After having his teeth fixed - He's back on the hunt..... https://nypost.com/2021/04/27/hunter-biden-to-speak-about-fake-news-at-tulane-university/ Hunter Biden nabbed a speaking gig at Tulane University to talk with students about “fake news” for a course called “Media Polarization and Public Policy Impacts.” The 51-year-old son of President Biden will join the class to discuss “the current state of the media landscape in the United States and how media polarization, fake news and the economics of the new business impact public policymaking in Washington, DC,” according to Fox News. Biden is one of 10 guests speakers invited by the New Orleans university during the 10-week course. Other speakers include Dr. Deborah Birx, New York Times columnist Bret Stephens and Fox News political analyst Juan Williams. Hunter Biden, who The Post exclusively reported helped arrange a 2015 meeting between his then-vice president father and his Ukrainian energy firm executive boss — whom the elder Biden later helped shield from investigation — is better known for his drug, sex and legal scandals than his media expertise. In the weeks before the 2020 election, social media outlets censored The Post over the report, and mainstream news outlets ignored it, over lack of faith in its veracity. After his father won the presidency, Hunter disclosed the federal government was indeed investigating his overseas business dealings. The first son also said the laptop at the center of the report, containing emails that revealed his business dealings in Ukraine and China, could “certainly” have been his, as his book tour swung through CBS earlier this month. He also claimed it could have been stolen from him, or hacked by Russia as part of a misinformation campaign, the latter a claim that intelligence agents have refuted. “Whether or not somebody has my laptop, whether or not it was, I was hacked, whether or not there exists a laptop at all, I truly don’t know,” Hunter said. After SF got over the irony of this guy being tapped to speak, I am really wondering if he is just going to expound on his and his father being the the beneficiaries of the good side of the fake media.....

https://nypost.com/2021/04/26/iran-foreign-minister-says-john-kerry-met-with-him-during-trump-years/ Iran foreign minister reveals John Kerry kept in touch about Israeli covert operations By Mark Moore April 26, 2021 | 12:22pm | Updated Iran’s foreign minister claimed in a leaked recording that former US Secretary of State John Kerry told him about over 200 covert Israeli attacks on Iranian interests in Syria during former President Donald Trump’s administration. Foreign Minister Javad Zarif said in the leaked recording obtained by the New York Times and Iran International that the Revolutionary Guard Corps and the country’s supreme leader kept him in the dark about government negotiations and military operations, and that he was receiving intel from Kerry. “It was former US Foreign Secretary John Kerry who told me Israel had launched more than 200 attacks on Iranian forces in Syria,” he said. Zarif made the comments in a March interview with an Iranian journalist that wasn’t supposed to be released until August, when President Hassan Rouhani leaves office. It’s unclear whether Kerry tipped off Zarif while secretary of state, or out of office. Zarif met with Kerry and Obama administration Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz when Donald Trump was in the White House, which Kerry admitted to in 2018. Kerry denied discussing the Israeli targets with the Iranian foreign minister. “I can tell you that this story and these allegations are unequivocally false. This never happened – either when I was Secretary of State or since,” he said in a post on Twitter. Kerry and Moniz were instrumental in negotiating the 2015 nuclear deal between Iran and global powers. Kerry said he met with Zarif and other Iranian officials in an effort to salvage the nuclear agreement. Trump later that month slammed Kerry for his “shadow diplomacy,” saying the Obama administration officials are who got the US into “this mess” in the first place. “The United States does not need John Kerry’s possibly illegal Shadow Diplomacy on the very badly negotiated Iran Deal. He was the one that created this MESS in the first place!,” Trump posted on Twitter after reports surfaced about Kerry’s talks with the Iranians. He pulled the US out of the pact days later. Kerry at the time defended the nuclear deal. “I think every American would want every voice possible urging Iran to remain in compliance with the nuclear agreement that prevented a war,” he said in a statement. “Secretary Kerry stays in touch with his former counterparts around the world just like every previous Secretary of State. Like America’s closest allies, he believes it is important that the nuclear agreement, which took the world years to negotiate, remain effective as countries focus on stability in the region.” Trump in May 2019 accused Kerry of violating federal law by siding with Iran over US interests — and said he should be prosecuted for it. “You know, John Kerry speaks to them a lot. John Kerry tells them not to call. That’s a violation of the Logan Act, and frankly he should be prosecuted on that,” Trump said at the time. At what point was disclosing US intelligence relative to Israeli operations to Iran not treasonous?

