WASHINGTON — The art of the suck-up. First son Hunter Biden’s art dealer Georges Berges lavished praise on the novice’s works one day after getting slapped with a sales-record demand from House Republicans alleging influence-peddling involving President Biden. In an effusive Thursday statement to The Post, the Soho gallery owner declined to say if he would hand over documents and sit for questions as requested by House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.), but made sure to celebrate Hunter’s work for reflecting the “unrelenting divinity within each of us.” Berges described Hunter, a 52-year-old recovering crack addict who earned millions

I wonder how many "starving artists" hunter uses to paint his "masterpieces". You don't really think he actually paints this stuff himself do you?

If his art is so special, why isn't he still bringing forth his master pieces?

Seriously, Hunter’s art sales have gotten me to wonder how much of the trash that passes as great modern art represents a clever method of committing monetary crimes using purely subjective criteria to determine the worth of the product exchanged for cash. No piece of canvas with a red dot painted in the middle is worth $250,000 unless it is presented as “art.”

Consequential, yes. As a consequence, China and Ukraine get our classified secrets, he and the Big Guy are rich, the FBI says it spent 13 hours searching the President's home, and, fortunately, the House Government Operations Oversight Committee hopefully finds out who the anonymous buyers are, and why they are shelling out millions for "paintings" blown through a straw.

Protests over the police beating death of Tyre Nichols turned violent in Times Square Friday night as several arrests were made, including of a man who stomped on the windshield of an NYPD police cruiser.  At least three people were handcuffed in the Crossroads of the World after getting into some sort of confrontation with police in the street.  In another chaotic scene, one of the protesters hopped on the hood of a police car and cracked the windshield with his foot. Several police officers quickly moved in to grab the man and then they led him through the crowd into a police precinct, footage shows.

The US is in the midst of a catastrophic fentanyl epidemic that is causing an eye-watering number of deaths and tearing the fabric of American society apart. The ultra-strong opioid being cut with virtually every street drug in the country killed a record 75,000 Americans in 2021, the equivalent of 1,500 lives lost every week.  Fentanyl - which is 100 times more potent than morphine - started off as a cheap and potent alternative to heroin and was used by only the most hardcore drug addicts in the US, who mainly injected it or smoked it through a pipe. But its cheap manufacturing costs and potency have made it the go-to cutting agent

A 63-pound pup who was deemed 'too big' and 'too strong' has finally found his forever home after an 'unlucky streak' of 14 failed adoptions.  Ronald, a playful mixed breed, was transferred to the SPCA of Wake County, a non-profit animal rescue in Raleigh, North Carolina, from a nearby municipal shelter on December 7, 2022, Fox News reported.  Within a month, the one-year-old went home with three different families for trial adoptions and was requested by 11 others, but his boisterous energy and size seemed to be a turnoff for potential owners.  'He is basically your typical puppy. He is playful and clumsy and goofy and still learning his manners,'

The watchdog group Foundation for Accountability and Civic Trust filed a complaint Friday saying that Rep. Adam Schiff should be investigated for using footage of himself delivering a floor speech when announcing his bid for the U.S. Senate. Schiff's two-minute video shows the California Democrat speaking to senators in his role of impeachment manager during former President Donald Trump's first impeachment trial.  House members are prohitibed from using House and Senate floor video for campaign purposes - even if the footage comes from a news outlet.  'This is a clear violation of House Ethics Rules and Federal law.

January 6 Was the Worst Incident of Police
Brutality Since Civil Rights Era

One might be inclined to apply Hanlon’s razor—never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity—to the actions of law enforcement on January 6, 2021. One might even be inclined to replace “stupidity” with “incompetence” to explain why police behaved the way they did that afternoon. But a growing body of evidence suggests neither stupidity nor incompetence can justify what now appears to be the worst incident of police brutality against political protesters since the civil rights era. After two years of watching cherry-picked video clips produced by the Department of Justice and the news media to depict Trump supporters as the violent aggressors on January 6,

The dramatic police bodycam footage showing the violent attack on Paul Pelosi finally provides a glimpse of the incident which triggered a string of conspiracy theories. A court ordered the release of the video despite protests from the San Francisco District Attorney's Office, who said it could be manipulated to spread misinformation. Ironically, the delay in sharing the footage prompted a stream of speculation and some baseless claims about the attack. In the footage, we see the moment police officers Kolby Wilmes and Kyle Cagney approached the grandiose Pelosi residence at around 2:31am on Friday, October 28, after Paul Pelosi dialed 911.

