I’M SO OLD, I REMEMBER WHEN JOE BIDEN WAS GOING TO RESTORE TRUST AND COOPERATION WITH OUR ALLIES: Keystone XL pipeline canceled after Biden scraps US permit. “In Canada, where politicians had lobbied to keep the project alive, Biden’s decision was greeted with dismay. This was especially true in Alberta, where the province had taken a $1.1 billion stake in the project and lent TC Energy another $4.7 billion for construction. Some 150 km of the pipeline had already been installed in the Canadian province.”

Matt Margolis: Why Hunter Biden’s Racism Matters. “There is more evidence of Biden’s racism than there ever has been of Trump’s alleged racism. In fact, those who accuse Trump of racism rely solely on subjective assessments of policy, in which they ‘find’ racism when none exists, or simply claim that Trump’s alleged racism is simply a matter of fact, something that can’t be questioned because it’s obvious—a forgone conclusion that doesn’t require actual evidence.”

Bryan Preston: Is the IRS Weaponized Again? Four Questions About the Disturbing IRS Personal Information Leak. “Have a problem with Hunter Biden’s ties to China or his racist texts? Don’t like Biden’s cancellation of motherhood in his budget proposal? If a Biden supporter leaked the ProPublica information and is not caught and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, you may expect to have your tax returns and your personal information disclosed as punishment. It’s the ultimate form of doxing, coming from the federal agency that has the most private financial information about all Americans. This is beyond sinister.”

IT REALLY IS OBAMA’S THIRD TERM: Biden’s first defense budget batters the Army. “It’s a budget calculated to take the Army back to the final years of the Obama administration, when readiness was miserable. After years of overuse and inadequate defense funding, Vice Chief Gen. Dan Allyn informed Congress in February 2016 that only three of the Army’s 58 brigade combat teams were fit to go to war.”

CHRISTIAN TOTO: Does Country Music Care About Country Music Fans?

Buddy Brown became a country music star on his own terms, but it wasn’t by choice.

The singer behind “Rowdy Side” and the viral smash “We Gotta Be Less White” went to Nashville to pursue his music dreams. That’s what the rule book says, and he eagerly followed the blueprint … until the industry held up a “stop” sign.

He was too political, the right-leaning Brown tells The Babylon Bee podcast. So he went rogue, building his career without the traditional support structures.

It’s one of several examples showing the chasm between country music fans and the suits behind the industry itself.
