Washington Free Beacon: Political Pablum at Princeton
Princeton University president Eisgruber criticized the Republican Party for suppressing campus speech, blaming red state laws that prohibit discussion of sexual orientation or teaching disfavored views about race. However, many found the speech tone-deaf and hypocritical, given Princeton's own history of suppressing speech, including dismissing a tenured faculty member for political speech and including him on a list of racists presented to freshmen. A recent survey found that conservative students are far more likely to self-censor than leftist students, making Eisgruber's claim that Republicans are the biggest threat to free expression on campuses seem misguided.
The Epoch Times: Pain and Terror Felt by Passengers Before Boeing Max Crashed Can Be Considered, Judge Rules
A federal judge in Chicago has ruled that families of passengers who died in the 2019 Boeing 737 Max crash in Ethiopia can seek damages for their pain and terror before the plane hit the ground. Boeing has previously admitted responsibility for the deaths and agreed not to accuse the pilots or anyone else. While the trial is scheduled to begin on June 20, there are expected to be further arguments over the rules, including whether to call the crash an accident, and whether to allow testimony regarding pain and suffering. Attorneys for the families say that their clients are still thinking about the terror their relatives suffered as the plane repeatedly dove and climbed before entering a final nosedive.

American Thinker: In defense of white ‘girlie girls’ - Martha Stewart and Billie Eilish
The Women's Liberation movement aimed for equal opportunities and pay in the workplace, but regressed with the battle between "pro-choice" and "pro-life" and the pressure for women to act like men. Now, white women are derogatorily called "Karen," but no one is countering the insult. Martha Stewart's success is unfairly tarnished by her past felony charges, whereas countless men in Congress who have committed insider trading have remained free. Despite being accused of being demanding and difficult, Stewart went to jail, served time, and emerged unruffled. Billie Eilish, a musical prodigy, is criticized for accepting and proclaiming her feminine self after maintaining an androgynous appearance, which is unfair and contradictory to true feminism. It's time for women to push back against these unfair classifications.
Washington Free Beacon: Dispatch From an Alternative Universe: Los Angeles Dodgers To Honor Anti-Islam Group at Pride Night
The Los Angeles Dodgers faced controversy ahead of their Pride Night celebration after initially removing a group of anti-Catholic drag queen nuns from the list of honorees. The Dodgers later reversed course and offered apologies to the honorees and the LGBTQ+ community after pushback from left-wing activists. The situation could have been different if the Dodgers had honored a gay rights group that made a "blatant and deeply offensive mockery" of the Islamic faith, which would have resulted in the team being permanently banned from Major League Baseball and forced to vacate all their accolades.
American Thinker: Matt Walsh commemorates ‘Pride Month’
Pride Month celebrates the rejection of historical shaming of same-sex relationships, but promoting promiscuity has a downside from a public health standpoint. While understandable, the reaction to previous shame can turn into narcissism.

