A win for women’ sports activities, the UN’s recycled lies on – Latest News
Supremes watch: A Win for Girls’ Sports
To see “why the U.S. Supreme Court’s June 30 decision in two cases preserving fairness in girls’ and women’s sports is so important, look to California,” argues USA Today’s Ingrid Jacques. There, a transgender athlete “won two track and field state championships in late May — no surprise, given the inherent advantages biological men have over women in athletics.” Trans athletes challenged legal guidelines requiring they compete below their delivery intercourse in two states, Idaho and West Virginia; the Supreme Court discovered that states are free to go such legal guidelines and thus shield women from the unfairness and security dangers that include having to compete in opposition to the reverse intercourse. “Biological reality matters, and the Supreme Court acknowledged that by allowing states to do what’s right.”
From the proper: Walz Foreshadowed DSA’s Rise
“Many Americans,” even these “who only casually follow politics,” are questioning, “Just how radical exactly is today’s Democrat Party?” observes David Deavel at AMAC, and the “legacy” of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz “may provide an answer.” A new movie about Walz known as “Minnesota Mao” reveals his “affection and admiration” for the Chinese “totalitarian dictatorship,” and his buy of “dozens and dozens” of the Little Red Book. Many of Walz’s journeys to China had been funded “in large part” by Beijing, and as governor he promoted his own “Year Zero” strategy to historical past, renaming lakes and eradicating statues. The movie leaves a clear impression that Minnesota’s “alternately absurd and frightening governor” foreshadowed the “radicalism of the young DSA politicians” now ascendent in Democratic politics.
Turtle Bay beat: The UN’s Recycled Lies on Israel
The newest UN-associated report “accusing Israel of genocide” is riddled with “lazy” recycled conclusions which were “predetermined and based to a large degree” on earlier lies about Israel, warns the Commentary’s Seth Mandel. The report claims Israel was “deliberately targeting” Palestinian kids and committing “genocide.” Yet “genocide requires intent,” so the report’s conclusion “never gets off the ground,” leaving readers with “a list of unsubstantiated Israeli crimes.” Example? The report claims “Israeli attacks hit Gaza schools,” however if you happen to learn additional, the doc itself admits “Gaza’s schools were closed soon after Hamas initiated the war.” “Dishonest activists posing as ‘experts’ ” ought to hope “no one reads beyond the headline,” after they put out their subsequent “already-debunked” report.

Religion desk: The ‘Vital Fight’ for Liberty
Thomas Jefferson “correctly regarded freedom of religion as a right given by God, not government,” contends The Wall Street Journal’s William McGurn, although he was improper in “believing most Americans would exercise their religious liberty by eventually becoming Unitarians.” Indeed, “ ‘the constitutional order that Jefferson helped create has sustained a deeper and more diverse religious life than even the Founders themselves anticipated,’ ” argues Mark Rienzi, president the Becket Fund, whose “vital cause” is preventing the many threats to “the free exercise of religion.” “If our first 250 years have taught us anything, it is that our strength comes from our freedom,” insists Rienzi. And “mothing is more American than fighting for religious liberty — even when we disagree.”

Economist: Minimum-Wage Hikes Set To Backfire
Jurisdictions round the nation are set to “enact minimum wage hikes,” most “based on inflation,” notes Michael Saltsman at the Washington Times. But officers in these locations “ignore the growing evidence” that raising the minimal wage comes with “serious costs for workers, businesses and consumers.” Touted as an affordability measure, “minimum wage hikes are linked to fewer employment opportunities, strained business operations and a higher cost of living.” The “economics are straightforward,” as a result of when “minimum wages increase” employers “reduce staff” and even exit of business. Moreover, these“wage increases make the cost of living worse, not better” as they fuel inflation. “Minimum wage mandates” imply “the economic situation is likely to worsen,” with “fewer jobs, struggling businesses, higher prices” on the horizon.
