Front Page Magazine: Pro-Hamas Group Invests $100K in Muslim Mayoral Candidate
New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani is reportedly receiving significant financial backing from the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), which has ties to the Muslim Brotherhood. CAIR's Unity & Justice Fund has contributed $100,000 to support Mamdani's campaign.
Critics express concern over the implications of such support, suggesting it aligns with a broader agenda that prioritizes Islamic law. The contributions raise questions about the influence of groups like CAIR in local politics.

GB News: The three maps that reveal the TRUE SCALE of Britain's rape gang crisis - and it's much bigger than you realise
Baroness Casey's report on grooming gangs reveals over 800 cases of child exploitation across at least 50 towns in Britain, with authorities now facing increased scrutiny. The report highlights the need for a national investigation into these crimes, as many survivors seek justice.
The investigation uncovered extensive trafficking routes and patterns linking these offenses to areas with Labour-majority representation. Casey emphasized the lack of collected ethnicity data over the past decade, which she believes contributes to public mistrust and calls for a more robust response to these heinous crimes.

Front Page Magazine: 'Regime Change' Is Not the Same Thing as 'Nation Building'
The likelihood of the U.S. taking direct action in Iran appears low, with potential military efforts limited to targeting nuclear facilities rather than pursuing regime change. Israel's focus remains on neutralizing nuclear threats rather than instigating a regime shift, despite some enthusiasm for change.
The distinction between regime change and nation-building is crucial, as past experiences in Iraq and Afghanistan highlight the risks of the latter. Given Iran's current status as a nuclear-armed state with hostile intentions, the potential for worsening conditions raises concerns about the consequences of any intervention.

Le Monde: Why the Centre Pompidou, not even 50 years old, must close for five years
The Centre Pompidou in Paris is set to close for five years for major renovations, prompting backlash from staff, local residents, and art lovers who want partial access during the work. Concerns are heightened due to the building's relatively young age and previous renovation disruptions.
Architectural historian Boris Hamzeian notes that buildings from the latter half of the 20th century, like the Pompidou, age faster due to less durable materials. However, the structure was designed for flexibility and longevity, aiming for a lifespan of 500 years.

Front Page Magazine: By 2028, a Majority of California Community College Applications Will Be Fake
California's community colleges are facing a significant increase in fraudulent student applications, with estimates rising from 20% in 2021 to around 34% in 2023. This trend is attributed to the ease of using AI tools for deception, leading to over $10 million in federal aid being misallocated to fake students.
If current trends continue, projections suggest that 40% of applications could be fraudulent by 2026 and 50% by 2027, potentially resulting in a majority of applications being fake by 2028. The situation raises concerns about funding for virtual students who do not attend in-person classes.

The Telegraph: Rochdale grooming gang cannot be deported after tearing up Pakistan passports
Pakistan is resisting the repatriation of Qari Abdul Rauf and Adil Khan, key figures in the Rochdale child grooming scandal, after they renounced their citizenship. High-level discussions are ongoing, with some progress reported, but Pakistan cites difficulties in accepting these criminals.
The UK has successfully deported other Pakistani sex offenders recently, but Rauf and Khan remain due to legal challenges. The scandal has resurfaced following a critical audit revealing failures by police and council leaders to investigate cases for fear of being labeled racist.

Forbes: Northern Lights Forecast: U.S May See Aurora Tonight After Solar Flare
The Northern Lights may be visible near the U.S.-Canada border starting Thursday night, June 19, into Friday, June 20, due to a forecasted G1 geomagnetic storm. NOAA predicts the aurora could be seen in 14 U.S. states, particularly those close to Canada.
This event is linked to a coronal mass ejection from the sun on June 17, coinciding with the summer solstice. The best viewing time for the aurora will be just after midnight. States with potential visibility include Washington, Montana, North Dakota, and more.
