The Epoch Times: Supreme Court Rejects Republican Effort to Empower State Lawmakers in Making Election Rules
The US Supreme Court rejected an argument by North Carolina Republicans to give state legislatures exclusive authority to make rules for federal elections in their respective states. The Court's decision against the once-obscure independent state legislature doctrine could undermine voting rights, enable extreme partisan gerrymandering and cause chaos. Conservatives said the doctrine stems from the Constitution's Elections and Presidential Electors Clauses, but the Court found that it doesn't give state legislatures autonomous control over federal elections. The ruling came after the North Carolina Supreme Court — now controlled by Republicans — decided to rehear a case regarding redistricting in the state.
National Review: The Corner: The Trump Audiotape Explains Why He Had to Be Stopped
Donald Trump has been indicted on 37 federal counts related to his removal of classified material from the White House after his presidency. A CNN segment played an interview where Trump revealed both existence and content of classified information. This confirms the recording's authenticity beyond a doubt and shuts down any claim that it was quoted out of context. Trump cries about a witch hunt, but every act in this case was a self-inflicted wound.
The recording is key evidence because it establishes Trump’s awareness that he was knowingly in the business of retaining highly classified information. But this recording also lays the groundwork for obstruction and conspiracy because it immediately eliminates any innocent explanation for his refusal to return them. Legally, we have learned nothing new from the indictment. What we have learned with the new context is that Trump’s need to win an argument or score a point is so all-consuming that he’s willing to whip out classified information that he keeps stored loosely on his desk in order to do it.
Fox News: NYT confirms IRS whistleblower claim about Hunter Biden probe, buries in 21st paragraph of report
Whistleblowers testified to House Republicans that Hunter Biden received preferential treatment by the Department of Justice in his probe, which was confirmed by one of the whistleblowers. The DOJ allegedly prevented charges from being filed against him in California and Washington D.C. The New York Times confirmed the claim buried 21 paragraphs into its article. Attorney General Merrick Garland denied any interference in the investigation. The biggest claim made by the whistleblowers suggests that Hunter Biden allegedly invoked his father in an extortion scheme with a Chinese business associate. The White House Counsel's Office repeated that President Biden "was not in business with his son."
The Epoch Times: Congress Can’t Control Federal Bureaucracy Without First Growing Oversight Staff, Resources: Experts
Congress must expand its authorities, staff, and organizational resources to regain effective oversight and control of the federal regulatory bureaucracy in the executive branch, according to a new analysis by the Foundation for American Innovation. Congress has delegated too much authority to the executive branch, effectively becoming unable to ensure that the will of the American people is respected by the bureaucracy. The authors recommend creating a Congressional Regulations Office with regulatory experts to review and analyze the effectiveness and costs of proposed regulations. They also propose expanding the authority of the Government Accounting Office to review proposed executive branch rules, regulations, and guidance.
The Epoch Times: More Newsroom Resources on the Table Should Meta, Google Block Local News: Rodriguez
The Canadian government's Online News Act requires Google and Meta to pay media outlets for news content shared on their platforms. Meta will comply by removing news from Facebook and Instagram, while Google may remove news from their search engine. Canadian Heritage Minister Pablo Rodriguez is hopeful for a positive outcome with the companies, and says the government will provide necessary resources for journalists if newsrooms are affected.
The Epoch Times: Foreign Interference Review Agency Wants More Access to Secret Federal Documents
The NSIRA, an independent body handling foreign interference allegations in the last two Canadian general elections, is urging the government to release more cabinet documents to aid its probe. The agency received only a "limited number of documents" so far, despite already releasing a report on foreign interference in May. The request follows Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's decision to waive cabinet confidence for the NSIRA and National Security and Intelligence Committee of Parliamentarians involved in the investigation.
Former Supreme Court judge Marie Deschamps, the chair of NSIRA, has requested unredacted access to all Cabinet Confidence documents to maintain the investigation's integrity and evidence base. However, the current documents provided to NSIRA are not "relevant to its review." The NSIRA has been investigating allegations of foreign election interference since 2022, and the findings will be reported to Parliament once completed.
The Epoch Times: House Republican Introduces Amendment to Stop Biden Adminstration’s Washing Machine Regulation
Rep. John Moolenaar (R-Mich.) introduced an appropriations amendment that would prevent the Department of Energy (DOE) from enforcing new energy efficiency standards for washing machines proposed by the Biden administration. Moolenaar’s amendment was added to the Energy and Water Development and Related Agencies spending bill, which was passed on June 22 following a 34–24 vote. Moolenaar said his amendment was a win for clean clothes and consumer choice. #$politics
Earlier this year, the DOE announced that washing machines would be required to use considerably less water to combat the global climate crisis. Some Republican lawmakers criticized the move, and Moolenaar’s amendment aimed to prevent the department from enforcing its regulation. The Energy and Water Development and Related Agencies spending bill also includes provisions related to gas stoves and efficiency standards for new dishwashers. #$environment

