Breitbart: Biden Celebrates 11 Years of DACA Program: Illegal Aliens 'Are Americans'
President Biden celebrated the 11th anniversary of Obama's DACA program that allowed around 800,000 illegal aliens to evade arrest and deportation. He stated that despite not having U.S citizenship and violating federal immigration laws, the millions of illegal immigrants that enrolled and were eligible for DACA were Americans. Biden also pointed out that his administration is opening Affordable Care Act and Medicaid benefits to DACA illegal aliens, with taxpayers funding up to $2.8 billion annually to support every DACA illegal immigrant in the U.S. The Department of Homeland Security will continue advocating for DACA illegal aliens, and Sens. Dick Durbin and Lindsey Graham have introduced an amnesty plan to provide citizenship to the nearly two million illegal immigrants eligible for DACA.

The Epoch Times: Leftists Trash US Constitution
Democrats passed the Inflation Reduction Act which allows the government to tax companies that refuse to sell at their dictated price. They coerced Merck into selling their most valuable products for a fraction of their value or face taxes up to 1,900 percent of revenues, violating the Constitution's takings clause. Merck sued, claiming that the law violates their constitutional rights, leading to a red flag for property-owning Americans. Merck's lawsuit raises only constitutional issues, but Americans also need to know that price controls on pharmaceuticals could be dangerous to their health. Merck’s lawsuit is headed to the Supreme Court.
The Blaze: Biden admin is withholding release of Pete Buttigieg's flight records after he was accused of abusing taxpayer dollars by flying private, lawsuit claims
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is being sued by a government watchdog group for withholding Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg's flight records, which they requested under the Freedom of Information Act. Buttigieg came under scrutiny for using taxpayer money to travel on private jets managed by the FAA. The FAA set multiple deadlines to release the records but failed to do so, prompting the lawsuit. The DOT's Office of Inspector General is already investigating Buttigieg's travel.
Newsbusters: Soros-Funded Southern Poverty Law Center Has Hissy Fit Over Soros Critic Matt Palumbo
The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) accused Matt Palumbo, Bongino Report Content Manager, of promoting “antisemitic-trope laden” work in his book about George Soros. The SPLC tried to deflect criticisms of Soros by labeling them anti-Semitic while omitting that Soros’ organizations funded them in the past. Palumbo had criticized Soros for being apathetic to the plight of Jews during the Holocaust and his work to damage Israel, which the SPLC ignored. Despite Soros’ own admission of not feeling guilty about his past, the SPLC accused Palumbo of agreeing with an out of context and twisted Daily Wire interview with Candace Owens. The SPLC also condemned the use of “Soros-backed” to describe the radical district attorneys he funded or is connected to whose policies have caused chaos in U.S. cities. The SPLC attempted to racialize the phrase and claimed it was a centuries-old “Jewish wealth” trope.
Breitbart: Poll: Donald Trump Remains Most Favorable Candidate in GOP Primary Field
Trump remains the most favored candidate in the Republican primary field, with 76% viewing him favorably and 22% unfavorably post-indictment, according to a Morning Consult survey.

The Epoch Times: Conservative Views Among Americans Are at Decade High, Poll Finds
The latest Gallup survey showed an increase in the number of Americans identifying as socially and economically conservative. 38% of Americans consider themselves conservative on social issues, up from 33% in 2022, while 44% identify as conservative on economic issues. The rise in social conservatism coincides with ongoing debates on controversial topics, such as transgender rights and abortion. The study found that Republicans exhibited one of the largest increases in social conservatism, with 74% identifying as socially conservative in 2023, compared to 60% in 2021. Despite the increase in conservative identification, reports indicate that the Department of Homeland Security is allegedly targeting conservatives, Christians, and Republicans through an anti-terrorism program.
The Targeted Violence and Terrorism Prevention Grant Program provided funding for several groups to prevent being targeted by terrorists, however, it has allegedly been used to target conservatives, with the vague grant application often focusing on media literacy. The University of Rhode Island received a grant in 2022 to combat disinformation, conspiracy theories, propaganda, and domestic extremism in local communities. The program, which has awarded 43 grants totaling $20 million in 2022, was sourced from the Countering Violent Extremism Grant Program and established by former President Barack Obama in 2011, but was halted by former President Donald Trump in 2017. President Joe Biden revamped the initiative and established a new center to replace the office that administered the program and created a new intelligence division within the department dedicated to domestic terrorism.
The Epoch Times: Greg Abbott Signs Bill Making Illegal Voting a Felony in Texas

Human Events: LIBBY EMMONS: The Biden White House is ideologically captured by
trans activists
The Biden White House is pushing policies that are in direct opposition to Americans' freedom. They are not open to any measure of dissent, and are targeting states that are actively trying to protect children and women's sports. The Department of Education is proposing changes to Title IX that would allow boys who claim to be girls to join in those contests. The White House refuses to answer the question about the physical safety of females directly competing against males in sports, claiming it is a "complicated issue" and accusing the reporter of saying "transgender kids are dangerous".
The Federalist: Biden’s Reversal On LGBT Issues Proves He’s In It For The Money
From opposing gay marriage to hosting topless transgenders and flying a massive gay pride flag from the White House, Joe Biden has radically reversed course on LGBTQ+ issues. His administration has also embraced the most extreme and damaging aspects of the transgender agenda, including allowing male soldiers to use female showers and bedrooms and trying to force doctors to perform trans surgeries against their religious beliefs and conscience objections. Beyond his stance on sex and gender, Biden has changed his position on issues like systemic racism, once opposing forced busing but now implementing Marxist measures to promote "racial equity." However, evidence of a bribery scandal involving Biden and his son in relation to Ukrainian energy company Burisma is mounting, as are revelations about wire payments to Biden family members from foreign nationals while he was Vice President. Biden is a serial liar who will say and do anything for power and influence.
Washington Free Beacon: PHOTO ANALYSIS: Trump Makes Journalists Run for Their Lives Like a Bunch of Nerds
Journalists rushed out of a Miami courtroom where Donald Trump was being arraigned for mishandling classified documents. Trump's indictment is a godsend for American journalists who struggle to find meaning in their work under a Democrat president. Trump content generates the most clicks and gives journalists a high, but nothing compares to their imagination of fighting white supremacy and fascism.

