The Epoch Times: Sen. Woo Drafted the Citizen Petition Against Foreign Agent Registry Presented in House in April
Senator Yuen Pau Woo confirms he helped draft a citizen petition opposing a foreign influence registry, calling it a "misleading way to identify sources of foreign influence" and posing a risk to racialized communities. The petition was initiated by Li Wang and sponsored by Liberal MP Chandra Arya. While the petition has been criticized by opposition and diaspora groups for not addressing the Chinese Communist Party's influence activities in Canada, supporters argue that the legislation could stigmatize ethnic Chinese communities. Parliamentary efforts to create a foreign agent registry have been ongoing for two years, but bill S-237 has yet to receive government support.
Senator Woo’s involvement in a citizen petition opposing a foreign agent registry has sparked criticism, with Opposition and diaspora groups calling for Canada to enact such legislation to combat the Chinese Communist Party’s influence in the country. The proposed registry is aimed at authoritarian regimes and is meant to protect members of the diaspora from persecution. Woo and Conservative Sen. Victor Oh have both opposed the registry, citing concerns that it could stigmatize ethnic Chinese communities. While parliamentary efforts to create a foreign agent registry have been ongoing for two years, bill S-237 has yet to receive government support.
Red State: REPORT: Biden DHS Gave Taxpayer Grants to College Seminar Linking GOP, NRA, FOX, to Neo-Nazis
Conservative watchdog group, The Media Research Center, uncovered documents indicating that the Biden administration is using taxpayer money to target mainstream conservative groups in the US. The documents show that over $350,000 was awarded through the Department of Homeland Security's Targeted Violence and Terrorism Prevention Grant Program to a University of Dayton program called PREVENTS-OH, which equates conservatives with terrorists. Speakers at the University of Dayton’s Human Rights Center seminar compared Trump to the Khmer Rouge, and a speaker suggested that Florida Governor Ron DeSantis might envision carrying out another Holocaust. The media has labeled the Biden administration's actions as dangerous and outrageous.

The Blaze: LinkedIn claims Vivek Ramaswamy's account was 'restricted in error,' but the Republican presidential hopeful isn't buying it
LinkedIn restricted the account of GOP presidential candidate, Vivek Ramaswamy, due to the supposedly "misleading and inaccurate information" in his posts relating to Joe Biden, China, and climate change. LinkedIn offered Ramaswamy a chance to appeal their decision and continue to post in line with their terms, or regain access to his account. Ramaswamy has called LinkedIn's censorship on the matter typical of big tech trying to cover their tracks after election interference, and publicly challenged Satya Nadella to denounce the platform's censorship.
Breitbart: Exclusive: Rail Industry-Backed Ted Cruz Privately Lobbies House GOP to Tank Bipartisan 'Railway Safety Act'
Sen. Ted Cruz is privately lobbying House Republicans from Texas to oppose the Railway Safety Act, which was introduced following the disastrous train derailment caused by Norfolk Southern that left toxic chemicals spewing into the community's environment in Ohio. Cruz, a longtime beneficiary of campaign contributions from rail companies, is circulating a letter to House Republicans representing Texas that would have them publicly trash the Railway Safety Act. Norfolk Southern, which is among the nation's biggest rail companies, is deeply opposed to the bipartisan bill and has been lobbying lawmakers in Washington, DC to oppose the legislation.

Flag And Cross: Transgender Allegedly Exposed Himself to Kids and Made a Deadly Threat - Then Police Take Off the Kiddie Gloves
A video of Italian police officers roughing up a transgender woman went viral on social media, sparking outrage. However, it turns out that the individual who identifies as a woman is a Brazilian man who allegedly exposed himself and threatened to infect children with AIDS. Police were called in response to complaints, and the man was taken into custody. He then allegedly attempted to cut himself in the back of a police car with hairpins, pledged to infect everyone with AIDS, shoved an officer, and ran away before being caught again by the police. The officers are reportedly under investigation, and the mayor of Milan has placed them on leave.
The Epoch Times: 'Whole Child' Gimmick Is Health Socialism
California Governor Gavin Newsom advances a "Whole Child" health care program that seeks to close opportunity gaps by integrating children's specialty care services into Medi-Cal managed care, and providing access to early learning, before and after school care, comprehensive nutrition services, and more community schools. The government would take over everything about the child, including psychology, health, and nutrition. However, the Heritage Foundation argues that Whole Child is part of the move to push aside American families and put the government in charge of children, necessitating a full-scale school-choice program to reduce the immense power of teachers' unions and the state's socialist mentality.

Flag And Cross: Palantir Treks North Following Break Of Bull Flag: Where To Watch For The Pullback
Palantir Technologies has partnered with Ukraine for defense and reconstruction, following the Russian invasion of the country. Ark Invest has been purchasing shares in Palantir, which has surged higher but stalled briefly on Wednesday with an inside bar pattern indicating a period of consolidation and usually followed by a continuation move in the direction of the current trend. A longer-term period of consolidation is likely to drop the stock’s relative strength index back down under the 70% level and bearish traders can watch for Palantir to print a bearish reversal candlestick, while bullish traders may choose to wait for a pullback before finding an entry.

