Flag And Cross: Winsome Earle-Sears Goes on Live TV and Sets the Record Straight After High School Shooting
Republican Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears brings a breath of fresh air to politics as a black Marine Corps veteran with intelligence, wit and charm. After a shooting outside a graduation ceremony in Richmond, Earle-Sears focused on the role of gangs not law-abiding gun owners. She stressed the need to weed out criminal and gang activities, and hold individuals accountable. Unlike Democrats who seek to blame inanimate objects and demand more gun control, Earle-Sears remains tough-on-crime and preaches accountability. Her messaging is something all politicians should embrace.
Fox News: FBI willing to allow all House Oversight Committee members to view Biden doc alleging criminal scheme: source
The FBI has offered all members of the House Oversight Committee the chance to view the subpoenaed document alleging President Joe Biden was involved in a criminal bribery scheme in a secure location. The 1023 form is said to outline a $5m scheme involving then-Vice President Biden and a foreign national relating to the exchange of money for policy decisions.

The Epoch Times: RNC Rolls Out Campaign to Push Early Voting
The Republican National Committee (RNC) has launched a new campaign urging Republicans to cast their ballots early ahead of the 2024 presidential election. The “Bank Your Vote” initiative will educate Republicans on where, when, and how to cast their ballots prior to Election Day, either through mail-in ballots or early voting at the polls to narrow the gap on pre-election day voting. To achieve those goals, the GOP will spread the word by going door-to-door in cities across the United States and harvesting ballots where legally permitted. The initiative will be spearheaded by Sen. Bill Hagerty (R-Tenn.) and Rep. Byron Donalds (R-Fla.).
The divisions have been clear among the GOP’s 2024 presidential primary field, which continues to grow despite former President Donald Trump’s commanding lead. The Bank Your Vote campaign also comes on the heels of Arizona Republican Kari Lake’s announcement that she will be launching the “largest, most extensive ballot-chasing operation” in Arizona’s history. The practice of ballot harvesting is not legal in Arizona, but Lake advised that her volunteers would work within the confines of the law to ensure as many Republican votes as possible are cast.

National Review: The Corner: The Left’s Clamoring for a Wealth Tax
Leftist politicians push for unrealized capital gains tax on the super-rich, claiming it will make them pay their “fair share”, but economist Richard B. McKenzie argues that such a tax would impair firms’ investment in innovative products, leading to slower growth in workers’ real incomes and retirement accounts, and ultimately hurt non-wealthy stockholders as well. Wealth tax proposal is merely a ploy to get votes from envious voters, with little consideration for the pros and cons or the trade-offs between increased government revenue and its effect on the behavior of those taxed.

Democratic governor of Arizona, Katie Hobbs, vetoed a Republican bill that aimed to ban the filming of pornographic content in public school buildings.

While Republicans argued that the bill would prevent children from accessing sexually explicit material, Hobbs and other Democrats rejected it, stating that it was a thinly veiled attempt to ban books and could lead to censorship of classic works, such as "1984," "The Great Gatsby," and the Bible. Republicans have criticized Hobbs’ veto.

People who feel they may be affected are asked to monitor their financial transactions and contact their bank to report suspicious activity.