APU? aPU?

https://nypost.com/2021/04/14/the-truth-about-racism-cops-devine/ Who would want to be a cop in America? It’s open season on anyone who wears a badge, so no wonder recruitment is down, retirements are up and the streets grow ever more violent. By swallowing the false narrative of systemic racism, we have demonized and criminalized police while turning criminals into civil-rights martyrs. This won’t end well. By all accounts, the police shooting of a black man, Daunte Wright, Sunday during a traffic stop in the Minneapolis suburb of Brooklyn Center was a stupid, horrible accident. But it’s not racism. The fact that it happened just 10 miles from where a former police officer, Derek Chauvin, is standing trial for the killing of George Floyd just makes the calamity unfathomably worse. The threat of extreme violence if Chauvin is acquitted already had the country on tenterhooks. But Wright’s death ensured the riots and looting came early. You would think, at such a time, that our nation’s leaders would find a way of lowering the temperature. But no. Former President Barack Obama, who could wield more influence for good than anyone, did the worst possible thing. Instead of using the opportunity to teach young men not to resist arrest, he fanned the flames of fear by falsely asserting that Wright’s death was racially motivated. It was “yet another shooting of a Black man . . . at the hands of police.” It showed “just how badly we need to reimagine policing and public safety in this country.” Yeah, well, we’ve been reimagining police for almost a year and the result is soaring crime, with black neighborhoods the worst hit. Democratic US Rep. Rashida Tlaib fanned the flames further. She tweeted that Wright’s shooting “wasn’t an accident. Policing in this country is inherently and intentionally racist . . . No more policing incarceration and militarization. It can’t be reformed.” So says the woman whose workplace is surrounded by barbed wire and guarded by thousands of police and military. These are the facts: This year to April 12, 52 black people were fatally shot by police, just three of whom were unarmed, and 109 white people suffered the same fate, five of whom were unarmed, according to a Washington Post database. Yet the media and allied activists only scream when police kill a black person. This leads to a distorted understanding of the problem, as a February survey by the Skeptic Research Center found. The majority of Americans, especially liberals, wildly overestimates the number of unarmed black men killed by police. For instance, 53.5 percent of those reporting “very liberal” political views estimated the number to be 1,000 or more deaths in 2019, when the actual number of unarmed black men fatally shot by police was 12. A lot of the media is invested in this false narrative and will not let it go, no matter how much mayhem it unleashes. For instance, before he resigned, Brooklyn Center Police Chief Tim Gannon gave a press conference in which he mentioned the riots the previous night, and was shouted down by activists posing as reporters. “Don’t do that,” they scolded him. “There was no riot.” “There was,” he replied. “An officer was injured, hit on the head with a brick [and] was transported to the hospital.” Gannon was trying to be upfront when he released Potter’s bodycam footage and said she had mistaken her gun for her Taser. But the media was only interested in reinforcing their racism narrative. Wright was “driving while black” was a favorite headline. A Minneapolis Star Tribune columnist wrote that Wright was pulled over because he had air freshener dangling from his mirror. Still shots from the bodycam video show no air freshener existed from the start to the end of the police interaction. Pulling Wright over wasn’t racist. He was driving with expired license plate tags. Arresting him wasn’t racist. He had an open warrant related to an armed robbery case in which he allegedly choked a woman and threatened to shoot her. Wright should not have died, but racism had nothing to do with it. When he resisted arrest, jumped back in his car and attempted to escape, police had good reason to try to stop him. Kimberly Potter, the officer who shot Wright, clearly intended to tase him and not shoot him with her gun. The video shows her calling out, “Taser! Taser! Taser!” before firing. She was charged Wednesday with second-degree manslaughter. Due process is being followed. But the mob that showed up at her house baying for blood demands a different sort of justice, which the cowardly city council won’t refuse. The council fired Brooklyn Center City Manager Curt Boganey on Monday because he said Potter should not be hung, drawn and quartered by the mob, but deserved “due process.” Councilmember Chris Lawrence Anderson admitted she voted to fire Boganey for fear of reprisals from the mob. “He was doing a great job,” she told the Star Tribune. “I didn’t want repercussions at a personal level.” Of course, neither Floyd nor Wright deserved to die. It is a tragedy for everyone involved. But it’s worth noting that before their fatal encounters with police, both men had been charged over crimes involving aggravated violence to women. Floyd served five years in jail after entering a woman’s home and pressing a gun into her stomach during a robbery. The two victims called the police because that’s what we do when a crime occurs. Police are the thin blue line between violent criminals who take what they want from the weak. Yet now people protected by wealth or the security apparatus of the state are telling those victims that they are on their own. A world without law and order is a very scary place. No one knows that better than the migrants streaming over the southern border. They’re escaping from countries where the rule of law is a joke, but they haven’t yet figured out we’re on the same lawless trajectory. Well stated. Neither Mr. Floyd or Mr. Wright "deserved" to die, but blaming it on "racism" is flat wrong

