The Epoch Times: What Now for the Men and Women Without a Country?
Millions of people are feeling like they are without a country with the recent indictment of Donald Trump. The establishment is dependent on the military-industrial complex and is threatened by Trump's comments about the Iraq War, however, the problem runs deeper than that. The unelected deep state controls virtually every aspect of our lives, and our society has become more socialistic than Western Europe, with the transgender epidemic being the last straw for some. The future looks like a choice between communist China and the World Economic Forum, and we must focus on bringing back our constitutional republic to live an authentic life.
Fox News: Clay Travis lashes out at 'disrespectful' Mike Pence in tense interview on question of pardoning Trump
Former Vice President Mike Pence clashed with conservative radio host Clay Travis over the issue of pardoning Donald Trump if elected president. Travis challenged Pence to answer whether he would pardon Trump. Pence responded that the pardoning authority is "enormously important" and called the idea of a pardon premature. However, Travis criticized Pence for not taking a principled stand and being disrespectful to Trump. In contrast to other GOP candidates in the 2024 field, Pence has called the indictment of Trump "troubling" but also said that no one is above the law.
Daily Wire: Miami Mayor Francis Suarez Announces GOP Presidential Bid Despite Support For Left-Wing Positions
Republican Miami Mayor Francis Suarez is running for president in the upcoming 2024 election. He joins a crowded field of contenders, including Donald Trump and Ron DeSantis, who are the top two leading candidates. Suarez gained national attention for trying to bring top companies to the city, billing it as a future “crypto hub and the next Silicon Valley”. He faces an ongoing investigation into the business dealings of developer Rishi Kapoor in South Florida and Kapoor’s hiring of Suarez as a consultant on local projects, which complicates his bid for the Republican nomination. Suarez has also expressed support for Democratic politicians and left-wing issues, making him an unlikely candidate.
The Blaze: The White House prominently displayed a Pride flag, but a Republican is proposing a bill that would largely ban displaying non-American flags on federal property
Republican Sen. Roger Marshall of Kansas has proposed the One Flag For All Act, which would largely prohibit featuring flags other than the U.S. flag on federal property and buildings. The bill would make exceptions for the flag of a visiting diplomat's country and the flag of a lawmaker's state. Marshall and other lawmakers criticized the White House for the recent prominent display of a pro-LGBT flag alongside American flags on the White House. They argue that the American flag should never be undermined and should remain the sole symbol of the nation's freedom and sacrifices.

Daily Wire: ‘They’re Liars’: Ben Shapiro’s Not Buying WH Shock Over Topless Trans Person At Pride Event
Conservative pundit Ben Shapiro calls out the Biden administration's sudden condemnation of trans activist Rose Montoya's topless display at a recent White House Pride event. Shapiro claims that the administration is lying when it says that Montoya's actions were "inappropriate and disrespectful" and that they will ban future events. He argues that the administration's push for the LGBT community is not about privacy concerns but about replacing an entire system of morality with one that "prizes perversity". Shapiro also accuses the administration of promoting exposing children to genderqueer literature and forcing parents to consider allowing their children to undergo gender confirmation surgery.

