Washington Free Beacon: Newsom Met With Sheriff Who Wants To Prosecute DeSantis Over Migrant Flight
A Texas sheriff may press charges against Florida Governor Ron DeSantis for flying 49 migrants to Martha's Vineyard, after meeting with California Governor Gavin Newsom.

Neither DeSantis nor Newsom's office has commented.

Fox News: Calif. Democrat accuses Muslim colleague of White supremacy for not backing race-based law
California Democratic lawmaker accuses Republican colleague of White supremacy for opposing bill to use state funds for race-based programs. The measure, proposed by Assemblymember Corey Jackson, would amend the state’s constitution to fund programs “established or otherwise implemented by the state for purposes of increasing the life expectancy of, improving educational outcomes for, or lifting out of poverty” specific groups based on race. The bill passed the state assembly’s Judiciary Committee along party lines Tuesday and was referred to the state Appropriations Committee. The Republican assembly member, Bill Essayli, called the bill backwards, arguing that everyone should be treated equally by the government.
The New American: Pence Calls for National Ban on Abortion - The New American
Mike Pence calls for a national ban on abortion, taking a political shot at Trump who opposes a national law, but Biden has urged Congress to enact a federal statute legalizing abortion in all 50 states. The Supreme Court's Dobbs ruling did not say that Congress could ban abortion nationally, and there is no constitutional authority for Congress to enact a law either banning abortion or legalizing abortion in any of the states. There is a risk of the destruction of our "free government" if the Constitution is usurped on this issue or any other issue.

Republicans share his sentiments and claim that the Justice Department is weaponized against political opponents.

Breitbart: Exclusive -- Tom Cotton: Trump Shouldn’t Be indicted on 'Novel Legal Theories'
Sen. Tom Cotton criticized the federal indictment of former President Donald Trump and accused Merrick Garland of uneven justice. He referenced the case of pro-life activist Mark Houck, who was arrested under the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act but eventually acquitted.

Fox News: Biden pick for counterterror post botched handling of Hezbollah, Cruz says: 'Utterly disqualifying'
Sen. Ted Cruz clashes with Sen. Jeanne Shaheen over the nomination of Ambassador Elizabeth Richard for counterterrorism coordinator, citing her failures during her time as ambassador to Lebanon and accusing her of being unfit and unqualified to serve in the post. Cruz cites the case of Amer Fakhoury, a former U.S. hostage who spent six months detained in Lebanon after a Hezbollah-backed newspaper accused him of torturing Hezbollah and Palestinian prisoners in the 1980s and 1990s. Fakhoury died five months after his return to the U.S. Cruz accuses Richard of directly funding Hezbollah by supporting the establishment of ISF facilities.

Breitbart: German Populist AfD Overtakes Chancellor Scholz's Social Democrats
The right-wing Alternative for Germany party has overtaken the left-wing Social Democrats in German polls, reaching 19% in popularity due to the government's failures on energy, cost of living and the war in Ukraine. However, the CDU and CSU would still be the largest party in the country if an election were to happen this week. The rise of the AfD represents growing resentment against the current government's leadership, which is out-of-touch with the people and has been pushing forward with a radical green agenda amid energy crises and cost of living crises. Despite calls for a ban on the AfD, it would not hold up in court.
Red State: WATCH: Media Admits to Shutting Down Trump Coverage (for Our Own Good, of Course)
MSNBC and CNN have both refused to cover remarks made by former President Donald Trump, with MSNBC's Rachel Maddow citing a "cost to us as a news organization to knowingly broadcast untrue things." CNN's Jake Tapper called Trump's address "a spectacle and into a campaign ad," and claimed that the former president "says a lot of things that are not true and sometimes potentially dangerous." Fired former CNN media critic Brian Stelter defended the decisions, citing a demand for truth. Critics have accused the networks of censoring opposition views and interfering in the election process.
The Epoch Times: Indict Walt Nauta?
Former Trump aide and Navy veteran Walt Nauta has been indicted for allegedly making false statements to the FBI after refusing to cooperate with the special counsel in efforts to convict Trump. The indictment raised questions about justice and whether bigger fish, such as the likes of former FBI director Andrew McCabe, are being overlooked for far more serious crimes than those Nauta is accused of. Meanwhile, President Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton have avoided facing legal consequences for allegedly committing major crimes such as improperly handling classified documents and destroying subpoenaed items.
The Federalist Papers: White House Defies Office of Special Counsel, Continues Alleged Violations of Federal Law: Report

Although a complaint was filed against Jean-Pierre, the OSC has decided not to pursue disciplinary action but has issued a warning letter. The memo was also circulated among federal employees to avoid using the term "MAGA" while acting in their official capacity.

influencers NOT journalists: study
A new report from Britain’s University of Oxford found that over half of TikTok and Snapchat users, as well as 52 percent of Instagram users, get their news from social media influencers rather than traditional news outlets. The Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism interviewed 94,000 people across 46 countries, finding that mainstream journalists struggle to gain attention on newer networks like TikTok, Instagram, and Snapchat.

Singer Demi Lovato has switched back to "she/her" pronouns mid-way through Pride Month, finding it "exhausting" to get others to use "they/them" pronouns which she had been using since coming out as non-binary.

