[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]

    “Biden administration officials are divided over the origin of the coronavirus, but an increasing number now believe that it could have leaked from a lab in Wuhan, China, according to a report.
    The once-derided lab-leak theory is now being seriously considered by senior administration officials even as most experts on coronaviruses maintain that COVID-19 originated in nature, jumping from animals to humans, according to a CNN report Friday.”

    A busy weekend for antifa –
    Antifa counter-protesters clashed with baton-wielding LAPD officers near the spa on Saturday, according to videos posted by independent journalist Brendan Gutenschwager.
    A flyer posted online by the southwest chapter of the Youth Liberation Front, which was described by the Seattle Times as “a persistent militant voice,” encouraged followers to gather at Wi Spa at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday to “SMASH TRANSPHOBIA” and “SMASH FASCISM.”

    “Actually RX demonstrated that either he did not read his cited article, or he understood none of it. From the above comments it looks like everyone else did, and we all determined that there was less there than met the eye.”
    It’s a bummer that they simply don’t release whatever documents they have instead of releasing small tidbits to push a narrative.
    That’s the main problem with the Hunter Biden Crackhead laptop, which at least has provenance.
    The media is so in the bag for somebody or the other (typically youknowwho, but not always) that it’s probably just best to ignore anything that’s not a full primary source with it’s sourcing. That’s the beauty of youtube (and it’s brethren) video, it’s hard to lie about riot footage or a public statement by President Potato.

    A refugee from commi dictators gets beef from stupid brainwashed students –
    “I found a lot of people who were super supportive, groups on campus that were super supportive, people online that supported me and my cause and were against what Castro represents,” Suarez said. “But I also found a lot of people on campus that see Castro as a person that they should admire.”
    MONEY QUOTE –
    “I never expected to hear this kind of rhetoric in the U.S.,” he added.
    The rise of anti-government protests in Cuba prompted fierce clashes among U.S. politicians. Republican lawmakers pushed the Biden administration to take immediate steps to support the protestors amid reports of government-led violence, while some progressives, including Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-NY, and Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., have argued the decades-long U.S. embargo has played a major role in poor living conditions on the island.
    Suarez said he has encountered similar views among students who were critical of his campaign, including some who he said urged him to attend courses to better educate himself on the situation in Cuba. (NOW THATS FUNNY)
    The Venezuelan immigrant said signs of support for socialist policies in the U.S. was another key factor in his decision to speak out about the quote.
    “I think for some people, they don’t understand how it is until they lived it,” Suarez said. “It’s sad because they’re just pushing for ideals that have been the cause of such misery and death and pain, for me, for Cuba and for many countries around the world that have tried these systems that haven’t worked. It’s very painful. That’s why I stood up and I’m trying to make a change.”

    As a side bar, there was a non-binding resolution in Congress to oppose the Cuba regime’s brutal crackdown on the dissenters seeking freedom or something. People power. Got zero Demo votes. Zero, nada, milch; a big round number.
    Now we are taken back to Castro welcoming Eldridge Cleaver and how nice of him to take in that lovely woman who shot a police officer dead at point blank range, fleeing to the refuge isle. Can’t remember if Angela Davis went to Cuba for awhile. Maybe then to Algeria? And then a job at Berekely. That’s Dr. Davis to you, head of communist studies.
    This Cuba thang is really putting the Dems to the test. If they condemn Cuba, the Blank Panthers…er…BLM will be pissed and feel rejected in their shining triumphant hour…thus proof of systematic racism and worse, the supporters of human rights and freedom will suddenly become the KKK racists. Chomp, chomp. Oh, what to do, oh want to do. Best put a lid on Cuba. Cowards. Bagdad Bobbie.

    BT 10:19 – That link led me to this article:
    https://www.intellectualtakeout.org/feds–bill-for-no-fly-secrets—4-536/
    Apparently the feds are now restricting ‘certain’ citizens civil liberties without due process or recourse of appeal.
    As long as they get away with it, they will expand the process to eventually include all of us unless they are slapped down by the courts.
    I realize the basic idea is not new. The protection from being detained without probable cause was done away with decades ago and property being confiscated without due process is still being abused despite several court decisions to the contrary.
    So – along with the great new idea of having the social media companies ‘working’ with the feds to block protected free speech, we are traveling right along the CCP developed ‘social credit’ system to a Brave New World.
    But at least we don’t have any of Trump’s mean tweets.

