-Lurid Crime Tales-
Hunter Biden Says He Lost *ANOTHER* Laptop to Russian Drug Dealers in Naked Pillow Talk
This guy makes Epstein's clients look like a bunch of school boys.
[Breitbart] Hunter Biden claimed during a post-coital conversation with a woman identified by the Daily Mail as a prostitute that Russian drug dealers stole his laptop (not the one abandoned to a Delaware computer repair shop) during a Vegas bender where he nearly drowned in a hotel hot tub, according to footage unearthed by the tabloid.

Lucky people get off with more warnings and less trouble than they deserve.

#15  Abu Uluque, I haven't watched the video but I suspect this was a honeytrap and the ladies handlers set up the video. The real question is why didn't anyone prevent Hunter from having a second laptop in the first place. At the very least they should have set up some kind of Chromebook where the laptop itself had no content, that way Hunters handlers could cut off access quick if he lost another one.

#16  the ladies handlers set up the video

It's one of Hunter's kinks. When the abandoned laptop was first revealed, it was shown that Hunter had his own pron channel (don't remember which one but one could pay to view) of his recorded escapades with prostitutes.

-Great Cultural Revolution
Virginia school board approves controversial transgender policy
More Loudoun County School nonsense can be seen here.
[FoxNews] A northern Virginia school board voted Wednesday evening to approve a new policy expanding the rights of transgender students.

In what was seen as a victory for LGBTQ advocates, the Loudoun County School Board approved the policy by a 7-to-2 vote following hours of debate and after minor amendments were made.

"LCPS’ number one priority is to foster the success of all students and ensure they feel safe, secure, accepted, and ready to learn at school," Loudoun County Public Schools said in a statement. "The school division will continue to do its due diligence in creating that environment and remaining open and transparent with all LCPS partners, community members, and stakeholders."

Policy 8040 requires teachers to use preferred pronouns and allows "gender-expansive and transgender students" to participate in sports and other activities "in a manner consistent with the student’s gender identity."

It also allows transgender students access to school facilities that correspond to their "consistently asserted gender identity."

The policy follows Virginia law, which directed districts to consider revised anti-harassment guidelines.

On Wednesday, School Board Member Jeff Morse denounced the guidelines, according to FOX 5 of Washington D.C.

"The policy is not needed. The policy does not solve the issues that it's purported to solve. The policy has forced our focus out of education and I will not support it," Morse said.

Wednesday’s meeting was sparsely attended -- a contrast with the board meeting Tuesday when parking lot rallies were held and a public comment period went over four hours. Nearly 200 people came inside to speak.

The meeting length prompted the school board to postpone its decision until Wednesday.

Tuesday's meeting came just a few months after physical education teacher Tanner Cross denounced the policies. Cross told the school board he wouldn't "affirm that a biological boy can be a girl and vice versa because it's against my religion. It's lying to a child, it's abuse to a child, and it's sinning against our God."

His subsequent suspension and lawsuit poured fuel onto an already fiery debate over free speech and identity in one of the nation's wealthiest counties, located about miles 35 miles west of Washington D.C.

Moment sobbing Loudoun County teacher quits in protest over CRT lessons
More Loudoun County School Board nonsense can be seen here.
  • [Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News] Laura Morris was a fifth grade teacher at Lucketts Elementary School in Leesburg, Virginia

  • On Tuesday night she quit in front of Loudoun County School Board in a tearful protest at their policies

  • She accused the school board of forcing her 'to push highly-politicized agendas on our most vulnerable constituents – the children'

  • Morris also spoke out against forms which she said teachers were encouraged to fill in, reporting their colleagues if they criticized the teaching program

  • Loudoun County is at the forefront of the culture wars sweeping U.S. schools

#4  Making education a state activity gets you the same thing making municipal sanitation a gummint activity does. Piles of stinking garbage overdue to be picked up. Outlaw public schools. sell the property. Outlaw teachers' unions. Make anyone with a union card go through an arduous re-education camp to even be eligible for rejection from teaching in the future.

#5  Saint FDR (8/16/1937) -

"All Government employees should realize that the process of collective bargaining, as usually understood, cannot be transplanted into the public service. It has its distinct and insurmountable limitations when applied to public personnel management. The very nature and purposes of Government make it impossible for administrative officials to represent fully or to bind the employer in mutual discussions with Government employee organizations. The employer is the whole people, who speak by means of laws enacted by their representatives in Congress. Accordingly, administrative officials and employees alike are governed and guided, and in many instances restricted, by laws which establish policies, procedures, or rules in personnel matters.

