Harvard (the racial preferences case), 303 Creative LLC. v. Elenis (upholding the right of a website designer not to include pro-same-sex messages if the state demanded them), and Biden v. Nebraska (ending President Joe Biden’s student loan transfer program).

“America is an idea, an idea unique in the world,” President Joe Biden said last week when responding to the Supreme Court’s decision to end race-based admissions preferences in universities. “An idea of hope and opportunity, of possibilities, of giving everyone a fair shot, of leaving no one behind.”
The United States is not giving everyone a fair shot. Far too many are being left behind. But what we're lacking isn't codified racial preferences. Our wealth gap is growing, and millions of children are being deprived of equal opportunity because one of our nation’s foundational institutions is failing: People are getting married less than ever.
Many Republican presidential candidates spent their Fourth of July campaigning in early voting states with six months to go until the Iowa Caucuses.
Former Vice President Mike Pence marched in an Independence Day Parade in Urbandale, Iowa, alongside his wife, former Second Lady Karen Pence. The Des Moines Register noted Iowans greeted Pence with a “warm reception,” although some leftist critics were present. (Tweets) “At the end of the day, I will tell you, we just feel at home in Iowa,” Pence told the Register. “I mean, I’ve got to be honest with you, if I close my eyes and then opened them, you could convince me
U.S. President Joe Biden and first lady Jill displayed a united front as they celebrated Fourth of July on the Truman balcony with recovering drug addict son Hunter Biden and family two days after cocaine was found in the West Wing.
Biden appeared in good spirits despite the scandal watching the dazzling fireworks display lighting up the night sky with family smiling and applauding as he enjoyed the Independence Day festivities looking over the National Mall.
Pops of color commemorating the red, white and blue of the United States flag exploded over the capitol as Biden stole a kiss from Jill and the family embraced one another in the warm glow.
Lawyers are questioning whether the Delaware attorney's office kicked their most experienced prosecutors off the Hunter Biden case – just before they filed minor charges against the president's son.
Whistleblowers who ran the IRS criminal probe into Hunter for five years told Congress about their travails with veteran Delaware prosecutors Lesley Wolf, Shawn Weede, and Shannon Hanson.
But in a letter to a federal judge last week announcing the charges against Hunter, Delaware US Attorney David Weiss listed three different prosecutors who have apparently had no previous involvement in the case – leading to questions of a last-minute overhaul by the Delaware DoJ.
House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) on Monday posted photos on his social media accounts of the Capitol building draped with American flags for the Fourth of July — a stark contrast to images of the White House draped in a Progress Pride flag last month.
McCarthy posted the photos along with the message: “God bless America!”The photos show five American flags flying above the Capitol’s east entrance.(Tweet/Photo) The images stand in stark contrast to those of the White House last month during “pride month.”

The White House was engulfed in scandal during President Joe Biden's Fourth of July celebrations as the Secret Service hunted for whoever was responsible for leaving cocaine in the West Wing.
Hunter Biden was among the first family members at 1600 Pennsylvania for the festivities just hours after it was confirmed a white powder that sparked a hazmat situation contained traces of the illicit drug.
The White House has stayed silent on the shocking discovery on Sunday night that forced an evacuation while the president was in Camp David with his recovering drug addict son Hunter.
The Philadelphia gunman who left five dead has been unmasked as a cross-dressing Black Lives Matter supporter who made chilling Facebook posts about 'evil spirits.'
Kimbrady Carriker, 40, shot dead four men and a 15-year-old boy in the Kingsessing neighborhood on the eve of the Fourth of July.
He is now in custody and facing multiple murder charges after rampaging through the streets with an AR-15, a handgun and wearing a ballistic vest. The killer has now been revealed to be a computer nerd who was obsessed by firearms - even posting video a few days ago of children at a gun range.

Millions of Americans will attend parades, fireworks and other Independence Day events on Tuesday, celebrating the courage of the nation’s 18th century patriots who fought for independence from Great Britain and what they considered an unjust government. Those events also will honor the military and those who sacrificed in other conflicts that helped preserve the nation’s freedom over its 247-year history.
That is only one version of a “patriot.” Today, the word and its variants have morphed beyond the original meaning. It has become infused in political rhetoric and school curriculums, with varying definitions, while being appropriated by white nationalist groups. Trying to define what a patriot is depends
Tuesday brings us not just the 4th of July, but our Independence Day, with a deep meaning for the start of this great American experiment. Although the day is still somewhat young, it doesn't appear to strike too much enthusiasm from President Joe Biden thus far.At 10am, the White House tweeted a simple "Happy Fourth of July, America" message. Biden's official account tweeted something similar at around 9:30am, a "Happy Fourth, America," tweet with different colors. His personal account retweeted the message.
A federal judge issued an injunction on Tuesday that bans numerous top Biden administration officials and agencies from communicating and meeting with social media companies.
The injunction came in response to a lawsuit brought by two Republican attorneys general who “produced evidence of a massive effort by Defendants, from the White House to federal agencies, to suppress speech based on its content,” said U.S. Judge Terry A. Doughty.Sen. Eric Schmitt (R-MO), who filed the lawsuit against the lawsuit while he was still serving as Missouri’s attorney general, responded to the news by calling it a “Big win for the First Amendment on this Independence Day.”
Apple has made history by becoming the first publicly traded company to close a trading day with a market capitalization of $3 trillion. The iPhone giant has flirted with the landmark valuation in the past, but failed to achieve the market at the close of trading until Friday.
TechCrunch reports that tech giant Apple has maintained its crown as the unofficial king of Silicon Valley by achieving a $3 trillion market cap — a higher value than any publicly traded company has ever achieved. Tim Cook’s company enjoyed a 2.31 percent rise in share price Friday, catapulting it to this historic milestone.

