Former President Donald Trump has secured new attorneys, Christopher Kise and Todd Blanche, to represent him in the 37 federal felony counts against him as part of Special Counsel Jack Smith's investigation into his mishandling of White House documents. Kise filed a motion, stating that he and Blanche would represent Trump at trial, all proceedings in the District Court, and on appeal. Trump's previous attorneys, James Trusty and John Rowley, abruptly quit on Friday after the federal government unsealed the 49-page indictment. Trump blasted Smith and his "CORRUPT Injustice Department" in a statement on Truth Social ahead of his court appearance on Tuesday in Miami.
Fox News: IRS banned from buying guns, ammo with taxpayer funds under new bill from Sen. Ernst
Sen. Joni Ernst introduced a bill to prevent the IRS from using taxpayer money to arm its agents. The "Why Does the IRS Have Guns Act" would require that all guns and ammo currently owned by the IRS be auctioned off to support federal deficit reduction. The bill also calls for relocating the IRS Criminal Investigation Division. The IRS reportedly spent $10 million on weapons and gear since the start of the pandemic, including $2.3 million on ammunition, $1.2 million on ballistic shields, and $474,000 on rifles. The agency has spent $35.2 million on guns, ammunition, and military-style equipment since 2006.
Daily Wire: The Daily White House Press Briefing Has Become A Yuckfest
White House press corps attending daily briefings appear to be endlessly amused while the country faces conflict, inflation, crime, drug abuse, mental health issues, illegal immigration, poverty, and homelessness. During one briefing, reporters joked about a group of lawmakers who must be notified of intelligence activities undertaken by the president, drawing laughter from colleagues. Another reporter made futile attempts to get information from John Kirby, spokesperson for the National Security Council, about the Trump case, leading to laughter and frivolity from the reporters. The briefing ended with reporters discussing the president's health and making witty jokes about his root canal procedure.

The Epoch Times: China's Yuan Breaks Key Level of 7 Against US Dollar as Exports Tumble
China's exports fell in May, causing the yuan to depreciate further. Financial experts predict that the yuan will "break 7" more frequently in the future due to weak exports and money printing to save the economy. This trend will impact imports, with prices of products such as chips, medical equipment, and raw materials going up and negatively impacting the economy. Maintaining a mandatory exchange rate and manipulating the exchange rate will bring negative consequences to the Chinese economy, and it will be difficult for China to maintain the exchange rate due to the lack of foreign exchange reserves.

Fox News: Our military recruitment crisis robs today's young adults of these life changing opportunities
The US military is experiencing its worst recruitment period on record due to a smaller pool of young people qualified to serve, declining public confidence, and low unemployment. The Army missed its 2022 recruitment goals by 25% and things look bleak for 2023. This is a dangerous situation for national security and means many young Americans are missing out on life-changing opportunities. Military service is a reliable means for young people to transcend their circumstances and build a better life, offering a proven path for upward mobility and developing critical skills.
However, societal expectations for attending college immediately after high school mean guidance counselors may not highlight the benefits of military service, instead pushing 62% of high school seniors to college. This lack of education on military opportunities, combined with a stigma around alternatives to college, perpetuates a lack of understanding and appreciation for the military. To fix this trend, the US should reacquaint its citizens with the military, highlighting it as a noble pursuit and recognizing military service for producing more resilient, capable young men and women.

The Epoch Times: 5 Ways to Avoid Gallstones Naturally
Around 15% of Americans have gallstones, which can cause serious complications such as bile duct infections, pancreatitis, heart disease and an increased risk of cancer. Conventional medicine often opts to remove the gallbladder, but there are non-invasive methods available. Risk factors include obesity, inactivity, certain medications and some genetic factors. Vitamin C, omega-3 fatty acids, SAMe, curcumin and EGCG from green tea can all help reduce the risk of developing gallstones, but consult an integrative physician before adding supplements to your diet. A Mediterranean diet, including plenty of fiber-rich fresh fruit and vegetables and healthy amounts of monounsaturated fats, can also help. Exercise can lower the risk by up to 25%.
