Fox News: CNN analyst shocked by Hunter Biden case being slow-walked by Justice Department: 'This is preposterous!'
The Department of Justice has been slow-walking the Hunter Biden investigation for nearly five years, according to CNN legal analyst Elie Honig. The investigation involves two misdemeanor tax filing charges, a felony tax evasion charge, and a false statement charge over a gun purchase that Hunter Biden potentially made while addicted to drugs. Honig believes the case should have taken five weeks, not five years.
The Epoch Times: Yousaf: I See No Reason to Suspend Sturgeon From SNP
Scotland's First Minister Humza Yousaf has refused to suspend former First Minister Nicola Sturgeon from the Scottish National Party (SNP) following her arrest on Sunday as part of a police investigation into alleged SNP financing irregularities. Sturgeon and two other high-ranking SNP members were arrested, but later released without charge. The police investigation began after allegations in July that £600,000 raised by the party through crowdfunding for Scottish independence had been diverted elsewhere. Yousaf stated that he saw "no reason" to suspend her membership, and that his priority was to maintain the values of natural justice.
The New American: The Democrats Versus Trump: A Bad Horror Movie? - The New American
The Democrats' attempts to eliminate Donald Trump are like a bad horror movie, only making him stronger. The Durham Report reveals their dirty tricks, including portraying him as a Russian agent and impeachment for seeking foreign assistance. The false charge of leading an insurrection resulted in hundreds of false arrests. Indicting him now over classified documents risks turning the US into a banana republic. These attacks only make Trump stronger and destroy the Democrats' credibility.
Breitbart: Italian Politician and Media Tycoon Silvio Berlusconi Dies at 86
Silvio Berlusconi, the longtime media tycoon and three-time Prime Minister of Italy, has died at the age of 85 after being hospitalized for chronic leukemia. Berlusconi's career began in construction and he later moved into media and sports, founding the center-right Forza Italia political party. He purchased a number of television stations that eventually became his Mediaset media empire in 2015. Berlusconi also owned the AC Milan soccer team for 31 years, bringing 29 trophies to its showcase, including 8 championships, 5 between the European Cups and Champions League, and 2 Intercontinental Cups.
Berlusconi was first elected as Prime Minister of Italy in 1994 and later launched his “contract with the Italians” in 2000, pledging to reduce taxes, reduce crime, raise minimum pensions, create one and a half million new jobs, and launch a major works plan to restart the economy. Berlusconi led three Italian governments between 1994 and 2011 and was elected as a senator in 2019. Berlusconi managed to bounce back from corruption allegations as well as sex scandals, the latter including his notoriously hedonistic “bunga bunga” parties at his residences in Rome and Sardinia, allegedly involving underage prostitutes.
Spectator USA: Boris on Berlusconi
Silvio Berlusconi, three-time Italian prime minister and media mogul, has died at 86. In 2003, Boris Johnson and Nicholas Farrell interviewed Berlusconi at his Italian estate, where he showed them his 170-acre Costa Smeralda estate and shared his robust, neoconservative view of the world. Berlusconi's can-do approach to politics heavily relied on his personal wealth and media empire, causing unease among his critics. However, he was democratically elected and could be rejected by the Italian people, making him a unique and controversial figure in Italian politics.

Fox News: Battle between McCarthy, GOP rebels ‘unresolved’ as House tries to get back to work Monday
Eleven conservative Republicans blocked Republican bills aimed at protecting gas stoves in the House of Representatives, forcing Speaker Kevin McCarthy to call an early recess in the middle of last week. The conservatives are seeking two key assurances from McCarthy in the upcoming appropriations process, when the House Committee on Appropriations will consider 12 separate spending bills for the next fiscal year: a promise to cap federal spending at fiscal year 2022 levels and a commitment to stop spending on programs whose authorization has run out. The lawmakers also accused GOP leadership of threatening Rep. Andrew Clyde, R-Ga., by blocking his pro-Second Amendment legislation from the House floor because of his earlier efforts to take down the debt limit bill.

Attorney Harmeet Dhillon, who represents Carlson, has fired back in a statement, describing Fox News’ attitude as ignoring the interests of its viewers and shareholders. Fox told Carlson’s lawyers that his first Twitter show violated his contract, but Carlson has taken the legal position that Fox abrogated the contract in the way it treated him.
