American Thinker: Bilderberg Group meeting underway in Lisbon includes heads of ChatGPT creator OpenAI, Pfizer, Microsoft, Goldman Sachs and… Stacy Abrams
The secretive Bilderberg Group is holding its annual conference in Lisbon with 120-140 political and business leaders from Europe and North America in attendance. The private meetings foster dialogue but are also seen as possible settings for joint mischief. Despite no notes being taken during the formal sessions, participants can speak about what was discussed as long as they don't attribute views to anyone, known as the Chatham House rules. Notable attendees include NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, Avril Haines, US Director of National Intelligence, and CEOs such as Satya Nadella of Microsoft, and Albert Bourla of Pfizer.
The Bilderberg Group conference is known for its secrecy and lack of transparency, which has led to some viewing it as a site of conspiracies. Others see it as a place for making human connections and paving the way for future interactions and partnerships. Even if there are legitimate goals that attendees jointly seek, the meeting can be used to coordinate covert efforts in the future. The real "tell" of the group may lie in its attendees, who are mostly the heads of powerful organizations seeking to coordinate their efforts confidentially.
The Federalist: Durham Is Right: Conservatives Can’t Get A Fair Trial In D.C.
Special Counsel John Durham stressed the difficulty of obtaining convictions when juries hold opposing partisan views. However, critics claim that this erodes faith in the justice system. Durham's remarks were echoed in the Department of Justice's manual. The government's high burden in criminal cases means sometimes cases are dismissed even if the conduct deserves action. The manual highlights that politically charged and high-profile cases may not bring a fair and impartial jury, affecting the likelihood of a conviction. Durham has courted controversy for prosecuting J6 defendants in D.C. federal courts, where the local populace views them as political pariahs, making for easy convictions.
American Thinker: K.T. McFarland: FBI, DOJ, and CIA rigged the last 2 elections… and they will rig 2024
Former Deputy National Security Advisor K.T. McFarland warns of a deep state coup being planned to prevent a Republican president and AG from prosecuting their crimes. McFarland believes that the FBI, CIA, and Justice Department will rig the 2024 presidential election, just as they did in 2016 and 2020. Her claims are based on hard evidence of election interference by U.S. intelligence and justice agencies, and she believes that they are willing to tear up the Constitution and sell out the American people.
The Epoch Times: Trump's Truth Social Sues Washington Post for Over $3 Billion
Donald Trump’s media company, TMTG, has sued The Washington Post for defamation, seeking $3.78 billion in damages. The lawsuit claims that a May 13 article by the newspaper, labelled a “hit piece”, has posed an “existential threat” to Trump’s company by making “materially false” statements that accuse TMTG of fraud and other wrongdoing. The allegations relate to the ownership of a stake in Truth Social, TMTG’s social media company. The article suggested that the obscure ES Family Trust was in line to obtain a substantial interest in TMTG, and that TMTG had not officially disclosed this to the SEC or shareholders.
American Thinker: The GOP can never win the ballot harvesting game, so restore mail-in voting to a rare practice only when necessary by illness or absence
Mail-in voting was widely used during the Covid panic to avoid spreading the virus. The Democrats execute a highly complex and sophisticated ballot harvesting game, making Republican matching efforts fruitless - Democrats have a powerful election-industrial complex, aided by public-sector unions and urban-based activist organizations, with guided statistical models.
Fox News: Pelosi silent on Trump 'cold hard evidence' collusion claim after Durham report shows FBI, DOJ wrongdoing
Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has not commented on the John Durham report that showed the missteps of the Department of Justice and the FBI in the Trump-Russia investigation. Pelosi's office also declined to comment on whether she would walk back her past insinuations about Trump colluding with Russia. The Durham report said that senior FBI personnel lacked analytical rigor towards politically-affiliated information and relied heavily on investigative leads provided by Trump's political opponents during the Crossfire Hurricane investigation. Trump has called for James Comey and other Democrats for pushing collusion to pay a "heavy price".

National Review: Push to Block Porn Access for Minors Gains Steam with Virginia Set to Follow Louisiana, Utah
Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin has signed legislation requiring users to provide age verification before accessing adult websites, following similar laws in Utah and Louisiana. The law, which goes into effect on July 1, requires verification for sites where at least one third of the content is considered harmful to minors. Users must provide government-issued IDs, biometric scans or age-verification software. Utah's law came into effect earlier this year, prompting Pornhub to block all users in that state. The Free Speech Coalition, representing adult-entertainment companies, has filed a legal challenge against Utah’s law.

