Breitbart: Over 500 Feared Dead in Mediterranean Migrant Boat Sinking
The Greek coast guard is being criticized for its response to a ship carrying migrants that capsized off the country’s south coast, with 500 people presumed drowned. Both coast guard and private ships offered to help the vessel while it was in international waters, but their help was declined. Any attempt to tow the overcrowded trawler or move hundreds of unwilling people onto nearby ships would have been too dangerous, said a coast guard spokesman. The refusal of assistance could be overruled if deemed unreasonable, as it seemed to have been on Wednesday, according to maritime law experts. The search-and-rescue operation for survivors continues.

The New American: Correcting a Convention of States Blog Misleading Readers Regarding Founders' View of Amendments Convention - The New American
A blog post claiming Founding Fathers' support for a constitutional convention, written by Gregory Kipp and endorsed by Convention of States (COS), has been criticized for misrepresenting the facts. Although the post provides quotations from George Mason, George Washington, James Madison, Thomas Jefferson, and Alexander Hamilton, it fails to show that these historical figures supported the type of convention COS endorses. Instead, these Founding Fathers only advocated for a process by which the Constitution could be amended. Madison and Washington, in particular, had warned of the dangers posed by an amendments convention, which would be fatal to the Constitution and the liberties it was designed to protect.
The Epoch Times: NJ AG Says Telling Parents About Child Changing Genders at Schools Is Outing Them
New Jersey Attorney General Matthew Platkin is facing a court petition by Christian organizations and parents who are outraged at his decision to block a parental notification policy regarding student gender identity. Platkin claims the policy violates state discrimination laws and is therefore illegal, but attorney Karyn White, who represents the group in its petition against Platkin, called the idea that telling parents what’s going on with their children while at school is illegal and discriminatory “crazy.” The group is also angry that Platkin has used his own Division of Civil Rights (DCR) to file a civil rights complaint against the board for adopting the policy.[ ]
Newsbusters: PBS Cries 'Projection' As GOP Promises To Combat DOJ Weaponization
2024 Republican candidates aim to undermine federal agencies, such as the Justice Department, while seeking to run them, causing concerns about long-term potential consequences. Liberals accuse Republicans of projecting their own desires onto the DOJ, citing Trump's promise to go after those who came after him. While institutions should be respected, if the 2024 GOP candidates aim to reform and improve them, that should be a good thing.
Red State: Joe Biden Gets Community-Noted Into Next Week Over Gun Lies
Joe Biden made a false claim about gun deaths in America on Twitter, saying guns are the killer of children. However, accidents are the leading cause of death for children and adolescents, according to the CDC. Biden's post was an attempt to conflate high numbers of gun deaths with "assault weapons" as a justification to ban them, but AR-15s and similar rifles account for a tiny fraction of deaths caused by firearms in America. The continuous conflation of gun deaths with "assault weapons" is deeply dishonest and meant to play on emotions rather than serve the American people with fact-based policy. Biden is just rattling because it's election season.
Fox News: Northern California county mulls secession as local activist spearheads effort
A secession movement is underway in El Dorado County, California, spearheaded by local activist Sharon Durst, who is calling for the formation of a new state under the name Republic for El Dorado State. Durst contends that the new state would enable residents to restore their livelihoods and protect their rural way of life, which is being threatened by creeping urbanization. She is basing her proposal on Article 4, Section 3, of the Constitution, which she argues enables the county to separate from California, not the California Legislature. Nevertheless, both the California Legislature and Congress must give their approval for any proposed secession.
Meanwhile, campaigns to secede from blue states are gaining momentum elsewhere. The so-called Greater Idaho movement aims to incorporate conservative eastern Oregon into Idaho, while in California, voters in San Bernardino County have approved a ballot proposal exploring the possibility of secession.

Breitbart: Leftists Hate Diversity: New York City Venue Cancels Candace Owens' 'BLEXIT' Event
The Music Hall of Williamsburg cancels BLEXIT event featuring Candace Owens, Charlie Kirk, and Brandon Tatum, claiming the Black conservative group ‘provides a platform for hate speech’; however, the venue said one thing publicly and another privately. The BLEXIT event will now take place at Triplex LIC on Saturday. The BLEXIT director called the cancellation a "troubling example of cancel culture at its worst" and said: "It’s simply remarkable how much energy and effort New York City liberals put in to preventing Black and brown Americans from hearing a different point of view."
Red State: Empty Stadium Solidifies the Dodgers (and MLB’s) Pride Failure
On Friday night, the LA Dodgers held their Pride Night, leading to protests by religious groups upset with the re-invitation of the "Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence," a group that combines gay sexual performances with Catholic rituals. The night was plagued by poor decisions, including the early hook of debut pitcher Emmet Sheehan who was nursing a no-hitter, and a 7-5 victory by their rival San Francisco Giants. Dodgers player Clayton Kershaw, among others, condemned the invitation of the offensive group and was joined by Florida Senator Marco Rubio and officials from various religious groups. The MLB has had a difficult Pride Month with controversies arising from players' past social media posts and liberal sports writers reacting negatively to players' beliefs.
Fox News: Rocker Dee Snider implores others to join him in standing up to cancel culture mob: ‘You don’t have to cave’
Dee Snider, former frontman of Twisted Sister, discussed his new book "Frats," which tells the story of a young student struggling through a new neighborhood and high school in Long Island, NY. Snider claims that the book is based on "true events" of his experience growing up in the early 1970s where high school gangs established their own pecking order. Snider also spoke with Fox News Digital on the importance of standing up for one's beliefs, specifically mentioning the backlash faced by KISS singer, Paul Stanley, who opposed providing gender affirmation for minors. Snider urges people to stay strong and not to apologize if they believe they did nothing wrong.

