EXCERPT:

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich dropped an interesting X/Twitter post early Sunday morning:

Something interesting and unpredictable is happening around the country. In blue states Republicans are doing unusually well…In Minnesota Republican senate candidate Michelle Lafoya is tied at 47 with Democratic Lieutenant Governor Peggy Flanagan. Hard to believe there is a blue wave coming when states like Minnesota and Oregon are in play. The continued rise of the big government socialist-weird values Democrats seems to be turning off a lot of people even in states that have traditionally been very leftwing.

With the exploding popularity of generative artificial intelligence, many open-source models are now available online for anyone to adapt for their task, such as generating product renderings in a certain artistic style.

But these models also find their way into the hands of nefarious actors who may optimize them to produce illegal content, like hate speech or child sexual abuse material (CSAM). This is a growing problem — the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children received more than 1.5 million reports of AI-generated CSAM in 2025, an increase from 67,000 in 2024.

Sen. Lindsey Graham, the prominent Republican from South Carolina who served in the Senate for more than two decades, died after suffering an aortic dissection, his office said Sunday.

Graham died unexpectedly Saturday night, his office announced, shortly after he had returned to Washington after a trip to Ukraine.

In a statement, his spokesperson said a preliminary report from the medical examiner for the District of Columbia found that the 71-year-old senator died of aortic dissection due to arteriosclerotic cardiovascular disease. With aortic dissection, a tear occurs in the wall of the aorta.

According to the Mayo Clinic, aortic dissection is not very common, and its symptoms may be mistakenly attributed to other health conditions. It usually affects men in their 60s and 70s. If the blood from the dissection travels outside the artery, the condition is often fatal.

President Donald Trump revealed that he spoke with the late Senator Lindsey Graham about passing the The SAVE America Act, a landmark election integrity bill that has been stalled in the Senate for months, just hours after he passed away unexpectedly from a sudden illness.

Trump told host Kristen Welker that Graham called him on Saturday night in the early evening around 7 p.m. Eastern Time. The senator had just returned from a trip to Ukraine, where he met with President Volodymyr Zelensky and toured a Ukrainian drone factory.

“He actually said he was tired, but he wanted to pass the SAVE America Act, and I said, ‘Well, we’re going to get it done, Lindsey. We’re going to get it done. I’ll see you, like, soon,’” the president said.

Physicists have successfully recreated some of the extreme physics of black holes inside a laboratory by building a stationary device that can copy the effects of impossible rotational speeds.The achievement confirms a theoretical idea suggested more than half a century ago by Sir Roger Penrose, who proposed that energy could be taken from a rapidly spinning black hole. Instead of using moving parts, researchers at the Advanced Science Research Center at the CUNY Graduate Center (CUNY ASRC) used artificial rotation to recreate this cosmic energy process in a controlled laboratory setting.The discovery, published in the journal Nature, takes a long-standing idea from science fiction into practical physics. The laboratory model avoids the physical limits of mechanical machines and could help create new technologies in wireless communication, advanced optics and quantum computing.

EXCERPT:

A California federal judge has awarded Hunter Biden $1.7 million in punitive damages in his defamation lawsuit against former Overstock.com CEO and Trump supporter Patrick Byrne.

U.S. District Judge Stephen Wilson had said at a hearing in January that Byrne would face punitive damages after “failing to defend himself” against the claims by the controversial son of former President Joe Biden, Courthouse News Service reported.

The defamation stems from a claim by Byrne that the younger Biden had sought an $800 million bribe from Iran sometime in 2021. Biden sued the former CEO for publicly making that allegation.

Notably, none of the people standing next to the mayor, all of whom clutched small American flags, were white.

The United States and Iran traded some of their heaviest fire since last month’s ceasefire agreement, but the latest round of fighting has exposed just how badly Tehran is struggling to match American firepower.

U.S. forces have landed most of the blows in the latest volley, pounding roughly 170 targets over two days while Iran’s retaliatory strikes on U.S.-linked bases in the Middle East were limited and largely intercepted by air defenses.

The U.S. military said its strikes targeted Iranian military infrastructure tied to Tehran’s attacks on commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz.

Americans’ views on capitalism are split but lean negative, according to a new survey.

Just over half of Americans, 51%, believe capitalism is functioning “not too well” or “not at all well,” while 48% say it is functioning “very well” or “somewhat well,” according to a poll released Wednesday by The Wall Street Journal and NORC Research Center.

On the role of business versus government, respondents are divided but tilt toward wanting more regulation. Forty-five percent agree that America is successful due to respect for free markets and that government interference makes it weaker, while 52% agree that corporations have too much power and government should do more to limit corporate influence through laws, regulation and taxes.

I predict that Canada had 17,700 reported euthanasia deaths in 2025 representing about 5.6% of all deaths and a 7.3% increase from 2024.

I am researching the 2025 Canadian euthanasia data since Health Canada is slow to release data and Canadians have the right to know.

Health Canada’s Sixth Annual Report on Medical Assistance in Dying was released on November 28, 2025 (2024 data). The 2024 data indicated that there were 16,499 reported (MAiD) Canadian euthanasia deaths representing 5.1% of all deaths which was up by 6.9% from 15,427 in 2023.

SCOTUS Didn’t Answer This Question In Women’s Sports Ruling– thefederalist.com

EXCERPT:

The U.S. Supreme Court issued a monumental ruling last week protecting the sanctity of women’s sports from trans-identifying men. That decision, however, left open a loophole exploited by pro-trans activists in their lawfare against policies recognizing biological reality.

In West Virginia v. B.P.J. and Little v. Hecox, the high court upheld (6-3) laws passed by Idaho and West Virginia ensuring women’s sports are reserved for female athletes. Writing for the majority, Justice Brett Kavanaugh ruled that the statutes do not violate the 14th Amendment’s equal protection clause or, in the B.P.J. case, Title IX.

“Consistent with Title IX and the Equal Protection Clause, we hold that the States may maintain women’s and girls’ sports for biological females. They may determine eligibility for women’s and girls’ sports based on biological sex. The Constitution and Title IX do not require an overhaul of women’s and girls’ sports throughout America,” Kavanaugh wrote.

The women’s sports decision builds upon the great work the court did last term when it upheld state laws barring harmful “trans” procedures from being conducted on minors. In that case (U.S. v. Skrmetti), the same 6-3 majority ruled that those statutes do not violate the 14th Amendment’s equal protection clause.

The Netherlands Times reported on March 26, 2026 that there were 10,341 reported euthanasia deaths in 2025 representing 6% of all deaths, an increase of 3.8% from 9,958 in 2024.

Last week, the Netherlands Minister of Public Health, Sophie Hermans, confirmed that at least one child has now died by euthanasia in the Netherlands.

The Netherlands Times published an article on July 3, 2026 concerning a study that has examined the cultural changes that are feeding the increase in euthanasia deaths. The article states:

Lead researcher and healthcare ethicist Els van Wijngaarden of Radboudumc observes that “the euthanasia law has not changed, but its application has.” Last year, cancer was the reason for euthanasia in only about half of all cases. In the late 1990s, this was still 90 percent. Other reasons, like dementia and mental disorders, increased.

Views on end-of-life suffering have changed significantly, the researchers note. Euthanasia is more frequently a topic of conversation, and religious views play an increasingly smaller role.
