President Joe Biden released a statement on Monday expressing support for his son, Hunter Biden, as jury selection in the younger Biden’s federal gun trial in Delaware got underway. The elder Biden made reference to his son’s effort to overcome drug addiction — a key factor in the felony charges at the heart of the case — and sought to emphasize his statement was a personal one as some have criticized him for previously speaking publicly about the federal investigation into Hunter Biden. “I am the President, but I am also a Dad,” President Biden said. “Jill and I love our son, and we are so proud of the man he is today. Hunter’s resilience in the face of adversity and the strength he has brought to his recovery are inspiring to us. A lot of families have loved ones who have overcome addiction and know what we mean.” “As the President, I don’t and won’t comment on pending federal cases, but as a Dad, I have boundless love for my son, confidence in him, and respect for his strength,” he added. “Our family has been through a lot together, and Jill and I are going to continue to be there for Hunter and our family with our love and support.” Hunter Biden, 54, faces two felony gun offenses for lying on paperwork to buy a revolver in 2018 and a third for owning that firearm for 11 days while being a drug addict, according to the Department of Justice. The first son pleaded not guilty to the charges, which could land Hunter Biden in prison for up to 25 years if he is convicted. First lady Jill Biden joined Hunter Biden and his wife, Melissa Cohen, at the courthouse in Wilmington, Delaware, for the first day of the trial. The Washington Post reported that the judge predicted jury selection could last until Wednesday and the trial is estimated to last up to two weeks. Witnesses may include Hunter Biden’s ex-wife, Kathleen Buhle, and his late brother Beau Biden’s wife, Hallie Biden, with whom Hunter Biden had a relationship after Beau Biden died of brain cancer in 2015. Hallie Biden, whose public disposal of the gun led up to the charges, received a visit from President Biden at her home last week. The trial in Delaware begins this week after a judge rejected Hunter Biden’s bid to delay the prosecution. Judge Maryellen Norieka also blocked an expert witness that Hunter Biden’s team hoped would testify and prevented them from using an annotated Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives form from 2021.

The trial in California had also been scheduled for June 20 but has since been pushed back to September. The indictments in both cases, which took shape after the collapse of a plea deal last year, are spearheaded by special counsel David Weiss. POLITICO recently cited unnamed advisers who said members of the first family are fretting how the “weight” of Hunter Biden going to trial will affect President Biden in an already difficult time politically. The report also noted that President Biden has expressed fears about the possibility that his son will end up serving prison time.

The man who raised more than half a million to throw a “rager” for the University of North Carolina fraternity brothers who protected the American flag from the horde of pro-Hamas protesters on their college campus has set a date for the party, promising that “every cent of donor dollars” will go to the event. The event, Flagstock 2024, will be held on Labor Day later this year, and will be free-of-charge for all invited guests. Though the exact location won’t be announced until closer to the event, organizers say “planning is in full swing.” “These great young guys defended our flag and created a unifying national cultural moment,” said John Noonan, a military veteran with a long career of work for Republican officeholders. “Everyone in America wanted to thank these fine young patriots. On Labor Day, we will get to do just that.” Noonan raised the money on GoFundMe after video of the UNC students holding up the flag in the face of angry anti-American protesters went viral. The fundraiser, which was closed after a few days, ended up at $515,517, leaving big expectations for the rager that was promised to the fraternity men.

(Thread) Today was a sad yet empowering day at Chapel Hill. When I walked to class, I saw the Palestinian flag raised on our quad flag pole, and was immediately upset at the act that these “protestors” had made. I cannot say I am fully educated on the Israel/Palestine conflict pic.twitter.com/tZrZEOSu8a — Guillermo Estrada (@estradguillermo) April 30, 2024 Country music star John Rich, an outspoken conservative and multi-platinum artist, has been enlisted to lead talent engagement for the event. The event says updates regarding plans for the rager will be posted at Flagstock.live. “Thank you to Americans of all stripes for their support,” Noonan said after he initially closed the fundraiser. “Done right, it will truly be ‘one for the ages’ — and will inspire Americans all over again.”    

The corpse flower, also called a voodoo flower, is a native rainforest plant of Western Sumatra, Indonesia. The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) lists it as “endangered” on the Red List of Threatened Plants, which makes it very rare. The United States Botanic Garden reports fewer than 1,000 individual plants remain in their native environment. The corpse flower will only bloom once every seven to ten years. Colorado State University recorded a time-lapse video of the College of Agricultural Sciences’ Conservatory plant named “Cosmo” blooming. A celebration was underway at Mitchell Park Domes in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, when their flower, “U’Reeka,” bloomed recently. A corpse flower bloom usually only lasts 24 to 48 hours. Normally closed on Tuesday, the Domes opened with extended hours to let people view and smell the rare bloom. The corpse flower bloom has a rotten smell, meant to attract insects that feed on dead animals. These insects, including dung beetles and other carnivorous insects, are necessary for natural pollination. When open, the bloom is a rich, red, meaty color, adding to the attraction for bugs. When cultivated in botanical gardens, the atmosphere mimics their native environment. Image from YouTube. Unlike the century plant, which blooms once and then dies, the corpse flower will bloom repeatedly every seven to ten years over its 30- to 40-year lifespan. Individual plants can grow as tall as 10 to 15 feet, and leaves can be as wide as 13 feet. Because of the unpredictable bloom cycle, horticulturists watch corpse flowers on closed-circuit TV (CCTV) feeds. Public gardens often extend their hours during blooms to allow people to see and smell the unique flowers. If this stinky story made you smile, please share it with plant lovers.
