BREAKING: Classified Docs Found at Biden Think Tank, FBI Investigation Underway

Think he'll get the Trump treatment? No way, unless this is how they get him out of the way so he won't run for office. Of course, this was hysterical to me: 

The documents were found in a folder in a box amongst unclassified papers, sources say. It is not currently known what level of classification the documents had, but according to the sources, there were “nuclear secrets.”

HA! Given that is what they called Trump's supposedly secret docs, and given that Biden's lawyers knew this material was classified on November 2, I have no doubt part of the reason they pulled their stunt on Trump was so Biden's misstep could be swept under the rug as "no big deal."

When asked for his opinion on the raid of Mar-a-Lago and a photo of the allegedly classified documents found there, Biden wondered, “How that could possibly happen — how anyone could be that irresponsible?”
“Totally irresponsible,” he said at the time.
I can’t wait to hear the White House spin on this.

Now There’s PROOF: The White House Was Behind Facebook’s COVID-19 Censorship

Why hasn't anyone filed any lawsuits against the government? Why hasn't the government or anyone in it paid in any way for these basic violations of the first amendment?

European Ministers Say Musk Agreed to Censorship Demands for Twitter

Musk has already said that he would block things that are already illegal, such as child porn. That doesn't bother me. But the minister specifically mentioned "the fight against disinformation," and that bothers me bigly.

"Unlike Trump, Biden is cooperating fully."  Already heard it.

Meanwhile, in my old stomping grounds:

At least 17 people have died in clashes between supporters of the former president and security forces in south-eastern Peru, officials say.

That's in one day. 

This approaches low-intensity-war levels of casualties.  Wow.

Gosh, what's the word for that political system in which powerful corporations align with the regime in power to enforce a single political narrative?

I eagerly await Joe Biden's ruminations on firearms tactics employed by the Salvation Army.  

Do they do the "shoot 'em in the leg!" thing, or perhaps the firing a shotgun through a closed door thing?

No one is talking about this or about the actions of Brazilians after their own stolen election. Who do you consider the best source for information on Peru's situation?

Well. Peruvian news sources like El Comercio, but of course, they're in Spanish.  El Pais (from Spain) tends to have a pretty good (if left-biased) roundup of news from Latin America, and I believe they have an English edition.

Note how Fox even writes this, though: he "mixed up his words," when it's clear he simply doesn't have a clue what is going on.

Glad you are feeling better.

There should be a literary pub where the gesture indicating you want a beer is a stein beck.

Bad day for start up launch systems.

ABL failed; Rocket aiming to launch satellites explodes off Alaska’s coast

Virgin Space Failed: U.K.'s highly touted space launch fails to reach orbit due to an 'anomaly'

We originally planned to go on ABL for our proto sats, but their engine issue back in the August pushed us to the ULA Vulcan.

May it launch well and the sattelites prosper
