How the FBI & intelligence community discredited factual information about Hunter Biden’s foreign business dealings both after and *before* The New York Post revealed the contents of his laptop on October 14, 2020
Days after US Secretary of State Antony Blinken reaffirmed the Biden administration’s commitment to the “two-state solution,” the Palestinians responded by repeating their rejection of the idea and their support for more terrorism against Israel.
The Palestinian response came through a public opinion poll published on December 13 by the Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research and statements by the Palestinian Islamist group Hamas that controls the Gaza Strip.
The poll found that 69% of Palestinians believe that the “two-state solution” is no longer practical or feasible. Another 72% believe that the chances for the creation of a Palestinian state alongside Israel in the next five years are slim or nonexistent.

Foreign Affairs Minister Melanie Joly says Canada will try to seize and forfeit US$26 million, or about C$36 million, from a firm owned by Roman Abramovich.

It’s quite the eye-catching headline: “Covid May Spread From Corpses, Studies Say.” New York Times COVID reporter Apoorva Mandavilli is back, the author of yet another alarmist COVID story.
When the shock wears off, and after one notes that the study it’s based on has yet to undergo peer-review, the bottom line is pretty simple: Don’t handle corpses, it might be bad for you, in case you didn’t know that already. And then there’s yet another big Mandavilli math error in the direction of alarmism.
Independent voters doubt President Joe Biden’s mental fitness and believe he is too old to be president, a Harvard/Harris poll found over the weekend.
The poll asked respondents, “Is Joe Biden mentally fit to serve as President of the United States or do you have doubts about his mental fitness for office?”
WASHINGTON — Former President Donald Trump should face criminal charges for his actions in connection with last year’s Capitol riot, according to the House select committee investigating the events of Jan. 6, 2021.
The bipartisan panel recommended the Justice Department charge the 76-year-old Trump with insurrection, obstruction of an official proceeding, making false statements to investigators, and conspiracy to defraud the US government, after discovering the former president pushed claims he knew were false about the 2020 presidential election.
The girlfriend of disgraced FTX founder Samuel Bankman-Fried reportedly cooperated with federal officials, it was revealed, shortly after he was arrested in the Bahamas in connection with the collapse of his crypto empire.
Former U.S. attorney Marc Litt, who was involved in prosecuting Bernie Madoff, joined “Fox & Friends Weekend” Sunday to discuss the report alleging Alameda Research CEO Caroline Ellison worked with officials in relation to the charges.
“It wouldn’t surprise me at all,” Litt told Will Cain regarding the report. “She was the CEO of a company that seems to be intimately involved in the alleged fraud, and she’s… in the cross-hairs of the government… and she’s got a choice to make.”
A single trumpet plays the opening notes of The Last Post through the spacious funeral home, freezing the handful of people waiting. That includes the soldier clutching the urn.
The sombre song is a key part of military ceremonies, but there’s nothing traditional about this moment.
In June, Joseph Hildebrand, a 33-year-old Canadian veteran, left his Saskatchewan home to help Ukraine fight the Russian invasion.

Known as the Nostradamus of the Balkans, Baba Vanga, who died 25 years ago in 1996 aged 84, made five terrifying prophecies for 2023 before her death.
The Bulgarian mystic, who left predictions for every year up until 5079, envisaged disastrous solar storms, bioweapons testing on humans, Earth’s orbit to shift, a nuclear explosion, and an end to natural births in 2023.
The massive convoy of demonstrators that rolled into Ottawa this past winter loudly heralded a new era in Canadian politics, with blaring horns and the rumble of hundreds of idling engines.
The weeks-long “Freedom Convoy” protests in Ottawa and the kindred demonstrations that appeared at provincial legislatures and international border crossings aimed to force governments to end COVID-19 public health restrictions and vaccine mandates.
All I can say is that the selfish git had better hang in there, or else I’m going to be very miffed with him. Or, to take another line, I’m a bit worried, but I’ve known people who’ve gone through worse and lived and thrived for a very long time afterwards. I can’t hit the right note here.
OTTAWA — While the Royal Canadian Air Force plans to add more control over how fighter pilots get their call signs, a senior officer says there are no plans to abolish the nicknames — or the social gatherings where they are handed out.
… Exactly what form that structure will take remains uncertain, but Huddleston said one idea is to have a senior member in the room who will not drink and whose job is to control the group.
“Someone has to be there to be able to say: ‘Hey, this is stupid, knock it off,'” he said.
Puma in Action – each vehicle comes with own carrier
Germany’s armed forces, the Bundeswehr, has been experiencing serious technical problems with its Puma infantry fighting vehicles, according to a report in Der Spiegel magazine on Saturday.
After a training exercise involving 18 state-of-the-art Puma infantry fighting vehicles, not a single one was left operational, the report said.
The situation has caused a stir in the Defense Ministry because the vehicles are supposed to participate in NATO’s spearhead Very High Readiness Joint Task Force next year.
Is Germany’s military unfit for action?

OK, that’s pretty bad, they better hire more cross dressers.

The Canadian Security Intelligence Service has alleged Alireza Onghaei took part in “foreign influenced activities … that are detrimental to the interests of Canada and are clandestine or deceptive.”
Of course the LPC is infested …
Yesterday @StewGlobal and @scoopercooper broke a story about Alireza Onghaei, whose money exchange operation in Toronto is, according to CSIS, used by the Iranian regime to funnel money to Canada (for unknown purposes.)
