New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu is considering seeking the GOP nomination for the 2024 presidential election and is expected to make a decision in the next two weeks. Despite the crowded field of candidates, Sununu believes there is still a pathway for him to win and that the money and support are already lined up. He is also considering where he can be most effective and has expressed a desire for more candidates to be empowered. Experts have predicted that a crowded field will likely benefit former President Donald Trump, who currently leads the GOP primary field with 53.2 percent of support.

Liberty Nation: Will DEI Ban Make It to Gov Greg Abbott’s Desk This Session?
Texas lawmakers have passed a bill banning mandatory Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) training at state public colleges and universities, as well as eliminating DEI offices.

The Texas Republican Party now seeks to overturn the bill, as it is claimed to deviate from the original intent. Schools would be given the option to remove DEI placements voluntarily, but if the bill passes, it could cost the state over $1 billion in lost grant funding.

PJ Media: Biden's Handlers Think They Have a NATO Ally in Erdogan. But Erdogan Has Other Ideas.
Joe Biden's congratulatory message to Turkish President Erdogan on his reelection as questionable (as any these days) was business as usual, but revealed a stark difference between the worldviews of the two men. Erdogan's victory has serious geopolitical implications stemming from the fall of Constantinople to the Ottoman Turks 570 years ago, marking the extinguishing of the Roman Empire after over two thousand years. Erdogan marked the anniversary by reopening Hagia Sophia as a mosque, where his supporters celebrated his victory, shouting "Allahu Akbar." Erdogan's neo-Ottomanism is an integral aspect of his stance towards his neighbors, including his desire to reconquer the lands the Ottoman caliphate once ruled and his increasing belligerence towards fellow NATO country Greece .

Forbes: Fastest And Best Way For Foreign Investors To Get A Green Card
Foreign investors can obtain a green card in the US through the EB-5 regional center green card route, with certain projects entitled to priority processing, such as infrastructure, rural or high-unemployment projects.
