The New American: If Billion-Dollar Brands Want to Commit Suicide, Let's Help Them! Move Over, Disney and Bud Light. Here's the New No. 1 Target. - The New American
Wayne Allen Root calls on conservatives, patriots, and Christians to use their buying power to punish woke corporations in order to defund and boycott the left. Root and Nicky Billou's book, "The Great Patriot BUY-cott Book," lists the 128 best companies for their target audience to support while avoiding funding leftist, woke causes. Root adds that consumers have the money and power to vote with their wallets and punish corporations that fund leftist, woke candidates. The book's strategy has gained support from former President Donald Trump, who endorsed it.
Root believes Target is the new number one target for conservatives, patriots, and Christians to boycott. Root highlights that Target has lost $9 billion in one week after featuring a line of Satan-themed clothing designed by a satanic designer who has a history of encouraging the mutilation and murder of people who disagree with the transgender movement. Root urges people to boycott Target in order to punish them for supporting Satan. Root also promises to list the top five targets in America that should be boycotted, starved, and bankrupted.
The Epoch Times: Judge Declines to Sanction Kari Lake in Election Case
Attorneys for Maricopa County failed to get sanctions against GOP candidate, Kari Lake and her lawyers following a rejected challenge to signature-verification rules implemented by the county during last year’s midterm elections. Parties in a legal dispute “may question each other’s good faith motivated simply by their conviction of their own cause and incomprehension at the conclusions of the other,” according to Judge Peter Thompson. Lake has said she plans to take her election challenge to the U.S. Supreme Court and may seek Arizona’s US Senate seat. She ran for office to "return our government back to We The People" and is launching what she says is the “largest, most extensive ballot-chasing operation in our state’s history.”
National Review: The Corner: Will Joe Manchin Run for Reelection?
Senator Joe Manchin of West Virginia may not run for re-election in 2024 due to his current standing in the polls, trailing behind Republican Jim Justice by 22 points. Manchin's age and successful political career may also be factors in his decision. However, regardless of the outcome in West Virginia, Manchin's support for the 60-vote threshold means that his state's election will not determine whether Democrats can eliminate the legislative filibuster in 2025. Democrats would need to replace Kyrsten Sinema in Arizona and hold onto tight Senate races in Ohio, Montana, and Nevada in order to have the votes necessary to change the filibuster rule.
Red State: NEW: Bidens Offered 'Safe Harbor' to Hunter Biden, Messages Appear to Confirm Influence Peddling Scheme
New messages reveal Joe and Jim Biden's involvement in Hunter's foreign business dealings. The texts suggest that Joe Biden knew about his son's activities despite claiming ignorance. In one message, Jim offers a "safe harbor" to Hunter, and indicates that he can work with Joe alone. This adds to previous evidence of corruption in the Biden family's financial affairs.
The Blaze: Legal scholar Jonathan Turley lays bare Democrats' constitutional ignorance in debt ceiling crisis
Democrats are urging President Biden to use the 14th Amendment to override the statutory borrowing limit and end the debt ceiling crisis, but constitutional law scholar Jonathan Turley argues that this would not solve the problem and only cause a new legal crisis. Turley pointed out that Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's support for the maneuver shows her unfamiliarity with constitutional law. Laurence Tribe, who supports the possibility, does not argue that it would eliminate any debt limits. Sen. John Fetterman's assertion that the 14th Amendment exists to address national debt ignores the Equal Protection clause.
National Review: The Corner: The Case for the Debt-Ceiling Deal’s Work Requirements
Republicans are concerned about the debt ceiling deal struck between Kevin McCarthy and Joe Biden, particularly the lack of work requirements for government-assistance programs. While the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) will require work for certain adults without dependents, some argue that Medicaid should also have work requirements. However, the imposition of work requirements for Medicaid has been shown to be problematic and unpopular. Despite this, work or education/volunteer requirements for able-bodied adults without dependents are politically popular and promote reciprocity in safety-net programs.

