[NYPOST] Forgive the profanity, but you have got to be s—tting us.
First, The New York Times
...which still proudly displays Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize... decides more than a year later that Hunter Biden’s business woes are worthy of a story. Then, deep in the piece, in passing, it notes that Hunter’s laptop is legitimate.
"People familiar with the investigation said prosecutors had examined emails between Mr. Biden, Mr. Archer and others about Burisma and other foreign business activity," The Times writes. "Those emails were obtained by The New York Times from a cache of files that appears to have come from a laptop abandoned by Mr. Biden in a Delaware repair shop. The email and others in the cache were authenticated by people familiar with them and with the investigation."
Authenticated!!! You don’t say. You mean, when a newspaper actually does reporting on a topic and doesn’t just try to whitewash coverage for Joe The Big Guy Biden ...46th president of the U.S. Sleazy Dem mschine politician, paterfamilias of the Biden Crime Family... , it discovers it’s actually true?
But wait, it doesn’t end there. In October 2020, The Times cast doubt that there was a meeting between Joe Biden and an official from Burisma, the Ukrainian gas company for which Hunter was a board member. "A Biden campaign front man said Mr. Biden’s official schedules did not show a meeting between the two men," The Times wrote, acting as a perfect stenographer.
Yet in the latest report, published Wednesday night, The Times said the meeting likely did happen. Biden had attended the dinner in question. Funny how this works when you don’t just take someone’s word for it.
In the heat of the presidential race of 2020, The Times never missed a chance to cast doubt on the laptop, saying the information was "purported" and quoting a letter from former Democratic officials who claimed — with no evidence — that it was Russian disinformation. As recently as September 2021, The Times called the laptop "unsubstantiated" in a news story.
Why was it unsubstantiated? Because of willful ignorance and The Times curious lack of curiosity. Hunter’s business partner Tony Bobulinski came forward immediately after The Post’s reports and confirmed that the emails bearing his name were legitimate. The Bidens didn’t even deny it was true! They just deflected, with the media’s help, saying it was a dirty trick or not a story. Mostly, the press just ignored it.
Now we’re 16 months away from the 2020 election, Joe Biden’s safely in the White House, and The Times finally decides to report on the news rather than carry the Biden campaign’s water. And they find that hey, Hunter Biden’s business interests benefited from Joe Biden’s political status to a suspicious degree. Perhaps this is a topic worthy of examination.
How did The Times "authenticate" the laptop? It doesn’t say. Unlike The Post’s reporting, which detailed exactly how we got the files and where they came from, The Times does a hand wave to anonymous sources. No facts have changed since fall 2020. They knew the laptop was real from the start. They just didn’t want to say so.
There’s never any shame with these 180s. Sorry that we wrote a "fact check" that turned out to be bull! Sorry we wrote a piece claiming something wasn’t a story and you were stupid for thinking so!
Twitter banned us for supposedly publishing "hacked materials" that weren’t hacked. The company’s CEO apologized, but by that point they had accomplished what they wanted. Like The Times, they cast enough doubt to avoid making their preferred candidate look bad.
Readers of The Times have discovered in March 2022 that Hunter Biden pursued business deals in Europa ...the land mass occupying the space between the English Channel and the Urals, also known as Moslem Lebensraum... and Asia, and may have leveraged his father’s position as vice president to do it. Hunter also may not have properly registered with the government nor declared all his income. All legitimate topics of discussion about a presidential candidate’s family, no?
Readers of The Post have known this since October 2020. We also have a much better sports section. We’ve authenticated it.

/\ Even if well, he'd be a very poor prospect. Of course he wouldn't have to actually run an election campaign. At least if his 2020 campaign fiction was any indication.

Ben Smith in NY Times, November 2021: "a threadbare, 11th-hour effort to produce a late-campaign scandal that Murdoch's own WSJ [refused to follow up on]."
These are the liars who are trying to goad us into setting off World War 3 for Zelensky and Hunter Biden's Ukraine

The new Dem line is that the laptop shows personal stuff that is irrelevant except for some minor technical violations of FARA (foreign Agent Registration Act) and maybe a minor violation of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act but that these are administrative issue.

I'm going to double-down on Brandon's 'pictures of nekkid people sleeping is bad' law is for this laptop.

It's hard for truth to emerge from behind the Iron Curtain of the left-wing MSM corporate media--it's so Communist. Telling the truth anymore is a revolutionary act.

Does Jojo's weird comments about naked pictures have a linkage to the NYT times laptop admission? Some kind of opening defense that everyone has blackmail worthy pictures, and nothing to see here?
#16
If you acknowledge that the laptop is legitimately Hunter talking about being Joe's bag man for Chinese bribery, how can you not impeach. The narrative that it is fake was the only thing preventing articles of impeachment, if the discussion centers on the Big Guy statements rather than the nudity or crack and sometimes the nudity and crack.

No point until the Republicans have two thirds majorities in both houses of Congress to ram the thing through, Super Hose. (So glad to see you commenting again — it’s been a while.) Otherwise it is merely posturing while doable things don't get done.

