Daily Wire: Illegal Immigration Costs Hospitals Billions In Unpaid Bills, House GOP Report Finds
Illegal immigration is causing American hospitals to suffer billions of dollars in unpaid medical bills, as hospitals are often not reimbursed for services provided to illegal aliens. Texas alone pays $62-90 million per year for illegal aliens under its Emergency Medicaid program, and uncompensated costs for illegal immigrants in Texas ranged from $597-717 million from 2006-2008. A program in Illinois estimated to cost $2-4 million is now estimated to cost $1.1 billion due to the unexpectedly high number of participants. Chicago and New York City are struggling to pay for and procure housing for thousands of foreign nationals who have entered the country, and the Biden administration plans to increase the number of foreign nationals the US will accept via the CBP One App. Illegal immigration costs US taxpayers approximately $151 billion every year, and 63% of Americans disapprove of Biden's handling of the border crisis.

The New American: Railroads Are Overwhelmingly Safe, but Congress Wants More - The New American
The recent Rail Safety Act bill promoted by Senators Vance and Brown is mostly grandstanding and pandering to special interests, rather than improving rail safety. The bill includes regulations that would make freight more expensive, freeze train crew sizes, and require more inspections that can only be performed by union workers. The leading cause of derailment is human error, and the solution lies in more automation rather than more people. The rail industry is already overwhelmingly safe, and private investment is the number one input to further improve rail safety. Congress should pursue policies that benefit the American public, not just special interest groups.
The Federalist Papers: Trump’s Important Call on Arraignment Day Was Denied: Report
Fox News allegedly declined former President Trump's request to speak during prime time on the night of his arraignment, according to Human Events. Sources claim that Fox News won't even allow Trump on the network unless it is a taped interview so they can edit it. Critics suggest that this decision, combined with other recent events such as the firing of Tucker Carlson and James Murdoch's $100 million spent opposing Trump, is evidence that Fox News has abandoned its conservative viewers.
The Epoch Times: Mississippi Becomes Ground Zero in National Fight Over Ballot Harvesting
A new Mississippi law banning the practice of ballot harvesting is being challenged by several civil rights organizations, who argued that it will harm minority voters and people with disabilities. The law would prevent a third party from collecting an absentee ballot from a voter and delivering it to a polling place. Governor Tate Reeves described ballot harvesting as a process where a political operative collects and handles massive amounts of absentee ballots and maintains the practice could take advantage of elderly and vulnerable voters. Voting rights activists have described the terms “ballot harvesting” or “voter harvesting” as essentially pejoratives for “voting.” Mississippi is not the only state to ban ballot harvesting, with over 30 other states doing the same.
After years of criticizing mail voting and ballot harvesting, the Republican party is shifting its course. Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel has announced a “Bank Your Vote” initiative for 2024, which emphasizes “in-person early voting, absentee voting, and ballot harvesting where legal,” while also pledging “to fight against bad ballot harvesting laws.” Democrats have been critical of the new GOP effort after years of messaging by Republicans against mail voting. Several civil rights organizations are challenging the new Mississippi law banning ballot harvesting, arguing that it will harm minority voters and people with disabilities. Over 30 other states have also placed restrictions or bans on the practice of third-party ballot collections.
Fox News: National Republicans wade into 2023's most heated race, launch first attacks in bid to take down red-state Dem
Republican Governors Association launches attack ad against Democratic Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear, targeting his stances on gender ideology, abortion and crime. The RGA aims to portray Beshear as more left-leaning than his moderate image suggests as they seek to flip the governorship in a predominantly red state.
Kentucky's gubernatorial race between Beshear and Republican Attorney General Daniel Cameron is seen as a crucial battle for Republicans, who hope to win back control of the Senate and expand their majority in the House of Representatives. The race is also viewed as a bellwether for the 2024 presidential election. Beshear is one of the few remaining Democrats holding statewide office in Kentucky.
Fox News: Top Biden campaign aide's husband gave Hunter Biden rapid response help as Burisma scandal swirled
Elizabeth Alexander, communications director for First Lady Jill Biden, who is a top aide for President Biden's re-election campaign, is married to David Wade, a consultant who helped advise Hunter Biden on crisis communications when he was facing scrutiny regarding his position on the board of Ukrainian energy company Burisma Holdings. Wade left the State Department in 2015 and started a consulting firm called GreenLight Strategies, where he was hired by Eric Schwerin, the president of Hunter's now-dissolved Rosemont Seneca Partners, to help with "rapid response" regarding Burisma. Wade requested $10,000 for the initial project and Schwerin forwarded the request to Hunter, who was on board with the proposal.
Hunter Biden's associates, Devon Archer and Eric Schwerin, were closely involved in seeking legal access to their business partner's father, then-Vice President Joe Biden, for a business deal with a Chinese company. In May 2017, Archer and Schwerin, who worked with Burisma and other Hunter Biden ventures, detailed their relationship with CEFC China Energy executive Patrick Ho to gain entry to the Nuclear Secutity Administration building in Washington. Ho used his influence to help Burisma and Rosemont Seneca Partners, Archer and Biden's investment firm, form a business relationship with China's state-backed energy company, according to emails. Biden has said he was unaware of his son's business dealings.

