How the government hid the truth behind Hunter Biden's laptop

The more we find out about the collusion that has been going on among the Biden administration, the security agencies and Big Tech, the more alarming it is — and the more unrepentant they are.

The latest bombshell from the Intercept, based on communications unveiled in the federal lawsuit Missouri v. Biden, shows that the Department of Homeland Security has been having monthly meetings with Facebook and Twitter to pressure them to censor social media posts about topics such as the botched withdrawal from Afghanistan, the origins of COVID-19, the efficacy of COVID vaccines, racial justice and US support for the war in Ukraine — in other words, anything that could be detrimental to public support for the Biden administration.


We already know that the FBI was involved in efforts to censor and bury information that might have harmed Joe Biden's candidacy back in 2020, including The Post's exclusive about Hunter Biden's laptop in October 2020. That amounted to election interference, which prevented the American people from doing the necessary due diligence on one of the two candidates for president. So successful was the strategy that the Biden administration appears to have expanded it.

Question

Who is Harley Pasternak, celebrity trainer who allegedly threatened to institutionalize and drug Kanye West "to zombieland" again?

Harley Pasternak
Rapper and entrepreneur Kanye West has become public enemy number one after sharing intimate information on multiple podcasts and social media posts about his institutionalization and perceived mental health struggles. He has been dubbed anti-semitic after he made claims about the Jewish media controlling his words and actions. The latest controversy hinges on a text message screenshot that's allegedly from celebrity trainer Harley Pasternak, who apparently threatened to send Kanye back to the hospital and heavily medicate him.

Kanye West, or Ye, has been making headline news for weeks now. He showed up to a fashion show in Paris wearing a "white lives matter" t-shirt, standing alongside his friend and popular conservative commentator Candace Owens. Shortly after, he was a guest on the popular podcast called Drink Champs, where he pointed to the lethal amount of fentanyl in George Floyd's system and claimed that Derek Chauvin's knee was on Floyd's upper back rather than his neck. Meanwhile, he was posting multiple tweets and Instagram posts that referenced the Jewish media and how they were desperately trying to control what he says and does.

Comment: It almost sounds like this guy was a 'handler' of sorts for Kanye, who's managed to get out from under his thumb. While Kanye is undoubtedly a troubled person, one has to wonder how much of this is him going off-script and how much is a planned public breakdown. Pray for Ye.

Florida bans puberty blockers and transgender surgery for kids

The Florida Board of Medicine and state Board of Osteopathic Medicine voted Friday to ban puberty blockers and sex-reassignment surgery as treatments for transgender minors in the state.

The board of medicine voted 6-3, with five others not present, on Friday to forbid doctors from prescribing puberty blockers and hormones or performing surgeries until a patient is 18. Exceptions will be made for children who are already receiving the treatment.

Comment: Florida is turning out to be a beacon of light in the USA. Governor Ron DeSantis and his administration are making great strides in the fight against transgender ideology and critical race theory. Furthermore, they were some of the first and only politicians to speak out against COVID-19 tyranny and implement counteractive measures to remain free from restrictions.

Attack of the Trans-Borderlines

18 months memoir
I stopped reading Quillette a while ago, but have been too lazy to remove the site from my feed. However, this article caught my attention recently. The subtitle, in particular: "In an extraordinary new book, Shannon Thrace describes her disintegrating marriage to a man consumed by narcissism and gender dysphoria." Narcissism? Yes, please! Gender dysphoria? I thought you'd never ask!

The article is a review of a memoir, 18 Months: A Memoir of a Marriage Lost to Gender Identity. This article is a review of a review of that memoir, because I doubt I'll ever read the book itself. But since the connection between narcissism and gender dysphoria intrigues me, I want to highlight and comment on some of Jonathan Kay's review. Let's dig right in.

As Kay sums up the background to the story, "Shannon" (the author) and "Jamie" (her husband, both pseudonyms), were a typical, loving, progressive liberal couple.

Emily Oster's plea bargain

By now, everybody and his uncle has seen Emily Oster's plea for "pandemic amnesty" in The Atlantic magazine, a house organ of the people in America who know better than you do about... really... everything. Emily's wazoo is so stuffed with gold-plated credentials (BA, PhD, Harvard; economics prof at Brown U) it's a wonder that she could sit down long enough to peck out her lame argument that "we need to forgive one another for what we did and said when we were in the dark about COVID."

Emily wasn't "in the dark." She had access to the same information as the Americans who recognized that everything the public health authorities, the medical establishment, and many elected officials shoveled out about Covid and its putative remedies and preventatives was untrue, with a patina of bad faith and malice — especially when it was used to persecute their political adversaries.

