The Right Scoop: WATCH: Gov DeSantis had a great interview on Fox News
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis discusses protecting education and parental rights, holding China accountable with tariffs and economic decoupling, and refuting false claims about his COVID-19 response in an interview with Kayleigh McEnany on Fox News.

Red State: Yet Another GOP Candidate Enters the Presidential Fray: Former Rep. and CIA Officer Will Hurd Announces 2024 Bid
Former Texas Congressman and CIA clandestine officer Will Hurd announced his candidacy for the Republican nomination for President of the United States, becoming the 12th GOP candidate.

Hurd joins a crowded field that includes former Vice President Mike Pence, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, and former President Donald Trump.
The Economist: Hunter Biden’s plea bargain will not stop Republicans chasing him
Hunter Biden has pleaded guilty to two misdemeanour charges of not paying taxes and will avoid a prison sentence. A felony charge of illegally purchasing a gun will be dismissed after a period of probation, drawing criticism from Republicans. However, Hunter’s legal troubles are not over, as an investigation into his financial dealings is ongoing, and his willingness to own up to wrongdoing contrasts with former President Trump’s refusal to do the same.
The collapse of a section of Interstate 95 in the US highlights the highway’s importance and the pain and pride it brings to communities. Meanwhile, as respondents to polls decline, the risk of polling errors increases, presenting a growing problem for pollsters. Additionally, almost all of Louisiana’s death-row inmates have appealed for clemency, which could be granted by the state’s lame-duck governor before his term ends in 2024. (, )

Breitbart: J.K. Rowling Rejects Transgender Term 'Cis': We Have the Right to 'Refuse to Adopt Your Jargon'
J.K. Rowling and Elon Musk have condemned the use of the term "cis", which refers to non-transgender people. Rowling tweeted that "cis" is ideological language and violates people's right to refuse to use trans terminology. Musk replied saying "Exactly", and announced that the words "cis" and "cisgender" will be considered slurs on Twitter, and that repeated, targeted harassment will result in suspension. Rowling has previously warned of radical transgender activism, which she says is attempting to erase women and womanhood, and to subject children to irreversible procedures. This has led to her being called a “TERF” by some progressives.
The Federalist Papers: Citizens Are Furious Over Iconic Landmark 'Pride Month' Makeover
The famous "Welcome to Las Vegas" sign is getting rainbow-colored lights for "pride month," but locals are upset about their iconic landmark being used to promote a leftist agenda. Citizens are taking to Twitter to voice their frustration and are calling for a display of red, white, and blue colors to show pride in their country every day. Despite Las Vegas being well-known for its tolerance of vice, as the LGBT agenda becomes more aggressive, even the residents of Sin City have had enough. This backlash against "pride month" celebrations has been seen across the country, even in very blue areas like Los Angeles.
The Economist: As response rates decline, the risk of polling errors rises
As response rates to surveys decline, the risk of polling errors rises, leading to inaccurate reflections of American values and other key data. The decline in response rates affects economic indicators such as the unemployment rate and the labour-force participation percentage, with non-response causing distortion if "non-responders" differ from the people researchers hear from. Nonetheless, the government is attempting to fix the problem through methods such as interviewing more people and developing new statistical techniques.

Breitbart: Counter-Offensive Going 'Slower Than Desired', Admits Zelensky
President Zelensky admits that Ukraine's counter-offensive against Russian occupation is progressing slower than desired, despite help from NATO allies. Some in the West have unrealistic expectations about the speed of victory, which Zelensky attributes to perceptions derived from Hollywood movies. Comparisons to films have been made by Western authorities and even Ukrainian soldiers, with Zelensky and Britain's Foreign Secretary James Cleverly trying to dispel the perception that war is easy or like a movie.

The Epoch Times: People Need to Understand They're 'Being Used Against Each Other': Filmmaker
Filmmaker Mikki Willis believes America is being engaged in a psychological war through propaganda. In the third instalment of his "Plandemic" series, he describes how dictators of the past relied on people enlisted in armies to be active participants in atrocities and genocide. The new documentary "The Great Awakening" warns against the potential for communist-style cultural takeovers in America, and Willis asserts that the society is faced with a globalist plan to bring everyone under total control. Willis interviews Chinese dissidents who have fled China and warns Americans about the risk to their own freedoms and lives.

