Front Page Magazine: Indictments and Double Standards
Former President Donald Trump is facing charges for possessing classified documents at Mar-a-Lago, while President Biden admitted having classified documents within his personal space without FBI intervention. FBI’s selective prosecution of Trump and turning a blind eye towards Biden’s potential wrongdoing erode trust in the justice system. The forthcoming documentation of the FBI may reveal more about Joe Biden's questionable dealings with Burisma, revolving around a possible $5 million donation. This partisan favoritism perpetuates a culture of corruption and hypocrisy.
PJ Media: Fighting Woke
Activist and documentary filmmaker Chris Rufo is a trustee at a Florida college and has worked to end leftist indoctrination tactics. His critics accuse him of making things up and of being authoritarian, but he insists he is simply fighting for common sense restrictions in public schools to prevent the teaching of race hatred. Florida has since banned all public universities from funding DEI programs and from claiming systemic racism is inherent in the United States, but this move has been deemed unconstitutional by free speech group FIRE. Rufo believes in choice, and that democracy is why politics exist, but that should mean the power is returned to the parents, rather than politicians.
Townhall: CNN Can't Find a Biden Scandal
The media is ignoring Biden's scandals, including the investigations into Hunter Biden and Burisma. CNN, despite their obsession with investigating Trump, are not giving the same attention to the Biden family. They brush off their lack of coverage while comparing Trump to dictators and communist leaders. Only one reporter on CNN spoke out about the lethargy at the Justice Department regarding the Hunter Biden probe.
Breitbart: Hawley Asks Energy Sec. Granholm: Why Did You Lie to Congress About Holding Stocks?
Senator Josh Hawley is accusing Energy Department Secretary Jennifer Granholm of lying to Congress when she claimed she did not hold individual stocks, which was proven false when she and her husband were found to have held stocks in companies that her department oversees. Granholm only confessed to having held these stocks in May of this year, despite testifying that she held only mutual funds. Hawley is now demanding that Granholm hand over a complete list of her individual stock transactions over the past 10 years for evaluation. This admission follows a report by The Wall Street Journal which claims that one-third of the Energy Department's senior officials, including Granholm, owned stocks related to the agency's work.
Townhall: How About a Presidential Campaign About Vision and Principles?
10 Republican candidates, including former Vice President Mike Pence and former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, have entered the presidential race, with Donald Trump leading in the polls. Recent Gallup polling shows that only 18% of Americans are satisfied with the direction of the country, which indicates a big opportunity for change to a Republican presidency. However, the question remains who and what it will take to bring about that change, and whether the focus will be on big, bold ideas and a vision for the nation's future rather than running on record. The discussion needs to also focus on understanding the nation's principles and ideals and what they mean for our lives and future.
Breitbart: Ocasio-Cortez: What Is Detailed in Trump's Indictment 'Completely Indefensible'
Ocasio-Cortez criticizes House Republicans for their extremist views and their loyalty to Trump, which has resulted in legislative gridlock. She believes that this indictment, combined with Trump's previous rape charges and potential legal issues in Georgia, will only exacerbate the divide within the Republican Party. Ocasio-Cortez contends that the Republican Party is at a crossroads, where they must choose between a cult of personality or the betterment of the country. She believes the American people must decide if they will accept this behavior.

Fox News: GREG GUTFELD: The transgender movement has exploded
A transgender influencer bared her breasts on the White House lawn after meeting President Biden at a Pride event, causing backlash and condemnation from the White House. This incident raises questions about appropriate behavior at events, and raises the issue of the media's focus on this topic.
Greg Gutfeld discusses the current obsession with trans issues in the media, questioning whether it truly reflects the real world and highlighting incidents such as trans athletes and gender clinics. He argues that focusing on fringe movements can have a negative effect and lead to delusions becoming mainstream. He also discusses how the media often ignores important issues until they become unavoidable, and questions the appropriateness of the baring of breasts at the White House.

