Washington Free Beacon: Kevin McCarthy Just Notched a Victory. His Speakership is Perpetually on the Brink, According to the Press.
House Speaker Kevin McCarthy has managed to pass a debt ceiling and budget cuts package with a coalition of centrist Democrats and Republicans, despite facing criticism from conservative members and the media about his ability to maintain his speakership. McCarthy had to balance his need to secure votes from both sides while avoiding a deal that would infuriate the far-right and trigger a possible ousting. Despite media predictions of his downfall, McCarthy continues to hold onto his position as Speaker of the House and has shown the ability to unify his conference behind bills.

Flag And Cross: IAEA Closes Two Probes Into Iran Nuclear Program
IAEA has closed two investigations into Iranian nuclear sites, including traces of man-made uranium at an undeclared site and uranium particles enriched at an underground facility. The JCPOA set a limit of 202.8 kg for enriched uranium, but Iran's estimated stockpile has exceeded this by more than 23 times. Uranium enrichment rates are also far higher than permitted under the JCPOA, with enough enriched to 60% to make two bombs.

American Thinker: Credit, late fees, and consumers
Banks, credit bureaus, and the government view you as a number rather than a person. Loan issuers now use credit scores to assess an individual's creditworthiness, but how these scores are determined is unknown. Credit agencies mostly rely on information from collection banks, and disputing information is near impossible. Late fees account for $13 billion in revenue for collection banks, and while the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau proposes to lower these fees, lobbyists for banks remain opposed. There is no limit on the interest rates charged by collection banks.

Forbes: A Tribute To La Bandera Cocktail And A Recipe
La Bandera is a Mexican cocktail that mimics the colors of the Mexican flag. The drink is served in three separate glasses with fresh-squeezed lime juice (green), un-aged tequila (white), and Sangrita (red), which is a combination of tomato and orange juice. The drink is meant to be sipped slowly and combined in the mouth. The quality of the sipping tequila is important, and a good choice is Nosotros blanco, which is a smooth and balanced tequila that blends two agave regions. The Sangrita can be customized, but a good base is a thin, silky tomato juice from crushed tomatoes and fresh-squeezed orange juice. The drink is meant to be interactive and social, and enjoyed with friends.

The Epoch Times: 10 charming lighthouses are being given away for free—and you could, maybe, live there too
Ten lighthouses that have protected America’s coastline for generations are being given away or sold at auction by the government. The scheme is part of the GSA's plan to preserve such properties since modern technology means lighthouses are no longer essential for navigation. Six lighthouses are being offered at no cost to anyone willing to maintain them and make them publicly available, while four are being sold at auction. Lighthouses are often in beautiful locations and still enjoy great popularity among tourists and artists.

The Epoch Times: The Bombshell Report That Could Change Our Water
The National Toxicology Program's (NTP) six-year review on the neurodevelopmental and cognitive health effects of fluoride exposure has been mired in controversy and government interference. Their systematic review affirms the science linking fluoride to lower intelligence in children, supporting multiple studies concluding that fluoride is a neurodevelopmental toxin, while experts stress that there is no safe threshold for fluoride exposure. Delayed by unprecedented government interference, the NTP's monograph has become a major element in an ongoing lawsuit brought against the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) by the Fluoride Action Network (FAN) to ban chemical fluoride additives from public U.S. water supplies.

American Thinker: Chicago's crime crisis and the 'progressives'
Chicago suffered 53 shootings over Memorial Day weekend, which included the death of 11 people. Brandon Johnson, the newly elected Mayor of Chicago, expressed his plans to act against the city's violent streak using every resource he has at his disposal. However, Chicagoans have been living in fear for years and have heard these empty promises before from their previous mayor, Lori Lightfoot. Progressives tout, claiming they are doing what they can to fight rising crime, yet their policies have only made matters worse in a city that is nearly unlivable.
Fox News: UC Berkeley panned for hiring ousted San Francisco DA Chesa Boudin as 'Criminal Law & Justice Center' director
The University of California, Berkeley School of Law has been criticized for hiring ousted San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin as the founding executive director of its Criminal Law & Justice Center. Critics have lambasted the progressive prosecutor for being soft on crime and have pointed out his parents' history as members of a far-left militant terrorist group. Boudin plans to use his new role to drive meaningful change in the criminal justice arena and elevate the lived experience of those impacted.
Boudin's appointment has drawn social media condemnation, with critics asserting that the UC Berkeley Law's decision reflects poorly on the institution. The university has hailed Boudin as someone who is "transforming the criminal justice system in profound ways." However, Boudin's removal from office by San Francisco voters with 55% backing his ouster is still fresh in people's minds. The article published by UC Berkeley Law neglects to detail Boudin's catastrophic tenure, which saw rampant crime, and instead chooses to focus on describing Boudin as being "aspirational yet pragmatic, visionary yet collaborative, brilliant yet humble."

Fox News: Don't be fooled, 'Green Energy' is neither green nor energy
The "green energy" movement opposes clean, non-carbon nuclear and hydroelectric energy, the most proven alternatives to fossil fuels. Solar and wind, the favored forms of "green energy," are unreliable and provide less than 5% of world energy, only one-fifth of overall energy. Solar and wind's basic problem is unreliability, as they parasitize reliable power. If solar and wind become cost-effective and deployed on a large scale, they would have a massive "environmental impact" that the "green movement" would oppose. Fundamentally, the "green" movement is anti-energy, opposing current cost-effective sources of energy and only advocating for imaginary sources that might exist in the future.
