Chief Justice John Roberts addressed concerns about Supreme Court ethics in a speech at a dinner hosted by the American Law Institute. Roberts did not address allegations against specific justices but stated that he is committed to maintaining the highest standards of conduct for the court. Democrats and left-wing activists have accused Justice Clarence Thomas of corruption for accepting gifts from a wealthy GOP donor, but legal experts say there is no conflict of interest.

Red State: Karine Jean-Pierre Showered With Receipts After Blatant Lie on Biden and the Debt Ceiling

During the debt ceiling negotiations, Jean-Pierre claimed that Biden had been trying to engage with Republicans for months, which was quickly proven to be false. Even old news articles stated that Biden wouldn't negotiate on the debt ceiling. Jean-Pierre's lies are not fooling anyone, as majority of Americans want a debt ceiling deal that includes deficit reduction.
Fox News: North Carolina redistricting ruling could be big win for Republicans in Congress
The North Carolina redistricting ruling has given Republicans a possible edge in maintaining their majority in Congress next year, with four vulnerable Democratic incumbents now at risk due to the state Supreme Court's decision. The move comes as litigation continues in other states like Ohio, Louisiana, and Georgia, with the U.S. Supreme Court expected to spark further challenges and redrawn maps soon. Republicans have "free rein" to redraw the districts and carry out partisan gerrymandering, though federal laws against racial gerrymandering will remain in place.

Lindsey Graham denounces the "assault on Justice Thomas," who has received criticism for accepting gifts from billionaire Harlan Crow.
Red State: Moore to the Point - When False Flags Fray
The public's trust in once-reliable institutions, such as the media, CDC, and FBI, has declined due to repeated misinformation. After a U-Haul truck crashed into security barriers near the White House with a Nazi flag inside, people speculated that it was a "false flag" event. In the age of misinformation, it's no longer unreasonable to question the credibility of such events. The driver was identified as a 19-year-old from Chesterfield of Indian origin, potentially halting further speculation.
Fox News: Second nominee pulls out of Biden judicial appointment in the same month
President Biden's second nominee, federal prosecutor Jabari Wamble, withdrew from consideration for a Kansas district court seat, citing a desire to continue his work for the United States’ Attorney’s Office.

The hearing centered around a motion Delaney filed that could have required the victim, Chessy Prout, to have her anonymity lifted. Delaney stated that the motion was not meant to intimidate or harm any parties involved.
Spectator USA: Will DeSantis spare America from a Biden-Trump rematch?
Ronald DeSantis announces his presidential candidacy on Twitter, hoping to appeal to those tired of Trump but wanting someone who gets things done. However, his biggest hurdle is still Trump himself, an effective political campaigner. While DeSantis's record as governor of Florida is impressive, having won against culture wars and Covid restrictions, his lack of charisma and being considered an "introvert in an extrovert's world" may become a pitfall for his campaign. DeSantis is currently behind in the polls and has been slipping further back in recent weeks, making his chances of winning slim.

Foreign Policy: 4 Ways U.S. Support for Ukraine Helps Defend Taiwan
US military assistance to Ukraine should not be seen as taking resources away from deterring China's aggression in the Pacific. In fact, aid to Ukraine is enabling and catalyzing front-line Asian allies to significantly boost their own defense budgets and to modernize US forces. The disastrous military performance of Beijing's most important ally in Ukraine is a major geopolitical setback for China, and as the downing of Russian hypersonic missiles by a US-made Patriot missile defense system demonstrates, the United States is also learning valuable lessons from Russia's and Ukraine's performance in a large-scale, nation-on-nation war. US military aid to Ukraine is spurring the largest defense buildup by the United States and its allies in 40 years, and all these benefits come without the use of US troops.
