Flag And Cross: Biden's Border Crisis: Five Illegal Aliens Charged in Murder of 15-Year-Old Boy
Five men, all illegal immigrants linked to MS-13 gang, have been charged with the murder of 15-year-old Limber Jocimar Lopez Funez, whose remains were found in Gambrill State Park, Maryland, two months after he was reported missing in Frederick. This is only the latest in a string of violent crimes by illegal immigrants, and it's due to the Biden administration's inability to secure the southern border, resulting in increased threats to national security.
The Biden administration's decision to fling the U.S.-Mexico border wide open has had real consequences, one of which being the heightened risk to American citizens such as 15-year-old Limber Jocimar Lopez Funez. Biden's reckless actions have made it easier for dangerous people, including MS-13 gang members and people from hostile countries such as China, to enter the country. The administration must be held accountable for its failure to protect Americans.
American Thinker: Bidenites quietly drop DNA requirement for illegal border crossers claiming to be 'families'
The U.S. government stopped familial DNA testing at the southern border as part of its immigration policy favoring family units over individuals crossing illegally. This has led to cartels renting children to be used as "family units" to get illegal border crossers into the U.S., only to recycle them back to Mexico to serve as another phony parent's kid. These rentals are often subjected to violence and sexual abuse. In addition, children are ending up in some of the most punishing jobs in the country, flouting child labor laws that have been in place for nearly a century.

The Blaze: 'Wow': Reporter leaves John Kirby awestruck after citing hard data to ask about Biden being 'corrupt'
White House press briefing faced tough questions on Biden's alleged corruption. A New York Post reporter questioned the press secretary on recent polls indicating most Americans believe Biden is involved in "an illegal influence peddling scheme" with his son, Hunter Biden. The reporter also referenced congressional investigations into the Biden family. Kirby gave a vague answer, claiming that "there's nothing to these claims."

Fox News: DeSantis fires back at Trump attacks: 'So petty... so juvenile'
Trump continues to take shots at DeSantis over the pronunciation of his name, while DeSantis dismisses the attacks as petty and juvenile. The two have clashed over COVID response and immigration, with DeSantis stepping up his counterattacks against Trump since declaring his candidacy for president last week. The Florida governor argues that substance, not name-calling, is what voters want to hear.
The Epoch Times: IN-DEPTH: Here’s What Trump Has Promised If He Wins in 2024

Trump has proposed a White House task force known as the “Salute to America 250” to hold anniversary celebrations across the United States between Memorial Day 2025 and July 4, 2026. Other initiatives include the Patriot Games, an Olympic-style event for high school athletes, and the re-issuance of an executive order to restore the Trump-era National Garden of American Heroes that was ultimately blocked by President Joe Biden. Trump has also vowed to end birthright citizenship for children of illegal immigrants, as well as make policy proposals including ending “catch-and-release” and restoring “Remain in Mexico.”
Fox News: 'Facebook Receipts' project aims to reveal Meta's ability to influence Congress through high-powered lobbyists
A new project called The Facebook Receipts aims to expose Facebook's lobbying efforts in Washington, D.C. and its influence on legislation and regulation. The project is led by political internet wunderkind Zamaan Qureshi, who is part of the Real Facebook Oversight Board. The group's findings reveal Facebook's powerful influence on both sides of the aisle through lobbying dollars and political donations. Qureshi believes Facebook's money has been well-spent so far, but expects their power and influence to diminish as more and more bipartisan support for regulation gathers steam.
Fox News: Sen. Grassley hammers FBI Director Wray for refusing to make Biden document public: This is 'not good enough'
Sen. Chuck Grassley scolded the FBI for failing to produce a document allegedly linking former Vice President Biden to a criminal scheme. The agency offered to allow the document to be read at FBI headquarters during a call with Grassley and GOP House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer. Grassley is pushing for its official release, stating that the FBI is not being forthcoming to the public. FBI Director Christopher Wray could face contempt of Congress for not turning over the document physically.

Sen. Tim Kaine criticized the White House for failing to consult with him over the inclusion of a natural gas pipeline provision in the debt ceiling bill.

