Forbes: ‘Milktoast McEnany’: Trump Attacks Former Press Secretary After She Says DeSantis Is Closing In On Him In Polls
Donald Trump criticized former Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany on Truth Social for giving out wrong poll numbers about Ron DeSantis' rising popularity in Iowa, insisting he held a 34-point lead instead of 25. It is unclear which poll McEnany referred to on Fox News or whether Trump was right. Trump also misspelled "milquetoast" in a derogatory nickname for McEnany and called her a RINO. An Emerson College poll conducted in May gave Trump a 42-point lead over DeSantis in Iowa.
Fox News: AI has power to 'manipulate' Americans, says Sen. Josh Hawley, advocates for right to sue tech companies
Senator Josh Hawley, R-Mo., is concerned about AI's ability to manipulate information and opinions of Americans. He believes that AI system has the potential to be dangerous and put the power in the hands of the corporations and the government, which would put individual Americans at risk. The senator suggested providing the right to sue companies that use AI for manipulating and misleading users as a way to curtail the power of AI. He also believes that repealing Section 230 of the Communications Act, which gives tech companies immunity, would help protect individual rights.
Senator Josh Hawley, R-Mo., warned about the negative impact of AI on individual privacy, potential manipulation of personal behavior, and opinions.

He believes that the government should consider curbing the power of AI by putting information and opinions back into the hands of individual Americans. Sen. Hawley emphasized that AI systems can easily manipulate attention, opinions and information, which is extremely dangerous. The Senator further concluded that putting power in individual hands could manage AI technology in a better way.

The Epoch Times: Chinese Ambassador Tries to Give Australia a Tax Lesson
Chinese Ambassador to Australia, Xiao Qian, criticized Australia's expenditure on the AUKUS nuclear-powered submarine plan as "unnecessary consumption of the hardworking Australian taxpayers’ money," suggesting that the money could be better spent on infrastructure, reducing the cost of living, and improving the future for Australians. However, the speculation is that the ambassador's real concern is that the submarines will provide an added deterrence to the CCP’s aggressive behavior towards nations that insist on the international rule of law and the uninterrupted transit of international skies and waters. The G-7 leaders statement opposing unilateral attempts to change the status quo by force, affirming the importance of peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait, and calling for a peaceful resolution of Cross-Straits issues drew objections from the CCP, which summoned the Japanese ambassador and claimed that Japan was colluding with other nations in smearing and attacking China.
Recently, the CCP refuted the comments of the Chinese ambassador to France, Lu Shaye, which questioned the former Soviet Union countries' actual status in international law. The CCP muzzled Lu by deleting the transcript of his comments on WeChat that outraged the Baltic states, which concluded that China could not mediate in the Russia-Ukraine conflict. German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock has called on China to join in calls for Russia to stop the war in Ukraine, but Xi Jinping's Defense Minister Li Shangfu hailed Putin's invasion of Ukraine as "Putin’s contribution to the promotion of world peace." When challenged, the CCP responds with blustering hostility.
The Epoch Times: Taiwan Believes China Won't Shift Australia on Trade Pact
Taiwan's Trade Minister believes that Australia will not bow to pressure from Beijing to block Taipei's bid to join the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP). The trade agreement currently includes 12 countries such as Australia, Canada, Japan, Mexico, New Zealand, the UK, and others. Beijing has also sent its application to join, but new members require unanimous agreement, and Australia has previously said that Beijing would need to remove all tariffs before its CPTPP bid can be considered. Former Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull has voiced his support for Taiwan's application to join the CPTPP.
Breitbart: Economic Basket Case Venezuela Wants to Join China-Led BRICS Coalition
Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro wants to join the BRICS economic alliance, and Brazil’s former President Lula da Silva supports his bid. Lula praised Maduro’s application, saying he hopes BRICS can develop its own currency to reduce U.S. economic dominance. The move could be problematic because Maduro's regime is under heavy U.S. sanctions. Lula called the sanctions “extremely exaggerated,” called for them to be lifted, and asked the U.S. to recognize Maduro as Venezuela’s legitimate ruler. Lula invited a dozen South American leaders to a summit to revive the Union of South American Nations, his previous effort at creating a regional economic and political collective.

Forbes: Players Implore Broadcasters Offer Fair Price For FIFA Women’s World Cup
Major European broadcasters are being urged to pay a fair price to televise the FIFA Women's World Cup, which starts in 50 days in Australia and New Zealand.

Front Page Magazine: Stranger in Moscow
Ronald Reagan delivered a landmark speech at Moscow State University in 1988, in which he enthused about the technological revolution and urged young Soviets to embrace freedom. He emphasized that individual experimentation and freedom were driving forces behind technological advancements, and that they were impossible without freedom. He enticed the Soviet audience with the idea of being able to travel the world and to enjoy U.S. media. While Reagan had a rosy vision of the future, he did not foresee the rise of social media, online division, the 9/11 attacks and the subsequent wars, and the transformation of corporations into financiers of socialism.
Fox News: Before Meghan Markle, Prince Harry the struggling 'spare' was already considering a royal exit: experts
Prince Harry expressed his desire for an ordinary life in a resurfaced interview with author Angela Levin. The Duke of Sussex stated that he originally wanted to leave royal life before deciding to stay and work out a role for himself. Royal experts suggest that Harry would have attempted to escape the pressures of being a royal regardless of Meghan Markle. However, Markle encouraged Harry to seek out a new life for himself, which led to the couple's royal exit, dubbed “Megxit”, in 2020. The pair now resides in Montecito, California, and continue to detail their struggles with royal life. Harry recently lost his legal challenge to pay for his own police protection in the UK but plans to challenge the decision to deny him government-paid security. The scale of Harry's unhappiness in the royal family has been haunting him for a while, and it's uncertain where his departure will lead.
Fox News: Next generation arms race could cause 'extinction' event akin to nuclear war, pandemic: tech chief
An AI arms race between countries and corporations could pose an existential threat to humanity, according to the Center for AI Safety's executive director. The organisation has urged the world to prioritise mitigating risks of extinction in the same way as they do pandemics and nuclear war. Top executives, including Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, and "the Godfather of AI," Geoffrey Hinton, have signed the statement. Tesla CEO Elon Musk has also warned of the technology's potential to bring about "civilisational destruction". However, the push failed to prompt large AI developers such as OpenAI, Microsoft and Google to suspend experiments.