Cocaine was found on premises at the White House Sunday evening and the Secret Service is investigating the incident that caused an evacuation of the premises.
A dispatch call reviewed by DailyMail.com reveals the substance was found in the White House library – and a preliminary test found that the white powder tested positive for cocaine.
The discovery came two days after Joe Biden's son Hunter, 52, visited the White House on Friday, which has perked the ears of conservatives who are speculating that the president's addict son is the source of the illegal substance.

Climate reporters for the Washington Post lectured how fireworks from 4th of July celebrations will exacerbate air pollution caused by recent wildfires. As millions of Americans prepare to celebrate the nation’s founding with a traditional fireworks display, climate reporters Kasha Patel and Kate Selig warned that these displays spread harmful pollutants. The piece went as far as to refer to the holiday as "the most polluted day of the year." (Snip) "At a time when climate change is exacerbating air pollution and wildfires, we need to find cleaner substitutes for fireworks, especially in areas with poor air quality," Magavern said.

Riots continue in France as the police station in Rouen was set on fire last night. Patriot militias have taken to the streets in France, battling with rioters for the first time. Right-wing politicians are calling to cut welfare for the parents of migrant hoodlums. French police unions warned the government “Today the police are in combat because we are at war, tomorrow we will be in resistance.”(snip)French President Emmanuel Macron was scheduled to meet with the mayors of 220 towns affected by the riots on Tuesday. A police station in the Châtelet district of Rouen was set on fire as terrified neighbors filmed the rioters.
Last week, Michelle Obama, the politician, issued a formal position statement on Twitter regarding the Supreme Court decision to eliminate affirmative action in higher education. In doing so, Michelle not only revealed her political ambition, which I believe includes the Democratic nomination for president in 2024, but also the likelihood that she herself was an affirmative action student at Princeton University in 1981. (snip) [She] is an obvious beneficiary of racial preferences who feels obliged to deny her privilege and to denounce the very system that bestowed those privileges as racist.
When we first heard the story of a hazmat situation and the White House being evacuated on Sunday, we were told by the media that they’d found cocaine hydrochloride “near the White House.” Then it was described as being on the White House complex. That could be anywhere, including on the grounds. It was also described as “cocaine hydrochloride,” with suggestions it could be an anesthetic.
Then came the report that it was in the White House library, which is on the ground floor of the executive mansion, according to the Washington Post.
But now the Secret Service is contradicting that report about the library. Newsmax reporter James Rosen
Bud Light has been branded 'desperate' after releasing a new advert showing men aggressively 'grunting' The embattled beer giant released a new 15-second spot on Sunday showing Kelce cracking open Bud Light cans and aggressively grunting with several other men. The advert was a clear marketing U-turn after backlash to the company's previous collaboration with trans star Dylan Mulvaney devastated the brand financially. However, the effort has failed to gain traction after it was posted to YouTube, picking up just 2,500 viewers in over 24 hours following its release. The new advert, titled 'Backyard Grunts with Travis Kelce'
It’s easy to take potshots at Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) because the New York Democrat makes it incomprehensibly easy. It’s as if she knows her views and statements will elicit the wrath of conservative America; some are justified, while others you could brush off. It would be wise to use her as a barometer on the pulse of the Left because she has a handle on it. Her outrageous statements about almost subject are what progressive America believes. Right now, the Supreme Court, the third branch of government, has been added to the hit list.
An Obama-appointed federal judge on Monday issued a preliminary injunction against Florida’s election law that imposed limitations on third-party voter registration organizations.
In May Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R) signed SB 7020, a law that barred non-citizens from handling or collecting voter registration forms.
One of the plaintiffs in the lawsuit is an immigrant from El Salvador who works for “Mi Vecino,” a third party voter registration organization.
US District Judge Mark Walker said the election law banning non-citizens from handling voter registration forms is unconstitutional.

As America celebrated its independence, while divided on the true nature of its values, it also braced for a toxic presidential campaign likely to deepen its political trauma and again push the election system to its limits.
Donald Trump, for example, put on a July Fourth weekend show of force, highlighting his early dominance of the Republican race for president and the stiff task his rivals face in trying to thwart his bid to win their party’s nomination for the third time in a row.
At least 1,200 buildings have been burnt, attacked, or looted across France in a week of nightly violence which the head of a business group says has caused at least one billion Euros ($1.1 billion) of damage.
The chief of The Mouvement des entreprises de France (MEDEF, Movement of French Businesses) Geoffroy Roux de Bézieux says hundreds of his members have been attacked over the course of the last week’s rioting, including 200 shops, 300 bank branches, and 250 tobacconists, which appear to have been a particular target for looting in many cities. While the exact cost of these rioter-set fires and looting raids is not yet known,
