Art, that is. Jonathan Turley is shocked, shocked that Art Dealer Testifies that Hunter Expressly Asked for Buyer Information. Capt. Ed, "Quelle surprise! A Biden turned out to lie to cover up financial shenanigans. Turley notes that the same media outlets that crowed about the White House ethics guardrails on Hunter’s art sales are suddenly uninterested in them now that they’ve been exposed as a dodge. Again … quelle surprise." John Solomon at JTN, Art dealer told Congress that Joe Biden called and met him while he sold Hunter Biden’s paintings. "George Berges also says first son made unusual request to know the identity of buyers, undercutting White House's narrative." ET, New York Gallery Dealer Tells Congress Hunter Biden’s Hollywood Friend Bought $875,000 of His Artwork. Ace, Hunter Biden's "Art Dealer" Confesses That Joe Biden Met With Him. "Presumably they talked about the weather." From Fox, House Rules panel pauses consideration of Hunter Biden contempt amid negotiations for new deposition date.

Say, did you hear Trump won in Iowa? But, first, correcting an error yesterday, Fox reports Trump narrowly denied clean sweep of Iowa's 99 counties by 1 vote. "Trump wins 98 of 99 Iowa counties in Monday caucuses." As Stacy McCain, notes Trump (Predictably) Wins Big in Iowa; MSNBC (Predictably) Melts Down on Air. "It has never been my style to say or do anything merely to “own the libs,” as the kids say, but if owning the libs is what you want to do, then voting for Trump is certainly the best way to do it. Congratulations, then, to Iowa GOP caucus-goers, who provoked unprecedented conniptions in the liberal media. MSNBC actually refused to broadcast Trump’s victory speech in Iowa, and CNN cut away from the speech as soon as Trump started talking about the “invasion” at the U.S.-Mexico border." Althouse, "We will let you know if there is any news made in that speech, if there is anything noteworthy, something substantive and important." "You can read that or — better — watch Russell Brand's presentation of Maddow's travesty of journalism:" PJM's Matt Margolis noticed CNN and MSNBC Censor Trump’s Victory Speech in Iowa. At Breitbart, Republicans React to Trump’s Massive Iowa Win: ‘Cue the Journo and Liberal Meltdown’. At HE, Young conservatives want Trump in 2024. A little late, at Da Wire, Rubio Becomes Latest Senator To Endorse Trump For President Ahead Of Iowa Caucus. RedState's Nick Arama wants you to WATCH as Vivek Lights It Up With Trump in New Hampshire. But from TNP, Trump Aide Jason Miller: ‘Pretty Safe to Say [VP] Won’t Be Vivek.’ Chris Roach at Am Great calls it. A Pointless Republican Primary "Indictments, lawfare, media propaganda, and phalanx-style opposition from the organs of conservatism have all been arrayed against Trump. Even so, his enemies have barely dented him."
At PJM Paula Bolyard explains why she thinks DeSantis and Haley Need to Stay in the Race. On the contrary, Ari Kaufman at Da Lid think It’s Time For Ron Desantis To Bow Out. "DeSantis is not going to receive more money. His is a zombie campaign going nowhere that can’t rely on fantastical scenarios." At Da Fed, Dave Harsanyi says Nothing DeSantis Did Or Didn’t Do Would Have Made Any Difference. Capt. Ed at Hat Hair comments "DeSantis takes a couple of years off and comes back for the 2028 cycle. Whether Trump wins or not, the GOP has to field a new candidate in that cycle, and DeSantis will have more experience and better standing." Ryan Girdusky at Spec World, tells you What I told Ron DeSantis and his team about their campaign. "‘I said, “You need to attack Trump.” “You want me to attack Trump now?” DeSantis responded. “Yes, do you want my phone? You can tweet from my phone”’ From TNP, DATA: Most Haley & DeSantis Iowa Backers ‘Against’ or ‘Neutral’ on Making America Great Again.
Tristan Justice at Da Fed explains why Actual Republicans Want Nothing To Do With Nikki Haley. “Of all the terrible things about Nikki Haley,” Scarry wrote last summer, “her enthusiasm for more foreign war funding, her deference to corporate cultural assault — the cringe-worthy attempts to hype her status as a woman (A mom! A wife!) and Indian (“I’m a minority first!,” “I’m as diverse as it gets!”) are the least offensive. But it’s still really, really bad.” Capt. Ed, "Yes, but that may be why Haley will hang on longer in the primary, too. DeSantis wanted to give Republicans a chance to choose conservo-populism without Trump’s baggage. So far, though, the GOP’s populist base is still adhering to Trump. Haley provides a contrast for the more moderate Republicans and GOP-leaning independent centrists to rally around." Sundance at CTH claims Nikki Haley is Relying on Democrats in New Hampshire to Win Republican Primary and Keep Billionaire Donors Happy. Hat Hair's KT hears Joy Reid: Nikki Haley Came in Third in Iowa Because...Racism. The Peacock reports ABC News cancels Republican debate after Haley refuses to debate without Trump. Matt Vespa at TownHall thinks Tucker Carlson Destroys Nikki Haley in One Video. It's pretty damning:

Jack Smith didn’t want President Trump to know the prosecution was looking through his Twitter metadata and personal communication, so they went to district court under seal to file their search warrants in secrecy; then banning Twitter (the third party) from telling President Trump about it. The four justices from the DC Circuit Court of Appeals are furious the other three members of the court went along with this precedent setting usurpation of authority.
President Trump could not appeal any part of this process because he was unaware it was taking place. In essence, a star-chamber of secrecy was established and the majority on DC Circuit Court of Appeals is not happy about it.
Jack Smith gained access after Twitter lost the 3-judge Circuit Court appeal decision. So, an en banc full 7-member ruling is essentially moot. The information was released, and Smith had access without President Trump or the White House having any option to assert privilege.…”While a Twitter account primarily consists of public tweets, it may also include some private material, such as direct messages between users, drafts, and personal metadata. In fact, the material produced by Twitter included several dozen direct messages written by a sitting President. The district court afforded no opportunity for the former President to invoke executive privilege before disclosure, and this court made no mention of the privilege concerns entangled in a third-party search of a President’s social media account. This approach directly contravenes the principles and procedures long used to adjudicate claims of executive privilege.” [pdf HERE]The ruling provides no remedy other than public scrutiny and perhaps fuel for Florida Judge Aileen Cannon who already has Special Counsel Jack Smith on his heels after several rulings in the Mar-a-Lago documents case.

AP reports The Supreme Court declines to step into fight over bathrooms for transgender students "The Supreme Court has passed up a chance to intervene in the debate over bathrooms for transgender students, rejecting an appeal from an Indiana public school district." Capt. Ed, "I find this surprising, but have not seen any commentary on it thus far. The Supreme Court usually takes up cases where circuit courts have split on an issue. Perhaps this particular case has a ripeness or standing issue, but they can’t let this split stand for too long." mrc-TV reports Cali AG Threatens School District For Protecting Parental Rights.
