[Victory Girls] During the Impeachment Trial of President Donald Trump, Hunter Biden and his dealings in Ukraine were brought up often. His dealings in China were not a big concern at the time. His ties to businesses with ties to the Chinese Communist Party and human rights violations are much more problematic and need to be investigated. Not that there are any journalists in the media who will do the type digging needed.
Last we saw Hunter Biden, he was introducing his Dad, Joe, at the Democrat National Convention, while lionizing his dead brother, Beau. As Deanna wrote, the Democrat Party largely papered over Hunter’s rather sordid dating history, read it here. The Party also blotted out his self-admitted drug and alcohol problems and discharge from the Naval Reserve.
In Washington, D.C., deal-making and nepotism among the powerful are considered usual, customary and reasonable. This is part of the rot in the roots of the Deep State. A sitting Vice President’s son is awarded a position on the board of a energy company and it’s no big thing. The New York Times debunked four viral rumors about the Hunter Biden deal:
Once members of Congress turned their attention to Mr. Trump’s dealings with Ukraine, incorrect statements about the former vice president and his son started circulating again in far-right corners of the internet and on social media platforms like Facebook. Mainstream conservative media outlets like Fox News began running with some of the theories and Mr. Trump echoed them.
Oh, those far-right rumor mills. Nothing to see here, move along, deplorables.
What is appalling, in light of Hidin’ Biden’s Presidential run, is the medias complete disregard for his son’s China deals. It’s not just that there is no Chinese company that is not controlled by the Chinese Communist Party. It is the human rights violations that these companies "ignore". I don’t like to use the word ignore. The world knows that China uses enforced labor and harvests organs from dissidents. It is more honest to think of these companies as complicit. Every executive in the C-Suite knows exactly what is going on in China, but cheap labor and fat profits are too attractive to let get away.
"Blue collar" Joe has claimed that that he will go after China in the right way. I have no idea what Joe Biden is saying, but here he explains his China policy:
[Spectator] I’ve got a bone to pick with Coronavirus (CV) data.
CV data isn’t tracked by city: it’s tracked by zip code (too detailed) and by county (not specific enough).
Instead, in this article, I’ll assume the main county represents the main city. In other words, the main county includes most of the main city population, although city and county are not correlated one-to-one.

The Navajo nation in the four corners is the outlier. The governor in Santa Fe is using those numbers to put small business, particularly in rural communities far from the action, into insolvency.

We don't have a democracy. We have an oligarchy. The oligarchs are flaming upset that the facade of the game fell when the republic chose Trump over who they were suppose to 'elect'.

/\ Yes, the Deep State globalists grew complacent after eight years of the hand picked Soetoro. Recognizing the threat to their power, they quickly weaponized the FBI, the Intelligence Community, and Media to thwart the Orange Man's efforts at election and success in office.
The vitriol of many of the senior Intelligence Community members toward Trump was bewildering at first, but the scales quickly fell off.
We're still waiting on the Justice Department to sort it all out. We'll likely still be 'waiting' ten years from now. I am least of all hopeful.
Wishful thinking from Egypt. So why did the government-aligned Al Ahram publish this eruption by a former assistant foreign minister?
[AlAhram] Moves to establish a tripartite mechanism of cooperation among Egypt, Jordan and Iraq could provide an important counterbalance to US-Israeli regional hegemony.
Sorry — unless Gropey Joe Biden is elected there will be no counterbalancing. Iraq is a disaster, Jordan is scrambling to not be a disaster, and Egypt is in the least bad condition its been since Nasser overthrew Egypt’s playboy king.
On Tuesday, 25 August, the Jordanian capital, Amman, hosted the third summit of the tripartite mechanism of cooperation among Egypt, Jordan and Iraq. The first summit had taken place in Cairo in March of last year, and the second took place in New York City during the ordinary session of the UN General Assembly in September 2019.
In the two previous summits, Iraq was represented by the former Iraqi prime minister Adel Abdel-Mahdi. This time, Iraq was represented by the new Iraqi Prime Minister Mustafa al-Kadmi.

Pompeo, Trump Jr, and Tillerson have made much progress in the Middle East - they may be near a tipping point that will improve conditions enough that populations will stop believing their 'masters.'
[AMERICANMIND.ORG - Kevin Portteus] BLM and Antifa are determined to bring the country to its knees. We should act accordingly.
In what has since become known as his first "major" speech, Abraham Lincoln famously warned the Young Men's Lyceum of Springfield, Illinois in 1838 about the dangers of "mob rule." As reprehensible as are the immediate consequences of mob rule, however, Lincoln's larger strategy in the speech is to use our revulsion at the actions of the mob to draw our attention to the long-term dangers of what he calls "the mobocratic spirit."
These dangers move in two directions. In the first place, "the lawless in spirit, are encouraged to become lawless in practice; and having been used to no restraint, but dread of punishment, they thus become absolutely unrestrained." Mob rule, in other words, encourages evil men to run wild. Conversely, ordinary law-abiding people, recognizing that the government can or will do nothing to protect them, "become tired of, and disgusted with" that government.
According to Lincoln, this is the ideal situation for the destruction of free self-government. When the mobocratic spirit rules, "the strongest bulwark of any Government, and particularly those constituted like ours, may effectually be broken down and destroyed - I mean the attachment of the people." Neither the law-abiding nor the lawless have any respect for the government, and therefore neither has any particular stake in preserving it. It is here that revolution is possible; it is here that tyranny can take root. There's much much more, RTWT

This is what America is up against. This essay explains EVERYTHING that is going on in America today. It should be required reading for all, especially for the misguided uninformed/misinformed youth.

