Hunter Biden's babymama petitions court to 'benefit' kid with Biden name

Monica Showalter  . . ."What she seems to be saying with this petition is that she knows what the Biden family is famous for, which is influence-peddling, trading off the family name for big-dollar gains, through no-show jobs, board seats, painting sales and other emoluments, all because of that proximity to "the big guy," to use Hunter's term found in his emails from his abandoned laptop.

"Name who what?"

"Hunter Biden certainly has paved the way on this, but so have the other Biden family members, such as Biden's brother James, who has come under federal scrutiny for his use of the family name for corrupt activities, too. It's very profitable to be a Biden, and Biden will give his "word as a Biden" to seal that sort of deal, as that's the family business, and for that matter, the Biden priority as president.

"The money-for-nothing aspect of it is amazing.

"Hunter's a former Navy officer who was thrown out of the Navy for cocaine use and was seemingly unemployable on his own merits. Somehow, that never hurt his capacity to make money -- through no-show jobs on the boards of energy companies such as Ukraine's corruption-plagued Burisma, drawing $50,000 a month for that, along with various enterprises linked to red China's oligarchs, and now through his blow-pipe paintings based on his suddenly discovered artistic ability. He is reportedly earning him as much as $500,000 a pop for those oeuvres, from anonymous buyers, an amount even elite artists do not make.". . .

Ocasio-Cortez Appears On 'The Price Is Right,' Guesses Everything Is Free

Did you have to be told this was parody? Really? May we guess you think there are more sexes than male and female? That a "pregnant male" is actually a thing? That Joe Biden is a competent president? I'll guess you diligently take notes during a KJP press briefing. TD

[EDITOR'S NOTE: We have been notified by Snopes.com. that this story is not true. After reviewing the evidence, we would like to retract it. Ocasio-Cortez did not actually appear on The Price Is Right and guess that everything is free. In fact, it appears that this entire story was completely made up. Everything else on our site is still true, however. We apologize for any confusion.]

"HOLLYWOOD, CA - Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was pumped to attend a taping of The Price Is Right in Hollywood this week. The special guest introduced herself as a U.S. representative and rising star of the Democratic Party. Things got interesting when the game began and every time it was her turn to estimate the price of an item her answer was "free." 

"Items included a set of Italian leather handbags, an all expenses paid trip to the Bahamas, and a brand new 2019 BMW 330i, at all of which Ocasio-Cortez shouted, "FREE!"

"When host Drew Carey asked if Ocasio-Cortez understood the game's rules, she told Carey not to cat-call her and then responded, "Don't hate me cause you ain't me."

"She went on to guess that diamond earrings, a set of jet skis, and even a giant pile of cash were all free. Carey unveiled a package containing world-class healthcare and she said, "Definitely free." She was at one point puzzled by a stack of croissants but eventually guessed that they also were free.

"Ocasio-Cortez was never able to advance to the game proper, and as the credits rolled she appeared visibly upset. A hot mic picked up comments she made in frustration, claiming that the game was rigged by capitalism and that "everybody knows giant piles of money are free, that's like basic economics 101.' "

Biden's U.S. Military Equipment From Afghanistan for Sale on eBay

 Frontpage Mag

"Our national security is in the best of hands. Not Biden. Maybe whoever in Afghanistan has an eBay account.

"German researchers who purchased biometric capture devices on eBay found sensitive US military data stored on their memory cards, The New York Times has reported. That included fingerprints, iris scans, photographs, names and descriptions of the individuals, mostly from Iraq and Afghanistan. Many worked with the US army and could be targeted if the devices fell into the wrong hands, according to the report.

They cost under $200.

"Where did it come from before eBay? That’s a good question. And officially there’s no answer. But one seems to have come most recently from Afghanistan.

Metadata on the device, called a Secure Electronic Enrollment Kit, or SEEK II, revealed that it had last been used in the summer of 2012 near Kandahar, Afghanistan."Where was it sitting all this time?

"Exactly how the device ended up going from the battlefields in Asia to an online auction site is unclear. But the data, which offers detailed descriptions of individuals in addition to their photograph and biometric data, could be enough to target people who were previously unknown to have worked with U.S. military forces should the information fall into the wrong hands.

"The how likely involves our “allies” or the Jihadis who overran the place after Biden’s humiliating retreat. Sure it could be a decommissioned military device, but those are supposed to be destroyed.

Impotent Buttigieg Huffs and Puffs at Flailing Southwest Airlines

. . ."We once had a family friend who could only afford to drive an old beater. One day, the engine died for the umpteenth time at a stop light, and our friend struggled to restart it when the light turned green. Sweat formed on his brow as he frantically pumped the gas and turned the ignition, but to no avail.

"All the while, an irate driver trapped behind the stalled car began leaning on the horn. At last stressed beyond endurance, our friend got out of his car and walked to the open window of the car behind him. “I’ve got an idea,” he said. “Why don’t you go get my car started, and I’ll sit back here and honk the horn at you?”

