Breitbart: Brawl in Japanese Parliament as Left-Wingers Use Violence to Block Immigration Bill
Left-wing lawmakers in Japan's Diet used physical violence in an attempt to block an immigration bill aimed at faster deportation of foreign nationals illegally staying in Japan. The bill passed the upper house despite the chaos caused by the violent protests. The Japanese government has claimed that a growing number of people are abusing the current process to remain in the country indefinitely, long after their appeals for refugee status have been rejected, leading to swifter deportations as an alternative to lengthy detentions in holding facilities while endless applications and appeals are processed.

Flag And Cross: ‘Greater Idaho’ Movement Gains Another County - If the Current Map Doesn’t Scare Oregon Libs, Nothing Will
Crook County, Oregon, will participate in advisory balloting next May as part of the Greater Idaho movement, whose website claims the current Oregon-Idaho line is outdated. Voters in 13 counties within Oregon have voted on becoming part of Idaho, and supporters cite reasons such as a lack of rural representation, high taxes, and mismanagement of forests. Any change to the state line would require approval from both Oregon and Idaho's legislature, as well as Congress. (, )
Red State: Watch: Near-Disaster Unfolds During Joe Biden's Trip to NC, Even Jill Looked Tense
Joe Biden's recent public appearances have revealed concerning signs of confusion and forgetfulness. During a military event at Fort Liberty, First Lady Jill Biden had to search for the President, who was not at his designated spot, causing a sense of tension. During other events, he was seen mumbling incomprehensibly, misidentifying people and objects, and appearing lost and unsteady. These worrisome symptoms suggest that he may be struggling with significant cognitive decline, raising doubts about his ability to continue in office.

The Epoch Times: Republicans Unveil Major Tax Cut Proposal
House Republicans have introduced three bills aimed at reducing taxes and creating jobs. The trio of bills includes the "Tax Cuts for Working Families Act," "Small Business Jobs Act," and the "Build It in America Act," all of which focus on providing relief to American households against inflation, bolstering small businesses and bringing back critical supply chains, as well as creating job opportunities. However, the Democrats have already expressed their opposition to the proposed tax cut, which will only worsen the deficit.
The proposal has yet to be assessed for its estimated budgetary impact, but Republicans have constructed a tax package that is likely to "blow a massive hole in the deficit." However, if the Republican bills do not become law, they will establish bipartisan negotiations on a possible year-end tax deal, which is something Democrats want too. The three bills are designed to build on the Trump-era tax cuts, with some of the tax cuts set to expire in 2025.
Daily Wire: Special Counsel Jack Smith Is Trying Trump’s Document Case In Florida. Here’s Why.
Former President Donald Trump has been indicted on 37 charges of allegedly classified documents in the Southern District of Florida, becoming the first former president to face a federal indictment. The former president's defense attorney, Gustavo Lage, says that special counsel Jack Smith indicted Trump in Florida to avoid the appearance of bias and “forum shopping.” Many Republicans accuse Smith of politically targeting Trump, but Trump may have received a favorable break as the judge in his case is Aileen Cannon, whom Trump appointed to the bench in 2020. Todd Blanche, a former federal prosecutor in New York, has been selected to lead Trump's defense.
Foreign Policy: China Wants to Set Up a Spying Post in Cuba
China may be collaborating with Cuba to build an electronic eavesdropping facility that could enable Beijing to spy on the US. The Wall Street Journal reports that the proposed Cuban base could monitor a range of communications from roughly 100 miles off Florida's coastline. Sources familiar with the project believe that China has paid the Cuban government several billion dollars to fund its construction. Cuban and Chinese officials denied reports over the proposed spy base, but several media outlets have since backed up the Journal's reports which prompted the top Democrat and Republican on the US Senate Intelligence Committee to issue a joint statement calling Biden administration to prevent any national security threats.
Donald Trump has been indicted on 38 counts over more than 100 classified documents found in Trump's custody after he left the office. If found guilty, he will be the first former US president to be charged with federal criminal charges. Trump is accused of withholding national defense information, concealing the possession of classified intelligence and making false statements. He has denied the allegations and will appear in a Miami court on Tuesday. The indictment comes as the Ukrainian counteroffensive is apparently underway following an invasion of Russia’s occupying forces in southeast Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhia city.
Fox News: Trump indictment ridiculed by ex-Reagan DOJ official, citing prosecutor's McDonnell, Edwards case failures
Former Chief of Staff in Ronald Reagan's Justice Department, Mark Levin, suggests that the Special Counsel Jack Smith's indictment of former President Donald Trump, although 37 counts long, is lacking key parts that are usually included in such indictments that involve classified information mishandling. The indictment does not include evidence that suggests that Trump destroyed or substantively mishandled classified information. Levin argues that Special Counsel Jack Smith over-prosecutes certain types of cases. For example, he points out that the DOJ under Smith's tenure convicted then-Virginia Republican Gov. Bob McDonnell of honest services fraud and illegally accepting gifts before a higher bench stepped in.
Levin asserts that Smith's indictment lacks the strength it needs to damage the then-defendant's career because Smith must have been "desperate" to find proof that Trump actually intended to destroy classified documents. Hillary Clinton destroyed 30,000 sensitive or classified documents and remained unindicted, despite possessing a private server in her home. Levin seems to believe that indicting Trump instead of Hillary Clinton will damage the Republic in the long run. An incumbent president has successfully succeeded in punishing his successor and chief rival.
The Federalist Papers: Mark Levin Goes Ballistic Over Latest Trump Indictment, Calls it an Insurrection
Conservative commentator Mark Levin has expressed deep concern over the indictment of former President Donald Trump, which he sees as an attack on both Trump and the Republican Party. He argues that the charges of conspiracy to obstruct justice are evidence of a coordinated effort by the White House and the Democratic Party to dismantle their political opponents. Levin accuses the government of interference in the democratic process and characterizes the ongoing proceedings against Trump as a war against the Republican Party. The indictment of Trump has sparked outrage among conservatives, who fear that this could set a dangerous precedent and further polarize the nation.

