Fox News has obtained a photo of Hunter Biden’s alleged signature on paperwork for the Delaware computer repair shop.

A drunk Hunter Biden stumbled into a Delaware computer repair shop in April of 2019 asking for help repairing his MacBook Pro which sustained water damage.

After many failed attempts to reach Hunter Biden, per the contract Hunter allegedly signed, the computer repair shop owner took legal ownership of the abandoned MacBook Pro.

According to The New York Post, the computer repair shop owner, John Paul Isaac, contacted the FBI and gave them Hunter Biden’s laptop in December of 2019.

Rudy Giuliani said the computer repair shop owner made copies of Hunter Biden’s hard drive and gave them to a couple of his friends just in case he was killed.

Giuliani’s lawyers obtained copies of Hunter’s hard drive and provided the contents to the New York Post which started publishing damning emails revealing Joe Biden was involved in a massive pay-to-play scheme.

The Democrat-media complex immediately went into overdrive and claimed Russian GRU hackers targeted Burisma and the release of Hunter Biden emails were just a Russian disinformation campaign.

We now have an email sent to John Paul Mac Isaac from Hunter Biden’s lawyer referencing the MacBook Pro and Hunter’s signature on the computer repair paperwork.

Hunter Biden’s attorney called John Paul’s shop a few days ago and asked for Hunter’s computers back. The letter was sent after the call. This confirms that the computers held by John Paul Mac Isaac were indeed from Hunter Biden.

Now this…

Hunter Biden’s signature on paperwork for The Mac Shop in Wilmington, Delaware.

The bill was only $85.00.

Joe Biden’s campaign is collapsing since his crackhead son Hunter failed to go back into the repair shop in a timely manner (90 days per the contract) and pay the $85.00.

Streisand Effect: Twitter Ban On Biden Laptop Scandal Nearly Doubled Visibility According To MIT

Tyler Durden

Mon, 10/19/2020 – 19:25

Twitter’s Orwellian decision to censor the Hunter Biden laptop scandal published by the New York Post completely backfired – ‘nearly doubling’ its visibility, according to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and media intelligence firm Zignal Labs.

The poorly-thought-through ban triggered the so-called Streisand Effect and helped turn a sketchy article into a must-share blockbuster. And then on Friday, the Republican National Committee filed a Federal Election Commission complaint against Twitter, claiming that the ban “amounts to an illegal corporate in-kind political contribution to the Biden campaign.” 

…

Looking at the firehose of Twitter shares of the URL—including original tweets, retweets, and quote tweets—Zignal found a surge of shares immediately after Twitter instituted the block, jumping from about 5.5 thousand shares every 15 minutes to about 10 thousand. -MIT Technology Review

So Twitter is back to where it was 2 days ago, only now everyone knows about Hunter’s notebook. Brilliant

The Streisand Effect was named after Barbara Streisand’s 2003 attempt to suppress a photo of her Malibu, California residence by trying to sue a photographer for $50 million over the aerial photograph. Before Streisand’s lawsuit, the photo had only been downloaded from the photographer’s website six times – two of which were Streisand’s attorneys. Once the story went viral, however, over 420,000 people visited the site over the following month. The lawsuit was dismissed and Streisand was ordered to pay $155,567 to cover the photographer’s legal fees.

And Twitter did the same thing when they banned the Post story – blocking people from posting it or sharing it over Direct Message, deleting tweets, and suspending others who shared it. Of note, the New York Post‘s Twitter account is still locked.

Twitter cited their policy against unverified information and "hacked materials," though they never explained how the Biden emails – obtained from a laptop which Hunter dropped off at a Delaware computer repair shop and failed to pick up – violated that policy.

After Twitter came under extreme fire for what some consider election meddling and an editorial decision, CEO Jack Dorsey expressed regret, tweeting that "[s]traight blocking of URLs was wrong, and we updated our policy and enforcement to fix. Our goal is to attempt to add context, and now we have capabilities to do that."

For their partisan censorship, the social media giant has earned themselves a Congressional investigation spearheaded by Sens. Josh Hawkey (R-MO) and Ted Cruz (R-TX). Dorsey will testify next Wednesday via videoconference in front of the Senate Commerce Committee.

