Flotsam and Jetsam - Email Cites Joe as Suspect, The Great DeSantis/Newsome Debate, Covid Coverup Uncorked

Evita Duffy-Alfonso at Da Fed reports Oversight Committee Releases Email From Bank Investigator Who Flagged Chinese Money Laundered Into Joe Biden’s Pocket. Jazz Shaw at Hat Hair says Imagine That: 'Unusual' Chinese Payment to Biden Flagged

The talking heads at the alphabet networks now have yet another inconvenient bit of data to either ignore or try to explain away as “not a smoking gun” in the ongoing saga of Biden Inc. I previously wrote about a shady $40,000 check that the President received from his brother Jim and his wife for our VIP subscribers and nothing about that transaction looked remotely normal. It turns out that I wasn’t the only one who had questions. A money-laundering investigator who worked for one of the banks handling the series of massive cash transfers leading to that “loan repayment” to The Big Guy quickly sent an email to his colleagues raising concerns over the strange series of transfers totaling at least five million dollars to various entities created by Hunter Biden and his business partners. He described them as “unusual” and “erratic” payments. But the investigation was apparently dropped later for some reason. (National Review)

Ace wakes up to discover Bank Investigator Blew Whistle on Chinese Payment to Hunter Biden Which Eventually Turned Into $40,000 Check for Joe Biden, Citing It As "Unusual" and a Possible Case of Influence Peddling, "10% for the Big Guy, aka A Father's Vig." At Twitchy, Catherine Herridge Drops DAMNING Email That Could Well and Truly END the Biden Crime Family (Pic)Catherine Herridge@CBS_Herridge, "Bank record from @GOPoversight probe of Hunter Biden, Biden family foreign business deals. Described as email from money laundering investigator,“payments appear erratic,” “does not appear to have any services rendered,” “no current business purpose,’ + “China target[s] children of politicians..” Hat Hair's Dave Strom is blown away that Rep. Dan Goldman insists Hunter Biden Laptop Is Not Genuine

In this particular case, what is at stake for Goldman is not any consequences for Biden–either Joe or Hunter–but the fate of the censorship complex itself. Censorship and misinformation have become a cornerstone of the Left’s strategy, which explains their obsession with Elon Musk and Twitter/X. One of the most notorious examples of how censorship was used to manipulate the political process is the censorship of the New York Post’s story on the laptop, which was predicated on the idea that it was Russian disinformation. 

It wasn’t, of course, and it is important to maintain the plausibility of the claim that it was. If a consensus develops that Twitter, Facebook, and the MSM shut down the dissemination of that information just before the 2020 election, it becomes indisputable that the election was rigged not just by social media companies but by intelligence officials, government-funded NGOs, and other media outlets who spread lies to muddy the waters.

So Goldman maintains the fiction that the laptop was faked. Everybody in the room knows he is lying, just as everybody knows because it is documented that social media companies agreed to government demands to censor other true but inconvenient information. The entire COVID communication strategy was predicated on spreading falsehoods (see my earlier column today for just one example).

Duane Patterson at Hat Hair thinks Joe Biden and the Democrats are Learning the Hard Way the Two-State Solution Won't Work. Benjamin Weingarten wants you to Meet the Israel-haters at the top of Biden’s pro-Iran government and the Babylon Bee quips Biden Airdrops Humanitarian Resupply Of Hostages Into Gaza. Capt.

From the Wombat's In the Mailbox: 11.29.23 Don Surber, Democrats are splitting up "Bad policies on inflation, immigration and Israel catch up with the party."

So there was a debate last night between Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and California El Jefe Gavin Newsom. I caught some of it at the end, against my usual policy. It seemed to me DeSantis was arguing facts and figures, while Newsome mainly had emotional arguments, along with a fair number of bare-faced lies. At the Free Bacon, How Newsom Is Using the DeSantis Debate To Gear Up for 2028, "California governor fundraising off debate to pad national campaign coffers." Paula Bolyard at PJM thinks DeSantis DOMINATES in Red State-Blue State Debate With Newsom. RedState's 'Bonchie; wants you to WATCH The Shocking Moment Ron DeSantis Ended Gavin Newsom Ron DeSantis@RonDeSantis "I was talking to a fella who had made the move from California to Florida. He was telling me that Florida’s much better governed, safer, better budget, lower taxes. Then he paused and said ‘by the way, I’m Gavin Newsom’s father-in-law.’" But Twitchy was more impressed when  Newsom Comes in at Number Two After DeSantis Dumps Poop Map. Seriously though, I'm sure both sides will come out claiming to be the winner.

At Da Wire, Federal Air Marshals Diverted From Sensitive Flights To Follow January 6 Suspects, Officials Say. Not even suspects, just random people who flew into DC prior to Jan. 6:

They said that in one case, because the wife of an air marshal was in D.C. on January 6 — but never went to the Capitol — FAMS began following her on flights. Since she was usually traveling with her husband, that meant one air marshal was assigned to fly on a plane to monitor another air marshal. “You can imagine the scene” when the husband had to introduce himself to the air marshal who was following him to explain, as required, that he was carrying his weapon onboard, the letter said.

In one such flight, the assigned air marshal told the husband that he was “originally scheduled for a high-risk international mission,” but that mission went uncovered because he was monitoring the wife of a colleague, the letter said.

The husband was able to see in TSA’s computer system that his wife was classified as a “Domestic Terrorist,” and she remained so two years later, even though she has never been arrested or even questioned about the Capitol protest, which she did not participate in, the letter said.

The wife “is not alone. We have been hearing many similar stories from our FAM membership about being assigned to surveil people that TSA/FAMS labeled domestic terrorists, specifically due to being in D.C. on or about January 6th,” it continued.

Leslie Eastman at LI, Top White House Health Official Regrets Working with Fauci to Downplay COVID-19 Lab-Leak Theory "In a Sky Net Australia exclusive, Dr. Robert Kadlec says: ““I wake up at usually about 2 or 3am and think about it honestly, because it’s something that we all played a role in.”" Dave Strom thinks the Lab Leak Coverup is Unraveling. It's pretty much unraveled, but the media and Democrats will never admit it. Ace, Whistleblower: CIA Analysts Determined that Covid-19 Was Manufactured In the Wuhan Lab -- But Were Then Bribed to Change Their Position "A top UK minister reveals, very belatedly, that there is "significant" evidence that covid was built by Anthony Fauci's business partners in the lab in Wuhan, China."

At Public, Michael Shellenberger dishes on The Censorship-Industrial Complex, Part 2 "My testimony to the House Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government" But the abuses of power my colleagues and I have documented go well beyond censorship. They also include what appears to be an effort by government officials and contractors, including the FBI, to frame certain individuals as posing a threat of domestic terrorism for their political beliefs. All of this is profoundly unAmerica. One’s commitment to free speech means nothing if it does not extend to your political enemies."