The Blaze: California law would punish parents who don't affirm gender choice of their children

Breitbart: Sen. Marco Rubio: Shein 'Uses Fabric Linked to Uyghur Slave Labor'

Skilled Survival: Survival Gold & SHTF Silver - Get Some Before The Crash
Investing in survival gold and SHTF silver is a good way to protect wealth in times of crisis, as they have always held value throughout history. Gold and silver are rare and durable metals, used for jewelry, tool making, spacecraft plating, and as a hedge against inflation. However, the legality of owning precious metals can vary, and in times of crisis, their value may be dubious. Gold and silver should be viewed as a means of diversifying an investment portfolio, but trading with them should be done with caution, as in a lawless world, they can be more of a liability than an asset.

Next week the US government is due to release the latest monthly updates on inflation at the consumer and wholesale levels and the Federal Reserve will announce its latest move on interest rates.

Amanda Agati, chief investment officer of PNC Asset Management Group, believes that a recession is coming, and while it will be modest, she is concerned that the stock market is overpriced and inflation is too high .

Newsbusters: My Plan for the Transgenders
Transgender athletes want to compete with girls without being bullied, with the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) speaking out against anti-trans Republican policy. However, there could be a simple solution to the issue, as when women first began competing in sports, there were some who wanted to compete against male athletes. Ultimately though, most female athletes settled for competing against other women in a separate category to men and those who wished to compete in between genders could create their own new category. Transgender activists’ resistance to such an idea makes it possible that the real issue is a desire for controversy and attention.

Fox News: MT gas plant to resume construction after judge reverses climate-based permit suspension
NorthWestern Energy will continue construction on a Montana gas plant along the Yellowstone River despite concerns over emissions, after a state judge reinstated the project's permit.
