

Why not? It's totally a done deal now that Putin invaded, but if he hadn't invaded why do you say this?

Seriously?

I have three words for you: corruption and neo-nazis.

Look it all up for yourself. I'm not here to educate. I'm here to have intelligent conversation with people who what's what.

I agree, why shouldn't the Mommy Party go after Javanka? Perhaps it's because they're the Mommy Party?

Okay Liz,

Here's my reply to your Lizsplaining Ukraine:

Why should Putin/Russia still being butthurt over the fall of the USSR negate the wishes of the Ukrainian people?

For thirty years, Russia has declared that Ukraine is a red line for them in terms of NATO expansion. Why would NATO wish to welcome Ukraine into the fold and have NATO forces just hundreds of miles from Moscow?

For the same reason that NATO expanded into Poland and the Baltic states. To contain Russian expansionism (hello?) and to include their economies in the European block.

Ukraine, in a move that helped to seal its current fate, enshrined in its constitution an aspirational intent to become a NATO member and all that is entailed with entering into such a security arrangement.

And you know when they did that? In 2019, five years after Russia annexed Crimea and invaded Donbass. Five years after the three nuclear powers that guaranteed Ukrainian territorial integrity (Russia, the UK and America/Budapest Memorandum, 1994) didn't protect Ukraine as promised in exchange for giving up her nukes.

Public opinion in Ukraine was split on joining NATO…before 2014. Can you blame them?

...never mind the fact that NATO also has the right to choose its members and there was no logical reason nor realistic chance that Ukraine would ever actually be admitted.

Why not? It's totally a done deal now that Putin invaded, but if he hadn't invaded why do you say this?

More to the point, are you aware that 92% of Ukrainians voted to be independent of Moscow back in 1991? That the Orange Revolution '04 and Maidan '14 were popular revolts against Moscow trying to impose its will on Ukraine?

If you're against Ukrainians having the same rights to self rule as we enjoy, you could just come out and say it. Because that's what you're saying, in effect.

Oh, and do you think Poland and the Baltics weren't next on Putin's list? They thought giving Hitler chunks of little countries would mean "peace in our time," too.

So, could you be more plain? Why, exactly, are the Democrats unable, unwilling, or unlikely to follow up on the Kushners, when they can, but the Republicans are not at all similarly hampered in their expectations when their turn comes back around?

You say that it's all about how it's now clear that such investigations are just political ploys. No. It's not suddenly, just now, clear that these things are political. That's been clear to everybody who follows inside politics for about a dozen decades by now. The Kushners are not ground-breakers in bringing hypocrisy and political grandstanding to the public eye. As far as I can tell, the public eye doesn't even notice these things - only the eye of the inside fans, like (I presume) the readers of this politics-watching blog, etc.

Why, exactly, shouldn't the Dems go after Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump, to the degree that the couple may have misappropriated the public trust, abused their offices, or even (maybe) broken a few laws? Because Hunter Biden may have done so as well? So what. Let the Republicans have Hunter as their chew toy - it's a few years in the future. Now is the Dem's turn, and they should be jumping at the chance. No? Can you explain more clearly why not?
