A Compromised Secret
Service – The agency has sacrificed its basic mission on the altar of DEI Christopher F. Rufo On Saturday, a gunman whom the FBI has identified as Thomas Matthew Crooks fired a burst of rifle shots at former president Donald Trump, grazing his ear and nearly killing him. The attempted assassination is an historic, and perilous, moment. We’ll get commentaries and investigations, and the government will announce reforms. But amid all the chaos weaves the thread of another story, one that reveals a mounting problem in our political life. A surprising number of the Secret Service agents protecting the former president were women. And, according to video recordings of the scene, many did not acquit themselves favorably.  Claim: Clinton and Biden Hate Talk Made Trump Shooting ‘inevitable’ Paul Bedard When 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks shot into former President Donald Trump’s rally on Saturday, the assassination attempt probably didn’t surprise political commentator Tammy Bruce. For over two decades, Bruce has been warning about the hate-and-fear talk spouted by leftists. In her latest book, simply titled Fear Itself, she has pointed to the violent descriptions used by Trump’s opponents, Hillary Rodham Clinton and President Joe Biden, and how they threatened the former president. After Clinton denounced half the country with her “deplorables” smear and Biden attacked Trump’s supporters as “semi-fascist” and threats to democracy, there was just one step left. |

| Joe Biden Drops Out of Presidential
Race, Endorses Kamala Harris President Biden announced Sunday he is dropping out of the race against former President Donald Trump, ceding to unrelenting pressure from Democrats who said his declining abilities and poll numbers would drag down the party and lead to certain defeat in November. The move upends the 2024 presidential race just weeks before early voting begins and leaves Democrats scrambling to anoint a new ticket. Mr. Biden endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris to lead the ticket. |

| Theory on Why Democrats Need Biden
Out So Badly Is Frightening A new theory has emerged on the right that Democrats are trying to push President Joe Biden out because he doesn’t command enough support for them to hide “another steal” effort. The theory is based on an older theory that the 2020 presidential election was effectively “stolen” through uninvestigated voter fraud and irregularities, not to mention mail-in ballots and ballot harvesting. The newest theory was posited Thursday on the social media platform X by a user named Trevor Goss: “The steal only worked in 2020 because Biden’s higher polling numbers made it ‘plausible,'” he tweeted. “Few rational people believe Biden actually won given the bellwether counties data and countless other inconsistencies, but from the steal standpoint, it was close enough that it could be in the range of believable to a segment of the population.” |

| Republicans Say Joe Biden Must Give
Up Presidency Now Republicans said Sunday that President Biden’s decision to withdraw from the 2024 campaign doesn’t go far enough and he must relinquish the White House immediately. Sen. Marsha Blackburn said the decision to withdraw is an acknowledgment he’s not up to the job. “But he didn’t go far enough. If Joe is too weak to stay in the race for the presidency, he should resign as our Commander-in-Chief immediately,” the Tennessee Republican said. |

| 'Not fit to serve': Speaker Johnson
Leads GOP Demands for Biden to Resign from Presidency Republican lawmakers are calling on President Biden to resign from office immediately after he announced he will not seek re-election in November. Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., said in a statement, "If Joe Biden is not fit to run for President, he is not fit to serve as President. He must resign the office immediately. November 5 cannot arrive soon enough." "If the Democrat party has deemed Joe Biden unfit to run for re-election, he's certainly unfit to control our nuclear codes," House Majority Whip Tom Emmer, R-Minn., said minutes after the bombshell news broke. "Biden must step down from office immediately." |

| The 'Right To Try': Democrats Avail Themselves of Experimental Treatment Washington Free Beacon Editors President Joe Biden on Sunday euthanized his presidential campaign and handed party bigwigs -- George Clooney, Chuck Schumer, and Nancy Pelosi -- what they were demanding: the right to embark on an experiment to put up a candidate whose odds of winning in November are better than Biden's. Nobody knows how this venture into the unknown will end. Perhaps Americans will come to appreciate Kamala Harris's long-hidden charm and political acumen. Call it the Democratic Party's version of "Right to Try," the 2018 measure signed into law by then-president Donald Trump expanding access to experimental treatments for terminally ill patients. |

| Jill Biden Drops Out of
Presidential Race Jill Biden has formally dropped out of the 2024 presidential race, she announced today at a press conference that was supposed to be for her husband. "I cannot in good conscience continue," the acting president said as her husband wandered around somewhere backstage. Journalists expressed shock and disappointment to learn that not only has Joe Biden been a decrepit old man for the last three years – he hasn't even been president. |

| Biden’s Hometown AG Cares Less About the Constitution Than He Does Democrats control Delaware’s entire General Assembly, the governor’s office and most boards, commissions, judgeships and appointments.

There are red flags, universal background checks, homemade firearm prohibitions and don’t even think of standing your ground. Everytown ranks The First State 12th nationally in terms of its anti-gun laws. In fact, the state has become a gun controller’s dream. |

| Thomas Matthew Crooks, Would-Be
Trump Assassin, Was a Sharpshooter, Gun Range Classmate Says Air Force veteran Bill Jenkins said Crooks, 20, was very comfortable handling firearms when the two were the only students at a June 22 intermediate handgun course in Cranberry, Pennsylvania. “The course went on for three hours and I could see this kid was confident with guns,” Mr. Jenkins, 62, told The Sun, a British tabloid. “When we went to the range he started shooting straight away. It seemed like he had experience with weapons.” |

| Federal Appeals Court Blocks All of Biden's Student Loan Debt Handout Plan A federal appeals court on Thursday issued a ruling that blocks the Biden administration from continuing to implement a new version of its student loan debt handout plan that is designed to reduce monthly payments for borrowers. The U.S. Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals granted a request by seven Republican states to block portions of the Education Department's plan that a lower court judge hadn't previously blocked... "The Court granted our emergency motion to BLOCK Joe Biden's entire illegal student loan plan, which would have saddled working Americans with half-a-trillion dollars in Ivy League debt," Bailey wrote in a post on X, formerly Twitter. "HUGE win for every American who still believes in paying their own way." |

| Fani Willis Concealed Trump
Investigation in Budget Request, Officials Say A Trump co-defendant in the Georgia election interference case accused Willis in a January motion of not receiving approval from the Fulton County Board of Commissioners to appoint her former lover Nathan Wade as special prosecutor, and that she paid him using funds requested to clear a backlog of cases from the COVID-19 pandemic. Fulton County Board of Commissioners Robb Pitts and county Chief Financial Officer Sharon Whitmore said during the hearing that Willis never disclosed she would use the funds to probe Trump. “So she hadn’t really told you how she spent the money?” Georgia Senate Majority Leader Bill Cowsert asked later, to which Pitts responded “no sir.” |

| The Big Lie Du Jour: “Project 2025” Is Corporate Media’s Hail Mary JD Rucker Donald Trump has renounced Project 2025 on multiple occasions. So has J.D. Vance. Yet corporate media continues to gaslight the American people with incessant articles about how awful it would be if Trump wins because of Project 2025. This is “The Big Lie” of this middle phase of the election cycle. Nobody in corporate media actually believes a Trump administration would even read the 900-pages of Project 2025, let alone implement any parts of it that weren’t already part of the Trump vision, Agenda47. But they will continue to pretend that the Project 2025 plan, built and promoted by the Heritage Foundation, is what Americans should expect if Trump wins. |

| Supreme Slapdown Maker S. Mark Monday morning saw Judge Aileen Cannon in Florida dismiss the classified documents case. Of course, liberal pundits are losing their minds. The other case that was on hold, but in theory is still open, is the January 6 case in the D.C. district. All liberal hopes and dreams now turn to that case moving forward. I am not going to dive into the numerous issues with all this, but focus on the SCOTUS opinion regarding presidential immunity and how it just might generally impact even that D.C. case. |

