Food Thread: Fish Eggs, Fish Eggs, Roly-Poly Fish Eggs!

Ooh! That looks good! Except it is an odd dish that many people will carefully step around on the way to more conventional pasta dishes. Spaghetti alla Bottarga is a deceptively simple dish made of fish eggs, oil, and garlic...essentially Aglio e Olio with caviar! Except the Italian version of caviar is, A. much less expensive, and 2. made from the whole egg sac of Mullet, then salted and dried.

Yeah, it sounds a bit weird, but it is delicious, and a dish that I will order every time I see it, which is, sadly, very infrequently. I guess I should head to Sardinia, where it is a famous and popular dish, but that's a bit much for one plate of pasta, even for a glutton like me!

The base recipe can be used with pretty much any seafood, although I would stick to briny flavors like vongole (clams) or even anchovies! I think the pasta should be cooked in less water so the starchy water used to thicken the dish is as powerful as possible. And do not skimp on the garlic! But I shouldn't have to tell you that!

First World Problems...

Why do I have this in a cabinet? I don't particularly like the beer, there is only one, so it isn't even a set, and the reason for its existence is lost in the mists of time and approaching senescence.

I have a vague recollection of one of the brats going through a "Stella Artois" phase, so that must be why, but why it hasn't been tossed is beyond me.

Soon though, my village's semi-monthly bulk pickup will be worked hard. I will revel in discarding...pretty much everything!

Another mRNA Vaccine? Really?

The science of vaccines and the resulting public health miracles are one of the glories of Western Civilization. We eradicated Small Pox, have marvelous vaccines for Rabies, Tetanus, Diphtheria, and a slew of childhood diseases that can be dangerous like Pertusis (Whooping Cough), Mumps, and Measles.

But the arrogance of the government medical establishment, coupled with good old grifting conspired to create a "modern" vaccine for a manufactured disease that has destroyed the trust that most Americans had for the once-vaunted FDA and its offshoots, and the medical establishment that carried its water during the catastrophically destructive COVID fiasco.

They created a disease, they lied about its origins, they used it to destroy our civil liberties and manipulate the country to be more compliant, and perhaps worst of all, they sabotaged possible treatments to favor their dangerous and expensive vaccine and treatments.

So why should the American people think that all of those failings have magically disappeared, and the new and improved FDA/Pharma/Deep State is any more invested in the health and well being of America?

FDA Advisers Recommend Approving First mRNA Influenza Vaccine

The Food and Drug Administration should approve the first messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) vaccine for influenza, the agency’s vaccine advisory panel said on June 18.

The Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee in a unanimous vote advised the FDA to approve an mRNA flu shot from Moderna for adults aged 50 and older.

The same mRNA technology that is implicated in some serious side effects? The same mRNA technology that was used to create the COVID vaccine that was famously awful? And all for a disease that has shifting antigens that are very difficult to identify quickly enough to create an effective vaccine? The flu vaccine works adequately, but it is by no means impressive, and the mRNA vaccine won't change that, so why risk the documented side effects of an mRNA vaccine when the traditional vaccine is safe?

Oh. Look! Money!

“The presented data do indicate efficacy against flu with no safety signals,” Dr. Hana El Sahly, a professor at the Baylor College of Medicine and committee member who worked on a trial for Moderna’s COVID-19 vaccine, said after the vote.

First of all, this harridan should have never been allowed on the committee because she has a clear conflict of interest in making mRNA vaccines mainstream. Second, she is a liar. Their own data show a higher risk of complications, but she uses typical biomedical weasel-words to avoid admitting that..."no safety signals?" what the f*ck does that mean?

Traditional vaccines work wonderfully. Until mRNA vaccines are shown to be equal to or better than traditional vaccines, in particular for diseases that by definition cannot be eradicated or whose vaccine is only marginally effective, we should be very, very suspicious!

Saturday Evening Movie Thread - 6/20/2026

Hugo

The movie world continues to make quality films from time to time, and fifteen years ago Martin Scorsese released what I think is one of his best films, the adaptation of the novel The Invention of Hugo Cabret by Brian Selznick. The novel is a children's novel, several hundred pages long but with minimal words on each page and heavily illustrated in black and white pictures. However, I did not care at all about the novel when the film was announced. All I cared about was that Martin Scorsese was making a new movie.

