BREAKING: The Hunter Biden Hearing transcript was just released. It's over 250-pages long. Here are 7 highlights I have found: - Hunter Challenged Republicans to Prove that he sent money to Joe Biden: “I appreciate the job that you have. I truly do. I appreciate the job that you all have. But I am telling you this: is that if you can show me where any money that I’ve ever had went to my father, other than, for instance, the repayment of the $1,300 for a loan for a truck – OK?” - About Family Members being involved in actual business deals: “All I know is this: My father was never involved in any of my business, ever. Never received a cent from anybody or never benefited in any way. Never took any actions on behalf in any way. And I can absolutely, 100% state, that is not just in my case but in every family member’s case.” - About the Joe Biden "is sitting next to me" WhatsApp messages: “My father was not sitting next to me. My father had no awareness. My father had no awareness of the business that I was doing. My father never benefited from any of the business that I was doing,” He then went on to say he was “out of my mind” and “drunk and probably high”. - About the "10 for the Big guy" email in 2017: “All I know is that what was executed in the agreement, and the agreement didn’t have anything to do with my father.” - On why he never involved Joe Biden in his deals: “It’s just a natural family relationship. I was a professional adult, and I had my business, and my dad had his business." “There was one thing that we – that I was fully aware of my entire life, is that my dad was an official of the United States government, and there were very bright lines that I abided to and that I was very, very cognizant of,” he continued. “And I made certain that I never engaged with my father in asking him to do anything on my behalf or on behalf of any client of mine.” - Hunter Biden Attacking Jared Kushner: “The question being asked, that you’re stating, is that my father said that I never received any money from China, the government of China. Unlike Jared Kushner, I’ve never received money from a foreign government,” Hunter Biden said in response to a question from Republican staff. “When Jared Kushner flies over to Saudi Arabia, picks up $2 billion, comes back, and puts it in his pocket, OK, and (Trump) is running for President of the United States, you guys have any problem with that?” Matt Gaetz Jumped In: “The clock has stopped." Hunter Replied: “No, the clock has not stopped. Do you guys have any problem with that? I’m asking. It’s unbelievable to me. - Hunter Pushes Back on Matt Gaetz Drug Questions, likely implying Gaetz's record of alcohol use and DUI: Gaetz: “Were you on drugs when you were on the Burisma board?” Hunter: “Mr. Gaetz, look me in the eye. You really think that’s appropriate to ask me?” Gaetz: “Absolutely” Hunter: “Of all the people sitting around this table, do you think that’s appropriate to ask me?” Gaetz: “Yeah. Are you going to answer it?” Gaetz asked again. Hunter: “I will answer it this way: I have been absolutely transparent about my drug use. Again, I spoke to you all earlier this morning about that. I’m sorry; I’m an addict. I was an addict. I have been in recovery for over 4-and-a-half years now, Mr. Gaetz. I work really, really hard at it. Let me answer. I work really hard at it, under an enormous amount of pressure. Was I an addict? Yes, I was an addict. What does that have to do with whether or not you’re going to go forward with an impeachment of my father other than to simply try to embarrass me?” Note that any lie told by Hunter could lead to 5 years in Prison. He wasn't afraid to tell the truth.

Since it's this hour, if you have that same hideous affliction of songs getting terminally stuck in your head, what's your "cleaner" song that you can think of to override it?

@Tesla Not really sure. Give me one, and I’ll figure it out.

All good cars have names. What have you named your Tesla?

Last night’s flooding at Williamson Creek in Oak Hill. Please don’t do this.
