The Epoch Times: What Are the Consequences of the White House’s Illegal-Immigrant Strategy?
Biden's "The Invasion" of 6 million illegal immigrants in less than 3 years will lower wages for Americans, raise taxes, change the electorate, and destabilize the country. Evidence suggests it was the plan all along.

Daily Wire: Ohio Retirement Fund Votes For Leftist Shareholder Resolutions At Behest Of Woke Advisory Firm
The Ohio Public Employees Retirement System (OPERS) has been accepting shareholder resolution advice from a left-leaning proxy advisory firm, Glass Lewis, which has led the $92bn fund to approve progressive policies that critics say conflict with Ohio's conservative values. Glass Lewis has recommended that OPERS support causes such as equity audits, carbon emissions reports and the "defund the police" movement, and has also pushed for the publication of climate and diversity reports. Glass Lewis has a largely progressive management team, and Ohio's Republican state lawmakers and attorneys general have been severing ties with asset-management companies endorsing environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG) policies that detract from making profits.
Liberty Nation: BREAKING: Tim Scott Enters 2024 Race
Senator Tim Scott (R-SC) has announced his official bid for the 2024 presidential race, becoming the latest high-profile Republican to do so. He criticized President Biden's administration in his announcement, citing issues such as "culture of grievance," inflation, education, and crime. Scott's polling is currently just under 2% compared to other Republican candidates, but with his official entry into the race and endorsements from other GOP party members, he may become a serious contender. There is speculation that he is positioning himself for the vice presidency rather than the Oval Office, and a Trump-Scott ticket may attract more minority and independent voters.
The Blaze: Pro-life activist claims the purpose of the FBI's visit to her mother was to 'intimidate,' part of a 'coordinated onslaught'
FBI agents visited the childhood home of pro-life activist Elise Ketch, asking to speak with her daughter. Ketch suggests the visit serves as both an attempt to build a case against her PAAU colleague who was indicted under the FACE Act and to intimidate her team. She believes the pro-life movement is perceived as a threat to institutional and corporate power. Meanwhile, the FBI and Justice Department are taking an active role in advancing the cause of pro-abortion radicals in the United States. House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan notes that pro-lifers are targets of the FBI.
Red State: Watch: NAACP's CNN Interview on Anti-DeSantis Florida 'Travel Advisory' Does Not Go as Planned
The NAACP board of directors issued a travel advisory for Florida, claiming that Governor Ron DeSantis is attempting to "erase black history" and limit diversity programs in schools. The advisory states that Florida is "openly hostile" to African Americans, people of color, and LGBTQ+ individuals. When challenged by CNN's Sara Sidner with data showing Florida leads the US in black-owned businesses, the NAACP President dismissed the facts and accused Governor DeSantis of harmful policies to many individuals. The Florida Department of Education's requirements for teaching African American history illustrate a different narrative. The NAACP's actions appear to be a fundraising exercise and an attempt to influence the 2024 GOP presidential primaries.
Forbes: 2024 GOP Presidential Contenders: South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott Announces His Candidacy
South Carolina Senator Tim Scott enters the Republican race for the 2024 presidential nomination, offering a more optimistic approach compared to the rest of the early frontrunners. Despite facing legal challenges, former President Donald Trump continues to lead the Republican pack, followed by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.
National Review: The Corner: Joe Biden Doesn’t Even Know What Spending Cuts Are
Joe Biden's recent social media post shows his supposedly serious plan to reduce the deficit through spending cuts and revenue raises. However, upon closer inspection, his proposed "spending cuts" are simply tax hikes disguised as spending cuts, with $9.48 in tax hikes for every dollar of spending cuts. Biden's true intentions appear to be budget-busting tax-and-spend policies, with his answer to every problem being more spending and taxes. He expects his social media followers to accept this plan, but it lacks transparency and honesty.

