He joins a growing number of Republicans seeking nomination, including former President Donald Trump. Scott is known for his fundraising abilities with nearly $22 million in cash on hand and two super PACs with about $16 million in contributions from Republican mega-donors.

Anheuser-Busch has been removed from a LGBTQ organization’s equity index after missing an opportunity to support transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney.

Fox News: Four reasons China hates the G7, or maybe China is just jealous
China is worried about the power of the G7 leaders, who outweigh China’s economy by more than 2-1 and have the tools to push back on China’s economic coercion. China’s tactics like boycotts and intimidation of U.S. businesses in China have raised real concerns. The G7 stands in the way of China’s takeover as world leader, and G7 finance ministers are talking about "de-risking" which means tighter boundaries for investment in China. If the world is dividing into two camps, the camp with the U.S. and the G7 is still the place to be.
American Thinker: So the Washington Post's Taylor Lorenz had her snoot in the Twitter trough, too?
Washington Post reporter Taylor Lorenz had a lot of power at Twitter, getting small accounts banned even when they didn't violate company rules, while also having the power to get a banned account of a friend restored. Executives at Twitter were wary of Lorenz, and her unusual connections may explain her outsize influence on the platform. Elon Musk's takeover of Twitter exposed the workings of the platform, revealing a murky ecosystem where leftist activists, NGOs, political groups, and Lorenz herself were all calling the shots.

Forbes: Texas’ Opportunity To Make A Dent In Rising Housing Costs
Texas and Florida, two states known for attracting immigrants from high-cost states, may see a slowdown as housing costs rise. A recent study shows that the rising cost of housing affects the departure of businesses in California, and these states could face similar problems. The solution could be to reform land-use laws to expand housing supply, but outdated regulations in Texas hinder growth. There are two land-use bills being considered by the Texas legislature, one of which would streamline the homebuilding process by allowing experts to sign off on site plan reviews. Another proposed bill would restore property rights for owners to a medium-sized lot of 1,400 square feet, which could reduce overall housing costs in the state.

Fox News: Dianne Feinstein was sicker than public knew due to shingles that caused brain inflammation
Senator Dianne Feinstein was hospitalized for severe neurological complications of shingles affecting her brain and face. Although the encephalitis resolved itself shortly after she was released, she continues to have complications from Ramsay Hunt syndrome.

Red State: Eric Adams Plan to Combat Rampant Shop-Lifting Must Be Seen to be Believed
Shoplifting is on the rise, with money not being spent on prosecuting crime in blue states. A $120,000 purse raid occurred in New Jersey, and New York City Mayor Eric Adams has proposed an intervention program, not prosecuting thieves, de-escalation training for employees, neighbourhood watch groups, and installing kiosks offering social services to thieves. The problem, however, is that these proposals make it easier for people stealing expensive things and harder for the law-abiding citizens.

Fox News: Reds manager ejected after another Yankees pitcher undergoes extensive sticky-substance check
Cincinnati Reds manager David Bell was ejected from Friday night's game against the New York Yankees after a disagreement with umpires regarding pitcher Clarke Schmidt's hands. Schmidt underwent a routine check for substances on his hands, and despite being cleared twice by umpires, Bell believed he should have been ejected.

Forbes: Emoni Bates Shows ‘Glimpses Of Talent’ At NBA Combine As Draft Range Remains In Flux
NBA prospect Emoni Bates is a polarizing player in the draft rankings, with mock drafts placing him anywhere from 23 to 60. He has already worked out with several teams, including the Charlotte Hornets and Dallas Mavericks. At the NBA Draft Combine, he showed his shot-making ability but did not test particularly well. ESPN draft analyst Jonathan Givony thinks Bates is a second-round pick at best, but the 19-year-old has a long road ahead of him. One team to keep in mind for Bates is Charlotte, which has worked him out and has five total draft picks. Another is the Pistons, Bates' hometown team.

Outdoor Life: Best Night Vision Scopes of 2023
Night vision and thermal scopes are both useful for hunting, but experts agree that thermal scopes are superior in almost every situation. Thermal scopes detect temperature via recognizing and capturing different levels of infrared light, while night vision scopes convert and amplify photons of light. Thermal scopes are rated for up to 4,000 yards, whereas night vision scopes are commonly restricted to 1,000 yards or less. Though night vision scopes are more affordable, the older the equipment, the lower the resolution of the image. Ultimately, the choice between night vision or thermal comes down to personal preference and budget.
Jamey Caldwell, a veteran with years of experience working with night vision devices and now the founder of 1 Minute Out, teaches law enforcement and government agencies on the use of night vision devices. Caldwell, along with other experts in the field, recommends thermal scopes over night vision scopes for hunting due to their ability to highlight the animal from farther away. However, some experts still prefer night vision scopes and it comes down to the quality of the scope and the ability of the hunter behind the gun to accurately identify their target. When choosing between the two technologies, consider the range, cost, versatility and the pros and cons of each.

Spectator USA: Docuseries are ruining sports
Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, the star owners of Wrexham football club, celebrated their team's promotion back to the English football league with the cameras filming everything for a hit FX documentary, Welcome to Wrexham. Despite broadcasters paying a premium to show games, documentaries have also become popular. However, much like reality TV shows, what is shown is often scripted, with a sanitized version of what it means to be a player. Critics argue the outcome is good PR for the clubs, but viewers are being sold something that isn't quite true.
Formula 1: Drive to Survive, Full Swing, and Break Point are amongst the sport documentaries produced in a similar formula that appeals to a wider audience with dramatized characterizations of sports stars. Whilst documentaries bring audiences closer than ever to sport, selective editing leads many viewers to wonder how true those "personalities" are. Some F1 drivers have claimed that some scenes are fabricated, and others argue the documentaries are just a way to enhance the "brand."