It came, it went. I saw it in theaters, but it was a financial failure. Most people seem to have completely forgotten about it, most people seemingly dismissing it because it's a Scorsese movie that's not a gangster movie. That's all he makes, right? And he's making a children's movie? In 3D? He jumped on that bandwagon? There is every reason to ignore this, right?

Well, I love the film. I've purchased it twice (once on Blu-ray and once the 4K disc), and I've seen it half a dozen times. A couple of weeks ago, though, I decided to actually read the source novel with an eye towards the questions of adaptation. What did Scorsese (and screenwriter John Logan) change? What did they add? What did they take away?

Gardening, Home and Nature Thread, June 20

My little garden has been pretty colorful and a delight to look at out the window on a 90 degree day. Here's a couple photos of my Tequila and lime Daylilies.

Didn't realize that each blossom actually only last for a day til Hrothgar mentioned it.
In one picture you can see the delicate pink hydrangeas. I was initially disappointed that they didn't get those big rounded flowers but grew to like how delicate they look.

Daylilies and hydrangeas both come in different flower forms. The daylilies are spectacular, and the color of the hydrangeas looks nice with them.

Is that true? I would not even presume to offer a guess. But beavers, especially a big chonky mama beaver weighing over 120 pounds, are now a spectacle in London, with gawkers collecting on Beaver Viewing Pavilions to watch them chomp wood.

Philly Soros DA Larry Krasner Loses Another One: Federal Court Bars A Top Lawyer In His Office From Appearing in Federal Courts Due to Lying About Evidence to Get a Murderer Off

It's almost as if they're all filthy, dishonorable communists who lie and subvert the law to bring about the apocalypse.

Remember -- these are the "prosecutors," not the defense attorneys who are lying to the court to get murders spared the death penalty or straight-up released from prison.

A former supervisor in DA Larry Krasner's office has been suspended in federal court

The development comes just one day after the Pennsylvania Supreme Court sharply curtailed Krasner's office's ability to seek to overturn old convictions and accused its lawyers of misleading judges.

A former supervisor in Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner's office has been suspended from the region's federal courts, a development that came just one day after the Pennsylvania Supreme Court sharply curtailed the office's ability to seek to overturn old convictions and accused its lawyers of misleading judges.

Nancy Winkelman was suspended for three years by a panel of federal judges who found that she was complicit in efforts to mislead a federal judge while seeking to overturn the death sentence of a man convicted of killing an East Mount Airy couple in the 1980s and allow him to serve life in prison instead.

The ruling, made public this week, adds to the mounting judicial scrutiny of post-conviction work in Krasner's office. On Tuesday, the state Supreme Court imposed remarkable new restrictions on prosecutors' efforts to reverse potentially problematic convictions.

In a forceful and scolding opinion, the high court said Krasner's office misled judges, submitted false statements, and "violated its duty of candor" in asking a judge to vacate a 2004 murder conviction.

The court wrote that prosecutors' actions in the case were part of a troubling pattern of conduct in seeking to overturn murder convictions and ordered that, going forward, the state attorney general's office must be asked to review and weigh in on all such cases.

The panel of federal judges, in ordering Winkelman's suspension, echoed some of those concerns.

How did Krasner react when he learned that his former supervisor handling post-conviction relief had lied to judges to get guilty murderers off the hook?

He said -- and I'm not kidding -- SO CLOSE TO JUNETEENTH??!!?

Krasner said in a statement Wednesday night that Winkelman is an exceptional attorney who left a lucrative private law practice to serve the public. He said she always showed "exceptional competence and integrity and contributed mightily to needed reform."

"On the eve of Juneteenth," he said, "we should all remember that reform is necessary in every era. And that those who bring needed reform sometimes are made to pay a price."

Does the price always have to include lying in court, perpetrating a fraud on the court, and releasing vicious murders from prison so they can murder again?

The three-judge panel, in a ruling issued in March and unsealed this week, said Winkelman and a subordinate, former assistant district attorney Paul George, misled a federal judge by misrepresenting parts of the case while attempting to reverse the death sentence of Robert Wharton.

Wharton was convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to death for the 1984 strangulation and drowning deaths of Bradley and Ferne Hart inside their East Mount Airy home.

The jury found that Wharton, angry over a disputed debt, spent months terrorizing the family before he forced his way inside the home at knifepoint and killed the couple. Afterward, he turned off the heat, leaving the couple's seven-month-old baby, Lisa, to freeze to death -- but she survived.