https://nypost.com/2021/04/14/minnesota-police-union-official-blames-daunte-wright-for-death/ The head of Minnesota’s largest police union slammed local officials over their handling of Daunte Wright’s police shooting death — as he blamed the 20-year-old victim for the fatal encounter. “This is going to be an unpopular statement,” Brian Peters, executive director of the Minnesota Police and Peace Officers Association, told WCCO news talk radio Wednesday. “Daunte Wright, if he would have just complied. He was told he was under arrest. They were arresting him on a warrant for weapons. He set off a chain of events that unfortunately led to his death.” “I’m not excusing it,” Peters continued. “But what we’re seeing in policing these days is that non-compliance by the public.” The controversial statement comes one day after Brooklyn Center Police Chief Tim Gannon and Officer Kimberly Potter, who shot and killed Wright during a traffic stop in the Minneapolis suburb Sunday, both resigned. Bodycam footage shows Potter yelling, “Taser! Taser!” before she fired off a single round from her service weapon, mortally wounding Wright. Gannon later said Potter, a 26-year veteran, thought she had grabbed her Taser instead of her firearm — although they are worn on opposite sides of an officer’s belt and vary radically in weight and appearance. Their letters of resignation came in the wake of a city council vote late Monday to terminate Gannon, Potter and City Manager Curt Boganey. “This is way over his head,” Peters said of Brooklyn Center Mayor Mike Elliott. “Both Curt Boganey and Tim Gannon were political pawns in whatever game the current mayor is playing. If I were the mayor, I would not allow the political activists to run the show.” Wright’s death — just 10 miles from the site of George Floyd’s police-custody death on May 25 last year — has sparked widespread outrage and protests in Brooklyn Center and beyond. State authorities are investigating the incident, and prosecutors in nearby Washington County, who took over the case, are expected to charge Potter as soon as Wednesday. I couldn't agree more. The LEO made the mistake by pulling the wrong weapon and will be punished severely for it - AS SHE SHOULD. But it is the offender's fault for causing her to feel the need to pull ANY weapon.

(IMHO) They still need Covid to remain a greater threat than it actually is......

