[Babylon Bee] WASHINGTON, D.C.—President Trump is attempting to get to the bottom of what's going on with Hunter Biden and Ukraine. In order to catch Hunter Biden and turn him over to the authorities, the president put out a box propped up by a stick tied to a rope. The box was labeled "Free Crack" and contained a large quantity of crack cocaine underneath.
"Any second now," Trump muttered to himself as he waited in a nearby bush. "Here, Hunter, Hunter, Hunter. Here, boy. That's it, nice and slow. Fantastic crack cocaine over here -- extremely pure stuff. The best crack cocaine, maybe ever!"
Growing impatient, Trump resorted to more drastic measures. "What's this over here on the lawn!?" he shouted. "Wow! That looks like crack cocaine to me! Looks like fantastic stuff! Sure would be a shame if someone were to come along and pick it up!"
Sure enough, after a few minutes, Trump saw rustling in a nearby bush. Biden fell for the trap and dove for the crack cocaine. "Got him!" cried Trump as he pulled the string. Unfortunately, Biden was too quick and managed to smoke all the crack and roll out from under the box before Trump could catch him.
Trump was last seen attempting to bait another trap labeled "Free Hookers."

^ I don't get it, Frank. I even did a search on it but couldn't find anything. Probably just as well as I'm running low on brain bleach.

[American Thinker] In another sign of Democrats acting as if maybe they aren't cruising to victory as polls claim, they're wheeling out former president Obama in a bid to put Biden over the top.
According to the New York Post:
Former President Barack Obama reportedly is poised to hit the campaign trail for Joe Biden, his former vice president, as the 2020 presidential race enters its crucial final stretch.
"President Obama plans to hit the trail soon, in addition to all the other activities he's undertaken all year in support of electing VP Biden — as he's said, we all have to do everything we can to win on November 3," an aide to Obama told ABC News.
That would be the same Obama who thus far has been absent from the campaign trail all these months, including even the past couple of weeks when Joe Biden has ventured out from his basement hideaway to zero crowds. Unlike Biden, Obama can draw a crowd, even if it's done with scrupulous social distancing, which is likely to be what they present for the fawning press cameras.
The guilt here is pretty obvious, too — note how that aide in the quote above made sure he slipped in that clause about "in addition to all the other activities he's undertaken all year in support of electing VP Joe Biden" as if Obama had done anything more than an occasional Zoom meeting. The Post continues:

What the Dems haven't realized is that it is about Charisma. Obama and Bill Clinton have it so their policy positions are ignored and people vote for the guy that makes them feel good.
Hillary and Biden have no Charisma. Zero. So they have to sell their policy positions which most Americans find horrific.
Trump on the other hand is Charisma and has policy positions most Americans agree with. The Dems have to lie and cheat and pull every trick just to not be laughed out of the election.

I wouldn't underestimate this. The Obamas are still immensely popular with black people I know.
One of the great things about the Trump presidency is peeling black voters away from the Democrats who shamelessly used and abused them for decades. But if anyone can bring them back, it's Obama.

Trotting out Soetoro didn't help Hillary four years ago and won't help Biden now.
Younger black men in particular have zero attraction to this corrupt old muppet. Trump may actually get 25% or more of their vote.

Champ will talk mostly about himself and pay marginal lip service to the Obama-Biden Legacy, but will he look energetic or smug and slightly loaded like the last time he did campaign promo with JoJo?
[GraniteGrok] Democrat Senator Kamala Harris (CA) could be in for an unwelcome campaign surprise if she faces a constitutional eligibility challenge to her bid for the presidency. Why? Article II, Section 1, Clause 5 of the Constitution decrees that "No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President." [Emphasis added].
While Senator Harris was born here, neither of her parents were American citizens at the time of her birth. Her father was a citizen of Jamaica, and her mother, a citizen of India. As discussed below, a patrilineal heritage is weighed heavily in determining the degree of citizenship required for anyone to become president.
While this issue has been discussed before, this article is not just another rehash of the basics of the debate over the meaning of "natural born Citizen," as so many have been. Nor is it an attack on Senator Harris’ political ideology. It is blind to partisanship. Instead, it’s an in-depth account based on extensive research that provides proven insights into what the phrase meant to the Framers, how it came to be included in the Constitution, and what prerequisites for presidential eligibility flow from it.

