The Morning Report — 12/8/23

Good morning, kids. So, Hunter Biden got slapped with some tax evasion charges that supposedly could get him upwards of 17 years in the federal slammer. Okay, you can stop laughing. But still. . .

“They could have brought these charges much earlier,” Tolman added. “They didn’t because they wanted to try to slip one past the American public.”
Hunter Biden pleaded not guilty to two misdemeanor tax charges and a felony gun charge during a July 26 hearing after a plea bargain announced June 20 collapsed after United States District Judge Maryellen Noreika questioned the initial plea deal.
“This is an effort to also protect Joe Biden,” Tollman said. “The heat is increasing. The scope of his involvement is increasing. The evidence is coming forward that he had more participation and contact with Hunter Biden’s funders.”
Attorney General Merrick Garland announced the appointment of Weiss as special counsel on Aug. 11 to investigate allegations of tax law and gun law violations surrounding Hunter Biden.

Indeed. Weiss was a stooge who was put there by Garland to sweep this crap under the rug. When the sweetheart plea deal and Weiss' general malfeasance and intentional foot dragging were exposed and then ultimately nixed, it opened the Pandora's box of indictments. Now, all that said, what does all this mean in terms of politics and not the illusion of an impartial criminal justice system? It means Joe Biden is such a huge drag on the Democrats and Deep State that they perhaps feel they cannot rig the 2024 elections effectively/believably enough to shove his corpse over the finish line. Between the border, the economy, the war on children and even not being enough of an open Jew-hater to satisfy the Muslims and Maoists, the base is just not going to show up in numbers strong enough to bolster the cheat.

The writing has been on the wall for some time; Joe Biden is a distinct liability not only to the Left's electoral prospects, but his record of destruction has opened too many formerly blinkered eyes to the fact that that destruction was intentional and done at the behest of the party. And THAT is the mortal threat that cannot be allowed to fester. In the end, though, given the stranglehold on us by a now entrenched Leftist Leviathan of a Bureaucracy, joke-shop Congress, a court system that is at best 50/50 rigged to oppress any and all opposition to the latter and the media, academia and far too much of a now crony/fascist private sector, do elections (rigged or not) even matter anymore?

No Trump or Trumpian outsider will have a snowball's chance in hell to overcome the rank insubordination, if not mass mutiny or God-forbid worse should he or she overcome the cheat and win a national election. And yet, as we can see, the fear is palpable, what with all this orchestrated and predigested blather that Trump will become a dictatorial tyrant if he wins in 2024. Well, of course, that is projection writ large. But still. The optimist senses perhaps the ground shifting beneath our feet. Naturally, so does the pessimist because the forces of evil that control the instrumentalities of power are not going to just shrug their shoulders and surrender, are they?

The question is, will the handful of operating brain cells in Biden's skull believe the hype of "82 million votes!" and all the rest of his lifetime of lies and bullshit, and insist that he fight the good fight and refuse to step down? We shall see. If he does dig in his heels, the Left will be forced to reveal more of his and his family's criminality or pull a 25th Amendment on him. Either way, it's not a good look for the Democrats and an impossible task for the propaganda machine to make chicken salad out of a mountain of chicken shit.

* * * * *

On to other things Quick Hits style, I suppose. A couple of podcasts back, CBD and I discussed the issue of the First Amendment vis a vis the banning of the app TikTok. Aside from the fact that its content is as much of a moral cancer on the minds and souls of America's youth as are their schools, TikTok is in fact owned by the People's Republic of China. Our enemy who for all intents and purposes is at war with us and attempting to take us down from within. That alone is reason enough to ban the damned thing. And yet, someone who I thought knew better writes this:

Every election cycle, Republicans dutifully recite platitudes about winning "the youth vote" and bringing younger voters into the GOP fold. And in every election, Republicans fail to deliver on that. . .
. . . It's an age-old problem, but that doesn't mean Republicans shouldn't try. Unfortunately, the plan they've come up with involves banning Gen Z's favorite social-media app, TikTok. Yes, TikTok is dangerous, and it helps the Chi-coms spy on us via data mining and security breaches. Tech expert Kim Komando wrote:

