The Epoch Times: IN-DEPTH: Government Policies Can Stimulate or Stop Illegal Immigration, Experts Say
Potential illegal immigrants are carefully monitoring U.S. policy changes, experts warn, and will not embark on a dangerous and expensive trip if they will not be able to stay in the United States or be detained and deported. End of the Trump-era public health policy known as Title 42 has allowed migrants to cross the border and stay long-term in the country. Policies that remove the “entry and stay benefit” for illegal immigrants are needed to stop illegal border crossings, experts say, as well as policies that make entry into the country less likely and long-term stay in the country even more unlikely. Hashtag:
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott deployed the Texas Department of Public Safety and special Tactical Border Force of the National Guard in the area to stop illegal immigrants from entering the country. Immigrants line up to be processed in makeshift migrant camps. The Darien Gap is a region that spans the Colombia–Panama border where many migrants start their journey to the United States through the roadless jungle, exposing themselves to danger from natural hazards and hostile groups controlling the region. The US has launched a plan to reduce poverty and create jobs in communities on the Panama–Colombia border partnering with international organizations and the private sector. Hashtag:

Red State: It's Official: Ron DeSantis Files Paperwork for Presidential Run
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis files paperwork for presidential bid on Wednesday, hours before his campaign launch announcement with Elon Musk on Twitter Spaces. DeSantis removed reference to Florida from his Twitter handle earlier this week. DeSantis said in September 2021 that he was not considering a presidential run, instead focusing on re-election and social issues. He has around $90 million in campaign funds and support from a super PAC with a $200 million budget.
The American Mind: Burkean Nationalism
National Conservatism, born in England, won a significant victory in the Brexit referendum of 2016. Like the election of Donald Trump in the United States, Brexit expanded the horizons of a more nationalist conservatism across the West. However, the lack of a clear policy program has become a significant challenge for a political coalition. The Left, driven by greed, elitism, and globalism, abjures democracy, equality, diversity, justice, religion, the nation-state, political accountability, and even objective truth, and seeks to end political contests altogether. The globalist elites in every nation skirt accountability through international treaties, courts, and unelected bureaucracies. The ruling class despises nationhood and pursues the policy of destroying all vestiges of the ancient country, in religion, polity, laws, and manners, and confounding all territorial limits. National Conservatism is derided and sometimes hailed as something new, unfamiliar and frightening. However, it is the rebirth of principles western conservatives deemphasized over the last three decades, and can identify yesterday's missteps and today's opportunities. The One-Nation Burkean policy agenda should put the United Kingdom's people first, make the nation-state a true political, corporate, spiritual, and civic institution, and prioritize a treasured patrimony, raise children in one's own faith, protect religious freedom, and make the economy as welcoming to one-income families in the twenty-first century as it was to two-income families in the twentieth. The policy program should focus
Newsbusters: FAKE NEWS: CBS Peddles Tall Tale About Poem Being ‘Banned’ From Florida School
A Florida school faced accusations of banning Amanda Gorman’s poem, The Hill We Climb, after a parent filed a complaint claiming it was not educational and contained hate messages. Liberal media perpetuated the fake news story with incorrect headlines, but in reality, the school district never banned or removed the poem and merely moved it to the middle school section of the library. Co-hosts on CBS Mornings noted that the controversy was a non-story and agreed that the compromise was a decent one since the poem would still be available to advanced elementary students who could handle the content.
Washington Free Beacon: Cruz Challenger Who Says He's Pro-Israel Rakes in $200K From Anti-Israel Group
Texas Democrat Colin Allred, aiming to unseat Republican Senator Ted Cruz, has taken almost $200,000 in campaign donations from J Street, an anti-Israel group. Allred, who says he supports the State of Israel, has been criticized for accepting donations from an organization that is critical of Israel and advocates restricting US aid to the country. The Republican Jewish Coalition has said the donations, along with Allred's support of Ilhan Omar and his opposition to condemning Israel boycotts, could damage his bid to become the first Democrat to represent Texas in the Senate since 1993. Texas has around 120,000 Jewish residents, and the Republican Party has links to Israel.
National Review: DeSantis Joins Carlson in Pushing Musk’s Twitter to the Center of the GOP Stage
Florida governor Ron DeSantis plans to launch his 2024 campaign during a Twitter Spaces interview with Elon Musk, indicating a trend of right-wing politicians bypassing traditional media institutions and using social media platforms. Critics have argued that this strategy is "too online." DeSantis will also participate in traditional media interviews, such as a radio interview and interview with Fox News. He plans to build excitement through a $100 million voter-outreach push and a ground game in key swing states.
Breitbart: Conservatives to Speaker Kevin McCarthy: ‘Hold the Line' on Debt Ceiling
Republicans in the House are rallying behind Speaker Kevin McCarthy in his negotiations with President Joe Biden over the debt ceiling. Conservative leaders are circulating a memo encouraging McCarthy to "hold the line" on spending reforms as the essential core of any deal with the White House. Recent polling data shows that 60 percent of Americans support spending reductions as a condition for raising the debt ceiling with another 15 percent opposed to raising the debt ceiling altogether.
National Review: The Corner: Sonny Hostin Doesn’t Want to Know
Host of The View, Sonny Hostin, was corrected by a producer during a live taping after falsely claiming that Elon Musk's poll numbers must be "in the toilet." A recent Harvard-Harris poll found that Musk was viewed favorably by 47 percent of registered voters, making him more popular than President Joe Biden or former president Donald Trump. Hostin's false assertion and lack of fact-checking is not surprising for a show featuring hosts who don't know much about current events, but the fact that it was corrected on air is eyebrow-raising.
The Babylon Bee: Adolf Hitler Announces Run For President

