National Review: The Corner: Further Thoughts on Wired‘s Pete Buttigieg Fantasia
Virginia Heffernan's Wired profile of Pete Buttigieg is receiving widespread criticism for its adulatory tone. The author previously wrote about being enraged over her driveway being plowed for free by her Trump-supporting neighbors. National Review staff questioned whether the Buttigieg piece was meant to be taken seriously, but concluded that it was sincere. The article reveals the essential hollowness of Buttigieg's character.
Washington Free Beacon: Liberal Celebrity Chef Exempt From Gas Stove Ban, California City Says
Renowned chef José Andrés's new restaurant in California, Zaytinya, will be allowed to use natural gas thanks to a "unique" exception made by the city of Palo Alto. The city introduced a law this year banning the use of natural gas in new construction, but administrators intervened after landlords for the Mediterranean restaurant threatened legal action if the regulation was not lifted. The landlords argued that the restaurant requires gas appliances to achieve its "signature, complex flavors," which cannot be replicated with electric appliances. Andrés is known for advocating for climate initiatives despite the restaurant requiring an exemption from the gas ban.

Fox News: Jordan takes on Dems in contentious exchange over whistleblower testimony
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan clashed with Democrats during a hearing on FBI whistleblowers on Thursday. Jordan denied Democrat requests for transcripts of previous testimony given to Republicans by one of the witnesses, leading to a lengthy argument.

Daily Wire: Most Severe Backlash Against Anheuser-Busch May Already Be Over, Some Brands Turning A Corner, Banker Says
The controversy surrounding Bud Light and other Anheuser-Busch brands after a nod towards a transgender influencer appears to have peaked. Market data shows significant declines in Bud Light, Budweiser, Michelob Ultra, and Natural Light sales. However, a second week of flattish trends suggests that sales may have stabilized at significantly lower levels. HSBC has downgraded Anheuser-Busch stock due to the controversy, and executives have downplayed the extent of the partnership and hired Republican lobbyists in efforts to win back alienated customers. Anheuser-Busch appears to have offended those on both ends of the political spectrum.
National Review: I Love Pete Buttigieg
Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg charms with his intelligence, wit, and personal anecdotes during a conversation with Virginia Heffernan. Buttigieg boasts a remarkable record of responses to transportation crises and declares that capitalism gives people the false impression that they must work all the time. Amid discussing the history of the Asian subcontinent and the racism of barges, Buttigieg receives a phone call alerting him of a shipping accident. He dismisses the aide multiple times to continue speaking with Heffernan and even shares an amusing Latin mistake with her before she must leave for the airport.
Newsbusters: Internet Ipecac: WIRED Writer Pours Sugar All Over the 'Voluminous Mind' of Pete Buttigieg
Wired magazine praises Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg with a "sticky valentine," reminiscent of 2007 Obama hagiography. The profile describes Buttigieg's intellect and love of God, portraying him as a Mensa black card holder with a vast reserve of mental faculties, including a deep understanding of scripture and its relation to transportation. Some conservatives are pointing out Wired's Democratic bias in publishing this "liberal mind" propaganda.
Fox News: Buttigieg brutally mocked over puff piece praising his ‘cathedral mind': 'Can't believe this is real'
Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg is the subject of a bizarrely effusive story in Wired, with many deriding parts of it as reminiscent of North Korean state TV. The article details Buttigieg's love for food, car models, and driving, all while praising his "voluminous mind" and his "cathedral mind." Critics argue that Wired fails to ask relevant road and transportation infrastructure questions of Buttigieg, instead focusing on his personality. Buttigieg's tenure as Transportation Secretary comes as Democrats try to pass an infrastructure plan and he has identified racial disparities in transportation infrastructure as a key issue that needs to be addressed.

Euromaidan Press: Pentagon accounting error overvalued Ukraine aid by USD 3 billion – Reuters sources
The Pentagon overestimated the value of US-supplied weapons to Ukraine by $3bn, according to senior defence officials. The mistake enhances the chances of further US arms being sent to the Eastern European state to help it defend against Russian-led separatists. Congress has been informed about the error and a full accounting of the situation is forthcoming. The Ukrainian government has received arms and ammunition from the US since the crisis in eastern Ukraine heightened, including anti-tank missiles, drones, armoured vehicles and Javelin missiles.

