Fox News: Democrats blame Dobbs decision on 'corrupt, extremist' justices to mark year since Supreme Court ruling
House Democrats criticized the Supreme Court for overturning federal abortion protections in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health and upheld Mississippi's 15-week abortion ban. Democrats called the justices "corrupt" and "extremist," and Rep. Judy Chu said that they wanted to make the country one of forced birth. Democrats have made abortion a core campaign issue and have called for expanding the Supreme Court to even out the court's current conservative supermajority. There are 17 states plus Washington, D.C., that have laws protecting abortion, while limits or bans exist in 24 states.
Fox News: Justice Alito fishing vacation story is 'bait' for 'reeling in' cash from 'woke billionaires,' critic claims
ProPublica, a non-partisan media outlet, has received over $40 million since 2010 from Arabella Advisors, a group connected to liberal dark money networks. They recently published stories about conservative Supreme Court justices' luxury vacations. Leonard Leo, a conservative legal influencer, defends Justice Samuel Alito over accusations that he broke ethics laws by taking a luxury fishing trip with hedge fund billionaire, Paul Singer, in 2009, who later had business matters before the Supreme Court. Leo says the ProPublica stories "questioning the integrity of only conservative Supreme Court Justices is bait for reeling in more dark money."
PJ Media: Joe Biden Is Not OK
President Biden's frequent flubs and nonsensical statements are becoming a cause for concern about his mental acuity. White House aides are giving conflicting answers to his recent "God save the queen, man" statement, which was likely a spontaneous and cool-sounding remark, but his "quirky aphorisms" are often weaponized by Republicans to insinuate his mental decline. Biden's inability to articulate simple ideas without notes is alarming, and there is no handwringing about competency in democracy or discussion about the 25th Amendment. The president's increasing gibberish and tendency to yell in frustration are being treated as folksy and quirky, but they are indicative of his deteriorating cognitive function. (, )
Spectator USA: Kari Lake grabs the headlines

Meanwhile, rumors suggest Riley Gaines might be nominated as the GOP nominee for lieutenant governor of Kentucky. Axios' co-founder, Mike Allen, is ridiculed for saying a phrase that suggests party guests are being judged for their dressing style.

Fox News: House GOP moves to slash Pentagon DEI bureaucrats: 'Massive victory for the Anti-Woke Caucus'
Indiana GOP Rep. Jim Banks has proposed an amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act that would lower the salary cap for diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) employees at the Department of Defense. The amendment would also restrict the employment of military or civilian employees with rank or grade in excess of GS-10 in positions with duty to develop and implement DEI policy. Banks' amendment has come amidst a growing concern over wokeness in the military.
Banks' amendment has other provisions such as banning race and gender quotas in military recruiting and promotions, reinstalling unvaccinated servicemembers fired by the Biden administration, shutting down the navy's drag queen digital ambassador program, defunding critical race theory courses at West Point and US service academies, firing the Chief Diversity Officer at the DoD, and ending drag shows at military bases. Banks said his main goal was to eliminate wokeness from every federal agency of the government.

Red State: Biden Administration Secures 8-1 Win From Supreme Court on ICE Enforcement Challenge
The US Supreme Court ruled 8-1 in favor of the Biden administration's new enforcement guidelines for civil immigration law, finding that Texas and Louisiana lacked standing to challenge them. The guidelines prioritized the removal of noncitizens who have unlawfully entered the country recently, are suspected of being dangerous criminals, or are suspected terrorists. The court found that the guidelines are an efficient use of limited resources to protect the American people, even though critics saw it as a part of rolling back enforcement and border security.
The Epoch Times: Housing Bill on Ice Puts Double Dissolution in Play
Labor's housing bill worth $10 billion has failed to pass parliament, with the Greens causing a delay until October. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has received legal advice that the housing future fund has not made it through the upper house. If the bill fails a second time, this would prompt a double dissolution of parliament. The Greens have been holding out for a two-year rent freeze and caps on increases to protect tenants, while the coalition and crossbench have also opposed the bill. Discussions about national housing accord were held between Treasurer Jim Chalmers and state and territory counterparts but didn't result in a statement being issued. The government has announced a $2 billion funding injection for social housing amidst rising rent and a low supply.
The American Spectator: Michigan Hate Crime Bill Is an Attack on Free Speech
Michigan Democrat state Rep. Noah Arbit proposed a bill that would penalize speech that makes a victim feel threatened, even if it was not motivated by hate. The bill passed in the Michigan House and would modify the state’s Ethnic Intimidation Act of 1988, including redefining “intimidation” to include “a willful course of conduct involving repeated or continuing harassment of another individual that would cause a reasonable individual to feel terrorized, frightened, or threatened, and that actually causes the victim to feel terrorized, frightened, or threatened." The bill caters to groups susceptible to mental illnesses that distort reality and simultaneous tramples the First Amendment, raising concerns over the enforcement of hate crimes.

