Forbes: How To Stem The Flow Of Irregular Immigration On The Southern Border
Texas Governor Greg Abbott sent a busload of new migrant arrivals to Los Angeles, highlighting the ongoing challenge of what to do with migrants still coming daily. President Biden's efforts to address immigration challenges have not yielded enough results, despite proposals to widen the scope of immigrants who can legally enter the country and improve border security. One proposed solution is to set up pre-clearance facilities in Mexico near the American border, similar to the pre-clearance system used for new arrivals flying into the United States. This would channel all migrants currently arriving at irregular southern border points to the pre-clearance facilities and allow for triaging applicants to ensure those most deserving are dealt with first. However, there is no perfect solution to the southern border problem.

Flag And Cross: Fox News Presses Trump on Former Admin Members Who've Turned on Him, Trump Hits Back Hard: "10 to 1"
Former President Donald Trump responded to criticism from Fox News' Bret Baier regarding former administration officials running against him in the 2024 election by stating that he surrounded himself with "only the best and most serious people" while lambasting high-profile Beltway creatures. While Trump did openly fight with some of these figures, his administration still functioned with both successes and failures, particularly on the economy and in the judiciary. The turnover of top employees, including high-profile Beltway creatures, during his administration doesn’t judge an administration’s strength, but rather the peace abroad, fiscal discipline and economic prosperity, and success in executing the White House’s political agenda.
Fox News: 2024 candidate Francis Suarez' support for LGBTQ, transgender causes at odds with most GOP candidates
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has faced criticism from Republican presidential candidate Francis Suarez, current mayor of Miami, for banning any instruction of sexual orientation or gender identity by school employees or third parties to students up to third grade level. Suarez spoke of the need for sexual education and the ability for children to make good choices, but believed in avoiding indoctrination. The Miami Republican has a history of supporting LGBTQ+ issues, honoring transgender people, and passing ordinances in Miami for their rights, which is in contrast to other Republican contenders such as former president Trump, who holds similar views to DeSantis.
Spectator USA: On Fox, Trump admits: this terrible idea was his own
Trump's excuses for taking his time to go through his boxes, some of which contain documents related to the Mueller investigation, are not rooted in a desire to sell secrets to America's enemies, but rather his aversion to being told what to do. He is slowing the process down and engaging in illegal maneuvers. Trump will argue that there was never a document with the Iranian attack plan and that he was referring to material referencing the plan. He admits his guilt, but insists on going through the boxes himself, despite offers from his lawyers to handle it. Trump's energy has suffered and he looks ragged while his legal troubles continue to wear him down.

PJ Media: The AP Thinks That Conservatives 'Conjure up' Communist Enemies
The Associated Press has criticized Donald Trump and Republicans for comparing Democrats to communists, claiming that it is inaccurate and demonizing. The AP cites experts who argue that "red-baiting" is common in American political communications and that such rhetoric is potentially dangerous. However, the author argues that the Democrats' rush to the far left aligns them more closely with communist ideology than with anyone on the right, citing examples such as the BLM, Antifa, and domestic terrorists in Atlanta. The author also points out that Joe Biden and the Democrats have engaged in otherizing rhetoric against those who disagree with them, making it difficult to take the AP's criticisms seriously.
Fox News: Left-wing activists try to ban Trump Jr. from Australia ahead of speaking tour
Left-wing activists in Australia are attempting to stop Donald Trump Jr.'s upcoming speaking tour, launching a petition calling for him to be blocked from even entering the country. The petition has garnered over 17,000 supporters on Change.org, with the founder calling Trump Jr. an "illegal drug-taking bigoted person who should not be allowed to enter Australia for the purpose of earning himself and possibly his father any ‘Campaign Contributions’".

If Trump Jr. is not banned, the Campaign Against Racism and Fascism has planned to protest his appearance in Melbourne, with over 260 people indicating interest in attending.

The Epoch Times: Should You Financially Support Adult Kids?
Almost half of parents with children over 18 spend an average of $1,400 per month supporting their adult children, says a 2023 survey. Financial planning advisors warn that providing for adult children who can't support themselves doesn't always help them and can have a detrimental impact on parents' finances.

Parents may feel obligated, either due to disabilities or from guilt of not preparing their kids for financial independence. It’s critical to communicate financial boundaries with children to set expectations and encourage independence.

