Forbes: Mark Cuban Calls Going Woke ‘Good Business’—And Conservatives And Fellow Shark Kevin O’Leary Bite Back
Mark Cuban defended companies facing boycotts for their "woke" outreach to the LGBTQ community, citing the bet on future customers. Cuban believes corporations are showing they care about future customers and wagering that everyone will eventually care about these issues. Despite conservative backlash, Cuban thinks being "woke" is good business since many of the top companies in the United States are supportive of LGBTQ issues. Critics, like Shark Tank judge Kevin O’Leary, argued that Bud Light's sales dropped about 25% over one year ago following calls to boycott the company. However, Cuban views the sales dip as meaningless, asserting that it is not because individual holders sold their stocks.
The Federalist Papers: Fox News Caption Gives Biden Perfect ‘Wannabe Dictator’ Nickname as He Speaks at WH After Trump Arrest
Fox News labeled Joe Biden a "wannabe dictator" in a chyron during its live coverage of Donald Trump's address. The caption read, "WANNABE DICTATOR SPEAKS AT THE WHITE HOUSE AFTER HAVING HIS POLITICAL RIVAL ARRESTED," as a contrast between the two leaders was shown. Fox News bosses were not amused and said the chyron was taken down immediately, but some conservative fans have enjoyed the labeling of Joe Biden.
The Epoch Times: Republican Study Committee Aims to Balance Federal Budget in Seven Years
The House Republican Study Committee released a 2024 budget proposal that would balance the federal budget in seven years while advancing conservative values, stabilizing Social Security, and strengthening national defense. The proposed budget includes measures to reduce spending by $16 trillion in 10 years, cut nondefense discretionary spending by $5 trillion, expand provider competition in Medicare to lower premiums, and repeal green-energy tax credits. Other provisions include the modernization of U.S. nuclear capabilities, sanctions on members of the Chinese Communist Party, and support for pro-life legislation, opposition to Critical Race Theory, and ensuring faith-based institutions can participate in government programs.
Breitbart: FBI Refuses to Commit to Releasing Document Alleging Biden Bribery
FBI Deputy Director Paul Abbate refused to commit to releasing an FBI document in which an informant alleged that President Joe Biden and his son Hunter engaged in a $10 million bribery scheme with a foreign national. Sen. Josh Hawley repeatedly asked Abbate during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing if he would commit to releasing the unclassified document to the public, but the deputy director repeatedly refused to say “yes” or “no” in reply. Abbate claimed that releasing the document would potentially put the FBI informant’s life at risk. Hawley responded, “You can redact the source’s name. We do this all the time.”
Forbes: Miami Mayor Francis Suarez Teases GOP Presidential Run: Here’s The Full 2024 Primary List
Miami Mayor Francis Suarez is expected to announce a presidential run for the Republican Party in a speech on Thursday, which will make him the third Florida-based candidate to enter the race, and the tenth challenger to former President Donald Trump. Trump maintains a strong lead in polls despite his legal woes, with 54% of GOP voters saying they would cast their ballots for him in a hypothetical 2024 primary, according to FiveThirtyEight. The growing field of candidates is expected to draw votes from Governor Ron DeSantis, whom Trump has accused of being disloyal.
Red State: 'Tucker' on Twitter Episode 3 Raised Some Questions for Me That I Hope to Get
In Tucker Carlson's Twitter video episode 3, he suggests that Donald Trump was bound to be indicted for questioning the military industrial complex since 2016. Carlson argues that Trump's worst enemies are his most obsequious sycophants, who were always waiting to betray his agenda. While it remains unclear why official D.C. decided to go after Trump in 2016, Carlson believes that it wasn't just because of his opposition to the military industrial complex. Carlson and Trump's base have a major problem with the war in Ukraine, but it is unclear why given that Trump promised to supply the Ukrainian army if Putin crossed the border, the same as is being done now.
Forbes: Fox Says Chyron Calling Biden ‘Wannabe Dictator’ Was ‘Addressed’ After Backlash—But Doesn’t Apologize
Fox News aired a text during a broadcast on Tuesday that called President Joe Biden a "wannabe dictator" and accused him of having his "political rival arrested," aligning with former President Donald Trump's unfounded narrative blaming Biden for federal charges Trump faces. The text was quickly taken down and "addressed" by Fox News, although the spokesperson did not suggest how the incident had been addressed. In a White House press briefing on Wednesday, press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre briefly addressed the text, implying that Fox News was trying to rebuild trust following a $787.5 million settlement for promoting false claims about Dominion Voting Systems.
