Need to Know News (1 July 2022) with Joe Olson and Maryam Henein

Nearly 8 in 10 Democrats think the country is moving in the wrong direction, which is one more sign of calamity ahead during the midterm elections (assuming they are allowed to be held). Bad news across the political spectrum, where even 67% of Democrats agree the economy is doing poorly. Ukraine has demonized a journalist who exposed fraud by a government official, who was promoting false beliefs about mass rape by Russian soldiers, which had no basis in fact but were beneficial to the government's propaganda campaign. And the leftist media has begun smearing those who are pro-life as "white supremacists" or worse, which has become an all-purpose slogan for the left to deploy against ordinary Americans, who are not "racist" by any reasonable standard. While Biden would like to make abortion an exception to the Senate filibuster rule, it ain't going to happen, where two Democrat Senators have already spoken out in opposition, but where they are now using the idea of electing two more Democrats to the Senate as a theme. The sentencing of Ghislaine Maxwell to 20 years leaves revelations about the heavy hitters who were indulging in her and Epstein's services yet to be publicly exposed and prosecuted for their crimes. And Cornell has removed a bust of Abraham Lincoln from a library "because someone complained", which is a pathetic commentary on the integrity of an Ivy League institution.
