Vought, former director of the Office of Management and Budget, said he was “amazed at how bad the parameters of the deal are that are emerging,” suggesting that negotiators were failing to enact significant spending cuts.

Spectator USA: The joy of missing out
The coronation of King Charles is only inviting a thousand people, causing many dukes, earls, A-list celebs, actors, and society figures to be snubbed. Prince William is snubbing his brother Harry, who is also snubbing everyone. President Biden is snubbing Britain while Charles is snubbing family members, some grandchildren, and Lady Pamela Hicks. Parties are being organized as well, but those truly posh would not complain about not being invited. In their homes, dead flies are found in the corners of windowsills, and every room is stacked with books no one wants to read. Dusting is too bourgeois for them.
Red State: Seattle Firefighters Must Learn Critical Race Theory Before Promotion to Top Job
Seattle firefighters seeking promotion to fire lieutenant must study a curriculum promoting far-left, progressive ideals. The human resources department tests candidates on books promoting Critical Race Theory, transgender ideology, and social justice.

Fox News: Russia allegedly views Pope Francis' peace initiative positively, no immediate plans for Moscow mission
Russia has acknowledged the Holy See's desire to promote peace in Ukraine through Pope Francis' peace initiative, though stressed there are no immediate plans for a Vatican mission to Moscow. The Vatican has appointed veteran peace mediator, Cardinal Matteo Zuppi, as its envoy in the effort to ease tensions and contribute to peace in the region, though there have been no practical steps taken to organise a trip to Moscow. Zuppi likened the Vatican's mission to the successful peace talks he mediated in Mozambique in the 1990s. The Pope announced the peace mission after meeting with an envoy of the Russian Orthodox Church in Hungary last month.

Fox News: California likely won’t run out of electricity this summer thanks to recent winter storms
California's grid struggles during heat waves and occasional blackouts have forced officials to encourage energy conservation and the use of gas-powered generators to avoid these blackouts. However, California's electrical grid this summer is unlikely to experience any shortfalls after filling its reservoirs in winter storms enough to restart its hydroelectric power plants. California regulators predict no shortages due to a big increase in power storage and additional power from wind, solar, and battery storage being made available by September 1.

Fox News: Memorial Day by the numbers: Facts about the solemn American holiday
Memorial Day is observed in the U.S on Monday, May 29. It started on May 5, 1868, and approximately 620,000 American troops had died in the Civil War three years prior. Waterloo, New York, is known as the "birthplace of Memorial Day," and the holiday became a floating federal holiday on Jan. 1, 1971, after the Uniform Monday Holiday Act went into effect. There have been approximately 651,031 fallen troops since 1775, and 1.3 million active-duty service members make up the US armed forces. Arlington Cemetery receives over 135,000 Memorial Day visitors, and US Americans will travel over the holiday weekend. Finally, national meat sales will reach $1.6 billion during Memorial Day celebrations and gatherings this year.
Field & Stream: Rifle Cartridge Technology Hasn't Changed in Ages. It's Time for Something New
The new 6.8×51 Common Cartridge is a powerful bullet intended for dual use in the US Army's new infantry rifle, the XM5, and in its new squad automatic weapon, the XM250. Though new for the Army, a 6.8mm bullet is of 1925 vintage. The Common Cartridge fires a 140-grain bullet at 3,000 fps from a 16-inch barrel, achieving its velocity by cranking up the pressure to 80,000 psi, which is far more powerful than the 5.56 NATO. The head of the Common Cartridge case is made of steel and screwed into the brass case; an aluminum lock washer holds it in place.
The US Navy's rail gun is a linear motor device that operates on electromagnetic force, using 25 megawatts, or the output of an entire civilian power plant, for one second to fire a projectile at a velocity of 8,695 fps, with a range of 110 miles, and enough kinetic energy to sink a ship when it hits. While the rail gun was abandoned in 2019 after 15 years of development and $500 million spent, the uncertain future may still hold new developments in gun and ammunition technology that could replace traditional firearms.

