His goal is to create a safer and more secure America, ensuring control over their own territory.

Red State: Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene Raises Concerns of Being Surveilled Through Her TV, After It Turns on by Itself
Georgia Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene implied that she is being spied on through her television set and has concerns over being "suicided," tweeting about an incident where her TV turned on by itself and displayed a message about a laptop attempting to connect to it. The congresswoman linked an article of an FBI report warning against using Smart TVs to spy on Americans, while a Mashable writer suggested that one of Greene's neighbors might have accidentally tried to screencast to the wrong TV. Last year, Greene also experienced multiple incidents of "swatting," where false emergency reports were made to law enforcement, resulting in a SWAT team response.
The Right Scoop: Mike Pence tries to take a BIG shot at Gov DeSantis but sounds like an idiot…
Mike Pence criticizes Ron DeSantis for attacking Disney, claiming he's copying the radical left. But DeSantis was protecting children from the alphabet mafia. Disney opposed his legislation, so why should they still get special benefits from the state? DeSantis simply revoked a benefit that the government had given them long ago, while Pence would have caved like a wet cardboard box.
National Review: ‘Everything about This Case Is Wrong’: Former U.S. Attorney Digs Into Hunter Biden’s ‘Sweetheart’ Plea Deal
The DOJ announced last week that Hunter Biden, President Biden's son, has agreed to plead guilty to two tax misdemeanors and a felony possession of firearm diversion. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy says the House will open impeachment inquiries into Attorney General Merrick Garland if allegation of DOJ, FBI, and IRS interference in the Hunter Biden tax probe turn out to be true. Many in conservative media have drawn comparisons between the DOJ’s treatment of Hunter Biden and its treatment of rapper Kodak Black. The whistleblower allegations were given little-to-no airtime on the major networks.
Fox News: Vivek Ramaswamy hits back at Don Lemon's 'bigots' and 'insurrectionists' comments: 'I educated him'
Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy defends himself against Don Lemon's recent accusations by tying them to his disagreement over the 2nd amendment with Lemon in an interview on CNN This Morning. Ramaswamy argues that Lemon called him a "liar, bigot, and insurrectionist" after their previous argument, adding that calling someone an "insurrectionist" has replaced the word "racist" after it has lost its meaning. Meanwhile, Lemon claims that he does not believe in providing platforms for "liars and bigots," which is why he is no longer with CNN.
Fox News: Biden ramps up reelection campaign amid whistleblower allegations of family corruption
President Biden is increasing his reelection campaign amidst whistleblower allegations about his family's foreign business deals, with three receptions scheduled this week. Hunter Biden, the President's son, was part of a federal probe into allegations of tax and gun crimes, which he has agreed to a plea deal for. Recent allegations include that the Department of Justice limited aspects of the investigation and that Hunter referred to the "big guy" in texts regarding a percentage of one of his Chinese business deals. Biden's recent spike in campaign events is a response to weak polling numbers and growing corruption scandals.
Biden's campaign momentum is likely due to the two-week Congressional break, with Republicans already on the campaign trail in an internal push to better promote their agenda. The President's poor polling numbers are causing concern, particularly among independents and minorities, as many people question if Democrats will ditch him for Michelle Obama or Gavin Newsom next year. Given the tough election ahead and the feeling within the administration that they haven't done a good job of promoting their accomplishments, Americans will see Biden out campaigning more often the closer it gets to November 2024.
The Blaze: McCarthy threatens to open impeachment inquiry into AG Merrick Garland
House Speaker McCarthy suggests an impeachment inquiry into Merrick Garland's use of Department of Justice to favor Hunter Biden may soon occur. U.S. Attorney David Weiss may be questioned about the disparities with Hunter Biden's case and the 189,000 firearm possession cases reviewed show there have been no diversions amongst prosecutions by the DOJ. AG Garland has denied that Weiss ever requested special counsel status and that he had complete authority. McCarthy was responding to developments highlighted by Washington Examiner on IRS whistleblower Gary Shapley's testimony about the Hunter Biden investigation.
Red State: Newspaper Issues Hollow Apology for Letting Racist Ramaswamy Cartoon 'Slip Through Our Editorial Process'
The Quad-City Times published a racist political cartoon featuring Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy. Ramaswamy called out the cartoon and the Times issued an apology for "letting such an image slip through." However, Ramaswamy pointed out that the focus of the cartoon was not him, but the GOP, and questioned why the offensive image was published in the first place. The editor's apology was called insincere and dishonest.

Jim Palmer, the CEO of Orange County Rescue Mission, has resigned after more than 30 years of serving the faith-based nonprofit for homeless services.

