More Biden crime family news, Toast Tab burns diners, and a judge blocks the Biden regime censorship. It’s the Friday LinkSwarm!
Dr. Gal Luft, the “missing witness” from the Biden corruption investigation, told the NY Post last week that he was arrested in Cyprus to stop him from testifying in front of the House Oversight Committee that the Biden family received payments from individuals linked to Chinese military intelligence, and that they had an FBI mole who shared classified information with the Biden benefactors from the China-controlled energy company CEFC.
“I told the DOJ that Hunter was associated with a very senior retired FBI official who had a distinct physical characteristic—he had one eye,” Luft said.
That FBI official is widely believed to be former FBI Director Louis Freeh, who gave $100,000 to a trust for two of then-Vice President Joe Biden’s grandchildren in 2016 shortly before telling Hunter, “I would be delighted to do future work with you.”
Now, Biden’s DOJ has charged Luft with failing to register under the Foreign Agents Act (FARA), as well as Iranian sanctions violations. He’s alleged to have conspired with others to act in China’s interest, including recruiting and paying a former high ranking U.S. government official to support policies beneficial to China.
Democrats are turning the federal justice apparatus into banana republic keystone cops to hide their own crimes.
“When I decided to stand up on behalf of disadvantaged children in support of school choice, my Democrat colleagues didn’t stand by me,” [Georgia State House Rep. Mesha] Mainor explained of her decision in a statement to Fox News Digital. “They crucified me. When I decided to stand up in support of safe communities and refused to support efforts to defund the police, they didn’t back me. They abandoned me.”
“For far too long, the Democrat Party has gotten away with using and abusing the black community,” she added. “For decades, the Democrat Party has received the support of more than 90% of the black community. And what do we have to show for it? I represent a solidly blue district in the city of Atlanta. This isn’t a political decision for me. It’s a moral one.”

Hunter Biden and the One-Eyed Mole
Sounds like the title of a Harry Potter ripoff. Hmm … what could we name a magic spell referring to cocaine?

The Butthole Surfers story was behind the American-Statesman’s paywall but I found the listing. It’s less that 10 miles from where I live!
Listing says it’s in need of some TLC–which is quite the understatement. But it is a nice location.
re: Bastille etc – Burke’s “Reflections on the Revolution” is unreadably verbose; the man just cannot get to a goddamned point. “TLDR” has at least forced the internet generation to figure out how to say things concisely.
The Federalist Papers are fascinating reading. I was always taught that judicial review was invented out of thin air by John Marshall in Marbury vs. Madison. Judicial review – and specifically, the authority of the Supreme Court to override and negate Congressional laws – is explicitly described in the Federalist Papers as being an expected and intended feature of the government being proposed.
I’ve also seen a lot of people (usually in the Southern nostalgia / rural white / Republican matrix) arguing very seriously that the states having the authority to choose to join the Union, they necessarily had the authority to leave it, that it was not at all clear or understood or expected at the time the Constitution was adopted that this option was being permanently renounced, and so on and so forth – which all makes sense when you take it at face value. Also other people arguing the contrary, that so-and-so’s understanding at the time was such-and-such. However, the Federalist Papers are dispositive: it is clearly stated, in multiple places, that the whole POINT of the government being proposed is that once joined, the states CANNOT leave it, must not be permitted to leave it, that if they were permitted to do so that would negate the entire thing – and this was published in 1787-88. It’s not like it was a last-minute change. The logic behind the argument is explained, clearly and simply and with a fair number of supporting examples from history. Mostly along the lines of “if we have multiple competing sovereignties here, overseas powers will play them off against each other and this continent will become a snakepit of miserable backstabbing and warfare”. As it happens, this is EXACTLY the reasoning William T. Sherman gave for why he chose to support the Union.
This was never, ever taught to us in school. It should have been.
Nothing so elevated to contribute, but I enjoyed the Thriller dog.
