Hunter Biden on Wednesday filed a federal lawsuit against former Trump aide Garrett Ziegler for accessing his ‘laptop from hell.’ The lawsuit was filed in the Central District of California just one day after Speaker McCarthy announced an impeachment inquiry of Joe Biden. The lawsuit accuses Ziegler of violating California and federal computer privacy laws after he posted content from Hunter Biden’s abandoned laptop to the website of his nonprofit, Marco Polo. Hunter Biden claimed in his lawsuit that the “data appears to have been manipulated both before and after Ziegler obtained it,” according to Politico.

Comments:

Doesn’t the burden of proof still apply to the plaintiff?

I thought that Hunter was broke. How can he afford to sue?

We have too many lawyers. Everybody is getting sued. We have too many FBI agents. There is nothing that at least 4 FBI agents are investigating.

Read the case. Not a single allegation "accessing, tampering with, manipulating, altering, copying and damaging computer data that they do not own" by defendants was unlawful. Interesting that Hunter admits the laptop was his in this suit, but denies in his defense of criminal charges. Go Hunter go! (The further the better)

Several copies of the laptop hard drive exist, one that Giuliani had, one the FBI had, the original copy by the store owner, and other copies as well. Matching these with the copy Garrett Ziegler had should prove if there was any manipulation.

Hunter never admitted the laptop from hell was even his laptop. He must be suing for an unknown friend.

He can sue but it will go nowhere because the policy statement he signed at the repair shop stated that after 30 days if you didn't pick up your device it was no longer yours. Don't know the exact time frame but the owner said he even tried to contact Hunter Biden but never got a response. Hunter Biden was so drugged out he never thought of how much information was on that laptop. Total loser.

Democrats know that the best defense is a good offense, which is what we are seeing here. It also gives them the opportunity to put out doubt about the facts presented on the laptop, something their medial allies will run with. A shame the Republicans haven't learned this.

Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) isn’t high on Kamala Harris as vice president, and her recent remarks might have revealed how most Democrats feel about the other half of the 2024 ticket. The California liberal and former House Speaker even went so far as to insinuate that her true feelings wouldn’t matter, as the office of the VP doesn’t do much. Technically, that is true, as most times, we don’t have to worry about the VP since the president usually can do the job. Biden cannot—and it’s a bit alarming thinking about Harris in charge and control of the nuclear arsenal (via Fox News):

Burning Man, the so-called music festival, ended in a deserved "climate change crisis" disaster on Labor Day. The holiday that honors hardworking individuals and signals the unofficial end of summer, has come and gone, so now students, ranging from kindergarten to college, are back in school. And in another few weeks, most of those post-college students who took out massive loans to ostensibly complete their education will have to resume payments on said loans plus interest, which had been temporarily suspended because of the COVID crisis, as a majority of mean congresspeople, defying that nice befuddled president, Joe Biden (D), so decreed.

Once upon a time, it was so much fun being a sanctuary city. It made you popular with immigration activists and the self-declared "enlightened" class. Suddenly, sanctuary cities are about dealing with migrants who accepted your invitation. As someone said on the TV, it's like inviting a bunch of people for dinner and then realizing that you can't pay the bill. The problem is really serious in the so-called "blue cities" as Naomi Lin recently wrote: New York City's struggle to care for about 110,000 immigrants who have arrived in the city since last year is having political repercussions

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer on Tuesday lashed out at Speaker McCarthy and accused him of spearheading a “witch hunt” for announcing an impeachment inquiry against Joe Biden. Speaker McCarthy on Tuesday announced he is directing House committees to open an impeachment inquiry against Joe Biden. McCarthy scrambled to make a bold move as Congressman Matt Gaetz threatened to remove him as House Speaker. “I am directing our House committees to open a formal impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden. Over the past several months, House Republicans have uncovered serious and credible allegations into President Biden’s conduct—a culture of corruption,” McCarthy said.

I'm reading Just Mercy: A Story of Justice and Redemption by Black attorney Bryan Stevenson. It was lent to us by a very liberal friend, and I can see why. The book tells us that the old South of racists and Confederates and a justice system that is flat-out unjust to Blacks is still alive and well here in post civil-rights America. Small towns in the South are still far too quick to frame up an innocent Black for the murder of a White girl. That's not all: teenaged kids get a gun handed to them by the local gang and end up on death row when someone gets killed.

