Hunter Biden Facilitated Deal for Democratic Consultants Now Under Federal Investigation

Emails from Hunter Biden’s laptop show he was instrumental in setting up a consulting deal between a Ukrainian energy company and two Democratic consultants under investigation for violating foreign lobbying laws.

Biden and colleagues at the private equity firm Rosemont Seneca helped Burisma Holdings hire Blue Star Strategies, a firm owned by former Clinton administration officials Sally Painter and Karen Tramontano. Biden’s emails show he played a bigger role than anyone had known in arranging Blue Star’s consulting work for Burisma. Neither Biden nor the Blue Star founders registered their work under the Lobbying Disclosure Act or the Foreign Agents Registration Act.

Baltimore Tea Party? Businesses Refuse to Pay Taxes as Public Safety Crashes

When I lived in Baltimore I used to joke that Charm City, as the city called itself, should be honest and drop that first “c.” Harm in the form of violent crime was terrible and it was everywhere. There were open-air drug markets and the mid-sized city with so much history and such great potential was often the murder capital of the United States. This was the day of the infamous “Stop Snitchin’” DVD warning against going to police to inform against criminals or for any other reason.

America’s Overdue to Unfriend Mark Zuckerberg

The tech boss is finally being recognized as the American villain he is, rather than the folk hero he’s tried to present himself as.

Many have understandably applauded Facebook’s decision to ban former President Donald Trump from the site for the next two years, but the ability of a company to decide who should be in the public square, which the social network has effectively become, raises troubling questions about the future of our tattered democracy.

The decision was announced by Nick Clegg, the former deputy prime minister of the United Kingdom who’s now the vice president of global affairs at the social network, but there’s no question that the final call here belonged to Facebook’s co-founder, chairman, CEO, and controlling stockholder.

Vaccination status cards may be the ticket to reopening the Canada-U.S. border

EDMONTON — As pressure mounts on the Canadian government to reopen the land border with the U.S., experts say incentivizing Canadians to become fully vaccinated by providing greater freedoms and less restrictions to those who are is a good place to start.

“We know from evidence and experience the world round that two weeks beyond a full vaccination status, the risk of transmitting this virus is next to zero,” Dr. Abdu Sharkawy, infectious disease expert, told CTV’s Your Morning Wednesday.

People Fleeing Collapsing Economies of Blue States Advise Those Who Remain: ‘Start Making Better Decisions on Who You Vote For’

According to the National Association of Realtors, an estimated 8.9 million people have relocated to Florida from states like New Jersey, New York, and California since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. As the economies of these states continue to crumble under the stress of continued lockdowns and other destructive policies, fleeing former residents offer advice to those who remain: “Start making better decisions on who you vote for.”

According to the website move.org, Florida was the number one relocation destination for Americans in 2020. New York and California took first and second place in the contest for being the states the most people chose to leave.

No one will care about the Hunter Biden N-word scandal

He’s the President’s son, not some anonymous high-schooler — so he gets a pass!

Newly published text messages from Hunter Biden reveal that Hunter Biden…is an American with actual freedom of speech! How lucky for him! He might be the last one.

The Daily Mail, one of the last publications willing to publish interesting things about Democratic US presidents, has published several unflattering messages between Biden and his lawyer George Messires. In the messages, Biden says a bunch of things that would be a big story if he were literally anybody other than the son of a Democratic president.

An unlikely genome sequence is evidence that COVID-19 leaked from a lab, two U.S. experts say

 

A natural emergence is still possible, but COVID-19 has a genetic footprint that has never been seen before in a natural coronavirus and suggests the virus originated in a lab, say two U.S. experts.

Dr. Steven Quay and Richard Muller made the assertion Sunday in an opinion piece in the Wall Street Journal and based it on the genomic sequencing patterns of COVID-19 and large discrepancies in its genetic diversity compared to the other coronaviruses responsible for SARS and MERS.

U.S. withdrawing Trump executive orders that sought to ban TikTok, WeChat

President Joe Biden is withdrawing a series of executive orders that sought to ban new downloads of WeChat and TikTok and ordering a new Commerce Department review of security concerns posed by those apps, the White House said Wednesday.

The administration of former President Donald Trump had attempted to block new users from downloading the apps and ban other technical transactions that Chinese-owned TikTok and WeChat both said would effectively block the apps’ use in the United States. The courts blocked those orders that never took effect.

Keystone XL pipeline project cancelled by TC Energy after over a decade of delays

CALGARY – TC Energy Corp. is walking away from the Keystone XL pipeline project, ending a decade-plus battle that pitted the energy industry against environmentalists as oilsands producers sought to export Canadian crude.

Construction on the pipeline was suspended earlier this year after newly elected U.S. President Joe Biden fulfilled a campaign promise to cancel its presidential permit in January.

TC Energy last month took a $2.2-billion writedown on the cancelled project, which pushed the company to a loss in its most recent quarterly earnings.

The Poisonous Fruit of Appeasing Iran’s Mullahs

The Poisonous Fruit of Appeasing Iran’s Mullahs

Iran is continuing to exploit the Palestinian issue to promote its expansionist schemes in the Middle East and meddle in the internal affairs of Arab countries, including Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, Yemen and Bahrain.

Iran is doing so while its representatives continue to conduct indirect negotiations with the US administration in Vienna on reviving the 2015 “Iran nuclear deal,” which Iran never signed.

Diplomats from Britain, France and Germany who are negotiating with the Iranians seem oblivious to the growing concern in the Arab world over Tehran’s support for terrorism and its ongoing intervention in the internal affairs of several Arab countries.

Fastly, the cloud-computing company responsible for the issues, said the bug had been triggered when one of its customers had changed their settings.

The outage has raised questions about relying on a handful of companies to run the vast infrastructure that underpins the internet.

Fastly apologised and said the problem should have been anticipated.

One for the road: German troops bringing back 65,000 beers, 340 bottles of wine from Afghanistan

German troops won’t let a single drop of booze go to waste as they withdraw from Afghanistan.

About 65,000 cans of beer and at least 340 bottles of wine are being shipped back home as German forces exit the country, according to Der Spiegel magazine.

The logistical undertaking stands in stark contrast to the fact that German troops reportedly are leaving some military equipment behind as they exit Afghanistan.
