House Republicans warned Hunter Biden on Wednesday that they would begin the process of holding him in contempt of Congress if he does not appear for a deposition next week. Reps. James Comer (R-KY) and Jim Jordan (R-OH) wrote in a brief letter to Hunter Biden's attorney Abbe Lowell that they "will initiate contempt of Congress proceedings" against the president's son if he fails to comply with a subpoena they sent him requiring him to testify in a closed-door setting on Dec. 13.

Another threat with no action. All bark and no bite. If they were serious, contempt charges would be filed the same day he no showed.

Well, if there is a prison term for contempt of Congress I guess I better be getting down there to start mine now. I sure hope the sentense isn't proportionate to the degree of contempt because if it is, I'm in for life without parole.

Republican subpoena processes have become tiresome. And so have the Comer tv appearances where he says they are going to do something--maybe next week, maybe later. By the time the Republicans get around to anything, they will be back in the minority.

You can't be serious. You don't think he would actually say anything in a public forum do you? No he would use the open mic to protest that this is all a pack of lies just to get at his father. No negotiations hold him in contempt and let the Chios fall.

Experts said Hunter Biden's nine new criminal charges will be damning for his father's presidential campaign and makes Joe Biden look like a liar for denying he knew about his son's business dealings. On Thursday, the Department of Justice indicted the first son on nine charges relate to tax, including two felony charges for filing a false return, a felony charge for tax evasion, four failure to pay charges and a further two charges for failure to file.

It was a house-swarming party. Residents of southeastern Mexico were left in shock after a biblical proportion of locusts swallowed the region’s skies, leading many — including local media — to evoke passages from the books of Exodus and Revelation. The plague unfolded this week in Mérida and nearby Sinanché in the Yucatan area, with local authorities struggling to mitigate the midge-like insects. “I won’t open my mouth again!” one X user posted Wednesday in Spanish alongside a photo of the locust invasion.

Rep. James Comer released a statement calling Hunter Biden's tax evasion whistleblowers 'brave' and then accused the President's DOJ of protecting 'the big guy'. Comer's statement comes after it was revealed that the Department of Justice filed nine new criminal charges against U.S. President Joe Biden's son, Hunter, in California. All nine charges relate to tax, including two felony charges for filing a false return, a felony charge for tax evasion, four failure to pay charges, and a further two charges for failure to file. The charges span the 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019 tax years.

A Trump-appointed judge is set to oversee Hunter Biden's tax evasion case as the First Son faces nine new charges filed by the Justice Department on Thursday. Judge Mark Scarsi, an appointee of the former President Donald Trump, has been assigned the case which alleges Hunter was involved in a four-year $1.4m tax evasion scheme. All nine charges relate to tax, including two felony charges for filing a false return, a felony charge for tax evasion, four failure to pay charges, and a further two charges for failure to file. The charges span the 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019 tax years.

Pearl Harbor, Hawaii— Ira “Ike” Schab had just showered, put on a clean sailor’s uniform and closed his locker aboard the USS Dobbin when he heard a call for a fire rescue party. He went topside to see the USS Utah capsizing and Japanese planes in the air. He scurried back below deck to grab boxes of ammunition and joined a daisy chain of sailors feeding shells to an anti-aircraft gun up above. He remembers being only 140 pounds (63.50 kilograms) as a 21-year-old, but somehow finding the strength to lift boxes weighing almost twice that.

As each bus carrying migrants released by the Border Patrol arrived at the center on Wednesday, a simultaneous flow of buses, taxis, and travel vans shuttled newly released migrants to other destinations farther inland — some destined for the Tucson International Airport to begin their journey to cities across the nation.

The director of Disney’s latest flop, The Marvels, Nia DaCosta, is blaming hateful sexist, misogynists for the massive box office failure. What is probably really upsetting Ms. DaCosta is that more men than women bought tickets to the film. Women, like me, are not at all interested in paying for a film starring macho women. No thanks, Disney. Real women like strong men, even fake ones portraying superheroes. The more I read about the antics of the hysterical Karens or view the sickening videos of moronic exhibitionists on TikTok, the more convinced that I am a female chauvinist.

Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D-MI) is ordering Michigan’s state fleet of vehicles to be 100 percent electric by 2040. In a new directive Tuesday, Whitmer announced a move to bring the state’s fleet of vehicles down to zero greenhouse gas emissions in fewer than two decades. The goal, Whitmer wrote in the order, is “essential” for her administration’s green energy agenda. Whitmer wrote in the directive: Michigan is on the cutting-edge of mobility and electrification. Our world-leading auto industry is making the switch to electric, and we continue to attract battery, semiconductor, and clean energy investments from other states and nations. We must usher the future of mobility and clean energy into Michigan

On Dec. 7, 1941, a surprise attack at the Pearl Harbor naval base in Hawaii would officially begin the United States' involvement in World War II. That day, which President Franklin Roosevelt would notably call "a date which will live in infamy," is now recognized each year as National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day. According to the National Park Service, 2,403 service members and civilians were killed and another 1,178 people were injured in the attack. Two U.S. Navy battleships – the USS Arizona and the USS Utah – were also permanently sunk, and 188 aircraft were destroyed. Commemorations are held every year in Hawaii and across the country

The highest number of illegal immigrants in a single day crossed onto U.S. soil on Tuesday. More than 12,000 crossed the border that day. In an interview Wednesday, DHS Secretary Mayorkas claimed that the border security measures congressional Republicans want to put into a foreign aid bill are “violence to our fundamental values.” What are these security measures that are so offensive to the man who lies that the southern border is closed and secured? They are “building a border wall, increasing the number of Border Patrol agents, limiting asylum, and narrowing Biden’s power to parole illegal immigrants.” Talk about bad timing.

Drafting off of an opening question that focused on Haley’s lucrative relationship with wealthy donors and major corporations, Ramaswamy and DeSantis began the fourth GOP presidential debate in Tuscaloosa, Ala., arguing that the newly wealthy career politician is a poor fit for the current populist moment.
