PJ Media: Is Adam Schiff on the Verge of Being Censured?
Rep. Adam Schiff faces a censure resolution submitted by Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) for repeatedly making false claims about Trump colluding with Russia and deceiving the public, Congress, and the committee.

The Republicans are expected to vote on the resolution on Wednesday or Thursday.
Spectator USA: Did energy secretary Jennifer Granholm lie to Congress?
US Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm has admitted to misleading Congress regarding her stock holdings, which included an investment in Ford. Granholm failed to disclose that her husband holds thousands of dollars worth of Ford stock, while her department awarded hundreds of millions of dollars of government contracts to the automaker. Granholm's previous ties to Proterra, an electric vehicle battery company in which she owned millions of dollars of stock and sat on the board, is also causing congressional concern. The revelations have led critics to allege a "pattern of ethical issues" during Granholm's tenure.
Fox News: Ethics hearing delayed in Nevada case against Gov. Joe Lombardo, who wore his police badge while campaigning
Republican Nevada Governor Joe Lombardo's ethics hearing has been postponed until July 25, where he faces a nearly $1.7 million penalty for wearing his police badge and uniform while campaigning for the governor's mansion last year. Legal filings from Lombardo's attorneys have called the proposed penalties "eye-watering," unprecedented and "based on his use of the same four images on social media during his gubernatorial campaign."
Fox News: Trump slams 'sham' federal indictment as 'election interference,' 'most heinous abuse of power' in US history
Donald Trump has pleaded not guilty to 37 federal felony charges stemming from an investigation into his alleged retention of classified records at Mar-a-Lago. The charges include willful retention of national defense information, conspiracy to obstruct justice, and false statements. Trump cast his indictment as election interference by the Biden administration, defending himself by saying that the Presidential Records Act applies to his case and not the Espionage Act under which he has been charged. He went on to criticize Biden, calling him the most corrupt president in US history and accusing him of having his top political opponent arrested and charged.

National Review: The Corner: Nikki Haley’s Political Juggling Act

The Epoch Times: Police Decide No Crime In Scottish MP 'Death-Threat' Tweet
A tweet threatening to "kill" an MP following a parliamentary debate on defining "sex" as biological sex did not meet the criminal threshold, according to the Metropolitan Police. Scottish National Party MP Joanna Cherry reported the tweet to parliamentary authorities and the police, but said it was not directed at those supporting clarification around gender reassignment discrimination protections. Two petitions on the matter were debated. Cherry argued there were legal issues arising from the ability of transgender people to obtain a Gender Recognition Certificate without medical diagnosis, while opponents claimed legal definition would discriminate against some individuals.
The Epoch Times: At Least 103 Wedding Guests Killed When Boat Capsizes in Northern Nigeria

Foreign Policy: A Drawn-Out Ukraine War Should Not Change U.S. Strategy
The United States must continue supporting Ukraine against Russia, despite concerns that protracted support erodes the effectiveness of sequencing in dealing with the China and Russia threats. A protracted war hurts Russia more than the United States, weakens a weaker adversary, and exposes military-technological and armaments production deficiencies. Sequencing remains the best strategy, but refining the strategy will be necessary over time. The U.S. should use the current window wisely and shift NATO’s center of gravity eastward to prepare and avoid a catastrophic war with China.

Three journalists have identified the origin of Covid-19 as being three lab researchers who contracted the virus at the Wuhan Institute of Virology. Ben Hu, Yu Ping, and Yan Zhu were named "patients zero" by U.S. government officials.

The origin of the virus remains a subject of speculation, with current U.S. investigations offering different views.
The New American: Not Just Balloons: U.S. Slams China for Having Spy Base in Cuba - The New American
China has been running a military base in Cuba at least since 2019 as part of its worldwide intelligence-gathering projects, according to a Biden administration official. The unnamed official said that US intelligence circles have known about Chinese espionage activities from Cuba for some time. The Wall Street Journal recently reported that Cuba and China had also agreed to construct a clandestine electronic eavesdropping station in Cuba.

The Epoch Times: Gas Code Promises Secure Supply at 'Reasonable' Prices
A new code of conduct is set to ensure reasonable gas prices for Australian consumers over the next two years. Aiming to provide producers with certainty to invest in production, the code plans to secure additional domestic supply commitments in the short term to shield the east coast gas consumers from international price hikes. The design features a $12 price cap and a process for exemptions from the cap, while small producers of gas will be exempt from the cap if they supply the Australian domestic market only. The full text of the code will be released in the coming weeks, while its effectiveness will be reviewed in mid-2025.

