Newsbusters: NewsBusters Podcast: The Media and the Perpetual Trump Prosecution Machine
Trump's indictment over classified documents feels like the Mueller sequel, with the prosecution appearing to be the purpose regardless of the verdict. Biden scandals get no attention while the news cycle is dominated by Trump.
The RNC is considering allowing Democrat media outlets to moderate GOP debates, however, a liberal network moderator's goal seems to be embarrassing and damaging Republican presidential candidates instead of helping Republican voters decide which candidate to choose.
National Review: Chris Christie Hits Candidates Who Won’t Take On Trump: ‘They’re Afraid of Him’
Chris Christie criticizes Republican rivals who refuse to confront Trump directly and urges them to make the argument that he is a three-time loser. He says that Trump only understands force and that candidates need to distinguish themselves from him. Christie also comments on the indictment in special counsel Jack Smith's classified-documents probe, estimating that only a third of the evidence is in the indictment. He believes there will be a lot more evidence and that Trump’s behavior with classified documents is inexcusable.
The Epoch Times: Future of Bill to Nullify ATF Pistol Brace Rule Is Bleak, Even If It Clears Republican House
The House of Representatives will debate the controversial rule from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives regulating pistol stabilizing braces under the Congressional Review Act. The bill, HJ 44, will face difficulty passing as it is expected to fail in the Senate and be vetoed by President Joe Biden if it survives. Republicans argue that the ATF has overstepped its authority, while Democrats claim that it will save lives by preserving the Second Amendment. The bill is seen as one part of a bigger discussion regarding deference to the executive and bureaucratic state.
The ATF's controversial rule on pistol stabilizing braces, regulating under the Congressional Review Act, faces the House of Representative's debate. Democrats express that the rule will save lives by preserving the Second Amendment, while Republicans argue that the ATF has overstepped its authority. The bill's vote was largely symbolic as the House rules committee is controlled by Democrats, and the committee chair, Rep. Tom Cole (R-Okla.), believes the bill will fail in the Senate. The bill's importance is viewed as part of a bigger discussion regarding the executive branch's deference and the bureaucratic state.

National Review: The Corner: Net Zero: Central Planners and the Price of Money
Britain's Chancellor of the Exchequer, Jeremy Hunt, has nominated Megan Greene to join the Bank of England's rate-setting panel. Greene has called for the bank to create "preferential" negative interest rates to help speed up the push for net-zero emissions, despite acknowledging that such a move could threaten the bank's independence. She suggested that the BoE should introduce a system of "dual interest rates" to "give banks preferential (negative) rates if they direct the funds towards green investments". The proposal would move Britain further away from normal market economics, with the government allocating investment capital to its favoured clients and projects.

Spectator USA: The GOP is sprinting away from criminal justice reform
The First Step Act, a criminal justice reform signed by Donald Trump in 2018, has become a controversial issue within the Republican Party. Some members argue that the legislation, which includes a risk and needs assessment program to reduce recidivism rates, shortened mandatory minimums, and addressed pre-2010 sentencing disparities, is making the party appear soft on crime during a post-pandemic crime wave. Florida governor Ron DeSantis has even vowed to repeal the act if he wins the presidency, calling it a "jailbreak bill." However, supporters of the act claim that prisoners released under its terms have a much lower recidivism rate than the general prison population, and argue that it is part of the "Republican tradition of delivering real-life results that embolden Americans to pursue their fullest potential."
South Carolina Senator Tim Scott, who is looking to be a potential vice presidential pick, has advocated for policies that some Republicans have labeled "Defund the Police" measures, such as withholding federal grants from states whose police departments refused to comply with submitting officers involved in fatal civilian shootings to a national database and banning chokeholds. He has also been criticized for supporting bills that would reduce prison sentences and lower mandatory minimums for non-violent drug offenders. While he has previously labeled himself the "poster child" of criminal justice reform, he has recently changed his tune, stating that limiting grant funding to police departments that don't meet certain standards is "defunding the police." It remains to be seen how these issues will be received by primary voters.

Spectator USA: Can cloning save species from extinction?
The San Diego Zoo's Wildlife Alliance has announced the birth of Trey, a clone of a Przewalski's horse named Kuporovic, one of the last wild horse species on the planet. Trey will reintroduce genetic diversity to a shrinking species that has survived through inbreeding. Przewalski's horses were declared extinct in the wild in 1969, after which a studbook was established, a foundation advising on breeding to increase diversity, and the teaching of the horses how to live independently in the wild. There are about 2,000 Przewalski’s horses today, but their genetic stock is still limited. Cloning may come to the “genetic rescue” of such endangered species.
