Welcome back! Here are some highlights from the past week.

This week, my column exhorted conservatives not to fall for the trap of being satisfied by Hunter Biden's transparently sweetheart plea deal with the Department of Justice, in which he avoided jail time despite not paying income tax on millions of dollars in income and lied on a federal firearms background check form. Indeed, the two-tier system of justice that conservatives have rightly decried for years now is still very, very real. Moreover, and most importantly, the specific timing of the plea deal—coming now, five years after the investigation began—reeks of a sloppy Regime attempt to try to distract everyone from the latest news pertaining to the Biden family's shady overseas dealings, especially in China and Ukraine. Do not fall for this trap! If the president of the United States and his degenerate son are somehow financially compromised when it comes to the specific country currently receiving hundreds of billions of dollars in U.S. taxpayer aid to fund its war effort against Russia, that is something We the People must know. And we must know it immediately.

I have had two podcast episodes since my last newsletter was released. First, I was thrilled to host the indispensable Congressman Chip Roy (R-Texas) for a wide-ranging chat about why Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-Fla.) is the GOP's best choice for 2024 presidential nominee, Ukraine and the future of conservative foreign policy, the absolutely devastating status quo at our beleaguered southern border and taking the fight to the Mexican drug cartels, the recent debt ceiling fight in Congress and what it says about House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.), and other pressing topics. (You can listen to this episode on Apple, Spotify or here). Second, I recorded an episode earlier this week about the quasi-coup of sorts this past weekend in Russia involving Wager Group mercenaries, last week's OceanGate submersible disaster, blue-city America's continued descent into third-world anarchy based on my weekend trip up to Philadelphia, and the importance of forging and maintaining real, durable adult friendships. (Catch that episode on Apple, Spotify or here).

In terms of other media appearances over the past week: I joined "John Bachman Now" on Newsmax to discuss Hunter Biden's sweetheart plea deal, joined "The Jenna Ellis Show" to talk about the 2024 GOP presidential primary and why Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-Fla.) should debate Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-Calif.), joined "I'm Right w/ Jesse Kelly" on The First to talk about Hunter's sweetheart deal and whether Joe Biden will ultimately be the Democrats' 2024 presidential nominee, joined Bill Mitchell to discuss why DeSantis is the GOP's best 2024 presidential option, joined "Always Right Radio With Bob Frantz" on 1420 The Answer (Cleveland) to discuss Hunter's sweetheart deal and Biden family corruption abroad, recorded a CenterClip audio op-ed about why the U.S. Supreme Court would be correct to finally end affirmative action once and for all later this week, and (as always) co-hosted the most recent production of the Edmund Burke Foundation's weekly "NatCon Squad" podcast.

Our highlighted right-leaning Newsweek op-eds from the past week include selections from Rep. Jeff Duncan (R-S.C.), Mary Anna Mancuso, Lawrence J. Haas, Ben Weingarten, and Gabriela Rodriguez.
