Sandbox -25oct20

[That our news media have no desire to follow-up the Hunter Biden email revelations of Biden family corruption is a bigger untold story than anything else so far connected with this sordid affair.  And that includes the (non)response of the FBI and the 50 former intelligence officials' successful attempt to disseminate fake news about the provenance of the emails on Hunter's laptop (here).  As far as our lamestream media are concerned, the US is now officially a banana republic in how its citizens are fed 'information' that they are to believe.  And no one, not the Republicans nor Fox News, is making much beyond clucking their tongues at what appears to be a super-scandal stillborn.  gjr]

Carbon capture again? How much did "O"&co. Piss away on that malarkey?

Nice try Joe, you have been caught on tape way to may times saying how you will end the oil industry.

Wind and solar? Oh Yaaa.... That's working out SO WELL here in Ca. How many states do you plan on paving over with solar panels? How many birds do you plan on killing?(a week)

You seem to be on an island in this issue (Bidens family). Not even Trumps own DOJ (Barr) nor the FBI take it seriously as you have noted. Have you considered that the whole thing just might be fake or bullshit to use a popular descripto? After all it has been propagated by Giuliani who is not exactly noted for his veracity.

Since promoting that seems to be a waste of time, which is running out, what do you think Trumps next best tactic should be to turn this thing around? Later today I'll provide a polling update to document how slim Trumps chances appear to be.

Donald Trump is currently being sued and investigated by numerous individuals and law enforcement agencies, and his lawyers have been able to successfully hold these lawsuits off while he's president. But if Joe Biden wins in November, all of these cases will suddenly lurch forward, and the President will no longer have an excuse as to why he can't be prosecuted. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains what's going to happen.

Paul 10:29 - "Have you considered that the whole thing just might be fake or bullshit to use a popular descripto?"
Yes, Paul - we all (conservatives) consider anything like this at first to be a possible fake.
Left, right or center. Doesn't matter.
But there is the fact that the FBI does not consider it fake or they would have charged the computer repair guy.

The question remains for Paul - have you ever considered that the whole Democrat-led pile of lies about Trump being in cahoots with Putin to overturn an American election is 'bullshit' (to use a popular expression)?

[George Rebane]

PaulE 1029am - I guess you didn't hear 1) DNI Ratcliffe announce that the intelligence community (including the FBI and CIA) could not connect the emails to Russian influence, or 2) that other recipients of copies of the emails have stepped forward with their evidence, or 3) that witnesses to the Bidens' participation have now gone public, or 4) that the Bidens have not denied ownership of the laptop, nor its chain of custody, or 5) that the Bidens have not denied the authenticity of the (now several copies of the two tranches) of emails.

Nor have you paid much attention to the way the leading lights of your corrupt profession, the one held in the lowest public esteem, has not only failed to pursue the veracity of this story, but have actively launched a partisan cover-up operation of historic proportions.

I wonder how you came to remain so insular to all the country's happenings, and why you continue to consume only outlets that are part of this conspiracy of censors. (I use 'conspiracy' since there is plenty of evidence of that as shown in, say, the Tucker Carlson broadcasts of video catalogs full of examples of radical leftwing correspondents on different outlets all using identical descriptors and phraseology to characterize their party-line assessments of this and other stories. Their coordinated destruction of the Fourth Estate is something to behold, especially for those of us who are students of journalism and have taught its practitioners at the graduate level.)

Sorry George, nothing to see there, but keep trying out there in Desperation City!

"A month before the 2016 presidential election, WikiLeaks released hacked emails from John Podesta, Hillary Clinton’s campaign chairman.

Last week, The New York Post published an article featuring emails from a laptop purportedly owned by Hunter Biden, son of the Democratic presidential nominee, Joe Biden. The emails, about business dealings in Ukraine, have not been independently verified.
So how did cable news treat these two caches, which were both aimed at Democratic candidates during the heights of their presidential campaigns?
The answer: Fox News is giving more airtime to the unverified Hunter Biden emails than it did to the hacked emails from Podesta in 2016, according to an analysis from the Atlantic Council’s Digital Forensic Research Lab, which studies disinformation."

re D 1109am - This comment is an excellent illustration of the ever-enlarging Great Divide. Another reason dialogue between the two sides has become futile is that each has their own definition of and criteria for the verification of evidence. In short, this piles on to my standing assertion that not only can each side have its own opinions, but also its own unique facts, history, values, ethics, mores, ... . For example -
https://www.theepochtimes.com/sharyl-attkisson-special-interests-behind-dangerous-social-media-fact-checks_3551125.html

This is valuable knowledge, especially for those still seeking to convince the other side of their errors - an enterprise that has proven to be as profitable as relieving oneself over the weather-side gunwale.

