The U.S. maintains informal relations and defense ties with Taiwan even as it recognizes Beijing as the government of China.

The Metropolitan Police may investigate Conservative Campaign Headquarters after a video was released showing staff partying in violation of lockdown restrictions imposed by their own government. Both former Prime Minister Boris Johnson and current Prime Minister Rishi Sunak have been fined for breaking lockdown rules, and lockdown violations were not limited to prime ministers, but also included the architect of lockdowns Neil Ferguson. The scandal has led to calls for Sunak's government to fall, with some arguing that the real scandal is the imposition of lockdowns at all.

Fox News: Israeli forces call in Cobra gunships against Palestinian militants during 'massive' rescue operation

During a series of arrest raids targeting Hamas and Palestinian Jihad militants, Israeli forces came under heavy fire resulting in seven soldiers receiving injuries.

Fox News: Netanyahu issues rebuke over Biden's rumored nuclear "mini-agreements' with Iran
Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu reiterated his opposition to any "mini-agreements" between the U.S. and Iran on a nuclear deal, stating that Israel "will do whatever it needs to" to defend itself from Iranian aggression, including terrorist proxies. Reports last week claimed that the U.S. and Iran had been holding quiet diplomatic talks, but the State Department spokesperson denied that there was a new deal. Israel has long opposed any nuclear agreement, arguing that Iran's nuclear technology development will enable it to create a nuclear weapon.
Severe Western sanctions on Iran were called into question earlier this year when the UN nuclear watchdog agency found that Iran's uranium enrichment had reached 84% purity, just below the threshold required to create a nuclear weapon.

Forbes: Some Silicon Valley Bank Customers Still Owe Loan Payments Despite Losing Their Deposits, Report Says
Asia-based clients of Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) lost their deposits and are still required to pay back loans to new owner First Citizens bank after the bank collapsed in March. The US Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation protected U.S. customers’ deposits, but not the deposits of SVB clients in China, Singapore, and other parts of Asia that held deposits in SVB’s branch in the Cayman Islands. First Citizens Bank is reportedly open to giving more time to repay the debt, but won’t legally allow clients to set off loans with Cayman-based deposits. SVB’s collapse was the third largest in US history.
The New American: The Price of Putting Politics Over Profits - The New American
The anti-woke backlash against major American corporations has cost them at least $28 billion, with more to come. Companies like Target and Kohl's suffered significant losses in market capitalization due to public backlash against their embrace of LGBTQ ideology. Starbucks, known for their woke agenda, quietly removed materials promoting "gay pride" after seeing the financial impact. Corporate America finds itself stuck between societal progressive impulses and conservative backlash, forcing leaders to choose between appeasing their inner ideologue and actually turning a profit. Such political involvement in marketing and merchandise is the reason for the backlash.
The Epoch Times: Has the Recession Already Started? May 2023 Edition
Experts are debating whether the United States is currently in a recession. The National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) does not consider the country to be in a recession according to its diverse set of criteria, which includes a significant decline in economic activity that lasts for many months, rather than simply measuring GDP. Although the country saw a dip in real GDP growth in the first and second quarters of 2022, it rebounded in the third quarter, growing by 2.6%, and even if growth slowed in the first quarter of 2023, the country did not reach recession territory as determined by the NBER. However, some experts predict a recession in the second half of 2023 due to slowing GDP growth and ongoing high inflation .

Red State: After Backing Down From Joe Rogan, Peter Hotez Completes His Humiliation on MSNBC
Anti-vaccine medical professionals like Eric Feingl-Ding and Peter Hotez have gained notoriety during the COVID-19 pandemic for making false declarations.

Hotez's mix of arrogance and cluelessness has fueled skepticism towards medical professionals. He is the embodiment of the scientific community's loss of credibility. Despite wanting to regain trust, as long as people like Hotez remain at the forefront of the movement, trust cannot be restored.

California restaurant owners will have to pay $140k in back wages to 35 employees after using a "priest" to spy on work sins.

According to a witness, the "priest" was employed to hear employee confessions of sins such as stealing from their employer, doing anything to hurt the company or being late for work. The company regularly threatened employees with adverse immigration actions if they cooperated with government investigations and in one case fired an employee for cooperating with the Labor Department.

Forbes: Carbon Tracking’s Trial By Fire
A massive carbon release from Canada's recent wildfires has pushed researchers to improve environmental monitoring technology to track carbon more precisely. This innovation has survived its first trial by fire and is set to change environmental legislation. The ability to precisely identify and track emissions could drastically increase regulatory choices available for combating climate change.
Companies like Microsoft and Google have invested in FlexiDAO, a carbon emissions tracking company that certifies energy sources. The internet of everything strategy and digital-grid integration permits the precise tracking of energy output and transfers. Additionally, UK-based firm Sylvera uses satellites, advanced imagery, and artificial intelligence to track carbon emissions in real-time. Companies in either model for carbon tracking are almost entirely dependent on cooperation with voluntary actors, but with the creation of a regulated, inspectable, and fungible carbon credit, and encouragement of private environmental innovation, innovation in carbon tracking could facilitate a carbon trading system.