Zimbabwe introduces gold-backed digital currency to combat hyperinflation. Experts are skeptical but this could inspire other countries to return to sound money.
Liberty Nation: Red States vs Blue States: Who’s Winning the Race?
Red states are currently offering more job opportunities compared to blue states, according to recent studies. Since February 2020, red states have gained over 341,000 jobs, while blue states are down 1.3 million. This contrast may be due to a combination of the pandemic, resulting in COVID migration of people and businesses towards less restrictive areas, and differences in job security, cost of living and other factors between the two political types of regions. The growing remote work opportunities has also increased migration to red states, but some analysts suggest higher turnover rates rather than higher numbers of hires are misleading the statistics.
The Epoch Times: Finnish Company Admares Plans $750 Million Modular Housing Factory in US, Hiring 1,400
Finnish company Admares is investing $750 million to build a modular housing factory in Waycross, Georgia. The factory plans to use heavily automated mass production to build 5,000 to 6,000 homes per year with 80% less material waste and 75% less CO2 emissions than traditional homes. Admares could qualify for $28 million in state income tax credits and could help address workforce housing challenges.
Admares plans to build six such factories worldwide, hiring 1,400 people for the Waycross factory which will begin production in late 2025. The factory will be 2.5 million square feet and will only require a foundation and utility connections on the site where they are installed. Admares says it chose Waycross due to good rail and highway connections and proximity to a port at Brunswick.
The Epoch Times: American Airlines Says It Will Appeal a Ruling That Would Break up a Partnership With JetBlue
American Airlines will appeal a court decision that requires the airline to end its alliance with JetBlue Airways in the Northeast by late June. The Justice Department sued to block the partnership and a federal judge ruled last week that it violated antitrust law. American could seek a stay of the judge's order while it appeals. Losing the alliance would be a setback for American, which would need to find another way to grow in the Northeast. The partnership's demise would not have a significant impact on American's operating profit margin, according to American's CFO, but the exact cost is unclear.
The Epoch Times: China Factory Activity Slows, Adding to Economic Strains
China's manufacturing sector is experiencing a deeper slowdown in May as both consumer and export demand weakened, heightening concerns surrounding the economy. The purchasing manager's index (PMI) issued by the National Bureau of Statistics and an industry group dropped to 48.4 from April's 49.2. The country's leaders are under pressure to support the country's recovery: April's retail data was weaker than anticipated, while investments into factories grew less than expected. "The risk of a downward spiral, especially in the manufacturing sector, is becoming more real," stated Nomura economists in a report.

National Review: What’s Lost When Books Become Relics
Colleges are shifting the majority of their book purchases to e-books and digital documents, according to a recent report by the Association of College & Research Libraries. E-book purchases at academic libraries grew from 54 percent to 69 percent of monograph acquisitions between 2020 and 2021. In addition to changing libraries themselves, the loss of physical books is also changing how communities buy and signal literacy, and may result in historical unmooring.
Red State: AFT President Could Receive Over $200k in Teacher Pension Benefits Despite Meeting No Qualifications
Randi Weingarten could receive hundreds of thousands of dollars in taxpayer-funded pension benefits despite only three years of full-time classroom instruction. Her teaching record has been disputed, with some claiming she only taught one class for 40 minutes a day. Even if she did teach full-time for three years, she would not have met the five-year teaching requirement for taxpayer-funded pension benefits. Weingarten has been credited with 15 years, five months, and seven days’ worth of service credit, potentially eligible to receive at least $15,300 per year, which would cost taxpayers more than $230,000 dollars if she collects the pension for 15 years.

Fox News: Malfunction at NCAA D2 track championships causes partially-blind runner to finish in last place
A runner mistakenly thought he was on the final lap of the NCAA Division II 5,000-meter championship, kicking it into high gear before finishing last. The runner, Davonte Jett-Reynolds, is completely blind in his left eye and relies on the bell to know how much longer he has. A lap counter malfunction and a wrongly rung bell caused the confusion. Despite a protest by Adams State, the NCAA ruled that the results will remain. Jett-Reynolds is filing paperwork to participate in the Paralympics.

National Review: Setting the DeSantis Covid Record Straight
Former New York governor Andrew Cuomo, who resigned amid allegations of sexual harassment and corruption investigations, has become one of Donald Trump's most unlikely supporters. Trump has been attacking Florida governor Ron DeSantis, contrasting his approach to Covid with Cuomo's and his own preferences. However, Trump's claim that Florida is "Third Worst in the Nation for COVID-19 Deaths" is misleading, as Florida has a larger elderly population with a lower age-adjusted mortality rate than even the median state. Florida's better outcome is likely due to its better policies, such as resisting public pressure to adopt New York's Covid policy, which warehoused Covid-exposed seniors in long-term-care facilities and contributed to excess deaths among the elderly. Trump's attacks on DeSantis' Covid record have also been debunked, such as claiming that Florida had "radical lockdowns" that DeSantis opposed.