The Big Three (ABC, CBS, NBC) networks are doing everything they can to avoid investigating the latest Hunter Biden bombshells. Since the morning of October 14 when the New York Post published new evidence of Hunter Biden’s corrupt business dealings with Ukraine and Joe Biden’s potential knowledge of it the broadcast nets have buried the allegations. 
For Wednesday, October 14 through the morning of October 19 MRC analysts looked at the ABC, CBS, NBC evening and morning shows and their Sunday roundtable programs, plus ABC’s and NBC’s townhall events with Joe Biden and President Trump. Out of a total of 51 hours of news programming, there was less than 15 minutes (14 minutes, 15 seconds) spent on the latest scandals involving Joe Biden’s son. 
ABC spent ZERO seconds on Hunter Biden. 
NBC spent just 5 minutes, 2 seconds on Hunter’s emails. CBS led the broadcast networks with nine minutes and 13 seconds.
Even when journalists mentioned the story, they devoted much of their time to knocking it down.
Over the weekend, NBC Meet the Press moderator Chuck Todd invited NBC News analyst and Washington Post reporter Ashley Parker to question the veracity of the Hunter Biden scandals, with Parker adding one of the released phone texts “actually makes Joe Biden seem like what voters already believe. A decent guy.” 
 
 
NewsBusters’s Nicolas Fondacaro reported on a hack job by CBS’s Margaret Brennan:
During Sunday’s Face the Nation, host Margaret Brennan peppered former National Security Agency Director Admiral Mike Rogers with a request to comment on what she admitted was “speculation” Russia had stolen Hunter Biden’s emails to dump.
Leading up to her admission that what she was peddling about the Biden scandal was baseless, Brennan primed the pump by asking Rogers to discuss Russian efforts to sway the 2020 election with misinformation and even manipulation of vote counts:
“I want to get to your old line of work and your expertise on the intelligence front because we know U.S. intelligence says, right now, Russia is basically trying to manipulate the public, spread disinformation about the election specifically to hurt the Democratic candidate and some Kremlin-linked actors trying to boost the President. Can Russia, at this point, actually change the outcome of the election by altering votes? Do they have that capability?”
After Rogers shot down her suggestion that Russia would be manipulating vote totals for Trump, he noted that Russia was still trying to manipulate voters’ emotions via social media to drive people apart. Brennan saw the opportunity and pounced.
“To that point, you know, there has been a lot of speculation that this week some of the information about Joe Biden’s son, Hunter, that has circulated in tabloid, The New York Post, may be the result of a hack and dump operation,” she declared. Meanwhile, CBS was among the first to push that “speculation” while the Biden campaign had not refuted the validity of the information.
Adding: “This is speculation at this point. That it could have come from Russian military hacking of a Ukrainian gas company where Hunter Biden served. Do you see any justification for that speculation at this point?” But, Brennan’s hypothesis made no sense.
According to the Post report, the information on the computer in question contained a “12-minute video that appears to show Hunter, who’s admitted struggling with addiction problems, smoking crack while engaged in a sex act with an unidentified woman, as well as numerous other sexually explicit images.”
Why would the Ukrainian energy company Burisma have that video and those images, as Brennan suggested was taken from them? That’s not to mention the emails confirmed by Fox News pertaining to Hunter’s involvement with a Chinese firm.
For Rogers’ part, he didn’t know much about the case and didn’t like her speculation. “Again, my view would be let’s let it play out, let’s investigate it, let’s get some factual evidence, let’s get the Metadata, and let’s see if this is accurate or not. I’m just not in a position to speculate. I’m not a fan of speculation,” he said as his host began to speak over him.
Brennan tried to salvage the CBS talking point by comparing the alleged Biden corruption to the Clinton campaign email scandal of 2016:
Well, it’s being compared to the hack and dump operation that happened, as you know, back in 2016. A lot of Democrats alleging that it is that. So, when you say you see Russia doing a disinformation and access — spreading disinformation, is that the kind of thing you’re talking about?
 
(For this study analysts looked at ABC’s World News Tonight, Good Morning America, ABC’s This Week and their 2-hour townhall event with Joe Biden; CBS Evening News, CBS This Morning, CBS Sunday Morning and CBS’s Face the Nation; NBC Nightly News, NBC’s Today show, the Today show Third Hour, Sunday Today with Willie Geist, Meet the Press and their 1-hour townhall event with Donald Trump).