Bryan Crain, who has been serving as the Chief Operations Officer for ten years, will assume the role of interim president until a permanent replacement is found for Jim Palmer.
Red State: Homeless in the Great Land: It Happens Here, Too
Property owners in Anchorage, Alaska, are raising concerns about an increase in crime in their area, attributed to homeless people who have taken over the former Native Hospital Site on 3rd Avenue. They have expressed disappointment in the lack of response from the mayor and Assembly and appealed for community support. The problem of homelessness, which affects over 40% of the homeless population in Anchorage and is often associated with Alaska Natives, is not unique to the region and is similar to issues faced on the West Coast. However, due to its geographic isolation, Anchorage may be an ideal test-bed for policy solutions to homelessness that go beyond treating symptoms.

The Epoch Times: US and Allies Ramp Up Efforts to Rival China on Subsea Cable Projects: Analysts
The US and its allies are stepping up efforts to counter China's expansion of subsea cable projects, which carry 97-98% of intercontinental data traffic. Japan, the US and Australia have signed a $95m agreement to build a 1,400-mile submarine cable project, awarded to Japan's NEC. Meanwhile, Chinese companies have been excluded from the building of the “Europe-Middle East-Asia” cable and Huawei is challenging the US via its joint venture with UK-based Global Marine, Huawei Marine Networks. The global subsea cable business has been dominated by US subsea company SubCom LLC, Japanese firm Nippon Electric Company and France’s Alcatel Submarine Networks.
Foreign Policy: The Middle East Might Be Moving Toward Stability
After years of hostilities, Iran and Saudi Arabia have brokered an agreement to normalize relations. Talks began in April 2021 and culminated in the 2023 Beijing Agreement, which holds promise of being sustained. Recent de-escalations suggest that regional cooperation, similar to that which led to the formation of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, might be taking hold in the Middle East. The primary impetus to stabilization, it seems, needs to come from regional powers, as a view takes hold in the region that cooperation among the regional actors - with or without US involvement - is required for stabilization and de-escalation from problems in Yemen and Syria to those in Lebanon and Iraq.
The Economist: Alexander Lukashenko is the clearest beneficiary of Wagner’s mutiny
Belarusian dictator Alexander Lukashenko is being praised by Russian propagandists after playing a role in halting mutineer Yevgeny Prigozhin and his Wagner Group mercenaries at the gates of Moscow. Lukashenko has benefitted the most from the mutiny, having played second fiddle to Russia since a popular uprising in 2020. By brokering a deal between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Prigozhin, Lukashenko has regained some agency. While Lukashenko's role in the negotiations themselves is unclear, the Kremlin preferred Lukashenko to take credit for the deal. It is uncertain what will come next and whether Prigozhin and his unarmed men will settle in Belarus for a short while before departing to concentrate on business in Africa or if they will assimilate into the Russian army. Ukraine and the West view Lukashenko as a co-belligerent in Putin's invasion, but inside Belarus, locals have noted that he has managed to avoid mobilisation and protest while consolidating his system.

American Thinker: The coming collapse of commercial real estate
Telecommuting caused by lockdowns will have unfathomable consequences on the American economy as it causes the breakdown of the commercial real estate marketplace. There are benefits to telecommuting such as not having to commute to work, but it also leads to loneliness and the destruction of the human infrastructure. This will cause a commercial real estate collapse that could make 2008's home real estate recession look like a cheery block party. Commercial real estate has become a debt timebomb that puts the market at a dangerous precipice, with $1.5 trillion of real estate mortgages due in the next two years.

The New American: Senators Introduce "End Endless Wars Act" to Repeal 2001 AUMF - The New American
Senator Rand Paul and other members of Congress have introduced the "End Endless Wars Act," which aims to repeal the 2001 Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF) that has been used to justify U.S. involvement in multiple foreign conflicts. The bill seeks to reclaim Congress's constitutional power to declare war, which was abdicated when the AUMF was enacted. The AUMF has been used by both Republican and Democratic presidential administrations to justify military action in over 20 countries, costing trillions of dollars and many lives. If enacted, the bill would be a significant step toward ending interventionism abroad.

Breitbart: Poll: U.S. Church Attendance Below Pre-Pandemic Level
Church attendance in the US has declined during the coronavirus pandemic, according to a survey by Gallup News.

Attendance rates have dropped among nearly every major group, except political liberals and adults with no religious affiliation. The number of Protestants attending church is down four points, while seven fewer Catholics attended. Young adults are least likely to attend church.

The New American: House Ethics Committee Adds Another Reason to Investigate George Santos - The New American
Republican Representative George Santos of New York's 3rd Congressional District pled not guilty to 13 charges of fraud brought by U.S. Attorney Breon Peace, with the Ethics Committee investigating another act of fraud. Santos is accused of filing for unemployment benefits while working. Santos may end up living at the expense of New York taxpayers in prison. Vanity Fair and Wikipedia have both done their best to catalog the long list of lies, deceits, and frauds that Santos has committed on his rise to prominence in Congress, with his criminal activities followed by The New American. A book titled "The Fabulist: The Lying, Hustling, Grifting, Stealing, and Very American Legend of George Santos" by Long Island reporter Mark Chiusano is due to be released in November, detailing Santos's low political corruption record.

