-Lurid Crime Tales-
Hunter Biden Caught Acting as a Foreign Agent – Email Shows He Discussed Breaking FARA Laws
[Republic Brief] Hunter Biden’s Laptop shows emails where he acted as a Foreign agent and discussed Breaking FARA laws but never registered himself as an agent, and that is illegal.

The Foreign Agents Registration Act is a United States law that imposes public disclosure obligations on persons representing foreign interests.

According to JustSecurity.com: "FARA was enacted in 1938 to combat Nazi and communist propaganda. While ostensibly a transparency statute, in actuality, the Act was used to stigmatize and mire in red tape German propaganda outlets, essentially shutting them down."

FARA was widely an unenforced law until President Donald J. Trump showed renewed interest in enforcing the laws.

Joe Hoft reported recently on how the family of Democrat Joe Biden, and Joe Biden himself have profiteered off of spreading foreign influence and were obviously unconcerned about what Trump’s law enforecement:

"The Biden crime family made millions in Ukraine performing nefarious and criminal activities including espionage. Today we have another report that reveal another crime," adding:

#1  Yawn. That's a concern only for the little people.

#2  Prediction.
Hunter is brought to trial and is found innocent due to chain of evidence issues.

OR
He is convicted and Daddy or _______ pardons him, on leaving office after losing the election.

#3  "Acting"....? Let's just simplify things. The worthless, cocaine addled sob was an espionage agent.

#4  Usually the FARA suits are more of a way to destroy a target financially. That would be impossible to do to an artist of Hunter’s caliber. This instance may be the exception to the rule due to Hunter’s raw stupidity of admitting via email to violating FARA. There are so many dodges to get out of being found guilty of a FARA violation that drafting a confession and electronically signing it is about the only way to be found guilty under the statute. If Hunter is Joe’s smartest acquaintance, all the people that Joe knows must be using Tide Pods for teabags. That said, I don’t think any Dem can be convicted of anything in DC unless he or she wears a MAGA hat to court.

#5  Exactly which laws did he violate? Those of a sovereign nation? LOL - yeah no. He violated no laws as those law cited no longer exist. In our current reality, the United States of America has been replaced by the United Nations of America. As such, no illegality here and no punishment following.

#6  "...all the people that Joe knows must be using Tide Pods for teabags."

That is a prime candidate for snark of the day and it's going in my insult phrase book, tier one!

#7  Mega dittos #6.Snark of the day fer sure.

But do remember that "None Dare Call it Treason".


Unless it's a 'pub.

-Great Cultural Revolution
‘Disability Culture' and the Allure of Victimhood
[Daily Bell] The "Oppression Olympics" — the victimization hierarchy in which more extreme victimhood equals higher social status — is an odd outgrowth of the wider helicopter-mom, "everybody-gets-a-trophy," "Nerf-the-world" culture that saturated everything circa the 90s. It proliferated from there under the guises of "tolerance" and "equity."

In the last few years, the unofficial Twitter-based Olympics commission introduced a new category of oppression: disability.

One might flippantly assume that nature or fate — a bad genetic role of the dice or an unfortunate accident — might be to blame for disability. But it’s actually "ablest" society, according to the "disability community."

Society, according to disability culture, is designed to weed out the disabled and exclude them from participation. The challenges that disabled people face aren’t due to their disabilities per se; they’re due to society’s failure to properly accommodate them.

A star is Born
[PowerLine] I can’t stop laughing at Taylor Sirianni’s imitation of her dad as Eagles coach Nick Sirianni held court after the NFC championship game yesterday. To entertain herself as the coach droned on, she performed a formidable Nick Sirianni impression. Something tells me a star is born.

Taylor could step right into the old Bob & Ray routine featuring the nonidentical twin band leaders Claude and Clyde — the McBeeBee Twins. I would like to request Taylor’s interpretation of dad’s response to a question asking how it felt when the 49ers ran out of quarterbacks.

Israel-Palestine-Jordan
What Muhammad Aliwat learned in school
Follow up to this story from a few days ago.
[IsraelTimes] Paleostinian curricula continue to glorify religious martyrdom and spread hatred even as educational reform is underway elsewhere in the Arab world.

Muhammad Aliwat,
...originally identified as Muhammad Aliyat from Silwan...
the 13-year-old Paleostinian attacker who ambushed and seriously maimed a father and his son at the entrance to the City of David Friday night, used his school notebook to leave a message for his mother that reads: "God, or victory, or martyrdom. Forgive me, mother, you’re going to be proud of me."

#1  We have left schools to evil people in almost every country. There will take at least 20 years to turn the ship in each country where substantial changes are made.