The Epoch Times: Janet Yellen Warns De-Dollarization Efforts Will Grow as Countries Seek Currency Alternatives
Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen warns that the US dollar’s status as the chief reserve currency is gradually diminishing as other countries diversify their assets. Despite the greenback’s share of international reserves gradually declining, Yellen states that no legitimate alternatives in today’s global marketplace could displace the dollar and that no country is able to replicate the dollar’s role in the global financial system. Despite this, the dollar’s supremacy is expected to dissipate incrementally in the future. While de-dollarisation may be part of a decades-long trend, Goldman Sachs thinks the dollar king being dethroned is an “unlikely story.”
In addition to other currencies growing in reserve share, gold is beginning to threaten the dollar hegemony, with central banks bought just over 1,100 tons of the yellow metal in 2022, the largest net amount since 1950. Marshall Billingslea, a senior fellow at the Hudson Institute, suspects that if China does maintain larger gold reserves than what international estimates show, then “they could start issuing gold-denominated, gold-backed yuan contracts” furthering their ambition for introducing the yuan onto the world stage. The US Treasury Department is instructed to prepare for a potential scenario where China dumps its $859 billion of U.S. government bonds.
The Epoch Times: US Stocks End Higher as Inflation Data Cements Bets on Rate Hike Pause
The S&P 500 and Nasdaq had their highest closes in 14 months as consumer prices rose modestly in May, raising bets the Federal Reserve won't raise interest rates on Wednesday. Stocks rose after a US Labor Department report showed the consumer price index rose 0.1% for the month, with core inflation unchanged. Nvidia jumped 3.9%, becoming the first chipmaker to end a trading session with a market capitalization above $1tn. US-listed shares of Chinese companies rose after China's central bank lowered its short-term lending rate for the first time in 10 months.
The Epoch Times: Avolon Says $4 Trillion Needed to Transform Global Jet Fleet
Leasing firm Avolon says global aviation needs $4 trillion over 20 years to fund new commercial deliveries & reduce emissions. Approximately half the 44,300 commercial passenger aircraft to be delivered will be for replacement and half for growth. The sector needs to decouple its environmental impact from rising travel demand so as to reach the industry-wide target of net zero emissions by 2050. Narrow-body jets will dominate growth and Airbus and Boeing will maintain their respective leadership of the narrow-body and wide-body markets.
Breitbart: Kudlow on Consumers’ Research Report About Bank of America: ‘The Worst Woke Story I’ve Seen’
Fox Business host Larry Kudlow criticized Bank of America's use of ESG metrics against its customers on his WABC radio show with Breitbart Economics Editor John Carney. Kudlow lambasted Bank of America's adherence to social and environmental causes that would hamper banking services. Consumers' Research has launched a scathing national "Bank of UnAmerica" ad campaign over some of the damaging ESG policies that will have a profound effect on the country's energy resources.

The Epoch Times: South Carolina Prisoner Faces 2nd Life Sentence for Using a Cellphone to Arrange Killing
Inmate Daniel Allen Shannon orchestrated the murder of a man he suspected of stealing from his drug courier. Shannon had been running a methamphetamine ring from behind bars in Lancaster and Kershaw counties. Last week, he was sentenced to life in federal prison for this killing, but he will only be transferred to federal custody if he is released from his state-imposed life sentence for the 2001 murder of a Lexington County restaurant manager. Shannon used contraband cellphones to control his operation. South Carolina’s prisons director, Bryan Stirling, has been seeking congressional approval to allow state prison authorities to jam cellphone signals inside the walls, citing violence, fraud, sex crimes and drug trafficking.
Townhall: Congress Considers Conditions on the Government's License to Steal
The FAIR Act, introduced by Reps. Tim Walberg and Jamie Raskin, has bipartisan support in Congress and aims to reform the civil asset forfeiture system in the US, making it harder for law enforcement to confiscate assets without charging or convicting the owner. Seizure proceeds would be assigned to the general fund, while "equitable sharing" would be eliminated. Federal courts would approve forfeitures, replacing the current conflict-of-interest-based system. The bill offers court-appointed counsel in civil forfeiture cases, and raises the burden of proof from "more likely than not" to "clear and convincing evidence," enhancing protections for innocent owners. However, seizures based on "probable cause" would still be legal.
In March 2021, the Institute for Justice filed a federal lawsuit on behalf of Linda Martin, whose $40,200 stored in a safe deposit box was seized by the FBI during a raid on US Private Vaults in 2019, without any evidence of her involvement in illegal activities. Martin's "petition for remission," filed to recover her property, admitted it was subject to forfeiture. Federal lawsuits like hers point to the fundamental injustice of the current civil asset forfeiture system that allows law enforcement agencies to confiscate assets without charging or convicting the owner, and without adequate checks and balances. The FAIR Act represents an important reform step in the right direction, but critics argue requiring a criminal conviction is the only way to stop forfeiture abuse.

The Epoch Times: Bills Receiver Stefon Diggs Misses Practice on Opening Day of Mandatory Minicamp
Buffalo Bills receiver Stefon Diggs is absent from the team’s mandatory minicamp, which coach Sean McDermott described as “very concerning”. Diggs skipped voluntary spring sessions and workouts earlier this year, and while the team stated he was present at their facility on Monday and Tuesday ahead of practice, he left before it began. Diggs has been one of the NFL’s most productive receivers since joining Buffalo in 2020, combining for 365 catches, 4,189 yards and 29 touchdowns. He is also reportedly unhappy with how the Bills season ended with defeat to Cincinnati in the play-offs.