A. Lincoln's famous speech against mob rule, 1838 Address to the Young Men's Lyceum of Springfield Illinois:
"Whenever the vicious portion of the population shall be permitted to gather in bands of hundreds and thousands, and burn churches, ravage and rob provision stores, throw printing presses into rivers, shoot editors, and hang and burn obnoxious persons at pleasure, and with impunity; depend on it, this Government cannot last... .
"At what point then is the approach of danger to be expected? I answer, if it ever reach us, it must spring up amongst us. It cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide.
"I hope I am over wary; but if I am not, there is, even now, something of ill-omen:... the increasing disregard for law which pervades the country; the growing disposition to substitute the wild and furious passions, in lieu of the sober judgment of Courts; and the worse than savage mobs, for the executive ministers of justice.
"Accounts of outrages committed by mobs, form the everyday news of the times. They have pervaded the country, from New England to Louisiana... .
"[Those who have always] regarded Government as their deadliest bane make a jubilee of the suspension of its operations; and pray for nothing so much as its total annihilation... .
"Good men, who love tranquility, who desire to abide by the laws…seeing their property destroyed; their families insulted; and their lives endangered; their persons injured; and seeing nothing in prospect that forebodes a change for the better, [have] become tired of, and disgusted with, a Government that offers them no protection...."
[ZMan] One of the stranger parts of the summer of left-wing violence is that no one has bothered to think too much about why the people are rioting. Sure, the official Left says it is an organic uprising over something or other. The official Right says these people are communists doing communisms. That’s the same old tired sloganeering we hear from the political class all the time. Neither claim gets to the question of why these people are out in the streets every night in certain cities.
Initially, the Black Lives Matter stuff was just the semi-organized Democratic Party street activism we have come to expect before an election. BLM was organized by the Obama administration on the college campuses. Then it bled into the legacy racial grievance rackets. The statue toppling after George Floyd overdosed in police custody was mostly paid for by the party trying to whip up black support. Then it gave way to the anarchy we are seeing in places like Seattle and Portland.
That’s an aspect that gets very little attention. The violence we are seeing is in mostly white cities by mostly white people. Minneapolis is 19% black. Seattle is 7% black and Portland is 6% black. Kenosha is 10% black and close to 80% white! Note that super-black cities like Baltimore, St. Louis and Detroit have had no riots. Los Angeles, which just had a police shooting, could not get a decent riot going. They tried, but they lack the white kids with back packs needed to do it.
The truth behind these riots is that they have nothing to do with local issues or legitimate grievances. They are simply a happening that is drawing in the disaffected white youth that provides bodies for Antifa. Get up close to an Antifa crowd and what is striking is how unimpressive they are individually. The males are skinny and awkward, while the females are loud and ridiculous. These are young whites who have no place in the neo-liberal order, so they end up in Antifa.
***
A truth of the human condition is men need purpose and fraternity. Maybe it is the military and family life. Maybe it is a frat at college and then a career. Maybe it is the job site and the local pub. Women need community and companionship. The nuclear family was created for them. The liberal democratic world order does none of these things for people. Living atomized, pointless lives among constantly shifting groups of strangers is a recipe for disaster, not paradise.
What’s now happening on the Left is a reflection of what has been happening in the white working and middle-classes. Progressive politicians cheer it on, because at some level, they wish they could be in the streets too. The mayor of Portland is living a pointless existence and he knows it. The difference is these anarchists get to express their unhappiness outside. Working class whites are ignored and the white middle class is threatened into remaining quiet.

the white middle class is threatened into remaining quiet.
Oh, I think the WMC is going to be frightened into action once they realize their passive livelihood of salary, insurance, suburbia, transport, schooling for their kids, retirement and social security is ending, not just threatened.
See RAGE.
"Rage (also known as frenzy or fury) is intense, uncontrolled anger that is an increased stage of hostile response to a perceived egregious injury or injustice.[1]"

The conclusion to be drawn from the existence of this website, according to Biden campaign front man Bill Russo, is that "Russia is attempting to interfere in our elections on behalf of Donald Trump
If valid, hat tip to the Russians. If not valid, how soon can they start ?
[WND] Is it true that leaders of the BLM movement, including one of the cofounders, are calling on the spirits of the dead? That they claim to receive spiritual power from the deceased? That they talk with these spirits and even give them names? The answer to all these questions is yes. This is now an open secret.
Lest you think that this type of "spirituality" is exceedingly rare, I remind you that in October 2019, the New York Times ran a story titled, "When Did Everybody Become a Witch?" The article claimed that, "We have reached peak witch," noting, "Real witches are roaming among us, and they're seemingly everywhere."
Yes, "Witches are influencers who use the hashtag #witchesofinstagram to share horoscopes, spells and witchy memes, and they are anti-Trump resistance activists carrying signs that say "Hex the Patriarchy" (also the title of a new book of spells), and "We are the granddaughters of the witches you weren't able to burn."
I documented this phenomenon in my book, "Jezebel's War with America," also arguing that many of the major trends in our society could be traced back to this "Jezebelic" spirit. These include the rise of pornography; the shout your abortion movement; radical feminism; the emasculating of men; the war on gender; the rise of witchcraft and sorcery; and the silencing of the prophetic voice of the church.
With the rise of the BLM movement, we have further evidence of this Jezebelic influence, as the cofounders are all radical feminists, with two of the three identifying as queer. (Please note that I use the initials BLM to distinguish this Marxist-based movement from the important affirmation that black lives do matter.)
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