Flag And Cross: Putin Tells Troops They Averted Civil War Amid Wagner Rebellion
Russian President Vladimir Putin addressed 2,500 military personnel, praising them for averting a civil war during the recent Wagner mercenary rebellion. The move was widely seen as uncharacteristic of Putin, who up until this week had denied financing the group, although he admitted to paying them $1 billion between May 2022 and May 2023. The Wagner group is reportedly being disbanded and transferring its weaponry to the Russian army, while its members are being asked to sign official contracts with the country's military.
The Epoch Times: Exiled Wagner Chief Lands in Belarus, Putin Says 'Civil War' Averted
Yevgeny Prigozhin, leader of the Wagner mercenary group, arrived in Belarus after halting his soldiers' push towards Moscow and agreeing to leave Russia as an exile. Prigozhin, a long-time associate of Russian President Vladimir Putin, accused Russian military leaders of starving Wagner forces of weapons and supplies during the war in Ukraine while insisting that the push towards Moscow was a “march for justice." Putin labeled those who led the apparent mutiny “traitors” and praised the Wagner soldiers for halting their advance before blood was shed.

Forbes: US Treasury Sanctions Groups With Ties To Gold Dealing To Fund Wagner Group
The US Treasury Department has imposed sanctions on companies funding the Wagner Group, a mercenary army founded by oligarch Yevgeny Prigozhin and accused of human rights violations in Africa and the Middle East. The department's measures targeted four firms and one person it said was linked to Prigozhin. The sanctions are designed to block US transactions with the entities and disrupt Wagner's operations. Prigozhin led a rebellion of Wagner mercenaries last week, but it was a short-lived uprising and the group began withdrawing from Russian cities on Sunday.

Fox News: Kirk Cameron and his book publisher report 'sabotage' against pro-faith parent groups ahead of library event
Actor Kirk Cameron and his publisher, Brave Books, have announced plans for a “See You at the Library” event on August 5, 2023, in an effort to encourage more faith-focused and family-focused events in public libraries across the US. However, the pair claim they have received messages alleging that the American Library Association is circulating guidance about how to halt events such as theirs. Cameron and Brave Books allege that the guidance is designed to stop conservative Christian parents from gathering in libraries on August 5.
The American Library Association is a nonprofit that claims to be the oldest and largest library association in the world, with headquarters in Chicago. ALA promotes libraries and library education internationally, stating that it provides leadership for the development, promotion and improvement of library and information services and the profession of librarianship in order to enhance learning and ensure access to information for all. Public libraries are funded primarily by local governments, with little funding from donations, grants, and federal funding.

Google drops sponsorship of bigoted drag show in San Francisco after Christian employees circulated a petition against it, claiming it was a "direct affront to the religious beliefs and sensitivities of Christians." Google stated the event was removed because it was booked before it was fully approved by the company. Other employees criticized their Christian colleagues' complaints as subjective and feeding into political culture wars. Google claims it removed the event for a different reason.

