By any measure, Democrats exceeded expectations this midterm. Though listening to the triumphalism today, you’d think Joe Biden was Hannibal at Cannae.

Attorney General Merrick Garland has just announced the appointment of special counsel Jack Smith. But Smith’s team will not look into the Biden family quid pro quo syndicate nor its incriminating confessionals on Hunter Biden’s laptop.

Chesapeake, Virginia police on Friday released the content of a “manifesto” found on the cellphone of Andre Bing, the accused killer of six at a local Walmart where he worked.

Megyn Kelly shared why she’s no longer in charge of cooking Thanksgiving dinner for her family after making an attempt three times, with each one just short of a “complete disaster.” In the “American News Minute with Megyn Kelly” newsletter that came out on Friday, the host of “The Megyn Kelly Show” podcast talked about […]
