The establishment media gave up on President Joe Biden a long time ago. Somehow, though, it remains surprising when establishment media figures hold the president accountable after spending years protecting him from meaningful scrutiny. For instance, Monday on "CNN This Morning," host Kasie Hunt showed seven different clips of Biden...

CNN conservative political commentator Scott Jennings rightly tore into President Joe Biden's decision to issue a blanket pardon on Sunday for his son Hunter Biden's crimes, both those he has been convicted of or could be convicted of in the future. Biden's pardon covers the period from Jan. 1, 2014...

As a parent of a 9-year-old who rides, having the proper gear – like these Fly Racing Youth Maverik Boots – is essential for his safety and my sanity. Watching him whiz around on his Volcon Kids Moto Two or Greenger x Honda CRF-E2 electric dirtbikes, I have the normal concerns any parent would have for their child’s safety. August loves riding his bikes but is not a fan of gearing up. Understandable for a kid who is used to skateboarding barefoot in shorts around the neighborhood. However, the non-negotiable rule is: If he wants to ride, he has to wear all the gear. Once August gets his gear on, he struts around the garage like a superhero and has a big smile on his face. I explain to him that the bulky gear allows him to ride faster and push the envelope, and if he takes a tumble the gear will protect him. The Fly Racing Youth Maverik Boots are great for August. They provide excellent protection with quality leather and plastic construction as well as inner ankle protection, an articulate rear ankle, 3D-molded plastic shifter and shin protection, and a metal toe guard. The non-lug sole provides good traction when he has one foot down at a stop. The graphics look sharp and caught his little brother’s eye, sparking a tinge of jealousy in him. (I assured little brother Wolfgang that he will inherit the boots when he’s big enough.) The Maverik’s straps and buckles are quite sturdy. The straps are adjustable in length, but the buckles are non-adjustable, fixed in place with screws. The boots are initially stiff, which is great for safety but can be difficult for a 9-year-old to get the needed leverage to close the buckles. That’s when Dad gets to play valet and finish buckling up the boots. Gear up completed, time to go riding! There’s a field near our house with a large sandpit that offers good space for riding. August’s electric bikes are silent, so they don’t bother the neighbors. August took off out the driveway and headed over with me following on my bicycle. Once at the field, August was bombing laps. At one point, he was attempting a tight, low speed turn (the bane of new riders) and went down. Of course, the bike landed on his leg and pinned him to the ground. No better example of why wearing all the gear is essential. The Maverik boots protected his leg from the bike’s footpeg, and in true Dad fashion, I said “See! That’s why you wear the gear!” as I picked up the bike and he stood up. After the mishap, August jumped back on the bike and tore off down the field no worse for wear. The stiffness of the boots gave August confidence to start riding standing up and attacking more difficult terrain like a giant sand pit. On the pegs, “throttle” pinned, he charged into the pit and flew out the other side with a big grin. I suggested that he practice putting a foot out when making turns, and he tried it out. The smooth sole made it easy for his boot to glide over the grass. The Fly Racing Maverik boot is an excellent choice for young riders, and August recommends them! They are available in Black, Black/Red (shown), and Black/Pink in youth sizes 1-6 for $129.95.