"What a perfect metaphor for useless posturing and interference from ignorant politicians as they hector industry professionals who are already making every effort to dig out of a crisis."

'YOU WILL BE IMPEACHED' Mayorkas PANICS as Kennedy EXPOSES 'true number' at border

PJ Media  From the comments: "Mr Kennedy was extremely generous when he initially blamed the Whitehouse for this mans actions, but his response is pathetic , he needs to go , simple as he is useless and is clearly lying and going round in circles to avoid these questions" .

"Kennedy knows how to get to the heart of the matter along with having a great sense of humor. Mayorkas deserves to be impeached if he is that proud of being on Biden's administration."

CROWDER CONFRONTS: Lying Journalist Caught!!

 CROWDER CONFRONTS: Lying Journalist Caught!! (Follow up) | Louder With Crowder

"Social media post sets off in-store confrontation"

JuiceLand Employee Harassed by Right-Wing Comedian   "A clash between conservative personality Steven Crowder and an employee at the MLK location of JuiceLand has the internet up in arms. It started with Facebook comments, but within days multiple social media platforms have become embroiled in the situation.

A JuiceLand. Not the JuiceLand in question. (Photo by John Anderson)

"According to screenshots posted by the Crowder camp in a YouTube video, the JuiceLand employee (whose name we have redacted for safety purposes) commented the following on a Facebook thread discussing Steven Crowder’s visit to Austin: “From a friend ‘I heard he was alt right after he got meme’d, apparently he [Steven Crowder] goes around and makes inflammatory statements just to cause a fuss. He’s an irl off-net troll.’ ”

"The commenter continued, “All gender history aside, destroyed documents aside, I would just remove the signs and slash his tires. He won’t be doing much ‘self entertaining’ when he’s calling and paying for a tow, four new tires, and thinking about never going out and making himself vulnerable again.”

"In another post, the account allegedly tied to the same individual reads, “Stay in contact with me, I know the few people who really mean business around here. I worked with some on the Robert E Lee statue we had on campus. That was us.”

"We have yet to obtain the original posts, and the employee’s social media accounts appear to be deleted. From what we can gather online, the following is the basic rundown.". . .

Black Lives Matter Lauded Fidel Castro, Domestic Terrorists

  Civis Americanus  . . .Black Lives Matter Eulogized Fidel Castro and Praised Domestic Terrorists

" I came across the following eulogy for the murderous Cuban dictator Fidel Castro while looking for more information on "Mama Assata," as BLM calls the convicted cop-killer and domestic terrorist Assata Shakur, AKA Joanne Chesimard.  This is straight from BLM Global Network itself and not from any of its detractors.

"The first thing to note is the call for "revolution," which uses civil rights as a means rather than an objective.  This reinforces the position that the only real difference between BLM icon George Floyd and Nazi icon Horst Wessel is that Floyd was Black and Wessel was Caucasian.  Both were violent thugs; Floyd was convicted of a gun-armed robbery, and Wessel belonged to extremist paramilitary organizations.  Both were later killed unlawfully, Floyd by Derek Chauvin, who, with the benefit of hindsight, had a badge and a gun he should not have had, and Wessel by communists.

"What follows is even worse than anything I and many others had previously imagined despite BLM's long track record of encouraging civil unrest, credibly alleged misuse of 501(c)(3) tax-exempt resources to influence the 2020 presidential election, anti-Semitic hate speech, and anti-Semitic denial of the right of Israel to exist.". . .

 BLM Supports Cop-Killers, Carjackers, Terrorists, and Hijackers; Do You Still Support BLM?

What a difference a day makes! Dramatic before and after photographs show how flood of migrants crossing El Paso border has reduced to a trickle after Title 42 was extended

 UK Daily Mail

• Photos show a stark difference in the amount of migrants crossing the border
• Title 42, which is a Covid-era public health policy, was extended on Tuesday
• It allows border agents to immediately expel migrants, many of which believed they stood a better chance of crossing into the US and remaining if it was canned
• Supreme Court ruled 5-4 to keep Title 42 in place hours before it was set to end

"Migrant surges at the US-Mexico border already appear to be dropping off since the extension of Title 42 on Tuesday, law enforcement officials have said.

"Just 24 hours after the Supreme Court’s announcement, several of the large groups which had gathered at the border in El Paso, Texas, had dispersed.

"Before and after photographs also show a stark contrast with the chaotic scenes that have played out through December.

"The Supreme Court ruled by a 5-4 vote to keep Title 42 in place just hours ahead of its planned end at midnight on Tuesday. 

"The Covid-era public health policy, which allows border agents to immediately expel migrants, will now remain in place for at least several more months.". . .

Here’s A Better Reason To Cheer For The Supreme Court’s U.S. Border Reprieve 

More on that one point shortly, but for now consider what celebrating Tuesday’s order represents — applauding the judiciary acting as legislators. That is most assuredly not a conservative response. Yes, our borders need protecting. Yes, the Biden Administration, Congress, Democrats, and Republicans have failed. And yes, the damage to the country and ordinary Americans is great. But the answer is not five justices sticking their fingers in the morass.

