Biden Ghostwriter Mark Zwonitzer and Special Counsel Robert Hur investigated Joe Biden and gave him a pass knowing Biden broke the law by releasing classified documents. Last Friday, Joe Biden gave up the fight and declined to seek further review of an appeals court ruling on the release of 70 hours of conversations with his ghostwriter in 2017.

That’s around the same odds the market was implying on Friday but very different from just a week ago, when the derivatives market was…

The president brought up Collins after she received an award for her coverage of the administration. “I want to personally congratulate CNN’s Kaitlan Collins on receiving her award.

The sovereigntist and anti-Islamification Alternative for Germany accused the political establishment of cynically using the gay pride terror attack to push for their own censorship agenda. A known Islamist extremist was shot dead by police in the aftermath of a combined automobile and knife-type terror attack on a Berlin gay pride parade on Saturday, but the supposedly conservative German Chancellor has leant into an emerging trend of minimising the apparent attack profile to talk about wider society instead. Speaking at a church memorial service on Sunday before an altar bedecked with rainbow ‘progress pride’ flags on Sunday, Chancellor Friedrich Merz…

Sen. John Cornyn said Monday he will not support Todd Blanche’s confirmation as attorney general absent a written modification to the settlement agreement President Donald Trump entered into with his own administration.

Those include formally rescinding a proposed $1.8 billion “anti-weaponization fund” and restricting the scope of tax audit…