Markings of a Joe Biden Op Jim Geraghty The Gaza Pier -- you know, the one where the U.S. and allied countries unloaded food, so it could be stolen off trucks before reaching its intended destination -- is no longer operational, and it will be out of operation for “at least over a week.” It turns out that the pier system was not intended to be used in waters with waves higher than three feet, and three-foot waves occur in that part of the Mediterranean Sea frequently. We know that Pentagon officials can read a weather and surf report. Now the question is, did someone in the administration tell them to go ahead with the operation, knowing the risks? |

| VA Official Says Agency Won’t
Follow Law Protecting Veterans Gun Rights If Passed Debate over federal legislation designed to protect veterans from having their gun rights infringed by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs simply for having someone help them with their finances is getting contentious. A U.S. House of Representatives hearing on Wednesday focused on the “Veterans Second Amendment Protection Act,” which would reverse the policy for reporting to the National Instant Criminal Background System (NICS) when a veteran has appointed a financial fiduciary to handle his or her monetary affairs. The VA deems a veteran appointing a fiduciary to be mentally incompetent, barring them from purchasing a firearm as a result. |

| Seattle May Jolt Electric Rates Due to High Demand as State Pushes Electrification The City of Seattle is expecting rates for City Light customers to rise 5.4% next year due to increasing demand, extreme weather, and impacts of low-water flow on hydroelectric generation capacity, even as the state continues to push for a total transition to clean energy. According to Seattle City Light CEO Dawn Lindell, retail demand from building electrification is growing three times faster than projected in 2022, and transportation electrification demand has increased 70% above 2022 estimates. “In a matter of years, demand will outpace energy savings from efficiency,” Lindell said at a Seattle City Light Strategic Plan update. |

| Governor Newsom’s Unpopularity
Might Have Something to Do With His Extreme Mandates That Make Life Unaffordable Ronald Stein, P.E. California’s emission mandates do an excellent job of increasing the cost of electricity, products, and fuels to its citizens. In California, the economy depends on affordable, reliable, and ever-cleaner electricity and fuels. Unfortunately, policymakers are driving up California’s electric and gas prices, and California now has the highest electricity and fuel prices in the nation. Governor Newsom remains oblivious to the fact that “Mandatory Emissions (just in wealthy countries) To Achieve Net-Zero Is A Fool’s Game”. |

| World’s Most Populous Nation Has

Other Countries Should Follow Suit Vijay Jayaraj During his debate with former President Donald Trump, President Joe Biden claimed: “The only existential threat to humanity is climate change.” What if I told you that it is not climate change but climate policies that are the real existential threat to billions across our planet? The allure of a green utopia masks the harsh realities of providing affordable and reliable electricity. Americans could soon wake up to a dystopian future if the proposed Net Zero and Build Back Better initiatives – both aimed at an illogical proliferation of unreliable renewables and a clamp down on dependable fossil fuels – are implemented. |

| Electricity Rationing at Charging
Stations Due to Limited Charging Infrastructure in Europe P Gosselin Charging station operator now levying extra fee if you take too long to charge your electric car. The aim: “fairer distribution”. For example, in Germany, if drivers take more than 45 minutes to charge their electric cars at an Allegro fast-charger, then they will have to pay an extra 25 cents-euro for each additional minute of charging beyond 45 minutes. “This measure is intended to ensure a fairer distribution of the charging infrastructure and prevent unnecessary over-parking, writes Blackout News. This just means more burden on e-car drivers. Either they leave the charging station not fully charge and look for another charging station, or they pay extra to charge fully. |

| ESG Push for Net-Zero Emissions in
Agriculture Will Destroy Farms, Raise Food Prices, Group Warns Consumers’ Research, a consumer advocacy nonprofit group, launched a six-figure campaign this month to raise awareness about the threat posed by environment, social and governance (ESG) on agriculture. This effort will, according to Consumers’ Research, will drive up the cost of operation on America’s farms and increase food prices at a time when consumers are already struggling with the impacts of inflation on their grocery bills. “A lot has been made of the net zero push on the fossil fuel industry, and people are starting to wake up to the implications it has on the electrical grid. The reason we launched this campaign is we want to make sure people understand it goes farther than that – all the way to the apple that you buy at the grocery store,” Will Hild, executive director of Consumers’ Research, told Just the News. |

| Federal Regulators Shut Down Wind
Farm After Turbine Failure, "sharp fiberglass shards" Wash Ashore Off Martha's Vineyard The federal government has ordered the Vineyard Wind farm to shut down until further notice because of a turbine blade failure this weekend. Several beaches were closed on Tuesday while crews worked to clean up "large floating debris and fiberglass shards" from the broken wind turbine blade off the coast of Martha's Vineyard. A total of six south shore Nantucket beaches were closed to swimming due to debris that washed ashore.  Not Bows and Flows of Angel Hair: It's Shards of Razor Sharp Fiberglass Everywhere Beege Welborn If you have a ferry ticket or one of those Ron DeSantis private flights into Nantucket this weekend, you can save yourself a little luggage weight by leaving your bathing suit, snorkeling gear, and Great White Off! Spray at home. Turns out the beaches are closed because of sharp objects in the water, but it's not shark chomps and toofers that's the problem this time. It's what happens when one of your totally Green, totally environmentally friendly, totally renewable, totally … expensive, largest spinning fugly thing on earth's fiberglass blade blows apart a couple of miles offshore.  Fiberglass from Shredded Wind Turbine Blades Renders Farming Land Useless Farmers foolish enough to enter contracts with wind power outfits soon live to regret it. Having their land permanently contaminated by shredded fiberglass when turbines explode into balls of flame and/or their blades merely disintegrate (known in the trade as “component liberation”) is just one of a list of disasters waiting to happen. At first blush, being paid an annual license fee of $10-25,000 per turbine, per year sounds lucrative enough. However, put that against the $600,000 plus cost of demolishing and removing a single turbine, and the deal soon loses its gloss. Indeed, the ultimate multi-million-dollar cost of removing dozens of turbines from a farming property, makes the piddling revenue stream look like chump change. |

