[Federalist] President Joe Biden’s second son Hunter Biden may have lied about his drug use on a Firearms Transaction Record he used to purchase a revolver in 2018, Politico reported after obtaining records and receipts concerning the transaction.
While lying on a federal government document is considered a felony, Hunter did not face an investigation over his answer.
The .38 revolver Hunter purchased soon became the center of a missing gun investigation, in which the Secret Service reportedly tried to interfere on behalf of the Biden family. Hunter’s gun reportedly went temporarily missing after his late brother’s wife and his then-love interest Hallie Biden threw it away in a trash can near a grocery store.
After police and the FBI arrived on the scene to question the couple, two Secret Service agents equipped with "badges and identification cards" reportedly visited the gun store and demanded the owner turn over the Firearms Transaction Record used during Hunter’s purchase. The owner, however, held onto the records until the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives, which was authorized to review them, could get to them because he "suspected that the Secret Service officers wanted to hide Hunter’s ownership of the missing gun in case it were to be involved in a crime."

"Hunter did not face an investigation over his answer."
And will not. Ever.

The family of Central Committee Members are immune to the expectations of mere proletarian Justice. They are entitled to more nuanced standards because of their value to the Praesidium. Questioning this marks you as a counterrevolutionary.
[NYPOST] Hot dog, does this container ship have bad luck.
Before getting itself into a pickle by running aground in the Suez Canal, this unfortunate vessel drew one.
According to nautical tracking service VesselFinder, the massive Ever Given charted a route resembling a penis, testicles and an enormous butt in the Red Sea before it became stuck, causing an intercontinental traffic jam in the maritime artery.
As for the possibility that the vessel tracking site somehow conjured the data as a juvenile genital joke, "There is no room for some kind of conspiracies or false data," a spokesperson for the site told Vice.
"Innocent, but terrible luck," disinformation researcher John Scott-Railton captioned a tweet of the Ever Given's watery, X-rated route. That, or someone is F'n with the NAV computer. Perhaps remotely.

Question:
Was the captain/person steering the boat questioned to make sure it was not deliberate?
Because now ships will have to add 2,000 plus miles to their voyage and chance the roaring 40's.

It's an extremely narrow canal for the type of giant cargo ships that traverse it these days. The wonder is that this sort of thing doesn't happen more often.

^ True. The U.S. Navy just announced they are heading that way.
[Red State] While we’ve now seen some pictures of the CBP facilities that are so crowded and are so problematic, the Biden team is still not letting the media generally in to see the facilities and they’re still blocking the CBP from freely talking to the media about what’s actually going on.
Biden was asked about that during the press conference today and his response was decidedly unsatisfactory, it amounted to well, we’re going to keep doing that until we achieve what we want there. Huh? That wasn’t even an answer.
So what’s his answer to how Getty photographer John Moore was treated when he was just trying to do his job, taking pictures of the illegal aliens streaming in at the border?
According to Moore, he was removed by local law enforcement who said they were operating "under orders" from the CBP (who is acting under orders from the White House).
[FinanceYahoo] Shares in dual-listed Chinese companies fell sharply on Thursday in Asia after the U.S. securities regulator adopted measures that would kick foreign companies off American stock exchanges if they do not comply with U.S. auditing standards.
The move by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) adds to the unprecedented regulatory crackdown in China on domestic technology companies, citing concerns that they have built market power that stifles competition.

An official at Taiwan's state-owned defense institute said one long-range, land-based missile had already entered production, with three other long-range missiles in development.
It was "not convenient" to disclose how far the missile could fly, he said.https://t.co/4uThalun3a

...And don't forget that for some years now, Taiwan has been considered a possible 'breakout' nuclear power - no assembled warheads, but a piece here, and a piece there, and in a month or so you got one. Or more.

..wasn't there some rumor years back of a consortium of (apartheid) South Africa, Taiwan, and Israel doing a open nuke test somewhere in the Indian Ocean? Or was that just one huge meteor flash that was picked up?