TikTok is a national security threat. The Chinese-owned social media platform’s parent company ByteDance is based in Beijing and is required by Chinese law to give the government access to collected data. TikTok collects data that includes search and browsing history, facial ID, voice prints, texts, location, and photos.
So just ban the thing already, right? Yeah, if you want to anger the 80 million active users in the U.S. — two-thirds of whom are of voting age. The vast majority of TikTok users are under 29 (Gen Z), and most spend more than an hour and a half a day on the addictive platform, opening it 19 times. Yet somehow, GOP candidates think this is a winning issue for their party. . .
Again, there are dangers to TikTok, but an outright ban right now, when it's at the height of its popularity, would send Gen-Z voters into the streets, rending their garments and protesting the loss of their favorite mind-numbing entertainment platform. Is that really a winning message? I share others' concerns about the dangers of TikTok — just not as a campaign issue. If and when Republicans ever get control of Congress and the White House again (and that's a big if), then there will be time to come up with some creative solutions for mitigating the risk — solutions that are, hopefully, not inherently anti-freedom.
So let's stop talking about TikTok and focus on the price of bread and eggs and the exorbitant cost of a college education and a home— kitchen-table issues that Gen-Zers and every other generation care about. We've got enough trouble with government censorship in this country. We don't need to be a party to it.

It's amazing how someone I consider quite smart like Paula Bolyard can be so dumb. Ban or no ban, does she really think that the Gen-Z demographic is going to show up at the polls en masse and vote Republican? The other thing that gets me crazy is admitting something is worse than radioactive ass cancer "but we have to ignore it because it's not a winning issue." Or that, "it's the economy, stupid." Can we not walk and chew gum at the same time? TikTok is a mortal danger. It's a threat to our national security and has been shown on more than one occasion to be potentially lethal. Hell, it's now a major platform for all the Jew-hatred on and off campus since 10/7. But we have to ignore it because we'll turn off the youth vote?! Sheesh.

Dare I say it, similar arguments can be made about abortion. Regardless of the fact that I think it is a massively losing issue for our side, the fact remains that it is the ONLY issue the Dems have and they will run on it. The question is what are we going to do about it? How do we counter and then blunt the issue and take it away from them? Not, how do we apologize and/or put our heads in the sand hoping they'll leave us alone?

It's disheartening and maddening that so many otherwise bright people like Paula Bolyard are still living in some fantasy world where, despite all the evidence around them, they believe retail politics and business as usual are still the order of the day.

That aside, her observation that so many young people are addicted to TikTok is yet another signpost of a dystopian, nightmare future ahead. If America's future generations are already lost, then why bother? Do we sacrifice ourselves and our future for temporary practical political necessity, even when there is absolutely zero guarantee that we eke out even a small victory in the near term? This is a moral dilemma that raises a lot of troubling questions which many of you no doubt are already pondering, vis a vis, fighting back and reversing course in order to save our nation and society.

Meanwhile, in another part of the forest, this happened:

A woman attempted to burn down Martin Luther King Jr.’s birth home, arriving with a gas canister and dousing the historic property in fuel Thursday. Video from the brazen attempt shows a woman dressed in all black freely pouring gasoline on the home’s front porch, windows, and bushes around 5:45 p.m., WSB-TV reported.
Two tourists from Utah viewing the home were able to intervene to stop the suspect, police said. One witness recalled the suspect began to grow irritated after she was having trouble spreading the fuel around the property, according to FOX 5 Atlanta. The suspected arsonist was then quickly detained by two off-duty NYPD officers who had been visiting the historical landmark and held her until Atlanta Police arrived. . .
. . . The suspect, 26, has been charged with criminal attempt arson and criminal attempt interference with government property. Police have not released her name."

She's not a minor and they've not released her name? Clad all in black and trying to burn MLK's birthplace to the ground? Nothing suspicious about this at all!

A cursory examination of the photo in the article seems to show mystery woman has a melanin content that will initiate an automatic embargo from the Junta-approved propaganda organs. I've been predicting for years now that the teachings of Dr. King will one day force the Cultural Revolutionaries to tear down his statues and rename all those MLK Jr. Boulevards to something else.

Wouldn't surprise me in the least to learn that somehow, somewhere, this miscreant is connected to the FBI. It's probably a fair bet she has a TikTok account. What say you, Paula Bolyard?

Personal appeal: If you can, please consider hitting the TIP JAR. It takes quite a bit of time and effort to do this, and your assistance at any level really helps. Thank you!

Have a great weekend, see you tomorrow for the hobby thread.

