Russia stole Hunter Biden's email? Who cares!

-

 CBS news recently repeated what they admitted is speculation - that the Hunter Biden email information being published in the NY Post was originally stolen by Russia in a "hack and dump" operation (see link below for details).

To which I respond - who cares?  

The issue should be less about where the information came from and more about is it accurate.  The origin of the emails should not be the question, if they are Hunter's emails then the media should be asking:

  • Is it true that Joe Biden's son was engaged in selling to foreign companies or foreign governments access to Joe Biden when he was Vice President of the United States?  And specifically selling the access to foreign companies or governments who would directly benefit because Joe Biden was overseeing their country for the Obama Administration, e.g. Burisma and the Ukraine.  
  • And just as importantly, is Hunter Biden doing the same thing now that Joe Biden is the Democrat nominee for President?
  • Even if he's not still selling that access, is Hunter Biden somehow compromised such that a President Biden could be subject to blackmail, e.g. having to not implement a policy that is good for America to prevent a foreign company or country from revealing information that would result in criminal prosecution of his son.
If CBS were suggesting the emails came from Russia and were false and just were part of a disinformation campaign by the Russians, that would be more interesting.  But that' not what CBS was suggesting.  They were suggesting the emails are legitimate but they come from an unsavory source.

But that's clearly not a typical journalistic standard because if it was then the NY Times' story about President Trump's taxes would have been discounted by CBS on the grounds that the tax information was clearly obtained illegally by someone.

The Biden Legacy

-
This week President Biden gave a speech reviewing his legacy in the White House.  Biden talked about the good he's done.  I have a different perspective, I see the deaths and damage that occurred in the last four years. Covid - more people died of Covid in 2021, when Biden was in office, than died in 2020, when Trump was in office.*  In 2020, the disease was new and testing was ramping up, treatment protocols were being developed, medical supplies like ventilators were in short supply, and multiple Democrat run States put in place nursing home rules that led to significant numbers of deaths.  In 2021, those nursing home rules were no longer in place, multiple vaccines were available, testing and supply issues had been overcome.  Despite those advantages, more people died of Covid in President Biden's first year in office. The Border - Laken Riley, Rebecca Morin, Jeremy Poou Caceres (a 2 year old boy), Rachel Morin, Melissa Powell and her son Riordan Powell, Ai...

H-1B Visas - theory versus reality

-
H-1B Visas are a good idea in theory.  People around the world want to come to the United States to work and live.  Why not invite the best and brightest.  Bring top talent to the US to help our businesses, industry and military remain the top in the world. Then there is that pesky thing called reality.  I've worked for small companies with less than 250 employees and companies with hundreds of thousands of employees, and companies in between.  I've seen the reality I'm describing. I'm sure there are some brilliant researchers and developers who have come to the US under this program.  But they are the exception.  The norm is that companies don't bring over the best and the brightest.  They bring over cheap labor.  Companies, seeking to get a leg up on opponents by offering customers lower prices, import labor who will work at a fraction of the cost of US residents doing the same jobs. If a person from Country X is doing the same job an Ameri...

The Biden Administration blew it on Covid

-
 It's about a year now since Joe Biden was sworn in as President and we can see the Biden Administration has handled the Coronavirus situation horribly.  The Administration had a fantastic opportunity to declare victory early in 2021 and put this behind us.  But they chose not to do that.  The Biden Administration dropped the ball on pursuing the things America needs to put Covid in the rear view mirror while offering a message of fear and dictatorial mandates, and wedding themselves to a bureaucrat who declared that he is the science.  The result was more Covid 19 deaths in 2021 than in 2020, strong disagreement and a loss of public confidence in the measures promoted by the Biden Administration, none of which is good for America. But it didn't have to be this way.  The Biden Administration took office with three different vaccines available to issue to the public and almost 1 million people getting the jab every day.  Shortly after taking office, Con...
