Newly released emails sent by Democratic donors and business contacts of Hunter Biden's reveal that the president's son wanted a $2 million retainer for his help freeing up billions of dollars in Libyan assets that were frozen by the Obama administration, Business Insider reported.
The emails are not directly connected to other controversial emails from Hunter Biden's laptop regarding business dealings with Ukrainians, but they do show how Biden's status as the then-vice president's son and his connections within the Obama administration were seen as valuable by those who wanted to buy influence.

New emails show Hunter Biden wanted $2 million for his help to unfreeze Libyan assets - TheBlaze:
“...conservative” party votes to let the government drag my two daughters (and yours) at gunpoint off to some foreign war run by loser generals obsessed with “white rage” instead of victory..."
Instapundit--“conservative” party votes to let the government drag my two daughters (and yours) at gunpoint off to some foreign war run by loser generals obsessed with “white rage” instead of victory,
MORE “NORMS RESTORED” BY TRUMP-LESS GOP:
“In an unbelievable move, both House and Senate Republicans, many of whom view themselves as “defense hawks,” voted to add far-left language to the bill that would draft our young daughters in a time of national emergency.
In the House, 135 Republicans voted last night to do just that.”
So a huge part of the “conservative” party votes to let the government drag my two daughters (and yours) at gunpoint off to some foreign war run by loser generals obsessed with “white rage” instead of victory, who can’t even lose a war correctly, and who promise to warn actual communists before our attacks so that they’ll have maximum opportunity to kill my daughters (and yours)?
How about you let the other party own that one? This is clown world.--Posted by

Biden's executive mandates only have teeth if Americans allow them to - Washington Times:
Can the president compel employers to enforce a federal program at their own expense? In a word: No. The 13th Amendment prohibits involuntary servitude. Compelling persons and entities to work against their will and without just compensation is the definition of involuntary servitude, otherwise known by its more descriptive name — slavery.

Construction Workers Rise Up Against Australian Lockdowns - Louder With Crowder
Construction Workers Rise Up Against Australian Lockdowns - Louder With Crowder:
Australians have had enough. Or, some Australians have had enough. Somewhere between mandatory tracking apps, corporate-sponsored "health" detention centers, and being told to register with the government to visit family, citizens had had enough with the country's authoritarian lockdown orders. That includes mandatory v*cc*ne laws. It all goes into the same authoritarian goulash.
When forced to choose between freedom and not catching a virus with a 99% survival rate, some Aussies are choosing freedom. Particularly construction workers.

Black man arrested for ‘N-word’ graffiti, swastikas at Emory University
"...Roy Lee Gordon Jr. (right) is charged with second-degree burglary, Emory officials said in a news release that indicated Gordon is also the same person who allegedly wrote the “N-word” and drew swastikas at the Emory Autism Center last month. He is a former employee of the university.
- The Georgia university repeatedly avoided questions about Roy Lee Gordon’s race
A police mugshot published by the Atlanta Journal Constitution shows that Gordon is black. This is the first time his race has been revealed publicly.
Although Emory officials have known the man accused of the racial vandalism is black since early August, they have not informed the campus community of his race, which may have put a different interpretation of the incident on it...Read all!!

RINO asserts no vote fraud!--MUST see!-----How The California Recall Election Will Affect The Republican Party : NPR
NPR's Rachel Martin talks to conservative columnist Jonah Goldberg, editor-in-chief of The Dispatch, about what the failed California recall election means for the momentum of the Republican party.
RACHEL MARTIN, HOST: ...Larry Elder was making claims of voter fraud in the days before the election. He did walk it back a little bit in his concession speech. But still, what are the implications of this line coming over and over again from the GOP?
GOLDBERG: It's suicidal. And we even saw going into the final home stretch of the recall, Donald Trump was talking about how the system was already rigged, the election had already been stolen. It's dishonest. It's a lie. But it's also just sand-poundingly stupid politics to tell your most ardent voters there's no point in showing up because the system is already rigged against you. But the fact that this is what so many of the base of the Republican Party want to hear, even though it is not in the political self-interest of the party, is a great example of the larger dysfunction that the Republican Party has got itself caught up in.

MARTIN: The House investigation into the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol is going on right now, despite efforts by GOP leaders to undermine it. When you talk about the built-in political price that the GOP will suffer for pushing this line about voter fraud when there isn't any, what about undermining the House investigation into an attack on the U.S. Capitol? I mean, is that something that the party will pay a price for in the midterms? Or does it not move Republican voters at this point?...Read all.

Biden Aide Yells at Reporters as They Shout Questions - Louder With Crowder
Biden Aide Yells at Reporters as They Shout Questions - Louder With Crowder:
Joe Biden, the most popular president ever and a guy "independent" "fact" checkers claim is in full control of his mental faculties, is speaking at the United Nations today. He's actually meandering his way through a speech as I write this. Courtney and I will have more on that later. Yesterday, Biden had a kibitz with United Nations Secretary-General Antnio Guterres. The press was assembled to promote it, but not to ask any questions. As you'll see, as a Biden aide freaks the f*ck out and shoos the reporters away as fast as she can.