Daily Wire: Officials Plan To Demolish Partially Collapsed Apartment Building; Community Members Say Loved Ones Still Missing
An Iowa apartment building partially collapses, with no fatalities reported, but some people are still unaccounted for. The cause remains unclear. Despite some rescue operations and efforts to contact residents, some families are still missing loved ones. Officials have planned to demolish the building as soon as possible but are reconsidering the plan after having saved a ninth person from the rubble. The situation remains in flux as the community waits for updates.
The Epoch Times: Vote With Your Wallet!
Voting may not be as effective as we think, especially with suspicions of rigged elections. Instead, personal spending has a more empowering impact on society. Consumer boycotts have been effective in shifting the marketplace, particularly with companies that prioritize interests of financial benefactors over customers. The recent boycott of Bud Light, which undermined American values in favor of the World Economic Forum's agenda, has resulted in plummeting sales, leading to potential consequences such as board purges and company demolitions. Personal spending may not require an election, but it is a daily democracy in which your vote truly counts.
American Thinker: Climate activists were in for a surprise after they tried to hurl orange powder at London's famed flower show
Climate protestors at London's Chelsea Flower Show were sprayed with a garden hose by a local after they hurled orange powder all over a display. The display's designer is an award-winning plantsman. An onlooker shouted abuse at the protestors and others supported them. Three women were arrested following the incident. The response to the "loony Left 'protestors'" was a very British one. It was a people's response to a public nuisance and it contrasts with the mealy-mouthed responses from authorities which have usually led to weak punishments such as exile from the attacked city for a year to protestors who have targeted Europe's art galleries.
Daily Wire: WATCH: Camera Crane Knocks Climate Protester Down During Live Swedish Dance Show
During a live dance show in Sweden, climate activists interrupted Olympic skier Charlotte Kalla and her partner Tobias Karlsson, throwing yellow powder and holding up a banner that said “Restore Wetlands.” One of the activists was knocked down by a camera crane, which quickly ushered all protestors off stage. This is just one of many recent stunts by climate activists, including vandalizing historic landmarks and ruining priceless art.
Forbes: Demographic Change Accelerates In The U.S. [Infographic]
![Demographic Change Accelerates In The U.S. [Infographic]](https://imageio.forbes.com/specials-images/imageserve/6475f4fd2553cb3b9c569955/0x0.jpg?format=jpg&crop=1200,675,x0,y236,safe&width=1200)
The 2020 Census shows that the percentage of Americans aged 65 or older has risen by 4% to 16.8% since 2010, while those under 25 dropped by 2.8% to 31.5%, due to the aging of the Baby Boomer generation. The U.S. demographic changes are ongoing and unprepared for, but the country remains in a better position than Japan, with 28.5% of residents aged 65 or older in 2020, and several European countries with more than 22%. Immigrants have contributed to slowing societal aging, and Texas and California are among the youngest U.S. states with median population ages below the new national median of 38.8 years.
American Thinker: Debunking the lie that corruption is an immutable trait of lighter-skinned folk
Raymond Ibrahim argues against the movement to place the blame for societal ills on white people and racism, stating that Europeans' historical behavior was due to their power, not skin color. He believes that the innate depravity of man combined with power is the source of societal woes, rather than any one race being inherently evil. Without enforced law against the immoral use of power, those in power will take control and misuse the law to support and expand immorality. Ibrahim believes that our country was designed to protect individual rights by concentrating political power at the lower levels and limiting government, and that we can reset to that course by living in a society defined by moral law and restraint, rather than one in which immoral desires rule.

Ukraine launched its largest drone attack on Moscow, with all eight drones destroyed by Russian air defences. In the lead-up to a planned Ukrainian counter-offensive, drone attacks have intensified deeper into Russia, striking oil pipelines and the Kremlin. The Russian president has claimed that these are obvious attacks from the Kyiv regime, a statement which Kyiv has denied having any involvement with. Moscow's mayor confirmed two injuries were sustained due to the attack, but Putin has not yet addressed the incident publicly.

