Liberty Nation: Border Patrol in Crisis: ‘Help Wanted’
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is facing staffing shortages and low morale among law enforcement personnel, according to DHS inspector general Joseph Cuffari and a report released by the agency. Migrant surges have magnified existing staffing challenges at the border resulting in law enforcement personnel feeling overworked and unable to perform primary duties. This has resulted in more gotaways, drug trafficking going undetected and added danger at the southern border. A recent hearing titled "Help Wanted: Law Enforcement Staffing Challenges at the Border" led members of Congress to question Mr Cuffari on the damaging impact of the crisis.

Senator James Lankford, a Republican from Oklahoma, is known for his conservative and thoughtful approach to politics.

National Review: Pence’s Only Hope: Iowa, Iowa, Iowa
Mike Pence files paperwork to run for president, with an official announcement taking place in Des Moines. It’s a tough road ahead, with Pence and Nikki Haley polling at only 4% while Trump holds a commanding lead with 53% and DeSantis coming in second at 22%. However, Pence is hoping to gain traction in Iowa by highlighting his full-spectrum conservatism and strong record as a social conservative. Pence opposes DeSantis’s attempts to punish Disney in response to the corporation’s opposition to Florida's law banning classroom instruction on sexual orientation and gender identity in public schools. Pence claims the right way to fight the culture war is for parents to rally and for the voice of the American people to speak out, with nothing more powerful than the free market. Pence may face controversy over his 2015 response to the media and corporate uproar over Indiana's Religious Freedom Restoration Act .
American Thinker: The Social Security dilemma
The debt ceiling debate ignores that Social Security is a major contributor to the US deficit and debt; however, the two issues are distinct. Whilst the former is a matter of past spending mistakes, the latter is an issue of future spending imbalances. The long-term financial stability of Social Security needs to be addressed by voters, but in a separate discussion to the current debt ceiling debate (, ).
National Review: Mike Pence’s Leap of Faith
Mike Pence, the former vice president, has joined the 2024 presidential race and is a strong conservative candidate with experience as a congressman, governor, and ambassador to social conservatives during his time working with Donald Trump. He has a deep Christian faith and is a full-spectrum conservative on social, economic, and national-security issues, making him a voice for fiscal sanity and a stark contrast to Florida Governor Ron DeSantis on striking a balance between state self-government and private free-speech rights of business. Despite the obstacles such as the current political environment and heavy competition from other Republican presidential hopefuls, Pence's long-standing commitments, wealth of experience, and moral standing could make him a formidable force in the race.

American Thinker: The tyranny of morality?
Leftist activists view society as oppressor vs oppressed and seek "social justice" through attacking oppressive forces. Emotional policies driven by moral certitude prevail over pragmatic solutions. Moralistic tyranny limits opponents to emotional responses and plays on their guilt and fears. The best recourse lies at a grassroots level to dislodge the political pendulum from becoming enmeshed in leftist ideology.
National Review: The Corner: SPLC: Still Alive and Hating
The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), a "civil rights" group, has added parents' rights groups such as Moms for Liberty to its "hate map", potentially to boost donations, despite multiple scandals involving racism and sexual harassment that led to the firing of most of the group's leadership. The SPLC is facing an unprecedented challenge, with a defamation lawsuit lodged against it for a "hate group" designation and allowed to proceed to the discovery stage. Nothing has ever been revealed about SPLC's internal machinations. Discovery can be expensive so the Dustin Inman Society needs the support of anyone who wants to see some sunlight shed on the SPLC’s shenanigans.

National Review: David Lynch’s Political Surrealism
The documentary Lynch/Oz honors filmmaker David Lynch's connection to The Wizard of Oz via surrealism, but critics' attempts to interpret Lynch's work reveals cultural illiteracy. Lynch's popular TV series Twin Peaks explored psychological undercurrents without politicized polarization. Rather than belittling the 1950s era, Lynch used iconic motifs to subvert middlebrow orthodoxy. Karyn Kusama and David Lowery both commend Lynch's respectful engagement with Oz, recognizing his ability to transport audiences to the future through his surrealist art.

The Federalist: Apple’s New Headset Is Designed To Isolate And Control You
Apple has unveiled the Vision Pro - a powerful headset that creates a digital projection of reality. The headset's isolation capabilities allow users to interact with digital content without disruptions from the outside world. However, the platform's isolating effects contribute to the already increasing anxiety, depression, and deracination that technology is creating in society. The headset amplifies Big Tech's power while increasing loneliness and isolation in modern life. The platform is invasive, monitoring and manipulating the user's behavior and probing thoughts, raising concerns for government surveillance.
Forbes: The Unfocussed Energy Transition
The physical problem with climate change is the difficulty of accelerating investment in renewables, electric vehicles, and/or nuclear, due to constraints in skilled labor and infrastructure. Bottlenecks will delay investment and raise costs, and projected declines in renewable costs will likely prove unrealistic. The human problem centers the tendency of interest groups to take advantage of a crisis to achieve unrelated goals, such as maximizing employment of union workers or avoiding materials from unethical producers, which will lead to confusion, lawsuits, delays, and increased costs.
