The New York Post dropped a bomb on Hunter Biden’s business deals and the alleged role of his father Joe Biden, following the GOP’s September report calling out the potentially criminal financial transactions of the ex-vice president son. US journalist Max Parry has discussed the disclosure and FBI Director Christopher Wray’s apparent inaction. The Post’s first bombshell report – published on 14 October and almost immediately censored by Twitter – unveiled “smoking gun emails” alleging that then-Vice President Joe Biden met with an executive from the Ukrainian gas firm Burisma less than a year before Ukraine’s then-General Prosecutor Viktor Shokin was […]

Liverpool’s comfortable 3-1 win in Munich in the round […]
New Delhi (Sputnik): India’s Congress party, which has been associated with the national freedom movement, is now in dire straits over leadership issues.

Nearly 23 senior Congress members and lawmakers have written to the party’s interim chief Sonia Gandhi, urging her to consider the complete overhaul of the party leadership. In the letter, the members of the party stated that the “uncertainty” over the leadership demoralises the cadre and has […]

When John Cleese tells people that he has a new show called Why There Is No Hope, they assume the title is a joke. “A lot of people think that I mean it humorously,” he tells me on an upcoming episode of The Last Laugh podcast, “but of course I don’t.” The Monty Python co-founder is talking via Zoom just a few days before he’s set to present the comedy performance-slash-philosophical lecture in his first-ever international live stream event on Sunday, August 2nd from an empty Cadogan Hall in London.
