Did U.S Attorney for the District of Delaware, David Weiss pause the Hunter Biden investigation to protect Joe Biden's presidential campaign?
US Attorney David Weiss, appointed by former President Donald Trump, decided not to seek search warrants or issue grand jury subpoenas so as not to "alert the public to the existence of the case in the middle of a presidential election," Politico reports.
The prosecutor's office reportedly was torn over whether to continue its probe or pause it due to the election, and Weiss, who remains in his job leading the case, sided with those who wanted to wait.
Comment: There can be no other explanation for the 'pause' in pursuing such a slam-dunk case as presented by Hunter's laptop, and the total media blackout for reporting on it, other than shielding Joe's presidential campaign. This was borne out by polls indicating nearly 17% of Democrat voters would not have cast their ballot for Biden, if they had known about his and his son's corruption.
From November 2020:
The study, conducted by The Polling Company on behalf of the Media Research Center, polled 1,750 Biden voters in seven swing states, Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin), six of which (all but North Carolina) were called for Biden.Tucker Carlson weighs in:
"One of every six Biden voters we surveyed (17%) said they would have abandoned the Democratic candidate had they known the facts about one or more of these news stories. A shift of this magnitude would have changed the outcome in all six of the swing states won by Joe Biden, and Donald Trump would have comfortably won a second term as president," MRC reports.
The survey found that more than one-third of Biden voters (35.4%) were unaware of the serious allegations brought against the Democratic nominee by Tara Reade, a former staffer who said Biden sexually assaulted her in the 1990s. They found that 8.9% of his voters would not have voted for him had they known about the allegations.
"If they had known about Tara Reade's sexual assault allegations, 8.9% told us they would have changed their vote — either switching to Trump or a 3rd party candidate, not voting for any presidential candidate, or not voting at all. By itself, this would have flipped all six of the swing states won by Biden (Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin), giving the President a win with 311 electoral college votes," MRC reports.
Additionally, 45.1 percent said that they were not aware of the scandals surrounding Hunter Biden. "According to our poll, full awareness of the Hunter Biden scandal would have led 9.4% of Biden voters to abandon the Democratic candidate, flipping all six of the swing states he won to Trump, giving the President 311 electoral votes."

U.S. House of Representatives Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (L) and businessman Paul Pelosi
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) is the sixth-richest member of Congress, according to the most recent financial disclosure statements filed in 2019. As the California Democrat has risen through party ranks and obtained more and more political power, her personal wealth has risen right along with it. Pelosi "has seen her wealth increase to nearly $115 million from $41 million in 2004," reports the transparency non-profit group Open Secrets. Even by the standards of wealth that define that legislative body — "more than half of those in Congress are millionaires" — the wealth and lifestyle of the long-time liberal politician and most powerful lawmaker in Washington are lavish.
And ever since ascending to the top spot in the House, Pelosi and her husband, Paul, keep getting richer and richer. Much of their added wealth is due to extremely lucrative and "lucky" decisions about when to buy and sell stocks and options in the very industries and companies over which Pelosi, as House Speaker, exercises enormous and direct influence.

Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin shake hands during a joint press conference after their summit on July 16, 2018 in Helsinki, Finland.
From 2016 to 2020, a single story with two elements dominated the American headlines: Russiagate. The first part of the narrative was the claim that the Russian government had used a range of tools, including disinformation, to ensure Trump clinched his country's highest office. The second was that Trump had knowingly colluded with Moscow to achieve this goal.
After endless repetition, these claims became something close to sacred 'truths' for some people. And yet, as we now know, the whole thing began with a falsehood, or more accurately a single document containing a whole series of falsehoods.
This was the infamous 'Steele dossier', assembled by former British intelligence office Christopher Steele, as part of a strategy by the Democratic Party to dig up dirt to blacken Trump's reputation.