The Feds say it was a 'meteor flash'. No other exploding meteors - and there have been some big ones since - have recreated that effect, but trust the Feds.
(sarc/OFF)
PS - was likely the South Africans.

I'll bet they fly far enough to hit 3 Gorges Dam.
[BREITBART] The top diplomat for the nation of the Philippines, Foreign Affairs Secretary Teodoro Locsin, Jr., reportedly urged the country’s Senate on Wednesday to embrace a mutual defense treaty between the nation and the United States to involve the American military in its ongoing territorial conflict with China.
Locsin, the most powerful diplomat representing Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte, reportedly repeated an argument that Duterte himself has made in the past: the Philippine military does not have the power to confront China, but its treaty-bound ally, the United States, does. Locsin urged politicians to have the "courage" to invoke the treaty in light of a fleet of hundreds of Chinese ships spotted illegally occupying Julian Felipe Reef, a Philippine territory, this week.
"We do have a Mutual Defense Treaty which says very clearly, and has been explained by (former State) Secretary (Mike) Pompeo and (current) Secretary of State (Anthony) Blinken after him, that any attack on a Philippine vessel — however small, as long as it is a government vessel like a Coast Guard — is an attack on the United States and triggers the Mutual Defense Treaty," Locsin said on Wednesday, according to Philippine outlet One News.
"And believe me, that response is — shall I say — global. And that lies within our power," he continued. "We must have the courage to go where probably we will not be able to go back from. Because if we don’t send that message to the other side, then they will just keep trenching and trenching and trenching in our territory, and then our sense of nationhood dies."
Locsin made the comments during a Senate hearing, according to GMA News.
The Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) denounced China for invading Julian Felipe Reef in remarks on Monday, revealing that Manila had counted 220 Chinese ships illegally present there. Philippine officials claimed the ships were part of a "maritime militia" intended to intimidate the Philippines into ceding the territory.

I thought the Philippines gave America the finger and were going to ally with China.
Fuck them. So fucking sick of worthless "allies" that can't contribute to their own defense and yet expect us to pour out our blood and treasure on their behalf.
new claims [for unemployment] totaled 684,000 for the week ended March 20, the first time the number has been below 700,000 during the Covid-19 era. The level was a substantial decline from the 781,000 from a week earlier and was the lowest since March 14, 2020, just as the pandemic had begun....
In addition to the drop in weekly claims, continuing claims, which run a week behind, declined to 3.87 million, a slide of 264,000...
back in the pre Covid era new claims were at about 100k and continuing claims were at about 1M so we have a long, long way to go to reach the economic recovery levels in the Trump era

Oh and don't forget from the Obama era, people who've been out of work for so many months are simply dropped off the calculations.

In btwn mounting 'honey do' projects, Ima reading Walter Isaacson's 'The Code Breaker' right now. Some fascinating (and some alarming) new discoveries and research going on out there right now.
[IsraelTimes] Israel has expressed its willingness to provide hospitals in Leb ...an Iranian colony situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozeen flavors of Christians. It is the home of Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers... with ventilators to treat Coronavirus patients, according to German News Agency on Thursday.
According to Israeli media, the offer came from the Director-general of the Israeli Health Ministry Hezi Levi "due to the severe shortage of such devices in Lebanon," he said.
Levi said that after the Beirut port explosion, Israel offered to provide the Lebanese government with humanitarian help, but Lebanon refused to receive this aid.
Israel had offered to provide humanitarian aid to Lebanon after the earth-shattering kaboom, through foreign channels, as the two countries have no diplomatic relations.
On Wednesday, the Syrian government offered 75 tons of oxygen to Lebanon during a visit by its caretaker health minister in response to a request for Covid-19 assistance.
On Wednesday, Lebanon recorded 3,856 new cases of coronavirus (aka COVID19 or Chinese Plague) ...the twenty first century equivalent of bubonic plague, only instead of killing off a third of the population of Europe it kills 3.4 percent of those who notice they have it. It seems to be fond of the elderly, especially Iranian politicians and holy men... and 53 deaths, which raised the total to 448,721 and 5,903 deaths.
