The Epoch Times: Senator Oh Arranging 50 Buses to Bring Protesters to Ottawa to Oppose Foreign Agent Registry
Senator Victor Oh is renting buses to transport up to 3,000 people to Ottawa to demonstrate against legislation calling for a foreign agent registry to address foreign interference activities on Canadian soil. Senator Yuen Pau Woo will also be leading the demonstration. The Chinese Immigration Act of 1923, known as the Chinese Exclusion Act, was established to stop Chinese immigration, and its 100th anniversary is on June 24, the day of the demonstration. The Canadian government's proposed foreign agent registry has not received government support and is currently being debated in the Senate.
The Epoch Times: Due to Schedule Impasse, RFK Jr. Appears Poised to Win New Hampshire Primary
President Joe Biden may lose his party nomination to Robert F. Kennedy Jr. in New Hampshire’s primary, following a successful push from Biden to switch it to second place after South Carolina. Republicans and Democrats in New Hampshire have vowed to stick to state law and hold the primary first, potentially leaving Biden off the Democratic ballot. A petition is calling for Biden to reconsider plans not to campaign in New Hampshire, arguing it could hurt his chances of winning the nomination. RFK Jr. has gained increased support, with a recent poll putting his favorability ratings ahead of Biden, and has attracted key influencers including former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey.
Rumors are circulating that Sen. Jeanne Shaheen may attempt a last-minute write-in campaign to keep Biden in the New Hampshire primary, but she is loyal to the state and has been fiercely critical of the DNC for meddling. Without Biden on the ballot, New Hampshire’s nearly 60% of independent voters will remain for the pool of Republican candidates, including frontrunner former President Donald Trump, giving Republicans an advantage. However, some speculate the issue could be a moot point, as the DNC has warned it will sanction any candidate who puts their name on the New Hampshire presidential primary ballot, and if Biden wins the election, it may ward off sanctions and alienating voters in the general election against him and other Democrat candidates.
Forbes: Jim Trusty Resigns: Here’s A Timeline Of All The Trump Lawyers Who Have Quit

National Review: The Corner: Justice Thomas Questions Deputizing Private Parties to Wield Federal Powers
Private attorney general provisions have been the subject of much debate as they allow private plaintiffs to bring lawsuits to enforce public interests protected by federal and state law, despite not having personally suffered an injury. The expansion of such provisions has been a long-held position for liberals and progressives, but a recent example of Texas using this tactic to enforce its abortion law has caused controversy. There are concerns that encouraging financial incentives to file more lawsuits could result in weak cases that ultimately set back the powers of the executive, as private litigation shifts the power from competent, strategic litigators to less well-informed parties. However, private attorney general statutes such as the qui tam lawsuit have been around since 13th-century England and have been thoroughly used in the United States to fight fraud during wartime contracting. The qui tam action allows litigants to bring a lawsuit in their name on behalf of the United States, with the relator pursuing the case as if it's their own suit once the United States declines to intervene. The qui tam mechanism has raised concerns that it violates the unitary concentration of executive power in the hands of the president under Article II. Justice Clarence Thomas argues that the statute places control of litigation in the hands of the Attorney General, which is against public interest, as it could lead to unseemly races for government investigations that could profit private parties. The chief purposes of the Act were to stimulate action against war frauds through diligent prosecution by attorneys and to offer large rewards to stimulate actions by private parties if prosecuting officers are tardy in bringing the suits. Thomas is more circumspect about where he would come out, referring it to "complex questions," indicating that he would leave the issues to parties and the court below to consider after resolving the statutory issues. Justices Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett agreed with Thomas that the Article II issue should be decided "in an appropriate case."
The Blaze: Horowitz: Powerful interstate law-making group planning agreement among governors to codify lockdown powers into law
State governments may be on the verge of codifying emergency "public health" authoritarianism, empowering governors to declare emergencies for an unlimited period with unlimited scope of authority. The proposed Model Public-Health-Emergency Authority Act strips citizens of constitutional rights and the ability to sue state governments, while granting governors unlimited martial law powers. The bill will be voted on at the upcoming conference of the Uniform Law Commission in July. It is crucial to raise awareness among legislators, particularly in red states, to prevent the spread of this percolating menace.

Former President Obama criticizes Republican presidential candidates Nikki Haley and Senator Tim Scott for not addressing crippling generational poverty that is a consequence of hundreds of years of racism in America. Obama suggests that the rhetoric of "can't we all get along?" needs to be undergirded with an honest accounting of America's past and present. Both candidates hit back against the former president's comments, with Scott accusing Obama of wasting the opportunity he had to bring the country together on race relations, while Haley accused Obama of setting "minorities back by singling them out as victims instead of empowering them."

The Epoch Times: Recent Rain May Not Be Enough to Halt the Shrinking of Canada's Cattle Herd
Canadian cattle farmers in the prairie provinces are continuing to see a steady decline in production due to severe drought conditions that have led to reduced pastures and water supplies. Creative solutions including hauling water by truck and trailer or filling dugouts via pipelines and pumps are being employed despite the toll it is taking on the industry. Last year, the size of the Canadian cattle herd fell to 12.3 million animals, the lowest since 1988. The situation could get worse this year as ranchers may sell their stocks. The number of beef cows in Canada is down 25% compared to 2005.

National Review: Stuff Your Peanuts and Cracker Jack, MLB
A group of religious bigots is set to be honored at a professional baseball game, and fans are outraged. One Catholic fan proposed an idea to hit baseball where it hurts – in the pocketbook; encouraging fans to cut back on concessions to show their contempt for the league's woke leadership. While the idea may be far-fetched, concessions make up a significant portion of MLB's revenue, and the suggestion could hit the sport's kowtowing owners and administrative lackeys where it hurts the most. The idea also gives papists far afield from Dodger Stadium the means to express their frustration at the league's insulting embrace of hate-steeped groups.
