Foreign Policy: The Strangest Tourist Traps
Governments are revitalizing unlikely tourist destinations such as Xinjiang, Nagorno-Karabakh, and Kashmir despite ongoing conflicts or human rights abuses. China is turning Xinjiang into a tourist trap after years of human rights abuses to attract Han visitors, while India wants to renew tourists' fascination with the war-torn Kashmir region. Azerbaijan seeks to turn the fortress town of Shusha, the key to the recent war with Armenia, into a tourist resort, and Saudi Arabia is also betting on becoming an international tourist destination. However, promoting tourism in these locations raises political, economic, and diplomatic concerns.
National Review: Could I Have Cracked the Biden Brain Code?
Joe Biden's catchphrase "lying dog-faced pony soldier" is a product of his amalgamated, misfiling memory bits, gathered from two different John Wayne movies. The phrase has likely been constructed from clips of She Wore a Yellow Ribbon and The Quiet Man. The phrase has no actual meaning and is seemingly an incoherent insult intended for his opponents.

Fox News: Company offers ‘baby bonus’ for employees in effort to combat ‘anti-family’ push towards abortion
PublicSq., a pro-family company, is offering employees a $5,000 "baby bonus" for having a child or adopting to counter the corporate push to encourage abortions as opposed to maternity leave.

Seifert called out Amazon, Airbnb, Target, and others who offer abortion benefits to their employees, claiming they are trying to avoid maternity leave costs and that strong families build a strong nation. The new policy has already seen three pregnancies announced in the last month.

Forbes: Goldman Sachs Is a Thorough Rejection of the ‘Easy Money’ Fed Narrative
Goldman Sachs's wealth management arm warns clients that it's too risky to keep money in cash and encourages them to stay invested. They argue that it's difficult to time the markets and that the 10 best market days over any reasonable timeframe strongly inform long-term investor returns. Despite the Fed's "easy money" narrative, Goldman Sachs scoffs at the notion that it's as simple as it sounds. The most naive buyer of equities can only express unsophisticated views about the Fed's power over equity prices when there are markets populated by buyers only while the cynical bear expresses pessimism. Investors who forfeit compound returns will eventually realize that markets have their say and direct capital to its highest use.
Goldman Sachs knows that markets are relentlessly quantitative, and what’s quantitative explicitly rejects a Fed narrative that powerfully vandalizes reason because it has nothing to do with reality. Markets powerfully and sometimes brutally direct capital to its highest use. The asset gatherers, capital allocators and investment bankers at Goldman Sachs are acquainted with this and they know it well. They argue that markets always and everywhere have their say. Economists and their media/academic enablers who respectively embrace and project the notion that the Fed is the proverbial capital allocator in possession of the power to turn the "economy" on or off are living in the Dark Ages.
Flag And Cross: Cava Group Builds On IPO Set To Be A Monster Performer In 2023
Mediterranean restaurant chain Cava Group made a strong debut on the New York Stock Exchange, with shares opening at $42, almost double their IPO price of $22. Despite a fall to $37.15 the next day, Cava's IPO still ranks it fourth among the top-performing IPOs of 2023. The slowdown in IPOs in 2023 can be attributed to market volatility, inflation, and the Federal Reserve's interest rate hikes.

Fox News: Why Father's Day reveals an American crisis
Nearly 18.3 million children in the U.S. are growing up without a father in their home, leading to many developmental challenges. Fatherless children are two times more likely to undergo mental and behavioral struggles, are 10 times more likely to abuse chemical substances and are more likely to drop out of school. Children that grow up in fatherless homes are also 20 times more likely to be incarcerated. Jack Brewer Foundation is one of the organizations working to provide mentorship and support for children and young adults without active fathers in their lives, including sports, music and after school and summer mentorship programs for at-risk fatherless youth. The Heroes 2nd Chance Fatherhood Program works to break the cycle of fatherlessness by offering critical rehabilitative resources to incarcerated men.
Fox News: On Father's Day, let's stop putting down dads and their key roles in kids' lives, say pastor and professor
Fatherlessness is a major problem in the United States, with 40% of children not living with their biological fathers. This can lead to depression, drug abuse, teen pregnancy, criminal behavior and suicide. Pastor Sean Teis created God Is My Dad to help children and single mothers navigate the difficulties of life without a father. He insists that fatherhood is a heroic role for men, helping to affirm children and provide security and guidance. Cultural attitudes towards men contribute towards fatherlessness too, with toxic masculinity becoming a derogatory term for traits such as dominance, assertive power and superiority. A love of God provides an antidote for this degradation of masculinity.
