'The public's not going to pay attention
to that': Biden downplays House GOP's
probes into Hunter and says he believes
the classified documents in his home were
'things from 1974' and 'stray papers'
in post State of the Union sit-down

President Joe Biden said Wednesday that he didn't believe the House GOP's probe into his son Hunter and brother James' foreign business dealings would have an impact on his presidency. 'The public's not going to pay attention to that. They want these guys to do something,' Biden said. 'It's not going to go very far.' The president sat down for a wide-ranging post-State of the Union interview with PBS NewsHour's Judy Woodruff, which included the admission that he hadn't made a final decision to run in 2024. 'I haven't made my decision, that's my intention, but I have not made that decision firmly yet,' he said.

On Thursday, Fox News reported that a second Republican council member from New Jersey was assassinated in the span of a week. The first was councilwoman Eunice Dwumfour from Sayreville, New Jersey who was brutally shot and killed outside her townhome on February 1. Over a week later, Republican Milord councilman Russell Heller was killed outside his workplace. For all the leftist media’s crowing about “attacks on democracy,” you would think the three evening networks newscasts would be all over this story. Unfortunately, all three ignored the story during their Thursday broadcasts.
After the broadcast networks ignored the House Oversight Committee hearing into Twitter’s censorship of the New York Post’s reporting of Hunter Biden’s laptop on their Wednesday night newscasts, ABC’s Good Morning America and NBC’s Today followed suit on Thursday. In contrast, CBS Mornings gave viewers two minutes and 35 seconds on the hearing that, while it barely scratched the surface, raised the bar (as opposed to mocking it as CNN did).
House Republicans have upped their investigation into the Biden family by demanding Hunter, his business partner and the President's brother James turn over documents related to their business deals.
Kentucky Republican Rep. James Comer of Kentucky wants the files as part of their probe into how much Biden knew about his son's business dealings and the extent of the family's influence peddling around the world.
The latest request is focused on the time period between January 20, 2009, when Joe Biden was sworn in as Vice President, until January 20, 2021, when he took the reins of the White House.
Barry Diller has run two studios, Paramount and Fox, and believes (correctly) that the Oscars and the movie business are both dead.
Los Angeles Magazine scooped up all the Diller doomspeaking…
“It’s an antiquity,” the current IAC and Expedia chairman told Firing Line‘s Margaret Hoover of the awards process. Citing the Riseborough Affair, Diller noted the internal collapse the movie and awards-show industry have long been suffering. “All awards ceremonies were based on this hierarchical process of a movie going to a theater, building up some word of mouth if it was successful, having that word of mouth carry itself over,” Diller said. “That path no longer exists.”
A Republican councilman in Milford, New Jersey, was fatally shot Wednesday, a week after another councilperson was killed.
Fifty-one-year-old PSE&G worker Russell D. Heller was allegedly killed by an ex-employee in Somerset, Patch.com reported Thursday.(Tweet/Photos) Authorities are still investigating the case, but said the shooting was not politically connected to Heller’s elected office or political affiliations.
Zachary T. Rich, the Director of Hunterdon County Board of Commissioners, said in a statement that Heller would be deeply missed, adding he “was a loving and caring father to his daughter and a dedicated and loyal friend to all of those who had the pleasure of knowing him.”
Critics are claiming that the Biden administration is in bed with Big Tech executives which could explain the president’s less-than-enthusiastic pursuit of anti-trust legislation and the fact that bigwigs like Apple’s CEO Tim Cook effectively have a “staff badge” for the West Wing.
According to the Daily Mail, an analysis of White House visitor logs between July 2021 and September 2022 shows that Big Tech senior executives visited the president’s abode at least 38 times. That’s an average of 2.5 meetings per month.
Cook, for example, visited the White House five times during that time period. Apple sent their executives a total of 16 times. Google and its parent company Alphabet sent
The House Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government held a hearing on Thursday beginning at Noon Eastern.
Here is the witness list for Thursday (ignore the lie at the top of the tweet): (Tweet) Elliott Williams was a former Deputy Assistant Attorney General under the Barack Obama regime in addition to his position at the Raben Group.
He also serves as a legal analyst for CNN.
During the hearing, Williams was defending the FBI colluding with Big Tech to censor conservatives and the truth.
Former Vice President Mike Pence has been subpoenaed by the special counsel overseeing probes into former President Donald Trump, according to multiple sources familiar with the matter.
It's not immediately clear what information the subpoena from special counsel Jack Smith is seeking, but it follows months of negotiations between federal prosecutors and Pence's legal team.Smith was appointed in November to oversee the investigation into Trump's potential mishandling of classified documents after leaving the presidency
The Clintons are back!
The Clinton machine is back in action and restarted its global pay-to-play operation a few months ago.
“Very excited for the return of Clinton Global Initiative next week — now is the time for us to work together and get good things done for people and the planet.” Former President Bill Clinton said in September. (Tweet/Video) Hillary Clinton this week traveled to India to announce the launch of the first global ‘climate resilience’ fund.

