Hunter convicted, Joe freezes and Europe finally turns against mass migration.
A guilty plea would have materially improved the chances that Hunter could get probation and avoid jail. Instead, Hunter went forward with a nullification strategy and, in so doing, it may have nullified his best chance to reduce the risk of jail time....Jonathan Turley.


The first Hunter Biden trial is now in the books. It was a case that need not have gone to trial. Hunter could have pleaded guilty and worked out a deal. However, Hunter's attorney Abbe Lowell took a big gamble and lost. Lowell was counting on local jurors in Delaware, where the Bidens are almost regarded as royalty, to nullify the charges. That didn't happen. In the meantime, Joe Biden vowed never to pardon his son, which is very likely to change if Hunter were to get jail time or Joe were to lose the election. The leftwing media is now hailing the conviction as "proof" that there is no double standard. The obvious truth is that the Hunter Biden case was an open & shut case while the Trump case was a novel use/misuse of the law to serve up a conviction which is almost certain to be overturned.


Monday evening showcased another sad senile moment for Joe Biden. A concert was being held at the White House to commemorate the day that few Americans had ever heard about until a few years ago. It is called "Juneteenth" believe it or not and it celebrates the day when a Union general arrived to inform a group of enslaved African Americans in Galveston, Texas, of their freedom under the Emancipation Proclamation. Right now, it seems to be far more important to white progressives. The always pandering Biden signed a law in 2021 that made June 19, or if you insist: Juneteenth , a federal holiday. The main takeaway from the evening was Joe Biden freezing for quite a while as gospel singer Kirk Franklin performed his song Love Theory. Onlookers must have wondered if it was Joe or a statue of Joe. Luckily there were no pro-Palestinian protestors on hand or Joe might have had "kill the Jews" spraypainted on his face.

Finally, there is the big election story out of Europe. The predominant winners across Europe were political parties that promised to reduce the flow of migration. Mass migration has never risen so quickly across these European nations as they have since they have allowed themselves to be guided by a bureaucracy in Brussels. The consequences have been devastating. More labor competition has hurt the workers who already live in these countries. Governments have strained to provide social services to the migrants. And the rise in immigration has been so rapid that many citizens feel uncomfortable with the conflict in cultures. The surprisingly successful Brexit campaign in 2016 was all about mass migration and the lack of sovereign authority.

In the elections for the European Parliament this past week, the National Rally , Marine Le Pen’s right leaning party, won more votes than any other in France. In Germany, the AfD, a nationalist party, finished second, ahead of the radical leftist party that governs the country. In Italy, the Conservative party that already runs the country finished first.


In other news:

Biden, after opening up the border early in his presidency and watching migration soar is pretending to reverse course. Obviously his campaign wants to take the border crisis off the table.

A federal jury convicted Hunter Biden on three felony counts for lying about his drug use when he applied to buy a handgun in 2018. Hunter Biden is set to stand trial in September in a separate tax case.

Sam Brown, a Trump-endorsed former Army captain whom party leaders consider a strong candidate, won Nevada's state Republican primary.

A federal judge struck down parts of the state of Florida's ban on gender transition care for minors, as well as its restrictions on adults seeking such care.

A U.N. commission accused both Israel and Palestinian groups of war crimes. Its report was the U.N.’s first detailed examination of Oct. 7 and the war in Gaza.

An Israeli strike killed a leading Hezbollah Commander in southern Lebanon.

Hamas militants blew up a building in Rafah, Gaza, killing four Israeli soldiers.

Biden approved sending a second Patriot Missile system to Ukraine.

The U.S. banned imports from three Chinese companies, citing their links to forced labor.

“…before sentencing?”

And at sentencing, is it not incumbent upon the defendant to make apologies before the court for the actions that found him guilty? 

That moment will be interesting to say the least, for he has demonstrated no intention to ever accept accountability.

This weakness of character may land him in a place he would never have imagined, and has avoided to date, but may be ultimately self-imposed.

