Fox News: 'Oh s---t': Texas troopers make shocking discoveries in illegal immigrant's pickup truck
Texas troopers stopped a Mexican illegal immigrant smuggling 12 illegal immigrants, including two children, while in possession of a handgun and cocaine in Uvalde County on US-90. The driver, Sergio Sanchez-Zuniga, will be charged with smuggling, drug possession, and unlawful carrying of a weapon. DPS spokesman Chris Olivarez said the agency has rescued over 900 children from smuggling operations. The ongoing smuggling operations at the border, including of both accompanied and unaccompanied children, have lowered migrant numbers but officials remain cautious. Texas this week announced that it arrested an MS-13 gang member on a transnational criminal watchlist who had previously been deported.

National Review: Daniel Ellsberg, the Man Who Exposed Vietnam War Secrets, Dies at 92
Daniel Ellsberg, who leaked the Pentagon Papers, has died at age 92. Ellsberg copied the classified documents in 1969, which revealed the US government’s secret expansion of the Vietnam War across four presidential administrations and was the starting point for a scandal that would come to be known as Watergate. After a mistrial was declared due to government misconduct, Ellsberg turned to political activism and became an advocate of anti-nuclear causes. He is survived by his wife, children, five grandchildren, and one great-granddaughter.

The Federalist Papers: Hunter’s Business Partner Devon Archer ‘In Talks’ To Testify On Biden Bribery Scheme
Former business partner of Hunter Biden, Devon Archer, is discussing testifying about his knowledge of an alleged bribery scheme involving Joe Biden and Ukrainian energy company Burisma with the House Oversight Committee. An obtained FBI form shows that Biden allegedly received $10 million from a former Burisma executive as part of a quid pro quo arrangement to have a Ukrainian prosecutor investigating the company dismissed. Archer has a longstanding business association with Hunter Biden and played a role in securing his position on Burisma's board, and he is negotiating his compliance to a subpoena issued by the House Oversight Committee.
Red State: WATCH: Dem Presidential Candidate RFK Jr. Tells Joe Rogan He Has to 'Be Careful' so the CIA Doesn't Assassinate Him
RFK Jr. expressed concerns about the CIA's involvement in his potential presidency, drawing parallels to his uncle, JFK's, assassination. He believed JFK was "at war" with the military and intelligence apparatus and aimed to dismantle the CIA, which caused his frustration after the Bay of Pigs incident. Kennedy linked his uncle's tragic assassination with his actions of pulling troops from Vietnam, raising questions about intelligence agency influence and power. These statements reveal complex U.S. government dynamics during JFK's presidency and highlight the potential implications of RFK Jr.'s candidacy.
RFK Jr.'s concerns about the CIA may stem from personal experiences and historical events, but their significance in the current political landscape, including beliefs of federal agency weaponization, is uncertain. His growing support and polling numbers have sparked discussions about his impact on the election, potentially diverting votes from Joe Biden. The absence of primary debates due to an incumbent running further adds to the uncertainty surrounding the race. The potential reactions from official sources and the public will shape the narrative around RFK Jr.'s candidacy.

Fox News: Trump's GOP opponents test out different responses to his indictment as they jockey for position behind him
Former President Donald Trump faces 37 federal counts, but some of the GOP presidential hopefuls are reportedly more willing to defend him than others. Former Vice President Mike Pence initially pushed for Attorney General Garland to explain the indictment against a former president to the American public. Vivek Ramaswamy vowed to pardon Trump if he were elected president, while Former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis have taken different paths, with DeSantis staying quiet and Haley expressing support for pardoning the former president. Perry Johnson and Larry Elder have both stated they would pardon Trump if elected, while Senator Tim Scott criticized the charges as part of the Biden administration's "hunting" of Republicans and argued for a more equitable justice system. A poll from Quinnipiac University shows that Trump's favorability rating has remained steady among registered voters.
The Epoch Times: GOP Lawmaker Renews Push to Censure Adam Schiff
Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) introduced another resolution to censure Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), without a fine, accusing him of perpetuating the notion of collusion between Trump's campaign and Russia, which was debunked by Mueller, Horowitz, and Durham. The privileged resolution will force a vote on the House floor next week. The previous resolution was tabled, with 20 Republicans voting with Democrats against it. Speaker Kevin McCarthy gave credence to Republicans who joined Democrats, saying that some believe they should have gone to the House Ethics Committee first.
Newsbusters: Stenographers: Nets Shovel 20 Mins on Joe Fighting ‘Junk Fees,’ None on Bribery
The liberal media has a double standard in coverage of Biden-related allegations versus coverage of Trump-related allegations. However, there has been coverage of President Biden targeting ticket distributors to be more transparent about fees. The "big three" networks have spent a total of 16 minutes and 33 seconds on this topic in their morning and evening shows. The White House has met with executives from major ticket and travel companies who have vowed to show fees upfront. The companies have not agreed to eliminate fees or lower ticket prices. Despite these issues being important for consumers, it is unlikely that the media would cover it if a member of the Republican party was involved.
The Epoch Times: Attorney Parts Ways With Trump for 2nd Time, Citing 'Irreconcilable Differences'
Donald Trump's lawyer, Jim Trusty, has dropped out of a defamation lawsuit against CNN for his former client over "irreconcilable differences."

