Remember that guy Hunter Biden referred to as "the f**king spy chief of China" on a recording in 2018? That guy was Dr. Patrick Ho, although it's not clear exactly what his role with China was. According to Ho, CEFC paid Hunter Biden a million dollars to act as his attorney back in 2017. But now according to a new report, Ho just sent a legal letter to Hunter threatening to sue him if he doesn't give the money back, because Ho says he didn't get any legal work for the money.

It’s almost Super Tuesday when voters in 16 states and one territory will cast their ballots in the 2024 presidential primaries.
Here’s why the day matters — and why it looks a little different this year. It’s traditionally the biggest day nationwide for primary elections and caucuses before the actual Election Day in November. Until now, only one or two states have held primaries or caucuses on the same day.
This Tuesday, voters in 16 different states and one territory (Get it? “Super” Tuesday.) will be choosing who they want to run for president. Some states are also choosing who should run for governor or senator for their state,
Highway signs welcome drivers entering North Carolina to “the nation’s most military friendly state,” and veterans here know they’re being courted. But in a state where camouflage-colored appeals have become commonplace, recent efforts by progressive groups to cut into what has long been a reliably red constituency face an early test on Super Tuesday.
Among the 16 states and one territory casting ballots in Tuesday’s 2024 presidential primaries and caucuses are some with the nation’s highest rates of active-duty service members and largest populations of veterans:
Judicial Watch announced today it settled its 2014 Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit, which sought the emails of then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton regarding the Benghazi attack. This suit led directly to the disclosure of Clinton’s use of a nongovernment email server to conduct government business (Judicial Watch v. U.S. Department of State (No. 1:14-cv-01242). The settlement commits the State Department to a payment to Judicial Watch of $97,000.
Ready for la presidenta?

It's almost certain that a woman will be the next president of Mexico, i.e., la presidenta.
She is likely going to be former Mexico City Mayor Claudia Sheinbaum, a candidate closely associated with President Andres Manuel Lopez-Obrador. For some, she is 'LO's puppet. For others, she is a U.S.-educated environmental engineer.
For most Mexicans, it's about violence and doing something about what they call "inseguridad," as we see in this from AP: And that's the challenge no matter who wins the presidency.
Hunter Biden’s Chinese legal ‘client’

threatens to sue unless first son pays
back $1 million 29 replies
Hunter Biden was paid $1 million by Chinese firm CEFC to act as attorney for its employee, Dr. Patrick Ho, but now Ho is threatening to sue the first son within seven days unless he gets the money back — because he claims Hunter did no legal work for him.
Ho sent a legal letter to Hunter last week requesting that their attorney-client agreement be terminated immediately and threatening legal action unless he receives a detailed list of services provided by Hunter and reimbursement for the unused funds, as laid out in the 2017 contract.
The GOP Is Changing, And That’s Good

Do you remember your stupid high school government teacher, that insipid left-leaning strange-o in the bad sport jacket who taught you that conservatives don’t want to change and liberals want change and blah blah blah? Good gosh, there’s nothing worse than the unionized hacks infesting our schools and filling empty skulls with nonsense. But enough about public education. The truth is that today’s conservatives do want change, and change is coming to our party. The new Republican Party is, as that desiccated old pervert masquerading as our president likes to say, not your father’s Republican Party.

up the border in 2021 — don’t believe
his blame game now 15 replies
President Biden was inaugurated Jan. 20, 2021.
Weeks later, Feb. 2, he issued the executive order that began the unraveling at the border in earnest.
The border crisis isn’t something that happened to Biden.
It’s not a product of circumstances or understandable policy mistakes made under duress.
No, he sought it and created it, on principle and as a matter of urgency.
It wasn’t a second-year priority or even a second-quarter-of-the-first-year priority.The new president set out in his initial days and weeks in office to destroy what President Donald Trump had built, most consequentially in the Feb. 2 executive order.
By then, mind you,

New York Opens a Back Door to Communism
10 replies
Our founders saw our various states as places to experiment with governance. Each can test ideas to see what works and what doesn’t. Citizens can provide feedback by migrating to those places where things work the best.
I doubt that our founders expected an experiment to see if a communist state can coexist in a capitalist country. But New York has decided to conduct that experiment, seizing the means of production via lawsuits.
During her campaign, New York attorney general Letitia James made the Lavrentiy Beria pledge to find a crime and “get Donald Trump.” It turns out she’s a woman of her word.

Trump despite internal strife at nominating convention 7 replies
A Michigan GOP convention in Grand Rapids on Saturday will allocate 39 of the state’s 55 GOP presidential delegates, but a significant portion of the party’s grassroots force won’t be attending due to the lingering aftereffects of a months-long dispute over who is leading the party.
Still amid the division, chaos and legal disputes, the party is expected to unite behind one candidate Saturday: former President Donald Trump.
Trump won Michigan’s Feb. 27 Republican primary handily, receiving 68% of the vote compared to rival Nikki Haley’s 27%.

