Fox News: Pence lobs shot at DeSantis over Disney battle: He's following 'footsteps of the radical left'
Former Vice President Mike Pence criticized Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis for waging a war with Disney, claiming that it was an affront to American principles and a step away from free market principles. DeSantis has been actively pursuing conservative policies and protecting children's education and parental rights, but Pence believes that he risked billions of dollars of investment and thousands of jobs with his actions. Pence added that conservatives can either be for politically motivated government intervention in the private sector or against it. The physician of the American soul must resist the temptation to put what is popular over what is wise.
Governor Ron DeSantis vowed to deputize state and local law enforcement to enforce immigration laws as part of his border policy. However, Pence criticized him, saying that he has turned his back on the principles that make the country great. Pence claimed that Democrats abused their power and the constitutional order to serve their agenda and punish foes. He pointed out that hitting businesses where it hurts, the pocketbook, is the best way to change their behavior. Pence concluded that Republicans do not need to abandon their principles to win; they simply need leaders with the courage to speak hard truths while having faith that the American people will rally to their cause.
Fox News: Trump heard on tape discussing classified document
Former President Trump discussed classified documents in a leaked recording obtained by news outlets. The recording reveals a conversation Trump had with aides in which he seems to be holding a Pentagon document detailing plans to attack Iran. The former president referenced Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Gen. Mark Milley, who he said had provided a plan of attack for Iran through the Pentagon. This relates to .
The leaked tape appears to conflict with Trump's statements to Fox News on June 19, in which he told Bret Baier that he had not shown anyone a "document." The Tuesday recording also includes Trump discussing his authority to declassify documents, which was a central piece of his defense in earlier accusations on the issue. A Trump spokesperson responded to the leaked tape arguing it proves that Trump committed no crime. This relates to .
The Economist: As Britons grow more unhappy with Brexit, what happens next?
Britons are expressing increasing regret over leaving the EU, with polls consistently showing a margin of up to 60-40% in favor of remaining. Disappointment with the impact of Brexit, including economic damage, has led around 20% of Leave voters to say they would now support Remain, but few people want to reopen the divisive issue of EU membership. However, there are calls to soften the hard Brexit deal signed by Boris Johnson and strengthen ties with the EU in areas such as security and defense co-operation, scientific research, and mobility, with Labour leaders advocating various ideas for closer relations.

National Review: The Corner: New Data Show Large Abortion Reductions Post-Dobbs
The Society of Family Planning's project released updated data on abortions in the US since the Dobbs decision in June 2022. The data indicate that pro-life laws are saving lives, causing a 24,000 decrease in abortions from July 2022 to March 2023. However, there are concerns about the accuracy of the data, particularly the 90,810 abortions reported in March 2023, which make little sense given the protective pro-life laws in place in many states. Pro-lifers may need to wait for CDC and Guttmacher data to have a better sense of the incidence of abortion post-Dobbs.

American Thinker: Two short videos perfectly sum up the climate change scam
The Earth's climate has been changing for centuries, long before humans had any industrial abilities. The history of the Bronze Age collapse and the Black Death were both influenced by climate change, with no human agency involved. The Little Ice Age waned at the end of the 18th century and allowed for modern fashion. The coming natural cooling cycle presents more of a risk than warming. While a slightly warmer world might be human-friendly, the Left's agenda aiming for carbon neutrality by 2050 ignores real climate science and will enrich China at America's expense.
Flag And Cross: North Korean Hackers Focused On Espionage, Report Reveals
North Korea's focus on cyber espionage and information collection outweighs financially motivated cybercrimes, according to a report by Recorded Future. Over 70% of the 273 attacks linked to North Korean state-sponsored groups analyzed by the company were driven by the goal of information collection, with government entities being the most frequent targets. Although North Korea also engaged in high-profile cryptocurrency heists, Anne Neuberger, President Joe Biden‘s deputy national security adviser for cyber and emerging technology, said about half of the regime’s missile program is financed through such crimes. This shifts perceptions of North Korean hackers solely pursuing financially motivated cybercrimes and cryptocurrency heists.

