The Babylon Bee: SNL Beats Writer's Strike With Popular Host Who Can Ad-Lib For Hours
Saturday Night Live will air this weekend despite the writers' strike thanks to Donald Trump hosting the show. Trump will ad-lib his monologue for an hour on topics such as fake news, Stormy Daniels, and Russian collusion. Protesters have already gathered outside Rockefeller Plaza to fight against SNL’s decision to allow Trump on the show. Nielsen predicts record ratings for the weekend episode.
Newsbusters: Journos Huddle Around PBS Roundtable to Discuss Avoiding Trump Live Appearances
PBS journalists discuss denying live coverage to Republican candidate Donald Trump in the 2024 election cycle, claiming to be protecting democracy. Washington Post columnist Dan Balz supports this, stating that Trump's anti-democratic views need to be brought to the forefront without giving him undue attention. However, the roundtable fails to discuss President Biden's family's foreign financial dealings or question the prospect of denying live coverage to a major party candidate.
Forbes: What Is The Alberta 51 Project—Hard-Right Canadian Separatist Group Gaining Steam From Fox News
A small far-right group in Alberta, Canada is pushing for the province to secede from Canada and become the 51st state in the United States, citing opposition to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Covid-19 restrictions and a preference for the “freedom” and “Republican system” of the U.S. Fox News and Newsmax have reported on the group, which has only 67 members on Facebook and 74 Twitter followers, putting a spotlight on their cause. However, for Alberta to secede, it would need to hold a referendum with a majority of voters in support of leaving Canada, and then an amendment to the Canadian constitution would need to be passed. Statehood in the U.S. is also unlikely, with Congress having not admitted any new states since Alaska and Hawaii in 1959 and prior efforts such as for Puerto Rico and Washington D.C. having failed.
Daily Wire: TN House Republicans Ask For Release Of Nashville Shooter’s Toxicology Report, Writings
Tennessee House Republicans want the Nashville chief of police to release the writings and toxicology reports of the trans-identifying shooter who killed six people at a Christian school in March. Republicans sent the letter to Chief John Drake, asking for the information before a special session called by Republican Governor Bill Lee. They believe that understanding the killer's motives is crucial for effective solutions to prevent future acts of violence, and so far, GOP lawmakers have resisted calls for red flag-style legislation, arguing that those policies infringe on Second Amendment rights.
The Epoch Times: DC Police Chief Says He Had No Contact With Pelosi's Office Before Jan. 6
Police Chief Contee denies contact with Pelosi's office ahead of Capitol attack.
During a hearing by the House Oversight Committee, Rep. Paul Gosar asked D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser whether local officials had contact with the speaker’s office, the sergeant-at-arms, or any federal law enforcement agency about Jan 6. Contee said there were "several conversations with law enforcement officials," but he had no personal conversation with the speaker's office. Violent crime is up by 13% in D.C., and there has been an 11% increase in homicides. Democrats criticized the hearing.
Newsbusters: CBS Gushes Over Obama Pushing Australian-Style Gun Control
Former President Barack Obama appeared on CBS Mornings to advocate for gun control and criticize the media for being too divided. Obama praised Australia's strict gun control laws, citing their success in preventing mass shootings. He also lamented the cultural and political divide surrounding gun ownership in the United States. The CBS Mornings hosts praised Obama's views and emphasized the importance of finding common ground in a divided country.
The Blaze: Horowitz: The Texas Rangers have come full-circle in defense of state and national sovereignty
Texas has a history of securing their border by themselves, as the federal government did not provide adequate protection in the past. In current times, Texas Rangers, specialized Texas DPS units, and Texas National Guardsmen are plugging gaps in Brownsville, leading to a decrease in daily infiltrations. If Texas had more resources, they could solve the current immigration issue without relying on a possible Republican presidential win in 2025. Creating a permanent Border Protection Unit and incentivizing current Border Patrol agents to join Texas law enforcement could help solve the issue. Governor Abbott and Lt. Gov Dan Patrick need to demand that the creation of a border unit with full authority to repel the invasion happens before the legislative session ends.
The Epoch Times: Georgia Court of Appeals Revives 2020 Fulton County Counterfeit Ballot Inspection Case
An appeal court in Georgia has revived a lawsuit alleging fraudulent or counterfeit ballots were cast in Fulton County during the 2020 general election. The plaintiffs, which include Garland Favorito, founder of the group Voters Organized for Trusted Election Results in Georgia, called for an inspection of all 147,000 absentee ballots cast in the state’s election. Though the decision from the appeals court only applied to petitioners who are residents of Fulton County, it was described as a “huge win” by attorney Bob Cheeley, who represents some plaintiffs. Though several investigations have found no evidence to support the allegations of fraud in the 2020 vote, supporters of Donald Trump claim thousands of votes were illegally cast.
National Review: The FBI Didn’t Ignore Russian Intel on Hillary’s Plan to Smear Trump — It Abetted the Plan
Special counsel John Durham's report on Russiagate reveals that the FBI apparently ignored credible intelligence that linked Hillary Clinton to efforts of smearing Trump as a Putin puppet. The FBI, instead, instituted Clinton's plans and knowingly overlooked key evidence, assisting her agenda. Furthermore, the FBI allegedly laid emphasis on an observation that politics had driven their decision-making, giving Clinton the kid gloves treatment while imposing double standards against Trump’s campaign. Such reports not only provide a glimpse of the suspicious discrimination underlying political agendas but deep into the workings of US’s innermost investigative departments.
Human Events: Mainstream media admits Durham Report reveals FBI’s flaws but
refuses to acknowledge their own
The much-anticipated release of the Special Counsel John Durham’s report confirmed FBI wrongdoing in trying to overthrow President Trump. The report found that FBI personnel repeatedly disregarded important requirements and exculpatory information and committed criminal offenses. The mainstream media downplayed the report's release, continuing to trumpet the Russia collusion hoax. The FBI and DOJ are seriously off the rails of sanity and democratic safety, actively working to overthrow a president while ignoring rampant corruption by the Biden family. The Durham Report was a wakeup call for would-be journalists who have become propagandists.
Breitbart: Laura Ingraham: Durham Findings 'Arguably' Worse than Watergate
Laura Ingraham on Fox News called the findings of the Durham probe into the Trump-Russia investigation worse than Watergate. The report details corruption, clear political bias, and abuse of office, and yet Durham concludes that the FBI only failed to uphold their mission of allegiance to the law. The report shows a notable deviation in how the FBI approaches prior matters involving possible interference aimed at the Clinton campaign, and how it acted towards Trump. Despite the clear wrongdoings, the press remains uninterested in finding answers to the simple questions being asked.
Fox News: Democrats have an opportunity to make Republicans sweat with Santos expulsion
House Democrats are moving forward with a privileged resolution to expel Representative George Santos, who was indicted on charges including lying to Congress and stealing funds from his campaign. The move would put House Republicans in a difficult position, as they would have to decide whether to vote to expel Santos or protect him. Expulsion requires a two-thirds vote, and the House has only expelled five members in its history. If expelled, Santos's vacant seat in New York would require a special election, which Democrats believe they have a good chance of winning.
Fox News: FBI missed 'clear warning sign' of Clinton-led effort to 'manipulate' bureau for 'political purposes'
Special Counsel John Durham found that the FBI failed to act on a warning sign that the bureau was a target of a Hillary Clinton-led effort to influence the law enforcement process for political purposes ahead of the 2016 presidential election. Durham referred to a plan stirred up by Clinton's campaign in July 2016 to tie then-candidate Donald Trump to Russia to distract from the investigation into her email server and mishandling of classified information. Durham found that the FBI did not have any actual evidence to support its counterintelligence investigation into whether Trump and members of his campaign were colluding or coordinating with Russia to influence the 2016 campaign.
The Federalist Papers: The Alberta Uprising: Province Wants to Separate from Canada, Become 51st State
The Alberta 51 Project is pushing for the Canadian province to become the 51st state of America in order to escape Canada's increasing authoritarianism. The group cites cultural differences, a dissatisfaction with the Canadian government and a desire for minimal government interference as the reasons for their movement. They believe the American republican system, freedom, and Constitution are superior to Canada’s monarchy.

