Flotsam and Jetsam - Hunter Payed Joe a Salary from Chinese Cash

From Da Caller, Hunter Biden Sent Direct Monthly Payments To Joe Biden From Bank Account For Chinese Money, Comer Reveals. Follow the money, they said. Matt Margolis at PJM, House Oversight Committee Followed the Money Right to Joe Biden's Bank Accounts. If it was a "loan repayment", they better have some documentation showing a loan actually occurred. 

Althouse, "Biden was initially ambivalent about the term, then embraced it — but 'Bidenomics' has recently disappeared from his prepared speeches...." Explains Axios, in "House Democrats ditch 'Bidenomics' messaging." At RCP, The Potemkin Presidency of Joe Biden. Harold Hutchinson at Da Caller hears Dem Governors Warn Biden To Avoid Talking About One Key Issue "he needs to avoid talking about former President Donald Trump." Breitbart Reports ‘Nervous’ Democrats Sound Alarm on Biden’s 2024 ‘Lack of Urgency’. Don't worry, they've created "the most extensive and inclusive voter fraud organization" ever. Larry Elder at Front Page explains The Kamala Conundrum, "Why Democrats are stuck with her." Black women voters. 

In an I&I poll Angry Independent Voters Give Trump Edge Over Biden In 2024.  CJ explains Who The  Populist Voters Are. "Supporters of such campaigns around the globe are more diverse than academics and the media acknowledge." Breitbart notes Leftist Outlets Stoke Fear of Second Trump Administration. Dan Oliver at Am Great, George Conway and the Politics of Fright. "Horrors: Trump would hire loyalists and people who believed in his agenda!" Althouse observes Oh! He's getting credit for sophistication now. "Trump is no longer a wild crazy idiot. Pay attention to the reframing. I'm reading "Why a Second Trump Presidency May Be More Radical Than His First/Donald Trump has long exhibited authoritarian impulses, but his policy operation is now more sophisticated, and the buffers to check him are weaker" in The New York Times." Eric Lendrum suggest Dr. Ben Carson for his Veep, Doctor, Secretary…Vice President? "This ticket is as close to perfect as you can get." I could live with that. At Da Fed, the unsinkable Mollie Hemingway says To Win, Republicans Have To Be Smarter And Tougher Than Sen. James Lankford. Not a high bar. Sauron's Unblinking Eye reports Doug Burgum ends 2024 presidential campaign. Who? Well, there's always 2028. 

Shanwn Fleetwood at Da Fed reports an Appeals Court Smacks Down Democrats’ Ludicrous Challenge To Florida’s Congressional Map “The constitution cannot demand that all voters are treated equally without regard to race and at the same time demand that voters are treated differently based on race.” Hat Hair's Capt. Ed comments "I’m not sure that was a ‘ludicrous’ interpretation, although clearly wrong. Federal courts have used that interpretation in the past, although hopefully the recent SCOTUS case on Harvard and UNC’s affirmative action admissions policies might signal a step away at some point. I’d bet this ends up in federal court soon."

At CJ Chris Rufo suspects Will It Be Riot Season Again in 2024? "Conservatives must learn the lessons of 2020—and prepare."

Breitbart cites Marsha Blackburn: Durbin Blocked My Request for Epstein Flight Logs. Hmm, I wonder what he's hiding. At Da Wire, Gold Bars Recovered In Menendez Bribery Case Linked To 2013 Robbery: Report. Reminder to self, melt down gold bars to destroy serial numbers.

Sauron's Unblinking Eye whines Trump seeks "urgent review" of gag order ruling in New York civil fraud case. Am Con calls him The First Amendment’s Unlikely Champion. Jordan Boyd at Da Fed reports  Biden Admin Withholds Election Integrity Documents Key To Jeff Clark’s DC Bar Defense. "The decision to withhold documents also suggests an unwillingness by the federal government to publicize its findings on 2020 election problems."

Clark, who was also named as one of the 19 “co-conspirator” targets in Democrats’ wide-ranging election indictment in Fulton County, Georgia, is scheduled to appear at an evidentiary hearing on Jan. 9, 2024 after the legal licensing association claims he violated their rules by drafting a letter to Peach State officials noting the DOJ “identified significant concerns that may have impacted the outcome of the [2020] election in multiple States, including the State of Georgia.”

Clark chose not to send the letter after his DOJ superiors objected to signing it and then-President Trump opted against having it sent. The D.C. Bar, however, proceeded to charge Clark with “attempted dishonesty” and “attempted serious interference with the administration of justice.” Both of those charges, Clark’s lawyers assert, are “legally and factually ridiculous for a compelling set of reasons.”

Jeff Charles at RedState claims a Former Capitol Police Officer Blows J6 Narrative Wide Open With Release of New Audio.

Dave Strom again, Surprise: People With Gender Dysphoria Are Mentally Ill, and Remain So After Transition. 

One of the slanders aimed at critics of gender ideology is that we are indifferent to the pain of gender-confused children. Nothing could be further from the truth: our argument is actually that the medical transition of these kids compounds the harm that already exists.

The proper treatment for mental illness is not to break out the hormones and scalpels but rather to treat the underlying cause of gender dysphoria, which has its origins in psychiatric dysfunction.

The GD group had received many times more specialist-level psychiatric treatment both before and after contacting specialized GIS than had their matched controls. A marked increase over time in psychiatric needs was observed. Among the GD group, relative risk for psychiatric needs after contacting GIS increased from 3.3 among those with the first appointment in GIS during 1996–2000 to 4.6 when the first appointment in GIS was in 2016–2019. When index period and psychiatric treatment before contacting GIS were accounted for, GR patients who had and who had not proceeded to medical GR had an equal risk compared to controls of needing subsequent psychiatric treatment.

Conclusion: Contacting specialized GIS is on the increase and occurs at ever younger ages and with more psychiatric needs. Manifold psychiatric needs persist regardless of medical GR.

Ace, Prepare for a Shock: People Who Undergo Genital Mutilation Surgery, Voluntarily, Are Mentally Ill "Okay, so that isn't a surprise. Here's the surprise: Slicing and dicing pieces of their body in order to look like bizarre parody of the opposite sex also does nothing to improve their mental illness, despite claims of the Transevangelists that it will fix everything. Okay, so I guess that's not a surprise, either. But what is maybe a surprise is that some doctors are daring to admit it."