    The errant property does get due process before being confiscated.
    “The People of the US v. a bag of money” is how the case might be advertised in legal announcements. And all claimed owners of the bag of money would be able to show up in court to prove the bag of money is innocent (yes, they have to prove the innocence) and that they were the proper owners of the bag.
    the cool thing is that the process is civil so the bag of money does not have a right to legal counsel. Wow!

    And if Paul does not consider countering or checking the veracity of any conservative’s message, then his ability to carry on any kind of substantive debate in these pages is over. If readers here reciprocate and equally don’t address the substance of his messages because of his choice of messengers, then there’s nothing more to say.

    “The fracas over a transgender woman using the clothing-optional women’s area of a Koreatown spa is more complicated than it might seem. There is no doubt that Wi Spa did the right thing in defending the right of a transgender customer to be nude in the women’s area, even though the sight of male-appearing genitalia discomfited at least one female customer, who complained at the front desk.” —LA Times editorial board (“This euphemism for ‘penis and testicles’ from the LA Times is truly astonishing.” —Ben Shapiro)

    Paul, we covered the “noose” extensively at the time. It’s a bloody mockup, what one might expect for a middle school Drama department. The crosspiece barely clears the head of an Asian woman of middling height standing beneath it. The knot is faked… not a hangman’s noose. And the vertical supports are not robust to hang anything that isn’t cooperative… a sack of potatoes, perhaps.
    So, either you’re faking it, or your cognitive decline matches Biden’s. Sad.

    We have already circled the ‘insurrection’ definition barn twice. Your definition is both lame and dysfunctional. It would define every act of crime from bank robbery to jay walking as an insurrection because they are “instances of revolting against civil authority or an established government.” Any act that can credibly called an insurrection has to minimally have had a plan to bring down an existing government and substitute a new government in waiting. None of this happened, and no one is even being charged with insurrection. Milling around or even rioting in a government building with no unified leadership or purpose is not an insurrection. This is lap three.
    So here are two other questions you won’t touch. Why has no one been charged and hundreds still being held in solitary six months after the event? 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?

    I knew from the get-go this morning when you sobered up I KNEW you would be posting, once again, a definition of the word ‘insurrection’. Just did not know the exact time. Figured if would be leading your second post. You are in good company with the lefty statists on the Union’s opinion comments. The love to post Webster’s Dictionary, but only when it comes to insurrection. Other than that lone example, it’s all hyperbole. Theses are the same folks who are so ignorant they would drink fish tank cleaner, ROFLMA.
    Now Paul, tell us what the legal definition of insurrection is. That’s all that matters under equal protection under the law. Even the pair that threw the fire extinguishers at the Capitol Police have not been charged insurrection. The only shot fired was by an unknown officer was directed at an unarmed woman. A veteran no less. No wonder why Janet Napolitano put veterans on the terror watch list in Obama’s first term.
    The convictions so far include trespassing of two grandmothers (unarmed), one case dropped, another ‘insurrectionist’ got a fine and 100 hours of community service. The lego set of the US Capital Building found at the home of one of the co-conspirators turned out to be still in the box, and the Q Anon Shaman (whom the media jumped to label as the ringleader of the insurrection):has been transferred to a federal mental institution because the Feds have some serious concerns he is not competent to stand trial. Wonder what their first clue was???
    Interesting to note that some of the flags the storming mob were carrying were of fictitious countries and now the media (National Geographic of all news mags) is calling Viking hammers as a racist symbol.
    To be fair, I have seen more crazy dressed up fans with painted faces at a Minnesota Vikings football game on any given Sunday, not to mention more crazies than Q Anon Shaman that you could ever imagine.
    The gallows: looks like the builders of the gallows were a wee bit shy on the crossbeam. Measure once, cut twice. Bet that lumber is worth a fortune today, not so expensive a mere 5 months ago. Doubt and of the rioters could afford to build it today.
