Biden Begs Industry He’s Pledged To Destroy To Rescue Nation From Looming Energy Crisis


As Americans face seven-year high gas prices and an imminent surge in power bills this winter, President Joe Biden is begging for help from fossil fuels.

Is it Time for a Special Counsel 

on the Hunter Biden Scandal?

[T]here are legitimate questions of why the Justice Department has not sought a special counsel in the ongoing investigation of alleged money-laundering and tax violations linked to the president’s son. More importantly, even if there are no criminal charges, there is now a compelling need for an independent report on the alleged influence peddling operation by Hunter, his uncle James Biden, and potentially his father, President Biden.

'Armed insurrection': 

What weapons did the Capitol rioters carry?

By any current American standard of civil disorder, what happened on Jan. 6 was a riot. There were some instigators, and there were many more followers. A small number were anticipating a fight, probably with antifa. And as the day went on, some people lost their heads and did things they should regret for a very long time. But a look at the Justice Department prosecutions simply does not make the case that it was an "armed insurrection."
