The Epoch Times: Congressional Bill Aims To Protect Journalists From Government Surveillance
The bipartisan coalition in the House and Senate has reintroduced the PRESS Act, which limits the government’s ability to compel reporters to disclose data that might reveal the identities or endanger their sources. The legislation will shield journalists from unnecessary government surveillance and extend disclosure exemptions and standards to protect emails, phone records, and other info from third parties. If passed, reporters will be protected from being compelled by the government and to protect their data held by third parties like phone and internet companies from being secretly seized without the opportunity to challenge those demands in court.
Fox News: Hunter Biden investigators limited questions about 'dad,' 'big guy' despite FBI, IRS objections: whistleblower
Two whistleblowers alleged that officials at the Justice Department, FBI and IRS interfered with an investigation into Hunter Biden, including trying to limit any potential questioning related to Joe Biden. Gary Shapley Jr., who was the supervisor of the investigation at the IRS, said that "at every stage" of the probe, decisions were made that "had the effect of benefiting the subject of the investigation." One issue raised was an email discussion of "remuneration packages" for six people in a business deal with a Chinese energy firm that appeared to identify Biden as "Chair / Vice Chair depending on agreement with CEFC," with a proposed equity split referencing "10 held by H for the big guy?" with no further details.
Breitbart: Hunter Biden Investigation Began as 'Offshoot' of Inquiry into Foreign Adult Platform
The IRS investigation into Hunter Biden began as a result of a probe into a foreign amateur pornography platform in 2018, according to testimony by Criminal Supervisory Special Agent Gary Shapley. The IRS had information that seemed to implicate President Joe Biden in Hunter Biden's business dealings with a Chinese firm, and Assistant U.S. Attorney Lesley Wolf suppressed questions regarding the matter. These claims raise doubts about Attorney General Merrick Garland's claim that Hunter Biden's investigation was not interfered with.
The New American: New Poll: Growing Majority of Americans Reject Gender Fluidity
A new poll shows that a growing number of Americans are rejecting the concept of gender fluidity. 61% of Americans believe that defining gender as the sex listed on a person’s original birth certificate is the only way to define male and female in society. This number is up 10% from May 2022.
The backlash against the LGBT agenda has gained a foothold even among the nation’s youth. People are now constantly bombarded with LGBT propaganda on every communications medium they switch on. And worst of all, people are seeing the establishment force this degeneracy on children. Within just a few years, it has all come to a boiling point, and Americans are saying “enough is enough.”

Forbes: House Avoids Impeaching Biden, Rebuking Hard-Right Boebert In Latest Display Of GOP Divisions
A resolution seeking to impeach US President Joe Biden has been referred to committee, effectively postponing a vote. Representative Lauren Boebert of the Republican Party - who introduced the legislation - called for a debate on the matter, although many GOP members described the motion as frivolous and lacking grounds for impeachment. Boebert's resolution calls for Biden's impeachment over his border policies, which have been accused of allowing an influx of illegal migrants and fentanyl. The Republican Party has divisions over Boebert's effort, where right-wing Freedom Caucus members hold outsize power under the Republican's slim majority.
Daily Wire: House Sends Biden Impeachment Articles To Committees
House Republicans, led by Lauren Boebert, have voted to send articles of impeachment against President Joe Biden to the House Homeland Security and Judiciary Committees over his handling of the US-Mexico border. Some Republicans opposed it, but House Speaker Kevin McCarthy reached an agreement allowing matters to move forward. Democrats criticized the move as frivolous.
Breitbart: Whistleblower: DOJ Shut Down Questions About Email to Hunter Biden
The Justice Department prevented US Attorney David Weiss from asking about an email on Hunter Biden's laptop that discussed a business deal with CEFC China Energy Co., mentioning "Ten held by H for the big guy." The email was part of a 2017 chain between Hunter Biden and his former business partners. Assistant US Attorney Lesley Wolf refused to allow Weiss to question Hunter Biden's former business partner Rob Walker about the email, stating she did not want to ask questions about "dad." The "big guy" is allegedly a reference to Joe Biden and his ten percent cut of the CEFC deal. Several Biden family members have received payments from foreign business ventures in Romania, China, and a $3 million wire transfer from CEFC, with total payments equaling at least $10 million.
The New American: Hunter’s Plea Deal: Keeping Bigger Crimes Hidden - The New American
Executive senior editor Steve Bonta discusses Hunter Biden's guilty plea to tax and gun violations, which deflects attention from his pay-for-play dealings with foreign entities. Other members of the Biden crime family, including President Joe Biden, may be involved in these transgressions. Corrupt politicians have used this strategy in the past to keep their biggest crimes hidden from the public eye. The impeachment of President Bill Clinton for lying about sex in the 1990s was used to divert attention from the far more serious crime of Chinagate. Bonta warns that the Bidens' influence peddling could compromise U.S. security.
Newsbusters: "Watch the News!" Scream MSNBC Russia Hoaxers Defending Schiff
MSNBC's Joe Scarborough and Edward Luce defend Rep. Adam Schiff over his censure by the House GOP, resurrecting the debunked Russia Collusion narrative to do so. Scarborough claims Schiff told the truth all along, despite the Durham investigation and Mueller Report finding no collusion between Trump and Russia. Luce shamelessly asserts that Trump attempted Russian election interference, with no evidence to back it up. The leftist media's repeated cries of Russian collusion and defense of Schiff's lies call into question their credibility.

