The House Oversight Committee has issued a subpoena for an unclassified record allegedly detailing a criminal scheme involving former Vice President Joe Biden and a foreign national. The subpoena was prompted by a whistleblower form, FD-1023, generated by the FBI and obtained by Republican Senator Chuck Grassley’s office. The form reportedly outlines an exchange of money for policy decisions. Grassley and House Oversight Chairman James Comer wrote to FBI Director Christopher Wray and Attorney General Merrick Garland, stating that it remains unclear if any steps were taken to investigate the matter. The subpoena calls for all FD-1023 forms created or modified in June 2020 containing the term “Biden.” Congressional oversight is necessary due to growing concerns about political bias in the DOJ and FBI decision-making process, the letter says. Grassley and Comer said the information provided by the whistleblower raises concerns that Biden “allegedly engaged in a bribery scheme with a foreign national.”

Kremlin Accuses US of Masterminding Drone Attack Stepping Up Security Ahead of Victory Day Celebrations
The Kremlin has accused the United States of orchestrating the drone attack on President Vladimir Putin’s residence in the Kremlin, which it claims was carried out by Ukraine. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov stated that “decisions on such attacks are not made in Kyiv, but in Washington,” and that the Kremlin is increasing security in Moscow ahead of Victory Day celebrations. The White House National Security Council, however, denies any involvement in the reported incident. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky also denied any involvement, stating that they “fight on our territory.” Russia claims that the Vatican has no detailed plans for resolving the conflict in Ukraine, despite Pope Francis’ consistent calls for peace. Meanwhile, Mr Zelensky has visited the International Criminal Court in The Hague, which in March issued an arrest warrant for Mr Putin for alleged deportation of children from Ukraine.
Fox News Host Geraldo Rivera Doubts Biden Bribery Whistleblower Story Sparks Outrage
Fox News Host Geraldo Rivera is facing backlash after expressing skepticism about allegations of President Biden’s involvement in a bribery scheme.

Kremlin Claims Drone Attack on Moscow Ukraine Denies Involvement
On Wednesday, the Kremlin claimed that it had been hit by a drone attack, while Ukraine has denied any involvement. President Putin’s office has pledged to retaliate against Ukraine following the drone attack. The timing of the attack was tied to the upcoming Victory Day parade, which is a significant holiday in Russia. However, the way that the Kremlin announced the apparent attack raises questions about its authenticity. The Kremlin released footage of the drones on fire, apparently intercepted electronically. However, analysts dispute this claim, as some footage shows an aerial object exploding and shedding debris over the roof of a building. Furthermore, Anton Gerashchenko, an adviser to Ukraine’s Interior Ministry, has questioned how a drone that the Kremlin’s defenses were able to detect was first able to penetrate Russian territorial airspace.
Despite the inconsistencies in the Kremlin’s claims, Moscow banned all drone flights in the capital following the announcement. Putin’s office has since stated that events on Victory Day will proceed as planned, although it reserves the right to retaliate against Ukraine when and where it sees fit. Ukrainian President Zelenskyy has denied any involvement and has stated that Ukraine is fighting on its territory to defend its villages and cities.

NATO Intelligence Official Warns Russia Could Target Undersea Pipelines and Cables
In a recent warning, a senior NATO intelligence official highlighted the “significant risk” of Russia targeting critical infrastructure in Europe and North America, including undersea gas pipelines and internet cables. David Cattler, NATO’s assistant secretary general for intelligence and security, expressed concerns over Russia’s “active mapping” of gas pipelines and internet cables, both on land and seabed, using its considerable resources for surveillance of infrastructure. Cattler stated that Moscow could deploy civilian and spy ships for surveillance purposes. The sabotage of Nord Stream pipelines in the Baltic in September 2020 exposed the vulnerability of undersea gas pipelines, while undersea cables that carry 95% of internet traffic were also potentially at risk. The warning highlights the need for heightened security measures to protect critical infrastructure against possible Russian confrontation.
AI Experts Warn of Terminator-Style Nuclear Armageddon as Machines Become SelfAware Survey Finds
According to a recent survey conducted by Stanford University in California, more than one third of tech experts agreed that decisions made by artificial intelligence (AI) could lead to a catastrophe as catastrophic as an all-out nuclear war. In fact, many in the AI field fear that machines could spark a Terminator-style nuclear Armageddon as they become self aware. Despite these concerns, less than half of the 480 AI experts polled believe that AI should be regulated. The report, which polled specialists in natural language processing, sheds light on the fears and hopes of those working in the tech industry. Geoffrey Hinton, a British scientist who is considered the “Godfather” of AI, even went so far as to suggest that it is “not inconceivable” that AI could eventually end humanity.

Tucker Carlsons Controversial Text Revealed Its Not How White Men Fight
Carlson’s Text That Alarmed Fox Leaders: ‘It’s Not How White Men Fight’
A text message sent by Tucker Carlson that set off a panic at the highest levels of Fox on the eve of its billion-dollar defamation trial showed its most popular host sharing his private, inflammatory views about violence and race. The discovery of the message contributed to a chain of events that ultimately led to Carlson’s firing.
In the message, sent to one of his producers in the hours after violent Trump supporters stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, Carlson described how he had recently witnessed a confrontation between two men, one of whom was black. Carlson wrote, “I loved how he [the white man] didn’t back down, and he wasn’t cowed, but at the same time he didn’t seem angry or like he was going to hurt anyone. He just kept getting louder and more insistent, but he was also clearly not going to become violent. So, I guess my question is: How do we get white men to fight like that?”
This message caused alarm among Fox leaders who were concerned that it could be interpreted as glorifying violence and promoting white supremacy. The fallout from Carlson’s controversial text was swift, with many calling for his firing. Ultimately, Fox decided to part ways with Carlson, citing a breach in their standards and values.

The Tragic Fate of George Washington A Lesson on WellMeaning Physicians and the Dangers of Economic Bleeding
The story of George Washington’s tragic fate serves as a cautionary tale for well-meaning physicians and the dangers of economic bleeding. Despite being the most important patient in the country, if not in history, George Washington was bled to death by physicians who believed they were helping him. This tragic outcome highlights the dangers of interventions that are well-intentioned but ultimately lead to disastrous consequences. Today, modern healthcare practices must take heed of this lesson and recognize the importance of evidence-based practices in healthcare and economics. Moreover, mental models play a significant role in economic decision-making, and we must ensure that our models are accurate and not defective to avoid similar tragic outcomes. As we revisit George Washington’s legacy, we must learn from his experience and recognize the importance of evidence-based practices in preventing well-meaning interventions from causing more harm than good.
