The Blaze: Mayor Eric Adams pleads with judge to 'revisit' NYC's sanctuary city law amid illegal immigration surge: 'We have reached our limit'
New York City Mayor Eric Adams is requesting a judge to revisit the city's sanctuary city law as the city reaches its limits in sheltering illegal immigrants. The law has been in place since 1989, but Adams claims that the situation is now a "humanitarian crisis of this proportion," placing significant strain on the city's services. The city has opened over 130 emergency sites and eight humanitarian relief centers in response to receiving around 500 illegal immigrants every day. Now, with neighboring counties pushing back, Adams is seen to no longer support the Democrats' open-borders policies, and the suburbs are no longer willing to receive the illegal immigrants flooding into the city.
Fox News: NYC officials infuriate locals by sending migrants to school gyms: 'Unfair, unacceptable'
NYC leaders face backlash over decision to house migrants in public schools. Migrants will be housed in the gym outside the P.S. 188 Brooklyn elementary school with no timetable of when the building will be used as an emergency site. Residents are outraged and feel there were better options such as shelters and other buildings around the area. City officials say the decision was made due to a lack of a national solution to the migrant crisis.
Breitbart: VIDEO: Biden-Deployed Soldier Opens Texas Border Gate, Allows Migrants to Enter
A National Guard soldier, not part of the Texas National Guard, is seen in a video opening a gate in a Texas-built border fence to allow a group of migrants to enter on May 15. Officials say she is a Title 10 soldier from the Missouri National Guard under orders from the federal government to assist Border Patrol agents. A second video shows the migrants lining up to be processed by Border Patrol agents and transported to a processing center in Eagle Pass. The Border Patrol apprehended over 4,800 migrants who illegally crossed the southwest border between ports of entry, marking the fifth straight week of declining apprehensions after the Title 42 program ended.

Newsbusters: ‘Absolutely Nothing New’; CNN, MSNBC’s Initial Durham Reactions Distort Report
Special Counsel John Durham dropped his report on Monday, finding "neither U.S. law enforcement nor the Intelligence Community appears to have possessed any actual evidence of collusion" in relation to the Trump-Russia probe. Despite this, CNN and MSNBC claimed there was still evidence of collusion, with correspondents claiming the FBI acted inappropriately. The liberal media's love of the Deep State was supported by advertisers such as Dove and Progressive.
The Federalist Papers: FBI Issues Response to Blistering Durham Report, Cites 'Dozens of Corrective Actions'
The FBI responded to John Durham's report on its actions in the Russia investigation, saying that corrective actions had already been implemented, and it was committed to rigorous, objective and professional work. Republican Elise Stefanik called the investigation an attempt to illegally weaponize the federal government against Donald Trump, and called for those involved to be held accountable and face prosecution. Republican Andy Biggs tweeted that the FBI and DOJ should be defunded and dismantled. Republican Mike Lee wrote that the report revealed a brazen effort by federal law enforcement agencies to frame someone they don’t like. The report concluded that the Department of Justice and the FBI didn't have the necessary evidence to launch an investigation into the Trump campaign over alleged collusion with Russia.
The Epoch Times: 'Damning Indictment': Sen. Graham Calls for Senate Judiciary Committee Hearing on Durham Report Findings
Senator Lindsey Graham called for a hearing on John Durham's report that found the FBI's 2016–2017 investigation into Trump's campaign was based on "raw, unanalyzed, and uncorroborated intelligence." The report also highlighted the FBI's handling of the Clinton inquiry, and Durham notes that the FBI and DOJ restricted an inquiry into the Clinton Foundation so that little to no investigative activity could occur in the months leading up to the election.
Fox News: Elon Musk says George Soros ‘hates humanity,’ reminds him of ‘Magneto’ in viral Twitter skirmish
Elon Musk compared billionaire George Soros to the villain character Magneto from X-Men due to his role in American politics. Soros has come under scrutiny for funding left-wing prosecutors in the U.S. and making donations to groups closely tied to Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, who led the indictment against former President Trump. Musk accused Soros of wanting to "erode the very fabric of civilization" and pushing American politicians to the left on issues like crime and immigration. Alex Soros, Soros' son, has also worked to continue his father's support for the Democratic Party, visiting the White House multiple times since October 2021.
Fox News: Homeland Security Republicans hold hearing examining state of law enforcement amid National Police Week
GOP Reps. August Pfluger of Texas and Anthony D’Esposito of New York are holding a joint hearing to examine the state of American law enforcement. The Subcommittee for Intelligence, Counterterrorism, and Law Enforcement hearing is a way to honour law enforcement, as the country endures a crime crisis. The hearing seeks to examine the morale issues as they relate to feeling supported, including staffing levels, and the amount and type of support from the DHS. The witnesses will likely discuss how the southern border crisis has affected law enforcement through human trafficking and other violent crimes. Republican lawmakers are criticizing Democrats for putting criminals before law-abiding citizens and seek to understand which policies are driving crime in minority communities.
The IRS has removed its entire investigative team in the Hunter Biden case, with a whistleblower claiming retaliation, according to a recent report. In 2018, Senate Republicans had referred Hunter Biden’s business dealings with foreign firms to the IRS for investigation, but it is unclear if the current move is in any way related. Reports suggest continuing political tensions are a factor, given the Biden administration’s dismissal of some senior DOJ personnel appointed under President Trump. Meanwhile, Reps. August Pfluger and Anthony D’Esposito are holding a bipartisan hearing to enhance the methods used by American law enforcement to support police in a year of heightened violence.
The Federalist Papers: New Details Emerge About Who Trump May Pick to Be 2024 Running Mate
Former President Donald Trump is considering Kari Lake, Marjorie Taylor Greene, and Kristi Noem as possible running mates for the GOP presidential nomination in 2024. Lake, a former news anchor in Arizona, is known for her hard-right rhetoric and polished TV presence. Greene, a far-right Republican gaining more mainstream acceptance, could appeal to both MAGA and the mainstream, making her a concern for some. Noem has remained loyal to Trump and could secure his appeal in Georgia. Loyalty is reportedly the primary quality Trump is seeking in a vice president.
Fox News: Hunter Biden arranged 2012 call between VP Biden, Whitey Bulger kin before starting China-backed BHR Partners
Hunter Biden arranged a 2012 phone call between Joe Biden and a business associate of James "Whitey" Bulger, according to emails. Hunter contacted Bulger to inform him about a potential deal with a Kazakh tycoon and a potash mining company in Arizona. Joe Biden spoke to the "Bulgers" on Thanksgiving the next day. Bulger praised Biden in an email to Hunter and requested a meeting to discuss business. It is unclear what was discussed on the phone call or if the meeting took place. Bulger went on to join Hunter on the board of a Beijing-backed company.
The Epoch Times: IRS Chief 'Laser-Focused' on Stamping Out Tax Audit 'Racism' Despite 'Substantial Uncertainty' Surrounding Racial Bias
The IRS is investigating claims that it audits black taxpayers at higher rates than other Americans. A study by researchers from Stanford, Michigan, Chicago and the Treasury Department found that black taxpayers are audited at three to five times the rate of non-black taxpayers. Although IRS commissioner Daniel Werfel has stressed that the agency does not consider race as part of case selection and audit processes, despite deep concerns raised by the recent findings, he has vowed to ensure that changes are implemented ahead of the next tax-filing season. The study found that discrimination in the computer algorithms the agency uses to determine who is selected for an audit is the reason behind the racial disparity and that it is “unlikely to be intentional” on behalf of any staff at the IRS.

