The Epoch Times: Texas Legislature's First Special Session to Focus on Border Security, Slashing Property Taxes
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott called for a special session to address issues including property tax cuts and border security. The measure to cut property taxes would be covered by the state's budget surplus and the legislation aimed at increasing the penalties for criminal conduct related to human smuggling. Other special sessions will cover a range of issues, including ending COVID restrictions and mandates, designating Mexican drug cartels as foreign terrorist organizations, and holding "rogue" district attorneys accountable. Abbott accused Texas prosecutors of adopting "internal policies" and "refusing to prosecute particular laws," which Republicans believe set a "dangerous precedent" that undermines the authority of the legislature.

The Blaze: Target boycotts and threats are 'literally terrorism' says economics professor on MSNBC
A professor at the University of Michigan called the boycotts and threats against Target a type of terrorism. The company experienced a $9 billion drop in value due to their Pride collection, which included LGBTQ-themed onesies and books. Target removed some items under threat, which caused the professor to claim that "you get to control its policies... This is economic terrorism, literally terrorism." The removal of products led some queer and transgender designers to call the boycotters "domestic terrorists."

Flag And Cross: Photos Show It All - Bud Light Was Murdered on Memorial Day

Anheuser-Busch's loss was a boon for competitors, whose beers sold out in many stores while Bud Light remained untouched.
American Thinker: 'It’s all about the money' -- The Dysfunctional Biden Family Legacy
The New Yorker detailed the family history of four generations of Bidens, focusing on Joe Biden's grandfather and father, detailing their relentless pursuit of money for social status. The story covers their rise from "shanty" Irish immigrants to "lace curtain" Irish. The family's pursuit of economic and social success gave rise to Joe Biden Sr.'s money through contacts with his uncle-in-law, who had a controversial waterproof grave vault company along with their own crop-dusting and asphalt shield businesses. Joe Biden Jr. carried on with his family's prosperity quest by seeking to surpass the status of the DuPont family and build his house near them. Finally, the Bidens' problems with alcoholism and personal and family traumas are hinted upon.
PJ Media: Stores, Stores Everywhere, and Not a Place to Shop

However, some conservatives argue that it's time to make sacrifices for something greater than themselves and reduce their woke footprint.

Euromaidan Press: Occupied Crimea head creates private armies ahead of Ukraine’s offensive
Illegitimate head of occupied Crimea, Sergey Aksyonov, is creating private armies and fortifications ahead of Ukraine's anticipated counteroffensive in 2023.

Fox News: Biden hits China, Mexico with sanctions for counterfeit, fentanyl-laced pill production
The Biden administration has sanctioned individuals and entities in China and Mexico linked to counterfeit and fentanyl-laced pills. The move involves a Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control-led effort and is aimed at people and groups associated with the sale of pill press machines and other devices used to create counterfeit pills. The companies targeted are said to have used techniques aimed at evading US law enforcement scrutiny, with some directly supplying drug traffickers operating within the US.
Washington Free Beacon: 'We Have No Plan': United States and United Kingdom Struggle to Combat Chinese Influence, Officials Say
The US and UK have no plans to combat Chinese aggression off the battlefield, according to sources from recent high-level meetings between officials from both countries. The CCP’s political warfare operations were raised as a concern in several meetings, signaling that both countries are struggling to beat back China’s growing global footprint. Officials from both countries expressed concerns about a burgeoning "international order with Chinese characteristics."
Rep. Mike Gallagher (R., Wis.) led the delegation to Britain, where he discussed strategies for deterring a full-blown military siege of Taiwan. He was concerned countries were not doing enough to detach their economies from China. If the US and China went to war, the communist government would likely shut down global supply chains, an outcome a congressional war simulation held in April confirmed. The three delegations discussed using the AUKUS treaty to increase military and technological cooperation between the Western governments in a bid to isolate China.
Fox News: China rejects Biden administration request for meeting between military leaders: report
China declined a meeting between US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and Chinese Defense Minister Li Shangfu citing the US's attempt to suppress China and continue imposing sanctions. White House National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan and Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo have met with Chinese counterparts, but the Chinese embassy spokesman questioned the sincerity of having communication in light of the US's actions. The Pentagon expressed the importance of maintaining military communication between the two countries to prevent conflict.
US-China tensions have risen after the US's military shot down a suspected Chinese spy balloon and the Biden administration urged China not to aid Russia in its war with Ukraine. China has taken issue with the US-Taiwan relationship, but Taiwan's President Tsai Ing-wen visited the US and met with House Speaker Kevin McCarthy. Multiple Biden administration officials have met with Chinese officials this year.

Fox News: Biden's student loan handout: Senate should just say no. Here's why
Republicans are pushing to block President Biden's student loan transfer and repayment pause. The Congressional Budget Office estimates that this scheme will cost taxpayers nearly $600 billion. The burden will be transferred from those who willingly chose to take out debt to attend college to those who did not go to college or already paid off their loans. The policy is unfair to the ordinary Americans who will have to pay the bill for other's student debt. Republicans are calling for a reset and hope that the President and Congress can work together to put the country's financial house in order.

Red State: Vatican Demands Bishops Stop Criticizing Pope Francis on Social Media
The Vatican has called on bishops and prominent lay Catholics to moderate their public criticisms of Pope Francis and church leadership on social media to avoid causing division and harming the church's reputation. The call came as part of a 20-page document on "Engagement with Social Media," which urged a reflective approach to social media and asked users to be mindful of sharing content that could exacerbate division, misunderstandings, or prejudices. Critics of Pope Francis, many of whom disagree with his liberal stance on issues such as migration, economy, divorce, or climate change, have been emboldened by the death of his predecessor, Benedict XVI, but Francis has requested that detractors address him directly rather than publicly criticize.

American Thinker: Medicare-for-All: Resurrection of a Terrible Idea
Progressive Democrats seek to reintroduce Medicare-for-All, which would impose single payer healthcare on Americans, resulting in national financial suicide and medical death-by-queue. The claims made about the bill, including saving $650 billion and improving access to care, are false. Senator Sanders himself admitted the bill would cost $30-40 trillion over ten years, with an independent analysis projecting a cost of $32.6 trillion over that timeframe. While supporters say Medicare-for-All will improve patients' access to care, evidence refutes this claim, with long wait times to see a physician and physicians facing increased regulatory burdens.

American Thinker: Dealing with the Upcoming Climate Failure Blame Garme
Lord Frost believes that European governments are starting to have doubts about their climate agendas, and support for Net Zero policies is starting to fall across Europe, as measures start to bite. However, the only thing that Frost can recommend is to be ready for the step change. He notes that the COVID pandemic showed how government and public opinion work, and once the government launches a narrative and gets everyone on board, it can't reverse course. The only job of those willing to question the rush to Net Zero is to see the crunch moment coming and start to get the politics ready.
