Joe and Jill Biden visited Trinity College in Dublin today. They attended a ceremony where (shockingly I may add) Hunter Biden was awarded the “Gold Medal for Outstanding Contribution for Public Discourse.”

EXCLUSIVE: The available evidence strongly suggests that Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley's office committed criminal misconduct in public office by covering up a $4.56 million budget gap until after the day after Crowley was elected Governor of Wisconsin in an effort to help his campaign. heartlandpost.com/coverup-of…

The local Wisconsin brewery that just offered to sponsor Jennifer Welch after 25 others have cut ties with her, is the same company that pledged to give out free beer if President Trump is assassinated.
You can't make this stuff up.
Jennifer Welch says her advertisers were "harassed" into dropping the show.
"Sadly, some of the advertisers have caved. But we still have other advertisers, and we're still standing."
Little companies are apparently stepping in to try to save them.
They read a message from a brewery in Wisconsin that called Charlie Kirk "an awful human being" and wanted to help sponsor the show.
Welch called that "so sweet," then did a shout out for the company for free.
At last count, around 30 sponsors have dropped the podcast.
It's not because they were harassed. It's because these women are toxic.
But hey if you're a little company, just drop these hateful hags a message bashing Charlie. Maybe that'll get you a free ad read.

Democrats complain about the conservative Supreme Court and want to rig it by "expanding" it. Yet in decisions like Calais, and Grants Pass, SCOTUS is restoring basic governance to Democrat cities that would otherwise collapse due to their dysfunctional ideology. You're welcome.
Santa Monica has WON its lawsuit to preserve its voting system against the aggressive tactics of a Malibu lawyer who has sued towns across California. The Supreme Court's ruling in Calais (thanks Trump!) held that racial gerrymandering is unconstitutional. westsidecurrent.com/santa_mo…

This. Is. Beautiful.
I'm a hairdresser. For six weeks, a young man booked a $25 haircut every Friday.
His hair didn't need cutting. By week three, I was trimming the air.
He barely spoke at first. Then every week, he tried a little more.
"How's your day?" "Busy weekend?" "Do you like your job?"
Like he was practising.
On the sixth Friday, I asked him straight out.
I said, "You don't need a haircut. Why are you really here?"
He went red.
He took a folded piece of paper out of his pocket and showed me...

I once befriended a wealthy Saudi businessman in DC who was building an Islamic Studies Institute. Had meals with him, tutored him in English, got to know his family. I considered him a friend.
I later learned that he had been deported. His so-called Institute was a money laundering front for Al-Queida.

Lisa Demuth was the most pro-gun leader in history. She held the line even when she was called a liar by the parents of dead children. There are people convicted for threatening to kill her.
Yet many gun owners didn’t vote because of…high gas prices. Many gun owners are going to be surprised at what happens now. Minnesotans are really broadly incapable of critical thinking.

🚨 TWO VERY DIFFERENT REALITIES IN AMERICA.
🇺🇸 American STEM graduates, buried in student debt, sending out hundreds of applications, desperate for their first opportunity.
Meanwhile…
🇮🇳 Indian students on OPT are being handed lists of U.S. startups willing to sponsor foreign workers.
Here’s what should outrage EVERY American:
OPT requires NO labor market test.
Employers don’t have to prove a single qualified American graduate was unavailable.
Why are we making it easier to recruit from abroad while our own graduates can’t get a foot in the door?
CONTACT THESE STARTUPS BEFORE YOUR OPT CLOCK RUNS OUT
These are list of companies that have explicitly stated that THEY WILL SPONSOR your VISA
So if you're an INDIAN student in the US, you might want to take a look at these

Waiting for any Democrat to explain to me how this makes my family safer.
Seriously, can anyone offer a rational defense of this law?
🚨A new law went into effect in Virginia that makes it easier for accused criminals to seal their crimes from public view.
Supporters insist the idea behind the law was to help accused and convicted criminals get jobs and housing. But the new law also makes it more difficult for the public to find out if prosecutors botched or dropped cases and allowed criminals to walk free.
There have been some cases where 7News has shown Fairfax County Commonwealth’s Attorney Steve Descano and his office making major mistakes or dropping charges in cases like Abdul Jalloh, who is now accused of murdering a single mother – and a total stranger - earlier this year.
But under this new Clean Slate law, those mistakes, dropped charges, or lenient plea deals can be hidden from the public.
For instance, today, this new law blocked 7News from seeing what happened in a sexual assault case.

🚨 They didn't lose the child's age. They were trained to leave it out.
Under federal immigration law, sexual abuse of a minor is an aggravated felony. For a noncitizen, it means mandatory detention, deportation and a permanent bar from ever coming back. In my 24 years at ICE ERO, those were the cases we never let slide.
The key element is the child's age. Take the age out of the conviction and you take out the aggravated felony.
According to the House Judiciary Committee report, the Bronx DA's 2019 plea-bargaining guide told prosecutors in these cases to "offer something that does not have the child's age as an element."
Think about what that means. A grown man commits a sex crime against a child. He pleads to something that, on paper, could have been against an adult. The record that reaches ICE no longer shows a child victim. The removal case falls apart, and he stays here.
The child didn't get a plea deal. The child gets to live with it, and maybe in the same neighborhood as him.
This came out Oct. 26. Two weeks later there's been no outrage from the Bronx DA, the AG or the networks. Nothing. @claudiatenney @JudiciaryGOP @Jim_Jordan @itsyourgov @NMalliotakis @EliseStefanik

🚨 JUST IN: SecWar Pete Hegseth DISMANTLES Thomas Massie's Articles of Impeachment against him
Iran, the cartels, Maduro, Yemen: "Every one was a LAWFUL operation, ordered by the commander-in-chief, then ordered by myself, notified to Congress and executed by American warriors who did their jobs."
"High crimes": "These are not high crimes. This is the job. And it's the job well done!"
Targeting civilians: "That is a lie, and that is a slander...The only people who target civilians are the terrorists that we hunt."
"A farce. They mock the Constitution, they attack the chain of command, and they criminalize the warfighters who execute lawful orders."
Massie's articles of impeachment are filled with errors and false accusations!
And it's purely a POLITICAL vote requiring just a simple majority in the House.
What a great way to spend the House's time, impeaching the SecWar loved by the troops 🤡

If Democrats were actually capable of delivering affordability, the deepest blue cities would be the most affordable places in the country.
Instead, all they can come up with is some half-witted tax scheme to try and bribe the lower/middle class with a few crumbs of subsidies to convince them to not flee.
It's like, "Yeah we're completely incapable of actually lowering your electric bill, but how about a $75 'electric rebate' check every month and some free LED light bulbs. All it will take is an extra billion in taxes on the high-value businesses that haven't left yet. Doesn't that sound great?"
Literally this is how every single 'affordability' problem is approached here. Of course everything just gets more expensive. But none of them care because they're all making money skimming the nonprofits who administer their redistributionist schemes, and they don't have to worry about being reelected.
You try and explain the obvious flaws in this reasoning to them -- most notably that they've been doing this for years now and literally nothing has gotten more affordable -- and it's just met with blank stares. This is the absolute best they can do.
If it doesn't work, that means the problem simply cannot be solved. Which, of course, is justification for even MORE taxes and redistribution.

Just a bald faced lie.
The premiums have gone up every year from the beginning. They were simply hidden by subsidies passed by Congress.
When the subsidies expired and were not renewed, the actual premium costs were revealed.
Democrats simply LIE LIE LIE about the impact of the policies they champion.
