NBC NEWS — A formal lab test of the white substance found at the White House on Sunday has come back positive for cocaine, Secret Service spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said Wednesday. It is unclear how long the bag was in the White House. The blurry timeline and the number of people who walk through the area where the cocaine was found could make it difficult to determine who was responsible, an official familiar with the investigation said....

BOB UNRUH — The evidence that is stacking up shows millions of dollars in payments coming from Chinese sources to Biden family members in recent years. There was that infamous megadeal Hunter Biden got with Chinese interests after his father, then vice president, gave him a ride halfway around the world on Air Force Two. There's even been evidence of 10% of one of those deals being held by Hunter for the "big guy," who has been identified by several individuals as Joe Biden.... (more)

JOHN STOSSEL — This week, while we celebrate the work of America's founders, I honor a living freedom fighter: billionaire businessman Jimmy Lai.

THE FEDERALIST — Lost in the breathless headlines over the indictment of President Trump for alleged violations of the Espionage Act is a story that deserves much more attention than it has received thus far: the allegation that a senior official at the Department of Justice attempted to shake down Trump’s co-defendant’s lawyer. It is a scandal in the making that could result in the investigation of senior DOJ officials, which should lead to public congressional hearings, and that might even result in the entire case against Trump being dismissed....

ROBERT SPENCER — On Independence Day, July 4, 2023, the forces of freedom won a major victory, and the Biden regime suffered a historic defeat. May there be many more days like this. The Biden regime is authoritarian to the core. Like every hard-Left authority in the history of the world, it is intolerant of dissent and determined to stamp out all opposition, not by defeating it at the ballot box, and certainly not by besting it in the court of public opinion, but by forcibly silencing it. But on Tuesday, Judge Terry Doughty, Chief U.S. district judge of the United States District Court for the Western District of Louisiana, put a massive roadblock in the way of Biden’s handlers’ ongoing efforts to ensure that only their own perspective can be heard in the American public square....

JUST THE NEWS — Researchers around the world continue documenting potentially severe side effects from COVID-19 mRNA vaccines in certain demographics, but the Food and Drug Administration refuses to label them or even tell recipients the shots can't stop transmission of an increasingly immune-evasive virus. Autopsies and reviews of medical records revealed a much higher incidence of Pfizer and Moderna vaccine-associated heart deaths than officially categorized in South Korean, Japanese and Qatari government registries, particularly in younger people at lower risk from COVID. That echoes a German autopsy study of healthy people who died within 20 days of jabs.... (more)

TOM DEWEESE — When their ship from the Netherlands docked in the harbor of New Amsterdam (now New York City) in 1688, Garrett Hendricks DeWeese and his wife Zytian could not have known of the historic events that would direct the destiny of their future family. Nor could they have known how their future sons and daughters would be central figures in molding those events. Almost one hundred years after Garrett landed on American soil, his descendants joined others in a great struggle to overthrow the oppressive rule of the King of Great Britain. The growing DeWeese family found themselves heavily involved, as some served in the militias while others served in the Continental army and navy.... (more)

The film details Ballard’s work as a special agent to fight against sex trafficking and the child sex trade. They go into depth on the psychology of pedophilia, the nature of good and evil, and how a steady faith in God has guided all three men. Tim Ballard is the founder and CEO of Operation Underground Railroad (O.U.R.), which locates and rescues endangered children victimized by sex trafficking rings. Previously, he accrued a decade of experience as a Special Agent in the Dept. of Homeland Security, working as an undercover op for the U.S. Child Sex Tourism Jump Team.... (more)

THE FEDERALIST — 303 Creative has finally been decided, and Christians — and all Americans — won. In a 6-3 landmark decision on Friday, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that graphic designer Lorie Smith can’t be compelled to affirm values that conflict with her deeply held religious beliefs about marriage by designing wedding websites for same-sex couples....

THE FEDERALIST — Justice Neil Gorsuch offered a straight-fire defense of free speech and religious liberty in the U.S. Supreme Court’s 303 Creative v. Elenis decision on Friday, which represented a major win for Americans’ First Amendment rights. As The Federalist’s Jordan Boyd reported, the high court ruled that the government cannot force Colorado graphic artist Lorie Smith to “make wedding websites celebrating same-sex couples because it would violate her constitutional right to exercise her Christian belief that marriage is between a man and a woman.” The high court further noted that such state-enforced coercion is a violation of Smith’s First Amendment rights....

ROBERT SPENCER — Why is the Biden regime so obsessively preoccupied with promoting sexual deviance and transgender delusion and fantasy? Not only is it aggressively promoting “Pride” inside the United States, but it is also sending your tax dollars abroad to make sure that young Ecuadorians see their fair share of drag queens, and that Polish boys can decide they’re really girls after all. Imagine what George Washington, John Adams, or Thomas Jefferson would make of this: is this really what the republic they constructed and bequeathed to us should be spending its money on?... (more)

JERRY NEWCOMBE — Soon another 4th of July will be upon us. On July 4, 1776, 56 men voted to adopt the final wording of the Declaration of Independence. This was a milestone in history. Today, there is a war on America as founded. Ironically, those who engage in that fight are attacking the very source of their freedom to so engage. If they are successful, they could well find themselves one day the victims of their own actions—akin to proponents of cancel culture getting canceled themselves.... (more)

CLIFF KINCAID — A new Netflix series, “Catching Killers,” looks at murderers caught by law enforcement using police work, fingerprinting, and DNA testing. A program like this, of course, should also focus on the villains in the mass murder of more than one million Americans and nearly 7 million people worldwide who have died from COVID-19. It would be an easy case to solve, but bringing about real justice as a result is a more difficult proposition.... (more)

NEWSMAX — The U.S. Supreme Court on Friday blocked Joe Biden's scheme to stick taxpayers with the tab for some $400 billion in student loans. Biden has wanted to "cancel" student loan debt amounts of $10,000 or $20,000, depending on circumstances, and have taxpayers pay up. But the Supreme Court, in a 6-3 ruling, said no. Fox Business said the justices found the law does not allow the secretary of education to follow through on Biden's plan to cancel $430 billion in student loan debt.... (more)

WORLDNETDAILY — Barack Obama’s presidency was historic. Pundits said it, celebrities tweeted it, and the community organizer from Chicago was not shy about constantly bringing it up. And it was true.

The third term of his presidency under Biden makes him inescapable even long after leaving office. The Biden administration is extending his fundamental transformation of America.... (more)
