President Biden’s commutations torch his legacy
President Joe Biden seems determined to torch his legacy as the grains of sand run down the hourglass of his historic presidency. Historic? Yes, for two reasons. First, his accomplishments. I would say action to prevent a depression during the Covid lockdown may be No. 1, but there are many

The “truth” according to Tucker Carlson
Fox News’ Tucker Carlson is not a journalist. His employer has bragged admitted that, and that he can’t be believed. Fox News lawyers said that in court. The "'general tenor' of the show should then inform a viewer that [Carlson] is not 'stating actual facts&
