American Fact of the Day!

Did You Know That Wine Can Be Used To Fuel a Car? Shocking? Right! Do not attempt this at home! One of the interesting facts about the USA is that Prince Charles had his vintage Aston Martin converted to run on wine in an effort to find sustainable alternatives to regular oil, and he believes that it runs better and more powerfully when on the spirit—plus, it smells nicer while driving. This unexpected alcoholic beverage is the fastest growing in the United States.

Mitt Romney Gives Mind-Numbingly Ridiculous Answer on Biden Impeachment Inquiry

Mitt Romney is headed for retirement, and not a moment too soon. The ostensibly Republican senator appeared on "Meet the Press" on Sunday and was asked about the ongoing impeachment inquiry into Joe Biden. His answer will have you rolling your eyes.

Apparently there is "no evidence" to support even an investigation into the president. At least according to Romney.

ROMNEY: No, I don't see any evidence of that at all. I think before you begin an impeachment inquiry, you ought to have some evidence, some inclination that there's been wrongdoing, and so far, there's been nothing of that nature that's been provided.

WELKER: So are you opposed to the impeachment inquiry?

ROMNEY: Well, if I were in the House, I'd be against it unless they were able to bring forward evidence that suggests there was a high crime or misdemeanor that has been committed, but so far, that hasn't been the case.

Just to name a few of the known connections, the now-president called into dozens of Hunter Biden's business meetings. Joe Biden even gave a personal meeting to a Russian oligarch who paid his son millions of dollars for completely unexplained reasons.

Hunter Biden also made direct payments from his businesses to his father. Further, emails, WhatsApp messages, and even a highly detailed FBI FD-1023 report claim Joe Biden was involved.

Hamas Threatens to Kill All the Remaining Hostages Unless Israel Bows to Its Demands

Abu Obeida, the masked spokesman for Hamas’ military wing, threatened on Sunday to kill all the remaining hostages taken during the Oct. 7 attacks unless Israel cedes to demands for more aid and prisoner exchanges.

Speaking on a recorded broadcast reviewed by the Times of Israel, Obeida called Israel "fascist" and "arrogant." Despite the fact that Israel Defense Forces is rapidly gaining ground in Gaza and large numbers of Hamas fighters have been surrendering, the terror leader vowed to continue the fight.

"We have no choice but to fight this barbaric occupier in every neighbourhood, street and alley," he said. "The enemy's holocaust aims to break the strength of our resistance... but we are fighting on our land in a holy battle."

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had a different assessment of the status of the war than Obeida, saying Sunday that the conflict will not end well for Hamas.

As protesters take to the streets to applaud Hamas' inhumanity and call for a ceasefire, they keep ignoring an essential fact: a ceasefire could be negotiated very quickly if they would release the hostages and put down their arms. Instead, they want to continue to torture their captives and create more carnage in a war they started and stand little chance of winning.
