Flotsam and Jetsam - Hunter Prosecution Rests, Hamas Democrats Attack White House

Steve Richards at JTN reports on the Hunter trial, Prosecution rests in Hunter Biden gun trial as defense calls for an acquittal, pro forma. Also, Hunter Biden’s seemingly paradoxical legal defense strategy. "The fourth day of Hunter Biden’s Delaware gun trial wrapped on Thursday following testimony from his ex-girlfriend and sister-in-law Hallie Biden. The defense seems to be saying he was an addict, then not when he bought the handgun, then was an addict again." The true strategy is jury nullification. At Hat Hair, Jazz Shaw has doubts, that  Joe Biden has Ruled Out a Pardon For Hunter. Really? Well, first we need a conviction, which, given the jury pool I doubt, and then for Biden to lose the election, which looks more likely. Matt Margolis at PJM, Hunter Biden’s Daughter's Testimony Epically Backfires on Defense. Caught lying Bidening for dear old dad. I'm pretty sure she won't get charged with perjury. Fox has 5 takes on the Hunter Biden laptop that have aged poorly "The FBI confirmed the laptop's legitimacy as part of Hunter’s federal gun crime trial." At RedState, Nick Arama thinks Jill Biden's Flights Back and Forth to France to Attend Hunter's Trial Raise a Lot of Questions. Where she got the bread to go, ain't nobody knows. At Da Wire, Hunter Biden Has Never Met 5-Year-Old Daughter He Fathered With Stripper; Joe And Jill Have Never Reached Out, Mother Says.

During the clash with police, mace was also used by the officers to quell the mob, according to reporter Jordan Fischer."

"The only reason Biden is taking action on the border is because it's an election year. If it weren't an election year he'd still be doing nothing. And along with that, let's also stipulate that if Joe Biden weren't taking this action, Nicholas Kristof would not be saying it's a good idea to control the border."

Sarah Arnold at TownHall reports the Trans Nashville Shooter's Disturbing Manifesto Revealed. Stacy McCain examines her ‘Underlying Psychological Co-Morbidities’. 

At the time she perpetrated the Covenant School massacre, Hale was under treatment by both a psychiatrist and a therapist. The distinction is important — a psychiatrist is an M.D., who can write prescriptions, whereas a therapist is basically a counselor, someone with a degree in psychology, to whom the patient talks about their problems. So medication and conversation are, in such a case, handled by two separate “mental health professionals” who, we suppose, consult with each other.

The fact that Audrey/“Aiden” Hale was not healed by this treatment — to the contrary, she became a worst-case scenario of therapeutic effectiveness — is not unusual. Most people who are subjected to treatment by “mental health professionals” never really become healthy. With the assistance of anti-depressants or other medications, they may be able to get through life OK, but how can you say turning someone into a drug addict is “success”? Excuse me for speaking so bluntly, but if the goal is “mental health” and you require Prozac (Zoloft, Paxil, etc.) just to make it through the day? No, you haven’t achieved “mental health.”