The move comes a week after Trusty, and another attorney, John Rowley, parted ways with Trump in a federal criminal proceeding over his handling of classified documents after leaving the White House.

The Epoch Times: Gender Critical Professor Forced From Job Raises £160,000 to Sue University
Prof. Jo Phoenix has raised over £160,000 to take the Open University to court after they failed to protect her from a bullying campaign by colleagues. She claims she was made to feel like a “pariah” and suffered two years of harassment after expressing gender-critical views about the silencing of academic debate on transgender issues. As a gender, law, and justice expert, she hopes the case will set a precedent to protect female academics from bullying and discrimination. Her legal fight comes just weeks after another university trans row involving a feminist academic who was deplatformed from a debating event at Oxford University after LGBT+ students labelled her transphobic.

Red State: Watch: DeSantis Hits the Bullseye in Response to Biden White House LGBTQ Topless Incident
Joe Biden's Pride event at the White House was marred by exhibitionist transgender influencers who got topless in front of families and children, causing the White House to scramble and condemn their behavior as "unacceptable" and "disrespectful." Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis called out the hypocrisy of the Biden administration for condemning the incident while promoting sexually explicit material in public school classrooms, stating that if it's inappropriate to do such things at the White House, "why do you want to have that curriculum jammed into a second grader’s classroom?" Incidents like this at Pride events are not the exception, but the rule, and every GOP candidate for president should be calling out what happened and paralleling it with the Biden agenda.

Whitworth made three promises to Bud Light stakeholders and customers, including investing in frontline employees, providing financial assistance to wholesalers and advertising its core brand. However, the statement stopped short of an apology, but Axios reports that Whitworth plans to embark on a summer road trip around the US to listen to customers.

The Epoch Times: Statewide ‘Anti-LGBTQ+’ Laws Are Threat to Military Readiness: Space Force General
Space Force Lt. Gen. DeAnna Burt suggests that anti-LGBTQ+ laws threaten military readiness, affecting recruitment and promotion decisions. Burt discusses considering personal circumstances for potential candidates for military assignments at various locations in the country, where laws in some states may consider them unsafe or affect critical health care for their families. Several groups, including DeSantis War Room and senior fellow Rebeccah Heinrichs, disapprove of Burt's comments, which come amid growing LGBT influence in the military. Sen. Marco Rubio and Rep. Jim Banks introduced the “Ensuring Military Readiness Act” in February to regulate the service of transgender individuals in the military.

The company also has its own global diversity and inclusion department, promotes Courageous Conversations on Race, and has policies to support employees who want to transition to another gender.

Daily Wire: Judeo-Christian Values Have Been Replaced In The West By New ‘Cultish’ Religion, Ben Shapiro Says
Ben Shapiro warns that traditional Judeo-Christian values, which once formed the foundation of American culture, have been replaced by a new toxic and cultish religion that seeks to destroy Western civilization. Shapiro blames this shift for the crumbling of American society in recent years, citing the lack of knowledge of religious traditions as evidence of the decline. He points out that while there are still shared values between Jews, Christians, and Muslims, the new values being pushed by schools and corporations are in stark contrast to the traditional values of these faiths. The new religion requires the destruction of the traditional forms of morality that undergirded Western civilization, according to Shapiro.

The Epoch Times: Where Did Our Understanding of Memory Come From?
The ancients viewed memory as a tool for creative thinking and developed techniques to perfect its use. The poet Simonides survived the collapse of a banquet hall and identified the dead by recalling where they had been sitting. He used the order of the seats to preserve the order of the banqueters, forming mental images and arranging them orderly. Aristotle linked mental images to memory and all thinking, while Thomas Bradwardine advised the formation of memorable images to be dramatic and exaggerated. Objects such as houses and the cosmos itself served as placemarks, while Metrodorus of Scepsis relied on astrology to create memory placemarks.