Fox News: Polish lawmakers look to investigate Russian influence in move opponents say targets ex-PM
Poland's lower house has passed a draft law establishing a state commission to investigate claims of Russian influence in the country, targeting the country's main opposition Civic Coalition leader, Donald Tusk. The opposition claims the move violates constitutional foundations and a citizen's right to face an independent court. Warsaw has already been at odds with the European Union over its policies, which the bloc says go against the principles of democracy and the rule of law. The new regulation, dubbed "Lex Tusk," is viewed as unconstitutional and designed to help the ruling party retain power even if it loses control in this autumn's parliamentary elections.
Another proposed bill by the Law and Justice party would lower the necessary quorum of the Constitutional Court to speed up its work on stalled legislation. Among the laws that have been kept at bay as a result of the court's political control are those aimed at unlocking blocked European Union funds. Critics say the laws could give Warsaw an unconstitutional tool to eliminate opponents like Tusk from Poland's political landscape. More than 35 billion euros in EU grants and loans hang in the balance as Poland spends heavily on controversial social bonuses, pensions and weapons, as well as on the war in Ukraine.

The Epoch Times: Regulator Investigates Victoria's Big Build Fraud Allegations
Fraud allegations relating to labour hire companies in Victoria's major rail projects are being investigated by the Office of the National Rail Safety Regulator. The companies face safety duties as part of Australia's Rail Safety National Law and enforcement powers could include legal proceedings and prohibition of unsafe operations. The claims of fraud include overcharging for workers who perform multiple shifts in a day and underpaid allowances to employees, with allegations of "ghost shifts" where workers are rostered but not present. Industry Minister Ben Carroll said the government was taking the issue seriously, with Premier Daniel Andrews suggesting it was an isolated incident.

The Epoch Times: California Can't Afford Newsom's Revised Spending Plan: LAO
California’s May budget revision includes spending proposals that outpace revenues, leaving the state with less than a one-in-six chance of affording its spending levels across a five-year period, according to a report by the Legislative Analyst’s Office. The discrepancy between proposals and projections has increased the state’s budget deficit to nearly $32bn, $10bn more than originally predicted. Proposed solutions to the deficit include expanded revenues and reduced spending. The report highlights the likelihood of budgetary shortfalls and the possibility of cuts to core programmes if the shortfall is not addressed.
Tax collections are expected to be 11% lower than in previous years in California, resulting in budgetary pressures as the state’s initiatives are left underfunded. Revenue collections are expected to depend largely on the future path of the economy, which is perceived to be highly uncertain. The report highlights the possibility of an economic downturn and the risk of future revenue declines, while highlighting that traditional economic indicators are conflicting in their assessment of the economic future. The report recommends taking appropriate countermeasures to mitigate risks and minimise the potential impact of the economic downturn on the state.

Fox News: MA diocese settles with ex-altar boy who accused long-deceased bishop of rape
The Diocese of Springfield has settled with a former altar boy, known only as "John Doe" in court papers, who claimed he was sexually abused by deceased Bishop Christopher Weldon in the 1960s. The diocese denied the allegations last year, but an apology has now been issued by Bishop William Byrne after John Doe's claims were deemed credible. The allegations, which included abuse by two other clergymen, formed part of a cover-up by the church, according to the lawsuit. The terms of the settlement have not been made public.

Breitbart: German Police Investigating Ex-Pink Floyd Frontman Roger Waters for Wearing Nazi-Like Attire at Berlin Show
Rock star Roger Waters is being investigated by German authorities for wearing Nazi-like imagery on stage during a concert in Berlin. The rocker wore a long black leather coat with a red armband with two hammers fashioned into an 'X', black gloves, and a black suit and tie while carrying a machine gun replica. Other stage decorations included an inflated pig bearing the Nazi-inspired logo, a Star of David, and banners evoking the Third Reich-styled imagery. Waters has faced antisemitism accusations over his attacks on Israel, and criticism was also sparked by his tributes to people he claims were killed by governments, including American George Floyd and Iranian protester Mahsa Amini.

The Federalist Papers: NFL Team May Need to Change Name After Feds Send a Notice to Ownership
The Washington NFL team, now called the Commanders, has struggled to maintain a consistent winning record since its last Super Bowl win in 1991. The team's owner, Dan Snyder, has also been embroiled in various off-field controversies, including accusations of financial violations and exploiting the team's cheerleaders. Additionally, the Commanders' new name appears to have hit a stumbling block, as the US Patent and Trademark Office has denied its trademark due to potential confusion with other "Commanders" trademarks. This has led to speculation that the team may need to undergo yet another rebranding effort.

The Epoch Times: California Unlikely to Run Short of Electricity This Summer Thanks to Storms, New Power Sources
California is unlikely to face blackouts this summer due to increased power storage and reservoir levels that allow hydroelectric power plants to continue operating. The state faced a strain in its electrical grid in 2020, prompting rolling power outages, but officials have since encouraged energy conservation and invested in emergency generators and the purchase of back-up diesel power. Moreover, wind, solar, and battery storage will add a further 8,594 megawatts of power to the grid by 1 September 2023, and Lake Oroville is poised to emerge from 2021's low levels, meaning hydroelectric power plants can increase supply. While officials warn wild fires or weather could still trigger energy conservation measures, the state is relatively comfortable with its position.
Breitbart: 'The View' Host Joy Behar Describes AR-15 as 'The Automatic Rifle That Kills a Bunch of Children'
Joy Behar expressed confusion over Gov. Chris Sununu's refusal to ban the AR-15 rifle, which she referred to as an automatic rifle used in school shootings. Sununu explained that banning a specific gun wouldn't stop attackers. He also noted that Democrats had control of the House, Senate, and Presidency for two years and did nothing to ban the AR-15. The claims made by Behar and others that the AR-15 is an automatic weapon is false.
