Red State: BACKLASH: Georgia Democrat Lawmaker Blasts Party for Prioritizing Illegal Aliens Over Black Americans
Georgia Democrat State Rep. Mesha Mainor has criticized her party’s prioritization of illegal aliens over Black Americans, stating that Black communities receive no support from the Biden administration. She posted a video to Twitter in which she refused to apologize for voting for parents and children in failing schools ahead of her party's preferences to support teachers’ unions and donors. She also said that her colleagues were trying to oust her and that she was the “clear and present danger” to the Democrat Party.

Breitbart: CNN's Christiane Amanpour Apologizes On Air for Saying Israeli Terror Victims Killed in 'Shootout'
Christiane Amanpour apologized for saying that an Israeli mother and two daughters who were murdered in a terror attack by Palestinian terrorists had been killed in a “shootout,” implying Israelis were shooting. HonestReporting.com began a campaign to have Amanpour apologize for the remark. Rabbi Leo Dee joined the demand: it’s time for Christiane Amanpour to apologize immediately. Israel plans to submit an official complaint to CNN for Amanpour’s statement through diplomatic channels.
Red State: Watch: Joe Biden Accidentally Insults Nancy Pelosi, Brings Major 2024 Issue to Forefront in One Fell Swoop
Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden are making voters more aware of their age. Clinton recommends voters consider President Biden's age (80) in 2024, and while introducing former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Biden stated she helped rescue America during the Great Depression; Pelosi was born one year after the Depression ended. Despite the Biden campaign's attempts to downplay questions about his age and mental fitness, polls suggest voters have concerns. A majority of Americans are wary of President Biden's ability to preside, making the non-stop spinning and pushing the narrative likely to backfire.
Daily Wire: McCarthy Tells House Republicans He Is ‘Nowhere Near’ Debt Ceiling Deal With Biden: Reports
Republican leaders are "nowhere near" a deal with the White House on the debt ceiling, with less than two weeks left before the country is expected to default on obligations. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen affirmed in a letter that her agency expects to default as early as the first day of June unless the debt limit is soon amended. Republicans desire to link a temporary increase in the debt ceiling with spending caps, while Democrats say they prefer separate processes. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) recently passed the framework in the House by means of the Limit, Save, Grow Act.
Members of the House Freedom Caucus, a bloc of conservative Republicans, said they would vote to raise the debt limit in exchange for a budget framework that returns expenditures to fiscal year 2022 levels, raises the debt ceiling only for the next year, and restricts annual spending growth to 1% over the next decade. Beyond the risk of a financial crisis induced by failing to increase the debt ceiling, the national debt now surpasses $31.7 trillion and functions as a source of persistent financial risk. Elevated interest rates on the national debt have recently weighed on the budget as lawmakers are forced to devote more revenues toward servicing the obligations rather than funding programs.
Spectator USA: The Seattle mayor’s CHOP cover-up
Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan oversaw the establishment of the "CHOP" or "Capitol Hill Organized Protest," a four-block zone in Seattle's business district that became an enclave for a socially distant experiment, complete with armed guards, concrete blocks, and even two deaths and seven additional shootings. After the affair, the city paid out $2.3 million in a legal settlement over the illegal deletion of text messages and emails related to the CHOP zone. There are also concerns over how the local government continues to spend public funds, including on climate change initiatives, funding for restorative justice efforts, and helping keep evicted public housing tenants in their homes.
The Epoch Times: Growing List of Whistleblowers Reporting Reprisal Under Biden Administration
Whistleblowers under the Biden administration have alleged misconduct within the FBI, IRS, and White House, with some reporting retaliation for speaking out. An IRS whistleblower has claimed the agency mishandled its investigation into Hunter Biden, the son of President Joe Biden, but was later removed from the investigation in an allegedly "retaliatory" move. FBI whistleblowers have reported harsh treatment and retaliation after disclosing misconduct, including improper case classifications and retaliation against protected whistleblowers. An unnamed whistleblower has alleged that Biden was involved in a pay-to-play bribery scheme as vice president, but the FBI has not complied with a subpoena for the document, citing security risks for the informant who authored the report.
The Epoch Times: Corporate Espionage, Chinese Style
Former Apple engineer Weibao Wang has been charged with stealing Apple technology and providing it to a Chinese smart car company. The Department of Justice has filed six counts against Wang, who fled to China after federal authorities searched his home nearly five years ago. Wang is the third ex-employee of Apple to be charged with stealing trade secrets, which is part of the work of the new Disruptive Technology Strike Force of the Justice and Commerce Departments targeting foreign theft of advanced technologies. The Biden administration has stated that China’s spying can casually be categorized with Moscow’s and Tehran’s, despite the CCP’s broad strategy designed to emasculate the United States and the rest of the free world.
Beijing is spending over $6 billion to expand its media friendly to the CCP around the world, while enticing foreign dignitaries and journalists to spread the news that mainland China is benevolent. This is part of Beijing’s strategy to soften up the cultural foundations of the West, alongside cultivating an “international army of friendly propagandists” for China. It is important to examine Beijing’s overseas development finance, which in its funding of roads, railways and power plants in the third world, is worth close examination. China's development projects pose greater risks than those of the World Bank, particularly within the energy sector.
Newsbusters: To Diversify Their Audience, NPR Hosts Race Hustling Monday
NPR aims to diversify its audience and offer a platform for black leftists, exemplified by the interview with Keith Ellison promoting his book on ending police violence. Morning Edition host Leila Fadel asked only left-leaning questions about the George Floyd Justice and Policing Act, with no mention of the increase in crime since the defunding of police. All Things Considered co-host Mary Louise Kelly also supportedively interviewed a NAACP member attacking Governor Ron DeSantis with no tough questions, highlighting NPR's liberal bias.

