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!
Yep. Must have helo’ed Trump to an airport that could handle the airplane.

That's the same margin as their final poll four years ago, which wound up foreshadowing Trump's Midwestern sweep

Past,
We had no music at all for the entire wedding/pictures/food/booze extravaganza.
We wanted to be more focused on the people there (mainly the young folk), and we thought it would detract from that.

Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.
Hubs is sending this to our daughters tomorrow. Son is already very aware.
Pass it on to all others who have youngsters who don’t get it. Maybe they will if you send it. MAGA 2020!
