Red State: Biden Admin Doubles Down on Woke as Consumer Protection Agency Homes in on Protecting Trans Businesses
The Biden administration is working to protect LGBT+ businesses through the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau by implementing a rule that requires financial services providers to collect information on small business loan applicants, including whether the business is LGBT-owned. Some Republicans have introduced legislation to reverse the rule. There are concerns about religious liberty implications and pressure on financial services institutions to lend money to businesses that may not actually be creditworthy. Moreover, the CFPB has a history of shoddy practices with regard to consumer data protection, raising further privacy concerns.

The Epoch Times: IN-DEPTH: Will the 2024 Election Be Secure? Presidential Candidates Weigh In on the Issue
As the US approaches the 2024 election, concerns over election security continue from the aftermath of the 2020 election. Major party candidates were questioned on whether they believed the outcome of the 2020 presidential election was affected by election tampering, what should be done to ensure a fair election in 2024, and whether they would accept the outcome of the 2024 election. While President Donald Trump continues to claim election interference caused a difference of 16 percentage points in the outcome, former ambassador Nikki Haley, Senator Tim Scott, and entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy believe there was some election tampering but that it didn't change the outcome of the race. Biden has expressed concerns that laws aimed at voter suppression could impact the integrity of the election.

Fox News: Former Lia Thomas teammate challenges White House rhetoric on trans athletes: 'Dangerous for women'
Former University of Pennsylvania swimmer, Paula Scanlan, has spoken out about the danger of having biological men in women’s spaces, in response to White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre's comments that voicing concerns about women's safety is dangerous. Scanlan was not a teammate of transgender swimmer Lia Thomas but took the opportunity to speak out about women's sports after the injury of Payton McNabb, who sustained a concussion and neck injury when a transgender volleyball player hit her in the face. Scanlan clarified that the team members were silenced at Penn. She is now heading to Capitol Hill to advocate against transgender athletes' ability to compete in women's sports.
Forbes: 74% Of Black Executives Say Hiring Practices Have Improved Since George Floyd’s Murder, Survey Finds
Black executives report positive changes in hiring, retention, and promotion of Black employees since the social justice movement in 2020, but also say there is still a need for greater diversity in the workplace, according to a CNBC survey. 74% of Black executives have seen positive change in these areas since the murder of George Floyd, but less than half felt that treatment of Black employees had improved. Representation of Black executives on senior leadership teams increased by 41%, but nearly two-thirds of respondents said Black employees were underrepresented in upper management. One-third of respondents have left organizations since 2020, with lack of commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion by their employers cited as a factor.

The Epoch Times: Ukraine Reports Limited Gains; Moscow Claims Kyiv’s Offensive Has Stalled
Kyiv claims it has made significant military gains after two weeks of a Ukrainian counter-offensive in the Donetsk and Zaporizhzhia regions, having retaken strategic positions beyond Russian defense lines. Moscow says the Ukraine counter-attack has been halted, but Ukrainian Deputy Defense Minister Hanna Malair insisted Ukraine had pushed past Russian defenses to retake 44 square miles of land in the Berdiansk and Melitopol directions. Ukraine has not officially announced the launch of its counter-offensive but instead has described the operation as "probing attacks" or "reconnaissance in force," although Russia has stated the operation was launched along multiple sectors of the front line.
Kyiv and Moscow's reports of battlefield victories have not been independently verified, but officials on both sides are claiming victories. Both sides have also reported capturing and then recapturing the small village of Piatykhatky. Vladimir Rogov, a prominent pro-Moscow official in Zaporizhzhia, appeared to confirm that Ukrainian forces had taken Piatykhatky but since had been driven out again. Thousands have died since Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022, and last September, Moscow announced the annexation of four captured regions, including Donetsk and Zaporizhzhia. Kyiv and its allies decry the invasion and subsequent annexations as an unprovoked war of aggression and illegal land grab.

The Blaze: 'We do not support Taiwan independence': Blinken reiterates Biden admin's support of 'One China' policy
Secretary of State Blinken reiterated the US's support for the "One China" policy during his visit to China this week. He denied supporting Taiwan independence and called for a peaceful resolution of cross-strait differences while expressing concerns about China's increased aggression towards Taiwan. Blinken also warned that a crisis over Taiwan could produce an economic crisis affecting the entire world. The trip aimed to stabilize US-China relations, despite the many issues on which the two countries disagree.
The Epoch Times: Xi Rejects US Bid for a Military Crisis Hotline: Blinken
China has rejected the resumption of direct military communication with the US despite repeated efforts from Secretary of State Antony Blinken. Blinken had suggested setting up a crisis communication line with China, which has refused all efforts to open lines of communication, including over a dozen requests to talk with the Pentagon since 2021. Robert Spalding, a senior fellow at the Hudson Institute, suggested that China is using the military communication channel as a bargaining chip to get more concessions from the Biden administration. The US is continuing its efforts to engage with China despite the impasse.

