The Federalist: Did The FBI Bar Delaware From Probing Alleged Biden Bribery?
Sen. Chuck Grassley asked whether bribery was within the investigation into Hunter Biden, implying that the FBI's scope was too narrow to probe a confidential source's reporting. Grassley's questioning also revealed the initial answer that Americans need to assess if the DOJ and FBI sabotaged a criminal probe into the Biden family. It remains unclear if bribery was ever within the scope of the investigation being handled by U.S. Attorney David Weiss, and agents may have been too restricted to probe the allegations raised by the confidential source.
American Thinker: Rashida Tlaib is stirring up the eco-crazies -report
Rep. Rashida Tlaib encourages climate activists to be 'much more aggressive' in planned highway blockages and museum vandalism this August. She gave a pep talk to hardliners from Climate Defiance, Declare Emergency, and other environmental groups, making her one of the intellectual authors of whatever disruption these crazies have in store for us. Tlaib should be held accountable for this encouragement of illegal thuggery.
Tlaib is exposed for encouraging criminality and disruption through her support of eco-crazies planning a campaign of blocking highways and chaotic protests. She is one of the intellectual authors of these actions, and her actions should be held accountable. The House should yank all responsible committee assignments from her and hold her up to censure for this kind of encouragement of illegal activity. This report shows that Trump's accusers have been instigating all along.
National Review: The Corner: Der Kaiser and Other Greats
Abraham Jiménez Enoa, a Cuban writer in exile, grew up in a "revolutionary" family. He rebelled and is now a brave man.
Fewer people are interested in youth-sports officiating due to increasing aggressiveness. One untrained police sergeant umpired a Little League game in the late 80s and was thanked by both coaches and fans for being fair.
American Thinker: Soros and Garland: Because They Really Believe
George Soros hands over his fortune to son Alex to broaden his beliefs on voting, abortion rights, and gender equality. DOJ issues report stating Minneapolis police department practices racist policies and unlawful discrimination against blacks and Native Americans. Conservative view disagrees and believes the reports are laughable but understanding one's enemy is key. Liberals believe the human world follows the oppressor and oppressed ideology but conservatives disagree, with studies showing blacks are arrested in proportion to their offenses. The friend/enemy distinction is seen in liberal politics as fighting against systemic racism as the good, and fighting Trump as the enemy. Conservatives are called to battle liberals and understand themselves as Hobbits called to fight Saurons.
Fox News: First on Fox: Vulnerable Democrat targeted over border security, crime, in crucial 2024 Senate race
Ohio Senator Sherrod Brown is facing a new attack from Republican state lawmaker Matt Dolan, one of two major Republican candidates running to challenge Brown in the 2024 Senate election. In a statewide ad showcasing Dolan's border security stance, the narrator says "Liberal Sherrod Brown votes with Joe Biden 98% of the time. They’ve opened our borders, created the worst violent crime in decades, and allowed fentanyl to pour into Ohio communities." Dolan stated he would take necessary measures to stop the flow of human trafficking and fentanyl into the country if elected to the Senate.
Brown, who is running for re-election, is facing a tough fight from the Republicans, who see the state as a must-win in their efforts to take back the Senate. The winner of next year's GOP primary will challenge Brown. Dolan, a former Ohio assistant attorney general, is making his second straight bid for the Senate, having surged during the closing weeks of the previous Republican nomination race. Democrat Brown is being heavily targeted by Republicans in a state that was once a premiere battleground.

National Review: Local Government’s Death by DEI
Local governments and public institutions are facing increasing pressure to address extraneous priorities beyond their core competencies. Municipalities, for instance, looking to mitigate climate change, are being scrutinized as such initiatives drain funds and time from the local government's primary services. Public colleges have also been addressing the "basic student needs," displacing educational responsibilities, while transit agencies focus on areas outside their core function, such as heavily investing in diversity, equity, and inclusion. Misguided expansion of an agency's mission can ultimately lead to the elimination of a special-purpose government and places a large burden on taxpayers.
Flag And Cross: Papa Jokes: UK Survey Reveals Top 20 Cheesiest Dad Jokes
A UK poll of 2,000 adults revealed the top 20 most cringeworthy dad jokes of all time. ‘This graveyard looks crowded – people must be dying to get in’ was voted the funniest, alongside other groan-inducing jokes like ‘I don’t think they’ll fit me’ when asked to put on a child’s shoes. Six in 10 respondents admitted to being amused by dad jokes – but 67 percent find them ‘cringeworthy’ at the same time. The research was commissioned ahead of Father’s Day by Papa Johns, which recently launched a super cheesy range of crispy cheese base pizzas.
The Epoch Times: The Supreme Court’s Chaotic Commerce Clause Decision
The Supreme Court's recent decision in Haaland v. Brackeen addressed the scope of the Constitution's Commerce Clause, specifically upholding the federal Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA) as a regulation of commerce with Indian tribes. However, the decision has been criticized as a mess due to stretched interpretations of the Commerce Clause and the prioritization of tribal politics over the best interests of homeless Indian children. The case has also highlighted the disorganization of Indian law, and the dissenting opinions of Justices Thomas and Alito suggest potential resistance to Congress's excessive Commerce Power and disregard for constitutional limits.

National Review: The Courage of a Cuban Writer
Abraham Jiménez Enoa, a journalist and writer from Cuba, faced tremendous pressure from the government due to his dissident activities. In late 2021, the dictatorship gave him an ultimatum: go to prison or leave the country immediately. Jiménez Enoa chose the latter and landed in Spain where he was amazed by the Western world. He realized that Cuba was a cruel and abnormal country, kidnapped by a political system that has kept the country in darkness for almost 65 years. The Cuban democracy movement, which is dominated by Afro-Cubans, fights against structural racism and a dictatorship that bids to outlive the Castros.