The Epoch Times: Biden Won’t Apologize for US Use of Atomic Bomb on Hiroshima
President Biden will not apologize on behalf of the United States for using the atomic bomb on Hiroshima during World War II. Biden arrived in Hiroshima for the G-7 summit and will participate in wreath-laying and other events with other G-7 leaders.

Human Events: POSOBIEC: Big tech companies are replacing American workers with
cheaper foreign labor
Top tech companies like Amazon, Google and Facebook have filed applications for foreign workers under the H-1B visas program, despite being accused of firing American workers to hire cheaper foreign ones. The immigration program was intended for companies which were unable to find skilled local workers to fill vacancies. However, it appears that the tech industry has exploited the system, using it to underpay and "squeeze" US-born workers. Data released by the Department of Labor suggests that Amazon, Microsoft, Salesforce and Zoom are among the companies laying off US workers but seeking cheaper foreign labour.

The Federalist: Depressed? Ditch Your Phone, Go Outside, Eat Right, And Be Kind
A new Gallup poll shows that rates of depression in the U.S. have reached record highs, with nearly 1 in 3 adults reporting a depression diagnosis at least once in their lifetimes. Women are more likely to report depression than men, with white women most likely to be on psychiatric drugs. However, antidepressants have scarcely more effect than placebos, suggesting that the problem may lie in our circumstances. Spend time outdoors, eat healthy and exercise, practise spirituality or engage in simple acts of kindness, rather than gamble on Big Pharma to fix depression.
Americans are spending an increasing amount of time online, with 1 in 3 reporting a "constant" presence online, raising concerns that this is contributing to the rise in depression. Just one hour of daily screen time is associated with lower psychological well-being, leading to calls for people to spend more time outdoors as study after study shows that this benefits both our spiritual and physical health. Diet also plays an important role, with people who eat ultra-processed foods or have an ultra-processed diet being more likely to report depressive symptoms. Kindness is also important with simple acts of kindness identified as one of the best ways to alleviate depressive symptoms. Finally, spirituality and religion can act as psychic armour to protect people from depression by thickening the brain cortex, offering another avenue to explore to tackle the growing issue of depression in the US.
The Epoch Times: Tories Introduce Motion Calling on Feds to Reverse Hard Drug Decriminalization Programs
The Conservative Party has introduced a motion in the Canadian House of Commons calling on the government to reverse hard-drug policies outlined in the Canadian Drugs and Substances Strategy (CDSS), arguing that they have contributed to Canada's opioid crisis. In particular, the motion criticizes the government's temporary decriminalization of small amounts of hard drugs in British Columbia. Mental Health and Addictions Minister Carolyn Bennett defended the CDSS policy, claiming that it keeps people "alive long enough to get treatment." however, Conservative Party Leader Pierre Poilievre argued that it is "deadly."

National Review: The Corner: Alvin Bragg’s Bill of No Particulars
Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg's indictment of Donald Trump is vague and full of legal problems. It's unclear who Trump allegedly intended to defraud and what other crime he allegedly intended to conceal. This vagueness suggests the weakness of the case, undermines public faith in the prosecution's judiciousness, and imposes burdens on the judge handling the case. Trump's lawyers will have to play guessing games, which will waste significant amounts of labor and paper. Bragg's game of prosecutorial three-card monte is complicated, and Trump's lawyers have filed to remove the prosecution to federal court. In his response to the Trump defense bill of particulars, Bragg largely rests on his legal powers to avoid committing himself, suggesting a lack of public spiritedness and fair play in his office. The bill is full of hand-waving, and he dumps millions of pages of discovery on the defense, placing the burden of his legal theory on the defense to find the needle in the haystack of evidence.
Bragg refuses to specify anything about his theory of whom Trump intended to defraud. He cites the entire federal campaign-finance code and a state election-law statute that prohibits conspiracy to pursue an election "by unlawful means" and the two false-records laws themselves, all of which are circular. To break these laws, a breach of some other law is necessary. New York Tax Law §§ 1801(a)(3) is the only specific mentioned, and it still does not reveal the specific crime. Bragg lists the flimsy theories already in his Statement of Facts and does not explain what crime he intends to prove at trial. Voluble defense lawyers are unimpressed and say:
"How do you put on a defense if you don't know the crime?" and "there is 'not a single reason' why such records have not already been forwarded on to Mr. Trump. Mr. Bragg's prosecution has featured 'one disaster after another.'"