If he does dig in his heels, the Left will be forced to reveal more of his and his family's criminality or pull a 25th Amendment on him.

He has no choice but to dig in his heels - or go to jail. Which isn't bad news to me. RFK Jr is gonna snatch any chance of victory away from him, just as John Anderson in 1980 with his 7% vote total precluded Jimmy Carter any chance of reelection.

I'm sure at a certain point the leftists are going to run the numbers and see that I'm correct. That's when things get truly interesting.

21 A part of me wonders if the tax evasion charges against Hunter are really a shot across the bow from the Gavin Newsome wing of the Democrat party.

Or maybe CA just wants their pound of flesh. CA and NY seem to *really* want their tax money, regardless of how rich and powerful you might be.

I think that because it's all based on tax charges, when instead it could have included trafficking prostitutes and gun charges answers your question.

I would not put it past TPTB to off the guy. He’s become a real problem for their side. Now Hunter’s new indictments make him more, not less, likely to dig in his heals.

You almost have to laugh at the Dem predicament… of their own making BTW. They’ve got a stubborn dementia patient at the resolute desk and a stupid cackler waiting in the wings… and they can’t get rid of or bypass her either because of their own intersectionality rules (woman of color!). The way it’s shaping up they’ll have to lose next year ( to Trump!! and face a dictatorship [eyeroll]) or they’ll have to cheat on such an eye popping scale it’ll be obvious even to LIVs.

58 The Left's foreign policy dissonance is amazing. Shameless. Many of us said "Putin is an asshole, but he's nuclear armed. I don't think the US should provoke him to protect a corrupt douchebag in a country where our only interest is political graft." They shrieked that anyone who took the neutrality position was a Putinist.

Then, after years of treacly rhetoric about just wanting peace for Arab and Jew alike, they immediately started frothing at the mouth at the sight of Jewish blood. No principled arguments for neutrality or US arbitration of a peace deal, just "we must support Hamas' righteous war."

It's just two of a million examples of NPC-think. I'd say that lurching from official truth to official truth every day must be weird for people, but it's so easy for them. They do it constantly. They just reach in their pockets, take out their Apple branded firmware updater, and flash their memory like in Men in Black.

His taxes have been an issue for years. Obviously he's a member of the State in good standing so nothing has ever been done about it. The GOP is likewise unfazed as they're in on the corruption too.

San Antonio Airport shooting suspect dead, lockdown canceled, police say

An attempted mass shooting outside the San Antonio International Airport on Thursday was prevented by a parks officer working overtime, police in San Antonio, Texas, said.

The shooter was driving in the wrong direction on an airport roadway when the officer – who is not being named – stopped him outside Terminal B, police said.

“The officer who stopped this saved a lot of lives,” San Antonio Police Chief William McManus said during a news conference Thursday afternoon.

The shooter – who has not been identified – had “a full box of ammunition,” according to McManus. “He had a .45 caliber handgun that he was shooting in the direction of the terminal, at the police officer and behind him, indiscriminately.”

78 Back in 2011's race for the President, Herman Cain was the pre-Trump example, a businessman and CEO that had actual executive experience, if not at a governmental level. He was taken down by sexual harassment claims, the likely truth of which is probably how fast the girls disappeared AFTER he was knocked out of the race.

PJ Media had a Slack-like system going back then, their writers making posts and articles in a similar way to Instapundit, but a little more Web 2.0. I cannot say for certain, but Paula Bolyard comes to mind as the attack dog of PJ Media that went after Herman Cain tooth and nail on these allegations.

If someone else remembers and can confirm it was her, please do. The amount of effort in attacking Cain in those posts and articles were single-minded; the author had no other notable posts EXCEPT attacking Cain. When Barack Obama was already making a mess with his first term.

If it was Paula I remember, that probably says a lot more about her political instincts, combined with her stance on TikTok.

84 >>I think that because it's all based on tax charges, when instead it could have included trafficking prostitutes and gun charges answers your question.

These are federal charges brought by Weiss not state level and Hunter is already facing gun charges since the judge in Delaware tossed the plea deal last summer.

The bigger issue is that Weiss allowed the statute of limitations to expire on the more serious and more consequential charges having to do with Burisma to expire. Those charges would have made the connection to Joe and perhaps others a lot more powerful.

The only reason these charges got brought is because they hadn't timed out and a couple of brave whistleblowers came forward and for their efforts they have been slimed by the left, the media and their own agency. Still, hard to see how this is good news for Joe. None of this would have been possible if Hunter didn't have a product to sell and that product was Joe.

