The New American: Pushback Against Red Flag Laws Continues to Grow - The New American
Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer signed into law red flag legislation, which allows family members, law enforcement officials, mental health “professionals,” roommates, and even former dating partners to petition a court to have firearms removed from the targeted victim without a trial or conviction. The law turns the Fourth Amendment on its head, and pushback against it continues to grow .
Resistance is growing against red flag laws, with Constitutional sheriffs in Michigan declaring they won’t enforce the law once it is in force. Republican lawmakers in Tennessee are also opposing the push for a special session by the state’s Republican governor to rush the bill. Meanwhile in New York, the rush to target innocents has reached a fever pitch, issuing over 10,000 extreme risk protection orders at an annual rate. The pushback against such egregious assaults on precious liberties needs to be made stronger .

PJ Media: MAGIC! Presto-Chango, See Which Democrat Attack Transforms Into 'Republicans Pounce!'
House Republicans are pushing back against the left's war on gas stoves and furnaces, as local Democrats in various cities are banning their use in new construction. NY has banned them in most new buildings statewide starting in 2026, which could increase utility bills for homeowners. Democrats may require existing homes switch to all-electric before existing owners sell them. Congressman Cori Bush played the race card against gas stoves this week, claiming they are harming black people more than white people. Politico dismisses concerns as a GOP "culture war" inflaming Neanderthal passions against Democrats trying to prevent gas stoves from harming black children.
Washington Free Beacon: Target Loses $9B Amid Controversy Over LGBT Children’s Clothes
Target faces backlash and boycotts from conservative consumers after releasing its "Pride" collection, including "tuck-friendly" swimsuits for girls to hide male genitalia and merchandise from the LGBTQ brand Abprallen. The collection, designed by a Satanist, has led to a 12% drop in Target's stocks, worth $9 billion since last week. Target has since removed the Abprallen items and backtracked on its marketing plan. The company is adjusting its marketing plans for the safety of its employees considering the current volatile circumstances. "Given these volatile circumstances", they said. It thanked its 'frontline teams and the LGBTQ community' for the 'care shown to each other' after the backlash. The need for continued care arises as the team reflects on the anniversary of George Floyd's death. Rep. Nancy Mace (R., S.C.) said, "Target: hold my beer" when criticizing the company.
Newsbusters: Rep. Jim Jordan: DHS Weaponizing Tax Dollars Is 'Really Scary,’ But 'Frankly Consistent’
The Department of Homeland Security funded anti-terrorism efforts targeting Americans, including groups like Heritage Foundation, Fox News, and the RNC, likening them to Nazis. This represents the weaponization of federal government and is consistent with previous reports of government corruption. Rep. Jim Jordan called it "really scary."
The DHS-funded PREVENTS-OH program produced a so-called “pyramid of far-right radicalization,” which included in the pyramid groups like Fox News and Christian Broadcasting Network and then moved to Tea Party patriots, PragerU, Breitbart, and the American Conservative Union. This has sparked concerns about the suppression of conservative groups. MRC Founder Brent Bozell slammed DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas for taking government funding meant to find terrorists and going after Fox News and other conservative groups.

The Blaze: MacIntyre: Target blames extremism to avoid Bud Light’s fate
Target has sparked controversy ahead of Pride Month by featuring LGBTQ-themed merchandise, including "tuck-friendly" swimwear, in its stores. The backlash has led to the retailer announcing that it will reduce its Pride displays and move them to the back of the store, citing "threats impacting our team members' sense of safety and well-being." Target has blamed the move on safety concerns, but critics have accused the company of kowtowing to conservative pressure.
Conservatives have boycotted companies in the past, with little success, but Bud Light's attempt to promote LGBTQ propaganda led to a sustained backlash that tanked profits. Target has taken notice and is attempting to avoid a similar situation. The company's new strategy involves scaling back the excesses of Pride displays in order to avoid a protracted battle with its core customer base, while still pandering to the LGBTQ community and woke investors. The Biden administration is likely to use the vague specter of "violent backlash" to crack down on opposition to the LGBTQification of cultural spaces, linking any resistance to "white nationalism" or "Christian nationalism."

The Blaze: Target BOYCOTT? Why Target's LGBT items make Glenn LOSE HIS MIND
Target's Pride line includes children's clothing and "tuck-friendly" swimwear in women's styles, which has caused controversy online. Glenn Beck has taken issue with the line, particularly the fact that Target has partnered with a brand that sells Satanist merchandise to create it. One of the products is a pin with two axes that reads "Ready to fight for trans rights" and another is a design with a guillotine and skulls that reads "Homophobic headrest." Glenn argues that if these items had been created with "Liberal" instead of "Homophobic," there would be accusations of promoting violence.

The Epoch Times: Europe's Biggest Economy Falls Into Recession, Data Shows
Data from Germany’s federal statistical agency, Destatis, shows that the country has slipped into recession, recording two consecutive negative quarters of GDP contraction of 0.3% for Q1 2023 and 0.5% for Q4 2022, according to the standard definition of a recession based on two consecutive quarters of declining gross national product. High prices continue to be a burden, with household consumption down 1.2% and fewer car purchases, and government spending declined 4.9%. Despite this, investment rose due to good weather conditions and positive contributions from trade with robust growth regarding plastics and fabricated metal products. Energy and food prices remain high, with an inflation rate of 7.2%, above the euro area’s average. IMF predicts a contraction of 0.1% this year, although separate reports suggest that industry growth will offset stagnating household consumption and construction slump. Chancellor Olaf Scholz insists that the outlook for the economy is “very good” and that the government is taking steps to attract foreign workers and expand renewable energy production to boost the country’s economy.

Flag And Cross: Will Apple's MR Headset Be A Hit Or Flop? Munster Says This Is What Most Investors Expect
Apple is expected to unveil its $3,000 mixed-reality headset at its annual Worldwide Developers Conference on June 5. Deepwater Asset Management’s Gene Munster believes Apple is launching the headset at this event to win developers over its "best-in-class" device so that developers will jump in and build products to discover the utility of the device. The headset has the potential to account for 10% of Apple's revenue in 2030 if it turns out to be a hit. If it is a bust, it would bring in fractional revenue and have a 3%-4% negative impact on earnings.
