Cain, 20, was sentenced to five years, suspended to 30 months of house arrest, followed by five years of probation.

A South Carolina transgender activist who threatened to assassinate Congresswoman Nancy Mace has avoided prison time. Samuel “Roxie Wolfe” Theodore Cain, 20, was sentenced on Tuesday to five years in prison, suspended to 30 months of house arrest, followed by five years of probation, according to WRDW.

Cain, who pleaded guilty to making threats against Mace, issued the following May 2025 since-deleted social media post: “I’M GOING TO ASSASSINATE REPRESENTATIVE NANCY MACE WITH A GUN AND I’M BEING 100% DEAD A**,” an arrest warrant states

The sentence also issued a permanent restraining order to protect Mace. While in prison, Cain had also reportedly expressed a desire to kill the congresswoman if given the opportunity while speaking to a “jailhouse informant,” according to Mace’s victim impact statement. The comments were allegedly made while discussing the September 2025 assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk.

Democrats Who Rail Against ‘Epstein Class’ Accepted Donations from ‘Pedo Island’ Guest Reid Hoffman– slaynews.com

EXCERPT:

Texas state Rep. James Talarico (D) and Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-GA) have both denounced what they call the “Epstein class,” but campaign finance records show that each has benefited from the political support of billionaire LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman.

Hoffman has acknowledged maintaining a relationship with Jeffrey Epstein after the convicted sex offender’s 2008 conviction.

The billionaire has also admitted to visiting Epstein’s notorious private “Pedophile Island” in the Caribbean.

Talarico, who is running for the U.S. Senate against Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, declared last month that “The Epstein class has no place in Texas.”

Ossoff has repeatedly used the same phrase while criticizing President Donald Trump and wealthy political donors.

Speaking at an Atlanta rally in February, Ossoff said, “This is the Epstein class ruling our country.

AI can become more biased than humans while choosing who gets hired; study finds |– timesofindia.indiatimes.com
News Source
EXCERPT:

Artificial intelligence is increasingly being trusted to help employers screen CVs, rank candidates and even conduct early-stage interviews. The promise is simple: AI can process thousands of applications quickly, reduce administrative workloads and, in theory, make hiring decisions more objective than humans. According to a recent review by MIT Technology, based on the 2024 study published in the Journal of Experimental Psychology titled “Costly Exploration Produces Stereotypes With Dimensions of Warmth and Competence”, large language models (LLMs) may not only inherit human biases from the data they are trained on but also develop entirely new stereotypes based on their own experiences. Rather than simply reflecting existing prejudice, these systems can create fresh patterns of discrimination as they attempt to optimise decision-making over time.The findings are particularly significant because businesses are rapidly integrating AI into recruitment. If these systems begin making assumptions about groups of applicants after only a handful of hiring decisions, they could gradually reinforce unfair employment practices without any explicit human instruction.The research, conducted by scientists at Princeton University and the University of Chicago, builds on earlier psychological work showing how stereotypes can emerge from repeated decision-making. It suggests that the same learning strategies that make AI effective at solving complex problems can also make it unusually prone to stereotyping job candidates.

US Central Command announced on Wednesday that US forces completed a twelfth consecutive night of attacks to degrade Iranian military capabilities.

In footage released by CENTCOM, Iranian military vehicles and boats are seen being blown up in airstrikes.

CENTCOM said in a statement,

At 10:30 p.m. ET on July 22, U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) forces completed another round of strikes against Iran for the 12th consecutive night.

U.S. forces struck Iranian military targets including maritime capabilities, missile and drone storage facilities, coastal surveillance sites, and air defense assets. The strikes further degrade Iran’s ability to attack civilian mariners and commercial vessels.

This month, American forces have targeted dozens of Iranian military sites on land while resuming a blockade against Iran at sea. As of today, CENTCOM has redirected nine commercial vessels and disabled one to prevent ships from entering or departing Iranian ports.

ISLAMABAD (Alliance Defending Freedom) — In Pakistan, the Federal Constitutional Court (FCC) will hear a review petition in the case of Maria Shahbaz on July 24. The FCC is the highest court in Pakistan that hears constitutional cases. The hearing follows a previous ruling from the court, which returned the custody of 13-year-old Maria Shahbaz back to her 30-year-old kidnapper, Shehryar Ahmad.

