Senate votes on Thursday.
New York Post launches a bomb!
Twitter backs Biden.
It’s Happening, Get Over It
Amy Coney Barrett had her hearing in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee. It did not go well for Democrats. She ran circles around them. They actually looked really ill prepared. They acted nasty and complained that this process was “a sham and unconstitutional.” Barrett would answer no questions on precedent which really pissed them off. Kicker is, she is not suppose to answer precedent. This is based on something called the Ginsberg Rule. The future justices are not suppose to answer anything about cases that may come in front of them. It was first started during Ruth Bader Ginsberg’s hearings.
They tried to trap her several times by using analogies and hypotheticals. Of course, ACB is a fantastic lawyer and debater. She is not going to answer anything that is hypothetical because that’s just dumb. Remember when you debate: hypotheticals and analogies can always be manipulated. Usually people who do not have facts use analogies. Never answer an analogy and point it out. My girlfriend uses analogies with me all the time when we are in an argument. Guess what? She never wins those argument.
The Republicans have set the vote for Thursday October 22. She is going to get confirmed. Even the never-Trumpers like Mit Romney said he was going to vote yes. They all should. She’s brilliant. Here’s her exchange with Senator Cornyn. This just shows you how smart she is.
Democrats are still playing nasty. Chuck Schumer is trying to delay the vote by throwing a wrench into the procedure. He has promised not to supply a quorum for the nomination. I’ll tell you what a quorum is because I didn’t know.
According to Fox News:
A quorum is the minimum number of members present for a committee or the full Senate to conduct business and hold votes. The quorum in the full Senate is 51 members and the quorum of the Judiciary Committee is nine members including two in the minority party. This means that if one or fewer Democrats show up to the planned Oct. 22 meeting where the Judiciary Committee plans to vote on the Barrett confirmation then they could prevent the committee from reporting the nomination to the Senate.
This is a threat but a week one. If all the Democrats didn’t show up and all the Republicans do, they have a quorum unless I am missing something in this definition.
The Dems are also threatening to pack the court. Chris Coons along with a bunch of other Democrats are threatening to pack the courts. Nothing but threats and obstruction. It’s really sad and very infuriating. She is going to get a vote and she is going to get confirmed. Deal with it.

Ooo, Not Good
So Hunter Biden is in some trouble. In turn, Hiden’ Biden is in some trouble.
From the New York Post
The computer was dropped off at a repair shop in Biden’s home state of Delaware in April 2019, according to the store’s owner.
Other material extracted from the computer includes a raunchy, 12-minute video that appears to show Hunter, who’s admitted struggling with addiction problems, smoking crack while engaged in a sex act with an unidentified woman, as well as numerous other sexually explicit images.
The customer who brought in the water-damaged MacBook Pro for repair never paid for the service or retrieved it or a hard drive on which its contents were stored, according to the shop owner, who said he tried repeatedly to contact the client.
The shop owner couldn’t positively identify the customer as Hunter Biden, but said the laptop bore a sticker from the Beau Biden Foundation, named after Hunter’s late brother and former Delaware attorney general.
Photos of a Delaware federal subpoena given to The Post show that both the computer and hard drive were seized by the FBI in December, after the shop’s owner says he alerted the feds to their existence.
A few things that are not mentioned in the story:
- The guy who owns the store is completely blind.
- The guy is an ardent Trump supporter.
- The guy is a bit of a conspiracy theorist. This brings the question of why Rudy G.’s personal attorney.
- Also, his stories, during interviews, seem to be inconsistent. .
- There is even a question whether the FBI has the laptop.
But, here’s what we know right now: the Emails have been verified by Fox News. So have the pictures. And the way Twitter and Facebook are handling this, I believe it. So let’s go over the stories of these Emails.
All this is from the New York Post article.
Hunter Biden introduced his father, then-Vice President Joe Biden, to a top executive at a Ukrainian energy firm less than a year before the elder Biden pressured government officials in Ukraine into firing a prosecutor who was investigating the company, according to emails obtained by The Post.
