National Review: The Corner: The Questionable Case for Judge Cannon’s Recusal
Judge Aileen Cannon, who previously ruled in favour of Donald Trump over an FBI investigation into documents seized from Mar-a-Lago, has been appointed to oversee the Mar-a-Lago boxes case. Critics are demanding she recuse herself from the trial due to the potential for partiality, as her prior rulings showed partiality towards Trump and his executive privilege claims. Some liberals and Democrats are claiming that Judge Cannon is showing Trump differential treatment to any other criminal defendant and argue that she should not be trusted to conduct a fair trial. However, the actual standard for impartiality should be judged by objective observers, not by how much criticism the judge's ideological opponents have been able to organize, and Judge Cannon's previous rulings were premised on the view that Trump had a particular interest in avoiding harm from the invasion of legal privileges and not that he was entitled to more partiality than any other former president.
Fox News: NC attorneys plead guilty in Sheriff Clarke fundraising scam
Two North Carolina attorneys pleaded guilty to creating a fake political action committee to convince former Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke to run for Senate, but most of the $1.6M raised was spent on personal expenses. They also lied to the Federal Election Commission and continued to solicit donations after they knew Clarke wasn't running. The attorneys will be sentenced in September.
Breitbart: Rep. Andy Ogles Introduces Articles of Impeachment Against Biden, Harris
Rep. Andy Ogles (R-TN) has introduced articles of impeachment against President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris. The articles accuse Biden of "weaponizing" the presidency and accuse both Biden and Harris of refusing to protect and defend the Constitution, engaging in criminal activity and political weaponization. The impeachment articles regarding Harris target her performance as vice president and her handling of issues at the southern border.
Red State: Donald Trump Stops at Legendary Cuban Spot Cafe Versailles After Court, Crowd Prays and Sings 'Happy Birthday'
Donald Trump stopped at a famous Cuban restaurant after appearing at the United States District Court in Miami, where he was met with a supportive crowd that sang happy birthday to him and prayed over him. Trump promised "food for everyone" and even took a photo with a Cuban-American MMA fighter, reminding people of his fighting attitude and why they voted for him in the first place.
Flag And Cross: Newsmax Host Shows How Seized Trump Classified Docs Fit Into One Box: 'Something Isn't Adding Up'
Greg Kelly of Newsmax has disputed the establishment media’s reports about the number of classified documents taken from the White House by former President Donald Trump. According to Kelly, the documents that were found to be classified fit in one box with plenty of room to spare, and nothing of any relevance to the government was in any of the boxes. The unsealing of a 38-count indictment against Trump during June 2023 over documents boxes stored in various places at Mar-a-Lago has been labelled by Kelly as an “absolute hoax”.
The American Spectator: Historic Trump Arraignment Puts the Justice Department on Trial
Former President Donald Trump pleaded not guilty in Miami to 37 charges related to classified documents he allegedly kept illegally after leaving the White House. The indictment of a former president for such offences is a surreal first in American history, though important figures making off with classified material unfortunately does not qualify as first. Trump now faces the same punishment as the Want-Ad Killer, which is a preposterous different legal response to the same underlying offense acting as though federal documents belong to oneself. This double standard, representing that many in the in-crowd in fact stand above the law and belong to the club that has its privileges, is not a win for the rule of law.
Some say that Comey, Hillary Clinton, and Joe Biden have all absconded with classified information without legal repercussions. Though Trump now might be sentenced to 400 years in prison, this standard still holds. The double standards juxtaposed are garish and display that many in the in-crowd stand above the law. However, the specifics behind the classified documents Joe Biden stored in his home's garage, office's closet, and points beyond, and the exact nature of the classified material on Hillary Clinton's server eludes us. Nonetheless, while a swamp drainer could offer the same rationalization for keeping classified material that a swamp thing did, this only works for those who belong to the club, where membership has its privileges.
The Epoch Times: IN-DEPTH: Trump Indictment Rests on Untested Legal Theory, Experts Say
Former President Donald Trump has been indicted on charges of obstructing government officials from taking classified documents and holding onto military records without authorization. The legal theory appears to have weak spots that could collapse the entire case if scrutinized in court. The new charges under the Espionage Act raise the question of whether the statute should have been applied to begin with, as former presidents were once allowed to own all of their presidential documents.
Breitbart: WATCH: Ramaswamy Challenges Candidates to Commit to Pardoning Trump
Presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy challenged his fellow candidates to commit to pardoning former President Donald Trump for the federal charges against him on day one, or explain why they won't. Ramaswamy stated that principles were more important than politics and that accountability and honesty were needed for the country. Trump has been indicted as part of an investigation into how he handled White House documents and will appear for his arraignment in court. The outcome of the case is said to be significant, marking either the affirmation of the rule of law or the collapse of the country into a 'banana republic.'
