[That our news media have no desire to follow-up the Hunter Biden email revelations of Biden family corruption is a bigger untold story than anything else so far connected with this sordid affair. And that includes the (non)response of the FBI and the 50 former intelligence officials' successful attempt to disseminate fake news about the provenance of the emails on Hunter's laptop (here). As far as our lamestream media are concerned, the US is now officially a banana republic in how its citizens are fed 'information' that they are to believe. And no one, not the Republicans nor Fox News, is making much beyond clucking their tongues at what appears to be a super-scandal stillborn. gjr]

Vote baby vote –
Democrat presidential candidate Joe Biden cut off a Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, television reporter on Saturday who was attempting to ask a question about his son, Hunter Biden.
WYOU reporter Andy Mehalshick began saying, “Questions and controversy continue today about Hunter Biden, your son,” before Biden jumped on him:
WYOU’s question came as the Journal reported on Thursday about a former Biden business associate, Tony Bobulinski:
An ex-business partner of Hunter Biden, in a news conference organized by the Trump campaign, alleged that former Vice President Joe Biden was part of discussions around his son’s efforts to form an investment venture with a Chinese oil company. …
In a statement to reporters Thursday, Anthony Bobulinski said that in 2017 Hunter Biden consulted his father about a planned venture with Chinese oil company CEFC China Energy Co. to invest in the U.S. and elsewhere. Mr. Bobulinski was also a partner.
The venture—set up in 2017 after Mr. Biden left the vice presidency and before his presidential campaign—never received proposed funds from the Chinese company or completed any deals, according to people familiar with the matter. Corporate records reviewed by The Wall Street Journal show no role for Joe Biden.

I have to admit that in a Biden triumph, it’ll be funny watching them point the nutrient tank containing a crooked old perv at the crowd. Hard to say if he’ll know what the occasion is beyond the snacks promised for later. The Blue Mob will roar in approval, the DOJ will memory-hole a whole buncha matters, life goes on. There’s a great deal of ruin in a nation.
Even a Trump victory probably just puts off the inevitable. Nations that lack an existential threat tend to become not-nations over time. By the time China gets more kinetic, the remaining locks, stocks, and barrels will be largely controlled by them in any case. That’s the beauty of the financialization of a country, patriotism and ownership receive a divorce.

“The far-left New York Times accidentally confirmed all of the voter fraud reporting we’ve done here at Breitbart News.”
“The Times article is 1300 or so words long and not a single word — not one — is utilized to point out a single fact in a single one of our voter fraud reports that we got wrong.
The Times went through 30 articles we published on voter fraud — thirty! — and could not come up with a single misreported fact, a single example of fake news, or anything we reported that was misleading or deceptive.”

Polling update
There is no Trump surge. Biden up by 7.8 in RCP consensus polling. that’s about the same number he’s held wince July 6, going up or down a point or two here and there. There has been no Trump Bump like there was in’16
https://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2020/president/us/general_election_trump_vs_biden-6247.html
Also in the all important battle ground states Biden is up by 4 including leads of 8 in Michigan and six in Wisconsin. He’s up to 49.5 which matches his best numbers ever. Remember, he has to win virtually all the tossups because he’s so far behind in delegates.
https://www.realclearpolitics.com/elections/trump-vs-biden-top-battleground-states/
In the State by State delegate look first starting with the overall consensus count at 270towin which shows Biden with 279 and Trump with 134 with 134 tossups. What that means readers is that Trump has to win ALL the tossups plus flip 20 committed to Biden to eke out a win.
https://www.270towin.com/maps/biden-trump-polling-map
All in all Biden is holding strong with a week to go with no movement for Trump in any consensus polling available. Also Biden is ahead of Hillary at this date and has an 87% cchance to win according to Nate Silver which gave Hillary a 73% chance.
https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/2020-election-forecast/
All in all pretty grim. Looks like his stolen hard drive scheme to smear Bidens family is going nowhere and is a DUD. Word is his staff is starting to pack their stuff and the shredders are going full blast.
All for now. Thanks for reading and I’ll be back with updates as they appear.

Out on the srreets, but staying on sidewalks cheering at passing horns, Trump banners flying everywhere, folks with great signs and banners; a good time had by all…followed by a rock ’em sock ’em “We love Trump” pep-rally downtown. Beautiful day to boot. Perfect.
I haven’t heard those numbers since Obama went to Berlin (200,000) at the start of his rein. Of course, that was the same “gotta look cool” cat that ended his Presidentcy flying off to China to meet with all the world’s dignitaries..the same Kool Kat that had to exit AF One that day through the belly exit door. Didn’t have enough rolling stairs was the offical Chicom line. ‘Being all used at the moment.’ Sent a low level clerk to meet Obama. As Obama’s motorcade went by, out of Obama’s window he could see all the offical marching bands and all the Xhinese Biggest Wigs with gifts and school children dancing and a nice big tall airliner passenger rolling steps being pushed to the just arrived plane. France or Spain.
Anyway, Canada, 9/27(?) News You Never Heard. The Hunter Scandal is just fake news. Its all just internet rumor fuel by Putin’s agents…to sow discord! And Rudy of very questional character being the Putin-Trump go-between delivery man. They call Rudy “The Ice Man”. Ice in hia veins. Or maybe not. 🙂
