Fox News: Biden admin ‘encouraged’ by lower post-Title 42 migrant numbers, but urges caution for weeks ahead
The Biden administration is encouraged by the lower migrant numbers since the end of the Title 42 public health order, which expelled migrants at the southern border due to the COVID-19 pandemic. DHS officials reported a decrease of 56% in the number of apprehensions in the four days preceding the order's termination. The drop in apprehensions was linked to the multi-part plan, which includes a new asylum rule, an increase in Title 8 penalties, greater cooperation with Mexico, and an expansion of legal pathways.
Officials have expressed concerns about a fresh increase in the weeks ahead and caution that it is still too early to draw any firm conclusions about where the trends will go in the coming days and weeks. A federal judge has blocked the Biden administration's efforts to release migrants into the U.S. on "parole with conditions," which could exacerbate overcrowding. Texas and Florida have taken a series of enforcement steps to stop illegal entry into the U.S., and DHS has stressed the need for cooperation with state and local governments while suggesting that the moves by Texas and Florida were politically motivated.
Human Events: POSOBIEC: The border crisis is a bigger problem than woke
ideology
Human Events Daily host Jack Posobiec warns that the influx of illegal immigrants into the US could result in the elimination of the conservative movement in America. Posobiec asserts that illegal immigration should be given more attention and that wokeness is not the most serious issue facing the country. He suggests that allowing millions of people into the country who vote for the liberal coalition could lead to a future without the First Amendment and the loss of conservative values.

Breitbart: Biden Angers Key Anti-China Ally Australia with Abrupt Cancelation of Visit
President Joe Biden cancelled his planned trips to Papua New Guinea and Australia next week on his way home from the G7 summit in Japan. The cancellation was due to negotiations on the US debt ceiling, leaving observers worried that Biden is squandering valuable credibility in the Indo-Pacific region. The Pacific Islands Forum had declared a public holiday to honour Biden’s visit, which was expected to aid countering China’s growing influence in the region.
Fox News: House Democrats begin 'Hail Mary' attempt to go around Speaker McCarthy and raise the debt limit
House Democrats filed a discharge petition to force a vote on raising the debt limit, a long-shot gambit requiring 218 House members to sign the petition, meaning all 213 Democrats and five Republicans. The tactic would allow Democrats to vote on a clean debt-limit increase, and House Speaker Kevin McCarthy would have no way to block the vote. This move comes as Congress' fiscal deadline fast approaches, and Republicans and Democrats continue to negotiate a bipartisan bill to raise the debt limit.
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries is urging Democrats to sign the discharge petition, calling it "imperative" and stating that all legislative options must be pursued in the event that no agreement is reached. Even with every Democrat on board, a discharge petition would need bipartisan support that is unlikely to come unless negotiations between President Biden and McCarthy completely break down. McCarthy said Republicans and the president remain "far apart" but added that it is possible to get a deal by the end of the week.
Fox News: Alabama man who entered the Senate floor with a concealed knife during the Capitol protest gets 22 months
An Alabama man, Joshua Matthew Black, has been sentenced to 22 months in prison for storming the U.S. Capitol with a knife and occupying the Senate. Black, who is an evangelical Christian, claimed he went to Washington to "plead the blood of Jesus" on the Senate floor to foster congressional atonement. He was the first rioter to breach the Capitol's barricade, but the judge ruled that prosecutors couldn't prove Black intended to obstruct or impede proceedings.
Black was shot by a police officer in his left cheek with a crowd-control munition outside the Capitol and sustained a bloody hole in his face, but still occupied the Senate with other rioters after lawmakers evacuated the chamber. Prosecutors had recommended a five-year prison sentence for Black, who was convicted in January of five charges, including three felonies, after hearing trial testimony without a jury. Over 1,000 people have been charged with Capitol riot-related crimes, with roughly 500 sentences ranging from seven days to over 14 years, and nineteen receiving sentences of five years or longer.
Fox News: WSJ editorial board slams FBI, 'dupes' in press over Durham report: 'Travesty that shouldn't be forgotten'
The Wall Street Journal Editorial Board condemned the FBI and media allies for the Trump-Russia collusion narrative following an investigation by Special Counsel John Durham's report. Durham's 306-page report showed that the FBI became a "funnel for disinformation" from Hillary Clinton's campaign, lacking actual evidence of collusion. Partisan hostility was a factor in the probe with Clinton receiving tippy-toeing by the FBI, while Trump received none - highlighting the double standards of the FBI. The media was also deemed an accomplice to the collusion con, with press performance doing damage to its credibility.
The Federalist: All Biden Has To Do Is Explain How His Family Got Foreign Cash
House Oversight Committee confirms Joe Biden and his family received a minimum of $10 million from foreign entities since at least 2009 through an alleged cash-for-influence scheme. The Bidens used their family’s political and corporate connections to engage in an elaborate foreign influence peddling scheme, and the GOP should make the Bidens’ foreign benefactors central to their 2024 campaign messaging.
The Federalist: Durham: UK Intel Rejected Trump-Russia Investigation ‘Evidence’
The Durham report reveals shocking details of the FBI's willingness to pursue the Trump-Russia investigation with fabricated evidence and unreliable sources, despite dead ends. British intelligence was blunt in their assessment of the supposed evidence and incredulous that George Papadopoulos' remarks were enough to launch the investigation. The British also believed the FBI's key informant's supposed evidence had no value. The report shows just how unreliable the Steele dossier was, which the FBI presented as credible to spy on an incoming president, and how some of Steele's former colleagues in British intel did not regard him as reliable.
Breitbart: Nolte: Tucker Carlson-less Fox News Primetime Loses to MSNBC Monday
MSNBC attracted more viewers than Fox News on Monday, even without Tucker Carlson, while CNN came last with just 485,000 total viewers. The low ratings of CNN are expected to be worse following their lies, conspiracy theories, and bigotry. Moreover, CNN angered the remaining members of their political base after Trump's town hall event, which led to them losing more viewers. Newsmax and One America News are expected to attract more viewers due to Fox News alienating their audience by firing Tucker Carlson.
Fox News: South Carolina Dems disrupts 'heartbeat' abortion law in marathon hearing, claim to 'celebrate life'
South Carolina Democrats blocked the passage of a pro-life amendment to limit abortion in the state. The amendment would limit abortions after the detection of fetal heartbeat, usually around six weeks into pregnancy, with an exception for rape, incest, and cases where the life of the mother is at risk. Democratic lawmakers spent more than 12 hours attempting to prolong Republican efforts to impose further limitations on the procedure. The law would have banned most abortions in the state, with felony charges, imprisonment, and a fine of $10,000 for violating its provisions.
In response to the Democratic lawmakers' attempts to block the pro-life amendment, abortion rights advocates have claimed the move violates personal liberties and freedom from government intervention. Supporters of the pro-life law claim it is a necessary step towards ensuring that the state does not become a destination for abortions. South Carolina is one of several states that have attempted to place restrictions on abortion following the overturning of Roe v. Wade earlier this year. Despite being a traditionally red state, South Carolina failed to pass three pro-life laws before the current debate on the bill.
Fox News: MSNBC's Nicolle Wallace rejects Durham Report since her career 'was built upon a fraud' in Russiagate: Critics
MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace, formerly a communications director for a Republican president, has been accused of dismissing the Durham Report's findings on the Trump-Russia investigation. Wallace was known for her support of Special Counsel Robert Mueller's Russia probe during the Trump presidency. Critics have claimed that media personalities on MSNBC owe their careers to stoking hatred of Donald Trump and are ignoring the Durham Report's evidence that Russian collusion was a hoax, suggesting that they are implicated in the scandal themselves.
PJ Media: There, but Not All There: After Three-Month Absence, Dianne Feinstein Insists She Has Been in the Senate All Along
Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Beijing) returned to the Senate after a three-month absence due to shingles, but her cognitive decline was evident when she forgot that she had been absent. This is not the first indication of her dementia, but Senate Democrats refuse to admit it and insist that she is doing well and able to vote. Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Absolut) even accused concerns over Feinstein's ability to do her job of being sexist. However, it is better for the deeply entrenched corruptocrats to be nonfunctional, even though others are telling Feinstein how to vote and making sure she shows up.

