PJ Media: The Morning Briefing: Durham Serves Up a Heap of Obvious Too Long After the Damage Was Done
The DOJ and FBI failed to uphold the law during the Russiagate investigation, according to John Durham's report. The investigation into nonexistent collusion disrupted Trump's presidency and wasted taxpayer dollars.
Fox News: DeSantis to huddle with donors in Miami, another sign presidential campaign is imminent
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is holding a meeting with his top financial backers next week, which may signal a White House campaign is imminent. The gathering will take place in Miami and is a "pre-briefing for our top supporters". DeSantis is legally barred from receiving or asking for contributions unless he formally declares his candidacy, but he can meet with prospective donors to brief them on his plans if he does not solicit contributions. The meeting seems to be the latest in a series of moves in recent days that indicate the launch of DeSantis' 2024 presidential campaign is nearing.
The Federalist: Whistleblower: IRS Removes 'Entire Team' Probing Hunter Biden
A whistleblower claims that the Department of Justice (DOJ) removed him and his investigative team from the Hunter Biden tax fraud case. The Attorney for the whistleblower, Mark Lytle, has sent a letter to congressional leaders asking for the matter to be given attention. Hunter Biden, the son of President Joe Biden, has publicly admitted to being under criminal investigation for tax fraud since December 2020, according to Just the News. The DOJ’s alleged decision to remove the whistleblower and his team from the case appears to contradict IRS Commissioner Daniel Werfel's claim that there would be no retaliation for whistleblowers.
Liberty Nation: Joe Biden Has Lost the Internet
President Biden appears to be struggling to gain a foothold on social media, despite dominating with three Twitter accounts and having a supposed online advantage over his opposition. The vast majority of comments and interactions with the President's posts are negative responses due to a low-quality feed of content that is frequently perceived as "malarkey." In comparison, former President Trump has accrued a considerable following, and a potential rival, Governor Ron DeSantis, appears to have a similar presence to Biden on the platform. This could suggest that while social media has become essential to political campaigning, it may not always translate into success in the real world.
Fox News: Prosecutors drop all charges against Andrew Gillum, former Democratic mayor who lost to Ron DeSantis
Federal prosecutors are dropping corruption charges against Andrew Gillum. Prosecutors initially said they would retry Gillum after a jury acquitted him on one count of lying to the FBI but failed to reach a verdict on 17 counts of wire fraud and a wire fraud conspiracy count at the conclusion of his May 4 trial. However, on Monday, the prosecution filed a one-paragraph motion that asked a judge to dismiss the remaining charges against Gillum and his co-defendant, Sharon Lettman-HIcks.
National Review: The Corner: Fake Electors and Fake Crimes in Georgia
Possible charges being contemplated in Georgia involving Trump's efforts to get electors certified from a state he lost in 2020. State election laws may provide criminal penalties that are justly used in a truly unprecedented situation, but election law can be a famously abstruse area. There were no fake electors, and it would require a pretty extraordinary legal argument to criminalize what the electors did. It may yet be that Fulton County Prosecutor Fani Willis will pursue a case focused more closely on what Trump did.
The Epoch Times: The Enemy Within: Jean Raspail’s 'The Camp of the Saints' 50 Years Later
An old professor witnesses an extraordinary invasion of refugees from India, supported by political radicals, the Catholic Church, sympathetic officials, and naïve supporters. These migrants quickly overwhelm Europe, eradicating culture and government. Those who resist die at the hands of the migrants or are destroyed by the bombs of a revived air force. Critics call the novel racist, while defenders see it as a warning against mass immigration and the destruction of the customs and beliefs of the West. The novel warns against goodwill and generosity unaccompanied by prudence and wisdom, which can lead to evil and death.
Fox News: DeSantis endorses Kelly Craft in pivotal Kentucky governor's race, setting stage for epic clash with Trump
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has endorsed former U.N. Ambassador Kelly Craft to be the next governor of Kentucky, going against former President Donald Trump who supports Craft's opponent, Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron. DeSantis said that Craft will stand up to the left as they try to indoctrinate children with their woke ideology, fight against the policies trying to end the coal industry in Kentucky, and do everything in her power to end the fentanyl crisis that is hurting Kentucky families. The winner of Tuesday's contested Republican primary will go on to challenge Democratic Governor Andy Beshear in November.
Liberty Nation: Hillary Lied, Democracy Died: The Durham Report
Special Counsel John Durham released his final report on Crossfire Hurricane, the FBI's investigation into alleged collusion between the 2016 Trump presidential campaign and the Russian government. The report accuses FBI officials involved with the investigation of failing to verify allegations, ignoring exculpatory evidence, failing to interview key witnesses, and misleading evidence to obtain a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act warrant. The report concludes that the FBI badly underperformed and failed in its duties, causing severe reputational harm that could have been avoided if the actors followed principles of objectivity and integrity.
The Durham report cites most of the evidence that supports the suspicion of partisan bias, although it does not conclude that politics drove the investigation. The report mentions an observation that investigators would ignore evidence and assume nefarious intent in the Trump-Russia collusion affair. The FBI effectively skipped two steps and went straight to a full investigation in a matter of days after activating Crossfire Hurricane. The report concludes with a quote from a former US Attorney General that warns against using the law as an instrument of partisan purpose.
The Federalist: DHS Vids Show How Far Biden Admin Will Go To Remove Dissent
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) were producing short videos for "bystander training" to encourage citizens to report family and friends for spreading "disinformation about COVID or expressing skepticism toward the U.S. government on social media." The DHS believes that pro-life soccer moms, conspiracy theorists, and white teenage males who hurl "racial epithets" and flash guns are the main perpetrators of terrorism, rather than jihadists, radical Marxists, or incels, and equally to be feared. The DHS intended to mobilize Americans to police each other's personal beliefs in addition to other agencies that monitor and imprison Americans for exercising their first amendment rights. The DHS's propaganda aims to turn citizens against each other, conditioning conservatives to hide their views from polite society, refrain from calling out Biden's incompetence, and expect to be censored, while emboldening leftists to attack those who refuse to conform to the party line. This is part of "Dark Brandon's" agenda, and he intends to run on it for the 2024 election.

