Speaker Kevin McCarthy announced Monday that House Republicans should launch an impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden as the next logical step based on the House Committee investigations. House Republicans certainly have uncovered enough evidence of wrongdoing through their subpoenaing of bank records, information from whistleblowers, allegations from credible sources, and testimony from first-hand witnesses. Simply put, Republicans have more evidence for an impeachment probe than House Democrats did when they launched their impeachment inquiry in September 2019.

There is mounting evidence that Joe Biden was involved in his family’s influence peddling schemes, including while he served as Vice President. However, Democrats and their corporate media allies continue to ignore this overwhelming evidence as they seek to distract the American people from the Biden family’s corruption. Below are over 20 examples of Joe Biden’s involvement.
1) In July 2023, former Biden business associate Devon Archer described how Joe Biden was “The Brand” and was used to send “signals” of power, access, and influence to enrich the Biden family from foreign sources.

Critics of House Speaker Kevin McCarthy's decision to allow an inquiry into impeaching President Joe Biden are right about one thing: The Republicans who are pushing for it want to get even with the Democrats. The GOP base is still fuming over the Democrat's impeachment of former President Donald Trump on bogus charges related to his demand that Ukraine investigate Biden family corruption in that country. A better case could be made for the second impeachment about the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, yet most Republican voters now believe the Democrats' determination to brand everyone who raised questions about the 2020 results as an "insurrectionist" has stripped the issue of legitimacy.
The decision by House Speaker Kevin McCarthy to open an impeachment inquiry into President Biden is drawing predictable howls from Democrats and their media handmaidens.
Some faint-hearted Republican representatives also are whimpering, as if playing nice would help them keep their jobs. They should step away from the Kool-Aid. The truth is that if McCarthy (R-Calif.) had opted against an inquiry, he wouldn’t deserve to keep his job and the GOP wouldn’t deserve to hold the House majority.
The role of the opposition party is to oppose, not to surrender to the White House, especially a corrupt one. And it’s long past time for Republicans to play hardball because it’s the only
Rep. Lauren Boebert, R-Colo., was escorted out of a Denver theater’s performance of the "Beetlejuice" musical Sunday after causing a disturbance involving laughing, singing, recording and vaping, according to a report. The Denver Post reported that in an incident shared with the publication Tuesday, it was written that two patrons at a performance of the touring Broadway show were asked to leave the Buell Theatre, which is owned by the City of Denver.
The two were reportedly given warnings during intermission that it received three complaints from attendees.
Ten Red Flags Warn of a Looming Recession

Economists have practically sounded the all-clear on a looming recession, but plenty of signs are still flashing red.
Clearly, economists were wrong earlier this year when they forecast an economic contraction that has yet to manifest. Could they be wrong now?
To be sure, economic growth, the labor market and consumer spending have proven unexpectedly resilient in the face of rising interest rates and elevated inflation. But there are still plenty of signs a recession might still be on its way. 1. An “uncertain outlook” from leading indicators
Many mainstay economic indicators measure the past. So-called leading indicators reflect what likely lies ahead.
Rep. Scott Perry, R-Pa., called out a journalist on Tuesday for claiming that Americans "can't see" evidence that President Biden has committed wrongdoing worthy of impeachment. Rep. Scott Perry, R-Pa., called out a journalist on Tuesday for claiming that Americans "can't see" evidence that President Biden has committed wrongdoing worthy of impeachment. The GOP lawmaker pointed out several examples of evidence of the president’s corruption in response to a question reportedly from U.K. Channel 4 Washington correspondent Siobhan Kennedy. He also said that many Americans are in the dark about it because mainstream reporters like her "don’t report on it."

Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Tuesday that the Soviet Union's decision to send tanks into Hungary and Czechoslovakia to crush mass protests during the Cold War was a mistake.
"It was a mistake," Putin said when asked about perceptions of Russia as a colonial power due to Moscow's decision to send tanks into Budapest in 1956 and into Prague in 1968.
"It is not right to do anything in foreign policy that harms the interests of other peoples," said Putin, who in 2022 sent tens of thousands of troops into Ukraine, triggering the biggest land war in Europe since World War Two.
A slew of individuals convicted for various charges directly related to their involvement in the January 6, 2021, riot are seeking appeals based on a law that could ultimately comprise a major aspect of Donald Trump's trial defense. Trump was charged with four crimes associated with January 6, including obstruction of an official proceeding. The obstruction charge is being focused on by the January 6 defendants' legal counsel as a maneuver for the Supreme Court to weigh in and potentially rule in their favor and eventual dismissal.
At least 310 cases involving alleged January 6 participants include that same charge, most notably already used against high-profile individuals
What If We Had a Functional Media?

Could you imagine the difference if, in the fall of 2020, the Washington Post had accepted a copy of the Hunter Biden hard drive and actually investigated the thousands of emails, photos, text messages, and other evidence that implicated not just Hunter but his father Joe Biden in sundry unethical and criminal enterprises?
What about CBS, NBC, and ABC? Shouldn’t we as news consumers expect these leviathans “to give the news impartially, without fear or favor, regardless of party, sect, or interests involved,” as the new owner of the New York Times declared way back in 1896?
The Frightened Left

An impeachment inquiry looms and the shrieks of outrage are beginning.
The Left is now suddenly voicing warnings that those who recently undermined the system could be targeted by their own legacies.
So, for example, now we read why impeachment is suddenly a dangerous gambit.
True, the Founders did not envision impeaching a first-term president the moment he lost his House majority. Nor did they imagine impeaching a president twice. And they certainly did not anticipate trying an ex-president in the Senate as a private citizen.
With the release of the special grand jury final report in Georgia, the nation finally was able to see what foreperson Emily Kohrs last February was giggling about in interviews.
Call it the “Why not?” report. Back then, when Kohrs was asked if there were recommended charges, she chuckled and said, “Can you imagine doing this for eight months and not coming out with a whole list of recommended indictments? It’s not a short list. It’s not.'”
In addition to nodding at an expected Trump indictment, she added, “There may be some names on that list that you wouldn’t expect.” After all, why not?

Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) will not seek a second term next year, he announced on Wednesday.
Romney, 76, said in an interview that his decision to not run again was heavily influenced by his age and his prediction that his second term would be less effective than his first. “It’s very difficult for the House to operate, from what I can tell,” Romney said. “And perhaps more importantly, we’re probably going to have either Trump or Biden as our next president. And Biden is unable to lead on important matters and Trump is unwilling to lead on important matters.”

The California legislature passed a bill Friday that would threaten parents with losing custody of their children if they question their child’s supposed desire to undergo disfiguring hormone regimens or surgeries to appear more like the opposite sex.
Assembly Bill 957 was initially proposed to require courts to consider whether parents were “affirming” a child’s identification as transgender in custody cases. The legislation was later amended in June to declare parents who aren’t deemed sufficiently “affirming” liable for child abuse.
In a tweet sent out over the weekend, Rob “Meathead” Reiner declared that “For our Democracy to survive, two things have to happen. Donald Trump needs to be Convicted for Jan. 6th and there can be no Third Party Candidate.”
Reiner’s comment was so blatantly anti-democratic that it elicited an avalanche of criticism, some of it from leftists who didn’t particularly like the idea of barring third-party candidates. As one person on X (formerly known as Twitter) responded: “Better make sure there’s no second party candidate either, just to be safe. For Democracy.”
Another way of putting what Reiner said: We need to kill democracy in order to save it.
Soaring crime in the nation's capital is leaving residents rattled, with locals driving small distances to avoid walking and others now too fearful to step outside even during the day.
Homicides and robberies are up 29 and 67 per cent from the same time period last year, with murders approaching levels not seen in two decades - while other big cities such as New York, Chicago, Philadelphia and Baltimore are seeing declines.
Neighboring Baltimore could end the year with under 300 killings for the first time since the riots over Freddie Gray's death in police custody in 2015.
What did she think was going to happen? New Mexico’s Democratic governor has been making headlines around the country since she decided her election to a statewide office gave her the power to suspend the Constitution of the United States. Over the weekend, her home-state constituents sent a message of their own.

On the question of credit, the senior Republican senator from Missouri finds himself well to the left of the White House, only slightly less progressive than democratic socialists like Sen. Bernie Sanders and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and very much out of step with the business-friendly old guard of his party.

Republican Sen. Mitt Romney of Utah announced Wednesday he will not run for reelection to a second term in the Senate in 2024. "I spent my last 25 years in public service of one kind or another," Romney said in a video posted on social media. "At the end of another term, I'd be in my mid-80s. Frankly, it's time for a new generation of leaders." Romney, 76, was the Republican nominee for president in 2012 and won election to the Senate in 2018. "While I'm not running for reelection, I'm not retiring from the fight," he said. "I'll be your United States senator until January of 2025."
A medicine used by millions of Americans for a stuffy nose does not work, a Food and Drug Administration panel ruled today.
Phenylephrine is the most common active compound in over-the-counter drugs like Benadryl Allergy Plus Congestion, Sudafed PE, and Tylenol Cold and Flu Severe Day & Night.
But an FDA panel said after a two-day review that the oral decongestant ‘is not effective’ at standard or even high doses compared to a placebo.Their ruling is not binding but strongly suggests the agency could soon heed their advice and pull its approval, forcing companies to pull or reformulate their products.

Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) cautioned House Republicans not to pursue an impeachment inquiry of President Joe Biden, which he sees as “unlikely to be successful in the Senate,” while House Minority Whip John Thune (R-SD) indicated he was not keen on an impeachment investigation being tied to negotiations around government funding.
Cornyn and Thune, two of Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell’s (R-KY) top deputies, made the comments to the Hill in an article published ahead of McCarthy’s announcement Tuesday morning that House Republicans are opening a formal impeachment inquiry into Biden.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer on Tuesday lashed out at Speaker McCarthy and accused him of spearheading a “witch hunt” for announcing an impeachment inquiry against Joe Biden.
Speaker McCarthy on Tuesday announced he is directing House committees to open an impeachment inquiry against Joe Biden.
McCarthy scrambled to make a bold move as Congressman Matt Gaetz threatened to remove him as House Speaker.
“I am directing our House committees to open a formal impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden. Over the past several months, House Republicans have uncovered serious and credible allegations into President Biden’s conduct—a culture of corruption,” McCarthy said.

ABORTION, ‘SACRAMENT’ OF SATAN You can go to prison because of abortion: prison is the penalty imposed in some nations for those who stop in silent prayer in front of a clinic where children are killed. But you don’t go to jail if you kill an innocent creature. [Snip] No human law can ever trample on the divine and natural Law, which commands: Thou shalt not kill. No nation can hope for prosperity and harmony as long as it allows this daily massacre