The Epoch Times: Putin Confirms Russia Sent Nuclear Weapons to Belarus
Russian President Vladimir Putin has confirmed that his country has moved nuclear warheads to Belarus, marking Russia's first deployment of such weapons outside of its own territory since the fall of the Soviet Union. The move, which Putin justified as an "element of deterrence", has been condemned by the international community, with the United States, France, and China warning that the use of nuclear weapons in the ongoing war in Ukraine will not be accepted. As for Belarus, the country's president Alexander Lukashenko has claimed that the deployment of nuclear weapons will boost security, adding that it was his own demand.
The deployment of nuclear weapons in Belarus comes as the United States has suspended exchanging information about its nuclear arsenal with Russia following the suspension of the New START treaty by Russian authorities in February. The treaty, which was signed between the US and Russia, limits nuclear weapons and authorizes inspections of stockpiles and facilities. Putin justified the suspension by claiming that Russia could not allow a US inspection of its nuclear sites at a time when it is engaged in conflict with the US and its NATO allies over Ukraine. The Biden administration has expressed its intent to move forward with nuclear negotiations with Russia and China without any preconditions.
Breitbart: Russia Takes Advantage Along Southern Front with Helicopters: UK Intel
Russia has deployed attack helicopters to the southern front in Ukraine, giving it a "temporary advantage" in the conflict, according to British military intelligence. The UK Ministry of Defence stated that since the counter-offensive against Russian-backed forces was launched by Ukraine earlier this month, Russia had moved 20 extra attack helicopters to the Berdyansk Airport. A day after the news, the US, UK, Denmark and the Netherlands announced an emergency military aid package to provide Ukraine with “high-priority air defence equipment”.
Russian state media reported that missile strikes had successfully targeted a Ukrainian "decision-making centre" on Friday. Russia has been accused of bombing Ukrainian “decision-making centres” in May, including the Ukrainian military’s Main Intelligence Directorate (GUR). President Putin stated: “We’ve been talking about the possibility of striking the ‘decision-making centers.’ Naturally, Ukraine’s military intelligence headquarters falls into such a category."

Forbes: Ranking Netflix’s ‘Black Mirror’ Season 6 Episodes From Worst To Best
Black Mirror returns to Netflix after a four-year hiatus with five new episodes. The worst episode, Mazey Day, features a werewolf twist that is just bizarre. Demon 79 is an episode with humor, but not good-weird, as it is predictable with a surprisingly bleak ending. Beyond the Sea features bigger name cast members, but is a predictable episode with an unnecessarily bleak ending. Joan is Awful is a meta episode that pokes fun at Netflix, but is weird enough to work. Finally, Loch Henry is a True Crime-style murder mystery with a great twist and a tacked-on bit involving Streamberry.

Fox News: Oscars voters slam Hollywood inclusion standards amid new diversity rules
The Academy Awards are facing criticism for implementing new diversity and inclusion guidelines for "Best Picture" eligibility. The regulations require films to submit a dossier detailing the race, gender, sexual orientation, and disability status of cast and crew. Some directors and producers have criticized the rules and fear it will force them to limit their choices. The new guidelines may disqualify classic films like "The Godfather" and "Schindler’s List" from Best Picture consideration. Actor Richard Dreyfuss strongly condemned Hollywood's new inclusivity standards, calling them "ridiculous" and declaring that they "make me vomit." Despite receiving backlash, the 2023 Best Picture winner "Everything Everywhere All at Once" met the inclusion criteria.

Fox News: Ukraine's Zelenskyy inspired by Polish artist who chronicled freedom and liberty
Jan Matejko's paintings depict significant events in Poland's history and the struggle for independence from foreign rule. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy viewed Matejko's famous painting "Stephen Bathory at Pskov," which portrays Bathory's victorious military campaign against Russia in 1580, sending a clear message that Russia can be defeated. Matejko's most prized works include "The Baptism of Poland," commemorating the birth of the modern Polish nation, and "Kosciuszko at the Battle of Raclawice," a tribute to Polish revolutionary Tadeusz Kosciuszko. Matejko's paintings remain a symbol of Polish identity and pride.

The Epoch Times: Sunak Delays Ban on Junk Food Multibuy Deals Amid High Cost of Living
The UK government has delayed the ban on multibuy deals on junk food for another two years due to high food inflation. The ban on HFSS, including "3 for 2" deals, will come into effect in October 2025. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak defended the delay, saying it is essential to balance the impact on consumers and businesses with the mission to reduce obesity. The other parts of the strategy, such as mandatory calorie labelling on menus and the ban of placing HFSS products in prominent locations in shops, have already taken effect. Critics argue that any further delay will harm public health and increase the burden on the NHS.
The Epoch Times: 2 Acupoints and Food Suggestions to Help Relieve Abdominal Pain