The New American: First Amendment Triumphs in Settlement With School Board - The New American
Arizona Christian University has celebrated winning a lawsuit against the Washington Elementary School District (WESD) in regards to discrimination against religion . The conflict arose after WESD officials discovered that the university had what they deemed to be Christian values that could potentially harm other students in the district . For 11 years there was no complaint or issue and students were invited to shadow teachers in the district’s schools, however, all that changed in February. The settlement, announced on May 4, the National Day of Prayer, provides a complete vindication of the rights of ACU’s students without any compromise to their beliefs .
The Blaze: Ice Cube blasts Democrats: 'Nothing has changed' for black people who have supported Democrats for '60 years'
Ice Cube, the rapper, actor, and entrepreneur, stated on a recent podcast that "nothing has changed" for black people who have overwhelmingly supported Democrats for more than 50 years, and insisted that change is needed. Ice Cube clarified that he never supported Trump or Biden and created "The Contract with Black America," a document that outlines issues that led to unrest after George Floyd's killing, which was well received by both Democrats and Republicans. The 55-year-old's document regarding black Americans includes a reparations plan, federal baby bonds, and "a one-time interest free loan for home ownership" to qualified black Americans from the Federal Reserve.
The Epoch Times: The Bud Light Fiasco Rocks the World of Marketing
Bud Light's attempt at marketing backfired spectacularly when they sent a celebratory can of beer to a controversial Instagram account, only to have followers turn on the brand. This led to a massive boycott, a fall in stock prices, and a 30% decrease in sales. The beer company's mistake was misunderstanding the movement against the elites imposing woke ideology on society, favoring instead a return to traditional values and rejecting transgender ideology. The boycott represents a pushback against this ideology, demonstrating the power of democracy and the people's ability to assert their influence.
Breitbart: Dozens of Homeless Families Face Removal from London Hotel During Beyoncé Tour
Up to 30 homeless families residing at a London hotel will be evicted soon due to rooms being booked by fans during Beyoncé’s stay in London for her world tour. The local council, which currently occupies two-thirds of the hotel, had to book hotel rooms to deal with housing insufficiency due to an increase in illegal immigrants in the city. Families will be relocated to temporary emergency accommodations.
The eviction of the homeless families comes shortly after Beyoncé purchased a Malibu mega-mansion for $177m. Some families claim that the eviction process is extremely disruptive and has resulted in their children missing school. Enfield council reportedly had reservations about the potential effects of Beyoncé’s tour on families housed at the Travelodge, whilst Beyoncé and her husband Jay Z have a history of supporting left-wing politicians and the Black Lives Matter movement.
National Review: Chicago Police Stations Converted into ‘Makeshift Shelters’ to House Wave of Illegal Immigrants
Chicago police stations have been turned into makeshift shelters to house illegal migrants arriving from the Southern border. Footage shows migrants sleeping in police stations, with bed bugs, illnesses, food and healthcare shortages. Police stations are solely relying on local residents' donations or volunteers to deal with the influx of migrants; a police source confirmed they are receiving no assistance from the city or government. Trash and belongings of migrants are piling up inside and outside police stations across the city. Mayor Brandon Johnson blamed the influx on politicians out to score political points. Texas has bused hundreds of migrants to Chicago in recent months.

