Hunter Biden's "laptop from hell" never ceases to surprise.

A new trove of documents, published by the Daily Mail, suggests that Joe Biden relied heavily on financial assistance from his son during his term as vice president and afterwards.

As such, Hunter paid $190-a-month AT&T phone bills in 2010 for the then-vice president and over $5,750 for repairs on Biden's house in Wilmington, Delaware, emails between Hunter and one of his business partners reportedly showed.

It is unclear why Joe Biden, who was earning over $100,000 a year as a US senator prior to 2009 and $225,000 a year as vice president – plus renting out his late mother's home for an additional $26,400 a year, would need financial aid from his son 🤔

Vandalism and cancel culture – the only way to go?

Canada has been hit by protests and vandalism following the discovery of the unmarked graves of nearly 1,000 indigenous schoolchildren at the sites of former forced assimilation schools.

In the wake of Canada Day on 1 July, protesters vandalised 10 churches in Alberta, most of them Catholic. Another Catholic church was burned to the ground in Morinville on Wednesday, with authorities suggesting that the fire was the result of arson.

Protesting the grim discovery, people online are calling for both the church and Canada Day to be cancelled.

But could there be another solution?

🏢 The number of victims in the apartment building collapse in Surfside, Florida has reached 32 with 113 individuals still unaccounted for, the mayor of Miami-Dade county Daniella Levine Cava said on Tuesday.

“We have recovered four additional victims. The number of confirmed deaths is now 32, with 26 of those identified. 191 People are accounted for and we have 113 reports of people who are potentially unaccounted for,” Cava said during a press briefing.

Statement by Donald J. Trump, 45th President of the United States of America

Election Reform must happen in Swing States like Pennsylvania, Michigan, Georgia, Wisconsin, and Arizona where voters have lost confidence in their electoral process. The Secretary of State in Pennsylvania allowed 21,000 deceased registrants (dead people) to remain on the voter rolls for the 2020 Presidential Election—a total disgrace! Republicans in State Legislatures must be smart, get tough, and pass real Election Reform in order to fight back against these Radical Left Democrats. If they don’t, they’ll steal it again in 2022 and 2024, and further DESTROY our Country!

Knock, knock, knocking on dissidents' doors

New York Governor Andrew Cuomo has declared a state of emergency due to rampant gun violence in the state, as more people died from gunfire than from COVID-19 over the weekend.

Cuomo also signed a bill to reinstate public nuisance, which may hold gun manufacturers liable for injury and death resulting from their products. The law was repealed all the way back in 2000 by then-President George Bush.