The Epoch Times: Federal Judge Issues Order on Trump's Classified Documents Case
U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon has ordered all parties involved in the case against former President Donald Trump to obtain security clearances for lawyers who will need them, emphasizing the case's sensitivity with classified materials. She set a deadline of June 16, 2023, for attorneys to be cleared and subsequently file a Notice of Compliance no later than June 20. Cannon faced pressure and criticism from mainstream media and Democrats, who called on her to recuse herself from the case, as she was appointed by Trump, and they feared she would act in a biased manner. The case brought against Trump charges him with 37 counts related to his mishandling of classified documents.
Former President Donald Trump has entered a not guilty plea in the case alleging he mishandled classified documents, which U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon is overseeing. Trump faces 37 charges regarding his handling of classified documents. Critics have attacked Cannon's prior rulings and potential mindset in the case, referencing leaks to the media regarding Trump, but Cannon appeared to make allegations of election interference due to the nature of the case. Trump had returned to his Bedminster, New Jersey resort to deliver a speech attacking the Justice Department, special counsel Jack Smith, and other federal officials. He also faces legal issues in Fulton County, Georgia, and from the Manhattan district attorney's office, as well as a federal grand jury in Washington, D.C., and polls have shown he is currently the front runner for the GOP in the 2024 election.
Newsbusters: MSNBC Demands Judge Cannon, Roberts, Allow Them To Video Trump Trial
MSNBC contributor Neal Katyal demanded that the judge overseeing Trump's arraignment work with Chief Justice John Roberts to televise the trial. He argues that the trial is worthy of being broadcasted as it's one of the most important in the nation's history. MSNBC has been discrediting Judge Aileen Cannon's ability to be impartial, which is concerning, as they're demanding the judge rule certain ways while also asking her to consider their programming demands.
Katyal's push to televise Trump's arraignment is based on the idea that Americans should be able to see what is happening inside the courtroom since it's paid for by American dollars and is the people's courtroom. However, turning the trial into a televised spectacle would attract viewers more than educate them on the legal issues at hand. Despite this, Katyal argues that televising trials can be successful, and he cites the case against Derek Chauvin as an example. He hopes that the Chief Justice will ultimately make the call to televise the trial but acknowledges that he does not know Judge Cannon well enough to predict her decision.

The Blaze: SCOTUS upholds law that assigns child custody on basis of race, putting Christian Texas family at risk of being torn apart: 'Should raise alarm bells'
The Supreme Court has voted to uphold the Indian Child Welfare Act's placement preferences, which gives Native Americans preferential treatment in adoption and foster care proceedings when it comes to Indian children. The case was brought forward by three white families, including Chad and Jennifer Brackeen, who were subject to segregationist efforts by tribesmen to tear their child away from their loving family, despite the biological and adoptive parents being in agreement about the proposed adoption. The Brackeens and two other families argue that the ICWA's placement preferences "disfavor non-Indian adoptive families in child-placement proceedings involving an 'Indian child' and thereby disadvantage those children — discriminate on the basis of race in violation of the U.S. Constitution."

