[PJ] Remember the abandoned laptop that belonged to Hunter Biden—the laptop even Hunter himself conceded "could be" his—that was left in a repair shop in Wilmington, Delaware, in 2019, the one that he never came back for?
Well, the Daily Mail received a copy of the hard drive and has reviewed the contents of the laptop, and there’s a treasure trove of dirty secrets in there.
According to text messages from 2019, Hunter begged his father to run for president. Not because the country needed him, or because he was the most likely candidate to win... Hunter begged Joe to run to salvage Hunter’s own reputation.
But that revelation is small beans compared to the one about Hunter repeatedly avoiding police action against him, due to his regular run-ins with drug dealers and prostitutes. Hunter’s illegal activities would normally have resulted in criminal charges or an investigation, including drug trafficking and prostitution.
Hunter also "blew hundreds of thousands on prostitutes, drugs and luxury cars, leaving him scrambling to avoid jail for $320k in unpaid taxes."
Information on the laptop also reveals that Hunter was receiving unauthorized Secret Service protection, even on a week-long drug and prostitute binge in Hollywood in 2018. The Secret Service has claimed that no Bidens were under their protection at the time.
Hunter Biden not only has a PornHub account, but he has earned "66 award badges, including a badge for reaching 50 subscribers, watching 500 videos, and watching porn in high definition."
Hunter also appears to be obsessed with making pornographic films with prostitutes. "The hard drive contains hundreds of pictures of naked women and naked selfies of Hunter, as well as dozens of videos."
An expert authenticated the laptop for the Daily Mail, the newspaper reported. The outlet found a total of 103,000 text messages, 154,000 emails and more than 2,000 photos on the laptop. Here are the key findings from the forensic examination:
The Daily Mail found emails for multiple accounts on the laptop dating back to 2009, and other data which "appears to be related to Mr. Biden" between 2016 and 2019.
The report’s findings were consistent with the known timeline for the hard drive. A Wilmington, Delaware, computer store work order with Hunter’s signature shows he left his 2017 MacBook Pro laptop there on April 12, 2019.
Hunter’s iCloud email address was added to the laptop’s system on October 21, 2018, as well as his work email at his firm Rosemont Seneca on February 2, 2019.
The same day, a Gmail address he used to log onto sex cam sites and another personal Gmail address belonging to Hunter were also added.
Beau Biden’s old Gmail account was added on February 7, 2019.
Emails addressed to Hunter’s various email addresses dating from December 2009 to December 2020 were found on the system.
An iPad with the name "Hunter’s iPad" — and three email addresses associated with the Biden family — was backed up on the laptop and on iCloud in January 2019 and again a month later.
"The operating system timestamps appear to be authentic, and no evidence was found to suggest that the timestamps or data were altered or manufactured," the report says. "No indications were found that would suggest the data was manufactured."
Hunter Biden Claims He Has ’No Recollection’ of Woman With Whom He Fathered a Child.
The laptop also had information about Hunter Biden’s infamous gun incident in which the Secret Service got involved. "In texts to his therapist, Hunter claimed that when Delaware cops found the gun ’the FBI and the Secret Service’ got involved, and that Hallie [Biden] told officers she took the weapon because she was ’afraid for the kids’ and ’because she was scared I would harm myself due to my drug and alcohol problem’."
The information on the laptop also proves he lied on his background check to obtain the gun.
The Daily Mail has posted screenshots of several text messages and some disturbing photos on its website.
Joe Biden has often said "I’m proud of my son" and that he’s the "smartest guy I know" in regards to Hunter. I dunno. I think if Hunter was smart, he wouldn’t have left a laptop with so much incriminating evidence on it at a repair shop.

I am surprised that you can't buy duplicated Hunter Biden hard drives on eBay by now. But possession of those hard drives is probably against US law due to prohibited pron.

