Remember a while back I mentioned the Democrats were funding third party and Republican second tier candidates to weaken the Republican primary candidates? Sort of like if they would have funded Ross Perot to steal voters from Bush in ’92? Well, it worked…and worked big.<\/p>\n

Banking that\u00a0these far-rightcandidates would\u00a0fail\u00a0to capture the support of moderates and independents<\/a> needed to win\u00a0in November, Democratic political action committees and groups such as\u00a0the Democratic Governors Association bought ads during party primaries earlier this yearthat highlighted Republican candidates’ association with former President Trump.<\/p>\n

And the controversial strategy appears to have paid off for the party as nominees they promoted lost their races to a Democrat last week.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Cost a lot of money but they picked up some crucial wins that way.<\/p>\n

Poland:\u00a0 even the Poles are saying the missile strikes in Poland were – gotta love it – Ukrainian.<\/p>\n

Poland said Wednesday the missile that landed in a village near the Ukrainian border, leaving two people dead, was \u201cvery likely\u201d caused by Kyiv\u2019s air defenses.<\/p>\n

\u201cMost likely, this was an unfortunate accident,\u201d Polish President Andrzej Duda said on Wednesday<\/a>, referring to Ukraine defending itself against the barrage of Russian missiles that targeted the country the day before.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

According to the BBC, both Russia and Ukraine use the S-300 air defense missile.\u00a0\u00a0 “Fog of war”, indeed. I read where Biden called an emergency meeting of concerned nations to discuss – wonder what they will talk about now?<\/p>\n

Things are about to get interesting in Hunter Biden’s world. There is a suit alleging the government worked hand-in-hand with social media companies (Meta, Twitter, etc.) to distort and censor attitudes on topics like Covid and Hunter Biden’s laptop. The list of named defendants is now 62 strong, and includes familiar players like the CDC, Fauci, Psaki, and others.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n
Last month, the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Louisiana granted the two states\u2019 request for depositions from several top-ranking governmental officials, including Dr. Anthony Fauci, former White House press secretary Jen Psaki, director of White House digital strategy Rob Flaherty, surgeon general Vivek Murthy, Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency director Jen Easterly, and FBI supervisory special agent Elvis Chan.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

Lawyers for the Biden administration sought to block several of the depositions, including Chan\u2019s. The lawyers noted that Meta, Facebook\u2019s parent company, has said that Chan, an assistant special agent in charge (ASAC), did not advise the company to censor the Hunter Biden laptop story.<\/p>\n

\u201cBased on this newly received evidence, the Court should amend the Deposition Order, and withdraw its authorization of a deposition of ASAC Chan,\u201d the lawyers argued.<\/p>\n

However, the two attorneys general opposed the motion, arguing they never suggested Chan told Facebook to suppress the story but that the special agent participated in talks that led to the suppression.<\/p>\n

\u201cMoreover, there are additional compelling reasons to depose Chan\u2014including that he is the principal point of contact between social-media platforms and the FBI Section that combats so-called \u2018disinformation\u2019 on social media; that he routinely organizes and participates in oral meetings with social-media platforms about election-related disinformation; and that he has openly boasted about coordinating with social-media platforms to combat misinformation and disinformation,\u201d they said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Yeah, that Biden laptop was all Russian disinformation. Musk already fired the guy in Twitter who helped bury the laptop story – should be interesting to see how all this plays out. Popcorn, anyone?<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
