President Biden’s announcement that he had pardoned his son, Hunter Biden, rattled the political world late Sunday. The president argued in a statement on Sunday that the charges brought against his son, which included three felony charges on his purchase and possession of a gun in 2018, came about due to political reasons. “No reasonable person who looks at the facts of Hunter’s cases can reach any other conclusion than Hunter was singled out only because he is my son – and that is...

President Biden has privately expressed guilt for years about the investigations and convictions of his son Hunter. Late Sunday night, he tried to lighten that guilt by giving him a broad pardon. Why it matters: Biden's pardon marks the end of a central drama of his presidency that has both weighed him down and propelled him forward. Biden knew that being president brought further scrutiny on his son. But Hunter also found purpose and sobriety in his dad...

Syrian rebels forced out of their homes eight years ago are returning with their families after almost a decade of exile in the opposition’s enclave of Idlib. The fighters, some of them jihadists, were driven out of the Aleppo region after a successful government offensive in 2016. But after last week’s lightning-fast offensive pushed government forces out of the area, many were seen making a tearful return to those left behind. One video that circulated on social media...

We always knew Joe Biden would pardon his troubled son Hunter, no matter how many times he promised he wouldn’t.  So it is fitting that one of the final acts of this mendacious president before leaving office was to break yet another promise to the American people.  Thus on Sunday night, the president issued a statement from the White House declaring that he had just signed a “Full and Unconditional Pardon” for Robert Hunter Biden, 54. The pardon Joe vowed he would never...

It's been a big week for Joe Biden's presidential pardons. He kicked it off by sparing a pair of turkeys and wrapped it up by gobbling up controversy, pardoning his son Hunter. Biden had previously promised Americans he would not use his clemency power to shield his son from the two criminal cases against him. That pledge lasted about as long as Thanksgiving leftovers. I've previously argued that, compared to the authority granted to all the other...

President Joe Biden's decision to pardon his son, Hunter Biden, less than two weeks before his sentencing was, in my view, the right thing to do. It was an act of compassion and a practical solution to a legal case that had become hopelessly entangled in partisan politics. But while the pardon itself may have been justified, the president's repeated and unequivocal denials that he would ever consider such a move were deeply damaging. It was obvious to anyone following the situation...

Corey Taylor, the Slipknot/Stone Sour frontman, released his debut solo album, “CMFT,” in ’20. The album contained ““Black Eyes Blue,” which had a two-week run at #1 on Billboard‘s Mainstream Rock Songs chart. Black Eyes Blue “CMFT,” which went to #44 on the Billboard 200 (#6 on the Top Rock Albums survey) was a departure from Taylor’s previous work. Taylor’s sophomore effort, “CMF2,″ was produced by Jay Ruston. He also worked on “CMFT.” “We’re not afraid to tell each other if it’s a good idea, or also a bad one; we have that kind of trust,” explained Taylor. He flatly stated the set “the best Rock album of this year and the next.” The set’s featured tracks were, “Beyond,” Taylor’s second solo #1 on the Mainstream Rock Airplay chart, “Post Traumatic Blues,” “We Are The Rest” and “Talk Sick.”  Beyond Talk Sick “That sick guitar at the beginning (of “Talk Sick”), I played that through a speaker about the size of a coffee cup. It made it sound violent; you feel like you’re being stung by bees who are playing along to the Sex Pistols,” revealed Taylor. He recorded the album with his solo band: Christian Martucci (guitar), Zach Throne (guitar) Eliot Lorango (bass) and Dustin Robert (drums). ### The post Corey Taylor appeared first on RockinTown.
