Fox News: On Dobbs anniversary, pro-life advocates celebrate wins 'no one thought' were 'possible'
Pro-life activists say that in the year since Roe v. Wade was overturned, momentum is on their side, with 24 states implementing laws restricting abortions, and more states considering limitations on abortion. Many of these states are offering alternatives to abortion funding, to help support pregnancy centers and maternity homes. However, the activists are also concerned about violence from opponents, with over 100 crisis pregnancy centers, churches, and pro-life organizations being attacked since the Dobbs decision was leaked. Meanwhile, pro-abortion advocates are working to expand abortion rights.
Breitbart: Hunter Whistleblower's Lawyer: We Have Contemporaneous Corroboration by Others for My Client's Claim that Contradicts Garland
Attorney for whistleblower Gary Shapley, Mark Lytle, claims that an email included in the transcript of Shapley's congressional interview confirms allegations that Trump-nominated U.S. Attorney David Weiss said he wasn't in charge of whether charges would be filed against Hunter Biden. The email, sent to Shapley's superiors, was written after a senior leadership meeting at the U.S. attorney's office attended by the Special Agent in Charge from the IRS and the assistant special agent in charge from the FBI, as well as Shapley himself. The email corroborates Shapley's account of the meeting and includes confirmation from the IRS Special Agent in Charge Darrell Waldon.
The Epoch Times: House Committee Subpoenas Author of Scientific Paper Meant to Disprove COVID Lab Leak Theory
The Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic subpoenaed Dr. Kristian Andersen's private messages regarding a paper he co-authored meant to disprove the COVID-19 lab leak theory. Andersen testified before the subcommittee on June 16 that he had not provided all relevant Slack messages due to non-approval of certain participants. Since the paper's publication, the lab leak theory has gained traction, and the subcommittee wants to know why Andersen potentially suppressed it. It has been suggested that Andersen was prompted by Dr. Anthony Fauci to write the paper.
The subpoena requires Andersen to provide all Slack documents and communications from Jan. 1, 2020, to June 23, 2023, relating to the COVID-19 origins and individuals such as Dr. Anthony Fauci and former Director of National Institutes of Health Dr. Francis Collins. The Subcommittee issued a memo indicating that email evidence suggested Fauci "prompted" the drafting of the study designed to "disprove" any lab leak theory. The memo detailed a conference call between Collins, Fauci, and other scientists about the possibility of a lab leak theory. It is alleged that Andersen did not believe the pangolin data disproved a lab leak theory despite stating so publicly.
Fox News: One year after Dobbs, here are challenges facing the pro-life movement
The Supreme Court's Dobbs decision overturned Roe v. Wade on June 24, and the Left reacted with false and alarming claims of fascism and inequality, leading to violent attacks on pro-life groups. However, Dobbs merely returned the issue of abortion to the states, where the people and their elected representatives could debate the merits of the issue for themselves. The pro-life movement must now support greater protection of life for both mothers and the unborn, through state-level actions that limit abortions and safeguard mothers and their babies. Investment in foster care, adoption, maternal health care, and resources for mothers facing unwanted pregnancy is vital, as well as providing unconditional love and support for all parties involved in the abortion debate.
Breitbart: 13 Serious Allegations by IRS Whistleblower Against Bidens, DOJ
The House Ways and Means Committee revealed serious IRS whistleblower allegations against the Biden family. Joe Biden's Justice Department allegedly prevented stronger charges against Hunter Biden and refused to name a special counsel. The investigation into Hunter Biden's tax violations began as an offshoot of an inquiry into a foreign adult platform. However, Attorney General Merrick Garland denies whistleblower allegations of interference. Hunter Biden agreed to plead guilty to only two federal tax violation charges and one charge of violation of gun laws. If the judge accepts the plea deal, no additional allegations of wrongdoing by Republicans can ever be brought against him.

Red State: White Dem Thinks a College's Cartoon Tree Looks Like a Threatening Minority, Accuses the School of Racism
In Florida, a college's new mascot, the "Mighty Banyans," a large fig tree native to India and Pakistan that kills its host tree, has been accused of racism. A woman named Robin Williams has expressed her horror in an op-ed for the Sarasota Herald-Tribune, citing that the tree that has been anthropomorphized to closely resemble an angry, threatening brown individual. The teacher and president of the Democratic Public Education Caucus of Manasota decries the violent replacement of a superior emblem, while the former "Null Set" mascot represented a symbol of opposition to a new administration. The new mascot's color has been noted as brown, which might be related to the fact that banyan trees are also brown. Some argue that a brown tree is just a brown tree.

Flag And Cross: Apple In Talks To Launch Its Credit Card In India With HDFC Bank
Apple is in talks with Indian financial institutions and regulators about launching its Apple Card in India. The company plans to introduce its co-branded credit card with HDFC Bank, but talks are still in preliminary stages and no decision has been reached. Apple's focus on India has increased with surging iPhone sales, and analysts say India could account for almost a quarter of Apple's total phone production in the next few years. The decision to consider launching the Apple Card in India could be due to the absence of card payments, as the country only accepts Unified Payments Interface (UPI) for most purchases.

Breitbart: Dobbs Anniversary: Pro-Lifers Wage War Against the Pro-Abortion Hydra
On the one-year anniversary of the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization decision, which overturned Roe v. Wade, pro-life activists are celebrating their progress. According to a study conducted by , there were approximately 93,575 fewer abortions in states that limited abortion for at least one week in the nine months after the ruling, while abortion clinics have closed all over the country and many states have enacted pro-life laws. However, Planned Parenthood, its affiliates, and other abortion clinics and organizations are continuing to file lawsuits and introduce ballot initiatives to codify abortion into state constitutions throughout most, if not all, stages of pregnancy, while the Biden administration has employed a “whole-of-administration” approach to furthering the pro-abortion agenda.

The Epoch Times: Judge Agrees to Narrow but Not Lift Gag Order in University of Idaho Student Slayings Case
An Idaho judge has refused to lift the gag order on the capital murder case of former University of Idaho student Bryan Kohberger. Kohberger has been charged with four counts of murder and burglary in connection to the deaths of four UI students in November 2012. Judge John Judge has given in to the news organisations' requests by narrowing the gag order. Kohberger’s legal representatives, law enforcement advisory agencies and others involved with his case will be restrained from discussing it due to Judge's intentions to preserve Kohberger's Sixth Amendment rights. The gag order's strict rules also aim to ensure Kohberger has a fair trial by an impartial jury.
