Republican Sens. Chuck Grassley of Iowa and Ron Johnson of Wisconsin are sharing with the U.S. attorney leading the criminal investigation into Hunter Biden more than 200 pages of bank records related to his and the Biden family’s alleged “connections to the Chinese regime and persons connected to its military and intelligence elements”.
Fox News Digital independently reviewed the bank records Grassley and Johnson obtained throughout the course of their investigation into Hunter Biden’s business dealings. The more than 200 pages of records come from Cathay Bank, the oldest operating bank in the U.S. founded by Chinese Americans.
Grassley and Johnson obtained the records from a U.S. bank in the course of their investigation into Hunter Biden’s business dealings. The records reveal transactions between Hunter Biden-linked business entities and Chinese energy firm CEFC, which reportedly had ties to the Chinese Communist Party.

Canadian Taxpayers Federation- Canada hikes taxes while other countries provide relief
While the government of Canada raised taxes, the CTF identified 51 national governments that provided tax relief during the pandemic or to ease the burdens of inflation. National governments that provided tax relief include more than half of G7 and G20 countries and two-thirds of the countries in the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development.

Financial Post- Online News Act goes off track
The history of the news business is certainly lost in Ottawa, where Heritage Minister Pablo Rodriguez is railroading a piece of legislation — Bill C-18, the Online News Act — through Parliament. Last Friday, Rodriguez abruptly pulled the plug on the House of Commons’ Heritage committee’s hearings on the bill, cutting off possible witnesses, including major corporations that are key targets of the act, including Facebook.

I can’t imagine why anyone would be upset with the current crop of cabinet ministers. Economy is doing great, housing is plentiful, interest rates are stable, food and fuel are cheap, there’s plenty of space in the hospitals, taxes are going down…

Who gives a frac? That’s a really good question
A huge reason behind Saskatchewan’s growth as a ‘have’ province was the advent of horizontal oil wells with multi-stage fracking, which had a substantial impact on oil production. And Crescent Point ended up with most of the fracked oil plays in Saskatchewan – the Bakken, Torquay and Shaunavon. But in what can only be considered a stunning move, Crescent Point announced on Wednesday that it’s trying to drill wells in the Bakken but not frac them.

It’s Probably Nothing
President of Yara International, Svein Tore Holsether, told stakeholders during a third quarter conference call that global food supplies can’t be maintained if the supply of nitrogen fertilizer continues to tighten.
“The world’s food supply cannot be maintained without nitrogen,” said Holsether.
“We are deeply concerned about the state of global agriculture… Yara’s markets have never been more challenging than what we have seen in the past 12 months with European production costs reaching an all-time high.”
Warnings by Holsether coincide with what many Canadian farmers are experiencing here at home. […]
Farmers in Ontario have also seen fertilizer prices spike by a shocking 238% this year with no signs of relief.
“For example, farmers across eastern Canada continue to experience uncertain access to fertilizer and recognize that scarcity of this essential input is potentially a reality for years to come,” executive director of the Canadian Federation of Agriculture Scott Ross told the Sept. 28 committee.

Biden’s America: Why fentanyl is killing so many Americans. Crazy old lady rants that Republicans will steal the election. More migrant caravans coming to America.

Meta analysis
It appears that a certain group of social engineers are finally getting their well-deserved comeuppance. I’m surprised that the fact-checkers aren’t going all out to bury the news.
Meta is in a revenue slump for the long haul. The company sees $30 billion to $32.5 billion for the holiday quarter, missing the midpoint of consensus.
Expenses for 2023 are higher than expected, at $96 billion to $101 billion, as Zuckerberg pursues that metaverse vision.
Reality Labs and other metaverse initiatives are going to keep losing money. Operating loss is $3.67 billion.
Earnings also missed estimates, at $1.64 per share compared to the $1.89 per share estimate.
Zuckerberg says “prioritization and efficiency” are the focus for 2023. Some teams will be downsized, only priority teams get to grow headcount.