Mick Jagger is selling his Florida home for millions.
National Review: Joe Biden Loves Israel — and His Nuclear Deal with Iran Abandons It
President Biden is seeking a new deal with Iran, which would pay the country up to $20 billion to limit uranium enrichment to 60%, end attacks on American soldiers and release American hostages it has taken – without a curb on its ongoing ballistic missile development. The JCPOA deal (which Iran breached) saw Iran gain billions to slow down its nuclear program and foment chaos, so Israel feels abandoned by the US. The US will continue to allow Iran to export oil despite U.S. sanctions that forbid it. It reflects the Biden administration’s – and over many years, America’s – unwillingness to confront Iran over behavior that has for decades included killing Americans.

Forbes: Can ExxonMobil Lead A Second Shale Revolution?
ExxonMobil CEO, Darren Woods, recently challenged his staff to double their per-well recoveries in their US shale operations over the next five years, which could result in a second shale revolution. Woods aims to achieve this goal through deploying longer horizontal laterals in each wellbore, along with the deployment of tech that is better able to hold the fractures created by the hydraulic fracturing job for longer periods of time. The development of technologies that would result in a doubling of per-well recoveries would provide a major boost not only for ExxonMobil, but also for the other shale producers.
Although some issues surrounding water usage, recycling and conservation, emissions footprints and other ESG-related matters will need to be addressed, shale companies have been proactive at satisfying such issues. Per well recoveries in US shale have risen steadily over the course of the 15 years since the initial discovery of the Eagle Ford Shale in late 2008. Whether ExxonMobil will succeed in doubling them again in just five years remains to be seen, but the industry’s ability to meet new challenges should not be underestimated.
The Epoch Times: China's Smaller-Than-Expected Rate Cut Sends Stocks Lower
China's benchmark interest rates were reduced by 10 basis points, disappointing analysts who expected more. This follows speculative tension ahead of Friday's cabinet meeting that failed to outline any constructive measures to enhance the country's slow recovery. Citi, among other big banks, has lowered its growth forecast for China. During U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken's visit to Beijing, the focus of discussion was continuing cooperation in a bid to avoid ending up in conflict. In more positive economic news, Australian shares hit a two-month peak after minutes of the Reserve Bank of Australia's policy meeting revealed a "finely balanced" interest rate hike in June.
The Epoch Times: UK Wealth Migration Report: Hong Kong Loses 1,000 Millionaires While China Bids Farewell to 1,3500 High Net Worth Individuals
The Private Wealth Migration Report 2023 from British company Henley & Partners predicts that China will experience the greatest loss of wealthy individuals in the world in 2023, with a total outflow of 13,500 people, while Hong Kong is expected to lose 1,000 millionaires. Meanwhile, the Big 5 countries that will see the most inflow of rich people in 2023 are Australia, the United Arab Emirates, Singapore, the United States, and Switzerland. The report predicts that the net flow of investment migrations will continue to rise yearly, but cautions that political stability, low taxes, and personal freedom are key factors that the rich will consider when moving their investments.
Misha Glenny, Dean at the Institut für die Wissenschaften vom Menschen (IWM), warns that the Chinese Communist Party's stiffened surveillance on local banks, internet companies, their senior executives, and non-Chinese business communities will cause China and Hong Kong to keep losing the rich at a rapid pace. The report predicts that China, India, the United Kingdom, Russia, and Brazil will have the most outflow of high-net-worth individuals in 2023, while the Big 5 countries will become the top five with the most inflow of rich people in 2023. The report indicates that an increase in the net outflow of millionaires mirrors a phenomenon where the rich lose confidence in a country or region, causing impacts on its economy.

Fox News: Jack Carr's take on Audie Murphy, born on this day in 1925: 'They were killing my friends'
Audie Murphy, the most decorated US soldier of World War II, was born on this day in 1925. He was wounded three times, fought in nine major campaigns and received every military combat award for valor available from the US Army, as well as French and Belgian awards for heroism. After the war, he wrote the bestselling book "To Hell and Back" and starred in 44 movies. He brought attention to what is now known as post-traumatic stress and focused his efforts on assisting Korean War and Vietnam War veterans. He died in a plane crash in 1971 and is buried in Section 46 of Arlington National Cemetery.

Fox News: Titanic survivor, in letter sold at auction, described near-miss moment that sealed doomed liner's fate
A letter from a lucky Titanic survivor describing a near-miss moment that could have saved the doomed liner from sinking was sold for over $19,000 at auction. Stanley May witnessed the near-collision between the Titanic and a smaller passenger liner as it left Southampton on its maiden voyage in 1912. The New York broke free from its mooring and drifted towards the Titanic, which was saved by tug boats. If the two ships had collided, the Titanic's departure would have been delayed, and it may never have hit the iceberg that caused it to sink.

His family believes he was abducted and murdered the same day he vanished from Cassville, Missouri. His mother remembered him saying that he didn't have long to live a year ago. The three agencies investigating his murder shared few details of their probe with the public or the family, leaving them in the dark.

Forbes: Matildas Hope Women’s World Cup Can Change The Game In Australia
Australia's national soccer team players hope to replicate the success of the Women's Super League in England after their team won the European Championship in front of their home supporters. Co-hosting the Women’s World Cup with New Zealand, the Australian team's success could transform women’s soccer in the country, according to players. Increases in media rights and female participation in the sport followed England's Euros win. Australia will compete against Nigeria, Ireland and Olympic champions Canada in Group B in the July 20 to August 20 World Cup. Winning on home soil could be a positive game changer for women's football in Australia, say the players.
