Washington Free Beacon: DeSantis Raises Huge Sum in First 24 Hours, Puts Biden to Shame
Republican Ron DeSantis raised $8.2 million in the first 24 hours of his campaign, beating Joe Biden's 2019 fundraising and solidifying his position as Donald Trump's leading alternative in the Republican primary. The funds raised include both primary and general election funds, with some earmarked for the latter. DeSantis made the announcement following a spat with the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.
Forbes: Judge Pauses South Carolina’s 6-Week Abortion Ban—For Now
A South Carolina Judge halted the state's newly-enacted six-week ban on most abortions. The ruling by Clifton Newman comes just one day after Gov. Henry McMaster (R) signed the bill into law.
The Economist: This week’s covers
The Economist's covers this week featured Donald Trump's chances of winning the presidency again, highlighting his strong lead over Republican rivals, including Ron DeSantis. The magazine's designers had various ideas for illustrations, including depicting Trump as a "Jack-in-the-box" or "rocket man," but settled on a humorous headline instead, hinting that moderates and liberals would continue to be frightened by the prospect of Trump's return to power. In Britain, the magazine asked how to fix the NHS, experimenting with metaphors such as the NHS logo on a drip, Aneurin Bevan shedding a tear, and an exhausted nurse after a long shift. One designer even added a gun to evoke a health service under threat, but the magazine ultimately settled on a picture of an ambulance receiving an intravenous infusion.
National Review: The Corner: Why the Crowding of the Republican Field Won’t Ultimately Change The 2024 Race
The crowded Republican field for the 2024 presidential nomination benefits Trump due to his loyal base. DeSantis will need to build his own base of supporters to beat Trump, regardless of the number of candidates in the field. Simply clearing the field does not guarantee victory against Trump's rock-solid support base.
The Federalist: TX Coffee Shop Closes After Backlash Over All-Ages Drag, Plan B
Tumbleweed and Sage Coffeehouse, a Texas coffee shop that handed out Plan B to minors and hosted sexually explicit events, is closing its doors due to community backlash and decreasing business opportunities. The coffeehouse faced criticism from pro-life groups and conservative residents for its left-leaning political advocacy and partnerships with pro-abortion groups. Despite losing out on a second location reportedly due to its pro-abortion affiliation, the shop continued to hold politically charged rallies and sexually explicit events, such as a “Birds and Bees PJ Party”.
Flag And Cross: Government Reparations Task Force Leader Fired After Being Arrested at City Hall
George Williams, project coordinator for Boston's Task Force on Reparations, was arrested inside City Hall and charged with trespassing and resisting arrest. Williams had been causing problems inside City Hall for three weeks and allegedly lunged at an officer responding to the call. Williams later allegedly shoved a dustpan into an officer’s chest and swept debris onto his shoes. Williams was cooperative following his arrest, but was fired from his position and his contract was terminated. Williams' LinkedIn page lists him as a campaign alum for “Squad” Massachusetts Rep. Ayanna Pressley.
Newsbusters: Bozell BLASTS DHS Weaponization in Fiery Levin Interview: ‘They’re Going to Destroy Christians’
The Media Research Center President exposed DHS targeting Christians, conservatives and Republicans with an anti-terrorism program. MRC Free Speech America uncovered damning evidence that DHS awarded taxpayer-funded grants to fringe groups. The explosive report found that over half of America is being aligned with the values of Nazism, including The Heritage Foundation, Turning Point USA, and others. The Targeted Violence & Terrorism Prevention Grant Program (TVTP) was initiated by the Obama administration and then was hijacked by President Biden and DHS Secretary Mayorkas. The program is being used in "full force" to target Americans through a so-called "media literacy" program. Conservatives are under attack and people are demanding that Big Tech be held accountable.
National Review: The Corner: DeSantis’s January 6 Pardons Comments Are Being Wildly Misinterpreted
The Washington Post criticized Governor Ron DeSantis for potentially pardoning January 6 rioters. However, DeSantis wants to investigate whether the FBI and Justice Department deliberately misled courts that led to unjust verdicts, which would justify the president's absolute pardon power. The Post evaluates DeSantis' remarks in light of former President Trump's comments about the riots, but DeSantis has distanced himself from Trump and implied Trump's legal handicaps. Ultimately, DeSantis's politics are an assault on Trump's viability as a candidate, but the Post's self-righteousness won't achieve its goal.
Fox News: Serbians converge in country's capitol for pro-government rally following mass shootings
Thousands of supporters of Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic gathered in Belgrade for a rally promoting “unity and hope” amid pressure from an opposition movement calling for Vucic’s ouster and the withdrawal of broadcasting licenses for two pro-Vucic TV stations. Vucic’s critics claim his regime has created an atmosphere of hopelessness and division that led to this month’s mass school shootings that resulted in 18 fatalities. At the Friday rally, Vucic demanded an “urgent” movement of troops to the border with Kosovo, which declared independence from Serbia in 2008. Tensions spiked in northern Kosovo on the same day, where ethnic Serbs blasted a hole and burned down a barricade on the main bridge between the two nations.

