[Federalist] A British man living in the United States who has recently begun a romantic relationship with his daughter’s ex-boyfriend bought a baby and is being praised by media for it. Barrie Drewitt-Barlow paid about $100,000 for his new daughter, Valentina Willow. He is most proud of the baby girl’s looks.
"Every parent thinks their baby is the best-looking baby in the world, but the truth is Valentina Willow is the best-looking baby in the world," Drewitt-Barlow said.
"We couldn’t be happier with the way she looks. In all fairness, we expected nothing else. After all, we scoured the planet for the best-looking egg donor we could find and $100,000 later (£77,000) we got the donor we wanted and the best-looking baby anyone could ever want."
Drewitt-Barlow, a 50-year-old multi-millionaire who made headlines in 1999 for becoming, along with his then-partner Tony, their nation’s first gay dads to be listed as the sole parents on their child’s birth certificate, has now paid an exorbitant sum for his new surrogate-born child. A legal battle ensued wherein they fought to become registered as the nation’s first same-sex parents. The pair went on to employ more women to carry babies for them.
Now, Drewitt-Barlow is at it again. His new beau, a 25-year-old who was his personal assistant as well as his daughter’s boyfriend, is his intended husband. The two decided to become fathers together, and this time, Drewitt-Barlow’s goals were quite clear. It was the resulting child’s looks that were prime in his mind.

Weren't liberals just in a huge lather about ACB's adopted kids? Well, she is married to a guy, after all, and there's that racial angle that gets libs' panties all damp. But weren't the allegations also about adoption irregularities (baby buying?)

[SUDANTRIBUNE] The rebel South Sudan United Army (SSUA) of Paul Malong reiterated its commitment to the ceasefire agreement renewed in Rome recently.SSUF response to SSOMA (ST photo)In meeting brokered by Sant’Egidio religious community held in Rome from 9to 12 October, the government and SSOMA faction under the leadership of Malong renewed their commitment to the cessation of hostilities agreement agreed earlier this year.
"The government strongly expressed that the security reforms cannot be made in the absence of Gen. Paul Malong Awan and Gen. Oyay Deng Ajak, both of whom were part and parcel of the liberation struggle," further said a statement issued on 14 October.
In a statement extended to Sudan Tribune on Friday, Maj. Gen. Khamis Silvano, the commander of the SSUA forces in the Upper Nile State Military Sector, affirmed their commitment to cease hostilities with the government.
"The parties, especially the government, must take advantage of this truce to achieve comprehensive peace to end the suffering of the people and to accelerate the formation of the national army," stressed Silvano.
"We in the SSUM/A under the leadership of General Malong seek to build a state of citizenship in which everyone has equal rights and duties," he added.
During the last week of September, SSOMA split into two groups, led by Thomas Cirilo and Malong who refused to include a call for a federal system granting large autonomy to the states in the charter of the alliance.
On the other hand, the head of the Real SPLM Pagan Amum refused to sign the charter to protest the suspension of SSUM.
The mediator, however, managed to hold two separate tracks for the two factions with the government delegation by Nhial Deng Nhial and Barnaba Marial Benjamin.

