From Townhall, some illegal alien children let in by President Biden have gone missing.

From The Washington Free Beacon, media organizations ignore Biden's norm-defying call with former Afghan President Ghani.  (The article does not use the word "former" to describe Ghani, but since he has fled Afghanistan, I believe that the term now applies to him.)
