Fox News: House holds its nose and approves Biden-McCarthy debt deal
The House approved the bill to suspend the debt ceiling last night, with Democrats bailing out Republicans to salvage the bipartisan measure. President Biden and Kevin McCarthy hammered out a deal that gave political cover to both sides.
Front Page Magazine: Why Leftists Shouldn't Be Called 'Progressives'
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Bernie Sanders are not progressives, but rather statists who manipulate language for their own gain. Their use of terms such as "gender-affirming care" and "book-banning" are attempts to reframe issues to fit their ideological agenda. The idea of an inevitable progression toward socialism is a Marxist fallacy that must be debunked. Patriots must call them out for what they are and oppose their authoritarian and totalitarian schemes to control every aspect of our lives.

Front Page Magazine: The COVID-19 Pandemic Caused Massive Mental Illness on the Left
Lockdowns during the pandemic caused a rise in mental health issues, with Democrats suffering more due to their paranoia and social isolation. The increase in hostility from the left has been seen online and in society, with more cases of online harassment and even violent threats towards those on the right.

Front Page Magazine: The Palestinians and the Holocaust
The Irish Times article fails to mention how Hamas denies the existence of the Holocaust, characterizing it as a fiction concocted by the Zionists. While Abbas underestimates the number of victims of the Holocaust, he uses it in comparing the Israeli treatment of the Palestinians with the Nazi treatment of Jews. The Israeli blockade of Gaza allows in medicine, food, and all other humanitarian aid. Dual-use goods are the only items prevented from entering because they have both a civilian and military use.

The Epoch Times: Australian Banking Regulator Maintains Interest Rate Buffer Rule Amid Rising Mortgage Stress
Australia’s banking regulator, the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA), has stated that it will not ease the interest rate buffer requirements for borrowers, despite more homeowners being subject to mortgage stress. This comes as a significant number of borrowers will see their cheap fixed-rate home loans expire by the end of this year. During a recent Senate committee hearing, the APRA chair, John Lonsdale, said Australian mortgage refinancing had reached the highest level in 20 years, with plenty of competition in the lending market and the absence of regulatory impediments to borrowing. However, refinancing is not always an option for homeowners, as the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) pointed out in its latest Financial Stability Review that around 16 percent of borrowers could not refinance their loans because they failed to meet the serviceability assessments rule.
The Finance Brokers Association of Australia (FBAA) has been calling for a reduction in the interest rate buffer to protect vulnerable borrowers. The FBAA suggested the APRA lower the buffer to 1.5-2 percent, saying it would be more appropriate to do so under the current economic environment. Meanwhile, the APRA head told the Senate committee that Australian banks were unlikely to suffer from banking collapses as witnessed in the United States and European Union, but noted that the recent events had highlighted “new complexities and challenges” in the banking environment. “There are linkages, and there are lessons…we are in the risk business,” Lonsdale said.
The Epoch Times: Labor Reshaping Australia's IR System to Fit the Union Vision
Labor Party's "Same Job. Same Pay" policy will cost BHP $1.3 billion per year, which the company claims is equivalent to 5,000 jobs. The policy aims to eliminate the pay difference between direct and contract labor. The unions support the policy under the mistaken idea that labor should have intrinsic value. However, supply and demand determine pay in the labor-hire realm. As a result, labor shortages drive up wages, while oversupply pushes wages down. The gig economy is next in the labor unions' sights, as they attempt to impose minimum standards on gig workers in the name of security. Meanwhile, the flexibility and profit opportunities of gig work have helped spur Australia's economy.

The Epoch Times: Protest Over Chinese-Owned Company’s Dumping of ‘Toxic’ Waste Tailings in Australia’s ‘Amazon’
China-owned MMG wants to create a tailings dam for mining waste in Tasmania's northwest Tarkine rainforest, an area renowned for its unique ecological features. The Minerals and Metal Group, which processes zinc, lead, and copper, purchased the Rosebery mine where the dam is located in 2009. Environmentalist conservation activist group founder Bob Brown said MMG's intentions would cause excessive damage. Meanwhile, the company is opting for the cheapest and least sustainable method of tailings disposal, according to campaigners, with sustainable methods available. There are currently 250 active tailings dams in Australia. MMG's foreign ownership is relevant to Australia, according to activists. The Rosebery general manager, Steve Scott, said jobs were a concern, and the tailings dam was needed for the time MMG was there.