Euromaidan Press: Russo-Ukrainian War. Day 457: Russia to deploy tactical nuclear weapons to Belarus
Russia continues its military aggression against Ukraine, with 55 air strikes and four missile strikes on May 25 alone. The adversary is focusing its efforts on several axes, including Kup’yans’k, Lyman, Bakhmut, Avdiivka, and Mar’inka. Additionally, Russia and Belarus have signed agreements advancing the preparation for the deployment of Russian tactical nuclear weapons to Belarus.
Foreign Policy: The Last Big Weapon on Ukraine’s Wish List
Congress is urging the Biden administration to send long-range weapons to Ukraine, including the Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS), which can hit Russian targets nearly 200 miles away. Officials believe the deliveries of ATACMS to Ukraine could be decisive in putting Russian troops, ships, and bases on occupied Ukrainian soil at risk. Some members of Congress and U.S. officials think the ATACMS will help Ukraine degrade or destroy Russian weapons of war used to murder civilians and defenders. Russia has stepped up rocket attacks on civilian targets farther away from the front lines, but the Biden administration has offered a number of reasons for not sending long-range weapons to Ukraine.

Fox News: Pentagon will train Ukrainians to fly F-16 jets, but warns 'there are no magic weapons'
The US military will train Ukraine in operating F-16 fighter jets with the support of other NATO members. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin confirmed that the initiative will involve not only flying and fighting but also maintaining the aircraft against Russia's thousand fourth and fifth-generation fighters. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's "fighter jet coalition" aims to marshal resources from allies and build out their air force capabilities. The UK, which will provide training for Ukrainian pilots, said it will not supply aircraft for battle.

National Review: The Corner: Indian Diesel Is Traded on a Global Market
India's continued purchase of Russian crude oil at significant discount due to Western sanctions has upset the EU, who argues that Indian refiners are selling diesel to Europe. However, India, a poor country with massive energy needs, claims that refining crude oil transforms the oil into a different product entirely, making it "unambiguously Indian" according to global trade rules. The share of Indian imports from OPEC is at an all-time low as a result of its increased imports from Russia, but it still imports plenty from the Middle East. Despite sanctions, energy is still traded on a global market.
The Epoch Times: How Is Inflation Measured? Understanding the Consumer Price Index
Inflation refers to an overall increase in the price of goods and services within the economy. The most well-known measure of inflation is the Consumer Price Index (CPI), but there are other measures, such as the Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) price index and core inflation. Each index uses different methods to capture inflation's impact on different parts of the economy and population groups. However, no measure of inflation is entirely accurate, and focusing solely on the CPI does not give us the whole picture.

Midwest Living: Frank Lloyd Wright-Designed Buildings You Can Tour in the Midwest
Frank Lloyd Wright's legacy includes around 500 structures, many of which still stand in the Midwest. While his signature architectural styles can be marveled at on tours of former residences and commercial buildings, there are also glimpses into Wright's personal life, including stories of murder, affairs and a larger-than-life ego. Oak Park Home and Studio in Illinois offers tours of Wright's 1889 home, while Taliesin in Spring Green, Wisconsin reflects the drama of Wright's life with the remaining estate showing his Prairie style of architecture.

