The Daily Signal - James Comer Explains Forensic Audit of Biden Scandals
The money and lies surrounding President Joe Biden and his family’s finances “dwarfs Watergate,” said House Oversight and Accountability Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky.
Comer joined The Daily Signal Podcast to talk about his new book, “All the President's Money:
Investigating the Secret Foreign Schemes That Made the Biden Family Rich.”
“The book is a forensic audit, and it describes in detail who the people were, why they wired the Bidens money, what they expected in return for the money,” Comer told The Daily Signal Podcast. “And then it shows how the money then would be laundered to the various shell companies and then go down to the Biden family.”

NBN Book of the Day - Bruce Lieberman and Niles Eldredge, “Macroevolutionaries: Reflections on Natural History, Paleontology, and Stephen Jay Gould” (Columbia UP, 2024)
One of the twentieth century's great paleontologists and science writers, Stephen Jay Gould was, for Bruce S. Lieberman and Niles Eldredge, also a close colleague and friend. In Macroevolutionaries: Reflections on Natural History, Paleontology, and Stephen Jay Gould (Columbia UP, 2024), they take up the tradition of Gould's acclaimed essays on natural history, offering a series of wry and insightful reflections on the fields to which they have devoted their careers.
Lieberman and Eldredge explore the major features of evolution, or "macroevolution," examining key issues in paleontology and their links to popular culture, philosophy, music, and the history of science. They focus on topics such as punctuated equilibria, mass extinctions, and the history of life--with detours including trilobites, Hollywood stuntmen, coywolves, birdwatching, and New Haven-style pizza. Lieberman and Eldredge's essays showcase their deep knowledge of the fossil record and keen appreciation of the arts and culture while touching on different aspects of Gould's life and work. Ultimately, they show why Gould's writings and perspective are still relevant today, following his lead in using the natural history essay to articulate their view of evolutionary theory and its place in contemporary life. At once thought-provoking and entertaining, Macroevolutionaries is for all readers interested in paleontology, evolutionary biology, and Gould's literary and scientific legacy.

The Gist - BEST OF THE GIST: Wildfire Edition
Each weekend on Best of The Gist, we revisit an archival segment from the past and replay something from the past week.
This weekend, two selections from the near vault, inspired by the devastating fires in and around Los Angeles over the last week or more. First, Mike’s June 12, 2023, Spiel about the Canadian wildfires that many thought would change minds on climate change—even if we’re not certain they were entirely the result of climate change.
Then, we revisit the intro to our Aug. 18, 2023, episode, in which Mike discusses Herman Andaya, Maui’s emergency chief, who decided not to sound sirens before the fires scorched Lahaina. It seems like an obvious mistake, but all the officials agreed that doing so would have contradicted policy—and perhaps even posed a danger.
