The Hunter Biden thing won't change minds but here we go: a cybersecurity pro says the metadata confirms the authenticity of the emails.
The gist is that Gmail uses a "DKIM" protocol to authenticate emails and the Hunter email matches the e-signature of the sender. So the key email really is from Burisma.
However, my impression is that if someone hacked into, or otherwise gained access to the Burisma system, they could send out signed emails. Who among us has not had their email hacked, to the annoyance of everyone on our contact list?
Shenanigans in the Ukraine seem to be a theme to this story, so who knows?
From Wikipedia on DKIM:
As to the Hunter Biden thing changing minds, who ya gonna believe, me and Lyin' Ted Cruz, or our President?
Trump also continues to hone in on Hunter Biden in the closing days of the campaign, despite allies like Sen. Ted Cruz warning him that it’s not a winning final message. Trump even acknowledged as much in Florida. “I get a call from all the experts, right?” Trump roared to the crowd. “Guys that ran for president six, seven, eight times. Never got past the first round, but they’re calling me up, ‘Sir, you shouldn’t be speaking about Hunter. You shouldn’t be saying bad things about Biden because nobody cares.’ I disagree. Maybe that’s why I’m here and they’re not. But they say, ‘Talk about your economic success. Talk about 33.1 percent, the greatest in history.’ Now, look, if I do, I mean, how many times can I say it?”
I have not run for President six times. But any day now!

Unless 2020 is a one off.
2020 isn't a one-off. This is our future, and not just for politics. The lockdowns and restrictions and mandates will never end.
The bureaucrats and the Army of Karens enjoy their newly seized power too much, and they along with the dishonest press have done too good a job of scaring too many people.
The problem is, we can't make the 50% or whatever % of the population that now believes if you stand 5'11" from anyone without a mask for more than half a second, it's an instant death sentence, stop believing that, no matter how much proof there is otherwise. And if 50+ % of the population doesn't ever want to go back to normal, go to stores, go to the office, go to movies or restaurants, or vote in person, the sane portion of the populace can't make them.

I hear what you're saying, James D.
But it doesn't work like that. Sheeple are sheeple. They don't have their own opinions. When it becomes "okay" to go back to normal, they will do it.
Look at how fast they went to DEFCON 1 over the vyrus. It's because they were told to do it.
The question is: what will be the impetus for their masters to send the order to the flocks?

Another way of saying worry is an indication that I am doubting God. I think back on where my best effort got me, where I am now, and how I got here from there. Worry is a reminder that I still have work to do in my life. How can I be an instrument of God's will when I'm ruled by doubt and worry?

So excited to hear that the British Library is making 40,000 maps & views available to the public online!
The first tranche of 18,000 is up on the Library's
Flickr Commons collection. Alas! It would be more accurate to say the the BL just dumped 18,000 completely unorganized images on a Flickr page, without introduction, description or dedicated search option! You can use Flickr's general search engine, but I don't recommend it. You can click "View All" for 17,287 images, but you can't navigate back to limit the number. Your options for organizing results are: "Interesting," " Date Uploaded," "Date Taken," or "Relevant." Not even "Date of Document." What new hell is this? I like to browse as much as anybody, but 18K randomly ordered images?I was going to spend the day there but jeez. It's hard to believe that the British Library, FFS, is not ready for primetime. I must be missing something, and I wish I knew what.

Good morning!
NO trick-or-treaters, which is just as well as no candy.
I would like to know the justification for foreign governments, particularly those who are adversaries, having ownership or heavy investment in entertainment, music production, advertising, news-gathering companies, broadcast, publication, professional sports, and social media, all without public knowledge.
Why is it that Fisher-Price got bought up by another corporation , moved to China from upstate New York, and then changed from wooden figurines to cheap-ass looking plastic ones which do not work with the older buildings and vehicles? Why is it that Madame Alexander dolls, whose clothing was sewn by seamstresses in Harlem, got bought up by Mattel and had their production moved to China, throwing a bunch of skilled black women out of work and at the same time pushing the advertising and marketing of over-sexualized Barbies to the forefront of doll sales? (All made in China.)