National Review: How Democratic Cities Can Win Back Residents
Americans are leaving big, blue cities like Chicago, Los Angeles, and New York City because of high taxes, unaffordability, and crime instead of a mere preference for the suburbs. The COVID-19 pandemic only acted as a catalyst for this exodus rather than a primary reason. Cities can flourish again if elected leaders embrace a moderate approach to public policy, as in the case of New York City's new mayor Eric Adams, and if residents fight for change instead of fleeing. Therefore, Americans will soon move back to cities regardless of the political hue if big-city leaders address citizens' needs.

National Review: The Corner: The Wagner Group: Prelude, Finale, or . . .
Yevgeny Prigozhin, boss of the Wagner Group, has been publicly feuding with Russian military commanders, accusing them of denying his forces necessary supplies. Prigozhin is also believed to have maintained secret communications with Ukrainian military intelligence. Prigozhin offered Ukraine information on Russian troop positions in exchange for a Ukrainian withdrawal from Bakhmut, according to army and US intelligence reports, adding strain to already frayed relations with military command, as most of Wagner’s fighters are Russian convicts who were sent to Ukraine to fight in a foreign war.
Fox News: Ukraine shoots down 18 Russian missiles aimed at capital of Kyiv
Russian forces launched 18 missiles towards Kyiv, but Ukrainian forces successfully shot them all down before they reached their targets. The attack was an exceptional barrage of missiles from land, air, and sea, but Kyiv was bolstered by further air defenses from Western countries. The defense comes ahead of an expected spring counteroffensive by Ukraine in the war against Russia.
Euromaidan Press: Czech volunteer paramedic injured while rescuing wounded Ukrainian soldier dies in Prague
Project Phoenix Tactical Care reports the death of their founder, Taylor, who was injured in March in Donbas while training Ukrainian soldiers and rescuing the wounded from the battlefield. Taylor embodied Czechoslovak traditions and tirelessly organized humanitarian aid, delivering supplies to inaccessible areas, extracting civilians, and coordinating countless volunteers from the very first day of the war. He suffered shrapnel wounds during an artillery shelling while assisting in evacuating a wounded Ukrainian soldier and was evacuated to Prague Central Military Hospital in early April.