'Democrats spent 20 years calling elections stolen and trying to overturn them before the former 'president''

Of course you have proof for that lie?

Don't you understand.

I understand completely that you ignore election history in this country.

It is going to happen to democrats too.

It has happened to Democrats in the past and it will probably happen again.

The difference is in how the candidates handled it.

By 1876 – 11 years after the end of the Civil War – all the Confederate states had been readmitted to the Union, and Reconstruction was in full swing. The Republicans were strongest in the pro-Union areas of the North and African-American regions of the South, while Democratic support coalesced around southern whites and northern areas that had been less supportive of the Civil War. That year, Republicans nominated Ohio Governor Rutherford B. Hayes, and Democrats chose New York Governor Samuel Tilden.

But on Election Day, there was   widespread voter intimidation   against African-American Republican voters throughout the South. Three of those Southern states – Florida, Louisiana and South Carolina – had Republican-dominated election boards. In those three states, some initial results seemed to indicate Tilden victories. But due to widespread allegations of intimidation and fraud, the election boards   invalidated   enough votes to give the states – and their electoral votes – to Hayes. With the electoral votes from all three states, Hayes would win a 185-184 majority in the Electoral College.

Competing sets of election returns and electoral votes were sent to Congress to be counted in January 1877, so Congress voted to create a   bipartisan commission   of 15 members of Congress and Supreme Court justices to determine how to allocate the electors from the three disputed states. Seven commissioners were to be Republican, seven were to be Democrats, and there would be one independent, Justice David Davis of Illinois.

But in a  political scheme that backfired , Davis was chosen by Democrats in the Illinois state legislature to serve in the U.S. Senate (senators weren’t chosen by voters until 1913). They’d hoped to win his support on the electoral commission. Instead, Davis resigned from the commission and was replaced by Republican Justice Joseph Bradley, who proceeded to join an 8-7 Republican majority that awarded all the disputed electoral votes to Hayes.

Democrats decided not to argue with that final result due to the “ Compromise of 1877 ,” in which Republicans, in return for getting Hayes in the White House, agreed to an end to Reconstruction and military occupation of the South.

1888

In 1888, Democratic President Grover Cleveland of New York ran for reelection against former Indiana U.S. Senator Benjamin Harrison.

Back then, election ballots in most states were printed, distributed by political parties and cast publicly. Certain voters, known as “ floaters ,” were known to sell their votes to willing buyers.

Harrison had appointed an Indiana lawyer, William Wade Dudley, as treasurer of the Republican National Committee. Shortly before the election, Dudley sent a letter to Republican local leaders in Indiana with promised funds and instructions for how to divide receptive voters into “ blocks of five ” to receive bribes in exchange for voting the Republican ticket. The instructions outlined how each Republican activist would be responsible for five of these “floaters.”

Democrats got a copy of the letter and publicized it widely in the days leading up to the election. Harrison ended up winning Indiana by only about 2,000 votes but still would have won in the Electoral College without the state.

Cleveland actually won the  national popular vote  by almost 100,000 votes. But he lost his home state, New York, by about 1 percent of the vote, putting Harrison over the top in the Electoral College. Cleveland’s loss in New York may have also been related to  vote-buying schemes .

Cleveland did not contest the  Electoral College outcome  and won a rematch against Harrison four years later, becoming the only president to serve nonconsecutive terms of office. Meanwhile, the blocks-of-five scandal led to the nationwide adoption of secret ballots for voting.

1960

The  1960 election  pitted Republican Vice President Richard Nixon against Democratic U.S. Senator John F. Kennedy.

The popular vote was the closest of the 20th century, with Kennedy defeating Nixon  by only about 100,000 votes  – a less than 0.2 percent difference.

