Fox News: Protestors condemn Christian church hosting 'family friendly' drag night: 'DEFEND PURITY, REJECT PERVERSION'
The First United Methodist Church in Sherman, Texas hosted a "family-friendly drag show" organized by Grayson County Pride, which was moved from its original location at a nearby park. The event, called "Pride Prom," attracted protestors from conservative advocacy groups, including "Protect Texas Kids" and "The New Columbia Movement," who marched near the venue with flags reading "DEFEND PURITY, REJECT PERVERSION."

The Epoch Times: John Brennan, Enemy of the People
The Durham report revealed that the FBI disregarded evidence contradicting the Steele dossier, which was used against former President Trump. CIA Director John Brennan misled the public for years, even after admitting there was no collusion. He signed a letter meant to push back on Trump during debates and continued to perpetuate the Russia collusion narrative. Brennan was also complicit in overseeing illegal spying on Senate staffers and lied about it, but faced no consequences. No one was held accountable for domestic spying or FBI interference in the 2016 election.

Breitbart: Ukraine's Zelensky Lands in Saudi Arabia to Meet MBS, Address Arab League
President Volodymyr Zelensky visited Saudi Arabia for meetings with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and an address to the League of Arab States. Their meeting reportedly focused on the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the protection of Muslims in Ukraine. Zelensky is expected to attend the G7 summit in Hiroshima after his visit to Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia has involved itself as a mediator in the Russian invasion of Ukraine and brokered a prisoner exchange last year. The Middle East has not embraced the Ukrainian cause as enthusiastically as Western Europe or East Asia, however, as several of Russia’s top allies are located there. Saudi Arabia has increased its purchases of Russian oil and has been buying large amounts of Russian oil for domestic consumption, then selling the more expensive Saudi product abroad for profit.
The Right Scoop: BREAKING: Joe Biden REVERSES on giving F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine

PJ Media: Biden Drone Strike Kills an Innocent Man Instead of a Terrorist
Joe Biden's track record on foreign policy is marked with incompetence, including his botched withdrawal from Afghanistan, his opposition to the raid that killed Osama bin Laden, and his kowtowing to China. Recently, the Biden administration claimed to eliminate a high-ranking al-Qaeda figure in Syria, only to retract the statement after realizing they had targeted an innocent father of ten. The use of drones in military operations can lead to collateral damage, and this was not the first time a Biden-authorized strike resulted in civilian deaths.
The Epoch Times: US, Taiwan Reach Deal on 1st Part of '21st Century' Trade Pact
The US and Taiwan have agreed to a trade pact covering customs and border procedures, regulatory practices, and small business, according to the US Trade Representative's office. The 21st Century Trade Initiative would be followed by talks on agriculture, digital trade, labour and environmental standards, state-owned enterprises, and non-market policies and practices. However, the initial agreement is not expected to affect goods tariffs but is intended to strengthen US-Taiwan relations and open Taiwan up to more US exports. The move follows Taiwan's President Tsai Ing-wen's meeting with high-ranking US politicians and comes before planned meetings between US officials and China's commerce minister.
Foreign Policy: South Africa’s Nonsensical Nonalignment
The diplomatic relationship between the US and South Africa may be affected by the Lady R ship, which is alleged to have transported weapons from South Africa to Russia and then back to South Africa. President Ramaphosa has formed an independent inquiry to investigate the issue, which could result in US economic sanctions and damage to the South African economy. South Africa’s stance of nonalignment and failure to articulate its Russia-Ukraine policy has resulted in confusion and a lack of clarity, which is damaging the country’s image and credibility.
Breitbart: China Leads Central Asia Summit to Counter G7 Japan Meeting
China held the China-Central Asia Summit in Xi'an, offering stability and financial support to BRI client states while the G7 countries held their summit in Japan to take aim at China and Russia. The Central Asian summit sends contrast signals to the G7, as it promotes cooperation and inclusiveness which represent world development trend. China has traditionally been considered Russia's backyard, but with Moscow's lack of ability to maintain stability and its failure to quell border skirmishes between Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan, China is stepping in to present itself as the preferred partner in the region and build economic power to counter the West.

Flag And Cross: Bernie Sanders Attempts To Push A To Enable Paid Sick Leave On A Federal Level
Sen. Bernie Sanders has introduced legislation to put an end to US companies being the only wealthy countries without guaranteed paid sick leave. The bill would allow workers to accrue up to seven days’ statutory paid sick leave for illness or the care of family members annually. The Family and Medical Leave Act currently obliges companies to offer unpaid leave. Eleven states and Washington DC offer paid leave ranging from one to three days. Sanders, a candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination, has described the absence of guaranteed paid sick leave for millions of US workers as a “national disgrace”.
Fox News: Republicans demand answers from NIH director after 2 involved in transgender youth study ‘died by suicide’
Republican lawmakers, including Senators Marco Rubio and Rand Paul, are demanding answers from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) over a study it funded on trans youth and hormones, which saw two participants die by suicide while 11 reported suicidal ideation. The study, which examined 315 subjects between the ages of 12 and 20 who identify as transgender and were given cross-sex hormones, has been branded a “fallacy” by lawmakers, who claim it will “almost certainly inflict devastating physical harm” on participants. The Republicans are asking for clarification on the study’s approval, including the specific ages of the minors who participated, and are demanding answers by June 9.

The Croatian-made Rimac Nevera, an all-wheel-drive electric hypercar, has set an impressive 23 production car performance records, including a 0-60 time of 1.74 seconds. However, there is some debate over whether the Nevera's performance really beat that of the Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170, which was able to reach 60 mph in 1.66 seconds, albeit with the help of a drag strip with traction compound. Dodge CEO Tim Kuniskis also raised the issue of whether a car that costs $2.2M really qualifies as a "production car".

doomed to fail in Seattle and everywhere else
The Biden administration plans to team up with five cities and California to reduce homelessness by 25% by 2025, focusing on the "Housing First" model and "Low Barrier" shelters.

The announcement comes as Seattle and King County continue to face negative PR and ongoing failures in combating homelessness, with many accusing CEO Marc Dones of incompetence and mismanagement.
