The Epoch Times: 'Hold the Line': Rep. Roy to McCarthy On GOP Debt Ceiling Demands
Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas) is urging House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) to hold the line on Republicans' demands for the debt ceiling negotiations. He said Republicans are fighting against Democrats who want to keep the status quo of record inflation and record spending. Roy mentions several reforms he calls crucial, including reducing discretionary spending, repealing "grid-destroying" tax credits, rescinding Biden's student loan bailout, and instituting work requirements for Medicaid and other government assistance. He argues that abandoning these demands is "a slap in the face to Americans that work hard to make ends meet."
Fox News: Ron DeSantis officially files paperwork for 2024 run

Flag And Cross: 'You Should Never Vote for Me': Whoopi Reveals the Reason She Could Never Run for Office
ABC's "The View" is having communication issues during the Writers Guild of America strike and co-host Whoopi Goldberg has made some gaffes recently. During a discussion of a Pennsylvania senator's inappropriate workout clothing, Goldberg supported his outfit and made a comparison to her own fashion sense. Goldberg has also provided the spectacle of simulating a lap dance on co-host Sunny Hostin. While Alyssa Farah Griffin tried to speak out for professionalism, blaming the Republicans for being outraged at the senator's attire rather than school shootings and co-host Joy Behar smeared Republicans with a straw man attack. Goldberg even suggested that the senator's tackiness was a symbol of liberty.
Fox News: Driver of U-Haul truck that crashed near White House appears in federal court, ordered to remain in custody
A 19-year-old man charged with depredation of government property has been ordered to detention for crashing into security barriers near the White House. Sai Kandula, not a US citizen, drove a rental U-Haul to the barriers in Lafayette Square before removing a flag with a Nazi swastika and being taken into custody. Kandula stated his goal was to 'get to the White House, seize power and be put in charge of the nation,' threatening to kill the President if that was needed. Prosecutors did not specify Kandula's origin.
Fox News: Veterans, NY Republicans support Daniel Penny, demand Manhattan DA drop 'senseless' case in Jordan Neely death
A group of New York Republican officials and veterans have shown support for Daniel Penny, who is facing manslaughter charges for the chokehold death of Jordan Neely, a homeless man with over 40 prior arrests. The prosecutors claim Neely was making threats towards other passengers during an encounter with Penny in the subway. Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman criticized Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg for pursuing charges against Penny, stating the perpetrator was a "good Samaritan...a man of courage who cared about his community." Fellow New York City Council member Vickie Paladino added that "Mr. Penny served our country. His instincts were to protect and defend."
Fox News: Alabama advances bill criminalizing those who help a non-family member fulfill absentee ballots
The Alabama Senate Governmental Affairs committee advanced a bill that criminalizes helping non-family members with absentee ballots. The Republican bill sponsor argues that the change is needed to combat voter fraud, but opponents say it is an attempt to restrict voting access. If the bill passed, it would become a misdemeanor in most cases for a person to order, request, collect, prefill or return an absentee ballot other than their own, and a felony to pay someone or receive payment for absentee ballot assistance. The bill allows an exemption for family members to help other family members up to the "second degree of kinship" including parents, grandparents, siblings, aunts, and uncles, provided they are not paid to do so.
Newsbusters: Morning Joe Rips DeSantis Going 'All In' on Elon Musk the Narcissist, Despite His 'Brain Worms'
Never Trumper Charlie Sykes criticized Ron DeSantis for his strategy of launching his bid for President of the United States with Elon Musk. Sykes described Musk as an "erratic narcissistic megalomaniac" who is "publicly decompensating." He also mocked DeSantis for going "all in on Elon" and described Musk as displaying "brain worms." However, Sykes did see one upside to DeSantis making his announcement with Musk, claiming that it will "throw a certain amount of chaos into MAGA world." This news falls under the category.

Rep. Jim Banks, R-Ind., will introduce legislation to make classical architecture the model for new government buildings, which was axed by President Biden.