Particularly, I want to emphasize my conviction that militant tactics have no place in the functions of any organization of Government employees. Upon employees in the Federal service rests the obligation to serve the whole people, whose interests and welfare require orderliness and continuity in the conduct of Government activities. This obligation is paramount. Since their own services have to do with the functioning of the Government, a strike of public employees manifests nothing less than an intent on their part to prevent or obstruct the operations of Government until their demands are satisfied. Such action, looking toward the paralysis of Government by those who have sworn to support it, is unthinkable and intolerable. It is, therefore, with a feeling of gratification that I have noted in the constitution of the National Federation of Federal Employees the provision that "under no circumstances shall this Federation engage in or support strikes against the United States Government."


He was talking about Federal Employees, to be clear, but the same could be said for all public trough employees.

#6  By putting their focus on targeting White women, the Left confirms that they were 100% successful in getting all (but mostly White) men purged from public schools, while their female counterparts stood by silently and let it happen because they were too busy getting their "you go girl, rah-rah" dopamine fix being fed to them by the media and the unions. Now the crosshairs are on them and suddenly it's a crisis. Too little too late. The publics school system is irrevocably broken.

Kathy Hochul's huge challenge as New York's next gov
[NYPOST] Faced with universal demands for him to step down and clearly unable to govern, Gov. Andrew Sonny Cuomo
...Dem dynastic governor of Noo Yawk, the son and heir of the late Mario Cuoma and formerly married to a Kennedy. Acclaimed for his leadership during the COVID epidemic, he managed the nation's highest corpse count while successfully hiding the returns and writing a book praising himself. Among the nation's horniest politicians, he has about a dozen allegations of sexual harrassment and groping against him. Noo Yawk's politix being what they are, he is still hanging tough, waiting to ride it out....
did the only sane thing: He tendered his resignation. Good riddance. Now Lt. Gov. Kathy Hochul will take over at a key moment for the state.She’s largely unknown and untested — but good signs abound: The Buffalo native has called herself "an independent Democrat" and got her start in politics as an aide to Rep. John LaFalce and the late, great Sen. Pat Moynihan, both independent-minded liberals.

When then-Lt. Gov. David Paterson took over in 2008 after a prostitution scandal forced out Gov. Eliot Spitzer, he’d served in the state Senate for decades, including as minority leader. Hochul has years in local government, a term in Congress and seven years as Cuomo’s rarely consulted LG. (Ironically, she led the gov’s "Enough is Enough" sexual-assault-prevention initiative.)

"As someone who has served at all levels of government and is next in the line of succession, I am prepared to lead as New York State’s 57th Governor," she tweeted Tuesday. She’s also visited all 62 of the state’s counties every year as LG.

Yet she will preside over a state facing soaring crime and a post-COVID economy struggling to recover, with a disastrous rent-relief program and a leadership void at key agencies such as the Metropolitan Transportation Authority.

Enormous fiscal challenges lie just down the road, and next year’s race for governor will only add complexity.

Worst, she must face down radicalized politicians whose agenda — yet more anti-cop measures, raising taxes further and yet more irresponsible state spending and bank-busting programs like single-payer health care — would be disastrous.

Her first order of business, of course: Clean house at the Capitol’s Second Floor, removing Cuomo loyalists, especially those linked to his numerous scandals. But she’ll also need to assemble her own trusted team all across state government.

Paterson managed to see the state through the rocky recovery from the 2008 recession; Hochul may face an even heavier lift. New Yorkers should wish her well.

Kamala Harris Discussed 'Complete Opening' of the Southern Border With Mexican President
[TRENDINGPOLITICS] According to Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, he and Vice President Kámala Harris
Former Oakland mayor Willie Brown's former mistress, then a senatrix from California, and then a former 2020 Dem presidential hopeful. She dropped out because she was polling in negative numbers because of racism. Her father is a Marxist professor emeritus at Stanford and her mother is an Indian of the Hindoo tribe. She is reputedly the proud descendant of a long line of women. Joe Biden picked her for her skin tone, feeling she could also bring in the Native American, women's, and bimbo votes. She's an outstanding exemplar of the Peter Principle, proudly displaying her level of competence in her handling of the Biden Border Surge
talked about "the complete opening" of the 2,000 mile border between the United States and Mexico. The announcement comes after the border has been closed to non-essential travel between the two contries.

Obrador tweeted, "We spoke again with Kamala Harris, Vice President of the United States. In good terms, we dealt with the immigration issue, the complete opening of the northern border to reactivate our economies and continue with mutual cooperation to face the pandemic."

