Fox News: Casey DeSantis defended after criticism of her 'insular marriage' in paper profile: 'How dare she be normal'
The Washington Post faced backlash for describing the marriage of Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and first lady Casey DeSantis as "insular" and "private." The article, "Tracing the power of Casey DeSantis," claimed the couple had an "inner circle of two." Some journalists compared the media's treatment of the DeSantis family to that of the Clintons. Casey DeSantis has previously been the subject of media scrutiny, including being called "Walmart Melania Trump" by The Daily Beast. Meanwhile, Politico invoked the "Lady Macbeth" trope to describe her, provoking further criticism.
Newsbusters: PolitiFact Defends Biden As 'Mostly True' That Gays Are Thrown Out of Eateries
PolitiFact rated President Biden's claim that Americans can be married in the morning and thrown out of a restaurant for being gay in the afternoon as "Mostly True" at a "Pride" celebration event. While some same-sex couples have been refused service in restaurants, it is difficult to track how often this happens. PolitiFact admitted there isn't good data to prove Biden's assertion but still gave him the "Mostly True" rating.
Fox News: Watchdog launches probe into IRS creating government-run tax filing system: 'Recipe for disaster'
The American Accountability Foundation is launching an investigation into the IRS for building a government-run tax filing program that critics argue would give the agency too much power. The investigation is seeking communications and documents from the IRS and the Office of Management and Budget concerning the creation of an IRS-run electronic tax filing system, commonly referred to as "direct file."

National Review: Juneteenth Is about the Black Family — Stop Making It about Abortion
On Juneteenth, we celebrate the beginning of black families living freely and safely. The black family has been and will always be the beating heart of efforts for racial justice and reform. Yet activists tout abortion as a “right” we should be celebrating on Juneteenth. Abortion destroys the families we’ve fought so hard to protect. Abortion solves none of the problems facing black families, it isn’t justice, it's death.
National Review: Officiating in America, &c.
Parents' nasty and violent behavior make it hard for Little League umpires and youth-sports officials to perform and handle situations. The Turkish Government's intelligence service has an agency called the "Office for Human Abductions and Executions," and they kidnap critics abroad to face the horrors of prison or grave. Meanwhile, the U.S. plans to rejoin UNESCO to counter the Chinese influence on trading and other international policies. Despite Republicans creating a cause to restore Confederate general names to the U.S. military base, it stands as an un-American motion as renaming it "Liberty" holds moral soundness. The Louisiana Army recently renamed a base after a World War I Harlem Hellfighter.
Foreign Policy: Norwegians Get a Bitter Taste of Their Own History
Norway’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission has released its five-year long final report, which highlights the policy of forced assimilation that targeted the Indigenous Sámi people and other linguistic minorities in Norway during the 20th century. While the report has been seen as a critical step to righting wrongs, minority groups are concerned about the lack of teeth in the recommendations made to shame the government into taking action to improve the situation. Currently, minority language education is difficult to access in many places, and development continues to threaten traditional lands and waters.
American Thinker: America: Then Versus Now
Conservatives wish to conserve the best aspects of the past, while progressive young people dismiss anything that came before themselves. Compare various aspects of younger America to what we have today, from muscle cars to leading actors, literature, and exploration. The West has lost its way, forgetting its raison d'etre, and it's time to realize that while we were sleeping, those that refuse to tolerate or include us have dramatically changed the world.

The Epoch Times: Yousaf Vows Independent Scotland Will Ban Nuclear Weapons
First Minister of Scotland Humza Yousaf has promised an independent Scotland would ban nuclear weapons from its soil. The Scottish National Party (SNP) would introduce a written constitution for the country if it gains independence, giving people in Scotland the opportunity to shape the country. The SNP has opposed the presence of nuclear weapons in Scotland since 2014. While the opposition has criticised the SNP’s plans, calling it "out of touch," Yousaf said the proposed constitution would provide "a constitutional right to healthcare available at the point of need, a right to an adequate standard of living as defined by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and protection for workers to take industrial action."
The Epoch Times: Thailand Hosts Talks to Reengage With Burma Despite ASEAN Members' Rejection
Thailand hosts an informal meeting among neighboring countries, including Myanmar, to discuss a cessation of violence despite opposition from ASEAN members Malaysia, Indonesia, and Singapore. The meeting's objective aligns with ASEAN's efforts to resolve internal conflicts in Myanmar, but ASEAN has barred Myanmar’s military junta from attending any ministerial meetings until it fulfills the 5-point consensus calling for an end to violence after the 2021 military coup. UN special representative to Myanmar, Noeleen Heyzer, has resigned from her position, after failing to spur the junta's engagement in political dialogue with opponents and end the crackdown (foreignaffairs).
Fox News: Americans in Taiwan mostly unfazed by US evacuation plan report
Americans living in Taiwan seem unfazed by reports of U.S. plans for evacuating citizens should China attack the island. Many are not preparing or giving much thought to the possibility of a Chinese invasion. Although Ross Feingold, a director of the Paris-based Association of Americans Resident Overseas, suggests that registering with the nearest consular office is advisable, he also views the reports of evacuation plans as nothing new. Concerns among those who have at least considered preparations include access to cash, and the availability and usability of air raid shelters, bomb shelters and radio broadcasts. Analysts suggest that fears of an invasion are part of Chinese propaganda.

Forbes: Alibaba Billionaire Jack Ma Steps Back Into Spotlight After Years Lying Low—But As A Teacher, Not A Tech Mogul
Chinese billionaire and Alibaba co-founder Jack Ma made a rare public appearance at a math competition in Hangzhou and gave a lecture as a visiting professor at the University of Tokyo last Monday, suggesting a return to his roots as an educator amid his prolonged absence from public view. Ma had crossed Chinese regulators in 2020 and had drawn ire from Beijing's political elite, leading to speculation about his wellbeing and whereabouts. Although his latest appearances suggest a return to the public scene, many of his engagements seem to be related to education rather than business.

National Review: The Corner: In Search of Right Words, Etc.
Officiating youth sports has become increasingly difficult due to the increasing levels of violence against umpires and refs. The pool of available umpires is likely to decline in the next few years, and no robo-umps are coming to save the day in high-school sports .
Ron DeSantis denounces Disney as a "multinational corporation". The phrase used to be employed by Marxists when inveighing against business, trade, capitalism. It's strange to hear it from Republicans today, as people who use these corporations' goods and services disparage them. A reader writes to thank the writer for their recommended Buckley book, saying that they write for pleasure and are inspired by WFB to find the right word. The Impromptus newsletter also touches on the homogenization of places and podium tyrants like Fritz Reiner .
American Thinker: Why Hollywood’s woke movies do so badly at the overseas box office
Disney's live-action remake of The Little Mermaid is filled with politically-correct "wokery" themes such as mixed-race mermen and an environmentally conscious King Triton. Despite mediocre reviews, it has made more than $414 million worldwide. However, its reliance on international audiences, who are less tolerant of politically-correct themes, may harm its long-term prospects.

The Epoch Times: Mama osprey braves Colorado hail storm to protect unhatched eggs—here's the live camera footage
A female osprey bravely protected her three eggs during a hailstorm at Boulder County Fairgrounds in Longmont, Colorado. Filmed by two live cameras in May, the bird showed dedication and a strong maternal instinct, withstanding the icy hail to ensure her eggs survived. Her efforts were rewarded when the first egg hatched on May 25th and two more chicks followed shortly afterward. Ospreys are thriving in the Boulder County region, with over 15 nests in the area, and county biologists are using motion-activated cameras to inventory and monitor the state’s native wildlife.
