Flotsam and Jetsam - Secret Service Shoots Up Georgetown

Doesn't seem like we're heading towards any big theme so far this week, just a lot of old threads continuing to unravel. An interesting event though, as at least one SS agent fired shots at car thieves attempting to steal the SS limousine outside Naomi Biden's (Hunter's daughter) Georgetown apartment. Interestingly there seems to have been no threat to life here, except from the SS agent, who, by all reports, appears to have missed, and whose bullets flew off elsewhere into Georgetown. The would be car thieves escaped in a red car. From the Wombat's In The Mailbox: 11.13.23, EBL, Secret Service Agent Shoots To Protect Biden’s Granddaughter’s SUV?.

In the Biden Crime Family news, WaEx's Kaelan Deese wonders Will Hunter Biden's fight against federal firearm violations reach the Supreme Court?. Hunter's firearm violations, while egregious, and enough to get  right-wing radical thrown in the hoosegow, interest me a lot less than the influence peddling nonsense with his Dad and uncle (and apparently any one else with the family name). Margot Cleveland at Da Fed is getting fed up with Willfully Blind David Weiss Pinky who Promises Political Favoritism Didn’t Affect Hunter Biden Probe. NewsMax reports Jim Jordan thinks an Impeachment Decision Likely Early Next Year. Michael Goodwin at NYPo thinks the Likely impeachment adds to feeble Joe Biden’s already brutal presidency

From Fox, Biden calls David Axelrod a 'p----' in private as ex-Obama adviser voices election concerns: report "Politico's Jonathan Martin hammered Biden's name-calling strategy and said it wasn't going to help him beat Trump." Was that prick or pussy? Nick Arama at RedState, Biden Shows How Nasty and in Denial He Is With Vicious Crack About David Axelrod.

For the record, AZ-08 is an R+10 district in the Cook index and votes heavily GOP in presidential cycles. Chansley’s bid could split the Republican vote in the next House race, if he gets enough funding to get off the ground, in a way that a normal Libertarian candidate probably couldn’t."  The Right Scoop, Former Qanon Shaman Jacob Chansley wants to run for Congress.

Althouse again with the NYT, "With his own lawyers questioning him, [Donald Trump Jr.'s] testimony adopted a rhapsodic tone that aimed to create a parallel universe..." "Hmm. That smiling.

Ace comes around, Feds Seize NYC Mayor's Phones, Suspect That Adams Fast-Tracked a Turkish Diplomatic Mission In Exchange for Cash "The FBI is Seizing on texts that indicate that Adams did favors for foreign cash. There's less to this story than the headline, to be honest. The texts don't establish much. There's a suspicion that Turks contributed to Eric Adams illegally but we don't know for certain he did favors in exchange for that money."  Hat Hair's Jazz Shaw says There Might Be More to That Eric Adams Corruption Story "This still doesn’t sound like the FBI has uncovered any type of Watergate-level scandal directly involving the Mayor. The consulate is in Admas’ old borough so they asked the borough president to move a minor piece of bureaucratic paperwork through the system for them and he made a call. If the straw donation allegations prove to be true, there will be some people in serious trouble, most likely including Brianna Suggs. It could possibly even impact Adams’ campaign treasurer. But there still doesn’t seem to have been any sort of “arrangement” or understanding between Adams and the Turks. If nothing further is revealed, this could still wind up being a big nothingburger." Influence peddling is illegal? Someone should tell the Bidens.

Flotsam and Jetsam - Whence Came the $40,000 to Biden?

