Chicago Mayor Eyes $25 Million Plan To Cover Rent for Illegal Immigrants
Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson is considering implementing a program that would provide $25 million to subsidize rent costs for over 6,500 illegal immigrants. The plan comes as Johnson's far-left supporters urge him to reduce funding for other areas, such as policing, despite a summer surge in Chicago shootings. Johnson has also been criticized for his support of a "transaction tax" and the defunding of the police.

CNN Poll: Most Republicans Believe GOP Has Best Chance to Win in 2024 if Trump Is Nominee
Most Republicans believe that the GOP has a better chance of winning the presidency in 2024 if Donald Trump is the party's nominee, according to a recent CNN survey. The survey found that 51% of respondents believe that the GOP has a better chance with Trump at the helm, reflecting a two-point uptick from the 49% who said so in March. However, 49% said they believe the GOP would have a better chance with someone else. The survey also found Trump leading the GOP field by 21 points, with Republicans and Republican-leaners viewing it as likely that Trump will win the nomination.

The Corner: Is Trump’s Self-Defense a ‘Home Run’? I’m Not So Sure
Trump's on-camera confession about allegations of obstruction could mean he wants to assume control of the Justice Department to direct it towards his preferred ends. However, he didn't help himself politically, claiming he is the rightful president now, instead of allaying Republican voters’ concerns that he can win the White House again. His focus on perceived slights may cause doubt in his ability to deliver, and CBS News survey found that 96% of surveyed Republican primary voters would prefer to hear about Trump’s plans for the country, while only 4% want to hear about the investigations against him.


Forbes: Hunter Biden Failed To Pay Taxes—Here’s Why He’s Likely Not Going To Jail
Hunter Biden Failed To Pay Taxes—Here’s Why He’s Likely Not Going To Jail
Hunter Biden, the son of President Joe Biden, has been charged with tax and gun charges, and is expected to plead guilty to two misdemeanor tax charges as part of a plea deal. Biden has agreed to plead guilty to two charges of failure to pay under section 7203 of the Tax Code for the 2017 and 2018 tax years, totaling around $3 million in combined income. He is not facing jail time, but the charges focus on failure to pay taxes rather than failure to file tax returns. Biden is also facing a gun charge, being treated as a diversion case due to his substance abuse issues, for buying a Colt Cobra 38SPL revolver while using drugs in 2018. The gun was later found allegedly thrown in the trash by Joe Biden's daughter-in-law.

Rep. Elise Stefanik accuses the younger Biden of receiving special treatment due to family ties after news of Hunter reaching a plea deal with federal prosecutors for tax evasion and possessing a firearm while addicted to drugs. Stefanik denounces Hunter's alleged "sweetheart deal" and the House Oversight Committee continues the congressional probe into the Biden family's possible corruption and influence peddling. The weaponization committee is also investigating aspects of the Justice Department's work, including its probes into former President Trump and Joe Biden, which many Republicans criticize as election meddling.


The Federalist Papers: Comedian Rob Schneider Lets Garth Brooks Have It Over Bud Light Controversy: 'Just Shut Up'
Comedian Rob Schneider Lets Garth Brooks Have It Over Bud Light Controversy: 'Just Shut Up'
Context: Actor Rob Schneider criticizes country singer Garth Brooks for attacking those boycotting beer brand Bud Light.

Outspoken comedian and actor Rob Schneider has spoken out against country star Garth Brooks' public support for “inclusion” and Bud Light, claiming he is just virtue signaling. Brooks recently claimed he'd serve Bud Light despite the boycott that has sent Bud Light tumbling out of its former status as the top-selling beer in America. Schneider said that he believes Brooks should have said he has "nothing to do with" the decision to serve the beer brand. The discussion was about Brooks' self-serving proclamations a month after the boycott against Bud Light even began.


The Federalist: Hunter Biden's Plea Deal Is A Coverup Disguised As Justice
Hunter Biden's Plea Deal Is A Coverup Disguised As Justice
Hunter Biden has pleaded guilty to two tax offenses and admitted to lying on a gun application and possessing an illegal firearm. However, these are seen as minor charges compared to the serious bribery allegations the Department of Justice should have pursued. Both Hunter and his father were accused of working to shut down an investigation into a Ukrainian oligarch's oil company by getting the prosecutor fired, while Hunter is accused of taking bribes for himself, his uncle, and his father to the tune of millions of dollars. Despite this, some Democrats dismiss these allegations as old news and believe they should let the FBI investigate presidential corruption. Meanwhile, the investigations of Hunter Biden have been plagued with delays and irregular investigative activity, leading some to be skeptical of any significant justice being served.

