Following its publication of bombshell revelations concerning Hunter Biden and his alleged influence peddling, which led him to take a stake in a Chinese investment vehicle created in partnership with politically-connected individuals, the New York Post was immediately censored by Twitter and the other social media giants, as they alleged the emails, texts and other information shared by the NYPost had either been “hacked”, or were completely fraudulent.
Fast forward five months, and Hunter Biden admitted in an interview with CBS’s “Sunday Morning” program that the “laptop from hell” might indeed be his. Asked a point-blank yes-or-no question about the water-damaged laptop (which was eventually seized by the FBI’s top child porn investigator) Hunter replied that the laptop “absolutely” belonged to him, but that it could have been “hacked”, “stolen” or – who knows? He insisted that he didn’t drop it off at the laptop repair shop, contradicting the shop owner’s claims that he believed Hunter was the one who dropped them off.
Elisa Parrett, a newly tenured 38-year-old professor of English at Lake Washington Institute of Technology, the only public technical institute in Washington state, realized last June that she had some qualms about the approach her university—which is located in suburban Seattle and has about 6,000 students—had taken to diversity and inclusion.
What does it mean for the markets that the government now spends the proceeds from debt sales last spring that the Fed had monetized back then?
Two days ago, in its infinite wisdom, the government of Chile announced that they were once again closing the national borders and putting the country back into lockdown.
As a geographical location, the US, not necessarily under that name, can exist for a long time. But as a nation the US no longer exists. A nation requires a homogeneous population, which the US does not have, and far more unity than exists today in the US. Once past the colonial era when the immigration gates were opened, the English population was diluted with Irish, Italians, Poles, Jews, and a variety of other European peoples. With sensible immigration policies and requirements, the US was able to assimilate diverse European ethnicities into an English rule of law, English civil liberties, and the English language. These successful efforts of assimilation were abandoned decades ago and supplanted by “multiculturalism” and “diversity.” Today the US is a Tower of Babel.
If you were to stroll through any typical upper-middle-income American neighborhood in 2021, the odds are very high that you’d observe at least one yard sign exuberantly proclaiming something like this: “In this house, we believe that science is real, love is love, no human is illegal … ” and other banal tautologies. There are usually six or seven examples in this litany, but really, one of the main goals of the yard sign—aside from signaling virtue—can be accomplished with just this: the curtsy to Science.
The IRS wants Circle, a Boston-based financial technology company enabling trade in various types of cryptocurrencies, to produce account-registration information, account activity records and other materials for customers who had at least $20,000 in transactions any year from 2016 to 2020.

Even as the coronavirus pandemic wanes and vaccines become readily available, school districts across the country continue to refuse to commit to fully reopening in the fall.
Hunter Biden said he does not believe that the Secret Service got involved in a search for his handgun after his sister-in-law and then-girlfriend threw it in a trash can in October 2018.
Rachel Levine, assistant secretary of the Biden Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), criticized efforts in some states to ban minors from obtaining transgender drugs and surgeries, saying such bans constitute a “health equity issue.”
I think it’s safe to say that the United States is finally ending its experiment with the lockdown policies that have not only greatly failed but managed to unleash untold collateral damage on society. It doesn’t take a degree in political science to understand that if action is not taken now to prevent future abuses of power, they will happen again with increasing frequency and intensity. In a previous article, I covered how emergency powers are essentially the driving force behind the state’s ability to implement lockdowns. In that, I explained some basic, bipartisan reforms to the use of such powers which are now being debated in state legislatures across the country. In several articles, I have covered some of the legal victories against lockdowns and explored some of the legal theories that are holding ground in court. One common question that always arises is why and how can the courts be so friendly to lockdowns when they seem so unconstitutional. The answer is complicated but there is one important factor that applies to just about everything else in public affairs: public opinion.
Twitter briefly suspended the account of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) on Sunday, citing an “error” and blaming its automated systems.
