[With daddy’s help Hunter Biden has figured out how to collect on all of his international graft accounts – the sumbich has suddenly become a world renown artiste, ‘selling’ his paintings for up to $500K apiece.  Daddy and his DoJ are making sure that the art connoisseurs don’t get fingered as their money gets laundered.  It will be interesting to see if/how these ‘Paid in Full’ receipts are displayed.  So, no matter how they are run, elections do have consequences.  Or as Josif Vissarionovich observed, ‘It matters not for whom the votes are cast, only who counts them.’  gjr]

    I spent a few moments reading articles on racial prejudice in Cuba, mostly on black-oriented news sites. It was about as expected. Pretty much a dry hole as there was no surprise.
    My main take-away is my utter admiration for Ms. H-Jones. As a mid-witted grifter, she has few peers. Why anyone cares what she has to say is a mystery and is largely the public’s fault, but she sure can work the system. Sheer genius. You could argue that Trump is merely a larger version of that concept, but as a battering ram against the 17 intelligence agencies and their friends you take any allies you can.

    Even now, even after two presidential cycles of poll debacles, these godforsaken liars still refuse to do what’s necessary to get it right. And we all know why. Just like their establishment media allies, getting it right is not the goal. Instead, the goal is to manipulate public opinion, shape news cycles, justify narratives, and deceive everyday Americans into believing they’re all alone out there when they’re not.
    Remember how popular gay marriage was in all those polls?
    Remember how gay marriage went down in flames almost every time it was put on a ballot, including in the People’s Republic of California?

    “Back in the day, LSD trips were mostly a matter of personal choice. Today, though, all you have to do is wake up somewhere between Montauk and the Farallon Islands and your senses are overwhelmed with hallucinations. The public used to depend on newspapers and TV networks to suss out reality, but that filter is long gone, replaced by a relentless “narrative” machine, and all it does is spin out one technicolor whopper after another.
    The trouble is: narrative is not the truth. Generally, it’s the opposite of the truth. It’s manufactured counter-truth. The more narrative you spin, the faster you must spin off new supporting narrative to conceal the untruth of your previous narrative — until the national hive mind is lit up in unreality where nothing makes sense and the very language that separates humanity from the rough beasts becomes a social poison. And is “Joe Biden” not the perfect gibbering epitome of this mess, a ghost in the narrative machine, beckoning us into chaos?”

    NPR’s true colors.
    LMeanwhile, the Biden Administration is openly pushing for Facebook to crack down on “misinformation.” “They’re killing people,” the president declares, and his Press Secretary confirms his White House is keeping a list of publications it disagrees with and which it believes Facebook should censor.
    And as with Henry II asking, “Who will rid me of this turbulent priest,” Biden’s state-funded knights at NPR spring into action to assassinate his enemies.
    At least they’re getting paid off for their efforts. Judd Legum at Popular Information, Kevin Roose and Kara Swisher at the New York Times, and the rest of the establishment media have made themselves puppets of the president for free.
    This would all be hilariously pathetic if it weren’t so frightening. A government-funded source not-so-subtly calling for Facebook to censor factual material from a conservative point of view, arguing that to do so would alleviate “polarization” — and doing all of that at the same time the White House is blaming social media for everything from January 6 to the Covid pandemic — is authoritarian and ugly.”

Why won’t the feds release the killer capitol cop’s name along with 14,000 hours of security video that would show what really happened in the Capitol on 6 Jan?”
    My answer is I don’t know. That’s a question for the Feds. From what I’ve seen and comparing it to the legal definition of an insurrection that I provided my question would be why haven’t they been charged with that. They broke in by smashing through locked doors, injured over 100 police officers, occupied private offices and threatened the lives of elected representatives. That much is fact.

    PaulE 244pm – Here’s something you might consider that would give you relief with your messenger/message issue. If a (to you) doubtful messenger breaks a story, then you would be wise to wait until another independent source corroborates it before deciding on the message. But if the same messenger reports a story already corroborated by an independent source, then your continued rejection of the message, because you heard it first from your doubtful messenger, will reflect badly on your intellect and your decision making. You can and should always try to get another source to concur, or at least report on the same thing from a different perspective.
    Give it a try, and then you won’t sound like the ever-petulant teen whose mind is easily made up because there is not much to such a mind.

    On its website, the Fairfax Democratic Committee posted a flyer for the a “Rally in Support of Student Health and Public Education.” The event description included the location of the speech – Luther Jackson Middle School – as well as the date and time, said anti-CRT activist Asra Nomani, who took the original footage of Leete’s comments.

    Insight: “We must not permit our respect for the dead or our sympathy for the living to lead us into an act of injustice to the balance of the living. I will not attempt to prove that Congress has no power to appropriate this money as an act of charity. Every member upon this floor knows it. We have the right as individuals to give away as much of our own money as we please in charity; but as members of congress we have no right to appropriate a dollar of the public money.” —Davy Crockett (1786-1836)
    Re: The Left: “For most Americans, things like free speech, freedom of religion and freedom of movement are not ancillary. They are central to our lives. They can’t be traded away for a year of extra day care. The left does not share this view. Worse, as proven repeatedly in many corners of the world, the left is ready and willing to crush those who do.” —Neil Patel
    Good question: “Most requirements found in H.R. 1 have never existed in most states. So how could failing to implement them bring us to the edge of the abyss?” —David Harsanyi
    For the record: “Democrats have won numerous elections across the country and nationally under laws they now claim are authoritarian. They will likely win many more. The fact is that it is easier to vote today than ever before. Any citizen can obtain an ID and request a mail ballot in every state. No amount of cynically manufactured hysterics changes that fact.” —David Harsanyi
    Observations: “I think it’s really scary to have the federal government of the United States [and] the White House compiling lists of people, organizations, whatever, and going to a private company that by the way is a monopoly — Facebook — and saying you need to censor. … At this point, you really have to wonder how private of companies they are. I mean, if you are taking direction from the federal government, openly coordinating with the federal government, you have got the government saying we think this speech ought to be censored and Big Tech if they carry out those instructions, I mean, that looks like they are starting to operate as a public utility and there are many people out there who say we ought to just treat them as public utilities.” —Senator Josh Hawley