Speaking to reporters at the White House Friday afternoon, Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre refused to rule out tapping the Strategic Petroleum Reserve yet again as gas prices continue to increase. She also failed to explain when the Biden administration plans to refill the reserve. (Tweet/Video) In order to mitigate the political problem of high gas prices ahead of the 2022 midterm elections, President Joe Biden depleted the SPR to historically low and dangerous levels not seen since the 1970s. High prices were self-inflicted through Biden's war on oil and gas in order to satisfy the demands of inefficient, alternative energy activists.

Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) named Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) to the House Foreign Affairs Committee on Friday, despite House Speaker Kevin McCarthy's (R-CA) vow to block her from sitting on the panel over past antisemitic comments. The clash will trigger a floor vote in which McCarthy will need the support of the majority of the House to keep Omar off the committee. He unilaterally blocked two Democrats from sitting on the House Intelligence Committee since it's a select panel and is populated at the speaker's discretion. GOP leadership is expected to bring the vote up next week, though at least two Republicans are expected to vote "no." Republicans can only afford

The Biden administration is always telling us that the best thing we can do is buy an electric vehicle. In fact, various members of the administration treat it almost flippantly — it’s a no-brainer that you should buy an expensive electric car or two. Doing so will rescue the planet from certain environmental collapse and will save you loads of money, even though the average cost of an electric vehicle was $66,000 as of August of last year. Plenty of people are falling for it, and it’s easy to see why. The siren song of the tax credit is hard to ignore, and the idea of not having to contend

Ronna McDaniel won a fourth term to head the Republican National Committee (RNC) during a secret ballot vote by members on Friday, capping off a contentious election spurred by calls within the party for new leadership. McDaniel fended off two challengers — California attorney Harmeet Dhillon and MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell, a staunch denier of the 2020 presidential election results. She received 111 votes, while Dhillon received 51 and Lindell received four. Former Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-N.Y.), who did not ultimately make a run for RNC chair, also received one vote.

As RedState reported, Ronna McDaniel has been re-elected as the chair of the Republican National Committee. That followed a contentious, months-long battle with notable GOP lawyer Harmeet Dhillon, who ultimately ended up well short of the number to overtake McDaniel. (Tweets) McDaniel is now the longest-serving party chair in modern American history. What did she do to deserve that honor? She and her party lost the 2018 election, lost the 2020 election, and severely underperformed in the 2022 election. Apparently, being a consistent loser is all it takes to win the blessing of the GOP’s party elite. Why? Because the Republican Party hates you.
Biden proposes changes in ‘whiteness’

Posted by Imright 1/27/2023 11:23:53 AM Post Reply
The Biden administration is facing some scrutiny over a proposal to change the way it racially/ethnically classifies federal employees. At the moment, anyone of Middle Eastern or North African descent only has the option of identifying/being classified as “white.” Were the administration’s proposal to be approved, these individuals would instead have the option of identifying as Middle Eastern or North African. The proposal would accomplish this by rewriting the Office of Management and Budget 1997 Statistical Policy Directive No. 15: Standards for Maintaining, Collecting, and Presenting Federal Data on Race and Ethnicity (SPD 15).

People around the globe have found themselves paying more for eggs at stores due to over 41 million egg-laying hens dying from the avian flu, but also as rampant inflation under the Biden regime causing prices to erratically jump among suppliers and subsequently among common consumer products.

As more motorists own electric vehicles (EVs) and experience problems operating them, evidence shows that the movement to abandon gas-powered vehicles is ideologically motivated and unsupported by rational economic calculation. In January 2023, four Wyoming state senators and two representatives introduced Senate Joint Resolution No. SJ004 to ban the sale of EVs in Wyoming by 2035. The proposed legislation stressed that “Wyoming’s vast stretches of highway, coupled with a lack of electric vehicle charging infrastructure, make the widespread use of electric vehicles impracticable for the state.”

The action announced by the Department of the Interior (DOI) effectively prohibits mining activity from taking place in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness in Duluth, Minnesota, and surrounding area for the next two decades. The agency said it took the action in an effort to protect the local environment and watershed, which environmentalists worried would be contaminated by mining activity.
