The Blaze: Vanity Fair writer melts down over DeSantis' presidential bid announcement with Elon Musk, likening Twitter's South African CEO to former head of KKK
Vanity Fair published an article comparing Twitter CEO Elon Musk to a former head of the KKK, leading to significant criticism online. The leftist writer insinuated that Musk harbors sympathies with neo-Nazis due to hyperlinked allegations that hate speech has increased on the platform since his takeover. Musk responded with a comment that might make the author's list and called the article competition for satire. Many criticized the piece, with some calling it slander op-ed, and the rapid response director for Governor Ron DeSantis' re-election campaign saying the media is losing their position as gatekeepers.

The Federalist Papers: Target Takes 'Emergency' Action After LGBT Kids Items Spark Furor: 'Terrified of a Bud Light Situation'
Target has directed some Southern stores to remove displays of LGBT products from the front of their stores. This move came after stores faced backlash due to the promotion of LGBT merchandise aimed at children in the lead-up to “Pride” month. The LGBT sections in stores in South Carolina, Arkansas and Georgia have been moved to less prominent locations. The attempt was to avoid becoming the next Bud Light in the eyes of conservative Americans.
The Epoch Times: Australia Has 41,000 Modern Slaves: Report
Australia has doubled its number of modern slaves in the past five years, with an estimated 41,000 people living in modern slavery on its shores, according to a report by human rights group Walk Free. Modern slavery consists of exploitation involving individuals who cannot refuse or escape due to threats, coercion, violence, deception and abuse. While North Korea had the highest prevalence, two in three people enslaved lived in six G20 nations: India, Turkey, Indonesia, Russia, China and the US. Nearly $710bn of G20 products could come from forced labour, the report showed. The study also revealed 16% of migrants in Australia were paid less than minimum wage.

PJ Media: The Pride Cult Really Hates Judeo-Christian Values
The LGBTQ+ community's Pride Month celebrations have become increasingly cultish, demanding everyone not only tolerate, but celebrate their movement. Christians are particularly targeted with the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, a drag troupe that mocks Catholicism among other religions, being honored by the Los Angeles Dodgers. Target, partnering with the London-based clothing brand Abprallen, promotes satanic-inspired merchandise alongside Pride Month items, angering customers with its obnoxious promotion. These events demonstrate the LGBTQ+ community's attempts to undermine Judeo-Christian values.

The Epoch Times: New Generation of Dangerous Disinfectants Takes Hold During COVID
The COVID-19 pandemic has led to a significant increase in the use of Quaternary Ammonium Compounds (QACs), which are found in many cleaning and disinfecting products, as well as personal care items. However, a new review by 26 scientists warns that the widespread use of QACs may have harmful effects on our environment and health. Aquatic organisms show signs of acute and chronic toxicity due to escalating QAC concentrations, and QAC exposure may cause skin irritation, respiratory problems, and metabolic struggles in humans. Furthermore, QACs may promote antimicrobial resistance and have potential far-reaching implications on future generations. The authors urge consumers to scrutinize product ingredient lists and regulatory bodies to promote more uniform regulation and transparency.
The Epoch Times: Messenger RNA COVID-19 Vaccines Linked to Increased Risk of Vaginal Bleeding
Women vaccinated with Pfizer or Moderna COVID-19 vaccines are at heightened risk of vaginal bleeding, according to a new Swedish study. Although adjustments to the data reduced some of the risk, younger women remained more likely to suffer after the first and third doses, with older women being more likely to experience the issue after the first, second, and third doses. The study covered all women aged 12 to 74 in the country from December 27, 2020, to February 28, 2022. Researchers acknowledged the increased risks but downplayed the findings, saying there was inconsistency in the association between removing any significant support for a causal link .

Fox News: New Jersey software developer sentenced to 12 years for photographing landmarks for possible terrorist attacks
Alexei Saab, a former software developer who prosecutors accused of photographing landmarks in New York, Boston, and Washington, D.C. for terrorist attacks, has been sentenced to 12 years in prison by a federal judge. Judge Paul G. Gardephe acknowledged that Saab was once a part of a Lebanese-based terrorist group but became a model prisoner after his 2019 arrest. Saab was convicted of receiving training from the Hezbollah organization, conspiring to commit marriage fraud, and making false statements. He was acquitted of three other charges, and the jury was unable to reach a verdict on a material support for a terrorist group charge.
Fox News: Rhodes, other Oath Keepers expected to be sentenced for seditious conspiracy relating to Jan. 6 protests
The first Jan. 6 defendant sentenced for seditious conspiracy will be Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes and members of his anti-government group. Prosecutors are seeking a 25-year jail term for Rhodes which would be the harshest sentence handed down in relation to the U.S. Capitol attack. This would set a standard for more punishments of far-right extremists to come. The Oath Keepers’ actions are considered as terrorism and ensuring that stiff punishments are put in place is crucial to sending a message to those who may instigate political violence in the future.
Prosecutors are seeking prison sentences ranging from 10 to 21 years for other Oath Keepers involved. Judges have so far rejected the Justice Department's request to apply a "terrorism enhancement" in cases, but they are urging the judge to apply it in Oath Keepers' case to influence the government through "intimidation or coercion”. The Justice Department considers this unique compared to any other defendant convicted of a role in the attack and are pushing for these members of the anti-government group to be sentenced to enhanced penalties for "terrorism". More than 1,000 people have been charged with federal crimes arising from the riot and more than 500 have been sentenced.

Forbes: For The Cleveland Guardians It’s A New Season With An Old Problem
Cleveland's Guardians are experiencing a brutal season start, having won just 21 out of 48 games played. Offensively struggling, the Guardians rank 14th or 15th in the American League in seven categories. Last year too they struggled to score runs, so the Guardians took a plunge into the free agent waters by signing Bell and Zunino. However, Cleveland seems to be one of the weakest-hitting teams in the MLB. Francona is doing his best as a manager to guide his sputtering team out of this choppy early-season period.
Zunino, who hit 33 home runs in 2019, has turned out to be a major disappointment, both offensively as well as defensively, and Naylor seems to be the future at the catching position. The Guardians have scored two runs or less in 40% of their games this year and three or less runs in 63% of their games. The team has a minus-55 run differential. Francona, however, holds team meetings and tries to deflect criticism from his team. “We’re in this together, and I wanted to make sure they understand that,” he said.
Fox News: Dear players and coaches, NFL owners don’t care what you think when it comes to their interests – analysis
NFL owners voted for their interests and against the will of players and coaches, approving late-season games to be flexed from Sunday to Thursday and weakening the kickoff play by inserting fair catches behind the 25-yard line, to the annoyance of many. The main reason for these changes is likely to keep Amazon, their $11 billion streaming partner, happy with its matchups. This move is betraying fans who bought tickets to Sunday games that will now take place on Thursday, even if owners claim it is for "player safety."
Forbes: Who Will Be FC Barcelona’s Next Captain?
With Sergio Busquets, Gerard Pique and Jordi Alba departing, there is great speculation as to who will be the four skippers for FC Barcelona next season. If Lionel Messi completes a free transfer back to Barca, he is likely to become the captain, but financial difficulties may send him to Saudi Arabia instead. If the armbands are distributed by seniority, Sergi Roberto, Marc-Andre Ter Stegen, Ousmane Dembele and Frenkie de Jong are likely candidates, but Ronald Araujo and Robert Lewandowski are also possibilities.