National Review: Belarus May Have Received Russian Nuclear Weapons
Belarus claims to have received Russian nuclear weapons, including a bomb three times more powerful than Hiroshima and Nagasaki. If some of Russia's 2,000 tactical nuclear weapons make it across the border, the West would be on high alert. Belarus borders NATO allies like Poland and Lithuania. The move is seen by the US as an attempt to pressure the West to stop arming Ukraine. The comments come as Ukraine begins a counteroffensive near Zaporizhzhia. Last September, Russia was warned it would face "catastrophic consequences" if it used nuclear weapons in Ukraine.
Forbes: The Ukrainian Marine Corps’ AMX-10RC Recon Vehicles Didn’t Last Long in A Frontal Assault On Russian Defenses
French-made AMX-10RC reconnaissance vehicles used by the Ukrainian marine corps were not designed for armored breach of enemy fortifications and have thin armor that is not effective against Russian artillery. During a recent assault by Ukrainian forces, Russian artillery penetrated the thin armor on six-wheel AMX-10RCs, damaging some and forcing others to be moved to the back of the assault force. This highlights the risks of Ukraine's risky strategy as its southern counteroffensive rolls into its second week, though the 37th Marine Brigade's successful assault around Velyka Novosilka, followed by several days of Ukrainian advances, has set conditions for further forces in the offensive.
Ukrainian commanders are waiting for the lead brigades to open gaps in Russian defenses that can allow for additional brigades to be sent in, including heavier units such as tank brigades and air assault brigades. Previously, the economic assault on Velyka Novosilka saw the 37th Brigade move its AMX-10RCs to the back of the assault force despite documents suggesting the brigade had been equipped with up to 16 tanks. Meanwhile, an attempt by the 33rd Mechanized and 47th Assault Brigades to cross a Russian minefield with heavy assault vehicles ended in disaster. Should the Ukrainian forces succeed in opening a gap, heavy units such as the 1st and 3rd Tank Brigades can be deployed instead of the lightly-protected recon vehicles being used currently.

Breitbart: Beijing Welcomes Palestinian Leader with Offer of ‘Chinese Wisdom’ to Broker Peace
The Chinese President Xi Jinping has announced a new "Chinese-Palestinian strategic partnership" after meeting with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, presenting China as an impartial broker for peace talks between Israelis and Palestinians. Abbas visited Beijing for a four-day visit with Foreign Minister Riyad al-Maliki. Details about the Chinese-Palestinian partnership were not provided, although China intends to fund four projects in the West Bank. Abbas' economic adviser, Mohammed Mustafa, said these projects include a solar power plant, a solar panel factory, a steel plant, and road construction. China supports full membership in the United Nations for the Palestinian Authority.
Foreign Policy: EU Lawmakers Pass Landmark AI Regulation Bill
The European Union Parliament passed the comprehensive Artificial Intelligence Act, which classifies AI under four levels of risk and bans systems such as social scoring and predictive policing tools. The new regulations aim to establish greater privacy standards, transparency laws, and higher fines for noncompliance. Member states will be responsible for enforcement, with corporate violators facing up to $33 million or 6% of the company's annual global revenue in fines.
Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko revealed in an interview that Russia has delivered tactical nuclear warheads to Belarus, marking the first time Moscow has deployed such weapons outside its territory since the Soviet Union. Meanwhile, Germany published its first national security strategy, citing Russia as the biggest security threat to the continent after its invasion of Ukraine. Two Japanese soldiers were killed in a shooting at a military training center, and a state investigation is underway in Ecuador after a woman was pronounced dead only to be discovered alive during her own wake.

Forbes: Westfield Mall Joins The Mass Retail Exodus Out Of San Francisco
Following Nordstrom's decision to close its anchor store in San Francisco's Westfield mall, the mall is pulling out and is expected to be turned over to its lenders due to a $558m loan default. The company expected sales, occupancy, and foot traffic declines. Poor economic conditions and rampant street crime are said to be causing shoppers, potential tenants, and workers to steer clear of downtown. The National Retail Federation has attributed the $100bn retail shrink in the US, largely external retail theft, to violent guests and associates in 80% of retailers and 58% to mass violence/active assailant threats. San Francisco is representative of the increased safety concerns among shoppers across the US, with an increase in gang-related shoplifting in urban communities, according to a study. Some retailers may move to the suburbs.

