Last week we learned that contemporaneous US State Dept documents refute Joe Biden's contention that he was following US policy when he strong armed Ukraine into firing Viktor Shokin. Now we learn that Biden's claim that the EU was also calling for Shokin's firing is also untrue. The EU did agree with the US assessment of Shokin's performance; they agreed that Shokin "had met its goals for fighting corruption, organized crime and human trafficking."

Europeans latest to provide evidence undercutting Joe Biden story about firing Ukrainian prosecutor

"The report approvingly noted numerous other commitments Shokin and other Ukrainian leaders made to fast-track and build on the progress they were making reforming anti-corruption tools and policies.

Calling Shokin's work "an important step forward" the report continued to say that “The progress noted in the fifth report on anti-corruption policies, particularly the legislative and institutional progress, has continued." The EU added that "civil society continued to play a key role in moving the anti-corruption agenda forward,” the report said, in one of the most glowing the Commission had given Ukraine since 2015."

Joe Biden is a lying dog-faced pony soldier.

New Mexico's governor has suspended the 2nd Amendment in New Mexico. Residents are now prohibited from carrying ANY weapon, even for personal safety.

From where she derives this power is a mystery. It is now illegal to carry any weapon in that state, and you can be fined up to $5,000 and put in jail for 1 year despite the fact that the United States Constitution gives every American the absolute and inviolable right to carry a firearm for their personal safety.

The United States of America is under attack by the Democrat Party, a rogue political party bent on destroying the country by burning the Constitution.

Come on, Original Mike, John Solomon just does not write the truth. His newest version of an old story is a false regurgitation of what is already known about Viktor Shokin's firing that was previously reported by the Obama administration and verified by the EU.

After her decades of supporting feminism, the left-wing take on Althouse and other members of h. sapiens who call themselves feminists is that they are “chest-feeding bleeders with a bonus hole.”

There must be a lesson in there somewhere.

"The real issue to my mind was that someone in Washington needed to engage VP Biden quietly and say that his son Hunter's presence on the Burisma board undercut the anti-corruption message the VP and we were advancing in Ukraine b/c Ukrainians heard one message from us and then saw another set of behavior with the family association with a known corrupt figure whose company was known for not playing by the rules," embassy official George Kent wrote to Yovanovitch in the Nov. 22, 2016, email marked "confidential." - State Department Memo

I love how the writer of this imagines that Joe Biden doesn't know what his son is doing.

The Surgeon General of Florida has told its residents NOT TO TAKE the CDC's latest vaccine booster, citing studies showing that the vaccine is DANGEROUS.

Lapado went on to claim global studies showed people who had the boosters were more likely to catch COVID itself.

"Lapado went on to claim global studies showed people who had the boosters were more likely to catch COVID itself."

The Democrat Party is today a clear and present danger to the United States of America. Its suspension of our rights (see New Mexico's governor banning the possession of guns) and the deliberate infection of people to a communicable disease represent TREASON against the United States.

The Democrat Party must be outlawed and membership in the party criminalized in any areas controlled by the GOP.

Some mornings the sunrise makes things blindingly clear. Democracy dies at the hands of Democrats. They clutch it too tightly, believing that it belongs only to them.

"I want to make sure that you understand what is about to happen so you can prepare.

Biden canceled all of the Alaska drilling on Federal land. At the same time he stopped allowing liquid natural gas from being transported by train.

That leaves the only mode of transportation by trucking. About 2 months ago the largest trucking company went out of business:"

I think this situation merits a reminder that correlation does not equal causation. If you look at the people most conscientious about getting boosted, as a group they are more likely to be exposed (e.g., healthcare workers) and/or are at higher risk (e.g., the elderly).

You mean like when Solomon wrote that Russia collusion was a fraud manufactured by the Hillary campaign or that the Hunter laptop was authentic?

As I understand it this new variant does not appear to be particularly dangerous to most people and that there have been zero clinical trials indicating that it is either safe or effective. Just “educated” guesswork.

And of course we’ve all seen the fine work that the CDC has done over the past few years.

Seems like prudent advice to me.

New Mexico governor issues order suspending the right to carry firearms in public across Albuquerque

"SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) — New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham on Friday issued an emergency order suspending the right to carry firearms in public across Albuquerque and the surrounding county for at least 30 days in response to a spate of gun violence.

The Democratic governor said she expects legal challenges but was compelled to act because of recent shootings, including the death of an 11-year-old boy outside a minor league baseball stadium this week.

Lujan Grisham said state police would be responsible for enforcing what amount to civil violations. Albuquerque police Chief Harold Medina said he won’t enforce it, and Bernalillo County Sheriff John Allen said he’s uneasy about it because it raises too many questions about constitutional rights.

The firearms suspension, classified as an emergency public health order, applies to open and concealed carry in most public places, from city sidewalks to urban recreational parks. The restriction is tied to a threshold for violent crime rates currently only met by the metropolitan Albuquerque. Police and licensed security guards are exempt from the temporary ban.

Violators could face civil penalties and a fine of up to $5,000, gubernatorial spokeswoman Caroline Sweeney said. Under the order, residents still can transport guns to some private locations, such as a gun range or gun store, provided the firearm has a trigger lock or some other container or mechanism making it impossible to discharge.

Lujan Grisham acknowledged not all law enforcement officials were on board with her decision.

“I welcome the debate and fight about how to make New Mexicans safer,” she said at a news conference, flanked by law enforcement officials.

John Allen said in a statement late Friday that he has reservations about the order but is ready to cooperate to tackle gun violence.

“While I understand and appreciate the urgency, the temporary ban challenges the foundation of our constitution, which I swore an oath to uphold,” Allen said. “I am wary of placing my deputies in positions that could lead to civil liability conflicts, as well as the potential risks posed by prohibiting law-abiding citizens from their constitutional right to self-defense.”

Enforcing the governor’s order also could put Albuquerque police in a difficult position with the U.S. Department of Justice regarding a police reform settlement, said police spokesman Gilbert Gallegos.

“All of those are unsettled questions,” he said late Friday.

The Democrat Party is a hot bed of democracy. They love democracy so much, that the Party apparatchiks have greased the skids to nominate Joe "China owns me!" Biden. Any other candidate, such as RFK, Jr., will not be able to collect the delegates he might earn in New Hampshire or Iowa. It's Joe "China owns me!" Biden or bust! The apparatchiks have spoken!

Third party candidates will not be tolerated. You can bet the apparatchiks will do anything to throw third party candidates off the ballot. That luminary of democracy, Rob Reiner, has declared any third party candidate would cause democracy to self-destruct! He also says Donald Trump must be kept off the ballot. Such a supporter of the voters' rights to select a president. As long as it's a Democrat.

Vote Democrat to save democracy from those evil third parties and Republicans. And if the voters don't vote Democrat, the counting centers will fix the voters' errors and declare that the voters really did vote Democrat!

a new figure now emerges into operation - a clever prosecutor who finally succeeded in confiscating Oschadbank funds.
In closing days of Trump admin, this prosecutor (Kulyk) was sanctioned by US government for "promotion of fraudulent and unsubstantiated allegations" on Biden

My bet is that no effort was ever made to prove that his allegations against the Bidens were without merit before sanctioning this pest to the kleptocratic Ukrainian billionaire oligarchs, you know, Joe and Hunter Biden's clients. Hunter doing the only job a crack head is fit for, of course, being the bag man. Every crime family has a bag man.

Just sayin'.

@tim, in fact just prior to Vice President Joe Biden accepting Ukrainian cash to meddle in that country’s affairs the European Commission had published a report that strongly praised the work Shokin was doing to clean up corruption in his country.