Forbes: Colombia Could Lead Latin America Through The Energy Transition
Colombia is exploring opportunities to diversify its national energy strategy as the world moves towards decarbonisation. As the country focuses on its own net zero target, there are calls to reposition it for a lower carbon future. The government could maximise its positive exposure to this trend by diversifying into metals exports, giving the green light to low-carbon hydrogen, expanding its position in the global carbon offset market, and capturing the CCUS opportunity.
The Epoch Times: Stock Market Today: Global Shares Mostly Rise Despite Worries About US Debt Talks
Global shares drifted higher with some markets gaining slightly and others slipping slightly in early trading on Monday as investors remain concerned about whether the US government will be able to reach a deal to avoid a federal default. Investors are closely watching a pivotal meeting set for later in the day at the White House between President Joe Biden and House Speaker Kevin McCarthy on the debt ceiling. A default on the U.S. debt would almost surely cause a recession in the American economy, which would have damaging effects on global economies. On the positive side, U.S. Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell made comments Friday indicating the Fed may leave interest rates alone at its next meeting in June.
Data for machinery orders in Japan for March, released Monday, highlighted a slowdown in the world’s third-largest economy, with the key indicator falling 3.9 percent for the second straight month of declines. The White House and House Republicans wrapped up another round of talks over the weekend. Washington needs to strike a budget compromise along with a deal to raise the nation’s borrowing limit to avoid a federal default. Democrats and Republicans face a June 1 deadline, which is when the U.S. government could run out of cash to pay its bills unless Congress allows it to borrow more. The majority of companies in the S&P 500 have been reporting stronger earnings for the start of the year than analysts expected. But they’re still on track to report a second consecutive quarter of profit declines from year-ago levels.
Liberty Nation: US Treasury Running Out of Cash – Swamponomics
The US Treasury's funds are running low and risk facing NSF charges unless lawmakers reach a last-minute agreement to raise the debt ceiling. Secretary Janet Yellen warns the X-date when obligations cannot be met could be June 1. Argentina is suffering from catastrophic inflation, with rates at a 30-year high of 100% in April, the third-highest in the world behind Venezuela and Zimbabwe. Government plans to raise the benchmark interest rate to 97% are doubted to achieve much for the country. Meanwhile, crude oil production and drilling in key shale energy regions appears to be leveling off.
The US crude oil production has stagnated since November 2022, and the Baker Hughes Total Rig Count has been on a downward trajectory for the past seven months. Reports from industry observers are that drilling in key shale energy regions is leveling off. Although the White House has repeatedly pledged to replenish inventories, there have been seven consecutive weekly drawdowns in the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, shrinking below 360 million barrels. Investors are dismissing solid oil fundamentals and concentrating on short-term factors, including banking turmoil and a resuscitation of the US dollar, and growing recession fears. The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and its allies, OPEC+, may remove more barrels of oil from the international marketplace, adding to inflationary pressures.
The Epoch Times: Oil Steady as US Default Risk Offsets Demand Outlook
Oil prices remain steady amid concerns over U.S. debt ceiling talks despite lower supplies from Canada and OPEC+ producers, leading to cautious optimism over demand. Brent crude futures rose 0.2% to $75.71 a barrel, while US West Texas Intermediate crude for July rose 0.20% to $71.81 a barrel. The Group of Seven (G7) nations have pledged to enhance efforts to counter Russia's evasion of fuel and oil export price caps without causing supply chain issues. There are warnings of a potential shortage in the second half of this year, with demand tipped to exceed supply by nearly 2 million barrels per day (bpd).

The Epoch Times: Strategies to Restore a Damaged Microbiome
Elimination diets and food sensitivity testing are key strategies for healing gut issues naturally. Since the microbiome is as individual as a fingerprint, what might be healing for one person could be problematic for another. Maintaining a healthy gut microbiome requires self-awareness, compassion for the body, and some detective work to determine what practices and foods best support a healthy microbial community. Elimination diets operate by removing unhealthy and inflammation-provoking foods while reintroducing those that were previously reactive in a systematic manner. Food sensitivity testing can make elimination diets more practical and personalized to support gut health.

National Review: Make Insulin Affordable Again
Insulin prices are falling due to competition brought on by the Trump administration's deregulatory efforts, with over 90% of prescriptions in the US today being generics. During former FDA commissioner Scott Gottlieb's tenure, inflation-adjusted prescription drug prices dropped 1.5%, followed by a further 5.1% decrease in the subsequent two years. The FDA's new pro-competitive actions resulted in a 37% increase in generic approvals and a 400% increase in biosimilar approvals during Gottlieb's tenure, with competition driving down prices. Despite these free-market successes, Democrats are calling for more federal control to bring down insulin prices, though evidence suggests that regulation is the wrong approach.