Gloom? Why gloom…..? Trump…whether he connects on a Hail Mary or not got three Supreme Court justices and (as you pointed out repeatedly, oversaw the appointment of hundreds far less ideological judges through the system than would have been appointed under a Hillary Clinton administration.) rolled back oodles of useless artery clogging regulations (Hi Steve…!) that if re-implemented will rapidly choke back the fabulous green economy that Joey Fingers has promised but won't be able to deliver. This all in an environment of tighter non-discretionary spending!

Gloom…..the next four years are going to be awesome from Schadenfreude standpoint!

Only a proggy protectionist is still going with the "unverified" line of crap. Plenty of verification, and none from "unnamed" sources. Better get on the ball Dung,(or Dung Ball ) But that's why you look like a real idiot here, because you listen to the proggy press.

[D]

She probably got paid to delete the tweets, or was it the NDA?

"The “Wrecking Ball” singer spills tea about Donald Trump’s children and claims she has receipts
Singer Aubrey O’Day has apparently had enough of the Trump family’s lying while out on the campaign trail.

The former Danity Kane member took to Twitter to post, and subsequently delete, about how Donald Trump, Jr. secretly dislikes his father and youngest brother, Barron, according to Refinery29.

O’Day apparently watched President Donald Trump criticize Hunter Biden, the son of Democratic nominee Joe Biden. The “Wrecking Ball” singer decided to put the Trump family’s contradictions on blast.

Refinery29, a media outlet tailored to young women, obtained a screenshot of O’Day’s now-deleted tweets and reported that one post included the following message:

“Since trump has now lowered this debate to trashing family.

– don jr HATES his father.

-ivanka is a lesbian on the low.

-eric f**ked miss universe on the apprentice board room table while with his now-wife. #Debates2020.”

The post included a gif with the message “I have the receipts.”

She would go on to tweet about Don Jr.’s disdain for Barron, Trump’s youngest child with First Lady Melania Trump, his third wife.

“And while we are at it.. I have texts of don jr telling me what a little shit asshole barron is.” O’Day wrote in a second tweet. “That they were on the private jet and barron didn’t like his food so he threw the plate across the plane at the attendant. NONE of these people are INNOCENT of being assholes & liars!”

O’Day has had close dealings with Donald Jr. years before.

She appeared as a contestant on the fifth season of ABC’s The Celebrity Apprentice in 2012, in which Don Jr. played an advisor role. During the taping, the two allegedly had an affair.

In 2013, O’Day released a song titled “DJT” that discussed having an affair with a married man. The man ultimately stayed with his wife. Since the title could be an acronym for Donald Trump, Jr., rumors of the affair began to surface.

According to People Magazine, O’Day admitted to the affair on an episode of MTV’s Ex on the Beach in 2019, calling him her “soulmate.”

"“It’s time to defund @NPR,” Gosart tweeted. “This is appalling. #DefundNPR,” Gosar wrote on Twitter."

#DefundNPR

Has a nice ring to it.

My wife and I often listen to NPR, and we were talking about it yesterday. My wife likes it more tha I do, and it rubs her the wrong way less often than her having to listen to Limbaugh or Sullivan because I have it on the radio... but NPR's damned news slant gets to her, too. Every hour of listening will have climate indoctrination and diversity/CRT indoctrination... everal times.

Now, defunding NPR doesn't mean I want it to go away... it just needs to stand on its own two feet. I recall an on air begfest 20 years ago where the talking head responded to a Libertarian (not me) decrying the lack of coverage, and the head beggar made a comment along the lines of "maybe if you paid up, we'd cover you fairly"... from then on, I've proudly not responded to begging from them.

#DefundNPR ... Damn, I like the sound of that.

" “The vice president is lying again,” he said. “Check out page 78 of our report, where we show a company, a Chinese company, CEFC, transferred about $5 million to businesses controlled by Hunter Biden, $5 million. So, no, he’s lying. He’s lying about the fact that he said he never spoke to his son Hunter about his overseas business connections, flew over to China, had a handshake with Jonathan Li, who ended up being a business partner in Bohai Harvest RST, which was that investment firm.”

“We documented Amos Hochstein talked to the vice president about the glaring conflict of interest in Ukraine. The vice president then talked to Hunter to arrange a meeting with Amos Hochstein. So, the vice president has been caught in repeated lies over Biden Inc. about his family’s businesses.”"

