President Joe Biden said Sunday on CBS’s “60 Minutes” that he was not concerned about his son Hunter Biden’s behavior in any way. Anchor Scott Pelley said, “His son, Hunter, has been a lightning rod for suspicion. Hunter Biden’s former addiction to crack cocaine led to a life he describes as nonstop depravity. He has also acknowledged a federal investigation into his taxes. Congress investigated Hunter Biden’s job with a Ukrainian company at the time that his father ran Ukrainian policy in the Obama administration. A Republican investigation, however, uncovered no wrongdoing by then-Vice President Biden.”

While there are attacks against Republicans for moving illegal immigrants out of red states, Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, is noting President Joe Biden has been doing it without attacks from those same liberals amid the record border migration. "Right now, the biggest human trafficker on the face of the planet is Joseph Robinette Biden Jr.," Cruz told Fox News' "Hannity" on Friday night. "He has transported hundreds of thousands, millions of illegal aliens, populating them now, putting many of them in red states. He's happy to put them in red states where it's not the rich people's concerns, it's the...

Since Monday, Haiti has been sinking into chaos in widespread anti-government protests that have turned violent in parts of Port-au-Prince, as well as rural cities like Petit Goave and Gonaives. The protests had been intensifying for weeks, stoked by the rising cost of living, a scarcity of U.S. dollars, political manipulation and the lack of fuel at the pumps after two suppliers, providing 40% of the market, stopped ordering. “This incident is simply unacceptable. The looted food was intended to feed nearly 100,000 schoolchildren until the end of the year and provide emergency aid to the most vulnerable families in...

Washington, D.C. Newsroom, Sep 15, 2022 / 15:55 pm The Senate has delayed a highly-anticipated vote to enshrine same-sex marriage into law until after the midterm elections this November. The news was announced by lawmakers Thursday after weeks of bipartisan deliberations that left some Republicans with objections to the act’s potential religious liberty implications. The bill, titled the Respect for Marriage Act, follows the House version that was passed earlier in July. It is being led by Sens. Tammy Baldwin (D-Wisconsin). and Susan Collins (R-Maine), who are working across aisles to gain at least 10 GOP Senate votes needed to...

President Joe Biden said that it “remains to be seen” whether he will run for a second term. Biden was asked during an interview with “60 Minutes” last Thursday whether he has made a “firm decision” about running for re-election in 2024. “Look, my intention, as I said to begin with, is that I would run again. But it’s just an intention. But is it a firm decision that I run again? That remains to be seen,” Biden said. The president was asked if he had committed to running for a second term by “60 minutes” correspondent Scott Pelley in...

Reach out to the marginalized, ordain women, engage the youth. Those were among the themes that emerged from a survey of North Jersey Catholics released last week by the Archdiocese of Newark, spiritual home to 1.3 million worshippers in Bergen, Essex, Hudson and Union counties. In hundreds of in-person and online listening sessions this year, more than 15,000 local Catholics said the church needs to make fundamental reforms to become welcoming to women, LGBTQ parishioners, immigrants and the young people who have increasingly strayed from religious life. "They believe that the Church is out of touch today," said a 39-page...

A lithium battery from her sibling’s new electric scooter caused the blaze that killed an 8-year-old girl in Queens, fire officials and neighbors said Sunday — as residents recalled the frantic futile effort to save the child. “The firefighter took the girl out first. He was carrying her in his arms,” said resident Daniel Calle, 27. “She looked like she was asleep. “They were working diligently on her. They were pumping her chest. … But she wasn’t moving.” Shaken resident Dora Dellis, 72, added, “There were about six or seven people around her. “The [landlord’s wife] was crying.” She was...

'In order to understand we have chosen the path of dialogue,' said Pope Francis when asked about China.(LifeSiteNews) – Pope Francis has described Communist China as “not undemocratic” and refused to support Hong Kong’s Cardinal Joseph Zen as he prepares to go on trial in the country on September 19. Speaking to reporters on board the papal plane from Kazakhstan to come on Thursday, Pope Francis fielded questions about China and the Vatican’s relation with the Communist state. “To understand China takes a century, and we do not live for a century,” he said vaguely. He described the Chinese mentality...

