The Western Journal: Meet the Man Who Had Final Control of Biden's Last Pardons - and It Wasn't Joe Biden
Meet the Man Who Had Final Control of Biden's Last Pardons - and It Wasn't Joe Biden
Former White House chief of staff Jeff Zients had the final say on President Biden's last pardons, including the controversial pardon of Anthony Fauci. This decision was made on Biden's last day in office, with Zients approving the use of an autopen for the pardons without direct input from Biden.

Zients, who had no public health experience, was pivotal in Biden's COVID strategy and has a history of involvement with healthcare firms facing legal issues. His control over the pardon process raises questions about accountability and the influence of unelected officials in the administration.

Trump DOJ Investigating Tim Walz's Minnesota Over Alleged 'Unlawful Action' Against White Men

A policy requiring justification for hiring white men in certain roles has drawn scrutiny, with the DOJ seeking to determine if it constitutes a pattern of discrimination.

Minnesota officials maintain that the regulations are in line with state and federal laws aimed at increasing workforce diversity.

Texas Flood Coverage Belies Public Radio’s Boast of Unique, Emergency Reporting
Texas Public Radio (TPR) has been criticized for failing to provide timely emergency alerts during severe flooding in Kerr County, despite claiming to offer vital news services. While the National Weather Service issued multiple flood warnings, TPR did not post alerts until hours later, leading to questions about its effectiveness as a public broadcaster.

In contrast, local private media outlets actively informed the community about the flood dangers, conducting live interviews and providing updates. Critics argue that TPR's lobbying for continued taxpayer funding is undermined by its lack of timely emergency communication during a crisis.