"The White House said the two leaders discussed ongoing bilateral cooperation to address ’irregular migration’ to the shared U.S.-Mexican border, and agreed to focus on bolstering Central American economies through investment in agriculture and climate resilience," Rooters reported, adding, "The U.S. vice president also told Lopez Obrador that Washington was committed to sending additional doses of COVID-19 vaccines to Mexico, on top of the 4 million doses already delivered, the White House said."

Lopez Obrador told a morning news conference earlier that day, "This is what I’m going to suggest today, that we can demonstrate that we’re not putting the population at risk."

Back in March of 2020, the Trump administration closed the southern border to limit the spread of COVID; Acting Secretary of Homeland Security, Chad F. Wolf wrote:

U.S. and Mexican officials have mutually determined that non-essential travel between the United States and Mexico poses additional risk of transmission and spread of COVID-19 and places the populace of both nations at increased risk of contracting COVID-19. Moreover, given the sustained human-to-human transmission of the virus, maintaining the current level of travel between the two nations places the personnel staffing land ports of entry between the United States and Mexico, as well as the individuals traveling through these ports of entry, at increased risk of exposure to COVID-19.

Andrew Cuomo joins long list of big New York political scandals

Noo Yawk's politix being what they are, he is still hanging tough, waiting to ride it out....
joins a club of scandal-scarred New York politicians that is neither small nor exclusive.

The Democrat said he will step down on Aug. 24 — with more than a year left in his third term — amid threat of impeachment and multiple investigations into the slew of sexual harassment allegations against him, as well as his handling of nursing homes during COVID-19 and his $5.1 million book deal on the pandemic.

#5  I like Doug Ose better. In a recent debate they asked the candidates how they could get anything done with all the donks in Sacramento. Ose was the only one who seemed to know what a governor can do in spite of the donks. He rattled off the names of state commissions and, of course, the state Board of Education whose current members are pushing Critical Race Theory. The people who sit on these boards and commissions are appointed by the governor, he said. So the guy has spent some time actually thinking about what he can and will do if elected.

Elder's only advantage, as far as I can tell, is statewide name recognition from his books, podcasts and talk shows.

Wyoming GOP County Parties Start Bailing on Liz Cheney With Trumpian Send Off: 'You're Fired!'
[TRENDINGPOLITICS] County-level Republican parties in Wyoming are beginning to abandon Rep. Liz Cheney
...Faux Republican hereditary congresswoman-for-life from Wyoming. She has been described as Republican royalty. A staunch Never Trumper, Liz supported the second impeachment of Donald Trump for his role in the 2021 storming of the U.S. Capitol. Publicans dumped her from her leadership position in May 2021. Refusing to admit that she had trashed her own career, Cheney has said that she intends to be the leader... in a fight to help to restore our party and that she may be interested in a future presidential run....
ahead of the 2022 midterm primaries over her ongoing criticism of former President Donald Trump
...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and whatever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States...
and her participation in the select Jan. 6 Committee.

"In the immortal words of the 45th President of the United States of America, Donald J. Trump ...’You’re Fired!'" said letters sent recently to Cheney from GOP officials in Park and Carbon counties.

The state has 23 counties, most of which are very rural. Because of the state’s low population, Wyoming has just one congressional seat.


While the votes from the two counties are symbolic, they represent a growing displeasure from state party officials at Cheney.

But Cheney has come under fire from statewide Republicans since she voted to impeach the former president earlier this year, as calls to primary her rose. They increased again after she agreed to serve on House Speaker Nancy San Fran Nan Pelosi
Congresswoman-for-Life from the San Francisco Bay Area, born into a family of professional politicians. On-again-off-again Speaker of the House. It's not her fault when they lose, but it's her accomplishment when they win. Noted for her heavily botoxed grimace and occasional senior... uhhh... moments...
’s select committee looking into the origins of the Jan. 6 breach of the U.S. Capitol Building, which many Republicans believe is a partisan entity that is meant to legitimize a pre-determined conclusion that Trump was responsible for it.

The county GOP letters also come after the state Republican Party voted overwhelmingly to censure Cheney in February for her impeachment vote.

And in May, congressional Republicans voted, again overwhelmingly, to remove Cheney as chair of the House Republican Conference, the No. 3 position within the party in that chamber, after she kept up her critique of Trump and continued to blame him for the Capitol breach.

