Hunter Biden’s business was selling access to his father.

At a minimum, the FBI needs to search Hunter’s home and business addresses for classified documents.
Why classified documents? HB was never a member of any administration, held never a job in any department or agency. On the other hand, think Ivanka and Jared... :blackeye:

Is lyin' Ted a lawyer? I know that he went to Harvard, so he should know that the FBI can't search anyone's home or business without a search warrant, and that they can't get a search warrant without convincing a judge that they have probable cause to believe that they will find something, in this case, classified documents.

Has anyone with any credibility alleged that Hunter Biden, in fact, has any classified documents? I didn't think so.

Ted knows that the FBI can't do such a search. He is simply playing to the MAGA base who believe that President Biden called the director of the FBI and said "go search Mar-A-Lardo". There was ample evidence that TFG actually had government documents, including classified ones. It had been an ongoing fight with NARA over the documents for a year and a half.

The republicans in general and Ted in particular, simply want revenge for the search of TFG's resort. The FBI (or any other law enforcement agency) is never going to search Hunter Biden's home or office. This plays into the "the demoncrats have weaponized the DOJ" myth that they love to spread.

Ted Cruz says AT&T was wrong to remove Newsmax from DirecTV and is calling for hearings: “There are million of Texans that want to hear the truth, that want to hear news. OAN does a great job, Newsmax does a great job, Fox News does a great job.”

So, Ted, good old-fashioned capitalism where market forces drive corporate decisions without government intervention is now qualified so that if Corporate America cannot turn a profit or make the profit they need to keep the shareholders happy, that needs to be investigated if it affects right-wing companies?

MILLIONS are watching OAN and Newmax?
So what. This is not the 1990s. Cable/Sat is all digtal. They know what their subscribers are watching -- and what they are NOT.

These "news" channels can't force providers to carry their content AND demand a per subscriber fee. That was how the Fox News sh*t happened. Customers paying for channels they did not watch nor want.

Gonna be hard since he has moved house several times in the last few years, and Cruz probably knows that. He also knows that Hunter had buisinesses that had nothing whatsoever to do with his father, such as his role in Bursima.

Besides, it's all predicated on people assuming someone called "the big guy" on a photograph of an email was Joe Biden. Which he might not have been. So if they ask that and Hunter says someone completely different, we will wind up with them asking "who was the big guy?" 500 times for 8 hours in any hearings.

CBS News pressed Sen. Ted Cruz on why he's running for reelection after he introduced a bill limiting senators to 2 terms in office: 'Why aren't you holding yourself to that standard?'

  • Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas is running for a third term while also backing a two-term limit for senators.
    CBS News "Face the Nation" host Margaret Brennan on Sunday pressed Cruz on his stance.
    "If and when it passes, I will happily, happily comply. I've never said I'm going to unilaterally comply," he said.
Two-term Sen. Ted Cruz on Sunday sought to fend off questions about his intention to seek a third term after introducing a constitutional amendment that would restrict senators to two terms in office.

During an interview on the CBS News program "Face the Nation," host Margaret Brennan pressed the Texas Republican about his decision to run for a third term, asking him why he's doing the very same thing he's seeking to restrict.

"You also introduced a bill to limit terms to two six-year terms in office for senators. Why aren't you holding yourself to that standard?" Brennan asked. "You said you're running for a third term."

Cruz responded: "Listen, I'm a passionate defender of term limits. I think that Congress would work much better if every senator were limited to two terms if every House member were limited to three terms. I've introduced a constitutional amendment to put that into the Constitution."

Brennan said: "But you're still running."

So, he introduces a Amendment that will never pass, because the rubes don't know better and he doesn't have to comply because it was just a campaign soundbite, not a real law.

Ted on Ukraine: “For the Democrats, this has become a virtue signal .. they wear the Ukrainian flag. Zelensky - I think People magazine is going to name him the Sexiest Man Alive. A Ukrainian flag has become like a covid mask - it’s a sign to show your virtue.”

As a presidential candidate, Ted Cruz is nothing without his PAC money. He found that out the hard way in 2016 when Donald convinced some of the big donors to just not donate.

Cruz has figured out why school shootings continue to happen. You'll be astonished to learn that it is the Democrats fault. And he's hoppin' mad about it.

Dems blocked it with ZERO justification.

I cannot tell you how angry I am about this! Senate Dems weren't willing to do what it takes.

This worked out as well for Ted as saying locked school doors was also the answer.
