Barr also had no valid reason to release information about the investigation into Hunter Biden. And those condemning Barr for remaining mum while the press buried the story that would have buried Biden fail to see that they are demanding of Barr what they condemned in the Obama-Biden administration.

The rule of law must not bend to the benefit of anyone. Barr knows this, and has withstood serial attempts to force his ouster, either temporarily via recusal or permanently by calls for his resignation or impeachment. Barr is neither coward nor has moderated his response, and for that he deserves our respect.

CloudReady could be the perfect answer for those continuing to stick with, say, Windows 7 PCs – despite Microsoft having stopped delivering free patches since January 15. Importantly, CloudReady still gets patches and fixes just like Chrome OS, served up every six weeks. //

The Home edition is free, does not integrate with Google Admin Console and lacks technical support. The education subscription costs $20 per year per device with one year of technical support, while the enterprise option costs $49 per year per device. The paid-for options include one year of technical support. //

There are two notable catches with switching to CloudReady. After installing it, there's no returning to Windows, so users should make a backup of their files.

Also, after transitioning, accessing a local drive becomes difficult because this Chrome-OS variant relies almost entirely on Google Drive for storage.

The primary purpose of attaching wingtips to a plane is to cut down on operating costs. Wingtips reduce vortex drag caused by the convergence of high-pressure and low-pressure air at the tip of its wings. As vortices form at the wing’s edge, they create a drag force that significantly slows the aircraft down. This drag can force a plane to burn a lot more fuel than it needs, while an aircraft’s operating range is also shortened as a result. //

Winglets come in a variety of shapes and sizes depending on the aircraft. The Airbus A350 uses a blended winglet design, much like the manufacturer’s ‘sharklets’ fitted to the A320. The design involves an upward curve at the tip of the wing, creating a smoother curve than an angular design. According to Aviation Partners, one of the founders of the technology, the design,

“… has a large radius and is designed with a smooth chord variation in the transition area where the wing joins the winglet. This allows optimum aerodynamic loading and avoids vortex concentrations that produce drag.” //

Curved wingtips can offer a higher level of wing flex, allowing it to adapt to changing air pressure levels. According to Boeing, the curved wings on the 787 “automatically adjust upward and downward to continually optimize the camber for maximum efficiency.”

“What is so disconcerting about this particular situation is that the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence really should have been spending a lot of time on this threat. That’s kind of what they exist for,” Hemingway said. “But every time in the previous years that Devin Nunes or Republicans tried to focus on China, the hearings were hijacked by Democrats, whether it was Swalwell or [Rep. Adam] Schiff, to talk about Russia and the Russia collusion hoax.”

Biden only won 17% of the counties Obama won. I’m supposed to believe a population explosion occurred only in those areas? It will be interesting what the 2020 census says. Biden not only did worse in every city than Obama but worse than Clinton. Her numbers were worse than Obama. The only cities that Biden did better than Obama was in the swing states where it counted. These area are overwhelming black voters. I would like to know who the black voter was that wasn’t excited to vote for the first black President but decided that a white 78 year old man who has been in politics for 49 years and authored the crime bill that put their family members and friends in jail motivated them to vote. I wish the media would find these black voters and interview them. I’m curious for an answer. Also Biden received less than 90% of the black vote making it nearly impossible for a Democrat to win. He received less than 60% of the Hispanic vote making it implausible to win in NV, NM and AZ. Since the 1800’s, no President who won FL and OH lost the election sans JFK. JFK’s presidential win has long had alleged corruption and fraud, especially in Chicago under Mayor Daley. Entire news stories and books have been written about it. Why were there over 480,000 votes for Biden and no down ballot votes in the swing states? There were 10’s of thousands in GA where the Senate race was very important and critical to who will control the Senate. They will be critical to passing legislation for Biden’s agenda. Why not vote for the Democrat Senators and Representatives to make sure Biden can get things done? Yet Trump only had 538 ballots in GA that were Trump only. Were the Democrat voters too ignorant to realize that they could be handing control to the Republicans in Congress and thereby stonewalling Biden’s agenda? It’s a fair question to ask since liberals have for the past 4 years called Trump voters stupid.

After their party’s presidential nominee lost in the Electoral College, some House members lined up to object to and challenge the results during the Jan. 6 joint session of Congress to count the electoral votes.

House Democrats made 11 objections. In each case, then-outgoing Vice President Joe Biden—presiding over the session in his role as Senate president—asked if the objection had a Senate sponsor.

Then-House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said she didn’t encourage the objection, but would “support” the objections from her caucus. Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif., demanded a senator join the challenge against certifying the results.

With no senators backing the objections, members of Congress counted the votes, and Biden said, “It’s over,” gaveling the official end of the 2016 election with a victory, giving it to President Donald Trump.

Everyone should be able to agree that we don’t need more racism in America. On that basis alone, this proposal should be dead on arrival in Congress.

Whether Biden seems actively pro-China, or merely weak on the communist country, his lack of position on China foreshadows a number of plausible crises.

While many are not willing to admit it, the Texas election lawsuit was the last real chance that President Donald Trump had to stall the official declaration of Joe Biden as the next President of the United States.

The lawsuit itself was doomed to fail for multiple Constitutional reasons, but perhaps the biggest flaw in it is that it was a group of outside states seeking to overturn election results in a handful of other states based on the fact that those states changed the rules in the middle of those elections going on. Critics of the lawsuit were right in saying that would be a dangerous precedent because that opens the door for ultra-progressive states to try and use the courts to force their values on conservative states.

But the idea behind the lawsuit was the correct one. States should not be allowed to change the rules in the middle of the game, and if there is one fight that needs to continue beyond this election, it is a fight to ensure that our elections systems are as trustworthy as possible and that the policies and procedures in place to run an election within a state are as fair to the voters as possible. //

This is not about overturning the election, mind you. Not at this point. There does not seem to be a legal avenue anymore to do that, and many of the legal avenues conservatives were led to believe existed were badly mishandled by the President’s lawyers and his allies. Instead, this needs to be about overturning the idea that states are allowed to change their election rules on a whim.

That is, I think, the real scandal here. That state officials are making changes to statutory election laws without their legislative branches being involved (in Georgia’s case, I believe the governor was given the power to make changes by the legislature, so the water is a little murkier there). There is, especially after this election, a considerable lack of trust in our electoral process. That has to change, and it needs to start with voters knowing their votes will count.

The Supreme Court sided with a rural Colorado church Tuesday that challenged the state Democrat governor’s COVID rules restricting building capacity in some parts of the state.

The 6-3 decision overturned lower court rulings that had upheld Gov. Jared Polis’s church gathering limits to a maximum of 25 percent or 50 people, whichever is fewer, and ordered lower courts to re-examine the case.

BEIJING—Sources within the Chinese government confirmed today that the spy who was assigned to date Rep. Eric Swalwell and get information from him abruptly returned to China and begged to be sent to a labor camp instead.

"Please -- don't make me go back!" she begged after returning to China in 2015. "I'll do anything! I'll break rocks! I'll build a railroad! I'll -- I'll even make shoes for Nike! Just don't make me go back and date that man again!"

"It's cruel and unusual punishment. Which, I guess, is allowed here, but still. It's not a good look," she said.

An international human rights board agreed, putting pressure on the Chinese government to stop forcing spies to date Eric Swalwell and other U.S. congressmen.