You won't have Gov. Andrew Cuomo to kick around anymore
That’s ok. We don’t need to kick those who deserve it if they would just take themselves where they can’t do kick-worthy things anymore. If only he hadn’t been around to kick a year ago or more, how much happier we’d all be.
[AMERICANTHINKER] Andrew Sonny Cuomo
...Dem dynastic governor of Noo Yawk, the son and heir of the late Mario Cuoma and formerly married to a Kennedy. Acclaimed for his leadership during the COVID epidemic, he managed the nation's highest corpse count while successfully hiding the returns and writing a book praising himself. Among the nation's horniest politicians, he has about a dozen allegations of sexual harrassment and groping against him. Noo Yawk's politix being what they are, he is still hanging tough, waiting to ride it out....
announced yesterday that he’s resigning as governor of New York because he loves the state and it’s clear that he’s in the way. Since I think very little of the man, both as a person and a politician, the fact that he’s leaving seems like good news. However,
a lie repeated often enough remains a lie...
it’s very likely that, by pulling out now, he’s sparing himself and his minions a criminal investigation into the 15,000 old people who died last year when he insistently warehoused COVID patients into retirement communities. Also, considering who’s already lining up to take his place, New York may find itself going from the corrupt Democrat frying pan into the equally corrupt communist fire.

#1 

Listen to his All Over The Map Exit Speech.

Buried deep in it was about 45 seconds of him actually saying he was resigning.

Surrounded by with something like 10 to 12+ minutes that sounded like a College Football coach doing poorly delivered "Win for the the Gipper" routine.

Basically, he resigned to avoid Criminal indictment and Impeachment.
Both of which would have likely barred him from future NY / USA Political Offices until pardoned by the next Liberal in Office.

Now he just has to pay some hush $$$ or have some threats made to keep his Political Meal Ticket viable.

Texas House Speaker Signs 52 Arrest Warrants For Absent Democrat Lawmakers
[DAILYWIRE] Texas House Speaker Dade Phelan (R) officially signed civil arrest warrants for 52 House Democrats who refused to show up for another special legislative session, thereby keeping the session from proceeding.As The Washington Post reported:

Phelan front man Enrique Marquez said warrants were signed for 52 Democrats who failed to return during the fifth day of the House’s second special session, leaving the chamber eight members short of a quorum.

The move by Phelan comes after the Texas Supreme Court
...the political football known as The Highest Court in the Land, home of penumbrae and emanations...
overturned a ruling Tuesday "by a Travis County district judge that blocked them from ordering the arrest of quorum-busting Democrats, who were in Washington, D.C., for about a month," KXAN reported. "Democrats who are arrested would not face criminal charges and could not be tossed in the clink
Yez got nuttin' on me, coppers! Nuttin'!
or fined. Law enforcement officers carrying out arrest orders by state officials could only try to bring them to the House chambers."

"The Supreme Court of Texas swiftly rejected this dangerous attempt by Texas Democrats to undermine our Constitution and avoid doing the job they were elected to do," said Renae Eze, an Abbott spokeswoman. "We look forward to the Supreme Court upholding the rule of law and stopping another stall tactic by the Texas Democrats."

A little deeper thinking.

Now that their have fled TX. doesn't that mean they have violated Title 18 section 1073 of the U.S. Code, “unlawful flight to avoid prosecution.”

Interstate flight to avoid Prosecution carries a hefty fine and/or imprisoned of up to five years.

Question now is. Will the US Marshall Office by allowed by the Junta run DOJ to uphold the law against Democrats?

#5  US Marshals go after actual bad guys. I personally don't want them wasting their dangerous time on these lightweights.

Senate passes amendment banning federal tax dollars from teaching CRT
[NYPOST] The US Senate has voted to pass an amendment in the $3.5 trillion budget reconciliation package that bans federal funds from being used to teach Critical Race Theory

...teaches that skin color is the most important characteristic of any person, which translates to separate but equal with a different bunch in charge. All whites and Asians are born racist and racism permeates every aspect of society, which should be dismantled and the remains turned over to the kind of dipshit who pushes this nonsense...
in schools, Sen. Tom Cotton says.The Arkansas Republican introduced the Stop CRT Act last month in a bid to prevent federal tax dollars from being used to teach the "indoctrinating" theory in K-12 classrooms.

The Senate approved Cotton’s amendment 50-49, according to Fox News.

"They want to teach our children that America is not a good nation but a racist nation," Cotton said on the Senate floor ahead of the vote.

"Those teachings are wrong and our tax dollars should not support them."

Cotton called CRT an "un-American ideology."

"My amendment will ensure that federal funds aren’t used to indoctrinate children as young as pre-K to hate America.

#3  One day I was in the checkout line at the grocery store and the person in front of me was having what I call a bad transaction - in this case trying to use coupons that did not apply to the purchases being made. When it was my turn, the cashier said "I'm really sorry about the wait." I said, "I'd rather have to deal with stupid people than have to deal with being stupid myself." She smiled big time and said "I never thought of it that way. That makes my day!"