Who says you can’t still set records when you lose in a landslide? Kamala Harris isn’t letting that stop her, she just achieved a feat not seen since 1932! But before we get to that, have you noticed people have been generally happier since November 5? I mean out in public, at stores, you name it….there’s just a lighter, happier tone in the air.  Have you noticed? Of course I think most of that is thanks to the optimism for the incoming Trump Administration….but perhaps an overlooked aspect is the fact we haven’t had to see much of Kamala Harris, Joe Biden, Tim Walz, and the whole crew. I honestly believe having the “Party of Joy” jammed down our throats on a weekly basis (no pun intended, Kamala) wore on us more than we all realized. Now that black cloud is gone and I’m back to maybe covering Kamala Harris once a week or less, which seems like just about the right ratio. Zero would be nice, but then I wouldn’t be able to bring you this report… Kamala Harris just became the first President since Herbert Hoover in 1932 to not flip a SINGLE county nationwide: BREAKING: Kamala Harris first candidate since 1932 to not flip a single county. — Leading Report (@LeadingReport) December 2, 2024 Kamala Harris is the 1st candidate since Herbert Hoover 1932 who did not flip a *SINGLE* county pic.twitter.com/nqWds9ms8x — End Wokeness (@EndWokeness) December 2, 2024 Here’s a zoomed in look: This map originated from Tin Foil Matt over on Substack who had more to say here: Is it just an odd trivia tidbit? I came across an interesting fact about the 2024 election—while former President Donald Trump won 83 counties that had voted for President Joe Biden in the prior election, Vice President Kamala Harris only flipped… zero. Not a single one. Trump was able to hold onto every county that he won in 2020, all 2,497 of the more than 3,100 counties across the country. And then he went on to win an additional 83 counties while barely clinging to 50% of the vote. Lots of red, some blue. A little purple. But where’s the yellow? To not have that fourth color is a striking anomaly. Different regions of the U.S. and diverse social or ethnic groups align with presidential candidates in distinct ways. A candidate’s articulation of values and positions on key issues—especially in contrast to rivals or previous party nominees—can significantly influence voting patterns across counties, regions, or entire states. Even within the same party, no two candidates are identical. As a result, it is expected that some counties may shift or change party allegiance when a new candidate emerges. In the 2016 election (results pictured), some counties flipped Democratic, while some other counties flipped Republican. The majority of voters in those counties didn’t exhibit consistent party loyalty; instead, their voting behavior was influenced by the usual variety of factors: candidates’ individual platforms, current events, economic conditions, or shifts in social and cultural dynamics. These external influences regularly cause some counties to swing or change party allegiance with each new candidate. Even in the rare case of a rematch between the same two candidates, changing factors—like economic conditions or the incumbent’s perceived competency—can shift voter behavior differently in each county. What benefits one county may not in another, as voter preferences are shaped by complex local and national dynamics. This should make it inevitable that some counties will swing from Trump in 2020 to Harris in 2024, reflecting the evolving nature of voter decisions. That’s doubly true with how divisive Trump is on so many issues, from democracy itself to reproductive rights, and with the unprecedented level of support Harris received from Trump’s former staffers and other prominent Republican figures. It also seems highly implausible that Americans across the nation would vote with such remarkable consistency between the 2020 Trump vs. Joe Biden race and the 2024 Trump vs. Harris election, given that Biden and Harris differ significantly in age, gender, ethnicity, background, and birthplace. It seems safe to assume such stark contrasts between the Democratic candidates would influence voter behavior and lead to shifts in electoral outcomes. But they didn’t. There wasn’t a single place in the country, from sea to shining sea, where Harris’ strengths or Trump’s weaknesses caused a county’s electorate to flip-flop from red to blue. What’s really astonishing about this report from Tin Foil Matt is that he describes himself as being on the Left — he’s definitely not MAGA — yet he reported honestly about the massive Kamala Harris failure here: I am not a professional journalist. Nor do I have any special insider information. Here’s what I do have: The relatively rare ability to see the big picture while still paying attention to the important details. A professional background in a field that requires compiling a lot of information into compelling stories. Left of center political views. A tin foil hat. This one’s important. Combine these with rabid news consumption about U.S. politics and international events, and I notice patterns, connections, and possibilities others miss. I sounded the alarm about COVID-19 when it was still 2019. I also knew about January 6 months in advance. I’ve correctly guessed the password to Donald Trump’s Twitter account in 2021 (it was “RiggedElection2020”). And I predicted a blowout electoral win for Kamala Harris in 2024. It’s this last one that caused me to create this substack, because it led me to uncover the truth—that Donald Trump conspired to steal the election and America’s future.

Hunter Biden’s former landlord, Shaun Maguire, is speaking out after Joe Biden issued his son a full pardon last night. In an X post, Maguire revealed that Hunter Biden owes him and his family a whopping $300K in back pay rent after failing to pay him while renting an apartment in Venice, CA from 2019-2020. He asked if that is also pardoned now… Here’s what Sean Maguire said: So what happens to the $300k+ in back pay rent that Hunter Biden owes my family from 2019-2020? Is that pardoned now? Thanks Joe (This is a true story) — Shaun Maguire (@shaunmmaguire) December 2, 2024 Maguire also added a disgusting detail, calling Hunter Biden a “absolute sh*t bag” who tried to pay him in art made from his own poop… Yup. True story. Hunter was our tenant in Venice, CA. Didn’t pay rent for over a year. Tried to pay w/ art made from his own feces. Absolute shit bag. — Shaun Maguire (@shaunmmaguire) December 2, 2024 Maguire clarified that Hunter attempted to pay by offering him a prized book of feces art… Indeed, he tried to pay w/ a book of art made from his own feces. But those aren’t worth anything except when money laundering. — Shaun Maguire (@shaunmmaguire) December 2, 2024 What a crappy situation (sorry, I couldn’t help myself.) The Post Millennial reported: A venture capitalist and claimed former landlord to Hunter Biden has accused the now-pardoned president’s son of failing to pay some $300,000 in rent over the course of a year. The landlord revealed that Hunter then tried to pay the rent with artwork made from his own feces. Shaun Maguire, a partner at the venture capital firm Sequoia Capital, posted on X after the president pardoned his son Hunter, “So what happens to the $300k+ in back pay rent that Hunter Biden owes my family from 2019-2020?” Folks on X are urging Sean Maguire to drop the full story:   Umm…we feel like you have to tell this story pic.twitter.com/paw1yEJ4A8 — Autism Capital (@AutismCapital) December 2, 2024 Umm…we feel like you have to tell this story pic.twitter.com/paw1yEJ4A8 — Autism Capital (@AutismCapital) December 2, 2024 Other X users have some practical advice: The pardon only pertains to federal crimes. Failure to pay rent is either a state or local complaint, and you should still move forward with prosecuting any deadbeat renters. — Firesign (@firesign58) December 2, 2024 The pardon only pertains to federal crimes. Failure to pay rent is either a state or local complaint, and you should still move forward with prosecuting any deadbeat renters. — Firesign (@firesign58) December 2, 2024 Here’s the best one of all: You should’ve at least taken one of the paintings he made with his own poop you might’ve been able to sell it to Rob Reiner or Robert De Niro. — Keith Ainsworth (@AinsworthKeith) December 2, 2024