| Ohio Lawmakers Look to Stop Foreign
Entity Land Buys A bill expected to be taken up by the Ohio House later this year would stop specific foreign countries from buying land near an Ohio military installation or critical infrastructure. The bill, sponsored by Sen. Terry Johnson, R-McDermott, already passed the Senate with just one no vote and no opposition testimony in committee. "It is absurd to think that our adversaries can purchase land within close distance to our state's military hubs and infrastructure sites, threatening our national security," Johnson said. "Communist Chinese firms and companies alone own 380,000 acres of our country’s farmland. Ohio’s land should not be for sale to those who seek to destroy the American way of life.” |

| California Proposal to Allow
Discrimination to Help 'marginalized' Quietly Fails A controversial bill to amend California’s constitution to allow for discrimination that helps “marginalized” groups failed to be heard in the State Senate before a July deadline to make it on the November ballot. The proposed change was part of a 14-bill slavery reparations package from the California Legislative Black Caucus. The bill, ACA 7, was authored by Assemblymember Corey Jackson, D-Moreno Valley, and would have spawned a ballot measure to create an exemption to the state constitution’s ban on racial discrimination or preferences in public employment, education, and contracting. Constitutional amendments can be proposed by a ? vote in both the State Assembly and Senate and put into effect by a majority of voters. |

| Musk Says SpaceX, X Moving HQs Out
of California Over Transgender Law Tech billionaire Elon Musk on Tuesday said he will move the headquarters for his aerospace company, SpaceX, and social media company, X, out of California, after Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) signed a bill banning school districts from requiring parents to be notified if their child decides to change their gender identity. “This is the final straw. Because of this law and the many others that preceded it, attacking both families and companies, SpaceX will now move its HQ from Hawthorne, California, to Starbase, Texas,” Musk wrote on X Tuesday. Gavin Newsom's Anti-Parent Transgender Lunacy Chases SpaceX HQ to Texas Stephen Kruiser I left California almost six-and-a-half years ago, before Newsom began his commie reign of error. The state had already begun its inexorable slide off of the leftist cliff, but there was still enough to love about it that I wasn't fleeing in a hurry. Since returning to my native Arizona, a good many of my conservative friends have hot-footed it out of California. What's happened to the state now that it is under the thumb of Newsom and a Democratic super-majority in Sacramento is tragic. |

Help Block His Title IX Gender Identity Regulation Judicial skepticism of the Biden administration's Title IX regulation, which interprets the 52-year-old law prohibiting sex discrimination in federally funded education as also covering gender identity, has leapt from federal district courts to appeals courts, including one known for putting First Amendment rights over students' feelings. The 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals' declining Wednesday to stay a preliminary injunction by U.S. District Judge Danny Reeves could signal hurdles for the regulation in other circuits, given that President Biden's own nominee joined Republican nominees on the three-judge panel in questioning the gender-identity provisions, though not the whole regulation. |

| How Many Times Can You
Describe Someone As an Existential Threat Before This Happens Tom Knighton On Friday, I noted how many of the Democrats describing former President Donald Trump may describe him as an “existential threat to democracy” but they clearly don’t believe that.

| Wading Into the Fray Jeffrey Carter I maintain Lincoln’s was the most pivotal assassination in American history. Lincoln’s death paved the way for Southern Democrats to enforce Jim Crow and 100 more years of discrimination.

You’d also know Democrat President FDR refused to shut down lynchings for fear of losing votes. The culture in the Democratic Party is corrupt and reprehensible. |

| The Biblical Roots of American Law
and Why It's Necessary to Return to Them S.A. McCarthy America is at a crisis point. While it’s easy to dismiss presidential candidates brashly proclaiming November to be the most important election in the nation’s history as mere votemongering, their words may have a kernel of truth at their center. At present, America is facing something of an identity crisis: the principles and truths upon which the nation was founded have been largely shouldered out of the public square, leaving a sort of vacuum which demands to be filled. The question before the nation now is whether to restore those principles and truths to their rightful place or attempt to retroactively replace the country’s foundation, which will likely result in chaos and will certainly result in the creation and proliferation of an entity radically different to the United States which has stood for nearly 250 years. |

| Gaza and the Truth Famine Tom Lennie An even bigger story of media misinformation in recent weeks has been the allegation – widely accepted as fact – that Israel has been deliberately starving the people of Gaza. This story was promulgated by the United Nations and has been repeated ad nauseam across global mainstream media for weeks on end. Before the conflict, in 2022, despite billions of dollars of aid money being poured into the Gaza Strip, 14 per cent of the population faced hunger. The reality would appear to be that they are better provisioned now than when Hamas was in charge. There has been no apology from the media for their mammoth misinformation campaign. |

Among the first to tell us just how fine a man Biden was Barack Obama, who called his former vice president “someone who has fought for ordinary folks his entire life.” It is, of course, a lie. Biden is not a good man, and the idea he’s “fought for ordinary folks” for even a single day of his “public service” is risible. Obama’s tweet also claimed that Biden is the candidate “who knows right from wrong and will give it to the American people straight.” From there, the gaslighting grew exponentially worse.

| House Dems Launch United Effort
Against Election Bill Requiring Voters Prove Citizenship House Democrats launched a united effort to vote against a Republican-backed election bill that would require voters provide proof of citizenship to cast ballots in federal elections. Republicans are pushing the passage of the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act, otherwise known as the SAVE Act, which would amend the National Voter Registration Act, and require states to obtain proof of citizenship from voters for federal elections, as well as purge noncitizens from voter rolls. Biden Formally Opposes Bill Requiring Voters Prove Citizenship President Joe Biden formally rejected on Monday a bill in Congress that would require individuals to show proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote in elections for federal office. A policy statement from the Biden administration said it “strongly opposes” the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, which was introduced by Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) earlier this year and is expected to get a vote in the Republican-led House as early as this week, but did not mention the prospect of a veto. |

