Townhall: The Land of the Free
As we approach Independence Day, there is a growing chorus of haters focusing on the nation's sins and ignoring its progress. The New York Times' 1619 Project distorted the story of our founding, blaming it on the preservation of slavery. Reuters has also perpetuated the race-based conversation by highlighting the slave-owning ancestors of prominent figures. Both the progressive Left and some on the Right are fostering an anti-American sentiment, but the American voter will reject this. Our Republic has defended freedoms, abolished slavery, and defeated tyrants - we should not bet against America.

PJ Media: Americans Have Never Been Less Threatened by 'Extreme Weather'
Mainstream media outlets falsely claim that extreme heat kills more people in the United States than any other weather hazard. In reality, deaths from extreme weather have decreased significantly over the past century. The Washington Post warns about the dangers of heat exposure without providing actual numbers of heat-related deaths. However, heat-related deaths are much lower compared to deaths from drowning and cold weather. Studies have shown that cold weather is actually more lethal to humans. The National Weather Service's claim that heat is the leading cause of extreme weather deaths is questionable, as the average number of heat-related deaths is much lower than reported by the CDC. Enjoy the summer.

Modelling by Independent Schools Victoria shows that the average impact on students will be $1,155.

The American Spectator: Somewhere Over the Rainbow Flag Flies the Banner of Infinite Inclusion
As Pride Month ends, the original Rainbow Flag that symbolized inclusivity for the LGBTQ+ community has been replaced by the more militant Intersex-Inclusive Progress Pride Flag. Designed in 1979, the Rainbow Flag now includes black and brown stripes to represent other marginalized groups. However, the Infinite Inclusion Flag, a sarcastic take on the never-ending revisions to the Rainbow Flag, has been created, symbolizing the absurdity of the constant need for unique representation.
