The Epoch Times: Bigger Than Watergate
Current executive branch illegality is far deeper and more dangerous than Watergate, revealed by the Durham Report and House Republican hearings. Nixon's campaign sent men to burglarize the Democratic National Committee headquarters, leading to his ultimate resignation. In contrast, Attorney General Merrick Garland is obstructing justice and corrupting institutions, such as the IRS, FBI, and CIA, to protect Biden and his family. Corruption is pervasive and systemic, and reform is desperately needed.

Daily Wire: Here Are The Seven Cities Where Rent Exceeds 30% Of Median Income
Americans are spending an "uncomfortably high" portion of their income on rent, with seven cities seeing residents paying more than 30% of median income levels to rent an apartment. The cost-of-living concerns and lack of affordable housing are putting pressure on low-income families and causing them to make difficult life trade-offs. Rental demand has surged, causing rates to spike, while decreased construction levels for residential real estate contribute to the overall shortage of housing. Across the US, rental markets are seeing decreases in unit sizes as people look for affordable homes.
Median home prices recently fell year-over-year, but elevated mortgage rates are keeping properties less affordable for prospective buyers. Homeowners are clinging to low-rate mortgages, further limiting the number of houses on the market and decreasing affordability for buyers. Public health mandates and supply chain constraints have led to decreased construction levels for residential real estate and induced high mortgage rates. Even as the housing market experiences a shortage of 3.8 million properties, rental demand has surged as people look for affordable housing.

McDonough, calling the decision a "remarkable disregard for the First Amendment and hostility toward basic military history and the traditions of the United States." They argue that the cross is a symbol of military history and has been used for over a century to honor US military personnel.

The Epoch Times: Time to Listen to the Hundred Years Old Henry Kissinger
The US has finally provided Ukraine with F-16 fighter jets and Abrams tanks in their struggle against Russia. The Biden administration's policies towards Ukraine have been commendable in their generosity, but they lack a clear purpose and strategy. There is a need for an exit strategy that aligns both with what is militarily feasible and what is essential for West security. Foreign policy must revolve around two objectives: to accept Ukraine's independence unconditionally and to attract Russia back towards the West. It is time for Western nations to take action and address these objectives to accomplish a successful exit strategy.

Fox News: Belarus opposition group urges EU to maintain sanctions on Belarusian fertilizer producer

The group alleges that this violates the Geneva conventions against war crimes. Latushka and his team hope to bring their evidence to The Hague, with the aim of securing an arrest warrant for Lukashenko, as they did for Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Fox News: Iran building nuclear facility deep enough that US bombs would likely be incapable of destroying it: Report
Iran has built a nuclear facility under the Zagros Mountains that experts believe would be harder to destroy by conventional US weapons. Four entrances are being dug into the mountainside and analysts estimate the facility is at depths of 260 and 328 feet. Satellite imagery shows a site protected by fencing, anti-aircraft batteries, and Iran's paramilitary Revolutionary Guard. Kelsey Davenport, director of nonproliferation policy at the Arms Control Association, called this scenario a "nightmare" risk that could escalate the potential for conflict. Despite the fact that the US military has a powerful bomb designed to penetrate deep into underground facilities used to enrich uranium, it is doubtful whether this bomb could penetrate this deeper Iranian underground facility.
Iran is continuing its inching towards the ability to make nuclear weapons, with the US Waving photos of a powerful bomb designed to penetrate underground facilities, which may not be effective for reaching the new depths at this Iranian facility. Under President Obama's previous agreement, Iran was prohibited from enriching uranium above 3.67% pure. Since the agreement was abandoned, Iran has been enriching uranium up to 60%. While Iran is claiming transparency with its peaceful nuclear activities, its program has been driven underground, making it harder for international nuclear inspectors to assess the sites. One expert warns that "driving Iran's nuclear program further underground increases the proliferation risk." Although President Biden made rekindling the nuclear deal with Iran a primary objective of his administration, talks have "stalled."

Lula's statement that Russia and Ukraine did not want to talk led to an admission of defeat in terms of Brazilian mediation.
The Epoch Times: Canadian Public Pension Fund Investments in China Draw Heightened Scrutiny
Canada's two largest public pension funds are facing increased scrutiny over their investments in China amid worsening relations between the two countries and allegations that some investments are funding the persecution of China's Uyghur minority. Representatives of the Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan and the British Columbia Investment Management Corporation told a parliamentary committee studying Canada-China relations that they had paused new direct investment in China due to the increasing risks associated with the country. Mehmet Tohti of the Uyghur Rights Advocacy Project claims that Canadians' pensions are being invested in companies that benefit from or help enable the Chinese government’s persecution of the Uyghur people. The UN Human Rights Office said last August that China is committing “serious human rights violations” against the Uyghur people in China's Western Xinjiang region.

The Federalist Papers: Florida Realtor: Disney's Made a Big Mistake with Orlando Employees
Disney employees have decided they want to stay in the Orlando metropolitan area of Florida, despite the company cancelling plans to develop a Lake Nona corporate facility there.

The cancellation of the Lake Nona project is believed to be connected to the company’s feud with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis over his education reform plan.

Brandon McGlone, an Air Force veteran, was sentenced to complete a "diversion treatment" program for military veterans rather than prison for his violent rampage in California several years ago.

McGlone's defense team cited PTSD and substance abuse resulting from his military service, and he was allowed to face justice in Veterans Treatment Court after pleading no contest to several charges, including assault with caustic chemicals. If he fails to complete at least 18 months of treatment, he could face up to eight years behind bars.

Forbes: The New York Knicks Should Think About Trading Obi Toppin
New York Knicks forward Obi Toppin is eligible for a contract extension before the start of next season, but it's unclear if the Knicks will offer him a contract due to his limited playing time and crowded frontcourt. Toppin's offensive ability was not used accurately this season, as he primarily functioned as a spot-up shooter and saw the proportion of his three-point shots increase significantly. Toppin's future with the Knicks is uncertain, and he may be traded this summer to a team where his offensive abilities can be utilized more effectively.