The Federalist: SCOTUS Upholds Indian Child Welfare Act

The Imaginative Conservative: Sometimes It Takes a Baby to Bring Out the Humanity in Us
Air travel isolates people in their own bubbles, with minimal human interaction.

The incident shows how the disappearance of the human element in daily interactions makes life sterile, and favors self-interest over human solutions.
Daily Wire: ‘Spider-Verse’ Sequel Banned In Saudi Arabia, UAE Over Trans Flag: Report
The sequel to Marvel's "Spider-Verse" has been banned from theaters in the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, and the Middle East due to its failure to pass censorship requirements, sparked by the inclusion of a "Protect Trans Kids" poster seen in the film. Vox Cinemas, the leading theatrical firm in the UAE and Saudi Arabia, has not provided any reasons for the film's ban, but it is reported that it is because the flag violates local customs and values. This is not the first time a movie has been banned in the region for homosexual content .
In 2022, Disney's Pixar film "Lightyear" was also shelved and didn't get released due to an LGBTQ love storyline and a kiss between two female characters. In April 2022, "Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness" was also banned from a theatrical release for its inclusion of a gay character .

The Epoch Times: Time to End China’s Economic Advantages as a 'Developing Country'
Congress is realizing that the U.S.'s engagement with China has failed and is establishing the House Select Committee on the Strategic Competition Between the U.S. and the Chinese Communist Party to investigate and submit policy recommendations about Beijing's threats. The U.S. Senate is debating whether to remove China's developing nation status, a classification that provides China benefits such as discounted long-term loans and increased foreign direct investment. Losing this status would be a body blow to the already weak Chinese economy. Beijing has been emotionally lashing out and accusing the U.S. of "bullying" in response to this possibility.
Daily Wire: ‘Cost Of War’: Czech President Calls For Russians Living In The West To Be Under ‘Strict Surveillance’
Russian citizens living in the West should be monitored closely and put under "strict surveillance" by intelligence services due to their status as citizens of a nation currently engaged in an aggressive war, according to the President of the Czech Republic, Petr Pavel. Speaking to Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, Pavel argued that Western powers should be monitoring Russians "much more" than they have done in the past, with security services scrutinising their activities. Pavel's hardline stance has been criticised and his office has since released a statement indicating that he did not mean that internment camps should be created for Russian citizens. The Ukrainian conflict has resulted in hundreds of thousands of Russians fleeing the country, with some estimates suggesting that as many as one million may have been displaced since the invasion of Ukraine began in February 2022. The Czech President's office has explained that most Russians support the war and that they pose a risk to Western nations as a result.

The Epoch Times: Top US Chipmaking Equipment Supplier Accuses Chinese-Owned Rival of Trade Secret Theft Campaign
Applied Materials Inc. is suing Chinese-owned rival Mattson over an alleged 14-month orchestrated campaign to steal some of its most valuable intellectual property. The lawsuit mainly centers around Mattson's dedicated efforts to lure key staff members away from Applied Materials and the suspicious circumstances coinciding with their departures. Mattson is backed and operated by Beijing’s city government, which means the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
Applied Materials also sued Canfeng Lai, the latest employee to depart the company, who admitted in a declaration to the court to sending Applied Materials documents to a personal email account. According to Applied Material, the new chamber is a significant step forward in the production of high-performance chips. In 2018, the Justice Department under the Trump administration launched its “China Initiative” that focused on corporate espionage, but it was ended in February 2022. In March, a bill was introduced to re-establish the China Initiative.

Breitbart: Biden Touts U.S. Building World's Largest Solar Plant — in Angola
Biden brags about plans to build one of the world's largest solar plants in Angola, claiming it will support exports of U.S. solar panels. Despite Africa's population hitting one billion residents in 2009, Biden claims the country will soon have one billion people.

The Epoch Times: Majority of Canadians Say Justice System 'Too Lenient' on Violent Criminals: Poll
A new poll shows that a large majority (79%) of Canadians believe that too many violent offenders are being offered bail, and that Canada's justice system is too lenient on violent criminals (78%). Only 32% of respondents agreed that the justice system is firm and fair. Respondents prioritized violent crimes like murder and assault (55%), followed by illegal firearm possession (41%) and drug and substance abuse (37%). Proposed changes to Canada's criminal code would create reverse onus such that the defence must now prove why a suspect should get bail instead of the current approach which mandates prosecutors prove why the suspect shouldn't. The survey was conducted online on behalf of Postmedia by Leger Marketing and included 1,525 Canadians aged 18 and up from June 2 to June 4.