Jessie Jackson 2.0

So an LEO pulls a guy over for expired tags, runs the name and finds there is a warrant for his arrest related to a misdemeanor firearms violation. Asks the individual out of the car and starts to place him under arrest when the individual begins to attempt to flee. The LEO mistakenly pulls her lethal weapon and pulls the trigger resulting in the offender's death. Absent race - the LEO should be suspended or fired, potentially charged resulting in jail time - which is most likely gonna happen. But since the offender was black, this LEO was obviously a racist pig who needs the heaviest book thrown at her for just wanting to kill blacks - and protesters need to loot because of it....... If it were a white man, the public response would have been "well he shouldn't have tried to run"..... Tell me I'm wrong.....

https://thenationalpulse.com/news/biden-detaining-more-minors-than-trump/?fbclid=IwAR28WohKNRAbY9o8mwZxt6PHsFt6DJfZ8ErRvpsORpdWBay2_Fb28n7Pgys Under President Biden, nearly seven times as many unaccompanied minors are being detained by either Customs and Border Patrol or Health and Human Services as compared to the Trump administration. A March 10th report from The Washington Post explains how “more than 8,500 migrant teens and children who crossed the border without their parents are being housed in Department of Health and Human Services (HHS)” and “nearly 3,500 more are stuck at Border Patrol stations waiting for beds in those shelters to open up.” These numbers constitute “the highest figure ever, according to internal data reviewed by The Washington Post.” In contrast, under the Trump administration, the largest number of unaccompanied minors being detained was roughly 2,600: Held in grim steel-and-concrete cells built for adults, these young people are spending an average of 107 hours awaiting transfer to an HHS-run shelter, well over the 72-hour legal limit, the data shows. The largest number of unaccompanied minors held this way during the Trump administration was about 2,600 in June 2019, according to congressional testimony and two former Customs and Border Protection officials who were involved in handling that crisis. That’s nearly five times as many unaccompanied children being held illegally under President Biden as compared to President Trump. And the disparity is still increasing; A March 31st report from ABC News reveals there are 17,641 unaccompanied migrant minors in government care, which equals an increase of roughly 50 percent in just three weeks. “As of a Tuesday report, there are 17,641 unaccompanied migrant minors in government care — 5,606 children are in CBP custody and 12,035 in the care of the Department of Human and Health Services, CBP told ABC News,” the article notes. The most recent data dump means the Biden regime is detaining nearly seven times as many unaccompanied minors as the Trump administration. The unearthed numbers also undercut President Biden’s narrative that the current border surge is part of a seasonal migration pattern. Meanwhile, AOC and her ilk are still silent. A "Seasonal Migration Pattern"? Are we talking about birds here? Come on man......

https://nypost.com/2021/04/07/bill-repealing-nursing-home-covid-19-liability-protections-approved-by-cuomo/ Governor Cuomo repealed a controversial law that shielded nursing homes and other essential businesses from coronavirus related lawsuits Tuesday night. The measure rolled back the “Emergency or Disaster Treatment Protection Act,” which granted health care facilities and workers liability immunity from negligence suits, and comes as Cuomo’s administration is under federal investigation for covering up some 9,000 COVID-19 related nursing home deaths last year. The scandal — exclusively revealed by The Post — weakened Cuomo politically and led to calls for him to resign as sexual harassment accusations against him swirled in the wake of the report. “As we near the passage of this year’s momentous budget, I am relieved to see corporate immunity, which was slipped into last year’s budget, fully repealed,” Bronx State Senator Alessandra Biaggi, one of the bill’s sponsor said in a statement Tuesday night. “This blanket immunity prevented thousands of families who lost loved ones to COVID-19 from seeking legal recourse, and potentially incentivized nursing home executives to cut corners — endangering staff and residents.” “The corporate immunity provision was a license to kill,” the Democrat previously told The Post Queens Assemblyman Ron Kim also co-sponsored the bill. Kim — whose uncle died of the coronavirus in a nursing home — said Cuomo, a fellow Democrat, threatened to “destroy” him, if he did not help the governor contain the damage of the death coverup. “’I can tell the whole world what a bad person you are and you will be finished,’” Kim said the governor told him in February. The law was passed despite opposition by the powerful Greater New York Hospital Association lobby. The measure is one of ten bills the Democrat-led Senate has spearheaded to bolster accountability and oversight of nursing homes and the health department in the wake of the scandal. Well this is getting interesting.......

