Notable and fantastic news…
My son just bought a 2007 Chevy pickup diesel 130,000 miles and he paid $36,000 for it. The prices are crazy right now…Even a beat up, old small Toyota is $10k plus..Wish I had a better answer for you but it seems people are holding on to what they have now..I'm hoping once Trump is re-elected and as more states open up people will be more willing to let go..
Hang in there, something will come up!
Tony Bobulinski tells Tucker: Joe Biden denials of involvement in son's business 'a blatant lie'
Programming Alert: Tony Bobulinski will join "Tucker Carlson Tonight" on Fox News Channel tonight at 8 p.m. ET
Tony Bobulinski, a former business associate of Hunter Biden, will tell "Tucker Carlson Tonight" in an exclusive interview Tuesday evening that Joe Biden's denials of knowledge or involvement in his son's foreign dealings are "a blatant lie."
Bobulinski, a Navy veteran and the former head of SinoHawk Holdings which he describes as a partnership between the CEFC China Energy conglomerate and two Biden family members told Carlson that he almost walked out of last week's second presidential debate when Biden discussed the topic.
"In that debate, he made a specific statement around questions around this from the president," recalled Bobulinski, who attended the debate as Trump's guest. "And I'll be honest with you, I almost stood up and screamed 'liar' and walked out because I was shocked that after four days or five days that they prep for this, that the Biden family is taking that position to the world."
Text messages obtained by Fox News last week include an exchange between Bobulinski and James Biden, the Democratic nominee's younger brother, in which Bobulinski asks James to "thank Joe for his time".

The messages seem to indicate that a meeting took place, though it's unclear what the substance of the meeting may have been. The messages are unrelated to the laptop or hard drive purportedly belonging to Hunter Biden, the former vice president's son.
“Mrng plse let me knw if we will do early dinner w your Uncle & dad and where, also for document translation do you want it simple Chinese or traditional?” Bobulinski texted Hunter Biden on May 2, 2017.

Report: 80% of COVID patients in hospital had Vitamin D deficiency
A new study shows that more than 80 percent of patients hospitalized for COVID-19 in Spain had a deficiency of vitamin D.
The study, conducted at the University Hospital Marques de Valdecilla, analysed 216 patients admitted to hospital for coronavirus, and found that 80 percent of them showed lower levels of vitamin D when compared to a control group of people of similar a demographic makeup living in the same area.
Details of the study were published in the Endocrine Society’s Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism on Tuesday.
The control group of 197 people, which was tested against the hospitalized patients, were given oral vitamin D supplements for more than there months before their admissions were analyzed as a separate group, according to CTV News.
The study also found that vitamin D levels in men were “especially lower” compared to their female counterparts. COVID-19 patients with vitamin D deficiency also presented raised serum levels of inflammatory markers including ferritin and D-dimer, according to SciTechDaily.
The study also found “compelling evidence” for an association between low vitamin D levels and infections from influenza, HIV, and hepatitis C.
“One approach is to identify and treat vitamin D deficiency, especially in high-risk individuals such as the elderly, patients with comorbidities, and nursing home residents, who are the main target population for the COVID-19,” said study co-author José L. Hernández, Ph.D., of the University of Cantabria in Santander, Spain. “Vitamin D treatment should be recommended in COVID-19 patients with low levels of vitamin D circulating in the blood since this approach might have beneficial effects in both the musculoskeletal and the immune system.”
“There are numerous pieces of evidence in the literature that support the beneficial effect of vitamin D on the immune system, especially regarding protection against infections, including viral infections,” Hernandez told CTV News.
Researchers expressed their interest in studying vitamin D because they found evidence to suggest that it plays a role in resisting COVID-19 infection. Vitamin D, which is naturally produced by kidneys and available as a supplement, affects the function of the immune system.
Despite the lower vitamin D levels in most patients hospitalised for COVID-19, researchers did not find an association between vitamin D levels and the severity of the disease, such as the need for a ventilator or death. Furthermore, they did not identify the deficiency as a “risk factor” for contracting the disease.
“We must wait for the results of the ongoing large and properly designed studies to determine whether vitamin D can prevent SARS-COV-2 infection, or reduce its severity,” Hernandez said.

Shipwreaked Explaining what the Flynn court documents actually mean…
A Dispute Has Arisen Between DOJ and Strzok/McCabe Attorneys Over Their Handwritten Notes – Politico Ignorantly Misreports
Last week Judge Emmet Sullivan ordered the Department of Justice to “authenticate” the exhibits it had filed in support of its motion to dismiss the case against General Michael Flynn. He also ordered DOJ to authenticate records and documents that had been filed by Gen. Flynn’s attorney in her supplemental filings in support of DOJ’s motion to dismiss.
DOJ has been providing additional discovery pursuant to Judge Sullivan’s still applicable “Standing Order” that DOJ provide all “Brady” evidence to a defendant in a criminal case without the Defendant having to make a request or motion. Included in the documents provided by Gen. Flynn’s counsel by DOJ since the filing of the Motion to Dismiss are handwritten notes which DOJ identified to Gen. Flynn’s attorney when making the production that they were notes of Peter Strzok and Andrew McCabe from meetings at different points in time which contain information relevant to the case against Gen. FLynn.
On Monday, Assistant United States Attorney Jocelyn Ballentine filed the government’s response to Judge Sullivan’s Order. A dispute has now raised with regard to her characterization of what did or did not happen between her and the attorneys for Strzok and McCabe with regard to her efforts to comply with Judge Sullivan’s Order. Here is what she wrote with regard to the task at had as she understood it:
Here is the exact text of Judge Sullivan’s order on this very issue:
This is NOT a requirement that the DOJ establish that the contents of the documents in question are “true” or “accurate” as a factual matter. This is the process of “authentication” — which is the basis for legally establishing that the document is what it is reputed to be.
So, for example, you would “authenticate” a page of handwritten notes as being the notes of Peter Strzok for the purpose of establishing that they are not the notes of some other person. Normally you would do that by having Peter Strzok say “The are my handwritten notes.”
That is not the same as saying that the contents of the notes are “true” or “accurate” as a factual matter — only that they are Strzok’s notes and not, for example, Lisa Page’s notes.
The two attorneys, noted Democrat partisan Michael Bromwich, and less notable but still Democrat partisan Aitan Goelman, have now disputed in correspondence to the Court that they “confirmed” anything to ASUA Balletine. Politico reporter Kyle Cheney does his best to mash up and make unrecognizable the issues in a story today — I’m not going to link because it’s such a pile of trash — including getting comments from both Bromwich and Goelman.
First, there are ways to “authenticate” documents without the assistance or participation of the document’s author. What I’m fairly confident happened here was that AUSA Ballentine was not going to allow herself to be held captive in filing her response with the Court by the recalcitrance of the attorneys for Strzok and McCabe — who were both fired for misconduct, and both of whom are now engaged in litigation with DOJ over their firings. I’m sure AUSA Ballentine and her supervisors recognized immediately that they were unlikely to get any cooperation from either of them.
I’d make a small wager that he declined to quote her because I’m going to guess that the email, if read in its entirety, probably included a statement by Ballentine that if she did not hear back from the attorneys by a certain time on Monday, she would indicate to the Court that they had confirmed — by their failure to object — that the copies had not been altered. You do something like that when you don’t want to be held hostage to the other side refusing to respond when there is a deadline involved.
I expect we won’t have to wait much longer to have a fuller understanding of the context — and I have zero confidence that Kyle Cheney or Michael Bromwich had any interest in this story being reported accurately.
