Hunter Biden was in
Batesville, Arkansas today trying to get his $20,000 a month child support
reduced and preventing his child Navy Lord Roberts from having as her surname “Biden”
and wisely when exiting the court room answered no questions from the press (if
the judge grants the surname request will Biden finally acknowledge that he has
7 grandchildren not just 6?). Ryan Webb, a white, Red councilman in Delaware
County is causing a furor and uproar in the TG community by declaring he is coming
out as a transgender of color with some TG’s blasting him that TG’s don’t act
that way and others demanding his execution for demeaning the TG community. 2
ESPN commentators were tossing the race card that the rule changes on roughing
the quarter back were racist to protect slower “white quarterbacks” pointing
out that Patrick Mahone is the face of the NFL quarterback position ignoring
the fact that Mahone’s mother is white and was the person who raised Patrick after
she divorced Mahone’s father. The alarm over the potential adverse effect of AI
continues to grow as the “Founder of AI” Geoffrey Hinton announced that he was
quitting Google to warn of the danger of AI and Elon Musk called for a
moratorium on the development of AI until its effects on human society can be
assessed. True to its habit of “see no evil” when it comes illegal aliens
entering this nation, the White House remained silent on the issue of the

illegal alien who had once been deported in 2016.

Famous Quotes on Events and Issues:
Jacob S. Coxey’s speech at
the Capitol which was prevented by his arrest on May 1, 1894: We stand here to remind Congress of its
promise of returning prosperity should the Sherman act be repealed. We stand
here to declare by our march of over 400 miles through difficulties and
distress, a march unstained by even the slightest act which would bring the blush
of shame to any, that we are law-abiding citizens, and as men our actions speak
louder than words We are here to petition for legislation which will furnish
employment for every man able and willing to work; for legislation which will
bring universal prosperity and emancipate our beloved country from financial
bondage to the descendants of King George. We have come to the only source
which is competent to aid the people in their day of dire distress. We are here
to tell our Representatives, who hold their seats by grace of our ballots, that
the struggle for existence has become too fierce and relentless. We come and
throw up our defenseless hands, and say, help, or we and our loved ones must
perish. We are engaged in a bitter and cruel war with the enemies of all
mankind—a war with hunger, wretchedness, and despair, and we ask Congress to
heed our petitions and issue for the nation’s good a sufficient volume of the
same kind of money which carried the country through one awful war and saved
the life of the nation.