Foreign Policy: Why the U.S. Should Close Its Overseas Military Bases
Human Rights Watch released a report condemning the United Kingdom and the United States for forcefully expelling the Chagossian people from their ancestral homeland in the 1960s and 1970s to make way for a U.S. military base on Diego Garcia. However, stationing troops at overseas military installations has become a cornerstone of U.S. foreign and defense policy. Advocates of a forward-deployed posture claim that these bases deter enemies, reassure allies, and help the U.S. military respond rapidly in times of crisis. But many argue that rather than keeping the barbarians at the gate, the gates themselves have drawn the United States into reckless and unpopular conflicts, tempting policymakers into knee-jerk military responses rather than diplomatic ones, and provoke enemies rather than deter them.
Fox News: Russian national wanted in 'global ransomware campaign' held DC, NJ police data hostage: DOJ
Russian national Mikhail Pavlovich Matveev has been indicted by the Justice Department for his alleged involvement in a global ransomware campaign that targeted law enforcement agencies, hospitals, and government agencies worldwide, resulting in ransom demands as high as $400 million. Matveev is charged with intentional damage to a protected computer and threats relating to a protected computer. The indictments unsealed on Tuesday alleged that Matveev had helped operate ransomware groups such as LockBit, Babuk, and Hive, among others.
Fox News: Early warning, preparedness likely saved thousands of lives during Cyclone Mocha
The warnings and preparedness ahead of Cyclone Mocha likely saved thousands of lives in Bangladesh and Myanmar. The Bangladesh Meteorological Department issued early warnings, allowing authorities to evacuate people in time. However, there are concerns for a large number of people still unaccounted for in areas where preparations were lacking. The world’s largest refugee camp in Cox’s Bazar district moved thousands of Rohingya from Myanmar to safety, but camps for displaced Rohingya in Myanmar were hit harder and have limited aid. The Indian Meteorological Department closely tracked the storm and issued regular updates, helping authorities move coastal communities to safer areas. The increase of extreme weather events is becoming a rising concern worldwide, particularly among low-income countries and small island states. Tropical cyclones in the Bay of Bengal are becoming more intense more quickly due to climate change, and improving ways to warn people is increasingly crucial.
Breitbart: Peter Schweizer: House’s Hunter Findings Are Just the Beginning
The House panel investigating the Biden family's business deals has found over $10 million in payments from foreign sources to over 20 LLCs set up while Joe Biden was vice president. The committee has yet to access records for Joe Biden's private phone or bank accounts linked to a $1.5 billion dollar investment deal between Hunter Biden's business and an arm of the Chinese government. The payments from foreign sources to the family of the current President of the United States are considered unacceptable by Peter Schweizer, who first reported the story in 2018.
Euromaidan Press: The $ 300 billion question: Why the West does not confiscate Russian frozen assets despite Ukraine war
The EU and US have frozen $300 billion in Russian federal reserves, mostly held in US, UK, and German government bonds, but they have not confiscated them. Ukraine has already confiscated some Russian assets via the National Anti-Corruption Court, but the EU and US lack the legal framework for confiscation. The reason for inaction may be the fear of losing other investments, including Chinese reserves in Western currencies. Western countries could use the UN Security Council or an international agreement to confiscate the assets, but this requires political decisions and changes to legislation.
Fox News: Worldwide executions increased by 53% in 2022, rose in Iran, Saudi Arabia
Worldwide executions increased by 53% in 2022, with Iran and Saudi Arabia seeing significant rises. Amnesty International reported that 70% of executions in the Middle East and North Africa were carried out in Iran, where their numbers rose by 83% from 314 in 2021 to 576 in 2022. Saudi Arabia tripled its executions from 65 in 2021 to 196 in 2022. 20 countries executed a total of 883 people compared to 579 in 18 countries in 2021, with secrecy in some countries hindering an accurate assessment.
Indonesia was criticized for having one of the highest numbers of new death sentences in Asia, with 94% of 112 new sentences being based on drug-related offenses. Saudi Arabia invited the Syrian President to the Arab Summit in the oil-rich kingdom. At least 169 people were sentenced to death in Bangladesh, followed by India with 165 and Pakistan with 127. China, Iran, Saudi Arabia and Singapore carried out at least 325 executions in total for drug-related offenses, more than double the number recorded in 2021. 112 countries abolished the death penalty last year.