Forbes: Aerojet’s Merger With L3Harris Is Crucial To Preserving Competition In Large Solid Rocket Motors
L3Harris' plan to merge with Aerojet Rocketdyne would preserve competition in large solid rocket motors (SRMs) market. Only two domestic producers of large SRMs exist and Northrop Grumman has a dominant market share, posing a challenge for the Defense Department in securing large SRMs. Aerojet's biggest opportunity is to supply motors for one stage of the military’s next-generation ICBM. Without the resources provided by L3Harris, Aerojet Rocketdyne would struggle to keep up with the challenge posed by Northrop’s rocket-motor business. The merger would be a godsend for the Pentagon seeking to preserve competition in large SRMs.

PJ Media: AMA Doubles Down on Gender-Affirming Care for Kids
European medical societies are re-examining the efficacy of gender-affirming care for minors. The NHS recognizes uncertainty regarding youth with "late-onset gender dysphoria." Meanwhile, in the US, the American Medical Association, the American Psychiatric Association, and the American Academy of Pediatrics continue to insist that gender transition treatments are necessary. Widespread misinformation has led 18 US states to ban gender-affirming care, even though more than 2,000 scientific studies have examined aspects of gender-affirming care since 1975. Doctors in Europe are having a genuine debate on this issue, but American medical establishments seem to be under a lot of pressure to conform.

The Epoch Times: Top 4 Nutrients Men Often Lack: Expert
Men often experience deficiencies in four essential nutrients: vitamin D, omega fatty acids, vitamin B12, and folate. These deficiencies can have serious health consequences, including an elevated risk of dementia and cancer. By supplementing these nutrients, men may enhance their overall quality of life, fortify their immune system, and potentially alleviate depression and anxiety. Fathers should prioritize their health to benefit themselves and their children, as a father’s commitment to healthy eating habits positively impacts their entire family’s health and lifestyle.
The Epoch Times: Transgender Treatment in Children Leads to Lifelong Medical Side Effects
The decision to undergo hormone treatment or surgery for gender dysphoria has lifelong health consequences that go beyond cosmetic changes. Reversible methods such as "acceptance and affirmation" can be used for children, but puberty blockers can have permanent effects on bone mineral density and cognitive brain development. Hormone therapies can lead to weight gain, depression, and other complications. Informed consent is important to ensure patients understand the risks and benefits of gender-affirming medical interventions. Mental health professionals should address symptoms that interfere with a person's capacity to consent to gender-affirming treatment before treatment is initiated, and alternative decision makers may need to be appointed in some cases.

The Epoch Times: IN-DEPTH: A Look at the Suspects, Many With Long Criminal Histories, Behind Random Attacks in Canada
Unprovoked stranger attacks are becoming more frequent in Canada, with drug-induced psychosis and a lax criminal justice system among the possible causes. Documentary filmmaker Aaron Gunn blames the legal system for releasing repeat violent offenders, one of whom had over 50 convictions when he killed a man who had stepped in to help his girlfriend during an attack. Many of the offenders in unprovoked attacks are well-known to the justice system and have extensive criminal records. Current legislation reform is not seen as making meaningful change, with critics questioning the focus on the suspect's race or Indigenous background. This is a growing concern among conservative regions.

Price is the fourth council member to be arrested in recent years, and he is facing counts of embezzlement, perjury, and conflict of interest. The District Attorney's office emphasized that such corruption undermines government integrity and erodes public trust.
PJ Media: Federal Indictment May Put Other Trump Cases on Hold
Multiple cases against former President Donald Trump, including those brought by New York Attorney General Letitia James and Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, are expected to be put on hold following Trump's federal indictment on 37 criminal charges in Miami. James stated that the civil case against Trump, as well as Bragg's and the ongoing case in Georgia, are likely to be adjourned pending the outcome of the federal case. Bragg's case, which investigates a misdemeanor campaign finance violation, has been criticized for being politically motivated. It is probable that some of the cases will face delays as a federal trial will take priority.

Forbes: Iwabuchi’s Omission Leaves Kumagai As Lone Survivor From 2011 World Cup-Winning Team
Mana Iwabuchi was left out of Japan's 23-player squad for the upcoming Women's World Cup due to poor form and lack of game time.

Coach Futoshi Ikeda credited Iwabuchi for her qualities but said he chose players based on form, fitness, the state of the team, and what they need in certain situations.
