Townhall: Let the Cream Rise
Ron DeSantis announced his candidacy for the Republican presidential nomination on Twitter. Donald Trump is expected to be his biggest rival and has already attacked him, but time will tell how effective his attacks will be and how DeSantis will handle them. Some conservatives have soured on Trump and are concerned that his character flaws have turned too many Americans away from him. Trump has the opportunity to demonstrate that he is the better candidate by being magnanimous and welcoming the challenge that DeSantis provides. Cream rises to the top without pushing everything else to the bottom, and if Trump truly loves America, he will prove it by being the better man. \
The Epoch Times: Where Are Woodward and Bernstein When We Need Them
The Durham Report exposes the corruption of the American bureaucracy and its alliance with the elite media to protect the left and attack the right. The IRS scandal involving Lois Lerner and the Benghazi cover-up were just the beginning of this devastating level of dishonesty. The corrupt system worked to protect Joe Biden and his family while relentlessly smearing and defaming President Trump. The corruption of the establishment threatens the survival of American freedom, and there are no courageous journalists or publishers willing to uncover the truth.
The Blaze: Woman who spat on BLM protester rejects probation offer: 'I’d rather go to jail right now'
Stephanie Rapkin, a 67-year-old attorney from Wisconsin, has chosen jail time over probation after being convicted of misdemeanor disorderly conduct for spitting on a Black Lives Matter protester during a march in Milwaukee in 2020.

The Federalist Papers: AOC Makes Huge Mistake Challenging Ted Cruz - He Gives Her an Unforgettable History Lesson
Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez claimed that Republicans were once the party of Jim Crow and that Democrats switched sides. But Republican Sen. Ted Cruz challenged that claim. He stated that the Democrats should be held responsible for creating the KKK, writing Jim Crow laws, and filibustering the Civil Rights Act, while Republicans voted at a higher percentage for the legislation. He then pointed out that the GOP had the lowest African American unemployment rate during President Trump's administration, while Democrats work to keep minorities as a culture of government dependence.
Fox News: Twitter erupts after Trump trolls DeSantis with AI-generated video of his 2024 announcement
Donald Trump released a parody video of Governor Ron DeSantis' 2024 presidential announcement on Twitter. The video featured an AI-generated deepfake voice of Elon Musk alongside DeSantis. Six other fake guests appeared in the video, including George Soros, Klaus Schwab, Dick Cheney, Adolph Hitler, the devil, and the FBI. Despite not having used his account since his suspension was lifted, the video was widely shared on Twitter and drew stunned reactions. The video ended with Trump's voice unleashing on the group, including DeSantis.
Newsbusters: Bozell Unveils MRC Exclusive on DHS Weaponization Against Christians, Conservatives, and GOP
MRC President Brent Bozell revealed a new report on Fox Business, exposing the Biden DHS's use of taxpayer money to target Christians, conservatives, and the GOP. The report revealed the DHS's use of a program meant to fight terrorism to compare conservative groups with neo-Nazis and terrorists. Bozell detailed the Pyramid of Far-Right Radicalization that categorizes organizations, including the Republican National Committee, Fox News, and Christian Broadcasting Network, as the first layer. The report also exposes how the University of Dayton, a DHS-funded grantee, used the pyramid in its grant application.
Consequently, Bozell ripped Mayorkas for "going after Fox News" and stated that the Secretary believes that anyone from the Republican National Committee, Breitbart, or reading the right-wing media outlets is a terrorist. Bozell revealed the MRC Free Speech America report, which exposed the DHS's misuse of funds and awarded $352,109 in taxpayer money to the University of Dayton. Despite being recipients of public funds, most organizations refused to provide clarity on how the money was being used. Conservatives are under attack, and Bozell urged viewers to contact their representatives to hold Big Tech accountable for censorship and to demand transparency in their decision-making process.
Flag And Cross: Donald Trump Wants Second CNN Town Hall After 'Absolutely Lovely' First Interview
Donald Trump wants to appear on CNN again after his controversial town hall interview, which attracted 3.3 million viewers. Critics faulted CNN for giving the presidential candidate access to a prestigious audience and the apparent approval of the nation’s cable-television network.
With DeSantis being a potential challenger to Trump in 2024, Trump’s team may have welcomed the inclusion on the popular news channel. The former president is currently behind in the polls in a head-to-head match up with President Joe Biden by 7 points, according to a poll conducted by Reuters.
Breitbart: New York Times Tries, Fails to Fact-check DeSantis on Book Ban Hoax
New York Times fact-checks Governor Ron DeSantis' statement of no book bans in Florida, which is true. However, local school districts may have removed books, which they deemed inappropriate for children. These "bans" are not statewide, but decisions about curriculum and children's protection.
The report that the Times cites from PEN America may also be inaccurate, and 74% of the "banned" books were still available for checkout in school libraries. It's a hoax when the Democrats smear DeSantis and Republicans with this book ban thing.