CNN's Presidential Fact Checker Hasn't Fact-Checked Biden in Months
CNN fact-checker Daniel Dale stopped fact-checking President Biden and is primarily fact-checking Republicans, including former President Trump who is running for president again. Despite the lack of fact-checking of President Biden, Dale's Twitter bio still advertises his focus on fact-checking the president. Meanwhile, President Biden has continued to make questionable statements, leading media outlets such as the Washington Post and New York Times to fact-check him. Dale did not respond to questions about why he is no longer fact-checking President Biden.


Fox News: Taliban carries out second public execution in Afghanistan since seizing power
Taliban carries out second public execution in Afghanistan since seizing power
Afghanistan's Taliban leaders have reportedly conducted the second known public execution since taking power in 2021. The court sentenced to death a man who was found guilty of murdering five people in two separate incidents last year. The execution was carried out outside a mosque in eastern Laghman province according to Islamic law.

The latest public execution is likely to draw criticism from the international community. It comes just a month after the United Nations strongly criticized the Taliban for carrying out public executions, lashings and stonings since seizing power, and called on the country’s rulers to halt such practices. During the previous Taliban rule of the country in the late 1990s, the group regularly carried out public executions, floggings and stonings of people convicted of crimes in Taliban courts.

First lady Jill Biden also defends her stepson's innocence and says that she knows he is innocent. No admission of error was made by the Bidens after the charges were announced.

Foreign Policy: Imran Khan—and His Supporters—Face Threat of Military Trials
Imran Khan—and His Supporters—Face Threat of Military Trials
Former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan was arrested in May on corruption charges, angering his supporters who then set about attacking government and military buildings. PTI, Khan's political party, has since lost significant support and the opposition leader is increasingly likely to face a military trial. Khan's accusations against the military establishment have led the government to authorise the use of military tribunals, and although anti-terrorism courts were originally set up to deal with extremism, they have "come to be seen as a widely used part of the criminal justice system" and are also being employed. The use of military courts has prompted concern from some lawyers who say it marks an erosion of human rights and due process, and that the complexity of such cases deters lawyers from defending clients in military courts.


Fox News: Vermont's Democratic supermajorities reconvene in hopes of overriding Gov. Scott's vetoes
Vermont's Democratic supermajorities reconvene in hopes of overriding Gov. Scott's vetoes
The Vermont Legislature returns on Tuesday to override Governor Phil Scott's vetoes of multiple bills, such as those concerning the state's budget and social programs for public schools. While Democratic legislators had passed bills expanding child care, fighting climate change, and subsidizing free school meals for all students, Scott believed the state was overspending and vetoed several efforts. Democratic leaders have vowed to overturn Scott's veto of a bill that expands child care subsidies and state-funded meals to students. During the governor's three years in office, legislators have never overridden a veto, but Democrats in the state believe this could change this week.


The Epoch Times: Kevin McCarthy Says Hunter Biden's Plea Deal Could Create Even More Legal Trouble
Kevin McCarthy Says Hunter Biden's Plea Deal Could Create Even More Legal Trouble
House Speaker Kevin McCarthy stated that the Department of Justice's deal with Hunter Biden may result in further legal issues for President Joe Biden's son. McCarthy dismissed the idea that the DOJ investigation is linked to the inquiry into Hunter Biden's foreign deals, which Republicans claim involved bribery and influence-peddling. Republicans criticised the plea deal as a slap on the wrist and claimed that it indicated a two-tiered justice system in America. McCarthy alleged that the DOJ would use an "ongoing investigation" to deny Congress any information and details.


National Review: The Corner: Avoiding Biden v. Biden
The Corner: Avoiding Biden v. Biden
The Hunter Biden deal insulates President Biden from potential embarrassment by preventing his son's lawyers from challenging gun laws under the Second Amendment in an open court. Charges against Hunter Biden seem calculated to protect the Biden family and do not implicate any larger foreign deals or mishandling of classified documents. The prosecution of the case ultimately rests with the president, making it Biden v. Biden, and it would have been excruciating for Joe Biden to have the case roiling in the background while advocating for stricter gun laws.

