Red State: Moore to the Point - Dawson's Democracy
Actor James Van Der Beek criticized the DNC's decision to forgo presidential primary debates for the 2024 election. While primary Democratic challengers Williamson and RFK Jr. have been critical, it's interesting to note Hollywood actors, presumably from the left, speaking out on the issue. Not allowing for debate or a meaningful challenge means it's just a small group of (unelected) people making decisions for all.
Liberty Nation: The Feinstein Fade Out and How It Bolsters the Swamp
The situation of Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), who is incapable of performing her senatorial duties due to brain inflammation from a bout with shingles, highlights how politicians in the highest elected offices are little more than public facades for powers behind the scenes. Her staff constantly surround her and remind her how and when to vote, while she expresses confusion about how the Senate functions. Feinstein's illness also has implications for the succession in California, with Governor Gavin Newsom set to have a huge say in appointing a temporary replacement, and ultimately all three Democrats vying for her seat find themselves at his mercy.
The situation of Feinstein is not an isolated case, as Liberty Nation has previously reported how establishment politicians rely on underhanded tactics to maintain power when there are unmistakable signs of severe illness, as in the case of former senator Thad Cochran (R-MS). A "phalanx of aides" running the office is deemed essential by the ruling apparatus, suggesting that politicians themselves are irreplaceable and little more than public facades serving the interests behind the scenes. The bottom line is that the "machinery of insider establishment politics" sways the process of choosing a successor, which can have multi-decade consequences for the American people's right to choose their representatives.

The Federalist: Christians Are Right To Raise Red Flags About Rainbow Flags
Cast members of "The Chosen" defended the show's decision to feature a pride flag, causing controversy among Christian viewers who feel the show has abandoned Biblical principles. The original defense claimed the flag was included to "honor the authentic Jesus", but cast members have since doubled down on their support of the flag and the LGBT movement. Christians are concerned that the show, one of the few pillars in Christian media, has abandoned fundamental principles, and the recent controversy surrounding it is reminiscent of previous battles with corporations and retailers embracing the LGBT movement.

National Review: Padre Pio Makes Catholicism into Political Fashion
Abel Ferrara's Padre Pio fails to balance a biopic of Francesco Forgione with political allusions. The film tackles the issue of modern agnosticism by aligning Pio's mysticism with the struggles of modern agnostics. Surprisingly, Ferrara's exploitation/art films are real portrayals of modern spiritual uncertainties. However, Ferrara's attempt to blend proletarian and spiritual suffering fails to serve his usual mission and becomes deluded navel-gazing. Despite the film's two strong scenes, Ferrara's political sanctimony imputes partisan accusations and the movie's failure illustrates that his struggle and improvisation is distressingly fashionable.

The Epoch Times: The real ‘Sword In The Stone’ and the Tuscan knight that inspired the legend of King Arthur—but it’s not what you think
The legend of Saint Galgano tells of a noble knight who renounced his worldly possessions to become a hermit in Tuscany. He plunged his sword into the ground to signal peace, and after his death, the sword became enshrined as a holy relic in the Montesiepi Chapel built in his memory. Many have tried to steal the sword over the years, but it remains embedded in stone as a symbol of peace.
Despite doubts about the sword's authenticity, chemical analysis suggests it is from the 12th century. Attempts to steal the sword in modern times have led to increased security measures, including a clear plastic display case. The story of Saint Galgano's sword may have inspired the English legend of the Sword in the Stone, and the sword itself is a symbol of peace in a world of war.

Fox News: Rosalynn Carter diagnosed with dementia at 95: What to know about the condition in the ‘oldest old’
Former First Lady Rosalynn Carter, wife of Jimmy Carter, has been diagnosed with dementia at the age of 95, a condition more common among individuals aged 85 and over. Advances in age makes it more difficult to diagnose as the symptoms may overlap with normal ageing. Risk factors for dementia in the elderly involve a range of factors from social isolation and poor diet to chronic health issues like hypertension and high cholesterol. Isolation, along with depression and poor eating habits can also raise the risk of dementia.
The Epoch Times: Researchers Discover Toxic Sweetener Damages DNA
Sucralose, commonly found in the sugar substitute Splenda, has been found to break up DNA and cause genotoxicity, according to a new study published in the Journal of Toxicology and Environmental Health. Previous research has also linked sucralose to gut health issues, such as "leaky gut," and oxidative stress, inflammation, and carcinogenicity. The study's authors argue that the evidence shows that sucralose shouldn't have been approved by the FDA in 1998, and that more research should be done to investigate other potential health risks.

Fox News: Ohio Republican lawmakers push for revised school voucher program
Ohio lawmakers are expanding a voucher programme that could allow parents to use more taxpayer money to send their children to private or religious schools or to homeschool them. The legislature must hammer out the changes to the EdChoice Scholarship Program by the end of the month. Republicans have pushed for the expansion amid the cultural wars over gender and race and a wider movement for parental rights. However, opponents say the programmes divert funding from public schools and violate Ohio's constitution.
National Review: Progressive Wisconsin Watch’s Embarrassing Campaign against Vouchers and Christian Schools
Wisconsin Watch, a supposedly nonpartisan news outlet, is actually a progressive outlet that advocates for left-leaning policies. Their recent investigation into "anti-LGBTQ+" policies at Wisconsin private schools relied almost entirely on left-wing advocacy groups for sourcing. The piece argues that Christian schools should do what the government tells them to do, even if it goes against their beliefs, and Wisconsin Watch is using deceptive tactics to push their progressive agenda.

Fox News: How DNA identified Australian family man as escaped US fugitive who murdered his parents
New DNA evidence has revealed that Leslie Arnold, a Nebraska teenager who killed his parents in the 1950s, escaped prison and lived a new life in Australia under the alias John Damon. His family only learned of his dark past after his death. Arnold, known as a respectable child in his rural Midwestern town, killed his parents over a dispute regarding the use of the family car. He served just eight years in prison before escaping and carving out a new life overseas. His son submitted his DNA to a public database in 2022 and learned the staggering truth.

Fox News: NASA to send original work by US Poet Ada Limón to Jupiter's moon Europa

The Europa Clipper is set to launch in October 2024 carrying the poem, which will be engraved on the spacecraft. Limón said the work is difficult because of its official nature but is a personal poem about pointing toward the planets and inward toward Earth. Limón was recently reappointed for a second term as poet laureate.

National Review: The Left Is Incapable of Condemning Antisemitism
The Biden administration has released a National Strategy to Counter Antisemitism that struggles to define and condemn antisemitism without implicating other minority groups. Rather than acknowledging the overlap between antisemitism and anti-Zionism, the strategy sidesteps the issue by condemning all “other forms of hate,” including Islamophobia and white supremacy. It also endorses the Nexus Document, which condones antisemitism by allowing double standards to be applied to Israel. The DEI narrative is also fundamentally incompatible with Judaism itself, which espouses personal responsibility and an outlook of gratitude as opposed to a sense of perpetual victimhood.
The Epoch Times: Famous bear ‘Queen of the Tetons’ breaks record, emerges from hibernation at age 27 with a new cub
Grizzly 399, the oldest known wild grizzly bear, gave birth to a cub at the age of 27, breaking a record.

Grizzly 399 has been followed by wildlife tourists and photographers for years and is believed to have 22 descendants. She has become world-famous for her frequent appearances as she stays close to the road to protect her cubs from male bears who tend to avoid humans.