The Epoch Times: Russia Linked to Hoax Job Ad Offering Ukrainian Mercenaries UK Citizenship
A fake job offering UK/EU citizenship to citizens from MENA in exchange for fighting in Ukraine has been linked to a Kremlin "disinformation" campaign. The ad offers £20k and accelerated citizenship in the UK or EU for "military specialists" from MENA who participate in the "Ukrainian counteroffensive," but was confirmed to be a scam by the European Commission, which says it is likely part of a disinformation campaign aimed at discrediting Ukraine and the EU. Third countries cannot grant EU citizenship and private entities cannot grant citizenship either. This comes as Russia has faced EU-wide sanctions for "systematic information manipulation and disinformation" in their war on Ukraine.

The Epoch Times: Bud Light Boycott Has Cost Anheuser-Busch $15.7 Billion: Analysis
An analysis shows that Anheuser-Busch InBev's market value dropped more than $15 billion since April 1, following transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney's advertising partnership with Bud Light. Bud Light sales were down 23 percent as of the week ending May 6 and JPMorgan Chase analyst Jared Dinges predicted a 12 to 13 percent volume decline. Bud Light marketers launched a rebate campaign and local distributors attempted to win back customers through radio advertisements.

The American Mind: The American Economy’s Wile E. Coyote Moment
The $6 trillion COVID stimulus and inflation are eroding real earnings, but consumers continue to buy, resulting in a sagging economy with modest growth and falling real hourly wages. Biden exacerbated supply-side inflation by injecting $3 trillion into the economy, causing a credit crunch for small and medium-sized businesses. Foreign deposits at U.S. banks are dropping, and trade will likely be financed with rival currencies, further diminishing America's economic influence. The crunch could occur as early as June, or the malaise could last for years, leading to consequences similar to those faced by Britain in the 1960s or Italy in the 2010s.

Forbes: Author Post: Remote Work Does A Body Good
Remote work may have adverse health effects according to an op-ed by Jordan D. Metzl. Some studies found that remote workers may become less active, gain weight, and experience feelings of isolation and depression. However, these studies were conducted during the Covid-19 pandemic, which limited movement and increased stress levels. Companies can counteract this by providing step-counting devices and holding weekly activity contests. Virtual work also has benefits for mental and emotional health, such as the ability to work wherever one wants, but it is important for companies to assess home workspaces for comfort and productivity. The problem is not remote work, but how we work remotely.

The Epoch Times: The Half-Truths About Cooking Oils: 2 Main Problems, May Be Linked With Cancer
The common belief that vegetable oils are healthy cooking oils may not be entirely accurate. While they do lower blood cholesterol, most vegetable oils are highly oxidative, leading to potential cell DNA damage that could cause cancer. Most vegetable oils also involve many industrial chemicals and processes during refinement, which introduce potential toxins and carcinogens. While many health guidelines promote vegetable polyunsaturated fats over animal fats, research shows that animal fats high in saturated fat are the most stable oils for cooking.

Forbes: Tom And Shiv's 'Succession' Breakup Is An Episodic Course In Rich People Divorce
As Tom and Shiv's marriage hits a rough patch on "Succession," viewers can learn valuable lessons about prenups and divorce. Tom's signed prenup, which lacked a clause about infidelity, could be rendered null and void if a judge deems it "unconscionable." Shiv's move to Los Angeles carries implications for potential divorce proceedings, as California's laws don't allow for fault-based divorce. Conflicting out, a tactic Tom employs by discussing his case with top divorce attorneys to prevent them from representing Shiv, is unethical but not uncommon. As the Roy family's media empire faces instability due to Logan's death and ownership structure, Tom's future role could be in question.