Science. Unfortunately, It’s Broken. Paul Sutter Modern science is hard, complex, and built from many layers and many years of hard work. And modern science, almost everywhere, is based on computation. Save for a few (and I mean very few) die-hard theorists who insist on writing things down with pen and paper, there is almost an absolute guarantee that with any paper in any field of science that you could possibly read, a computer was involved in some step of the process. The sheer complexity of modern science, and its reliance on customized software, renders one of the frontline defenses against soft and hard fraud useless. That defense is peer review. |

| How to Commit Global Suicide: End Fossil Fuels Without a Suitable Replacement Ronald Stein and Gregory Wrightstone The world now sustains eight billion people – ten times the population before the Industrial Revolution, and thankfully has experienced record crop production. This rapid increase in agricultural output is partially attributable to an increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) since 1940. This rise in CO2 levels alone is linked to major yield increases for corn, soybeans, and wheat. The world has also experienced significant economic growth and prosperity, benefiting from the more than 6,000 products that are derived from fossil fuels. New Study: Plants Absorb Far More CO2 Than Once Thought, Slowing Climate Change Sarah Knapton Plants will absorb 20 percent more carbon dioxide than predicted by the end of the century, a new study has found, suggesting climate models are overestimating how fast the planet will warm. Trinity College Dublin said its research painted an “uncharacteristically upbeat picture for the planet” after finding models had failed to take into account all the elements of photosynthesis. During photosynthesis, green plants use light energy from the sun to convert carbon dioxide, water, and minerals into the sugars they need for growth. |
Imagine: Climate ‘models’ fail to take account of plant growth! |
| Climate “Communicators” Say Best
Way to Persuade Voters About Global Warming Is to Lie to Them Ethan Huff, Natural News Blue Rose Research data scientist David Shor recently conducted a poll on the best and worst forms of public messaging about climate change. He found that the most effective climate “communicators” are those who point-blank lie to the public about global warming. Shor did not say it this way, of course, and we are not speaking for him on the subject. What we are saying is that everything in the “best” messaging column is a lie if you actually look into it. According to the poll, the “best messages ever tested” include the following false claims about the “benefits” of climate tyranny: |

| Despite Plunging EV Sales, Biden
Cuts Another Huge Taxpayer Check to Carmakers to Go Electric Nick Pope The Biden administration announced Thursday that it is spending billions of dollars more to help automakers mass-produce electric vehicles (EVs). The Department of Energy (DOE) is spending $1.7 billion to help manufacturers convert closed or struggling manufacturing facilities to produce EVs or EV components in eight states, including swing states like Pennsylvania and Georgia, as the American EV market struggles. The funding complements $12 billion the DOE unveiled in August 2023 to help major manufacturers retrofit plants for EV production, and the agency projects that the cash announced Thursday will allow for the retention of 15,000 union workers while creating nearly 3,000 jobs. |

| EV Trucks Mandate Draconian, API
Says Trucking Industry, Agriculture Threatened by EPA Bob Campbell The American Petroleum Institute has filed suit in the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals, saying the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s heavy duty vehicle emissions standards for the model years 2027-2032 are unworkable and would severely damage the trucking industry with the imposition of electrically powered trucks. “Today we are standing up for consumers who rely on trucks to deliver the goods they use every single day,” said API Senior Vice President and General Counsel Ryan Meyers. “The EPA is forcing a switch to technology that simply does not presently exist for these kinds of vehicles. Even if it were someday possible, it would almost certainly have consequences for your average American,” Meyers said. “This is sadly yet another example of this administration pushing unpopular policy mandates that lack statutory authority and we look forward to holding them accountable in court.” |

Removed Over Disparaging Texts Containing 'Antisemitic Tropes' Three Columbia University deans have been “permanently removed” from their posts for sharing “very troubling” texts that “disturbingly touched on ancient antisemitic tropes,” school officials said Monday.

| Evolutionary Biologist: Two Sexes
Exist Maggie Kelly A biologist defended a cornerstone scientific concept in the Wall Street Journal: only two sexes exist, male and female; and they are different. “When biologists claim that sex is binary, we mean something straightforward: There are only two sexes,” according to scholar Colin Wright. 'This is true throughout the plant and animal kingdoms. An organism’s sex is defined by the type of gamete (sperm or ova) it has the function of producing. Males have the function of producing sperm, or small gametes; females, ova, or large ones. Because there is no third gamete type, there are only two sexes. Sex is binary.' |
Sex is binary. Get used to it. |

| Missouri Joins States' Suit Over
Biden Order On Fed-Backed Gender Transition Procedures Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey is leading a coalition of seven states – including South Dakota – challenging a rule by the Biden administration that would preempt state restrictions on gender-affirming care. Filed in United States District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri on Wednesday, the states are seeking to block the regulation and prevent the federal government from enforcing similar mandates... The rule was set to go into effect July 5, with some provisions beginning later. But another coalition of attorneys general succeeded in their petition to block its implementation just two days prior. The judge in that case cited the recent U.S. Supreme Court decision to overturn “Chevron Deference,” a precedent that gave regulatory authority to federal agencies when statute is unclear. |

| Forbidden Fruit and the Classroom:
The Huge American Sex-Abuse Scandal That Educators Scandalously Suppress James Varney, RealClearInvestigations Every day millions of parents put their children under the care of public school teachers, administrators, and support staff. Their trust, however, is frequently broken by predators in authority in what appears to be the largest ongoing sexual abuse scandal in our nation’s history. Given the roughly 50 million students in U.S. K-12 schools each year, the number of students who have been victims of sexual misconduct by school employees is probably in the millions each decade, according to multiple studies. Such numbers would far exceed the high-profile abuse scandals that rocked the Roman Catholic Church and the Boy Scouts of America. |

| Seven GOP-led States Sue to Block
Biden's New Anti-Discrimination Healthcare Rule Missouri and six other GOP-led states filed a lawsuit Wednesday against a new rule aimed at preventing discrimination in healthcare based on one's sex or gender identity, accusing the Biden administration of governmental overreach. The states argue the proposed rule distorts the Affordable Care Act to compel doctors and states to perform and prescribe gender-affirming healthcare under threat of losing federal funding and access to federally funded programs, such as Medicare, Medicaid and the Children's Health Insurance Program. The rule was temporary halted by a judge two days before it was to go into effect last week. |

| How
Biden’s Bad Debate Exposed the Legacy Media Ben Shapiro Before 2008, the legacy media – while always leaning to the political left – had maintained a patina of objectivity. When Bill Clinton lied to the American people about his affair with Monica Lewinsky, they belatedly pounced. When John Kerry’s campaign began to crater, they reluctantly covered it. They were, to be sure, oriented against Republican candidates and policies. But they recognized that their credibility innately relied on the public’s perception that they could put their own biases aside long enough to report accurately even on those with whom they agreed. Public trust in the media had been in a steady state of decline since the late 1990s – according to Gallup, 53 percent of Americans said they had a great deal or fair amount of trust in the media in 1997; in 2007, that number was 47 percent. Then came Barack Obama. |

| The Left-Wing Media Has
Seen the Decline of Joe Biden for Years, and Now It's Out in the Open Miranda Devine Carl Bernstein just let the cat out of the bag about the media conspiracy to hide Joe Biden’s long-running cognitive collapse from voters. The former fabled Watergate reporter-turned-Trump-derangement merchant told CNN this week that he knew of 15 or 20 occasions in the past 18 months when Joe Biden’s brain has malfunctioned as it did during last week’s debate. Several people “who are very close to President Biden ... are adamant that what we saw the other night, the Joe Biden we saw, is not a one-off ... In the last six months particularly there has been a marked incidence of cognitive decline.” |

| The Establishment Is Getting Crushed David Strom If you look at the elections going on in the West, you may notice a pattern. It's not liberals or conservatives winning so much as parties out of power beating those who are clearly members of the ruling Establishment. Now, it's true that, for the most part, the left or center-left has been holding power in most places, so it looks like conservatives are ascendant, but things aren't quite so cut-and-dried – most notably in the United Kingdom, where the nominally conservative party is about to get trounced. What seems to be going on is a universal dissatisfaction with how the ruling elite have been running things, and with good reason. |

