The Numerous Wrongdoings of Hunter: Unraveling the Truth
The Wall Street Journal’s Kimberley A. Strassel sarcastically remarks that it could take US Attorney David Weiss “a week of testimony” to untangle the growing list of special favors, half-truths, and deceptive practices by his office in relation to Hunter Biden. Strassel points to “gaping irregularities” in what was supposed to be a routine plea deal, including an immunity clause that could potentially protect Hunter from further charges. She also criticizes the Department of Justice for hiding behind an “ongoing investigation” to avoid answering questions from Congress. Strassel argues that these revelations provide even more reason for House Republicans to amplify their own investigation.
The Media’s Blind Eye to Biden Corruption
According to Margot Cleveland of The Federalist, the scandal surrounding Hunter Biden’s laptop was never about his personal life but instead focused on Joe Biden’s abuse of power for financial gain. Cleveland criticizes the media for ignoring this aspect of the story and either silencing it or framing it as Russian disinformation. She believes that the media’s refusal to seek and report the truth is the most concerning scandal of all because it allows government corruption to go unchecked and grow.
Dems Eliminating “Classic Liberals”
Jason Chaffetz from Fox News observes that recent House hearings have demonstrated the Democratic Party’s abandonment of certain traditional voting blocs. He highlights the efforts to shut down Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. as evidence of the party purging itself of classical liberals. Chaffetz suggests that these “Kennedy Democrats” may find a new home among conservative and libertarian-leaning Republicans, potentially influencing future elections and the direction of the country.
Xi Jinping’s Climate Change Strategy
The Washington Times’ Clifford D. May argues that President Xi Jinping’s refusal to meet with US climate czar John Kerry during a recent visit to Beijing highlights a fundamental disagreement on climate change. May suggests that Xi’s actions indicate he does not share the Biden administration’s sense of urgency regarding global warming. China may be building coal-powered plants at a rapid pace, but it is also the world leader in manufacturing wind and solar power hardware, as well as dominating the electric-vehicle-battery market. May cautions that the energy transition forced by the Biden administration could further increase America’s dependence on China.
The Impending Sea of Debt
Reason’s J.D. Tuccille humorously suggests that those who enjoy depressing analyses of federal debt should follow the Congressional Budget Office’s reports. Tuccille highlights the CBO’s findings, which consistently describe the current debt levels as “unsustainable” and warn of a potential “fiscal crisis.” Regardless of different assumptions and options, all scenarios point to a future of growing debt and an impaired economy. If current spending and tax rates continue, public debt could exceed 250 percent of GDP by 2053. Tuccille emphasizes the dire consequences for economic growth and American prosperity, leaving it up to our imaginations.
