Damn......... John Fogerty of CCR. I had a portable record player when I was young and one of the few records I had was CCR's Cosmos Factory. I played that record over and over till I wore out the grooves.

Anyway, Fortunate Son was not on that album, but I remember listening to it on CKLG. I so miss those days......... there will never be such memorable times like the 60's and 70's. From the 80's on, the world just went to hell.

Well, she's not wrong but the map is showing a breakdown of cases by County in the US and by Province in Canada. It's a bit misleading...

True, and provinces are huge. But if you split the provinces up into county-like sizes, the 'red' would just move to the hottest spots. Funny enough, they would all be right along the border, making Canada look even more clear on the map

There’s no cases where no one lives? That’s weird. I’m glad I get all my information from misleading twitter posts and memes.

1. They didn't make copies?
2. Why couldn't they scan and e-mail them
3. Ever have a shipping company care so much about a lost package? He claims the shipping companies security team interviewed every single employee who touched the package and searched every plane, truck, and building from top to bottom. Ever have a shipping company try that hard to find a missing package?

Sounds like B.S. to me.

Speaking of Hunter Biden and nepotism, this is still going on as we speak:

https://slate.com/news-and-politics/...r-edition.html

Some salient points from the article, notably about Ivanka:

• A little more than two months into her father’s presidency, she was awarded three new trademarks for her lifestyle brand in China on the same night she happened to sit next to Chinese President Xi Jinping during an official dinner at Mar-a-Lago. In 2018, she was awarded seven new trademarks that just happened to coincide with her father promising to save a Chinese telecommunications company that had previously been punished for violating trade sanctions with Iran and North Korea.

• As of last month, Ivanka and Jared had visited Trump properties during their time at the White House, with the accompanying Secret Service entourages and federal payments to the family business, more than any other White House officials had, with 36 visits for Ivanka and 39 for Jared. Ivanka’s stake in the Trump hotel in D.C. generated $4 million for her in 2019 alone.

• In 2018 alone, Ivanka and Jared reported as much as $135 million in income, much of which came from foreign business.

• Jared and Ivanka likely broke the law when they pushed the administration to enact tax breaks for so-called opportunity zones, a program that happened to benefit the couple to the tune of millions of dollars.

There's lots more broken down in the article, but jeez, it makes this whole Hunter Biden fiasco completely laughable.

That's fucked up, agreed

The thing with the Bidens n Ukraine though is Biden n the dems tore trump a new one, and even tried to impeach him for withholding funds until Ukraine investigated the Biden Ukraine connection, Biden n Dems claimed there was nothing to see, and that Trump was acting like a tyrant

Yet.... There was something to see, and not only that, Biden withheld funding to Ukraine too, but for very different reasons to trump

We all know politicians are dirty sleazebags, the point is how public opinion was being manipulated, even now those who've been manipulated still can't see the bs

I see the US third quarter GDP report dropped today.
A staggering 33% growth. Terrific rebound.

Might be worth reading (not people like welfare, but the ones who might be fooled by the likes of them):

How a fake persona laid the groundwork for a Hunter Biden conspiracy deluge

Quote:
A 64-page document that was later disseminated by close associates of President Donald Trump appears to be the work of a fake "intelligence firm."
And a nice recap on reddit

Quote:
I will have enough for an entire book before this "scandal" is done.

Hunter, while living in California, decides to fly 3,000 miles to Delaware. All to drop off a laptop for repair, coincidentally at a huge MAGA fan shop. he decided to never pick up his own laptop.

There’s security footage of it, but it got lost. Epstein style. But don’t worry- the MAGA man swears he saw him drop it off. Turns out he has a mental condition where he CANNOT RECOGNIZE FACES (I’m not joking) he knew it was hunters though, cause of the stickers on the laptop... MAGA man, naturally, didn’t just erase and resell the laptop, but did the totally normal thing of duplicating the hard drive and spending hours sorting through thousands of emails to find one that suggests Hunter might’ve tried to arrange a meeting with daddy Biden no evidence any meeting ever occurred, but who cares.

In comes Rudy Giuliani, cyber security expert, and talking set of teeth -who was tricked by Borat, and periodically butt dials reporters on accident -he has ‘confirmed’ the info not even the FBI could. Rudy was so worried about the intel, he sat on the laptop for months until 3 weeks before the election.

Naturally, it proves Hunter was into pedo devil sex too, but the proof is secret and for Rudy’s eyes only. there’s a video of said drug fueled sexcapades, but again, you just gotta trust rudy

Rudy refuses to send any electronic proof of the emails to anyone. But it’s definitely real, and definitely exists Heh. Again- not a single news agency has actually seen any proof, except for photos of printed emails. This is why ThEY WoNT CoVeR iT

He was ‘confirming’ it the same time Trump received an intel briefing that Rudy was unknowingly being used by Russian operatives to spread disinformation. Lmao.

Rudy, tired of getting made fun of, tweets some more ‘source material’ text messages... except the text is in an app that didn’t exist at the time it supposedly happened, and...literally in Russia. Poor guy.

This was all also investigated by a real Post reporter who refused to put their name on it, as no part of it could be verified. Several news outlets also passed on the story for the same reason, including FoxNews and WSJ. Ended up written by Sean Hannity’s producer. Lol.

Now comes a guy named Bobulinski - alleging he, uhh met with Biden to discuss a Chinese business deal. He has proof, of course: ‘documents’ he says naturally, he actually hasn’t released anything.

The WSJ opinion section finally publishes a Bobulinkski piece. Note: opinion section, not news, as they still couldn’t verify anything. It alleges the above Chinese deal. They very next day, the WSJ news section refutes the entire thing, using Bobulinksi’s own source material.

Here comes Tucker Carlson. He is about to release a bombshell. All the emails. Proving everything. Unfortunately, these apparently only existed as single physical copies. The emails. Electronic mails. Only existed as one physical copy. (Got that?). Sadly, these printed non-electronic emails were lost (stolen!) in the mail, and no one ever made a copy , so we may never know which dog ate Tucker’s homework or who made-up this made-up story.

Next up is Martin Aspen, Swiss intelligence operative. He is the basis for many of these allegations and brought it public in a dossier that the PRESIDENT received.. it turns out he is not real. Literally, they made his face on a face generator and gave him a cute linkedIn profile at a fake company. Probably just a cover for the deep state.

I think I’ve got it all, but hard to say as they keep making new stuff up.

And a nice recap on reddit
A Reddit thread.
Must be another one of those "credentialed journalists".

Speaking of credentialed journalists; Glenn Greenwald, who's far from a right wing trope spinner, resigned yesterday from the news outlet he co-founded, citing censorship of anything critical of Joe Biden. Including the Hunter Biden emails, and the media's attempts to bury it.

NBC news isn't enough for you? And the reddit post was just a funny thing I found. Because the whole thing is funny.

I don't like the idea of media (and twitter) burying stories, but since it ended up being total bunk anyway (and really should have been obvious) I'm not that mad. Hardly worth Greenwald quitting over, unless he already had other issues.

Not that Hunter Biden isn't a scumbag. I'd be like 99% sure he is. Most people like him are.

And his dad, a career politician. Wouldn't be my 1st or 5th choice as a presidential nominee.
