Musk commented that the core of comedy is to reveal the truth, which they cannot do without their unspoken truth. Musk has been criticised by liberal media and journalists for his social media jokes. The Babylon Bee has also been criticised for its humorous approach to confronting leftist politics, culture and religion. Elon Musk criticised NPR for not "pulling their punches" when critiquing the government, citing their heavy dependence on government funding.
The Epoch Times: Labour MP Has Whip Suspended After 'Incredibly Serious' Allegations
Labour MP Geraint Davies has been suspended from the party while allegations of "unacceptable behaviour" towards younger women are investigated. The Swansea West MP will lose his whip in Westminster while a review is carried out following allegations made on the website Politico that he made inappropriate remarks to two female MPs.

Red State: Kirby's Responses on Spy Balloon and China Raise Even More Questions About Biden Being Compromised
The Biden team refuses to clarify the investigation into a Chinese spy balloon that flew across critical military installations. National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby said no investigation is going on, contradicting the FBI's statement. The Biden team's soft stance on China is concerning, where they refuse to call out China for spying on the US or its role in fentanyl production. Kirby refused to call China or Russia "evil," which is the worst possible thing to do regarding China, which respects strength. It raises the question of whether Joe Biden is ignorant or compromised.
Fox News: Federal judge in Texas blocks Biden ATF pistol brace rule on day of deadline to register weapons
A federal judge in Texas blocked President Biden's new regulations on pistols with stabilizing braces in response to a lawsuit from gun rights activists. Judge Drew B. Tipton of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas granted a preliminary injunction against the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) partially preventing the agency from enforcing its new stabilizing-brace rule. The stabilizing brace rule was introduced as part of the comprehensive gun crime strategy Biden announced in April 2021 in response to the massacre at a grocery store in Boulder, Colorado.

Fox News: HBCUs see increase in donations, partially from corporate contributions
Historically Black colleges and universities in the US have seen an increase in donations from corporations and corporate foundations in recent years. Gift-giving to such institutions is a new trend for corporations and is partly due to a new campaign for racial justice spurred by George Floyd's killing. Some companies have also been influenced by black employees, such as the African American employee resource group for Diageo North America, which helped create a $12m programme for 29 schools for HBCUs. HBCUs have typically had lower levels of public funding and fewer endowments than other universities, making corporate donations particularly vital for their growth and impact in the wider community.

Disney has been accused of trying to indoctrinate children into the woke LGBT ideology through films and shows aimed at children that feature LGBT content, which combined with the male "fairy godmother" has caused further concern amongst some people.

The Epoch Times: Euro Steadies Near 2-month Low as Inflation Drops in Relief for ECB
Eurozone inflation eased more than expected, reaching 6.1% in May from 7% in April, undercutting expectations for 6.3%, putting pressure on the European Central Bank (ECB) to limit future rate hikes. The euro flattened at $1.0690, towards a two-month low of $1.0635, since inflation showed signs of subsiding. The ECB has raised base rates by a combined 375 basis points to 3.25% over the past year to combat runaway prices.
The dollar rose after a U.S. House of Representatives vote to suspend the $31.4tn debt ceiling, though the greenback lost momentum, falling from a two-month high, as investors reduced bets the Federal Reserve will raise interest rates this month. The bill will now be scrutinised in a Democratic-led Senate, days before the federal government is expected to run out of money to pay bills. The dollar index rose 0.13% to 104.28, and was off the two-month high of 104.7 by traders reacting to pared-back expectations of another Fed rate hike this month.
Spectator USA: How Budweiser forgot the secret of its own success
Bud Light is the most successful low-calorie beer, conveying a sense of irony that appeals to American consumers. However, their decision to partner with trans influencer Dylan Mulvaney in a marketing stunt blew up in their faces, leading to mass boycotts and a sharp decrease in sales. Budweiser forgot the secret of their success - realizing that working-class Americans would embrace a diet beer and pitch it as a no-nonsense drink for men. The Mulvaney stunt could be remembered as one of the worst marketing missteps in history, as it tapped into a social force that is now far more potent than blue-collar irony: the blue-collar culture war.

National Review: Pentagon Cancels Drag Show at Nevada Air Force Base as Pride Month Begins
The Defense Department has canceled a drag show celebrating Pride Month at Nellis Air Force Base, citing it as an inappropriate use of a military base. Though the show had been approved by Air Force leaders, senior Defense leadership intervened, claiming that funding drag shows is not Pentagon policy. The decision came after Representative Matt Gaetz questioned Austin and Milley about drag queen story hour events being hosted at bases worldwide, to which both officials responded that the Department of Defense does not fund such events.

The Epoch Times: German Prosecutors Say They'll Examine Objects Found in McCann Search in Portugal
German prosecutors are examining objects found in a search in Portugal for clues about the disappearance of British girl Madeleine McCann in 2007, but can't yet say whether they are linked to the case. The search was initiated by German prosecutors in connection with their investigation of a German man, Christian Brueckner, as a suspect in the case. Brueckner is serving a prison sentence in Germany for raping a woman in Portugal in 2005 and is being investigated on suspicion of murder in the McCann case, although he hasn't been charged.

Fox News: 'Felt like a year': Victims describe deadly shooting in trial for gunman who attacked a Pittsburgh synagogue
Carol Black, a survivor of the Tree of Life synagogue shooting in Pittsburgh in October 2018, testified in court about how she hid in a storage room during the attack. Black remained calm even as she watched fellow congregant Mel Wax die after opening the storage door, and didn't learn until later that her brother, Richard Gottfried, was among the 11 people killed in the attack. The shooter, Robert Bowers, is facing trial on 63 counts, including hate crimes and murder. Bowers' lawyer is questioning the hate crime charges, suggesting he attacked the synagogue due to an irrational belief that he needed to kill Jews to save others from a genocide he claimed they were enabling by helping immigrants.

Forbes: Unraveling The Riddle Of Braves’ Starting Pitcher Bryce Elder
Braves pitcher Bryce Elder has been a surprising standout this season, with an ERA of 1.92 and an 11-start, no-loss record, despite allowing a lot of loud contact. He was not projected as a great prospect, but showed promise in a minor league audition before his impressive MLB performances. Elder's contact management skills are above average despite the loud exit speeds he allows, with a 57.6% grounder rate being especially noteworthy. He could improve further by using his four-seam fastball more, which has already shown elite potential.

The Epoch Times: Amazon Reaches $30.8 Million Settlement in FTC Complaints Over Ring Doorbell Surveillance, Use of Children’s Voice Recordings
Amazon has agreed to pay out $30.8m to settle two cases, one involving Ring, its doorbell video camera unit, and the other relating to data gathered through the Alexa app. The Federal Trade Commission accused Ring of failing to monitor employees and third-party staff who accessed customers’ videos, with one employee claimed to have viewed thousands of recordings, including those taken in intimate areas. Ring, purchased by Amazon in 2018, will delete all data derived from illegal reviewing of videos.

American Thinker: Digging to America? China is digging the world's deepest hole
China has started drilling a 10,000-meter borehole into the Earth's crust in its oil-rich Xinjiang region. The hole will pass 10 continental strata, or layers of rock, and reach the cretaceous system in the Earth's crust, which features rock dating back some 145 million years. The hole will yield information that could determine earthquakes and volcanic eruptions; locate critical mineral and energy resources; and yield complete energy independence for China if deep oil is extracted. The Chinese are also looking for rare-earth minerals for sale in the US. China's investment in engineering is pushing it ahead.
