Daily Wire: McCarthy Dismisses Freedom Caucus Letter Urging Him To ‘Hold The Line’ On Spending Reforms
House Republicans, including members of the House Freedom Caucus, are calling for a debt ceiling agreement with President Joe Biden that includes spending reforms. The Freedom Caucus is asking for reduced spending, the repeal of multiple Biden administration policies and elevated work requirements for individuals receiving government assistance. However, House Speaker Kevin McCarthy dismissed their letter, saying that he is "not at all" concerned with it even as he needs their votes to pass legislation. Members of the House Freedom Caucus have said they would vote to raise the debt ceiling in exchange for a framework that returns expenditures to fiscal year 2022 levels, increases the debt limit only for the next year, caps annual spending growth at 1% over the next decade, and repeals policies such as student debt forgiveness and increased funds for the IRS.

The Right Scoop: Texas House Republicans to vote on impeaching AG Ken Paxton???
Texas House Republicans vote to impeach Attorney General Ken Paxton over corruption accusations, including bribery and abuse of public trust. The vote comes just days after Paxton called on House Speaker Dade Phelan to resign. If impeached, Paxton will be the third person in the state's history to be impeached and the first statewide officer since the former Governor James "Pa" Ferguson in 1917. The vote requires a majority vote of the state's house chamber, which Republicans now control 85-64. A trial will then be held in the Senate, where Final removal would require two-thirds support.
Washington Free Beacon: Prominent Liberal Sheila Jackson Lee Is No Shoo-In for Houston Mayor, Poll Shows
Sheila Jackson Lee, a 14-term congresswoman and prominent Texas Democrat, is struggling in her bid to become Houston's mayor. A Ragnar Research Partners poll shows that her anti-police record is hurting her chances, with just 19% of voters backing her compared to 20% who support her opponent, Democratic state legislator John Whitmire. Jackson Lee's past positions on crime, including arguing that policing in the United States is systemically racist and introducing a police reform bill, appear to be out of touch with Houston's mayoral voters, who are primarily concerned with public safety. Sixty-three percent of those voters are "afraid to walk at night," while 61% say the city has gotten less safe in the last four years.

The Epoch Times: Woke Vocabulary Phrases and Terms That Should Be Debunked
The "woke" language structure is built on shaky ground. Critical race theory promotes a victim mentality, diversity quotas hurt meritocracy, ESG is a disguise for socialism, gender-affirming care blocks natural processes, and the phrase "people of color" is meaningless. Leftists weaponize phrases like "toxic masculinity" and "transphobia" and control language to make everyone miserable except for themselves. However, God-given rights cannot be taken away by woke culture warriors.

Fox News: Plot to assassinate Queen Elizabeth II during 1983 U.S. visit revealed by FBI docs
The FBI recently released details of a murder plot to assassinate Queen Elizabeth II during her visit to the United States in 1983. The plot involved a caller who vowed to harm the Queen by dropping an object off the Golden Gate Bridge onto her royal yacht or killing her at Yosemite National Park, due to the conflict in Northern Ireland at the time. The Secret Service planned to close the Golden Gate Bridge's walkways when the royal yacht arrived, and the queen's visit was completed "without incident."
During the week-long visit to California, Queen Elizabeth II was accompanied by her husband Prince Philip and received invitations from President Ronald Reagan. Security concerns were raised during the visit and documents show that the FBI noted the "ever present" possibility of threats against the British monarchy, especially from the Irish Republican Army. While her uncle was assassinated in 1979, the Queen completed the U.S. visit "without incident," and the FBI memo stated that "no further investigation is warranted."

Fox News: China enters waters off of Vietnam near Russian gas block in 'worrying escalation'
China sent a research ship into an area in the South China Sea where a Russian firm jointly operates a gas block with Vietnam, escalating tensions with its neighbors. The move comes after Vietnam called on the Chinese vessel to leave the area, which Beijing claims as its own. China has attempted to assert its sovereign claim over the entire South China Sea in recent years, causing friction with neighboring nations.
China claims sovereignty over the Spratly Islands and jurisdiction over adjacent waters, leading its spokesperson to claim that there was no issue with entering other countries’ exclusive economic zones. However, under international law, countries have jurisdictional rights over areas that grant them special rights regarding energy production, marine resource use, and exploration, and international ships are allowed to cross them. The move is seen as a “worrying escalation” and a significant incursion in the region by a South China Sea expert.

Mike Rogers, is demanding answers from the Pentagon over the delayed relocation of the U.S. Space Command (SPACECOM) headquarters from Colorado Springs to Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville, Alabama. Rogers alleges political pressure led to the delay under the Biden administration. The Department of Defense Inspector General investigated the SPACECOM basing decision and determined the DoD “complied with law and policy, and was reasonable in identifying Huntsville as the preferred permanent location.” The GAO advised the Air Force to implement additional transparency measures to “help prevent bias, or the appearance of bias, from undermining their credibility.”

Spectator USA: Martin Amis made me disappointed in modern men
Martin Amis, recently deceased, was a man's writer, though young women like the author still found his books informative about men's perspectives. Amis and his peers taught women the ins and outs of male horniness, though modern dating reality pales in comparison, with men opting for comfort and convenience over sex, and more men prioritizing moral virtue over objectifying women. Modern dating's shift to the online realm has also further disincentivized in-person advances. The death of Amis signals the loss of the committedly horny young man in real life.
