Fox News: Keith Olbermann calls for Biden to 'kick Joe Manchin's a--' over gas pipeline approval in debt ceiling deal
Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin has inserted approval for the Mountain Valley gas pipeline, which would carry shale gas from West Virginia to the East Coast, into the tentative debt ceiling deal agreement. Former MSNBC host Keith Olbermann cursed at Manchin for "sneaking" the pipeline approval into the deal, while some left-wing environmental groups have criticized the pipeline as bad news for the nation. Democratic Sen. Tim Kaine has introduced an amendment to remove the pipeline and save President Biden's integrity in the deal. Manchin has yet to comment on the situation, while the pipeline remains tripped up in court fights and environmental violations.
The Federalist: Democrats Are Demanding A Dictatorship In The Debt Debate
Some Congressional Democrats are urging President Biden to invoke the public debt clause in the 14th Amendment if ongoing negotiations with Republican House Speaker Kevin McCarthy fail. Sen. John Fetterman claims that this is the reason the 14th amendment exists and that they must be prepared to use it. However, Fetterman’s claim is absurd and has no constitutional basis. The ideology is dangerous; it invites dictatorship and violates the founders’ Constitution. The Constitution of Necessity is fake and contrary to the Constitution. Congress’s power alone is the way the founders' Constitution works.
Liberty Nation: How Vulnerable Is Mitt Romney in a Utah GOP Primary?
Mitt Romney may face a tough primary race in 2024 if he decides to run for re-election in Utah. His continual opposition to Donald Trump, although praised by some, is a concern for many within the state. His support for sending US taxpayer dollars to Ukraine, participation in a Black Lives Matter protest and stance on immigration are also drawing criticism from his potential primary challenger, Riverton Mayor Trent Staggs. However, Romney's advantages include name recognition, Mormonism, and the support of the GOP establishment in Utah, which may work in his favor.
The Federalist: Meet The 'Nonpartisan' Dark-Money Group Rigging MI Elections
Michigan has undergone drastic electoral reforms in the past five years, perverting democracy with dark money funded ballot initiatives by leftist organizations like Voters Not Politicians. VNP claims nonpartisanship but has been embroiled with Democrats, received large donations from liberal groups, and pushed for the formation of an independent redistricting commission. This move resulted in the sacrifice of rural communities and consolidated Democratic control following the 2022 midterms. Promote the Vote, funded in part by Sixteen Thirty Fund, constitutionalized electoral reforms, including early and absentee voting, state-funded ballot drop boxes, and private election administration. These efforts allow left-wing groups to influence elections and impair the viability of GOP candidates. The goal is to ensure Democrat election victories and to prevent any opposing organizations from reversing their efforts. Conservatives' lack of awareness only adds to the success of the deep state model for electoral victory.
Liberty Nation: DeSantis Takes the Fight to Trump – and the Woke Military
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis made waves this Memorial Day by criticizing the "wokeness" within the military on Fox News. Despite being a Navy veteran himself, DeSantis slammed diversity and inclusion programs, claiming they are the cause of low morale and recruitment. He also promised "very big changes in the services" on "day one" of his presidency if elected.
DeSantis also engaged in a war of words with former President Trump, accusing him of moving too far to the left and mishandling the pandemic. Trump responded by claiming DeSantis' handling of Covid-19 was worse than New York Governor Andrew Cuomo's. Despite this, DeSantis seems determined to avoid being another passive victim of Trump's insults and is hoping to force the former president to defend himself instead.

Fox News: California’s farmworker overtime law threatens goat grazing used to prevent wildfires, companies say
Goats are being used as eco-friendly and effective weed whackers in California’s wildfire-prevention strategy. After a drought-busting winter of heavy rain and snow in 2019, the state is facing a proliferation of vegetation that could fuel wildfires. However, the new state labour regulations may force herding companies employing goat-grazing services out of business as it becomes more expensive to provide them.
California has historically followed a set of different labour rules for goatherders than those for other farmworkers because their work requires them to be on call 24/7. However, a state agency has now ruled that the same worker protection rules should now apply to goatherds, meaning that they are entitled to ever-higher pay. The higher rates would cause companies to drastically raise their rates to provide goat-grazing services.