The pipeline is 94% completed and has faced criticism from environmental groups.
The Economist: Nikki Haley, like other long shots, sees a path to victory
Nikki Haley, former ambassador to the UN and governor of South Carolina, is running for president as a Republican long shot. She differentiates herself from Donald Trump and other candidates through policy, tone, and identity, campaigning in Iowa and raising hopes among her supporters. Despite polling in single digits and low fundraising, her allies argue that the Republican race will come down to either Trump or not-Trump, and Haley's policy differences could make her a strong contender. However, winning the Iowa caucus, where long-shot candidates such as Jimmy Carter and Barack Obama have been successful in the past, is not a guarantee.

Newsbusters: To Kick Off Pride Month, MSNBC Invites GLAAD CEO To Repeat Debunked Bomb Threat Hoax
GLAAD CEO Sarah Kate Ellis joins Morning Joe to discuss the so-called threats and violence against Target due to the company's Pride merchandise, which have been debunked as hoax.

Ellis also expresses concern about the supposed 500 anti-LGBTQ bills proposed, and a sense of fear among the LGBTQ community during Pride Month.
The Epoch Times: Is the Sleeping Conservative Dragon Finally Waking Up?
Traditionalists and conservatives are fed up with the ongoing woke cultural revolution in the US, which is happening despite little public support. They feel that illegal border policies, biological men in female sports, politicized jurisprudence, and other self-created messes are becoming institutionalized. Conservatives have been passive until now, content with nominating conservative judges and taking back the Senate. But they are starting to awaken from their slumber and are discovering that they can boycott, agitate, and roar against wokeism, as seen in the recent losses suffered by Target, Anheuser-Busch, and Disney. The Left still has many advantages, but the conservative dragon is starting to breathe fire.

The Epoch Times: What War With Communist China Could Look Like
Michael Pillsbury, senior fellow for China strategy at The Heritage Foundation and co-author of "Winning the New Cold War: A Plan for Countering China", was interviewed by Jan Jekielek, during which they discussed the possibility of war with China and the potential factors that could influence the outcome. Pillsbury warned that the US would have a disadvantage in a potential conflict with China due to its distance from the region, but added that the US could hold advantages through its economy and war experience. Pillsbury also criticized members of Congress and county governments for not passing legislation against Chinese purchases and investment, as well as the lack of an organization within the US government in charge of fighting a war with China or to deter China.

Fox News: Debt ceiling deal won't deliver on inflation or America. Senate must scrap it
Republican Senator Rick Scott opposes the debt ceiling deal voted for by the House of Representatives, despite conceding that it may be the best that could be done with President Biden. Scott argues that the legislation will increase debt and not combat rising inflation. He believes that conservatives in Congress must choose between passing the bad bill or "saying no" and living within the country's means to counter inflation. Scott argues that supporting the bill would be simply "kicking the can down the road" and displaying indifference to how inflation affects Americans' everyday lives.
Scott calls for a balanced budget, reduced government size, and less regulation, to boost the country's economy and pay down debt. He criticizes Biden's "reckless spending," highlighting that the proposed budget for this year was significantly higher than in 2019 and that this spending is hurting the American family through inflation, increased medical bills, and rising interest expenses. Scott argues that Republicans need to say no and send a message to the country that they hear people and care about them. He calls for reduced spending and the adoption of policies similar to those he pursued while governor of Florida, which he claims have resulted in more well-paying jobs, lower debt, fewer taxes, and better schools.
National Review: The Corner: It Takes More Than Low Unemployment for Americans to Feel Good About the Economy
The U.S. has 10 million unfilled jobs, but it's a worker shortage problem rather than a job creation problem. It takes more than low unemployment to make people feel good about the economy, with inflation, high interest rates, and supply chain problems still prevalent. Presidential candidates are promising to create jobs through infrastructure spending and expanding government, but connecting the 5.3 million Americans who want a job with open jobs is not being addressed.
National Review: The Corner: Well Done, Mr. Speaker
Kevin McCarthy secured a supermajority of Republicans in the House in a vote to raise the debt ceiling, with 149 voting in favor and 71 against. He also secured policy victories including $1.5 trillion in deficit reduction, tougher work requirements, and measures to speed up environmental reviews, while avoiding tax increases. The bill passed with solid bipartisan support and is expected to pass the Senate, averting financial turmoil.
Forbes: A Housing Expert Speaks: A Deep Freeze Followed By Equilibrium
Happy Nest is an app-based REIT making real estate investing accessible to everyone. Founder Jesse Prince expects a hibernation period, due to homeowners postponing moves, to prolong low inventory and curb housing supply's give-and-take with high mortgage rates and prices. Prince suggests capitalizing on incentives for governments to stoke new housing development and a potential to buy up distressed assets at a discount. He expects a future equilibrium between supply and demand, with housing prices falling and money staying expensive. However, if there's a slow housing production now and a recovery later, there will be a housing shortage and higher prices, even with lower rates.

