The Epoch Times: New Brunswick premier open to leadership test, remains vague on early election call

One change requiring teachers to obtain parental consent before using the preferred pronouns and names of transgender and nonbinary students under the age of 16 sparked particular controversy. Social development minister Dorothy Shephard resigned after voting with the Opposition on a motion to review the changes. Higgs defended the changes but remains vague on whether he will call an early election.

Haugen criticized Facebook for not ensuring the "safety" of the 2024 elections and cutting back on unpopular censorship rules.

PJ Media: WATCH: Fake President Mocks Real Reporter For Asking Him Why He’s Called ‘the Big Guy’
Joe Biden responds to a question regarding his nickname "Big Guy" in a dismissive and insulting manner. The question concerns his alleged involvement in a bribery scandal involving Burisma Holdings and his son Hunter Biden. Biden's tactic of using ridicule to dismiss tough questions is a common tactic among leftist politicians. The source of the nickname and the allegations against Biden remain unanswered.
Flag And Cross: Hollywood Star Eva Longoria Recoils, Pushes Biden's Wandering Hands Away at White House Event
President Biden faced criticism on social media after an awkward hug with actress Eva Longoria at the White House. The hug was captured on camera during a screening of “Flamin’ Hot,” directed by Longoria. In a slowed-down clip, some viewers claimed Biden's hands appeared to be wandering to inappropriate places, while others dismissed the clip as an attempt to sexualize the moment. Biden has long faced allegations of inappropriate conduct with women and young girls, which he denies, and has been criticized for seemingly bizarre interactions in public. Neither Biden nor Longoria have publicly addressed the viral video as of Friday.
Newsbusters: Morning Joe: Trump's a Pathological, Deeply Weird, Bizarre, Criminal Hoarder
Morning Joe psychoanalyzes Donald Trump's attachment to classified documents retained after his presidency. Staffers referred to the boxes as "Beautiful Mind material," a reference to the movie about a schizophrenic math genius who covered walls with newspaper clippings and documents. Elise Jordan calls Trump's handling of classified documents bizarre and claims he was "hoarding" them. Eugene Robinson suggests that the documents were a weird security blanket for Trump, boosting his ego and reminding him that he actually became president.
Spectator USA: Is America apathetic enough for a third-party run?
Despite concerns about political polarization and rage in America, the prevailing mood as the presidential cycle begins is actually apathy. Donald Trump's recent arraignment failed to incite the kind of violence that both he and his critics seem to be anticipating, with Cuban Americans singing him happy birthday and saying a prayer for him instead. Meanwhile, both Biden and Trump are unpopular politicians running for office in 2024, and a centrist bipartisan group, No Labels, is considering a serious third-party run if the Democrats and Republicans field "unacceptable" presidential candidates, leading to nervousness among Biden's team and Trump's indifference.
Red State: Joe Biden Battles the Stage, Suffers a Self-Awareness Fail, and Pleads for the Queen in a Barn-Burning Connecticut Speech
President Biden's mental decline is on full display as he struggles to complete a simple speech at the National Safer Communities Summit in Connecticut. While joking about his age and claiming to have witnessed the illegal sale of AR-15s out of the back of a truck in Pennsylvania, Biden offers perhaps the biggest self-awareness failure of his presidency by claiming that the single worst abuse of all is the abuse of power. Biden's constant projection and gaslighting tactics are next-level, and he concludes his speech by asking for "God to save the queen" before struggling to exit the stage.
The Blaze: The smoke from the White House reveals the fires of Biden’s criminality
Former President Donald Trump has been indicted using the Espionage Act, which Mark Levin argues is unprecedented and likely wrong. Levin cites previous cases where former presidents, such as Lyndon Johnson and Bill Clinton, have taken classified information with them but were not met with the same level of scrutiny. He also brings up Hillary Clinton as an example of someone who was not investigated for similar actions. Levin notes that President Joe Biden is using the Espionage Act to try and destroy the country.

Cartel violence and other crimes in Mexico often use guns originating in the US. López Obrador has blamed a lack of love and hugs for the fentanyl crisis and has dismissed blame on Mexican drug labs for producing the illicit drug. He has also written to the Chinese President asking him to help stop the flow of precursors into Mexico.

The Epoch Times: Business Sector Disappointed With South Australia's Budget
South Australia's Labor government has unveiled its largest-ever package of cost-of-living relief measures in a budget that focuses on housing, health and hip-pocket relief. The package includes $474m for housing assistance, such as building 3,600 homes over five years, and abolishing stamp duty for first-time buyers. Cost-of-living support and energy rebates worth $254m have also been set aside; meanwhile, defence and space spending received commitments along with the signature policy of no new taxes and no tax increases. The Australian Industry Group, however, criticised the budget as "a band-aid measure", stating that it lacks any imaginative ideas and support for businesses dealing with skill shortages, rising input costs and inflation.
Forbes: How Signet, Brilliant Earth And Kendra Scott Will Manage A Bridal Jewelry Market Gone Sideways
The pandemic disrupted the stable wedding market and upended the evergreen bridal jewelry business. However, weddings are back on track after a slowdown in 2020, with more than 2.6 million couples marrying in 2022, resulting in a share of the $91.5 billion jewelry consumption market. Three major jewelers, Signet, Brilliant Earth, and Kendra Scott, are taking different approaches to cash in on the first all-important engagement ring purchase and establish lasting relationships with couples for future purchases. Signet, the nation’s largest jewelry retailer, will stay on course to leverage its current strategy, despite the “engagement gap,” and remain consistent and exceptional in the execution of its strategy. Brilliant Earth, on the other hand, is battling headwinds by leaning into them digitally, holding its asset-light showrooms as its strength, while Kendra Scott finds a back door to enter the bridal jewelry market and cater to both brides, grooms, and the full bridal party.

The Epoch Times: Surrey, BC, to Stay With RCMP Over Independent Force, Costing the City Millions
Surrey council has voted to reject the provincial government's recommendation to continue transitioning to the independent Surrey Police Service, opting to return to the RCMP as the police force of jurisdiction. The decision will cost the city "millions," but Mayor Brenda Locke has expressed confidence in provincial co-operation and said the option to stay with the RCMP was far less costly than moving forward with the Surrey Police Service. The government's recommendation in April came with a $150 million transition offer over five years, which will now not be offered due to the council's decision.

The family of Jayland Walker sues the city of Akron, Ohio, and its police department for alleged use of excessive force and participating in a "culture of violence and racism."

The Epoch Times: Poor Forest Management to Blame for Canada’s Wildfires, Not Climate Change
Canadian government blames climate change for out-of-control forest fires, but data shows the number of fires has decreased over the years. CO2 enrichment, which has been steadily increasing, has actually led to more plant and tree growth, including in Canada's forests. However, decades of mismanagement by Canadian governments have led to the need for prescribed burns and other forest-management procedures to mitigate damage caused by wildfires. The government's failure to prioritize proper forest management has resulted in trees and carbon policies going up in smoke.
