Neil Bush grín hornið

Q: "Neil Bush, the brother and son of two former United States presidents has caused an online stir in notoriously secretive China with a provocative photograph he posted on the the censored social network Weibo.

Standing wearing a green cap with a Cultural Revolution era-red star, a 'Serve the People' shoulder bag and a tin Mao Zedong mug, the 57-year-old uploaded the picture with the caption, 'I'm thinking of joining the CCP (Chinese Communist Party). What do you think of my accessories?'"

""You have a future!!!" wrote Weibo user OldMadMonk: (sic)"If you can join the CCP, you can embezzle, take bribe, solicite prostitutes or even rape child without or with very little punishment. You make the right choice.""

Allt gengur betur en við var að búast hjá Biden

Q: "... Mr. Biden [...] anointed himself “the big guy” and dispatched his troubled son Hunter to China to collect millions and put the whole family into political hock to the Chinese communists."

"He leveraged $1 billion in taxpayer money to force the sacking of a Ukraine prosecutor who was threatening to investigate his son’s obvious corruption in that derelict country."

"Among his latest hires is a guttermouth who spouts off to Glamour magazine about how they will attempt to work with Republicans even though, in her potty language, they are a “bunch of f–—s.”"

Kínverjar stunda vegagerð í Himalaja

Q: "The Hindustan Times reported Friday that the road and associated infrastructure will improve the PLA’s ability to cross Karakoram Pass. The road is less than 30 feet wide for much of its length, but it would “shorten the distance to the strategic gateway into the Daulet Beg Oldi sector by two hours,” and would help the PLA feed and support troops positioned along the mountainous Indian border for extended periods.

Both India and China have thousands of troops dug in along the border, even though it runs through some of the most inhospitable high-altitude terrain in the world. Indian officials who spoke to the Hindustan Times pointed to China’s road-construction project as an example of how the PLA talks about disengagement but keeps reinforcing its positions."

Q: "Jupiter and Saturn are set to align over Britain's skies for the first time in 800 years in a phenomenon dubbed the 'Star of Bethlehem'. 

Both gas giants, they have been gradually getting closer to one another since the start of summer.

And, on December 21, the planets will appear to virtually overlap in the sky in a phenomenon not seen since the Middle Ages."