Flag And Cross: Amazon Shares Show Resilience Amid Market Correction
Amazon shares show resilience in the aftermath of the Federal Reserve's June policy announcement, with options data indicating significant open interest accumulation at the $130 Call strike and higher open interest accumulation at the $125 Put strike, indicating traders consider it to be the first line of support. However, major news breaks or macro events can lead to significant shifts in stock prices and open interest numbers, meaning that there is no guarantee these levels will hold.
Breitbart: White House: 'Pollsters Are Not Asking the Right Questions' About Biden's Economic Policies
White House Council of Economic Advisers Chairman Jared Bernstein responded to President Biden’s poor economic approval ratings, saying pollsters aren't asking the right questions. Bernstein suggests that asking people about specific components of Biden's economic programs, such as broadband investment, getting rid of non-compete clauses, and making hearing aids more affordable, would provide different results. He highlights the importance of government sectors working together to deliver for the American people.
Forbes: Nic Brathwaite At Celesta Capital Is Bullish On CHIPS And Science Act
Nic Brathwaite, Founding Managing Partner of Celesta Capital, is bullish on the worldwide semiconductor industry. Brathwaite explained that Celesta has three investment themes: technology platforms that enable mass technology proliferation, technologies that transform and upgrade existing technology platforms, and technologies that sit at the intersection of high-tech and biotech, which Brathwaite calls “bioconvergence.” Brathwaite believes that semiconductors are critical to the global economy, with the percentage of a country’s GDP enabled by semiconductors being huge and growing. Celesta has invested in numerous semiconductor startups, with several of them having been successfully exited.
Brathwaite sees U.S. investment in domestic semiconductor manufacturing as a natural because it would create many high-paying jobs in the U.S. and represents a solid investment for the future. However, he believes the U.S. government can be even more innovative when it comes to supporting domestic semiconductor manufacturing. For one thing, says Brathwaite, the U.S. government could take queues from the VC community and provide non-diluting, side-by-side funding with VCs. Celesta’s investments clearly align with Brathwaite’s bullish opinions about the U.S. CHIPS and Science Act. If semiconductors are a strategic asset, then the U.S. government needs to help ensure that the country retains that asset. Regular consultations with experts in the VC community such as Brathwaite and semiconductor company CEOs could provide the U.S. government with far more insight into the complicated ecosystem that the global semiconductor industry has become, and drive better strategic investment decisions going forward.

Breitbart: Top Hollywood Talent Agent Unloads on Meghan Markle Following Spotify Split: 'Not a Great Audio Talent, or Any Kind of Talent'
Hollywood talent agent Jeremy Zimmer publicly criticizes Meghan Markle's lack of talent and the failure of her $25 million Spotify deal with Prince Harry. (,) The couple's lack of content production has led to public criticism from both the entertainment industry and Spotify executives, with some accusing Markle of faking podcast interviews and trying to trade her fame for fortune.

Spectator USA: Glamorous is prestige TV’s first post-woke show
The Sex and the City reboot, And Just Like That..., remains heavily woke in its second season, with gender-nonbinary characters and quota-filling black characters. However, what's missing is Kim Cattrall as Samantha Jones, who has moved on to starring in Netflix show Glamorous. Glamorous follows make-up-loving, brown-skinned zoomer Marco Mejia, played by Ben J. Pierce, who is portrayed with actual dimensionality. Instead of forcing viewers to accept him, Marco already accepts himself, and his makeup is about power, not gender. Glamorous offers a much-needed window into the emotional components of gender fluidity that leaves viewers cheering for more.

The WTA has announced a plan to achieve pay equity at its major tournaments by 2033, pledging to provide long-term growth for the women’s game.

The American Spectator: Fox News Feeds Its Viewers More Junk Food
Fox News reshuffles its hosts after Tucker Carlson's departure. Sean Hannity stays at 9 p.m., while Laura Ingraham moves to 7 p.m. Jesse Watters shifts to 8 p.m. and Greg Gutfeld enters the primetime lineup at 10 p.m. Critics suggest Fox needs more substantive programming to anchor its shows rather than "junk food" content.
Forbes: Selena Gomez Ends Miley Cyrus' Historic Winning Streak On The Billboard Charts
Selena Gomez's collaboration with Rema, "Calm Down," has reached the No. 1 spot on Billboard's Radio Songs chart despite not releasing any new music lately. The song's climb comes as a significant milestone for Gomez as it's her first No. 1 on the specific and important ranking. Although "Calm Down" is originally performed by Nigerian musician Rema, Gomez's addition to the track transformed it into a duet, expanding its reach and amplifying its popularity.
The song's popularity also dethroned Miley Cyrus, who had been dominating the Radio Songs chart with her single "Flowers" for 18 weeks. "Calm Down" has also returned to its peak position of No. 3 on the Hot 100 chart, but it faces tough competition from other popular hits like Morgan Wallen's "Last Night" and Luke Combs' "Fast Car" to claim the top spot. This achievement marks Rema's first chart-topping track and Gomez's ninth top 10 hit.
