Good Wednesday morning! Here's what Nick Reed covers this hour:

A competition in New Zealand for children to hunt and kill feral cats has been scrapped following public outcry.

Four years after Democrats made political hay out of migrant children being separated from their parents at the border, Republicans have turned the tables on the issue amid evidence the Biden administration has lost track of as many as 85,000 minors it allowed to enter the country unaccompanied by parents, leaving many prey to cartel extortion, forced labor, abuse and trafficking.

Nick plays audio from Sen. Josh Hawley talking about the migrant minors in our country.

FOX News media and Dominion Voting Systems have reached an agreement over the defamation lawsuit.

Biden's ATF Director Steve Dettelbach is unable to define the term “assault weapon.”

Democratic Kansas City Mayor Quinton Lucas said Tuesday on CNN that racial bias was a contributing factor in the shooting of a teen boy who approached the wrong home.

Is race a factor in the case? The homeowner shot THROUGH his door. Did he even see the color of the teen? Was he just scared because it was 10 p.m. and it sounded like someone was breaking in?

The Springfield Park Board is implementing a digital ID for pool goers this summer. Democrats claim that it's difficult for black Americans to get an ID in this country, so is this deemed racist?

A Russian court on Monday sentenced one of the Kremlin's most prominent critics, Vladimir Kara-Murza, to 25 years in prison, after what was widely seen as a show trial. This marks the longest prison sentence ever handed down against an opponent of Russian President Vladimir Putin.

The owner of the Hotel of Terror has enough petition signatures to force the city to take a second look at using eminent domain to take his property.

ALSO - 

Kimberly Hermann with the Southeastern Legal Foundation joins Nick:

In the fall of 2020, Springfield Public Schools held a mandatory “equity” training for all of its employees.

In August 2021, Brooke Henderson and Jennifer Lumley, two educators in SPS, stepped forward and with the help of Southeastern Legal Foundation filed the first-in-the-nation lawsuit against the mandatory district-wide training.

In the lawsuit, Ms. Henderson and Ms. Lumley alleged that the training violated the First Amendment because it compelled their speech and discriminated against their views that America should be colorblind.

They also alleged that the district conditioned their employment on their commitment to equity, becoming anti-racist educators, and affirming divisive and discriminatory programming that promotes treating individuals differently based on skin color.

Ms. Henderson and Ms. Lumley sought only a court order stopping SPS from violating the Constitution and a mere $1 in damages.

The two lost the case and U.S. District Judge Douglas Harpool ordered Jennifer Lumley and Brooke Henderson to pay the district $312,869 in legal fees.
