[The Federalist] New documents reported by Fox News Wednesday show communication between Hunter Biden and a Chinese businessman, further implicating former Vice President Joe Biden in his son’s foreign business dealings, Federalist Senior Editor Mollie Hemingway said on "America’s Newsroom" Thursday morning.
"You don’t want the president’s son having ties to corrupt foreign adversaries or governments because you worry how that will affect U.S. policy," Hemingway said.
New documents uncovered on Wednesday revealed that Hunter Biden sent Ye Jianming "best wishes from the entire Biden family" and requested $10 million from the businessman, who is closely tied to the Chinese Communist Party.
"The context of all of these emails and all these discussions is that Joe Biden’s son, Hunter, and his brother, James, have made a lot of money from companies or even governments that sought to access Joe Biden," Hemingway noted. "So they would indicate that they were close to Joe Biden, they would get a lot of money, and they would also make sure not to put anything in a paper trail."

This is the same scheme the CCP uses to buy politicians in shithole countries up and down Africa: organize a front company as an "investment fund," approach pols known to be corrupt, and offer to do a JV with a vehicle the pol and his pals set up in their home country. Then let the gravy flow.
Nice to know that our country now gets the same treatment the ChiComs reserved previously for Africa. All praise and honor to the Biden Clan: our very own version of Idi Amin's family or the Mobutus.
We all be Zimbabweans now

China Joe is a huge security threat should he be placed/installed/inserted in the WH. Dangle a buck or two or several million/billion and you own him.
[NYPOST] Democrats won the election, but they don’t seem very happy about it. And with reason: The election failed in its main purpose, which was to shut down the Deplorables. (That the Democrats won the election is in doubt. There have been two slates of competing electors submitted from seven states. There is a case pending in a Wisconsin court. Moreover, there have been several law cases pending before the Supreme Court. At the same time there are calls for John Roberts and Stephen Breyer to recuse themselves from these cases.)
Deplorables, in Hillary Clinton’s infamous term, are working- and middle-class people who haven’t bought into the progressive agenda. They’re people who don’t see the rise of the tech oligarchy as a plus, who don’t think "woke" politics makes sense, who have jobs that produce tangible outputs. They’re nearly half the country.
This election was supposed to demoralize them, crushing President Trump and his supporters in a double-digit landslide that would give the Democrats solid control of the White House and Congress — and, with a little judicious court-packing, of the judicial branch, too. The Deplorables would be made to realize that they aren’t in charge, that if they want to ride, they’ll have to (in Barack Obama’s famous words) ride in the back.
Only it didn’t work out that way. The big congressional victories turned into lost House seats for the Democrats. And the presidential election was hardly a crushing victory. For an election to really take, the losers have to admit that they’ve been beaten. And to admit that they’ve been beaten, they have to think they actually lost fair and square. Not many Trump supporters think that.
Leaving aside charges of voter fraud and vote-rigging, there is the undisputable fact that Big Media and Big Tech put not just a thumb, but both hands on the scales to influence the result.
As much as possible, the media ignored the Hunter Biden scandal and Joe Biden’s role in it, first reported in this paper. When blue-check reporters did pay attention, they claimed, falsely and without evidence, that the reports were "Russian disinformation."
Big Tech shut down the accounts of people who shared the story, and Twitter even blocked sharing the link via direct messages.
The machinations worked, but at a high price: According to a McLaughlin poll, enough Joe Biden voters say they would have changed their votes had they known of the Hunter Biden scandal that they would have produced a solid Trump win. The impression of tech-media-corporate underhandedness will long endure.
So the Deplorables are still around, and they’re still angry. And as long as they’re still around, and still angry, the Democrats can’t actually get what they want.
Trump was elected, remember, because in 2016, the elites had already lost their mojo. In the mid-20th century, elites brought us antibiotics, jet planes and trips to the moon. In more recent years, they’ve brought us failed wars, a failed health care reform with a lousy nonfunctioning website and economic policies that benefited the rich at the expense of the middle and working classes.
Getting rid of Trump won’t get rid of that problem, and, in fact, will only make it worse. His army will still be out there — motivated.
Mikhail Kutuzov, the Russian general who administered a crushing defeat to Napoleon, did so by realizing that as long as he kept his army intact, he didn’t have to win flashy victories. And he eventually ground Napoleon’s forces down to a nub. Likewise, so long as the Deplorables don’t give up in their opposition, they can’t really be defeated. By staying motivated, the Deplorables can become the Unconquerables.
Oh, the Democrats will use every vote-harvesting and media-censoring trick they can manage in response. But when half the population views a government as illegitimate and, in a fundamental sense, hostile, there’s a limit to how far the left can get.
Ironically, the one thing that might send the Unconquerables back to their daily routines is the one thing the Democrats won’t be able to manage: showing understanding, concern and respect to working-class America. Too many of today’s Democrats have anchored their self-esteem in feeling superior to other Americans — and to loudly and contemptuously proclaiming that superiority — for a conciliatory policy to work.
Indeed, I expect them to expand their efforts to mock and deplore those on the other side. In doing so, of course, they’ll just help keep the opposition together and focused.
It’s not smart, but it’s almost certainly what the Dems will do. And that will keep the army together for 2022 and 2024.