American Thinker: If Joe Biden's economy is as great as he says it is, why have 401(k)s plunged 20%?
Biden claims credit for strong economy but worker 401(k) savings have fallen over 20% due to market drop & consumer withdrawals for "hardship." Wages are down 2.3% and inflation is squeezing workers from two ends, leading to credit card delinquencies & auto loan payments. While inflation is getting under control, Americans are unlikely to see any relief due to high interest rates. Worker 401(k) falls in savings are hugely demoralizing to their savers & could affect voting choices.
The Epoch Times: Tories Say Sustainable Jobs Act Will Cause Significant Job Loss
The Canadian Conservative Party has criticized the Liberal government's proposed Sustainable Jobs Act. Although the act aims to transition oil-and-gas-sector workers into green-energy jobs, Conservative MP Shannon Stubbs says that it will "kill" hundreds of thousands of good-paying Canadian jobs, undermine Canada's energy security, and lower the country's GDP by 10%. However, Natural Resources Minister Jonathan Wilkinson has defended the legislation, saying that it is necessary in order to address climate change and secure Canada's future.

The Epoch Times: IN-DEPTH: Pentagon Paying the Price for Going 'Woke'
The Biden administration's push for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) training in the military has become a controversial issue in recruitment efforts due to anecdotal evidence that conservative families are hesitant to encourage their children to enlist. Critics argue that DEI indoctrination is creating a "civilian and military cultural divide" that is deterring potential recruits, particularly those who traditionally fill the all-volunteer ranks. Despite Pentagon officials claiming that DEI has no negative impact on recruitment, Republicans are pushing for the repeal of Congress's requirement for the DOD to establish Chief Diversity Officers and other DEI-related programs. Meanwhile, the military's PY21-22 recruiting efforts have experienced record shortfalls, primarily due to strong competition from the private sector for workers and quality-of-life issues.

Washington Free Beacon: REVIEW: ‘The Flash’
The popularity of superhero movies is due to the lack of traditional heroes in popular culture. However, recent superhero movies have taken the hero out of the superhero, resulting in dull and unlikable characters. The Flash, with its unattractive and whiny central character played by Ezra Miller, is a prime example of this. The film's depiction of Barry Allen's use of his superpowers and his absurd running gait are also ridiculous. Miller's performance removes the heroism from Barry Allen and turns him into a universe-destroyer, making this movie a catastrophe and a disservice to the superhero genre.
The Epoch Times: An Aestival Festival: Some Poems for the Summer
The lay of the land and the weather can affect military battles and poetry alike. Poets often consider terrain and climate, creating verse from environments familiar to them.

The Epoch Times: How Can You Cultivate a Gut Microbiome to Live to Be 100?
Researchers have discovered that centenarians from Japan and Sardinia have a distinct gut microbiome that may unlock the secret to their longevity. The gut microbiome is composed of trillions of microorganisms in the human digestive system, including bacteria, viruses, and fungi. The study found that viruses play a key role in maintaining a healthy microbiome, especially in centenarians who had a more diverse virome. These viruses helped boost bacteria, stabilized the gut flora, and reduced inflammation. The study identified specific genes that supported the production of hydrogen sulfide, which is known to have a beneficial longevity effect in the right amounts.

The Epoch Times: Health Officials Put Americans on Notice Over Disease Now Found Across the US
Authorities across the United States have issued notices about West Nile virus, a deadly disease that can be spread via mosquitoes, after more positive cases have been reported. The virus has been found in Arizona, Oregon, Wyoming, Nebraska, Illinois, South Carolina, Georgia, and Pennsylvania.

Fox News: Texas Gov. Greg Abbott says ‘rogue’ DAs who don’t uphold the law ‘will be held accountable'
Texas Governor Greg Abbott has warned that district attorneys who fail to uphold the law and protect state residents will be held accountable under a new law he signed earlier this month. He invoked House Bill 17 which is designed to "reign in rogue district attorneys." The law expands the definition of official misconduct allowing Texans to call for the removal of district attorneys who refuse to prosecute groups of criminal offences by filing a petition. The law is aimed primarily at leftist district attorneys who refuse to prosecute certain offences like abortion or drug-related offences.

NCAA has still done nothing to keep men from competing in women's sports.

Newsbusters: Chris Licht and the Decline of Journalism
CNN's recently fired President Chris Licht believes newsrooms are obsessing over diversity, but not the kind that would restore public confidence in news reporting. He believes that offering mouth-to-mouth resuscitation to a corpse is equivalent to what he tried to do. The New York Times serves as one of the many examples of the opposite since nearly every opinion column demonstrates anti-Trump, anti-DeSantis, and anti-Supreme Court news stories that seem to favor what they believe editorially. Critics argue that journalism is in trouble, largely due to its own making, and that trust is key to the success of the industry.