American Thinker: German foreign policy is grotesque
The lack of consensus on foreign policy in Germany has become apparent since the war in Ukraine. Many Germans are critical of America but still rely on them for protection and security. There is also strong reluctance towards the army and armaments, with debates about feminist foreign policy and pacifism dominating. The dependence on Russia for gas and China for technology has also left Germany vulnerable. It is time for a debate on what foreign policy truly means.

National Review: Biden’s Executive Overreach Kills American Energy Independence
The Biden administration's mission creep is driving up the cost of energy, and poor and middle-class Americans are disproportionately affected. The administration is using climate change as an excuse for overreaching executive power, resulting in unconstitutional actions that trample the separation of power and federalism. This trend can be seen across multiple federal agencies, including the EPA, SEC, and OCC, leading to higher prices for electricity and transportation without any real climate benefits.
Fox News: US announces an $11 billion investment to help bring clean energy to rural areas
The U.S. Department of Agriculture is investing nearly $11 billion in two programs to bring affordable clean energy to rural communities through rural electric cooperatives, renewable energy companies, and electric utilities. The Empowering Rural America program will provide $9.7 billion for rural electric cooperatives to create renewable energy, zero-emission, and carbon capture systems, while the Powering Affordable Clean Energy program will make $1 billion available in partially-forgivable loans for renewable energy projects like solar, wind, and geothermal. The goal is to provide affordable clean energy to vulnerable, disadvantaged, and Indigenous communities.
The investment could have a significant impact on rural America, but there is tension between building clean energy infrastructure and mining materials needed for it. While experts said the programs will have less impact than the Rural Electrification Act during the New Deal, funding for the new programs comes from the Inflation Reduction Act, generating hundreds of billions of dollars for renewable energy transition and environmental cleanup. In February, the Biden administration announced details on how states and nonprofits could apply for $27 billion in funding from a "green bank," and in March, officials announced $2 billion to create the Rural Energy for America Program.

Fox News: 2 New York detectives charged with stealing expensive Champagne at Electric Zoo festival on Randall's Island
Three New York City police detectives, including Wojciech Czech and Warren Golden, have been indicted for swiping two bottles of Champagne worth $2,900 while on duty at a drug enforcement operation at the Electronic Zoo festival on Randall's Island. Jonathan Gonzalez, the third detective, is also facing charges, with prosecutors saying he grabbed the bottles and handed them to Czech and Golden and that all three were involved in taking the alcohol. The detectives have been suspended from their jobs. The New York Police Department has said it will initiate "further discipline where appropriate."
Health officials have issued a warning over the party drug Molly following the death of a 20-year-old woman who attended the Electric Zoo festival. Several others have been hospitalized following the event that took place during Labor Day weekend. Officials have urged users to stay away from Molly, which is a form of ecstasy associated with illegal rave culture, and to instead listen to the advice of doctors. The drug, which can cause seizures, heart attacks and dehydration, has been blamed for several deaths in recent years.
American Thinker: Medical Mavens Discover Men and Women are Different
JAMA, the Journal of the American Medical Association, published a research letter about prostate cancer risks in transgender women, stating the obvious facts that they remain at risk. Biological males with prostates are at risk of prostate cancer just like any other male. There is a need for medical journals to focus on the harms of the transgender movement, rather than stating the obvious, and highlight the potential risks associated with gender-affirming choices.

