Dr. Peter Hotez declined Joe Rogan's $100,000 offer to debate RFK Jr. on vaccines, and instead appeared on MSNBC with little pushback.

Daily Wire: Biden Sets New Goal For U.S. To Meet By ‘2020,’ Forcing White House To Edit Transcript
President Biden mistakenly said during a speech that the US aims to conserve 30% of all land and water it has jurisdiction over by 2020, prompting the White House to correct the transcript to say 2030. Biden also incorrectly said the infrastructure bill designated $3.5 million (not billion) to flood mitigation, and referred to “integration” instead of “irrigation”. Biden announced new environment-related spending efforts, including $600 million for the "Climate Resilience Regional Challenge" and $2 billion for the Department of Energy to use for the electrical grid. Biden also criticized House Republicans during the speech.

Forbes: World’s Largest Syrian Refugee Camp Gets Music Program, Recording Studio
Playing for Change Foundation, Questscope, and Dream Day Foundation are partnering to bring culturally based music education and a state-of-the-art recording studio to the Zaatari Refugee Camp in Jordan. The program aims to provide music classes that include Western and Eastern instruments, as well as a recording studio and performance space that is under construction. The goal is to bring major recording artists to guest teach, perform and record music with the refugees, with a focus on how music can heal trauma and unite communities. This program is an expansion of Questscope's creative arts offerings in the camp, which had a music therapy program that ran out of funding but will now be funded for the at least the next two years by the new partnership.
Breitbart: Laurence Fox Defends Burning 'Child Mutilation' LGBTQ+ Pride Flag
Laurence Fox, leader of the Reclaim Party, has defended burning several "Progress Pride" flags, saying they represent "child mutilation" and go against "biological reality" and "objective truth." Despite social media outrage, Fox refused to back down and insisted that he would always stand for biological reality. He described the flag as a "migraine flag", saying that it was divisive and antithetical to what a national flag represents. Fox received criticism from LGBTQ+ advocates for his statement and his actions.
In a separate video, Fox said that the "Progress Pride" flag has nothing to do with the original rainbow pride flag. He argued that the Union Jack already unites everyone in the UK, representing secular liberal democracy. This comes as footage emerged of Westminster council workers dropping Union flags on the ground as they replace them with rows of "Intersex-Inclusive Progress Pride Flags". Piers Morgan criticized this move on Talk TV, asking if pride month is more important than patriotism. Fox has previously run afoul of transgenderism proponents for his anti-LGBTQ+ views.

Breitbart: Yoram Hazony: Christians Must Use Old Testament to Defeat ‘Woke Neo-Marxism’
Yoram Hazony, president of Israel's Herzl Institute, spoke at the Western Conservative Summit in Denver, urging Christians to rediscover and use the Old Testament as a weapon. Hazony argued that liberalism could not stand up to "woke neo-Marxism" and traced the 2020 revolution's origins to the Supreme Court's 1947 decision that separated church and state. He said it was essential for Christians to read the Old Testament, with its political model of a society in covenant with God, in order to defeat radical leftism.

The New American: U.S. Facing Dire Drug Shortage - The New American
A national shortage of drugs used to treat infections, cancer, and other conditions is a public health crisis, with 15 indispensable chemotherapy drugs in short supply. Penicillin and amoxicillin are also running short, with Pfizer expected to run out of penicillin solutions by Q3 2023. The shortages are caused by supply chain and quality control problems, as well as the scarcity of suppliers, particularly for generic drugs. China's control over both prescription drugs and their ingredients has been a major factor in the shortage. The FDA recently authorized an unapproved chemotherapy drug to be temporarily imported from China, but there are concerns about contamination from Chinese manufacturers.

Breitbart: British Billionaire Adventurer Missing on Titanic Submarine
The deep-sea submarine Titan, carrying three passengers and a crew of two, is missing while touring the RMS Titanic. Rescue teams continue their search with hope, as the Titan has an estimated four days of oxygen.
The missing passengers are named as British billionaire Hamish Harding, Pakistani businessman Shahzada Dawood, and his son Suleman Dawood. While there is hope for the onboard crew, the craft has been out of contact with the surface for a considerable amount of time. Teams from the U.S. Coastguard, Canada, and the submarine Titan’s mothership continue their search to locate the missing craft before Thursday, when the oxygen onboard will have depleted.

PJ Media: U.S. Congressman Calls for Deployment of Nuclear Sub to Search For Missing 'Titanic' Tourist Submersible
Private submersible Titan, carrying five people including the CEO of OceanGate Expeditions, went missing during an expedition to the Titanic's debris field. The submersible communicated with the transport vessel via text messages, but lost contact shortly after the mission started. Rescue operations are ongoing, with the submersible having enough oxygen to sustain the crew until Thursday at the latest. The US has supplied a C-130 with underwater detection radar and Navy Poseidon aircraft for the search, but there is controversy over the government's refusal to use a UK submersible that could potentially winch Titan up to the surface.

Forbes: CubCrafters’ Electric-Fans Could Make Planes Land & Takeoff On a Dime
CubCrafters is flight testing a new aerodynamic system called Electric Lift Augmenting Slats (ELAS) that uses multiple electric ducted fans integrated into the leading-edge slats of an aircraft to increase lift and allow planes to takeoff and land in shorter distances. The system can potentially be applied to larger aircraft with specific passenger or cargo missions, giving them short-field performance comparable to bush aircraft but with larger payloads. CubCrafters is looking for commercial partners to enter joint ventures with and believes the technology's applicability expands way beyond their current production line.

Fox News: Disney's 'Elemental,' which features 'non-binary' character, flops in opening weekend
Pixar's "Elemental," featuring their first non-binary character, opened to the lowest box office earnings ever for Pixar, despite Disney's support. The character of "Lake" drew attention to the movie, but controversy has surrounded Disney's decision-making, including the loss of subscribers and previous layoffs. The Hollywood Reporter attributed the film's lackluster performance to competition with "The Flash," as well as the scandal surrounding Ezra Miller, the superhero movie's leading actor.
National Review: Biden Rules Allowing Male Participation in Women’s Sports Violate Anti-Discrimination Law, Report Finds
The proposed rules from the Biden administration on transgender participation in collegiate sports undermine the spirit of Title IX, according to the Independent Women's Forum. The report argues that the proposed rules allowing biological males to join women's teams violates Title IX's equal opportunity mandate and places the burden on schools to prove that male participation would be unsafe. The report warns of a potential reversal of the tremendous progress made in promoting female athletics since the passage of Title IX in 1972 .
The report reveals that the rules threaten to roll back the progress made in promoting female athletics by allowing biological males to compete in women's sports, while female athletes lose the opportunity to play. There is a risk of reversing the explosion in female athletic participation that followed the passage of Title IX in 1972. The NCAA and various individual sports' governing bodies have not taken a common-sense approach to the transgender participation issue. Most sport-specific governing bodies either have no official position or requirements for trans-identifying athletes, require declaration of gender identity, or mandate that males' testosterone levels are lowered to join the women's category, which might still result in an unfair advantage over biological women.
Flag And Cross: Atmospheric Traffic Jam Brings Unusual Weather To Northeastern US
Weather patterns in the northeast US have ground to a halt, resulting in a variety of unusual meteorological phenomena. Smoke from Canadian wildfires has led to hazy conditions, while building heat has led to temperatures of up to 90 degrees Fahrenheit, 5-15 degrees higher than temperatures in traditional warm spots. However, high pressure and dry conditions in the Midwest will also spread to parts of Canada, bringing cooler temperatures and more humid conditions. Air stagnation may also lead to poor air quality and respiratory issues.
