Joe Biden’s fatal flaw was relying on the reluctant institutionalist Merrick Garland to prosecute the case of insurrectionist Donald J Trump. Had Garland done his job, Trump would have been banned from office and America and the world would not be in this predicament.

A Hampton Inn in Asheville just canceled my family's reservation because our address (incorrectly) showed Asheville—and the hotel bars locals within 50 miles.
When I asked why, they said, "because of our homeless population," adding that most hotels here have similar policies.
This is outrageous.

'Massive corruption' and 'skewing our national interest:' Understanding Trump's Middle East approach
Since returning to office, President Trump has taken on a major role in the Middle East, from brokering a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas in Gaza to deepening ties with Saudi Arabia. Former Deputy National Security Advisor Ben Rhodes calls out Trump's "massive corruption" in cozying up to "these rich, totalitarian or autocratic leaders in the Gulf." Former State Department Senior Advisor for Arab-Israeli Relations Aaron David Miller says that while the ceasefire is a major achievement, "building a bridge to a broader Israeli-Palestinian peace is going to be a very hard lift."