The gender-critical parents’ guide to trans: 10 behaviors of
‘trans kids’ and how to cope
Parenting a gender-questioning child today is a difficult task due to the information gap. Children have easy access to the world of transgender ideology via big tech, while parents are less informed and tech-literate. This can result in parents being outgunned and questioning if they are transphobic for not agreeing with their child's self-diagnosis. Parents must guide their children through adolescence and help them form a healthy and coherent self-image.

Saskatchewan Teaching Assistant Fired for Online Post About Walkout Over Pride Month in Schools
Leah Maier has been terminated from her role as an educational assistant in Saskatchewan for sharing an article on a private Facebook group that encouraged parents to keep their children home from school in protest of Pride Month in schools. The Good Spirit School Division (GSSD) deemed the post to be in violation of its social media policy and discriminatory. Maier, who was fired on June 12, is filing a grievance with the Canadian Union of Public Employees. The firing has led to a debate about critical race theory and gender politics in schools.

The firing of educational assistant Leah Maier from her job in Saskatchewan for sharing an article on a private Facebook group has led to a debate about critical race theory and gender politics in schools. Maier, who worked for five years at an elementary school in Esterhazy, was deemed to have violated the Good Spirit School Division (GSSD) social media policy and been discriminatory. Maier, who has two children in GSSD schools, is filing a grievance with her union. Some argue that the firing represents the marginalization of educators who do not agree with critical race theory and gender politics being promoted in schools, while others argue that schools should be non-political.

The transitional government has previously expelled foreign press and U.N. officials, restricted peacekeeping operations, and strengthened ties with the Wagner mercenary group.

SCOTUS declines Christian college's appeal to fight Biden admin's transgender housing directive in advance
The Supreme Court has declined to hear the College of the Ozarks' appeal against the Biden administration, which the college says requires it to house students based on gender identity instead of biological sex. The Christian college argues that the policy goes against its beliefs, as it assigns its dorms, roommates, and intimate spaces by sex, not gender identity. Although the court chose not to review the case, the college hopes that the court will soon take up other cases challenging the Biden administration's overreach. If the administration were to take an enforcement action against the school, it is possible that the college could file a new case.

Titanic fascination: Why the world remains enthralled by tale of doomed passenger liner
The enduring fascination with the tale of the Titanic continues as the world follows the mission to locate the missing submersible that took a small group of people far below the water's surface to see the wreck of the Titanic. The luxurious steamship hit an iceberg on its maiden voyage and over 1,500 passengers and crew lost their lives. The public is captivated by both the ship's story of technology and adventure, as well as the records of the survivors.

Today, the site of the Titanic's wreck lies in quiet and peaceful seclusion in a fitting resting place for the remains of the ship that witnessed the loss of so many lives. Huge public interest in the ship has been fuelled in recent years by James Cameron's 1997 film, books, DVDs, and an array of other media. The Titanic also gave its name to restaurants, ice cubes, academic conferences, computer games, plumbers’ businesses … harbor cruises, calendars and costume shops. The Titanic's fall represented both technological hubris and the vulnerability of humans to nature for people around the world.

Controversial influencer Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan, along with two associates, have been indicted in Romania on charges including rape, human trafficking, and forming an organized crime group to exploit women. The defendants deny all allegations. The trial may extend over several years, and there are ongoing investigations into separate charges such as money laundering and the trafficking of minors, which could result in a separate indictment.

According to the indictment, the defendants established an organized criminal group to commit human trafficking in Romania and other countries such as the US and the UK. The Tate brothers and their associates are accused of recruiting seven alleged victims through false pretenses of romantic relationships and marriage, and coercing them to participate in pornography that was subsequently shared on social media. The legal team representing the Tate brothers aims to establish the truth and ensure a fair and impartial legal approach by presenting evidence relevant to the case.

Foreign Policy: OpenAI’s CEO Goes on a Diplomatic Charm Offensive
OpenAI’s CEO Goes on a Diplomatic Charm Offensive
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman is on a global tour, meeting with world leaders and heads of government to discuss AI regulation and safety. Altman has criticized the EU's AI Act, warning that OpenAI may have to leave the bloc's borders, but has praised global cooperation. Altman has called for licensing and registration for AI models above a certain capability threshold, but critics are concerned that it would only empower larger companies and create data cartels. The EU's slow-walk approach to regulation is concerning because it ignores AI's current effects on society, such as spreading misinformation and exacerbating inequality. Policymakers' interest in shaping AI regulation may lead to regulatory blind spots.