Did he kick back illicit funds received from any of the overseas criminals to his father?
Did he participate in any of the crimes that his Chinese ex-business partner Philip Ho was tried, convicted and sentenced to prison for such as money laundering and corruption / bribery?
Did he expose himself to, have sex with it otherwise abuse his 14 year-old niece?
When how and where did "the Big Guy" participate in Hunter and his Chinese Communist Party front-company partners' business schemes?
That familiar media sidestep and eye avert.
[GatewayPundit] Christian doctor and author of “Angels in the ER”, Dr. Robert D. Lesslie, was murdered in his home on Wednesday afternoon along with his wife and 2 grandchildren (+1 person of unknown relation) by former NFL player Phillip Adams.
Five people were killed — including a prominent doctor, his wife and their two young grandchildren — in a shooting at a home near the South Carolina city of Rock Hill on Wednesday afternoon, authorities said.
A sixth person also was injured in the shooting, and authorities eventually found a suspect in the suspect’s home nearby, York County sheriff’s officials said early Thursday without elaborating.

Long history of alcohol and drug abuse is where I'd put my chips.
Its the common thread when the pro athletes do something which can't be covered up, especially so with the NFL.
I believe the Jovan Belcher lifestyle is much more common then the league and union want known, because a BAL of 2 because of all the drugs was a typical night before a noon game until his home hoe called him on being with a side hoe and tired from beating her quiet before lost it in a murder suicide.
Even got pulled over on the way home, let go with a Go Get'm Tomorrow Champ!
Of course, with his brains splattered all over the ticket booth, he couldn't be held from the game with a pulled hammy, made even by being pulled over by doing a series of PR commercials for the union, and home hoe's death a possible suicide.
A female postal service worker was brutally beaten in broad daylight in Flint, Michigan by several women over delayed stimulus checks. The women are filmed pummeling the woman and pulling her hair.
Police say the woman is in good condition and an arrest was made in the beating.
According to the video, the white female is a USPS postal worker and she is attacked by multiple African American women regarding "stimulus money":

Technically a federal offense. Being of the 'protected' group, unlikely to happen.
Probably the best act would be to post in the neighborhood that it is going to be treated like owners with vicious dogs, mail isn't going to be delivered. You have to come to the servicing mail distribution center for pick up.
Like drug users, they get mean when they don't get their fix. The poison of the 'Great Society' and massive welfare.

Black violence against whites is growing very rapidly across a wide variety of geographic and business locations. Just plain race based aggression because the current woke revolution and government statements are green-lighting it, or so they think. This heightens self-segregation by whites, which feeds the false racism charges, which is creating this dystopian spiral downwards. All thanks to the Democratic party use of race-baiting as a political cudgel. This isn't going to end well...

[RS] As announced by Fox News on Thursday morning, former Secretary of State under Donald Trump, Mike Pompeo, has accepted a paid contributor position with the network.
Fox News Media announced via press release that Pompeo has accepted a new contributor role, which will provide the former DefSec with a regular platform to not only get his message out on a regular basis; it will also serve the Kansan well if he eventually decides to seek a Senate seat —as has previously been speculated — or the presidency. Personally, I believe he’d be more inclined to run for the Senate.