 Matt Margolis at PJM warns Hunter Biden Better Get Ready to Testify Before Congress. Without precedent! Oh wait. Steve Richards and John Solomon at JTN report Top prosecutor undercuts Garland, says Weiss needed DOJ approval to bring Hunter Biden tax charges. "The attorney general testified Weiss had authority to bring charges on his own, but acting tax division chief says his office had to give approval to proceed." Ace wakes up to discover Biden Traded 82,000 Page of Emails Under His Pseudonyms While Vice President, "No doubt all of these emails were discussions of the weather." Just for reference, a ream is 500 pages. At Hat Hair VIP Jazz Shaw thinks We Should Really Talk About The Big Guy's $40,000 Check "On August 8, 2017, Northern International Capital, a Chinese company affiliated with CEFC, sent $5 million to Hudson West III, a joint venture established by Hunter Biden and CEFC associate Gongwen Dong. That same day, Hudson West III sent $400,000 to Owasco, P.C., an entity owned and controlled by Hunter Biden. On August 14, 2017, Hunter Biden wired $150,000 to Lion Hall Group, a company owned by President Biden’s brother James and sister-in-law Sara Biden. On August 28, 2017, Sara Biden withdrew $50,000 in cash from Lion Hall Group. Later the same day, she deposited it into her and James Biden’s personal checking account.

Flotsam and Jetsam - Emmer In Then Out

Well, at least that was quick. From Henry Rogers at Da Caller, Tom Emmer Wins GOP Nomination For Speaker Of The House On Secret Ballot. "House Majority Whip Tom Emmer won the nomination for Speaker of the House on Tuesday after five rounds of votes. Republicans were voting by secret ballot until they were able to get to a candidate who received a simple majority of the conference votes. After each round of votes, the member who received the lowest numbers was eliminated. Candidates running had the option to drop out before each round of votes if they felt that they did not have enough support. 109 votes were needed to win." Ace, Moderate RINO Tom Emmer is Next to be Voted On For Speaker, "Pass." Hat Hair reads Truth Social, Trump Knifes "RINO Tom Emmer". Erik Wasson@elwasson "TRUMP knifes Emmer Truth Social "I have many wonderful friends wanting to be Speaker of the House, and some are truly great Warriors. RINO Tom Emmer, who I do not know well, is not one of them. He never respected the Power of a Trump Endorsement, or the breadth and scope of MAGA.""  Then, after a quick canvas to see if he had the votes to win the whole house, NewsMax reports GOP's Latest Speaker Candidate, Rep. Emmer, Abruptly Bows Out. Sundance at CTH, OK, This Is Funny – Tom Emmer Wins GOP Secret Ballot, Then Promptly Drops Out When President Trump Swings Atomic Truth Hammer then Representative Mike Johnson Wins Tuesday Night Secret Ballot for GOP House Speaker.

USA Today has an  Exclusive poll: Biden and Trump tie at 37% as RFK Jr. costs Trump a narrow lead. "The arithmetic gets complicated and the politics unsettled in a 2020 rematch with at least one significant independent candidate, and perhaps more."

At NYPo, Latest migrant poll should scare the hell out of Democrats. "A new poll says 84% of New Yorkers think the state’s migrant mess is a serious problem. The remaining 16% are zombied-out addicts living in parks and subway tunnels. Ha. Just kidding about the zombie part." At Breitbart, Biden’s 2023 Flood: One Migrant for Every American Newborn. Althouse finds "We New York Jews have always voted for the Democrats.... Why do Jews vote Democratic?..." ""But there is no more cosy mystery in the antisemitism of the Democratic Party; Representatives are affiliated with the Democratic Socialists and pro-Palestinians, calling for the end of the state of Israel — that is, for the death of the Jews. And Democrat Representatives repeat and refuse to retract the libel that Israel bombed a hospital, in spite of absolute proof to the contrary, and will not call out the unutterable atrocities of Hamas. . . .

Not to mention the New York Times! Nevertheless, Ellis made a tearful confession in court this morning. . ." Capt. Ed, comments "John raises some good questions here, but those prompt another: if none of this was a crime, why did an attorney plead guilty to the charge? Ellis had had some success raising money for her defense, after all, and she ended up pleading guilty to a felony rather than misdemeanors, as Powell did. Presumably an attorney would grasp these matters, especially an attorney caught in the middle of the case. But just to emphasize, I think John raises solid points about the overall case here.

Flotsam and Jetsam - Impeachment Inquiry Started

OK, some of this is a little old, since I was otherwise occupied yesterday. It's not as bad as WaPoo, though, which publishes a day late, and delivers the "morning" paper in the afternoon mail.

