From a slap in the face to groveling

Joe Biden was caught on a hot mic telling a local Florida mayor that "nobody fucks with a Biden." It was all part of his Wednesday visit to Florida to survey the damage caused by Hurricane Ian. Oddly enough, the rest of the world seems to be doing just that. After going to war with American oil & gas producers, Biden went to Saudi Arabia to beg the Saudi's, whom he once called "killers," to increase their oil production. On Wednesday the Saudis did gleefully fuck Biden by announcing that the group that Saudi Arabia is a major part of woud be cutting production by 2 Million barrels a day. That move is expected to cause a spike in U.S. gasoline prices that will last for months. The day before Biden said he wouldn't divert any more oil from the strategic oil supply, which Biden has vigorously tapped into for political reasons. After the Opec + announcement, Biden says he is reconsidering it. Biden is also considering begging the brutal Venezuelan authoritarian regime to allow Chevron to resume its oil operations. In return Biden will wind down sanctions. There is no word yet from the government of Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro.
North Korea is also sticking it to Biden as it launched its sixth ballistic missile in the past two weeks. That followed a highly provocative launch on Tuesday when North Korea fired a ballistic missile without warning over Japan, prompting Tokyo to urge residents to take shelter.

The Week:
A game of Chicken: It has been rumored that Hunter Biden had been offered a plea deal in which he would get no prison time. It is also said that he refused that deal preferring instead some home cooking in Delaware. He's gotten away with so much thanks to his father, why not? Yesterday one of our key contributors posted the Washington Post exclusive that Federal agents investigating Hunter Biden believe they have (for months) had enough evidence to charge him with tax crimes as well as a gun charge. The story got a lot of eyeballs.
Federal agents don't get to make that call. The final decision on whether to bring a case against Hunter Biden will be made by Delaware US Attorney David Weiss and he will have to take it to Biden's AG Merrick Garland. That decision would bring tremendous pressure on Garland, a man who has been a tool for Biden, to be non-patisan. It is an important issue. It is as much about Joe Biden as Hunter Biden and it is about our primary enemy: China. Wouldn't it be ironic if the same leftist media that quashed the Hunter Biden laptop story to help Joe Biden get elected, now released this Hunter Biden story to bury Joe Biden in 2024?
The Biden Marijuana pardon: Joe Biden announced plans to pardon all prior federal convictions of simple possession of marijuana. There are few such people in federal prison and those who are there most likely pled down from more serious charges. Will this encourage young pot heads to vote for democrats in the upcoming midterms? I tend to doubt it.
New York's un-Constitutional gun hits road block: "A federal judge in New York temporarily blocked parts of the state's revised concealed carry gun law on Thursday, finding that it is too strict and should not have barred weapons from being carried in areas such as public playgrounds and health care facilities. In a 53-page ruling, Judge Glenn Suddaby said the law, which went into effect Sept. 1, was more problematic than the earlier version that was struck down by the U.S. Supreme Court earlier this year."

Spanberger vs Pelosi: " Rep. Abigail Spanberger (D-Va.) on Friday called for new House leadership because of Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s handling of legislation that would ban members of Congress from trading stock, issuing a scathing rebuke of Pelosi for putting forth legislation she said was “designed to fail.” “This moment marks a failure of House leadership — and it’s yet another example of why I believe that the Democratic Party needs new leaders in the halls of Capitol Hill, as I have long made known,” Spanberger said in a lengthy statement."

Jan 6th Committee to resume on October 13th: "The House committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol said it would hold its next televised hearing Oct. 13, as it nears an end of its public effort to build its case that former President Donald Trump was at the center of an effort to overturn the 2020 election result. The committee hasn’t said what the hearing’s focus will be, but, according to a person familiar with the committee’s planning, it could include new information from the Secret Service, responsible for the security of Mr. Trump and former Vice President Mike Pence . In July, the Secret Service provided a set of more than 10,000 documents to the committee, but none included previously undisclosed text messages from Jan. 5 or 6, 2021."

Musk may buy Twitter after all: " A judge has halted Twitter's lawsuit against Elon Musk until the end of the month, giving the Tesla CEO more time to close the planned $44 billion acquisition of the company. The judge in Delaware Chancery Court has paused the trial until 5 p.m. October 28. Musk made a renewed offer to take over the company earlier this week , hoping to end a protracted legal dispute that began when Musk tried to back out of the April deal and Twitter sued. Musk's lawyers then claimed that Twitter refused to accept the Tesla billionaire's bid."

Two entities seem concerned about Musk bringing free speech to Twitter: China and the American left.
What Have We Learned?
The voters go to the polls next month and the economy, high gas prices and crime remain the key issues. It appears that nothing is going to change that. The only question seems to be: will it be a "Great Red Wave" or will it be a narrow Republican victory? The House looks to change hands. There isn't much debate on that. As for the Senate, there are 4 races now rated as a toss up that might make a difference between a slim Republican majority or a slim democrat majority. We've already seen the usual dirty tricks by the democrats as they dug up some dirt on Herschel Walker. They seemed to have forgotten the personal affairs of Raphael Warnock. Why is the media playing down one candidates scandal, while promoting the scandal involving the other? It's because the state of Georgia has become the firewall for a democrat controlled Senate. They won two Senate seats there, which they never should have won. In the meantime, Twitter is expanding it's censoring arm known as “Birdwatch.” Hopefully they'll be under new management soon. Marc Elias is still suing states in order to change election rules.
It is truly amazing how many refuse to admit that our southern border is open. It is estimated that since Biden’s inauguration, the illegal-immigrant population has increased by at least 1.35 million. That is a terrible burden on the nation both in public services and on taxes. Drugs, crime and human trafficking are all part of that package. As I keep saying: The American left did this to us. All they seem to know is that in the last 30 years, California, New Mexico and Colorado have gone from various shades of either red or purple to blue.
On a personal note: There seems to be recurring problems here. There is supposed to be rules about A) calling people out and B) discussing people on Heated Discussions who are not members. The problem is that if one is not a member, they can't see what is being discussed and evidently NT isn't monitoring HD. Fortunately, I have great friends here. When they see that I'm part of the topic of such a seed they report it and they also bring it to my attention. As it now stands, the article in question has been locked by the left hand of management, yet the comments remain.