Revenues from Canceled Federal Oil and Gas Leases Patty Sullivan | State Department of Law Tuesday the State of Alaska filed suit seeking to recover lost revenues from nine canceled federal oil and gas leases covering lands on the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge’s Coastal Plain. “Oil and gas production from those leases could greatly contribute to our nation’s energy independence and the economy of our state,” said Alaska Governor Mike Dunleavy. “This about-face by the federal government opposes the direction given by Congress and deprives Alaska of our natural resource rights.” As a condition of joining the Union, Alaska was promised the ability to build its economy through resource development. |

| $5B for EV Infrastructure Yields
Just 11 Charging Stations Almost three years after Congress threw $5 billion at a program meant to boost electric vehicle charging infrastructure in the United States, the funds have yielded just 11 power stations across seven states. None are in Michigan. The slow rollout of the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Program has frustrated some lawmakers, as the "vast majority" of publicly available chargers across the country – critical to building consumer confidence in EVs – have come from private sector deployments, Federal Highway Administration head Shailen Bhatt acknowledged in a May Senate committee meeting. |

| Three Out of Four EV Charging
Developers Say They Can’t Get Enough Electricity for Their Stations Businesses building electric vehicle charging stations say that finding enough electricity is a major – perhaps fatal – problem. Of the 211 developers surveyed by Xendee, a California-based software company, 75% said that electric grid limitations are among the biggest roadblock to building EV charging infrastructure. The total cost of the infrastructure was a problem for 63% of the respondents, and permitting delays were cited by 53% of those surveyed. Many of Xendee’s clients, according to Utility Dive, have resorted to installing gas- or diesel- powered generators to run their charging stations. |

| The Nationwide 500,000 EV Charger
Charade Geoffrey Pohanka The charade I refers to is President Biden’s $7.5 billion dollar investment to install 500,000 electric charging stations along America’s highways by 2030. To identify the charade, one must first, look at the math: 500,000 charging stations, each with a minimum of four chargers, accomplished with an investment of $7.5 billion dollars. But that is only $15,000 per charging station, installed. A single high capacity charger can cost $100,000 or more, and most stations have multiple chargers. We are now in the second year of the program and only seven stations have been opened so far. [This doesn't include the required upgrade to the grid!] |

| Israel Turbocharges West Bank
Settlement Expansion with Largest Land Grab in Decades Israel has approved the largest seizure of land in the occupied West Bank in over three decades, a settlement tracking group said Wednesday, a move that is likely to worsen already soaring tensions linked to the war in Gaza. Israel’s aggressive expansion in the West Bank reflects the settler community’s strong influence in the government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the most religious and nationalist in the country’s history. Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, a settler himself, has turbocharged the policy of expansion, seizing new authorities over settlement development and saying he aims to solidify Israel’s hold on the territory and prevent the creation of a Palestinian state. Explainer (BBC): Israel, Annexation and the West Bank What is the West Bank? It is a chunk of land located – as the name suggests – on the west bank of the River Jordan and bounded by Israel to the north, west and south. To its east lies Jordan. The West Bank has been occupied by Israel since the 1967 Middle East war, but decades of difficult on-off talks between Israel and the Palestinians – both of whom assert rights there – have left its final status unresolved. |

Johnson, upholding an Oregon town’s right to outlaw homeless encampments. For years, municipal officials in nine states have been unable to clean up the encampments. Their hands were tied after lawyers for the ACLU, Coalition for the Homeless and other organizations in the advocacy industrial complex went to court and won rulings that protected sleeping outside as a right. |

He's Been 'in and out of battles': 'Don't make it about you' President Biden claimed Thursday he's been "in and out of battles" while addressing an audience of military service members and their families at Thursday's White House Fourth of July Barbecue. "And by the way, I've been all over the world with you. I've been in and out of battles," the president, who never served in the military, though as Commander-in-Chief, met with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy of Ukraine in February 2023 and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel in October 2023. It's not the first time Biden has come under fire for remarks to military service members. |

Supporters in San Diego Sentenced to Jail Eight members of an Antifa group were sentenced to jail last Friday. The underlying incident happened in San Diego back in January 2021 when a pro-Trump rally was met by an equal number of counter-protesters. Many of the counter-protesters were anti-fascists dressed in black clothes and prepared to attack people that day. The case dragged on because of the pandemic but in June 2022 11 members of the group were indicted by a grand jury. Nine of the 11 pleaded guilty and the final two, Brian Cortez Lightfoot and Jeremy Jonathan White, were convicted in a trial that concluded in May. |

The debate was not just a catastrophe for President Biden. And boy – oy – was it ever. But it was more than that. It was a catastrophe for an entire class of experts, journalists, and pundits, who have, since 2020, insisted that Biden was sharp as a tack, on top of his game, basically doing handstands while peppering his staff with tough questions about care for migrant children and aid to Ukraine. |

Claims, Equipment Spending Data Point to Slowing Economy First-time applications for U.S. unemployment benefits drifted lower last week, but the number of people on jobless rolls jumped to a 2-1/2 year high in mid-June, suggesting that labor market conditions were easing amid slowing economic growth. Ebbing economic momentum was underscored by other data on Thursday showing business spending on equipment declined in May, while a slump in exports pushed up the goods trade deficit. The stream of softer data on the heels of a sharp slowdown in economic growth in the first quarter increases the probability of the Federal Reserve cutting interest rates in September. |

| 17 Injured in Another Boeing 737
MAX 8 Midair Mishap Stephen Green Passengers on board a Korea Air flight last weekend were treated to an unplanned 26,900-foot descent, resulting in several injuries. Seventeen passengers on the flight from Incheon to Taichung required medical attention for everything from hyperventilation to eardrum pain, according to reports. None of the injuries were serious, thank goodness. The controlled descent was due to a pressurization fault in the Boeing 737 MAX 8 airliner. The pilot had to take the plane below 10,000 feet, where there would be enough air for passengers to breathe since the famous in-case-of-emergency masks provide only enough oxygen for 10-15 minutes. |

to Keep EVs from Overwhelming Power Grids I & I Editorial Board The Washington Post ran a lengthy article last week bemoaning the fact that AI (artificial intelligence) is sucking up so much power that it’s already straining the nation’s electric grid and is bad for the environment. Seriously? So, how will the grid be able to handle the millions of electric cars environmentalists want to force on the road? The answer might shock you. The Post reports that: “As the tech giants compete in a global AI arms race, a frenzy of data center construction is sweeping the country. Some computing campuses require as much energy as a modest-sized city, turning tech firms that promised to lead the way into a clean energy future into some of the world’s most insatiable guzzlers of power. Their projected energy needs are so huge, some worry whether there will be enough electricity to meet them from any source.” |

