Hunter Biden’s interview on a Twitter Spaces live broadcast devolved into chaos after he was apparently disconnected from the line, and the host launched into a rant about his hands being “tied” on what he was allowed to ask the president’s son.

US may extradite Sam Bankman-Fried amid FTX collapse investigation
The U.S. and the Bahamas have discussed potentially extraditing former crypto billionaire Sam Bankman-Fried to the U.S. for questioning regarding the collapse of his company, Bloomberg reported Wednesday.
Bankman-Fried’s FTX collapsed from being a world-class crypto trading company to filing for bankruptcy last week. Bankman-Fried resides in the Bahamas, where the company is also registered. The top Democratic donor is facing burgeoning calls for investigation in the U.S.
He was on record stating it was a Ponzi scheme well before the collapse.
Well before the catastrophic collapse of his FTX cryptocurrency exchange, Sam Bankman-Fried told everyone what he was doing. He told them about his appetite for risk. He told them some crypto exchanges were “secretly insolvent.” Last year, when declaring his net worth to be an estimated $10 billion, he said it was in “mostly illiquid” assets. Even when Bloomberg’s Matt Levine suggested he was in the “Ponzi business” during an interview in April, Bankman-Fried didn’t disagree. “I think that’s a pretty reasonable response,” he said.
I see Madoff like jail time ahead.
RCMP head Brenda Lucki didn’t share her plans for other options before Emergencies Act invoked
The day before the federal government invoked the Emergencies Act, RCMP Commissioner Brenda Lucki had prepared notes advising cabinet there were other tools available and that police finally had a plan in place to address the Ottawa protests but she never delivered the message.
The country’s top Mountie made the admission during hours of testimony at the Emergencies Act inquiry on Tuesday in which she couldn’t recall key meetings during the protests; said she didn’t understand the role the Emergencies Act could play or the process Ottawa police were to follow to get more resources; and was unable to explain comments from meetings and text exchanges that she participated in.

Chinese President Xi Jinping accuses Trudeau of ‘leaking’ details of conversation to media
Chinese President Xi Jinping has accused Prime Minister Justin Trudeau of behaving inappropriately by leaking the substance of a conversation between the two leaders to the media.
The accusations came as the pair crossed paths in a public space in Bali, Indonesia, where both leaders are attending the G20 summit.
“Everything we discuss has been leaked to the paper; that’s not appropriate,” Xi told Trudeau through an interpreter.
I bet Junior hoped this staged photo-op would make him appear heroic, instead Xi comes across as a teacher dealing with an irritating attention seeking student.
Sickening that Justin sucks Xi’s dick on behalf of Canada’s China class by whining about still wishing to participate in China’s economic hegemony.
The Cdn Pool cam captured a tough talk between Chinese President Xi & PM Trudeau at the G20 today. In it, Xi express his displeasure that everything discussed yesterday “has been leaked to the paper(s), that’s not appropriate… & that’s not the way the conversation was conducted” pic.twitter.com/Hres3vwf4Q