The never-before-revealed meeting is mentioned in a message of appreciation that Vadym Pozharskyi, an adviser to the board of Burisma, allegedly sent Hunter Biden on April 17, 2015, about a year after Hunter joined the Burisma board at a reported salary of up to $50,000 a month.
“Dear Hunter, thank you for inviting me to DC and giving an opportunity to meet your father and spent [sic] some time together. It’s realty [sic] an honor and pleasure,” the email reads.
An earlier email from May 2014 also shows Pozharskyi, reportedly Burisma’s No. 3 exec, asking Hunter for “advice on how you could use your influence” on the company’s behalf.
The blockbuster correspondence — which flies in the face of Joe Biden’s claim that he’s “never spoken to my son about his overseas business dealings” — is contained in a massive trove of data recovered from a laptop computer.
But before turning over the gear, the shop owner says, he made a copy of the hard drive and later gave it to former Mayor Rudy Giuliani’s lawyer, Robert Costello.
Steve Bannon, former adviser to President Trump, told The Post about the existence of the hard drive in late September and Giuliani provided The Post with a copy of it on Sunday.
Less than eight months after Pozharskyi thanked Hunter Biden for the introduction to his dad, the then-vice president admittedly pressured Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko and Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk into getting rid of Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin by threatening to withhold a $1 billion US loan guarantee during a December 2015 trip to Kiev.
“I looked at them and said: I’m leaving in six hours. If the prosecutor is not fired, you’re not getting the money,” Biden infamously bragged to the Council on Foreign Relations in 2018.
“Well, son of a bitch. He got fired.”
Shokin has said that at the time of his firing, in March 2016, he’d made “specific plans” to investigate Burisma that “included interrogations and other crime-investigation procedures into all members of the executive board, including Hunter Biden.”
Joe Biden has insisted that the US wanted Shokin removed over corruption concerns, which were shared by the European Union.
Meanwhile, an email dated May 12, 2014 — shortly after Hunter Biden joined the Burisma board — shows Pozharskyi attempting to get him to use his political leverage to help the company.
The message had the subject line “urgent issue” and was also sent to Hunter Biden’s business partner, Devon Archer, who also sat on the Burisma board at the time.
Pozharskyi said that “the representatives of new authorities in power tend to quite aggressively approach N. Z. unofficially with the aim to obtain cash from him.”
N.Z. isn’t identified in the email but appears to be a reference to Burisma founder Mykola Zlochevsky, whose first name is a Ukrainian version of “Nicholas.”
When the alleged shakedown failed, “they proceeded with concrete actions” in the form of “one or more pretrial proceedings,” Pozharskyi wrote.
“We urgently need your advice on how you could use your influence to convey a message / signal, etc .to stop what we consider to be politically motivated actions,” he added.
Hunter Biden responded by saying he was with Archer in Doha, Qatar, and asked for more information about “the formal (if any) accusations being made against Burisma.”
“Who is ultimately behind these attacks on the company? Who in the current interim government could put an end to such attacks?” he added.
The exchange came the same day that Burisma announced it had expanded its board of directors by adding Hunter Biden, who was put in charge of its “legal unit and will provide support for the Company among international organizations,” according to a news release that’s since been scrubbed from Burisma’s website.
Hunter Biden actually joined the board in April 2014, according to multiple reports.
His lawyer said last year that Hunter was “not a member of the management team,” adding, “At no time was Hunter in charge of the company’s legal affairs.”
About four months after Hunter Biden’s correspondence with Pozharskyi, Archer forwarded Hunter Biden an email chain with the subject line “tax raise impact on Burisma production,” which included Pozharskyi saying that the Ukrainian cabinet had submitted new tax legislation to the country’s parliament.
“If enacted, this law would kill the entire private gas production sector in the bud,” Pozharskyi wrote.
In the Sept. 24, 2014, email, Pozharskyi also said he was “going to share this information with the US embassy here in Kyiv, as well as the office of Mr Amos Hochstein in the States.”
At the time, Hochstein was the State Department’s newly appointed special envoy and coordinator for international energy affairs.
