Biden Administration Fights For Censorship<\/h3>\n<p>On Wednesday, the Biden administration <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/biden-administration-to-appeal-judges-order-blocking-contact-with-social-media-companies\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">appealed<\/a> a judge\u2019s order blocking several government agencies and officials from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/federal-judge-blocks-biden-officials-from-contacting-social-media-companies-report\/\" title=\"Federal judge stops Biden officials from contacting <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/ga-poll-watcher-it-expert-non-trump-supporter-affidavit-sudden-surge-of-20000-mail-in-votes-for-biden-in-early-hours-on-nov\/\" title=\"GA Poll Watcher, IT Expert, Non-Trump Supporter Affidavit: Sudden Surge of 20,000 Mail-In-Votes For Biden In Early Hours On Nov\">social media companies<\/a>: Report&#8221;>contacting social media companies<\/a>. The appeal sets up a clash over the U.S. District Judge Terry Doughty\u2019s July 4th judgment, which granted the injunction in a 2022 lawsuit by the attorneys general of Louisiana and Missouri that accused the government of violating the First Amendment after the alleged collusion with social media companies to censor \u201cdisfavored\u201d speech.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why It Matters:<\/strong> As previously covered by The Daily Wire, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/friendly-fascism-biden-white-house-wanted-to-censor-even-private-speech-over-covid-vax\">Biden administration has always shown a keen interest<\/a> in getting Big Tech to censor speech it disapproves of. Often under the guise of fighting disinformation or protecting national security, the Biden administration has arguably trampled upon the First Amendment in order to maintain power.<\/p>\n<p>Judge Doughty, however, has put a temporary stop to all this and is already having an impact as federal agencies have canceled meetings with Big Tech groups out of caution until they get further legal guidance.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, the Left is going to fight for censorship \u2014 it helps Democrats stay in power. The truth is an antidote to their propaganda. For example, if the truth were really allowed to proliferate on social media in 2020 \u2014 such as saying men cannot get pregnant, that the Hunter Biden laptop was real, and that everyday household COVID masks didn\u2019t work as advertised \u2014 then the Democrats would have likely lost the presidential election.<\/p>\n<p>The Left\u2019s success depends on deceit. To make it work, the Left needs to be able to trample out the truth and command the narrative. It always has, and always will. Unfiltered social media thwarts that control, hence the Democrats\u2019 desire to have Big Government and Big Tech working together to silence dissenters.<\/p>\n<h3>2. More Biden \u2018Crime Family\u2019 Drama \u2014 A New Witness Steps Forward<\/h3>\n<p>Another <a href=\"https:\/\/www.realclearpolitics.com\/2023\/07\/06\/dr_gal_luft_details_biden_corruption_in_extraordinary_video_602490.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">witness in the Hunter Biden<\/a> saga has come forward, this one a former adviser to the Chinese energy company CEFC. Gal Luft is accusing the Bidens of corruption and the DOJ of covering it up. He made the claims in a video obtained by the New York Post.<\/p>\n<p>Luft is an expert in geopolitics and energy security who is currently in hiding from U.S. authorities. He said he\u2019s being pursued by the DOJ on charges of arms trafficking, acting as an unregistered foreign agent, and lying to the FBI. But he says his indictment is an attempt by the DOJ to keep him from sharing what he knows about the Biden family\u2019s dealings with CEFC.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" aria-describedby=\"sk-tooltip-9096\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp&#038;source=gmail&#038;ust=1688648178298000&#038;usg=AOvVaw10v0UGh9BJZV8inaPuI6t7\">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Luft met with U.S. authorities to blow the whistle on the Bidens in March of 2019, but heard nothing in response until authorities arrested him in Cyprus in February. He escaped custody with the help of friends, he said, and is keeping his current location a secret.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why It Matters:<\/strong> It wouldn\u2019t be the first time that an opponent of the Biden administration has had the DOJ effectively sicced on them. Parents, pro-life fathers, the owner of the laptop repair store where Hunter had it dropped off, and even the former president have all been targeted by law enforcement due to arguably weak cases \u2014 with the only common denominator being that they threaten Biden\u2019s power. Read <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/pro-life-activist-arrest-shows-doj-doesnt-care-if-its-politicized-whats-the-gop-going-to-do-about-it\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">more here<\/a>. If the allegations about the Biden family\u2019s money-making are even remotely true, it\u2019s no surprise that Luft would feel he has to go incognito for his own survival.<\/p>\n<h3>3. Where In the World Is Yevgeny Prigozhin?<\/h3>\n<p>The mercenary leader Yevgeny Prigozhin, who led a short-lived mutiny against the Kremlim, is in Russia today while his Wagner troops are in their field camps, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/2023\/07\/06\/1186186367\/yevgeny-prigozhin-wagner-russia-belarus-lukashenko\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">according to the president of Belarus<\/a>. Alexander Lukashenko\u2019s claim could not be independently verified, however, Russian media have reported Prigozhin was seen at his offices in St. Petersburg. It was not clear if Prigozhin\u2019s presence in Russia would violate the deal, which allowed the head of the Wagner Group to move to Belarus and gave a promise of amnesty in exchange for ending the rebellion.