Ex-DHS chief Wolf accuses Biden admin of ‘crisis by design’ at the border, calls for new leadership
Former acting head of the Department of Homeland Security, Chad Wolf, will testify at the House Judiciary Committee’s immigration subcommittee hearing, condemning the Biden administration’s handling of the southern border crisis.

The administration defends their policies, but numbers show that the crisis at the southern border is deepening.


Breitbart: DeSantis' Video Deflates Democrat Claims of Migrant 'Kidnapping'
DeSantis' Video Deflates Democrat Claims of Migrant 'Kidnapping'
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis flew a group of migrants from Biden's open border to California and released a video of them expressing gratitude for the voluntary transfer, debunking Democrats' claims of exploitation. The transfer flights are in line with DeSantis' new law pressuring illegal migrants to leave Florida. California Attorney General Rob Bonta is leading an investigation into DeSantis' flight, but DeSantis has embarrassed Democrats before by doing the same thing in September 2022. In California, where the migrants have been transferred, they receive services, programs, legal counsel, and health care to ensure they can attend their asylum hearings. Democrats are accused of giving unprecedented benefits to illegal immigrants who will compete for jobs and housing needed by actual Californians.

Disney Works to Destroy the Values That Built Its Company
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has implemented the Parental Rights in Education Act, which prohibits instruction regarding sexual orientation and gender identity in public schools for K-3 and 4-12 grades. The act is designed to ensure that parents teach their children about sensitive issues which they believe public school bureaucrats should not handle. Disney has sued DeSantis over this act, stating that it is a challenge to basic human rights and public schools should have the right to teach young children about sexual orientation and gender identity, regardless of a parent’s disapproval. The act of Disney reflects the current trend in the country to destroy traditional family values.

Chris Christie criticized Jared and Ivanka Kushner, calling their "grift" breathtaking. Despite his faults, Christie is a powerful communicator. He has woven the issue of the Biden family's millions from shady foreign sources into the argument, striking a populist note and showing Republican primary voters that he's not just in it for friendly fire.

O'Donnell Suggests Thomas Be Impeached For Allegedly 'Selling' Himself
MSNBC host Lawrence O’Donnell suggested that Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas should be impeached for “selling too much of himself” to billionaire Harlan Crow. During an interview with Michael Waldman, it was essentially admitted that their biggest problem with the Court is that it rules in ways they do not like. Waldman’s new book, The Supermajority: How the Supreme Court Divided America, discusses the Court’s extreme and partisan rulings. In Waldman's view, the Court is grabbing power and veering in one direction while the country is moving in another action .


The Blaze: House conservatives exact revenge against McCarthy for capitulating to Biden on debt ceiling deal
House conservatives exact revenge against McCarthy for capitulating to Biden on debt ceiling deal
Republicans in the House Freedom Caucus are upset with Speaker Kevin McCarthy for making a deal with President Biden on the debt ceiling crisis, which they believe violated a power-sharing agreement made with conservatives to win the speakership in January. Consequently, they blindsided Republican leaders by temporarily sinking legislation to protect gas stoves. Rep. Matt Gaetz said they took down the rule because they're frustrated at the way the House is operating. Rep. Dan Bishop said House conservatives want to enforce the agreement they reached in January under which Kevin McCarthy assumed speakership. The conservative caucus has not yet decided whether to initiate the motion to vacate to remove McCarthy.

Forbes: A Word From The Architects On Housing: Size Does Matter
A Word From The Architects On Housing: Size Does Matter
The cost to build affordable housing using Low Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC) is consistently high, with some projects in California costing up to $1 million per unit. Inflation in building materials, regulation changes, sustainability legislation, and difficult jurisdictional approval are all contributors to these costs. Building smaller but still livable units could help reduce costs and create more housing for those in need, but state-level standards limit the size of units. The design community can help respond to market demands, but federal action is needed to change the incentive structure of the LIHTC program and address housing affordability issues.

Breitbart: Saudi Arabia Could be Re-Exporting Russian Oil Products to the EU - MEP
Saudi Arabia Could be Re-Exporting Russian Oil Products to the EU - MEP
Belgian MEP, Marc Botenga, has suggested that Saudi Arabia may be selling diesel to the EU at a major markup, potentially undermining the bloc's sanctions on Russia. The EU has implemented a ban on Russian oil and oil product imports, causing the cost of petrol and diesel to rise across the bloc, while Saudi Arabia is buying up Russia's diesel on the open market and then selling its own diesel to the EU for a large profit. Botenga has queried whether some of the Saudi diesel could have originated in Russia and has asked the European Commission if officials were aware of a difference between the price paid by Saudi for Russian diesel imports and EU imports from Saudi.

