Former President Donald Trump has called on special counsel Jack Smith to immediately drop all charges against him in the Mar-a-Lago classified documents case after President Joe Biden was found to have wilfully retained sensitive national security materials but faces no charges. “They should immediately drop the case against me,” President Trump told Fox News in an interview on Feb. 8, shortly after the release of special counsel Robert Hur’s 388-page report that found President Biden “wilfully retained and disclosed classified materials” when he was a private citizen after the end of his term as vice president. Unlike President Trump,...

Former U.S. prosecutor Chuck Rosenberg knew that defending the Special Counsel report on Biden docs would make him “unbelievably unpopular” on Morning Joe, Friday morning. At issue is the report from Special Counsel Robert Hur, which concluded President Joe Biden should not be charged for his mishandling of classified material in no small part because of his mental decline, describing the commander-in-chief as “a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.” ,p> The hosts and assembled pundits of Morning Joe were nearly unanimously in contemptuous agreement that Hur’s report unfairly included “gratuitous” partisan shots at Biden because the Trump-appointed...

Representative Dan Goldman (D-NY) said on Friday broadcast of “CNN This Morning” that former President Donald Trump made “more mistakes” than President Joe Biden and was “a danger to our country.” Partial transcript as follows: PHIL MATTINGLY: Do you think the president helped himself last night in his response? GOLDMAN: I do. I think what the president standing out there really powerfully explaining how absurd it is that, there would be accusations that he would not remember when his son died, which was, you know, such a critical moment. And and it was important, I think, for him to show,...

A significant problem with Egyptology's current approach to the tomb of Tutankhamun is the assumption that Howard Carter had all the answers, and that now, with online access to most of his Griffith Institute notes, all the data is to hand and the tomb has effectively had its say. Nothing could be further from the truth. Not only were Carter's investigations very much a work in progress, with conclusions subject to constant change as yet another piece of the jigsaw fell into place; it is increasingly clear that much of what the excavator did and thought in relation to the...

Qatar, the oil-rich Middle Eastern nation that provides shelter and cash to the Hamas terror group’s top leaders, has spent nearly $6 billion since 2007 lobbying the American government and funneling cash to the United States’ top universities, funding that is generating scrutiny in Congress. With Qatar emerging as a central mediator in the United States’ attempts to reach a hostage deal between Israel and Hamas, Doha’s decades-long influence peddling operation in America is raising concerns about the country’s ties to the Iran-backed terror group. Qatar has given or contracted more than $5.6 billion to 61 American schools since 2007,...

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) is rejecting the idea that Democrats played dirty during this week’s failed GOP effort to impeach the Homeland Security secretary, arguing that Republican leaders control the floor — and are solely accountable for the management of it. “It’s not our responsibility to let House Republicans know which members will or will not be present on the House floor on any other day or in connection with any given vote,” Jeffries told reporters Wednesday in the Capitol.

Russian leader Vladimir Putin said in his interview with Tucker Carlson this week that he asked U.S. President Bill Clinton in 2000 if Russia could join NATO and, while Clinton allegedly said he was personally warm to the idea, his advisers decided it was politically impossible. “I asked him: ‘Bill, do you think if Russia asked to join NATO, do you think it would happen?’ Suddenly he said, ‘You know, it’s interesting. I think so,’” Putin recalled. “But in the evening, when we met for dinner, he said: ‘You know, I’ve talked to my team, no, it’s not possible now,’”...

After considerable speculation, Rep. Matt Rosendale (R-MT) has decided that he will indeed challenge Democratic Sen. Jon Tester, hoping for a rematch of 2018 when Tester beat Rosendale by 3.5 points. Montana is considered one of the top pick-up seats for Republicans in 2024, if not the top pick-up, along with the Ohio Senate race. Not only are the stakes high for this must-win race, but Rosendale's candidacy also creates a messy situation for Senate Republicans, including and especially National Republican Senate Committee (NRSC) Chairman Steve Daines, who is also from Montana. Daines has already endorsed Tim Sheehy for the...

An Iranian asylum seeker was shot dead by police as he charged at an officer while wielding an axe, the culmination of a four-hour hostage-taking aboard a Swiss regional train service. Nearly 100 members of the emergency services responded to a hostage-taking aboard a local train service stopped Essert-sous-Champvent train station after passengers managed to contact police to alert them of the situation. A “screaming” 32-year-old Iranian asylum seeker armed with an axe and a knife had tied up at least some of the 14 passengers and the driver of the Sainte-Croix to Yverdon train, leading to a four-hour hostage...

Three years into Joe Biden’s presidency, reporters who cover the administration know what to expect when first lady Jill Biden appears: nothing. The president, 81, has held the fewest press conferences or formal interviews of any modern commander-in-chief — leaving Biden’s jaunts across the White House South Lawn to and from his Marine One helicopter as the best chance for the press corps to get some face time. When Biden is alone, he is far easier to bait with shouted questions, sometimes shuffling over around midnight for a give-and-take — despite the unflattering overhead TV lights forcing him to hold...

The cost of housing remains a hot-button topic with both Millennials and Gen-Z. Plenty of articles and commentaries address the concern of supply and affordability, with the younger generations getting hit the hardest. Such was the subject of this recent CNET article:“The housing affordability crisis means it’s taking longer for people to become homeowners — and that’s especially impacting millennials and Gen Zers, economically disadvantaged families, and minority groups. There’s not one single driver of the crisis, but several colliding elements that put homeownership out of reach: rising home prices, high mortgage interest rates and limited housing supply. That’s on...

From a political point of view, Thursday’s Special Counsel report is a perfect storm of bad news for His Fraudulency Joe Biden and an equally perfect storm of good news for former President Donald Trump. Trump could not have asked for a better outcome than the one delivered by Special Counsel Robert Hur. We’ll take these one by one: Our investigation uncovered evidence that President Biden willfully retained and disclosed classified materials after his vice presidency when he was a private citizen. These materials included (1) marked classified documents about military and foreign policy in Afghanistan, and (2) notebooks containing...

Under intense pressure from farmers, the European Commission has dropped key passages in a proposal for a new 2040 goal for cutting greenhouse gas pollution. “All sectors” would need to contribute to the effort, the EU executive's plan says. But a mention of a possible 30 percent cut to agricultural pollution between 2015 and 2040, which was in previous drafts seen by POLITICO, had been removed. Also excised were recommendations for citizens to make changes to their behavior, like eating less meat, and a push to end fossil fuel subsidies. Farmers' protests have broken out in many countries across Europe...

If the president is too old and demented to be charged, he’s too old and demented to hold the most powerful position in the world.As expected, the panel on “Morning Joe” spent today attacking the devastating special counsel report into Joe Biden’s decades-long hoarding of classified documents. One of the arguments made by John Heilemann and others was that the special counsel could have written the report without referring to Biden as an “elderly man with poor memory.”But he couldn’t have, right? Because then Hur would have been compelled to recommend charges against the president. There is no third choice....