The most explosive news of the past few days was the 3 hard drives delivered to the United States Department of Justice by a top family or families of the Chinese Communist Party, according to Lu De, a faithful follower of Miles Guo’s Whistleblower Movement and host of one of the most-watched webcasts in Mandarin of the last three years.
Since the evening show on September 24th, for 5 days in a row, Lu De’s webcasts have focused almost exclusively on the content of the 3 hard drives that were secretly provided to the Department of Justice fairly recently.
Hunter Biden is in big trouble, much bigger than his Russian and Ukrainian scandals would cause. One of the hard drives contains information on Hunter Biden’s trip to China. It is known to the public that Hunter Biden flew to China on Air Force 2 with his father, Joe Biden. Joe Biden insisted that he was not aware of his son’s connection with the CCP companies. What Hunter did in China, the "dirty things", were recorded on video by the order of the CCP Public Security Bureau. On the "business" side, it is believed that Hunter got to know Li Xiangsheng, the former CEO of Bohai Industrial Investment Fund Management Co., Ltd., an affiliated company owned by the Vice Chairman of China, Wang Qishan. Afterward, Hunter arranged for his father to meet with Li Xiangsheng.
The contract that Hunter Biden signed with Xi and Wang, No. 1 and No. 2 of the CCP regime, secured 4.5 billion dollars of interest and benefits to him. Hunter did not disclose this contract to the U.S. government. Whether or not he disclosed it to his father, you can be the judge. The real question is: did Joe Biden disclose the existence of such a contract to the U.S. government? He absolutely did not. In Lu De’s webcast, Hunter received a million dollars prior to the signing, and 10 million at the time the contract was signed. The money was laundered through a prominent U.S. lawyer.
The details of the sex recordings will likely never be released to the public. The CCP routinely and secretly records sex acts between foreigners and women who are provided by the CCP. This is one of the most effective ways to blackmail foreigners, often politicians, and to get them to agree to do whatever the CCP wants them to do.

Why would China suddenly turn on their preferred tool? The former vice president would restore the status quo ante, whereas four more years of Donald Trump will see them well on their way to financial — and therefore political — collapse.

I'm sure they'll be given the same attention as Hillary's server and Hunter Biden's laptop. They'll have top men on it, top men.
This discusses politics among the Vietnamese-Americans in the Seattle area. It surprised me that any Vietnamese were considering voting for Biden, since their cousins in my red state are (1) very heavily armed -- I'm talking near company-level TOE -- (2) charmingly say "Communist" when they mean "Democrat", and (3) would crawl over ground glass to vote for Trump again.
[SeattleTimes] They were called traitors, communists and, in a common Vietnamese insult, dogs.
Such was the reaction in some quarters of the internet when material about Vietnamese Americans for Biden hit social media last month. Big, red X’s covered the faces of those pictured, including Democratic Washington state Rep. My-Linh Thai.
"Joe Biden is a man who worshipped China," claimed one Facebook poster in Vietnamese. Another objection, with enormous resonance in a community that leans heavily for President Donald Trump: Biden, the Facebook poster said, opposed taking in refugees after the Vietnam War.
Those claims are contested by progressives, who assert it is Trump who has strengthened China and that Biden has had complicated but ultimately critical positions on that communist country before the check cleared, that is.
Such are the battles among Vietnamese Americans in the run-up to the November election, immersed in historical wounds relating to war, a repressive communist regime You mean, there's another type?
and an age-old enmity toward China, which once occupied Vietnam. The trauma is still palpable, with some vividly recalling their harrowing boat escape from Vietnam.

Too many generations separated from events who now don't know that it was Biden's party that cut military aid to South Vietnam after the withdraw. Thus, setting up the conquest of the south.

There you go again, getting all hung up on facts and logic. Progressives feelz that way, so no further inquiry is permitted.
The older Vietnamese, at least, possess an incredibly valuable piece of information, i.e., what it's like to lose a war. They should regularly speak at the service academies, not that anyone would listen.

Matt, I'm beginning to think that Seattle is a particularly evil place.

Thing, yeah, that movie was 30 years ago. If they remake it now (God forbid) they would cast a non-binary individual named Butch in place of Ms. Pfeiffer. (I threw up a little bit just imagining that.)

[JPost] - On Sunday, medical staff at Samson Assuta Ashdod University Hospital began to test the use of a new coronavirus testing kit which returns results to patients within 10 minutes.
On the outside the kit itself is reminiscent of a pregnancy test, including signs that indicate "positive" or "negative."
However, unlike a pregnancy test, this test pen is inserted into the nose, obtaining samples from inside of the nasal cavity.
The test, created by Biotech company CerTest, can be performed by any medic or nurse without the need for laboratory intervention.
During the trial, the tests are done alongside the normally used tests, for the purpose of monitoring their quality.