I don't think the left is in any way ready, mentally or practically, for a real resistance. It won't be a resistance of pu$$y hat wearing morons interrupting people at dinner in restaurants. It won't be a resistance of college students shouting down speakers on campus. It will be a sullen, implacable mass of people refusing an countless little ways to "just all get along together." In their wake will come lots of little failures and delays that will take all the joy out of the glorious march of progressivism towards its imagined brighter day. it will happen in countless little ways that can't be cancelled, punished, prevented or predicted.
And for those of us doing it, it will be a matter of smiling thinly and muttering, too softly to be heard, "You asked for it, brother..."

For starters I can count at least five:
- thousands of drivers for Amazon going on strike (Say goodbye, pro-lockdown blue-staters, to oligarch-fueled comfort and convenience)
- millions of families ditching the public schools for small communities of homeschoolers and expert tutors (say goodbye to incompetent, fraudulent Zoombie non-education)
- 100,000 small business owners saying F You to fines and the lockdown and serving their customers directly
- 70 million American voters refusing to acknowledge Biden as president, reminding their counterparts that Biden is a corrupt thief and took of the CCP
- all of the above leaving FB. Twitter and YT for new startups such as Parler and Rumble

Way back in the 1980s, when dinosaurs ruled the earth and we had “miraculous” celebrations like The Harmonic Convergence, the pagans called us
Those-Incapable-of-Evolution (“TIEs”).
The scuttlebutt back then was that TIEs would have to be “culled“ (yeah, let’s call it culled”) for the good of humanity; so that the “evolutionary progress” of “homo sapiens” could go on unhindered.
I think the present crop of new-Dem influencers are cut from the same cloth. Apparently, when things that sound like Mein Kampf are announced, they can’t just be ignored as stupid silliness (i.e., they are stupid, and they are silly, but still may well represent danger that shouldn’t be ignored).

If a guy in a clown suit (think John Gacy) or one of the sorts that show up in Portland Catch and Release™ or for that matter AOC show up and say that they want to kill me, I think I'll err on the side of caution.

