[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]

    I’m surprised they aren’t worried about Trump killing all the males 2 yrs old and under.
    Just wondering how long the left will be able to whip themselves into a feverish frenzy over nothing but their self-created nightmares?

    “Farah was attempting to clarify a press release sent Tuesday from the White House science office, which listed “ENDING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC” in bold capital letters as the top accomplishment of President Trump’s first term.”
    George, you are quibbling over semantics. The WH statement claims falsely just that – that Trump (his administration) ended the pandemic. You know that’s how Trump thinks. He is a wannabe wartime president and he is at war with Covid, Covid, Covid. And he thinks he won that war…but he didn’t; and for whatever reason he thinks we are “rounding the corner” (whatever that means), Covid is not going away and the pandemic is not over.

    Yep. They try to regulate marriage and what Jack and Jenny can say over the table. No thanks, I will take dinner to the other room. It’s a far cry from what was once known as severe cases of emotional abuse and today’s “He triggered me! It’s all hers/his fault. He pissed me off so I am not accountable for what happened next. That asshole.”
    One time in the mid-nineties, the San Diego Domestic Violence and Sexual Abuse office sent out guidelines and how to legislate how a couple conducts themselves in all their affairs. Ok, fine. But, but, but…. if after a spat or during a rising in temperature argument, let’s say in the kitchen…..if the husband who is still a bit peeved refuses to eat the dinner his lovely bride had prepared, then that is a crime punishable as domestic violence; emotional abuse. Regulate private conservations. Regulate marriage. Regulate everything.

    Jobs for citizens –
    “What this means is the higher wage level you are, the higher the likelihood of being afforded the opportunity to get the H-1B petition approved, and the only element of randomness is the scenario where you have people at the same skill level competing against each other for those last remaining spots,” the senior official said.
    The DHS claims it is more consistent with the congressional intent for the program to allow businesses to remain globally competitive.
    The move was immediately welcomed by groups that advocate for lower immigration, like the Federation for American Immigration Reform, which has expressed concerns that the visa program is used to replace Americans with lower-paid foreign workers. Trump and other administration officials have expressed similar concerns.
    “While there is still much to be done in terms of reforming guest worker programs, moving to a wage-based selection is yet another step in the right direction,” FAIR President Dan Stein said. “The H-1B lottery caters to controversial body shops who flood the market, depress wages, and take jobs from qualified Americans.”

    What about the ones they dont know about? –
    The Pennsylvania county where a worker is believed to have mistakenly discarded nine mail-in ballots has linked them to voters, meaning they are eligible to be counted.
    The incident occurred in Luzerne County, Pa., where the county manager said all of the mishandled ballots have been able to be verified, thanks to identifying information retrieved from them, according to the Wilkes Barre Times-Leader.
    Amid ongoing discussions with local and federal investigators, it was reportedly decided that the ballots in question could be returned to the county and sent through the official tallying process.
    Seven of the ballots were outside the envelope and were votes for Trump, which has caused the president to raise security concerns about the mail-in voting process.
    Two of the ballots were resealed, and it is unclear which candidate they were for.

    The old paradigm has shifted in ways no one expected –
    In his personal capacity as a private citizen, civil rights leader and Christian activist Rev. William Owens endorsed Donald Trump for president Tuesday.
    The founder and president of the Coalition of African American Pastors (CAAP), Owens, along with his wife, Dr. Deborah Owens, are the authors of A Dream Derailed: How the Left Hijacked Civil Rights to Create a Permanent Underclass.
    In a press release, Owens noted the significance of the current election, explaining that Trump’s record on issues that are important to black Americans has earned him another term in office.
    “President Trump did something that few other politicians do,” Owens said. “He sought out the opinion of a variety of African American leaders and he listened to what we had to say. Then he supported policies and programs that have real potential to help Black families.”
    Detailing further how Trump has backed black Americans, Owens first observed the president’s support for prison reform and his ability to win bipartisan support for the First Step Act.
    Next, Owens cited Trump’s “increased funding for historically Black colleges and reduced Black unemployment.”
    “What’s more, his new Platinum plan looks to invest millions in Black businesses and communities,” the civil rights leader observed. “This is a president who believes in giving a hand-up, not a hand-out in order to help our community thrive.”
    “While Mr. Biden and the Democrats continue to take the Black vote for granted, offering nothing more than empty promises and more government dependency, President Trump is offering hope and a real plan to help African Americans,” Owens continued.
    “Four years ago, President Trump asked us to give him a chance and we gave him one,” he said. “What he did with that chance shows that he deserves another four years in office. This year, President Trump has my vote.”
