The media also has never seemed to care about all the young girls that Jeffrey Epstein abused, or the men that enjoyed hanging around with Epstein.

The Me-too movement was fake."

@ReadeAlexandra
I want to make something clear. If something happens to me, all roads lead to Joe Biden.
Joe Biden and DNC political machine threats, bullying and intimidation over the last three years will not work.
I am not suicidal. I should not be under investigation nor am I a foreign agent. I am a private citizen. I was a former staffer of Joe Biden’s that has chosen to step forward to tell the truth. The tactics using intimidation and bullying to silence me and suppress me using DOJ and FBI and social media will not work. Leave me alone. I will testify under oath in Congress if asked to do so and tell what happened and what I know. The Biden corruption must end. Period Thank you
@RepMTG
and
@mattgaetz
for inviting me to testify and caring about the truth!

Sebastian said...: The most striking thing about the GOP Biden data dump today is not the extent of Biden & Co. venality and corruption but that little or none of it--not the shell companies, not the cutouts, not the amounts of $$--seems to have been uncovered by intrepid MSM "journalists" who in any other case would have smelled blood and competed to get that investigative Pulitzer.; 5/10/23, 1:19 PM

Feminism is a class-disordered ideology in service to a minority. #HateLovesAbortion

That said, men, women, and "our Posterity" are from Earth. Feminists are from Venus. Masculinists are from Mars. Social progressives are from Uranus.; 5/10/23, 1:30 PM

That's OK. They are going down with the ship.

One big reason for their silence? The matching complacency on Wall Street -- guess it's everywhere these days. Nobody is worried about a thing!

VXN measures the volatility of Nasdaq stocks. It is at its lowest level since the NDX topped in November 2021.

Low volatility = no fear. Yet the stock index itself is far below its peak. But stocks, well, some of them, have been going up again for several months now. So what if it's just Microsoft and Apple. What, me worry?

Biden bribery? Ten million so far, and counting? Still a yawner, bub. Doesn't bother me, nobody cares and how could it matter to anything.; 5/10/23, 1:34 PM
Dear corrupt left, go F yourselves said...: The Biden family and its business associates created a complicated web of more than 20 companies, according to bank records obtained by the House Oversight Committee — a system, GOP lawmakers say, that was meant to conceal money received from foreign nationals.

Sixteen of the companies were limited liability companies formed during Joe Biden’s tenure as vice president, the committee said in a press conference on Wednesday. The Biden family, their business associates, and their companies received more than $10 million from foreign nationals’ and their related companies, the records show. These payments occurred both while Biden was in office as vice president and after his time in office ended.

Dear corrupt left, go F yourselves said...: MORE:
"The committee revealed Wednesday that records suggest the Biden family and its associates’ business dealings in Romania “bear clear indication of a scheme to peddle influence” from 2015 to 2017.

At the time, then-Vice President Biden spoke out against Romanian corruption while the Biden family received more than a million dollars from a company controlled by a Romanian national, Gabriel Popoviciu. Popoviciu, who has been accused of corruption, sent the money through a Biden family associate, according to the committee. Sixteen of the seventeen payments involved in the deal occurred while Biden was still in office. The money “stops flowing from the Romanian national soon after Joe Biden leaves the vice presidency,” Comer said. "; 5/10/23, 1:53 PM

rehajm said...: Posted here to avoid criticism of going 'off topic'...

Ann Althouse said...

"Why did you conclude I was referring only to this post?"

Where did I "conclude" anything?

In any case, comments in the post thread should be presumed to refer to the post. In fact, the instructions say: "Comments should respond to material raised in the post."

Do you want me to presume you don't follow instructions? You seem to think you can attack me for presuming you did and also to think that to presume is to conclude, which it isn't. And yet, I didn't even presume anything.

You're so far off. Why not just apologize?

In the post in question you posted a Tucker Carlson's video. I assumed since you posted it any content within it is fair game for the post. You sometimes add guard rails to certain posts but no such here. Why is the content of the video expected to be off limits by you?

In the video Tucker offers several examples of how the media manipulates and I immediately thought of you. That was the hot take- relevant because of what Tucker said in the video. Not attacking but social commentary, critique , criticism- the kind that goes on here every day...but now I am going to attack you a little- You've kind of been on wrong side of most of the major political themes of the last ten years. Go back and read what you wrote. MeToo gave themselves permission to lie about rape with 'her truth' yet it had not occurred to you what they were doing until I wrote about it. Interesting you said. COVID lockdowns- taunting your commentariat. Election fraud- taunting your commentariat. Consistently inconsistent in your cruel neutrality (see: electoral college Trump vs electoral college Biden) You're kind of a Mr. Magoo of social commentary. A Scooby and Shaggy level political sleuth. A Thomas Friedman of Peggy Noonans. An If they aren't reporting on it, it couldn't have happened bitter clinger to the New York Times and Washington Post...

...and I think it has to do with the type of manipulation Tucker is talking about.

So no, by your own set of rules, not off topIc IMO and as others have commented - you, trolling for an apology? That's rich. Have you ever apologized for anything you said instead of trying to wedge your other foot in your mouth?; 5/10/23, 2:43 PM

Jaq said...: So Santos has two charges of interstate wire fraud because of separate $564 unemployment checks sent to him from NYS to his bank in NYS, but, and this is where the true heinousness of his crime emerges, the funds passed through a server located outside of the State of New York!

Interstate fraud. Only in New York.

cfs said...: Even the WSJ has ignored the evidence presented against the Biden family this far. I guess they may be doing an in-depth article for tomorrow's edition. But, no mention at all????? Not even a blurb? They publish every accusation against Trump no matter the lack of evidence and open it for comments. However, anything about Biden or one of his cabinet members, there is either nothing, or a small article glossing over the issue, and it's always closed for comments.

Even Althouse didn't do any entry regarding the allegations against the Biden family. Or, maybe it's because she is unaware of it due to the lack of coverage in WaPo and NYTimes.; 5/10/23, 4:26 PM