The Epoch Times: Christian Student's Killers Released Unprosecuted as Murder Anniversary Passes
Sokoto state prosecutors deliberately refused to charge the killers of Nigerian college student Deborah Emmanuel. Bilyaminu Aliyu and Aminu Hukunci were charged with incitement and public disturbance, and later charged with murder, but were released at the end of January 2023 due to lack of diligent prosecution. Deborah Emmanuel was violently assaulted, stoned, and set on fire after false accusations of blasphemy on May 12, 2022. The case being dropped by Nigerian officials is a bad omen for Nigeria’s Ministry of Justice and portends that Nigerian Christians are now an endangered species.
The Epoch Times: Fire Kills 6, Injures 7 in a House in Abu Dhabi, Officials Say, Cause Unknown
A fatal house fire in Abu Dhabi kills six people and injures seven due to flammable cladding materials and high temperatures, which have resulted in a series of fires throughout the UAE. An investigation has been launched to determine the cause of the fire.
The Right Scoop: Leaked policy reveals just how WOKE Fox News is on the inside…
Fox News has a company handbook outlining its woke policies allowing employees to use bathrooms corresponding with their preferred gender, dress in alignment with their preferred gender, and be addressed by their preferred name and pronouns. The handbook also offers a “Workplace Transition Plan” to aid gender transition. Despite its conservative reputation, Fox News has received a perfect score on the Human Rights Campaign’s Corporate Equality Index and has been critiqued for using activist language around gender affirming care and female pronouns for biological males. Fox’s policies align with New York City Human Rights Law, which requires employers to use preferred names, pronouns, and titles, without retaliation, and allows people to use single-gender facilities corresponding with gender identity, without discrimination or refusal.
Fox News: West Virginia church gives homeless people safe storage space
Homeless people in Charleston, West Virginia, are being provided with safe storage spaces for their possessions at the Transitional Storage Center, run by the Religious Coalition for Community Renewal. The facility opened in May 2019 and offers 150 containers, including lockers, storage totes, and bins, and cell phone charging, as well as a boutique of donated clothes and books. Case management services for housing are also provided. The facility has not had to open a waiting list yet, and has already served 241 program participants, 85 of which have left the program after securing either treatment or permanent housing.
Red State: Shocking Fox News Employee Handbook on 'Gender Transition' Leaks, Shows What Tucker Carlson Was Up Against
Fox News has been criticized for its new policies on transgenderism after The Daily Signal leaked an internal employee handbook from January this year. The handbook reveals Fox employees can use bathrooms according to their gender identity and be addressed by their preferred name and pronouns, with the network promising to help those wanting to transition at work. The revelation is at odds with some of Fox's editorial content, which has attacked transgender ideology while inconsistently using "preferred pronouns" in articles and segments. Commentators say the move risks alienating the network's conservative base, with some suggesting it is trying to have it both ways, presenting itself as sane and conservative while straddling the woke line taken by corporate America.
The Blaze: Students: Homeless drug addicts have invaded California high school — leaving behind needles, sleeping on campus, using restrooms
Students from KIPP San Jose Collegiate demanded district officials take action against homeless drug addicts who have been trespassing on school property and using school restrooms. The coalition of 20 students requested a fence around the school and a new school building, as well as more to be done to ensure students' safety. The homeless individuals have been a problem since a homeless encampment was installed near the school and have been breaking fences, leaving behind used needles and even walking into private restrooms, according to the students.

Foreign Policy: A German-U.K. Defense Deal Can Strengthen NATO
The UK and Germany must enhance defense cooperation to strengthen European security after the illegal invasion of Ukraine. The Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung foundation and the Royal United Services Institute have published a report with 19 recommendations to enhance UK-German defense cooperation, including how the two could develop a bilateral treaty, work together on joint procurement projects, and increase collaboration between their armed forces. Closer U.K.-German defense, security, and foreign-policy cooperation can greatly strengthen the two countries’ abilities to respond to shared challenges and protect their citizens.
Fox News: G7 summit photo shows isolation Russian President Vladimir Putin is facing on world stage
Russia's isolation on the global stage is becoming clear as Putin was absent from this weekend's G7 Summit in Japan. Photos of other World leaders have shown his level of isolation compared to 10 years ago when he was part of the G8. Russia was suspended from the group in 2014 after invading Ukraine's Crimea region, leading to the group reverting to its original G7 name. This comes a day after the G7 leaders have committed to "stand together against Russia's illegal, unjustifiable, and unprovoked war of aggression against Ukraine."

