Thanks to the Democrats' War on Fossil Fuels:

That's exactly the narrow and partisan opinion that I've grown to expect from Marc. I bet that sentiment is really titillating for his fans though.

How about what he is saying(Marc). We know what you think of him, considering he has an opinion that not of your own. 

So how about it? With out Google searching for 5 seconds to find sources that support your opinion, explain In your own words what you disagree with.

What do people think about Hunter Biden lying on a firearm application(allegedly), but holding a gun with his member out and smoking crack(not allegedly)? 

I could source several new stories covering this however they would no doubt be shot down instead of addressing the question. Not to mention there are very few if any left news sources reporting about it. 

I did find something from CNN amazingly, however it's old and does not include the lying on firearm application. 

https://www.cnn.com/2022/03/30/politics/hunter-biden-federal-investigation-heats-up/index.html

Apparently, it is illegal to have a firearm while in possession of a fire arm. 

"Possession of a controlled substance can be defined as a crime that occurs when a person is in actual or constructive possession of a drug or some other substance that is deemed to be illegal under federal and state laws".

No thanks.  The opinion piece is distracting partisan drivel.  I'd rather talk about the upcoming hearings.

What do people think about Hunter Biden

Not concerned about Hunter --he is not an elected official nor working in the White House.  DOJ is reviewing his previous financial arrangements re violations of law, so he will have to atone for previous actions if found illegal.

I'd have thought you'd be  more concerned about Jared  Kushner and Ivanka Trump making $640 MILLION while working in the White House and Jared getting Two BILLION from Saudia Arabia  in 2021 for his new investment fund.  Especially since he had significant involvement in shaping U.S.-Saudi relations.      See articles below in case you missed them.

Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner made millions in Washington. But at what cost?

Quote

Apparently accountable to no one, Kushner and Trump acted as if the normal rules did not apply to them. And in fact, they didn’t.

First things first: Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump should never have been allowed to work in the White House. Anti-nepotism rules exist for a reason, namely so that unqualified relatives of the president are not given jobs in the most important office in the world.

Kushner, the son of a now-pardoned felon and real estate magnate, came to the White House from his previous position as an executive in the family business, often playing the role of slumlord. Yet, he was tasked with solving everything from the opioid crisis to modernizing the federal government to criminal justice reform to Middle East peace to the coronavirus pandemic. He solved almost nothing, but he did reportedly help secure a pardon for his father.

Yet , it was so important that these two serve in the administration that the Department of Justice dismissed its anti-nepotism guidelines and decades of precedent to let them work. They left their businesses behind, they said, divested from any potential conflicts of interest and refused to take a salary because they were not in Washington, D.C., for their own benefit.

Or were they? A new analysis of their financial filings shows the couple disclosed up to $640 million in outside income while working in the White House. At the same time, the couple failed to entirely divest from their businesses. Put together, our analysis suggests that as former President Donald Trump’s daughter and son-in-law decamped from the White House in January, they left a trail of ethical breaches in their wake....

House Oversight now investigating $2B Saudi investment in Jared Kushner's firm.

Jared Kushner firm received $2 billion Saudi investment after White House exit: Report

Quote

Jared Kushner, the son-in-law of former President Donald Trump, scored a $2 billion investment from a fund led by the Saudi crown prince just six months after leaving the White House, according to a new report.

Kushner's investment firm, Affinity Partners, received the commitment from Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund after a panel that was overseeing the fund's investments had raised red flags that were overruled by the board, led by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, as reported by the New York Times.

Some of the panel's objections to the deal included "public relations risks" stemming from Kushner's previous roles, "the inexperience of the Affinity Fund management," and the likelihood of the money rendering the fund responsible for the "bulk of the investment and risk," according to minutes obtained by the outlet from the fund's meeting on June 30, 2021.

As part of the deal approved by the board, the Saudi fund received at least a 28% stake in Affinity Partners, Saudi documents said.

Kushner's firm reported having $2.5 billion under management at the end of March, mostly from investors overseas, according to a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Kushner, who was a White House adviser under Trump, sought to raise $7 billion, per a document from last Summer prepared for the Saudi board....

Sure, that's concerning. Is there anything illegal happening? Is there an investigation? 

I did conceed that my post about Hunter are catty and devalue my opinion so I will stop here. However, family members of Presidential candidates and the POTUS are always taken into consideration by the general public whether they are employed by the government or not. The general public see it as a representation of the father for what the son does and questions the value system of the entire family. It's been this way for decades but as far as I can remember and excusing the acts of the POTUS son because "hes a private citizen" is somewat new. The Presidency is a family business.

I disagree, the presidency is not at all a business, or at least it wasn’t before the former guy. The presidency is an elective office of service to the country. The president’s spouse also serves, hosting social events, updating the White House grounds and interior, and usually sponsors programs around children or soldiers.

Wall Street's top cop proposes massive changes to the stock market

Quote

Trading could be made fairer for everyday retail investors with some tweaks to the stock market's plumbing, Securities and Exchange Commission Chair Gary Gensler said at the Piper Sandler Global Exchange Conference in Washington Wednesday. Gensler asked the SEC to consider giving retail traders access to some of the perks available only to the biggest players on Wall Street, including the ability to buy stocks for fractions of a penny, get better visibility into the market's mechanics and invite more buyers and sellers to ensure everyday investors are getting the best price on a purchase or sale.

Among Gensler's biggest proposed changes is a quirk in the stock market that was exposed during the meme stock mania a year ago.

Today, when you buy or sell a stock on an app, the trade appears to be instantaneous. But beneath that simple buy/sell action is a complex web of Wall Street players exploiting tiny differences in price to rake in huge amounts of cash.

Here's how it works: When you tap buy or sell, Robinhood (or your broker of choice), takes your order to a firm known as a wholesaler or market maker — the middlemen who are supposed to get you the best price and who pay the brokers for the privilege of executing the trades. They typically make pennies off each transaction.

That process is known as "payment for order flow," and it has come under intense scrutiny by regulators following the fallout from the January 2021 run-up in meme stocks like GameStop...

I didn't know this re middlemen.... was thinking of joining Robinhood. Will stay with my variety of investment advisors.
