DAVID HARSANYI — The left likes to treat skeptics of electrical cars as if they were Luddites. Truth is, making an existing product less efficient but more expensive doesn't really meet the definition of innovation. Even the purported amenities and technological advances EV makers like to brag about in their ads have been a regular feature of gas-powered vehicles going back generations. At best, EVs, if they fulfill their promise, are a lateral technology.... (more)

PETER LABARBERA — A powerful new Twitter video put out by Senate Republicans blames the Biden administration for 85,000 missing illegal migrant children and, in effect, creating "the largest child-trafficking ring in U.S. history." The short video contains several Capitol Hill remarks from Republican Senators connecting Biden to the hordes of missing children who are unaccounted for despite being placed with American sponsors. Above the video it states: "Over 85,000. That's how many children are missing under Joe Biden. He has created the largest child trafficking ring in U.S. history."... (more)

MICHAEL BRESCIANI — This author has reviewed 15 movies over the last twenty years. I was sure that I would be reviewing “Sound of Freedom” only minutes after viewing it in our local theater. It was the first time in my life I have ever seen a movie theater completely sold out. Not a single seat was empty, and no one dared to speak or make a sound. They were transfixed by the horror, and the sheer inhumanity displayed by a pack of perverts with the morality of a nest of cockroaches.... (more)

WORLDNETDAILY — The modern world has been unable, so far, to effectively rid itself of the scourge of child trafficking. It's been especially noticeable in the United States in the last few years. WND reported the U.S. has become, under the leadership of Joe Biden, a de facto "middleman" in a massive "child trafficking" scheme.... (more)

THE POST MILLENNIAL — President Donald Trump met with Hollywood legend Mel Gibson backstage during UFC 290 on Saturday night in Las Vegas. This meeting was hot on the heels of the inspiring success of the anti-child trafficking film 'Sound of Freedom' at the box office. Gibson has been a major promoter of the movie. "One of the most disturbing problems in our world today is human trafficking and particularly the trafficking of children," Gibson said recently in promotion of Sound of Freedom. In fact, Jack Posobiec said that "Tim Ballard claimed Mel Gibson had some input on the final edit of Sound of Freedom."... (more)

NEW YORK POST — For anyone who hasn’t stepped outside in the past few days, it is the early days of summer, and it is—appropriately—hot. Or as the perpetual climate geeks are saying: It’s the hottest it’s ever been within the last 120,000 years! After what’s been an unseasonably cool May and June all over the Southwest, we’re told that because it’s now much warmer than in previous early Julys, there’s reason for alarm. “Some scientists believe July 4 may have been one of the hottest days on Earth in about 125,000 years, due to a dangerous combination of climate change causing global temperatures to soar,” huffs The Washington Post....

JERRY NEWCOMBE — Some people discount America on a mistaken belief that it was founded on slavery. They ignore the fact that the founders created a constitutional provision (in Article 1, Section 9, Clause 1 of the Constitution) that ensured slavery would be uprooted one day; and it was, at a cost of about 700,000 men who died in the Civil War—57 years after the slave trade ended in 1808 in consequence of the Constitution's Article 1, Section 9, Clause 1....

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....

LIFESITENEWS — Sound of Freedom, the groundbreaking movie about rescuing children from the global sex-trafficking industry, debuted as the #1 movie in America on its opening day, July 4. The movie stars Jim Caviezel as former Homeland Security agent Tim Ballard, who quit his job a decade ago in order to rescue innocent children trapped in the horrific underworld where up to two million children around the world are bought and sold for sex to depraved adults....

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.

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)