Decades later, prosecutors in Krasner's office, in seeking to vacate his death sentence, suggested in court that the victims' family backed their effort. But it was later discovered that they had consulted only one relative and never contacted Lisa Hart-Newman, the couple's surviving daughter, who strongly opposed the move.

The woman barred for three years had a partner in this relentless campaign of fraud on the court.

But Krasner kept on both of these "rogue" prosecutors.

...

Goldberg, who denied the request to reduce Wharton's sentence, later said that George's and Winkelman's review of the case was "patently deficient" and that they had violated federal rules of procedure in a manner that was "egregious" and "exceptional."

...

Last year, the three-judge panel found that [former assistant DA Paul] George had lied to Goldberg about key facts, "flouted the interests of the public and the victims' families," and acted as the "quarterback" of efforts by the district attorney's office to undo or undermine all death penalty cases.

George, 75, was disbarred in federal court. He has denied the accusations and filed an appeal. His attorneys said his disbarment was "highly disproportionate and offends basic tenets of justice." Krasner also defended George's work and said he believed the appeals court would find that the opinion criticizing George was filled with "factually and legally incorrect" statements.

..

Winkelman, the judges said, "knowingly made misrepresentations" as part of the district attorney's office "policy of vacating all death sentences."

Krasner and his staff have long denied that the office has any such policy.

But the panel appeared to reject that, writing: "We do not credit [Winkelman's] testimony that there is no such policy."

Courts keep straight-up calling Krasner not only a liar, but an actual perjurer in court.

How is not being removed from his position entirely?

The Woke Are Weak

#Accurate:

Steve Guest
@SteveGuest

Today, Barack Obama's $850 million dollar monument to himself opened.

And on CNN NewsNight, Abby Phillip called the opening ceremony "church for liberals."

"This was like church for liberals. It was. Everybody was dressed in their Sunday finest and sitting in the pews, and he was delivering a message about, not just about that, but also actually, there was a lot of contrast happening about Trump, in the remarks from him..."

Cruel words from VDH.

The transgender frenzy was to be the left's next civil rights crusade, as it constructed a new victimized class with reparatory claims against the guilty traditionalist majority.

Soon, an epidemic of teens began wondering whether they were in fact "trans" and pondering whether to undergo a battery of dangerous hormonal and chemical drug regimens.

What accounts for these bouts of periodic, collective and suicidal madness?

First, the craziness is almost always birthed in the contemporary, affluent and leisured West, which alone has the capital and resources to afford such freakish sideshows.

Second, the frenzies are usually the creation of the left, predictably birthed in universities, the media and the bureaucracies.

They appear with familiar symptoms. The irredeemable, deplorable and "garbage" hoi polloi are supposedly too dense to be properly schooled and thus must be frightened to death in order to adopt agendas that otherwise appear to them as utterly insane.

Junk your natural-gas dryer and grill, or face massive floods on your coasts. Drop the SAT and defund the police or face endless race riots.

Hire thousands of race and gender commissars or be forever tagged as racists, sexists, homophobes and transphobes.

Open the border and let illegal aliens enter by the millions, and thus pay partial penance for "whiteness."

The left is correct that few Western voters will openly embrace the unpopular elite agenda of racial fixations, globalism, laxity on crime and degrowth environmentalism.

So their long-term solutions have four predictable aspects:

1) Open the borders to create a more diverse, impoverished and needy constituency.

2) Create fake "working-class" pseudo-populist candidates like the pampered Graham Platner, the God-is-nonbinary "new Christian" James Talarico and, of course, the waxen effigy of good ol' Joe Biden from Scranton.

3) Destroy time-tested systems by seeking to demolish the Electoral College, the 50-state union, the Senate filibuster and the nine-justice Supreme Court.

4) Gin up these end-of-days, pseudo-existential crises whose solutions require massive new taxes, bigger government and more dictatorial elite managers.

One good sign of growing antidotes is that increasingly Americans, and indeed all Westerners, are saying no to green haranguers, gender and sex demagogues, the race-baiting industry, the open-borders conglomerate and ungrateful immigrants.

Their pushback might be summed up as: "We are no longer going to allow you to destroy ancient traditions that ensured our prosperity, security and liberty, and which were handed down to us by generations far better than your own."

The Free Becon: A Mostly Violent Protest Movement.

The indictments brought in the Eastern District of Michigan last week against eight 20-somethings deeply involved in anti-Israel protests at the University of Michigan's Ann Arbor campus pull back the curtain on what that movement is really about.