The bill denounces modern "brutalist" styles of buildings and instead suggests modeling after the "Greek and Roman antiquity" such as the U.S. Capitol and the Supreme Court.
The Blaze: BLM now $8.5 million in the red as donations tank, leaders continue to spend lavishly
Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation is facing a massive deficit due to dwindling donations, but board members continue to invest in pricey consulting firms and properties. The group finished 2020 with more than $90 million in cash, but in 2022, it raised just $9.3 million, an 88% drop from the previous year. The group paid approximately $3.4 million in 2022 to different "consulting" firms affiliated with Patrisse Cullors' friends and family, and in addition to its consulting and security expenditures, BLM has also amassed several large properties in the U.S. and Canada that have drained millions from its treasury.

The chief of Britain’s defense staff, Admiral Sir Tony Radakin, said the conflict in Ukraine has emphasized the need for the UK to equip itself with more drones, and he hopes to have up to 10,000 by 2030.

He listed all the places where the British armed forces were deployed or had training bases.
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said Ukraine stands “every chance of success” against the Russian army if it chose to launch an offensive. Speaking at the London Defence Conference, Sunak said Ukraine’s President, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, standing shoulder to shoulder with the G-7 leaders “sent a strong message” to the Kremlin. Shadow defense secretary John Healey said Labour would carry out a defense spending review within 12 months of coming into office and emphasized a long-term commitment to Kyiv to signal to Putin that things will not get better in the long run.

Fox News: America's nuclear secrets vulnerable to 'insider' attacks with 'devastating consequences,' watchdog says
The US Department of Energy is failing to implement security recommendations, leaving the American nuclear secrets vulnerable to insider attacks. The Government Accountability Office has warned that threats could emanate from external adversaries or insiders including employees or visitors with trusted access. The DOE has not implemented seven required measures for its Insider Threat Program, even after independent reviewers made nearly 50 recommendations to help fully implement it. Reports reveal 250 insider threat incidents reported in 2017 alone, with most of the incidents unintentional. However, around a hundred incidents were threatening to national security and included "sending classified information over unclassified systems, leaving security areas unattended, and not properly protecting classified information." The report warned that failure to implement security measures would have devastating consequences to national security.

Bulgarian authorities discovered 18 bodies of Afghan migrants who died from suffocation while being smuggled into the country.

Fox News: US aircraft carrier arrives in Norway to take part in drills with armed forces
The USS Gerald R. Ford, the largest aircraft carrier in the world, arrived in Oslo with the Norwegian armed forces, providing them with an opportunity to enhance cooperation. The Russian embassy in Oslo criticised the carrier’s arrival, calling such displays of power “illogical and harmful”. Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre said Norway’s allied exercise with the US is in line with their policy of recent years. The carrier is expected to take part in drills with the Norwegian forces in the Arctic, and Norway has pledged to become one of Ukraine’s top donors.
Foreign Policy: Does Britain's Labour Have a Plan for Power?
Britain's Conservative government is struggling in the polls with a bleak economic outlook. Labour Party leader Keir Starmer has a chance of becoming the next prime minister, and wishes to present his foreign policy as a "return to normal" in contrast to his predecessor, Jeremy Corbyn, and former Tory prime minister Boris Johnson. However, there is not yet a coherent worldview in evidence, despite some recent strides forward, and Labour risks entering government unprepared.

Red State: New Study Shows Democrats Will Have to Look Someplace Besides Military Vets for 'Domestic Extremists'
A new study by the RAND Corporation found no evidence that veterans are more likely to support or be members of extremist groups than the general population. The study, which surveyed 1,000 veterans from all demographics, was conducted in response to claims that the military is an abnormal breeding ground for violent extremists. Democrat lawmakers pressured Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin to root out suspected white supremacists and extremists throughout all branches of the military following the events of Jan. 6. However, the study revealed that Democrats may be targeting military veterans as supporters of extremist groups based on false assumptions.