Fox News: Chinese Leader Xi Jinping's government shuts down advocacy group for LGBTQ community in Beijing
The Beijing LGBT Center has announced its closure as part of a government crackdown on advocacy groups. The center had evolved from a safe space for the LGBTQ+ community in Beijing to an advocacy group aimed at improving living conditions. With groups like LGBT Rights Advocacy China already closed, the pressure on LGBTQ+ organizations has increased, with "teas" and registration difficulties making it difficult to operate. This marks a critical blow for advocacy groups pushing for rights such as same-sex marriage, even though they continue to face obstacles.
Red State: Martha Stewart: Fat-Shaming ‘Diet Culture’ Oppressor
Martha Stewart's Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover drew criticism from Elyse Wanshel for "fat-shaming." Wanshel argued the octogenarian's comments on preparing for the shoot contained problematic diet culture rhetoric. Martha mentioned giving up carbs and doing pilates before bringing up genetics, so she could wear a two-piece suit like her mother even after having several children. Although some claims are exaggerated, the general disagreement stems from an opposition to promoting just one body type and discouraging people who don't meet such standards. Diet culture, according to registered dietitian Christy Harrison, can adversely affect different groups of people like women, people of color, and those with disabilities.
Washington Free Beacon: IRS Admits to Targeting Black Americans More Than Others Despite Biden's 'Racial Equity' Pledge
The IRS has admitted to targeting black Americans for scrutiny at higher rates than other groups, despite President Biden's executive order to pursue racial equity across his administration. The agency is looking for ways to address the issue and improve outreach to underserved communities, while also working to reduce disparities in tax enforcement based on gender, geography, and ethnicity.

The Epoch Times: The Asymmetric Nature of Expensive Air Defenses Versus Cheap Drones
The Russia-Ukraine War has been a testing ground for modern warfare. Ukraine's initially successful defense utilized Western-provided anti-tank missiles and other advanced NATO weapons. However, Russia has been using cheap Iranian-built drones that have been successful in striking hundreds of infrastructure and military targets in Ukraine. Shooting down these drones has cost Ukraine millions, as the cost of the weapons to counter them are far more expensive than the drones themselves. As both sides continue to develop more drones, the rest of the world's militaries will be prioritizing anti-drone technology.
Euromaidan Press: Ukraine retook some 20 km² near Bakhmut as Russians advance in city itself – Ukraine MoD
Heavy fighting continues in Bakhmut, Donetsk Oblast with varying results. Ukrainian forces have liberated about 20 square kilometers of the Bakhmut suburbs, while Russians make advances in the city and destroy it with artillery. The enemy has an advantage in terms of numbers of people and weapons.
Washington Free Beacon: Kill Shot: Ukraine Downs Missiles Russia Said Were Impossible To Intercept