Nancy Mace, R-S.C., called out the head of a leftist civil rights group for how she defined what a woman is, arguing her ideology puts women in danger. At a House hearing, "Standing up for the Rule of Law: Ending Illegal Racial Discrimination and Protecting Men and Women in U.S. Employment Practices," Mace challenged Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights CEO Maya Wiley, "Can you define what a woman is?" |

Policies After Backlash: ‘We Have Taken This Feedback to Heart’ – Kills DEI Rather than go broke, a merchant isn’t going woke. One of America’s leading rural-supply merchants announced Thursday that it is ending all “Diversity, Equity, Inclusion” programs and will no longer support LGBTQ and global warming causes. Tractor Supply Co. posted a statement on social media detailing its new direction after three weeks of social media and other backlash over the previous attachments to left-wing causes that are not popular with its customer base… Global warming efforts are also gone, as Tractor Supply promised to “withdraw our carbon emission goals, and focus on our land and water conservation efforts.” |

| Tyrant Newsom Admits ‘No Basis’ for COVID Shutdowns in Humiliating Interview California Gov. Gavin Newsom faced sharp criticism for his pandemic-era mandates, including the shutdowns of beaches and outdoor dining despite limited evidence of their effectiveness. During an interview on NewsNation with Chris Cuomo, Adam Carolla, briefly co-hosting, pressed Newsom on his decision to close beaches. “Governor, why did you shut the beaches in California during COVID?” Carolla queried, catching Newsom off guard from his expected topic of the CNN debate. |

| Can Half of Americans
Really Hold Their Noses and Vote for Biden? David Krayden It didn’t take long for the polls to start confirming what the Democratic strategists had hoped for. The phony conviction of former President Donald Trump for God knows what in the “hush money” trial dominated by a has-been porn performer had taken its toll! President Joe Biden was viable again! In fact, he had caught up to Trump and was poised to overtake his lead in those polls. The question is this: can half of American voters really hold their nose long enough to cast a ballot for Biden? Can they really dismiss the overwhelming evidence that Biden is not just a poor president but a poor excuse for a human being who has barely governed at all for the last four years but merely presided as a demented figurehead over the collapse of the United States into chaos? |

| The Ten Commandments
Should Be Taught In Classrooms, Not Just Hung On The Wall John Daniel Davidson Louisiana made news this week for passing a law that mandates the Ten Commandments be displayed on the walls of every public school classroom, including elementary schools, middle and high schools, and all public college classrooms. The law defies a 1980 Supreme Court ruling that struck down a similar law in Kentucky, so this is certain to be challenged in court – a prospect supporters of the legislation are counting on. |

They note that it is “a myth that Israel is responsible for famine in Gaza.” They argue that the International Criminal Court and UN have joined Hamas in blaming Israel for a “famine that never was, hoping to stop the war [in Gaza].” The two professors spoke to the Post in early June and they provided an abstract and details about their findings regarding the issue of famine in Gaza. |

Supporters, Military and Religious People Are Likely Violent Terror Threats A Department of Homeland Security (DHS) advisory board suggested that supporters of former President Donald Trump – as well as those who served in the military or are religious – have a greater possibility of posing domestic terrorism risks, according to internal files obtained by America First Legal (AFL). Named the "Homeland Intelligence Experts Group," the now-disbanded board was created in September 2023 to provide DHS with "expert" analysis on subjects like terrorism and the trafficking of certain controlled substances like fentanyl. ... the documents "reveal a shocking Biden plan to mobilize government power against Trump supporters ahead of the election." |

Shut Down the Lyin’ Biden Ads? I & I Editorial Board President Joe Biden’s reelection ad campaign contains a boatload of misinformation and disinformation. Will the censors shut it down? Will the media alert their readers and viewers to the falsehoods? We all know the answers to those questions. The political left is obsessed with shutting down any speech that doesn’t agree with its narrative. And it has successes to show for it. The Twitter files are the preeminent example. There exists a censorship-industrial complex, “a state-sponsored system targeting ‘disinformation,’” says journalist Matt Taibbi, who had access to the Twitter files, that strike “at the essence of the right to free speech.” |

| New EPA Rule Is a Death Sentence
for American Energy Andre Beliveau & Amy Cooke The Environmental Protection Agency plays judge, jury, and executioner – and its newest-issued rule is a death sentence to American energy and energy-producing states.

It requires 90% carbon capture for power-generating facilities by 2032. Aside from its questionable legality, the new rule is unfeasible. |

Judge Aileen Cannon scheduled a hearing on the matter as she addresses one by one the various legal motions Trump has filed to challenge the case, a methodical approach by the judge that has drawn criticism from some and praise from others. Friday’s hearing will entertain a request Trump filed in February that his case be dismissed on the grounds that Attorney General Merrick Garland defied an appointments clause when he chose Smith to lead two prosecutions against Trump. |

GOP-appointed Federal Communications Commission Commissioner Brendan Carr put Biden on blast for the wasteful folly. “In 2021, the Biden Administration got $42.45 billion from Congress to deploy high-speed Internet to millions of Americans,” Carr wrote on X last week. “Years later, it has not connected even 1 person with those funds. In fact, it now says that no construction projects will even start until 2025 at earliest.” |

| New Louisiana Law Requiring
Classrooms to Display Ten Commandments Churns Old Political Conflicts Kevin McGill and Sara Cline | Associated Press A bill signed into law this week makes Louisiana the only state to require that the Ten Commandments be displayed in every classroom in public schools and colleges – and stirs the long-running debate over the role of religion in government institutions. Under the new law, all public K-12 classrooms and state-funded universities will be required to display a poster-sized display of the Ten Commandments in “large, easily readable font” next year. Civil liberties groups planned lawsuits to block the law signed by Republican Gov. Jeff Landry, saying it would unconstitutionally breach protections against government-imposed religion.  When a Nation Abandons the Ten Commandments Louisiana’s new law reignites a critical debate about the foundation of Western Civilization. Nate Jackson The Ten Commandments are the foundation of Judeo-Christian ethics, which, in turn, are the foundation upon which our nation was built. “Our Constitution,” wrote John Adams, “was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.” The Rule of Law depends on moral people abiding by it and enforcing it. Today, we’re short on both. Part of that is because people don’t even know what the Ten Commandments say, much less abide by them. Jews have never made up more than a tiny minority of Americans, and Christians have become a minority in recent years. |

