Ron’s Reads 7/24

Friend,

With so much going on in the world, there are a lot of articles and commentary below that I wanted to share with you. They provide insight on the crisis at our southern border, attacks on pro-life policies, threats from China and more.

While my colleagues and I push for common sense solutions to the problems we face, Speaker Pelosi and Democrats in Washington continue to advance their extreme agenda under one-party rule.

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

A few reads to recap the week…
“China, which has equally sized reserves to the U.S., has tapped only 7.4 million barrels of its own stockpile while our emergency supplies are shipped to Beijing.”
READ THE ARTICLE
“What did Planned Parenthood purge? A sentence that read, ‘Treating an ectopic pregnancy isn’t the same thing as getting an abortion.’”
READ THE ARTICLE
“Doing its best to bury the news, Team Biden released the latest border-crossing numbers Friday night: June saw 207,416 illegal migrants “encountered,” the fourth straight month over 200,000; it’s exceeded 150k for 16 months now. By the administration’s own estimates, 4 million have come in under President Joe Biden, plus another 800,000 who made it without getting intercepted.”
READ THE ARTICLE
“Los Angeles Unified School District has adopted a radical gender-theory curriculum encouraging teachers to work toward the ‘breakdown of the gender binary,’ to experiment with gender pronouns such as ‘they,’ ‘ze,’ and ‘tree,’ and to adopt ‘trans-affirming’ programming to make their classrooms ‘queer all school year.’”
READ THE ARTICLE
“This week, Massachusetts Democratic senator Elizabeth Warren escalated her war on crisis pregnancy centers. These pro-life charities not only help women in poverty choose life instead of abortion, but they also help women after babies are born — providing clothing, diapers, housing assistance, and more. Warren wants to ‘shut them down all around the country’ on the grounds that they purportedly spread ‘disinformation’ about abortion.”
READ THE ARTICLE
“Chinese investors were the most active buyers of US real estate last year among foreigners — spending a record $6.1 billion on homes mainly in Florida and California, according to the National Association of Realtors.”
READ THE ARTICLE
“Several individuals connected to a 2016 Hillary Clinton campaign plot to cast Donald Trump as a covert Kremlin collaborator are working in high-level jobs within the Biden administration – including at least two senior Biden appointees cited by Special Counsel John Durham in his ‘active (and) ongoing’ criminal investigation of the scheme, according to recently filed court documents.”
READ THE ARTICLE
“U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) failed to record the domestic addresses of nearly one third of illegal migrants released into the country, according to a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Inspector General report obtained by The Washington Free Beacon.”
READ THE ARTICLE
“The Associated Press reported that U.S. Army officials said this week that they will be 10,000 recruits short this year, and next year is projected to be even worse. The report said that Army Gen. Joseph Martin, vice chief of staff for the Army, indicated that the military branch could be down to 445,000 soldiers by the end of next year, down from what it was hoping would be 476,000 soldiers by the end of this year.”
READ THE ARTICLE
“The Biden administration’s ‘new guidance’ to hospitals declaring that abortions must be provided in emergencies seeks not to clarify the law but to provide pro-abortion forces a way to skirt state law while pushing several lies to further the false narrative that overturning Roe v. Wade endangers women’s lives.”
READ THE ARTICLE
“The precipitous drop in migrant prosecutions illustrates President Joe Biden’s break from prior administrations’ policies toward illegal immigration. Refraining from bringing criminal charges against the vast majority of individuals entering the country illegally also provides evidence for critics who say the White House is exacerbating the migration crisis on the southern border.”
READ THE ARTICLE
“A family in Florida drove into a major problem after buying a used electric vehicle: the replacement battery for their dead car wound up costing more than the used car was purchased for.”