Spectator USA: The grave absurdity of Trump’s Miami arraignment
Trump pleads not guilty to all 37 criminal charges brought against him in the federal arraignment. The handful of eccentric protesters who turned up for the occasion were more pathetic than anything else. The detention of Trump's classified documents and the possible reasons behind it are being questioned. The case will likely end up before the Supreme Court, and the penalties involved could be severe enough to give the class quite a warm feeling.
Fox News: GOP slams ‘Biden Crime Family’ after report says Hunter received ‘extravagant’ gifts from Burisma exec
House Republicans accuse President Biden and his son Hunter of peddling influence in every corner of the globe after bombshell reports of cash and gifts they allegedly received while Hunter sat on the board of Ukrainian energy company Burisma Holdings. Last week, Fox News Digital broke the story that in February 2016, Hunter thanked Burisma President Mykola Zlochevsky for birthday gifts he described as "far too extravagant." Less than two weeks after Hunter expressed gratitude for the birthday gifts from Zlochevsky, the Obama White House released a readout of then-Vice President Biden's call with Ukraine's president at the time, saying Biden "commended President Poroshenko’s decision to replace Prosecutor General Shokin, which paves the way for needed reform of the prosecutorial service."
The House Oversight and Accountability Committee reviewed FBI documents alleging a criminal bribery scheme between the then-vice president and a Burisma executive that involved influence over US policy decisions. The executive appears to be at a "very, very high level" of the company, and the name is redacted. A confidential human source told the FBI during a June 2020 interview that Biden was allegedly paid $5 million by the unnamed Burisma executive, sources said. The FBI has used the same confidential human source as a reliable source of information since 2010 and has been paid approximately $200,000 by the bureau.
Fox News: Fox News Politics: Trump indictment 2.0
Former President Donald Trump faces 37 federal charges related to mishandling national defense information, with some experts considering it a serious legal threat. Following a Manhattan indictment earlier this year, Trump called the latest indictment "election interference" and attacked Special Counsel Jack Smith. The case may be assigned to a Judge Cannon, who is a Trump appointee.
Newsbusters: Morning Joe: Strip Security Clearances From GOP Trump Documents Defenders!
Morning Joe hosts suggest that Republican members of Congress who do not agree with the seriousness of the charges against Donald Trump should have their security clearances stripped. This follows the Trump Justice Department's controversial indictment of a former senior official regarding his handling of classified information. The hosts argue that if these Republicans don't think the indictment is a big deal, then they are unfit to have access to classified information. This suggestion has sparked controversy and calls for criminal charges against these GOP members.
The Federalist Papers: Newsmax Host Shows How Seized Trump Classified Docs Fit Into One Box: 'Something Isn't Adding Up'
Greg Kelly exposes the lies of the establishment media and government's case against former President Donald Trump. Special Counsel Jack Smith's indictment includes photos of boxes with classified documents stored in various places at Mar-a-Lago. However, Kelly demonstrated the truth that nothing of relevance to the government’s supposed case is in any of them and that the number of documents actually fits in one box with plenty of room to spare. The federal government and media are coming after Trump with everything they can collectively muster.
The Federalist: Corrupt Bureaucrats Are Hell-Bent On Keeping FISA Untouched
Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act is being marketed as a means to keep Americans safe from foreign threats. However, it has become a loophole that has enabled corrupt bureaucrats to spy on Americans. Intelligence agencies and establishment legislators are urging Congress to keep Section 702 intact without significant reform. Republicans are harnessing FISA as one of the many ways they could rein in the wayward security state.
Washington Free Beacon: Trump Under Arrest in Miami
Donald Trump faces federal charges for unlawfully keeping national security documents and lying to officials who sought to recover them. Trump and former aide Walt Nauta were booked ahead of an arraignment, scheduled for 3 p.m. EDT (1900 GMT), where they are expected to submit a plea. The hearing was to be closed to cameras and live broadcasts. Supporters wearing Make America Great Again hats and carrying American flags chanted "Miami for Trump" and "Latinos for Trump" as the motorcade paused outside the courthouse. The 37-count indictment includes violations of the Espionage Act and conspiracy to obstruct justice.
The Epoch Times: Solitary Confinement a Political Punishment for Speaking Out, Oath Keepers Founder Says
Oath Keepers founder Elmer Stewart Rhodes III and Florida Oath Keepers leader Kelly Meggs are being held in solitary confinement in the D.C. jail for being outspoken in the media about their seditious-conspiracy convictions related to the Jan. 6 Capitol attack. Rhodes said they were put in “involuntary protective custody" on the orders of Deputy Warden Kathleen Landerkin. Rhodes suspects the solitary confinement is because he has been outspoken in the media. He ultimately blames the Department of Justice (DOJ) for his treatment at the jail and is trying to appeal on the grounds he believes his conviction was for speech protected by the First Amendment.