A Christmas Story star speaks out

Don Surber

"Some conservatives bemoan the fact that so few celebrities are willing to speak for us. I think they are doing a great job for us by remaining liberal."

"Remember the recent story, "A Christmas Story star berated by homeowner after taking photos outside famous house: ‘Get the f*** out’"?

"The star was Yano Anaya, who played Grover Dill, the flunky of Scut Farkas.

An even bigger star in that movie, Imelda Steele, who played the girlfriend of Flick, is in the news seemingly daily as she speaks out for social justice. Her tweets are legendary.

"She tweeted yesterday, "Listening to President Biden deliver his Christmas speech, you can’t help but be struck by his kindness, his compassion, his decency, his humanity. At times like this, I’m so grateful we have him."

"Yes, especially to his 4-year-old granddaughter who he refuses to acknowledge.

"Maybe she won't shower with him.

"Imelda Steele's role as Flick's girlfriend has blossomed into international fame. Recently she went to Greece and a reporter asked her if she saw the Parthenon. She said, "I can’t really remember the names of the clubs we went to."

"Imelda Steele won't go just anywhere. She said, "I’ve never really wanted to go to Japan. Simply because I don’t like eating fish. And I know that’s very popular out there in Africa."

"She also straightened out a reporter by saying, "No, no, I didn’t go to England, I went to London."

"Hers is an inquisitive mind. She once asked, "So, where’s the Cannes Film Festival being held this year?' ". . .

Does it matter that the Pope won’t call a fetus a “person”?

 Bookworm Room

"What’s it mean if the Pope recognizes the fetus as a living human but denies its legal status as a person?"

"Someone emailed me a link to an article in LifeSiteNews discussing Pope Francis’s recent statement about fetuses. Before I go further, I should state my bias up front: I don’t like Pope Francis. I think he’s a leftist in Pope’s clothing. In 2013, I wrote about why there was reason to believe that his thinking was influenced by Liberation Theology (pure Marxism), which swept through Latin America’s Catholic churches. I won’t repeat myself here.

"Over his nine years in the papacy, Pope Francis has doubled down on his Marxist economics and has been extremely supportive of the LGBTQ agenda. The one thing he was stalwart about, though, was his opposition to abortion. I wonder, though, if he’s clearing the ground to back off of that opposition.

"In an interview in America Magazine, the interviewer asked the Pope about abortion, and he responded (to my mind) peculiarly:

Purvis: Holy Father, abortion is a heavily politicized issue in the United States. We know it is wrong. And the United States Supreme Court recently ruled that there is no constitutional right to abortion. However, it still seems to plague the church in the sense that it separates us. Should the bishops prioritize abortion in relation to other social justice issues?

Pope Francis: On abortion, I can tell you these things, which I’ve said before. In any book of embryology it is said that shortly before one month after conception the organs and the DNA are already delineated in the tiny fetus, before the mother even becomes aware. Therefore, there is a living human being. I do not say a person, because this is debated, but a living human being. And I raise two questions: Is it right to get rid of a human being to resolve a problem? Second question: Is it right to hire a “hit man” to resolve a problem? The problem arises when this reality of killing a human being is transformed into a political question, or when a pastor of the church uses political categories.

"Is it me, or is Francis’s answer nonsensical? In all Western cultures, “persons” have legal protections. As the Pope, shouldn’t he enthusiastically endorse that? Why is he waffling on about the fetus being a “living human being,” while refusing to call it a “person” with legal rights?". . .

Merry Christmas, Kamala -- Love, Texas

Anthony Gonzalez

"Kamala Harris received a Christmas gift from the great state of Texas. As the clock struck midnight, and December 24th became December 25th, Kamala Harris looked outside her window, encountering three busloads of illegals. Based on Harris’ record as the “border czar” for Joe Biden, and her statements on illegal immigration, she should be very happy that the illegals were brought close to home. For Kamala, this was a magical Christmas indeed!

"The New York Post reports, “About 110 to 130 men, women, and children were let off near the Naval Observatory in temperatures that hovered around 15 degrees on Saturday night, Christmas Eve.” Of course, the Naval Observatory is the residence of the Vice President. If the illegals were suffering from the cold weather, why didn’t the Vice President let them into

her home? How immoral. Soon, the charlatan media will say that Governor Greg Abbott is such a horrible person for playing politics with the lives of illegals. However, the one at fault is Kamala Harris. Harris and Joe Biden are directly responsible for the argosy of illegals that are pouring through our southern border, and yet they keep saying that our border is “secure.”

"Then came the attacks. “White House spokesman Abdullah Hasan called the bus drop-offs a “cruel, dangerous, and shameful stunt.” A stunt? Where was the White House when the illegals started crossing the Rio Grande into Texas, Arizona, Nevada, and other states?". . .
