The Epoch Times: We Don't Need to Become a Republic, We Are One
As Australia considers becoming a republic, concerns about growing anti-Christian sentiment and the potential loss of Australia's larrikin spirit arise. The author argues that Australia is already a republic, given its Commonwealth status, and that changing the Constitution is unnecessary. The current system, which features a "crowned republic," has served the country well for over a century, and there is no need to fix what is not broken.
Fox News: SEAN HANNITY: Republicans made a fundamental mistake in debt ceiling deal
The McCarthy-Biden debt ceiling deal has angered conservatives in the Republican House and Democrats alike. Conservatives are unhappy with the lack of real budget cuts, while Democrats dislike the new energy measures and work requirements for social welfare programs. Biden's loan forgiveness program will still continue, but Americans with student loan debt will be forced to resume payments. The federal government's COVID-level spending is likely to continue due to a lack of budget cuts.
Fox News: Leader of conservative House caucus refuses to comment on whether members will try to remove McCarthy
House Freedom Caucus chair Scott Perry dodged a question on whether he supports removing Speaker Kevin McCarthy's gavel after the House passed McCarthy's debt limit bill. The bill passed with 314-117 votes, with majorities in both parties supporting the agreement. McCarthy himself dismissed concerns about the move, while conservative critics fear that this bill breaches the agreement that McCarthy struck with the right.

The American Spectator: America Is Destined for Dictatorship
Conservative talker Jesse Kelly sparked controversy after tweeting that America needs a dictator. He believes the country is only as good as its current citizens, stating that Americans' manifest dysfunction means that we need to be controlled by an outside force. People on Twitter eviscerated Kelly as pro-dictatorship; however, he correctly argued that America's political institutions are only as good as its citizens. He believes that John Adams' quote: "We have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion..." still rings true today.
The Blaze: Biden lauds LGBT movement with another proclamation calling upon Americans 'to wave their flags of pride high'
President Biden proclaims June as LGBTQI+ Pride Month, calling on Americans to recognize the community's achievements and wave their pride flags high. Biden also claimed that transgender youth in over a dozen states have had their medically necessary health care banned. Companies are likely to show their support for the LGBT agenda in the coming month, including Target and Bud Light, who have both faced boycott movements recently.
The American Spectator: California’s Insurance Market Is Burning Down
State Farm General Insurance Co., the state's biggest insurer, will stop writing new policies in California due to the state's "prior approval" insurance system, according to a statement. The system, which allows the insurance commissioner to approve and even roll back rates for many types of insurance, restricts insurers' ability to set rates based on market conditions and risks. In a functioning market, companies compete for customers and set their rates as they choose. The market is strained and the government-created and industry-funded insurance consortium that insures people who can't find market-rate insurance, the so-called FAIR Plan, has around three times more policyholders than it should in a functioning market. This plan and the current rate-approval process take at least six months, causing at least one insurer to pull out of the market after waiting two years for a decision. California policy-testing authorities point at global inflation, catastrophes, and climate change as the key driving factors for State Farm's decision.
The Blaze: WA's first director of equity was fired after saying she didn't trust Mexicans because they could choose to be white, among other indiscretions
Dr. Karen Johnson was fired as director of the Office of Equity for Washington state due to derogatory comments about Mexicans, white people, and others. The allegations were found in an investigation by the Washington State Office of Financial Management into her termination. Johnson denies being prejudiced against any group and claims she was pushing for accountability at state agencies in relation to equity. Gov. Inslee responded that budgetary issues and problems within the agency led to Johnson's firing.
Flag And Cross: ICYMI: Here's What Chick-fil-A's Ex-CEO Said 'Caucasians' Should Do to Black People After BLM Riots
Former Chick-fil-A CEO, Dan Cathy, faces criticism for his remarks defending the Black Lives Matter riots and suggesting that white Americans have to feel "hurt" until the demands of the movement were met, according to the New York Post. Cathy singled out Caucasians and called them "shameful" for not fighting for their "black African American brothers and sisters". He also performed a gesture by shining a black attendee's shoes during his remarks. The remarks have caused some conservative patrons to question the brand.

Daily Wire: House Passes McCarthy-Biden Debt Ceiling Compromise Bill
The U.S. House of Representatives has passed a debt ceiling compromise bill suspending the $31tn debt limit until after the 2024 presidential election, despite opposition on both sides. The Fiscal Responsibility Act reached by lawmakers is a bipartisan compromise, which both Biden and McCarthy have stated did not offer either side everything it desired. The bill is to go through the Senate, with lawmakers urged to pass the deal before the US defaults on its debt on 5 June.
Forbes: Decked Stacks Success In Crowded Pickup Truck-Organizer Market
Decked's sustainably produced bed-top drawer assemblies have given the company nine-digit annual revenues in a multi-billion-dollar aftermarket accessories market. The systems retail for around $1,500, made out of 100%-recycled, tough plastic and recycled steel, and occupy a vacant middle between cheaply priced drawer sets and much more expensive ones. This approach is similar to that successfully pursued by WeatherTech in making plastic automotive floormats that are digitally customized to each car model.

Boston Celtics fall short of their ultimate goal again, signaling a need for change with the team's core.

Celtics are $50.6 million over in cap space, and a potential buyout of Brown’s deal could save them over $30 million in cap space next season.

The American Spectator: The Gentlemanly Side of Hockey
The Stanley Cup finals will begin this Saturday, with the Florida Panthers taking on the Vegas Golden Knights. Hockey might seem an odd place to look for the traditional qualities of chivalry, but it demands both physical toughness and gentlemanly conduct. The game elicits violence, but it is ritualized and policed by the players themselves. The opposing player is not an enemy but a fellow player to be treated with dignity.
