Hunter Biden tries to protect his dad but does the opposite in just one sentence: 'The biggest news of the day' | Blaze Media:
The first son tried to set the rules for the deposition, saying last month that he would only appear for a public hearing. No other witness in the House Oversight Committee's investigation into allegations of Biden family corruption has appeared at a public hearing — only closed-door depositions. Biden was to be treated no differently, according to Chairman James Comer (R).
Europe Can't Defend Itself - DAVID STROM
Europe Can't Defend Itself - DAVID STROM"One of the many, many, MANY things Trump got grief for during his presidency is his cajoling of Europeans to spend more time, attention, and money on defense.
With the end of the Cold War, Europeans went all-in on the “peace dividend” and, over the years, have essentially disarmed themselves, partly banking on the US commitment to the defense of our European allies and partly convinced that history had ended and peace would reign–at least on the Eurasian continent.
- Trump was being mean to our European allies.
- He was threatening NATO.
- He was being a bull in a china shop.
- You name the accusation, and Trump was guilty of it.
- He threatened our Atlantic alliances, and thank God the adults are back in charge...

Russia may direct its military forces south but would never dare to look West.
The result?
The result?
European countries don’t really have militaries at all–and that is hardly an exaggeration.
If the US chose not to defend European countries from an external attack, they would collapse like a house of cards...

New poll finds rampant mail-in voting fraud in the 2020 election | Blaze Media
New poll finds rampant mail-in voting fraud in the 2020 election | Blaze Media:
There are many reasons why mail-in voting is less reliable than in-person voting.
For starters, state voter rolls are notoriously inaccurate. In 2012, the Pew Center on the States analyzed state voter registration rolls and found that “approximately 24 million — one of every eight — voter registrations in the United States are no longer valid or are significantly inaccurate. More than 1.8 million deceased individuals are listed as voters. Approximately 2.75 million people have registrations in more than one state.”

Imagine the following:
You're a man who serves as Chairman of the Board of a large University who led the search for the recently hired president.
Your wife runs a non-profit in the DEI space. She is the only full-time employee of the organization, serving as Founder, CEO, and CFO. You serve as Treasurer.
The non-profit ostensibly sells two principal products in the DEI space:
1. "Evidence-based 'how-to-guides' and
2. "The most comprehensive intersectional analytics platform of its kind..."
but the non-profit has no revenues.
It relies entirely on contributions to fund its operations,
There have been only two contributors to the non-profit, the University whose board you chair, which has contributed:
2018 $100,000
2019 $300,000
2020 $150,000
2021 $600,000
2022 $789,000
and a donor advised fund (DAF) affiliated with you which has contributed:
2018 $0
2019 $0
2020 $0
2021 $10,000
2022 $20,000
Doesn't this seem very strange?
What if the University was

What if the Chairman was Mark Gorenberg?
What if the non-profit is http://parity.org?
Why are there so many conflicts/scandals concerning DEI organizations?

Army tanker vet facing cancer gets a final wish: send one last round - Task & Purpose - BY PATTY NIEBERG"Jay Tenison spent nine years in the Army including an Iraq deployment as a tanker.
On Tuesday, he got a last chance to hear "the thunder of doom."
- When Jay Tenison thought about the things he wanted in the final days of his life, one was to fire the cannon on a tank, one more time.
Tenison’s journey to the Fort Moore firing range began in 2022.
After receiving a diagnosis – which took longer than expected – Tenison underwent chemotherapy in March 2022 until September when his oncologist told him that his cancer had progressed to the point that they had run out of treatment options.
- “It didn’t shatter my world, but it kinda made me take a step back,” Tenison told Task & Purpose.
- He found himself thinking about how to spend the time he had left...