Fox News: Forget pride, focus on humility, says Kirk Cameron as his new book comes out
Actor-writer Kirk Cameron has penned a new book called "Pride Comes Before the Fall" aimed at children to teach them the importance of being humble, at a time when the US is "saturated with the idea that pride is a good thing". The book's subtitle is "The Essential Sin of Our Time", and warns that pride is "the deadliest of the seven deadly sins". It is the first in a series of children’s books on the seven deadly sins, with the next one expected to be released just in time for Christmas. Cameron has been touring across America in a promotional campaign for Brave Books, his publisher.

Fox News: Kenneth Anger, influential avant-garde filmmaker and author, dies at 96
Kenneth Anger, an influential avant-garde filmmaker and author, known for his controversial short films like "Scorpio Rising" and "Fireworks", and infamous book "Hollywood Babylon" has died at the age of 96 due to natural causes. He was one of the first openly gay filmmakers, known for his use of soundtracks, and was respected by filmmakers and rock stars alike.
"Hollywood Babylon," Anger's greatest commercial success, contains lurid WWII-era Hollywood gossip. Originally published in French in the late 1950s, it was banned for years in the U.S. due to its content. When it was formally released in 1975, it was still considered adult fare, earning panicky reviews and being described as a "306-page box of poisoned bon bons."

Kuti was caught allegedly assaulting the officer in Nigeria's economic hub, Lagos, and had been held for more than a week. Kuti's departure had been put on hold because of the trial, but his manager has confirmed that the tour will go ahead as planned. At the court hearing, the presiding judge adjourned the case until a further hearing on July 3 and ruled it was the public prosecutor, not the police, that had the power to prosecute the musician.

Plump's youth sports nonprofit received $400,000 in state grants before he was elected, and Plump paid $200,000 of those funds as kickbacks to a legislator's assistant. Plump submitted false reports and tried to obstruct the investigation, according to the plea agreement. He will pay at least $200,000 in restitution and immediately resign from his position in the state House upon entering a guilty plea.
The Blaze: Eunuch who stabbed athletics officials over questions of his eligibility to compete as a woman still holds women's Parkrun record. Female athletes aren't pleased.
The Aberystwyth Parkrun women's record is held by a eunuch who viciously attacked three UK Athletics staff over his eligibility as a female athlete. Michael Jameson, now called Lauren Jeska, still holds the top two women's records despite concerns that he had an unfair advantage over real women. In 2016 Jeska stabbed Ralph Knibbs, grievously injuring two other UK Athletics employees who had tried to intervene, after questions were raised about his eligibility. Jeska is eligible for parole in 2029.

Fox News: ATP Tour fines French tennis player more than 2023 total earnings after unsportsmanlike conduct violation
French tennis pro Hugo Gaston was fined over $155,000, exceeding his prize earnings for 2023, for his fourth unsportsmanlike conduct violation, which he drew during last month’s Madrid Open. Video of the incident shows Gaston pulling a tennis ball out of his pocket and throwing it on the court while pointing at it to get the chair umpire’s attention. The fine is well over Gaston’s $121,000 earnings this season.
Fox News: Packers' All-Pro returner dismisses NFL's new kickoff rule
NFL owners have approved a new rule that will encourage kick returners to call for a fair catch, providing the receiving team the option to begin their offense at their own 25-yard line. The rule will be effective from the 2023 season and aims to reduce the rate of head injuries in the league. However, NFL's top special teams player Keisean Nixon is unfazed by the rule, calling it "Whack" in his recent response on Twitter.
Fox News: USA Cycling reportedly draws anger over transgender eligibility survey: 'You are going to get someone killed'
USA Cycling sent a survey inquiring members whether they agree or disagree with the participation of transgender female cyclists in women’s events. This follows the uproar created after Austin Killips won the Tour of the Gila, with the transgender participation policy far from clear. The UCI appeared to defenders of the controversial policy, but then later changed its tone in consideration of arguments to counterbalance the desire of transgender athletes to compete and the needs for an equal playing field between the sexes. The survey had a multiple-choice nature with varied responses with some members feeling frustrated that there isn't room for nuanced responses, making the survey flawed. Expect a backlash against the sport unless and until the rules are clearly defined to the satisfaction of everyone concerned.
