CBS anchor confronts Biden's attorney with important question that crumbles his narrative about the special counsel report | Blaze Media
CBS anchor confronts Biden's attorney with important question that crumbles his narrative about the special counsel report | Blaze Media:
In fact, Bauer does not dispute the truthfulness of Hur's report. Rather, he is upset that Hur included details about Biden's memory in the report. That's an important distinction.
But as former U.S. Attorney Chuck Rosenberg explained, details about Biden's memory were critical to Hur's report because the special counsel needed to explain why he is not prosecuting Biden despite finding ample evidence that Biden broke the law.
"It doesn't make sense to me that if I'm telling the attorney general of the United States why someone ought not to be prosecuted that I wouldn't also tell him exactly why I came to that conclusion," Rosenberg said last Friday.

What is a carbon passport? CNN informs us of that as well, writing:
“The idea of a carbon passport centers on each traveler being assigned a yearly carbon allowance that they cannot exceed. These allowances can then “ration” travel. … The average annual carbon footprint for a person in the US is 16 tons – one of the highest rates in the world. In the UK this figure sits at 11.7 tons, still more than five times the figure recommended by the Paris Agreement …

America is being overrun by people from all over the world. Making the matter even more serious, in an increasingly dangerous world, the immigrants could constitute a fifth column.
In allowing this invasion, Biden has not just been inept — he is deeply corrupt. As I said, he is carrying out Obama’s plan to “fundamentally transform” America — for the worse.
What can be done? We need Texans to rally behind Abbott. We need other states to rally behind Texas. And this just may be a time when the people need to find a way around an obviously unconstitutional Supreme Court ruling.

At around 2 am, they broke into the building that houses Center of the American Experiment and two other conservative organizations with which we often collaborate, along with many other businesses.
- The arsonists set two fires: one was in the first floor corridor between American Experiment’s office and the space we sublease to Take Charge, Kendall and Sheila Qualls’ organization.
- A second fire was set on the third floor, immediately outside or perhaps actually inside the office of the Upper Midwest Law Center, on whose board I serve. This photo shows what the corridor outside my office looks like:

Maryland coach Mike Locksley reveals absurd NIL demands third-string player wanted to stay out of transfer portal"...However, in an era of NIL payments for college athletes and constant roster turnover at Maryland and other programs because of the transfer portal, Locksley is witnessing first-hand just how absurd NIL demands have gotten for some players.

Maryland’s head coach also provided a specific example of an unnamed third-string running back who insisted on a $100,000 NIL evaluation or he would leave the program.
“Because of this portal, NIL. Your third-team tailback coming in and saying, ‘I need $100,000 or I’m going into the portal.’ And you’re like, ‘Where does this magic $100,000 number come from?’ And it just, I mean, I sat in my office and every meeting I had was basically – and we’re seven wins and going to a bowl and taking the next step – but everything coming in was like, ‘I want this. I want that.’ And the greatest team sport has now become kind of individualized.”...

Mike Johnson Aiming to Vote on Spy Powers Reauthorization Next Week:
It remains unclear if there will be a fix for the so-called “data broker loophole” that allows intelligence agencies, law enforcement agencies, and other agencies to purchase Americans’ private data through data brokers, which privacy advocates believe is a run around the Fourth Amendment.
“Intelligence agencies need a court order to obtain your data directly. But as usual, they look for any way to avoid scrutiny and skirt the law. The Deep State will go to any length to spy on the American people. The entire enterprise is rotten,” Rep. Dan Bishop (R-NC) said.
