DOJ Finds No Evidence Of Bribery In Photo Of Biden Holding Sign Reading ‘Will Trade Political Favors 4 Cash’
POLITICS·Jun 24, 2023 · BabylonBee.com
WASHINGTON, D.C. — The Department of Justice announced they have found zero evidence of bribery in a photograph of Hunter Biden carrying a bag of cash next to President Biden holding a sign that reads, "Will Trade Political Favors 4 Cash."
"Welp, no trace of bribery here," said Attorney General Merrick Garland, ripping up the photo. "Total nothing-burger."
The Department of Justice promised to review the photograph for any possible evidence of bribery after a whistle-blower made the image public. "We really looked it over, but I just can't find anything suspicious about Biden holding a sign that offers to accept bribes," said FBI Agent Ron Daniels. "There is simply nothing incriminating about Hunter standing next to him with a giant bag of cash. I don't know what people expect us to do with this."
The White House assured the American public that the judiciary remained politically neutral, and would show no bias towards the President's son. "Attorney General Garland met up with Hunter for a nice steak dinner right after Hunter's plea deal to reiterate the DOJ's impartiality," said Press Secretary Karine Jeanne-Pierre. "While several sources reported that Hunter offered Mr. Garland some crack cocaine as a thank-you, we have been assured by the DOJ that no crime was committed at the dinner. With that said, all questions, as always, can be referred to someone else."
At publishing time, the IRS had reviewed Hunter's deduction of prostitute payments from his taxes, and determined there was "no sign of any tax fraud whatsoever."

Report: Schiff Engaged With Russian Prank Callers
Comedians were offering ranking Democrat on House Intelligence Committee naked photos of Trump
By Eric Garcia
Posted February 7, 2018 at 8:24am
Audio of Russian radio comedians prank-calling Rep. Adam Schiff shows the ranking Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee asking for details about naked photos of President Donald Trump they were offering.
The audio from last year was posted by U.K. outlet The Daily Mail. The audio’s existence was first reported by the Atlantic.
On the recording, the comedians, nicknamed “Vovan” and “Lexus,” pretend to be Andriy Parubiy, speaker of the Ukrainian Parliament. The two have duped a number of celebrities and politicians, including U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley, with their calls.
The two tell the California Democrat they have evidence that the Russian government has naked photos of Trump.
The photos stemmed from an affair Trump supposedly had with Russian model Olga Buzova, the two comedians say.

"Missing" GOP Whistleblower Charged As Chinese Spy - Joe.My.God.
USA Today reports: The Justice Department on Monday unsealed charges against the co-director of a Maryland think tank, alleging he acted as an illegal arms broker and unregistered agent for the Beijing government while also seeking to help China obtain Iranian oil in violation of U.S. sanctions...

Trump's followers are either extremely gullible or actively colluding with the Chinese government, in an effort to put Chinese propaganda into the Congressional Record.

Your own link shows Adam Schiff doing just that when offered fake information. He didn't just buy it, he asked for supporting details. Did you even read it? Why do you think Schiff didn't present it, the way gullible republicans presented that Chinese spy whistleblower? If they had been as diligent as Schiff, Americans wouldn't be laughing at them now.
Listen for yourself, Shiff is totally Google eyed then they are thanked.

Don't hear that. He politely asked for some kind of confirming data. Notice that when he didn't get it, the whole thing died there. No mention of it in the House report or on the House floor.
Now, if Jordan had the intelligence to do that, we wouldn't be laughing at him for getting snockered by a Chinese spy, would we? Instead he was so eager to finally make a damaging blow, he just blurted it would without checking properly. And now he's exposed as just another stooge for the Chinese.

