Eric Felten at RealClearInvestigations.com notes that the media protects Joe and Hunter Biden by repeatedly saying that there’s “no evidence” of corruption or influence peddling in their connections with Ukraine. What if journalists treated Donald Trump using “the Biden standard”?
President Trump said he’d “strongly consider” accepting House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s invitation to testify in his own defense before Congress and “speak all the truth that he wants.”

Some 40 percent of farm income now comes from a combination of trade aid (due to the China trade war), disaster assistance, farm subsidies and insurance claims, according to Axios.com.

Former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, Nikki Haley, breaks shocking news about how President Trump treats a woman who works for him.
