National Review: The Corner: What’s Missing with Chris Christie
Chris Christie is a flawed politician who combines history of unreliability, cynicism, grotesquery with the ability to pound Trump rhetorically. Christie appeared at the Faith & Freedom Coalition's 'Road to Majority' conference where he talked about the importance of admitting mistakes. However, his center was curiously missing leaving the audience to wonder why he endorsed Trump in 2016. Christie seems to believe that his act of running for the presidency is some kind of moral expiation, a way of saying sorry. The only way to handle Chris Christie's candidacy is to ignore him and wait for it to capsize and sink.
Newsbusters: GOP Reps. Issue BLISTERING Letter in 2020 Election Interference Probe
The House Committee on Homeland Security is investigating allegations of censorship efforts from the federal government during the 2020 election. House Committee on Homeland Security Chairman Mark E. Green and Subcommittee on Oversight, Investigations, and Accountability Chairman Dan Bishop sent a letter to the Center for Internet Security (CIS) about its efforts to facilitate censorship. The CIS’s “misinformation reporting system” involved Big Tech and the Department of Homeland Security’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA). The congressmen requested information on CISA’s “partnership with non-governmental organizations and social media companies that potentially suppressed Americans’ speech.” The government’s role in censorship begs the question of whether the federal government was used as a strong arm. Censorship has major impacts and can even alter election results.

Washington Free Beacon: Foreign Intel Agencies Say Iran On Cusp of Testing First Nuke
Iran is on the verge of testing its first nuclear warhead, according to intelligence estimates from the Netherlands, Germany, and Sweden. The country's intelligence agencies have found that Iran is consistently seeking to obtain technology for its illegal nuclear program and ballistic missile apparatus and is ignoring previous agreements made as part of the 2015 nuclear accord. The findings come as the Biden administration engages in secret negotiations with Iran, promising billions of dollars in sanctions relief in exchange for minor restrictions on its nuclear program. The administration's plans could result in senior officials being subpoenaed, according to Republicans in Congress. ( )
Fox News: Whistleblower: 'No way of knowing' if evidence of 'other criminal activity' existed about Bidens on laptop
An IRS whistleblower claims that there is 'no way of knowing' if there's evidence of criminal activity involving Joe Biden or Hunter Biden because of guidance from prosecutors to 'limit' or block questioning on the matter. The House Ways and Means Committee released testimony from two IRS whistleblowers who claim that officials at the Justice Department, FBI and IRS interfered in Hunter Biden's tax evasion case, influenced by politics. The investigation began as an 'offshoot' of an IRS investigation into an amateur pornography shop, and the FBI became aware of the laptop by October 2019. The whistleblowers say that decisions in the case always benefited the subject of the investigation.

The Epoch Times: EXPLAINER: Now That Bill C-18 Has Passed, Why Is Meta Blocking Canadian News?
Meta has announced it will be blocking content from news outlets for Canadian users in order to comply with the Online News Act. The new legislation requires online platforms and digital news providers to pay Canadian media outlets for any news or information linked to their platforms. Both Meta and Google had already begun test-blocking some news for Canadian users prior to Bill C-18 passing into law. The Online News Act is set to come into force this December.
Canadian Heritage Minister Pablo Rodriguez has criticised Meta’s decision, saying the move shows the platforms are more willing to remove news than pay local outlets for it. He said Canada needs the Online News Act in order to save local newsrooms forced to close in recent years due to heavy online competition. However, opposition MPs have criticised the legislation, stating that it will benefit large Canadian media outlets more than local journalism.

Forbes: ‘Purple Rain,’ ‘Batman’ Among Film-Music Rights Possibly On Block As Debt-Laden WBD Seeks More Cash
Warner Bros. Discovery is reportedly looking to sell up to half the music-publishing assets for its films and TV series for around $500m, in order to help reduce its huge debt load of around $48bn. While it can be a lucrative approach for aging performers seeking one more big payday from their creative work, it signals that WBD may be struggling with crippling debt, and raises concerns about the future of its media assets. The sale comes as WBD deals with a writers strike, which has halted production on shows such as Real Time with Bill Maher and This Week with John Oliver.
WBD is also considering licensing its older HBO and other shows to external outlets, to generate income on shows that are often overlooked in the algorithms on home streaming services. This would represent a significant shift in the thinking of WBD and other Hollywood media companies, which traditionally kept their older high-profile shows in-house to burnish the appeal of their own streaming services. However, licensing older shows to third-party FAST linear networks or other streaming outlets could provide an alternative way of raising funds. Such a move may be necessary as WBD seeks to reduce its massive debt load.