The White House on Thursday blasted the new House subcommittee on 'weaponization' of government with a scorching letter that compared it to red-baiting probes of the 1950s.
'Today, Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan is launching the Fox News reboot of the House Un-American Activities Committee with a political stunt that weaponizes Congress to carry out the priorities of extreme MAGA Republicans in Congress,' wrote White House spokesman Ian Sams in a four-page memo to 'interested parties.'
The blast also referenced the infamous Wisconsin Sen. Joseph McCarthy hearings that followed 1950s House hearings meant to root out communists in government, Hollywood, and other areas.
Hunter Biden’s very expensive and high-powered legal team denied House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer’s (R-KY) letter demanding the president’s son disclose troves of documents and communications relevant to the investigation into the Biden family for wire fraud, tax evasion, and money laundering, among six other potential violations.
Attorney Abbe Lowell, who represents high-profile individuals engulfed in political scandals, such as Bill Clinton and Jared Kushner, told Comer that his demands lacked “legitimate legislative and oversight basis” to request such relevant information.
During a portion of an interview with CBS News National Security Correspondent David Martin released on Wednesday, Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin stated that in response to the Chinese spy balloon that flew over the country last week, the United States ensured that its nuclear bases “were buttoned down” and that “movement was limited and communications were limited so that we didn’t expose any capability unnecessarily.” Austin also stated that the buttoning down applied to nuclear bases all across the United States.
Martin asked, “You don’t know what it was looking for, but you certainly know what you were concerned about it looking for.

Sen. John Fetterman was hospitalized Wednesday night after feeling lightheaded at the end of a Senate Democratic retreat, his office said.
The symptoms do not appear to be the result of a new stroke, one of which Fetterman suffered in May 2022 just days before winning Pennsylvania’s Senate Democratic primary.
Fetterman is “in good spirits and talking with his staff and family,” at the hospital, where he will remain overnight while doctors undergo further testing, his communications director, Joe Calvello, said in a Wednesday night statement.
The lingering effects of Fetterman’s 2022 stroke have left him with speech difficulties and trouble processing questions

Utah Sen. Mitt Romney told fellow Republican Rep. George Santos, "You don't belong here," in a tense exchange at the State of the Union address Tuesday night as the New York congressman faces numerous investigations.

Will “Lia” Thomas made headlines during the 2021-2022 academic year for crushing his competition in NCAA women’s swimming, sparking widespread outrage. After years of being a mediocre swimmer on the men’s team, Thomas woke up one morning and identified as transgender, transitioned, joined the women’s team, and started breaking records against his female teammates and tournament competitors. Since robbing real women of opportunities wasn’t enough for him, he also disrespected his teammates by exposing his male genitalia to them in the locker room.
California Secretary of State Dr. Shirley N. Weber said that the Golden State can “lead the nation” by passing reparations for the descendants of black slaves.
California entered the Union as a free state on Sep. 9, 1850.
The state has been considering reparations under a law proposed by Weber, then in the State Assembly, and signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) in 2020, during the height of the frenzy around the Black Lives Matter movement. A committee was formed to consider proposals for reparations and to make recommendations to the legislature. As Breitbart News has reported, reparations could amount to $230,000 per recipient,

With His SOTU Ukraine Tie, Mitch McConnell

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell has never shied away from shilling for Ukraine. But for Tuesday night’s State of the Union address, the Kentucky Republican took it up a notch with a wardrobe statement piece.
While attending President Joe Biden’s largely incoherent speech, McConnell forwent America’s red, white, and blue, instead wearing a tie emblazoned with the colors of the Ukrainian flag: blue and yellow. Like a NASCAR driver, McConnell was apparently just sporting the hues of the brand he represents.
A Lakeview man says he was recently robbed twice: First, by a pair of muggers, then by his bank.
Much of 24-year-old Colin Johnson’s savings account was drained by thieves who used a popular banking app to do the damage; one that is now under fire by lawmakers. (Snip) In the months that followed the robbery, Citibank declined Johnson’s multiple requests for refunds, as well as his appeals, arguing that Johnson had authorized the money transfers.
This, despite Johnson sharing with Citibank’s fraud department the police report documenting the crime that occurred.
