The Federalist: Nothing To See Here But A Whistleblower Accusing Biden Of Bribes
The FBI has an unclassified form detailing allegations that current President Biden took part in a bribery scheme with a foreign national. Despite the seriousness of the accusation, the establishment media has shown little interest in investigating it. The FBI has also refused to hand the document over to Congress for review.
American Thinker: FOX News attempts to stop Tucker Carlson from continuing his new Twitter program
Tucker Carlson's lawyers maintain that Fox News breached his First Amendment rights after notifying them that his self-produced Twitter show violates his exclusivity contract. Meantime, critical reviews have emerged praising the man-cave production but noting it lacks the production of his cable series. With over 135 million views so far, it's unclear whether Carlson or Fox News will win a potential legal battle; the end of his show on Fox News led to a drop in ratings on the channel and the looming existential crisis for cable news could see more people turn to streaming services and free content offered on YouTube.
Fox News: Another Biden campaign co-chair has ties to Hunter, asked for his briefing ‘on the Ukraine’
Rep. Lisa Blunt Rochester, Biden campaign co-chair and likely Senate candidate, asked Hunter Biden to brief her on Ukraine in 2016, emails show. Blunt Rochester thanked Hunter for his donation and asked for a briefing, to which Hunter responded that he would be available the following week.

American Thinker: The View’s Destructive Victimization Narrative
Senator Tim Scott, the only black Republican US Senator, was attacked by Joy Behar on The View for not believing that America is “systemically racist”. However, none of the hosts provided evidence of systemic racism, instead resorting to a fallacy of composition. The View did not properly define their key terms and did not engage in a serious discussion. Their emotional personal attacks further disenfranchise young black people, ultimately perpetuating the real causes of black underperformance in the US.

Townhall: The Gift of Life
Abortion is a direct assault on the right to life, which is a gift from God. Roe v. Wade, the Supreme Court decision that legalized abortion in America, has been overturned, but pro-life ministries are still under attack with over 87 reported attacks since the Dobbs v. Jackson decision was leaked. Love Life is a pro-life ministry that serves the local church to raise awareness about abortion in their city, mobilize the body of Christ, and create a culture of love and life that will lead to the end of abortion. The Church needs to be on the front lines of this issue to make a difference.

Foreign Policy: Can France’s Big Bucks Fill the Defense Gaps?
France is set to approve its largest military budget in over 50 years, with the government-sponsored bill bringing military spending to 413 billion euros over the next seven years, an increase of about 100 billion over the previous period. The aim is to reach the 2% of GDP spent on defense target requested by NATO, and critics argue that the money is being squandered on too many projects instead of being focused on the hard equipment needed. The war in Ukraine has demonstrated that wars are won on the ground, and the new reality of a high-intensity conflict on the continent highlights the need for larger, more battle-ready armies.

Fox News: Biden administration under fire for Iran nuke and hostage deal that could net regime billions
The Biden administration is facing backlash for reportedly considering a deal to give $17 billion in economic incentives to Iran, which is the world's top state sponsor of terrorism, to impose temporary restrictions on their nuclear program in exchange for the release of American hostages. Senator Ted Cruz called out Biden for appearing to ignore the steady advancement of Iran towards nuclear weapons, causing concern that the deal could further contribute to Iran's terrorism efforts. Republicans continue to criticize Biden for his approach towards Iran while Democrats hope for a lasting agreement with the nation.
Iran is currently in talks with the United States about a new deal that would see $17 billion in funds being transferred to the nation to stop them from enriching uranium at high levels. A significant sanctions relief package is also on the table, however, Republican opponents have criticized Biden's attempts at reaching a deal with the country and argued that previous administrations such as Secretary Pompeo and President Trump have brought American hostages back from Iranian prisons without spending any reward money. Others worry that this deal could increase Iranian terrorism efforts.

Forbes: Twitter, TikTok, Instagram And YouTube Criticized By Consumer Group Over Misleading Crypto Ads
BEUC has lodged a complaint with the European Commission and national regulators against social media platforms Twitter, YouTube, Instagram and TikTok over the proliferation of misleading crypto ads. The European Consumer Organisation and its member groups claimed that platforms have failed to prevent ads that could unfairly expose customers to risk, citing the fact that despite the risks being well-known, few consumers are properly aware of them. The joint complaint to European regulators also accuses influencers and advertisers promoting crypto products on these platforms of failing to clearly disclose the risks. The move comes amid increased scrutiny of cryptocurrency amid concerns over volatility, scams and deception.

American Thinker: Toyota study shows electric vehicles may be unnecessary to lower CO2 emissions
Toyota has released a study showing that using Eco or EV driving mode on some of its gasoline-powered vehicles can save CO2 and gasoline consumption far more than people realize. The use of these modes demonstrates a significant reduction in tailpipe CO2 emissions. In a comparison of data from cars running in their most efficient mode, Toyota found that collectively, the emission reductions represented $18,304 in fuel cost savings when matched against the national average. The study also found that driving in eco mode in a non-hybrid model sees the most significant benefits, reducing the tailpipe CO2 by 26%. President Akio Toyoda of Toyota has been skeptical of electric vehicles, and this may be the reason why Toyota only offers one fully electric vehicle for sale in the US and is ranked last by Greenpeace in decarbonization.
Fox News: Walt Disney axes 75 jobs at Pixar, including execs behind box office bomb ‘Lightyear’: Reuters
Disney's Pixar Animation Studios eliminated 75 positions, including senior creative team members, in the first significant job cuts at the studio in a decade. Among those eliminated were Lightyear director Angus MacLane and producer Galyn Susman, who had been with Pixar since the release of the original Toy Story movie in 1995. Pixar, owned by Disney, faced backlash for catering to identity politics with its 2022 film Lightyear, which depicted a same-sex relationship and was not viable in overseas markets. Disney had previously announced it would trim 7,000 employees as part of cost-cutting measures.

National Review: The Planet of No Vapes
Milwaukee's planning commission has suggested that vape shops be prohibited from operating within 1,000 feet of elementary or secondary schools, as well as libraries, playgrounds, and day-care centers. Despite Public Health England's declaration that vaping is 95% safer than smoking, governments have been quick to follow suit in enacting stricter regulations, including increasing the age for buying e-cigarettes to 21 and banning the sale of flavored vaping products in certain cities and states. However, critics argue that these regulations are based on hysteria rather than fact and will only serve to punish adults attempting to quit smoking.
