Fox News: Los Angeles mayor slams 'abhorrent' Texas move to bus migrants to her city
Texas Governor sends 40 illegal migrants to Los Angeles. Mayor Karen Bass condemns the "abhorrent" move by Texas as "cheap political games". Texas has sent over 21,000 migrants to several jurisdictions already, claiming they are providing relief to border towns overwhelmed by Biden's border crisis. Los Angeles is a "sanctuary city", and Governor Abbott accuses the city leaders of approving its self-declared status, which limits local enforcement cooperation with federal immigration authorities, hence becoming a major spot for migrants. Mayor Bass calls it a "despicable stunt" and states that the city was prepared for the arrival, mobilizing emergency services, nonprofit organizations, and federal partners. Other jurisdictions accuse Texas of weaponizing migrants for political purposes.

The Blaze: Biden goes 'off script' and promises to build a railroad across the Indian Ocean, prompting mockery: 'Ambitious'
President Biden promised to build a railroad across the Indian Ocean at a League of Conservation Voters' fundraising dinner, minutes after four major green groups endorsed his 2024 campaign. The President's blue ambitions were met with parody and concern online, and his speech was criticized for meandering at times.

The Right Scoop: Bill to censure Adam Schiff gets new life and here’s why…
Republicans and Democrats clashed over a proposal to fine Adam Schiff for his dishonesty related to the Russia collusion story. Many Republicans, including Thomas Massie, opposed the imposition of a fine on Schiff's congressional salary, arguing that it set a dangerous precedent that could be used against conservatives. The bill has now been revised and will be reintroduced without the provision for a fine.
Jenna Ellis, another Republican, also weighed in, arguing that imposing fines on congressional wages was unconstitutional, and that the censure should have been a motion to expel or another form of punishment which is within the authority of Congress. The bill's author, Anna Paulina Luna, had removed the provision for a fine and will try again to pass the bill. The revised bill will be voted on at a later time.
Fox News: UK report finds former Prime Minister Boris Johnson lied to Parliament over 'Partygate' scandal
Former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson has been harshly rebuked for lying to Parliament about lockdown-breaking parties, with a committee of MPs finding his actions warranted a 90-day suspension from Parliament. Johnson resigned before the sanction could be implemented, although he still faces debate and another potential vote in the House of Commons on the committee’s findings. The “partygate” scandal has highlighted a battle over Johnson’s legacy as Britain prepares for a general election, with the Conservative Party lagging behind the more liberal Labour Party in public opinion polls.
The House of Commons Privileges Committee found Johnson guilty of a “serious contempt” of Parliament, making him the first UK prime minister to be deliberately found to have misled the House. The committee also criticised Johnson’s attacks on the body, calling them an effort to undermine legislative processes and amounting to further contempt of Parliament. Johnson characterised the report as a “load of complete tripe” and a “charade” designed to oust him.

Khan's favorability rating has recently decreased, with a third of surveyed Londoners indicating that he is performing poorly.

Longoria co-founded the Latino Victory Fund in 2014, which spent $9,118,302 in favor of Biden's presidential campaign in the 2020 election cycle. Longoria has personally donated $713,723 to Democratic candidates and groups from 2011 to 2020.

Forbes: Tigrayans Continue To Be Targeted In Ethiopia Despite The Ceasefire
Amid the ongoing conflict in Ethiopia's Tigray region, Human Rights Watch has reported continued ethnic cleansing against Tigrayans in Western Tigray Zone. Despite a truce agreement in November 2022, local authorities and Amhara forces have forcibly expelled Tigrayans in violation of human rights, while the Ethiopian government has not responded to calls for investigation and prosecution. Two officials have been implicated in abuses against Tigrayans, including arbitrary detention, torture, and forced deportations. Parliamentarians in the UK have launched an inquiry into the situation of Tigrayans in Ethiopia, led by the All Party Parliamentary Group on International Law, Justice and Accountability, and is set to make preliminary findings and recommendations for the UK government.

Newsbusters: CNN Downplays Boycott Dethroning ‘King of Beers’ Bud Light with Modelo
Modelo has become the most popular beer company in America, overtaking Bud Light due to changing tastes and clever advertising, according to CNN's chief business correspondent Christine Romans. Sales for Bud Light were down more than 24% in May, while Modelo's sales rose 12.2%. Romans also mentioned the influence of Cinco de Mayo, growing affinity for Mexican beer and spirits, and the declining tastes for light beer as factors behind the shift in sales. Romans dismissed the claim that the drop in Bud Light sales was due to the controversy surrounding their sponsorship of trans influencer Dylan Mulvaney, arguing it was instead a "social media fail" and blaming Bud Light's corporate and PR response to the controversy.

The American Spectator: The Problem With Pre-Pride Parade Masses
As Pride parades approach, Catholic parishes plan "Pre-Pride" Masses, but offering mere "acceptance" and "tolerance" ignores gay Catholics who thirst for the fullness of Christ's love and desire to live chastely. This discrepancy reflects a larger hole in Fr. James Martin's project of "building a bridge" with the LGBT community. Catholic art depicts the body in a way that imbues it with a sacred meaning that a Pride parade can only attempt to, and the Church offers plenty of examples that can help people with same-sex attraction live their desire in a more fulfilling way. Rather than offering buzzwords, why not let them in on the Church’s understanding of real beauty and real intimacy?

The Epoch Times: Snuffed Out but Not Forgotten: Old Baldy Lighthouse
Exploring North Carolina's oldest lighthouse, Old Baldy on Bald Head Island, proves to be an adventure of history and stunning views. The lighthouse helped ships navigate around the Frying Pan Shoal, a line of shallow sandbars that caused many shipwrecks. Accessible only by ferry, the island prohibits automobiles, but offers rentals to explore further. Native Indians inhabited the island, pirates found refuge in its creeks, and lighthouse keepers whitewashed the octagonal-shaped, brick structure every two years. Despite elements exposing its bricks and thinning stucco, a climb up its worn wooden staircase is worth the view.

Fox News: Suicide, homicide numbers in America recorded at its worst in decades during COVID, according to CDC
Homicide and suicide rates among 10- to 24-year-olds in the US spiked to the highest point in more than two decades during the COVID pandemic, largely due to depression, lack of mental health resources, and an increase in guns at home. The teenage homicide rate in 2021 was the highest since 1997, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and suicide rates among young adults were the worst in 50 years. The record increase underlines the mental health crisis among young people and highlights the need for policy changes in gun control and mental health services.
Guns were present in 54% of suicides and 93% of homicides involving the age group. Suicide and homicide were identified as the second and third leading causes of death for young people, following accidental deaths from motor vehicle crashes, falls, drownings, and overdoses. Self-harm was strongly indicated in the rise in suicide rates at the start of the pandemic with depression, limited availability of mental health services, and the increased prevalence of guns likely being contributing factors. Isolation during COVID-19 lockdowns could also have been a factor in the increase in suicide rates among young people.

Fox News: Group in Mexico saving bees that would have otherwise been exterminated in crowded capital city
Abeja Negra SOS, a Mexican non-profit group, has relocated over 500 hives, each with an average of 80,000 bees, in Mexico City since 2018. The group aims to save bees from extermination by authorities who automatically respond to bee complaints. The founder, Adriana Velíz, and mostly women members, relocate the bees to the outskirts of the city, where they recover and grow strong before being donated to local farmers or released into the wild. The group charges slightly over $300 to remove a hive, mainly to cover logistical costs. The project has generated a buzz and inspired other groups to do the same work.