Fox News: Julia Louis-Dreyfus reflects on 'grief' when 'Seinfeld' ended
Julia Louis-Dreyfus recalls the end of "Seinfeld" and the grief she felt for the show's final close, but is proud that it continues to resonate with audiences of all ages. The actress says that the dynamic between her co-stars was not just limited to the screen and that they all loved each other very much. Louis-Dreyfus went on to star in "The New Adventures of Old Christine" and "Veep" after the show ended, continuing her acting career, and winning multiple Emmy and SAG awards. She defended the so-called "Seinfeld curse," calling it ridiculous and invented by the media.
Fox News: 'Peter Rabbit' children's book series under attack as 'problematic': 'Owe a debt' to African slave folk tales
Beatrix Potter's famous children's tales such as "The Tale of Peter Rabbit" are being accused of being taken from African slave tales. Dr. Emily Zobel Marshall, an expert in Postcolonial theory, alleges that Potter's stories owe a debt to the "Brer Rabbit" stories that were originally African tales. Marshall argues that the Potter stories, widely viewed as part of British culture, are actually about "resistance and survival tactics of the plantation life of enslaved people in the Americas."
Academics are targeting children's books series, including Beatrix Potter's stories and Roald Dahl's work, for potentially problematic material. Dahl's books have recently been rewritten, with some character descriptions altered and language made gender-neutral. Meanwhile, Dr. Emily Zobel Marshall has claimed that Potter borrowed heavily from the "Brer Rabbit" stories, which are of African origin. Dr. Marshall's allegations have caused a stir in the literary world, with many questioning the importance of cultural borrowing and whether academic analysis will impact children's literature.

Fox News: 2 more Oath Keeper members set to be sentenced following Stewart Rhodes sentencing
Two Oath Keepers members will be sentenced for their roles in the Jan. 6 Capitol attack following the group's founder being sentenced to 18 years in prison for seditious conspiracy. Army veterans Jessica Watkins and Kenneth Harrelson were acquitted of seditious conspiracy but convicted of obstructing Congress, with Watkins set to receive an 18-year prison sentence and Harrelson a 15-year sentence. The group marched in military-style formations during the attack on the Capitol alongside other Oath Keepers members.
The sentences for the Oath Keepers members could serve as a guide for prosecutors in a separate case against Proud Boys leaders who were convicted of seditious conspiracy. The longest sentence in over 1,000 Capitol riot cases prior to this week's sentences was 14 years and two months. U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta described the Oath Keepers' actions as "terrorism" and warned that founder Stewart Rhodes was a continued threat to the United States.

The Great Lakes Fisherman: Using the Mayfly Hatch to Catch More Spring Walleye
Mayflies may be viewed as a nuisance by conventional anglers, but their subsurface impact on walleye fishing is substantial. Mayflies refer to any insect in the Ephemeroptera family and have a short life. The nymph stage of their life can last over a year and occurs in soft bottom areas where they burrow themselves in sand and silt. During mid-May, the nymphs begin to emerge and head for safety in nearby trees and grasses while they await their final transformation. Mayfly nymphs begin to emerge when water temperatures reach roughly 46 degrees. Once their mission has been accomplished, male mayflies happily meet their end and leave the females to deposit their eggs and slowly meet the same fate.
During the peak mayfly lull, it's often best to abandon areas and head to locations where fish will be more appreciative of what you have to offer. One of the best places to find these more grateful fish is on the offshore humps. Though typically reserved for summertime, these deep pieces of structure will host plenty of large female fish during late spring before they begin their descent. If fishing is really tough, use brighter colours on your jigs to stand out. Mayflies provide a seemingly unlimited amount of food for scavenging fish and plenty of competition for anglers to contend with.

Forbes: Stratolaunch Just Bought Virgin Orbit’s 747 For Hypersonics Testing
Stratolaunch has acquired Cosmic Girl, a modified Boeing 747 from failed satellite launch firm Virgin Orbit for $17m. Stratolaunch intends to use it as an air-launch vehicle for its Talon-A reusable hypersonic testbeds. Stratolaunch had pivoted to the hypersonics test-launch business in 2020 following the death of Paul Allen and the cessation of Allen family support. Separately, it has conducted a successful Talon-A vehicle separation test, paving the way for its first hypersonic flight in late summer 2023. The Talon-A vehicles can carry a wide range of payload experiments and will launch from Roc or other aircraft including 747s.

Fox News: Federal appeals court in Denver rules agencies must limit the killing of grizzly bears in Wyoming
Environmental groups have won the right to challenge a Wyoming grazing plan that allows almost 9,000 cattle to graze on 270 square miles of Bridger-Teton National Forest. The US Court of Appeals in Denver says that wildlife managers must consider limiting the number of female grizzly bears killed in the region, which lies near Yellowstone National Park, as a result of their preying on the livestock. The previous grazing plan for the area had put limits on killing female grizzlies, but the latest did not. The judges said not considering such limits was "arbitrary and capricious".