Big Tech has caused serious damage to President Donald Trump’s ability to be heard on social media.
Twitter and Facebook have censored the president’s social media accounts and the accounts belonging to his re-election campaign at least 65 times. In contrast, the companies have not censored former Vice President and Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden and his campaign accounts. At all.
Twitter composes the bulk of the problem, with 98 percent of all the instances of censorship. It shouldn’t come as a surprise that Twitter has made the decision to censor major headlines about the Biden family, particularly when it came to the New York Post’s story about Hunter Biden’s dealings with Ukraine.
The Media Research Center’s Techwatch department analyzed two years of social media posts from Trump, Biden, and their respective campaigns. The analysis did not include any ads from PACs or super PACs that had made ads in favor of either candidate. It also focused on social media posts, not paid advertisements, from the campaigns. These numbers were collected from between May 2018 to October 16, 2020. In addition, Twitter and Facebook employees have funneled money into Democrat campaigns. In a previous study released by MRC Business, the numbers showed that Facebook and Twitter had given over 90 percent of their political contributions to Democrats in 2020.
Twitter
Twitter has been far and away the biggest offender, labeling, fact-checking, and removing Trump’s tweets and the tweets from his campaign accounts 64 times since the president’s election. Tweets about the president’s concern over mail-in voting, COVID-19, and the Black Lives Matter protests have been given “public interest notices.”
Videos retweeted by the president depicting a satirical version of Biden walking on stage to the song “F*** Tha Police” have been deleted as well, after a fact-check from Poynter Institute’s PolitiFact. The actual video showed Biden playing the song "Despacito.”
Twitter fired first in the war between Trump and Big Tech when it completely deleted three tweets from the president on July 28, 2020. It removed tweets about the drug hydroxychloroquine.
Memes apparently are not allowed on the president’s account either. A meme showing Trump saying “in reality, they’re not after me. They’re after you” was removed from his June 30 tweet. Meme videos and meme creators who make pro-Trump content have suffered at the hands of Twitter. One instance is Carpe Donktum, the meme creator who made a video mocking the Democrats’ reaction to the 2019 State of the Union address. The video, retweeted by Trump, was removed after a copyright complaint. Donktum, whose real name is Logan Cook, was also removed in June 2020 after Trump had tweeted another one of his videos showing two toddlers hugging each other, with fake CNN chyrons at the bottom. 
This censorship goes back as far as the beginning of the Trump presidency. A rogue Twitter employee in 2017 deactivated Trump’s account on his last day at work, leaving it offline for 11 minutes. Trump’s two tweets of Drudge headlines in 2018 were given the “sensitive content” filter over top of the tweets.
Users who have been retweeted by Trump play a game of censorship roulette as well. According to the Daily Beast, “Nearly 10 percent of the unverified accounts retweeted by President Trump since his inauguration are currently suspended from Twitter for various violations of the platform’s policies.” One user was quoted in the Daily Beast as saying, “Twitter’s always been fair to me, until the president of the United States retweeted me.” Seventeen accounts at least have been suspended since Trump’s inauguration.
The Trump campaign’s accounts have also been struck by censorship on Twitter. Team Trump has had four videos removed, including one that talked about pro-life policies. In addition, the Trump campaign was also suspended for sharing the controversial Hunter Biden emails story from the New York Post.
Facebook
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg said in a speech given at Georgetown University on Oct. 17, 2019 that Facebook would “continue to stand for free expression.” But since then, Trump and the Trump campaign have been censored on the platform five times. Instagram, Facebook’s sister company, removed one video as well. Each time, the platform has made the statement that it opposes whatever Trump and the campaign have said or stood for.
A video attacking Antifa was removed from the platform, because it violated the platform’s “organized hate policy” for featuring an upside-down red triangle. The ad asked supporters “to sign a petition and "stand with your President and his decision to declare ANTIFA a Terrorist Organization.” The ad was removed from both the president’s page and his campaign’s page. However, multiple violent Antifa pages that have doxxed members of the Senate remain on the platform, unscathed.
Facebook fact-checkers, certified by the liberal Poynter Institute’s Independent Fact-Checking Network, also fact-checked a video that showed Biden saying, “We cannot win this re-election. Excuse me, we can only re-elect Donald Trump.” The video was labeled “partially false” and given an interstitial, or a filter, that suppressed the spread of the content on the platform.

A North Carolina police officer was airlifted to a hospital early Saturday morning after he was beaten while trying to make an arrest — and the attack was livestreamed on Facebook, left his face bloody, and featured laughing onlookers.

What are the details?