The Epoch Times: Dollar, European Stocks Steady With US Debt Deal in Focus
Investors welcomed the temporary resolution of the US debt-ceiling, with the US dollar strengthening, however relief gave way to concern about whether the deal would make it through Congress. There remains a huge disconnect between bond markets and equities with prospects of liquidity further tightening, particularly over the next six to eight weeks. While the deal is a boost to market sentiment, it places pressure on growth due to the expected tightening of liquidity conditions and a dampening effect on inflation. Meanwhile, pan-European STOXX 600 index flattened after recording its biggest weekly decline in two months and the Hang Seng and China’s CSI300 index closed about flat after falling to their lowest level since November, with investors also cautious ahead of China’s May manufacturing data.
The Epoch Times: Yen Firms on Policymaker Meeting, Dollar up After Debt Deal
The yen strengthens on news of a meeting of Japan's finance ministry and central bank, while the dollar rises to a two-month high against a basket of peers after the U.S. debt ceiling deal. Japanese central bank policy has been a major focus for investors in the past year, but intervention at current levels is unlikely. Republican lawmakers oppose a deal to raise the US's $31.4tn debt ceiling, highlighting risks to it passing Congress before the limit is reached, likely by next Monday. The euro was down 0.28 percent at $1.0674, and the pound dropped 0.13 percent to $1.2345. The Turkish lira weakened to a record low after President Tayyip Erdogan secured victory in the country's presidential election on Sunday.
The Epoch Times: Oil Falls 2 Percent on US Debt Deal Struggles, OPEC+ Talks Uncertainty
Concerns over the U.S. debt ceiling pact and mixed messages from major oil producers ahead of their meeting this weekend have caused a nearly 2 percent drop in oil prices. Brent crude futures fell by 1.8 percent to $75.71 a barrel and U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude dropped by 1.6 percent to $71.48 a barrel. Some Republican lawmakers said they may oppose a deal that would raise the debt ceiling in the U.S., while Democratic President Joe Biden and Republican House Speaker Kevin McCarthy remained optimistic the deal would pass before June 5. Saudi Arabian Energy Minister Abdulaziz bin Salman issued a warning to short-sellers betting on oil prices falling to "watch out" in a possible signal that OPEC+ may cut output.

The Federalist: Christians Have Done The Most To Promote Equality In America
Historian Mark David Hall's book, "Proclaim Liberty Throughout All the Land," challenges the notion that Christianity is a source of intolerance and oppression, arguing that it has actually been a bedrock for social activism and reform, promoting liberty, equality, education, and democracy. The book also refutes the mistaken belief that Christianity does not permit rebellion against tyrannical governments and confirms the history of the Puritans as proponents of democracy and liberty despite stereotypes to the contrary.

Fox News: Gavin Newsom blames DeSantis-signed bill for Florida shooting, gets fact-checked
California Gov. Gavin Newsom blamed a Florida Memorial Day shooting on a gun law signed by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis that's not yet in effect. DeSantis' signature allows citizens 21 years and older to carry a concealed weapon without asking the government for a permit or paying a fee. The law doesn't change who's eligible to obtain a permit, which still requires a background check, firearms training, and other standards. Newsom claimed the permitting law removes requirements for background checks, instruction, training, and oversight, but DeSantis' press secretary Jeremy Redfern countered that the bill Newsom referenced doesn't take effect until July 1.

Forbes: Aaron Wan-Bissaka Must Stay Put At Manchester United This Summer – Here’s Why
Manchester United's Aaron Wan-Bissaka has had an incredible resurgence this season, becoming an important cog in the team's defence that kept 15 Premier League clean sheets. Despite speculation that the club will sign a new right back to replace Wan-Bissaka, he has made huge strides forward and provided worthy competition for Diogo Dalot, who was expected to claim the spot for his own after making a fantastic impression at AC Milan. Both Wan-Bissaka and Dalot are entering the final year of their contract, and Manchester United will have to decide whether to offer them both new deals or opt for one and sell the other on the market this summer.
Manchester United fans believe that Dalot is more likely to leave, with the club being linked to Bayer Leverkusen's Jeremie Frimpong, an attacking right back who would emulate Dalot's qualities. While Wan-Bissaka is the best in Europe when it comes to one-on-one defending, there are other attacking full backs, like Frimpong, who can better Dalot's qualities. Wan-Bissaka, however, should stay past this summer as he has shown his appetite to learn and grow under Ten Hag while being a consistent defensive rock.

The Epoch Times: Startup Raises $70 Million to Develop Human-Like Robot
California-based robotics startup Figure has raised more than $70m to develop a humanoid robot called Figure 01 that is intended to perform repetitive and hazardous industrial tasks, and save on labour costs. Founder and CEO Brett Adcock said he believed the humanoid would eventually be capable of carrying out tasks more effectively than humans. Scientists from Goldman Sachs have warned that around 300 million jobs could eventually be automated by AI, while two-thirds of US workloads are exposed to "some degree" of AI automation. AI-powered integrated military systems also pose a growing concern, with China seen as a leader in developing AI-enabled lethal autonomous weapons.
Fox News: Million-dollar mystery of 3 new 2010 Tesla Roadsters found in China solved
- Three 2010 Tesla Roadsters were found in a storage facility in China after sitting untouched in shipping containers for 13 years. Originally believed to have been ordered by an individual, further investigation suggests they were ordered by a now-bankrupt Chinese electric car startup for reverse engineering purposes. The auction for the high bidders has been extended with offers over $1 million being vetted. The batteries are no longer functional, but Tesla offers an upgrade pack that is better than the original.
