Red State: Congressional Democrats' Surprise Opposition to Biden's Border Security Approach
President Biden's visit to Arizona and New Mexico focuses on conservation and protection of natural resources, but critics argue that border security must also be addressed.

The allocation of funds to New York City over Texas raises questions about resource distribution, while ongoing border concerns divide congressional Democrats.

American Thinker: End birthright citizenship now
Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) introduced legislation to end birthright citizenship for children of illegal aliens. The current interpretation of the 14th Amendment has allowed pregnant women from around the world to come to the U.S. to give birth, leading to a phenomenon known as "birth tourism." The U.S. is an outlier compared to other countries, and ending blanket birthright citizenship would be a more sensible approach. The practice provides no tangible benefit to the country and only benefits illegal aliens and those who exploit them.
Front Page Magazine: Mexico Finds Compound With Massive Human Trafficking Operation

National Review: Are Republicans Really Tiring of the Wokeness War?
The New York Times/Sienna poll shows that Republican voters prioritize the candidate who focuses on law and order over one who targets woke ideology. However, this false binary fails to acknowledge that Republican candidates are committed to both. The poll also reveals a libertarian streak among Republicans on economic issues. The recent case in Loudoun County, where a school district covered up sexual assault incidents in the name of social justice, illustrates the dangers of radical ideologies that undermine individual liberty and safety. This case should serve as a reminder that the fight against "wokeness" and fighting crime are not mutually exclusive.

The New American: Will the Fed End Trump? - The New American
Senator Schumer warned that the intelligence community has ways to retaliate against those who antagonize them. The Federal Reserve, another secretive government institution, can manipulate the money supply and interest rates, affecting the economy. Presidents often pressure the Fed to implement policies aligned with their administrations, but they don't always comply. Trump accused the Fed of favoring Clinton in 2016, and Biden is likely to receive preferential treatment, as he respects the Fed's independence. If Trump had pushed for an audit of the Fed, he could have prevented interference in his campaign.

Spectator USA: How old is Meghan Markle... really?
Meghan Markle has been accused of lying about her age, with claims that she is actually older than she says she is. A YouTube video and court documents filed by her sister suggest that Meghan was born in 1977 instead of 1981. While Meghan's book gives her birthdate as August 31, 1981, there is confusion surrounding the age gap between Meghan and her siblings.

Harris's defenders claim that she faces baseless attacks, but critic Alice Stewart points out her failures on the border crisis and election reform. Harris's supporters argue that she faces criticism because she is a black woman, but this doesn't explain her low approval ratings, as she was rejected in the 2020 Democratic primary by women and black voters. Democrats relying on identity rather than substantive debate may be a problem for Harris in the future.

These effects can lead to mental health issues, including depression and suicide. Peterson argues that the combination of overprotective parenting and a culture that encourages perfectionism and denies objective truth creates a recipe for disaster.

Spectator USA: The demise of online dating
The rise of "date-me docs" is a cultural phenomenon among techies, signaling a desire for a return to a wordier, more cerebral style of online dating. These dating profiles are jargon-heavy and cater to specific subcultures within the digital community. Matchmaking apps and "wife bounties" have also gained popularity, reflecting a desire for marriage within one's own network. Dating app fatigue is a real issue as the problems between the sexes go deeper than just being tired of apps. There is a growing sense that things are broken with masculinity, femininity, and demographics. Influencers and online communities amplify discontent and create a sense of segregation between the sexes. "Femcels" have emerged as women also struggle with romance. Unrestricted access to the internet has exposed individuals to negativity and extremes, leading to a souring on online dating. The future of dating, whether it's through date-me docs or real-life interactions, remains to be seen.

The American Spectator: The Coldest War: Geopolitical Struggle in the Arctic
The melting ice in the Arctic Ocean has opened up new trade routes, leading to a geopolitical battle between the United States, China, and Russia. The U.S. Coast Guard is at a disadvantage with fewer ships capable of navigating the frozen sea, putting America's Arctic interests at risk. Russia and China could gain economic benefits from controlling the North Pole, making the region highly attractive for shippers. The U.S. has responded by strengthening its polar position, including establishing a diplomatic outpost in Norway. The lack of icebreakers is a concern for American national security, but the possibility of encroachment on exclusive economic zones seems unlikely. Russia and China are more economically tied to the Arctic, making icebreakers essential for their interests. NATO can play a role in Arctic security, allowing the U.S. to focus on other critical regions. However, rising global tensions and temperatures are putting the geopolitical struggle on thin ice.

Boating Magazine: The Top Traits Of A Marine Starting Battery | Boating Mag
Marine starting batteries are essential for reliably starting your engine. There are three types: Flooded, AGM, and Gel, with AGM and Gel being more durable and low-maintenance. Flooded batteries need to be kept fully charged and housed in vented compartments. AGM batteries can be charged faster, but require temperature-sensing, voltage-regulated chargers. It's important to use a separate "deep-cycle" battery for onboard electronics to avoid draining the starting battery. Modern "hybrid" designs, like Odyssey's Extreme and Performance series, offer deep-cycle reserve power and potent starting power. Look for marine-specific design and construction, including materials that resist corrosion and extreme vibration.