Oh, and the Babylon Bee is actually a satire site that often successfully trolls Trump followers. Thought you knew.
But there is some scientific support for liberals and conservatives being different...
While these findings are remarkably consistent, they are probabilities, not certainties—meaning there is plenty of individual variability. The political landscape includes lefties who own guns, right-wingers who drive Priuses and everything in between. There is also an unresolved chicken-and-egg problem: Do brains start out processing the world differently or do they become increasingly different as our politics evolve?
...
Liberals proved more attentive to incongruent information, especially for Democratic candidates. When they encountered such a position, it took them longer to make a decision about whether it was good or bad. They were likely to show activation for incongruent information in two brain regions: the insula and anterior cingulate cortex, which “are involved in helping people form and think about their attitudes,” Haas says.

Of course, the inclination to say "Umm... interesting. Let me think about this." or "Oh, no! Call the cops!" could be adaptive or harmful in different situations. Both of these neural systems have useful purposes. The differences are just tendencies.
But it somewhat supports the old adage that liberals are open and friendly because they all people are pretty much like themselves, and conservative are suspicious and surly for the same reason.

Conservative and Liberal Brains Might Have Some Real Differences
On the whole, the research shows, conservatives desire security, predictability and authority more than liberals do, and liberals are more comfortable with novelty, nuance and complexity. If you had put Buckley and Vidal in a magnetic resonance imaging machine and presented them with identical images, you would likely have seen differences in their brain, especially in the areas that process social and emotional information. The volume of gray matter, or neural cell bodies, making up the anterior cingulate cortex, an area that helps detect errors and resolve conflicts, tends to be larger in liberals. And the amygdala, which is important for regulating emotions and evaluating threats, is larger in conservatives.While these findings are remarkably consistent, they are probabilities, not certainties—meaning there is plenty of individual variability.

As a simple man I see things through a simple filter. Conservatives predicate belief upon fact, Liberals predicate belief on their words. Speak enough words, and they become reality. Case in point: Only two biological genders exist, but Liberals believe their many words have brought many more into reality.Oh, and the Babylon Bee is actually a satire site that often successfully trolls Trump followers.

Its all a liberal delusion. One Day, God will pop the bubble of unreality:
9 Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites,
10 nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God.
11 And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God. (1 Cor. 6:9-11 NKJ)
Christians repent, note verse 11 "such were some of you" past tense. We don't change truth for liberal delusion, not Christians. Tares do.

The research indicates pretty much the opposite. Conservatives do it on perceived threats and liberals do it by examining the facts.
Actually, gender is a matter of genetics, anatomy, and mind. If one is lucky, they all line up together. For a few people, they don't. This is seen among other animals as well. Would you like to learn about it?
I share your thoughts that homosexual behavior is a sin. However, that is not for the government to determine. That is between each person and God, so long as they don't force others to take part in sex.
The West is becoming Sodom and Gomorrah. The coming false Christ is called the "Man of Sin" because he originates from sin, and condones all sin, working miracles that he claims prove God is "on board" with the change.
Leftists will love it, words live and breathe and their meaning changes over time.
Tolerance is not on the agenda. Leftists aren't happy if the Church agrees aberrant behavior is not to be regulated or discriminated against, because we hope all repent before its too late and are saved.
The left wants us to rejoice in the Sodomization of our culture, actively promote it, or they will shut us down for "hate speech."
After they come for me, they will get you. Unless you actively declare their perversions "holy" and "God approved", your dead me just like me.
Unless you take the Mark:
9 Then a third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, "If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives his mark on his forehead or on his hand,
10 "he himself shall also drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out full strength into the cup of His indignation. He shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb.
11 "And the smoke of their torment ascends forever and ever; and they have no rest day or night, who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name."
12 Here is the patience of the saints; here are those who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.
13 Then I heard a voice from heaven saying to me, "Write:`Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on.'" "Yes," says the Spirit, "that they may rest from their labors, and their works follow them." (Rev. 14:9-13 NKJ)

