-Lurid Crime Tales-
Hunter Biden's Corrupt Shell Company Named After Deceased Mother's Birthplace; Map Tattooed on His Back
Hunter Biden
...son of President Joe: cashiered from the Navy, a crackhead, wheeler dealer, leg humper, horn dog, and general all around ne'er do well. We're supposed to feel sorry for him...
appears to have named his corrupt, Chinese-linked shell company Skaneateles after the town where his deceased mother was born — a map of which Hunter also has tattooed on his back, according to images from his laptop.

Skaneateles is the name of a town in New York State between Rochester and Syracuse. Skaneateles means “long lake,” which is a part of the Finger Lakes in central New York State.

Through an entity named Skaneateles, Hunter reportedly profited from orchestrating the sale of an American-owned cobalt mine in the Democratic Republic of Congo for $2.65 billion.

Chinese investors, who have close ties to the Chinese Communist Party, a transnational organized crime group, have reportedly ended up with a majority stake in the mine due to Hunter’s efforts.

On Sunday, Breitbart News reported Hunter’s involvement in divesting the United States of energy resources by peddling his government connections:

The transactions concluded with China Molybdenum owning 80 percent of the mine — a classic tale of the elites benefiting from the United States’ managed decline.

Hunter’s company reportedly obtained a ten percent share in the mine, which he sold to China Molybdenum from a Washington company named Skaneateles — which he also owns a stake in.

Skaneateles reportedly still owns a stake in BHR, though the Times reported Hunter “no longer holds any interest, directly or indirectly, in either BHR or Skaneateles,” according to Hunter’s lawyer Chris Clark.

It is unknown how much money Hunter profited from the corrupt deal, but CNN reported Hunter is under FBI investigation for money laundering in likel

-Signs, Portents, and the Weather-
Pete Buttigieg insists he is NOT thinking about running in 2024 - despite having a six-point higher favorability than Biden and a 12-point lead over Kamala Harris, according to new poll

#5  Sure, but Donald Trump is polling significantly better than all of them at this point.

#6  From the Washington Examiner:

In what would be one of the biggest political comebacks in American history, former President Donald Trump has surged into a double-digit lead over President Joe Biden in the latest 2024 matchup poll.

In today’s Rasmussen Reports survey, likely voters picked Trump to beat Biden, 45% to 32% if the election were held today, a gap that is even higher among independents who have become the critical swing group. They chose Trump 47%-20%.

Rasmussen reported a sizable number of voters who want someone else, at 17%, and just 6% said they were on the fence. Also: 15% of Democrats said they’d vote for Trump compared to 8% of Republicans who’d pick Biden.

Added the poll analysis, "Only 69% of those who say they voted for Biden last year would vote for him again if the election were held today. Eight percent (8%) of Biden’s 2020 voters would switch to Trump, who would get 83% support from those who voted for him last year."

#7  Only 69% of those who say they voted for Biden last year would vote for him again

According to unreliable sources, 100% of the people who voted after 4 am local time would totally vote Anyone But Trump again.

#3 


If liberals practiced what they preach.
The W.H. handlers would have had Biden
hosting Thanksgiving meals for the Homeless on the W.H. front lawn.

Many Christian groups and families here in Mid-Eastern GA., plan to take Hot Meals and blankets out for the homeless today.

BTW: we have noted most Homeless tend to be in Democrat ran towns and cities.

#9  I'm not sure how comforting a ramble from Biden would be to the families still waiting in hospitals, or preparing to bury their dead. And though typically one sends the Veep when you can't go yourself, I doubt that maniacal laughter would go over well either.

Not trying is probably the right choice.

Joe Biden insisted, "Just drug it!
The boat's running late
And I think we should wait
Until Hunter can get here to pluck it."

#10  Seems like there was a lot of miscounting in quite a few states (sarc). Dems need to quit pushing Communist CRT and focus on the 3-Rs. In addition, IMO the Dem Party ought to be scuttled as a criminal organization.

