Fox News: KS Gov. Laura Kelly vetoes funding for Quindaro Ruins development project
Kansas Governor Laura Kelly vetoed state funding for a plan to develop Quindaro Ruins, a national historic landmark important to Black state Rep. Marvin Robinson, who had voted to override Kelly's veto of bills restricting abortion and transgender rights. The plan to develop Quindaro was not vetted and added to the budget by Republicans. Robinson had supported preserving the Quindaro site for several decades. Kansas' new bathroom law, which could also prevent transgender people from changing their driver's license gender markers, was another bill Robinson voted in favor of. Critics see the law as attempting the "erasure" of transgender people.
The Epoch Times: Barbara Kay: False Allegations of Sexual Assault Leave Shattered Lives in Their Wake
A Manhattan federal court jury has found President Donald Trump guilty of battery and defamation, but as the criminal statute of limitations had lapsed, Trump won't face prison time. The recent verdict likely won’t affect his political ambitions. The ease with which even unsupported allegations of sexual assault can ruin men's lives is highlighted by a case where an NFL player was accused of rape by a teenager but was later cleared of all charges. False allegations of rape in England and Wales average around 3–4 percent. False accusers need to face stiffer consequences than they presently do.
National Review: The Corner: Real Talk About Fake Images
The use of AI-generated images in political campaigns and propaganda has been warned about, but recent examples suggest the images are unlikely to fool anyone other than those who want to be fooled. Examples include a fake military image of Trump and an Amnesty International image generator that was used to depict anonymous protesters in Colombia. The use of AI images is more likely to be counterproductive to its users than an effective tool in swaying public opinion.
Euromaidan Press: Ukraine’s Supreme Court head detained on suspicion of USD 3 million bribe
Supreme Court Chief Vsevolod Kniazev was arrested on suspicion of receiving a $3m bribe from oligarch Kostiantyn Zhevago. The National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU) confirmed “large-scale corruption in the Supreme Court” and searches have been conducted involving 18 additional judges of the Supreme Court. Kniazev and another individual were taken into custody as investigations continue. Tycoon Zhevago denied involvement in bribing Supreme Court judges, refuting any connection between this case and the Supreme Court's ruling on 19 April 2023, which overturned the invalidation of the 2002 agreement on the sale and purchase of 40.19% of shares in Ferrexpo's Poltava Mining and Processing Plant. The Supreme Court judges plan to initiate a vote of no confidence in Kniazev.

The left-wing hypocrisy on gun control is exposed by constitutional attorney Mark W. Smith in his new book, 'Disarmed.' He highlights how the same left-wingers who are arming Ukraine with fully automatic weapons are trying to disarm Americans.

Breitbart: Legal Experts: Emails Show Hunter Biden Broke the Law Peddling Influence While Joe Biden Was VP
Hunter Biden may have violated the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) when he allegedly secured a meeting between a foreign national and then-Vice President Joe Biden, according to legal experts. FARA requires individuals lobbying for foreign organizations to register with the DOJ and disclose their activities and compensation. Emails obtained by Fox News suggest that Hunter was attempting to secure a deal with his associates in bonds worth billions of dollars. The evidence, which suggests Hunter violated FARA by serving as an unregistered foreign agent for China and Ukraine, might not be included in potential charges. American First Legal Foundation also filed a complaint that Hunter Biden advised the office of Vice President Joe Biden in 2014 on how to handle media inquiries regarding his position on Ukrainian Energy company Burisma.

PJ Media: Capitalism Works: Toronto’s ‘Anti-Capitalist Cafe’ Shuts Down After Just a Year in Business
The Anarchist Café in Toronto, an anti-capitalist café, is closing down due to lack of business. The owner, Gabriel Sims-Fewer, had hoped to fulfill the dreams of most service workers by not having to tolerate the presence of "professional class-traitors" and had experimented with living and working in ways that don't embrace capitalism, but it appears that people chose not to patronize his establishment. Sims-Fewer's own words reveal the inherent contradiction of communism and its burning hatred for those who oppose it.
Fox News: Hawley says Washington, media to blame for erosion of masculinity among American men
Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo. blames Washington policymakers and the media for creating a crisis of masculinity among American men. He asserts that a lot of American men are not seeking jobs because policies that gave away jobs to China have made it harder for them to find work. In addition, Hawley believes the media is making the problem worse by favoring men who fit the 'androgynous consumer' mold, a new ideal of the "Epicurean left" in big corporations and corporate media.
Hawley argues that Andrew Tate, an influencer with over 6.5 million followers who says he represents masculinity, is not a good role model. Hawley claims that Tate has bought into the left's idea that masculinity is inherently toxic and is simply owning it. Instead, he argues that not all masculinity is toxic: it's a lie that the left tells, which is making men search for someone to challenge them, such as Tate.

