Thanks for the well wishes.

Won a small one last week. Taking a shot at a large one next week. Problem is getting to be, at my age and physical condition, travel is difficult. Won two airline tickets to anywhere in the US, passed them on to my nephew. Flying is tough for me.
This year, canceled my annual trip to Las Vegas for the World Series of Poker. Probably will never see LV again. Passing on Circuit events in Mississippi and Iowa. I guess old age comes to all of us eventually, if we are lucky. But that doesn't mean it is fun.

Do you ever do online tourneys?

Not anymore. Mostly these days I play in local card rooms. (local meaning DFW metroplex).

DEVON ARCHER TAKEAWAYS

We completed a transcribed interview with Biden associate, Devon Archer.

Archer’s testimony confirms Joe Biden lied to the American people when he said he had no knowledge about his son’s business dealings and was not involved.

Critical takeaways ↓
4:21 PM · Jul 31, 2023

Quote: •When Joe Biden was Vice President of the United States, he joined Hunter Biden’s dinners with his foreign business associates in person or by speakerphone over 20 times.
•Devon Archer testified that the value of adding Hunter Biden to Burisma’s board was “the brand” and confirmed that then-Vice President Joe Biden was “the brand” and that the 20 phone calls were to sell “the brand.”
•Devon Archer admitted that “Burisma would have gone out of business if ‘the brand’ had not been attached to it.” Because of the Bidens’ involvement, people would have been intimidated to mess with Burisma legally.
•In December 2015, Mykola Zlochevsky, the owner of Burisma, and Vadym Pozharski, an executive of Burisma, placed constant pressure on Hunter Biden to get help from D.C. regarding the Ukrainian prosecutor, Viktor Shokin. Shokin was investigating Burisma for corruption.
•Hunter Biden, along with Zlochevsky and Pozharski, “called D.C.” to discuss the matter. Biden, Zlochevsky, and Pozharski stepped away to make the call. This raises concerns that Hunter Biden was in violation of the Foreign Agents Registration Act.
•Joe Biden was dialed into a dinner in Paris with a French energy company and in China with Jonathan Li, the CEO of BHR. Then-VP Biden also had coffee with Li in Beijing and even wrote a letter of recommendation for college for Li’s daughter.
•Archer confirmed Joe Biden was referred to as “my guy” by Hunter Biden.
•In 2014, then-VP Biden attended a business dinner with Hunter & his associates at Café Milano in D.C. Elena Baturina, a Russian oligarch who is the widow of the former mayor of Moscow, was an attendee. Notably, the Biden Admin’s public sanctions do not contain Baturina.

but the Left MSM says they talked about the price of doughnuts and coffee! Only Stupid People believe the Left and the MSM these days...

About the same as coffee, I suspect.

Is Vagisil petroleum based?

Shorter list would be, what has dropped in price since 1/20/21? Only thing I can think of is bail.

But, not his fault. He has no effect on economic forces - he is at the mercy of forces beyond his control. Maybe he should take refuge in his basement...again.

Not me. I have been happily single since1984. Don't even identify as a woman, whatever that is. Nobody seems to know. But as a commodity used by some, I think it quite likely the price has risen in the last 30 months. Not the fault of the Spender-in-Chief, of course.

So this is how a whaddaboout works - in a thread about Hunter Biden criminal charges, insert a reference to Trump indictments.

Classic.

Lolololol - that’s a funny one.

I just picked the closest, somewhat topical thread. Can move this if you want. There is no longer a running Trump thread.

Quote:“I want to talk about the damning evidence of Joe Biden‘s role in his family‘s business schemes in Romania. While Joe Biden was vice president, he was directly involved in the United States policy and anticorruption efforts in Romania. That’s a fact!”

“On May 21, 2014, the then-Vice President Biden delivered an anticorruption speech in Romania. Right? On September 28, 2015, the Romanian president visited with then-Vice President Biden at the White House to discuss anticorruption efforts.”

“Gabriel Popoviciu, a corrupt Romanian oligarch in the subject of a criminal probe—he’s the subject of a criminal probe and prosecution for corruption and bribery in Romania. This committee has reviewed transactions showing that the Biden family received money from a foreign company run by this Russian oligarch corrupt Gabriel Popoviciu.”

“Five weeks after the Romanian president visited with by Vice President Biden, Popoviciu begins paying Hunter Biden and his associates Rob Walker through his company, Bladon Enterprises. The money from Bladen Enterprises is deposited directly into Robinson Walker LLC. Now, this LLC is directly operated by Hunter‘s known business partner, Rob Walker. ”

“In November 2015, and again in March. 2016, Hunter Biden, who is not registered as a foreign agent under FARA, meets with the US ambassador to Romania. Red flag!”

“Then coincidentally over $1 million flows to the Bidens.”

"I’m not much for coincidences; I don’t think the American people are either.”

“Let’s run through the numbers together.”

“Between November 2015 and May 2017, Bladon Enterprises deposited over $3 million into Robinson Walker’s LLC business account. But then, the Biden family accounts received more than $1 million from Robinson Walker’s accounts after these deposits were made. Ironically, 16 of those 17 payments occurred while Joe Biden was vice president. Now, I think most Americans would find it suspicious that, ironically, these payments ended shortly after Joe Biden left office. Another coincidence.”

Quote: Special Counsel David Weiss files a scathing rejection of Hunter Biden’s request to subpoena Donald Trump and Bill Barr to prove he is being unfairly prosecuted on gun charges.
“In seeking discovery for a claim of selective prosecution, defendant fails to identify even one similarly situated individual who was not prosecuted for similar conduct….
“He also identifies no constitutionally protected class to which he belongs.”
"Not only does defendant’s motion fail to identify any actual evidence of bias, vindictiveness, or discriminatory intent on the Special Counsel’s part, his arguments ignore an inconvenient truth: No charges were brought against defendant during the prior administration when the subpoena recipients actually held office in the Executive Branch," Weiss wrote. pic.twitter.com/DtI1Udv3An
