Breitbart: Migrant Apprehensions at Border Continue to Drop Post-Title 42
Daily apprehensions of migrants crossing the border have significantly declined to 2,900 from 9,000 following the end of Title 42 on May 11, contrary to the Department of Homeland Security warnings of up to 18,000 a day. The number of actual apprehensions is significantly less than anticipated amid the removal of Title 42. There were only 8,750 apprehensions and 3,441 got-aways during the past three days, according to Chief Raul Ortiz, and Del Rio Sector regained the number one position in Migrant apprehensions. The migrants found abandoned children, and Bob Price serves as the Breitbart Texas-Border team's associate editor and senior news contributor.

Red State: Senator Tim Scott Officially Announces His Run for the Presidency: 'The Next American Century Starts Today'
Senator Tim Scott announces his candidacy for President with great energy and a fresh format focusing on his love for America and his distinguished background. He differentiates himself from other Republican candidates like Donald Trump and Ron DeSantis. His announcement incorporated the future of America, which included a 12-year-old blonde girl named Heather Lynn that spoke on Scott's behalf. Scott reinforced the importance of mentors and his profound love for his mother. He offered a challenge and an invitation for Americans to join him on the journey. Senator Scott's message of hope will resonate and stick.
National Review: The Corner: Tim Scott’s Contagious Love of Country
Tim Scott is running for the Republican nomination on the platform of faith in the American dream. He believes that the American dream is still alive and capable of being realized. As an African-American Republican candidate, his candidacy has the potential to bond black leader and Republicans through America's churchly tradition of political oration. However, black progressives may react with mixed feelings as joining the conservative cause is generally seen as a sign of assimilation and normalization. Scott's candidacy needs another gear to be taken seriously. His most effective line in the speech is an attack on Biden's student-loan scheme, which Scott calls a hand-up that takes money from mechanics and gives it to grad students.
Fox News: NE Gov. Pillen scheduled to sign bill banning abortion at 12-weeks, restricting gender surgeries for minors
Nebraska conservatives pass a bill to restrict gender surgeries for minors and ban abortion after 12 weeks. Republican Gov. Jim Pillen is expected to sign it into law on May 22, 2023. The abortion ban will take immediate effect, while gender surgery restrictions will start on Oct. 1, 2023. The bill passed after an epic filibuster led by Omaha Sen. Machaela Cavanaugh, who slowed the business of passing laws to a crawl by introducing amendment after amendment to every bill that made it to the Senate floor.
Breitbart: Biden Campaign Looks to Retake Florida After Severe Democrat Setbacks
President Biden's campaign is strategizing to help the Democratic Party reclaim Florida in the 2024 presidential campaign. In recent election cycles, Florida has predominantly elected Republicans in statewide races and most congressional seats. The Biden campaign is investing resources to shift the state's color from red to blue, including coordinating with the Democratic National Committee, placing a staffer in Tallahassee, and arranging with donors for a rally in June. However, Biden's agenda appears unpopular, according to a recent poll showing 53% of Floridians view him unfavorably, and both former President Trump and Governor DeSantis lead Biden in a hypothetical matchup.
Spectator USA: Tim Scott appeals to a GOP of the past
South Carolina Senator Tim Scott, a successful black conservative politician, represents a challenge to the left's claims of GOP's racism. However, unlike Herman Cain or Ben Carson, Scott's appeal to the religious evangelical base may have a ceiling in his attempt to run for presidency. The test will be how deeply religious the GOP remains and whether it prefers an uplifting message or one animated by doomsaying.
Scott's personal story of overcoming poverty and hardscrabble beginnings to achieve great things informs his critique of leftist policies but may not appeal to Republican primary voters who prefer messages in line with the constant toxicity of the culture wars. The question is whether GOP voters are interested in feel-good talk about the country or in someone who promises to crush their political enemies. Unfortunately, the latter seems to be more popular these days.
The Epoch Times: McCarthy Believes Congress Will Get FBI Record Showing Alleged Biden Bribery Scheme
House Speaker Kevin McCarthy is pushing for the FBI to turn over a supposed document linking President Joe Biden to a pay-to-play bribery scheme while he was still vice president under President Barack Obama. He confirmed that he had a phone call with FBI director Christopher Wray, but the bureau failed to comply with a subpoena due to "law enforcement and national security obligations". McCarthy said he had already spoken to Wray and expected the FBI to give lawmakers the document. The Republican-led Oversight Committee is seeking the FD-1023 form containing the term 'Biden', but the FBI has refused to meaningfully engage with discussions.
Forbes: GOP Megadonor Harlan Crow Denies Talking About Supreme Court With Clarence Thomas
Real estate magnate Harlan Crow denied discussing court matters with Justice Clarence Thomas, despite funding luxury travel for Thomas, purchasing real estate from him, and funding his grandnephew’s tuition, according to a report by the Atlantic. Several Senate committees have called on Crow to provide a full accounting of his gifts to Thomas, and the Judiciary Committee has asked Crow to respond by 31 May, with the Senate Judiciary and Finance Committees not ruling out subpoenas. Thomas’ relationship with Crow, which includes controversial financial transactions, has led to calls from Democrats for Supreme Court justices to be bound by a code of ethics as lower court judges are.
The Epoch Times: Sen. Tom Carper of Delaware Announces Retirement, Opening Up Key Senate Seat
Sen. Tom Carper (D-Del.) will not seek reelection for a fifth term in the Senate. The announcement opens the door to a wide-open fight for the seat he has held since 2001 in Delaware, a largely Democrat-populated state. Carper has stated that the implementation of the Inflation Reduction Act and the infrastructure bill of 2021 would be his primary emphasis over his last months in office. Before being elected to the Senate in 2000, Carper spent two terms as governor of Delaware and five stints in the U.S. House. He had a reputation in the Senate as a centrist Democrat who was passionate about environmental issues.
Breitbart: Dems Re-launch Jaime Harrison-Linked PAC to Focused on Rural Areas
Jaime Harrison's Dirt Road Democrats PAC is being relaunched by Democrat strategists, with a new focus on boosting their support in rural and red-state communities. The PAC will be led by people from Harrison's unsuccessful Senate campaign and the Georgia Democratic Party. The DNC will not be involved with the day-to-day operations, but the PAC has an agreement with Harrison's old campaign to use their donor list. The aim is to increase Democratic vote share from 20% to 40% in multiple red counties to make a difference in state or district wins.

