💻Hunter Biden's laptop saga continues as more details have been revealed by the repairman.
Hunter Biden seemed to be drunk when he appeared in the workshop to leave his laptop, and the FBI was rather indifferent toward its unseemly contents, said the former owner of "The Mac Shop" in Wilmington, Delaware, John Paul Mac Isaac.
"I could definitely tell that he was inebriated," he said, specifying that Hunter entered his shop on April 12, 2019, just before closing time.
After examining documents indicating possible fraud schemes along with the discovery of volumes of homemade pornography, the repairman contacted the FBI, but the latter did not appear to be very interested in the contents of the laptop, according to Mac Isaac.

🇮🇷The Biden administration has issued a sanctions waiver for Iran’s Civil Nuclear Program for the first time since 2020.
The waiver allows other countries and firms to work with Iran’s civil nuclear program without the risk of sanctions from Washington.
"We decided to restore a sanctions waiver to enable third party participation in nuclear non-proliferation and safety projects in Iran due to growing non-proliferation concerns, in particular with respect to increasing stockpiles of enriched uranium in Iran," a State Department official told Sputnik.
After US President Joe Biden took office in January 2021, talks began on a return to the JCPOA, with the eighth round of negotiations beginning in Vienna in late December. Now, with the two sides seemingly closing in on an agreement, the White House has removed some of the sanctions early in an apparent gesture of goodwill.

A compilation of Joe Rogan using the N-word appeared online, as a result, the podcast host has apologised.
"The most regretful and shameful thing that I've ever had to talk about publicly. There's a video that's out that's a compilation of me saying the N-word. It's a video that's made of clips taken out of context of me of 12 years of conversations on my podcast, and it's all smushed together. And it looks f---ing horrible, even to me," Rogan said.

🗣NYC Mayor Eric Adams apologized for a 2019 video in which he boasted of being a better cop than his ‘cracker’ colleagues during his time in the New York City Police Department.
“Every day in the police department, I kicked those crackers’ ass,” the now-mayor Adams says in the video of a private Harlem Business Alliance event in 2019.
Adams claimed the question he was responding to in the clip had used that slur. However, the question cannot be heard in the clip.
“But clearly, it’s a comment that should not be used and I apologize not only to those who heard it but to New Yorkers because they should expect more from me and that was inappropriate,” he added.

A former law clerk for Supreme Court contender Ketanji Brown Jackson edited her Wikipedia page to 'paint her in a more favorable light for a liberal audience' while altering those of her competitors to make them less appealing.
A probe by Politico has alleged that Matteo Godi worked for Jackson between 2019 and 2020. Going by the Wikipedia user name “H2rty,” he edited Jackson’s page “as a matter of course” going back to 2017, and made over 20 edits on the pages of seven judges potentially in competition for SCOTUS between 28 January and 2 February.
Sources revealed that “H2rty’s” edits were broadly aimed at making Jackson look good to liberals, while marring the reputations of South Carolina Federal District Court Judge Michelle Childs and California Supreme Court Judge Leondra Kruger, two other contenders for SCOTUS.

Just saw Mike Pence’s statement on the fact that he had no right to do anything with respect to the Electoral Vote Count, other than being an automatic conveyor belt for the Old Crow Mitch McConnell to get Biden elected President as quickly as possible. Well, the Vice President’s position is not an automatic conveyor if obvious signs of voter fraud or irregularities exist. That’s why the Democrats and RINOs are working feverishly together to change the very law that Mike Pence and his unwitting advisors used on January 6 to say he had no choice. The reason they want it changed is because they now say they don’t want the Vice President to have the right to ensure an honest vote. In other words, I was right and everyone knows it. If there is fraud or large scale irregularities, it would have been appropriate to send those votes back to the legislatures to figure it out. The Dems and RINOs want to take that right away. A great opportunity lost, but not forever, in the meantime our Country is going to hell!
