Hunter Biden’s abandoned laptop is filled with contracts and agreements between him and foreign business partners that could shine new light on his business dealings, and potentially implicate his father, insiders around the first son told The Post. Hundreds of documents are littered among the tens of thousands of emails contained on the laptop — but the files were not downloaded onto the device, and investigators cannot open most of them. During his father’s vice presidency and after, Hunter Biden and his family made millions of dollars from foreign sources trading on the family name, according to whistleblowers and bank...

Shayla Tapp was in the shower at her Roxboro home when she heard the knocking on her door. “I am in the shower,” she said she shouted. “I said it like three times.” Tapp, 36, grabbed a towel and was drying off as she stepped over the tub and out of the bathroom. Next she saw her backdoor fly off the hinges as about six police officers with guns drawn raced toward her shouting and cursing. “Shut the f — up,” the officers yelled, Tapp said. “Get the f — down.” Officers had been at Tapp’s house earlier that day...

His challenging behavior resulted in expulsion from his Hudson Valley public school two years ago. Melissa and her husband scrambled to keep their son in education, turning to Otto Specht, a local Waldorf school, whose tuition fees, as well as the added...

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission has charged a Plant City minor with animal cruelty after seeing the worst kind of clout-chasing video circulating on social media. The video, recorded last Thursday in a Plant City Hardee's parking lot, shows a group of teens handling a juvenile alligator roughly. One uses the gator's teeth to puncture a can of Arizona Twisted Tea, then shotgun the alcoholic beverage with the young reptile still clamped to the aluminum can. “The lack of respect and responsibility shown toward this animal was disappointing to see. … This serves as a strong reminder of...

When you buy a car, a piece of furniture, or a pleasure boat, you typically don’t ask the seller, “Is the manufacturer accredited?” We buy all kinds of things, even houses, despite no third party assessing the quality or integrity of the good or service being sold. Why do we behave differently with higher education? Informal higher-ed assessments abound. U.S. News, Forbes, Washington Monthly, the Wall Street Journal, and others assess the quality and reputation of colleges, and those judgments are eagerly read by the public. (I know, as one who formerly directed one of those rankings.) The federal government...

During an interview with SiriusXM’s “The Megyn Kelly Show” that took place on Thursday and aired on Friday, 2024 Republican presidential candidate Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) said that we have “a government-induced inflation crisis, starting in March of 2020,” with spending under the CARES Act and other spending in 2020 by the Trump administration that President Joe Biden added to when he took office.

FIRST ON FOX: A GOP senator is calling for a disciplinary inquiry into Hunter Biden’s legal team after a judge accused one lawyer of lying about her identity to court officials.

Pete Ricketts, R-Neb., told Fox News Digital in a statement. "There needs to be accountability for any misconduct or favoritism, including Hunter Biden’s own legal team. Faith in our justice system has been gravely damaged by the Biden administration’s mishandling of recent cases...

This was the week Joe Biden's rotten House Of Cards began teetering on the brink of collapse. While Netflix's fictional U.S. President Kevin Spacey was found not guilty of sex charges by a jury in London, in another courtroom 3,500 miles away the web of lies and secrecy around alleged corruption in the Biden family was unravelling spectacularly. A judge in Delaware threw out a disgraceful sweetheart deal which would have seen Biden's degenerate son Hunter walking free after pleading guilty to tax evasion, gun and drug charges, which would normally have led to serious jail time. Judge Maryellen Noreika...

A series of planned commands sent to NASA’s Voyager 2 spacecraft July 21 inadvertently caused the antenna to point 2 degrees away from Earth. As a result, Voyager 2 is currently unable to receive commands or transmit data back to Earth.... Voyager 2 is programmed to reset its orientation multiple times each year to keep its antenna pointing at Earth; the next reset will occur on Oct. 15, which should enable communication to resume.
