Red State: Jonathan Turley Slams Merrick Garland as a Failure but Misses the Mark in One Big Way
Former prosecutor and legal voice on the right, Jonathan Turley, writes an op-ed critical of Attorney General Merrick Garland's tenure. While Turley lays out why Garland's term has resulted in another indictment on the Department of Justice's partisanship, the author believes that Garland's role has been more damning than Turley suggests. Turley notes that Garland had a chance to clear house, but instead promoted some of the DOJ's worst actors and formed a politically charged relationship with Biden. Garland was also accused of failing to address law-breaking during the Dobbs decision and allowing his department to target parents as terrorists. Turley suggests that Garland could have taken steps to assure the public there is no two-tier justice system but instead refused to do so, even declining to appoint a special counsel in the investigation of Hunter Biden.
Breitbart: Comer: We're Going to Bring In Key Figures in Biden Family Influence Scheme
House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) plans to bring in key figures in the “Biden family influence-peddling schemes” for depositions. Comer has issued a subpoena for former Hunter Biden business partner Devon Archer and is negotiating a deposition date. He vows to keep fighting to get more information despite obstacles posed by the FBI, DOJ, Democrats in Congress, and the mainstream media. Comer points to the FD-1023, which he says shows that then-Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter accepted bribes from Burisma, among other issues, as evidence that the federal government has turned a blind eye to Joe Biden.
Breitbart: Turley: Majority Seeing Trump Indictment as Political Is 'Bad News' for DOJ
Legal scholar Jonathan Turley says a Harvard/Harris poll shows 55% of Americans believe Trump's indictment is politically motivated and 56% believe it constitutes election interference, which is "bad news" for Attorney General Merrick Garland and the Justice Department. Turley also said the poll is "bad news" for Biden, since some 65% believe Biden "mishandled" classified material. Turley suggests Biden consider a pledge to commute any sentence in advance. The poor perception of the indictment "also means that this case could conceivably never see a jury unless Special Counsel Jack Smith succeeds in pushing for a speedy trial before the election."
Liberty Nation: WSJ Gives Soros the Sunny Treatment
The Wall Street Journal doesn't receive any criticism for their interview of Alexander Soros, even though Soros is rarely described as a philanthropist without an agenda. The journalist who wrote the story, Gregory Zuckerman, seems sympathetic to Alex, as evidenced by his past tweets in which he heralds the COVID mRNA vaccines as "modern science’s greatest achievement.” Zuckerman glosses over tight connections between Soros and elected officials as mere political activism and fails to report Soros's extraordinary influence over these officials. He also neglects to mention Soros's efforts to purchase DAs and to legalize prostitution.

The New American: BlackRock Seeks to Launch Bitcoin ETF - The New American
BlackRock has applied to launch an exchange-traded fund (ETF) investing directly in bitcoin, which it is calling the iShares Bitcoin Trust. The filing states that the ETF will be a simple means of investing in bitcoin rather than through other peer-to-peer methods. Other players, including Grayscale, are also bidding to launch cryptocurrency-backed ETFs, which the SEC currently resists authorising. BlackRock’s ascendency into the cryptocurrency sector will likely trigger more entries into this novel asset class, further cementing its comprehensive ascendancy over global finance.
National Review: The Corner: Commercial Real Estate: The Retreat from San Francisco Continues
San Francisco's population has dropped more than California as a whole, with a decline of over 7% between July 2020 and July 2022, according to US census data. Factors such as Covid restrictions, high taxes, and crime are turning away residents and businesses. Lenders fear defaults on billions of dollars of debt related to distressed hotels, shopping centers, and offices. The situation could result in a snowball effect, reducing foot traffic further and prompting even greater defaults. San Francisco also faces a projected budget deficit of $780m over the next two years, leading to concerns about a "doom loop" that could be challenging to reverse.

Fox News: McCarthy vows to restrict DHS funding to fight Chilean criminal gangs plaguing the US
House Speaker Kevin McCarthy is threatening to withhold funding from the Visa Waiver Program for Chile due to the increased presence of organized crime from Chilean gangs that are "raiding" U.S. homes. McCarthy said that program has allowed for soaring levels of "burglary tourism" where thousands of dollars worth of stolen items are laundered through China, and the profits of these raids end back up in South America. Chile is the only country among 40 that participate in the program that does not allow for criminal background checks for people traveling to the U.S.
McCarthy called on Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas to suspend the Visa Waiver Program for Chile. The issue of Chilean burglary tourism has sparked bipartisan anger, particularly among California’s congressional delegation, with lawmakers sending a letter to the Chilean Ambassador claiming businesses had lost as much as $1.2 million due to the abuses of the Visa Waiver Program. McCarthy thanked Orange County District Attorney Todd Spitzer for briefing lawmakers on the matter and accused Mayorkas of ignoring the problem.

Forbes: Federico Chiesa Faces A Critical 12 Months To Fulfil His Potential
Federico Chiesa scored his first goal for Italy in almost two years, securing a win in the UEFA Nations League third-place playoff against The Netherlands. However, Chiesa's form has been inconsistent since his ACL injury in January 2022, and he has been used sparingly by Juventus, with rumours circulating that he and fellow player Dusan Vlahovic are unhappy with manager Max Allegri's tactics. Chiesa's contract expires in 2025, and he reportedly wants a wage increase to become the club's highest-paid earner, but Juventus may need to cut costs after posting significant losses in 2021-22, making it possible that he could be sold in the next transfer window.
