Speaking of AOC, her “Tax the Rich” dress designer apparent doesn’t take her tax obligations too seriously.
Designer Aurora James called her “Tax the Rich” dress for Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez a “powerful message” — but it’s not one she has taken to heart.
The 37-year-old fashionista who made waves at the Met Gala with Democratic-Socialist AOC last week is a notorious tax deadbeat with unpaid debts dogging her in multiple states, records show.
As do many Americans, I have a high regard for Australia and for Australians generally. I also sympathize with their situation:
Only twenty-five million Australians living in too-close proximity to a communist and expansion minded China with nearly one point five billion souls in need of elbow room. I would be highly uncomfortable in that situation, too!
All that said, and reiterating my high regard for Australia, I nevertheless am unable to fathom a decision to purchase needed submarines from, of all places, FRANCE!! Send that decision maker to the outback with just one canteen of water!!
Of course in the end wiser Australian heads prevailed and sanity intervened. Now France is bellyaching, and they pulled their ambassador. But France does not even manufacture nuclear subs! Did they really expect Australia to buy conventional subs to go up against China? That is preposterous.
Bottom line, with only twenty-five million against well over a billion, the safest Australian state is also my personal favorite: Tasmania.
He urged an end to deportations. “Such a decision defies common sense.”
Well, if you want your country to be like the third world, import all their people and elect unaccountable politicians who refuse to follow your constitution or court rulings. We’re on our way.
The sudden influx of Haitians this past week seems to be deliberate and orchestrated by Mexico. Just over the weekend, Mexico’s AMLO chaired a session of the CELAC with the presence of Venezuela’s Maduro and Cuba’s Diaz-Canel. The session’s agenda was to undermine the OAS and denounce everything American and “imperialistic”. Nothing like a crisis at the border with poor people of color to emphasize how America is cruel and damaging to the interests of the free countries in the continent.
As usual, the hypocritical left using the misery of some to advance their own agenda.
Looks like there’s a lot more confirmation of the Hunter laptop emails now. Several of the receiving counterparties to the emails have confirmed them as accurate, another book out recently, Sweden’s government, etc.
I guess the story does add up. China is happy to pay 10% for the Big Guy, and he was happy to take it.
So there is no book, no emails confirmed by swedish government, and all the tweets are fake? Because those are the sources, zero hedge is merely reporting them.
Funny how you keep dismissing things you don’t like due to who’s saying it, without ever disputing what is being said.
If you can’t be bothered to read the ZH links, I’m happy to take this opportunity to highlight lots of the additional new coverage of the sleaze that just came out on Biden.
New York Post
Schreckinger adds that e-mails released by the Swedish government also match e-mails from the laptop (Hunter had gotten into a [stripper related] kerfuffle when he was staying in a Swedish embassy building)
For those who doubt that Hunter would just forget a laptop at a repair shop, Schreckinger notes that Biden’s son abandoned another computer at the home of psychiatrist Keith Ablow. “I wasn’t keeping tabs on possessions very well for about a four-year period of time,” Hunter said.
Yahoo News
Two crucial emails included among the material reportedly taken from Hunter Biden’s laptop last year are genuine, according to new evidence presented in the book The Bidens by Politico reporter Ben Schreckinger.
… the arrangement was “the perfect mechanism for funneling bribes.”
Fox
The Hunter Biden laptop story bas continued to be downplayed and even denied in media reports as recently as last week. The New York Times stealth-edited a report that called the piece “unsubstantiated,” and NPR earlier this year called it “discredited.”
And of course continuing excellent coverage from the Daily Mail
Other emails allegedly uncovered on the laptop detailed plans for President Biden to join a law and consultancy firm with his two sons in 2014. Beau Biden died in 2015 after a battle with brain cancer.
Hunter had discussed the proposed firm in a November 2014 email with his business partner and Biden family friend Jeff Cooper, a lawyer and entrepreneur.
Had Beau not passed away, the emails suggest that Joe Biden might have quit politics and entered the DC ‘swamp’ of politically-tied lawyers and highly-paid consultants and lobbyists – a world he has decried in speeches.