Jackson Mahomes, brother of Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, is facing serious allegations stemming from a February incident at a Kansas restaurant. Mahomes is accused of pushing an employee who tried to retrieve his water bottle and later grabbing a restaurant owner by the throat, forcing her head back, and kissing her three times without consent. Mahomes has been charged with multiple counts of aggravated sexual battery, and his lawyer has denied the allegations. Mahomes is expected to be back in court Tuesday for a bond modification motion.
The Epoch Times: Michigan Boy, 14, Uses Slingshot to Prevent Sister, 8, From Being Kidnapped
A heroic Michigan teenager was able to prevent his younger sister from being kidnapped by firing off a slingshot at the would-be kidnapper. The 14 year old boy fired two shots at the 17 year old suspect, hitting him in the head and chest. The suspect was subsequently arrested and has been charged as an adult with one count each of attempted kidnapping/child enticement, attempted assault to do great bodily harm less than murder, and one count of assault and battery.
Fox News: 5 plead guilty in wire fraud scheme that created thousands of fake nursing diplomas, transcripts in Florida
Five people have pleaded guilty to wire fraud conspiracy after participating in a scheme to create fake nursing credentials that allowed individuals to work as registered, licensed practical or vocational nurses in various states across the US. The scam involved the sale of over 7,600 fraudulent nursing degree diplomas from three Florida-based nursing schools. The schools involved are now closed. Each of the guilty parties faces up to 20 years in prison at a hearing scheduled for July 27.
Fox News: Kayla Unbehaun found safe in North Carolina after being abducted as young child nearly 6 years ago
Kayla Unbehaun, who was 9 years old when her mother allegedly abducted her in 2017, has been found safe in North Carolina. Kayla was located after her mother, Heather, was issued a felony warrant for kidnapping in July 2017. A store owner recognized Kayla from an episode of "Unsolved Mysteries" and called police. Heather Unbehaun is now facing a child abduction charge and is being held on a $250,000 bond.
Fox News: LDS church rejects whistleblower's allegations from '60 Minutes' interview
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS) denied allegations made by a former employee who claimed in a "60 Minutes" interview that the Church is operating a "clandestine hedge fund" after having accumulated more than $100 billion in assets. David Nielsen, who worked for nine years at Ensign Peak Advisers, argued that the church should lose its tax-exempt status. The LDS has rejected his claims and views itself as being financially responsible and committed to its divine purpose.
Nielsen claimed that Ensign Peak had used false records and statements to falsely present as a charity, hoarding money and misleading church members. He alleged that the extra funds would be used for "the second coming." Nielsen resigned in 2019 and filed a 74-page whistleblower complaint with the Internal Revenue Service alleging that Ensign Peak violated its tax-exempt status by moving funds to for-profit businesses. The SEC later found that the Church "went to great lengths" to hide $32 billion in securities over nearly 20 years. SEC later announced charges that were settled in February when Ensign Peaks agreed to a $4 million fine, and the church agreed to pay $1 million.

Fox News: Regulators reacts as haddock, an Atlantic staple staple, continues to be overfished
Haddock, a staple seafood species on the East Coast, are experiencing overfishing, and regulators have cut catch quotas by over 80% to prevent collapse. Federal fishing managers cited a recent scientific assessment that found the Gulf of Maine haddock stock declined unexpectedly and that catch quotas were unsustainably high. However, some fishers report seeing plenty of haddock compared to what the federal government warns of. The overfishing warning arrives as more New England fishers rely on haddock than in previous decades since Atlantic cod has collapsed. The cuts mandate an 84% reduction in catch quotas for this fishing year, starting May 1, which applies to fishers who harvest haddock from the Gulf of Maine.

The Epoch Times: Apple Faces Planned Obsolescence Investigation in France
Apple is under investigation by the Paris Prosecutor's Office following a complaint from the advocacy group, Halte a L'Obsolescence Programme (HOP), which alleges that the company is deliberately rendering devices obsolete in order to force customers to purchase newer models. HOP cites "batterygate" as evidence of Apple’s deceptive marketing practices and programmed obsolescence and claims that the company’s serialization practices infringes on the right to repair devices. Apple has faced legal repercussions for these practices before, having been fined in France and Italy, and paid a $27 million fine in France in 2020.
