The American Mind: FreeCons vs NatCons
A group of advocates for Freedom Conservatism have issued a Statement of Principles that aims to repudiate the National Conservatism Statement of Principles. The Freedom Conservatism statement emphasizes individual liberty, free markets, and secure borders, but fails to address the threat posed by woke progressive ideology and the need to protect American values and culture. The National Conservatism statement, on the other hand, recognizes the existential threat from revolutionary Jacobinism and cultural Marxism and puts nation, religion, culture, and patriotism at the forefront. The two sides also differ on immigration and civil rights, with the Freedom Conservatism statement advocating for more liberal policies.

Fox News: Iranian foreign minister visits Saudia Arabia following countries' yearslong rivalry
Iran's foreign minister, Hossein Amirabdollahian, visited Saudi Arabia in an attempt to ease tensions between the two countries. Both nations are working towards reopening diplomatic relations and improving regional security. Challenges still remain regarding Iran's nuclear program, the Saudi-led war in Yemen, and waterway security.
The visit marks the first public trip by an Iranian foreign minister to Saudi Arabia in years. The two countries had severed ties in 2016 after protests erupted and Saudi diplomatic posts were invaded. The US withdrawal from the Iran nuclear deal in 2018 and subsequent attacks blamed on Iran have further strained relations. However, recent developments, including the pandemic and the US withdrawal from Afghanistan, have prompted a reevaluation of relations with Iran.

The left is baffled by the sudden rise of Oliver Anthony, who gained popularity with his song criticizing the political elite.

Fox News: House Judiciary subpoenas DOJ, FBI for documents related to alleged collusion with Big Tech companies
The House Judiciary Committee has subpoenaed the Justice Department and the FBI for documents related to its investigation into Big Tech censorship. The Committee is looking into the extent to which the Executive Branch has coerced and colluded with companies to censor speech. The subpoenas require the agencies to turn over responsive documents and communications by September 18.
The House Judiciary Committee Chairman, Jim Jordan, accuses the federal government of pressuring and colluding with Big Tech to censor certain viewpoints, which violates the First Amendment. Jordan claims that the Justice Department's response to the investigation has been inadequate and calls for documents that show the extent of coercion and collaboration between the DOJ and tech companies for censorship purposes.
Fox News: North Carolina Republicans finalize wide-ranging elections bill
The North Carolina legislature, controlled by Republicans, has passed a comprehensive elections bill aimed at making the voting process more efficient. The bill would eliminate the grace period for counting mailed absentee ballots, impose stricter rules on same-day registration, and allow partisan observers at polling places. Supporters argue that these changes are necessary for streamlining election activities and restoring confidence in the voting system. However, Democrats and voting advocacy groups believe that the bill will suppress voting and potentially lead to voter intimidation, especially considering the state's history of racial discrimination.

Forbes: Venezuela Bond Sanctions Backfiring?
The Biden administration may consider lifting sanctions on the secondary market for Venezuelan debt, potentially benefiting President Maduro. The "maximum pressure" strategy of sanctions has failed to bring about regime change and has worsened the economic and humanitarian crisis in Venezuela, leading to concerns about the effectiveness of sanctions in US foreign policy. However, lifting sanctions without reciprocal steps from the Maduro government could be seen as a sign of weakness or naivety, and there are voices calling for harsher sanctions. The US has already lifted sanctions on Russian crude following the attack on Ukraine, and now may be reconsidering the ban on US citizens buying Venezuelan bonds. This could lead to a restructuring of Venezuela's debt and potentially bring non-Western countries into Venezuela's sphere of influence. Negotiations between the Venezuelan government and the opposition in Mexico have stalled, and the US has failed to execute a deal to use frozen Venezuelan assets for humanitarian purposes. The Venezuelan government is also seeking to regain access to its gold reserves stored in the Bank of England. Despite the potential benefits of lifting sanctions for both Venezuela and the US, the Biden administration is cautious and has not offered any concessions to entice the Venezuelan government to the negotiating table. There is a desire among investors and insiders for a return to the symbiotic relationship between Venezuelan oil and US corporations, but sanctions continue to pose obstacles.
Fox News: Germany reneges on pledge to meet NATO spending target: report
Germany has quietly removed a clause pledging to spend 2% of its GDP on defense annually from a new budget financing law, sparking criticism from the U.S. and NATO allies. This means Germany will continue its existing strategy of meeting the 2% target on average over a five-year period. Meanwhile, Israel has secured its largest-ever defense deal, selling a sophisticated missile defense system to Germany for $3.5 billion, which could draw the attention of Russia.
National Review: The Corner: Ilhan Omar’s Double Standard on Foreign Influence

Forbes: AEG Study Predicts A UAW Walkout Could Cost Billions In Losses To Automakers, Workers
UAW President Shawn Fein refuses to shake hands and throws contract proposal in the trash, increasing the likelihood of a strike against automakers. The potential economic penalty could be $5 billion after 10 days, leading to wage and manufacturer losses. A strike would have far-reaching effects beyond the automakers, impacting suppliers, manufacturers, and truckers. The Covid-19 pandemic and the rise of electric vehicles present new challenges, with fewer inventories and high production costs. The shutdown of the auto industry has the potential to affect individual states' GDP, and consumers have other options for purchasing vehicles.

National Review: The Corner: Ian Millhiser Doesn’t Know What the Word ‘Neutral’ Means
Ian Millhiser's analysis of the Supreme Court's decisions on religious institutions is flawed, as he fails to understand the concept of neutrality. In the case of Carson v. Makin, the Court ruled that Maine couldn't exclude religious schools from receiving school vouchers. Millhiser's definition of neutrality seems to involve discriminating against religion, while the Court simply aims to treat religious and nonreligious institutions equally. Thankfully, the Supreme Court interprets the First Amendment using common sense, unlike Millhiser.
