Republicans are "the clear favorites" to retake control of the House and perhaps even the Senate in November's midterm elections.

North Las Vegas Democrat Mayor John Lee recently announced that he's running for re-election as a Republican. Lee said he became a Republican because the Democrats have embraced socialism and an "anti-American" agenda.

"The party moved past me. In fact, Democrats are now leaving that party in droves because of the socialist agenda that has taken place in the Democratic Party," Lee began. "They're totally anti-American. There was nowhere for people who thought and felt like I did about the virtues and values and morals of being a good American. It was time to leave. They have destroyed the Democratic Party now."

Comment: The trend will only pick up speed as inflation and shortages of all sorts start to bite. Unfortunately, merely changing affiliations won't be enough for voters and their candidates to buck the forces that have been set in motion.

Poll: Trump would beat Biden if election were held today, as 6 times as many Democrats as Republicans regret their vote

A video depicting a drag queen clad only in spangled panties and a body harness leading a young girl adorned in a tiara around a bar has elicited outrage and demands for legal action from viewers after the clip went viral over the weekend.

"These people belong in jail," conservative pundit Lauren Chen tweeted on Saturday in response to the video, adding that the issue was a "hill [she was] willing to die on."

The footage shows the unnamed performer strutting around Miami's R House Wynwood restaurant, G-string stuffed with cash and enormous breasts bared, hand-in-hand with the child - who was apparently also deputized to collect cash tips from patrons.

Comment: Here's another 'family-friendly' drag show:

Dave Rubin has been suspended from Twitter after the podcaster and commentator defended Jordan Peterson, who had previously been suspended.

"Since my life's work has already been about exposing and destroying the Woke agenda, I shall now add exposing and destroying Twitter to my resume. Stay tuned," Rubin told The Post Millennial.

Twitter claimed that Rubin had violated their rules against "hateful conduct." His tweet read: "The insanity continues at Twitter. [Jordan B. Peterson] has been suspended for his tweet about Ellen Page. He just told me he will 'never' delete the tweet." Rubin then wrote: "paging @elonmusk," Twitter's new owner.

Comment: It's likely Rubin was also suspended for 'dead-naming' Page. It's a rather stupid policy.

Nine people have been shot and killed in Chicago over the Fourth of July weekend. They are among at least 57 people shot, according to police.

Last year, 19 people were killed and more than 100 people were shot over the long Fourth of July weekend.

Seeking to prevent a similar surge in violence this year, Chicago police Supt. David Brown had said ahead of the long weekend that people should expect to see a heavier police presence in their neighborhoods.

Norway has intervened to end a strike by oil and gas workers, the country's government said in a statement late Tuesday, citing concerns about Europe's energy crisis amid Russia's war in Ukraine.

Natural gas prices spiked after Norwegian oil and gas workers went on strike over a pay dispute Tuesday, shutting three fields in the North Sea and threatening to escalate action over the course of the week.

Norway is Europe's second-largest energy supplier after Russia and the strike had pushed gas prices to their highest level in four months.

Highland Park parade shooting: What we know about person of interest Robert Crimo's social media

© YouTubeHighland Park shooting suspect Robert Crimo III posted a video to his since-deleted YouTube page that included an image of a man with a long gun face-down in an apparent pool of blood with cops standing in front of him.
The "person of interest" arrested in the deadly mass shooting at a Fourth of July parade outside Chicago on Monday has been identified as a 22-year-old local amateur rapper with a history of disturbing online posts.

Robert E. "Bobby" Crimo III, who performs as "Awake the Rapper," was taken into custody Monday shortly after FBI agents visited his family's home in Highwood, Ill., about a mile from the scene of the shooting in Highland Park, WGN-TV ­reported.

An IMDb page under Crimo's name identifies him as a "rapper, singer, songwriter, actor and director" from the Chicago area. The page boasts one of his songs released in 2018 amassed "millions of plays."

Comment: More from New York Post:
Robert "Bobby" Crimo III, the "person of interest" arrested in the Highland Park mass shooting, used a legally obtained weapon in the Fourth of July slaughter in Illinois — but was not known to police, the local mayor revealed Tuesday.

Highland Park Mayor Nancy Rotering — who banned assault rifles in 2013 — gave the update while telling the "Today" show that she had known the suspect when he was a Cub Scout and she was the leader.

"I don't know where the gun came from, but I do know that it was legally obtained," Rotering told the NBC News morning show, without elaborating.

She said she didn't believe he was "previously known to police" before the massacre — but noted the apparent forewarnings in his disturbing rap lyrics and social media posts.
Here we've got a contradiction. Rotering is claiming Crimo was not known to police, while other sources say he was. See: Highland Park shooting suspect 'known to law enforcement'

Another question: How did Crimo legally obtain an AR15 if assault rifles were banned in Highland Park in 2013?

"No household or person should be missed," Shanghai's government said Tuesday of its mass testing scheme.

The Bank said the outlook for the UK economy is "very uncertain".
The Bank of England has told lenders to prepare for a "deteriorated economic outlook".

Banks were told to ramp up capital buffers to ensure they can weather the storm.

And so, just how 'deteriorated' can the situation become? Well, just a few months ago the Governor of the BoE warned of looming 'apocalyptic' global food shortages'.
