Dear Reader, On August 19, the Democratic party will take the stage in Chicago and officially nominate their presidential candidate for the 2024 election. But it’s possible their nominee will NOT be Joe Biden. I’m Jim Rickards, former advisor to the White House - and I’ve been saying for the past four years that Biden is not fit to be President. But now, his inner circle is turning against him as well. The Wall Street Journal recently published an article in which Biden’s own party members admitted his health is negatively affecting his ability to govern the nation: We all know that Joe Biden is not capable of maintaining the presidency… But here’s what most people don’t know: [The Democrats have already secretly selected someone to take his place if necessary.]( Ahead of the Democratic National Convention on August 19, we could witness a blatant and disturbing threat to democracy that will result in the worst national crisis of the past 50 years. You need to prepare yourself immediately. It’s critical to make sure your investments are in order before the epic economic meltdown this could cause. [I’ve created a crisis plan with everything you need to know right here.]( Sincerely, Jim Rickards This ad is sent on behalf of Paradigm Press, LLC, at 1001 Cathedral St., Baltimore, MD 21201.

Breaking Updates Two days after surviving an assassination attempt, Trump picks his MAGA heir JD Vance emerges as a pivotal figure embodying the populist, nationalist shift within the Republican Party, positioning himself as heir to Donald Trump's legacy. Trump's endorsement of Vance as a potential vice-presidential running mate underscores his role as a torchbearer for the "Make America Great Again" movement, despite Trump's usual focus on the present rather than long-term political legacy. Vance, a 39-year-old Ohio senator, injects youth into the GOP ticket and symbolizes the transformation of the party from its establishment roots to a more populist stance. Vance's rise from a "Never Trumper" to a staunch advocate highlights his political evolution and alignment with Trump's agenda, particularly on issues like economic nationalism and cultural conservatism. His background, detailed in his book "Hillbilly Elegy," contrasts sharply with Trump's, portraying him as a self-made individual who has experienced and articulated the grievances of the working class in the face of economic decline and globalization. Despite criticisms of opportunism, Vance has firmly embraced Trumpism and its anti-establishment ethos, resonating deeply with Republican voters disillusioned with traditional politics. Internationally, Vance's stance on foreign policy, particularly his skepticism towards US involvement abroad and support for Trump's "America First" agenda, sets him apart from traditional Republican doctrine. This perspective could strain relations with European allies if Vance ascends to the vice presidency, signaling a potential shift towards a more isolationist approach under a Trump administration resurgence. Overall, Vance's candidacy represents a significant force within the GOP, reflecting the party's ongoing evolution under Trump's influence and setting the stage for potentially profound changes in American political dynamics.

This landmark legislation positions California as the first state to formalize such protections for LGBTQ students, aiming to safeguard their privacy and ensure they can navigate their identity in a supportive educational environment. Advocates argue that the law is essential in protecting vulnerable students who may face hostility or rejection at home due to their gender identity or sexual orientation. The new law has ignited a heated debate across California and beyond, highlighting the tension between parental rights and the autonomy of LGBTQ youth. Supporters, including spokesperson Brandon Richards for Governor Newsom, assert that the measure prioritizes child safety and preserves the integrity of the parent-child relationship by preventing undue interference from school officials or politicians in private family matters. They argue that allowing students to control when and how they disclose their gender identity respects their autonomy and emotional well-being. Conversely, opponents, such as advocates for parental notification policies like Jonathan Zachreson, contend that parental involvement is crucial for the well-being of children and maintains transparency between schools and families. They argue that parents have a fundamental right to be informed about significant changes affecting their children's education and emotional health. The debate underscores broader societal tensions over LGBTQ rights and parental involvement in education, reflecting ongoing challenges in balancing privacy protections with familial responsibilities and educational transparency in public schools.
