I love The Big Guy's upcoming Potemkin summit "for democracy" and against "illicit finance":
On December 9-10, Biden will convene a Leaders’ Summit for Democracy in Washington, where human rights, illicit finance and regulation will be discussed. All three issues are closely interconnected and are clearly prioritized by Biden’s administration, which promises to connect the dots and use all of its weight to protect democracy.
Inquiring minds want to know: Will the guests have a chance to view and purchase Hunter's paintings?
Will Hunter and Tony Bobulinski host a panel discussion on "Partnering With CCP Front Companies for Fun and Profit"?
Will Patrick Ho be released from prison so he can present on Money Laundering Best Practices?

The article assumes that actual actions and consequences will come out of the meeting. Given the administration's performance to date, I'm betting on just a lot of words followed by nothing.

Didn't think this was The Jerusalem Post; more like the Babylon Bee.
Description: " A dazzling theatrical event created by Obie Award-winning artist Whitney White and performed by White and an ensemble with a live band,Macbeth In Stride examines what it means to be an ambitious Black woman through the lens of one of Shakespeare's most iconic characters...."
[City Journal] AT&T Corporation has created a racial reeducation program that promotes the idea that "American racism is a uniquely white trait" and boosts left-wing causes such as "reparations," "defund police," and "trans activism."
I have obtained a cache of internal documents about the company’s initiative, called Listen Understand Act, which is based on the core principles of critical race theory, including "intersectionality," "systemic racism," "white privilege," and "white fragility." CEO John Stankey launched the program last year and, subsequently, has told employees that private corporations such as AT&T have an "obligation to engage on this issue of racial injustice" and push for "systemic reforms in police departments across the country."
According to a senior employee, who agreed to speak on condition of anonymity, managers at AT&T are now assessed annually on diversity issues, with mandatory participation in programs such as discussion groups, book clubs, mentorship programs, and race reeducation exercises. White employees, the source said, are tacitly expected to confess their complicity in "white privilege" and "systemic racism," or they will be penalized in their performance reviews. As part of the overall initiative, employees are asked to sign a loyalty pledge to "keep pushing for change," with suggested "intentions" such as "reading more about systemic racism" and "challenging others’ language that is hateful." "If you don’t do it," the senior employee says, "you’re [considered] a racist." AT&T did not respond when asked for comment.
On the first page of AT&T’s Listen Understand Act internal portal, the company encourages employees to study a resource called "White America, if you want to know who’s responsible for racism, look in the mirror." The article claims that the United States is a "racist society" and lays out its thesis plainly: "White people, you are the problem. Regardless of how much you say you detest racism, you are the sole reason it has flourished for centuries." The author, Dahleen Glanton, writes that "American racism is a uniquely white trait" and that "Black people cannot be racist." White women, she claims, "have been telling lies on black men since they were first brought to America in chains," and, along with their white male counterparts, "enjoy the opportunities and privileges that white supremacy affords [them]."
Yes, we really do need to take out these grifting little shakedown artists. Out of this country, to a shithole in Africa so they can perform their shakedown routines there

Silly me. I thought AT&T had an obligation to provide telephone and communications services. Shows you what I know.

Another day, another Legal Clown Show in the USSA.
In the words of Self-Defense Law expert attorney Andrew Branca:
PROSECUTOR BINGER SAYS ARSON NO BIG DEAL
I did want to highlight the last couple of moments of that last clip, because it is so laughable.
Here we actually see Prosecutor Binger attempt to argue to Judge Schroeder that arson is no big deal, it’s just a bunch of kids being loud and disorderly. Judge Schroeder actually responds to Binger, “I can’t believe some of the things you’re saying.”
After going back and forth on this for a couple of minutes, Judge Schroeder simply dismisses Binger as one might dismiss an ex-spouse—it’s pretty funny.

Looks like all the prosecutor is doing is throwing as much BS out there as he can, hoping the jurors will find some excuse among it to make a political conviction.

Which actually didn't work out well at all for Mike Nifong. He was so bad that even the Democrat Attorney General (Roy Cooper at the time) had to throw him off the case. He hasn't been heard from since.

[Red State] There’s been a major shift when it comes to the governor’s race in Virginia over the past two weeks.
As we reported earlier, now the Real Clear Politics average of polls is showing Youngkin ahead of Terry McAuliffe for the first time just a few short days before the election.
That’s in part due to a stunning Fox poll which shows Youngkin up over McAuliffe by eight percent. As Fox notes, that’s basically a complete reversal of the race from two weeks ago. It was 51-46% with McAuliffe up two weeks ago. Now, however, it’s Youngkin up, 53-45% among likely voters.
That’s a stunning move within two weeks and it’s beyond the margin of error. Youngkin also leads with registered voters, by one percent.
The difference has been the education questions which are powering up the GOP base, as well as bringing in independents and even Democrats. McAuliffe is still trying to defend his campaign-killing comment that parents "shouldn’t be telling schools what they should teach." Meanwhile, 79 percent of Youngkin supporters are "extremely" interested in the election compared to 69 percent of McAuliffe supporters.

...IF this is true - and The Ol' Perfessor at Instapundit seems to be cautiously confident - it still ain't over. McAuliffe is lining up his lawfare team, and I think he'd burn the Old Dominion to the ground rather than lose.
Way too much is at stake here. The only way to avoid a messy scorched-earth campaign by the Dems is for Youngkin to win by at least what Fox is showing.

Re #2: George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley wrote that McAuliffe hiring Elias is an "astonishing move."
"There are a host of election lawyers but McAuliffe selected an attorney accused of lying to the media, advancing rejected conspiracy theories, and currently involved in a major federal investigation that has already led to the indictment of his former partner," Turley wrote.
"McAuliffe may be preparing to challenge any win by Republican Glenn Youngkin," he wrote on Twitter.
i would like supremes to take the opinion that all elections be conducted with hand-counted paper ballots.
Any or all state legislators can enable that at any time they wish. But they don't.

yes paper ballots are safer but not foolproof
e.g.,
back in 2008 Al Franken won based on paper ballots that 'showed up' late in the counting
02, the D candidate for senate in SD won 92% of 3000+ votes in the Pine Ridge reservation in an election he won by about 500 votes total - of the votes from the reservation - many by absentee with suspicious signatures (no ID required)
we need voter ID to minimize fraud (it won't end fraud, there will still be people who harvest in long term care, people who impersonate, etc. but these will be limited)

Remember 2020 when Judges and Election officials illegally changed rules that the legislatures' approvals were needed but not gotten? Anyone get prosecuted, fined, or jailed for that shit?

For me, the shock was not that the Dems would try to rig the election, but that no one would call them on it. Even the Supreme Court. Lack of standing? Seriously? More like nobody would stand up and do their job.

Not complicated, as so many here (and around the world) have pointed out: photo IDs and signatures. Verification by official observers representing the main parties. Hand counting at the local level -- again, observed by representatives of each party.
No ridiculous tallying by private software companies. No internet-connected servers involved. Strict enforcement of deadlines, ID requirements, verification, chain of custody.
Anyone who pushes back on any of the above obvious, sane, simple requirements of a free and fair election is clearly trying to get away with lying or cheating or stealing.

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.