The outcome of the case could go on to establish a precedent with stronger protections against child marriage in Pakistan.

“This case is a crucial moment in the movement to protect young girls from the crisis of forced marriage in Pakistan. We hope that Pakistan’s highest court will soon agree to review Maria’s case and re-examine the evidence that was previously relied upon by the lower courts. Maria must be freed and safely returned to her family, where she will be safe from harm and able to practice her Christian faith.” — Tehmina Arora, director of Advocacy for Asia at ADF

Trump says Netanyahu will not be arrested despite Mamdani’s call to detain ‘war criminal’– www.lifesitenews.com

EXCERPT:

(LifeSiteNews) — In apparent response to statements from New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani regarding the potential of arresting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as he enters the city to attend a United Nations General Assembly, President Donald Trump declared no such detaining will occur.

“Benjamin Netanyahu will not be arrested, in any way, shape, or form, while in the United States of America,” the 47th U.S. president wrote in a Monday post on Truth Social.

Trump’s public comment came out after Mamdani stated in a New York Times interview that his office was in “active conversation with our legal department” to consider potentially arresting Netanyahu if he comes to the city for the UN General Assembly in September.

Yet, after Trump’s post, Mamdani released a short candid video statement on Tuesday that, on X alone, has garnered more than 64 million views in less than 24 hours.

“Benjamin Netanyahu is a war criminal, the architect of a horrific genocide against the Palestinian people,” the 34-year-old politician stated. “He is responsible for the killing of more than 73,000 people, for the maiming of tens of thousands of children, as those who survive undergo amputation without anesthesia,” he said regarding massive scale atrocities executed by the Israeli army in Gaza.

The dean of Hillsdale College’s Van Andel Graduate School of Government testified before the House Oversight Committee July 21 about the Smithsonian’s leftist bias. Matthew Spalding spoke to the committee about the importance of preserving accurate history in the hearing titled “Rewriting American History: Examining The Smithsonian’s Efforts To Reshape The Past.”

Calling the National Museum of American History (NMAH) one of the country’s “greatest treasures,” Spalding criticized the people in charge of the museum for pushing a leftist agenda in testimony titled “Who Killed America’s Story”?

“The National Museum of American History is no longer the nation’s museum of American history,” Spalding said.

Spalding referenced the White House’s “Saving America’s Story” report, which detailed the ideological capture of the Smithsonian Institution in more than 150 pages. The report contains photographic proof describing NMAH’s failure to present an accurate version of American history to attendees.

Biden could not remember when he was vice president, under President Barack Obama, nor was he clear on when his son Beau Biden died from cancer.

The Heritage Foundation has sought the release of recordings from 2016-17 between Joe Biden and his ghostwriter Mark Zwonitzer. The recordings are redacted. The existence of those files came to light after prosecutor Robert Hur interviewed then-President Joe Biden over classified documents in 2023.

A federal appeals court just removed the last hurdle to the Heritage Foundation’s effort. Biden tried to block the Department of Justice from releasing the tapes but on Monday night, that appeal was denied in a 2-1 decision. “We conclude that Biden has not shown a likelihood that the requested materials must be withheld from disclosure,” said the appeals court.

Hur’s reports on the conversations with Zwonitzer revealed that Biden could not remember when he was vice president, under President Barack Obama, nor was he clear on when his son Beau Biden died from cancer.

Colorado socialist congressional candidate Melat Kiros called for more migrants and people with “heritage in the global south” to seek elected office to push back against the “exploitative” nature of the American people.

Kiros is arguing that the United States plays an “exploitative and extractive” role in the world.

The Democratic Socialists of America-backed candidate made the remarks during the Wa’Ela Tigrai event in Denver last weekend.

During the event, she discussed her congressional campaign after defeating longtime incumbent Rep. Diana DeGette (D-CO) in last month’s Democrat primary.

Kiros said changing the international order would require electing officials who understand what she described as American exploitation on a “fundamental level.”