The New American: Southern Baptists Cut Ties With Rick Warren’s Saddleback Church - The New American
The Southern Baptist Convention has voted to uphold the decision to remove Saddleback Church from the denomination due to the church allowing a woman to have the role of teaching pastor. 88% of the 10,649 members voted in favour of disfellowshipping Saddleback from the non-Catholic Christian denomination. Fern Creek Baptist Church in Louisville, Kentucky, and Freedom Church of Vero Beach, Florida, were also removed from the SBC for allowing a woman to have the role of teaching pastor and failing to remove a pastor credibly accused of sexual misconduct, respectively.
Rick Warren, who founded the almost 30,000-member church in 1980, had been speaking out against the move to remove Saddleback from the SBC, and called on the convention to overrule the Executive Committee. However, the Convention upheld the decision and dismissed Warren’s claims that the decision was unfounded. Warren himself has a history of opposing conservative orthodoxy, advocating for more liberal causes such as battling poverty and opposing torture, as well as being a member of the Council on Foreign Relations and the globalist World Economic Forum.
The Federalist Papers: Franklin Graham Teaches Mark Cuban a Lesson Directly from the Bible After Billionaire Declares Going Woke Is 'Good Business'
Billionaire Mark Cuban thinks going woke is good business. Evangelist Franklin Graham disagrees, citing sin as "good business" since time immemorial, comparing Hollywood and corporate America's embrace of wokeness to the Garden of Eden's first "sales pitch." The corporate world, Graham says, knows where their bread is buttered, and they'll follow the money, but sin's ultimate product enslaves and captivates, feeding a hunger that leaves one craving more.

PJ Media: ‘You’re a Grand Old Flag’: A Musical Tribute on Flag Day
Flag Day and the U.S. Army's birthday fall on June 14th. The American Flag was adopted officially by Continental Congress on this day in 1777. The U.S. Army was established on June 14th as well, when the Continental Congress issued a resolution. The flag represents freedom and has stood for it for more than two centuries. Men fought and died for the flag in battles from Trenton to Afghanistan. “You’re a Grand Old Flag,” written by George M. Cohan, praises the flag's power to inspire pride in loyal Americans.
George M. Cohan's famous song, "You're a Grand Old Flag," was written in dedication to the American flag. Mr. Cohan was a talented man: he wrote his own plays and music, and he also starred in them. "You're a Grand Old Flag" was written for his 1906 stage musical, George Washington, Jr. The song was introduced in the play's first act on February 6th, 1906, at the Herald Square Theater in New York City. The original lyric for this perennial George M. Cohan favorite came, as he later explained, from an encounter he had with a Civil War veteran who fought at Gettysburg.

Fox News: US farm agency implements stricter verification for antibiotic use claims on meat products
The USDA will improve its verification process for meat and poultry labeled as "raised without antibiotics," including conducting sampling and screening for antibiotic residues. The agency also plans to revise its guidelines to encourage third-party certification of label claims. Consumer and environmental groups have long warned about the overuse of antibiotics in livestock farming contributing to human antibiotic resistance.
The Epoch Times: DIY: Get Your AC Ready for Summer’s Hottest Months
Get ready for summer by servicing your air conditioning unit. Make sure to clean or replace your air filter, check your supply of additional filters, and clean your outdoor condenser unit of any debris that may obstruct airflow. Remember to turn off all power to the system and wear protective gear when cleaning your unit. Test your unit to make sure it's working properly and change your filter every 60 to 90 days for optimal cooling and lower energy costs. If you have a ductless mini-split unit, clean the filter every four to six weeks and cover the outdoor compressor when not in use. Inverter-driven compressor technology works best when set to a particular temperature and then left alone, so avoid regularly fiddling with the temperature setting.
Breitbart: White House Declines to Condemn UK for Restricting 'Puberty Blockers' for 'Trans Kids'
White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre refused to confirm whether the administration intended to speak out about the recent UK decision to ban puberty blockers for children who identify as transgender. Jean-Pierre was asked if President Biden would withdraw Medicare funding from states that limited access to such drugs, but she dismissed the question. The UK's National Health Service will no longer prescribe the drugs routinely but will provide them in exceptional cases or for clinical research. The use of puberty blockers and sex reassignment surgery in children without fully understanding their long-term effects has become a controversial topic internationally.

Breitbart: HUSTON: Report: MLB Quietly Tells Teams to Ditch 'Pride' Uniforms
MLB teams can now choose whether their players wear rainbow-colored clothing during "Pride Night" games after the league allowed a change in regulations that it kept quiet since February.

However, the Texas Rangers have consistently avoided such events. The NHL is also seeing resistance from players and teams over "blatant expressions" of gay support.
