On the first, from 'Becca Down at Town Hall One of the Prosecutors in Hunter Biden Probe Certainly Looks to Have a Conflict of Interest. 'Bonchie' at Red State explains NEW: Hunter Biden Prosecutor Previously Worked for Hunter's Business Partner.
According to The Daily Mail, one of the prosecutors who was intimately involved in formulating the controversial deal once worked directly for one of Hunter Biden’s business partners.
A prosecutor who signed off on the documents charging Hunter Biden with tax and gun crimes previously worked with one of the First Son’s business partners, DailyMail.com can reveal.
Delaware US Attorney David Weiss officially filed charges against the president’s son last Tuesday after a near five-year probe into his alleged tax crimes and foreign financial dealings.
Weiss’s deputy, Assistant United States Attorney Derek Hines, signed off on the charging documents alongside his boss and two other assistant US attorneys – indicating he has a central role in Hunter’s criminal prosecution.
According to Hines’s LinkedIn account, he previously worked as Special Counsel to ex-FBI director Louis Freeh at his private company, Freeh Group International Solutions, a lobbying and ‘risk management’ consultancy that teamed up with Hunter on overseas business currently under scrutiny by lawmakers.
As a conflict of interest goes, this one is sort of second hand. It really goes to show that the upper level of the pyramid of power in Washington is pretty small, and that a lot of the players have interrelationships. Of more interest to me was the reminder (I knew it once) that Hunter had a business relationship with ex-FBI director Freeh, which suggests to me that Hunter's apparent prosecution resistance is long-standing, and likely cultivated at the highest levels. Hat Hair's Jazz Shaw, David Weiss' "explanation" of Hunter Biden investigation confirms what we knew, the upper levels of the FBI, DOJ and IRS wanted nothing to do with an investigation touching the Biden crime family. Pete Van Buren at Am Con, calls it The Wild Hunt. "Hunter Biden’s plea deal touches only the tip of the iceberg."

Matt Margolis at PJM wants to know, Where’s Hunter? White House Evacuated After Cocaine Found
The White House grounds were evacuated on Sunday due to the discovery of an initially unidentified package.
“U.S. Secret Service Uniform Division Officers located an unknown item on the White House complex,” a Secret Service spokesman confirmed. “As a precaution, the White House grounds were evacuated, and the DC Fire Departments Hazmat team responded.”
Curiously, there hasn’t been a lot of news coverage of this incident. This seems odd because the evacuation of the White House and the response of a Hazmat team seems like a significant story. It’s true that the item was eventually deemed to be “non-hazardous” by D.C. Emergency Medical officials, but that’s not the whole story.
An audio recording from D.C. Fire Hazmat revealed the test results showed the substance found was cocaine hydrochloride.
He also documents media attempts to portray this as possibly the discovery of cocaine based nasal anesthetics, which is highly unlikely. Brittany Sheehan at Red State, Hazmat Situation at White House Leads to Discovery of a Bag of Cocaine They Want You to Believe Is Something Else. It wouldn't be the first time Hunter lost track of some coke.

As I wrote earlier, I don’t think this lawsuit will succeed in federal court, but I won’t mind the infighting on the Left over it, either. Hopefully Professor Jacobson invites me over for the popcorn, and I can bring the beer."

Hat Hair's Jazz Shaw is willing to consider that Maybe the real problem is the Constitution itself
I would quibble a bit with the wording Frank Miele chose regarding a Consitution that “means what it says.” The document means what the Founders meant when they wrote it. The words remain the same today, but they are being interpreted in different ways that favor more centralized power and less control by the states. Unfortunately, none of the authors have survived to stand and defend themselves in the 21st century. And the people making the final call today see things differently.

"The 'extremist' label is justified, said Esther Prins, a professor at Penn State University who has studied the intersection of education advocacy and Christian nationalism in America. Prins said the activities of Moms for Liberty chapters — especially efforts to remove books nationwide, many of which are led by group members and which overwhelmingly target people of color and LGBTQ+ authors, a Post analysis found — are consistent with groups that promote a hierarchical social order in which 'men are over women, straight people over LGBTQ people.' Prins said, 'That’s why they don’t want children learning about racism or about the existence of people who are not straight or the existence of families that aren’t the heterosexual nuclear family.'..."
I'm reading "Moms for Liberty didn’t exist 3 years ago. Now it’s a GOP kingmaker. Five GOP presidential candidates attended the group’s Philadelphia convention this weekend" (WaPo).
