Fox News: Trump vows to end birthright citizenship for children of illegal immigrants
Trump announced he will sign an executive order to end birthright citizenship for illegal immigrants if he wins re-election in 2024. He claims the policy serves as a "major incentive" for illegal immigration and will instruct federal agents that children of illegal immigrants are not eligible for citizenship.
The Right Scoop: WATCH: Trump promises to end birthright citizenship as president
Trump promises to end birthright citizenship for illegal immigrants via executive order and a 'correct' interpretation of the law. He made the same promises in 2018, but never followed through. DeSantis also opposed birthright citizenship, but believes that any executive order would be immediately challenged in court. It's a no-brainer that birthright citizenship has to be ended as it remains a massive draw for illegal immigration.

Daily Wire: Portfolio Manager Will Encourage Major Oil Company To Ignore Activists, Embrace Fossil Fuel Sector
David Bahnsen will push ExxonMobil at its annual shareholder meeting to resist calls to move away from fossil fuels and instead embrace the sector, ignoring activists who favour decarbonisation. A shareholder vote will be taken on a number of resolutions calling for the oil and gas company to reduce carbon emissions and set net zero targets. A separate resolution by Bahnsen calls for the establishment of a "Board Committee on Decarbonisation Risk" to consider the impacts of such policies being pursued. The investor also filed a similar resolution at JPMorgan Chase earlier this month.
Red State: Joe Manchin Gets More Bad News as Decision Time Draws Closer
Senator Joe Manchin's bid for reelection in West Virginia is faltering, with polling suggesting that he trails by 22 points against Republican Governor Jim Justice. Despite distancing himself from both his party and President Joe Biden, Manchin's approval rating lags far behind his opponent at 33%, further complicating his efforts to claim another Senate term. His ties to the Democratic party and recent deal over the fake Inflation Reduction Act with Biden and Sen. Majority Leader Chuck Schumer have turned off voters in a state that leans red. Manchin is also considering a presidential bid, but that may not be feasible as he struggles to rehabilitate his standing with voters back home.
Fox News: 2024 showdown: Trump, DeSantis battle for votes in the crucial lead off state of Iowa
Donald Trump and Ron DeSantis both plan to visit Iowa this week, demonstrating the fierce competition in the 2024 GOP presidential primary. DeSantis, a popular two-term conservative governor of Florida, will begin his two days of campaigning with a stop at the Eternity Church in Clive. Trump, the commanding front-runner, is set to speak to Republican activists the following day. Both men plan to crisscross the state, holding events in cities before campaigning in other locations across the country. The Iowa caucuses are the first official contest of the primary, and high voter turnout from evangelical Christians usually decides the Republican nominee.
DeSantis, who is a declared presidential candidate, stated that his commitment to campaigning in Iowa is very important. His super PAC, Never Back Down, has hired political operatives to build up a field operation, organize events, and showcase a slew of endorsements by state lawmakers. Meanwhile, the Trump campaign has upped their game compared to 2016, when their organizational skills in Iowa were criticized. Several other declared candidates have also traveled through Iowa to gain support as Kaufmann points out that "there is more than one ticket out of Iowa". Candidates who over-perform in the caucuses can leave Iowa with momentum for the long game.
Newsbusters: Bitter MSNBC Lefty Jolly: ‘Very Dark Figure’ ‘DeSantis Is Far More Dangerous Than...Trump’
Former Republican Congressman David Jolly claimed on MSNBC's Mehdi Hasan Show that Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is a "dark figure" and "far more dangerous than Donald Trump". Jolly argued that DeSantis is a "culture warrior" who wants to take America back 100 years and believes he can use the Constitution to reach that end. He also claimed that DeSantis believes we are engaged in a real war that he has to win, adding that pardoning the January 6th insurrectionists is evidence of DeSantis' dark vision. The statement has been widely condemned for its predictability and shallow presentation, being seen as an attempt to maintain anti-Trump sentiments.
Fox News: FBI contempt of Congress deadline looms as Comer demands key Biden document
Rep. James Comer is threatening to hold the FBI in contempt of Congress if it does not meet a Tuesday deadline to hand over information about the Bidens' business practices. Comer, R-Ky. subpoenaed the FBI for a document that allegedly describes a criminal scheme involving Biden and a foreign national and relating to the exchange of money for policy decisions. After Comer threatened to hold FBI Director Christopher Wray in contempt of Congress if the document was not provided by May 30, Wray scheduled a phone call with Comer for May 31.
A whistleblower approached Comer and Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, alleging that the FBI and the Justice Department were in possession of the document, and that it would reveal "a precise description of how the alleged criminal scheme was employed as well as its purpose." FBI has refused to hand over the document, stating that releasing confidential source information could potentially jeopardize investigations and put lives at risk.
American Thinker: Good day for 'la derecha' in Spain
Spanish elections saw a major loss for the ruling Socialists and a boost for the conservative People's Party; the gains may indicate the potential downfall of the current left-wing coalition led by the Partido Socialista Obrero Español (PSOE) if repeated in national elections by December. The reasons behind this change include the struggling economy, a nationalist sentiment rising in the face of the euro, and a focus on gender issues perceived as less important than family budget problems for most voters.