This has been no ordinary year at no ordinary college. We continue to deal with the challenges of a global pandemic. Despite it all, the Corps of Cadets has persevered and remains focused on their academics, military training, and athletics. Conditions are ripe for a strong finish to the 2020-21 academic year. Cadets are preparing to resume Spring FTX activities after a year hiatus, the administration is making arrangements for in-person graduation and commissioning ceremonies, the demand to be a part of the incoming Class of 2022+3 is strong, and our athletic teams are competing and winning.
Additionally, VMI began to reflect on our diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts as the nation came to terms with the social unrest last summer. Prior to any involvement of the team hired by the Commonwealth to review our practices, the Institute initiated the following:
• Released the "Five Pillars" plan for addressing and improving DEI issues;
• Formed a DEI Committee to oversee and monitor all matters race and gender related;
• Created a diversity dashboard to monitor admissions, graduation rates, and hiring at all levels;
• Formed a Commemorations and Memorials Naming and Review Committee to review and make recommendations to the Board regarding all confederate iconography and make recommendations going forward for naming;
• Launched a search for a Chief Diversity Officer who would report directly to the superintendent;
• Relocated the Stonewall Jackson statue to the Virginia Museum of the Civil War and New Market Battlefield State Historical Park;
• Recasted the New Market ceremony to a memorial commemorating all VMI alumni who have fallen on the field of honor throughout the nation’s wars and military conflicts;
• The new cadet oath ceremony will now take place each year on the VMI post;
• Discontinued the re-enactment charge on the New Market battlefield by new cadets;
• Finalized plans to recenter the Parade Ground flag poles on New Barracks (Marshall Arch) shifting the Institute’s symbolic focus to our 20th century leaders;
• Implemented efforts to refurbish the Jonathan Daniels ’61 Courtyard, in honor of an alumnus killed for his efforts during the civil rights movement;
• Enhanced racial sensitivity training for cadets, faculty, and staff;
• Began development of a new, core curriculum course required of all cadets that includes study of the U.S. civil rights movement;
• Reviewed and improved the Human Resources Diversity Hiring Program; and
• Adopted many of the seven guiding principles on DEI proposed by former Del. Jennifer Carroll Foy ’03 and endorsed by the BOV in October 2020.
The VMI Alumni Agencies have also taken a leadership role in the area of diversity, equity, and inclusion. Their three major initiatives have focused on increasing alumni engagement among underserved populations, a mentoring program between alumni and cadets, and maximizing the reunion experience for all have led to the following:
• Creation of a director-at-large for training and diversity on the Alumni Association Board of Directors;
• Special reception for minority alumni;
• Weekend celebration for the 50th anniversary of Black cadets at VMI;
• Diversity discussions and town halls;
• Establishment of a diversity and inclusion subcommittee;
• Development and distribution of a minority alumni engagement survey;
• Alumni engagement conference; and
• Diversity conference.
On Friday, 9 April 2021, the Board of Visitors’ Commemorations and Memorials Naming and Review Committee will meet to discuss potential changes to ceremonies, building names, or other commemorations. This is the next step in the process that is intended to ensure that the grounds of VMI present an inviting and neutral landscape and its memorials properly reflect our commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging.
The recommendations that the committee makes on Friday will then be considered by the Board of Visitors at their meeting 30 April—1 May 2021.
These changes continue to strengthen VMI. As an institution of higher education whose mission is to develop citizen-soldiers, we have a responsibility to prepare our cadets for the diversity that they will encounter as young professionals in the military or public and private sectors. These steps are a clear demonstration of VMI’s long history of change. Together, we will continue to move the Institute forward to provide leaders of character who are well-prepared for the challenges of our time to both the Commonwealth and the nation.
Respectfully,
Maj. Gen. Cedric T. Wins ’85
U.S. Army (Retired)
Interim Superintendent
Virginia Military Institute

There is no VMI any more, B. There remains only a mob of poorly dressed re-enactors, terribly put out by all those few, icky remaining mil duties. Should have been closed long ago, keeping it open is an affront to serious alumni. No clearer example of what Iowahawk says except maybe the Ranger-ettes.