Breitbart: Biden Administration Rebukes Israel as Jewish Leader Visits Holiest Jewish Site
The Biden administration criticized Israel for allowing its citizens to establish a permanent presence in the Homesh outpost in the northern West Bank illegally built on private Palestinian land, which is inconsistent with commitments made. They also condemned the visit of a Jewish political leader to the Temple Mount, stating that this holy space should not be used for political purposes. The administration reaffirmed the longstanding U.S. position in support of the historic status quo at Jerusalem’s holy sites and underlined Jordan’s special role as custodian of Muslim holy sites in Jerusalem.
The New American: Elon Musk Meets Emmanuel Macron for Talks in France - The New American
Elon Musk met with French President Emmanuel Macron as part of Macron's "Choose France" initiative. Talks included boosting investment in green technology and the aftermath of American tariffs on the European green tech sector. Macron positioned France as a possible future site for Tesla factories, despite studies highlighting affordability problems and Europe's reliance on Chinese imports for green tech. Meanwhile, Musk's libertarian approach to content regulation has irked European regulators. Macron had previously expressed concerns about Musk's style of content moderation on Twitter.
Newsbusters: MEDIA FAIL: New Poll Shows Majority of Americans Have ‘Negative’ View of George Soros
A new survey shows that the majority of Americans view George Soros unfavorably, with nearly half agreeing with Elon Musk's comparison of the billionaire to a comic-book villain. Despite accusations of anti-Semitism, Americans are not buying into the media's attempts to shield Soros from criticism. Alan Dershowitz even points out that Soros has been one of Israel's biggest detractors. Soros' spending of at least $131 million on media organizations globally has built a massive publicity shield for himself, which involves attacking his critics as anti-Semitic. It has been shown that journalists who work at major publications like The New York Times, The Washington Post, CBS, CNN, and ABC have also appeared on Soros' "payroll" at other organizations, influencing coverage.
The Epoch Times: 2 Quebec Suspected Chinese Police Stations Received Over $400K in Federal Funding Since 2010: Records
The RCMP suspects two Quebec-based charitable agencies of being undercover Chinese police stations and they have received over $400,000 in federal funding since 2010. The Centre Sino-Québec de la Rive-Sud and Chinese Family Service of Greater Montreal have received grants and contributions from Employment and Social Development Canada, with the CSQRS receiving over $284,895 and the SFCGM receiving $123,750 between 2018 and 2021. Both organizations are overseen by Montreal-area city councillor Xixi Li. The RCMP is investigating and has received “15 serious tips,” according to RCMP Sergeant Charles Poirier, and is encouraging “all the victims and witnesses of illegal activities” to report them.

The Blaze: San Francisco Mayor London Breed names first Drag Laureate — recipient receives $55K to be 'fabulous all the time'
San Francisco's first "Drag Laureate" has been appointed by Mayor London Breed to promote the city's "queer culture and community" with a $55,000 stipend for the 18-month position. Drag queen "D'Arcy Drollinger" is the first to receive the job, which is a joint initiative between the city's mayor’s office, the San Francisco Public Library, and the Human Rights Commission, according to Breitbart. The responsibilities of the job include producing “drag-centered events and programming centered on celebrating and supporting San Francisco’s dynamic and diverse LGBTQ+ community” and ensuring “San Francisco’s rich drag history is shared, honored, and preserved.”
The Epoch Times: Treasures From the Past: Our Libraries, Public and Private
Public libraries have been a driving force in America's development, with individual citizens, local governments, and wealthy donors building repositories for books, enhancing the education of millions of Americans. Private collectors have also made an impact on libraries and architecture, particularly during the Gilded Age, with wealthy bibliophiles building libraries to indulge their passion for rare works. These libraries are ornately decorated from floor to ceiling, offering intimacy and inviting readers to take a book and draw up a chair, paying homage to the printed word. The books that we collect on our own shelves are mirrors of who we are, with each volume holding a personal significance and memory.

