nick, mike, great work and congratulations to your parents. merry christmas to you. rachel: third hour of fox and friends starts now. lawrence: fox news alert, the house voted for an impeachment inquiry. steve: his son hunter biden could be held in contempt of congress for skipping a closed-door deposition yesterday on capitol hill. hillary vaughn was chasing hunter biden yesterday. hunter biden could be facing jail time. he was not a no-show, he did show up on capitol hill, but he ditched the deposition and made his case to the press. in the depths of my addiction, i was irresponsible with my finances, but to suggest that is grounds for impeachment inquiry is groabsurd. there is no evidence to point to my father being financially involved in my business because it did not happen. hunter did not want to take questions behind closed doors. he wouldn take our questions either out in the open on camera. mr. biden, was it worth it trying to sell the family name?

Tribal nations in the United States are leading a “Rights of Nature” movement to enshrine the inherent rights of the natural world — including plants, animals, and lands and waters — into law. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians in northern Michigan passed a resolution in defense of the tribe’s first family: its natural resources. Further, the tribe says it “recognize[s] that to protect our more than human relatives and our people, we must secure highest protection through the recognition of legal rights, and call upon the bands of the Anishinaabeg Nation, and other relevant federations, commissions, and government entities, to secure and protect the legal rights of More Than Human Relatives and our peoples.”
Article: European Court of Human Rights Shows Religion Not Required for Morality - The European Court of Human Rights last week ruled that the religious practice of slaughtering animals while they re fully conscious, as is required by Islam and Judaism, is a violation of morality. This helps to make the important point that religion is not necessary for people to be moral.
