    Trump Attempts To Catch Hunter Biden In Trap Labeled 'Free Crack'
    WASHINGTON, D.C.—President Trump is attempting to get to the bottom of what's going on with Hunter Biden and Ukraine. In order to catch Hunter Biden and turn him over to the authorities, the president put out a box propped up by a stick tied to a rope. The box was labeled "Free Crack" and contained a large quantity of crack cocaine underneath.

    "Any second now," Trump muttered to himself as he waited in a nearby bush. "Here, Hunter, Hunter, Hunter. Here, boy. That's it, nice and slow. Fantastic crack cocaine over here -- extremely pure stuff. The best crack cocaine, maybe ever!"

    Growing impatient, Trump resorted to more drastic measures. "What's this over here on the lawn!?" he shouted. "Wow! That looks like crack cocaine to me! Looks like fantastic stuff! Sure would be a shame if someone were to come along and pick it up!"

    Sure enough, after a few minutes, Trump saw rustling in a nearby bush. Biden fell for the trap and dove for the crack cocaine. "Got him!" cried Trump as he pulled the string. Unfortunately, Biden was too quick and managed to smoke all the crack and roll out from under the box before Trump could catch him.

    Trump was last seen attempting to bait another trap labeled "Free Hookers."

    This is a Great True Story

    Whenbaseball greats Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig went on tour in baseball-crazy
    Japan in 1934, some fans wondered why a third-string catcher named Moe
    Berg was included. Although he played with five major-league teams from
    1923 to 1939, he was a very mediocreballplayer. But Moe was regarded as the
    brainiest ballplayer of all time.
    Infact Casey Stengel once said: "That is the strangest man ever to playbaseball.”
    Whenall the baseball stars went to Japan, Moe Berg went with them and many
    people wondered why he went with "the team."
    [​IMG]

    LouGehrig and Babe Ruth
    Theanswer was simple: Moe Berg was a United States spy, working undercover
    with the CIA.
    Moespoke 15 languages - including Japanese. And he had two loves: baseball
    and spying.
    InTokyo, garbed in a kimono, Berg took flowers to the daughter of an
    American diplomat being treated in St. Luke's Hospital - the tallest building in the Japanese capital.
    Henever delivered the flowers. The ball-player ascended to the hospital roof
    and filmed key features: the harbor, military installations, railway
    yards, etc. Eight years later, General Jimmy Doolittle studied Berg's
    films in planning his spectacular raid on Tokyo.
    [​IMG]

    MoeBerg
    Hisfather disapproved of his baseball career and never once watched his son
    play. In Barringer High School, Moe learned Latin, Greek and French. Moe
    read at least 10 newspapers every day.
    Hegraduated magna cum laude from Princeton - having added Spanish, Italian,
    German and Sanskrit to his linguistic quiver. During further studies at
    the Sorbonne, in Paris, and Columbia Law School, he picked up Japanese,
    Chinese, Korean, Indian, Arabic, Portuguese and Hungarian - 15 languages
    in all, plus some regional dialects.
    Whileplaying baseball for Princeton University, Moe Berg would describe plays
    in Latin or Sanskrit.
    [​IMG]
    Tito'spartisans
    DuringWorld War II, Moe was parachuted into Yugoslavia to assess the value to
    the war effort of the two groups of partisans there.
    Hereported back that Marshall Tito's forces were widely supported by the
    people and Winston Churchill ordered all-out support for
    the
    Yugoslav underground fighter, rather than Mihajlovic's
    Serbians.
    Theparachute jump at age 41 undoubtedly was a challenge. But there was more
    to come in that same year. Berg penetrated German-held Norway, met with members of the underground and
    located a secret heavy-water plant - part of the
    Nazis'effort to build an atomic bomb.
    Hisinformation guided the Royal Air Force in a bombing raid to destroy thatplant.

    water plant targeted by MoeBerg.
    Therestill remained the question of how far had the Nazis progressed in the
    race to build the first Atomic bomb.
    Ifthe Nazis were successful, they would win the war. Berg (under the code
    name "Remus") was sent to Switzerland to hear leading German physicist
    Werner Heisenberg, a Nobel Laureate, lecture and determine if the Nazis
    were close to building an A-bomb. Moe managed to slip past the SS guards
    at the auditorium, posing as a Swiss graduate student.
    Thespy carried in his pocket a pistol and a cyanide pill.
    Ifthe German indicated the Nazis were close to building a weapon, Berg was
    to shoot him - and then swallow the cyanide pill. Moe,
    sitting
    in the front row, determined that the Germans were nowhere near their
    goal, so he complimented Heisenberg on his speech and walked him back to his hotel.
    [​IMG]
    Werner
    Heisenberg - he blocked
    the
    Nazis from acquiring an atomic bomb.
    MoeBerg's report was distributed to Britain's Prime Minister, Winston
    Churchill, President Franklin D. Roosevelt and key figures in the team
    developing the Atomic Bomb. Roosevelt responded: "Give my regards to the catcher.”
    Mostof Germany's leading physicists had been Jewish and had fled the Nazis
    mainly to Britain and the United States.
    Afterthe war, Moe Berg was awarded the Medal of Freedom - America's highest
    honor for a civilian in wartime.
    ButBerg refused to accept it, because he couldn't tell people about his
    exploits. After his death, his sister accepted the medal. It now hangs in the Baseball
    Hall of Fame, in Cooperstown.

    It’s already a movie. It’s called “The Catcher Was A Spy” and is on EPIX. Paul Rudd plays Moe Berg.

    I saw a movie recently about a baseball player who went to Europe and was an American spy in early WWII, or perhaps just before, but he wasn't posing as a baseball player. I wonder if the movie could have been about Mo.

    I haven't seen one of those since I was five years old and used poplar tree leaves as stolen loot.