PJ Media: Why Didn't Durham Talk to the Liars Who Pushed Fake Trump-Russia Collusion? The Answer's a Stunner.
The Durham Report confirms that individuals involved in the Trump-Russia scandal lied for political gain and to help one party over another. Disgraced former FBI Director James Comey, Andrew McCabe, Peter Strzok, and others managed to avoid fully cooperating with the investigation. Sens. Chuck Grassley and Ron Johnson are asking why they were not compelled to testify and want more answers. The Durham investigation served more than 190 subpoenas and executed seven search warrants compared to Mueller’s office, which issued over 2,800 subpoenas and executed nearly 500 search-and-seizure warrants. The senators want to know why the numbers are so different.
The Epoch Times: Hungary’s Prime Minister Says He Wants Trump To Return To Win 2024 Election
Hungary’s Prime Minister Viktor Orban expresses his support for former President Donald Trump’s return to the White House in the 2024 Presidential Election and refused to criticize President Joe Biden. Orban is a staunch nationalist and criticizes Brussels regarding illegal migration, traditional family values, domestic policy, and policy decisions surrounding the war in Ukraine. He shares common ground with Trump over populism, national sovereignty, and immigration policy, earning them intense hatred from the left.
Orban states that both sides in the Ukraine conflict need to agree to an immediate ceasefire and return to the negotiating table to "save lives" and that Kyiv has no chance at winning the war against Moscow. However, EU defense ministers in Brussels are continuing to discuss plans to start training Ukrainian pilots to fly American-made F-16 fighter jets in the near future. Orban describes Hungary as "an incubator where we experiment with the future of conservative politics" and calls out the radical left’s global campaign to promote transgenderism, illegal immigration, and the removal of conservative leaders worldwide.

Breitbart: Corporate Queering: Target Children's Apparel Advertised as 'Thoughtfully Fit' for Multiple 'Gender Expressions'
Target has come under fire for selling transgender clothing to children in its annual pride collection. The merchandise claims to be "thoughtfully fit" for "multiple body types and gender expressions". While a Target spokesperson claims that the "tuck-friendly" swimwear is only available in adult sizes, several children’s items feature a label which reads "Thoughtfully Fit on Multiple Body Types and Gender Expressions". Meanwhile, the Associated Press reports that some children’s black swimskirts have a tag stating "Thoughtfully Fit on Multiple Body Types and Gender Expressions”.
The Blaze: Gavin Newsom bashes Target CEO, says blacks, Asians, Jews, and women are next victims of 'systemic attack'
California Governor Gavin Newsom criticized Target CEO Brian Cornell for allegedly moving LGBTQ products to the back of stores due to pressure from right-wing extremists. Newsom accused Cornell of selling out the LGBTQ+ community and claimed that there is a systematic attack on the gay community happening across the country. His accusation was met with criticism on social media, with many pointing out that Target sells products for other minority groups without backlash. Target executives held an emergency meeting to address the growing furor against their LGBTQ marketing campaign, and the company announced that it will be moving products to the back of the store to avoid physical threats allegedly made against its employees.
The Babylon Bee: Nation's Husbands Now Praying Hobby Lobby Does Something Stupid
In the wake of Target boycotts, husbands across the US pray Hobby Lobby will make bad PR move to cause similar backlash. They agree a potential boycott could be a "financial blessing" for them, though wives express commitment to the company. A group of husbands are even visiting Hobby Lobby locations with hidden cameras, asking if the store wants to display for Pride Month.