Because of that national spread – and because Kennedy officially defeated Nixon by less than 1 percent in five states (Hawaii, Illinois, Missouri, New Jersey, New Mexico) and less than 2 percent in Texas – many Republicans cried foul . They fixated on two places in particular – southern Texas and Chicago, where a political machine led by Mayor Richard Daley allegedly churned out just enough votes to give Kennedy the state of Illinois. If Nixon had won Texas and Illinois, he would have had an Electoral College majority.

While Republican-leaning newspapers proceeded to investigate and conclude that voter fraud had occurred in both states,  Nixon did not contest the results . Following the example of Cleveland in 1892, Nixon ran for president again in 1968 and won.

2000

In 2000, many states were still using the punch card ballot, a voting system created in the 1960s. Even though these ballots had a  long history  of machine malfunctions and missed votes, no one seemed to know or care – until all Americans suddenly realized that the outdated technology had created a problem in Florida.

Then, on Election Day, the national media discovered that a “ butterfly ballot ,” a punch card ballot with a design that violated Florida state law, had confused thousands of voters in Palm Beach County.

Many who had thought they were voting for Gore unknowingly voted for another candidate or voted for two candidates. (For example, Reform Party candidate Pat Buchanan  received about 3,000 votes  from voters who had probably intended to vote for Gore.) Gore ended up losing the state to Bush by  537 votes  – and, in losing Florida, lost the election.

Over 60,000 ballots   in Florida, most of them on punch cards, had registered no vote for president on the punch card readers. But on many of the punch cards, the little pieces of paper that get punched out when someone votes – known as chads – were still hanging by one, two or three corners and had gone uncounted. Gore went to court to have those ballots counted by hand to try to determine voter intent, as allowed by state law. Bush fought Gore’s request in court. While Gore won in the Florida State Supreme Court, the U.S. Supreme Court   ruled   at 10 p.m. on Dec. 12 that Congress had set a deadline of that date for states to choose electors, so there was no more time to count votes.

Gore  conceded  the next day.

MILWAUKEE — Wisconsin Democrats overwhelmingly passed a pro-Palestinian resolution at their state party convention the same weekend four Israeli hostages  were rescued in a daring Gaza raid.

And the resolution didn’t even mention the Israelis killed or taken hostage in Hamas’ Oct. 7 terror attack.

The Sunday vote revealed a dark underbelly of a party that hosted a “Unity Fair” all weekend long.

Convention delegates approved by 136-91 a resolution demanding a cease-fire in Gaza and calling the Jewish state’s response to the massacre “genocide” and “an egregious violation of humanitarian law.”

There were enough Scots in the mix to build just about everything ... I recommend 'How the Scots Invented the Modern World: The True Story of How Western Europe's Poorest Nation Created Our World & Everything in It' by Arthur Herman.

And then there is Montreal's Bowser and Blue comedy duo:

Twas the Scots Who Built This Country!
It was the Scots that built this country.
It should never be forgot
In each Canadian family,
Somewhere, there's a Scot.

When Sir John A. MacDonald looked out across this land,
What he saw before him, a Scot would understand.
Those first few encounters with the savages were hot.
It's First Nations, not 'savages.'
- I was referring to the Scots.

St Andrew's ball is lavish each year in Montreal.
All around the world the Scots are famous for their balls.
Wherever Scotsmen travelled,
There were two things that they brought.
Whiskey, and containers.
- The containers were the Scots.

'Twas the Scots that built this country.
By the Scots this land was built.
Not by pea soup or Yorkshire pudding
But by porridge, pipe and kilt

While politicians argue what is right and what is not.
They do it in the comfort of buildings made by Scots.
In every corporation, they've always saved a spot
For a portrait of their founder:
A penny-pinching, glowering, red-faced.
Whiskey-drinking, Presbyterian anhedonic,
Bagpipe-squeezing, caber-tossing, apoplectic.
Haggis-eating Scot!

'Twas the Scots that built this country.
With great big hairy knees.
We owe a debt of gratitude.
Two more whiskeys, please!
