Breitbart: Democrats: No Border Security Bill Until Citizens Accept More Poor Migrants
Democrats will only vote for a border security bill if Republicans allow more poor migrants into workplaces and neighborhoods. Republicans argue that the influx of illegal migrants creates economic and social damage, with citizens living in poverty and despair. Democrats claim that more humane immigration policies, including legal entry pathways, will decrease unauthorized crossings, improve the economy, and protect both citizens and migrants. Biden's administration is focused on finding more pathways for legal immigration by delivering workers to wealthy employers and investors. Although businesses around the country are desperate for workers, Americans consistently oppose the policies and the extraction migration policy that reduces trade and damages the economy.

Washington Free Beacon: Paternity Parlay: Sportsbook Takes Bets on Hunter Biden Child Support Dispute
BetUS.co launched a betting market based on Hunter Biden's child support dispute, with wagers including whether he will be held in contempt of court or if any hidden assets will be discovered during the trial. A spokesman for BetUS.com said the odds would indicate customers are betting against Biden in his upcoming paternity trial. Biden agreed to pay $20,000 per month in child support last year, but the case was reopened when he claimed he could no longer afford the payments. In addition to the child support dispute, Biden is facing a federal tax investigation and a probe into potential influence-peddling by his family.
Daily Wire: As WH Refuses Any Spending Cuts, Karine Jean-Pierre Insists Biden ‘Believes In Dealing With The Deficit In A Real Way’
White House Press Secretary claims President Biden has reduced the deficit by $1.7 trillion over the past two years through eliminating tax breaks for carried interest loopholes, retirement for wealthy, real estate investors, and cryptocurrency. However, she neglected to mention that the deficits were due to stimulus packages amid lockdown-induced recession. Biden has proposed reducing deficits by $3.0 trillion over the next decade through tax increases for billionaires, tax penalties on corporate stock buybacks, and reductions in subsidy expenditures.
House Republicans insist on broader spending reform and passed a bill to cap spending at fiscal year 2022 levels, allow for 1% annual increases, and raise the debt ceiling until the start of the next fiscal year. Negotiations with Biden over moves to raise the debt ceiling and implement future spending caps are ongoing. If no agreement is reached before June 1, the nation defaults on financial obligations, potentially causing a worldwide crisis, warns Treasury Secretary Yellen. The national debt has surpassed $31.7 trillion, weighing on economic growth, while elevated interest rates force lawmakers to devote revenues toward servicing the debt.
The Epoch Times: Ontario Liberals 'Too Far to the Left,' Says Candidate for Liberal Leadership
Bonnie Crombie wants to lead the Ontario Liberal Party and bring it back to the centre, saying the current government is too far right and the opposition too far left. She describes herself as financially centrist, or even right-of-centre, but "very socially progressive." The next Liberal leader will be chosen this fall with the next provincial election in June 2026. Crombie may step back from the race if other candidates present centrist platforms she can support. She has criticized Premier Doug Ford for introducing too much "private medicine" and has announced an exploratory committee for her leadership bid.
The Epoch Times: Why DeSantis Is Announcing on Twitter Spaces
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has announced his run for the GOP nomination using an unusual method. He will join Elon Musk on Twitter Spaces for a live discussion, testing the scalability of the platform. DeSantis chose this platform as a symbolic nod towards freedom and free speech, going against the censorship that Twitter has been known for in the past. He wants the American people to be emancipated from the lockdown junta's controls and the woke ideology that goes along with it. DeSantis is running not for political ambitions but because he cares about the country and its uprootment of corporatism.
The Epoch Times: House Ethics Committee Concludes Probe Into Rep. Eric Swalwell's Associations With Alleged Chinese Spy
The House Ethics Committee has concluded its two-year investigation into California Democrat Rep. Eric Swalwell's possible violation of House rules and conduct standards in relation to his associations with a Chinese national and suspected spy, Christine Fang. The Committee stated that no further action will be taken. Nonetheless, Rep. Swalwell was urged to be cautious as foreign agents may attempt to secure improper influence through interactions. In 2020, Swalwell was targeted by Fang Fang, who had enrolled as a student in 2011, and was reportedly conducting political intelligence and influence operations in the Bay Area. Swalwell has maintained his innocence throughout.