There is a clear and simple way to do it in a manner that is constitutionally sound, which is trade. TikTok is foreign and any foreign good can be banned.

If ByteDance wants to license the IP to a domestic firm and operator, then it's more or less unassailable. If it doesn't, it isn't. Then the domestic firm can also slurp up a chunk - perhaps the larger chunk - of the profits to boot.

They either know Hunter is getting a slap on the wrist or maybe it's a way to get Biden off the ticket and have Newsom run.

184 >>I have been calling the presidency a "false prize" for a while now. I think it's the key lesson from the Trump era. Go off the reservation and the deep state with thwart you at every step.

Ultimately, the real prize is making the public aware of what is going on. That's where the real power has always been, with the people. It took us decades of pubic apathy to get to this place and no one election or event is going to change things, it will take time and many small victories.

The Trump victory was one of the most consequential political wins in the history of this country. The effort the deep state put into taking him down brought their actions from the shadows to the light and millions and millions of people saw for the first time how the game was rigged. It also helped people see that a huge parr of the Republican Party they thought was fighting for them was part of the Borg.

Trump is a giant middle finger to the deep state, an indication that we know what they have been doing and we won't have it. And it created a movement they are powerless to stop If his potential victory in 2024 was so unimportant they wouldn't be psychotically plotting on how to take him out.

Praise upon praise upon more lavish praise, with paragraph after paragraph noting how awesome it was that a teacher did this and could manage such a thing and would think about the university after such a lifetime of wisdom and planning and saving and investing.

And the very last paragraph noted that her husband was an investment banker and he'd passed away a couple of years earlier.

236 >>They hate Trump. They hate him not because they fear what he can, but because the despise outsiders - especially outsiders who caught them flat-footed and managed to crash their party. If he wins in '24, he will not have an effective administration. They can and will stop him regardless, just like last time. They will be desperately unhappy about *another* 5-7 years of an enraged public, but I don't think they fear it. I think they're just extremely annoyed about it.

I disagree. Had the 2020 election not been stolen there would be no war in Ukraine, no war in Israel, no open border with over 10 million illegals in the country, we would be energy independent still and Trump's Schedule F Executive Order that he signed just before the election would not only still be in effect it would be gutting the administrative state. And more.

The entire course of the country was changed was Trump and we were cheated out of the election. Of course they are going to fight back and there will be losses and setbacks as in any war but I don't see how anyone can look at where we were 4 years ago and look where we are today and not see that having the right person in the presidency is fundamental.

Amy Robach: In the list of reasons why you were on that board, you didn’t list the fact that you were the son of the vice president. What role do you think that played?

Hunter Biden: I think it is impossible for me to be on the boards of any of the ones I mentioned without saying I’m the son of the vice president of the United States.

AR: You were paid $50,000 a month for your position?

HB: Look, I’m a private citizen. One thing I don’t have to do is sit here and open my kimono as it relates to how much money I make or made, or did or didn’t. It’s all been reported.

That kimono is open now. I hear a sub-theme in this interview and nearly every other action or statement from the Biden crime family is they felt immune from legal consequences because of their political status.

Regardless of the fact that I think it is a massively losing issue for our side, the fact remains that it is the ONLY issue the Dems have and they will run on it. The question is what are we going to do about it? How do we counter and then blunt the issue and take it away from them?

If you wish. It's all just a thought exercise. They will not be banning TikTok - TikTok is aligned, and therefore a net benefit. They also probably won't ban Ace soon, because Ace is small.

The better example in this thought exercise is X, which is under open assault. The state probably won't get directly involved (e.g., banning it), because its proxies are going after its revenue. That's a game that's *already* been played effectively and knocked out a lot of unaligned platforms. Why do you think Ace is reduced to toenail fungus ads and a tip jar?

The entire point is academic, but interesting to consider.

I seriously doubt that, had the '20 election not been stolen, the Schedule F order would have been effective. It would have just been ignored. Like how the orders to prepare to withdraw from Afghanistan were ignored.

The war point is real and a good one. Those wars probably would not be going on had Trump not been blocked. The amount of money flowing would be reduced and so would the skim.

Domestically, nothing would be different. The IC would still be censoring everything and the rest of the bureaucratic state would still be going hog wild thwarting every action they could put their hands on. The Congress would still be spending like drunken sailors and pushing inflation hard. Energy would likely be in better shape.

