Breitbart: Nolte: Washington Post Won’t Return Fake Pulitzer, ‘Stands By’ Russia Reporting
The New York Times and Washington Post refuse to return their fake Pulitzer Prizes despite the Durham Report debunking the 2016 Trump-Russia collusion allegations. Calls have been made for the left-wing outlets to retract their lies and acknowledge wrongdoing. However, the media outlets stand by their false reporting and consider it virtuous because their goal was to work with the FBI to overthrow a sitting president. This highlights the dangerous moral code of American news corporations that advocate their goal of America living under centralized government fascism is so moral that any measure taken is moral .
The Epoch Times: The Great Underestimation of DeSantis Starts to Unravel
Gov. Ron DeSantis reminds voters and press that he possesses the promise, nimbleness, staff, and network needed to be a presidential candidate by striking a blow against his rival, former President Trump.

DeSantis's unscheduled stop in Iowa speaks to the scope of his organization and its competency, casting shade on Trump, who has spent months maligning DeSantis's character.

The Epoch Times: ANALYSIS: Conduct of Trump Town Hall Suggests CNN Has No Intention of Moving to the Center
CNN's recent town hall with former President Trump did not shake perceptions of the network's left-leaning bias despite their attempts to move towards the political center. While Chris Licht has been seeking to "turn down the temperature," the contentious town hall featuring Republican voters and moderator Kaitlan Collins confronting Trump about the 2020 election being stolen from him demonstrated that CNN has no intention of shifting towards the center. Media experts argue both conservative and liberal voters are unhappy with the town hall in an event that questioned CNN's motivations and why they gave Trump a platform.

The Epoch Times: Republican Committee Sets Out Political Priorities in 2023-2024 Election Cycle
The Republican State Leadership Committee (RSLC) is prioritizing legislative races in several states for the 2023-2024 election cycle to protect Republican majorities in state chambers from Democrat-affiliated groups. Currently, Republicans control 56 state chambers while Democrats hold 41, but Democrats are targeting eight legislative chambers across five states to take control of a majority of state legislatures in the country. The RSLC aims to maintain the GOP majority in the Virginia House and flip the Virginia Senate in 2023, while defending GOP supermajorities in Louisiana and Mississippi, and holding seats gained in the last election in New Jersey. In 2024, the RSLC wants to defend the GOP majority in several states and flip the Pennsylvania House and the state legislatures in Minnesota and Michigan.

The Epoch Times: China’s Dismal Press Freedom Score Highlights Brutal Treatment of Whistleblowers
China scores the second lowest out of 180 territories in the Worldwide Press Freedom Index due to clampdowns on journalism, suppressing citizens and citizen journalists alike.

Dr. Li Wenliang, a whistleblower on the virus, was admonished by Wuhan police before his death and Chinese whistleblowers continue to face a heavy price for reporting truth. A monument to whistleblowers has been unveiled in Southern California.
The Epoch Times: Three Female Scientists May Hold the Key to COVID's Origin: Experts
Three women connected to the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) have become the focus of discussions surrounding the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Director Wang Yanyi, virologist Shi Zhengli and military biochemist Chen Wei have all played significant roles in the institute’s pandemic response. Wang’s appointment to the position of director is considered to be the result of political maneuvering by the “Shanghai Gang,” a faction loyal to former Chinese dictator, Jiang Zemin. Meanwhile, Shi is nicknamed “Bat Woman” and has been the focus of speculation about potential mismanagement leading to a lab leak, whereas Chen’s rapid development of military vaccines has raised suspicions that the WIV had foreknowledge of the virus.

The Epoch Times: Home Depot Cuts Forecasts Amid Pullback on Home Improvements
Home Depot's Q1 revenue dropped from last year, falling short of analysts' expectations due to lumber deflation and bad weather, especially in the Western division. The company cut its annual sales forecast and predicted a decline in profit for the first time since 2009, attributing weak sales to Americans cutting back on remodeling their living spaces and the economy slowing down. Demand was also weak for discretionary items like patio furniture and grills, as well as appliances, flooring, kitchen, and bath.

Spectator USA: How tranq has made the fentanyl crisis even worse
Fentanyl-laced with tranq is an emerging threat in the US as addicts seek stronger highs and dealers scramble to keep their customers. This powerful sedative mixture is leading to overdoses and deaths, as its users are left unconscious for hours and don't respond to the life-saving opioid blocker Narcan. Even worse, it's an uncontrolled substance, which means that drug dealers can obtain it easily and sell it at a profit; even despite knowing how deadly this drug cocktail is. The US Government has been too slow to act, but this addiction crisis is a state of emergency that needs to be addressed urgently.
The Epoch Times: The Price of Prescription Drugs Expected to Fall for Retirees
Medicare prescription-drug expenses may be lowered by the prescription-drug provisions in the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act that will be phased in over seven years. Caps on insulin payments and free shingles vaccines starting this year are some of the cost-saving provisions that may require some changes to your existing prescription-drug regimen. Manufacturers of drugs used by Medicare beneficiaries will be required to pay rebates to Medicare if their drug prices increase faster than the rate of inflation. Rebates may slow price increases for all drug users, not just Medicare beneficiaries.
The New American: Big Pharma Funds Activist Group’s Scorecard Prodding Hospitals to Embrace Trans Agenda - The New American
Big Pharma, including Pfizer and the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America, are funding the Human Rights Campaign (HRC), a LGBTQ+ activist group's Healthcare Equality Index (HEI). The HEI encourages and practically forces US hospitals to comply with the radical transgender agenda, penalizing hospitals for perceived "discriminatory treatment," such as allowing for medical conscience exemptions. HRC's definition of "discrimination" has already forced insurers to pay for sex-change operations. The HEI is de facto regulatory of healthcare and has helped seed this ideology across US hospitals.

Forbes: Jeffrey Epstein Moved Money For Noam Chomsky, Paid Bard President Botstein $150,000, Report Says
Late financier Jeffrey Epstein paid $150,000 to Bard College president Leon Botstein in 2016 and transferred $270,000 for linguistics professor Noam Chomsky. Chomsky and Botstein met Epstein dozens of times after he was convicted of soliciting a minor for prostitution in 2008. Both say they had not received funds from Epstein for personal use after he became a registered sex offender. Chomsky said he decided to take part in the meetings in 2015 and 2016, despite knowledge of Epstein's criminal past, because he had served his sentence and, under US laws, had a clean slate.
Fox News: 'I would have wanted you on the subway': Donors send messages of support to Daniel Penny amid criminal charges

The incident, which involved Penny placing the man in a chokehold after he threatened fellow passengers on the train, has divided opinion between those who believe he acted heroically and those who object to the potential excessive force used. Since Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg decided to file charges against Penny, the fundraiser has raised more than $2.5 million to support the Marine veteran's legal defense.

Forbes: Blue Jays’ Matt Chapman Reaching New Heights In Advance Of His Free Agency
Matt Chapman's career as a young regular for the Oakland Athletics had MVP potential but his performance saw a one-year glitch in 2020 when he became an extreme grounder puller for the first time in his career, inviting overshifts and adding more batting average risk. His BB rate regressed upward, but the K surge continued into 2021, making him a low-average, 200+ K dead-pull occasional slugger who didn’t impact the baseball as badly as he once did. After moving to Toronto in 2022, his BB and K rates improved in 2023, and he appears to be reaching a new career peak. Chapman has emerged as a worthy rival to Vladimir Guerrero Jr. as the most dangerous weapon in the deep Blue Jay lineup.
