The Epoch Times: Only the Acuity of the Common Man Can Save Liberal Democracy From Itself
The Canadian government has been accused of covering up foreign interference in the 2021 federal elections by the People's Republic of China. Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre claimed that intelligence services had warned the prime minister about election interference by foreign powers for years but that he had covered it up, and CBC News stated that no investigations were underway. Despite demands for a public inquiry into the matter, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau appointed a long-time family friend, David Johnston, as an "independent rapporteur." Johnston came under fire for depending on a loyal Liberal Party donor for assistance and claiming that the PM, cabinet, and government officials were blameless. The PM argued that since Johnston was appointed by former Prime Minister Stephen Harper, the former governor general was a perfect choice to conduct a neutral investigation. However, Johnston's investigation has been deemed a "fake job" that he is incapable of doing impartially, and calls for a public inquiry persist.
National Review: Donald Trump Is a Waste of the Right’s Political Energy
Donald Trump's continued political career wastes the conservative movement's resources. Energy, time, money, airtime, and attention are all finite resources in politics, and they are being diverted away from important causes to cater to Trump's personal interests. Trump has accomplished some things, but his poor impulse control has led to unnecessary scandals, causing his approval ratings to plummet and putting Republicans in a bad position. Trump's legal cases will waste even more resources, including donor money, and make him a divisive figure in the party and movement. It's time for the conservative movement to move on from Trump and focus on important issues.
Breitbart: Poll: 80% of GOP Says Trump Should Be Able to Serve Again if Convicted

Newsbusters: Who Will Take Over George Soros’ Radical Empire? His ‘More Political’ Heir
Alexander Soros, the heir to George Soros' empire, plans to continue his father's liberal agenda by backing left-leaning US politicians, focusing on voting and abortion rights and gender equity, according to The Wall Street Journal. Alexander Soros has already supported many leftist causes through his foundation and played a leadership role at Open Society Foundations, which donated more than $17m to the leftist activist group Global Witness between 2016 and 2020, according to records. He is also listed as the founding chair of the radical group Bend the Arc: Jewish Action, which denigrates the Republican Party as plagued by white supremacy and anti-Semitism.
Washington Free Beacon: Energy Sec's Husband Held Stock in Ford as Admin Approved Billions in Electric Vehicle Subsidies
Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm's husband held stock in Ford as the Biden administration promoted the company and approved electric vehicle subsidies worth hundreds of billions of dollars. Granholm admitted in a letter that she failed to disclose her husband's financial holdings initially, which would have raised conflict of interest concerns. Wyoming Republican John Barrasso criticized Granholm for her "failure to follow basic ethics and disclosure rules."
The Epoch Times: Trump Says He Will Endorse Mark Robinson for North Carolina Governor
Donald Trump spoke at a GOP event in North Carolina, expressing his support for Lieutenant Governor Mark Robinson in his bid for governor. Robinson is the state's first black lieutenant governor and aims to become its first black governor. Former Rep. Mark Walker is also running for the Republican nomination, but Trump's support for Robinson is expected to give him an edge. Democrats criticized Trump's involvement in the race, with campaign spokesperson Kate Frauenfelder calling it "chaos" for the messy Republican primary.
Daily Wire: Why Creating A New Society Requires Wrecking The Old Society
Contradictions have become the norm in the political world, but Mao explained how contradiction drives social change. Mao believed that creating a new society requires wrecking the old one and that there's no construction without destruction. This weekend, under the cover of darkness, the city of Albany removed a statue of Revolutionary War hero and U.S. senator Philip Schuyler and replaced it with a Pride flag, which was strategically placed to send a message. The removal of historical figures and symbols is part of a larger plan to erase our shared history and replace it with a new ideology. The longer sane people stay quiet and watch as all this happens, the more likely it is that we're going to find out what it takes to stop this revolution.
Breitbart: GOP Lawmakers: FBI Informant File Confirms Joe Biden Is the 'Big Guy'
Republican lawmakers confirmed that Joe Biden is the "big guy," an alias revealing his dealings with a Chinese entity. The House Oversight Committee reviewed an FBI informant file stating that the owner of Ukrainian energy company Burisma referred to Joe Biden as the "big guy" in relation to a $5 million payment Joe Biden allegedly received after withholding aid to Ukraine until a prosecutor probing Burisma was fired.
National Review: The Corner: Michigan Democrats Vote to Give Public Employees’ Personal Information to Unions
Michigan Senate Democrats have passed a bill to require public employers to provide unions with employees’ personal data including full names, home and email addresses, personal phone numbers and wages, ignoring Janus' ruling that public employees cannot be forced to join a union and pay dues. The bill, which passed along party lines, does not allow individuals to opt-out of sharing their information, increasing the potential for abuse, while the data will be used for political purposes with the strong connection between union members and the Democrats. The bill is also risky for individuals fleeing stalkers or abusers and those who had gone through bad divorces.
The Economist: The South is fast becoming America’s industrial heartland
The South, not the Midwest, is becoming America's new industrial heartland thanks to a surge in investment largely due to Joe Biden's industrial policies, with much of it centered around building electric vehicles (EVs). Southern states are luring more firms across a range of industries with advantages like cheaper power and a bigger pool of potential labor, and investments from Biden's policies are not just going to cherry-picked Democratic states, with more than 80% of EV investments going to Republican-controlled districts so far. Meanwhile, the Supreme Court has ruled that Alabama's electoral map is discriminatory on the heels of widespread criticism of the state's recent voting laws.