Forbes: Potential Antitrust Investigation Into PGA-LIV Merger Could Be Boon For National Security Interests
Potential Antitrust Investigation Into PGA-LIV Merger Could Be Boon For National Security Interests
Antitrust regulators may use the proposed LIV Golf and PGA Tour merger as an opportunity to investigate Saudi business interests. The Hart-Scott-Rodino Act requires companies of certain size to submit paperwork and relevant documents to the federal antitrust agencies prior to a merger. If materials submitted raise concerns, the Department of Justice or Federal Trade Commission may inquire further. The merger is likely to spark a Second Request for Information as it would create or strengthen a monopoly in golf, and potentially lessen competition in the industry. This investigation could also provide insight into the financial structure of LIV Golf's payout, including its relationship with the Trump Organization, with possible national security implications.

The merger could lead to an uncomfortable merger review process for senior management, although LIV Golf and PGA Tour may abandon the merger or structure it differently to avoid Hart-Scott-Rodino filing. If the proposed merger goes forward, it may mark the start of a new chapter in the unusual legal saga involving the two golf associations. Though not generally a review of national security, the investigation into competitive conditions may lead to further disclosure of the financial structure of LIV Golf and its payout structure to tour operators, such as the Trump Organization. There is a possibility that regulators may not file a Second Request for Information, but that would be unlikely in this case.

Economy Is in 'Precarious State' as New Hazards Loom, Warns World Bank
The World Bank has lowered its growth forecast for the US due to new hazards and the effects of the pandemic, Russia's invasion of Ukraine, and high inflation. The report predicts the US economy will slow "significantly" this year and into 2024, with next year's growth forecast being halved. The consumption rate, which has been "resilient," is expected to decrease due to higher borrowing costs, tighter financial conditions, and depleted savings, among other factors. The World Bank also warned of new threats to the economic outlook, including inflation remaining high and policymakers needing to be "exceptionally agile" to cope with risks.

Chu also hopes that the increased work requirements for SNAP benefits will be repealed, as she believes the program provides a necessary amount of sustenance for those who are struggling.

Bank of Canada Ends Pause, Hikes Key Rate to 4.75 Percent—Highest Since 2001
The Bank of Canada raised interest rates by 0.25 percentage points after a four-month pause, citing an economy that is still too hot. The Canadian economy grew 3.1% in Q1 of 2023 and annual inflation has risen to 4.4%.

The bank also reiterated its expectation that inflation will come down to about 3% by mid-year and is closely monitoring inflation, wage growth, and company pricing behavior to achieve its target.

The Corner: The Service Academies Are Falling to Leftist ‘Education’
The military academies have become politicized, promoting leftist beliefs in their curricula. The focus on "grievance studies" lacks academic rigor, but is being embraced by civilian and military leaders advancing "divisive progressive social justice ideologies." These institutions are being repurposed to turn out officers reflecting the anti-American collectivism of the Left, with even the Naval Academy offering a course on "gender studies."

BBC Is Biased 'On Occasion,' Says UK Culture Secretary
The UK Culture Secretary admitted that the BBC has exhibited bias but didn't provide specific examples during her appearance at the Culture, Media, and Sport Committee. Media monitoring group News-Watch reported that out of 1.7 million complaints made between 2017 and 2022, the broadcaster upheld only 126. The committee asked about alternative ways of funding the BBC, apart from licensing fees, as the number of households with TV licenses has decreased by 1.2 million since 2017 to 2020. There were also questions regarding ex-BBC Chairman Richard Sharp's appointment, which has led to an inquiry into the appointment process. The secretary also commented on BBC presenter Gary Lineker's controversy.

Doctors Forced to Ration Life-Saving Cancer Treatment Drugs Amid Shortages in US
An increasing number of drug shortages are affecting patient care, with many cancer patients unable to access life-saving treatments and medicines in the US. The Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs report noted that shortages, including those of prescription medications, are lasting longer and affecting more patients, with the number of new drug shortages increasing by almost 30% between 2021-22. The average drug shortage lasts about 1.5 years, with more than 15 critical drugs in shortage for over a decade. The FDA is currently consulting with the Chinese maker, Qilu Pharmaceutical, to temporarily import a version of chemotherapy drug cisplatin, which is not yet FDA-approved, and is considering importing carboplatin, another drug in shortage.

Brown rice vs. white rice: Nutritionists settle the great food debate
Nutrition experts weigh in on the age-old debate of white rice versus brown rice. While brown rice contains more fiber, which can improve metabolic health, and is a whole-grain option, white rice can still provide a lot of nutrition when enriched. Enriched white rice can be a good choice for athletes because it is easier to digest and can quickly help replenish glycogen. Nutritionists suggest incorporating both brown and white rice into your diet in different ways to meet nutritional needs. Other types of rice, such as red and black, also contain beneficial nutrients and antioxidants.

Biden officials explored cracking down on gas stoves earlier than previously known, emails show
The Biden administration has been considering the regulation of natural gas-powered stovetops for over a year, according to internal communication obtained by Fox News Digital. The four-member Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) was actively exploring legal justifications for regulations on gas stoves in June 2022, expressed in a follow-up meeting on 17 August. The CPSC later denied drafting mandatory standards to regulate gas stoves, and instead, it is working on voluntary standards activity with various American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) and ASTM representatives. The Department of Energy also introduced its own regulations on gas stovetops in February, slated to come into effect in 2027.