The Epoch Times: The Brexit Blame Game
Brexit was a demand for Britain to have the right to make its own policies. However, the British elite has failed to embrace that right and instead blamed their failures on Brexit, despite their support for bad policies that aren't limited to their love of the European Union. Britain has focused on pumping up demand and building bigger government rather than improving the efficiency of supply, which has resulted in shortages, inflation, and low growth. Britain can still adopt free trade in food, make it easier to build houses, and get serious about immigration to pursue growth per capita.

The New American: Major Breakthrough for Global Tax at Paris Summit - The New American
The Summit for a New Global Financing Pact has just ended in Paris with some of the world's most powerful globalists in attendance. The purpose of the summit was to compensate poorer countries for alleged climate-related injustices, and it was agreed at COP 27 UN climate conference in Sharm-al-Sheikh, Egypt to establish a permanent international fund for "loss and damage payments," using expanding efforts to combat climate change. The fund would use the term "innovative financing" under the fourth summit objective, which includes a series of global tax proposals and is one of the main agenda items at the Paris summit. The unique and unprecedented international transfer of wealth may require wealthy countries to pay in the name of climate justice.
Proposals under discussion include a fossil fuel extraction levy, an air passenger/ticket levy, a tax on "windfall fossil fuel profits," and an IMO carbon levy, among others. An IMO carbon tax, i.e., a tax levied on all international shipping under the auspices of the IMO, received enthusiastic support at the Paris conference, and it is expected to be formalized next month at the IMO's annual meeting. The tax on shipping alone would raise an estimated $100 billion a year, and it could provide Macron with a symbolic victory if it gains support from the IMO next month. This would establish the framework and precedent for additional global taxes and give the United Nations a more substantial income stream completely independent of the voluntary contributions from member states.

The Epoch Times: Dodgers Strike Out With Fans, Kowtow to Radical Teachers Unions
Dodgers fans withdrew their award to the "Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence"—an “anti-Catholic, anti-Christian” group that mocks Catholic beliefs for activism. The California Teachers Association (CTA) supported the Sisters and imposed their radical agenda upon teachers. However, discerning Americans are rising up in protest against so-called teacher unions, demanding true religious tolerance. Muslims, Jews, Catholics, and Protestants are joining together to say that making fun of religious symbols should not be celebrated. If public school teachers refuse to pay union dues, it will stop the power of the intolerant CTA and restore freedom of speech and religion.

The Economist: Britons love country fairs. Why?
Rural shows in Britain are gaining momentum, with at least 400 days of such events happening annually. One-in-ten Britons attend these fairs each year, and their popularity appears to be on the rise.

PJ Media: What If Critical Race Theory Is Driving Teen Suicide Rates Higher?
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) released data showing a 62% increase in teen suicides between 2007 and 2021. Homicide rates are also increasing, and while correlation is not causation, environmental factors such as academic pressure, limited access to mental health care, and social isolation during COVID-19 may be contributing factors. However, prominent national public health officials are not considering the impact of the critical race theory (CRT) ideology that has been incorporated into K-12 public school curriculums over the past two decades, along with the constantly reiterated message of impending climate disaster and the rise of religious disaffiliation among the young.
National Review: The Corner: The Holy Grail of Silicon Valley
Lionel Shriver investigates the pros and cons of immortality, analyzing the reasons behind the trend of longevity research and the growing number of technological solutions seeking to extend human life.

National Review's new issue also features an article by Andrew C. McCarthy about the problem with two-tiered justice, a rebuttal by Charles C. W. Cooke of arguments for nominating Trump, and essays on Ukraine, American foreign policy, and everything else in "The Week."
The Epoch Times: IN-DEPTH: Medical Gender Industry Projected to Reach $5 Billion by 2030 as Doctors Sound Alarm
The gender-affirming care model for children is projected to become a $5 billion industry in the United States by 2030, but it is not without opposition. Some physicians oppose the approach while other countries, like the United Kingdom, have deemed it harmful and discontinued the use of puberty blockers. The American medical community's full-throttle attitude is driven by a political apparatus using language instead of examining diagnoses, and failing to investigate underlying mental disorders behind the diagnoses of gender dysphoria.

The Epoch Times: IN DEPTH: Gun Loophole Closed After Police Murder but Expert Warns UK Firearms Laws a 'Shambles'
Louis De Zoysa has been convicted of the murder of Sergeant Mathew Ratana. The legal loophole surrounding antique firearms ownership he used has since been closed. The 1968 Firearms Act exempted antique firearms manufactured before September 1, 1939, if they were being displayed as a “curiosity or ornament.” This loophole was closed in November 2020, meaning antique weapons must now be certified, and firearms defined as antique have been tightened. The new definition includes “any weapon which is ‘loaded at the muzzle end of the barrel’, such as a flintlock, musket or a blunderbuss, and any ‘breech-loading cartridge firearm which uses an ignition system other than rim-fire or centre-fire.'” Antique firearms still in circulation could not use cartridges that had been obsolete for over 100 years.
