- The Left will use the wildfires and resulting air pollution in NY to fear monger about climate. This is disingenuous.
- Out of control wildfires are predominantly caused by poor forest management that prevents removing dead trees and brush, which in turn become fuel.
- Canada, while busy "leading on climate," has let a manageable problem fester to the point where it is not a crisis.
- The poor air quality is a result of distracted leadership and poor forest management policy; not climate.

- Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas has repeatedly ignored the immigration laws he swore to uphold.
- He has abused the powers of his office through reckless conduct that threatens the sovereignty of the U.S. and risks the safety and security of the American people and the law enforcement personnel of the Department of Homeland Security.
- Mayorkas is overseeing a broadscale suspension of immigration laws and is acting with reckless disregard for the enormous harm done to America’s communities.

- Supreme Court issued a decision Thursday in Allen v. Milligan, which rejected Alabama lawmakers’ 2022 congressional redistricting plan by claiming it violated Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act.
- All of those who understand that racial discrimination should have no part in the political arena, and certainly not in the redistricting process, will be disappointed in the decision.
- Justice Thomas got it exactly right when he wrote in his dissent that this decision, which approves a lower court decision essentially saying that race should have been the predominant factor used by the state legislature in drawing the boundary lines for new congressional districts, lays ‘bare the gulf between our “color-blind” Constitution’ and the ‘consciously segregated districting system being constructed’ by the Court ‘in the name of the Voting Rights Act.’