I am not suggesting that the politicians push impeachment. Citizens should push impeachment in the same way that they are pushing decertification in Wisconsin and Arizona. Citizens are walking the GOP politicians back into a corner and see which ones are not really up to doing hard stuff. also Joe has a really bad approval rating. Also reminding independents that Joe was on the take from the CCP may drop Joe's approval by another 10 points. There is a red line where Nancy will take Joe out by herself. I am sure they already have a plan for removing him. It is time for us to sweep the leg and drive his approval down on their secret internal polling.
It is good to be back.

It suggests that they has come to a modus vivendi with the Cackle-Jackal because and the damage is too great to survive a mid-term tsunami that puts the GOP in positions to really gut their power, and, find the criminal linkages to destroy a lot of the Swamp Elites. Better to blunt the damage, hang all the mess you can on the senile old thief-in-chief, and Play the POC/feminist defense game for whatever breathing space you cane buy while you try to crank up the voterfraudmobile...

#20 "mid-term tsunami that puts the GOP in positions to really gut their power"
Your lips to God's ears. There are a lot of battles going on. It is hard to tell how they might come out.
1. Redistricting,
2. Decertification of 2020 results,
3. The Dan Schultz precinct strategy,
4. Purge the Pub Party of Rinos,
5. Run as many MAGA candidates as possible,
6. Go to court where necessary.
7. Dem policies that suck help a great deal to
make the Pub case (if the Pubs can get past a
hostile left-wing media. They have developed
alternative social media and Twitter type and
websites.
8. School board strategy to gain control by
parents of what content is taught in schools.
9. Reforming the voting process to prevent the
rigging of elections.
The left is fighting like hell all along the way. Gas prices, border issues and inflation have hurt the middle class and the poor and will hurt the left at the ballot box.
[Breitbart] President Joe Biden’s deputies are taking $377 million from GOP-run heartland states to aid landlords in four Democrat-run states that use illegal migration to inflate their economies, according to a report in the New York Times.
White House officials have already pressured governors in states to shift $875 million for poor renters into urban districts, the newspaper reported March 16, adding:
Now they are going one step further, pulling back [$377 million in] cash from states with relatively few tenants — like Montana, Nebraska, South Dakota and Wyoming — or localities that failed to efficiently distribute the aid, including Alabama, Arkansas and several counties in Texas.
The money, in turn, is being diverted to four states that burned through their allotted amounts — with $136 million in additional aid headed to California, $119 million to New York, $47 million to New Jersey and $15 million to Illinois, according to a spreadsheet provided by a senior administration official. North Carolina, Washington and other localities will be receiving smaller amounts.
“This is better … But it’s a pitiful drop in the bucket compared to what we need,” said Rep. Ritchie Torres (D-NY) told the New York Times.
“There’s just no question that immigration adds a lot more poor people to some states, who then need rent assistance, who drive up the cost of lower-income housing,” said Steven Camarota, the research director at the Center of Immigration Studies.
By encouraging migration, he said, “you create the political pressure for more assistance to low-income people to afford housing in the same way that immigration adds a lot of uninsured people to the country and so it creates a lot of political pressure to create Obamacare … We know that about a fourth of all low-income children in America live in immigrant households.”
Many states have inflated their local economies and locally funded businesses by welcoming many legal and illegal migrants. This use of migrants, however, has suppressed wages and inflated rents, leaving the states with growing populations of poor Americans and immigrants. Roughly one-third of the nation’s low-income renters live in the high-migration, high-rent states.
The GOP’s establishment wing has helped to create this economic shift away from red states. However, some GOP legislators are pushing back against the wealth transfer. They include Rep. Lance Gooden (R-TX), Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ), Rep. Jim Banks (R-IN), Rep. Kat Cammack (R-FL), Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX). Rep. Mike Johnson (R-LA), Rep. Madison Cawthorne (R-NC), Rep. Beth Van Duyne (R-TX), and Rep. Paul Gosar (R-AZ).
Overall, the federal government’s policy of extracting migrant workers, consumers, and renters from foreign nations for use in the U.S. economy has shifted vasts amount of investment and wealth wage-earners to investors and from heartland states to the coastal states. That wealth transfer has also reduced the heartland states’ political and cultural status.
This migration-fuelled economic divide is also occurring within states, such as Texas, where housing funds were transferred from lower-migration districts to urban renters. The New York Times reported the $875 million transfer in January:
Arizona officials agreed to shift $39 million to the state’s largest county, Maricopa, while Georgia moved about $50 million from its allocation to Fulton and DeKalb Counties in the Atlanta area. The biggest single shift took place in Wisconsin, where Gov. Tony Evers, a Democrat, agreed to move about $110 million to county and city officials in Milwaukee, according to the Treasury Department.

That has been the blue state's scam for decades. Extract wealth from the red areas to prop up their far left spending ideas. Trump was the first to try to upset that applecart and they got rid of him for it.
With the 2022 and 2024 elections, along with more republican governors, that gravy train is rapidly coming to an end.
