    Was the no show job Hunter had in Ukraine from the pro Russian side or the pro Ukrainian side?  Just curious which side we're on when the marker is called in.  

    Good question!  In any event, I propose that Hunter B. is appointed as Ambassador to Ukraine.  Or one could make him a regional ambassador, you know of that whole area.  He's been there before and knows one or two of the words they speak.  Plus... Payday!

    Also Biden:

    If this election bill is not passed the 2022 elections won't be "legitimate."

    He doesn't do contemporaneous.  I'm not sure that it's senility (might be though), so much as his ADD.  That's why this is only the second full news conference he's had since gaining the office.

    I think the final call was BS on the FIA, but the true great battle there was Checo holding back Lewis for Max to gain ground. That was fun to watch.

    Agree with the Checo thing.  However, I don't see the issue Merc raised.  Then there's the minor detail, where Max legitimately passed Lewis after the safety car exited.  Lewis never got that back.

    Do we really feel sorry that Lewis didn't get that eighth championship?

    (Almost) all of my respect for Toto has now gone out the window.

    Does anyone remember back in 2006 or even 2007, before Obama, when black and white people actually got along? The time before every white person was characterized as a “racist” for simply being born white, and every black person was labeled a victim when people were people regardless of their skin color?

    <snip>

    I grew up in the all white suburbs of Detroit, and I've spent the last 45+ years (my adult life) trying to remove all of the stereotypical racist thoughts instilled in me by parents, friends and others.  I thought I was doing pretty well, I moved beyond looking at someone's color to judge them.  I was even able to look beyond someone's culture, and not to judge them.  I just wanted everyone to be able to at least have some form of civil discourse during our everyday lives.

    And then the summer of 2020 happened, and I learned that I am still (and always will be) a racist - and that there's nothing I can do about it.  I also learned that black (and some white people) don't like me because I'm white (my perception here).  So we're back to judging by skin color?

    So all that hard earned trust built over decades has come crashing down.

    How will I rebuild that trust again?

    Whatch'er seein' there - that's something called "Humility," I'm sure of it.  Or, he's filling his pants (sts).

    I can remember a time when I held a very firm belief that our government wouldn’t actually make a run on our right to own guns.  This was largely due to the fact that I didn’t think there were enough members of our military or police force that would salute smartly and do the work necessary to remove guns from law abiding citizens.  I’m clearly wrong.  Hell, I’m convinced that there are folks on these very threads that would gladly get behind gun confiscation efforts.   

    You may well be right.

    Can you imagine the logistics involved in removing all of the legal firearms in the US (Illegal firearms won't be removed)?  I mean going door to door, and searching every nook and cranny in every house apartment and business in the nation - wow.  I think they'll use more insidious methods to start out with, however, including bribes, extortion and the IRS.  

    Apologies for slipping into conspiracy land for a moment, but that would be a huge effort, eh?

    Huawei CFO Meng released back to China in what can only be interpreted as the Biden admin caving to bullying. 

     

    What frustrates me the most in this whole situation is how successful China's false information campaign was. There are a TON of people, particularly on the left, who believe Meng was taken in retaliation for two Canadian citizens caught spying and not the other way around. For whatever reason, there is a splinter of the Democratic party (but not all of them) who just bow to China and have no desire to protect US interest in issues involving China. But what's been extraordinarily damaging to our strategy at approaching China has been this strategy of appeasement that Biden seemed to have carried over from his terms with Obama. 

    We need to wake up people. There are 100s of thousands of expats living and working in China. They are all at risk now to become political hostages if the US ever wishes to enforce its laws on Chinese citizens abroad. 

    He may have been caving to that kid up in Canada* (Trudeau), this lying foreign girl was traded for two Canadian diplomats.

    *Not to be confused with that "Fat kid in North Korea."

    This is ridiculous. 

    Pretty much.  You know when someone is pandering (like this example), they can can say just about anything to make their base feel good.  And boy does it make me feel good to know we're going to be watching what goes in and what goes out!

    Then there's the BoJo/Biden news conference this morning.  Let me paraphrase his 'interaction' with the press: "Were you guys going to ask me a question?  Then get outa here."