Researchers say grain waste from beer production -- a protein- and fiber-rich powder-like substance -- can be turned into novel protein sources and biofuels, according to a study to be presented Tuesday at the spring meeting of the American Chemical Society.
Beer sales have declined in recent years, but it remains the most popular alcoholic beverage in the United States, with the average American adult consuming more than 26 gallons each year.
Currently, after the flavors have been extracted from barley, millet, wheat and other grains, some of the byproduct is used to make cattle feed, but most ends up in landfills.
Scientists turn brewing waste into fresh yeast to make more beer.
Now, scientists have developed a technique for turning the waste material into novel protein sources -- for animals, as well as humans -- and biofuels.
"There is a critical need in the brewing industry to reduce waste," lead investigator Haibo Huang, a postdoctoral researcher at Virginia Tech, said in a press release.
In the beer industry, craft brews have enjoyed a tremendous renaissance over the last two decades, fueling demand for a wide variety of grains -- and yielding large amounts of waste.
According to the latest research, that waste is 70 percent fiber and 30 percent protein. All that fiber is no problem for cows, but it's too much for the human digestive system.
To separate the fiber and protein, researchers developed what's called a wet milling fractionation method. Other separation techniques require the waste grain to be dried, but the new method works with wet grain powder, fresh from the beer processing plant.
After testing a trio of commercially available enzymes, researchers found alcalase separated the fiber and protein most efficiently. Once separated, the grain pulp is sieved, yielding a protein concentrate and a fiber-rich product.
At first, scientists proposed using the protein powder to make fish feed for aquaculture, but more recently, researchers have been experimenting with the powder as a protein source in human food products.
To utilize the fiber-rich product, researchers turned to Bacillus lichenformis, a bacteria species only recently discovered in a spring at Yellowstone National Park.
The bacteria is capable of breaking down sugars in the product into 2,3-butanediol, an organic compound used to make a variety of products, including rubber and biofuel.

waste from beer has been used for decades
in fact waste from beer probably led to the discovery of full loaf bread 9000 to 6000 years ago

How is this new? Waste grain has been feed to livestock for thousands of years.
Scientists turn brewing waste into fresh yeast to make more beer.
Congratulations... you discovered Barm. The ancient people up until prohibition last century used it to make more beer and leaven bread. That is what they used instead of the packet yeast we have today. Bread used to have a hops taste because of that and even in the early 20th century there were recipes that talked about adding that flavor back in since they didn't have barm.
Me. I can’t abide the stuff, even before having the alcohol tolerance of a small guppy. But that just means more for the rest of you, so I’m sure it won’t go to waste.
[BREITBART] The Endocrine Society, an international organization of over 18,000 endocrine clinical specialists and researchers, has released a scientific statement that asserts there are only two sexes — male and female — and that biological sex is measurable and is to be differentiated from gender identity.
The society explained in a blurb that "biological sex is often confused with gender in our society," and asserted:
The two sexes are differentiated as females, who have ovaries and produce eggs, and males, who have testes and produce sperm. In mammals, females typically have XX chromosomes and males typically have XY chromosomes. All sex differences in the zygote, or fertilized egg, stem from harboring two different sex chromosomes. Both sexes have all classes of reproductive hormones such as estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone, albeit at different levels. Differences in sexual development may result in a person’s biological sex not aligning with these traditional definitions.

"biological sex is often confused with gender in our society,"
[ENGLISH.AAWSAT] Archaeologists said on Thursday they had uncovered a large ancient pharaonic city that had lain unseen for centuries near some of Egypt's best known monuments.
The city was built more than 3,400 years ago during the opulent reign of Amenhotep III, one of Egypt's most powerful pharaohs, the Egyptian archaeologist overseeing the excavations, Zahi Hawass, said.
The team began searching for a mortuary temple near Luxor in September, but within weeks found mud brick formations in every direction, Rooters quoted Zahi Hawass as saying in a statement.
They unearthed the well-preserved city that had almost complete walls and rooms filled with tools of daily life along with rings, scarabs, colored pottery vessels and mud bricks bearing seals of Amenhotep's cartouche.
"The city's streets are flanked by houses ... some of their walls are up to three meters high," Hawass said.
The excavations lie on the West Bank of Luxor near the Colossi of Memnon, Medinet Habu and the Ramesseum, or mortuary temple of King Ramses II, not far from the Valley of the Kings.
"This is a very important discovery," Peter Lacovara, director of the US-based Ancient Egyptian Heritage and Archaeology Fund, told Rooters.
The state of preservation and the amount of items from everyday life brought to mind another famous excavation, he added.
"It is a sort of ancient Egyptian Pompeii and shows the critical need to preserve this area as an archaeological park," said Lacovara, who has worked at the Malqata palace area for more than 20 years but was not involved in the excavations.
The site contains a large number of ovens and kilns for making glass and faience, along with the debris of thousands of statues, said Betsy Bryan, a specialist of Amenhotep III's reign. faience = glazed ceramic ware. I had to look it up
"Just to locate the manufacturing centers opens up the detail of how the Egyptians under a great and wealthy ruler such as Amenhotep III did what they did. This will furnish knowledge for many years to come," she added.
The city extends west to the ancient workmen's village of Deir el-Medina, Hawass said.
According to historical references it included three of Amenhotep III's palaces and the empire's administrative and industrial center, Hawass's statement added.

