They get offended by jokes told by one of the culture’s cleanest, least incendiary, minds. Seinfeld struck a nerve. Still, most comedians either silently applauded the […]

The Washington Examiner has an article out showing how then-Senator Biden's interest in passing certain legislation oddly aligned with the business interest of companies that were paying his son Hunter. In at least two cases Senator Biden reached out to the Department of Homeland Security, Department of Justice, FBI, and other members of Congress in order to promote the expansion that would benefit his own son.