Euromaidan Press: Russia makes progress in Bakhmut center, Ukraine stabilizes flanks – British intel
Ukraine is making tactical progress in Bakhmut, with Ukrainian forces stabilizing the flanks of the town and holding Russia's western advances. The Russian frontline has been forced back to the north-west of the town, allowing Ukrainian forces to re-establish a more secure use of the key 0506 supply road.
Spectator USA: How will Putin handle Prigozhin’s ‘treachery?’
US intelligence reports suggest that Yevgeny Prigozhin, the businessman behind the Wagner mercenary army, tried to cut a deal with HUR, Ukrainian military intelligence. According to the reports, Prigozhin offered to supply insider intelligence to Kiev on the location and disposition of regular Russian military units and ammunition stocks in return for the contested city of Bakhmut. However, the Ukrainians rejected the offer suspecting double-dealing. Prigozhin dismissed the reports as a smear and accused “people from Rublyovka” of undermining him. This is an example of Putin’s style of managing the elite proving dangerously dysfunctional when transplanted to the battlefield.
If Putin ignores revelations of Prigozhin’s attempted deal or gives him a symbolic slap on the wrist, he will show himself as weak. Any missteps make it more likely that when he is faced with some true systemic crisis, the elite will decide he neither deserves their support, nor is dangerous enough to compel it. This poses a challenge for the president, who is clearly uncomfortable with any major reshuffles at the top of his security structures. Putin may be tempted to try and ignore these revelations in the name of not disrupting Wagner at a time when it is still at the forefront of the battle for Bakhmut.

The Epoch Times: Nearly 75% of Trucking Companies Haven't Added Green Trucks to Fleets Despite Federal Grants: Report
Despite a federal grant that covers up to 50% of the cost to retrofit truck fleets with lower-emission substitutes, 74% of transport-trucking companies have not replaced any trucks in their fleets over the past three years. The companies cited cost as the biggest barrier to implementing retrofits, according to a report by the Department of Natural Resources. The Green Freight Program was launched last December, covering 50% of the retrofitting cost, but only 18% of companies' executives who participated in the survey had heard of it. The survey also showed that only 5% of respondents had participated in any government-funding program.
Forbes: Chile’s Nationalization Of Lithium : “Green Protectionism” Endangering Energy Transition
Chile's President Gabriel Boric announced the nationalization of lithium reserves, citing economic and environmental reasons. Chile is the second biggest producer of lithium, with considerable expertise and equipment to sustain production. The US is highly dependent on Chilean lithium, and with green technology progress, our dependence on lithium will only deepen. This nationalization will likely result in an economic clash between supplying and demanding nations, with the potential emergence of an "REE OPEC". Law makers should consider applying anti-trust regulation to lithium monopolists.

Tierra del Fuego, La Pampa, and Salta are prominent petro-provinces, which are also home to natural gas reserves.

The Epoch Times: Gerber Baby Formula Potentially Contaminated With Bacteria Distributed to Stores Across US Despite Recall: FDA
Gerber baby formula that was recalled in March due to potential contamination with Cronobacter sakazakii was distributed to multiple retailers even after the initial recall notice was published, say federal health officials. Associated Wholesale Grocers Inc. distributed the product to retailers across Alabama, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Ohio, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia. Cronobacter infections can become life-threatening and can cause severe sepsis or meningitis in infants under 12 months old, particularly those who are born prematurely or who have weakened immune systems. Some major US formula manufacturers have had to recall their products in recent years over concerns surrounding bacteria contamination.

Breitbart: Former Associate Accuses Rudy Giuliani of Sexual Assault in $10M Lawsuit
Noelle Dunphy has filed a 22-count lawsuit accusing Rudy Giuliani, former New York City Mayor, of sexual assault and demanding at least $10 million in damages. Dunphy claimed Giuliani coerced her into maintaining a “secret” employment relationship, refused to pay her annual salary of $1 million, and demanded oral sex while taking calls from his “high-profile friends and clients” on speakerphone, including former President Donald Trump. Dunphy alleged she overheard Giuliani talking with Trump about how to deal with the investigation being conducted by Robert Mueller. Giuliani denied the accusations and called them an “attempt at extortion.”

Spectator USA: AI could render Tinder and Hinge redundant
Tinder has 530 million users, while Badoo has 318 million. Yet, a new dating app is emerging. Teaser AI, to be released soon, plans to inject artificial intelligence into matchmaking. It allows users to chat with an AI bot designed to replicate their prospective match before actually conversing with the real person. The aim is to identify a suitable candidate without needing multiple matches. AI-powered dating apps will analyze and interpret user data, raising the potential for personalized and successful matches. Although Tinder has 530 million users, it is seen as submerged in a sea of superficial swiping that relies on sexual attraction. The hope is science can offer mutual attraction by allowing AI to do the heavy lifting.

Boating Mag: On Board With: Addy White
Addy turns microplastic into custom jewelry and raises awareness about ocean pollution. She started this work during the pandemic after she learned how dangerous microplastics are to marine life. She collects the microplastics by walking on the beach, carefully cleans them, and then forms gemstone-like pieces using bio-based epoxy. Her company, Ocean Plastics, has a program where people can send microplastic to her, and she will create custom jewelry and send it back for free, as thanks for cleaning the beach. Suzuki Marine has partnered with her to launch a program for owners of 115 and 140 horsepower models to turn engine-caught plastics into custom-made jewelry.