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/biden-voter-fraud-organization-video-gaffe
""We have put together, I think, the most extensive and inclusive voter fraud organization in the history of American politics," Biden said in the video."

Gotta love the admission of guilt.

[Walt]

Poor Dung.. Not keeping up with the facts?

And "O"&Co. allowed it. Like Clinton giving missile tech to China... Yup, you Commie bastards love selling out your own homeland.

"“You’re exactly right, Maria, and this is a big part, I think, of the missed story. This is not just a story about Hunter Biden and the family getting wealthy. It’s about Hunter Biden participating in Chinese efforts to acquire western technology. In particular, for example, there’s a company called Henniges out of Michigan that produces dual-use technologies that they have both military and civilian application, and they are anti-vibration technologies. Hunter Biden’s Chinese-funded investment firm partnered with AVIC, which is the largest military contractor in China, and they, together, acquired Henniges, this dual-use technology company in Michigan. It has clear military application.”

“That deal had to be approved by CFIUS,” he continued. “We know in the emails we’ve now obtained that they were involved in getting approval meaning Hunter Biden’s firm. We now know that once it was approved, they actually had a celebration of this technology transfer at the U.S. embassy with Chinese executives, with the participation of Hunter Biden’s partners, and it was a celebration and the man that was there Ambassador Max Baucus, former Senator from Montana is a long time Biden family friend. So let’s be clear this is not just about the Biden family becoming wealthy from these foreign partners. It’s about the Biden family participating in the transfer of U.S. technologies to China and getting paid for participating in that.”

If a FBI case number and the DNI saying no rancid russian dressing does not convince the TDS set Trolls and the Dark Lord of Liberal Lament Land nothing will -

Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, who said his staff reviewed and independently authenticated the purported emails from Hunter Biden’s laptop, told “Sunday Morning Futures” that “they’re as real as real can be.”

“We have the eyewitness, Mr. [Tony] Bobulinski, who said these are authentic, these are real,” Jordan, the top Republican on the House Judiciary Committee, said.

Bobulinski, who was listed as the recipient of an email published by the New York Post that appeared to detail a business arrangement involving a Chinese company and members of the Biden family, confirmed last week that the email is "genuine" and provided more information regarding the Bidens' role in the deal.

The email includes a note that “Hunter has some office expectations he will elaborate.” A proposed equity split references “20” for “H” and “10 held by H for the big guy?” with no further details.

"The reference to 'the Big Guy' in the much publicized May 13, 2017 email is in fact a reference to Joe Biden," Bobulinski said in a statement to Fox News.

Bobulinski said he is the CEO of Sinohawk Holdings, which he explained "was a partnership between the Chinese operating through CEFC/Chairman Ye and the Biden family." He said he was brought on as CEO by Hunter Biden and James Gilliar, who was listed as the sender of the email.

Bobulinski went on to say he does not believe Joe Biden's past claim that he and Hunter did not discuss his son Hunter's business, claiming that Hunter "frequently referenced asking him for his sign-off or advice on various potential deals."

Vote baby vote -

Democrat presidential candidate Joe Biden cut off a Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, television reporter on Saturday who was attempting to ask a question about his son, Hunter Biden.

WYOU reporter Andy Mehalshick began saying, “Questions and controversy continue today about Hunter Biden, your son,” before Biden jumped on him:

WYOU’s question came as the Journal reported on Thursday about a former Biden business associate, Tony Bobulinski:

An ex-business partner of Hunter Biden, in a news conference organized by the Trump campaign, alleged that former Vice President Joe Biden was part of discussions around his son’s efforts to form an investment venture with a Chinese oil company. …

In a statement to reporters Thursday, Anthony Bobulinski said that in 2017 Hunter Biden consulted his father about a planned venture with Chinese oil company CEFC China Energy Co. to invest in the U.S. and elsewhere. Mr. Bobulinski was also a partner.

The venture—set up in 2017 after Mr. Biden left the vice presidency and before his presidential campaign—never received proposed funds from the Chinese company or completed any deals, according to people familiar with the matter. Corporate records reviewed by The Wall Street Journal show no role for Joe Biden.

'AOC: Democrats Must Take Senate To Avoid Having To Be Bipartisan, I Will Push Biden Further Left'

"Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) blasted the American ideal of being bipartisan on Sunday, calling it “Republican manipulation,” adding that if Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden is elected that she will push him further left."