https://nypost.com/2021/04/06/mlb-just-moved-all-star-game-to-a-state-with-tighter-voting-rules/ Major League Baseball has tapped Denver as its replacement All-Star Game site instead of Atlanta — even though Colorado’s voting rules are slightly more restrictive than Georgia’s new ones. Even without the Peach State’s optional two Sundays for early voting, it offers two more such days than the Centennial State. Both ask for photo ID for absentee ballots, while accepting basically the same substitutes. Both ban electioneering activists from handing out free food or drinks. The only real plus (by Democrats’ standards) is that Colorado mails out universal absentee ballots (with ID and signature requirements for it to count), but experts say that makes a minimal difference in how many actually vote. (Heck, the New York Times’ Nate Cohn says Georgia’s new law does basically nothing to restrict turnout.) This makes MLB more woke for shifting the lucrative event from a majority-black city to one that’s less than 10 percent black? Basically, this shows that baseball’s leaders are not only cowardly for going along with pressure from President Biden and other Democrats, but just plain dumb. Yep - just plain dumb......

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/georgia-gov-kemp-slams-stacey-abrams-biggest-flip-flopper-since-john-kerry-on-georgia-boycotts Georgia Republican Gov. Brian Kemp fired back at his 2018 Democratic opponent, ex-Georgia State Rep. Stacey Abrams, who has led the charge against the Peach State's new election law. Kemp told "The Story" that Abrams is appearing to have buyer's remorse after watching Major League Baseball decide to pull the lucrative All-Star Game out of Georgia — and a flood of boycott promises from liberal voters and activists. Last week, MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred Jr. announced he would be pulling the All-Star Game out of the state in response to Kemp signing the law, which prohibits electioneering within several dozen feet of a poll, expands some early voting, and institutes stronger identification requirements for Georgians seeking to vote absentee. Atlanta's Coca-Cola, led by CEO James Quincey, and Delta Airlines -- the state's largest private employer -- led by CEO Edward Bastian, also slammed the bill, causing in turn conservative voters and activists to threaten their own boycotts of the corporate behemoths. Kemp said Manfred "doesn't know what the hell he's talking about" when it comes to the alleged racism and inequities of the new law. "You know, they're referencing no specific points in the legislation. I'm glad to talk through any of those [CEO's], by the way. You know, it's the biggest lie that has been out there," said Kemp. "Obviously [MLB] didn't care what was said because they folded to the pressure. President Biden's handlers couldn't even get him a note card that told him what this bill did. Somebody is lying to you. It's not me. You can read the bill and prove that out." In that regard, host Martha MacCallum pointed to comments from Abrams, a high-profile Democrat in the state: "Black, Latino, AAPI and Native American voters that are the most suppressed over [the new law] are the most likely to be hurt by potential boycotts of Georgia. To our friends, please do not boycott us. To my fellow Georgians, stay and fight, stay and vote," Abrams said. Kemp accused Abrams of "profiting millions off of this" politicking. "People need to follow the money and see why they're doing this and so effective and, quite honestly why they're working so hard at this. It has nothing to do with the merits of the bill. It's political pressure from a minority group of people, the cancel culture. They're shaking people down for a long time," he said. He added that it is also likely a "distraction" for Democrats to use to keep Americans' mind off President Biden's border crisis and the "unconstitutional power grab" of H.R. 1, the 880-page election bill sponsored by Rep. John Sarbanes, D-Md. "I think just the contrary [of Abrams' remarks]," said Kemp. "I think people are ready to double down and get the truth out there." "You know, that is the biggest flip-flop since John Kerry I have ever seen. For someone that has been pressuring these corporations, pressuring Major League Baseball to now come out after the fact and say don't boycott? People are getting screwed in this, Martha." Kerry, Biden's climate 'czar' and the