PJ Media: The Feds Want to Take Your Guns While Stockpiling Weapons, Ammo, and Tactical Gear
The Democrat Party is against an armed citizenry, but the government has been arming itself. The IRS has spent $10 million on weapons, ammo, and gear since 2020, and HHS has spent $154 million since 2006. They are unnecessary for agencies whose mission is not to use force, and the Left loves guns as symbols of power, as long as they are the only ones with them.
Fox News: Trump counters DeSantis on needing 2 terms to roll back Biden moves: 'It'll take me 6 months'
Former President Trump is refuting Ron DeSantis' claim that it will take two terms to undo Biden's agenda. Trump stated he can accomplish the task in six months if re-elected president. DeSantis spent the day touring Iowa, where he compared himself to Trump but never mentioned him by name and questioned the direction of the GOP. Trump promised to double ICE and Border Patrol staffing, and finish the border wall if re-elected, with a goal of making the U.S. energy-independent within six months. Trump and DeSantis are top candidates for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination.
Fox News: RFK Jr. reveals whether he would support Biden if the president wins Dem nomination: 'I don't have a plan B'
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is confident in his ability to beat President Biden in the Democratic presidential nomination race. The environmental lawyer and vaccine critic, who comes from a well-known political family, stated that he does not have a plan B to support Biden if the latter wins renomination. Kennedy acknowledges that his name recognition may be behind his double-digit support in the polls during this early part of the 2024 election cycle. While he faces difficult odds in challenging an incumbent president, Kennedy stated that "we will have the resources" to run an effective primary campaign.
Kennedy criticized Biden's handling of the war in Ukraine and COVID policies, which he called "terrible" and damaging to the middle class. He also criticized Biden for inviting Wall Street to craft domestic policies that exclude the middle class, and for shifting $4 trillion in wealth from the middle class. Kennedy welcomed support from libertarians and emphasized his populist positions while distancing himself from comparisons to Donald Trump. Despite facing challenging odds in the nomination race, Kennedy vowed to pour concrete on the notion that New Hampshire holds the first in the nation primary, and pledged to fight to win every vote in New Hampshire if elected president.
Fox News: Senate votes to kill $400 billion student loan handout, sets up fifth Biden veto
The Senate voted to scrap President Biden's proposal to forgive over $400 billion in student loan debt, forcing Biden to issue his fifth presidential veto. In a 52-46 vote, the Senate passed a resolution disapproving of the Department of Education rule implementing Biden's plan. The program was put on hold after a court blocked it, and it was expected to cost the government more than $400 billion.
Democrats voted overwhelmingly against the resolution and argued that Republican efforts to kill the program would hurt millions of Americans who have already qualified for debt relief. "Republicans are willing to do anything and everything to prevent you from living a life without crushing debt," said Sen. Patty Murray. Given the mostly partisan nature of the votes, Congress will not be able to find the two-thirds majority needed in each chamber to override Biden's veto.

Fox News: Montana transgender lawmaker warns companies like Target: 'Make sure you’re standing up alongside us'
Montana transgender state lawmaker Zooey Zephyr spoke out about corporations supporting the LGBTQ+ community after Target removed some merchandise celebrating Pride month from some stores amid backlash. Zephyr, who had previously been barred from the Montana State House floor for presenting "hate-filled testimony" while debating a bill to ban transgender medical care for minors, stated that it is more important now than ever for corporations to "stand up alongside us throughout this" and be a "good corporate citizen." Many Target locations have massive June Pride month displays, but some southern stores have moved their Pride section to avoid backlash.
A Target insider claimed that the company has received threats by domestic terrorists, and customers have expressed outrage this year, particularly in rural areas of the South, which may have led to the merchandise relocation. Conservative backlash has also been directed towards Bud Light after they used a transgender influencer in their promotional campaign. Zephyr added that those who support anti-LGBTQ+ legislation are not just against "sports" or "youth," they "don't want to see LGBTQ+ people thriving in our stores, in our communities" and "will get very angry at the sight of us."
Fox News: Alabama Senate committee advances bipartisan bill cutting sales tax on groceries by half
Alabama lawmakers have advanced House-passed legislation that would remove half of the state’s 4% sales tax on food. Alabama is one of only three states that tax groceries at the same rate as other purchases.

Fox News: Putin's 'butcher' threatens to cut short Ukraine campaign if 'clowns' in Moscow keep calling shots
Mercenary leader Yevgeniy Prigozhin declared that his men would not return to Ukraine if Moscow continues to be led by "clowns," further straining the relationship between his Wagner Group and the Russian military command. Prigozhin wishes to fight independently without anyone's help and claimed that, in the event of the chain of command failing, "we will not participate in it." Wagner had previously provided Putin with a reliable source of support during the war in Ukraine, but the group is now facing shortages of necessary munitions.
Despite selecting new personnel and decreasing support for the Wagner Group, Putin had increasingly depended on the private forces with the continuing war. Wagner Group leader Yevgeniy Prigozhin alienated the Russian military command, which he needed to collaborate with. The feud between the two intensified after the new appointments, which saw the army decrease its support for Wagner troops.

Fox News: Alabama Senate committee cuts proposal that would have exempted all overtime pay from income taxes
Alabama's proposal to exempt workers' overtime pay from state income taxes has been gutted by a legislative committee due to concerns over potential losses to the education budget. The state House of Representatives had approved the legislation unanimously, but the Senate Finance and Taxation Education Committee amended the bill so that only the first $2,000 of overtime pay would be exempt. The original bill would have cost the state an estimated $45m per year, but that would drop to $21m with the change.

Red State: Movie Review Sites Shield ‘The Little Mermaid’ From Negative Criticism, Revealing a Double-Standard in the Process
Disney's "The Little Mermaid" is facing resistance and review-bombing due to the decision to cast a black actress in the lead role, but some sites are taking action to weed out fraudulent reviews. IMDB has applied a weighted formula to one-star user reviews to adjust for the imbalance. However, there isn't much explanation for this tactic and sites seem to have a one-sided approach since fraudulent reviews are almost entirely based on negative ones. Review-flaring and fake raves could be just as fraudulent but are not being addressed as a problem.

Daily Wire: COVID Vaccine Skeptic Doctor Praises ‘Severe Legal Penalties’ For Doctors Providing Gender Medicalization To Minors
Cardiologist and COVID vaccine skeptic Dr. Peter McCullough is calling for legal penalties for doctors providing "life-altering" transgender medical treatments to children. He believes that states are taking action because the medical profession is not policing itself, and at least 31 states have proposed restrictions on child sex change treatments. Some states even punish doctors with criminal penalties for providing puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, or gender surgeries to minors. Transgender medicalization of minors is considered "unprofessional conduct" by many state bans, as it does not cure gender dysphoria and sterilizes many children who receive it.

A Missouri man's execution has been halted amid questions regarding the literacy of a juror in his 2010 trial. The judge has ordered a hearing, after the man's defence claimed the juror could not read or write. Missouri law requires jurors to be able to read and speak English. Michael Tisius was convicted of killing two jailers during a prison break which was intended to release his accomplice's boyfriend. The witness's literacy has been called into question after two conflicting statements were made regarding reading and writing ability. This has prompted calls to the state governor for clemency.