Donald Trump pleaded not guilty to 37 felony counts on Tuesday, accusing him of taking sensitive military documents to Mar-A-Lago and refusing to comply with a Justice Department subpoena seeking their return. Following his arrest and release on his own recognizance, Trump accused Biden of instructing the Justice Department to have him arrested and delivered a speech, and Fox News aired texts that reinforced Trump's accusations against Biden. Biden has denied his involvement in the case, and Attorney General Merrick Garland appointed Special Counsel Jack Smith to handle the case, but Trump maintains that there is a double standard of justice between his case and that of Biden's handling of documents at his former office in Delaware.
PJ Media: Corrupt Prosecutor Jack Smith Helps Trump Raise Big Money for His Campaign
Donald Trump's campaign has raised over $6.6 million in just a few days since his indictment on federal charges. The campaign claims that this is a clear indication of President Trump's steadfast support from grassroots Patriots across the nation and that he is the leading candidate to beat Joe Biden in 2024. The indictment was seen as a politically motivated attack orchestrated by Jack Smith, who has a history of biased investigations against Republicans, and picked by Merrick Garland, the current US attorney general.
Polling has shown that both Ron DeSantis and Donald Trump can defeat Joe Biden in the 2024 general election. PJ Media claims to bring unvarnished truth and expose the corruption of the Biden administration. The media outlet credits its ability to stay online and continue revealing the truth to VIP members’ support and invites others to join the fight to prevent America from becoming a banana republic by signing up for a 50% discount with the promo code WITCHHUNT.
Fox News: White House repeatedly dodges question on 'financial' reparations for slavery: 'We'll take a look at it'
White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre avoided directly answering a question about whether President Biden would support financial reparations for the descendants of Black slaves in the US, instead saying that the administration wants to see a study of reparations and the continuing impacts of slavery. This came after liberal reporter April Ryan asked about far-left Rep. Cori Bush's legislation that would offer $14 trillion in reparations. Jean-Pierre praised Biden for calling out race inequality across the country and taking comprehensive action to ensure equity in federal government decisions.
The Blaze: Republicans notch surprise win in Maine House special election after Dem resigns seat over forgery charges
Republican Abden Simmons won a special election for the Maine state House in a traditionally Democratic area with a margin of only 121 votes. Democrat Clinton Collamore, who won the election last November, resigned his House seat in February and was accused of forging approximately 30 signatures to qualify for the ballot, pleading guilty to 11 misdemeanors and was sentenced to serve 72 hours in jail, perform 100 hours of community service, and pay back the one-month salary and up to $15,000 in funding. The Republican win is a surprise, but it will not affect the state chamber too drastically since Democrats still hold a 13-seat majority there and control the state Senate and the governor's mansion.
The Epoch Times: Political Leanings Dictated COVID Vaccine Uptake: 2021 Federal Memo
A government memo obtained through an access to information request by Blacklock's Reporter indicates that voters who supported the liberals and NDP were more likely to get a COVID vaccine than those who supported the conservatives. The memo also stated that those who were male, older, had higher education, trust in experts and government, history of prior vaccination, higher socioeconomic status, and heightened worries about COVID-19 were more likely to get vaccinated. The memo was released two days before Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced the 2021 election and his mandatory vaccination policy. The Liberal Party was returned to power with 32.6 percent of the popular vote in the 2021 election.
Breitbart: Resolution to Censure Schiff Killed After 20 Republicans Joined Democrats
A House resolution to censure Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) for leading the Russia collusion hoax and impeachment inquiry against former President Trump was effectively killed after 20 House Republicans voted to table it. Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL), who introduced the resolution, plans to file a privileged motion to send Schiff to ethics for investigation. The resolution also called for Schiff to be fined $16 million if the Committee on Ethics found that he "lied, made misrepresentations, and abused sensitive information."

