House Republicans continue struggling to come up with evidence to support their allegations of corruption by Democratic President Joe Biden to impeach him. 
On Tuesday during a House Committee Hearing on an impeachment inquiry into Biden,  Colorado Democratic Representative Joe Neguse grilled Pennsylvania Republican Representative Guy Reschenthaler for answers.
But it went nowhere fast.
When Neguse asked his GOP colleague what "specific constitutional crime" committed by Biden that House Republicans were exactly investigating, Reschenthaler failed to come up with a concrete answer. 
Instead, he vaguely prattled:
"Well, we're having an inquiry so we can do an investigation."Neguse refused to let him off the hook with the non-answer and asked once more:
"What is the crime you're investigating?"More drivel from Reschenthaler followed.
He glanced downward for a brief moment shaking his head and replied:
"High crimes, misdemeanors, and bribery."Neguse was not satisfied with the general response and prodded him for more information.
"What high crimes and misdemeanors are you investigating?" The stumped GOP lawmaker deflected with:
"Once I get time, I will explain what we're looking at and I will make the equivalency of the last impeachment." Tick-tock, Congressman, tick-tock.

@Acyn Republicans are opening an impeachment inquiry so they can find witnesses to (checks notes) crimes that didn't occur.

Reschenthaler also claimed that former Republican President Donald Trump "got impeached for something that Joe Biden actually did."
He continued to bumble: 
"But then again, we're just here to decide if there should be an inquiry to proceed with investigations and again to compel the production of documents and testimony of witnesses."Umm, sure Guy.
Even Fox News acknowledged the GOP's lack of progress in producing any evidence of corruption committed by Biden.

Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy observed: 
“The House Oversight Committee has been at this for years, and they have so far not been able to provide any concrete evidence that Joe Biden personally profited from his son Hunter’s overseas business, but they are going to try again with this impeachment inquiry."

Sep 12, 2025
Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."
Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women. 
Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