| Why Americans Don’t Want Electric
Vehicles Jason Isaac Not long ago, pundits were telling us that gasoline-powered cars would soon vanish from the streets, replaced by sleek, space-age vessels powered by electricity. But consumer demand for electric cars never matched the hype. Fewer drivers are interested in electric vehicles today than ever before, according to a new survey. This is further confirmed by Hertz’s recent announcement that it is selling 20,000 electric cars in its fleet. The most obvious reason for consumer disenchantment is the hassle of charging EVs. Few drivers are willing to plan their lives around finding a charging station and waiting around for their battery to top up. |

| Biden's $42.5B Rural High-Speed
Internet Plan Gets Stuck in DEI, Climate Crusade, and Union Requirement
Red Tape Residents in rural America are eager to access high-speed internet under a $42.5 billion federal modernization program, but not a single home or business has been connected to new broadband networks nearly three years after President Biden signed the funding into law, and no project will break ground until sometime next year. Lawmakers and internet companies blame the slow rollout on burdensome requirements for obtaining the funds, including climate change mandates, preferences for hiring union workers and the requirement that eligible companies prioritize the employment of “justice-impacted” people with criminal records to install broadband equipment. |

| The Murky Business of Transgender
Medicine Christopher F. Rufo The “gender-affirming care” business has always had an aura of madness around it. Wielding the authority of white coats and prestigious degrees, doctors have convinced large swaths of the public that some children are “born in the wrong body.” The solution? Stop puberty, prescribe cross-sex hormones, and then, with the stroke of a knife, remove body parts – most commonly breasts, less frequently genitalia. These medical practices use scientific rhetoric to affirm what is, at bottom, an ideological program. And gender activists have been successful enough at capturing the legitimizing institutions – medical societies, regulatory bodies, and teaching hospitals – to repel most challenges to the burgeoning child sex-change industry. |

He brought information on transgender patients at Texas Children’s Hospital in Houston to City Journal's Christopher Rufo, who broke the case wide open to the public. After Rufo's investigation was published and publicized, Texas Children's Hospital pledged to shut down its program for transgender patients, some as young as 11. However, it continued to administer hormone drugs to children. After Rufo's story was published, Texas State Attorney General Ken Paxton launched an investigation. State legislators passed SB 14, which prohibits all transgender medical interventions on minors. |

to Migrants As It Quietly Terminates 350,000 Asylum Cases While the Biden administration is attempting to look like it’s getting tough on the border, behind the scenes it’s operating a program of “mass amnesty” for migrants, The Post can reveal. Data shows that since 2022, more than 350,000 asylum cases filed by migrants have been closed by the U.S. government if the applicants don’t have a criminal record or are otherwise not deemed a threat to the country. This means that while the migrants are not granted or denied asylum – their cases are “terminated without a decision on the merits of their asylum claim” – they are removed from the legal system and no longer required to check in with authorities. |

Scary for Jews Athena Thorne On Monday, anti-Israel activists held what they called a “Citywide Day of Rage for Gaza.” The rally began in Union Square, where participants did vile things like unfurling a banner reading "Long Live October 7," evoking Adolf Hitler, and harassing and assaulting a female reporter. From there, the enlightened marchers made their way to The Nova Music Festival Exhibition, a massive memorial installation down on Wall Street that is visiting the city from Israel. The exhibition is "an in-depth remembrance of the brutal October 7th attack," according to its website. "The installation sets out to recreate an event dedicated to peace and love that was brutally cut short by Hamas’s attack on Israel from Gaza on that fateful day." Scrubbed by the Times: NY Times Routinely Erases Extremism from “Pro-PalestinianProtests” Gilead Ini The extremism is a pattern. So is the New York Times’ commitment to concealing it. This week in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Los Angeles, and Washington, D.C., anti-Israel activists wished for Hitler’s return; chanted for the murder of “Zionists”; assaulted, threatened to kill, and slurred a rabbi; threatened a Jewish family by painting a symbol of Hamas violence on their home; held banners supporting the terror group behind the Oct. 7 massacre; donned the headbands of the terrorists; waved their flags; glorified their “resistance” broadly; justified the murders at the music festival specifically; smashed and bloodied the face of a security guard; and downplayed the Holocaust.

| After Being 'Misled' by Appearance
of Wind Turbines, Seaside Residents Awake to Nightmare as Houses Begin to Shake A wind turbine project off the coast of Virginia Beach, Virginia, is whipping up some trouble for local homeowners. Dominion Energy is in the process of developing a 176-turbine project off the coast of the vacation community. But residents say the project is not making life any better. “It’s interfering with our lives every day – 2 a.m. the other morning, I was awoken by the room shaking,” Julie Brown of Virginia Beach said, according to WTKR-TV. Windless Nights Make Net Zero Impossible David Wojick It is very simple. The cost of storing electricity is so huge it makes getting through a single windless night under a net zero wind, solar, and storage plan economically impossible. This is especially true of cold nights where blackouts can be deadly. I recently made a legislative proposal to Pennsylvania along these lines so let’s use them as our example, keeping in mind that this is true everywhere. Pennsylvania peaks at around 30,000 MW so let’s consider a windless night with a constant need of just 20,000 MW. There should be lots of these, especially in winter. Cold snaps are typically due to windless high pressure systems of arctic air with lots of overnight radiative cooling. “This is not over”: Idaho Legislators Rebuke Government’s Revised Lava Ridge Wind Project Paul Gerke Numerous Idaho legislators are vowing to continue to fight against what would be the largest wind generation project in the state, calling the latest plans for the site “a slap in the face of Idahoans” that will ultimately benefit California rather than the Gem State. Late last week, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) issued a final environmental impact statement (EIS) on the proposed Lava Ridge Wind in Lincoln County, an up to 1000-MW project located in south-central Idaho, northeast of Twin Falls. |

| Challenging Modern Climate
Narratives: Forgotten 1937 Aerial Photos Expose Antarctic Anomaly A study using a whaler’s forgotten aerial photos from 1937 shows East Antarctica’s ice has been stable and even grown, despite some early signs of weakening. Extreme weather, melting glaciers, and rising sea levels are all indicators that the climate and the world’s ice masses are in a critical state. However, a new study from the Department of Geosciences and Natural Resource Management at the University of Copenhagen reveals a positive anomaly. Using hundreds of old aerial photographs dating back to 1937, combined with modern computer technology, researchers have tracked the evolution of glaciers in East Antarctica. This area, which spans approximately 2,000 kilometers of coastline, contains as much ice as the entire Greenland Ice Sheet. |

