Breitbart: Poll: 63 Percent Believe Trump-Russia Smear Was ‘Hit Job,’
A Rasmussen poll shows that two-thirds of voters believe the investigation into allegations of collusion between Trump's campaign and Russia was a political "hit job," with many wanting FBI officials involved to be criminally prosecuted. Special Counsel John Durham's report found that the FBI should never have launched the inquiry, and criticized top leaders for shutting down criminal investigations into Hillary and Bill Clinton. Rasmussen polled 1,013 U.S. likely voters between May 21 and May 23, with a margin of error of ±3 percentage points.

Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. is excited to join Twitter CEO Elon Musk on the platform, following in the footsteps of Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis.

It is unclear if Kennedy and Musk will appear together in a similar format, but Musk tweeted that "all Presidential candidates are most welcome" on Twitter.
Breitbart: Biden Admin's $40m ‘Anti-Terrorism’ Program Targets Breitbart News
The Biden Administration used a DHS anti-terrorism grant program to target conservative organizations and media, including Breitbart News. The TVTP program was established to combat Al Qaeda, but was expanded to encompass several “media literacy and online critical thinking initiatives” under Biden. A University of Dayton training program funded by the grant accused conservative organizations of turning Americans into violent neo-Nazis. The program also featured lectures by a self-proclaimed member of Antifa who endorses committing illegal acts. The Republican majority in Congress has established the Committee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government to investigate and propose solutions.
Taxpayer money, funneled through a DHS program to fight Al Qaeda, ended up funding seminars that pushed censorship and financial blacklisting of conservatives. The Biden administration is using the federal government to target domestic political opponents. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) is working to cut funding to organizations that censor conservatives, including NewsGuard and the Global Disinformation Index (GDI). The Republican majority in Congress has established the Committee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government to investigate and propose solutions. Allum Bokhari is the senior technology correspondent at Breitbart News.
The American Spectator: The Case for Ron DeSantis
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is launching his 2024 presidential campaign and is the top Republican contender to challenge former President Donald Trump. DeSantis is known for his leadership during the COVID-19 pandemic and his fight against woke ideology, particularly in education and corporate America. He has transformed Florida into a red state and secured a voter registration advantage for an entire generation or two. The 2024 Republican primary is expected to be a battle between DeSantis' disciplined conservatism and the larger-than-life persona of Trump.
Townhall: Iran's Mullahs on Killing Spree
Iran's appointment of Ambassador Ali Bahreini as chair of the UN Human Rights Council Social Forum has been met with criticism due to the country's reputation as a leading violator of human rights. Within the past three weeks alone, the regime has reportedly executed at least 92 prisoners, while dozens more on death row are being moved to solitary cells in preparation for execution. UN Special Rapporteur on Iran Javaid Rehman has called for an international fact-finding mission to investigate the reported cases of murder, imprisonment, torture, and persecution in the country.
The leaked Iranian foreign ministry files, obtained by members of the Mojahedin-e Khalq (MEK) opposition movement, reveal how the regime has used its embassies as terror cells and ambassadors as terrorists. One example is the registered diplomat who was arrested in Europe for passing a bomb, which was professionally prepared in Tehran and flown to Europe in his diplomatic pouch, to three co-conspirators for use at an opposition rally in Paris. The files also reveal that the regime has taken a Belgian charity worker hostage in Iran, accusing him of spying and sentencing him to 40 years imprisonment and 74 lashes in an attempt to negotiate a prisoner exchange with Belgium.

