"In a locked garage with my Corvette" isn't listed as a secure facility for classified documents... There's also the question of Hunter having access to the garage..

& at the other place they found them Hunter did have access.. as did some Chinese bloke...

Special Counsel appointed by AG Garland.

There's also the issue of his $1M salary from U Penn... which was funded by the Chinese... Fucker has always been compromised.

He appears to have amassed a fair few more of these highly sensitive documents than first thought. But questions of why and how this appears to be coincident with CCP involvement at Pen University is not that difficult to fathom. The Biden mafia have been paid off by the CCP for years now for <unknown> reasons. I have been banging on about it for ages...

What is more surprising is that it is actually getting any air time at all. The mainstream media might try and suggest the Trump documents were somehow worse because, err, because "Trump!" but everybody knows the armed swat teams they sent in to raid Milanias knicker drawers found nothing they could charge Trump for.

No. The most telling part of this debacle is that the Biden administration are letting sleepy Joe actually speak to the press. That is unheard of in this sham Presidency. In other words he is being thrown to the wolves.

The Democratic party are kicking him out! My spidey senses are tingling. This "discovery" was sat on until after the mid term elections. Not mentioned until Pelosi finally was deposed and we also have a new Speaker of the House. :geek:

There is more to this than meets the eye.

Meanwhile, important news on the world stage:

https://www.dailystar.co.uk/news/weird- ... ore-target

Men who own flashy fast cars really have tiny dipsticks, boffins confirm
University eggheads from University College London with nothing better to do for a living have confirmed that men who drive fast cars often have “inadequate genitalia”

A new study by boffins involved tricking men into thinking the size of their member was either more or less impressive than it actually is.

And it discovered those who believed they had an ordinary or smaller gearstick than the norm were more likely to want to splash-out on a fancy sports car.

Researchers at the University College London, who conducted the study, said men “seek to compensate for their disadvantaged primary sexual characteristic”.

The team added demand for sports cars might be “motivated by feelings of genital inadequacy”, but the “luxury automotive industry may be unwilling to acknowledge this link”.

As part of the study, 200 men aged 18 to 74 were told false statements about the size of the average manhood - before being shown images of fast cars and asked how much they wanted to buy them.


One of the statements falsely claimed the average penis size is 7.1 inches when the real average is actually 5.1 inches.

The participants were told these statements were facts, and that the test was to investigate “how people remember facts at the same time as shopping for products”.

Sports cars were more popular among younger men over 30 who felt their penis size was below average.

Those who believed they had a larger penis showed a decreasing interest in luxury vehicles as they get older.

But the younger men remained appreciative of them regardless of their age and suggested a link to their self-esteem.

Biden has served his purpose and can now be disposed of. I doubt these documents were planted, more likely they were "suddenly" discovered at a convenient moment.

My take on it is that there is simply too much evidence of corruption surrounding the Biden mafia to keep ignoring it. Now that the Republicans have the House, they will be able to investigate everything and a very large number of "tinfoil hat conspiracy theories" are about to be revealed as being true all along...

It's a disgusting article which is nothing short of misandry. Imagine if it was aimed at women and aimed at a sexual part of their bodies? There would be uproar and protest from extreme feminist groups. Again, men are the disproportionate target of hate.

'Women with flat chests more likely to buy comfortable shoes' would certainly stir up a lot of complaints.

I'm more concerned by the average being 5.1" , I've never thought of myself as being hung like a horse before, though it may explain why my wife has put up with me for 33 years.