Breitbart: 60,000 Lbs. Explosive Ammonium Nitrate Missing from Train in California
A rail shipment of 60,000 pounds of ammonium nitrate, an explosive substance, has gone missing while en route from Wyoming to California. The company responsible for the shipment, Dyno Nobel, believes the material fell from the railcar in transit, rather than being stolen or subjected to foul play. However, concerns have been raised over safety standards, as this incident comes after a toxic railcar explosion in February in Ohio.

National Review: The Corner: Normalizing Polyamory
Laws recognizing polyamorous relationships are being recognized in more cities, including Somerville, Mass.

Daily Wire: ‘Too Many People Are Using It Against Us’: Celebs And Hollywood At Odds Over Use Of AI
Celebrities like Harrison Ford and Keanu Reeves are divided over the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in moviemaking. While some celebs have sold their rights to AI companies, others have taken steps to protect their image in contracts. The use of AI is already happening at every level of moviemaking, eliminating human accountability and judgment.
The Writer’s Guild of America(WGA) is currently striking over their concerns that chatbots may rewrite or write scripts, alongside an increase in pay and benefits. However, AI use in moviemaking is still concerning, with actors needing iron-clad protection against its use of their image, voice, and performance. Although some in the industry have developed proprietary algorithms for AI use, others believe that it will shape decisions on what stories will get told, potentially replacing human-made films altogether.

Newsbusters: CBS Elevates Shoplifter as Community Pillar ‘Helping Black Trans’ Kids
Transgender shoplifter Banko Brown was shot and killed by a security guard at a Walgreens in San Francisco. CBS Morning portrayed Brown as a pillar of the community, known for her work with black transgender youth, and implied that the security guard, Michael Earl Wayne Anthony, had acted unlawfully. Correspondent Nancy Chen showed video footage of the altercation but played it upside down and zoomed out, which made it difficult to see what had happened. She then suggested Anthony was the problem and failed to mention that Brown had threatened to stab him. CBS’s apparent attempt to gaslight viewers was possible due to lucrative sponsorships from Aleve and Google.