The American Spectator: Five Quick Things: Are Democrats the Gay-Porn-For-Kids Party?
The American Spectator editor spoke about the rise of evil in society, with a particular political party embracing vice, degeneracy, and moral turpitude. Recent controversies over graphic sexual materials in public and school libraries are an example of this trend. Pornography is being injected into these libraries, and the left is denying it, pushing gaslighting, and insisting that gay porn is not really porn and children should be exposed to it before anything else. In Louisiana, a bill that would ban pediatric sex changes and the chemical castration of children in the state was controversially voted against by a Senate committee, including a Republican chairman's vote with the four Democrats against it. A discharge petition will introduce the bill to the Senate floor, and an amendment by HB 648 ensures accountability. Target continues to play into woke culture, transing its kids' department in time for Pride Month, punishing its stock, which perhaps benefits mom-and-pop retail. Finally, From is now streaming on MGM+, a show with a similar premise to Lost but with well-developed characters and more mystery than horror.
The Epoch Times: Most Major Retailers Are Carrying LGBT, Pride Merchandise for Children
North Face has received criticism from some shoppers for its “Summer of Pride” campaign, featuring a drag queen named Pattie Gonia. Alongside an excessive amount of makeup and a poofy wig, Gonia sports a mustache and describes himself as a “real life homosexual.” The campaign, featuring a video in which Gonia walks provocatively, includes clips of children, teens and nature and urges potential customers to “Come Out” and “Nature With Us”. The video includes a little girl wearing a rainbow-colored North Face jacket. However, the store has received criticism for marketing radicalism, with customers from Pennsylvania suggesting the campaign is “infuriating and insulting,” while others have accused North Face of being “yet another woke company” peddling “swift grift.”
Retail giant Walmart has also faced criticism for its “breathable” breast binder for “trans, lesbian and tomboys,” as well as other stores including Kohls, Macy’s and Old Navy who have been selling pride merchandise for children and toddlers. Walmart has faced calls for a boycott under the hashtag . This comes after Target was forced to remove some of its pride merchandise from stores in conservative communities, with some suggesting that stores are promoting LGBT merchandise to boost their environmental, social and governance scores for stakeholders like BlackRock, the largest asset manager in the world.

Townhall: The Not So Unique Hungarian Schizophrenia
Hungary's domestic and foreign policies under Prime Minister Viktor Orban have been marked by incompetence, corruption, and war rhetoric against imagined enemies. Orban has waged wars against NATO, the EU, illegal immigrants, NGOs, COVID-19, and now Ukraine. His regime has rejected interference in Hungary's affairs despite accusations of lack of rule of law and embezzlement of European monies. Hungary's pathetically cretin foreign minister plays the eternal victimhood card by crying about Hungary's tragic history, which leads to uncertainty about the regime's future policies. The regime's domestic and foreign policies stem from the immoral Communist beliefs of FIDESZ leaders, who yearn for the old Soviet Union and current Russia while feeling out of place in the developed Western world. This Hungarian schizophrenia should serve as a warning to failed and failing states who have been paralyzed by indecision between the West and China and Russia, leading to a vacuum of lies, corruption, and tyranny. The United States and its allies must rethink their policies toward the developing world by recognizing failure is not an option, unity of purpose is a must, and strategic ambiguity is a political smudging with dangerous limitations. The world must remember that naming things what they really are is the path to clear-sightedness and that weaponization of lies leads to catastrophes.

Townhall: Surprise: Debt Conversation Brings More Pointless 'Tax-the-Rich' Talk
Democrats blame low taxes and the rich not paying their fair share for the national debt being nearly as high as the national GDP. However, their solutions of raising taxes on the rich would be both unfair and ineffective. The real issue is increased government spending, and the only way to reduce the deficit is through spending restraints rather than tax increases.

The Epoch Times: Dedicated US-Australia Command Needed to Streamline Cooperation: Colonel
A U.S. military command should be established in Australia to overcome cultural differences between the allies, says U.S. Army Colonel Alan W. Throop. Respondents to Throop's report have admitted Americans typically don't have an appreciation for the size or scale of the Australian military and it was easy to forget to factor in the country's own sovereignty. Throop recommended additional training and visits to Australia for U.S. personnel. Defence expert Michael Shoebridge said it was a product of history, not design, to connect lots of different parts of each other’s defence institutions. U.S. Forces Australia would synchronize, track, and have overall visibility of Department of Defense efforts to provide local direction and the best military advice to U.S. Embassy in Canberra, to the Australian defence establishment, and then back to U.S.-based seniors and headquarters.