BT 6:21 - Lord love her:
"...and we have the unique, frankly, once-in-a-generation opportunity to have the White House, the Senate, and the House majorities Democratically-controlled, then I believe we have an obligation to the American people to show what a Democratic administration can actually accomplish, and that we can govern, and that we can truly have leaps in policy that people can feel in their everyday lives that makes voting Democratic worth—not just worthwhile, but a memorable shift from just a flatline of this idea of bipartisanship, which often just becomes Republican manipulation.”

"It's definitely not the first time this has happened, but during a critical opportunity to appeal to young voters from the safety of his basement (Joe and Dr. Jill Biden were making a brief appearance during the "I Will Vote" livestream) Biden stumbled and appeared to forget President Trump's name, awkwardly referring to him as "my opponent" before stammering out "George Bush"."

By Reuters
MOSCOW — Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Sunday that he saw nothing criminal in Hunter Biden's past business ties with Ukraine or Russia, marking out his disagreement with one of Donald Trump's attack lines in the U.S. presidential election.

Putin was responding to comments made by Trump during televised debates with Democratic challenger Joe Biden ahead of the Nov. 3 election.

[George Rebane]

re D 744am - It seems that Putin and the Dems agree on such ties. Putin's gang of oligarchs has been making such "business ties" for almost 30 years now.

[scenes]

"It seems that Putin and the Dems agree on such ties."

Evidently, although Putin would be horrified by other Biden family activities. No doubt the FSB has a file cabinet filled with Hunter Biden Hijinks. I'd be happy to post some stills. Lucky that Good Ol' Joe kept his son's 'friendliness' with an underage family member on the down low, hate to see that get out.

As usual, we see a sort of mirror image.

Trump made his children rich. (the US model)
Biden's children made him rich. (the Chinese model)

re: [email protected]:58 October 26, Year Zero.

It still has a 50:50 smell to me, don't be surprised with either outcome. Paul, like most 'newsmen' reports only the news he approves of.

I have to admit that in a Biden triumph, it'll be funny watching them point the nutrient tank containing a crooked old perv at the crowd. Hard to say if he'll know what the occasion is beyond the snacks promised for later. The Blue Mob will roar in approval, the DOJ will memory-hole a whole buncha matters, life goes on. There's a great deal of ruin in a nation.

Even a Trump victory probably just puts off the inevitable. Nations that lack an existential threat tend to become not-nations over time. By the time China gets more kinetic, the remaining locks, stocks, and barrels will be largely controlled by them in any case. That's the beauty of the financialization of a country, patriotism and ownership receive a divorce.

Come on out, "no voter fraud" Emery, Look what I found.

https://www.breitbart.com/the-media/2020/10/26/nolte-new-york-times-accidentally-confirms-breitbarts-voter-fraud-reporting/

"The far-left New York Times accidentally confirmed all of the voter fraud reporting we’ve done here at Breitbart News."

"The Times article is 1300 or so words long and not a single word — not one — is utilized to point out a single fact in a single one of our voter fraud reports that we got wrong.

The Times went through 30 articles we published on voter fraud — thirty! — and could not come up with a single misreported fact, a single example of fake news, or anything we reported that was misleading or deceptive."

Care to comment Emery? Or is the 420TH Nevada City Cricket division going to make the excuses?

Polling update

There is no Trump surge. Biden up by 7.8 in RCP consensus polling. that's about the same number he's held wince July 6, going up or down a point or two here and there. There has been no Trump Bump like there was in'16

https://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2020/president/us/general_election_trump_vs_biden-6247.html

Also in the all important battle ground states Biden is up by 4 including leads of 8 in Michigan and six in Wisconsin. He's up to 49.5 which matches his best numbers ever. Remember, he has to win virtually all the tossups because he's so far behind in delegates.

https://www.realclearpolitics.com/elections/trump-vs-biden-top-battleground-states/

In the State by State delegate look first starting with the overall consensus count at 270towin which shows Biden with 279 and Trump with 134 with 134 tossups. What that means readers is that Trump has to win ALL the tossups plus flip 20 committed to Biden to eke out a win.

https://www.270towin.com/maps/biden-trump-polling-map

All in all Biden is holding strong with a week to go with no movement for Trump in any consensus polling available. Also Biden is ahead of Hillary at this date and has an 87% cchance to win according to Nate Silver which gave Hillary a 73% chance.

https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/2020-election-forecast/

All in all pretty grim. Looks like his stolen hard drive scheme to smear Bidens family is going nowhere and is a DUD. Word is his staff is starting to pack their stuff and the shredders are going full blast.

All for now. Thanks for reading and I'll be back with updates as they appear.
