National Review: States Lack Standing to Challenge Deportation Policy, Supreme Court Rules in Win for Biden Administration
The Supreme Court ruled against Texas and Louisiana, stating that they do not have standing to sue the Biden administration over its deportation policy. The Department of Homeland Security policy prioritizes certain groups of illegal immigrants for arrest and removal. The states claimed this violated federal statutes requiring DHS to apprehend and deport more illegal immigrants, but the majority of justices ruled that the states lack standing to bring the suit. Justice Brett Kavanaugh, writing for the majority, described the challenge as "extraordinarily unusual."
Forbes: Canadian High Court Reaffirms Safe 3rd Country Pact With America
The Safe Third Country Agreement is upheld by the Canadian Supreme Court following a legal challenge by refugee claimants from Ethiopia, El Salvador, and Syria, who alleged that the US poses a risk of detention, return to persecution or torture in other countries, and human rights violations. Under the agreement, refugees must request protection in the first safe country they arrive in. The Canadian government argued that it enables both countries to strengthen the integrity of the institution of asylum and the public support on which it rests. The ruling is a test of the level of civility witnessed in the US during the Trump administration and receded in significance with the election of the Biden administration.

The Epoch Times: NB Premier Says Call for Leadership Review Over Gender Policy Is 'Strategically Planned Political Drama'
New Brunswick Premier Blaine Higgs has upheld changes to school policy regarding gender identity despite causing turmoil within his own Progressive Conservative Party. Higgs stated that his opponents were more focused on "party politics" than LGBTQ issues. The party's provincial council will debate whether to undertake a leadership review as Higgs's opponents have collected 26 letters from party riding presidents calling for one. The revised policy requires parents to be informed when their children under 16 change their names at school to transition genders.
Breitbart: France to Back Ukraine NATO Membership in Split from Berlin and Biden
France is preparing to back Ukraine's membership into NATO, despite previous statements from President Emmanuel Macron that Ukraine joining NATO would be seen as confrontational towards Russia. Paris now sees NATO membership as a "security guarantee" necessary for a possible peace deal with Moscow following a summer counteroffensive. The move sets up a divide in Western strategy, with Germany and the US being more hesitant to back Ukraine joining the American-led alliance.
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has said NATO membership for Ukraine is "out of the question" as long as the war continues, and Joe Biden has said that Ukraine should not receive special treatment in meeting requirements to join the alliance. Even if Ukraine meets the requirements and comes to a detente with Russia, it will face a steep road ahead to join the alliance, requiring the unanimous consent of all current members. Relations between Hungary and Ukraine may also get in the way, given long-standing tensions between the two countries and claims of Ukrainian plotting against the Druzhba oil pipeline.

Washington Free Beacon: Hunter Biden Attends State Dinner Hours After Release of Whistleblower Report
Hunter Biden attended a state dinner at the White House for Indian prime minister Modi, hours after the release of whistleblower testimony accusing him of invoking Joe Biden's name to threaten a Chinese business partner and reducing tax fraud charges. One IRS whistleblower discovered in his investigation that Hunter Biden typed a message to a Chinese official in 2017 that he was sitting next to his father and wanted to know why a commitment had not been fulfilled. The report also revealed that Hunter Biden deducted payments to sex clubs and hookers on his tax returns and the IRS recommended felony charges but the Biden Justice Department did not pursue.
Breitbart: Blue State Blues: Censuring Schiff Is About Democracy, Not Trump
The U.S. House of Representatives has censured Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) for his role in the “Russia collusion” hoax. Schiff had privileged access to sensitive information, yet he claimed publicly that he had seen “more than circumstantial” evidence that the Trump campaign had colluded with Russia to win the 2016 election. Schiff’s lies polarized the public, poisoned the media, and weaponized the security apparatus of the state in an effort to undo the results of the 2016 election, and his impeachment of President Trump was a betrayal of trust. Schiff is now running for the Senate in California, but the censure vote should be seen as a warning to voters.

American Thinker: Navy knew of Titan's implosion on Sunday, but allowed wall-to-wall media coverage to overshadow bad news for Biden and the Democrats
The US Navy detected a suspected implosion of the lost vessel, Titan, hours after it lost communication, using a top-secret military acoustic detection system designed to spot enemy submarines. The Navy shared this data with the Coast Guard commander on site but was unable to definitively confirm it was the sound of Titan's implosion.
The media's obsessive coverage of the search for Titan pushed aside other news, including the Pentagon's error sending billions more to Ukraine and Hunter Biden's wrist-slap plea deal. The existence of the Navy's SOSUS system used for detecting the implosion is not top secret, but the Navy could not confirm if the sound detected was of the Titan. The public announcement was delayed until the real powers-that-be decided to signal the Bidens to prepare for the end of their grifting.
PJ Media: Joe Biden Is Not Ok
President Biden's wacky sayings and inability to articulate simple ideas without notes have led to questions about his mental acuity. From botching old-timey sayings to making complete gibberish statements, the president's quirky aphorisms are often weaponized by Republicans to insinuate his mental decline. Despite the lack of fact-checking or discussion about his competency, there are concerns about his ability to govern the country. As the oldest elected president in history, Biden's deteriorating mental acuity has become a cause for concern, and his frequent nonsensical statements are only fueling debates about his fitness for office.

Breitbart: Russia Has Deployed Military Combat Dolphins to Crimea, Says UK

The move is part of a series of defences deployed in the area, which also include nets and booms. The use of military mammals in the Black Sea is reminiscent of the Cold War era weapons programmes of both the US and the former USSR.
