Hawaiian

I was not speculating, but referring to John Paul Mac Isaac's comments. If you haven't watched the interview in its entirety then you haven't a clue about what he saw on the hard drive files. It seems you are the one doing the speculating.

There is a difference between a video about a laptop and what was actually found on the laptop described in the video. One doesn't have to be a PI to know the difference.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but even if Biden loses he could still pardon Hunter and have nothing to lose.

Why did the judge allow photos and other evidence of drug use retrieved from Hunter Biden's phone and laptop to be introduced by the prosecution? You seem to think I have no knowledge of what the rules for admissible evidence are. Go preach to someone else.

It is not just a video. It is a 43 minute interview of the man who Hunter Biden took his water damaged laptop to requesting retrieval of what was recorded on the hard drives There were actually 3 laptops brought in, but only one was not damage beyond use. The FBI tried, but was unsuccessful at getting anything out of the other two laptops. I am far from being a sleuth and don't claim to be one. I'll leave that up to the experts such as you.

Short memory? You were the one who brought up trump (sic). In fact, two times in one post. For your information, even Hawaiians misuse the term.

Looks like you have very limited knowledge of what is on the hard drive and the FBI wants to keep it that way. As far as pushing baseless claims go, have you seen the latest release of Nancy Pelosi's conversation of Jan. 6? Personally, I don't trust either political party.

No doubt about it. You are afflicted with TDS and addicted to whataboutism. And by the way, I believe you were trying to address me as Mr. Kanaka. Evidently, you have no idea of my ethnicity and are using the term incorrectly.

With daddy's failing memory he may conveniently "forget" what he said about pardoning his errant son.

Not all voters think like you. Guilt by association comes to mind. Besides some of the laptops content may well implicate Hunter's father. While nobody is above the law, not everyone is treated equally. Remember, money is power and power corrupts.

After watching the video of Mac Isaac's interview, the computer shop owner, I would say there is a lot more damning evidence on the hard drive; evidence more damning than the gun charges.

Saying that it will never happen means that it is not a realistic approach. I think if Israel pulled out of the West Bank, it would eventually become another Gaza. However, Israel needs to remove all of its settlements from the West Bank. What some, including myself, would like to see is Jerusalem become an international city where Muslims, Christians and Jews could safely visit. In another post you mentioned morality. Morality applies to both sides in this conflict. What is so moral about the Hamas constitution calling for the destruction of Israel? Since all of this didn't happen overnight, it is naive for anyone to think the situation will be resolved overnight. The major problem I see is how enforcement will be accomplished for any violation of a cease fire agreement.

You excel at making innuendos, but offer no viable solutions.

Hamas is not just an organization. They are the elected de facto government of Gaza, whether you like it or not. Seems as you do not understand that this is urban warfare where one side has embedded itself within the civilian population. Civilian casualties, which Israel has attempted to minimize, are inevitable in such a situation. Every day that goes by Israel is condemned for these casualties. In eight months Israel has reduced Hamas's military capacity by roughly 85%. Maybe less, maybe more. As for what comes next is anyone's guess. Even if a more militant faction replaces Hamas, do you think that would have the capacity to put up much resistance to the IDF? I may be mistaken, but I think the strategy is to keep the administrative branch of Hamas intact while neutralizing its military.

It's not an obsession. The reality is that Hamas was elected by the people of Gaza and therefore still represents them. Tell me, who else is there to negotiate with? As for your accusations, why is Israel only to blame? Seems as if you are misinformed.

As long as Hamas' constitution mandates that they destroy Israel the ceasefire will not last long. There must be a provision in the agreement for Hamas to amend their constitution otherwise Hamas will be obliged to continue hostilities sooner or later. For those who say this provision can come later, I say stop wasting your breath.

Some breeds are known to be aggressive, but their personality usually predicts their behavior. Yes, animals have personalities. I owned a mixed pit bull and she actually sought out kids to play with. With toddlers she was super gentle making sure not to knock them over or smack them with her long tail. She lived to be over twenty years old. Everyone, including my neighbors, miss her.

Just think, all of this could have been prevented if Hamas had released these hostages. In fact, none of these tragic deaths would be occurring had not Hamas kidnapped them in the first place.

And Hamas' strategy is to boost the casualty rate of Palestinians to make Israel look like the villain hoping world opinion of Israel continues to deteriorate and support for Hamas continues to grow. The casualty rate, with the help of Hamas-sponsored agitators, is fueling the anti-Israel demonstrations in the U.S. and elsewhere.

If you watch the WFAA video, the shop owner speaks about which copies of the hard drive are "clean" and those that are not. He warned several members of Congress that the copies they had were not trustworthy and that they should be destroyed.

I was involved in a Navy fraud investigation and worked with a Naval Intelligence officer who cleared me of any wrongdoing. He was very cordial and never asked me any "trick" questions. At no time did I feel intimidated. Others who dealt with the FBI were named as being unindicted co-conspirators. They told me that they were bullied and felt threatened if they did not cooperate. When the case first broke, the FBI contacted me and I refused to speak with them. Then the Naval investigator called me and politely asked that we meet. I'm glad that I did because nothing ever appeared in my service record and I was allowed to retire without incident when I had enough years on the books. I was not offered any deals and was not asked to rat on anyone. And I didn't.

I don't condemn Israel for death of civilians. This is what happens in urban warfare, especially when one side intentionally hides among the civilian population. This may sound mean and callous, but the old saying of better them than me applies. The U.S. failed in VietNam, Iraq and Afghanistan because ridiculous restrictions. While there are international rules of war what happens when only one side follows them? Stalemate? This exactly the problem Israel faces today and Israel has chosen not to be stuck in a forever war. This means continuing the process of neutralizing Hamas. Yes, war is hell.

I posted a link to an interview of the shop owner where he goes into great detail of what he did and why he did it. He also explains why he went to the FBI and what an unpleasant experience it was. Reading the article and watching the video may give you better insight as what went actually occurred. I encourage you to watch the entire video.
