Spectator USA: The DeSantis family Iowa hoedown
Political insiders discuss the 2024 presidential race in the Thunderdome-themed podcast The District. Episode one sees discussion of Ron DeSantis's Iowa launch, Donald Trump’s Covid revisionism, Chris Christie, Mike Pence, and Democratic candidates. Politico reports that DeSantis is settling into an approach with his wife, Casey, to personalize their family image as young parents. Meanwhile, Trump appears to be defending his past Covid response in Florida, which merely emphasizes the successes of the DeSantis administration.
Elsewhere, Chris Christie has entered the 2024 presidential race with a target on Trump's back. He brings his brash communication skills to a field often devoid of them, but there is an air of nihilism to his run. In tech news, RFK Jr. has been the subject of a recent YouTube deletion, raising suspicions about "Big Tech" and corporate power ahead of 2024.

Breitbart: Jewish Conservatives Launch 'Jews Against Soros'
Conservative activists Joshua Hammer and Will Scharf have launched a group called Jews Against Soros to resist accusations that criticism of donor George Soros is anti-Semitic. Soros is a leading donor to the Democratic Party, supports far-left activists and has been accused of spreading anti-Semitism, including financial contributions to the Women’s March organisation. Some critics say his role gives credibility to the conspiracy theory of a global Jewish agenda, but Hammer and Scharf claim that pillorying him is legitimate criticism of his politics. However, Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu has blamed Soros-backed groups for disrupting his government’s efforts to deport illegal migrants.
Breitbart: La Jolla, California, Wants to Secede from San Diego
The wealthy beach community of La Jolla in San Diego wants to secede from the city due to incompatible spending priorities and a desire for self-governance. This effort, which has emerged roughly once a decade since the 1940s, is motivated by decaying infrastructure and concerns over the potential damage to La Jolla's character from San Diego's efforts to promote more dense housing. If successful, La Jolla would need county planning approval and voter approval in both La Jolla and San Diego.
Flag And Cross: 'The View' Audience 'Gleeful' at Idea of Trump Jailed, Until Whoopi Reminds Them of Cold, Hard Fact
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg indicted former President Donald Trump on 34 counts of falsifying business records in the first degree, the felony charges being based on his finance law violations. Trump isn't charged with any other crime, but the charges are being used preemptively, in case he tries to run for president again. Though Bragg and others want the former President to be convicted and thrown in jail, Rosie had to remind them that an orange jumpsuit wouldn't prevent him from running for president. Regardless of what may happen in Manhattan and Fulton County, Georgia, if Trump wins the Republican nomination, he will be on the ballot. .
Washington Free Beacon: Hunter Biden Plans To Claim 2nd Amendment Right To Bear Arms While on Crack: Report
Hunter Biden may use the Second Amendment as a defense if charged with buying a gun while using crack cocaine. The White House has been pushing for gun restrictions while Hunter’s use of drugs makes him federally prohibited from owning guns. Biden’s lawyers plan on challenging the ban and using it as defense, which could result in an expansion of gun rights. The Supreme Court’s ruling in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen presents a significant opportunity to challenge contemporary gun restrictions against the Constitution.
The Epoch Times: Peter Menzies: Publishers Rightly Fear Bill C-18
Canada’s new Online News Act (Bill C-18) which is designed to force payments from web giants like Facebook and Google and put cash into the hands of news organizations operating in Canada is facing opposition from many innovators who believe in the freedom of the press. Only news organizations approved by government appointees will be eligible to receive payments overseen by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC). Several representatives including The Globe and Mail, La Presse, Le Devoir, News Media Canada, The Line, Canadaland, and Village Media, have spoken against the bill. Those opposed such as the CEO of Village Media, Jeff Elgie, has said that his business model, which has successfully built a network of online news platforms, depends on using Facebook and Google as useful tools in building his business.

Daily Wire: ‘We Were The First Girls To Speak Out’: High School Track Stars Who Lost To Boys File Lawsuit
Four Connecticut female high school track athletes are suing the state’s athletics governing bodies for their policies allowing biological males to compete in girls' sports, which led to the male athletes taking 15 women’s state championship titles and 85 opportunities to compete at higher levels from the female athletes in the 2017, 2018 and 2019 seasons. The plaintiffs argue the policy caused them real harm. The lawsuit aims to prevent the Connecticut Interscholastic Athletic Conference (CIAC) from continuing to allow male athletes to compete in women’s sports.
Claims have arisen that Connecticut's policy of allowing boys to compete in girls’ athletic competitions have resulted in unfair competition and is disadvantaging young female athletes. The CIAC insists its policy is designed to incorporate transgender athletes into competition and claims that they have “worked on a case-by-case basis with families and school districts”. The girls’ lawsuit challenges that policy as inherently discriminatory, violating the Title IX provision which ensures equal sporting opportunities for women.

