This week we will begin by looking at the Hunter Biden laptop, which the media are suddenly validating -- even as the Biden administration keeps denying that he, or his father, did anything wrong. Will the story be buried? Or is there more to come?
We'll talk about the changing battlefield in Ukraine and what it means for America. Not much, according to Secretary of State Tony Blinken, who found time for photo-ops with Bono, the frontman for U2.

Col. John “JV” Venable - on Russia's ongoing war in Ukraine
Rep. Fred Keller - on the border crisis and the lifting of Title 42
Prof. Bill Jacobson - on the Middle East and Gibson's Bakery
Grover Norquist - on inflation, taxation, and Biden's spending policies