Democrats' 2004 presidential nominee, was accused of being a "flip-flopper" on almost every major issue from the economy to the Iraq War during his campaign against President Bush. Kemp said that the Democrats' now-successful calls for boycotts and relocations are hurting "hardworking" "small business people in Cobb County" and the Atlanta area -- as the All-Star Game was supposed to be played at the home of the Atlanta Braves. He said baseball fans and youth that dream of playing major league sports will also be hurt because the games are being "politicized." "People should be scared to death that it's going to come to their neighborhood, to their state, to their ball game, to their college, to their business," In response to MLB's pull-out from Atlanta, several other cities are now vying to be Manfred's chosen replacement. Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., is urging the MLB to move the game to his state, as the New York Mets have a stadium in Flushing, N.Y., and the Yankees in the South Bronx. Take the All-Star game to New York? Where the voting laws are already stricter than Georgia? Wait, isn't that hypocrisy? https://www.foxnews.com/politics/schumer-suggests-ny-mlb-all-star-game-state-with-fewer-early-voting-days-similar-food-drink-restriction Sen. Majority Leader Chuck Schumer suggested the MLB play its All-Star Game in New York, "where we are working to make it easier, not harder, to vote." In New York state there are fewer early voting days than Georgia and a restriction on passing out food and water over $1 in value to voters in line. "Racist voter suppression laws are now hurting Georgia's voters AND its economy. Georgia Republicans should be ashamed," Schumer said. "We would welcome @MLB to come to come play the All-Star Game in New York where we are working to make it easier, not harder, to vote." New York also requires an excuse to request an absentee ballot. The MLB announced plans Friday to move its All-Star Game and MLB draft due to the Republican-backed election reform in Georgia. It has not yet chosen a new location. "Major League Baseball fundamentally supports voting rights for all Americans and opposes restrictions to the ballot box," MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred said in a statement. "Fair access to voting continues to have our game’s unwavering support." The MLB is headquartered in New York City. Under the new Georgia bill, the Peach State offers 17 days of early voting to New York’s nine. Georgia bans passing out food and water to voters line within 150 feet, but allows for unattended water receptacles. New York bans passing out food and water, unless it’s under $1 in value and there’s no identification for who supplied it. FACT CHECKER DINGS BIDEN, MEDIA FOR 'JIM CROW' COMPARISON OF GEORGIA VOTING LAW Where the states differ is in voter ID requirements. Georgia’s new law requires voters to provide valid ID to vote by mail, as it already did for in-person voting. Previously, Georgia had relied on signature-matching to validate absentee ballots. New York does not require ID to vote by mail or in person, but ID is required to register to vote in federal elections. Georgia new law mandates two Saturdays of early voting and makes one Sunday optional. It mandates early voting hours must be at least 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. but can be up to 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. New York early voting hours vary by county. Georgia allows no-excuse vote-by-mail, while New York requires an excuse. Risk of contracting Covid-19 counts as an excuse. The Georgia law limits the number of ballot drop boxes to one per early voting site or one per 100,000 voters in the county, whichever number is smaller. That provision was seen as favoring rural areas over urban. Drop boxes in Georgia must be placed in a county election office or early-voting precinct location, so they’re only available during business hours to be monitored. New York law allows completed absentee ballots at a board office, an early voting location or an Election Day voting location. There were 1,300 polling sites in the 2020 election. President Biden has called the Georgia law "Jim Crow on steroids." "Imagine passing the law saying you cannot provide water or food for someone standing in line to vote. Can't do that? Come on," he said. this week. Come on, Man.. ...Since when does expanding access become a restriction?
