      So you’re implying it doesn’t get crowded at Pennsylvania Hospital Emergency Department Sundays between 3:55 p.m. and 11:20 p.m.?

        It’s so refreshing and gratifying to read the names of the Commissioner, Philadelphia Department of Public Health Dr. Palak Raval-Nelson and Medical Director, Philadelphia Department of Public Health Immunization Program Dr. Mayssa Abuali instead of the asshole Kennedy and all the others in this administration, legislature and courts who feel that people need to be treated worse than a used tissue.

        No, I’m not implying anything; I’m telling you what I’ve seen. I would not want to be in a crowded room with a highly contagious virus in the air but to some people that should be left to “personal choice.”

    So devil’s advocate. Why exactly is it Hunter’s hard drive and not Hunter’s laptop?

    I ask as someone who has read all of the articles here, multiple times, about anything involving Hunter.

    And as someone who believes that there was most likely a conspiracy, a theft, and unauthorized access to Hunter’s iCloud.

    And as someone who believes that Israel had a large role in such a theft and transfer to Trump folks. And that would also go towards explaining the lackluster response by the Bidens, the deep state, and the mainstream media. In that gap, the right wing was free to run amok with whatever narrative they wanted, without pushback, and the narrative was often false.

      I haven’t before heard of “Israel had a large role in such a theft and transfer to Trump folks.”
      Where are you getting that from?
      And as far as “lackluster response by the Bidens”, it’s a story about a troubled family member, who I would believe the family is more interested in family, empathy, peace and harmony than dealing with BS.

        Israel’s role in the theft is a conclusion that I arrived at from all of my research.

        As far as I know, I am the only person making that claim.

        If I am correct – if -based on only publicly available information, then I assume the intelligence community with all kinds of analysts and information collection would have found this out years ago.

        Hunter being too troubled to respond is one narrative to believe.

        But keep in mind he became sober in 2019 shortly after the alleged theft. He didn’t respond when everything became public in 2020.

        He wasn’t too troubled to do that CBS interview in 2021 saying “it could be the Russians”. He wasn’t too troubled to write his book.

        And he finally responded to Mac Isaac in March 2023, which the judge ruled too late. Coincidentally, March 2023 is the same time Lev Parnas and MSNBC began their information operation to make left wingers think Russia was responsible for the theft of Hunter’s data/laptop.

        And his dad is a politician who by not dealing with this BS let it destroy his presidency and 2024 election.

          I am beginning to wonder if you are the same entity who was here throughout all of the Hunter Biden debacle, because that person would wholly understand that in a non-MAGA-ified US democracy, POTUS takes a hands-off approach to the operations of the DOJ to ensure impartiality, and POTUS cannot intervene in any investigation related to family or friends because of a conflict of interest, an impeachable abuse of power. That threat of impeachment by a GOP-majority Congress hung over the Biden presidency.

          But instead whoever is at the keyboard identifying as zscoreUSA today has forgotten all of this dynamic, forgetting also that the fucking US corporate-owned media failed to point this out with any regularity — failed to point it out at all, instead parroting Russian talking points without any pushback.

          Bring more than your conspiracy theories. You could be making a far better case than “I did my research.”

          Yes, Same person here.

          I came to believe this about Israel’s involvement in September 2023, then kept my mouth shut about that until I think after the election.

          From the get go I think the Bidens should have pushed back more once the laptop became public. Biden even lied during the 2020 debate, twisting the words from the 51 intelligence officials into a more definitive statement trying to pin the laptop on the Russians.

          And from my view that Israel was involved, and that he has known that, influences how I view his Gaza policy and getting pushed around by Netanyahu and which did impact the election. It was frustrating to watch this play out.

          The narratives about the laptop impacted regular people that I spoke to. Just regular interactions and conversations. They would connect Hunter and millions and the Biden family and the rising prices over the past few years.

        Thanks for the response to my primary question above.

        Is there a link to “Marcy’s helpful summary”? I can’t click on anything.

        The second link is to Thomas Fine’s chart, which though demonstrative, I don’t think answers my question.

        Btw, Thomas harping on Mac Isaac’s story not adding up was one of the things that inspired me to pursue this research topic.

          You seem to have missed Rayne’s comment, which tends to prove her point. If you’d read all the material here, as you claim, you could have written Peterr’s first paragraph yourself. Plus, the govt failed, at least in court, to verify and document the data or its provenance on any of those hard drives.

          So, back to Rayne’s question….

          Sigh

          are you saying that because the govt failed in court “to verify and document the data or its provenance on any of those hard drives” is hard proof that Hunter never owned that particular laptop?

    I’ve been posting on here about the 10 year treasury interest rate freaking out with an increase of approximately 12.5% this week but after reading https://apnews.com/article/treasurys-bond-market-yield-tariff-46b4818710f01b8cc93fd002081167b0, I realize that I am too panicked as we have “like, really smart, a very stable genius” running the US. A guy who’s casinos debt probably had an interest rate closer to 100% than 0%.
    So I’m even more confident of where interest rates are going next week when in that AP story I read

    Speaking to reporters on Air Force One Friday night, Trump said “The bond market’s going good. It had a little moment, but I solved that problem very quickly. I’M VERY GOOD AT THIS.”

    My capitalization of “I’M VERY GOOD AT THIS.”
    It reminds me of the part in The Big Short re-2008, the real estate agent says to Mark Baum: “The market is in an itsy-bitsy little gully right now.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MesrrYyuoa4
    And another confidence booster, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UXixaoKYfm4, “troubled” Watters on Fox starts off about the Cabinet Meeting this week, “Season 2 of the Apprentice White House edition is off to a hot start, Trump gathered the contestants…”
    HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

      Was The Big Short the one where the one trader said something like “Short everything he is buying”.??
      That might apply here, also.

    What awesome headlines to wake up to:

    *Trump DoJ lobbies for liar Alexander Smirnov to be released from prison pending appeal
    * Immigrants to be debanked as a result of being declared dead so they self-deport
    * Lying disgraced Milwaukee cop responsible for gay Venezuelan make-up artist being wrongly deported to El Salvador
    *Trump envoy to push for ‘Berlin Wall’ type solution for Ukraine

    I’m going back to bed.