Poland, NATO say missile strike wasn’t a Russian attack … Germany recommends strike against Warsaw
PRZEWODOW, Poland (AP) — NATO member Poland and the head of the military alliance both said Wednesday there is “no indication” that a missile that came down in Polish farmland, killing two people, was an intentional attack, and that air defenses in neighboring Ukraine likely launched the Soviet-era projectile to fend off a Russian assault that savaged its power grid.
“Ukraine’s defense was launching their missiles in various directions and it is highly probable that one of these missiles unfortunately fell on Polish territory,” said Polish President Andrzej Duda. “There is nothing, absolutely nothing, to suggest that it was an intentional attack on Poland.”
After spending billions, federal government doesn’t know if it’s reducing chronic homelessness: AG
Feds want to reduce chronic homelessness by 50% — but there’s scant data on progress
The federal departments tasked with curbing chronic homelessness in Canada don’t know if the billions of dollars in public money they’ve spent have helped to get people into homes, Canada’s auditor general reported Tuesday.
Auditor General Karen Hogan found that the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) and Infrastructure Canada have failed to collect sufficient data about their programs, which are designed to connect the most vulnerable people with homes.
These two agencies are largely responsible for delivering the federal government’s National Housing Strategy, which has a target of reducing chronic homelessness by 50 per cent by the 2027-28 fiscal year.
Antifa who threw Molotov cocktail into NYPD van during BLM protests is sentenced to six years in prison
The woman who threw a Molotov cocktail into a New York Police Department van during the George Floyd protests has been sentenced to six years in prison.
Samantha Shader, 29, was sentenced Tuesday by a judge in New York to 72 months after she was found guilty of throwing the device inside an NYPD vehicle occupied by officers in May 2020.
Announcing the verdict and the sentencing Tuesday, officials with the Justice Department and the NYPD called Shader ‘a violent criminal who crossed a line’ and who was ‘appropriately held to account.’
Mother of loser who joined ISIS murder cult and has spent about 30 minutes in Canada demands Ottawa free him from Syrian prison
Mother of Canadian detained in Syria accuses of Ottawa of shirking duty to help
OTTAWA – The mother of a Canadian man being held in northeastern Syria accuses the federal government of doing “precisely nothing” to secure his release.
Sally Lane is urging the Liberal government to send a delegate overseas to help free son Jack Letts and other Canadians detained in atrocious conditions.
Letts, who turned 27 this week, is one of several Canadian citizens among the many foreign nationals in Syrian camps run by Kurdish forces that reclaimed the war-torn region from the extremist Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant.
Letts has spent almost his entire life in the UK. They don’t want him either. The jerk’s parents were convicted under Brit terrorism laws of sending him money. He knew what he signed up for and is no babe in the woods.
Rex Murphy: Western premiers finally push back against Trudeau’s devastating agenda
It is not only Alberta Premier Danielle Smith who is taking a strikingly aggressive attitude towards the Trudeau government’s persistent hostility to the oil and gas industry — Scott Moe of Saskatchewan has also stepped into the ring. Both are plainly, without apology, saying “no” to net-zero, carbon taxes and hymns to windmills.
Murdoch tells Trump he will not back fresh White House bid – report
Rupert Murdoch has reportedly warned Donald Trump his media empire will not back any attempt to return to the White House, as former supporters turn to the youthful Florida governor Ron DeSantis.
After the Republican party’s disappointing performance in the US midterm elections, in particular the poor showing by candidates backed by Trump, Murdoch’s rightwing media empire appears to be seeking a clean break from the former president’s damaged reputation and perceived waning political power.
3 butchered bodies wash ashore in Acapulco, Mexico — as tourists lounge nearby
The butchered remains of three people washed ashore in Acapulco, Mexico, over the weekend — shocking beachgoers at the once-thriving holiday hotspot.
Gruesome photos show a body lying face-up on sun-soaked Condesa beach as tourists gawk and families wade in the water nearby.
I have no desire to visit Mexico for some reason.
Young people who detransition describe death threats, doxxing, intimidation, and being accused of ‘genocide’ from the ‘cult-like’ transgender community they turn their backs on
Young people who used drugs or surgery to change their gender but later regretted their procedures and sought to reverse them are warning of worsening abuse from the transgender community they’ve walked away from.
De-transitioners, as they are known, speak of online vitriol, doxxing, harassment and death threats after they made the tough decisions to exit what they describe as inward-looking and even ‘cult-like’ trans groups.
Tensions between trans activists and de-transitioners spiked this month at a meeting of Florida’s medical board, where sex change interventions for children were restricted. Insults were hurled, bomb threats were posted online.
Anti-racism attacks my American Dream
Why do Democrats condemn hardworking immigrants?
What was I — a lifelong Democrat — doing at an election watch party in rural Virginia, surrounded by Republicans? As Ron DeSantis, 800 miles away, filled a huge TV screen with a post-landslide victory speech, he provided part of the answer: “We chose education over indoctrination!” He got a raucous round of applause from the crowd at the Marriott Ranch, in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Even I joined in.
Ted Cruz: Anyone involved in FBI investigation against Israel should be fired or impeached
U.S. Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas), member of the Senate Foreign Relations and Senate Judiciary Committees, responded to news that the Biden administration seeks to open an FBI investigation into the death of Al Jazeera journalist Shireen Abu Aqleh.
Sen. Cruz said: “Joe Biden and his administration view Israel and Prime Minister-elect Benjamin Netanyahu as political enemies, and so they are responding to them the way they respond to all their political enemies: by unleashing the FBI. Our Israeli allies have, since the very beginning, cooperated closely with the United States in investigating this incident, and the State Department and Defense Departments had already drawn their conclusions.”