Former President Barack Obama has said he’s “all in” for President Joe Biden’s re-election effort. But a question nagging at many Democrats is what role his popular spouse might play.
Democrats nervously looking ahead to November say they want to see Michelle Obama playing a bigger role in the campaign. Some even whisper about the possibility that she might replace a politically hobbled incumbent on the 2024 ticket this summer — making her a fantasy candidate for members of both parties, albeit for different reasons.
Outdoor outfitter The North Face is offering customers a 20% discount if they complete and pass a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) course.
The company launched the course, titled “Allyship in the Outdoors,” to teach customers about racial disparities in outdoor activities. It is roughly an hour long and is intended for people who work in the outdoor industry. Those who take the course from North America are ineligible for the discount, however.
President Joe Biden on Tuesday will launch a new task force to take on "unfair and illegal" corporate pricing, which Biden sees as a major reason why consumers are not yet feeling the impact of cooling inflation rates and a strong economy.
The task force will be jointly led by the Federal Trade Commission and the Department of Justice, two agencies at the forefront of the Biden administration's aggressive regulatory agenda over the past three years. "We're excited to be co-chairing the president's new Strike Force on Unfair and Illegal Pricing, which builds on the FTC's far-reaching work to promote competition and tackle unlawful business practices that are inflating costs
Appearing alongside Vice President Kamala Harris in Selma, Alabama, on Sunday, Garland called voter ID laws and other voter integrity laws “discriminatory, burdensome, and unnecessary.” The two were speaking at an event commemorating the fifty-ninth anniversary of the Bloody Sunday attacks on civil rights marchers in Selma
Garland recalled the history of voting rights for black Americans since the end of slavery, which he said has “never been steady” into the present day charging that voter ID laws have made it harder “for millions of eligible voters to vote and to elect the representatives of their choice.”
The Supreme Court didn’t dig into the weeds of the entire insurrection debate, but one obvious issue with the various efforts to remove Trump from the ballot in various states was that insurrection had been left entirely to Democrat state officials to define. That kind of nonsense however won’t fly in an actual legislative process.
Now that the Supreme Court blocked state officials from announcing that Trump can’t be on the ballot because he’s an “insurrectionist”, House members are now trying to play the same game.
Congress will have to try and act,” Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.), the ranking member of the House Oversight Committee, told Axios.
What he’s saying: Raskin,
The Department of Veteran Affairs has rescinded a memo banning the iconic J-V Day Times Square kiss photo from its buildings.
VA Secretary Denis McDonough was forced to deny the photo's ban after a leaked memo signed by undersecretary RimaAnn O. Nelson began making the rounds online.
'Let me be clear: This image is not banned from VA facilities - and we will keep it in VA facilities,' McDonough said on Twitter.
When pressed by DailyMail.com, the VA admitted the memo was sent out late last month but had since been rescinded.
The memo instructed employees to 'promptly remove' the image and replace it with one deemed less offensive.
Michelle Obama has ruled herself out as a presidential candidate, putting to bed speculation that she would jump in at the last minute to give Democrats an alternative to aging Joe Biden.
The former first lady maintains a star power within Democratic politics, despite largely removing herself from the political scene in recent years.
'As former First Lady Michelle Obama has expressed several times over the years, she will not be running for president,' said Crystal Carson, director of communications for her office, told NBC News.
Drag queen RuPaul Andre Charles was The View’s special guest on Tuesday’s show to promote his new book and TV show. Amid their conversation, ABC co-host Sara Haines broached the topic of public outrage and backlash to drag shows at libraries and other events for kids. According to her, “Everyone belongs at a drag show.” Charles also proclaimed that everyone, including you dear reader, was wearing drag every day; possibly right now!
“One of the things that appeals about a drag show and often the community, this is a community that took time to find clarity
MSNBC national affairs analyst John Heilemann said on Tuesday’s “Deadline” that he believed former President Donald Trump voters have a “lack of energy.”
Heilemann said, “Doing the first three early state primaries which I love, historically love, have done them all, love doing that, love. love. It was so depressing doing these and for a million reasons not just because Trump was going to win and what it said about the Republican Party or that it was a foregone conclusion, but just the lack of energy out in the world. The kind of flaccid acquiescence of everybody out there. You hear about it on the Democratic side.
President Joe Biden on Tuesday said he was 'stunned' to find out that the Cookie Monster has been a victim of 'shrinkflation' and slammed chip companies for charging the same price for bags when you get 'a helluva lot fewer'.
The 81-year-old president sided with the Sesame Street character in his fury at businesses, especially snack companies, giving Americans less for what they spend.
His remarks were a response to the blue furry muppet posting on his X: 'Me hate shrinkflation! Me cookies are getting smaller'.
Nikki Haley joined FOX and Friends on Super Tuesday morning to discuss her slim chances of picking up a state today on the biggest primary election day of the season.
During her interview Nikki grew increasingly uncomfortable with the questioning from host Ainsley Earhart on her flip-flopping on supporting President Trump if he wins the primary which is almost certain at this point.
Nikki snapped back at Ms. Ainsley.
Ainsley Earhardt: So just set the record straight. Is it no to no labels? Is it yes to support the nominee?
