Fox News: Parents infuriated as migrants enroll in Chicago schools without health records after years of COVID rules
Chicago parents criticize public schools for allowing migrant children to enroll without health documentation while residents are required to provide vaccination records. The inconsistency has caused outrage among Chicago residents who believe that all children should have to comply with the same guidelines and principles. These policies have prompted outrage from residents as 40 to 50 migrant children are expected to enroll at one elementary school and a dozen migrant children in a nearby high school for the final weeks of the school year.

SUNY campuses are being considered as part of a range of state assets to help with the crisis. Hochul did not confirm the exact emergency shelter locations.

Red State: Every Republican (and Some Democrats) in the Louisiana House Voted to Ban Child Sex Changes. One Republican Senator Killed It.
Louisiana state Senator Fred Mills, who switched from the Democratic to the Republican party in 2010 to get re-elected, voted with Democrats to kill a bill that would have banned sex-change operations for any child under 18. Mills, who chairs the state Senate Health and Welfare Committee, came under fire from conservatives who saw the move as pandering to Big Pharma donors. Mills, who is term-limited, sided with Democrats on a medical practice that many experts consider controversial and unproven. The move was seen as an attempt to protect other RINOs from having to take a tough stand.
The Epoch Times: Supreme Court Overturns Fraud Convictions Related to Cuomo Project
The Supreme Court overturned the fraud convictions of four businessmen, including three connected to the "Buffalo Billion" development plan led by former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo. The court remanded all the cases to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 2nd Circuit for reconsideration in light of its earlier rulings. These orders followed the Supreme Court's recent decision to overturn the public corruption conviction of a former senior aide to Cuomo, in a unanimous decision limiting the reach of the federal honest-services fraud statute.
Newsbusters: PolitiFact Attacks DeSantis's Twitter Campaign Forum
PolitiFact fact-checked seven statements made by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis during his Twitter Spaces campaign launch. PolitiFact criticized DeSantis for not being hyper-literal and dinged him for downplaying book removals that his own administration has acknowledged. They also questioned the quality of the data behind DeSantis's claim that Florida has a 50-year low in crime rates. Additionally, PolitiFact used Democratic service secretaries to fact-check Republicans on military matters. However, DeSantis was correct in stating that Florida has more Black-owned businesses than any other state and is the No. 1 state for net in-migration.
Fox News: Top Biden official repeatedly met with Soros' foundation and other influential left-wing groups, docs show
USAID administrator Samantha Power met with influential liberal foundations including George Soros' Open Society Foundations and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, according to internal calendar entries. Power frequently met with high-level individuals within the grant-making foundations, each of which pushes massive sums of money internationally in addition to their expansive domestic funding of progressive causes and initiatives. Power's close association with left-wing outside groups exemplifies how the Biden administration keeps in touch with such groups for advice and recommendations.
Power also participated in meetings with other powerful liberal groups like the Ford and Rockefeller foundations, according to the calendar entries. USAID spokesperson stated that working with philanthropies and the private sector was important to improving the quality of life for people around the world. The Biden administration has kept a close contact with outside liberal groups, with dozens of its officials and agencies affiliated with such groups, according to Fox News Digital reports. Soros and Gates-funded groups have maintained channels to the administration and have boasted of executing domestic policy proposals.
The Epoch Times: Democrats Accuse GOP for ‘Manufactured Crisis’ Over Debt Ceiling
The battle for hearts and minds over the debt ceiling continues, as Democrats take their message to the people in a series of press events, calling the crisis a "manufactured crisis, plain and simple". Democrats accuse Republicans of using strong-arm tactics to impose deep spending cuts, accusing them of being "unreasonable and so extreme". Republicans have rejected Democrat proposals to repeal tax subsidies for large corporations and billionaires, and create a minimum tax rate for them, which could have saved $3 trillion.
Flag And Cross: Did DeSantis' Twitter Campaign Reveal Fail? Twitter Outage Graph Shows Just How Badly It Backfired
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis officially announced his bid for the GOP nomination for president in the 2024 election with a Twitter Spaces streaming conversation with Elon Musk and other supporters, breaking Twitter in the process. Despite the technical difficulties with the livestream, DeSantis' campaign rollout was lackluster and failed to live up to the hype, with critics noting the governor's lack of charisma and emotional appeal. DeSantis plans to run to the right of former President Donald Trump, focusing on fighting public-school indoctrination, government-enforced wokeness, and big-tech bias, but he faces an uphill battle as Trump remains popular among Republican voters.
National Review: The Corner: Against DeSantis Doomcasting
Governor DeSantis launched his campaign for president on Twitter, but technical issues caused the Twitter Space to crash. His opening speech felt scripted, but the discussion later became more fruitful as he emphasized Florida's popularity, took a strong stance on bureaucracy and defended Florida's actions against progressive social theories. He notably left out mentioning Trump by name, which may define the immediate narrative. Nonetheless, DeSantis provides the best chance for change in the face of Biden's failing presidency and the GOP frontrunner's catastrophic consequences.
Red State: Bombshell: GOP Letter Drops Explosive Info About Suspect in Pipe Bombs at RNC, DNC
Suspect who allegedly planted pipe bombs at the DNC and RNC on Jan. 5, 2021 still unidentified, despite being captured on video.

