Good morning from Washington,  where a key House committee is looking into the Biden family’s foreign business dealings and Twitter’s clampdown on the Hunter Biden laptop story. Fred Lucas has details. House Democrats vote no on condemning violence against pro-lifers and protecting babies who survive abortion, Mary Margaret Olohan reports.  On the podcast, Rep. Jim Banks tells Samantha Aschieris what’s wrong with the Justice Department. Plus: Jarrett Stepman skewers Biden’s border visit; Tyler O’Neil provides balance for education reform in Florida; and “Problematic Women” wonders what the president has against cooking with gas. On this date in 1904,  Henry Ford  sets a land-speed record of 91.37 mph on a frozen lake in Michigan while driving a four-wheel, wooded-chassis vehicle with no body or hood.