The Epoch Times: Canada Bans Testing of Cosmetics on Animals, in Line With Dozens of Other Countries
Canada is set to ban animal testing for cosmetic products in December, with the measure making it illegal to use animal testing data to establish product safety for cosmetics. These new regulations will mean Canada falls in line with other countries which have already prohibited the practice. The move will not result in additional costs for brands, as animal testing has been decreasing in popularity among cosmetics manufacturers. Animal testing was banned by the European Union nearly 20 years ago. The hashtag for this summary is .

The Epoch Times: Narcotics Trafficking Expanding Worldwide According to Recent UN Report
The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime has reported record highs of cocaine production and the cultivation of coca bushes worldwide. The number of cocaine users is also rising steadily, with the drug's supply and demand spreading outside established areas in the Americas and Western and Central Europe, to developing markets in Africa, Asia and Southeastern Europe. Meanwhile, methamphetamine trafficking beyond the established areas of East and Southeast Asia and North America is also rising, especially in the Middle East and Africa where Afghanistan is producing the drug alongside illicit opium. The report also highlighted an increase in smuggling cocaine worldwide through South African ports.
A United Nations report shows that synthetic opioids, such as fentanyl, pose a growing risk in the marijuana market in the US. Marijuana laced with fentanyl has been reported, causing increased health risks for those who use marijuana. As state laws make marijuana use less restrictive, synthetic opioids are becoming less restricted in the market too. Methamphetamine and marijuana have also become increasingly popular in the US during the COVID-19 pandemic, replacing opioid use as the consumer's primary drug of choice. The National Center for Drug Abuse Statistics states that 55 million people in the US use marijuana and 45% of the population has tried it at least once.

The Blaze: Georgia couple arrested after their 10-year-old son was found emaciated and weighing what a 4-year-old should
A Georgia couple is accused of intentionally starving their 10-year-old son to death until he was found emaciated and trying to buy food, weighing just 36 pounds. The parents Tyler and Krista Schindley were charged with criminal attempt to commit a felony, cruelty to children, false imprisonment, and simple battery. Prosecutors say that their intent was to make sure he wasn't known by the community and that when he died, there would be no one to even know he was gone. They were foster parents to five children before adopting them, so prosecutors argued against bond for the couple based on the possibility of a flight risk due to their financial gain. The judge denied bond for both suspects.

The case, Counterman v Colorado, examined how stalking laws had changed with the advent of text-based communication, and whether an accused must have had a subjective understanding that their statements were threatening.

The Epoch Times: UFC Fighter Georges St-Pierre to Train Elon Musk for Cage Fight With Mark Zuckerberg
Elon Musk has accepted UFC fighter Georges St-Pierre's offer to teach him mixed martial arts (MMA) ahead of a potential cage match with Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg. Zuckerberg, who has trained in ju-jitsu, accepted Musk's challenge for a cage match and Musk said he would take their clash to the Vegas Octagon. If Musk and Zuckerberg do fight, St-Pierre's training could serve Musk well, with the fighter offering to help Musk compete against his younger and more practiced opponent. UFC President Dana White said he believes the fight would be the biggest ever with the two men "both dead serious" about participating.
The Twitter rivalry between Musk and Zuckerberg started when Musk accused Twitter’s former owners of failing to adhere to free speech principles, leading to his buyout of the social media platform. Musk’s Twitter reign has since come under criticism and scrutiny, with Twitter even losing value and competitors emerging, such as P92 being developed by Meta Platforms, which Zuckerberg co-founded. The rival attitudes have evolved to a cage fight challenge, with Musk accepting Georges St-Pierre’s offer to train him for a potential fight with Zuckerberg. UFC President Dana White believes the fight would be the biggest ever, raising hundreds of millions of dollars for charity, but mostly attracting interest as a spectacle.
