GB News: Labour confirms exact date private schools to be charged 20% VAT
Private schools in the UK are facing a tax shake-up, losing their VAT exemption and hit with an additional 20% tax by January 2025. This move aims to level the playing field, funneling funds towards hiring teachers and addressing the mental health crisis among students.
The government's stance is that fairness prevails, making private institutions pay their dues like any other business. With this crunch, fees might spike mid-year, leaving parents scrambling to keep up.
Fox News: The growing threat behind Biden's Supreme Court proposal
President Biden aims to reform the Supreme Court after announcing his exit from the race, pushing for term limits and ethical standards. Critics warn these moves threaten judicial independence and a shift towards a partisan Court, undermining civil liberties and the Constitution.
With 91% of Americans valuing an independent judiciary, the call for court-packing and other reforms faces public backlash. Protecting the integrity of the Supreme Court is seen as vital to maintaining the rule of law and safeguarding cherished freedoms.
Fox News: Historian who predicted almost every election since 1984 reveals who is likely to win in Trump-Harris matchup
In a tight political showdown, Vice President Kamala Harris appears to hold the edge over former President Trump according to Allan Lichtman's "Keys to the White House." Currently, Democrats have six keys in their favor, with a total of 13 questions determining the likely victor in 2024.
The race hangs on a few key factors: the third-party effect, social unrest, and military outcomes are yet to be decided. Lichtman believes Harris's position is strong, but losing three keys could flip the forecast.
Human Events: ARI HOFFMAN: On Israel, Kamala Harris’ talk is cheap
Vice President Harris skipped Netanyahu’s speech for a sorority gathering, opting to dodge contentious optics. Her response to violent pro-Hamas protests was lukewarm, reflecting division within her party, where Democratic voices fell silent while Republicans rallied unity.
Harris's late support for Israel amid hostage crises raises eyebrows, as she previously criticized the state. She now faces backlash from progressive factions, and her past advocacy for rioters complicates her narrative. Can she reconcile her party's base with a firmer stance on terrorism?
The Western Journal: Michelle Obama Drops Celebrity-Packed Election Ad Just Days After Backing Kamala Harris
Michelle Obama trots out a star-studded cast of leftist celebrities to push Americans to register to vote, just after her lukewarm endorsement of Kamala Harris. The ad, heavy on awkwardness, implies support for Harris while Obama urges voters to prepare for the looming election.
Despite the cringe, the ad signals the deep, organized machinery backing the Democrats, challenging Republicans to stay vigilant against complacency, even in the face of an unpopular vice president.
Human Events: Nicolas Maduro declares himself winner of Venezuelan election in disputed vote
In a tight race, Venezuelans voted as the shadow of Nicolás Maduro loomed again. The electoral authority claimed a narrow victory for Maduro, but opposition voices, including Maria Corina Machado, cried foul, alleging he lost by a landslide.
The world watched with suspicion, demanding transparency while Maduro hinted at external meddling. The specter of democracy in Venezuela remains warped as international calls echo for a genuine reflection of the people's will.

The American Mind: Campus Radicalism
The college radicals of today, like their sixties counterparts, rally under a fervent anti-American banner, believing themselves the vanguard of revolutionary thought, often with little regard for dialogue or diverse opinions. They are conditioned for revolt, spurred on by sympathetic faculty and an academic environment steeped in activism.
As history shows, such movements have roots in both idealism and an unsettling potential for violence. The current zeal for chaos mirrors prior eras, suggesting that today's protestors may follow a similar path toward extremism if unchecked.

Bidders went wild despite the controversial paint jobs and the deteriorated interiors. Social media users had a field day critiquing the aesthetics of these high-priced clunkers.

Human Events: AMY EILEEN HAMM: It’s essential that our children ‘touch grass’
Summers at Graveyard Lake brought a sense of peace away from technology, where simple joys and nature thrived. Yet, with death's lessons amid beauty—the bear my grandma shot, the frogs my sons cherished—we learned that life holds both wonder and sorrow.
Now, as my boys explore our backyard, I hope they feel the same connection to nature I once knew, even as the modern world tugs at their shoulders.
The Telegraph: Revealed: The Olympic flame is not made out of fire...but water
In Paris, the Olympics opened with a spectacle: a safe, eco-friendly water-based flame ignited by LEDs and mist, defying tradition. The cauldron floats high, casting magic in the night yet disappointing purists craving the real deal.
Organizers insist it's symbolic, pairing the illusion with a conventional flame nearby, preserving the Olympic spirit against a backdrop of environmental responsibility.

The motives behind Crooks' actions are still under investigation as the FBI scrambles to piece together the timeline and any possible accomplices. Trump plans another rally in Butler but hasn't announced the details yet.
The Western Journal: Olympics Picked Former Pimp With Bus Full of 'B****es' as Honored Torchbearer
In a twisted turn, the Paris Olympics chose rap icon Snoop Dogg, known for his past as a self-professed pimp, to carry the torch, igniting backlash over the celebration of controversial figures over values. This farce mirrors a deeper moral decay in high-profile events.
As the Olympic flame reached its destination, Snoop's history of crime and trafficking only painted a grim picture of the organizers' judgment. Clearly, competence has left the building, replaced by a thirst for notoriety over integrity.