The Epoch Times: G-7 Statement on China 'Late in the Game': Cybersecurity Expert
Former director of cybersecurity policy, strategy, and international affairs at the Department of Defense, John Mills, has said that the statement made by the G-7 leaders regarding China at the summit in Japan was too late. The communiqué mentioned China sixteen times, with the leaders emphasising the importance of peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait in addition to opposing China’s militarisation and maritime claims in the South China Sea: “We remain seriously concerned about the situation in the East and South China seas. We strongly oppose any unilateral attempts to change the status quo by force or coercion.” Mills expressed concern that China’s aggressive foreign policy could provoke a kinetic-phase war.
Mills compared the US government’s export controls to President Roosevelt’s decision to cut oil and rubber supplies to Japan in 1941, which preceded the attack on Pearl Harbor. The G-7 leaders expressed preparedness to build “constructive and stable” bonds with China while opposing the country’s malevolent economic practices, disinformation, and market-distorting practices. Mills was also cited in connection with the US’ renewal of the Compact of Free Association (COFA) with the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM) and Palau, which obliges the US to provide economic aid to these states in exchange for defence base operation rights.
The Epoch Times: House China Panel Calls for US to Surge Missiles, Troops to Taiwan
The U.S. Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party has approved a report outlining ten policy recommendations, which aim to protect Taiwan against China. Included in the report are proposals to surge weapons to Taiwan, integrate military planning, and cooperate in defense coordination. A combined planning group would allow both countries to build trust and develop procedures for working together.
The report has been criticized for its overemphasis on military issues. Representative Andy Kim was the sole member of the bipartisan committee to vote against passing the recommendations. The State Department refused invitations from the committee to contribute to the proposals. Kim has expressed optimism for the future of the group, hoping it can "knit together a strategic approach" and look beyond strictly security-focused policy recommendations.
The Epoch Times: Rep. McCaul Presses Blinken for Answers on Reported Pause of China Sanctions
Chairman Michael McCaul is pressuring the State Department to reveal details about its alleged decision to postpone human rights-related sanctions and export controls targeting China, as well as sanctions against Chinese officials for human rights violations. In a letter to the State Secretary, McCaul cited a Reuters report that stated the State Department had delayed several non-balloon actions to preserve the U.S.-China relations. McCaul called these instructions “deeply troubling” and accused the State Department of showing “continued weakness and passivity” in the face of Chinese aggression. The requested documents include communications relating to the Chinese regime, information on staffing arrangements at China House, and other documents detailing department policy with China following the Chinese spy balloon incident.

Breitbart: Biden Admin Cancels $200M Grant to CCP-Linked Microvast After GOP Scrutiny
The Biden administration cancelled a $200m grant to Microvast, a Chinese Communist Party-linked lithium-ion battery maker, after Republican lawmakers criticised the deal. The funds were intended to help America become less reliant on China for critical supplies like lithium-ion batteries. Microvast was one of 20 companies chosen, despite maintaining a "substantial portion" of its operations in China. The Chinese Foreign Ministry said it "firmly opposes" the decision, according to the state-controlled Global Times. However, Republican lawmakers praised the decision to cancel the grant, calling it a "win for taxpayers and American businesses."

The Epoch Times: Do Patterns Among COVID-19 Vaccine Batches Reveal Intentional Design to Harm?
Former pharmaceutical executive Sasha Latypova claims that there are four levels of harm intensity in the Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines, based on batch numbers. She argues that these levels, which range from placebo to high toxicity, are abnormal and not compliant with U.S. Food and Drug Administration standards. One research letter submitted by Danish scientists found that Pfizer's mRNA COVID-19 vaccine batches fell into three distinct levels of harm, revealing severe toxicity in nine "high" batches and very few adverse events in 12 "low" batches. Latypova argues that this data shows the vaccines were not compliant with current Good Manufacturing Practice standards.
PJ Media: Addressing the Real Culprit of Skyrocketing Overdose Deaths
The US is facing a deadly phase of the opioid crisis due to synthetic opioid fentanyl, accounting for nearly 70% of overdose deaths. Fentanyl is being trafficked across borders and cut with other substances, making it even more dangerous. Settlement funds are arriving to combat the crisis, but some states are pursuing alternative legal strategies. A national and coordinated response is needed to invest in harm reduction and prevention strategies to save lives and attack the real culprit of the growing fentanyl crisis.
The Epoch Times: Antioxidants May Lower Radiation Risk From Medical Imaging
Americans are increasingly being exposed to ionizing radiation from medical imaging tests such as CT scans, leading to concerns among doctors and patients about the potential link to cancer. While small, promising studies have shown that antioxidants like vitamin C, E, and beta-carotene could help reduce DNA damage caused by ionizing radiation, experts emphasize the importance of minimizing exposure and avoiding unnecessary tests, especially for children and adolescents. While some level of ionizing radiation exposure is unavoidable due to natural sources, the increased use of medical imaging tests has doubled Americans' total radiation exposure, according to Harvard Health.

PJ Media: Why Did the DOJ Downgrade Charges Against the ‘White Supremacist’ Who Rammed White House Barricade?
A U-Haul truck crashed into security barriers near the White House, with a Nazi flag found in the truck. The driver, Sai Varshith Kandula, faced initial charges of threatening the president, vice president, and others, as well as assault and trespassing. However, the charges have been downgraded to only one count of property damage. Kandula claimed to have planned the attack for months, but had no discernible plan and is clearly mentally ill. He made threats that would warrant more serious charges initially, and doubts are raised about the incident and law enforcement's actions.

Washington Free Beacon: Recycling is Bad for the Environment: Study
Plastic recycling is causing pollution, with up to 13% of recycled plastic becoming microplastics that pollute air and water, according to a new study. The process of recycling is also expensive, with many waste-management companies no longer practicing it. This study adds to growing skepticism about recycling, as more initiatives are focused on phasing out gas stoves and shutting down coal and gas plants.