If the Greens can ever figure out a technology to store and transport solar energy KSA would really benefit. (I hope that solar storage and transportation technology does develop, because 'conventional' energy is nearing its end of life.)
MOSCOW (AP) — The Kremlin said Friday it fears the resumption of full-scale fighting in eastern Ukraine and could take steps to protect civilians there, a stark warning that comes amid a Russian troop buildup along the border.
The statement by Russian President Vladimir Putin’s spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, reflected the Kremlin’s determination to prevent Ukraine from using force to try to reclaim control over separatist-controlled territory in the country’s east.
Ukrainian forces and Russia-backed separatists have been fighting in eastern Ukraine since shortly after Moscow’s 2014 annexation of Ukraine’s Crimea Peninsula. More than 14,000 people have died in the conflict, and efforts to negotiate a political settlement have stalled.
Ukraine and the West have accused Russia of sending in troops and weapons to help separatists, accusations that Moscow has denied. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy visited his country’s soldiers in the Donbas region on Thursday.
[RedState] If you’ve been wanting to tote a gun in the state of Tennessee, your options just got a little more…open.
On Thursday, Gov. Bill Lee signed a bill that’ll change things for firearm owners in The Volunteer State who’d like to keep their sidearms at their sides.
The law — which takes effect July 1st — will allow both concealed and open carry without a permit.
Such a thing — as you may know — is often called “constitutional carry.”
Via Twitter, the governor thanked the state legislature as well as the National Rifle Association:
“I signed constitutional carry today because it shouldn’t be hard for law-abiding Tennesseans to exercise their #2A rights. Thank you, members of the General Assembly and @NRA, for helping get this done.”
As for details, Tennessee House Bill 786 — the Permitless Handgun Carry Bill — allows individuals 21 and older to carry handguns openly or in concealment without a carry license.
Military members aged 18-20 can do the same.
The legislation doesn’t cover long guns.
The bill also increases penalties for those who commit gun crimes.
The law boosts theft of a firearm from a misdemeanor to a felony and mandates six months of incarceration for the offense, up from the current 30-day sentence. It also bars felons convicted of possessing a firearm from early release.
Who won’t be benefitting from the new law? That would be convicted felons, those convicted of domestic violence or stalking, those committed by court to mental institutions, those with recent DUI convictions, and those who were otherwise already prohibited from obtaining a carry permit.
Tennessee is the 18th state to pass such a law.
Its predecessors:
Vermont
Alaska
Arizona
Wyoming
Maine
Kansas
West Virginia
Idaho
Mississippi
Missouri
New Hampshire
North Dakota
South Dakota
Oklahoma
Kentucky
Arkansas
Iowa
It may be true that no region is spared, some are doing much better than others. Iceland and New Zealand are doing pretty well without much vaccine (being islands). Some of the high vaccine countries are doing well. Chile, with a relatively high vaccination rate (about 35%) is suffering a surge (they use the Chinese vaccine). Poland is suffering a big surge with no big vaccination program. India is now suffering a big surge and has bought 100M doses of the Russian vaccine.
Among the States in the USA, nobody has conquered the problem but some are doing pretty well, some are hurting a lot.
Regarding lockdowns, some lockdowns seem to have worked (Israel and New Zealand) some seem to have been futile.
It will take years before we even half understand this virus.

A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
