Ethics, expertise and fiduciary duty be damned. Vice President Biden flew his son around the world on Air Force Two selling...

Officials in Ukraine reportedly opened an investigation into an energy company that employed former Vice President Joe Biden’s son long before President Donald Trump’s July 25 nothing-burger of a telephone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky that spurred the Democrats’ haphazard, increasingly Kafkaesque impeachment inquiry.

The information came last week from investigative reporter John Solomon, who recently was hired as a Fox News...

Imagine if you will a world where one of President Donald J. Trump’s sons with no experience in the gas and oil business was appointed to the board of the Ukrainian energy company Burisma which then paid him $50,000 a month.

Former Vice President Joe Biden told Iowa Radio he would not pardon President Donald Trump if the president is impeached and removed from office. He was making a clear reference to President Gerald Ford pardoning President Richard Nixon once Nixon was impeached.
