Just because money comes from China doesn't mean that it comes from the Chinese Govt. It is not a crime to receive money from China. American businesses receive money from China every day. Just because money comes from China doesn't mean that it comes from the Chinese Govt.

Actually, there is a major new charge. As some may recall, there's an audio of Trump reading from a document which he tells his listeners was classified. He said explicitly that he could have declassified it while he was President but didn't. Which kind of blew a hole in his claim that he had declassified all the documents in his possession. Then when this audio was cited as evidence against him, Trump claimed that he wasn't reading from a classified document but newspaper clippings and such. Trump's defenders claimed that no such document existed. Jack Smith has just filed a charge against Trump under the Espionage Act for possession of a specific classified document relating to DoD military plans re Iran. This can only mean that the document has been identified. This truly is a bombsell. "He [Trump] has since claimed that there was never any document and that he was just discussing news clippings. Previously, the document had been missing—not recovered in the search of Mar-a-Lago—and Trump’s attorneys had said they couldn’t find it. Well, apparently now Jack Smith has found it. This newly discovered document—reportedly a plan of attack against Iran—will be hung on Trump to show how careless he was with the nation’s top secrets and how he knew that he had no right to show them to anybody." https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2023/07/new-mar-a-lago-charges-against-trump-jack-smith.html

Deflecting much?

What nonsense. He said the research met the Six Sigma standard. That same standard considered stringentenough to confirm the existence of the Higgs boson. The use of "Gold Standard" was just a way of conveying to laymen what it signifies.

Lots of posters here and elsewhere take it for granted that China's rise is unstoppable and that they are going to displace America as the world's leading superpower. It's getting clearer and clearer that this is not going to be the case. At least not as long as China remains on the road to being a totalitarian place state the way it is under Xi and the current CCP. For a society to be dynamic, there needs to be more than one center of power. Xi clearly won't tolerate that.

Evidence for man-made global warming hits 'gold standard': scientists Evidence for man-made global warming has reached a “gold standard” level of certainty, adding pressure for cuts in greenhouse gases to limit rising temperatures, scientists said on Monday... They said confidence that human activities were raising the heat at the Earth’s surface had reached a “five-sigma” level, a statistical gauge meaning there is only a one-in-a-million chance that the signal would appear if there was no warming. Such a “gold standard” was applied in 2012, for instance, to confirm the discovery of the Higgs boson subatomic particle, a basic building block of the universe. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-climatechange-temperatures-idUSKCN1QE1ZU

The vast majority of mortgages in the US last 30 years and are fixed interest.

Don't hold your breath while waiting.

DISASTER HAS STRUCK!!! GDP grew at a 2.4% pace in the second quarter, topping expectations despite recession calls Gross domestic product rose at a 2.4% annualized pace in the second quarter, topping the 2% estimate. Consumer spending powered the solid quarter, aided by increases in nonresidential fixed investment, government spending and inventory growth. A Commerce Department inflation gauge increased 2.6%, down from a 4.1% rise in Q1 and well below the estimate for a gain of 3.2%. https://www.cnbc.com/2023/07/27/gdp-q2-2023-.html

Since when would an investigation be launched to uncover bias. Bias would be a motive for committing a crime - not a crime in itself. Bias may underpin the theory of the case, but it is not a crime. "He [Barr} said Horowitz used a standard that was “deferential” to the FBI when he investigated the claims of bias, and suggested that a final judgment cannot be made until federal prosecutor John Durham has completed his own separate investigation into the origins of the Trump-Russia investigation. “I think our nation was turned on its head for three years based on a completely bogus narrative that was largely fanned and hyped by a completely irresponsible press,” Barr said. “I think that leaves open the possibility that there was bad faith.” https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-trump-russia-barr/u-s-attorney-general-barr-says-fbi-may-have-acted-in-bad-faith-on-russia-probe-idUSKBN1YE2BC

I'm guessing I dictated something into my phone and didn't check it. Or maybe Mr Hyde wrote that one.

You got a link for that photo?

What is it about you denialists of the existence human-caused warming that seems to make you incapable of understanding that the issue isn't change per se, but rather the accelerated rate of change.?

What email texts from or to Joe Biden were incriminating?

No, the point of the Durham investigation was to see if the members of the Justice Dept were prompted by bias against Trump to investigate the Trump campaign's connection to Russia. Durham conceded he found nothing to indicate bias. Nothing. Despite the fact the he and Barr clearly suspected there was bias. No evidence of misdeeds there. Yet you somehow believe that in the case of the Biden investigation when Barr was AG there was bias? Good luck with that.

And we have a quote from an ancient historian, Diodorus Siculous, who, 2000 years ago, asked contemporary Egyptians how it was done. They said a ramp. Given that people in those times had no trouble accepting all kinds mythological explanations for how things were done back then, why would they use a natural explanation if it wasn't so?

Remember the Durham investigation. Where Barr and Durham did their damnedest to find evidence that the Justice Dept was biased in its investigations? How did that turn out?

This graph does not show what you clearly think it does and what the author of that article in Fox News wants you to believe it does. Here's the definition of the Heat Wave Index "The U.S. Annual Heat Wave Index tracks the occurrence of heat wave conditions across the contiguous 48 states from 1895 to 2020. This index defines a heat wave as a period lasting at least four days with an average temperature that would only be expected to occur once every 10 years, based on the historical record" https://www.statista.com/statistics/1293872/us-heat-wave-index/#:~:text=The U.S. Annual Heat Wave Index tracks the,every 10 years%2C based on the historical record. So the heat wave index is not a measure of absolute heat, but rather relative heat. What follows is a graph of average temperature measurements for the continentailUS in the 20th century https://www.climate.gov/news-features/blogs/beyond-data/mapping-us-climate-trends So it takes a lot higher heat to qualify as a heat wave nowadays.

"the money"? What money would that be?

According to the article they shared bank accounts and paid each other's bills. This is your idea of criminal evidence? Should they plead guilty to holding a joint bank account? It is to laugh.

Rules of the forum require that you back up any factual claims to a credible source. I'll be waiting but I won't hold my breath

Well, for one thing there your claim about bank records is there any evidence at all that Joe Biden received a single cent from Hunter Biden's business dealings?

You just repeat the same garbage over and over again without ever acknowledging or responding when you are called on it. You just evaporate.

Do you think Hebrews should have invented data or a theory? This isn't the fiction forum.