On Saturday, the New York Times surprised many people, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. among them, with a lengthy article questioning the “single bullet theory” in the November 1963 assassination of President John F. Kennedy. The man who got the Times’ attention is Paul Landis, a long-retired Secret Service agent who stood on the running board of Kennedy’s car that fateful day. What is odd about that attention is how little new information Landis adds to the conversation. As Landis claims in the forthcoming book, The Final Witness, he originally misremembered where he first saw the pristine “magic bullet,”

The 2024 national and state elections will be won or lost not with consultants, ads, yard signs or harvesting ballots at evangelical churches, but with the aggressive application of advanced technology. We live in a tech-driven age. Unfortunately, this past week, the Fractal team learned the RNC wasted tens of millions of dollars investing in obsolete, 1980s technology. If left to the RNC data team, GOP candidates will lose every close election in 2024. The appalling, 50% wrong canvassing lists RNC provided in 2020 and 2022, its inability to deliver real-time voter roll analysis in Arizona, its total blindness to armies of phantom voters in every state – is the prelude

Stephen King just published his most recent horror novel, Holly. Disappointing does not begin to describe it. Do not purchase Stephen King’s Holly if your goal is to be entertained. This book is a poisonous political diatribe from beginning to end. King, America’s premier storyteller of the past 50 years, has never hidden his left-wing political bias. But before the mess that is Holly, King kept himself in check, never making politics central to his story nor demonizing those who do not share his ideology by using fact patterns unmoored from any sort of reality. With Holly, King has jumped the shark.

What a great question going into the 2024 presidential election! It was asked over 40 years ago and led to one of the biggest landslide elections in U.S. history. As the Harvard Kennedy School summarized: In the final week of the 1980 presidential campaign between Democratic President Jimmy Carter and Republican nominee Ronald Reagan, the two candidates held their only debate. Going into the Oct. 28 event, Carter had managed to turn a dismal summer into a close race for a second term. And then, during the debate, Reagan posed what has become one of the most important campaign questions of all time:

Hunter Biden is feeling 'dark, gloomy and defeated' in the wake of his gun indictment - and in 'despair' over his soaring legal fees, a source close to him has claimed. The first son faces up to 25 years in prison after being indicted on three felony charges for lying about his crack cocaine addiction when buying a gun. CNN's Paula Reid spoke about how deflated those closest to Hunter were at the announcement. 'I got the sense that it's just pretty dark and gloomy over there, they feel defeated,' Reid said.

WASHINGTON — Former President Donald Trump will give his first broadcast network interview since leaving office, sitting down this week with Kristen Welker as she debuts as host of NBC’s “Meet the Press” Sunday. The network said in a release that the interview will be pre-taped at Trump’s Bedminster, New Jersey, golf club Thursday and that the same invitation had been extended to President Joe Biden. Trump last appeared on the show in 2019. The former president has largely steered clear of mainstream media interviews during his third campaign for the White House.

Atlanta, GA—Georgia Governor Brian Kemp officially declared a state of emergency today due to high inflation and poor economic conditions in the state stemming from bad economic policies coming out of Washington, D.C. In his declaration, Kemp said he is temporarily suspending the state’s excise tax on motor and locomotive fuel. The suspension of the tax took effect at midnight this morning and will go through October 12th, 2023. This move will save everyone buying gas in Georgia approximately 29 cents per gallon. Kemp has suspended the state's gas tax before, and that suspension lasted for 10 months when it was in effect from March to December of 2022.

Climate change isn’t just creating havoc for the living. It’s coming for our dead. Great deluges of rain submerge graves and markers. Swift floods set vaults afloat.

Phillip pointed out to the Chicago Teachers Union (CTU) leader that she has compared private schools to the “segregation academies” of the civil rights-era south. She then asked Davis Gates why she would send her own son to a private school if she holds such a negative opinion of them. “I didn’t speak out against private schools. I spoke out against school choice. School choice and private schools are two different entities,” Davis Gates said.
