Still ‘No Evidence’ of Biden Corruption?

Posted on | September 26, 2023 | Comments Off on Still ‘No Evidence’ of Biden Corruption?

Gonna be kind of hard for Democrats to spin this one:

Hunter Biden received wires that originated in Beijing for more than $250,000 from Chinese business partners during the summer of 2019 — wires that listed the Delaware home of Joe Biden as the beneficiary address for the funds, Fox News Digital has learned from a congressional committee.
House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., has been investigating the Biden family business dealings and President Biden’s alleged involvement in those ventures.
As part of the investigation, Comer subpoenaed financial records related to a specific bank account and received records of two wires originating from Beijing and linked to BHR Partners.
BHR Partners is a joint-venture between Hunter Biden’s Rosemont Seneca and Chinese investment firm Bohai Capital. BHR Partners is a Beijing-backed private equity firm controlled by Bank of China Limited. Hunter Biden reportedly sat on the board of directors of BHR Partners.
The first wire transfer sent to Hunter Biden, dated July 26, 2019, was for $10,000 from an individual named Ms. Wang Xin. There is a Ms. Wang Xin listed on the website for BHR Partners. It is unclear if the wire came from that Wang Xin.
The second wire transfer sent to Hunter Biden, dated Aug. 2, 2019, was for $250,000 from Li Xiang Sheng — also known as Jonathan Li, the CEO of BHR Partners — and Ms. Tan Ling. The committee is trying to identify Ling’s role.
The beneficiary for the wires is listed as Robert Hunter Biden with the address “1209 Barley Mill Rd.” in Wilmington, Delaware. That address is the main residence for President Biden.

This was after Biden had declared his 2020 campaign. Even as he was telling everybody he knew nothing about his son’s foreign business deals, hundreds of thousands of dollars from China were being wired to his home address. Still no grounds for impeachment, eh?



 

‘Who Fought for Ukrainian Independence Against the Russians’ in WWII?

Posted on | September 25, 2023 | Comments Off on ‘Who Fought for Ukrainian Independence Against the Russians’ in WWII?

Sometimes the Godwin’s Law jokes write themselves:

Following addresses to the parliament in Ottowa on Friday from both [Canadian Prime Minister Justin] Trudeau and [Ukrainian President Volodymyr] Zelensky, the Speaker of the House of Commons Anthony Rota prompted a standing ovation as he honoured a “veteran from the Second World War who fought for Ukrainian independence against the Russians and continues to support the troops today even at his age of 98.”
“His name is Yaroslav Hunka… he is a Ukrainian hero, a Canadian hero, and we thank him for all his service,” Rota continued before a second round of applause.
In the caption of a picture published by the Associated Press showing Zelensky and Trudeau standing and applauding Hunka, the news wire service identified Hunka as a former member of the “First Ukrainian Division in World War II”. The division is also known as the 14th Waffen Grenadier Division of the SS (1st Galician), a division comprised mostly of Ukrainian volunteers after being established by Nazi Germany in 1943. . . .
In a Ukrainian language post on the blog Combatant News attributed to Hunak, he claimed to have joined the Nazi military division in 1943. The post also featured pictures of himself during the war, including his apparent training by the SS in Munich.
Ivan Katchanovski of the University of Ottowa described the celebration of Hunka as “truly unbelievable” and an “epic scandal“, questioning: “Did anyone in parliament or Zelensky realize that he served in [the] Waffen SS division?”

This is how childishly simple-minded liberals are: Whatever they like is good, and whatever they dislike is evil. During the Cold War, conservatives were willing to tolerate various authoritarians as allies in opposition to Soviet-backed Communist revolutionaries, a doctrine explained by Jeane Kirkpatrick in an influential article, “Dictatorships and Double Standards.” Meanwhile, liberals were stamping their feet and throwing tantrums about “human rights” in Latin America, Africa and other places, where pro-Western governments were in a life-or-death struggle with Moscow-backed terrorists like the murderous Sandinistas in Nicaragua. Liberals were so fascinated with their own rhetoric about “human rights” — an intellectual abstraction — that they were unable to see that Marxist victories in such situations would mean the annihilation of thousands, and whatever “rights” they may have had.

Well, the Cold War ended, and liberals expect us all to forget how wrong they were about everything back then, and now they’ve climbed onto a new hobby horse, where Russia and Putin are the bogeymen, which becomes an excuse to ignore the much greater threat posed by Communist China. And, because they think of the proxy war against Putin as an expression of their moral superiority, liberals are utterly blind to any problems with their friends in Ukraine. So you have the liberals in the Canadian parliament applauding a literal Nazi, and if you object to this . . . Well, you’re a right-wing extremist and probably racist, too.

FMJRA 2.0: Gewitter

— compiled by Wombat-socho

A very good week for the Senators as we hosted the Giants and Angels at RFK this week; we won two out of three in each series, getting Juan Marichal his 15th win and Jim Kaat his 9th. This week will be a little tougher since we face the Yankees on Tuesday and the Reds on Friday, but if we can pull a .500 week off, I’ll be happy. Pete’s Brewers have already embraced their fate and are in the process of rebuilding for next year with draft picks.

LOL: ‘Readers Added Context’ to Tweet by David Brooks and It’s Brutally Awesome

Posted on | September 22, 2023 | Comments Off on LOL: ‘Readers Added Context’ to Tweet by David Brooks and It’s Brutally Awesome

Used to be, every Tuesday was “David Brooks Fisking Day” around here, as I’d dismantle that dishonest fraud’s New York Times column, but I eventually got bored with it. Now the fool has committed one of the great self-owns in the history of social media: Claiming on Twitter that his burger at the airport cost $78. Internet sleuths quickly figured out what restaurant Brooks was in: 1911 Smokehouse Barbecue, where the burger costs $17, meaning that Brooks drank somewhere in the neighborhood of $50 worth of cocktails. Is this — a New York Times columnist running up a bar tab of $50 drinking call-brand scotch at an airport restaurant — really “why Americans think the economy is terrible”? Probably not.

Brooks got more readers for that stupid tweet than he gets for his weekly columns. If the economy was really terrible, he’d be unemployed.