Forbes: Elon-Zuck Cage Fight Showcases Emerging Trend In Sports Started By Jake Paul
Influencers competing in traditional sports is a new trend designed to attract large viewing audiences using stunts to leverage their social media following and promotional reach. The sports fan experience is being compromised, as popularity and fleeting fame take precedence over genuine athletic achievement. The future of sports could be even more sensationalist with the proposed Elon Musk versus Mark Zuckerberg cage fight being the latest example of this trend.
Forbes: Legalized Sports Gambling In U.S. Puts College Athletes At Risk
Sports betting is booming in the US, with an estimated $226bn wagered in the past five years alone. However, with easy access to social media and athletes being prohibited from engaging in this form of betting, there is a potential threat to the athletes from fans and even bookmakers, who resort to intimidation and threats. College athletes and their coaching staff are particularly at risk, with the NCAA imposing strict limitations on gambling activity, while institutions promote gambling to fans. As a result, athletes can face serious fines, legal exposure, or lose eligibility to participate if they run afoul of the NCAA guidelines against gambling.
To tackle this growing issue, universities and sports leagues need to be aware of the problem and provide resources to help our athletes cope with these challenges. The state regulators have the power to create rules and punish offenders but with these activities controlled by states, offenders banned in one state may escape to another. Broader, national coordination may be necessary if we are seriously attempting to remove offenders from the system. While there are no easy solutions, developing anonymous “hotlines” for athletes and other members of the sports community to report threats, comprehensive educational programming, and protecting athlete and staff privacy by reviewing publicly available information are some first steps.

Flag And Cross: Stone Tools Reveal Evidence Of Cannibalism 1.45 Million Years Ago
A new study suggests that humans' close evolutionary relatives were cannibals who were eating each other at least 1.45 million years ago. Researchers found nine cut marks on a 1.45 million-year-old left shin bone from a relative of Homo sapiens, which could indicate evidence of cannibalism. This is considered the oldest instance of such behavior known with a high degree of confidence. There are numerous other examples of species from the human evolutionary tree consuming each other for nutrition, but this fossil suggests that our species’ relatives were eating each other to survive further into the past than we recognised.
The cut marks on the fossilised tibia, were made by stone tools and identified as a “clear match” for the type of damage inflicted by such tools, the earliest evidence of human relatives butchering and likely eating one another. While the identification of the remains suggests cannibalism, there is not enough evidence to make that determination because cannibalism requires that the eater and the eaten hail from the same species. The fossil could be a trace of prehistoric cannibalism, but it is also possible that it was a case of one species chowing down on its evolutionary cousin. One other fossil, a skull found in South Africa in 1976, has previously sparked debate about the earliest known case of human relatives butchering each other.

Tropical storm Cindy weakened after reaching peak intensity of 60 mph. Some gusty winds and rough seas should be anticipated, particularly along coastal locations east of the storm’s center, and across Atlantic Canada. The strong wind shear, typical for this time of year, will prevent the formation of any new named storms across the Atlantic this week. In the East Pacific, Wednesday or Thursday look like the most likely days for a tropical system to develop, with a second storm possibly arriving later in the week.

Flag And Cross: Robot Vacuums And Other Gadgets Strip Life Of Meaning, Experts Warn
Experts suggest that household gadgets, such as autonomous vacuum cleaners, take away from life's meaningful experiences and strip away a source of fulfillment. Researchers found that people feel a sense of satisfaction when completing household chores and using autonomous products eliminates that feeling. The study, published in the Journal of Marketing, identified "meaning of manual labor" (MML) consumers who reject autonomous products due to the importance of manual labor as a source of meaning in their lives. The researchers suggest that companies emphasize alternative sources of meaning in life, such as family time or hobbies, to counteract the negative effect on autonomous product adoption.

The Federalist Papers: Even Environmentalists Furious About Biden's Intrusive New Green Initiative: 'Do It Where You Live'
Environmental activists are pushing back against Biden's "carbon capturing" policy, which entails capturing carbon emissions and storing them underground. Some are worried about the proximity of the emissions to black communities and high cancer rates in the region, while others fear it will embolden fossil fuel companies. Additionally, some are concerned about how the underground gas bunkers will affect infrastructure, and others see it as an experiment. This initiative is making it clear that even environmentalists are divided on Biden's green policies.
The Blaze: Environmentalists slam Biden admin's carbon-capture initiative in Louisiana's 'Cancer Alley' — fear 'experiment' could pose health risks
Environmentalists and concerned residents in Louisiana are opposing the Biden administration's initiative to support carbon-capture projects that would store emissions underground in some Louisiana communities. The area, known as "Cancer Alley," already has high cancer rates attributed to the concentration of petrochemical plants and refineries located near schools and churches. The oil industry has supported the initiative, referred to as CCS, as it allows them to continue making money without reducing their carbon footprint. The EPA has held meetings to hear from concerned residents and ensure primacy application reflected essential environmental justice and equity considerations. However, residents remain skeptical of the initiative and its experimental nature.