National Review: The Corner: Ron DeSantis, Elon Musk, and Short Memories in Media
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has launched his 2024 bid on Twitter alongside Elon Musk, a controversial decision that has stirred up a lot of attention. Some sources note that @NBCNews reports this is an unprecedented intervention into the political process by the private tech industry. However, there were ties between Silicon Valley and the Obama campaign before, perhaps not as public. The Obama team relied heavily on tech entrepreneur Chris Hughes, who helped create the My.BarackObama.com networking website that Obama supporters could use to plan events, rallies, and more. Additionally, Facebook's technology boosted Obama's reelection efforts by enabling the campaign to access Facebook friends if a person signed on to Dashboard through their account, granting permission. Meanwhile, DeSantis's motion has sparked debate, but it has yet to be known how it will impact his campaign chances in 2024.

Fox News: Beer industry ‘in shock’ that Bud Light backlash continues as expert warns of supply shortages of rival lagers
The beer industry is shocked that Bud Light is still facing backlash over its promotional deal with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney. The negative reaction has seen rival beers become more desirable. The demand for light lagers not owned by Anheuser-Busch has caused a spike in the industry, putting Molson Coors under pressure to supply enough beer for Memorial Day weekend. Despite this, it seems likely that as it’s the beginning of the beer-selling season, the backlash won’t make a long-lasting impact on Bud Light.
Beer Business Daily has reported that despite Bud Light’s sales plummeting due to the backlash, parent company InBev has increased its marketing budget and offered heavy discounts at retail in the hope that the situation blows over. Beer Business Daily also reports that while there may be short-term challenges, in the long run, the industry will continue as usual. The publication has noted a significant uptick in traffic following the infamy of Bud Light’s promotional deal, with one analyst stating: "It’s a story that just won't die." Meanwhile, Target has also faced criticism in relation to its LGBTQ merchandise campaign as boycotting threatens a "Bud Light situation".

The Epoch Times: CCP Presents 'Grave Threat' to the US Homeland: DHS Official

The Epoch Times: Landlords Face a Crisis After Years of Strong Growth
Real estate landlords are facing a major crisis due to high inflation, a sluggish economy, and rising borrowing rates. In New York, long-term tenants are becoming more like political groups and fighting back against landlords with demands like price caps on rents. In Florida, although there was a pandemic-era real estate boom, prices are starting to go down, velocity of transactions is slowing, and construction costs are rising due to the supply chain crisis. Commercial property owners are also facing losses as millions of employees continue to work from home and offices remain empty. Commercial mortgage debt held by banks will need to be refinanced in tougher conditions, but many regional banks are under pressure and reluctant to release liquidity into the market.
Forbes: New Technologies Can Stop Fossil Fuel’s Financial Rollercoaster. But We Must Ensure Everyone Can Access Them
Fossil fuels have caused up to 40% of recent inflation and are the root of the problem. To protect against this volatility, infrastructure investment, workforce development, and state policies are needed to ensure everyone can access clean energy technologies, particularly low-income communities who suffer the most from price spikes. The emergence of EV sales and electric heat pump sales in the US have made enormous strides forward in protecting the economy from fossil fuel volatility.

The Epoch Times: Woke 'Trans-Former' Cartoon Robot Character Appearing on TV for Ages 7 and Up
The nonbinary robot Nightshade on the children's cartoon "Transformers: Earth Spark" has sparked controversy on social media as it tells a teenage girl its preferred pronouns are "they/them." Some conservatives have accused Paramount, which streams the show, of "shoving corrosives lies down the throats of kids," while LGBT media outlets have reacted with outrage to criticism of the show. Others, however, see the introduction of non-binary, transgender and gay characters in cartoons as a positive step in representation that can help kids understand different identities and emotions.
Some young adults are warning parents not to be persuaded by the transgender movement over ill effects they experienced from gender treatment as minors. Transgender characters, such as non-binary robot Nightshade on "Transformers: Earth Spark," have sparked controversy on social media, and some conservatives have accused Paramount of grooming children into becoming gay or transgender. Others see it as a positive step in representation that can help children understand different identities and emotions. More shows are introducing LGBTQ+ characters, but some parents are concerned about the content and have criticized companies for not being upfront about the inclusion.