The Blaze: Kickstarter suspends illustrated novel ‘defying transgenderism’ after project was fully funded
Kickstarter has cancelled Hans G. Schantz's "The Wise Heart" novel, which tells the story of a biology teacher who goes to jail for "defying transgenderism" after a media circus. Backers of the campaign will not be charged for their pledges. The project had $3,000 before the crowdfunding site claimed the project's content violated the rules. Schantz accused the site of failing to live up to its own "inclusivity" standards, stating that Kickstarter "took unilateral action without allowing me any input" and suggested that "creators would be wise to deal with platforms more worthy of their trust".

A 1906 commercial Luger with an Ideal stock/leather holster combo, produced by the Ideal company, is the featured firearm in today's Photo of the Day. The telescoping stock/leather holster combo was patented in 1901 and made for many guns, but was not a commercial success.
The Epoch Times: The Founders and the Constitution, Part 11: George Mason
George Mason helped construct the US Constitution at the Constitutional Convention, but opposed ratifying it. He was born in Virginia in 1725, and was tutored in Latin by legal scholar John Mercer. He was a private man and didn't desire public office, but agreed to serve in Virginia's House of Burgesses and in some of the varied assemblies that governed during the Revolution. Mason was a "conditional federalist," meaning he supported the Constitution if certain conditions were met, but he feared a federal government that was too aristocratic, and sought more democratic change. He proposed enlarging the House of Representatives, and sought a Bill of Rights to protect individual liberties and the reserved authority of the states.

The Epoch Times: The Hidden System That Protects the Brain, Strengthens Immunity, and Keeps Us Balanced
The endocannabinoid system (ECS) is a vital layer of our physiology that was only discovered in the 1990s. It has a major role in homeostasis, immunity, and neurodegenerative disease, hence, a keen eye toward lifestyle and certain supplements can help maintain this system. The ECS is made up of cannabinoids including THC (psychoactive) and CBD (non-psychoactive), receptors and enzymes, and plays a powerful role in our quality of life by helping our bodies adjust toward homeostasis.
Dr. Christina Campbell identifies chronic stress, systemic inflammation, lack of sunlight, a disrupted circadian rhythm, and a poor Omega-6 to Omega-3 ratio as challenges to the proper functioning of the ECS. Endocannabinoids are derived from omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids and must be in proper balance for the ECS to function properly. Supplementation with phytocannabinoids like CBD and PEA (palmitoylethanolamide) can boost the ECS, but the ideal option is a full-spectrum supplement of all components of the plant. Finally, scientists found that application of CBD can help protect the brain from trauma by increasing blood flow to the brain. THC has also shown the potential to benefit the brain, as it reversed the age-related decline in cognitive ability in mice.

Fox News: NASCAR opens investigation into Bubba Wallace radio hack at All-Star race
An investigation into an incident involving Bubba Wallace's racing team's radio being hacked during last weekend’s All-Star race is underway, after someone shouted a derogatory statement. NASCAR is probing the hack to see how it was done and avoid similar situations from happening in the future.
Wallace's second-place finish was overshadowed by controversy, including the radio hack, boos during his introduction earlier in the weekend, and a stir on social media after he appeared to raise his middle finger during a post-race interview. NASCAR did not discipline Wallace after finding that he was gesturing toward a friend. He is having a good season and is projected to make the playoffs if he continues his pace up.

Flag And Cross: Steel Was Already In Use In Parts Of Europe During Bronze Age: Study
New research reveals that steel was in use during Europe’s Bronze Age. Scientists studying stone carvings on stelae in Portugal discovered that the tools used to carve the stone could only have been made from tempered steel. Experiments proved that only such tools could work the stone. The discovery suggests that people living in the region at the end of the Bronze Age could temper steel, contrary to expectations that the material was only widely available in Europe under the Roman Empire.
