James Comer said meant the President “lied to the American people.” Comer said Archer told the House Oversight Committee that while he was vice president, Joe Biden was put on a speakerphone at least 20 different times with Hunter's partners to “sell the brand.” The “brand” was the Biden family name. Democrats [downplayed the testimony](, saying that having his dad on the phone to meet-and-greet guests didn’t mean the President was involved in the actual deals. [Article Icon 3] Support for the Military Slips in America Public confidence in the military slipped to the [lowest level in 20 years](, a new Gallup Poll reports. Only 60% of Americans expressed high confidence, down from 64% last year. Even so, the military remains one of the most-trusted U.S. organizations, surpassed only by the broad category of “Small Business.” Across the board, American faith in major societal institutions is historically low. Ranked as the least-trusted institutions in the Gallup survey ([See Poll Results Here]() are Congress at 8%, big business and television news both at 14%, the criminal justice system at 17%, and newspapers at 18%. Arch Manning's 1st Trading Card Sets Record University of Texas freshman Arch Manning, grandson of football great Archie Manning and nephew of Eli and Peyton Manning, [set a new record]( with the sale of his first trading card for $102,500. The sale comes just a week after Manning signed a Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) deal with Panini America, a trading cards company. The price is the [most ever paid]( for a collegiate trading card. Manning hasn’t played a single college game yet, but at $102,000 his card topped his uncle Peyton Manning’s top card, which went for $72,000. All proceeds for the sale are going to children’s healthcare. --------------------------------------------------------------- Enjoy reading The Flyover?
