  • I know that Hunter Biden’s laptop—the one 51 intelligence officials, including several former directors of the Central Intelligence Agency, argued was a fictitious story that “has all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation”—turned out to be very true, and that though it raised very real allegations about the then-vice president’s involvement in his son’s lucrative business dealings with Ukrainian oligarchs, no serious investigation ever targeted Joe Biden.

    I know that earlier this year Paul Pelosi, Nancy Pelosi’s husband, sold 2,000 shares of Visa, worth between $500,000 and $1 million, just weeks before the credit card behemoth was hit with federal antitrust charges. Paul seems to be a very lucky guy, because last November, he purchased call options in Nvidia and made a cool $4 million in one transaction, or about 20 times his wife’s annual salary as a public servant.

    I can go on like this for a very long time. Bill and Hillary Clinton became wildly wealthy by offering high level access to the U.S. government to every corrupt uranium trader on the planet. Barack Obama, the most politically active retired president in U.S. history is the proud owner of a stately portfolio of uber-luxury properties around the country. Who knows what a raid on those properties might turn up? The iron-clad ties between the NGO-industrial complex and the Democratic Party are why, just earlier this week, we saw Democratic vice presidential hopeful Tim Walz huddling with Alex Soros, the son of billionaire George Soros, whose extensive philanthropy has been instrumental in electing radically progressive law enforcement officials across the nation. Yet no one ever investigates how these links allow both radical billionaires and the Democratic Party to gut limits on political expenditures.

    So should we care about the allegations against Adams if they turn out to be true? In theory, sure!














  • People agree that Alien and Aliens are among the best sci-fi horror movies ever made. I think what those two movies capture (amongst other) is that they are about survival and triumph of human spirit overcoming isolation and hostility of space. Personally I think the 90s kitsch offshoot of this franchise, whether it the games, comics, toys, kinda capture the gist of it. In all, all you need is a tough-as-nail competent protagonist to cheer on, who is stuck in isolated setting and had to fight Xenomorph(s) against all odds. I personally couldn’t care less about the black goo and Wayland Enterprise lore as franchise ™. It doesn’t help that Prometheus and Covenant have incompetent doofus crew. Romulus doofus crew can somewhat be justified since they are teenagers, but at that point I already hate everything that has to do with the black goo.