299 Of course, treating Social Media as adults-only would also fail because the root cause - grossly corrosive and evil government - is still the core problem. The mechanisms would just be used to squeeze out whatever is left.

In reality (and I've covered it before in a rant some time back), I don't advocate for it but I think the best and soundest way to deal with the problem through law would be to remove minors from those platforms.

But there is no solution in law, because the law is at least as pernicious as these platforms are, and far far more hateful in every aspect.

310 >>I seriously doubt that, had the '20 election not been stolen, the Schedule F order would have been effective. It would have just been ignored. Like how the orders to prepare to withdraw from Afghanistan were ignored.

We'll see if Trump gets back in office because he and his shadow team have been talking about refiling it during his rallies. Sounds like Kash Patel will be helping facilitate it.

>>Domestically, nothing would be different. The IC would still be censoring everything and the rest of the bureaucratic state would still be going hog wild thwarting every action they could put their hands on. The Congress would still be spending like drunken sailors and pushing inflation hard. Energy would likely be in better shape.

Again, disagree. Energy independence for one. I liked cheap gas and so did the economy which was the best in generations under Trump and would have bounced back had Joe not fucked it up. And the southern border, something they have managed to turn into the worst crisis in US history, would be instead the best as it was under Trump. And we sure as hell wouldn't be bowing to Xi and other dictators.

I don't know how you can say that. According to the BP the border was the most secure under Trump than at any time since they started keeping records. Since October 1st of this year over 500,000 have poured into the US. 2 months. It is the worst border situation in the country's history even if the media refuses to cover it. It is crushing cities like NYC and Chicago and as much as we don't like them it will have implications for all of us. The court didn't end Remain in Mexico, Biden did. The court just said the president has the power to do that cause the presidency matters.

Absolutely. The border was better under Trump and it was all being fought tooth and nail in the courts. COVID offered a reprieve, but it was winding down and all of it would have resumed. I am not confident that Trump's reforms would have survived beyond 2022 anyway - just like they didn't under Biden. For different reasons to be sure, but similar outcomes. Biden ended "Remain in Mexico" but the courts would have if Trump hadn't. Their sudden "the presidency matters" stance would magically disappear. The deep state wants that open border and it will get it come hell or high water.

The international situation is far worse without question. Some of those problems like de-dollarization - would be happening to some degree anyway, albeit much less severe. That is a big deal, but it isn't a day-to-day life deal (not right now).

"I prefer Italian cruises above any other, for 3 reasons.

2) The food is always amazingly good.
3) If there is a real emergency, there's none of this bother about Women and Children First.

@taylorswift13
After stoking the fires of white supremacy and racism your entire presidency, you have the nerve to feign moral superiority before threatening violence? ‘When the looting starts the shooting starts’??? We will vote you out in November.

MAGAts DO NOT have such a person to emulate or boost. They have has-been rockers like Kid Rock and the Nuge. While Democrats have The Boss, Jon Bonjiovi, Dolly Parton, Taylor Swift, Travis Kelce, Patrick Mahomes, and others...

I truly expect Taylor to go all in this time. May 2020 was relatively low point in her career. Now no-one can touch her.

Taylor Swift and her generation gives me hope for our future. I saw the Beach Boys live in 1965. I would like to bookend that with a Taylor Swift concert.

Democrats have a long,proud history of musicians speaking truth to fascism/power.

Don't underestimate Taylor or the Swifties. They are truly a force to be reckoned with - a force for good!! The Swifties broke Ticketmaster. She told them the importance of registering to vote...they will in 2024!

This actually could be true. We will find out.

The problem with this assessment - that Swift can shift the election - is that much of her fan base is *already* aligned against anything other progressiveness. Her fans are mostly millennial and younger women. More unmarried than married. Those are already in the tank for the left, so Swift whipping them into a fervor might not make a huge difference.

The biggest subset of her fan base that is of concern is married women, who tend to break non-prog. Can Swift move them? I dunno.

436 I dunno. Should we go through the list of Trump's flaws, picks, statements , etc and use that as a single basis to disqualify him? Or should we look at the broader context and the greater good of what he did , and in particular his specific motivation for each decision.

Tough call, but nonetheless if we are going to judge him by one standard and everyone else by another there's a name for that- intellectual dishonesty.

