National Review: FBI Crossfire Hurricane Investigators Had Clear ‘Personal Bias,’ Ignored ‘Red Flags,’ Durham Testifies
Special Counsel John Durham defended his investigation into the FBI's Crossfire Hurricane probe into alleged collusion between Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign and Russia in front of the House Judiciary committee on Wednesday.

Durham also claimed that post-investigation, several FBI employees had apologized for the agency's conduct.

The Epoch Times: A Black Plan for Mike Pence
Mike Pence needs to make major breakthroughs to become a viable candidate for the 2024 election. The Pence Black Plan aims to reach out to black voters with a conservative message of family and freedom. While black Americans have high church attendance, they tend to vote overwhelmingly for Democrats, making it increasingly difficult for Republicans to win elections as the percentage of non-white voters increases. Pence's support of pro-biblical values, limited government, and reforming Social Security for younger workers could benefit low-income black Americans and close the racial wealth gap. Pence should use his evangelical credentials to reach out to black pastors and make a game-changing effort for his campaign and the country's future.
Newsbusters: Scarborough: The REAL 'Witch Hunt' Is Against Joe and Hunter Biden!
Joe Scarborough misrepresents the facts about the accusations against Hunter and Joe Biden, wrongly claiming that Republicans are engaging in a "witch hunt" against them. Scarborough twists Senator Chuck Grassley's comments on Fox News, suggesting that Grassley said there's no evidence of wrongdoing by Hunter Biden but that Republicans will go after him regardless, when in fact, Grassley simply said that the document he was demanding from the FBI does contain accusations, but he would not prejudge it. Scarborough also misrepresents a Wall Street Journal editorial that indicates there is a ton of evidence pointing to illicit influence peddling by the Bidens. The conclusion was that there's "plenty of suspicious smoke worth investigating." Scarborough's claim that the real "witch hunt" is against Hunter and Joe Biden was sponsored in part by Constant Contact, Booking.com, Allstate, and Golden Corral.
Daily Wire: John Durham Says FBI Agents Apologized To Him For Trump Probe
Special Counsel John Durham testified before the House Judiciary Committee, stating that FBI agents apologized to him for the way they conducted the Crossfire Hurricane investigation into alleged ties between Donald Trump's campaign and Russia. Durham's report criticized the FBI for confirmation bias and failure to follow protocols. He believes the majority of FBI personnel are "decent human beings" who follow the law, but concerns remain about investigative activities during the Russia probe. Durham secured one guilty plea in his investigation, that of former FBI lawyer Kevin Clinesmith. The FBI responded to the report, stating it has implemented corrective actions and must continue to work with rigor, objectivity, and professionalism. Durham stressed that accountability is necessary to address the problems identified in the report.

American Thinker: A computer analysis shows where Republican politicians’ real loyalties lie
Analysis of voting patterns of Republicans in North Dakota legislature reveals that many vote with Democrats, effectively making Democrats the political majority. This is a nationwide issue and helps to explain why Trump faced opposition not just from Democrats, but from within his own party as well. The Republican Party is not truly conservative, instead it introduces leftism at a slower pace and lower cost. Conservatives must figure out how to break through the wall of the Republican party to preserve core American values.

Breitbart: Donald Trump Vows to Slash Inflation, Deficit by Reviving Impoundment
Former President Donald Trump plans to use his presidential power known as impoundment to cut the deficit and inflation. Impoundment is a limited presidential power which allows the president to block congressionally-appropriated funds. Trump has pledged to challenge the Impoundment Control Act in court and get Congress to overturn it, aiming to squeeze savings from the federal bureaucracy for taxpayers. Democrats accused Trump previously of violating the Impoundment Control Act when he froze aid to Ukraine without notification. Impoundment is seen as "anti-inflation, anti-Swamp, anti-globalist" and pro-growth, pro-taxpayer and pro-American.

The Epoch Times: California’s Stable Affordable Housing Act One Step Closer to Becoming Law
Democratic lawmakers in California are showing support for the Stable Affordable Housing Act of 2023, which proposes a 10-year goal of creating 1.2 million units of social housing through a combination of acquisition and new development, with half of the units created within five years. The California Social Housing Fund would be established to accomplish its targets and would require the Department of Housing and Community Development to develop, adopt, and submit a plan to the Legislature by January 1, 2025. Supporters of the bill include over a dozen non-profits focused on homelessness and affordable housing, while Republican lawmakers oppose it, as they claimed the State would compete with its own citizens who are looking for an affordable place to live. (society)
The California legislature is considering the Stable Affordable Housing Act of 2023 after it passed through the state senate. In a response to homelessness and the lack of affordable housing, this act proposes to build 1.2 million units of social housing in the state within the next 10 years. Supporters of the legislation suggest that below-market rents that are affordable for all income levels will be offered, while opponents argue that this bill would require the state to purchase thousands of existing homes and reduce the already strained housing supply, driving up prices even more. Critics argued that the real issue lies in a lack of supply and new development, with not enough focus on the latter in this proposal to solve the problem. (society)

The Communitarian ethic is not at odds with classical liberalism.

