Details Of Secret US-Russia Talks Revealed As Ukraine Counteroffensive In Bad Shape

Crimea ..

Soviets lost it in WWII .. ( and regained it once Nazi Germany was pushed back )
Ottoman Empire lost it in 1783 ..

Russia regained it in 2014, but looks like there is a high chance to lose it now ..

If Russia does not lose what it started with in this War, there is a significant moral hazard that will be formed.

Numerous times someone has cried "Wolf" and stated if you give Ukraine firearms, Russia will use nuclear weapons, if you do this .. Russia will use nuclear weapons, if you attack Russia proper Russia will use Nuclear Weapons, if you attack Moscov Russia will use Nuclear weapons .. it seems to be a broken record at this point.

I used to think, like most other people, that the biggest crooks, were car salesmen.
After watching the "Hunter Fiasco", I must admit I have been wrong my whole life!

FKN ATTORNEYS! The red in their pens is from the blood of us!

Oh gee, why would they do that? Couldn't be to protect members of their deep state. So it must be something else.

It is comforting to know the same would hold true if Trump were involved.

Potato is on his way out. Hunter will get convicted, and before Potato’s handlers dispose of him they will let him pardon Hunter.
Bidet will resign before the 24 election and will grant a pardon to jr on his way out. There will be no jail time and no impeachment.

Same old shit

If they really wanted to, they could put both of them away for a log time, but they wont.

Biden: Hiding In Plain Sight
Biden: Hiding In Plain Sight | ZeroHedge

According to detailed information, Joe and Jill Biden declared a total of $4,122,376 in pretax income on their federal tax returns for tax years 2001 through 2016 -- this works out to an average of $257,648 annually during the sixteen-year period when he finished his career as senator and, later, became vice president. Leaving aside, for the moment, fair questions concerning how Biden managed to sustain living costs for his large family from his home in Wilmington and also save for retirement, his years with educator Jill Biden do not appear to show proven ability to derive investment income, or garner outsized compensation. Yet, things were to change dramatically and for the better, days following the beginning of the Trump-Pence administration.

Trump and Pence inherited a stumbling economy after the anemic Obama-Biden recovery and the disastrous final years of the Bush-Cheney administration. According to data from the Consumer Expenditure Survey put out by the federal Bureau of Labor Statistics, the top ten percent of households in America saw their pretax incomes decline 8.3 % from $269,644 (on average) in 2016 to $247,174 (on average) in 2017.

In stark contrast, Joe and Jill Biden saw their pretax income climb from $338,464 in 2016 to a whopping
$9,578,639 in 2017 -- an amount that was more than 28 times Biden pretax income for the prior year and more than twice, in just one year, total Biden pretax income for a 16 year period from 2001 through 2016.

What accounted for this enormous Biden family windfall in a single year, when even the top 10% of American households suffered pronounced declines in their pretax incomes? Initial answers found in Biden tax returns warrant further inquiry, including whether the IRS line agents trying to investigate suspicious Hunter Biden activities were restricted in plowing what appears now to be fertile ground in his father’s joint tax filings for 2017. Buried back on page 23 of a 103-page tax filing for 2017, we learn that two subchapter S corporations, each formed in 2017, somehow managed to send more than $10 million dollars together in their first partial years of operation, to the Bidens.

The first entity -- CelticCapri Corp -- generated $9,490,857 for the Bidens in just eleven months of existence during 2017. This total amount is more than $860,000 per month, which represents a heroic if not completely unbelievable result for a start-up. What products or services did CelticCapri provide? Who else was involved operating this business? How were other participants compensated? And, what pre-formation actions were taken before late January 2017, when CelticCapri was formally organized in Delaware? The second entity -- Giacoppa Corp -- made $557,882 for the Bidens in nine and one-half months, or more than $58,000 per month in a start-up year and the same sorts of questions raised about CelticCapri should be answered about Giacoppa. The American people deserve to understand why the IRS, FBI, and Department of Justice rarely target difficult-to-explain wealth-building by dynastic political families such as the Bidens and Clintons, but mount furious assaults against families like Donald Trump’s which built outsized wealth for decades, well before entering politics. Let truly serious investigations begin.

Biden’s Break-The-Glass Option: Pardon Hunter and Withdraw from the 2024 Election
Biden’s Break-The-Glass Option: Pardon Hunter and Withdraw from the 2024 Election

Below is my column in The Messenger on what I called Biden’s “break-the-glass” option after the disaster in Delaware. After the column ran, Fox News asked White House Spokesperson Karine Jean-Pierre about the possibility of a pardon. Jean-Pierre cut him off and responded unequivocally “no.” I hope that proves to be true but it would have been more assuring to come from someone who did not clearly misrepresent the President’s earlier denial just a day earlier and change his long-standing position. The President previously denied a series of facts that have been proven, including the fact that his son did make money in China and President Biden did have knowledge of (and interact with) his son’s business dealings.

The real question is whether the fix in this case will fail and leave the President with the pardon option behind the glass.

I just saw this on my local NWS forecast. "I say probably, because confidence is not very high at the moment because last night`s models couldn`t make a good six-hour forecast. The 12Z"

Now they want us to believe that they can predict global warming, when they cannot predict the next 6 hours accurately. This is just ludicrous.