PJ Media: The White House Isn't So Proud of What Happened at Its Pride Party
Transgender activists stripped off their tops during a Pride event at the White House hosted by Joe Biden; this was deemed inappropriate by a White House spokesperson. Video surfaced of the display, causing many to point out the disconnect between the vulgar display and the administration's narrative. The nudity is not typical behavior at Pride events, but it is hysterical that the White House believes it to be so.
Daily Wire: Johns Hopkins University Says A Woman Is A ‘Non-Man’ In New Glossary
Johns Hopkins University faced backlash for referring to a lesbian as a “non-man attracted to non-men” in its LGBTQ glossary. After criticism, the glossary was taken down for review and replaced with an explanatory statement. The glossary was meant to be an “introduction” to the range of LGBT identities and not as a definitive answer on how people understand or use these terms. Critics have accused transgender activists of erasing women by defining female in reference to male and allowing men into women’s spaces. The definition was reportedly approved by Paula Neira, a trans-identifying man who is the Program Director of LGBTQ+ Equity and Education at Johns Hopkins.
The Blaze: Pro-BLM business that supported autonomous zone 'CHOP' sues Seattle over 'extensive property damage' caused by rioters' 'hostile occupation': Report
Seattle-based ice cream chain Molly Moon's Homemade Ice Cream filed a lawsuit against the city after the formation of the Black Lives Matter autonomous zone. The company argued there was "extensive property damage" because police did not intervene to halt the BLM protests, which led to businesses and residents being unable to access their properties. While the company supports the free speech rights of many of those who gathered on Capitol Hill, it does not seek to undermine CHOP's message. Molly Moon's is seeking an unspecified amount in damages from Seattle for encouraging an indefinite, unpermitted invasion.
Daily Wire: ‘Squirrels Are Now Lesbians’: Ben Shapiro Mocks Johns Hopkins Over ‘Non-Man’ Definition
Johns Hopkins University has removed an LGBTQ glossary, which included a definition of lesbian as a “non-man attracted to non-men" after criticism, including from former Daily Wire editor Ben Shapiro. Shapiro ridiculed the definition, saying it meant that animals such as squirrels and zebras were now lesbians. The definition was intended to make the term more expansive, acknowledging non-binary individuals who may identify with the label. But JK Rowling and other commentators accused the university glossary of erasing women.
The Epoch Times: Drag Queen Summer Camp for Kids Comes to Government-Funded Winnipeg Theatre
A Winnipeg theater is hosting a summer camp for children aged 13 to 18 to learn how to become Drag Queens, funded by the government, while similar events for kids have been organized across Canada and the US, including Seattle and Vancouver. Critics point to gender ideology and sexual confusion being promoted to kids as young as 7 by these camps. While some Canadian entities, including the Heritage Ministry, have expressed their support for the camps publicly, questions on the suitability of such events for children have yet to be answered by the relevant parties.