Does Establishment panic about Elon Musk's changes to Twitter means he's doing something right?

The only ones outraged about Twitter's new owner are the ones afraid of free speech getting in the way of their authority

Elon Musk's Twitter takeover has heads rolling. But it is funny how the only people who seem to be upset are those who vehemently do everything in their power to shut down any peon who dares to air wrong-think on the platform.

And that's not to mention the complete meltdown journalists and liberal commentators are having over Musk's idea of paid Twitter verification, which as a fellow Sir Blue Checkmark myself, I find hilarious. The thought of losing their precious blue tick, or, Heaven forbid, sharing it with the common plebeians for a mere $8 per month, has the aristocracy up in arms.

So what else does the Tesla founder have in store for us? How far does your $8 take you?

Comment: The MSM amps the hysteria over Musk's staffing moves:


And fired employees take some petty, temporary revenge


Some are gloating that advertisers are apparently bailing


Others say it's a temporary situation:


And the show goes on . . . . . .

A teenager has claimed he was raped by a man in his 30s at the hotel.

And another alleged sexual assault against a child is said to have taken place at the facility.

Perhaps, unsurprisingly, this is just the latest scandal MP Abbott finds herself in in recent months:

Lawsuit says Arizona Gov candidate Katie Hobbs' child-therapist husband had 10yo trans patient

Arizona gubernatorial candidate Katie Hobbs' husband is a child psychiatrist who was named in an explosive lawsuit brought against the state by the parents of a 10-year-old transgender child in 2020, according to documents reviewed by The Daily Wire.

Patrick Goodman is a psychiatrist on staff at Phoenix Children's Hospital and specializes "in serving youth and families affected by trauma and grief." Goodman is also listed on an undated document as a provider in the hospital's "gender support program" serving "gender diverse" and transgender youth.

The details of Goodman's work at the medical center are unclear. Phoenix Children's Hospital did not respond to multiple requests to make Goodman available for an interview.

Comment: Hobbs is running true to woke-liberal form. As Arizona Secretary of State, she was deeply involved in the 2020 election debacle:

The Democrats' 'election denier' sophistry

Chuck Todd: "Why are you supporting an election denialist [the New Hampshire Republican senate candidate Chris Bolduc] and do you think the inflation issue is enough to [justify supporting an election denier]"?

Chris Sununu: "Let me tell you, you're in a bubble, man."

Todd: "You think [inflation issues] should be prioritized over election denialism?"

Sununu: "Of course! ... [That's] why ... a whole bunch of these Democrats are going to get fired [on Nov. 7, 2022]" — Meet the Press, Oct. 31, 2022
The recent exchange between Chuck Todd, presenter on NBC's Meet the Press, and Chris Sununu, governor of New Hampshire, was illuminating for a number of reasons. Chuck Todd has not been this upset since Texas's Gov. Abbott sent 50 poor Venezuelans to Martha's Vineyard, the Democrats' safe, quaint, quiet, mostly white elitist paradise that "liberals" desperately want to keep rigorously illegal alien-free. Sununu's sin is that he supports his state's Republican candidate for the Senate, Don Bolduc, and this, Todd informs him, is not acceptable to the left, which now believes that it has the right to decide whom Republicans are permitted to support for higher office.

Gov. Sununu responds, correctly, that Todd lives in a (liberal) bubble because the voters are concerned not with alleged "election deniers," but with the economy, crime, children's education, etc. However, there is a more basic problem with Todd's question (and implicit argument that so-called "election deniers" are not acceptable candidates).

They won't be able to deny the cold, hard reality of what is happening to the US economy much longer

American dream is over
They are trying really hard to convince all of us that everything is just fine. But close to one-fifth of the U.S. population is skipping meals because food prices are too high. And nearly 40 percent of our small businesses couldn't pay rent in October. Our leaders are trying to put a positive spin on things, but the truth is that we are witnessing a tremendous amount of economic suffering all over the United States right now. The core consumer price index just surged to "the highest level since 1982", and this is putting an enormous amount of financial stress on American families and businesses.

This week, I was stunned to learn that a survey that was just released found that 37 percent of all small businesses in the United States could not pay rent last month...
The survey of 4,789 randomly selected small business owners saw more than half of respondents say their rent is at least 10 percent higher than six months ago.

If you go back seven months, the majority said their rents had increased by at least 20 percent.

Moreover, the study found that roughly 37 percent of small businesses - almost half of all Americans working in the private sector - were left unable to pay rent in October.
