Russian General Admits Ukraine Just a 'Stepping Stone' to Invade Europe
One of the advantages of being 50, 80 and 100 years away from previous wars is we get to see the unclassified documents that reveal how much lying went on to goad the various parties to take up arms. Thanks, but I'll wait until the guy's alleged claim is vetted through a lot more filters. So far, Putin has done nothing more than he said he would. (Other than the stupid push toward Kiev, counting on Zelensky to cr@p his pants and flee to one of his mansions abroad. He did judge that one wrong, but I don't think he ever planned to stay in Kiev.)

Hard-line House Republicans itching for shutdown, impeachment fights
Just couldn't resist making it personal, huh? So you're admitting that they were commingling funds? Which makes Joe a willing beneficiary of what Hunter was doing? A few grand for upkeep hardly comports with the claim of "half". Maybe it's nothing. But it's certainly piqued my curiosity. How did they 'splain away the other known shell companies and the funds sent to the grandkids? Bottom line, if there's nothing to hide, why is the Biden team so intent on hiding it? Enquiring minds want to know. Lefties, probably not so much.

Biden saved from embarrassment, well, more if continued
Cringy Pierre must have had a cow when he started talking about the 3rd world... No telling what was coming out next. RT may be owned and operated by Russia, but they bring the receipts. Pay no attention to their commentary, if it bothers you. But look at the data points.

Bad Biden polls stoke third-party angst for Democrats
But what pushed them off the left? I think Bill Maher (no fan of Trump) nailed the Trump phenomena: They see him as the one thing that stands between them and something even crazier. And there is a lot of crazy on the left.

Foreigners running workshops/seminars in Koh Phangan - do they need work permit?
I think the guy was a serial boat builder, and he wasn't building his first one. But I never heard what happened to him. It wouldn't surprise me if you technically need a WP to write a book to be sold. It would gobsmack me if anyone actually got caught and punished for writing a book without a WP. But I've seen weirder.

I have no insight into the "context" You don't either, except what the MSM is spoon feeding you. Those are facts that should be investigated. The "dots" if you will. Hence, the need for an impeachment inquiry. To either connect those dots (and they are many), or to clear Biden's name.

You can reasonably say the evidence on the laptop is unconvincing, or that it's not conclusive. But to claim that there is none is patently false. Just one example: Hunter's e-mail to his sister complaining about having to give half his earnings to Pop. If Hunter was getting dirty money by selling access to Pop, that incriminates Pop. It may not be convincing. May not even be true. But it is evidence, nonetheless. The pictures of nekkid hookers, crack smoking and other Hunter foibles don't interest me at all. But they may have interested millions of voters in 2020.

PFIZER - Covid-Vax contract with South-Africa released by court-order
You may recall that the EUA (and procurement contracts) gave Pfizer immunity from lawsuits. When the vaccine was fully approved, Pfizer kept selling it under the EUA instead of selling it as Comirnaty, which would have had a normal drug's liability exposure. So though it's the same stuff, there was a huge legal difference. I followed it for awhile, but don't have current info regarding what's being marketed. Lost interest after I was vaccine injured by my 2nd Pfizer jab. They'd have to hold a gun to my head to get me to take a booster..

Trump trial in Fulton County will be televised, judge says
You probably shouldn't unless you double up on your blood pressure meds. I, OTOH, follow Fox, CNN, Daily Caller, Politico, Western Journal, USA Today, Al Jazeera, RT and a few others. Because none of them are fair and balanced. But I look for the data, not the analysis. I still can't stomach MSNBC, and I only go to CNN if a link sends me there... Edit: BTW, "Laptop is Russian disinformation" should disqualify most of your sources as liars if you were being fair.

Trump trial in Fulton County will be televised, judge says
Once again, you can question and absolutely disagree with their analysis. But they're not going to get the chronology wrong. It's too easy to fact check. And the chronology stinks.

Trump trial in Fulton County will be televised, judge says
Based on the speed with which you replied, there's no way you could have watched the link. So you have absolutely no useful input. But don't let that stop you. Trump haters never do. Edit: Here's how I will respond, though. You can question and absolutely disagree with their analysis. But they're not going to get the chronology wrong. It's too easy to fact check. And the chronology stinks.

