The Western Journal: The Left Lost the Youth Vote: Just Look Who Showed Up to 'No Kings' Protests
The recent "No Kings" protests across the U.S. attracted an unexpected demographic, with many attendees being older, predominantly white individuals, rather than the anticipated progressive youth. Observers noted that the protests seemed to reflect a generational divide, with younger people appearing less engaged in the movement.
While the protests were largely peaceful, they were marred by violent incidents, including the assassination of a Democratic state representative in Minnesota. This has raised concerns about the potential for further unrest at such gatherings.

Times Of Israel: IAEA says Israeli strike directly hit Iran’s Natanz underground enrichment plant
Israel's military strike on Iran's Natanz nuclear complex directly impacted the underground uranium enrichment facility, according to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). This marks a shift from earlier assessments that indicated only indirect damage. The attack is part of Israel's campaign to counter what it perceives as an imminent nuclear threat from Iran.
The IAEA reported that while damage was confirmed at Natanz, other major Iranian nuclear sites, Isfahan and Fordo, showed no significant changes. Israel's offensive, launched amid escalating tensions, has resulted in Iran firing approximately 350 ballistic missiles at Israel, leading to casualties on both sides.

Retail spending fell by 0.9% in May, marking the second consecutive month of decline as consumers show increased caution amid tariff anxieties related to U.S. trade negotiations with China and the EU. A significant drop in car sales contributed to this decrease.
While spending on food and various consumer goods also declined, categories like furniture and clothing saw slight increases. Experts predict continued cautious consumer behavior could lead to a slowdown in economic growth, with potential implications for the labor market and overall spending trends.
The Imaginative Conservative: Considerations on Mercantilism
Mercantilism aimed to create a national economy during the rise of modern states in Western Europe, emphasizing a favorable balance of trade. President Trump's economic policies reflect a revival of mercantilist principles, prioritizing trade surpluses and economic self-sufficiency while opposing free trade.
Historically, mercantilists believed government regulation was essential for economic welfare, promoting exports and limiting imports. This economic nationalism supported the consolidation of state power and sought to enhance national wealth through strategic trade practices and military might.

Fox News: Jurors' questions in Karen Read retrial signal potential good news for defense
In Karen Read's retrial for the alleged murder of her boyfriend, jurors have posed questions that may favor her defense, particularly regarding the operating under the influence (OUI) charge. Experts suggest the inquiries indicate a focus on lesser charges rather than first-degree murder.
The defense is concerned about jury confusion stemming from the verdict slip, which may complicate their deliberations. Read's blood-alcohol level at the time of the incident is a central issue, with potential penalties for the charges she faces ranging from several years to life in prison.