PJ Media: DHS Issues Domestic Terror Warnings as Election Season Shapes Up
The Department of Justice warns of potential increase in domestic terrorism tied to the upcoming election season and sociopolitical issues. Targets may include critical infrastructure, faith-based institutions, and government facilities. The bulletin cites examples of past violence tied to ideological beliefs and grievances, including racially or ethnically motivated violent extremism and involuntary celibate violent extremist ideologies. There is no mention of a “Pyramid of Far Left Radicalization.”
The Epoch Times: McCarthy Threatens to Charge FBI Director With Contempt
House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) threatened to advance contempt of Congress charges against FBI Director Christopher Wray if he fails to provide a document alleging a criminal scheme involving President Biden before the May 30 deadline. In a letter on May 3, House Oversight and Accountability Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) and Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) revealed that the FBI possessed an unclassified record relating to the exchange of money for policy decisions. The FBI has refused to hand it over, citing confidentiality and national security concerns. McCarthy suggested the FBI's refusal to turn over the document suggests the agency views itself as above Congress.
Fox News: ‘Horrifying’ CUNY Law commencement speech ‘blatant call for insurrection,’ university professor says
A City University of New York (CUNY) law student’s commencement speech calling for the dismantling of capitalism and Zionism, and calling laws "White supremacy", has been criticised as "horrifying" by a CUNY professor. Fatima Mousa Mohammed’s speech called for a “revolution” against America’s “oppressive” institutions, and was described by Jeffrey Lax as "a blatant call for American insurrection”. Mohammed also “asks for rage to be the fuel for the fight against capitalism … against Zionism.” Her speech has sparked protests and incitement from both pro-Palestinian and pro-Israel groups, and led to calls to strip CUNY Law of its funding.
American Thinker: WaPo announces ‘a debt ceiling’ doesn’t ‘make sense’
The Washington Post editorial board supports unlimited government spending and borrowing, believing in the idea that government borrowing doesn't cost a thing because they can print more money. They also support college tuition hikes, open borders, and pro-crime policies. They love politicians like Biden and Yellen who have no concept of what causes inflation and support radical green energy policies. They appear to be confused between speculative predictions and fact.
Red State: Here's Your Jennifer Rubin Laugh for the Day: the GOP Candidate She Thinks Can Win the Primary
GOP primaries heating up, with Biden struggling and Trump leading by 30 points over DeSantis. Other potential candidates include Tim Scott, Chris Christie, Nikki Haley, and Asa Hutchinson. Jennifer Rubin suggests John Bolton, provoking backlash for her pro-war stance. Trump was right about the danger of relying on Russian gas, as the recent sanctions for Ukraine invasion lead to Russia cutting off gas to Europe. Biden's weakness compared to Trump is evident in current foreign policy issues.
Daily Wire: McCarthy ‘Prepared’ To Hold FBI Director In Contempt
House Speaker Kevin McCarthy threatens to move contempt charges against FBI Director Christopher Wray if he did not submit a subpoenaed document to Congress. This is an attempt to resolve the weeks-long conflict between the House Oversight Chairman and the FBI. The document allegedly contains a criminal "bribery" scheme involving President Joe Biden. Representatives and the FBI continue to argue over the document's validity, and disagreements over confidentiality led to talks of potential imprisonment for Wray.
The House is fighting for access to an alleged FD-1023 form that may describe the bribery scheme. The FBI is hesitant to release information due to confidentiality concerns, and lawmakers are pushing for the document's submission. McCarthy offers a joint solution, offering confidentiality while still providing access to the document. The FBI could face imprisonment or civil enforcement if they do not comply. Tensions will continue until Congress receives the requested information.
Fox News: NV Dems to fine schools $5k per day for not allowing biological males in girls sports
Democrats in Nevada pass an amendment that penalizes school boards for preventing biological males who identify as transgender from participating in women's sports and using women's locker rooms. The administrative penalty of $5,000 per day will be imposed on school boards that do not allow students to participate in "school activities" based on their "gender identity or expression". The amendment was added after the first draft of Assembly Bill No. 423 passed with unanimous, bipartisan support and was reportedly only passed with full Democratic support. The bill will go into effect on July 1, 2023.
The Epoch Times: The Difference Between Direct and Indirect Help to the Poor
Leftists want to help the poor by throwing money and setting up programs. Conservatives believe in policies like free markets and private property rights that help the poor, but they aren't promoted as such. Profit maximization and private property are considered "trickle-down theory". The poverty-stricken enjoy air conditioning, color televisions, cell phones, automobiles, and dozens of other benefits. The left's welfare programs have boomeranged. The minimum wage law hurts teens and black people. Family affairs are being taken over by the state. The right must do more to demonstrate that free enterprise is the last best hope of the poor.

