The Epoch Times: E. Jean Carroll Seeks $10 Million in Damages Against Trump Over Latest Comments
E. Jean Carroll amends her first defamation lawsuit against former President Donald Trump, seeking $10 million in compensatory damages and holding Trump liable for remarks he made after being found liable in her second lawsuit.

Fox News: Voters dislike Biden and Trump – whose weaknesses are greater?
President Biden gave a rare news conference before leaving Japan, addressing the debt-ceiling showdown and his strategy for re-election. Critics express concern about his age and physical capabilities, with one analyst calling him an "extraordinarily weak candidate." Despite this, a focus group found that concerns about another Trump presidency may push voters towards a Biden vote.
The Federalist: ‘Succession’ Election Episode Distorts The Reality Of Dems' Deceit
The latest episode of "Succession" portrays a conservative media empire's influence on the election. The character of Jeryd Mencken draws comparisons to Donald Trump, and the episode includes real-life Democrat ballot incongruities. However, the involvement of a controversial figure from Milwaukee's 2020 election suggests ethical questions for HBO and the show's creators. The episode reveals hypocrisy in the leftist intelligentsia's outrage towards media manipulation and ballot controversy, as they turn a blind eye to similar occurrences against the Republicans. The show's dwindling viewership may signal a lack of interest in liberal prestige TV, and it would be better if the show focuses on the media power grab instead of political ideology.

The Federalist: Canada Bill Would Banish Free Speech From LGBT 'Safety Zones'
A bill introduced in the Legislative Assembly of Ontario, Canada may allow the attorney general to charge up to $25,000 fines against anyone saying the wrong thing near a designated 2SLGBTQI+ community safety zone. The bill is vague, for example, it does not define what “2SLGBTQI+” means or includes, which makes it confusing for the attorney general when deciding what is an “act of intimidation.”
The Federalist: Fertility Rates Are Doomed, So You've Got To Do Your Part
Fertility rates across the globe are dropping fast. The United States' total fertility rate went down from 2.12 in 2007 to 1.64 in 2020, and the trend is projected to continue. The decline is due to factors such as increased education and work opportunities for women and greater access to contraception. The consequences could include economic, social, environmental, and geopolitical unrest. The study suggests that adopting policies promoting female reproductive health would be crucial in adapting to a continued low fertility rate.

The Epoch Times: Belarusian Blogger Arrested on Ryanair Flight Pardoned: State Media
Belarusian opposition blogger Roman Protasevich has been pardoned after being arrested in 2021 when his Ryanair flight was forced to land in Minsk. Protasevich had been sentenced to eight years in prison for offenses including inciting terrorism and organizing mass disturbances.

Belarus declared Nexta a "terrorist organization" last year, and its founders and former editors were also sentenced to jail. Protasevich's arrest triggered European Union sanctions against Lukashenko.

Forbes: Liverpool Legend Roberto Firmino ‘Delighted’ To Sign For FC Barcelona
Roberto Firmino, Liverpool's outgoing legend, "would be delighted" to sign for FC Barcelona amidst offers from other clubs. The Brazilian offered his services to Barca through his agent, and sources in Firmino's camp have confirmed that he has already agreed to join the Blaugrana in 2023/2024. However, Firmino would need to lower his reported £9.4 million salary to fit in with Barca's debt-ridden economic reality as they also have to shave €200 million from their wage bill. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is currently Barca's first choice to sign as a second striker, but Firmino is still a viable option for director of football Mateu Alemany as he navigates Financial Fair Play limits.