NYC DSA Co-Chair Called Out For Trying To Release Prisoners– www.louderwithcrowder.com
News Source
EXCERPT:

Releasing prisoners back onto the street does nothing to protect the public. This is why it is bizarre and evil, to say the very least, that the DSA continues to fight for the release of people who have been convicted of a crime.

According to NYC DSA Co-Chair Grace Mausser, the United States has far too many prisoners, especially compared to the rest of the world. She implies this somehow proves those people don’t deserve to be in prison, despite everyone being innocent until proven guilty. Rather than prove the current system is evil, and thus everyone should be exonerated of their crimes, she thinks throwing out random data points somehow makes her point, which is extremely lacking.

If the best argument you have is quoting Bernie Sanders, you have no point whatsoever. In fact, she has proven herself to be nothing more than a parrot for the far-left, while showing the world how naive she truly is.

Mausser believes we have an over-incarceration problem. She added that, “The radical thing is not the idea that we should decrease our incarcerated population.” The problem with that statement is that this is the most radical point in the history of opinions. Abolishing prisons, which is essentially what these people want, is solely intended to destroy and cause destruction. People like Mausser fool no one with their cherry-picking of random numbers, as if that somehow proves those people ought not to be in prison.

South Carolina voters still love former Republican Rep. Trey Gowdy — so much, in fact, that a new poll says he would be their first choice for the Senate seat left open by the recent death of Republican Lindsey Graham.

Gowdy was a popular member of the House from 2011 to 2019. Since leaving Washington, he has been a Fox News host who has shown no sign of wanting to return to Washington

“Trey would be an amazing senator for South Carolina,” GOP Sen. Tim Scott said recently, according to Fox News.

Participants in a poll from Peak Insights agreed, according to Politico.

With an Aug. 11 primary looming for the Republican nomination for Graham’s seat, Gowdy was far ahead of everyone else at 38 percent support.

Rep. Ralph Norman had 13 percent support while Rep. Russell Fry and Sen. Darline Graham Nordone were at 9 percent support.

Louisiana Pastor Fired Over Pronouns Sues Library– www.standingforfreedom.com

EXCERPT:

On July 9, Liberty Counsel filed a federal lawsuit against the City of Baton Rouge and the East Baton Rouge Parish Library system on behalf of a library technician who was allegedly terminated for refusing to use preferred gender pronouns that conflicted with his Christian beliefs.

The complaint, which also names the Metropolitan Council and the Library Board of Control, contends that the library’s “Inclusivity Policy” violates the First Amendment and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 by forcing employees to engage in compelled speech and denying reasonable religious accommodations.

The plaintiff is Luke Ash, the lead pastor of Stevendale Baptist Church. Like many pastors of smaller churches, he also worked a full-time day job to support himself and his family while serving his congregation during evenings and weekends. In March 2025, he took a job as a library technician for the East Baton Rouge Parish Library and worked there without incident — until he was abruptly terminated from his position.

His offense? Respectfully refusing to lie by using false, gender-deluded pronouns to refer to a biological female coworker.

For American evangelical Christians, this is yet another crucial moment that exposes the dangerous, hostile nature of gender ideology. When the government demands that Christians speak lies that violate God’s truth, it is time for the Church to stand up and say: We will not bow.

Poll Analyst Nate Silver Says DSA Members are Highly Educated and Downwardly Mobile– legalinsurrection.com

EXCERPT:

Liberal polling analyst Nate Silver has crunched the numbers and believes he has found a distinct demographic that becomes attracted to the ideas of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA). You may be unsurprised to learn that higher education plays a key role.

According to Silver, the DSA attracts people who are highly educated, yet lack upward mobility. They feel they are owed success because of their credentials. This makes perfect sense, and Silver is not the first person to reach this conclusion.