So-Called ‘Green Energy’ is Not Actually Even Possible Warner Todd Huston Everyone on the far left keeps braying about electric vehicles, battery power, and so-called “green energy,” but the truth it isn’t just difficult, it is impossible with the lack of current technological capabilities. Especially where it comes to the amount of copper is needed to realize the foolish green dream. A new study finds a huge problem with the need to scale up green energy and that its simply “not possible” to mine enough copper to satisfy the needs of green energy. |

| Coal Meets India’s Record Power
Demand As Net Zero Gets Sidelined Vijay Jayaraj Dirty coal is dead, and the future is renewable energy. Or so the heavily bankrolled green industrial complex would have us believe. Reality is starkly different, however, as the Global South’s embrace of fossil fuels demonstrates. India is a prime example. Having the planet’s largest population, the country will register the world’s highest rise in power demand for this decade and is expected to do the same over the next three decades. Meeting this need for electricity is good old coal, the energy workhorse of the West’s Industrial Revolution in the 19th and 20th centuries. |

| VW Is Shifting Billions from EV
Plans to Gas Car Development Joining Growing List Major Makers Doing Likewise Beverly Braga Another week has passed, and another legacy automaker says, "Hold up, wait a minute," on its plans to go fully electric by 2030 or 2040 or…at this point, perhaps, it's when pigs fly. Suits from Volkswagen Group are the latest to reconsider putting all or nothing at all into the EV coffers. According to Automotive News, CFO and COO Arno Antlitz said VW Group's investment dollars would still go toward internal combustion engines. But how many dollars are we actually talking about? A couple of bucks? Nope. One-third of €180 billion, or about $64 billion in today's currency exchange rates. |

| Ford Ends Costly Dealer EV
Certification Program Ford announced June 13 it is ending its "EV-certified" dealership program, which required significant financial investments from dealers, in response to slower-than-anticipated growth in the electric vehicle market. The Model E Dealership Program, launched in September 2022, required dealers to invest between $500,000 and $1.2 million to sell and service EVs. Initially, Ford had set a June 30 deadline for dealers to install Level 2 EV charging stations. However, despite initial optimism and high demand for all-electric vehicles, sales have not met expectations. Ford's dealership investment requirements were relaxed last November, reducing the number of mandatory Level 2 chargers and removing a future obligation for Level 3 fast chargers by 2026. Then, more recently, the automaker said it was temporarily suspending the requirements as it recalibrated its strategy. |

| Democrat Nightmare: Armed Black Hartford Citizen Patrols Take to the Streets Kevin Downey Jr. Archbishop Dexter Burke decided to help form a legally armed "self-defense brigade" to patrol the streets of Hartford's northern neighborhood. It consists of about 40 legally armed citizens who carry guns, wear body cameras, and have drone support in the air. The self-defense brigade is a liberal Marxist's nightmare. Ordinary Americans – in this case, black folks – have had enough crime and violence and have decided they need to protect themselves. It is their American right to do so, but Democrats hate people who stand up for themselves. |

| Didn’t Earn It – D.E.I. John Tierney George Orwell despaired at the linguistic atrocities of propagandists, but he did offer one bit of hope in his famous essay, “Politics and the English Language.” While lamenting that “political speech and writing are largely the defense of the indefensible,” he noted that some abuses of the language were vulnerable to “jeers” from a few critics. “Silly words and expressions have often disappeared,” he wrote, “not through any evolutionary process but owing to the conscious action of a minority.” So perhaps a jeering minority will rid us of today’s most egregiously indefensible phrase: “Diversity, Equity and Inclusion.” |

the Curtain on How Biden Is Really Handling Border Crisis An internal Border Patrol memo, obtained by Fox News, instructs agents in the San Diego sector to release single adults from all but six countries in the Eastern Hemisphere and classify them as "hard" or "very hard" to remove. The memo was sent out after President Biden's executive order banning asylum for most illegal immigrants took effect last week. Details in the memo, first reported by the Washington Examiner's Anna Giaritelli, instructs agents that all single adults from the Eastern Hemisphere are to be processed via "NTA/OR," which means Notice to Appear/released on Own Recognizance, except for migrants from "mandatory referral" countries. |

Yet in the summer of 2020, when a blandly named entity called the Impetus Fund received a $64 million donation from a single anonymous source, it touched off a guessing game with broad political implications. That single anonymous donation, routed through a series of accounts, eventually would be used to help Joe Biden defeat Donald Trump in the 2020 presidential election. Critics say it has come to illustrate an increasingly opaque system of funding elections that in 2024 could reach a scale that dwarfs all previous election cycles. |

The BLS revealed that around 133.3 million people in the United States had full-time jobs in May, which was 625,000 less than the month before. However, the number of people having part-time jobs surged by 286,000 to just over 28 million... It was also discovered that the number of foreign-born workers employed in the U.S. skyrocketed last month, rising by 637,000 for the year to nearly 32 million, while native-born workers declined by almost 300,000. |

Recently, the cretins running Biden’s campaign said it was a “blatant lie” when Roberts asserted that Trump is the one who lowered the drug’s price. But in fact, it is Biden who is lying. And the record shows it. Roberts was not prepared to sit quietly by and be called a liar. So, he brought out the facts. |

During a town hall event in Phoenix, Arizona, on Thursday, Trump said he would use tariffs against foreign countries that fail to help the U.S. stem the flow of illegal immigration at the southern border -- including those such as China that have often refused to take back their nationals. “We have tremendous economic power,” Trump said. “… we have these things called tariffs.” |

Terrorism: He Is a Terrorist CBD The concept of the “civilian” in the context of Muslim expansionism and terrorism is a cruel joke perpetrated on a gullible and unsuspecting Western public. When 75% of Gazans support Hamas and their tactics AFTER 10/7, it is obvious that there is no substantive difference between a terrorist carrying a rifle and an RPG, and a family in an apartment building giving aid and comfort to that terrorist. In fact, it isn’t just aid and comfort, it is active participation in the terror campaign against Israel. How else does one describe “civilians” holding Israeli hostages? |

Virginians deserve the freedom to choose which vehicles best fit the needs of their families and businesses. The law is clear, and I am proud to announce Virginians will no longer be forced to live under this out-of-touch policy.” |

Wastewater Leaves the Left Facing EV 'irony' The discovery of the potential for thousands of tons of lithium to be extracted annually from wastewater generated by fracking in the Marcellus Shale leaves proponents of a green energy future at a crossroads, Republicans said Thursday. A University of Pittsburgh study suggested processing byproducts from natural gas production in Pennsylvania's Marcellus Shale basin could potentially meet nearly half of U.S. lithium needs. The typical electric vehicle (EV) requires nearly 18 pounds of lithium to power its battery. That figure grows exponentially for Teslas, according to reports. |

The punishment would be optional for judges to apply to either men or women if they have been convicted of an aggravated sex crime against a child under 13. While chemical castration has been on the table before, it has rarely ever been used as part of sentencing. Surgical castration is much more invasive, and of course permanent. |