Announcing the indictments, FBI director Kash Patel described a "campaign of violent, criminal acts" in which the Michigan eight engaged in a coordinated campaign of intimidation against university leaders--the president, the provost, the chief investment officer, members of the board of regents, and university police officers, plus "anyone they believed supported" the State of Israel--after the school shut down their illegal "solidarity encampment."

They threw noxious chemicals through the windows of victims' homes, taped demand letters to their doors, defaced the Jewish Federation of Detroit on the one-year anniversary of Oct. 7, and spray-painted private homes with messages like "Intifada" and "Free Palestine."

Then they tried to intimidate a witness, identified in the indictment only as a University of Michigan student the defendants believed was cooperating with federal authorities. Defendants Paige Feyock, a Wellesley graduate and University of Michigan medical researcher, and Zainab Hakim, a 2024 University of Michigan graduate who was then hired by the university for a full-time job in the Center for South Asian Studies, hatched a plan to confront the witness. In mid-July 2024 Feyock aired her concerns about a "snitch" who was "going to send us to federal prison." In early August, she told her pals she and Hakim planned to get coffee with the witness: "ima strip search [him] ... to see if he is wearing a wire. not taking no chances with him." After the fact, she reported, the victim "knows not to talk."

The alleged criminality on display in Ann Arbor is hardly an isolated incident. At UCLA, so-called protesters set up a "Jew Exclusion Zone" barring Zionists from a portion of the campus. At Columbia, pampered rich kids stormed and occupied a university building and held two janitors hostage. At Harvard, a pair of graduate students accosted a fellow student walking across campus.

We're picking up what they're putting down. The nucleus of the "pro-Palestine" protest movement more closely resembles the violent left-wing movements of the past, from the Weather Underground to the Symbionese Liberation Army and Black Lives Matter, that have used terror, violence, and intimidation in an attempt to achieve their political aims.

Have you heard of Hello Fresh? It's a kind of scammy "service" for lazy Millennials. They send you a box full of ingredients and a recipe so that you can make a meal.

I think most people would say that it's easy enough to find a recipe, build a shopping list from it, and buy the groceries yourself, but lazy, helpless adultbabies need a special service to do these very basic "Adulting" tasks for them.

But that's not the story here. The story is that Hello Fresh decided to show its #Pride by offering "high-fiber meals" for Pride Month.

High fiber? Why? Isn't high fiber for good colon health?

Ahhh. Yes, that's it.

Apparently -- and I didn't know this -- people "prep" for anal sex by having high fiber meals to clean out their colons.

And Hello Fresh is now offering recipes and ingredients to make high-fiber, pre-sodomy meals.

Is this really "pride" now? Is this how you want to represent yourselves?

Hello Fresh doubled down and left no ambiguity about the purpose of their new colon-cleaning recipes: Coupon code "BOTTOMS UP"!

Blue Apron -- a scammy competitor to Hello Fresh's feeding service for retards -- got in on the act too, but far less graphically.

I mean, still graphically. But less.

And gay activists continue to wonder why support for gay "rights" is falling.

Look at the behavior of those claiming to represent gays and their Woke White Woman "champions." There might be a clue there.

And remember: It's completely safe to create "gay marriage," because, Bigots, Nothing about gay marriage will affect your lives at all!

A practical guide for Muslims on how to navigate LGBTQ Pride month

5Pillars has compiled a brief guide for Muslims living in the West on how to navigate LGBTQ Pride month during June.

...

We have based the following guidance on publicly available guidance provided by mainstream Muslim scholars.

This is one of the most pressing challenges facing Muslim families in the West today: how to navigate LGBTQ-related issues while remaining grounded in Islamic teachings.

...

An Islamic framework for sexual ethics

...

In this framework, moral standards are derived from divine revelation rather than individual desire or changing social norms.

The Quranic account of Prophet Lut (as) and related Hadith clearly show that same-sex sexual relationships are prohibited in Islam.

"Do you approach males among the worlds and leave what your Lord has created for you as mates? Rather, you are a transgressing people." (Qur'an 26:165--166)

Similar passages appear in Qur'an 7:80--84, 11:77--83, 27:54--58, and 29:28--35. Classical scholars understood these verses as condemning same-sex sexual acts.

The Quran consistently describes spouses as male and female:

"And among His signs is that He created for you from yourselves mates that you may find tranquility in them..." (Qur'an 30:21)

Other relevant verses include Qur'an 4:1, 49:13, and 53:45. Traditional Islamic law recognises marriage only between a man and a woman.

