American Thinker: Madame VP finally mentions the border
VP Kamala Harris claims the end of Title 42 is going smoothly despite thousands of migrants stuck in processing and border governors dropping off migrants at her home. Harris spent her weekend in Atlanta for a fundraiser, attracting criticism from Georgia's Republican Party. She blames Congress for the issue of immigration and says smugglers may be controlling the flow to avoid a surge.
Washington Free Beacon: The Media's Misleading Math on Biden's Border Crisis
The southern US border crisis continues as Trump-era immigration policy, Title 42, expires. Border encounters have declined since but have shattered previous records. Despite warnings about a potential surge in migrants, fewer migrants arrived than expected. However, illegal immigration has repeatedly broken annual records under the Biden administration. Some news outlets note that the temporary ease of the crisis could prove short-lived, with up to 14,000 apprehensions expected per day.

The Federalist: Durham Report Shows ‘Disinfo’-Crazed Feds Are First To Believe It
Special Counsel John Durham's report on the 2016 election has concluded that intelligence agencies had no evidence of collusion during the Crossfire Hurricane investigation, which "had the potential of affecting the 2016 election." Despite this, the FBI continued to pursue allegations against Trump associates, many of which were fed to them by biased information sources like the Steele dossier. Far from being impartial, the report concludes that it was the US federal intelligence and investigation agencies themselves that were spreading misinformation. This has significant implications for the credibility of such institutions, and their ability to combat the spread of misinformation in society.
Newsbusters: NPR, Beyond Parody on DeSantistan: Trans ‘Florida Teen Flees for a Better Life’
Josie, a transgender teenager, "flees" Florida due to anti-trans policies passed in healthcare and education. Conservative states across the US are pushing bills that curtail LGBTQ+ rights. Josie and her family fear retaliation in Florida, where they have faced hostility due to their transgender identity. Josie's parents remain advocates for equality and will keep their pride flag up while their daughter is away. While NPR's report sympathizes with Josie's position, it fails to acknowledge the many teenage girls who may feel threatened by having boys in their bathrooms and sports teams.
American Thinker: John Kerry would love for farmers to stop farming
John Kerry warns that agricultural production, responsible for one-third of global greenhouse gas emissions, must be reduced to tackle climate change.
The attack on farming by Western leaders is "treasonous," with the Democratic Party job-killing and entitled, attempting to ban the production of animal-based foodstuffs and replace them with insects.
Fox News: MSNBC's Nicolle Wallace dismisses Durham report: 'Whole thing' is a 'rabbit hole conspiracy' theory
MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace dismisses Special Counsel John Durham’s report investigating the FBI’s original investigation into collusion between Russia and the Trump campaign as a "rabbit hole conspiracy," while a panel including former FBI agent Frank Figliuzzi and former attorney for the Mueller investigation Andrew Weissman attacked Durham and the report, insisting that it was based on "conspiracy." The report found that the investigation was marred by a "lack of analytical rigor, apparent confirmation bias, and an over-willingness to rely on information from individuals connected to political opponents."
Figliuzzi argued further that Durham "failed miserably" in his report and was likely influenced by an "agenda", while Weissman agreed, insisting that Durham’s report did not disprove that Russia influenced the 2016 election and any comparison between Republicans and Democrats is a "false equivalency." Durham’s report called out the FBI and Department of Justice’s failure to properly investigate the matter and said, "We therefore believe it is important to examine past conduct to identify shortcomings and improve how the government carries out its most sensitive functions."
Fox News: White House's Karine Jean-Pierre's 5 most-embarrassing strikeouts
Karine Jean-Pierre, White House press secretary, has had a memorable rookie season, with five embarrassing moments including lying about the border, renaming Canada, getting into an intercontinental battle over press freedom, saying House Republicans want to "give asthma to our children," and calling her boss "President Obama." Jean-Pierre's mistakes have led to her being compared to former Trump communications director Anthony Scaramucci and Saddam Hussein's spokesperson Baghdad Bob. Despite her mishaps, Jean-Pierre remains in her position, leaving some to wonder if President Joe Biden values competency or loyalty more.

Euromaidan Press: Macron hints at delivering long-range missiles to Ukraine
French President Macron confirms that France has delivered long-range missiles to Ukraine to assist in their resistance against Russian aggression. He clarified that the missiles cannot be used to attack Russia proper and that they are assisting Ukraine in resisting Russian aggression. Macron also mentioned that Ukrainian pilots are being trained in France and discussions are underway with the Americans as well. The type of missiles that Ukraine might get is unclear. Paris intends to equip several Ukrainian battalions with dozens of armored vehicles and light tanks, including the AMX-10RC. This follows the UK's delivery of Storm Shadow long-range missiles to Ukraine, which led to Ukraine striking Russian objects far beyond the front line.

The Epoch Times: Twitter Further Explains Why It Restricted Content Leading up to Turkey's Election
Twitter restricted access to certain content in Turkey ahead of the country's election due to legal processes, but faced criticism from some Twitter users for censorship actions. Twitter responded by saying that it restricted access to content in order to keep twitter available to the people of Turkey and that it will continue to object in court. Turkey's government has a lot of power to control the internet and impose restrictions, however, Twitter is filing its objections to the fifth order tomorrow. The Turkish-born NBA player Enes Kanter and Robby Starbuck chose to criticize current Twitter CEO Elon Musk over the platform’s action, while Musk argued that the choice was to either limit access to some tweets or have Twitter throttled in its entirety.

Forbes: McKernan Underscores Problems With FDIC’s Systemic Risk Exception
Federal officials have released reports related to the Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank failures, including a statement released by Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation board member Jonathan McKernan, which has risen to a must-read level. The statement provides background information on the systemic risk exception and clarifies exactly what it authorizes the FDIC to do. The systemic risk exception allows the FDIC to ignore the general requirement to close failed banks in a manner that exposes the Deposit Insurance Fund to the lowest possible cost, but only for the bank it is closing. In the case of SVB and Signature, the systemic risk exception allowed the FDIC to cover uninsured depositors at those two banks. However, it did not allow the FDIC to cover uninsured deposits – or anything else – at other banks.
Maintaining financial stability conflicts with shutting down banks, even when they’re insolvent, which has created a serious contradiction in U.S. banking law. The systemic risk exception gives federal regulators – and Congress – a pass on the least cost resolution requirement, which ironically makes it more likely that the bank will be kept open in the name of keeping “the system” running. The fear that freezing any deposits would disrupt the economy has morphed into the fear that a bank failure could freeze a large number of customer deposits, thus disrupting the economy. Without a clear definition of financial stability, the systemic risk exception is easy to invoke. Congress should get rid of the systemic risk exception as resolving a failed bank does not always mean all the money in the bank gets frozen and then disappears. It does not have to result in a major economic disruption.

American Thinker: COVID's collateral damage
After refusing vaccination, a doctor had weekly COVID tests until the testing facility closed down. Reflecting on the pandemic, he saw fear and anxiety lead to social change, factionalism, and lost friendships. He also realized the corrupt behavior of the CDC, NIH, and Big Pharma who manipulated academic institutions and the media for their gain. This made him question the validity of his entire career as a physician. Despite being asymptomatic, his last COVID test was positive.

During the Toronto Blue Jays’ game against the New York Yankees, play-by-play announcer Dan Shulman and color commentator Buck Martinez recognized something unusual when Aaron Judge was at the plate.
