Fox News: Supreme Court lifts pause on Louisiana redistricting case that could boost Black voting power
Supreme Court lifts hold on Louisiana case forcing the state to redraw congressional districts to boost Black voting power, following rejection of Alabama's redistricting map raising concerns that Black voting power had been diluted.
Lower courts had ruled that the maps raised concerns that Black voting power had been diluted, in violation of the landmark federal Voting Rights Act. Louisiana has about one-third of its population as Black residents, while more than one in four Alabamians are Black. The case had separately been appealed to the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans and could move forward in advance of next year's congressional elections.

According to Schweizer, Hunter's business paid for a private phone line that Joe Biden would use when he was vice president, and the records could provide insight into Joe Biden's involvement with the family's business as well as alleged conversations with a Burisma executive.

McCarthy threatened impeachment inquiries if the allegations are true, while Garland argued that Weiss, who oversaw the tax probe, had “complete authority to make all decisions”. The House Ways and Means Committee claims that an additional IRS whistleblower has backed up the accusations that the DOJ interfered in the Hunter Biden tax probe.

National Review: The Corner: The New Right’s Impractical Utopianism and Anti-Nationalism
Political commentator Jonah Goldberg reviews Patrick Deneen's new book, Regime Change: Toward a Postliberal Future, and argues that his proposed solution to the problems of classical liberalism is entirely impractical in modern American politics. While Deneen and his supporters make valid points about the spiritual benefits of medieval life, the reality of modern life and politics must be considered. Attempts to impose a post-liberal order through the administrative state are utopian, requiring the destruction and replacement of existing institutions, people, and culture. The New Right's only response to practical objections is the cry that things are so bad that anything else would be better, leading to disastrous decisions in human history.

Daily Wire: NYC Climate Rules Would Crack Down On Coal, Wood-Fired Pizzerias
Some classic pizzerias, including Lombardi's and Arturo's, may be affected by a proposed policy from the NYC Department of Environmental Protection that would require coal or wood-fired pizza restaurants to reduce carbon emissions by up to 75%. Pizzerias that installed these ovens before May 2016 may have to purchase expensive air filter systems to comply. The new rule would require pizzerias to hire a professional to determine if installing an emission control device is feasible, and may apply for a variance or waiver if the restaurant can prove a hardship justifying it.

The New American: NYT: Kyiv Fails to Account for "Hundreds of Millions" of Dollars in Arms - The New American
The Kyiv regime has failed to account for "hundreds of millions" of dollars' worth of undelivered military arms, according to government documents uncovered by The New York Times. Ukrainian officials have sued at least two state-owned arms companies over unfulfilled contracts, and some of the weapons donated by Ukraine's allies have been of such poor quality that they were considered suitable only for spare parts. Russia's Foreign Intelligence Service Director claims that Western countries intentionally promoted the topic of Kyiv's offense in the media to justify the supply of weapons and ensure a consensus among NATO member states. Ukrainian troops recently made an offensive in five sectors of the south Donetsk region but failed to achieve their goals, according to Russia's defense ministry.
Washington Free Beacon: Future of Top Russian Military Leaders Uncertain in Wake of Coup Attempt
A rebellion by a private army in Russia has caused speculation about the fate of top military leaders, including defense minister Sergei Shoigu. The Wagner Group, a private army that fought for Russia in Ukraine, attempted a coup and swiftly captured Rostov-on-Don before agreeing to a deal with the Kremlin that saw them turn back from their advance on Moscow. While Wagner Group leader Yevgeny Prigozhin will reportedly move to Belarus as part of the deal, he remains under criminal investigation for "inciting rebellion." The rebellion is seen as the most serious challenge to Russian president Vladimir Putin’s authority in his 23 years of power.

Flag And Cross: Bud Light Hopes 'Biggest Summer Campaign Ever' Will Reverse Sales Slump
Bud Light's recent controversy over partnering with trans activist Dylan Mulvaney has impacted sales and the company's parent company's shares. The brand hopes to win back fans with its "biggest summer campaign ever," which includes a new commercial, a summer music tour with several artists, giveaways, and partnership with NFL players.

Republican-led states including Texas and Florida have criticized BlackRock for its prioritization of "woke" investing, with the latter divesting $2bn in assets managed by BlackRock.

Flag And Cross: US Economy Not Headed For Recession Despite 14-month Decline Streak, Says Yardeni Research
Yardeni Research claims there is little evidence of an impending recession despite the sustained decline of the Leading Economic Indicator (LEI) index for 14 months. The firm's outlook is bolstered by the index of Coincident Economic Indicators (CEI) that rose to a new high. Analysts predict an anticipated recession in Q3 2023, but Yardeni Research believes the economy has been in a rolling recession that makes a nationwide economic recession unlikely.
Job openings remain very high, according to Yardeni Research, despite unchanged new jobless claims of 264,000 in the week ending June 17, marking the highest level since Oct. 2021. The yield curve, a LEI component, has contributed negatively to the index by inverting last summer, but an economy-wide credit crunch and recession have not occurred. The S&P 500 Index's rally since October has led to investor weariness concerning the widely anticipated recession that's yet to occur.
The Epoch Times: Will Vivek’s Plan for the Fed Work?
The Federal Reserve is a serious national problem for the US due to uncontrolled debt expansion, enabling the global military empire and causing every politician and bureaucrat to believe that there are no limits.

Vivek Ramaswamy's monetary policy plan suggests to end the dual mandate by executive order, which can help stabilize the currency, define a basket of commodities, of which gold and silver would take center stage to provide a proxy for general price pressure, and to end all manipulation of interest rates.

Flag And Cross: COVID-19 May Cause Long-Term Drop In Sperm Quality For Men
New research reveals that men can suffer long-term drop in semen quality after mild COVID-19 infection. Scientists found that over three months after infection, men have lower sperm concentrations and fewer sperm that can swim. There have been no improvements in sperm quality and concentration even though new sperm would have been produced in that time. The study analysed semen samples from 45 men attending six reproductive clinics in Spain with confirmed mild COVID-19 diagnosis. The continuing effect of the virus on semen quality may be down to permanent damage, even after a mild infection. The research team believes clinicians should be aware of the damaging effects of SARS-CoV-2 virus on male fertility.
