The real deal regarding Hunter Biden

Hunter Biden is not just the son of VP Joe Biden, but a highly accomplished individual long before his father became VP. He graduated law school and was appointed by GW Bush on the board of Amtrack. He started several hedge funds and lobbying groups. The man has been very well paid by several companies and is currently married to a South African film maker.

Apparently, the current attempt by Trump to smear Joe Biden's campaign in connection to his son Hunter has no merit.

Private number

I do not know why the telephone company in my country has a private number service. Private number means when a call is made it does not leave a number on the phone screen or recents or any where else.

Thank you Democrats. The Democrats united the Trump and Bush wings of the party

Let's hope that this is the last time that we go through this.

Like many of you, I caught bits and pieces of Blasey Ford and Judge Kavanaugh on Thursday. Overall, I'd say that Kavanaugh won the day.

My problem with Blasey Ford is her story. Something happened but she does not where or when. She can't prove beyond a reasonable doubt that it was Kavanaugh that night. She thinks it was but no investigation can be done on the basis of this shallow story.

Gladly, we live in a country where we don't destroy people for fuzzy memories from 30-something years ago.

As for Judge Kavanaugh, he closed the deal with a very heartfelt presentation. I kept looking at his wife and feeling so sorry for her and their two daughters. Yes, time will pass, but these girls will be haunted forever. Is it too much to think that some college professor out there will talk about "Kavanaugh the gang rapist"?

At this point, the people who say that they believe Blasey Ford are making a partisan statement. They have no evidence to draw that conclusion. Blasey Ford is probably a nice lady, but her story does not add up.

At the end of the day, it was Senator Lindsey Graham and Senator Jeff Flake who put him over the top. Graham's remarks were powerful. Then Flake was contacted by former President George W. Bush.

So what did the Democrats do on Thursday? They looked foolish and united the Trump-Bush wing of the party. Thank you, Democrats.

The United States of America...REALLY!

That declaration I have never truly understood. To me, United is (One). Here in the (United States) each state determine their own laws...etc. Maybe I am way off in my thought...The laws should cover The United States of America...the reality is each state has their rules...HOW is that United? Bring your opinions on!

Straight mean people.

I am so sick of Sexist, Racist, Homophobic, and Transphobic people.
I thought so much that Quebec was bad, but it seems at times, that the hate for those issues are absolutely everywhere I turn.
It's so wrong, and so bad and I'm so sick of it.
My point - why can't certain people let others live their lifestyle how they want to. It's so Sad.

The real history of the Taliban - They were NOT the Mujahadin, for one thing.

THis is a twitter thread that talsk about the real history of Afghanistan and where the various factions came from from. I think people might enjoy some real history from an exert in the area.

Taliban Thread 1/

Now as Taliban are taking over Afghanistan (again) we need to look at Taliban. Some are saying the Taliban kicked out the Soviet Union from Afghanistan (totally untrue). So let's do this properly. Who are the Taliban vs Mujahideen vs Pashtu vs Afghan.. yeah :-)

Today on Twitter we see noise from people new to Twitter trying to argue their viewpoints. I've FREQUENTLY discussed problems of Afghanistan like this in ... YEAR 2011 ten YEARS ago
3/

I have visited 117 countries in my life so far. I have not yet been to Afghanistan. But I've been to its neighbor, Pakistan & Pashtu region, which borders Afghanistan. I've met many Afghans. I received this Pashtu traditional kurta as a gift (photo in Malaysia)
4/

There are Maganutters, War-mongering Repulsicans and Saudi bots on the rampage now, attempting to extinguish the Saudi connection to the Taliban. So this Thread is necessary. We need to understand. But we go to the beginning. That is the only way to understand

5/

The most valuable road for human economic history, for over 3,000 years was the Silk Road, or more accurately Jade Road. It connected the largest landmass, Eurasia, where most of the planet's population live, allowed Europe to trade with China, & all in middle
Taliban Thread 6/

Silk Road is not one road, it is a series of roads. One side-road leads to India. That road goes through the mountains, through the ONLY pass, called Khyber Pass. This was the most valuable choke point until the modern shipping. Was the 'Suez Canal' of its age
Taliban Thread 7/

