PJ Media: The Morning Briefing: James Comey Unwittingly Makes the Case for Trump 2024
Former FBI Director James Comey warns of a "retribution presidency" by Trump in a recent interview with Jen Psaki. Comey believes that Trump could order investigations and prosecution of individuals he sees as enemies, despite the fact that such actions describe Biden's first term. Comey's lack of awareness is evident in his response, unwittingly endorsing a second Trump term. As the head of the FBI during the Russia collusion hoax, Comey should be sweating a Trump return to the White House for his involvement in derailing Trump's candidacy and presidency.

American Thinker: What We Want but Can Never Have
Gender dysphoria is characterized by a persistent, insistent feeling about one's gender being different from one's biological sex. Many trans ideologues believe that there is an internal sense of gender that is separate from biological sex. However, there is no evidence supporting such a claim, and this phenomenon seems to be more of a dissatisfaction with one's body that can be experienced for a wide variety of reasons. The important thing is how people come to terms with the unattainable things they want in life.
As someone who has always dreamed of being a rockstar but cannot sing a note, the author offers an experience that is analogous to gender dysphoria. While similarly persistent and insistent, the author's desire for a musical talent was more of an unattainable longing, rather than a genuine confusion about identity. The author has accepted that this is a physical limitation and has moved on, focusing instead on their many other talents. It is not the longing itself that is unique to gender dysphoria, but rather the way people come to terms with the things they want but cannot have.
American Thinker: It’s Not Reparations Being Demanded; It’s Something Quite Different
The idea of paying reparations to black Americans for slavery and Jim Crow is a complex one. Who would be paid and who would pay? Should descendants of slaves who are better off now than if their ancestors had stayed in their home countries even be entitled to reparations? It seems that black Americans are far better off than those who live in the countries from which their ancestors were taken. So, is it really reparations that is being demanded or is it revenge?

Euromaidan Press: Dam of Kakhovka hydropower plant significantly, but not fully, destroyed – Ukrainian Army Spox
Russian forces have caused significant damage to the Kakhovka Hydroelectric Station in Ukraine, but it is not completely destroyed. The explosion was caused by an internal detonation and the aim was to halt the Ukrainian counteroffensive. The Russian forces hope to increase water levels downstream to prevent the Ukrainian defense forces from advancing, although it is unclear how this will affect the counteroffensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Overall, the citizens in the west bank of the Dnipro in Kherson Oblast will have their conditions alleviated due to the shift in position of the Russian troops caused by flooding.
Foreign Policy: 6 Swing States Will Decide the Future of Geopolitics
Six middle powers in the global south – Brazil, India, Indonesia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, and Turkey – now have more agency in geopolitics than at any time since World War II due to long-term historical developments and recent global trends. Those six swing states are less powerful than the US and China but are major fence-sitters on Russia’s war in Ukraine and are regional leaders. Swing states’ power is enhanced by the leverage they gain from the competition and confrontation that increasingly characterizes US-China relations; each superpower wants the swing states to align with it creating opportunities for swing states to play one off the other.
The growing importance of these six states can be grouped into two buckets: long-term, historical developments and more recent global trends. Regarding the first bucket, developments since the Cold War have given these powers more agency in international relations. The Cold War entailed a stricter separation into opposing blocs, which pulled in some of today’s swing states. The subsequent era of US unipolarity necessitated some fealty to Washington by almost all states. In the global north, they include France, Germany, Japan, Russia, South Korea, and others. These six swing states are now well-positioned to mediate other conflicts. The most important policy implication is that Washington needs to up its game towards the six swing states in order to prevent the significant weakening of the US position in the global power balance.

Fox News: 'Little Mermaid' remake condemned for 'erasing' slavery in the Caribbean: 'Borderline dangerous'
Disney's live-action "The Little Mermaid" has been criticized for not acknowledging slavery in its 18th-century Caribbean setting. Marcus Ryder, the chair of the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, praised the movie for casting a Black actress as Ariel, but called out its omission of slavery in the film. He stated that "it is anti-racism at work on a deep level" to have a Black actress as the leading heroine, but ignoring slavery in the Caribbean is problematic. Ryder compared the film's failure to acknowledge slavery to setting a love story between a Jew and a Gentile in 1940s Germany and ignoring the Holocaust.

American Thinker: D-Day, History, and Memory
: World War II was a people’s war, with over 15 million Americans serving in the armed forces. D-Day saw the initial landings of 175,000 Allied troops, of whom around 4,400 were killed or missing, and inflicted around 9,000 casualties on the German forces. However, the war was won at home, through the enormous production effort of American factories and farms. America's victory accomplished the liberation of France, Belgium, Holland, Denmark, Italy, Poland, Greece, Yugoslavia, Norway, and other nations, as well as the Western Civilization and the freedom of Europe.
Fox News: D-Day: Everything you need to know about the historic World War II battle
: D-Day was the largest seaborne invasion in history, marking the beginning of the Battle of Normandy in June 1944. The mission of Operation Overlord was to liberate Europe from Nazi control, and it was successful despite thousands of Allied deaths. The origin of the "D" is uncertain, but it may refer to "departed day" or simply the letter "day" used in military code to signify the start of an operation. Paris was liberated at the end of August 1944.
