President Joe Biden lied from start to finish about his family’s influence-peddling racket. He recently issued a sweeping pardon to his son, Hunter Biden, contradicting his repeated assurances that he would not interfere. This pardon may be one of the most comprehensive in U.S. history, encompassing over a decade of corruption. While some have drawn parallels between this pardon and President Gerald Ford’s pardon of former President Richard Nixon, the comparison falls short. Ford aimed to heal a divided nation; Biden is shielding himself and his family from accountability. Unlike the corporate media and Democrats, who sought to shield Biden until…

However, we realized that docking their allowance made them improve their behavior. They also have a chance to earn back any lost money if they want. As a mom to two boys who are only , and their behavior (or lack thereof) is a direct reflection of me.Grounding them worked, sometimes. The problem with it is that the punishment isn’t immediate.

Michael M. Santiago /Getty, Anna Kim/Getty, Tyler Le/BIThere is conventional wisdom developing in Washington and on Wall Street that President-elect Donald Trump has been handed a gift when it comes to the US economy.

Any president would want to ride into the White House on the coattails of this kind of expansion, the thinking goes. However, I think the reality is somewhat more complicated in ways that are not so traditional.For Trump,…