The Epoch Times: South African Weapons to Russia ‘Possible but Doubtful,’ Say Arms Control Experts
Experts say it is "highly unlikely" that South Africa secretly exported weapons or ammunition to Russia, despite claims made by the US ambassador to South Africa that a vessel delivered arms to Russia from South Africa. President Cyril Ramaphosa has denied the allegations, and pledged to investigate them. While South Africa and Russia are allies in the BRICS economic bloc, the country has recently allowed several sanctioned Russian vessels and aircraft to dock at its ports. Although it has historic ties with Moscow from the apartheid era, many experts doubt the capability of the country's reduced arms manufacturing sector to provide significant arms to Russia, which remains the second largest exporter of arms in the world.
The Blaze: Chinese-linked energy firm loses $200 million federal grant just two months after energy secretary praised China's renewable energy investments
The DOE canceled a $200 million grant for Microvast, a Texas-based energy firm with ties to the Chinese government. Microvast develops lithium-ion battery technology and has been accused by Republicans of having "deep ties" to China. Although the company was incorporated in the US, it simultaneously incorporated a subsidiary firm in China, with just 3% of its revenue generated in the US and 69% in China. The DOE did not specify why negotiations were canceled, but said it maintains a rigorous review process prior to awarding funds.

The Epoch Times: Retail Is the Lifeblood of America's Cities, and It's in Crisis
Retail is doing well broadly, but there are challenges to traditional retail that present a challenge to the resiliency of urban centers and even suburban commercial districts. The great urban theorist Jane Jacobs wrote: “To understand cities, we have to deal outright with combinations or mixtures of uses, not separate uses, as the essential phenomena … A mixture of uses, if it is to be sufficiently complex to sustain city safety, public contact, and cross-use, needs an enormous diversity of ingredients. The wider challenge for cities—and their fiscal coffers—is how they are to, in Jacobs’ words, “sustain their own civilization.” ( )
WFH continues to be popular, and the four-day—or even three-day—”in-office” work week for hybrid workers continues with no end in sight. Were this to continue, it will create a cascading series of failures that could become an urban doom loop. Failure to do so will cause the building to fail its “emissions score,” thereby triggering costly fines. The overall decline in healthy local retail and WFH threatens other cities, too. It could ultimately cost several percentage points in GDP and leave some of the nation’s largest banks and lenders bankrupt. ( )
Forbes: Smart Sourcing: AI Can Amplify CPO-Led Human Intelligence
Smart sourcing, driven by AI technology, has revolutionized planning, logistics, and manufacturing, but sourcing professionals are lagging behind. Zero100 is helping procurement teams maximize supplier value over the business's entire lifecycle with its Smart Sourcing system. Unfortunately, some see procurement as solely buying cheap products, leading to overlooked sourcing expertise. However, AI is helping sourcing teams manage the vast amounts of relevant data associated with individual parts and material specs while improving risk management indicators and streamlining workflows. This approach could deliver breakthrough performance in accountability and collaboration, ultimately creating lifecycle business value from concept to end-of-life.

PJ Media: Just in Time for 2024: WHO Chief Warns of Looming Disease ‘Deadlier' Than COVID
Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, head of the World Health Organization, warns of a possible emergence of a new, more deadly pathogen than COVID-19. However, many are suspicious of his credibility, as he was notably complicit in covering up China's role in the COVID pandemic.
As the 2024 presidential election approaches, concerns arise that COVID policies were used as a pretext for leftists to make it easier to vote in the 2020 election. The pandemic was also a convenient tool for the media and the left to attack Donald Trump. With COVID policies expiring and no major threat, some are worried that another pandemic may be on the horizon, conditioning people to accept it just in time for the next election.

California's left-wing, Soros-funded prosecutor in Alameda County has allowed a violent felon on a crime spree to avoid prison time through a diversion program, despite domestic violence charges and committing arson and assault with a hatchet. Several prosecutors have resigned in protest against the DA's agenda, which neglects victims’ rights and undermines the rule of law. Meanwhile, critics are questioning the point of new gun laws when the same people behind them back DAs that refuse to enforce current laws.

Foreign Policy: Solar Geoengineering Is Coming. It’s Time to Regulate It.
Interest in solar radiation modification (SRM) is increasing as the world is more likely to exceed the 1.5-degrees-Celsius goal, and the impacts of a warming world are being felt. SRM would aim to reflect more sunlight back into space to directly reduce the Earth's temperature, but there are concerns about its potential risks and benefits, how it should be governed, and whether it undermines efforts to reduce emissions and remove atmospheric carbon. The lack of comprehensive international governance for SRM poses a risk of unilateral actions and forcing governments to react hastily in a crisis. The hard truth is that there are no risk-free options.