PJ Media: Totalitarian Dutch Government Prepares to Dictate Home Sales
The Dutch government is introducing a housing bill allowing municipalities to force homeowners to sell their homes only to low and middle-income buyers. Critics fear restrictions on sales will reduce prices and deflate home values. The bill has spawned concerns that the government is overreaching on homeowners' individual freedom, and ultimately damaging the flexibility of the market.
The Epoch Times: The Free Market as All-Purpose Scapegoat
The New York Times claims that the failures of globalization, including COVID and financial inequality, are the fault of capitalism, and that the free market is failing. However, this is not entirely true: the 2008 financial crisis was actually caused by government policies, and the solution to the current economic slowdown is more capitalism, not less. The Times also blames capitalism for shortages during COVID, but government policies were largely responsible. Moreover, the failures of globalism reflect more on socialism than capitalism.
Forbes: Ocado Share Price Soars Amid Amazon Takeover Speculation
Shares in online grocery fulfillment company Ocado have risen by as much as 40% due to rumors of a possible takeover. Market rumours suggest that a number of major US technology companies, including Amazon, could want to buy Ocado. The grocery company has significant partnerships with Marks & Spencer and Kroger in the UK and US, respectively. Despite Ocado's shares being down by 40%, following the pandemic's peak, it is still believed that the company's technology and infrastructure hold significant value. The company wants to build warehousing across the US, and Kroger still remains committed to its partnership with Ocado.
The Epoch Times: Bank of England Hikes Interest Rates to Highest Level Since 2008
The Bank of England has raised interest rates from 4.5% to 5% due to persistently high inflation. This is the 13th rate increase in 18 months, and is more aggressive than previously expected. Mortgage holders are expected to come under significant pressure as a result, with the Resolution Foundation estimating that average household remortgaging will cost an extra £2,900 next year. The Institute for Fiscal Studies has warned that 1.4m people could lose 20% of their disposable incomes to rising mortgage payments. Labour has said that it would force lenders to help borrowers struggling to pay their mortgages if in power.

The Epoch Times: Raspberry Pâte de Fruits Is Summer in a Sugar-Coated Bite
Pâte de fruits, a French confection made from a firm fruit paste cut into tiny cubes and coated in sugar, has seen a big revival. They can be made with virtually any fruit, but raspberry is one of the most popular. Pectin is a required thickening agent in making pâte de fruits since the fruit paste needs to set firmly enough to become sliceable. While jams allow some flexibility, it’s very important to stick to precise measurements when making pâte de fruits, and the amount of pectin and sugar for making a pâte de fruit will vary depending on the fruit you are using. The secret to success is to choose seasonal raspberries, cook them until they reach the correct temperature using a candy thermometer, and don't cook for too long. Pâte de fruits is perfect for preserving seasonal fruits.

Liberty Nation: RFK Jr. Not Allowed to Debate Joe Biden or Vaccine Doctor
Dr. Peter Hotez, a leading coronavirus vaccine promoter in America, has refused to debate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on vaccine safety and efficacy after being challenged by Joe Rogan. Hotez has long been critical of vaccine skepticism and even compared debating Kennedy to talking with a Holocaust denier. He authored a paper in PLOS Biology accusing conservative news outlets and far-right US officials of promoting "antiscience aggression." Hotez has close relations with the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, and even though he previously received $52 million from the organization, he denies receiving funding from industry or vaccine manufacturers. He also praised China's handling of the COVID pandemic and appeared on CGTN, the official international television news network of the Chinese Communist Party.
Fox News: AI tech aims to help patients catch disease early, even ‘reverse their biological age’
California-based medical technology company Prenuvo offers full-body MRI scans that leverage AI to screen for over 500 conditions in less than an hour. Prenuvo has partnered with Cenegenics, a Las Vegas-based company offering "personalized performance health age management" to monitor their bloodwork for over 90 biomarkers to help fill in any gaps and provide doctors with a better picture of patients' health. The scans are trained to detect the early stages of disease progression in every organ, and on average, Prenuvo scans alert one in every 20 patients to a life-saving diagnosis.
The Epoch Times: Reset Your Circadian Clock With 2 Habits
Scientists have discovered that two daily habits, light exposure and timing of eating, can help individuals regulate their circadian rhythm, which is not just about sleep but is associated with metabolic and cardiovascular health. Eating conveys to the body that it needs energy for wake-cycle activities, burdening the pancreas's insulin production and leading to insulin resistance and mixed signals to the circadian clock. It is suggested that all eating should cease eight to 12 hours after breakfast, based on mice and human research. Additionally, light is crucial for resetting the circadian clock, and artificial bright light has also been found to help shift the sleep-wake cycle for older adults.
The Epoch Times: RCMP to Release Names of Manitoba Crash Victims as City Gathers in Mourning
The names of those who died in a bus crash in western Manitoba will be released by the RCMP as the community prepares for a memorial service. The bus, carrying a group of seniors to a casino, collided with a semi-trailer truck, killing 16 people and injuring nine others. Manitoba Premier Heather Stefanson and first responders will attend the RCMP press conference. The community service, organised by the Dauphin and District Ministerial Association, will include comments from the mayor and hymns reflecting the heritage of the region. Counselling and support will be available at Dauphin Active Living Centre, where a flower memorial has been created.