Spencer Brown at Town Hall, Official Impeachment Inquiry Into President Biden Announced. This enlarges their subpoena powers slightly, and makes a nice threat. Insty, WHOEVER IS RUNNING THE DRUDGE REPORT THESE DAYS JUST HAD AN ANEURYSM "To add to Ben Domenech’s tweet, it’s not like we warned the left repeatedly that they’re not going to enjoy living under the new rules they created." JulioRosas @Julio_Rosas11 "Speaker Kevin McCarthy officially announces an impeachment inquiry into President Biden." Ace, Kevin McCarthy Announces Support for Impeachment Proceedings Against Joseph Robinette Biden, "Criminals are referred to by their full names." Sundance at CTH, Speaker Kevin McCarthy Announces Formal Impeachment Investigation of Biden, Led by James Comer, Jim Jordan and Jason Smith. "I wish I could find something positive and optimistic in this announcement; unfortunately, the posturing moves of the DC machinery never lead to a genuine level of accountability. The UniParty protects its own." From the Right Scoop, Senate Republicans come out AGAINST House impeachment of Joe Biden. And, of course, at ET, House GOP Biden Impeachment Inquiry Denounced by Democrats as 'Absurd'. Athena Thorne at PJM, AYFKM? CNN Breaks Story About Secret White House Media Directive to Bash Impeachment — to Bash Impeachment. Anxious anxiously whines Biden's words from 2020 fuel GOP's impeachment push. Capt. Ed at Hat Hair, comments "Oddly enough, Axios doesn’t use the word “lie” to describe Biden’s claims of total non-involvement in Hunter’s business, although they include the term in two quotes — one of which refers to Trump. Still, this shows the “evidence” that the AP claimed was missing last night, and that’s just one part of the evidence. The SARs, the existence of 20 or more LLCs filtering foreign income from Biden family interests, and most importantly the Bedingfield memo all provide evidence of an influence-peddling organization and corrupt participation by then-VP Biden in it." 

Cutie Pavlich at Town Hall sees There's Been a Narrative Shift on Joe Biden's Business Dealings, "no DIRECT evidence" of Joe's involvement in Hunter's influence peddling scheme.Ace, White House Spokeshenchman Claims That Joe Biden Attended "Business" Meetings With Hunter's Foreign Criminal "Business" Associates Because "He Loves His Son." "A Father's Love -- the Continuing Voyages. Biden's daughter can tell a few tales about A Father's Love, but the media's not interested in that. The marching orders to the media have gone out, and the orders are to claim (as the media already has been claiming) that there is "no evidence" -- zero, nada, nil, nothing, zip -- that Joe Biden had anything at all to do with Hunter's collection of bribes from Russian gangsters, corrupt Ukrainian oligarchs, and Chinese intelligence operatives posing (weakly) as oil men." At WaEx, Ex-FBI agent Timothy Thibault, accused of Hunter Biden political bias, meets with Congress. He was involved in both the Russiagate frame job and covering Hunter's ass. Matt Vespa at Town Hall thinks Another FBI Narrative About the Hunter Biden Case Just Imploded. At this point, you should assume anything put out by the FBI is either a direct lie, or a lie by omission. Politico is weeks late to the party with The IRS whistleblower at the heart of the Hunter Biden probe took notes. We’ve got them. "Gary Shapley’s lawyers say he wrote contemporaneously that the U.S. Attorney investigating the president’s son said he was constrained."

At Red State Nick Arama wants you to WATCH: Reporter Asks John Kirby Best Question Ever About Biden 'Making Stuff Up'. He never did address the question. Also, Biden May Have Plagiarized Ground Zero Remark, as Kirby Spins Mightily to Justify False Claim. Stephen Kruiser at PJM thinks it Sure Would Be Nice If We Had a President Who Was a Patriot. Ace, Despite Nursing Home Joe's Glowing Predictions of Fuffiffthithafffm, Inflation Is About To Get Worse. "Joe Biden promised fuffiffthithafffm. Joe Biden lied."