Breitbart: Sanctions Fail: Pakistan Buys Cheap Russian Oil with Chinese Currency
Pakistan has purchased a large amount of Russian crude oil using the Chinese yuan as currency, a move seen as a win for a struggling government. Russia's oil industry has been hit by Western sanctions following the country's invasion and colonisation of Ukraine, leading to other Asian countries such as India, China and Saudi Arabia buying the oil at an advantageous price. The US-led charge to sanction Russia for its actions has been resisted by some countries, with the BRICS trade and security coalition, including Russia, Brazil, India, China and South Africa, promoting the yuan as an alternative to the US dollar.

Breitbart: China Celebrates 'Honeymoon' with Saudi Arabia After Biden Alienates Riyadh
Saudi Arabia and China have strengthened their relationship during a "honeymoon" period following the deterioration of US-Saudi relations under President Biden. The two countries held a trade conference in Saudi Arabia, resulting in $10 billion of deals being made. This weekend's event took place less than a week after Biden's top diplomat, Secretary of State Antony Blinken, met with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. Reports prior to Chinese dictator Xi Jinping's visit to Saudi Arabia, where agreements worth at least $29 billion were expected to be signed, indicated that the countries were hoping to solidify Chinese involvement in Arab economies. The blossoming ties between the two nations are concerning, as China continues to execute a years-long campaign of genocide against Muslim populations in occupied East Turkistan.

The Epoch Times: Canada’s Carbon Pricing Poses a $256 Billion Financial Risk, Study Finds
A study by the University of Waterloo warns of the financial risks Canada's carbon pricing scheme poses to the resource sector, with high-emitting industries such as mining and energy facing the greatest risk of default. Total assets of $256bn may be placed in jeopardy, and almost a quarter of Canada's GDP may be exposed. The researchers called on lenders to analyse carbon pricing and emissions in credit risk procedures and said real and shadow carbon prices must be considered in credit risk assessments to determine an appropriate interest rate for loans. The Conservative Party and the Canadian Taxpayers Federation opposed the additional carbon tax, while the Liberal Party said the federal levy would create jobs and protect the environment.

Flag And Cross: WEF’s Terrifying New Mission: Calls for AI to Write 'Unifying New Bible,' Create Religions ‘That Are Actually Correct’
The World Economic Forum's senior advisor, Yuval Noah Harari, proposed the idea of creating a new bible using AI to establish unified and "correct" religions, which has sparked concerns and objections from conservative and Christian groups. Harari believes AI has the capability to generate new ideas that distinguish it from previous technological advancements. However, Christians argue that the Bible is a deeply personal and profound experience rooted in the human pursuit of meaning and a connection with the one true God, cautioning against reducing religious teachings to mere information that can be manipulated or replaced by AI. Christians advocate for preserving the integrity and authority of religious texts and traditions, while globalists seek to dismantle what they perceive as antiquated traditions in favor of more progressive and inclusive ideas.

The Epoch Times: IN-DEPTH: GoFundMe Hosts Sex-Change Surgery Fundraisers for Minors
Children are using GoFundMe to ask for donations to fund sex-change surgery, breast amputations, and other procedures related to transitioning. Minors as young as 16 are raising money on the platform, and some fundraising pages lack age identification. While some pages have received thousands of dollars in donations, others have received none. Critics argue that children are too young to make such permanent decisions and that the effects of such procedures are often irreversible. GoFundMe has also raised criticism for freezing a fundraiser that raised $5 million for Canadian truckers protesting vaccine mandates.

Daily Wire: Ted Cruz Grills Mark Zuckerberg Over Alleged Instagram Pedophile Network
Texas Senator Ted Cruz has written to Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg asking questions about Instagram's alleged hosting of a "vast pedophile network." The move comes after a report last week alleging that the social media firm allowed accounts to openly purchase and commission "underage-sex content." Instagram's parent company Meta dismissed the allegations, stating that it was "continuously investigating ways to actively defend against this behavior." Cruz, who is the ranking member on the Senate Commerce Committee, has previously called for an investigation into tech giants' treatment of conservative content.

The Epoch Times: Reddit Goes Offline Amid Mass Community Protests Over New Pricing Policy
Social platform Reddit experienced an outage on June 12 following protests of the company’s new API pricing policy, which charges web developers for access to the site’s backend interface. Despite subreddits and users planning to continue the protests for 48 hours, the issue was resolved as of 1:26 p.m. Eastern time. Some developers had feared the API charges would force them to shut down. A few third-party apps will be exempt from the new policy, which is scheduled to come into effect on 1 July.
Subreddits choosing to remain black include r/iPhone, whose owners claim Reddit has lied and behaved with malice, with CEO Steve Huffman accusing the developer of one popular third-party app of attempts to blackmail Reddit after making an unsuccessful offer to sell it Apollo. The API pricing changes are due ahead of Reddit’s IPO, which is scheduled for later this year. Huffman has stated that the policy changes are in part due to the site’s need to be ”self-sustaining” moving forward.