Hopefully this shows a wide range of coverage that will meet your standards, as well as , in Hunter’s own words, give additional credibility to him losing his laptop in the first place. This was something he did fairly frequently during his pre-artist years when he rotated between hitting the crack pipe hard, having sex with (likely underage) prostitutes, doing drugs and prostitutes simultaneously, and all while finding time to take bribes for the Big Guy from foreign governments. As you can imagine, for a busy guy like that, where his 3rd laptop was might not be at the top of what was left of his mind.
For many liberals, the only coverage meeting their “standards” would be sources stating Hunter Biden is an exemplar, an upright human being of the first order, a chip off the old block.
Of course such assertions as that would be bald-faced lies. But lies in support of Marxism are not merely accepted and even embraced by liberals, they are a required part of the overall disease.
The BoJo press conference yesterday has even roiled some in our Marxist media:
BoJo himself first accepted and answered a couple of questions from his own (UK) media. Not wanting to hog the spotlight, he then sought to throw it over to Biden for questions from our American media darlings.
That’s when all hell broke loose. The press went nuts shouting questions about the border, the botched drone strike in Afghanistan, and several other Biden screw ups. As Biden sought to answer, his own handlers loudly shouted him down and proceeded to eject the entire press corps from the White House!
Biden’s wranglers by now know he is a loose cannon when speaking without a prepared script . . . . . and sometimes even with a script if he wanders. Being POTUS is not an easy job, especially not when you are as old as Biden and well on your way to senility.
Increasingly with Biden I am reminded of the Wilson presidency. President Wilson became ill and his wife ended up making a great many of the important decisions. In Biden’s case it is not Jill doing his thinking. It is instead his cadre of Marxist handlers making the important calls.
Trump never refused the press. He took on all comers and answered all questions. Sadly he cannot rescue us now.
What is actually happening is that we learn sites that spew garbage and then figure everything else from them is also garbage. There’s no point in wasting time on sites that routinely get things wrong. If the news is true it will show up elsewhere–and the lack of showing up elsewhere is a pretty good indication it’s not true.
the lack of it showing up elsewhere is a pretty good indication that the rags that got it wrong aren’t interested in stories that make them look stupid.
maybe, just maybe, all the places that printed stories supporting the russian disinformation claim aren’t too keen on reporting a story that proves that they were bad at their jobs
you act like there is an incentive on the right to print a story confirming their original story was true, but there is no corresponding incentive on the left to ignore a story confirming their original story was false.
Sure, opinions can be wrong. That’s why they are opinions.
This is about tangible things. Again, which of those tangible things are you claiming to be fake? Because they’d have to not exist for the story to be wrong.
And again, you can interpret those things however you want. But this isn’t about interpreting anything, it’s about their existence. So which of those things don’t exist?
So again, which of those things are you claiming to be fake? Because you are either disputing the information, or you are avoiding the information. You dispute it because you think it is false, or you avoid it because you are worried it isnt false. Focusing entirely on who is reporting it rather than what is being reported is inherently avoiding it.
Biden is hanging onto his base without effort. Regardless which major job approval poll you consult, he is well north of 40% approval. Considering his performance so far, that is a most reassuring outcome for POTUS. But why . . how could this be possible?
Biden’s support comes from a combination of bleeding heart liberals and Marxists, two groups of people closely related to one another. The Marxists in particular are relishing Biden’s bulldozer approach to traditional America and her time-tested values. The liberals find Biden a desirable alternative to performance oriented Republicans. Some of the liberals might be uncomfortable with Biden’s solid record of across-the-board failures. But they nevertheless support him given an alternative they are completely unable to embrace. The Marxists, of course, are relishing the damage Biden is doing, from open borders to wildly spendthrift fiscal policies certain to cut our country down to size and soften us up for Marxist approaches and methods. Anything bad for America is manna from Heaven for the Marxists.
So bottom line Biden is doing fantastic with all the people that matter most to him and to his Democrat allies. He has been able to inflict a great deal of damage on our country in only a short interval of time. And you ain’t seen nothin’ yet!
