The Babylon Bee: Biden Announces Space Train
President Biden announced plans to build a state-of-the-art train in space at the annual dinner for the League of Conservation Voters in Washington.

The space train initiative was eventually scrapped after Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg discovered it was somehow racist.
The Epoch Times: America's Electric Grid Is Vulnerable Under Communist China's Threat: Expert
The United States' dependence on Chinese-made extra-high voltage transformers is leaving the country vulnerable to attack from China's communist regime, according to Tommy Waller, president of the Center for Security Policy. If the transformers, which are considered the backbone of America's power grid, were manipulated or turned off, it would be "extremely problematic," Waller warns. It could take up to four years to build one transformer, and specialized rail cars are needed to transport them, making them difficult to replace in an emergency. China has inserted itself into the market for electrification and has identified critical vulnerabilities in American society that it could exploit, Waller adds.
In recognition of this threat, Donald Trump issued an executive order in 2020 banning the purchase of bulk-power equipment designed or built by any company under the control of countries hostile to the United States, including China. The corresponding ban on Chinese electrical equipment remains in place under President Joe Biden's administration. However, Biden's green energy agenda, which aims to phase out traditional gas-powered cars and replace large, steady power generators with renewables like solar and wind, could create blackouts, warns Waller. He also notes that the grid is vulnerable to natural threats like solar weather. A large-scale power outage could cause widespread chaos and societal collapse in modern American society.
National Review: The Corner: Defiling Juneteenth
Juneteenth is a poetic celebration of emancipation of American slaves. However, some treat it as an opportunity to criticize the nation and its political culture. Kali Holloway attacks Republican lawmakers, claiming the GOP is a neo-confederate party. She raises legitimate objections, but her painful generalizations and category errors suggest an attempt to appropriate the gravity of the holiday for partisan political narratives.
Daily Wire: Don’t Fall For It, Republicans: Juneteenth Is Now Just Another Tool To Advance Equity (AKA Race-Based Discrimination)
Leftists are using Juneteenth as a tool to further Critical Race Theory in America, taking something positive and twisting it for their own agenda. Republicans need to be aware of this tactic as the Left preys on fear and gullibility in the GOP. Democrats are exploiting Juneteenth to promote equity and push for a total transformation of government that is based on race-based discrimination and redistribution of wealth, abandoning equality. The Left seeks power and knows that the GOP is either unwilling or too scared to call them out.

Forbes: Coast Guard Nightmare: Adventure Sub Expedition To The Titanic Disappears
A deep-diving submarine operated by OceanGate Inc is missing off the coast of Newfoundland Canada during an expedition to view the Titanic wreck. The US Coast Guard is leading the search for the missing sub and its five occupants, with concerns rising as the 96-hour life support window approaches. This highlights the need for better regulations and standardisations in the growing industry of deep-sea adventure tourism.
The US's decline in submarine rescue capabilities means that civilian submersible operators and private sector specialists may be the only realistic hope for rescuing the submarine's occupants, but even then, platforms may not be able to operate at the depths of the Titanic. Governments should begin a discussion on how to monitor and regulate civilian undersea activities to prevent accidents.
The Blaze: 'We've been canceled!' Documentary on risks of transgender medical procedures reportedly pulled from theaters after pro-trans group complains
"No Way Back" is a documentary on the risks of transgender medical procedures which was pulled from AMC Theatres after protests from the Queer Trans Project, a pro-trans group. The documentary was produced by "lifelong California Democrats and LGBT activists" and aims to take a non-religious, non-political look at the subject of transgender medical practices, including the risks and side-effects of cross-sex hormones and surgeries, and the implications of gender medicalisation on long-term health. Those involved in the project stressed that the film is not anti-trans people or anti sex-change surgery. The Daily Wire asked AMC Theatres for a comment on the cancellation, but received no response.

Spectator USA: The Taliban’s war on drugs could cost the West
The Taliban have cracked down on opium cultivation and have seen an 80% reduction in some parts of Afghanistan over the past year. However, targeting dealers alone will not stop drug addicts from finding ways to access narcotics as suppliers will simply shift to other regions. The iron law of prohibition shows that the fiercer the war on drugs is fought, the stronger and deadlier the drugs become. The Taliban's crackdown could lead to new, more potent drugs, such as fentanyl, flooding into neighboring countries and Western nations.

The Epoch Times: Changing Amortization, Cap on Insured Mortgages Not the Answer to Affordability: CMHC
Canada's housing agency president does not see extending mortgage amortizations and reducing the thresholds for insured mortgages as the answer to the country's housing affordability challenges. Rather, it's important to increase the number of available homes in supply-constrained areas to make it a more balanced market. Romy Bowers called attention to a similar program in the UK, where prices of starter homes rose by the same amount as the government subsidy, effectively removing all affordability gains. The focus should be on creating more purpose-built rentals and other homes that meet buyers' demands.

Human Events: Jack Posobiec on leading thousands of Christians in protest
against LA Dodgers ‘drag nun’ ceremony: ‘We exorcised demons’
Jack Posobiec led a protest against the Dodgers honoring the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, calling it a display of "abject sacrilege."

Posobiec thanked everyone who supported the protest and stated that they will continue to show up to defend their faith.
Posobiec showed images of the protest and stated that it was peaceful but passionate. He led the crowd in a Latin prayer outside of the stadium and stated that he never thought he would give a speech addressing a patronage of demons before thanking a bishop who performed an exorcism and perimeter prayer. Posobiec added that the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence wear face paint because they are "terrified to look themselves in the eyes" and that they are most scared of God.

Breitbart: New Zealand 'Equity Adjustor Score' Asks Surgeons to Prioritize Non-White Patients
A new policy introduced by Te Whatu Ora, a national public health agency in New Zealand, requires surgeons to consider the ethnicity of patients as a factor when scheduling surgeries.

The Equity Adjustor Score sets five factors to be considered in surgery priority lists: clinical priority, time spent on waitlists, geographic isolation, economic deprivation, and ethnicity. Surgeons in Auckland are expressing discomfort with the policy, with some calling it "medically indefensible." The New Zealand opposition parties pledged to halt the ethnic scoring system, calling it "offensive and wrong."