Red State: WATCH: Kevin McCarthy Absolutely Decimates a CNN Reporter Over the Network's Hypocrisy
House Speaker Kevin McCarthy clashed with a CNN reporter on Capitol Hill, accusing the network of hypocrisy for employing former FBI agent Andrew McCabe after he leaked classified documents. McCarthy argued that if CNN can hire McCabe, who was accused of lying to FBI agents, then it's not out of bounds for him to defend former President Donald Trump from the weaponization of the legal system. McCarthy also called out CNN for employing James Clapper, whom he accused of lying to the American public, and argued that weaponizing networks is wrong.

Newsbusters: Calif. Moves to Provide Surrogacy Treatment for Gays in the Name of 'Fertility Equality'
California wants to require insurance to cover surrogacy for gay and lesbian couples. The amendment to SB-729 indicates fertility services for anyone, not just those who have medical trouble conceiving, raising premiums over $330 million per year. Pro-lifers who have been called "forced birthers" are criticizing the plan and saying it erodes the traditional family unit. The bill would have people pay for something called "fertility equality" which isn't truly equal as it doesn't consider biological differences. The organization "Men Having Babies" shares the idea that same-sex couples and singles feel the anguish of infertility just as much as heterosexual couples, but surrogacy is not the answer for what God or science designed.
The Blaze: Pro-LGBTQ mayor says freedom of speech doesn't apply to man arrested after trying to quote Bible at Pride rally
Damon Atkins was arrested in Pennsylvania earlier this month after attempting to quote the Bible to Pride-rally attendees. Although Berks County District Attorney's Office dropped the charges against Atkins for "disorderly conduct", Reading Mayor, Eddie Moran said freedom of speech doesn't apply as it doesn't include interrupting an organized event. Adam Steinbaugh from the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression argued that Atkins "should never have been in handcuffs in the first place, and the city needs to take measures to correct its officer’s misconduct and ensure that its officers will not violate the First Amendment in the future.”

Daily Wire: Kellogg’s ‘Tony The Tiger’ Poses With Dylan Mulvaney At Awards Show And Twitter Has Thoughts
Tony the Tiger, the mascot for Kellogg’s Frosted Flakes cereal, appeared at the 76th Tony Awards with trans-identifying male activist Dylan Mulvaney, causing social media to react with many suggesting Kellogg’s may be the next company to go “woke.” Mulvaney’s partnership with Bud Light led to a $27 billion drop in market value for the company by the end of May. The LGBT agenda promoted by Kellogg’s, including a “Spirit Day” box aimed at children aged five to nine, has also been criticized on social media. Some Twitter users vowed to boycott the company, while others said they would continue to purchase the cereal.

National Review: Eat, Pray, Love Author Cancels Publication of her New Book on Account of its Setting in Russia

The novel details a group of characters who resist the Soviet government in Siberia in the last century and try to defend nature against industrialisation.

The decision to cancel the book has reignited the debate over whether Russians should be deplatformed in the West due to the Ukrainian-Russian conflict.

The Epoch Times: James Walker’s ‘The Battle of Lookout Mountain’
A massive painting titled “Battle of Lookout Mountain” was completed by artist James Walker in 1874, commissioned by Union General Joseph Hooker. After Hooker passed away in 1879, the painting traveled very little before it was put away in storage and forgotten about. It was not rediscovered until the National Park Service discovered it in the 1980s and it was unveiled to the public in 1986 after it was cleaned and restored.

Washington Free Beacon: How the Biden Admin's Refusal to Cover New Alzheimer's Drugs Hurts 'Underserved' Americans and Costs Taxpayers Billions
The Biden administration is refusing Medicare coverage for an FDA-approved Alzheimer's treatment that reduces cognitive decline by 27 percent, leading to significant costs to taxpayers and preventing low-income patients from accessing the drug. Critics argue that the administration's decision is creating "barriers to care" for patients and contradicting its own commitment to "health equity," particularly for rural and underserved communities who often cannot participate in clinical trials, where the drug can currently be accessed. A University of Chicago study argues that the coverage restriction could cost Americans up to $546 billion in public and private spending, including on additional health care spending that Medicare does cover when patients deteriorate without the drug.

Mikki Willis' documentary "Plandemic" and its sequel have been viewed over 1 billion and 200 million times respectively, despite being censored.

"Plandemic Part 3" will delve into the history behind this plan and how we can rebuild society after it falls apart.

Breitbart: Marc Andreessen: AI 'Doomers' Are Misguided, China Is the Real Threat
Renowned venture capitalist Marc Andreessen has dismissed fears of artificial intelligence (AI) becoming an existential threat to humanity. In an essay, he emphasized China’s rapid AI development as the cause for concern rather than AI itself. Andreessen suggests that the "wall of fear-mongering and doomerism" around AI is motivated by financial interests, and encourages AI companies to develop AI as aggressively as possible to counter China's AI influence. He also states that AI companies should use AI itself to shield people from bias and negative effects. Andreessen asserts that AI has the potential to make everything better, from curing diseases to achieving interstellar travel.