As Khyber Pass was the only mountain pass to India, you can imagine it was a rich opportunity for bandits. Those enterprising land pirates became known as the Pashtu. Draw a circle 100 miles around this pass, you have region the size of the state of Virginia
Taliban Thread 8/

So for CENTURIES, the Pashtu people were known to collect their fees from travellers on the Silk Road. And nobody was able to take this region from them. Literally, none of the great empires ever succeeded from Alexander the Great to Genghis Khan.
Taliban Thread 9/

That gives a firm foundation to build a warrior nation. The Pashtu. They are Muslim, but not like neighboring Iran, who are Shia, the Pashtu are Sunni Muslim, so they align with Saudi Arabia and against Iran. Bear this in mind, with the propaganda parrots
10/

In the last 200 years, the main Empires that faced off, on both sides of the Khyber Pass were the British Empire (in India, South) and the Russian Empire (North). Afghanistan emerged as the buffer nation between these two. It is 5 miles West of the Khyber pass
11/

Afghanistan is far larger than the Pashtu region, about the same size as Texas in area. But HALF of Aghan population are Pashtu. There is no other dominant ethnic group, so Pashtu people get to rule Afghanistan. Afghanistan population is about 32 million
12/

From the early 1800s, the rulers of Afghanistan have played The Great Game, pitting Russian & British rulers against each other & temporarily siding with whoever was the weaker

Pashtu are EXPERTS at pretending to be on your side, while being on their OWN side

Trump’s DC Judge Worked For Law Firm That Employed Hunter Biden, Lobbied For Burisma

U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan of Washington, D.C., the judge overseeing former President Donald Trump’s case in the district, previously worked at a law firm that once employed Hunter Biden and worked closely with Ukrainian energy firm Burisma.

Chutkan spent 12 years working for Boies, Schiller, & Flexner LLP (BSF) where she specialized in white collar litigation and antitrust defense, before she was nominated to her current position by former President Obama, her official bio states.

Chutkan worked at other private sector law firms and served as a public defender in Washington D.C. prior to her tenure at BSF. She graduated from George Washington University and the University of Pennsylvania law school.

“Perhaps as important as all the skillsets that she has, she is a person of just consummate decency,” Don Flexner said in December 2013 when Chutkan was nominated, the Legal Times previously reported. “I think she will be a welcome addition to the bench in Washington.”

Hunter Biden worked for BSF in the same year he was appointed to Burisma’s board in April 2014. Hunter quickly brought BSF partners into the fold to assist Burisma with its efforts to influence U.S. officials, according to emails on Hunter Biden’s laptop.

In April 2014, Hunter Biden and business associate Devon Archer spoke about how BSF could give them “protection” and work with government officials on Burisma’s behalf.

“BSF can actually have direct discussions at state, energy and NSC. They can devise a media plan and arrange for legal protections and mitigate US domestic negative press regarding the current leadership if need be,” Biden told Archer.

“The contract should begin now- not after the upcoming visit of my guy. That should include a retainer in the range of 25k p/m w/ additional fees where appropriate for more in depth work to go to BSF for our protection. Complete separate from our respective deals re board participation,” Biden added.

Shortly after his correspondence with Archer, Biden set up a call with BSF partners including Christopher Boies and Heather King, the emails show.

King communicated with the State Department on behalf of Burisma founder Mykola Zlochevsky and strategized with Burisma on how to handle the press and influence government officials, emails from May 2014 indicate. She suggested Burisma hire professional lobbyists, a PR firm and an investigative research firm to bolster its influence operation, per the emails.

Trump was indicted Tuesday in Washington, D.C. by Department of Justice (DOJ) Special Counsel Jack Smith for allegedly interfering in the 2020 presidential election and his alleged involvement in the Jan. 6th, 2021 Capitol riot. Trump announced the indictment on Truth Social right before the news broke.

“This is nothing more than the latest corrupt chapter in the continued pathetic attempt by the Biden Crime Family and their weaponized Department of Justice to interfere with the 2024 Presidential Election,” the Trump campaign said in a statement.

“President Trump will not be deterred by disgraceful and unprecedented political targeting!”
