STEVE HILTON: Despite the fact that I now live in California, I was in the United Kingdom when the jury heard in the Brianna Ghey murder trial. When I watched the wall-to-wall news coverage, I couldn't believe what I was hearing. How could two children do something so utterly depraved? The vicious brutality that was embedded in this pre-planned evil. I was overcome with emotion as Esther, Brianna's mother, spoke with such vehement about her daughter's life at the hands of these pathetic monsters. Imagining the last things Brianna would have seen on this earth. How she must have felt. What kind of sickness could lead any human being to do something so unspeakable?

After the White House announced Iran-backed proxies in carrying out the drone strike that killed three US troops and injured more than 30 at a base in Jordan, Hawks in Congress, including Senator Lindsey Graham, are demanding that Biden 'hit them hard.'

Drone-making plants and proxy groups that have been established in Syria and Iraq are among the prospective targets that have been discussed. Some people are calling for attacks within Iran's territories, but the White House has stated consistently that it does not seek a 'wider conflict.'

Former Obama advisor David Axelrod claims the campaigns would'rip' the United States apart as warnings continue from both directions of the political spectrum over state's opposition of Donald Trump's potential to run on the 2024 ballot. Sen. Lindsey Graham said that Trump's assertion that he should have immunity from prosecution in connection with January 6 cases is "legitimate" because he was not involved in the Capitol riots that day. Last month, Colorado and Maine found that Trump is ineligible from running on the presidential ballot in their states due to his role in the rebellion. However, a swift Republican challenge in Colorado is keeping his name on the primary election ballot for the time being, unless the Supreme Court decides to uphold the state's decision to ban him from the race.
