Fox News: Burisma audio tapes could be 'cataclysmic event' for President Biden, Matt Whitaker says
Senator Chuck Grassley claims that a Burisma executive who allegedly paid Biden for a bribery scheme had audio recordings of his conversations with the family as an "insurance policy," according to an FBI document that the Bureau briefed congressional lawmakers on. On Fox & Friends, former Acting Attorney General Matt Whitaker called the development "explosive." If the contents of the recordings are true, they could prove what Joe Biden knew and his scheme to abuse his power as Vice President. The FD-1023 form is dated June 30, 2020, and is the FBI's interview with a highly credible confidential source who detailed multiple meetings and conversations with a top Burisma executive over several years.
National Review: The Corner: Americans for Prosperity Action Unloads on the Biden–Trump Duopoly
Americans for Prosperity Action, a libertarian-leaning super PAC, is targeting early primary and caucus states with digital ads arguing that a Trump nomination helps Biden, hurts Republicans, and locks most Americans out of having a choice they might actually want. In short and blunt ads, they argue that Trump is too unpopular to win again.
Red State: Paul Ryan Takes a Shot at Ron DeSantis in No-Lessons-Learned Commentary
Paul Ryan opposes fighting culture wars and focuses on big policy problems such as the debt crisis and China. He dismisses transgender issues as less important and too polarizing. However, winning the culture is just as important in building a country worth living in. There is no evidence that Ryan is orchestrating Ron DeSantis' presidential campaign. They have not spoken since DeSantis left Congress. DeSantis focuses on cultural issues while Ryan denounces them. One side of the GOP has already won the debate and will accomplish something while Ryan does press hits.

The Epoch Times: UK Judges to Be Given More Powers to Throw out Strategic Lawsuits
The UK government has tabled amendments to the Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Bill, granting judges in England and Wales more power to dismiss libel or privacy lawsuits associated with economic crimes that gag journalists. The legislation defines for the first time strategic lawsuits against public participation (SLAPPs), described as an attempt to suppress freedom of speech, behaviour causing distress or expense to the recipient, and action against stories that are in the public interest in tackling economic crime. The announcement is expected to be welcomed by the National Union of Journalists and legislation will include caps on legal costs to prevent SLAPPs from being “financially ruinous”.
The Epoch Times: China's 'New Cultural Mission' Aims to Spread 'Communist Totalitarianism,' Analysts Warn
Critics have condemned Chinese state media's promotion of a "new cultural mission" to create a "modern version" of China as a means of spreading Communist ideologies to other countries. During a meeting on "Cultural Inheritance and Development" on 2 June, Chinese Communist Party leader Xi Jinping argued that Chinese culture and Marxism were "highly compatible". While Xinhua News has described the "new cultural mission" as a means of making China a global cultural force, critics have accused it of being misleading and concealing the destruction of China's traditional culture during Mao Zedong's Cultural Revolution in the 1960s and 70s. Some also fear that the regime aims to spread communism abroad via its initiative.
Critics have branded the Cultural Revolution-era destruction of capitalism and traditional Chinese cultural elements and the persecution of societal elites and scholars as catastrophic and are sceptical about Xi's attempt to reconcile Marxism and traditional Chinese culture. Yuan Hongbing, an Australia-based China expert, described the attempt to merge the two as both a cultural and political "scam" that is being used to perpetrate cultural genocide against various ethnic groups in China. Analysts have also expressed concerns that the CCP is attempting to exert more Communist control over different religions in China by pushing the ruling party's philosophies under the disguise of religious beliefs.
National Review: Transgender Influencer Goes Topless at White House Pride Celebration
Transgender influencer Rose Montoya posed topless at the White House Pride celebration, where President Biden and First Lady Jill Biden delivered speeches celebrating LGBT Americans. Montoya, a model and TikTok content creator, shook prosthetic breasts and cheered as the Pride and American flags were displayed on the balcony behind her. A transgender female, who had her breasts surgically removed, also posed topless next to Montoya. Montoya defended the display, saying going topless in DC is legal and that people like to sexualize women's bodies. Critics also accused Biden of violating U.S. Flag Code by displaying the Pride flag to the right of the American flag.
Newsbusters: Gallup Poll: Most Americans Don't Want Men in Women's Sports, Up from 2021
A recent Gallup poll found that 69% of Americans believe athletes should compete only on teams that align with their birth gender, up from 62% two years ago. 26% believe transgender athletes should not be allowed to play on teams matching their gender identity, down from 34% in 2021. The rise in transgender athletes negatively affecting sports, particularly women's teams, likely contributed to this trend. Even when asked if their views would change if they knew someone who was transgender, 64% still believe athletes should not switch teams and 55% believed it was morally wrong to "switch" genders.