Fox News: Russian malware compromises Energy Department, other federal agencies

The Epoch Times: Tesco Boss Sees ‘Early Signs' Food Inflation Starting to Ease
Tesco CEO Ken Murphy believes there are signs that inflation is beginning to ease despite ongoing cost-of-living pressures for customers. The Consumer Prices Index rose by 8.7% in the 12 months to April 2023, down from 10.1% in March. Tesco has not held talks with the government on plans for voluntary food staple price caps, and has defended its sharp pricing, while also cautioning that commodity prices for certain products, like potatoes and rice, continue to fluctuate due to weather conditions and crop yields. Governor of the Bank of England, Andrew Bailey, said the rate of inflation is proving more stubborn than expected and profits and profit margins are not rebounding for many major supermarket chains despite falling cost pressures.
Fox News: Wisconsin's GOP-controlled Legislature votes to end funding for pandemic-era child care program
Republicans in Wisconsin voted to end funding for a pandemic-era child care program, despite objections from Democrats and child care providers. The move will affect needy families and the state's economy. The program, known as Child Care Counts, provided nearly $600 million to over 4,900 child care providers from March 2020 through March 2023. Providers used the funds to cover expenses such as rent, mortgage payments, and utilities. Democrats argued that the program was crucial, and failing to continue the grants would have a devastating impact on children and the state's economy.
The Epoch Times: Inflation, Interest Rates Weighing on Canadians' Retirement Plans: Survey

USDA is giving $320 million to agricultural producers and food businesses to improve markets, create jobs, control food prices, and improve nutrition in the US. The investments seek to strengthen the supply chain, make the food system more resilient, and create opportunities for mid and small-sized operators. The beneficiaries include a meat market, a bison processing facility, a berry processor, a plant-based yogurt manufacturer, and a cold storage facility. The funding will also back North Country Growers in New Hampshire, which is getting a $19.9 million guaranteed loan to build a 20-acre hydroponic greenhouse in hopes of growing 30 million lettuce heads per year.
The Epoch Times: Canadians Opting for Shorter Mortgage Terms as They Hope for Declining Interest Rates
Homeowners and buyers are opting for shorter mortgage terms as Canadian mortgage rates are at their highest in a decade due to increased interest rates. Before the Bank of Canada raised rates, five-year terms were commonplace. However, a three-year term followed by renegotiation, even with a two-year penalty, is becoming popular, providing rates drop over the next few years. A 2023 Mortgage Report by the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation indicates that new and renewed mortgages for fixed-rate mortgages lasting five years or more represented only 13% of the total, compared to 46% in 2020, while those with terms of one to three years made up 36%. However, borrowers should also be aware of the potential of penalties and the need to consult mortgage specialists before making any decisions.

Spectator USA: The earned smugness of Ulysses readers
Joyce's Ulysses is both celebrated and maligned each year on June 16th, Bloomsday, which marks the day when the novel is set. Some hail it as the greatest piece of literature ever written, while others find it pretentious and impenetrable. The novel is a stream of consciousness epic based on Homer's Odyssey, and has raunchy sexual references and whole sections without any punctuation. It takes longer to read than it did for the character, Leopold Bloom, to traverse Dublin. Despite the difficulty of reading it, the book is admired for its lavish explosion of words and thoughts covering topics such as marriage, religion, politics, and drinking.

Human Events: NICOLE RUSSELL: Dan Crenshaw exposes Yale prof for having no
scientific evidence to back up demand for child sex changes
Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-TX) took on the issue of gender-affirming care for minors in a heated exchange with Dr. Meredithe McNamara. Crenshaw proposed a provision that would remove federal funding from hospitals that perform gender-affirming care for minors such as providing puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, or sex-change surgeries. McNamara and others have argued that this care is the "standard of care," but Crenshaw says there is no compelling or science-based evidence to suggest it is safe or helpful for minors. Stripping taxpayer-subsidized funding from these facilities is a way to protect children from irreversible life-altering surgery.

Meghan Markle's "Archetypes" podcast on Spotify will not be renewed for a second season as Spotify reportedly plans to change its output.

A North Carolina father took on a second job at a local Food Lion to work alongside his daughter and spend more time with her. James Culp, a retired Marine and director of a child development center, joined his 19-year-old daughter Astyn at the supermarket deli counter after she told him about struggles with unreliable colleagues.
