A Scientist Said Her Research Could Help With Repatriation. Instead, It Destroyed Native Remains: Federal agencies have awarded millions of dollars to scientific studies on Native American human remains, undermining the goals of NAGPRA as tribes fight for repatriation.

# Border / Immigration / Migrants
Federal judge deals major blow to Biden administration with ruling on immigration policy: The Biden administration was dealt a major blow in its efforts to control the ongoing border crisis on Tuesday when a federal judge blocked a rule introduced in May that makes migrants ineligible for asylum if they have entered illegally and failed to take advantage of expanded lawful pathways set up by the federal government. He found the rule is “both substantively and procedurally invalid” and has delayed his ruling from taking effect for 14 days to give the administration time to appeal.

Immigration doesn’t drive up crime rates and this study proves it: The study by Stanford University researchers found evidence that immigrants haven’t contributed to increased crime rates in the US over the past 140 years. In fact, first-generation immigrants haven’t shown a higher likelihood of imprisonment compared to individuals born in the US at all

How the Ultrawealthy Use Private Foundations to Bank Millions in Tax Deductions While Giving the Public Little in Return: It’s a simple bargain: The rich get huge tax breaks by donating art, property and company shares to benefit the public. But some donors collect millions while offering little or no public access.

Addressing Tax System Failings That Favor Billionaires and Corporations: Biden’s Build Back Better plan addresses key failings of the U.S. tax system that let the wealthy and corporations avoid paying their fair share; Congress can and should do even more. For years, many policymakers have decried the tax code as being slanted against working people. They now have a rare opportunity to fix it, with a mandate from and the strong backing of the American people.

How the Wealthy Save Billions in Taxes by Skirting a Century-Old Law: Congress outlawed tax deductions on “wash sales” in 1921, but Goldman Sachs and others have helped billionaires like Steve Ballmer see huge tax savings by selling stocks for a loss and then replacing them with nearly identical investments.

IRS dodging oversight after destroying 30 million records: Lawmakers investigating reports the IRS destroyed tens of millions of taxpayer records say the federal tax agency is not cooperating with the investigation. They argue the agency has “willfully ignored” their request, which dates back to last year. The inquiry comes after a Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration report showing the IRS destroyed roughly 30 million taxpayer documents in 2021.

# Education / Schools
School district woes likened to ‘environmental racism’ in Flint, Mich: Flint, Michigan’s catastrophic public health crisis collided with an economic downturn, systemic racism. All 13 school buildings in East Ramapo received a failing rating in a recent state-mandated survey. General Motors took its plant off the Flint water supply because the water was corroding engine parts. It was more than a year before anything was done for the 100,000 people living in the city, approximately 30,000 of whom were children.

The Nightmare of American Public School Teaching: Moral injury is driving teachers out of the profession. Here’s how to help them stay. Becoming a teacher to help students, only to be forced to participate in a system that fails them at every turn, creates moral injury.

Based on the Biden administration’s new interpretation of Title IX, schools could only keep federal funding for basic student assistance programs like free or discounted lunches if they began: *Imposing gender pronoun policing;
*Permitting biological males to compete in female sports; *Permitting biological males to use female restrooms and locker rooms; and *Assigning dorms based on gender identity, rather than on biological sex.

# Energy / Pipelines / Mining
New Taxes on Oil and Gas Could Cause Economic Pain in Alaska and Across America: As the Biden administration escalates its crusade against American energy, perhaps no state has more to lose than Alaska, where the oil industry and its tax dollars are responsible for up to a third of the state’s economic output and a quarter of its jobs.

Mining companies are eager to dig up the ocean. That’s a dangerous idea: We already know the damage that mining can cause on land. It could be devastating to the deep sea. It’s a cruel irony that renewable energy, at least at this point of technological development, is thought to require nonrenewable deep-sea minerals, pulled from ecosystems we know so little about. But we can’t protect our planet by destroying it, nor can we mine our way out of the climate crisis.

Ocean Depths Targeted for Mining Are Rich in Complex and Unknown Marine Life, Scientists Find: Like the dry land on the surface of our planet, the ocean’s depths are made up of a variety of terrain, from plains and canyons to volcanic seamounts. Scientists believe there are as many as
10 million undiscovered marine species living on the ocean floor.

McCarthy: Biden case will ‘rise to impeachment’ as 16 Romanian payments allegedly went to ‘shell companies’: Biden notably boasted in 2016 how he told then-Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko to fire a prosecutor looking into Burisma. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy predicted Republicans will gather enough evidence soon to mount an impeachment inquiry against President [sic] Biden, as the corruption scandal enveloping him and his son Hunter continues to grow.

Using Ukraine as Cannon Fodder: Ukrainians are disposable in the quest to ‘weaken Russia.’ Potentially tens of thousands of Ukrainians have died in the counteroffensive, which produced no sizable gains for Kyiv. In reality, neither HRVP Josep Borrell nor the US President Joe Biden said: “Ukraine is our army.” HRVP Borrell said in his Munich speech that the EU should be quick in providing Ukraine with weapons to help it stand up to Russian aggression https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://euvsdisinfo.eu/report/eu-us-and-nato-use-ukrainians-as-cannon-fodder__;!!On18fmf1aQ!xyFLd3JVPFR1VSZUevQTi-WPSzmyKJX_DFP3Vk9wpWb8aWW9UefAY_7xVKL6F_Q7_StA60iZYkfvu3dUbglF4ODgigoWGsaN$

Coup 2024 already underway: Democratic law firm argues mail boxes ‘unsecure’ for voting, in suit pushing for ballot drop boxes. Marc Elias, whose law firm filed the lawsuit, advocated for states to switch to mail-in voting because of the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020. In a lawsuit to overturn a Wisconsin Supreme Court ruling that concluded ballot drop boxes are illegal, a Democratic election law firm is now arguing that U.S. Postal Service mailboxes are in fact “unsecured.”

Hunter Biden Plea: Four Key Questions Before ‘Sweetheart’ Deal Court Hearing: Hunter Biden, in June, agreed to plead guilty to two misdemeanor tax charges and enter into a pretrial diversion program that will allow him to bypass prosecution on a separate felony gun charge. However, the plea deal process may have gotten much more muddy after a Tuesday afternoon clash between the attorneys for the younger Biden and a top House Republican seeking to introduce IRS whistleblower testimony to the court docket.

The Overwhelming Evil of the Global Slave Market: The latest Jim Caviezel movie, Sound of Freedom, is absolutely riveting. Everyone should see it. Brilliantly done. Stay thru the credits as Jim then speaks to the audience. He tells us, once you know it is happening, you must work to stop the evil. Jim asks the audience, “Can we love God’s children more than we fear evil?” “The Sound of Freedom brings this truth to light,” said Bob Unanue, President and CEO of Goya Foods, and Executive Producer of Sound of Freedom. Goya Cares, inspired by the movie, is a global initiative dedicated to combating child trafficking and educating on child mental health.