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why It Matters:<\/strong> \u201cIn war, the first causality is the truth,\u201d Greek tragedian Aeschylus is believed to have first said. And boy does that ever apply to the Ukraine-Russian War. The truth has been repeatedly twisted from all directions, and we still haven\u2019t learned why Prigozhin started his \u201ccoup\u201d in the first place.<\/p>\n<p>But with regard to Prigozhin, Lukashenko, and President Vladimir Putin \u2014 none of these people were trustworthy even before the war started. During it, their propaganda has only ramped up. Readers <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/un-risk-of-nuclear-war-at-record-high-please-engage-in-peace-talks-russia-and-ukraine\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">should keep in mind that Belarus<\/a> has also denied \u2014 despite mountains of evidence \u2014 that Russia has been <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/pentagon-probing-release-of-alleged-secret-u-s-nato-plans-to-arm-ukraine\/\" title=\"Pentagon Probing Release Of Alleged Secret U.S.\/NATO Plans To Arm Ukraine\">moving tactical nuclear weapons<\/a> into the country \u2014 which just happens to border Ukraine. You can\u2019t exactly trust Lukashenko\u2019s claims about Prigozhin here.<\/p>\n<h3>4. UPS Strike Looming?<\/h3>\n<p>More than 340,000 UPS workers could go on strike if the shipping giant and the Teamsters Union don\u2019t come to a new contract agreement soon. Negotiations appeared to be going well until 4:00 a.m. Wednesday morning \u2014 when The Teamsters walked away from the negotiating table.<\/p>\n<p>UPS released a <a href=\"https:\/\/about.ups.com\/us\/en\/newsroom\/press-releases\/people-led\/ups-encourages-teamsters-to-return-to-the-negotiations-table.html\">statement<\/a>, saying, \u201cRefusing to negotiate, especially when the finish line is in sight, creates significant unease among employees and customers and threatens to disrupt the U.S. economy.\u201d The company hasn\u2019t had a strike since 1997.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why It Matters:<\/strong> While there might be a few reasonable arguments for some voluntary unionism, there are none for forced unionism (or public unions, but that\u2019s a different story) and bullies who take money from unsuspecting temporary workers. And unfortunately, the Teamsters Union has many a time preyed on seasonal workers during the summer and during the Christmas season to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/the-rundown-team-biden-fights-for-censorship-truth-is-the-first-casualty-of-war\/\" title=\"Team Biden advocates for censorship, sacrificing truth in the process.\">demand \u201cunion dues\u201d illegally<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>For example, in 2014, one poor seasonal worker received a $0 paycheck because Teamsters Fat Cats took it all. Thankfully, attorneys from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nrtw.org\/es\/news\/ups-seasonal-worker-receives-0-paycheck-after-company-illegally-seizes-dues-for-teamster-union-0\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">National Right to Work Foundation<\/a> were there to help him out.<\/p>\n<p>As for the potential UPS strike, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2023\/06\/12\/business\/teamsters-ups-strike-possibility\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">experts<\/a> say this would be disastrous for the American economy.<\/p>\n<h3>5. Sex Cult Actress Released From Prison Early<\/h3>\n<p>Former <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/world-us-canada-66111026\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u2018Smallville\u2019 actress Allison Mack<\/a> has been released early from her prison sentence for her involvement in the NXIVM sex cult started by Keith Raniere. Mack was sentenced to three years in prison in June 2021 after pleading guilty to a number of charges. Raniere was sentenced in October 2020 to 120 years in prison, and Mack subsequently called her involvement with the group her \u201cbiggest mistake and greatest regret of my life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why It Matters:<\/strong> It\u2019s called <em>Hollyweird<\/em> for a reason.<\/p>\n<h3>6. Oceangate Suspends Operations<\/h3>\n<p>OceanGate, the company that owned the submersible that imploded on its way to the wreck of the Titanic, said Thursday it has suspended operations. Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/oceangate-suspends-operations-after-deadly-implosion\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>. All five people who were on board the most recent mission were killed after the submersible presumably imploded as it made its descent into deep North Atlantic waters on June 18.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why It Matters:<\/strong> Some view those who died as bold pioneers, steeped in the American tradition of doing \u201cthings not because they are easy, but because they are hard.\u201d Then, there are those who think the men were idiots \u2014 like the kind of people who go \u201cadventuring\u201d in Latin America and plunge to their death after trying out Ecuadorian zip lines to prove how <em>loco<\/em> they are.<\/p>\n<p>Wherever you stand on this issue, five innocent souls were lost, and that is always a tragedy. But that\u2019s not how the Left saw these deaths.<\/p>\n<p>Numerous people on the Left were glad because five rich men were killed at the bottom of the sea. Much like the \u201cWe\u2019re coming for your children\u201d chants at Pride parades across America, when the Left says, \u201cEat the rich!\u201d there\u2019s more truth to their chants than not. Success is always envied by the Left, and that emotion leads to contempt. The fruit of that contempt rears its ugly head when catastrophe strikes the Left\u2019s opponents.<\/p>\n<p><em>To listen to the audio version of Afternoon Update, <a href=\"https:\/\/podcasts.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/morning-wire\/id1576594336\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">click here<\/a>.
