Hunter Biden was mad with Obama helped his father off the stage at the LA fundraiser in 2024.
“According to Hunter, that moment singularly enraged him beyond comprehension. So much so that he almost launched a profane tirade against Obama, got in his face, and threatened him.
“I knew that that was going to be a meme,” Hunter says in the book, according to Axios. “That really, really, really, really pissed me off.”
He added, “I almost jumped up on the stage and said, ‘Don’t ever f***ing do that to the president of the United States again — ever.”

Finny how it takes the Brits to make this a top MSM news story. Here’s the top article on the Daily Mail website this morning –
Reign Check
An inconvenient truth has emerged about the anti-Trump No Kings protests that swept the nation over the weekend — they were mainly attended by rich, old white people.
That demographic is traditionally associated with conservative politics, but it is increasingly synonymous — perhaps in part because of Joe Biden — with the Democratic Party.
In Atlanta, where the population is predominantly black, liberal attendees who took to the streets on Saturday were mostly white — even though they make up just 38 percent of the city.
At other protests across the country, including in Washington, DC, New York and Los Angeles, the supposedly inclusive woke Democrats didn’t appear to attract anyone outside their demographic.
The vast majority — holding signs likening Trump to Adolf Hitler and ICE to the Gestapo — appeared to be white, privileged and elderly suburbanites.

“At least seven people have been killed including two children during intense Russian drone and missile strikes on Ukraine, says President Volodymyr Zelensky.
A kindergarten was hit in Ukraine’s second biggest city Kharkiv and there was widespread damage in Kyiv, in a series of attacks that Zelensky said proved Moscow had not come under enough pressure for its continued war. At least 27 people including children are reported hurt.
Hours earlier, US President Donald Trump said his plans for an imminent summit in Budapest with Russia’s Vladimir Putin had been shelved as he did not want a “wasted meeting”.
Trump needs to stop pretending that he doesn’t know Putin is just playing him for a chump.

Biggest red flag is that the Rutgers poll was conducted over two weeks (3-17 OCT). I hate to go all old school HHR (was it Howard “39 Percent!” Dean?), but that’s trashable right then and there.

Thee civil war and slavery:
Delaware
“President Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation…[in 1863] did not free any slaves in Delaware.
“…because Delaware was a border state between the North and South, Lincoln’s order did not apply to slaves in the First State. The last complete census in 1860 found 1,900 people living in slavery in Delaware. Most of those were in southern Delaware’s rural Sussex County, although smaller numbers were held throughout the state [in the other two counties of DE]. Those still held in slavery on June 19 would not be freed until December of 1865 when the 13th Amendment was ratified.
Slavery was abolished in Washington, D.C., in 1862 and in Maryland in 1864. Both occurred during the Civil War, before the 13th Amendment outlawed slavery nationwide.
Washington, D.C.
Slavery was outlawed in the capital through the District of Columbia Compensated Emancipation Act.
Maryland
As a Union border state, Maryland was not affected by President Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation in 1863, which only applied to states that were in rebellion. Maryland abolished slavery through its own process.
West Virginia‘
admitted to the union as a union state in 1863
WV’s constitution and admission as a state
“Among the constitutional issues to be addressed was the question of slavery, which existed in parts of the proposed new state. Sentiment in the western counties was sharply divided. Some preferred to retain slavery, some favored total abolition, and some favored gradual emancipation. Still others sought to exclude Blacks from the new state entirely.”
“The matter went before the U.S. Senate. Radical Republican Charles Sumner of Massachusetts proposed to free all enslaved people in West Virginia as of July 4, 1863. His proposal was defeated, and Reorganized Government of Virginia Sen. Waitman Willey suggested that children born to enslaved mothers after July 4, 1873, should be freed. This proposal in turn was not acceptable to senators wishing to eliminate slavery, a concept for which they felt the North was fighting the Civil War. Willey then managed to strike a compromise that was acceptable to a majority.”The Willey Amendment to the West Virginia Statehood Bill provided that all enslaved people under 21 years of age on July 4, 1863, would be free on reaching that age…” “and all slaves over ten and under twenty-one years, shall be free when they arrive at the age of twenty-five years;
[no mention of what would happen to status of slaves who were over 21, or who were under 10 years old. Slaves who were younger than 10…though it can be assumed that they would also gain freedom once they reached the age of 21 or 25.]
The compromise was adopted by the convention on February 17 and later superseded by the 13th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