It amazes me that one vote, without context or reasoning suddenly becomes a basis for calling someone a RINO, or establishment. Meanwhile everything Trump did gets the waive of the hand and dissembling. And I won't speak for Ace, but I believe that's at least part of the issue.

Santos is a scumbag and anyone with an ounce of integrity wanted him out. I get that it limits the majority but there are a lot of people who should take a good long look in the mirror about that. Especially the 8 people who voted with Democrats to oust the speaker.

There's got to be a name for phenomenon: Lefties destroy the career of anyone who does not just agree with them, but is vocal and helps the movement forward*. Happens in entertainment, on campus, etc. Then they use this lack of non-progressive people to look up to as proof that non-progressive thought is uncool and unsuccessful; "conservatives are so stupid and mean they can't get any celebrities at their events!"etc.. I'm sure there have been many very talented non-progressive artists, and they either kept their mouths shut (why ruin a career?) or did speak up and had their careers derailed.

*Taylor was famously non-political for many years. It drove the entertainment/celebrity gossip media INSANE.

That's a lot of money to spend for someone to leave after sex.

Posted by: dantesed at December 08, 2023 09:21 AM (88xKn)

He divorced in 2017, so he has grounds for comparison of costs of divorce + support payments, versus paying them to leave. Hey, that crack ain't gonna buy itself.

I couldn't hang with any of them more than a minute or so. They were boring. No hooks at all. Crap melodies. The lyrics did nothing for me, but I'm not a lyrics guy.

Probably, lyrics for the girls to account for her popularity.

Or...she's reasonably cute and dates all/most/some of the current cultures heart-throbs then sings songs about the relationship. Maybe a wish-fullfillment figure?

Not going to get into what she can/can't do, but you have to understand how the DNC operates: they have a strong and established partnership with Hollywood to amplify their message, persuade their fans. Recall during Obama's term that he had an office specifically tasked with tapping Hollywood to incorporate his policies into their tv/movie storylines. It was also revealed back then that Twitter spaces was used rapid-response messaging between DC and Hollywood. Sure, a politician might have a decent social media following, but get people like John Legend, Swift, a Kardashian, and Emma Stone to tweet/instagram/facebook you talking points to their 100's of millions of fans? BOOM - now *that* is killer.

I think you totally missed the point. Hold everyone to the same standards or have no standards at all.

Also I get people didn't like McCarthy. But it was a dumb political move which is why only 8 Republicans voted with the entire Democratic caucus to oust the speaker. The DC was absolutely giddy about it, and the 200+ Republicans who didn't vote for it were pissed off. That's never a good situation and if indeed as you say most of the caucus opposed McCarthy, it would have reflected in the vote. It didn't. Oh and bonus, now people are saying Johnson is worse. Sure. Maybe people should take a moment to learn how Congress works before the start dumping on the poor bastard who has to work within its confines.

TikTok has also 'given' us the Libs of TikTok on Twitter/X. Per Wikipedia, it's a handle for various far-right and anti-LGBT social media accounts operated by Chaya Raichik, a former real estate agent. Yesterday's posts included: >Executive director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), an influential Muslim-American civil rights group, celebrated the Oct 7 attack on Israel where Hamas murdered, raped, burned, beheaded, and kidnapped 1,500 people including Americans.

>Hollywood's bias against faith-based entertainment is glaring with The Shift! The film's high audience ratings are overshadowed by deliberately low critic scores. Now, the media's relentless crusade to tear down this film showcases their true agenda. Perverts in Hollywood suppress faith-centric stories! It’s a great movie. Recommend you watch!

>Under Chaya Raichik on X: BREAKING: Refaat al-Ar’eer was killed in a strike today. (Response to a baby killed.)

For now, her name & Libs of TikTok on X are removed from ADL's Glossary of Extremism due to threats.

Domestically, a lot would be different. Starting with the fact that the January 6, 2021 "insurrection" Deep State operation would never have occurred. Because President Trump would not have a rally over the rigged and stolen election.

Also, the nation's federal energy policies would be much different. As Trump had stopped the ridiculous EPA standards and regulations requiring insane targets for fuel economy and emissions that could only be achieved through EVs. President Trump had put a stop to the ridiculous Obama-era plan to jack up those standards to force the EV transition on the auto industry. The Deep State put that back in action once they got rid of President Trump and installed Biden as their puppet pResident.