In December 2017, the Naftogaz Group, Ukraine’s state-owned energy company, announced that Hochstein had joined the company as an independent director, but on Monday he announced his resignation.
“The company has been forced to spend endless amounts of time combating political pressure and efforts by oligarchs to enrich themselves through questionable transactions,” Hochstein wrote in an op-ed published by the Kyiv Post.
In addition to denying that’s he’s spoken to Hunter Biden about his overseas business dealings, Joe Biden has repeatedly denied any conflict of interest or wrongdoing by either of them involving Burisma.
Last February, he got testy during an appearance on NBC’s “Today” show when co-host Savannah Guthrie questioned whether it was “wrong for [Hunter] to take that position, knowing that it was really because that company wanted access to you.”
“Well, that’s not true. You’re saying things you do not know what you’re talking about,” the elder Biden responded.
Last December, Joe Biden also lashed out during a Democratic primary town hall event in Iowa, where a man accused him of sending Hunter to Ukraine “to get a job and work for a gas company, he had no experience with gas or nothing, in order to get access to . . . the president.”
“You’re a damn liar, man. That’s not true and no one has ever said that,” Biden fumed.
Biden then continued berating the man as he stepped forward, called the man “fat” and challenged him to “do push-ups together, man.”
The FBI referred questions about its seizure of the laptop and hard drive to the Delaware US Attorney’s Office, where a spokesperson said, “My office can neither confirm nor deny the existence of an investigation.”
Hunter Biden’s lawyer refused to comment on the specifics but instead attacked Giuliani.
“He has been pushing widely discredited conspiracy theories about the Biden family, openly relying on actors tied to Russian intelligence,” the lawyer, George R. Mesires, said of Giuliani.
Pozharskyi and the Joe Biden campaign did not return requests for comment. Hochstein could not be reached.

What Do We Know
Not a tremendous amount. But here’s what we know:
- The computer and Emails are legit.
- The FBI does have the computer.
- The elder Biden does not deny any of this. He just will tell at people that bring this up.
- Democrats really suck at using technology.
What we need to know:
- Is this true?
- What is on that hard drive? We know there was bad Emails and porn. There are rumors of kiddie-porn. There are rumors of that.
- What did Slow Joe know? He won’t deny or confirm anything.
- Why is the media ignoring this?
- Why is social media blocking all this?
This can’t be ignored or suppressed like everyone is doing. There are going to need to be some answers here.
In the latest news today:
- The DNI John Ratcliff said that Hunter Biden was not involved in Russian disinformation.
- The FBI does have the laptop and are sifting through the Emails.
- There are text messages with Hunter talking about holding money for the “big guy” and one text telling his daughter that he will not be holding “her salary like he is for her grandfather.”
- Is this stuff real? Don’t know.
Tomorrow, we are going to talk about Twitter’s response to this. They started banning accounts for posting the New York Post article including the Trump Campaign account and press secretary Kayla McKaneny.
Sure, Why Not?
From the Daily Wire:
This year has been beyond bizarre. A month into 2020, House Democrats impeached the president. Then, a pandemic arrived and, like a crummy household guest, it never left. Then NBA legend Kobe Bryant died (followed, in a bizarre PR stunt, by Mr. Peanut). Then the U.K. pulled out of the European Union and a prince and his royal wife moved to Hollywood. Then race riots erupted in cities across America after black men died at the hands of white police.
And then, murder hornets arrived — like the virus, from Asia.
That was all by June.
So it makes perfect sense that the day before Election Day, a refrigerator-sized space rock could strike Earth. That’s what astrophysicist and celebrity scientist Neil deGrasse Tyson says.
Sounds about right for 2020.
The space rock, known only as 2018VP1, is currently racing toward Earth at 25,000 miles per hour and could clip the planet. Still, Tyson was optimistic.
“It may buzz-cut Earth on Nov. 2, the day before the Presidential Election,” he wrote on Instagram. “But it’s not big enough to cause harm. So if the World ends in 2020, it won’t be the fault of the Universe.”
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) offers even better news, putting its chance of even entering Earth’s atmosphere at less than half of 1%.