Rowland Officer Michael Sale, 27, responded to a disturbance call and was beaten while trying to arrest a man, Chief Hubert B. Graham told WPDE-TV.

A bystander recorded the attack on cellphone, and it went live on Facebook, the station said, adding that the video gained dozens of shares. The video lasted 11 minutes, WPDE reported in an earlier story.

The station said the officer asked a man for assistance, but the man refused. Several people came outside, and some urged others to help, WPDE noted. The officer was repeatedly punched in the face.

The clip does show one man pulling the attacker away from the officer, but another man is heard saying, "Let ’em whup his ass! Let ’em whup his ass!"

After the man lets go, the beating continues. "Don’t you let that man take you to f***in’ jail!" the same man is heard saying to the attacker.

The following are several clips of the attack. (Content warning: Language):

What happened after help arrived?

Graham told WPDE that there was concern Officer Sale broke a bone around his eye, so he was airlifted to a hospital. He has since been discharged and is recovering at home with his family, the station said in a follow-up story.

Authorities charged Jamel Alphonso Rogers with assault with a deadly weapon with intentions to kill while inflicting serious injuries, kidnapping, and two counts of resisting a public officer, the station said.

Rogers appeared before a judge Monday and his bond was set at $500,000, WPDE said, adding that he’s being held at Robeson County Detention Center and that it’s unlikely Rogers will make bond.

Graham said Sale was the only officer on duty Friday night, the station said, which is why it took some time for backup to arrive.

"He was working by himself that night," the chief said in a separate story. "That is being worked on."

Graham also told WPDE he wishes others had stepped up to help "because they knew the situation the officer was in."

Robeson County Sheriff Burnis Wilkins shared his thoughts about the attack on Facebook:

Officer Sale was surrounded by a crowd outside a store last December when he worked for the Maxton Police Department and was violently beaten by one man in the crowd, the station said. As with this weekend’s attack, the incident last year was recorded on cellphone and shared on social media, WPDE said.

Speaking with Fox News from New Hampshire, where she is campaigning for President Trump and keynoted a major fundraiser for the state’s Republican Party, blunt-spoken South Dakota GOP governor Kristi Noem pulled no punches when asked how the revelations about Hunter Biden, the son of Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden, could affect the way women vote in the presidential election. Noem replied:

I’m going to tell you what: women overwhelmingly want somebody leading the country that they can trust and this really does grave damage to Joe Biden’s credibility. This is the kind of corruption in power that we don’t want in our leaders and I’m glad that it’s being talked about and we should continue to dig into it and get the full truth. The American people deserve to hear the truth.

She made a point of stating “how important it is that we have President Trump in the White House. If Joe Biden is in the White House, our way of life will be devastated. I honestly believe the policies that he’s embraced will destroy America. So for me that’s important enough to come here and talk face to face with people who may have the chance to turn this state red and take it for President Trump.”

When asked how President Trump should handle the upcoming debate with Biden, Noem answered, “I would just encourage him to let his love for the American people to shine through. This is a huge opportunity for him to really talk about what he’s delivered for the country these four years and why he gets up everyday and he fights for the everyday ordinary man. He committed to doing so many things that he actually followed through on that this is his chance to tell the American people about what he did and the fact that he did it for them.”

Noem said of Judge Amy Barrett’s performance during the Senate committee’s confirmation hearings on her nomination to the Supreme Court, “I think she was fantastic and I think she made some of those senators look like clowns, honestly. She’s highly intelligent, very qualified for the position, and I think the political attacks they attempted during the committee process just failed.”

Noem’s blunt, honest style has endeared her to GOP voters; in late September, MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow cited coronavirus statistics to attack Noem after Noem had tweeted a picture of herself shooting, captioned, “This is how we do social distancing in South Dakota.” Maddow, quoting the Argus-Leader, tried attacking Noem, tweeting, “South Dakota has just set new records in the number of people hospitalized, new cases, and overall active cases. With a 36% spike in COVID-19 hospitalizations in the last week, the state now has the highest per-capita rate of hospitalizations in the US.”

Noem fired back, “Stop spreading fear. Only 8% of South Dakota’s hospital beds are occupied by COVID patients. We have and will continue to manage our resources to care for the people who need help. The people of South Dakota have accomplished this WITHOUT draconian lockdowns. #FactsNotFear.”

Stop spreading fear.

Only 8% of South Dakota’s hospital beds are occupied by COVID patients. We have and will continue to manage our resources to care for the people who need help.