Daily Wire: ‘Vile, Unabashed Hatred For America, Israel, NYPD & Democracy’: CUNY Slammed After Commencement Address From Graduate
CUNY Law School faces backlash over speech by Fatima Mousa Mohammed, who criticized the NYPD, US military, and Israel, calling American laws "white supremacy." Suggesting that systems of oppression support the global violence of capitalism, imperialism, and Zionism, she received thunderous applause from the crowd. Critics, including Councilman Ari Kagan, Councilwoman Inna Vernikov, NY state assemblyman Simcha Eisenstein, and Congressman Ritchie Torres, call the speech vile, dangerous, and hateful, prompting calls for condemnation by the university.
American Thinker: June: Pride Month becoming Shame Month?
Gay Republicans are becoming more common as they feel the LGBTQ+ community is becoming too focused on children. The "sticker war" in liberal Burlington, Vermont has seen a group of gay Republicans accused of being transphobic Nazis for posting anti-trans stickers. There are many gay people who do not support the "alphabet mafia" and its portrayal of LGBTQ+ people. They believe these people are narcissistic bullies who are being presented as representatives of the community. They live normal lives and do not need to be held up as examples of how to be. Some gay Republicans are not public about their sexuality because they do not believe it is anyone's business, and they attend events and fundraise for the GOP. The LGBTQ+ community is being too focused on corporate perversion and obscene virtue signaling rather than the typical festival events they now host. Many gay people are embarrassed and dedicated to fighting leftist insanity.

Euromaidan Press: Putin accuses Ukraine of terrorist attack after drone strikes on Moscow
Putin accuses Ukraine of terrorism after drone attack on Moscow. He omitted that Russia has attacked Ukrainian residential areas with kamikaze drones and missiles.

The Economist: Ukraine’s Danube ports have become a lifeline
The Danube river ports in Ukraine have become a crucial lifeline for the country's grain industry as the Black Sea trade remains largely blocked by Russia. The war has led Denmark to develop the previously-neglected ports, which offer the advantage of close proximity to Romania, a member of NATO, which offers protection from Russian bombardment. Since September 14th, Nibulon’s road-and-rail export terminal has shipped 900,000 tonnes of corn and wheat. Shipping produce via the Danube is much less efficient than via Ukraine’s Black Sea ports, which accounted for 60% of Ukrainian trade before the war, which has led to losses for grain producers and predictions of a 25m tonne fall in grain exports in 2024-25, leading Danube advocates to call for the return to full operation of Ukraine's seaports.
Fox News: China fuels anti-NATO sentiment alongside Russia in support of ethnic Serbs fighting in Kosovo
China expresses support for ethnic Serbs in Kosovo, following violent clashes between NATO peacekeeping forces and minority Serbs protesting against regional mayoral election results. Ethnic Albanians, who make up the majority of the population in Kosovo won the election, leaving Serbs marginalized. Serbia has called for autonomy for Northern Kosovo, which has a high concentration of Serbs, but the government in Pristina rejected this idea outright. China and Russia both supported Serbia's efforts to "safeguard its sovereignty and territorial integrity", while both the US and EU have called for restraint and calm to prevent further escalation of the conflict.

Front Page Magazine: China Stands Up Biden's Weak Woke Pentagon
China rejects a US request for a meeting between their defense chiefs, shutting the door on a tentative rapprochement between the two powers. US defense officials say that the dismissal of the proposal was an unusually blunt message. China's embrace of Communism has been about centralizing and controlling society, with its soldiers fighting and dying on the orders of the Party. Compared to China, the US military is weakened by internal debates about race, according to some commentators.

The Epoch Times: ANALYSIS: Will Zimbabwe Pave the Way for Gold-Backed Money?
Zimbabwe has introduced a gold-backed digital currency, hoping to rescue the economy from inflation and economic turmoil. Central bank officials say this money will be supported by 140 kilograms of gold and is backed by the yellow metal, meaning it is not a digital version of physical fiat currency. While some economists doubt the efficacy of this project, the development of a gold-supported digital currency comes at a time when there has been a substantial increase in demand for the metal. Some officials have signaled that gold could play an integral role in reducing exposure to foreign currencies, particularly as they reduce their exposure to foreign currencies, like the greenback.