The Epoch Times: Bankrupt Crypto Lending Platform Opts for Liquidation
Crypto lender BlockFi will liquidate its cryptocurrency lending platform to pay its over 100,000 creditors, owed an estimated $1.3 billion. The move is expected to benefit creditors who are anxiously awaiting payouts after BlockFi collapsed following the breakdown of FTX in November 2022. According to the filing made with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Trenton, New Jersey, several counterparties were involved in litigation against BlockFi, including three of the world's most significant crypto firms, FTX, Alameda Research, and Core Scientific. However, the company’s Creditors Committee has blamed BlockFi’s failure on poor management decisions and even suggests that the firm misled them by portraying itself as a victim of FTX and Alameda Research, calling it a "false case narrative."
The Epoch Times: Major Tech Company to Cut 11,000 Jobs as Part of 'Turnaround' Plan
Telecom giant Vodafone will lay off 11,000 employees across Europe and Africa, following a €14.7bn ($15.9bn) decline in group core earnings, below the company's own guidance. New CEO Margherita Della Valle, who launched the turnaround when appointed in April, said the move would help cut complexity, streamline the operation and cut costs, adding "our performance has not been good enough. To consistently deliver, Vodafone must change." The company is also contemplating a strategic review in Spain and is still to conclude discussions with Hutchison's Three UK about consolidating market share in Britain.