Fox News: Doctors under fire as patients' claims of 'medical gaslighting' go viral: Need to 'be our own advocates'
The hashtag is gaining traction on social media, with over 226 million views on TikTok. It is a term used to describe when doctors dismiss or label patients' symptoms as psychological, particularly among young individuals, women, and minorities. A recent survey commissioned by healthcare company Mira found that around 65% of American women felt their doctors disregarded, ignored, or downplayed their medical concerns, with the number even higher for female millennials.
According to experts, medical gaslighting can erode patients' trust in medical professionals, create self-doubt, and delay receiving proper care. While a 1993 law mandates that medical research funded by the National Institutes of Health include women and minorities, a gender gap still exists in how providers evaluate women compared to men. Some experts suggest patients become their own healthcare advocates by asking questions, expressing concerns, and seeking second opinions.
The Epoch Times: Pediatric Drug Shortage Led to Dosing Errors in Ontario Children , Research Shows
A shortage of pediatric medication in Canada last year led to a spike in dosing errors in children in Ontario. Researchers found a twofold increase in calls to the Ontario Poison Centre for unintentional dosing errors of the medications for patients 18 years old or younger. The lack of children’s medication had a profound effect on emergency departments and many children went without treatment for fevers.
The Epoch Times: One Health, Holistic Medicine and the Poisoning of Minds
The One Health concept, which promotes a holistic approach to health, has been hijacked by a cult that seeks to control the masses by instilling fear. One version of this cult promotes an ideology that sees humans as a pollutant and justifies their restriction and death for the greater good. The other version uses fear to reshape society to the model desired by its purveyors. The World Health Organization (WHO), which has been refocused to serve the interests of its directive funders, is using its influence to promote this totalitarian tool of population control. It is therefore important for people to understand the ideology driving this movement and to expose the greed, lies, and deceit of those who seek to subvert public health and a holistic view of the world.

Field & Stream: Alligator Hunting: Everything You Need to Know to Get Your Gator
Alligator hunting is a popular sport in the South, with a style similar to bowfishing. Regulations vary by state and location, so it's important to read up before you go. Alligator hunting is typically done at night with a boat and heavy bowfishing equipment, and hunters use a bright light to spot the reflection of a gator's eyes before moving in for a shot. Most serious hunters also carry a short, heavy saltwater spinning rod and reel equipped with a treble hook for backup. The finishing shot should hit the gator in the flat spot on his skull directly behind the eyes and above the ears for a quick and easy kill.

Over 300 firefighters from the US and South Africa will be helping Canada battle its unprecedented wildfire season. At least 100 US firefighters will be in Nova Scotia over the weekend, while 200 from South Africa are expected to be in Alberta. The fires have destroyed at least 200 homes and cottages, and forced 21,000 people from their homes. Although the number of fires is roughly on par with 10-year averages, the amount of land they have affected, 104,000 sq miles so far, is unprecedented. Natural Resources Minister, Jonathan Wilkinson, cites the impacts of climate change as being responsible for more frequent and extreme wildfires.

Chana Nachenberg, a victim of a 2001 bombing at a Sbarro in Jerusalem, passed away after a 22-year coma, making her the 16th victim killed in the attack.