[Daily Caller] Joe Biden will be our next president. But he will face Nemesis in a way that few other presidents have ever encountered the cruel Greek god. Biden’s hubris and that of the media/Democratic Party fusion almost guarantee such divine retribution.
Once the last of the other Democratic primary candidates dropped out and Biden was nominated, all prior negative media stories about his apparent cognitive decline and his family’s financial entanglements disappeared. From April 2020 on, a virtual news blackout surrounded Biden. His rare interviews were scripted. Biden communiques were teleprompted. Press conferences were either nonexistent or revolved around his favorite milkshake or his socks.
Mentions of Hunter Biden’s business dealings in China and Ukraine were taboo. It was sinful to reference reports of a Hunter Biden email allegedly detailing a 10 percent distribution of such revenue to the "Big Guy" — presumably Joe Biden.
Unlike Donald Trump, Joe Biden never really campaigned. After the primaries, he outsourced his fall 2020 campaign to subordinates and pet journalists to attack Trump.
So is Biden the centrist old Joe from Scranton, or the recently reinvented hard-left running mate of Kamala Harris? Both or neither? Will he keep the booming pre-COVID-19 Trump economy to claim as his own? Or will he go full socialist to apply a Bernie Sanders-style makeover to it?
A President Biden cannot avoid the press forever. He will soon face unscripted meetings with foreign leaders. He will have to meet dozens of movers and shakers each week. Is he or the nation prepared for the consequences of his return to normality after nearly a year of media fawning and forced isolation?
To win, the Democrats knowingly drafted the 77-year old Biden (who has since turned 78) to put a familiar veneer on radical agendas that had frightened primary voters. At times, Democrats seemed fated to be directly tied to the statue toppling, protesting, rioting and violence that plagued American cities for much of the summer.
Given the Democrats’ Faustian bargain with their leftmost faction, destructive rumors about Biden’s faculties or his family’s financial escapades will more likely come from his own party’s left wing, eager for a Harris presidency, rather than from the Republican opposition.
[Bannans War Room] Executive Summary - This report assesses the fairness and integrity of the 2020 Presidential Election by examining six dimensions of alleged election irregularities across six key battleground states. Evidence used to conduct this assessment includes more than 50 lawsuits and judicial rulings, thousands of affidavits and declarations, testimony in a variety of state venues, published analyses by think tanks and legal centers, videos and photos, public comments, and extensive press coverage.
The matrix below indicates that significant irregularities occurred across all six battleground states and across all six dimensions of election irregularities. This finding lends credence to the claim that the election may well have been stolen from President Donald J. Trump.

Makes me wonder if the other 43 states had these things happened to them and to what extend? I'm thinking the so called blue states would have turned red, or at least pinkish.
[New Atlas] As males age they experience a natural and gradual decline in testosterone, and research has established a relationship between low levels of the hormone and increased incidence of type 2 diabetes. In what is described as the largest study of testosterone treatment ever carried out, scientists have found regular injections of the hormone appeared to lower the risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
Low testosterone levels in men, known as male hypogonadism or testosterone deficiency syndrome, can lead to a range of negative health outcomes, such as decreased sexual function, depression and decreases in muscle and bone mass. Research has also uncovered associations between low testosterone levels and obesity in men, and found that higher testosterone levels can reduced the risk of diabetes in men.
In fact, around a third of men with type 2 diabetes have hypogonadism, so scientists have begun to explore how testosterone therapy could reduce the risk, with some promising results. A new study led by Australia's University of Adelaide is claimed to be the largest ever carried out on the subject, enlisting more than 1,000 men between the age of 50 and 74 who were either overweight or obese.
These subjects were divided into two groups, with one receiving injections of testosterone every three months and the other receiving a placebo. In addition, all were given access to a WW (formerly Weight Watchers) lifestyle program, with 30 percent of men across both groups attending the meetings and 70 percent achieving the recommended amount of exercise.
Over the two-year study, both groups lost an average of around 4 kg (8.8 lb), while the most common adverse side effect of the testosterone therapy was an increase in red blood cells, which heightens the potential for clotting and "sludgy blood." This was seen in 22 percent of the men undergoing the testosterone treatment.
After two years, 21 percent of men in the placebo group had type 2 diabetes, while only 12 percent of men in the group receiving testosterone injections had developed the disease. This group also exhibited a greater decrease in fasting blood sugar levels, small improvements in sexual function and an increase in muscle mass.

Type 2 diabetes is usually thought to be inversely correlated with prostate cancer. It might actually be that it is lower incidence in type 2 diabetics because they have lower testosterone.