The Epoch Times: Wallace Denies UK Will Be ‘Dangerously Exposed’ When Transport Aircraft Cut
UK Defence Secretary Ben Wallace defends the decision to retire the country's last C-130J Hercules transport aircraft in favour of the A400M Atlas military cargo aircraft. Critics argue that the decision leaves the UK exposed, citing internal documents showing the Atlas A400M is "plagued by problems," with a majority of the fleet unavailable for flying missions. Wallace insists the A400M is "performing" and "outperforms" the Hercules in most areas. Labour MP Dan Jarvis asks the government for an "absolute assurance" that the transition to the Atlas A400M will not result in a loss of operational capability.

Red State: Dodgers Plan to Honor Anti-Catholic LGBT Group
The L.A. Dodgers are hosting "Pride Night" on June 16 and giving the "Community Hero" award to the anti-Catholic group of LGBT activists, The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence.

This move alienates a large number of Dodgers' fan base that is Hispanic and largely Catholic.
Daily Wire: Rick Warren’s Saddleback Church Ordains Woman To ‘Campus Pastor’ Role Amid Southern Baptist Female Minister Controversy
Saddleback Church ordained a woman to serve as a campus pastor despite the Southern Baptist Convention's decision to disfellowship the church over similar moves. This comes as the Convention sees the largest single-year membership drop in at least a century, with some identifying female pastors as evidence of the denomination’s theologically liberal drift. Churches in the Southern Baptist Convention must adhere to the Baptist Faith and Message doctrinal statement, which restricts the office of pastor to men. There are concerns that Saddleback's move could result in further controversy at the upcoming Convention.