Trump trial in Fulton County will be televised, judge says
Interesting update now that the entire Grand Jury report is available. Takeaway is that the results of the Grand Jury were accidentally posted before they even finished. The 19 defendants were mentioned the morning of, before the proceeding was completed that evening. Now, the rest of the report says the Grand Jury recommended indicting 39 people. How, exactly, did they know which of the 39 were actually going to be indicted that morning if the fix wasn't in? Trump may be guilty as sin, and that will come out in the trial. But something stinks about the process. Even if you completely disagree with these guys' analysis of the facts, the facts they lay out are disturbing. https://www.foxnews.com/video/6336940745112

Bad Biden polls stoke third-party angst for Democrats
Not according to left wing commentator Ana Kasparian (The Young Turks): “California is *without question* a **** show under Newsom. But I guess propping up proven failures is what the Democratic party excels at these days,” Kasparian tweeted Friday. If they even lose Ana, from TYT, they've lost the plot. I've always enjoyed listening to her, though I've often vehemently disagreed. This one, she got right. My forecast, in order of likelihood: Michelle, Kamala, Newsom, Biden, the rest of the fricking world, AOC, JFK Jr.

If you're asking whether the FBI withheld evidence during the Trump administration, that's a documented fact. They had the laptop for a looong time. Knew it was authentic, for a loooong time. Yes, that's indicative of suppressing the evidence. They suppressed for so long, in fact, that the statute of limitations has run out on several charges. It wasn't until after the Repubs won the house that the dominoes started falling.

I was referring to the first part of your post that said there is none, so nothing to release. That is provably false. I don't even understand your reference to Trump and Barr in this topic of a Biden impeachment fight.

McCarthy has asked for very specific documents, e-mails and bank records. Biden's attorneys are declining to provide them. “If you look at all the information we have been able to gather so far, it is a natural step forward that you would have to go to an impeachment inquiry,” McCarthy told Fox News Channel’s “Sunday Morning Futures.”....An impeachment inquiry, he said, “provides Congress the apex of legal power to get all the information they need.” The "information we have been able to gather so" far includes over 100 bank suspicious activities reports, 1023 forms, testimony from IRS and FBI whistleblowers, e-mails from the laptop, and a myriad of others. You can reasonably claim the evidence isn't conclusive. (That's why they want subpoena power). But to claim that there is none, is patently false. But that's the narrative being put out by the Dems and the MSM. With the exception of the usual suspects, that I refer to as the right wing coconut telegraph. Oops.

Foreigners make a ‘cremazing’ splash with Gene Kelly-inspired dance in Thai temple rain
Can't say I blame them. A couple of years ago, I saw a group picnicking and playing Frisbee in the WW2 Cemetery in Kanchanburi. The Thai caretaker was having none of it... Kudos to him. I suspect they feel the same way about temple crematoriums. BTW, the Frisbee players in the K-Buri Cemetery were Asian, but I was too far away to tell what nationality. I was on my way closer when the Thai caretaker ran them off.

If your kid came home and said "Dad, I'm not doing dope, but don't look in my top left drawer" would you have evidence before you looked in the top left drawer? The Repubs want to look in the top left drawer... Biden's team of dozens of lawyers, aren't letting them.

Nancy Pelosi: Democrat and ex-Speaker, 83, to seek re-election
He may be a troll, but he's our troll. I don't subscribe to the conclusions or analysis of either of these links. But that's where you need to go to see RFK Jr's claims. The MSM is silent on the issue... https://www.foxnews.com/politics/rfk-jr-campaign-accuses-dnc-being-undemocratic-demands-assurances-every-dems-vote-counts https://www.naturalnews.com/2023-09-08-rfkjr-democrats-rigged-nomination-biden-excluding-everyone.html The gist: "Two of the things today is they've moved the Iowa primary, they've made rules that if anybody campaigns in Iowa or sets foot, any candidate sets foot in the state of Iowa or steps foot in the state of New Hampshire, then none of the votes that are cast for that candidate will be tallied," RFK Jr. said. "In other words, any delegate that I win in Iowa or New Hampshire would go instead to the president. And now they're trying to change it that if I campaign in New Hampshire that none of the votes cast for me in Georgia will count, and that's significant because it's hard to win the nomination without Georgia."
