Biden releases new campaign logo: Briben 2024
OK ! Not the BB, but it would be a realistic campaign slogan that could not be argued with.

Trail Cam catches Penn State Univ Prof in canine love interlude
[Gateway] Themis Matsoukas, a 64-year-old professor of chemical engineering at Penn State University, has found himself in the eye of a storm following a series of disturbing allegations.

Matsoukas, a ’highly respected’ engineering professor, displayed signs of panic when Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR) officials arrived at his home to execute a search warrant earlier this month.

During the encounter, the professor made a desperate statement to the rangers. "I’m done, I’m dead, you don’t understand, I do it to blow off steam," Matsoukas was quoted as saying in an affidavit referenced by WTAJ news outlet.
also: "My dog's name is Steam"
His distress escalated to the point where he implored the authorities to shoot him. "What do I have to do to get you to shoot me? I need to die," Matsoukas pleaded.

This move came after allegations surfaced that he was caught on a trail camera engaging in sexual acts with his dog in a parking lot near Rothrock State Forest in Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania.

If there is a second Biden term, we will surely have some type of White House lawn celebration of the newly revealed plus crowd: Billy and his badger Bob, Phylis and her well-hung poodle Champ. Officiating and condemning our condemnation will be Brandon and Major. Then the brimstone rain will begin.

-Great Cultural Revolution
Ron DeSantis Calls Gavin Newsom to run for President
[PJMedia] Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-Calif.) might be Patient Zero for a new condition: DeSantis Derangement Syndrome. Newsom is in many ways the Bizarro DeSantis — governing a state with an enviable climate and incredible natural beauty. And just as DeSantis is fighting many of his state’s political wars from the right side of the aisle, Newsom hits from the opposite side.

While Newsom has aimed his arrows at other red states — with billboards hyping the "freedom" of California as well as the state’s abortion tourism industry — he particularly loves to go after DeSantis and Florida. He even bought ad time on television in the Sunshine State encouraging Floridians to move West to experience life the Newsom way.

Then the money quote

"But what I would tell him is, ’You know what, stop pussyfooting around. Are you going to throw your hat in the ring and challenge Joe? Are you going to get in and do it or are you just going to sit on the sidelines and chirp? So why don’t you throw your hat in the ring? And then we’ll go ahead and talk about what’s happening.'"

#1  DeSantis does have a way with words.
Posted by: Abu Uluque || 06/16/2023 12:10 Comments || Top||

#2  The only people DeSantis has to debate are other GOP primary opponents. The only way he would have to debate Gov. Brylcreem is if they are their respective parties' nominees.

That would imply each of them has knocked off Trump and Bidet respectively in their primaries.
Posted by: M. Murcek || 06/16/2023 12:26 Comments || Top||

#3  Are some candidates pre-selected?
How much choice do we have?
Bernie Bros would say none.
Does DeSantis know something?

Newsom is a horrible candidate. But if he runs against DeSantis, uniparty synergy, DeSantis will make Newsom look the more palatable of the two candidates.

#4  #3 seems so. Two years for hip replacement. Doctor limited to only two days for orthopedic surgeries. Many retiring. If you need medical equipment no problems. Go to ER and your in the system and can get help quickly. Wait times can be hours after check in. Hospitals all differ. Areas may differ. I should add your primary most likely will be a PA nurse. I know from experience major problem is payments thru insurance like Humana being so poor.

Government Corruption
Joe Biden snaps at Post reporter when asked about 'big guy' reference: 'Why do you ask such a dumb question?'
[NYPOST] President Biden lashed out Thursday when asked why he’s called the "big guy" in an FBI informant file accusing him of accepting a $5 million bribe from a Ukrainian businessman while vice president.

"Why did the Ukraine FBI informant file refer to you as the ’big guy’, President Biden? Why is that term continuously applied?" The Post asked Biden at an event focused on reducing corporate junk fees.

"Why do you ask such a dumb question?" the 80-year-old president snapped.

An informant told the FBI in June 2020 that an executive at Ukrainian gas company Burisma confided that he bribed Joe and Hunter Biden and called the elder Biden the "big guy," according to congressional sources who read the file.

Republicans say the nickname’s use is significant because it was not publicly known at the time. Nearly four months later, The Post reported in October 2020 that an email from first son Hunter Biden’s abandoned laptop said the "big guy" was due 10% in a business deal with CEFC China Energy.

Hunter Biden associate Devon Archer in talks to dish about alleged $10 million bribe from Ukraine
[NYPOST] Former Hunter Biden business partner Devon Archer is in talks with the House Oversight Committee to testify about his knowledge of the first family’s business dealings in countries including Russia and Ukraine.

Archer, a since-convicted felon, was a central figure in the dealings of President Biden’s family while he was vice president and seems receptive to speaking with committee staff about what he knows, a source told The Post.

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) on Monday issued a subpoena for Archer to appear Friday for a deposition, but he will instead be allowed to negotiate a later appearance.

"We are in contact with his attorney to schedule it for another date," a committee aide said.

An attorney for Archer did not immediately respond to The Post’s request for comment.

The White House and Hunter Biden’s legal team also did not immediately respond.

Archer’s one-year prison sentence for defrauding an American Indian tribe was upheld last week by an appeals court. The Biden family was not involved in that scheme.

Good to aim really high I guess when walking without falling is a big achievement
Nursing home missing someone?