Fox News: South Africa admits US claims that arms were shipped to Russia ‘still stand’
Amid continuing concerns about greater military and economic ties between the countries including arms shipments, the US and South Africa appear to remain locked in a diplomatic battle over whether South Africa has gone pro-Russian. South Africa's Defence Minister has not commented on the matter after US Ambassador, Reuben Brigety, claimed that arms had been loaded onto a sanctioned Russian freighter at Simonstown naval base. Questions still remain over whether South Africa supplied arms to Russia. The US Treasury Secretary has requested details about the freighter's cargo, whilst Senator James Risch has said these allegations demonstrate that South Africa could be relegated alongside North Korea and Iran. There have even been calls for the Biden Administration to re-evaluate the scope and scale of current engagement with the South African government.
Fox News: Top House Republican to hit Blinken with contempt charge: ‘I don’t take this lightly’
Rep. Michael McCaul plans to introduce a contempt charge against Secretary of State Antony Blinken for refusing to comply with subpoenas from the House Foreign Affairs Committee. The charge will proceed to the House floor on a party-line vote by early June. The contempt charge would largely be a symbolic move, as President Biden's Justice Department would likely decline to prosecute the case.

Flag And Cross: Miller Lite Ripped to Shreds for Ad Campaign - This Is Like Bud Light 2.0
Miller Lite has released a YouTube video apologizing for objectifying women in beer ads in the past, saying that the company is on a mission to clean up the whole industry's act. The video, released during Women's History Month in March, featured “Broad City” co-creator Ilana Glazer talking about how women were among the very first to brew beer, and announcing that Miller Lite was turning old, sexualized advertisements into compost and feeding them to worms that would excrete waste that could be used to make fertilizer for women farmers who grew beer ingredients. While the video predates the recent disastrous Bud Lite ad campaign, some commentators have suggested that it is simply the latest example of a company jumping on the “woke” bandwagon and that it will only serve to alienate Miller Lite drinkers, who are predominantly working class and middle American.

National Review: The Corner: Abusing the Language to Promote Ideology
Bob Graboyes exposes how the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) is torturing English to push their collectivist agenda in medical care. The AAMC has put forth a guide for “equitable” language, which includes recasting sentences such as “Low-income people have the highest level of coronary artery disease in the United States” to “People underpaid and forced into poverty as a result of banking policies, real estate developers gentrifying neighborhoods, and corporations weakening the power of labor movements, among others, have the highest level of coronary artery disease in the United States.”

The Federalist: Daniel Penny Deserves A Medal, Not Jail Time
Decorated Marine Daniel Penny is facing accusations of second-degree manslaughter after intervening to save strangers from attack by a violent schizophrenic who has since died. Meanwhile, left-wing politician Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has accused Penny of murder and claimed a third scalp for her growing trophy collection. Penny is a hero, a surfer, and by all accounts, an exemplary citizen. His case, however, has become a brutal new form of reparations in which the system must take him down, mainly because he is from the most hated class of people in America: white male.

Jamere Miller, 36, was charged with the murder of his ex-girlfriend, Patrice Wilson, who was a nurse at Detroit Receiving Hospital. Miller had a child with Green before she vanished, and he was previously questioned but not charged.

Breitbart: U.S. Virgin Islands Issues Subpoena to Elon Musk in Jeffrey Epstein Lawsuit
The U.S. Virgin Islands issued a subpoena to Elon Musk in relation to its lawsuit against JPMorgan Chase, alleging that the bank enabled and benefitted from disgraced financier and sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, who kept millions of dollars on deposit at JPMorgan. The U.S. territory is seeking documents from Musk that may show Epstein referred or attempted to refer him as a client to JPMorgan.
Musk denied any involvement with Epstein in a tweet on Monday, calling the attempt to subpoena him "idiotic." The U.S. Virgin Islands has also issued subpoenas to other high-profile figures, including Google co-founder Larry Page and former Disney executive Michael Ovitz, in its effort to find out more about Epstein and JPMorgan.

The Wisconsin Supreme Court has ruled that the "Marsy's Law" amendment, which expands the rights of crime victims, was legally adopted.

Forbes: Projecting Brook Lopez’s Next Contract With Milwaukee Bucks
Milwaukee Bucks' Brook Lopez is entering free agency this summer. He is a modern big man who can play alongside Giannis Antetokounmpo on offense, thanks to his daring range and his ability to provide an outside shot. At 35 years old, Lopez's age is the biggest downside, but his defense has been impressive and he made the NBA's All-Defensive First team. Milwaukee might run it back with the same team next season and can negotiate an extension with Lopez before June 30th. Based on the contract he's eligible for and comparisons with other players at his position, a two-year deal would give him a payday while avoiding a long-term deal for someone entering their late 30s.
