Human Events: AUSTIN PETERSEN: DNC gives a masterclass in losing as they elect new chair
The Democratic National Committee's recent meeting in Chicago devolved into chaos, with climate activists interrupting discussions and identity politics dominating the agenda. Instead of addressing their political losses, party leaders focused on enforcing gender quotas in leadership and elevating activists with limited experience.
The gathering highlighted a disconnect between the party's priorities and voter concerns, such as the economy and crime. The DNC appears more committed to progressive ideals than to winning elections, as evidenced by their focus on ideological purity over practical solutions.

Forbes: What Is Carried Interest? Trump Proposes Ending Wall Street’s Tax Break, Again.
President Donald Trump has renewed his call to eliminate the carried-interest tax break for private equity fund managers, a proposal previously supported by Presidents Obama and Biden. This tax break allows fund managers to pay lower capital gains taxes instead of higher federal income taxes.
Ending the carried-interest loophole could potentially reduce the federal deficit by $13 billion through 2034, according to the Congressional Budget Office. However, bipartisan support for its elimination has been inconsistent, with past efforts facing opposition from various lawmakers.

The Imaginative Conservative: Renewing America’s Soul: Faith and Civil Society
American culture is at a crossroads, with a call for renewal through faith and virtue. The shift of conservative discourse to a political focus has diminished the rich philosophical and moral foundations that once guided society. This change has led to a reliance on government solutions, undermining the essential role of faith-based organizations in fostering personal virtue and community support.
The relationship between faith and the public square has weakened, with modern interpretations of church-state separation limiting religious expression in public life. Yet, faith-based initiatives have shown tangible civic benefits, emphasizing the need for a revival of personal faith and community engagement. The survival of American civilization may hinge on rekindling these values.
The Imaginative Conservative: What Is Fame?
The pursuit of fame and fortune can lead to pride and disillusionment, as illustrated by the overshadowing of Cimabue by Giotto in art history. True legacy comes from respecting tradition and standing on the shoulders of giants, rather than chasing fleeting trends.
Fame and fortune are not inherently bad; they can be beneficial when used for good. The challenge lies in the prideful pursuit of them, which can obscure true virtue and sanctity. The lesson is to seek lasting value over ephemeral recognition.

He attributes their anxiety, depression, and other health problems to fears surrounding Trump's presidency and advises patients to disconnect from political news.
Burnett emphasizes the importance of focusing on personal relationships over political events to aid recovery. He expresses caution about prescribing medication, suggesting that the issues stem more from grief than clinical conditions.

The Western Journal: UK Considering Pointed Knife Ban in Desperate Attempt to Fight Terrorism
The UK government is considering a proposal to ban pointed kitchen knives in response to knife crime and terrorism, following a tragic incident where a teenager used a knife to murder three girls. Actor Idris Elba has advocated for blunted knives, suggesting it could reduce violence.
Critics question the effectiveness of such measures, arguing that banning pointed knives may not prevent determined criminals from using other means to commit acts of violence. The proposal may primarily impact chefs and home cooks rather than addressing the root causes of knife crime.
