Honest question: any chance this move by Austin was inspired by Biden’s very bad decision to pardon Hunter? If nothing else, blocking anyone else’s ability to offer plea deals would limit that a lot.

Understanding gained through family love is understandable, yes. Understanding through an unwavering commitment to justice is something else entirely.
Joe Biden couldn’t prevent the car crash that killed his wife and daughter and he couldn’t save Beau from cancer, but he had the power to save Hunter from his conviction and he took it. You can disagree with the decision, but if you love your family, you understand it.

Dubai chocolate bars are kind of like KitKats, but stuffed with pistachio nuts and aromatic pistachio nougat. Foodies used to have to order the confections from Dubai — now they are everywhere.

A man who vanished in 1999 has been found in the LA area and is being reunited with his family, the authorities said. It all started when his sister saw a man who resembled her long-lost brother in the news. Fingerprint scans solved the decades-old case.