Consumers are shopping online for beauty and personal care products with Amazon capturing more share, while physical stores are experiencing a decline in fresh fruit and vegetable sales. Companies should provide cost-effective options and consider new business models to win with consumers.
The Epoch Times: 3 Signs You May Need a Credit Card Hiatus
Using cash or debit instead of credit cards may help avoid overspending and interest charges. While credit cards can stimulate the brain’s reward center and cause people to make more purchases, shifting to cash may help stay on budget. To determine if changing payment methods is right for you, consider if you frequently overspend in specific categories, are an emotional or impulsive spender, or can’t see a way out of debt. Using cash or debit may benefit those situations, but preserving credit scores may require keeping zero-balance credit cards open with small recurring purchases. Consider meeting with a financial therapist or a counselor from a nonprofit credit counseling agency for guidance.

Front Page Magazine: The Life of Brian Used to Offend Christians, Now It Offends Wokes
John Cleese refuses to cut a scene from Monty Python's 'Life of Brian' in a stage adaptation, despite concerns over it being politically incorrect. The scene features a male character wanting to be a woman named "Loretta" and have a child. Cleese denies rumors that he planned to remove the controversial scene and challenges the idea that jokes can no longer fit the times. Critics have suggested that comedians who used to offend religious conservatives are now being condemned by woke liberals, as political correctness takes over.
The Epoch Times: LA Dodgers Flip-Flop on Including Nun-Mocking Drag Group in Pride Night Festivities
The Los Angeles Dodgers baseball team faced backlash after inviting the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, a drag ensemble known for its sexual interpretations of figures from the Christian faith, to perform at its Pride Night game. The team originally canceled the performance due to public pressure but later reinstated it after further pushback. The Catholic League president and some lawmakers, including Sen. Marco Rubio, have denounced the group as blasphemous and degraded Christians, while others support drag performances as a celebration of LGBT lifestyles. The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence supports various pro-LGBT causes, including gender-affirming clothing and resources for transgender teens. The Dodgers support for LGBT issues, as well as those of other corporations, has faced backlash from some consumers. As part of their Pride Night celebration, the Dodgers plan to spotlight various members of the LGBT community, including the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, and donate half the proceeds to the Los Angeles LGBT Center, a charitable group that supports child sex-change procedures and the “kink community.”

The Epoch Times: 4 Surprising Things Happen to Your Body When You Stop Drinking Beer
Beer has cultural significance, but it can also cause harm. Beer drinkers may want to consider quitting for these reasons: it can lead to weight gain and a larger waist, put the liver and heart at risk, elevate uric acid levels, and cause allergic reactions. Certain people, such as those with medical conditions, heart rhythm abnormalities, or taking certain medications, should avoid drinking beer. Beer contains gluten, so individuals with gluten sensitivity or celiac disease should also steer clear.
Quitting beer offers benefits such as weight loss and improving liver and heart function. Alcohol consumption can lead to liver-related conditions like fatty liver, alcoholic hepatitis, and cirrhosis, which may cause irreversible damage. Alcohol can also act as a toxin that weakens the heart muscle and cause alcoholic cardiomyopathy. Regular beer contains a significant amount of purines, which can lead to hyperuricemia and gout.

Fox News: South Carolina teen killed over bottle of water in 'senseless' shooting by gas station owner: sheriff
South Carolina Shell gas station owner, Rick Chow, has been charged with murder after he fatally shot 14-year-old Cyrus Carmack-Belton, outside the store. Chow allegedly chased the boy down the street after suspecting him of stealing water on Sunday. The Richland County Sheriff’s Department refuted Chow’s claims that Carmack-Belton had attempted to shoplift and maintained that even if he had, it was not a reason to shoot a 14-year-old. Members of the community held protests outside the store and the sign was vandalized on Monday evening. A witness who called 911 and spoke to the media has told of the impact it has had on the neighborhood.
The Epoch Times: Child Sex Abuse Inquiry Chair Calls Government Response 'Weak and Disingenuous'
The UK government’s response to recommendations made by the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse (IICSA) has been criticised for being “inadequate” and unlikely to address the issue. The inquiry’s chairwoman, Professor Alexis Jay, stated that government ministers had failed to grasp the urgency of the situation. The IICSA, instituted in 2015 and costing over £186m ($242m), made 107 recommendations regarding the prevention of child abuse. These included the formation of a child protection authority for England and Wales, the appointment of a children’s Cabinet minister, and the creation of a database of paedophiles.
The recommendations were intended to be far-reaching, covering abuse in children’s homes and religious organisations as well as by politicians. However, Jay and fellow members of the IICSA have claimed that the government’s response to the report does not reflect the gravity of the issue. Doubts have also been raised over whether the government will be willing to take any real action on the matter.