Fox News: US mulls sending top-shelf depleted uranium tank rounds to Ukraine
The U.S. will send depleted-uranium shells, along with 31 M1A2 Abrams tanks, to Ukraine later this year, despite concerns about health and environmental effects of the shells. Depleted-uranium shells are not radioactive but can cause after-effects if shrapnel is embedded in flesh.

Foreign Policy: Modi Can’t Look Away From Manipur
The Indian state of Manipur is currently experiencing violence between two ethnic groups, resulting in over 130 deaths and 60,000 people displaced from their homes. The conflict is complicated by the fact that the state government appears to favor one group over the other, leading to a widening rift between the two communities. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has not taken any political steps to resolve the situation, treating it as a security problem, which risks hardening ethnic divisions and potentially undermining connectivity projects with nearby Southeast Asia. The violence in Manipur has the potential to ignite a larger conflict in the region, and Modi's direct political intervention is needed to prevent further escalation.

The Epoch Times: Netherlands to Screen Foreign Doctoral Students in Tech Fields, Citing Security Risks
The Netherlands is considering legislation to screen international doctoral students in technical professions due to possible security risks. The law would apply to all non-European Union students. Dutch universities are hesitant to accept doctoral students with scholarships subsidized by the Chinese government, with knowledge security listed as the main reason.

Dutch companies, knowledge institutions, and scientists are regularly targeted by China through illegal espionage, insiders, and covert investments, according to the Dutch intelligence agency.

Flag And Cross: Unraveling The Money-Happiness Myth: Insights From Yale's 'Science Of Well-Being' Course
Yale Professor Laurie Santos teaches an online course called "The Science of Well-Being", which addresses whether money can buy happiness. Despite studies showing that wealth can improve happiness, Santos argues that wealth has a small impact on overall happiness compared to practices such as meditation and spending time with family and friends. Santos suggests that mindfulness about the experiences that accompany purchases, such as spending on experiences rather than material items, can increase happiness. The student who took the class, CNBC contributor Dave Schools, changed his spending habits to invest in new skills and spending time with others.
The Epoch Times: Three out of Four Men Ignore Medical Issues Rather Than Seek Help: Survey
A survey conducted by Australian online health platform, Mosh, has found that 75% of respondents dismiss medical issues instead of discussing them with their doctors, while nearly half said they had kept a health issue from their family and GP. Of those surveyed, 72% reported embarrassment regarding a health condition which was particularly high among issues such as hair loss and mental health. The study found that most men don't have regular GP’s, and that convenience is the biggest barrier to going to the doctor. Men who were concerned about their alcohol and drug consumption often set sustainable goals by trying zero-alcohol beverages or by reaching out for support. A previously released Monash University study found that “maintaining friendship groups and social networks was a significant factor in reducing and managing depression in men".

The inquiry will investigate the UK's preparedness for a pandemic, how the government responded, and what lessons can be learned for the future.

The American Mind: Cabin Fever
The Unabomber, Theodore John Kaczynski, was a math genius who went on a 20-year bombing terror campaign that killed 3 people and injured 23. Kaczynski grew increasingly anti-industrialization and anti-technology, and published his 35,000-word manifesto which called for destabilizing society and fomenting a worldwide anti-industrial revolution. Despite his hatred of technology, he was a beneficiary of the most advanced civilization, and his dream of a revolution required a core dedicated minority that would keep the majority inculcated in a nature ideology while destabilizing technologically advanced society at every opportunity. He was jailed for his crimes, but maintained influence over a subculture of dedicated admirers.

The Epoch Times: Softball and Wildfires
Softball and wildfires may seem like an unlikely pair, but they are forever linked in the memories of one family. The University of Oklahoma Sooner's softball team won their third consecutive national title, finishing the season on a 53-game win streak, while air quality was so bad from wildfires in Canada that major league baseball games were canceled in cities like New York and Philadelphia. Coaching softball and winning the Pennsylvania 12-and-under state championship came at a price to the family, who could not go on their dream vacation due to the devastating wildfire at Yellowstone in August 1988. NCAA softball is for those who appreciate tense, close, well-played games that don't take more than an hour or so. Oklahoma leads the nation in batting, fielding, and pitching and deserved their well-earned championship. The wildfires in the United States are due to poor forest management, which can be prevented with more intelligent forest management today.

The Epoch Times: AI for the Win: A Dissenting Perspective
The AI language model ChatGPT has caused alarm about the potential dangers of AI, including job losses, disinformation campaigns, and oppression by authoritarian regimes.

Machines can only predict correlations and not distinguish causality from correlation. In addition, AI cannot grasp abstract concepts. There is also concern about the adoption of AI for political oppression. However, AI can potentially empower dissidents against a power monopoly, as it has the potential to even the playing field.