Biden was asked by reporters at the White House on Friday afternoon what his message is to social media platforms on coronavirus misinformation.
"They're killing people. The only pandemic we have is among the unvaccinated. And they're killing people," Biden said.
Comment:
More from RT:
Along with Biden's accusation that social media platforms like Facebook are "killing people," White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki has found herself in hot water with critics after defending officials "flagging problematic posts" related to Covid-19 and vaccines.
In a testy Friday press conference, she again defended the controversial strategy and claimed people are dying from "misinformation" being spread on social media. She even called for the banning of those spreading "misinformation," not just from one platform but all, an opinion that was blasted by numerous activists and journalists.
Facebook has been cracking down on Covid-19 information that does not align with the World Health Organization and local governments' official viewpoints since the beginning of the pandemic. In March, CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced that the platform was working with health officials to enable vaccination appointments via Facebook-owned WhatsApp. In a bid to push its users to get vaccinated, Facebook said it would also show vaccination venues nearby and add pop-up labels on posts about Covid-19 jabs, ostensibly to persuade those hesitant that they are safe and effective.

The condemnation of the European Union's activity comes after the Commission launched legal action against Hungary, claiming that a newly introduced law prohibiting the promotion of homosexuality discriminates against LGBT individuals.
Orban blasted the European Commission's stance as "shameful," declaring that the infringement action being taken against his government is "legalized hooliganism." Defending his administration's actions, the Hungarian leader reaffirmed that LGBT activists would be banned from being allowed to "march up and down" or to promote sexual propaganda in schools.
Writing on the 20th anniversary of the signing of the Sino-Russian Treaty of Friendship, Sergey Lavrov explained that the two nations were successfully cooperating military in a manner that is "only defensive in nature."
The treaty, signed on July 16, 2001, by Presidents Jiang Zemin of China and Vladimir Putin of Russia, serves as a basis for peaceful relations between the two nations and provides for cooperation in the fields of trade, energy, and transport, among others.

Excerpts from an upcoming book by Washington Post reporters Carol Leonnig and Philip Rucker describe how, in the aftermath of the 2020 election, as Trump disputed Joe Biden's victory, Milley, the nation's highest military officer, summoned the rest of the Pentagon's top brass to discuss the possibility of Trump attempting to use them in a "coup" attempt to stay in power.
Milley, according to the excerpts seen by CNN, drew on numerous World War II cliches, comparing Trump's rhetoric of a 'rigged' election to "the gospel of the Fuhrer," his supporters to the Nazi "brownshirts," and Trump himself as "the classic authoritarian leader with nothing to lose."
As Milley and his deputies discussed the possibility of Trump's supporters directly attacking Washington DC, he flexed his military muscles. "They may try, but they're not going to f**king succeed," he reportedly said. "You can't do this without the military. You can't do this without the CIA and the FBI. We're the guys with the guns."
Comment: Trump is America's greatest unappreciated comedian:

Abu Dhabi's Crown Prince Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed al-Nahyan (R)
Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (L)
Unbeknownst to most in the West, the United Arab Emirates has been expanding its network of power throughout the Middle East and even beyond, to the point where its Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Zayed seriously contests the power of Saudi Arabia's Mohammed Bin Salman.
In the past weeks a dispute between Saudi Arabia and the UAE began when an OPEC (Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries) plan set out a new 2022 schedule during which there would be a prolonged reduction in oil output. The UAE quickly lashed out, publicly calling the plan "unfair" and sparking retaliatory rhetoric from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). Under an OPEC+ (OPEC plus ten other oil-producing states) proposal, still in dispute, Saudi Arabia would have to cut its oil production by 5% and the UAE by 18%. The UAE fired back, declaring that the market is in need of higher oil production, due to a decline in prices, which comes as a result of the reduction in energy usage and international travel.
This spat between Persian Gulf powers may seem relatively inconsequential to the average western onlooker, but the implications have already been significant, with a six-year high in oil prices coming as a result. Although they seem to be moving towards an agreement, it is likely that the two allies will soon again be at loggerheads, as their proxy forces in Yemen wage war upon each other.