The Economist: Nearly all Louisiana’s death-row inmates have filed for clemency
Louisiana's lame-duck Democratic governor, John Bel Edwards, who recently announced his opposition to the death penalty, is now facing a test of his political bravery as 51 of the state's 57 death-row inmates file for clemency. Most of these inmates are black and have intellectual disabilities, with the concentration of death sentences coming from two parishes indicating prosecutorial overreach. While the state's Catholic heritage has likely contributed to its lesser appetite for capital punishment, Republican lawmakers are pushing for executions to start again, even as pharmaceutical firms refuse to supply prisons with the chemicals necessary for lethal injections.
As response rates to American polls decline, the risk of polling errors increases, highlighting a growing problem for pollsters in accurately representing the public's opinions. Meanwhile, Hunter Biden's recent plea bargain won't stop Republicans from pursuing investigations into him, although it may help draw a line under the controversy for his father, President Joe Biden. The collapse of a section of Interstate 95 has further emphasized the importance of this vital American highway.

An 18-year-old girl from Tennessee is suing the city of St. Louis after both her legs were amputated in a car accident caused in part by a man out on bond for an armed robbery case.

All Outdoor: Bass Fly Fishing - The Secrets to Success on the Water
Get ready for some thrilling bass fly fishing – they are fast, aggressive, opportunistic, and break the water for an impressive leap at a dry fly. Largemouths prefer small dry flies in shallow and covered waters while Smallies like wet flies in cool, deep, and fast water. Popular fly lures for Bass include foam poppers, dragonflies, streamers, baitfish, and natural hair streamer in white, olive, chartreuse, or brown. To ensure a successful catch, stick to low-light hours, let the fly rest, go bigger with lures, and use a 7wt or 8wt rod and medium-fast or fast action weight-forward sinking-tip or full-sink line.
targetwalleye.com: Live sonar rant, Cannibalistic walleye, Power Switch spotted – Target Walleye
A 9.56-lb walleye with a fish stuck in its throat was found in Lake Darling, ND. Another angler shared a video of a Manitoba cannibal that had a 16-inch walleye down its throat, yet still managed to eat a jig and minnow. Walleyes can catch big fish, proving that tiny-little baits are not always necessary.
In other fishing news, a custom 1/2-oz “Darth Maul” glow jig was created and auctioned off by Tight Lines Jigs, which was won by Nick Tousignant for $55. Researchers have started using forward-facing sonar to study fish behavior, which can help anglers learn more about their prey and improve their fishing skills.

PJ Media: Congress Is Rushing to Regulate AI. That's a Terrible Idea
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer wants to regulate tech companies experimenting with AI. He announced a new framework including "AI Insight Forums" to be convened this fall. Other agencies, such as the Commerce Department and the Federal Trade Commission, are also interested in regulating AI. However, the plan is short on details and rushed regulation could block promising research and development.

The Epoch Times: How to Donate Money to Reduce Taxable Income
Donating money to charitable organizations can reduce taxable income but requires itemization. The standard deduction has increased, making it harder for some to benefit from charitable donations. The donation must be made to an IRS-approved 501(c)(3) organization, and there are limits on the size of the gift in proportion to income. Donations of stock or property held longer than a year can be deducted at fair market value, up to 30% of AGI. You can donate household goods or make a qualified charitable distribution to reduce taxes, or set up a donor-advised fund to receive an immediate tax deduction. Bunching donations enables you to exceed the standard deduction and reduce taxes, while excess amounts can be carried forward for up to five years.