The Epoch Times: Republicans Must Be the Party of Small Business
Republican Party risks losing the support of corporate America as big businesses increasingly align themselves with liberal Democrats. U.S. Chamber of Commerce has even backed many Democrats running for Congress, which is putting the GOP slim majority in jeopardy. The GOP needs to turn to the 80 million small-business men and women who employ over 60 percent of our workers to avoid being abandoned by the corporate world. This would be the right alternative for the GOP as it should take a stand against runaway government spending, antitrust laws, corporate welfare programs, and the self-serving Wall Street doctrine of “too big to fail.” The GOP should be the party of small businesses, which are often left alone and work under large regulatory pressures. Corporate America's alliance with big government is worrisome and is a form of what used to be called “fascism.”

He recounted the experience of being in a small pressure sphere, descending for 2.5 hours into the ocean’s depths and seeing the Titanic’s wreckage for the first time. Zaller described the control vessel carrying two submersibles descending 5000 metres into the pitch-black ocean as "an incredibly powerful experience" and said the wreck site was "a majestic ship when she left port, but when the Titanic broke… she sits upright, proud - like the day she sailed."

Fox News: Riley Gaines dismisses Lia Thomas' feminist remarks as 'a male mansplaining what it is to be feminist'
Swimmer Riley Gaines criticized Lia Thomas' statement about using "the guise of feminism" to promote "transphobic beliefs" during a Senate hearing. Thomas made the remarks in April on Schuyler Bailar's podcast "Dear Schuyler." Gaines responded that feminism means respecting women's uniqueness, not supporting trans people who compete against women. Thomas had claimed her University of Pennsylvania teammates were "half" supportive of her competing against women, as they respected her identity, but didn't think it was fair. Gaines spoke at the "Protecting Pride: Defending the Civil Rights of LGBTQ+ Americans" hearing.

Daily Wire: Thrill-Seeker Reveals Why He Backed Out Of Missing Titanic Sub Voyage
Digital marketing magnate Chris Brown backed out of joining his fellow adventurers on the missing OceanGate's Titan submarine due to concerns over the company cutting corners in its design. Brown had initially paid a $10,000 deposit to join the expedition, but he cancelled once he realised how the submersible was put together, saying he feared "the risks were too high." Brown still hopes for the passengers of the sub, as the search becomes more desperate by the hour with limited oxygen supply. The US Coast Guard estimates that the sub has less than 40 hours of oxygen left.
Fox News: Former OceanGate passenger says everyone on Titanic mission was informed how ‘dangerous’ it was

Fred Hagen, a former passenger on the sub, says that the danger of the mission and the lack of a backup system was well-understood and that safety protocols had been put in place. The cause of the disappearance is unknown, but crews are searching for the missing sub and its occupants in hopes of a successful rescue.
Field & Stream: What Do Catfish Eat?
Catfish are omnivorous and will eat just about anything they can fit in their mouths, including aquatic insects, crayfish, minnows, sunfish, crappies, perch, salamanders, frogs, mice, and even baby ducks and aquatic vegetation. To catch catfish, remember that matching the hatch isn’t only for trout and you should be willing to think outside the box when it comes to bait. Best baits for bullhead catfish are red worms or nightcrawlers fished on the bottom with light tackle, while channel catfish respond well to night crawlers, crayfish, chicken livers, hot dog chunks, or non-marketable “cull” shrimp, and blue catfish prefer fresh shad, either whole or cut. Flathead catfish are apex predators and prefer live food over dead, such as a live green sunfish or small bullhead catfish.

As experts warn the air supply will last less than two days, officials are exploring all options to bring the crew back safely.

Forbes: Author Post: How Green Is Your Data Center? Optimize Code To Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Data centers consume nearly 3% of the world's total electricity, with up to 45% of energy used related to cooling. Companies like Microsoft and Google are designing green data centers with 100% renewable energy and LEED-design standards. However, inefficient coding contributes to carbon emissions and larger data centers. Writing efficient algorithms and data structures, reducing redundancy, code profiling and optimization, cloud optimization, and green coding practices can reduce energy and resource footprints. A rating system for green-certified applications could help companies measure and optimize their green footprint. Optimizing software can enhance user experience, reduce costs, and decrease overall demand for data centers, reducing emissions.

American Thinker: St. Greta of Thunberg’s failed doomsday prediction
Five years ago, St. Greta of Thunberg, the leader of the "climate change" movement, predicted that the world would end on June 21, 2023. Throughout history, doomsday predictions have arisen for various reasons, but the climate change cult has been the most influential. The cult began in the 1960s and has made repeated failed predictions about the end of the world. However, the climate change cult is different because it demands change at the government level, insisting that citizens' money be given away and that policies be implemented to return societies to a pre-modern era of darkness, dirty water, famine, disease, and war.