I really love this song it has such a great meaning.

Nur-Sultan, September 14, Interfax - Modern-day challenges and attempts to build the world order without relying upon moral values as a pillar have resulted not only in the loss of the notion of justice in international relations, but have also led to severe confrontation and military conflicts, Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Russia said. "Food, energy and economic problems stemming from attempts to build the world order without relying upon moral values have added to the challenges spawned by the pandemic of the coronavirus infection. Over the past two decades, these attempts have resulted not only in the loss...

Biden: American troops would defend Taiwan if invaded by China. Whitehouse tried to walk it back later

Actor John James, who depicted President Joe Biden in the film My Son Hunter, considered in an interview with Breitbart News Editor-in-Chief Alex Marlow if he would be blacklisted by Hollywood and the broader entertainment industry for his role in the film dramatized events related to Hunter Biden’s life. “Will I ever work again?” James asked in a discussion aired on Monday’s edition of the Breitbart News Daily podcast. “I don’t know. I really don’t know. I don’t know if I’m toxic, now. Even if they don’t want to cancel me — whether or not I’m toxic because of this...

Queen Elizabeth did not want a “long, boring” funeral. The late monarch – who passed away at the age of 96 on Sept. 8 following a 70-year reign – is set to be laid to rest on Monday in an hour-long service, but the former Archbishop of York said Queen Elizabeth did not want a “long, boring” funeral. He has insisted that mourners will be “lifted to glory” as they attend or watch the funeral on television. He said: “The Queen does not and did not want what you call long, boring services. You’re not going to find boredom, but...

Jake Tapper: So you're struggling to process the 2,500 migrants sent to you from Texas. Meanwhile, the El Paso sector of the border seeas an average of 1,700 migrants crossing every single day. A record 1.9 million migrants have been apprehended on the south-west border this fiscal year alone. Even if if you think what the Governors are doing is horrific, it seems like you agree that this is a crisis that needs more attention from the Biden administration. Eric Adams: No, I believe...

It was only June when unvaccinated Canadians were finally allowed to leave the country, for reasons unclear to anyone. The vaccine doesn’t prevent transmission, so how did it make sense to keep the unvaccinated behind the frozen curtain? It didn’t. But that’s Canada. It’s completely lost the plot with COVID and chucked all its previously freedom-loving ideals out the nearest window, eh? America wouldn’t behave like that, right? Except we are. Tennis player Novak Djokovic couldn’t travel to America to compete in the US Open in August because he’s unvaccinated. No foreigner may enter the United States without being fully...

CNN — Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, speaking in Kansas on Sunday, gave every indication he intends to capitalize on the latest wave of attention that has followed from him sending migrants to Massachusetts last week. “This is a crisis. It’s now getting a little bit more attention,” DeSantis said, earning a standing ovation as he talked about the southern border and nodding to the headlines he instigated when he flew 50 migrants from the border to Martha’s Vineyard. The reception DeSantis received in Kansas enforced the perception that last week’s ploy accomplished more than raising awareness for the border crisis...

Outgoing Arizona state House Speaker Rusty Bowers slammed Republican candidates who back former President Donald Trump's false claims that the 2020 election was stolen. Bowers, who lost his bid for the state Senate last month, shared his concerns regarding the slate of GOP nominees, as well as proposed legislation he says would make it easier for the state legislature to reject election results. "The legislature, after the election, could dismiss the election ... And I said, welcome to fascism,” Bowers told CNN for its documentary American Coup: The January 6th Investigation. As House speaker, Bowers effectively killed the bill by...

May 27 was a dark day for Ukraine. That was the day Lyman, the last free town north of the Donets River in eastern Ukraine’s Donbas River, finally fell to Russian forces. Capturing Lyman helped the Russian army to consolidate its position in Donbas and secure supply lines across the region. Lyman was a domino. As it fell, it knocked down Severodonetsk, the last free city east of the Donets. And as Severodonetsk fell, it toppled Lysychansk, its twin city on the opposite side of the river. Nearly four months later, the dominos are falling in the opposite direction. A...