I'm literally shaking rn you guys.

When I mentioned that "experts" in Spain predicted that 500,000 migrants would take advantage of mass amnesty -- but now that figure is 1,000,000 and climbing -- I forgot to mention a key admission from the socialist government: They were expressly granting mass amnesty "to defeat the far right."

Spain has started to legalise 500,000 undocumented migrants and give them the immediate right to work in a move "to fight against the advance of the far-Right".

Madrid officially began the process on Tuesday after a last-minute deal between the ruling Socialist party and the Left-wing Podemos party, which has propped up Pedro Sanchez's minority government since elections in 2023.

A government spokesman said: "We not only intend to remain a beacon, but I want to believe that we will be a seed and a germ to fight against the advance of this far-Right wave that is trying to gain ground, and against which we will do everything in our power to stop it."

"Podemos" is Spanish for "We Can." Does that sound familiar to anyone? Si, Se Puede! (Yes, We Can!)

PanEuropeanMovement
@EuropeanPan

The Spanish government and its partners openly state that the reason for legalising more than half a million migrants is to "defeat the far right." This is literally weaponised demography. They took the most conspiratorial interpretation of the "Great Replacement" that is not even shared by most far right parties, namely it being a coordinated elite plan to reduce the native European share of the population, and actually turned it into policy - while also bypassing parliament, I might add.

At least nothing like that is going on in the US:

Hollywood: Shit or Garbage?

Armie Hammer was being pushed as an actor before he was completely blacklisted from Hollywood due to #MeToo allegations I never really understood. I know people say he's a "cannibal" because his sexts included stuff like "I want to consume you" but that seems to me to be a case of dirty talk gone wrong.

I have no idea if he should or shouldn't be cancelled. I do know that he's attempting a comeback and that few people will hire him. He's in what appears to be an edgy movie about a vigilante who kills "criminals and those in power who protect them," which is always a taboo kind of movie for Hollywood. It's very low-budget, which you can tell from the movie showing off stuff to make it seem like a big-budget movie, but the stuff they're showing -- like an APC driving down the street -- is relatively cheap to achieve.

Is this some kind of signal that the cultural zeitgeist is shifting against the Regime? I doubt it, because someone is always able to raise a smallish amount of money for this kind of movie. See both the Charles Bronson Death Wish and the underrated Bruce Willis remake. (I'm not saying it's great, I'm just saying it's underrated.)

Yes, Death Wish did definitely indicate that the public was moving decisively against liberal indulgence of rampant criminality, but most of these kinds of movies mean nothing. Urban vigilante movies are often popular. Even Jodie Foster did one (and it was pretty decent.)

Still, maybe it's something? I don't know. It'll probably wind up telling us that Those In Power Protecting Criminals are Donald Trump and his friend, Cyborg Jeffrey Epstein.

Hunter Biden Challenges Don Jr. to a Cage Match; Jill Biden's Trash "Book" Flops Hard but the Fake NYT Bestseller List Has It, Somehow, At #1

A reality TV clown before actually being cast on a reality TV show:

A tough-talking Hunter Biden has challenged Donald Trump Jr. to a cage fight in a lengthy social media post about how the UFC Freedom 250 event at the White House was offensive to him.

Former President Joe Biden's (D) son directed his comments to podcaster Joe Rogan on Thursday, writing, "Dear Joe, I wish I could sit down with you face to face and explain why so many of us were offended by the UFC fight on the South Lawn of the White House."

"For me, it had nothing to do with the UFC or who showed up for the fights. The brand you and Dana have built is a bona fide American success story. More power to you. As for the fighters, in my book, anyone brave enough to put it all on the line in the arena is remarkable to witness," he continued.

However, Hunter said his "problem" with it was that "I believe some of our public spaces are sacred," adding, "The White House does not belong to Donald Trump. It does not belong to any President. It belongs to the people. To treat it as Caesar treated the Colosseum is antithetical to everything our founding fathers fought for. This is not Rome. Presidents are not emperors doling out bread and circuses for the peasants. The White House is the People's House."

...

When it comes to Hunter's comment that "some of our public spaces are sacred," it is important to note that transgender activists bared their topless chests during a White House LGBTQ Pride Event his father hosted in 2023.

This was not the first time Hunter has advertised his readiness to fight President Donald Trump's sons. In April, he made it clear he was "100 percent in" on a cage match with Don Jr. and Eric Trump, Breitbart News reported.