American Thinker: Pentagon admits it has no idea where U.S. weapons to Ukraine are actually going
Sen. Rand Paul called for an independent inspector to account for the $40B of weapons shipments sent to Ukraine, but was dubbed an obstructionist. Recently, Pentagon employees in Poland were found to have failed to properly track weapons sent to Ukraine, with a report highlighting accounting and accountability issues that could capture these weapons going north and south.

Fox News: China 'emboldened' by Blinken's 'misguided' trip where he 'threw Taiwan under the bus': Experts
Two foreign policy experts criticized Secretary of State Antony Blinken's trip to China, saying the US handed China a diplomatic win and showed weakness in regards to Taiwan. Former U.S. Defense Intelligence Officer Rebekah Koffler believed that Blinken's statement about not supporting Taiwan independence was an invitation to Beijing to execute its ambition of controlling Taiwan. She added that Blinken's comment removed the 'strategic ambiguity' component on which U.S. policy has relied for decades. Retired Army Colonel Heino Klinck stated that Blinken would not have made the trip 'unless there was a deliverable' and it was telling that Blinken's reiteration of longstanding U.S. policy did not come with any public concession from China.
Fox News: Rwandan genocide suspect seeks political asylum in South Africa after arrest, further delaying extradition
Rwandan genocide suspect, Fulgence Kayishema, is seeking political asylum in South Africa after being apprehended for the mass killings he was involved in during the 1994 genocide. He is accused of orchestrating the brutal killings of 2,000 people in a church. Kayishema faces genocide and crimes against humanity charges, but his asylum request may delay extradition. He is one of four remaining fugitives sought by the United Nations' International Residual Mechanism for Criminal Tribunals for genocide and crimes against humanity.
Recently apprehended Fulgence Kayishema, accused of genocide, will apply for political asylum in South Africa, where he was arrested. The U.N. tribunal wants him extradited to Tanzania and then to Rwanda for trial, but this may be delayed because of his asylum claim. Kayishema hid in at least three African countries before arriving in South Africa, escaping because of fear for his life. While he faces 54 charges of fraud and immigration offenses, parts of his case must be put on hold while his application for asylum is considered. His case has already taken longer than it should have because of South African authorities' failure to act on the arrest warrant years ago.

The Epoch Times: Why Do Some Societies Prosper While Others Fail?
The success of a society is not based on geography or natural resources, but on its political economy. Property rights, low taxes, and individual freedoms lead to prosperity, as seen in South Korea compared to North Korea. Time preferences, or the ability to delay gratification, also play a role in individual success and may impact a society's economic development. Countries with low time preferences tend to accumulate capital and knowledge over generations, while higher time preferences can lead to crime and spending rather than saving. It is important to consider these factors in public policy.

The Epoch Times: Stop-and-Search Powers Should Be Ramped Up, Says Home Secretary
UK Home Secretary Suella Braverman has called for police stop-and-search powers to be increased to tackle violent crime. She rejected claims that the tactic disproportionately impacted young black men, saying that they were most in need of protection. Black people are involved in around a third of under-25s killed by knives in the UK, despite accounting for just 3% of the population. Braverman intends to amend the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984 and has asked police chiefs to back the change. Support for the government’s proposal has been mixed, with Shadow Home Secretary Yvette Cooper arguing that it was “wholly inadequate” to deal with knife crime.

Flag And Cross: Rare 25-Year-Old Flowering Plants Bloom For The First Time Thanks To Heatwave
Rare plants, which take decades to flower, have bloomed for the first time due to last year's warm summer and a hot spell. Three furcraea longaeva grew over 16ft (5m) tall, showing flowers after ten years of planting them, with the possibility of 25 years for some cases. If they flower, however, they may die in the next two weeks. The plants will produce small 'bulbils' responsible for propagating future plants. The news was broken by gardener Sam Elliott, who planted the flowers a decade ago at the National Trust's Overbeck's Garden, near Salcombe, Devon.

This is the most reliable approach to catching stripers from sand beaches.
Field & Stream: 10 Gauge vs 12 Gauge: Do Waterfowlers Really Need 10 Gauges?
The ban on punt guns and giant shotguns in the early 20th century led to the 10-gauge becoming our largest legal hunting shotgun. However, the 12-gauge remains the most popular gauge by far, with the 3 ½-inch chambered 12-gauge throwing almost as much shot as a 10. While the 10-gauge was once in widespread use for hunting, it has since become a niche gun and is not as versatile as the 3½-inch 12-gauge. Hunters have overwhelmingly chosen the 3 ½-inch 12 as their go-to shotgun due to its lightweight and versatility.
