Ron’s Reads 12/11

Friend,

The 117th Congress is coming to a close, and so is Nancy Pelosi’s Speakership. Still, a lot is happening in DC and around the world. Here are some articles you might have missed over the last week, including a fun article from right here in Kansas. We try and provide mostly free articles, but sometimes some sites may require a subscription.

Before you read this week’s articles, I hope you’ll consider making a contribution to my team today or forwarding it to a friend so that I can continue delivering this weekly news roundup to your inbox.

A few reads to recap the week…
“President Biden flew to Arizona Tuesday to give a 16-minute speech at a computer-chips factory, but said he could not visit the nearby US-Mexico border amid record illegal immigration because he had ‘more important things’ to do.”

“The prisoner trade of WNBA player Brittney Griner for terrorist arms dealer Viktor Bout is a significant political victory for Vladimir Putin. The Russian president has won the one-for-one swap of a Russian intelligence agent convicted of conspiring to kill Americans for a WNBA player who, even Russia admits, was simply carrying a small amount of cannabis oil on her person. The immediate benefits for Putin are twofold.”
READ THE ARTICLE
“New Twitter owner Elon Musk gave reporter Matt Taibbi of Substack access to internal Twitter documents about the social media platform’s decision to spike the Hunter Biden laptop story and about how “the Biden team” had a direct pipeline to Twitter executives.”

“As with everything else in this country, investment is polarizing, red vs. blue. Just on Dec. 1, the red state of Florida announced that it was divesting itself from BlackRock, the multi-trillion-dollar Manhattan-based money trust that has gone woke.”
READ THE ARTICLE
“The Associated Press Stylebook, a style and usage guide used by news organizations, forbade the use of the phrase ‘late-term abortion,’ and many on social media found its decision to be politically motivated.”
READ THE ARTICLE
“That same bill essentially argues that opposing same-sex marriage is akin to opposing interracial marriage, an act of bigotry. It provides no explicit bar on removal of tax-exempt status from religious institutions. It does not protect religious individuals in their daily lives.”
READ THE ARTICLE
“Now, illegals are easily hopping over the border wall from Mexico and disappearing into traffic while being filmed by drivers on a Texas state highway. According to Fox News, more than 73,000 illegals have evaded Border Patrol agents in November.”
READ THE ARTICLE
“The recent developments during the Chinese Communist Party’s Congress this fall should serve as a wake-up call to the international community. Despite decades of efforts to bring China into the family of nations, it has become clear Beijing will continue down the path of authoritarianism and increased global aggression. As Chinese President Xi Jinping secured an unprecedented third term, his endgame is to be de facto emperor for life.”
READ THE ARTICLE
“A federal appeals court has permanently blocked the Biden administration’s bid to force doctors and insurers to perform or pay for gender-transition procedures even if they object on grounds of conscience and medical judgment, with the court basing its decision on constitutional protections of religious freedom.”
READ THE ARTICLE
“Kelly Truby and Liz Roberts’ Trinity Academy fifth-grade students spent the past two weeks making gingerbread versions of well-known buildings and attractions in Wichita. They included Century II, the Sedgwick County Courthouse, Koch Arena, Friends University, the Orpheum Theatre, Riverfront Stadium and Nifty Nut House to name a few.”