It was unclear where Hunter, a convicted felon who is $17 million in debt, wanted to have the cage match with Don Jr. because he recently self-deported to South Africa, the outlet reported in April.

There are multiple layers of controversies surrounding Hunter, one of which Breitbart News highlighted in May.

Here's why Don Jr. should not accept Hunter Biden's offer to fight him in a UFC style cage match:

1, Don, Jr. has a career, unlike disgraced crackhead, gun felon, tax felon, whore-addict, and paternity-dodger Hunter Biden. Don Jr. can continue a career in politics or go back to working as an executive in the Trump businesses, while Hunter Biden's career path consists of a single track:

1, getting cast on increasingly sleazy and cheap "reality" TV shows as the Designated Heel,

2, gay porn where he only "gives,"

3, gay porn where he begins "taking,"

4, gay porn where he starts "taking" from six to eight men at one go,

and then

5, dying of AIDS-related complications.

This is the career path of failed influencers and internet-based whores such as Bonny Blue and is the best case scenario for the last squalid chapters of Hunter Biden's miserable life.

But Don Jr. is not on that track. Gratefully, most people are not.

The criminal Biden family still has some opportunities to grift left open to them.

Hunter Biden, $17 Million in Debt, Is Hired by 'Ultra-Luxury' Drug Rehab Clinic for 'High-Achieving' Professionals

The former first son appears to be leveraging his new visibility as an addiction recovery influencer to get work

It's as if he went to a career counselor, who asked him "What do you like doing?" and he said "Drugs and lots of them, and being paid for merely existing" and the counselor pulled out the contact information for this place.

This only works for the filthily degenerate sons of Democrat Crime Family Capos, of course.

An "ultra-luxury" drug and alcohol rehab center nestled in the Hollywood Hills has hired former first son Hunter Biden as an adviser and executive director of its charitable foundation, a new gig that could help the convicted felon whittle down millions of dollars in unpaid legal bills and other debts.

Peak Path Health announced Biden's hire this week, touting his "lived experience and professional insight" from his struggles with addiction to crack, alcohol, and other substances. "The announcement comes during a meaningful milestone in Hunter Biden's personal journey, as he celebrates seven years of sobriety this month," says Peak Path.

The Yale-educated attorney joins Peak Path, which launched last year, as he has positioned himself on social media and the podcast circuit as a ubiquitous recovery influencer, speaking openly about his lifelong struggle with sobriety, as well as taking pot shots at his family's detractors.

Biden's new job could be of interest to his many creditors. Biden has said he owes $17 million to attorneys who represented him in tax and gun felony cases, as well as various defamation lawsuits. Biden, who received a presidential pardon for the federal crimes from his father, claimed in recent legal filings that he is destitute, and unable to pay Winston & Strawn, the firm that represented him and is now suing him over unpaid bills, claiming he is "impecunious" and "does not have" enough money to conduct a professional search for emails sought in the lawsuit. In one filing, Biden's attorney said he was living abroad, and therefore unable to respond to Winston & Strawn's demands that he pay his bills. But Biden has been spotted in the United States multiple times in April and May--three times in wealthy areas of Southern California and once in Nashville, when he made an in-person appearance in the studio of the notorious antisemitic podcaster Candace Owens.

Read the whole thing from Chuck Ross. He points out that Hunter Biden keeps tweeting and speaking as if he is present in the US, which makes his court representations perjurious and jailable.

Allegedly. Allegedly.

It is unclear how much Peak Path will pay Biden, and whether his job requires him to work on-location at its treatment facilities or if he can work remotely from his supposed "overseas" home. Peak Path did not respond to requests for comment, and Biden's attorney declined to comment. Biden also says he has another Southern California gig, working as director of development at BASTA Universal, a tenants rights law firm in Los Angeles that had its nonprofit status revoked last year.

I think we'd all like to universally say Basta to Hunter Biden.

Meanwhile, Jill Biden's book failed to chart on Amazon's lists and has only sold 20,000 copies in two weeks but the corrupt communist propaganda rag The New York Times says it's #1.

BTW, the New York Times infamously admitted in court that its "besteller list" was rigged and entirely fictitious itself. An author sued them for not being included on the list despite having the actual, factual #1 bestseller, and the NYT's defense was that its "bestseller" list was not intended to be an actual list of books selling the best, but a holistic view of what middle-aged white Karens might want to pretend to read.