Silver writes at Substack:

The DSA occupies the high-education, lower-income corner of the electorate

As a result of contentious Democratic primaries in Michigan, Maine, and New York, I’ve been reading a lot of conversation about the role that class plays in voting patterns in the United States. In these primaries, candidates like Graham Platner and Abdul El-Sayed who are associated with democratic socialism often claim to have the mandate of the working class. But in practice, their strengths tend to be with college-educated voters. Even before his scandals, Platner wasn’t particularly doing better among voters without college degrees than previous (losing) Democratic nominees in Maine. El-Sayed has relatively weak support from Black voters in polls, meanwhile…

I’m reminded here of Peter Turchin’s elite overproduction hypothesis. It basically argues that America is producing “too many” college graduates relative to the number of high-prestige, well-paying jobs available to them. People who wind up in this situation often carry heavy student loan burdens or other sorts of debt. Even if their material situation is objectively “just fine,” it’s rarely great. They’re gloomy about their own financial prospects, and feel aggrieved about the state of the country. Their class status is ambiguous: privileged in some senses, but they’re part of the “have-nots” in other meaningful ways.

A planned joint US-Canada ceremony on Friday celebrating the opening of the Gordie Howe International Bridge connecting Detroit and Windsor, Ontario, is no longer expected to take place after Donald Trump announced a 50% tariff on most Canadian goods.

Thousands of idle ships trapped near the Strait of Hormuz could become floating nurseries for invasive marine species and spread them worldwide when trade resumes |– timesofindia.indiatimes.com

EXCERPT:

Having escalated into open hostilities on February 28, 2026, the current United States and Iran war has been going on for nearly five months. In this period, the Strait of Hormuz, the only open-ocean exit for major producers like Saudi Arabia, Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, and the UAE has been in chokehold. The strait is the world’s most critical maritime energy chokepoint, facilitating the passage of roughly 600 billion worth of energy trade annually. According to estimates, about 1,500 vessels are stuck in the Persian Gulf, and several hundred more are stuck in the adjacent Gulf of Oman.Now according to new research, something growing on the hulls of these ships could spread worldwide when the trade resumes. The study published in Biological Invasions, was led by an international team of 24 marine scientists, led by the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science (UMCES), and including the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI).The team cautioned that thousands of commercial vessels stranded for months in the Persian/Arabian Gulf following the closure of the Strait of Hormuz could unintentionally trigger a massive marine invasive species event. The study titled, “Closure of the Strait of Hormuz May Trigger a Bioinvasion Super-Spreader Event,” highlighted how prolonged periods at anchor allow ship hulls to accumulate dense communities of marine organisms including algae, barnacles, mussels and other invertebrates which can be transported across the globe when trade resumes.

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development will “aggressively” crack down on colleges and universities that continue to offer race-based “affinity” housing, a department official told The College Fix.

Assistant Secretary for Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity Craig Trainor recently wrote a “dear colleague” letter warning campuses against “institutionalized separatism on the basis of race.”

“When that racial separatism violates the Fair Housing Act, we will aggressively enforce the law and hold every responsible institution fully accountable, regardless of the label, euphemism, or justification attached to the unlawful housing arrangement,” Trainor told The College Fix in an email last week.

Often referred to as “affinity” housing, some universities offer special residence areas for students of specific racial or ethnic identities. Universities often tout these specialized housing options as a way to promote diversity, community, and belonging.

EXCERPT:

President Donald Trump says Trump Accounts could hoist children out of poverty and give more Americans the chance to benefit from investments in the stock market. But some parents say they’re still waiting for the money to arrive.

Trump on Wednesday plans to speak at a Georgia high school to promote the investment accounts, which offer $1,000 in seed money to every child born during his second term. The accounts went live July 4, two days before Trump rang the opening bells for both the New York Stock Exchange and NASDAQ from the Oval Office.

The tax-advantaged accounts, created last year through Trump’s signature One Big Beautiful Bill, can be opened for any child under the age of 18. The Treasury Department boasts 6.5 million sign-ups for Trump Accounts, with 1.5 million of those eligible for the $1,000 seed funding for babies born from 2025 through 2028.

Boosters of the program say it’s a chance to give more Americans a stake in the stock market. They hope it will stem the rising popularity of democratic socialists, who seek to raise taxes on corporations and the wealthy to ease the cost of things like food and healthcare for low-income and middle-class Americans.

For the better part of two decades, confused children across the Anglosphere deceived into believing that they might be in the wrong bodies have been widely subjected to medications that adversely affect bone density, cognitive performance, emotional stability, and/or future fertility.