The Blaze: Bud Light promptly hammered after posting first tweet in more than 2 months
Bud Light resumes tweeting after a pause over the controversial appointment of transgender figure Dylan Mulvaney as its product ambassador. The first post since April fails to recover the trust damaged by people's negative response to the company. Bud Light is trying to launch its brand via its summer campaign, including a national summer music tour and social content with NFL famous friends, but its critics continue to boycott. Meanwhile, Liz Wheeler and other customers have criticized and angered Bud Light by claiming that the brand's use of Mulvaney is insulting, and they refuse to buy Bud Light's beer again.
Fox News: New Bud Light ad ridiculed up and down social media: ‘They’re trying so hard’
Anheuser-Busch's new Bud Light ad has been met with negative comments on Twitter, following backlash after partnering with trans activist Dylan Mulvaney. The summer-themed ad depicts Americans camping and grilling, all the while quenching their thirst with a Bud Light. The ad makes no reference to any political statements. The decision to make Mulvaney one of the beer company's spokespeople has resulted in billions of dollars in lost market value, as consumers continue to boycott the brand.

Foreign Policy: ‘Unprecedented’ Violence Roils the West Bank
Violence between Israeli forces, settlers, and Palestinian militants has escalated in the West Bank, with attacks becoming more militarized and deadlier. This past week saw at least 10 Palestinians and four Israelis killed, sparking concerns that the conflict is entering a new phase. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government is taking action to further stoke tensions, such as by approving the construction of West Bank settlements and establishing new Israeli housing units.
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and U.S. President Joe Biden have signed agreements that aim to strengthen the two countries' military and technology ties. Alongside the joint production of jet engines in India, the deals focus on broadening supply chains, combating China's global influence, and advancing artificial intelligence research. Meanwhile, former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro has begun his first trial for electoral charges filed against him. He faces having to defend himself against a total of 16 charges.

Forbes: Wind Farms Become A Middle Eastern Political Flashpoint
Violent demonstrations broke out in the Golan Heights as Druze protestors opposed Israeli renewable energy projects. The Israeli company, Enlight Renewable Energy, installed 39 General Electric wind turbines, each around 660 feet tall. Druze residents see the project as an infringement on their ancestral homelands and agrarian way of life. The project is expected to supply 207 megawatts of electrical energy, enough to fill the yearly consumption of 70,000 households. The Golan Heights is a politically sensitive area, as many Druze retain loyalties to countries such as Syria, which held the territory before the 1967 Six-Day War. The wind farm project risks causing civil unrest and violence and illustrates how energy policy is intertwined with political reality.
The Epoch Times: Meta Confirms Canadians Will Be Blocked From Accessing News on Social Media Due to Passage of Bill C-18
Tech giant Meta will no longer provide access to news from Canadian outlets on its platforms due to Bill C-18 becoming law. The bill requires companies including Google and Meta to negotiate and pay Canadian media outlets for the content they link to on their websites. Media outlets will have to follow a "code of ethics" to be eligible for negotiations with digital platforms. Heritage Minister Pablo Rodriguez said that Facebook knows “very well that they have no obligations under the act right now." Meta's global policy director, Kevin Chan, called the legislation “Robin Hood in reverse," stating it would subsidize big broadcasters, making it harder for smaller media outlets to survive.

Meanwhile, Ford’s electric vehicle unit called "Ford Model e" is said to be losing billions of dollars and is expected to lose even more this year. Sen.

The Epoch Times: Editor of New Book on Canadian History Hits Back at 'Cancelling' of Canada
Canadian history book "The 1867 Project" challenges the notion that Canada is a "genocidal" nation-state deserving of historical figure cancellation. It examines critical race theory and identity politics, as well as Canadian historical figures through an objective lens. The book's aim is to provide understanding of the past so that a renewal of Canada, in which citizens reject divisions based on color and gender and instead unite around laudable, time-tested ideas can occur.

Breitbart: Democrat Bob Casey Meets with Soros Connected, Soft-on-Crime Group
Sen. Bob Casey (D-PA) met with Celeste Trusty from Families Against Mandatory Minimums Foundation (FAMM), a group that opposes mandatory minimum sentencing and receives donations from George Soros.

Fox News: Watchdog calls for DA office staffer to be fired for praise of Louis Farrakhan and antisemitic comment
The StopAntisemitism watchdog called for the firing of True-See Allah, the director of community engagement/strategic partnerships at the Massachusetts district attorney’s office, after he pushed anti-Semitic tropes in an interview and admired Louis Farrakhan. In a 2016 podcast, Allah said his mentor wouldn’t be friends with "a Jewish guy with short arms and deep pockets." Before this discovery, the DA's office stood by Allah after the Middle East Forum reported on his frequent praise of Farrakhan, a well-known anti-Semite. The Suffolk County DA's office put Allah on paid leave on Friday while conducting an internal review of his past comments.
StopAntisemitism's Executive Director Liora Rez called Allah's comment "reprehensible," adding that it's "disturbing to hear from a public employee charged with being the public face of equal justice." Allah is a disciple and admirer of Farrakhan, who the Anti-Defamation League labeled the "most popular anti-Semite in America" in 2020. The DA must assure the community that prejudice will not be tolerated in his office. The Anti-Defamation League's regional director for New England, Rabbi Jonah Steinberg, called it "appropriate that the DA has placed this staffer on leave, pending an investigation."

Manufacturers must focus on profitability as well as expansion to cope with rising labor and supply costs.

Focusing on customer experience from the outset can prove beneficial for manufacturers looking to compete at the most competitive price point possible .