Blah, blah, blah.
SCOTUS, right or wrong, has 'interpreted' the 14th Amendment as including anyone born in the borders or territories of the US, not just the former slaves that it was intended to protect.

Now, anyone who brings this up will be labelled a "birther..."

Her mother a "citizen of India". That makes her Aryan, right? And that makes her....ummmm, uh, hmmmmm, a racist. And her father's forefathers involved in the slave trade....uh, hmmmmm. Let's throw their screwed up "a priori" logic back at 'em.
#7
SCOTUS should come up with a check-list of what birth combos are eligable.
One citizen parent but born in another country?
Two citizen parents but born in US Territory or US base on Foreign soil?
Non-Citizen parents but born in the USA.

It's interesting some of the most notorious dictators in history were not natural born citizens of the countries they came to rule. French dictator Napoleon was not French but Corsican. Soviet dictator Stalin was not Russian but Georgian. German dictator Hitler was not German but Austrian. These people all came to power during turbulent times using questionable methods. On and on it goes. IIRC Cleopatra was not really Egyptian but Greek, at least that's what the Romans said.

I might add that things don't usually turn out well for these types of people or for their countries.

French dictator Napoleon was not French but Corsican.
Corsica was part of the territory of Genoa. Genoa ceded the island to France. Those on the island at the time became French citizens.

Not Greek exactly, but Macedonian. The descendants of Ptolomy, one of Alexander the Great’s generals, the last of the dynasty and the the only one to speak Egyptian as well as Koine Greek.
Can't. Happen. Quickly. Enough...
[ZH] I don’t write much about the entertainment industry because, frankly, I see it as mostly irrelevant to the bigger picture. Geopolitics and economics are the great driving force in our society, and the elitist groups that influence these elements should be our primary focus. That said, I have to admit that pop culture is a pervasive element of American public psychology, or at least it was until recently, and for decades the masters of pop culture all reside in Hollywood.
I have been a film buff for at least 20 years and I understand the business; I was even a screenwriter at one point and obtained an agent, but after dealing with the slimy behavior of some of the Hollywood ilk I was immediately disenchanted and decided to walk away. What I realized at the time was that the entertainment world is designed for a very specific purpose: To steal the energies of talented people and exploit those energies to achieve the most meaningless or manipulative endeavors.
The people that manage and own production and distribution companies are for the most part talent-less; like most narcopaths they have no capacity to be creative. So, they must feed on the intelligence and imagination of normal people in order to fuel their business. If it stopped there, then maybe the system would actually work and there could be some symbiosis. Many artistic people don’t handle business very well, so someone has to.
But, production creatures want more than money, they also want to micromanage the message of every film, TV show, video game and product that is released. They want to inject their own ideologies into every release. They do this because, as narcopaths, they desperately want to feel creative power even if it means hijacking the projects of others. They also do it because they have an agenda to influence society to accept or reject certain ideas; they want to mold the politics and values of the public.

At one time Hollywood was owned by the rail roads, then by wealthy Jews, but it was sold to China and Japan. From there it rotted away. Farewell Hollywood, an industry of sex and corruption from the onset.

If you really want to get their attention, go back to the original period of copyright circa 1800, instead of the infinite period they bought from Congress.

Conservatives should have created an alternative long ago. Could have made a fortune on patriotic movies during the early days after 9/11 when the left was slowly turning pro-Islamist.

#10 yes, indeed. I have long wished for alternatives but what has been offered is soon corrupted. I went short wave back in the Vietnam days for example. Internet was nice for a while but now control freaks and trolls are all over the place.

Day of the Siege, though not a Hollywood flick.
Today's topic include a new book by Fred.
Even the conservative scripts which do make it, as the article points out, gets its pants taken down and bent over the pinball machine. There is enough material in Tolkein's Silmarillion to do two or three more prequel series, what they do is Game of Thrones: Middle Earth.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