The Economist: Tree-felling is at the centre of disputes across Britain
Tree-felling disputes rage across Britain, with campaigners protesting against plans to chop down street trees for developments. Mature trees offer better carbon storage and biodiversity, yet they lack legal protection in Britain, where local councils guard against them. Arbor-activism poses a problem for some projects badly needed, such as the $158m Plymouth redevelopment and the Cambridge busway to reduce car trips to the city. More consistent rules on Tree Protection Orders, and more tree officers, could help balance public concerns with growth needs, said Baroness Barbara Young, chair of the Woodland Trust.
The New American: TikTok Ingenuity Ruins the Little Moments - The New American
The rise of staged and ingenuine videos on TikTok, inspired by famous social media influencers like Mr. Beast, is a concerning trend. While some videos featuring acts of kindness or heartfelt moments may be genuine, many are staged for clout and profit. Additionally, there is an increasing trend of fake illnesses or conditions being portrayed on social media for fame, which perpetuates the damaging idea that being a good person must come with a follower count or camera. These trends not only damage the reputations of those with genuine conditions but also teach impressionable minds that genuine kindness and happiness are only attainable through social media fame.
The Epoch Times: A Few Words About Elitism
The word "elitism" has a negative connotation, but its meaning is often contradictory. For conservatives, it refers to the bureaucratic elite managing the administrative state in Washington. However, for the left, it was once an all-purpose negative epithet to clear a room of discussion. The reality of elitism is that some people are better than others and some ideas and values are more enduring. Failure to acknowledge this truth may make you feel kinder and gentler but living a lie is costly. The most disturbing thing about Obama and Clinton's infamous remarks on ordinary Americans was the disabused arrogance that crackles behind their burnished campaign-trail mask. Their contempt isn't elitist but simply repulsive.
The Federalist: Target Partnered With Satan Supporter To Push Transgenderism
Target partners with a UK-based designer, Erik of Abprallen, who promotes transgenderism and Satanism through merchandise such as a sweatshirt with a caduceus wrapped in a “cure transphobia not trans people” ribbon. Other items include a pink fanny pack with the slogan “we belong everywhere” and a rainbow UFO tote bag with the words “too queer for here”. Erik’s Instagram features satanic and sacrilegious imagery, often with violent language calling for action against those who disagree with gender ideology.
Target, a US retailer, continues to sell products with messaging promoting radical gender ideology such as “trans people will always exist” and “live laugh lesbian”. Even the children’s section has a range of clothing that provides “binding effects” or is “tuck-friendly”. In 2021, Target employees had affirmed the store's support for both “Satan and Pride” when questioned by a man dubbed "homophobic heckler". Celebrities such as Lil Nas X and Sam Smith have also blended transgenderism with demon worship in their music and performances.

The Blaze: FBI improperly surveilled Americans 278,000 times in 2021 — targeting political donors and protesters, court filings reveal
The FBI improperly surveilled Americans over 278,000 times from November 2021, according to a recently unsealed Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court filing. The agency used warrantless surveillance powers to target individuals who protested at the Capitol on January 6, 2021, and during the George Floyd riots in 2020, as well as 19,000 people who donated to a defeated congressional candidate. The filings have spurred lawmakers to push for reform of Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act before it expires at the end of the year.

The Epoch Times: How Much Did the Fed Raise Interest Rates in 2022?
The Federal Reserve has increased interest rates for the ninth consecutive time since March 2022. Analysts are unsure whether rates will rise in May and question whether higher rates will lead to a recession, since increased rates make borrowing more expensive, lowering demand for goods and services. The Federal Reserve meets eight times a year, and in 2022, the Fed raised interest rates at seven of these meetings by 25, 50, or 75 basis points. The cause of inflation is explained by mismatches between supply and demand, including increased demand and the availability of raw materials. The incentive to increase demand drives companies to raise prices, which can make loans and borrowing more expensive. It is anticipated that the Federal Open Market Committee will continue to raise interest rates until inflation drops to 2%.

Fox News: Animal rights activists in Madrid protest against plans for a large-scale octopus farm
Animal rights activists in Madrid protest against plans for an octopus farm in the Canary Islands, which would confine 3 million octopuses in pools, despite their nature as solitary predators. Activists argue there are no laws in place to guarantee the welfare of captive octopuses. However, seafood company Nova Pescanova, promoting the farm, says they comply with EU guidelines and legislation for animal welfare. The demand for octopus consumption has been increasing globally, with farming seen as a step towards sustainable food production. Octopus is a popular staple in the Mediterranean diet, particularly in Spain and Italy, but both import most of the octopus they consume.
