Spectator USA: DeSantis 2024 is melting upon contact with reality
Ron DeSantis and Elon Musk's campaign announcement on Twitter last night turned into a hilarious tech-fail, indicating that it's cock-up not conspiracy that governs the world. DeSantis, a successful governor of Florida, is the great right hope for conservatives who want to move past Donald Trump, but his presidential ambitions seem to be melting upon contact with reality. Although his campaign is backed by billionaires and Rupert Murdoch's media empire, he's been slipping further and further behind Trump in the polls, with his recent trip to Iowa going wrong when a clip of him fake laughing went viral.
The Federalist: DeSantis Introducing Himself To Friends Is Not The Way To Win
Republican Governor Ron DeSantis has launched his presidential campaign, but he risks losing supporters if he insists on reintroducing himself. The people he spoke with already agree with him on everything that matters. Despite the media's critical articles, DeSantis proved "The Science" was on his side when he reopened public schools and businesses during Covid. He must prove he can bring the same energy and savvy he displayed in Florida to the U.S. capital and confront dishonest journalists attempting to take him down. Republican voters already know who he is and his campaign consultants need to understand that.
The Federalist: IRS Whistleblower: DOJ 'Slow-Walked' Hunter Biden Tax Probe
Gary Shapley, an IRS whistleblower, told CBS News in an interview that the Department of Justice was obstructing their investigation into Hunter Biden's tax probe which deviated from normal protocols. The allegations suggest Hunter Biden received preferential treatment, while whistleblowers from both the IRS and the FBI suggest the Justice Department is working to protect the Biden family from investigation. House Republicans have now expanded their investigation of the Biden family finances to six additional members.
National Review: Orwell’s forever parable, &c.
George Orwell's Animal Farm continues to inspire and educate people around the world, including escapees from North Korea and human rights activists from Cuba. Meanwhile, a parent's complaint has caused the removal of Amanda Gorman's inauguration poem from a Miami-Dade elementary school library, highlighting the snowflake culture on both the left and right. Elsewhere, the Republican Party is wrestling with the influence of billionaires like Elon Musk and the Chinese Communist Party, while a father and son receive sentences for a lottery fraud scheme. There are also stories of a legendary LPGA founder, a surprisingly sociable desert tortoise, and remembering a dear friend and critic.
The Economist: This week’s covers

American Thinker: What to Do and Why It Matters
Amidst chaos and despondency, we must remember that our actions matter tremendously, as exemplified by a young woman who expressed gratitude for those who stayed awake for years to fight for freedom. These efforts may go unnoticed, but they change minds and inspire others to join the cause. Compared to America's War for Independence that lasted for fifty years, our struggle to reclaim lost personal freedoms is proceeding rather quickly. The best way to prepare for any catastrophic event is to be secure in basic needs, maintain mental and emotional preparedness, learn new skills, find like-minded people, and live a life of example.
The Federalist: The Biggest Loser In The 2024 GOP Primary Is Corporate Media
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis bypassed traditional media gatekeeping in his live Twitter spaces event with Elon Musk and David Sacks. DeSantis addressed issues such as the border crisis, digital currencies, bureaucratic overreach, and woke corporatism. The conversation reflected poorly on the deep unserious media environment we have come to expect .
Republican leaders like Trump, Carlson and DeSantis that reject the media's monopoly on political conversations, are wise to run their campaigns on their own terms. This is a good sign for the GOP and voters who are tired of the dishonest media framing and flat-out lies. DeSantis' decision to bypass traditional media shows promise and shows how candidates can reach audiences in a post-cable world .

National Review: Making a Debt Deal Work
The US government was founded on resolving competing interests by divided government. Debt-ceiling negotiations can provide redress for inflation and weak growth due to wild deficit spending since the pandemic. Divided US governments have a track record of debt-ceiling agreements with spending provisions that succeeded in trimming spending and deficits while spurring growth. A multiyear agreement to the end of Biden’s current term might alleviate Democrats' concerns, rather than considering nonsense ideas like the trillion-dollar coin.

The Epoch Times: IN-DEPTH: Patients Struggling to Shed ADHD Label
As the number of adults seeking an ADHD diagnosis rises, some patients may regret the diagnosis and find it difficult to have it reversed due to the diagnostic process and legal considerations. A diagnosis of ADHD can have long-term impacts on a person's life, including prolonged medication treatment and restrictions in certain fields such as pilot training. However, some employers are seeking "neurodiverse" candidates, and a diagnosis can hold back recovery by becoming part of a person's identity. Concerns over the rise and accessibility of ADHD diagnoses have led some to challenge the legitimacy of the disorder as a catch-all diagnosis.
The Epoch Times: Man Paralyzed for 12 Years Walks Again Thanks to Brain, Spinal Cord Implants
A paralyzed Dutchman, Gert-Jan Oskam, has regained the ability to walk, thanks to a brain-spine interface implant and a device that creates a direct link between brain and spinal cord. The neurological link is severed during accidents, but the implant can detect electrical activity in the outer layer of the brain, which wires brain waves wirelessly to a computer that then sends information to a pulse generator in the spinal cord that switches on muscles for walking. Researchers are also trying to see if the technology can be used to restore arm movements. The device has changed Oskam’s life after he was told he would never walk again.
National Review: Where’s the Choice for Women Pressured into Unwanted Abortions?
A new study has highlighted the issue of coerced and unwanted abortions in the US, with nearly 70% of women surveyed saying their abortions were inconsistent with their own values and preferences, and a quarter saying they were “unwanted” or “coerced”. Women shared experiences in which pressure to abort came from male partners, parents, or even healthcare providers, leading them to underground and unregulated providers. The study also revealed that women who felt pressured to have abortions were more likely to blame them for their mental health issues. The authors of the study argue there is a national, hidden epidemic of unwanted abortions that needs more attention.
Fox News: 'Permission slip to cartels': Fentanyl overdoses are surging, so what is Congress doing to help?
Lawmakers are set to vote on the "Halt All Lethal Trafficking of Fentanyl Act," a bill designed to combat the influx of synthetic opioid and curb overdoses in the US. The bill proposes strict penalties for possessing and distributing fentanyl mixtures, and has been introduced amid suggestions that Chinese entities and cartels are flooding communities with the drug, and that the southern border is being used as a gateway. Approximately 200,000 Americans have died from fentanyl overdoses since 2020. Democrats have also proposed bills targeting the fentanyl trade, calling for more mental health services and increased border security.