Human Events: ADAM COLEMAN: ACLU’s lawsuit against child sex changes smudges
legal line between children and adults
The ACLU is suing Montana over a law banning child sex changes, claiming it violates equal protection laws. But this conflates the rights of adults and children, who are purposely separated to protect them from harm. The ACLU is advocating for harmful, experimental treatments for children that are elective and carry high health risks. They're also challenging a parent's right to dictate their child's health care, disregarding the need for parental responsibility and legal norms. Pushing for children's transition rights undermines their safety and wellbeing and sets a dangerous precedent.
The Epoch Times: State Supreme Court Allows Mother to Vaccinate Children for COVID-19 Against Father's Objections
Rhode Island Supreme Court ruled that two children should receive COVID-19 vaccines, despite objections from their father following a court case that reached the state’s highest court. Their mother won the case, arguing that the children needed to receive COVID-19 vaccines, even though they had recovered from COVID-19 since neither party had unreasonably withheld their consent to medical treatment. Joshua Nagel, the girls' father, argued that he should have ruled in his favour as the judge found his concerns “not unreasonable.” However, the court ruled in favour of the children's mother, stating that parents could return to the family court to resolve stalemates regarding the children's medical treatment.

Forbes: FTC Suing To Stop Amgen’s $27.8 Billion Purchase Of Horizon Therapeutics
The Federal Trade Commission is suing Amgen over its proposed $27.8bn acquisition of Horizon Therapeutics, as the FTC is concerned that the deal could harm patients of Horizon's two fastest-growing drugs, Tepezza and Krystexxa. The FTC argued that Amgen could offer bundled discounts and other incentives that could steer pharmacy benefit managers, health insurers and hospitals towards prescribing Tepezza and Krystexxa, blocking competition to the drugs. The lawsuit was filed in response to complaints received about rebates and fees paid to influence favour for high-cost drugs.
Fox News: Italian cocaine-sniffing dog finds 3 tons of drugs hidden in banana shipment
Italian police used a dog with a nose for cocaine to seize more than 3 tons of the drug hidden in a shipment of bananas from Ecuador. The cocaine, estimated to be worth $900m on the street, was of the finest quality and destined for Armenia. Customs police became suspicious about two containers on a cargo ship that recently arrived at the port of Gioia Tauro, in the toe of the Italian peninsula, where they found the hidden drugs. The port has a high level of mafia activity.
Meanwhile, in Washington State, doctors are reporting an increase in cases of marijuana that has been laced with fentanyl, a powerful opioid linked to a surge in overdose deaths. With a deadline fast approaching to decriminalise drugs, the state is scrambling to try to get a new drug possession law onto the statute books.

Posobiec also mentioned George Zimmerman and Trayvon Martin, the Michael Brown and Darren Wilson case, the death of George Floyd, and the ongoing case of Andrew Lester and Ralph Yarl. Posobiec argued that there appears to be a concerted effort by the Left to condemn those who defend themselves in violent situations, and that conservatives and progressives have different beliefs about human nature.

Las Vegas Aces head coach Becky Hammon was suspended for two games by the WNBA for violating the league and team's respect in the workplace policies, as well as having their first-round pick in 2025 rescinded, following an investigation stemming from former player Dearica Hamby's allegations of being bullied and manipulated for being pregnant, which led to a trade.

The Epoch Times: IN-DEPTH: International Community Allowed Chinese Regime to Expand Human Rights Abuses
The US Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) says the Western strategy of separating trade negotiations from human rights abuses allowed China to engage in severe violations and persecution of people of faith, calling it a "strategic blunder." USCIRF chair, Nury Turkel, noted China has been recommended since 1999 to be designated as a “country of particular concern” and that its poor record on religious freedom deteriorates. Turkel believes that decoupling human rights from trade negotiations let China create repressive policies against religions and did not help them become an economically prosperous nation. Turkel fears that business interests and American global interests have a much more important role than people’s rights and that the international community bears some responsibility for helping the Chinese regime to develop into a “genocidal regime.”

The real point of controversy is the formation of the Black reparations task force.

However, local fishing communities are concerned about safety, and neighbouring countries have protested.