Hat Hair's KT hears Barbara Lee rips Newsom a new one over his "insulting" plan to replace Senator Feinstein. Never-anybody-but-Trump Sundance thinks Nikki Haley Positioned to Replace Ron DeSantis for second place in the Republican primary race. "Haley is an empty vessel.  She has no true positions of her own and uses the headlines and sentiment of the moment to determine her outlooks.  This is why she previously said she would not run against Donald Trump, and said Bubba Wallace was a victim of horrible NASCAR racism."  Althouse, "I only got married because I was 37 years old … and people would think I was queer if I weren’t married." "Said JFK, according to a woman who worked with him during his Senate years, quoted in the first paragraph of "Tim Scott has a woman problem/Like nagging parents, some Republicans want to know why the presidential candidate has never been married" (Boston Globe)."

[Tim Scott] has never been married. There is no indication that he has plans to get married. And that’s a problem for some Republicans who, like nagging parents, want to know why Scott, 57, is unmarried.That article was published a week ago. I ran across it this morning after doing a search prompted by this headline in today's Washington Post: "Tim Scott’s girlfriend/The unmarried Republican presidential candidate doesn’t like talking about his new relationship very much. But he is talking about it."

Hat Hair cites NBC, It's too late baby, it's too late -- even if you really try to make it “The runway for someone to realistically run for president is basically over,” said Nick Trainer, who served as Delegates and Party Organization director on Trump’s 2020 campaign but is not working for a White House hopeful this cycle. Capt. Ed, says "Brownie points if you get the Carole King reference in the headline. But NBC doesn’t mention that it’s not just too late for *Republicans* in this cycle. The window is also rapidly closing on any rational alternatives to Biden for 2024 through the primary process except for Harris, who’s already on the ticket. At this late stage, no Democrat could get campaigns up and running fast enough to challenge Biden thanks to the same deadlines. That’s a much bigger problem for Democrats; Republicans already have plenty of options."

Susanna Gibson does it "doggy style"

Meanwhile, next door in Virginia, Ace reports a Democrat Candidate for Virginia House of Delegates F*cked on Camera for Money, "Yeah that tracks.

A Democratic candidate running for a seat in Virginia's House of Delegates had sex with her husband in front of a live online audience and solicited "tips" for specific sex acts.

Susanna Gibson, a mother of two children, streamed herself having sex on Chaturbate, a website that streams live sex and free sex chats, according to the Washington Post. More than a dozen videos posted on the site under her username were archived in Sept. 2022, after she announced her candidacy to run in a highly competitive district in the Richmond area.

Gibson can reportedly be seen soliciting "tips" for performing certain acts requested by viewers, according to the Post. In at least two videos, she reportedly told viewers she is "raising money for a good cause."

She also interrupted her sexual acts to type into a bedside computer and speak directly to the viewers to request "tips," which are paid through icons called "tokens," the Post reported. In two videos, she performed specific acts only in a "private room," which costs extra.

Gibson called the exposure of the videos "an illegal invasion of my privacy designed to humiliate me and my family," the Post reported.

Hat Hair's John Sexton,  Slate, Politico: Who cares if a candidate was livestreaming sex for money and Dave Strom, New standard drops...  and Democrat candidate streamed sex for money; it's the Republicans' fault for pouncing. "That is the word from Politico’s chief media writer, Jack Shafer, who admires Susanna Gibson’s “moxie” in standing proud against the Puritans who think that selling sex acts for money online isn’t noteworthy or relevant to whether she is fit for office."

Breitbart, Bill Barr: ‘Of Course’ I Would Testify Against Trump at January 6 Trial. Sundance at CTH, Sunday Talks, Bill Barr Says “Of Course” He Would Testify Against President Trump. Tony Gonzalez at PJM, Pence Says He Would Testify Against Trump in Jan. 6 Trial: 'We'll Obey The Law'. Read more carefully and you'll see neither used the word "against." Both said they'd testify if called, because, of course they would, it's not really optional. If they're not called by the prosecution, it's because their testimony can't be construed to help.

Trump justifies Scott Adams's view: "We can now see all of the machinery of government, from influence peddling to fake news to intel-supported hoaxes to political persecutions.”