The Epoch Times: Hong Kong Billionaire Reduces Stake in Chinese Bank Amid China's Banking Troubles
Hong Kong tycoon Li Ka-shing’s foundation reduced its stake in the Postal Savings Bank of China by HK$122m ($15.6m) in a sale on May 11, sparking speculation that the entrepreneur is pessimistic about the Chinese economy. Foundation spokespeople said the share reduction was a routine financial arrangement. Albert Song, a researcher at thinktank Tianjun, said Chinese banking industry risks are increasing and non-performing assets could increase. Li has previously pulled out of mainland China to invest more in overseas markets, Lu Yuanxing political and economic analyst said. The real estate crisis and a likely wave of mortgage defaults will affect the banking sector.
Salaries at state-backed Shanghai Pudong Development Bank have become part of negotiations held by employees outside its branch in Shanghai. The bank commented that the gathering was the result of a dispute between a business outsourcing firm and its workers. But the pay cuts, reported to be affecting staff at seven other banks, have raised concerns in the market and are expected to become more widespread. Reduced salaries, said to have affected Pudong Development Bank employees since 2019, is attributed to banks’ profits plummeting after they cut back on mortgages.
Townhall: Biden's Debt Deal on the Brink as More Republicans Vow to Vote No
Biden's deal with McCarthy is in trouble as many Republicans reject the legislation. There is also dissatisfaction from Democrats. The bill suspends the debt limit until Jan. 2, 2025, and sets historically high spending levels as the new baseline, increasing govt spending by ~1% yearly.

Breitbart: Director Martin Scorsese Visits Pope Francis, Announces Plan to Make New Film About Jesus
Martin Scorsese is making a new movie about Jesus Christ after being inspired by Pope Francis' call for artists to use their gifts in service of the faith. The announcement was made during Scorsese's European tour to promote his films, and if he follows through it will be his third Christian-themed film. Scorsese's previous Christian-themed films include the controversial 1988 film The Last Temptation of Christ and the 2016 film Silence, which did not do well at the box office despite critical acclaim.

Modern-day carpenters are working with hand axes to fashion hundreds of tons of oak beams for the framework of Notre-Dame's new roof, giving them a new appreciation of their predecessors' handiwork. The use of hand tools is a tribute to the astounding craftsmanship of the cathedral's original builders and to ensure that the centuries-old art of hand-fashioning lives on. The carpenters and architects are also using modern technologies like computer design to speed the reconstruction and ensure a perfect fit.

Fox News: Exercise of any amount could help increase pain tolerance, new study finds
Regular exercise can reduce or prevent chronic pain without medication, according to a study. Researchers evaluated 10,732 participants in Norway's largest population study to discover participants' levels of physical activity. Higher levels of activity correlated with higher pain tolerance, even for individuals already experiencing chronic pain. Regular physical activity can also result in weight management and lower the risk of cancer, stronger bones, and an improvement in heart health.
Fox News: Seaweed piles in Florida may contain flesh-eating bacteria
Sargassum seaweed on Florida's coasts has been found to contain a dangerous bacterium, Vibrio vulnificus, which can cause life-threatening infections for those with open wounds or who come into contact with contaminated seawater. The bacteria can lead to necrotizing fasciitis, which kills the flesh around an open wound. Vibrio vulnificus infections in the eastern US have risen from 10 to 80 per year since 1988, and may rise to 200 per year by 2100, according to a report in Scientific Reports. The sargassum seaweed has the potential to be mixed with plastic litter contaminated with Vibrio bacteria, exacerbating the threat to human health.

Forbes: Projecting Jevon Carter’s Next Contract With Milwaukee Bucks
The Milwaukee Bucks hire new head coach Adrian Griffin, signaling a readiness to address the roster. Backup point guard Jevon Carter's pending free agent status is a vital question for the team, having played well in 81 games and putting up career-high performances, but was benched during the playoffs for the second year in a row. His player option is worth $2.24 million, with a decision to be made by June 29th, and he may be re-signed for up to two years with a starting salary between his player option and $11.34 million.
Newsbusters: USA Today Columnist Attacks ESPN's Sam Ponder for Opposing Men in Women's Sports
USA Today columnist Nancy Armour criticized ESPN's Sam Ponder for supporting Riley Gaines, a former college swimmer who spoke out against the inclusion of biological men in women's sports. Armour called Ponder's stance "hateful" and accused her of not caring about other issues in women's sports. However, Ponder's opinion on transgender athletes in women's sports is not connected to other women's sports issues. The inherent physical advantages that men have over women make it unfair for transgender females to compete in women's sports.

American Thinker: People are now fed up with obnoxious climate protest disruptors – and fighting back
AGW theory advocates' apocalyptic language of fighting extinction has led to illegitimate tactics by climate protestors, causing inconvenience to the public and losing sympathy. Ordinary people who don't witness predicted disasters are fighting back, as seen in Sweden where a camera boom operator fought back to protesters disrupting a dance program. When ignored, advocates escalate their humanitarian rhetoric and must not be allowed to reach positions of power.
