Wesley Smith writes for National Review Online about the latest bad sign for the future of civilization. The West continues its love affair with the culture of death as the French National Assembly just voted to legalize euthanasia and assisted suicide, overriding the Senate’s rejection. I haven’t read the bill, but here are a few notes I discerned from various media reports: The bill does not require terminal illness.
More problems for former first son Hunter Biden
Chuck Ross writes for the Washington Free Beacon about the latest woes for a wayward Biden. Hunter Biden’s victory lap after securing a $1.7 million defamation judgment against former Overstock CEO Patrick Byrne was short-lived. Last week, a federal judge in California ordered Byrne to pay Biden for falsely accusing him of participating in an $800 million Iranian bribery scheme while his father was president.
Fetterman warns Dems not to drop support for Israel
Misty Severi writes for Just the News about a new warning from a leading Democratic US senator. Pennsylvania Democratic Sen. John Fetterman issued a warning to the Democratic Party on Wednesday, stating that he would leave it if the party officially turns its back on Israel.

M.D. Kittle of the Federalist has doubts about the authenticity of former President Joe Biden’s latest project. Son-of-a-gun. Turns out Joe Biden’s autopen can do more than pardon Covid villains and free Yemeni terrorists from Guantanamo Bay. The former president has written a book. A memoir. Yes, that requires a memory, so very likely the octogenarian with the mental acuity of a Hungry Man Salisbury steak dinner had a lot of help.

Economic news not as great as Trump claims
Jim Geraghty of National Review Online compares the president’s recent rhetoric with economic facts. Only an exceptionally small percentage of midterm election voters are spending much time thinking about the 2020 election. We’re all in a different place in our lives compared to six years ago.
Rubio is right about International Criminal Court
Noah Rothman writes for National Review about insightful comments from the US secretary of state. The Guardian probably didn’t set out to make Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s point when it critiqued the secretary of state’s searing condemnation of the International Criminal Court, but it did.
Ossoff pans billionaires, takes money from dozens
Andrew Kerr writes for the Washington Free Beacon about a Georgia Democrat’s actions failing to match his rhetoric condemning the rich. To Sen. Jon Ossoff (D., Ga.), the billionaires are to blame for driving the culture of corruption in American politics, and he has appointed himself as the man to put a stop to it. He could start by taking a look at his own campaign, which has accepted nearly $400,000 in campaign contributions from billionaires so far this election cycle.
