Welcome to Thursday, December 10th, nomers and misnomers...
In a joint statement released with the Biden-Harris transition team on Wednesday, Hunter Biden announced that he has been informed that his tax affairs are under federal investigation.
“I learned yesterday for the first time that the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Delaware advised my legal counsel, also yesterday, that they are investigating my tax affairs. I take this matter very seriously but I am confident that a professional and objective review of these matters will demonstrate that I handled my affairs legally and appropriately, including with the benefit of professional tax advisors.”
It’s unclear what aspects of Hunter Biden’s tax affairs are under investigation, or whether this announcement may be a precursor to the appointment of a special counsel to handle the ongoing probe and deter the incoming Biden administration from halting it.

The Biden-Harris Transition followed up with a statement that read:
“President-elect Biden is deeply proud of his son, who has fought through difficult challenges, including the vicious personal attacks of recent months, only to emerge stronger.”
Should the investigation into Hunter Biden’s “tax affairs” continue? ([link removed])

** AZ GOP: Are You Willing to Die to Overturn Election Results?
------------------------------------------------------------
The Arizona Republican Party has asked its followers if they are willing to fight to the death for the cause of overturning the presidential election results.
The party's official Twitter account on Monday night shared this post:
In a follow-up tweet, which has since been deleted, the party included a clip from "Rambo" with the quote:

Arizona has certified President-elect Joe Biden’s victory in the state. There is no evidence of widespread fraud in the 2020 election, according to officials in most states - including Arizona - and U.S. Attorney General Bill Barr.
So... "Are you"? ([link removed])

** Biden's Defense Secretary Pick
------------------------------------------------------------
Retired General Lloyd Austin has been chosen to lead the Dept. of Defense. If confirmed, Austin would be the first African American Secretary of Defense. Austin is a West Point graduate who served in the U.S. Army for more than 40 years, rising to the rank of four-star general.
Following his retirement, Austin has served on the board of directors of defense contractor Raytheon Technologies, Tenet Healthcare Corporation, and Nucor Corporation (a large U.S. steel producer).
Some have taken issue with his handling of the rise of ISIS in Iraq and Syria as leader of Central Command, pointing to an article in The Atlantic which wrote in 2016 that Austin told the Obama White House that ISIS was “a flash in the pan” ― which prompted President Obama’s comment about ISIS being the “jayvee team” of terrorism. Austin disputes those comments and denied considering ISIS “a flash in the pan." A congressional panel found that CENTCOM tried to downplay the rise of ISIS and provided assessments that were more positive than actual events on the ground, sparking bipartisan criticism.