The Epoch Times: Supreme Court Upholds Law Aimed at Preventing Non-Indian Families From Adopting Native American Children
The Supreme Court upheld the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA), a racially discriminatory adoption law aimed at preventing non-Indian families from adopting Native American children. The Biden administration argued in favor of the act, which generally requires that Native children living outside of tribal lands be placed with members of their extended family or tribe. Conservative Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito dissented from the ruling, arguing that the ICWA was unconstitutional.
American Thinker: Thesaurus.com goes Gramsci?
Thesaurus.com's lack of negative synonyms for "godless" aligns with Antonio Gramsci's strategy of commandeering institutions to change society by rewriting language. Thesaurus.com is owned by political benefactor Dan Gilbert, who supports both parties. The absence of negative synonyms for "godless" implies a society without Judeo-Christian morals, aligning with the goals of leftism. Gilbert's donor strategy lines pockets of both parties to guarantee allies. The absence of moral principle and the funding of a Mao admirer suggest a corrupted Uniparty.
The Blaze: Demi Lovato admits she uses 'she/her' pronouns again because policing 'they/them' was 'absolutely exhausting'

Lovato also expressed feelings of oppression due to the lack of gender-neutral spaces and the limited choices on government forms.

It marks the second time the Congolese authorities have sought an investigation. M23, a rebel group linked to Rwanda, which resurfaced and started capturing territory, was among more than 120 armed groups vying for land and control of mines with valuable minerals. 5.5 million are internally displaced in eastern Congo.
Spectator USA: Putin prepares his scapegoats
Putin spent over two hours talking to war correspondents about the war in Ukraine. He refused to accept that the goals of the "special military operation" had changed in any way. Instead, he blamed the United States for driving Ukraine to war and claimed any peace would be achieved by direct talks with them. Putin seems to be lining up a lengthy list of potential scapegoats in case things go wrong. He was simply "hoping" that what was needed was being done.

He visited Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant during his trip to Japan and expressed his trust in Japan's safety measures for the planned release of treated radioactive wastewater into the Pacific Ocean this summer.

The Epoch Times: To Reduce Airline Ticket Prices, Expand Washington’s Reagan Airport
Reps. Hank Johnson and Burgess Owens proposed the Direct Capital Access Act to increase the number of flights in and out of Reagan National Airport.

United and American Airlines, the two loudest lobbying voices against this reform, prioritized protecting their turf from competition over lower ticket prices. This bill estimates to create more than 1,000 new jobs and generate up to $400 million in economic benefit to the capital region.

Sin denied Fullen's request for religious exemption from the COVID-19 vaccine and fired Fullen after she failed to take the vaccine. The lawsuit is one of many legal actions by employees after vaccine mandates in workplaces and argues against legal immunity for government officials.

Psychiatrist Dr. Miriam Grossman testified to Congress that there is no evidence that puberty blockers or cross-sex hormones are necessary for children who identify as transgender, and that there is risk of harm to them. Grossman, who has been treating patients for 45 years, said during a hearing of the House Committee on Energy and Commerce’s Subcommittee on Health that numerous countries, including Finland, Sweden and Norway, had restricted prescribing hormone treatments to children, and had subsequently seen 'no wave of suicides or other mental health catastrophes'. She added that there is no medical consensus on transgender hormone treatments for children.

The Epoch Times: Homicides, Suicides Climbed Among Young Americans During Pandemic: CDC
Homicides and suicides among young Americans hit record highs during the pandemic. CDC study shows that the suicide rate among those age 10-24 increased by 62% from 2007 to 2021, while the homicide rate for the age group increased by 37% from 2019 to 2020. A psychiatrist at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center said that the isolation of COVID-19 lockdowns could be a contributing factor.
The pandemic may have negatively impacted young Americans academically, according to the National Assessment of Educational Progress. The average US history and civics scores dropped by five and two points, respectively, among eighth graders, while average math and reading scores saw their largest decline between 2019 and 2022, indicating a 'profound toll on student learning during the pandemic.' There has been a growing push to ban the teaching of controversial concepts like critical race theory in public schools, which some believe to be contributing to the decline.

Breitbart: Huston: Woke NBA Sees Yet Another Year of Dismal Finals Ratings
The NBA's TV ratings for the championship finals were dismal this year, with an average of 11.6 million viewers - a six percent decline from last year. This is the fourth-lowest figure in 30 years, and while the number is still far higher than any other show on TV this week, it is still a terrible low compared to past NBA seasons. These poor ratings may be due to the NBA's partnership with China and its woke policies encouraging social justice slogans on its sidelines and jerseys.

The Federalist Papers: Plague of ‘Cannibal’ Crickets Is Causing a Terrifying Problem of Biblical Proportion
The town of Elko, Nevada is experiencing a severe “nightmare of Biblical proportions” invasion of ground-dwelling insects known as “Mormon crickets” which are actually not crickets. The bugs are invasive and cannibalistic, feeding on grasses, shrubs, and cultivated forage crops, which causes adverse effects on livestock and contributes to soil erosion, poor water quality, and nutrient depleted soils. Residents are forced to stay indoors, and the infestation has even caused hazardous road conditions leading to increased car accidents. The bugs will eventually move on, but their presence raises questions about whether the government should be allowed to introduce non-native species.