Actually, it's not contagious. Would you like to know why? The vast majority of Americans remain heterosexual, with the appropriate gender because that's how most of us are born.
If you doubt this, ask yourself when you considered being other than whatever orientation you are, and what made you decide the way you did.
Actually, that's not an issue for the Church...
Basing itself on Sacred Scripture, which presents homosexual acts as acts
of grave depravity (Cf. Genesis 19:1-29; Romans 1:24-27; 1 Corinthians 6:10; 1 Timothy 1:10),
tradition has always declared that “homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered.” (Congregation
for the Doctrine of the Faith, Persona humana, 8). They are contrary to the natural law. They
close the sexual act to the gift of life. They do not proceed from a genuine affective and sexual
complementarity. Under no circumstances can they be approved.
The number of men and women who have deep-seated homosexual tendencies is not
negligible. They do not choose their homosexual condition; for most of them it is a trial. They
must be accepted with respect, compassion, and sensitivity. Every sign of unjust discrimination
in their regard should be avoided. These persons are called to fulfill God’s will in their lives and,
if they are Christians, to unite to the sacrifice of the Lord’s Cross the difficulties they may
encounter from their condition.
Homosexual persons are called to chastity. By the virtues of self-mastery that teach them
their inner freedom, at times by the support of disinterested friendship, by prayer and
sacramental grace, they can and should gradually and resolutely approach Christian perfection.
Sample is too small for such distinctions.
Jesus condemned all sin including those in the mind only, pinpointing sexual lust:
"But I say to you that whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart. (Matt. 5:28 NKJ)
It is consistent any and all sexual sins that first appear in the mind, are sinful. That includes those of limp wristed slack jawed non-binaries of every letter LBG++z woke people you think God will forgive non-repentance:
9 Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites,
10 nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God. (1 Cor. 6:9-10 NKJ)

What research?
Phony studies by both sides "proving" liberal brains" are wrinkled pathetic husks of normal brains having common sense, and vice versa. He believes the liberal "research" has merit, probably unaware with a few word changes, it becomes a study of "liberal brains," that illustrate how Dinosaurs lived for millions of years with walnut sized brains, dry and wrinkly.

"What’s really fascinating is that there have been a number of recent studies looking at brain structural differences between liberals and conservatives," said Saltz. "And what’s been found in several studies is that liberals tend to have a larger anterior cingulate gyrus. That is an area that is responsible for taking in new information and that impact of the new information on decision making or choices. Conservatives tended on the whole to have a larger right amygdala. Amygdala being a deeper brain structure that processes more emotional information—specifically fear-based information," Saltz explained.
"Basically the study showed that if you just based it on brain structural size difference, you could predict who would be a conservative and who would be a liberal with a frequency of 71.6 percent; 71.6 percent is a pretty high ability to predict who is a conservative and who is a liberal just from brain structure," Saltz said.

A Neurology of the Conservative-Liberal Dimension of Political Ideology
Abstract
Differences in political ideology are a major source of human disagreement and conflict. There is increasing evidence that neurobiological mechanisms mediate individual differences in political ideology through effects on a conservative-liberal axis. This review summarizes personality, evolutionary and genetic, cognitive, neuroimaging, and neurological studies of conservatism-liberalism and discusses how they might affect political ideology. What emerges from this highly variable literature is evidence for a normal right-sided “conservative-complex” involving structures sensitive to negativity bias, threat, disgust, and avoidance."What’s really fascinating is that there have been a number of recent studies looking at brain structural differences between liberals and conservatives," said Saltz. "And what’s been found in several studies is that liberals tend to have a larger anterior cingulate gyrus. That is an area that is responsible for taking in new information and that impact of the new information on decision making or choices. Conservatives tended on the whole to have a larger right amygdala. Amygdala being a deeper brain structure that processes more emotional information—specifically fear-based information," Saltz explained.
"Basically the study showed that if you just based it on brain structural size difference, you could predict who would be a conservative and who would be a liberal with a frequency of 71.6 percent; 71.6 percent is a pretty high ability to predict who is a conservative and who is a liberal just from brain structure," Saltz said.
Study: Liberals and conservatives have different brain structures
