It's been a rather busy few days for the Biden administration's Department of Justice (DOJ), especially when it comes to damning revelations that Attorney General Merrick Garland and David Weiss, the U.S. Attorney assigned to the Hunter Biden case, may have colluded to mislead Congress. The White House looks to be as tight-lipped as possible about taking any questions on the matter, as evidenced by Tuesday's press briefing.    To recap, there has been a conflicting back-and-forth between Garland and Weiss as to if the latter had full authority to charge Hunter Biden. Weiss, according to IRS whistleblower Gary Shapley, had told several people…

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel’s leading anti-American protagonist, is at it again.  The Israelis, presumably at Netanyahu’s direction, are leaking sensitive information regarding secret talks between the United States and Iran.  The talks are designed to curtail Tehran’s nuclear program, liberate three American prisoners; and end proxy attacks on U.S. forces in Syria.  Netanyahu visited Israeli Aerospace Industries last week and stated that any understanding between the United States and Iran would be “unacceptable to us.” Netanyahu is particularly incensed that, in return for Iran’s positive response, the United States would give Iran greater access to billions of its…

At Parliament Hill in London Saturday, there was a demonstration on behalf of jailed Wikileaks founder Julian Assange. Present was the famed rendering of Assange, Chelsea Manning, and Edward Snowden made by sculptor Davide Domino. The statue includes an empty chair for the next whistleblower. I had the honor of standing on that chair to give a short address: I have a confession to make. Once, like a lot of journalists, I didn’t like Julian Assange. It wasn’t just that Wikileaks was breaking one huge story after another. He had fab hair. He wore skinny jeans. He even modeled at fashion week! What…

A funny thing happened last night, at a remarkable event in London in celebration of free speech with Russell Brand and Michael Shellenberger. Before the proceedings Michael suggested we give prepared remarks. I wrote a speech, tinkering with it at night on the plane over, then all day after landing. At the event Michael stood before the large crowd and extemporaneously delivered a rousing address. I slid what I wrote under a chair. Though I did end up mumbling a few things from memory, this is the whole speech, as written: It’s heartening to see so many faces here in…

On the day President Biden’s Justice Department cut their "get out of jail free" plea bargain with Hunter Biden — helping him avoid other allegations, for: money laundering, bribery and human trafficking — we completed our new national poll. The bottom line? Donald Trump now leads Joe Biden to 49% to 44%. Our poll was completed right after Joe Biden’s approved federal indictment of his leading political opponent. This national poll of 1,000 likely voters (+/-3.1% at the 95% confidence interval), was completed between June 15-19. President Biden is, in effect, making Donald Trump the "Nelson Mandela of America" —  a victim of political…
