Hunter’s $49,900+ “rental payment” revisited (and UNBOUND)!
” Hunter Biden’s $49,910 rent payment is the same exact amount of money he received from a rental deposit linked to his business venture with CEFC China Energy Co…..”

And from the “Some People Will NEVER Get It” File:
“In Mexico Relationship, Biden Prioritizes ‘Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion’ Over Immigration and National Security;
“Meeting with Mexican president comes amid record migrant encounters and escalating cartel violence”—
https://freebeacon.com/biden-administration/in-mexico-relationship-biden-prioritizes-diversity-equity-and-inclusion-over-immigration-national-security/
Opening graf:
‘President Joe Biden passed up a chance last week to press his Mexican counterpart about the unprecedented border crisis and escalating cartel violence. Instead, he chose to discuss “diversity, equity, and inclusion” and “climate change” initiatives….’

“…passed up a chance…”?
Huh?
What kind of journalism be this?
(This writer of this OMIGOSH column really needs to get with the program…)

+ Bonus:
“Biden touts rising wages, but misleads on the cost of inflation;
“Biden suggested food prices were falling in a recent tweet when they have actually soared since he took office.”—

Yep, President Shiva is on a roll…doing what he does BEST!

Here’s an interesting one:
A whistleblower—a Florida Democratic Party election official—calling out ANOTHER Florida Democrat on Electoral fraud…
(Only in Florida, I guess…Sunshine State, Land o’ Gators ‘n Pythons…)
“Florida elections office has no oversight for ballots or chain of custody, whistleblower alleges;
“Orange County Supervisor of Elections office is in violation of state law governing chain of custody and transportation of ballots, alleges Brian Freid, former SOE Information Systems Director.”—
https://justthenews.com/accountability/whistleblowers/florida-elections-office-allegedly-has-no-oversight-ballots-chain

Of interest because it contains ALL the systematic abuses, ALL the trimmings…though AZ seems to have come up with a few innovative ones…(convenient! So that ALL ye’ have to do is apply them to other states)!

Peter Zeihan is not just the flavor of the month. His claims keep bobbing true to the surface in the news. He gets there first in a comprehensive way.

China’s population fell for the first time in six decades last year as the nation’s population of 1.4 billion declined by about 850,000.

Short term, this is just a blip on the radar. But China also is afflicted with a rapidly aging population, which means that China is very likely to get old before it gets rich.

“China’s demographic and economic outlook is much bleaker than expected. China will have to adjust its social, economic, defense and foreign policies,” said demographer Yi Fuxian.

As I’ve commented here before, it is really a shame that many–perhaps almost all–of our primary institutions have proven themselves untrustworthy.

Can a country function well under these conditions?

If citizens can no longer trust their government, where does that–sooner or later–lead?

We are quickly devolving from being a very unique and rare “high trust” country that worked, into to a all too common low trust country–as–to one degree or the other– most of the rest of the world is, and that increasingly won’t work.

Snow on Pine: I think we knew that early on, whether they admitted it or not. That's where the expression dying of COVID versus dying with COVID came from. Very very early on I recall reading about someone who died in a motorcycle accident testing positive for COVID and being listed as a COVID death.

According to the linked article below, the CDC was issuing phony COVID scare statistics.

As I understand it, by lumping in deaths and hospitalizations of those with some other primary injury or illness–but who happened to test positive for COVID (95%)–with those whose primary diagnosis was COVID, and who were hospitalized for and who died from COVID (5%).