Comrade Down: Senate Forces Biden to Dump OCC Nominee, Lenin Scholar
She was too toxic even for some Dems (who seek re-election)
[FreeBeacon] Five Senate Democrats told the White House late Wednesday they will not support Lenin scholarship recipient Saule Omarova to serve as Comptroller of the Currency, nuking her chances to serve as the country’s bank regulator.

The Democrats—Sens. Jon Tester (D., Mont.), Kyrsten Sinema (D., Ariz.), Mark Kelly (D., Ariz.), Mark Warner (D., Va.), and John Hickenlooper (D., Colo.)—join all Senate Republicans in opposition to Omarova, who came under scrutiny over her proposals to use the banking system to "bankrupt" the oil and gas industry and her education in the Soviet Union. Axios reported Wednesday that the Democrats informed the White House they will not support Biden's nominee.

The failed nomination marks a major setback for progressives, who championed Omarova over her criticism of big banks and fossil fuel companies. Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D., Mass.) hailed Omarova’s nomination as "tremendous news." The left-wing Sierra Club touted Omarova as a bulwark against "climate chaos" and hoped she would set up "guardrails against Wall Street's risky fossil fuel investments."

Omarova faced questions about her academic history throughout the confirmation process. Omarova in recent years scrubbed her resume of references to a thesis she wrote about Karl Marx while studying on a Lenin scholarship at Moscow State University in the 1980s. Omarova disavowed the thesis at her confirmation hearing this month, but said she did not have a copy of the document.

Omarova was arrested in 1995 on charges she stole $214 in merchandise from a T.J. Maxx store in Madison, Wisc., where she was studying for her doctorate degree.

#1  They'll nominate someone else who will try to implement the same policies. And I wouldn't worry about Comrade Omarova. They'll find a place for her where she doesn't have to undergo any scrutiny.

Irony On Steroids: Hillary Laments People Not Being Held Accountable for Their Actions
[PJ] The Leftist political elites, they are not like you and me. Hillary Clinton, who is the very model of the modern Leftist politician who is above the law, falsely claimed in connection with her illegal use of a private email server while secretary of state, that she "never received nor sent any material that was marked classified." She faced no legal consequences for that. Her team may have been involved in the Trump Russian collusion hoax, but even if it was, it is certain that Hillary will pay no penalty.

Rumors swirl around her regarding the strange fates of so many of her political foes, making her notorious for evading all the consequences of her actions; even if all the rumors are 100% false, they circulate because what we know for certain about her gives even the most fantastic story a veneer of plausibility. Hillary herself, however, displaying the audacity and imperviousness to irony that has marked her career, made it clear in an interview Tuesday that she was the one who was worried about people not being held accountable.

She is, in fact, worried about more than just that. "I do think," she told MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow, "that we are facing a crisis of democracy, a crisis of legitimacy, a crisis that really goes to the heart of what the future of our country and many others around the world will be." This is, of course, more red meat for the blue rubes, as anyone who looks at our current predicament in the United States honestly will quickly realize that the "crisis of democracy" doesn’t come from the Jan. 6 non-insurrectionist "insurrectionists," although they are likely the people Hillary had in mind. Nor does it come from Donald Trump supporters or the "white supremacists" whom the Biden administration claims are the nation’s foremost terror threat, despite never getting around to actually committing any terrorist acts.

We have drugs to treat anxiety, etc. Are there drugs that can _induce_ suicidal depression?
Posted by: james || 11/25/2021 15:38 Comments || Top||

#5  ^ Most drug treatment professionals consider withdrawal from benzodiazepines to be more dangerous than alcohol or opiate withdrawal for exactly those reasons.

#6  Are there drugs that can _induce_ suicidal depression?

Several of the birth control prescriptions do that. And then it takes up to a year for the stuff to leave the woman’s system after stopping.