Former agent claims FBI linked suspect to a MetroRail SmarTrip Card and license plate, but still has not identified the subject. GOP demands a briefing on the matter no later than June 7.
The Epoch Times: House Passes Bill That Would Make Fentanyl a Schedule I Drug
The House passed the HALT Fentanyl Act to combat the opioid crisis in the US, which will list fentanyl as a Schedule I narcotic and increase penalties for traffickers. The bill was supported by President Joe Biden, but faced opposition from a coalition of civil rights groups who called it ineffective and punitive. Some Republicans argued the bill does not go far enough, while some Democrats criticized it for not sufficiently focusing on long-term recovery and addressing the root causes of addiction.
PJ Media: Trump Accuses DeSantis of Plagiarism. There’s Just One Problem...
Trump's campaign sent 13 emails and many more social media posts attacking Governor Ron DeSantis after DeSantis announced his presidential campaign. One email accused DeSantis of plagiarizing Trump's "Great American Comeback" slogan. However, "Make America Great Again" has been used in politics for decades, including by Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton. Trump should know better than to accuse someone of plagiarizing a slogan because he was accused of doing the same thing during his first presidential campaign.

Fox News: Russia resorts to massive Soviet-era bombs as Ukrainian air defenses prove a match for missiles, drones
Russian forces are using Soviet-era bombs to circumvent Ukrainian air defenses that have proven successful against long-range missiles and drones. The low-tech explosives easily evade modern air defense systems such as the US-made Patriot missile systems, and Russia's retrofitted bombs boast both wings and navigation systems to enhance range and lethality. Ukraine claims the only way to tackle these bombs is to target the planes that drop them, as there's no way to counter the bombs themselves. These low-tech bombs have prompted Ukraine's demand for high-tech fighter jets, such as the F-16, from the US and other Western allies to maintain defense against long-range attacks.
Euromaidan Press: Finland to send additional USD 116 million in military aid to Ukraine

The Epoch Times: Canada's TV Broadcasting Industry Operating at Net Loss, Sinking Deeper: Stats Can
Canada's television broadcasting industry suffers net financial loss of over $350 million after taxes in 2022, over double the loss from the previous year, due to cord-cutting and audiences fragmenting. To counterbalance losses, broadcasters like Corus, Bell, and Rogers increase revenue by generating income from phone, internet, and free ad-supported streaming TV. Despite the drop in profitability, the industry's staffing has increased, with almost $500 million spent on salaries, and the government providing over $4 million in grants in 2021.
The Epoch Times: Keynesians Still Rule the Fed
Former Federal Reserve head Ben Bernanke has co-authored a paper with Olivier Blanchard that suggests the inflation that has hit the 2020 dollar has been caused by tight labour markets. However, critics of the paper argue that it fails to mention monetary policy and instead purports the Keynesian theory that claims a weakened labour market would reduce inflation. The paper blames other supply chain issues for inflation while only briefly mentioning easing monetary policy. The authors of the paper have been criticised for using outdated theories to absolve themselves of responsibility while implementing sadistic policies that reduce the quality of life for Americans.
The Epoch Times: Debt Ceiling Impasse Shakes Financial Markets in Canada, Resolution Expected
As U.S. politicians scramble for a deal to keep the government from defaulting on its debt, Canada is also feeling the pressure from tighter financial conditions caused by the impasse. If they do not reach an agreement on the debt ceiling, the impacts could lead to a recession in both the U.S. and Canada, which would affect bond yields, currencies, and stocks. However, many expect a rebound if a resolution is found before the X-date in early June. Robert Dias, founder of Acorn Macro Consulting, says the debt ceiling is a "non-issue" as it has been raised for both political parties in power.
The debt ceiling crisis highlights the issue of keeping debt at sustainable levels as government interest expenses rise across advanced economies. The U.S. situation is unique, but it is a reminder for governments to keep an eye on deficits and create plans for cutting spending. Canada's projected deficit-to-GDP ratio is below 1% in the next couple of years, and it is in better fiscal shape than the U.S. However, large deficits without cut-spending plans could lead to credit rating agencies lowering ratings on federal debt, subsequently raising borrowing costs for governments.

The Epoch Times: UK Records First Death by 'Zombie' Drug
A British man, Karl Warburton, has become the first recorded death caused by the illegal drug, xylazine, in the UK. Xylazine is a veterinary tranquilizer that is used on large animals and, when injected, can lower heart and breathing rates and cause patches of rotting flesh. Warburton's death has prompted a panel of experts to call for drug screenings to be updated to include xylazine, which is believed to be widely available in the UK. Senator Chuck Schumer has called the drug a "deadly, skin-rotting zombie drug", and its prevalence in the US has increased 20-fold between 2015 and 2020. The drug is thought to be entering the US through Mexican drug cartels, and many experts say that it poses a significant threat to public health and safety.
Daily Wire: ‘It Will Never Stay Contained’: Matt Walsh Predicts Canada’s Assisted Suicide Regime Will Soon Come To America
Assisted suicide is gaining cultural acceptance in Canada, with requirements to seek it being relaxed. The practice is currently available only for adults with severe medical conditions, but will soon also be available for people with mental illness. Canadian parliamentary committees have also recommended allowing “mature minors” to seek assisted suicide without parental consent. Conservative commentator Matt Walsh warns that assisted suicide is “a war on human life,” and that Canada’s increasingly irreligious culture seeks “god-like” powers to “decide who dies and when they die.” With the cultural normalization of assisted suicide in Canada, Walsh warns that similar legislation in the U.S. could lead to a similarly slippery slope.
