Breitbart: Exclusive Photos: Physical Barriers No Match for Surrendering Migrants at Texas Border Town
Migrant asylum-seekers cross the border near Eagle Pass, Texas, in spite of barrier measures such as razor wire and a border wall. Public officials, though monitoring the situation, were unable to deter the migrants from crossing in the face of penalties under the United States Code: Title 8. After the title's expiration on May 11, the Del Rio sector reported the greatest number of daily apprehensions, with over 1,000 per day. The sector's agents have had to process groups of migrants crossing the Rio Grande together, and because of the number of crossings, the Eagle Pass soft-sided processing center is now holding as many as 2,000 migrants, 150% of capapcity.

Fox News: Fox News Poll: More than half of voters think Trump is a strong leader, Biden isn’t
Former President Donald Trump maintains his lead in the latest Fox News survey among GOP primary voters with 53% support nationally, followed by Ron DeSantis at 20%. Other candidates trail significantly, with Joe Biden leading among Democratic primary voters. The survey also shows a majority of voters do not believe either Trump or Biden have appropriate judgment or mental soundness to serve as leader.
The survey also shows perceptions of Biden have taken a significant dip since the 2020 elections, with only 33% of respondents considering him a strong leader and registering major declines in empathy, honesty, and mental soundness. Trump, on the other hand, is rated as a strong leader by 51% of respondents and is considered corrupt by 55%. Biden holds a slight edge over Trump in honesty and empathy, but Trump is rated higher on mental soundness and judgment by Republican and independent voters.

DeSantis believes the US is undergoing a decline and that success and freedom can be restored through normalcy in communities and by restoring the value of truth and common sense.

Although he trails former President Donald Trump in the race, DeSantis is considered a strong contender in the Republican nomination.

He emphasized the need to strengthen institutions through truth and common sense, and outlined his achievements as governor. DeSantis enters the 2024 race in a relatively strong position with the possibility of accessing substantial resources as he seeks to establish his brand in the highly fragmented GOP field.
Fox News: NC Gov Roy Cooper faces scrutiny for sending daughter to private school amid opposition to school choice bill
North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper, a Democrat, declared a "state of emergency" this week in an attempt to prevent a school choice bill from passing the state legislature, despite sending his own daughter to a private school in Raleigh. Cooper, highlighting Republican efforts as a "private school voucher scheme," said the North Carolina he knows "was built on support for public schools" and insisted that more money should be geared toward public schools and teacher pay raises. The comments from Cooper come after he sent at least one of his three daughters to Saint Mary's School, an expensive private school in Raleigh, according to reports.
Red State: Christopher Wray Defies Subpoena for Biden Bribery Document, Congress Moves to Escalate
FBI Director Christopher Wray has defied a congressional subpoena for an FD-1023 form related to an alleged bribery scheme involving Joe Biden. Despite the document being unclassified, and House Republicans not seeking the identity of the whistleblower, Wray is refusing to provide it.

Unfortunately, there is little chance of Wray being prosecuted due to the DOJ being run by AG Merrick Garland.

Spectator USA: The DeSantis announcement is another Elon Musk power move
Ron DeSantis announces his 2024 presidential entrance on Twitter Spaces with Elon Musk, an unconventional move designed to bypass traditional media outlets. The live audio hosting room may face technical difficulties and potential interruptions from Trump.

This move signals a shift away from traditional media and towards tech and Silicon Valley.
Fox News: Comer threatens to hold FBI in contempt of Congress if it fails to release key Biden document
House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer has threatened to initiate contempt of Congress proceedings against the FBI if the bureau does not produce a subpoenaed document by May 30. Comer has subpoenaed the FBI for an FD-1023 form that allegedly describes a criminal scheme involving then-Vice President Biden.

Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, alleging that the FBI and Justice Department were in possession of it.
Newsbusters: Biden Admin Pushing to Make AI Incubator for Leftist Politics
The Biden administration is using AI to advance leftist political narratives & influence elections while supposedly mitigating the risks of AI, according to a new plan by the Office of Science and Technology Policy. The plan includes an "updated roadmap to focus federal investments in AI research and development", an advice questionnaire that includes politicized questions, and a "listening session with workers." Using AI to interfere in elections is one of the key tactics the left intends to use to hold on to the White House. AI is already being used to figure out how to manipulate and control what people think. Government collusion with Big Tech to censor the Hunter Biden scandals ultimately helped steal the 2020 presidential election for Joe Biden.
Daily Wire: Rep. McCaul Says Key Afghanistan Withdrawal Memo Reveals Biden Admin Ignored Warning Signs: Report
President Biden's administration ignored warnings from Kabul embassy officials about the deteriorating security situation in Afghanistan before the withdrawal in August 2021. A 2021 dissent cable was viewed by House Foreign Affairs Committee Chair Michael McCaul and Ranking Member Greg Meeks, which reportedly urged allies to evacuate immediately before the Taliban seized control of Afghanistan. The documents cautioned about weapon and equipment leaving billions of dollars worth of equipment in the hands of the Taliban.
Although the dissent cables contained nothing new, Republicans such as McCaul thought they were a pivotal piece of evidence that the administration ignored warnings. It was reported that an insufficient written summary of the dissent was turned over to lawmakers, leading McCaul to threaten holding Secretary of State Antony Blinken in contempt of Congress. The president withdrew American military presence from Afghanistan almost two decades after the initial engagement, leading to what many described as a chaotic evacuation that culminated in the killing of thirteen service members.
National Review: The Corner: Ron DeSantis’s Candidacy Is Not Cursed Because He Is a ‘Florida Man’
Politico's senior politics editor Charles Mahtesian argues that Ron DeSantis has a good chance of winning the presidency, despite Florida never producing a president. Mahtesian notes that Florida has only been a top ten state in population since 1960, but points out that every state was like this at some point. The assertion that DeSantis may be held back by Florida's reputation as a state of "grifters, rejects, and assorted weirdos" is unfounded, as past Floridian presidential candidates such as Reubin Askew, Bob Graham, Jeb Bush, and Marco Rubio were all serious politicians who were not hindered by this stereotype. DeSantis is a serious and disciplined politician who won reelection by a wide margin, and voters are unlikely to hold the "Florida man" stereotype against him.

Forbes: Delivery Drivers Sue Amazon For Being Forced To Pee In Bottles

The drivers argue their harsh working conditions violate several Colorado wage laws and have a “disparate impact” on women. Trash cans at the fulfilment centres were "frequently overflowing" with urine bottles, according to the lawsuit. Amazon has suffered an upswing in negative publicity recently, facing fines for breaching occupational safety rules and allegations of discrimination.

The Epoch Times: Johnston Report Notes Systemic Obstacles in Getting Intel to Policy-Makers
Special Rapporteur David Johnston highlights shortcomings in the dissemination of intelligence within the Canadian state machinery in his report on foreign interference on Canadian soil. He notes that reports produced by the country's main intelligence collection agencies are sent to departments at large with no clear recipient. Johnston says staffers in the Prime Minister's Office are provided with a larger binder full of intelligence products in a secure room with only a short time to review it, and no context, or prioritization of the material provided. This report follows a lack of accountability in the dissemination of potentially high-impact classified information, which turned into a public scandal in early May.

Fox News: Pro-lifers rejoice as Planned Parenthood announces national staffing cuts
Planned Parenthood has announced layoffs for up to 15 percent of its national office staff to fund non-abortion care. The funding from the firings will be used to fund non-abortion services in pro-life states such as sexually transmitted disease testing, cancer screenings, contraception, and gender surgery. Pro-life measures, including millions of dollars in compassionate care for mothers and children in need of financial and physical resources, have been advancing in states across the country. The pro-life movement has been gaining momentum since the Dobbs Supreme Court decision last year overturned Roe v. Wade, with states enacting commonsense protections for innocent human life. South Carolina's heartbeat bill, Nebraska's abortion ban at 12 weeks, and a restriction on sex-change surgeries for people under 19 years old are among the pro-life bills that have exceptions for rape, incest, and danger to the life of the mother.