Fox News: First new 'quit-smoking' drug in 20 years shows promising results in US trial: ‘Hope and excitement’
Pharmaceutical company Achieve Life Sciences has announced positive results from its Phase 3 trial of cytisinicline, a drug that could help people quit smoking. Currently, there are only two non-nicotine therapies for would-be quitters approved by the US Food and Drug Administration. These have been linked to serious side effects. By comparison, cytisinicline could be between six and eight times more effective than a placebo at helping smokers quit. The drug has also been shown to have low rates of side effects. Cytisinicline has already been used successfully in other countries. The company intends to file for FDA approval in the first half of 2024.

American Thinker: Biden’s former nuke waste chief, non-binary Sam Brinton, finally to see the inside of a slammer
Sam Brinton, a former "non-binary" senior federal official charged with luggage theft at airports, will be placed in a men's jail in Maryland while awaiting transfer to Virginia to face grand larceny charges over alleged theft of a case belonging to a Tanzanian fashion designer. The Montgomery County Department of Correction and Rehabilitation policy processes inmates according to their biological sex. Rape in American correctional facilities is a national scandal. Brinton's former position of handling nuclear waste speaks volumes about the irresponsibility of Biden's appointment.
The theft of Asya Khamsin's unique designs has led to Brinton's arrest and potential prison time, considering the stolen items' value. Theft charges in the grand larceny case could carry a sentence of up to 20 years under VA Law 18.2-95. Brinton's case highlights the issue of placing violent biological males in women's detention facilities and the danger of rape in American correctional facilities. Given Brinton's high profile, there is hope that he avoids such fate.
Fox News: Video shows wranglers 'comparable to the cast of Yellowstone' chasing escaped cow along Michigan's I-75
Wranglers, likened to those in "Yellowstone", attempted to apprehend a cow running along Interstate-75, but the animal managed to cross north and southbound lanes of travel, evading the group's capture. Eventually, with the assistance of Michigan State Police, the cow was successfully removed from the freeway.
A group of boys in a Chicago suburb lost control of a cow in April when a prank at school went awry, while in March a cow in New York City attempted an escape from a slaughterhouse. At North Ridge Preparatory School in Chicago, the animal was chased by the pranksters, while in New York, people unsuccessfully attempted to catch the cow. Although the cow evaded capture in both instances, it was captured when it attempted an escape along Interstate-75 in Michigan.
The Epoch Times: Death Sentence Reduced to Life in Prison for Man Who Killed North Dakota Student
Alfonso Rodriguez Jr.'s death sentence for the murder of Dru Sjodin has been changed to life in prison. Rodriguez kidnapped and sexually assaulted Sjodin in 2003 and was found guilty of the crime in 2007. US Attorney Mac Schneider withdrew the effort to seek the death penalty in March 2021, leaving life in prison without parole as the only possible sentence. Rodriguez's death sentence was overturned in September 2021 after the violation of his constitutional rights during the trial. The decision was made by the US Attorney General Merrick Garland, who announced a moratorium on federal executions in 2021.

Fox News: Cyclocross star Hannah Arensman slams trans participation in women's sports, talks retiring at career peak
Cyclist Hannah Arensman claims transgender women have an advantage over biological women and has retired after losing to two of them. She had filed her retirement in support of a West Virginia law that would have kept transgender female athletes from competing against biological women in sports. She believes that transgender women will produce more testosterone which can enable them to pump blood through the body quicker, gain strength, build bigger muscles, bigger skeletal structures and have a bigger heart and lungs. Her experience has also revealed that biological females may lose their jobs, sponsorship and access to training facilities for raising their voice on the issue.