Newsbusters: ABC ADMITS Downtown San Francisco Too Unsafe Even for a War Reporter
Good Morning America reports on the decline of downtown San Francisco, attributing it to a fentanyl epidemic, pervasive homelessness, and fleeing retailers. San Francisco is in the midst of experiencing “downtown decay” along with other West Coast cities including Portland, Seattle, and Los Angeles. However, the report failed to mention that San Francisco's liberal policies – including facilitating hard narcotic uses – were the source of the problem. The report also failed to mention the significant reason for the city's problems is crime that runs rampant due to weak-on-crime leaders who refuse to prosecute criminals.
Fox News: NY AG Letitia James calls Target ‘wrong’ for moving Pride merchandise: ‘Hatred and bigotry can't win’

Breitbart: Trans White House Flasher Said He Is ‘Disappointed’
Trans influencer Rose Montoya complained that brands are not partnering with her for Pride campaigns this year, saying they are giving in to bullies. The 27-year-old was banned from the White House after baring her breasts and has accused companies of engaging in "pink washing." Target's scaled-back Pride collection received 40 times more calls to boycott than last year, while Bud Light's earnings are predicted to drop by 26 % after partnering with transgender activist Dylan Mulvaney.
The Epoch Times: After Being Called Out by J.K. Rowling, Johns Hopkins Takes Down LGBT Glossary
J.K. Rowling criticized Johns Hopkins for including a description in its LGBT glossary calling a lesbian a "non-man attracted to non-men". The university later removed the definition after facing backlash and claimed the glossary was not a definitive answer on the subject. The Harry Potter author is known for her philanthropic work, including her passion for research and treatment of multiple sclerosis.
Rowling's comment came after a controversial tweet by the charity Oxfam that depicted a demonic figure resembling Rowling with a TERF pin on her shirt, a label for opponents to far-left transgender ideology. The charity later deleted the tweet and stated that any likeness to Rowling was coincidental. Rowling has previously voiced her opinions on the transgender movement, receiving both criticism and support for her views.

In response, Canada will cease all activities with the bank for the time being, and the government will investigate the allegations made by Pickard.

Forbes: Blinken Set To Travel To Beijing Amid Continuing U.S.-China Strains
U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken will travel to Beijing next week to meet senior Chinese officials and discuss bilateral and regional matters as well as shared transnational challenges. Neither side has confirmed if Blinken will meet Chinese President Xi Jinping during the trip. The visit follows a postponement of a planned trip earlier this year after an alleged spy balloon from China floated over the US heartland in February. Biden referred to the balloon as "silly," which increased criticism that he has not made an investigation into the matter public. U.S. business leaders looking to the China market to offset slow economic growth will privately support any lowering of tensions between the two countries.

The Epoch Times: Bill to Get Tough on Violence Against Pregnant Women Defeated on Second Reading
The Canadian Parliament has defeated a private member’s bill that aimed to toughen up sentences for those guilty of violence against pregnant women. The bill, put forward by Conservative MP Cathay Wagantall, suggested inserting into the Criminal Code a reference to the implications of physically or emotionally hurting a pregnant woman. The bill was not supported by any opposition MPs. It was seen by supporters as a means of ensuring that those who assault or kill a pregnant woman face appropriately severe sentencing. Opponents believed it could be used to advocate for the rights of the unborn child.

The Epoch Times: Historic Level of Vehicle Theft by Organized Crime in 2022: Canadian Insurance Industry Report
Organized crime has caused Canadian insurance companies to lose over $1 billion in vehicle theft claims for the first time in history, according to a report by Équité Association. The trend suggests that criminals view stealing vehicles in Canada as a “low-risk/high-reward opportunity” due to high profit margins and low prosecution rates. Ontario and Quebec saw a significant increase in thefts, with Ontario up almost 50% year over year and Quebec up 50%. This has led to concerns that the proceeds are being used to fund activities such as arms dealing, human trafficking, and international terrorism.

Meanwhile, Tesla CEO Elon Musk has been calling for more government regulation, despite profiting from the technology himself.
