Hunter Biden and his lawyers are still playing games about whether he will deign to comply with a congressional subpoena.
You would wish that Republicans were as ruthless about enforcing the rules as Democrats, but when faced with a 53-year-old man as entitled and spoiled as the president’s son, they are in new territory.
The contrast with the Trump family could not be more stark.
Unlike Hunter, who defied a House Oversight Committee subpoena to stage a press conference on Capitol Hill and later gate-crash a hearing, Don Trump Jr. testified five times for more than 40 hours to Democrat-led congressional committees without pulling any stupid stunts.

Conservative Supreme Court justices on Wednesday voiced support for weakening the power of federal regulators, but it was not clear whether a majority would overturn a precedent that has guided American law for four decades over everything from the safety of food and drugs to environmental protection.
Billions of dollars are potentially at stake in front of a court that, like the rest of the federal judiciary, was remade during Donald Trump’s presidency by conservative interests that were motivated as much by weakening the regulatory state as social issues including abortion.

During a candlelit dinner with Mar-a-Lago members in late December, former President Donald Trump walked around the table as the conversation turned to one of the biggest decisions he’d have to make should he become the Republican nominee: Whom should he pick to be his running mate? That’s when Rep. Elise Stefanik, the hard-charging upstate New York Republican, came up, according to a person at the dinner table. Attendees around Trump raved about her viral moment just weeks before, when she grilled three university presidents at a congressional hearing about antisemitism on campus.

One hundred days ago, the previously unthinkable happened in Israel. A state, born out of adversity and war only 75 years ago, woke up to what some have since described as a threat to its very existence. On Saturday night, in Tel Aviv, the events of 7 October were commemorated by thousands of people. Uppermost on the minds of everyone were the around 130 hostages abducted by Hamas and still being held in Gaza, although some of them may not still be alive.

Former COVID czar Dr. Anthony Fauci gave closed-door testimony before Congress last week, so it’s time yet again for the Fauci Follies!
The pint-size patron saint of the failed restrictionist policies that lefties and COVID crazies love simply can’t admit he’s lost a massive argument with reality.
The Not-So-Good Doctor got off to a weak start in DC, surprising House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic Chair Rep. Brad Wenstrup (R-Ohio) with “how much he doesn’t recall” from the start of the pandemic.

Legal woes that would have buried a candidate have become a feature of Trump’s 2024 run as other Republicans hit campaign trail in IowaFour candidates were on the campaign trail, meeting and greeting voters in frigid Iowa. A fifth was sitting in a courtroom in rainy Washington, trying to fend off a criminal case that might land him in jail.But in the upside-down, topsy-turvy world of American politics, it is Donald Trump – not Ron DeSantis, Nikki Haley, Asa Hutchinson or Vivek Ramaswamy – who is expected to win the first Republican presidential nominating contest in a landslide next week.

In the last 50 years, New York has had just two mayors booted from office after a single term.Abe Beame and David Dinkins were loyal Democrats who spent years climbing the party ladder before getting to the top.But the City Hall hot seat proved to be too hot, and voters turned them out after each had served four turbulent years.The troubles they encountered were distinct to their personalities and tenures, but the men shared a common malady.Both appeared to be overmatched by the enormous demands of the job.

Arab, Muslim and younger voters face a choice between Biden, who does little to stop mass Palestinian death, and the xenophobic Trumpe have a chaotic and unpredictable election year ahead. That would normally elicit anxiety, but mostly I’m feeling hopeless.
The election is less than a year away, and Joe Biden’s approval rating has sunk to its lowest level yet, clocking in at a paltry 38%, according to a recent Washington Post average of 17 different polls. Biden’s unblinking support for Israel and unwillingness to demand a ceasefire has made dear Uncle Joe appear to many as just another callous politician, numb to Palestinian suffering.

Is this the inconvertible evidence needed to prove the Biden regime colluded with corrupt Fulton Country District Attorney Fani Willis to prosecute Trump?
As the Gateway Pundit’s Cristina Laila previously reported, Willis’ alleged lover Nathan Wade met with the Biden’s White House Counsel multiple times in 2022, before the Trump indictment on bogus charges. Willis hired Wade as a special prosecutor in 2021 and financially benefitted from their relationship, according to the Atlanta Journal Constitution

Ensuring the integrity of elections is... a fundamental requirement to support the legitimacy of the American democratic republic.
We do not have to speculate about the motives of The 65 Project. The head of the group has admitted that their goal is "to deter right-wing talent from signing on to any future GOP efforts" to challenge elections, not only by bringing bar complaints but to "shame them and make them toxic in their communities and their firms."
The 65 Project's straight-faced motto, incidentally, is, "Defending Democracy and the Rule of Law." If only!
We are witnessing a shift in the legal system from lawyers representing and defending clients to lawyers becoming the accused,

When the FBI arrested billionaire financier Jeffrey Epstein on July 6, 2019, at Teterboro Airport in New Jersey, disgusting revelations of his sex trafficking crimes surfaced.
So did his mysterious, monied world — populated by A-listers, politicians, and captains of industry.
Among the bizarre revelations was an oil painting hanging prominently in his Upper East Side townhouse.
Dubbed “Parsing Bill,” the colorful work by Australian artist Petrina Ryan-Kleid shows former President Clinton wearing a blue dress and red heels while lounging in the Oval Office.

Her husband, former President Bill Clinton and their daughter, Chelsea, have also been named, but they have not been accused of any wrongdoing. Attorneys for Virginia Giuffre, who accused sex offender Jeffrey Epstein of abusing her, sought in a 2015 defamation lawsuit against his associate Ghislaine Maxwell, all of her communications with former President Bill Clinton and his wife former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
The Clintons were part of a list of “thirteen specific witnesses” with whom Ms. Giuffre’s attorneys sought their communications.
