The American Mind: Scammer in Chief
With alleged evidence of Joe Biden's involvement in an international fraud scheme, and his family's illegal transactions, the lack of indictment for Hunter and James Biden raises questions about the selective enforcement of the DOJ. Biden's involvement in the suspicious activities of his son's business activities highlights his guilt in at least three areas, including knowledge, endorsement, and evidence of using his position as vice president to create value for Burisma and its owner. Even if there is no evidence of receiving bribes directly, the accusations show that the President of the United States is part of a conspiracy and a criminal organization.
National Review: The Corner: Public-Sector Union Membership Down 10 Percent Since Janus
The Janus v. AFSCME Supreme Court decision allows public-sector workers to choose whether or not to pay union dues. Maxford Nelson of the Freedom Foundation found that 733,745 workers left the four largest public-sector unions since the decision, declining by 10%. Unions are still earning hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue, but they are feeling the squeeze on budgets. Unions must now persuade people to join voluntarily, rather than using special privileges to take money from paychecks without consent, and public-sector unions must engage in political speech voluntarily as protected by the First Amendment.

The Epoch Times: Google Hit With Lawsuit Over Monopoly Allegations
USA Today’s publisher, Gannett, has filed a lawsuit in a New York court against Google’s parent company Alphabet for its unfair monopolistic practices in internet advertising technology. Gannett claims that Google’s controls on publishers selling their ad slots has not only damaged the company’s business, but also deprived consumers of news from a range of unbiased viewpoints. Google’s ad server, DoubleClick for Publishers, owns over 90% of the publisher-ad-server market and controls more than 60% of the ad exchange market. Since its acquisition, Gannett alleges Google has carried out a sophisticated, anticompetitive, and deceptive scheme for over a decade, resulting in Google making around $30bn in 2022 alone.
Despite the decline of around 70% in digital ad revenue since 2009, the digital advertising market is worth $200bn p.a.; as a result, newspaper employment has decreased by 50% since 2009. Gannett claims that over 20% of America’s newspapers have closed due to Google's monopolistic control over ad-serving, which places such businesses at an unfair commercial disadvantage. Meanwhile, Google contests these claims, asserting that publishers have numerous, competitive ad services available to them, including the 95% ad revenue retention mandated by their platform. The lawsuit is one of many such launched against Google in recent years, with Google steadfast in denying any breach of anti-trust laws.

The Epoch Times: School District in Utah Faces Backlash After Banning the Bible: Part II

The new DC strategy is to blur the line between good and evil and to become more nuanced in storytelling.

The American Spectator: ‘No Egg? No Sperm? No Problem,’ Promises IVG

The prospects of the technology have led to concern that a search for the "perfect" baby, or even generation, could become a reality. However, concerns also include the viability of stem cells in relation to a baby's development and the fact that private venture capitalists are already funding IVG start-ups.

Fox News: Missing sub's rescue unlikely in frightening human drama, say experts: 'The math is not great'
The OceanGate, a submersible carrying five people to see the Titanic's wreckage, is missing at a depth of 12,500 feet. Rescuers believe it has little chance of being found. The lack of communication and time limit also make the situation seem dire. The Navy has sent help in hopes of finding the sub, but experts believe unmanned drones are the only practical method of finding the OceanGate since no manned subs capable of diving to this depth exist.
Industry insiders say the sub's lack of communication and the dwindling opportunity window make the rescue of the OceanGate for its five passengers highly unlikely. The OceanGate is far too deep for any traditional submarine to travel, so drones offer the only realistic chance to save them. It’s not clear whether these passengers are in good enough health to signal for help, and the sounds they make from inside would be hard to hear since they don’t travel straight in water. The Pentagon has confirmed assistance in search operations, stating that only air assets, including three C-130s to fly overhead, are currently being deployed.
The Epoch Times: Rescuers Race Against Time to Find the Missing Sub in the Atlantic Bound for the Titanic Site
Rescuers search for a missing submersible, the Titan, carrying five people on a mission to document the wreckage of the Titanic, which has been reported overdue. The Titan has a 96-hour oxygen supply and a remotely operated vehicle is being prepared to help with the search. While the Canadian research icebreaker Polar Prince, the U.S. Coast Guard, and other vessels and aircrafts have been deployed in search of the submersible, experts suggest that if the submersible is beyond the continental shelf, options are very limited for rescue. It is the third annual Titanic expedition by OceanGate Expeditions that aims to chronicle the deterioration of the famed shipwreck.
Flag And Cross: CBS Journalist Had Harrowing Experience Inside Missing Titanic Submersible Just Last Year

The final dive was successful, but communications broke down, leaving the sub lost for two-and-a-half hours. Coast Guard officials say the crew of the missing sub has about 40 hours of oxygen left.

National Review: The Corner: The Flash’s Frustrating Reminder of Human Imperfection
I liked The Flash more than my colleague Jonathan Nicastro. Although he criticized the CGI effects and the character of Barry Allen, played by Ezra Miller, I appreciated the cartoonish nature of the CGI and found Allen's talkative nature to be a realistic portrayal of an anxious and courageous young man with flaws. Nicastro's main issue was with the plot, which involves Allen travelling back in time to save his mother and ultimately learning the value of not changing the past. However, he then makes a minor manipulation to save his father, causing a new timeline. I disagree with Nicastro, as I think Allen was aware of the consequences of his actions and made a flawed compromise in order to make his story just a little less tragic without destroying the universe.