Fox News: Nevada Dems scrap one of two companion bills aimed at enhancing fentanyl penalties, alters the other measure
Nevada Democrats' fentanyl legislation is in turmoil after a bill failed to pass while a companion bill was radically altered. Harm reduction advocates expressed concerns over Democrat leadership's proposals, which were intended to increase penalties for low-level users. The amended legislation now starts low-level trafficking charges at 28 grams of possession, a significant departure from the initial proposal of 4 grams.
Democratic Attorney General Aaron Ford presented the revised bill, which also includes legal protection for cases of overdose, and medication-assisted treatment programs in prisons if funding is sourced. Harm reduction advocates have expressed concern about state-run labs' ability to accurately test fentanyl mixtures, as small quantities of the drug mixed in with other substances can lead to severe trafficking penalties under current laws.

Washington Free Beacon: Brittney Griner, Convicted Drug Smuggler, Goes 0-2 in WNBA Return
Left-wing activist Brittney Griner, who was released from a Russian prison for drug smuggling in a prisoner swap involving Viktor Bout, "Merchant of Death," lost her first two WNBA games of the season. Griner, who is a notorious ball hog, recorded just three assists in both defeats. Vice President Kamala Harris met with Griner and her second wife before the game in Los Angeles. The WNBA is struggling to attract audiences, and the mainstream media and liberal establishment are trying to force the public to care about it for the sake of diversity, equity, and inclusion.
Forbes: Kyle Larson Wasn’t The Only One Celebrating A Nascar Win At North Wilkesboro
NASCAR’s All-Star Race made a triumphant return to North Wilkesboro Speedway. The track originally hosted NASCAR races from 1949 until 1996, it was one of the tracks to define the sport and gain it popularity. NASCAR moved away in the late ‘90s to newer tracks, and the old one fell into a state of disrepair. However, an infusion of $18m in government help and some blood, sweat and tears from a dedicated team of track enthusiasts slowly brought it back to life. Since it was so successful this year, there is a good chance NASCAR will consider bringing the All-Star Race back to North Wilkesboro Speedway next year, which could lead to other races happening there in the future.

The Epoch Times: Data Violations: Irish Regulator Slaps Meta With $1.3 Billion Fine
Meta, formerly Facebook, has been fined a record-breaking $1.3 billion by Ireland's Data Protection Commission for violating data protection rules. The company continued to transfer personal data from the EU/European Economic Area (EEA) to the US despite a 2020 EU court ruling that invalidated a data transfer pact between the regions. The fine is the largest under the EU's GDPR privacy laws and beats the previous record of $746 million imposed on Amazon in 2021. Meta has called the penalty "unjustified and unnecessary", and intends to appeal.
The company will have to suspend any future transfer of personal data to the US five months from notification and cease "unlawful processing" of EU/EEA user data in the US within six months of notification. Meta has been fined €2.5 billion by the Irish regulator since GDPR was introduced in 2018. The new fine is the largest ever imposed under GDPR, however, Meta has said that thousands of businesses and other entities rely on data transfers between the US and the EU, and that the case poses a risk to critical infrastructure. The DPC has 10 more open inquiries into the company.
Daily Wire: Meta Hit With Massive Fine Over Data Privacy
Meta, formerly known as Facebook, has been fined $1.3bn and ordered to stop transferring user data to the US over privacy concerns. The largest penalty since the General Data Protection Regulation was created five years ago requires Meta to cease the data transfers within five months. Facebook breached a statute that mandates certain safeguards for international data transfers, according to the Data Protection Commission of Ireland. Meta has stated that there will be “no immediate disruption” to Facebook users in Europe as it appeals the decision and the fine, however, the European Union appears to have cracked down on technology behemoths over their handling of user data.

Daily Wire: Anheuser-Busch Offers To Buy Back Expiring Cases Of Bud Light After Dylan Mulvaney Flap
Bud Light is offering to buy back unsold cases as sales continue to plummet following a disastrous partnership with trans-identifying influencer Dylan Mulvaney. The partnership, which consisted of just one can featuring Mulvaney's face, sparked a boycott causing sales to drop 28%. Several high-profile celebrities, including Kid Rock, threw their weight behind the boycott. The brand had already been slipping out of favor with the rise of hard seltzers and craft beers and had hired Alissa Heinerscheid to reach new audiences, but after the partnership with Mulvaney blew up in their faces, Heinerscheid was placed on leave. A veteran beer marketer was brought in to replace her.

Meanwhile, the Minister of Culture has initiated plans to enforce heavy fines for similar actions that damage monuments.