Ukrainians made tactical gains in two directions near Bakhmut, while Russians tried to advance in other directions and suffered losses. Russians halted their offensive activities in the Bakhmut area as they were regrouping and replacing the Wagner Group mercenaries with regular troops.

The Epoch Times: Communist China: Peaked, Primed, or 'Victim'?
China's future as a great power is a hotly debated topic with some believing that it is in a state of irrevocable decline, and others holding that China's rise continues. However, what is more important is China's self-perception compared to other great powers, particularly the US. If China sees itself as a victim of global affairs, it may act irresponsibly regardless of its peak or decline status. The narrative of Chinese victimhood has undergone changes, from China as victor under Mao to China as victim in the early 1990s. Victimhood infects foreign and security policy, and victims feel they deserve privileged treatment rather than compromise, which may lead to China using force to support its national interests.

Breitbart: Harvard Prof., Ex-IMF Chief Economist Rogoff: Cost of Green Transition Will Push Interest Rates up -- Inflation 'Pretty Strong'
Economist Ken Rogoff from Harvard University predicts that there will continue to be upward pressure on real interest rates for a long time due to increasing costs associated with the green transition and global defense spending. Though there are signs of weakening in some sectors, the underlying Consumer Price Index (CPI) and core inflation remain high around the world. Rogoff believes that the Federal Reserve will face harder challenges over the next decade due to many pressures pushing up prices and may allow inflation more than in the preceding decade.

Different question wording, timing, and sample groups can influence results. Challenges lie ahead for the polling industry as the public may dismiss contradictory results.

Forbes: Defense Industry Dodges A Bullet In Debt Compromise
The defense industry is unique, with the government as its only customer. Political developments, such as the debt ceiling crisis, greatly impact companies like General Dynamics and Northrop Grumman. The national debt is over $31 billion due to low interest rates and increased government spending. Both parties agree that the trend is unsustainable, with Democrats proposing tax increases and Republicans preferring spending cuts. However, a bipartisan compromise was reached that would impose budget caps on federal spending for the next two years without severely cutting defense spending, which is seen as necessary for bolstering military capabilities against China and Russia.

Succession, based on the Murdoch family, aired its finale on HBO last Sunday. Rupert Murdoch's divorce agreement with his fourth wife, Jerry Hall, even stipulated that she was not allowed to provide plot points to the show's writers.

Neil stated that the show had enough overlap with reality to be interesting, but not enough to cause legal issues for HBO. He went on to say that Logan Roy ran his company like a king, just as Murdoch did his.

The Epoch Times: Exercise Offers Hope for Post-Stroke Recovery
A new study shows that at least four hours of light to moderate-intensity physical activity per week significantly improves functional recovery within the first six months after a stroke. Researchers identified two groups of physical activity: “increasers” who had a marked rise in activity levels and “decreasers” who reported a significant drop in their activity levels. The increaser group had better functional outcomes six months post-stroke and comprised mostly younger males with normal cognition who could walk unaided. Stroke severity was not significantly different between the two groups. The decreaser group was less active, with a substantial drop in activity within six months post-stroke, and older with more females and impaired cognition.
Strokes are the second leading cause of death globally, and close to 800,000 Americans suffer a stroke annually, making it the predominant cause of severe long-term disability. A 2023 randomized control study published in JAMA shows that a high-intensity walking program could particularly benefit stroke survivors. The MIND diet, a hybrid of the Mediterranean and DASH diets, can slow cognitive decline after a stroke. Additionally, psychological stress negatively affects the stroke recovery process. Stress management techniques such as mindfulness and meditation can benefit post-stroke healing, and high-quality sleep is critical in aiding recovery.
The Epoch Times: Canada to Become First Country to Mandate Warning Labels on Individual Cigarettes
Canada will require tobacco companies to print health-warning labels on individual cigarettes, becoming the first country to do so. The new health-warning requirements will make it harder for Canadians to avoid health warnings entirely, including messaging such as “Cigarettes damage your organs,” according to projected designs from Health Canada. The new rules come into force at the beginning of August 2021, with the federal government implementing them through a phased approach that will see most measures on the Canadian market within the year. Aiming to support the federal Tobacco Strategy’s target of reaching less than 5% nationwide tobacco use by 2035, the new labelling requirements will extend to all tobacco product packages, with periodic rotation of the warning labels in place.

Inspired by mosquitoes, wasps, and parasitic worms, researchers are developing needles with serrated and softer tips, as well as telescoping segments and microstructures for steering drug flow. With an estimated 16 billion injections given each year, the market for better needles is vast, and these developments could reduce both pain and anxiety for patients ( ).
