National Review: Nicola Sturgeon’s Fall from Grace
Nicola Sturgeon, former first minister of Scotland and leader of the Scottish National Party (SNP), has been arrested as part of Police Scotland's investigation into the SNP's finances.

This finance probe will continue to taint Sturgeon's legacy.

Forbes: OceanGate Employee Warned Of Major Safety Issues With Titan Sub In 2018—He Was Soon Fired
OceanGate Expeditions, the company responsible for the missing submersible that was full of tourists viewing the wreckage of the Titanic, was warned about safety issues by a former employee. The employee alleged that the submersible had major safety issues, including that there had been almost no unmanned testing of the craft, the alarm system would only sound off "milliseconds" before an implosion, and the porthole was only certified to withstand a smaller pressure than it was planned to reach. Despite raising these issues, the former employee was met with "hostility and denial" from the company and was fired.
The Epoch Times: New Brunswick's Fight Over Parental Rights, Gender Identity in Schools Recalls Alberta's Experience
New Brunswick Premier Blaine Higgs is changing the province's policy on gender identity to require parents to be informed if their children are transitioning genders at school. The changes come amid intense debate and backlash, with some members of Higgs's cabinet resigning and talk of a leadership review or snap election. Those in support of informing parents argue that they have a right to know and can ensure their child's well-being, while opponents argue that informing parents could be harmful if they don't affirm the child's gender identity or sexual orientation. The dispute has been seen before in Alberta, where a similar policy prohibiting teachers from informing parents was repealed.

Spectator USA: Biden called Xi a ‘dictator.’ He’s right
President Biden called Chinese President Xi Jinping “a dictator” during a Democratic fundraiser in California, and explained why he ordered to shoot down a Chinese spy balloon that entered US airspace in February. Biden said that Xi had been “embarrassed” because the balloon had been blown off course and “he didn’t know it was there”. China is a ruthless dictatorship with a Communist Party that holds a monopoly of power over its citizens and exercises it in ways that are repugnant to anyone living in Western liberal democracies and enjoying freedom of thought and expression. The CCP decides on such basic freedoms as the number of children they are permitted to have, where they can live and what they can watch on TV or the internet. Anyone who dares to question CCP rule risks a long spell in prison, particularly the Uighur Muslim community that faces persecution at levels condemned by international bodies as genocide.
The Federalist: Blinken's Beijing Trip Accomplished Nothing But U.S. Humiliation
United States Secretary of State Antony Blinken's Beijing trip ended with little breakthrough, as the Chinese took the opportunity to humiliate Blinken and the US. Beijing conducted aggressive maneuvers near a US Navy surveillance plane and a destroyer over the South China Sea, despite Blinken's postponed visit from early February after the Chinese spy balloon incident. The CCP and Xi Jinping put the blame on the US to reverse the downward spiral in Sino-US relations, leaving the US officials being humiliated and scolded by the CCP officials in public. The Biden administration claims to maintain confidence in the US role as the leader of the free world with the CCP, but where does the truth lie?
The Biden administration's engagement with Beijing aims to generate meaningful results, but historical evidence shows that the CCP usually demands concessions before even agreeing to engage. The CCP uses engagement to achieve its objective and manipulate the other side. The CCP has used statements from the US to claim that the US is moving towards Chinese positions rather than negotiating a middle ground, leaving the West's engagement without any changes to CCP behavior or democracy. The Biden administration seems to be reviving a zombie engagement policy that has failed before, which leaves everyone wondering if the CCP will execute its plan for world order.
PJ Media: Biden Calls President Xi a 'Dictator' a Day After Trying to 'Stabilize' Relations
Joe Biden referred to Xi Jinping as a "dictator" at a campaign event in California, just days after his Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, failed to reestablish communications with China. Biden also took too much credit for having shot down a Chinese spy balloon. The remarks were considered "an open political provocation" by China, which added they were "a serious violation of basic facts, diplomatic etiquette, and China's political dignity." The timing could imperil the diplomatic initiative established by Blinken's visit and Biden's aides will likely be seeking to walk back the comments.

Breitbart: Africa Worries Western Focus on Ukraine Aid Means Less To Go Around
African countries express concern over Western aid to Ukraine as pledges to support their development and fight climate change decrease. OECD statistics show that aid for Ukraine in 2022 totaled $16 billion, while aid for Africa fell by eight percent to $29 billion. African countries are worried that Ukraine is receiving unprecedented amounts of aid while Africa is being "abandoned." However, many supporters of Ukraine claim that the aid is essential to protect the country from collapse. The scale of the aid, which includes military assistance, is raising eyebrows, and African countries are calling for resources and mechanisms to channel money to Africa.
Developing countries are awaiting implementation of a 2021 pledge by the G20 to recycle $100 billion in IMF special drawing rights (SDRs) from rich countries to vulnerable economies. There is also a question about funding for "loss and damage" caused by climate change. The African Union is urging African countries to become more self-sufficient and less reliant on Western support. A Zambian government official says that the West has focused too much on supporting European countries and that it is time for the African Union to organize the African countries. There is a "crisis of confidence" between donors and developing countries, and supporters of Africa are calling on rich countries to uphold their pledge to help countries in the firing line of climate change.
Forbes: Housing Shortage Fuels Price Bidding Wars As Homes For Sale Hit Record Low
Redfin has reported that listings for homes were at their lowest level on record in May, with the US having just 1.4mn homes on its market; the lowest offering since it began recording data in 2012. Worth noting is the fall in new listings by 25%, the third-lowest recorded level. Bidding wars have now become commonplace as hopeful homebuyers vie for a listing, with 37% of sold homes in May being sold for asking price or above, as the market continues to tighten .
Offering a contrast to the lack of supply of homes on the market, the US saw a surge in home construction last month with 1.631mn single-family units built, marking a 21.7% increase from April according to data published by the US Census Bureau. Granting permits for building housing units also saw a rise by 5.2% in May, part of what industry experts believe has motivated builders to improve their output, in a bid to increase inventory levels in the market, as recorded by the National Association of Home Builders' release on Monday.
The Epoch Times: ANALYSIS: US Economy Flirting With Stagflation as Prices Remain High While Economy Slows Down
Experts warn of the potential for stagflation in the US as the economy struggles with low growth, high inflation, and high unemployment rates. GDP growth has been negative or slowing since 2022, while inflation is still above the Federal Reserve target and unemployment remains high. The combination of factors has led to concerns of stagflation similar to the 1970s, caused by high inflation, rising government spending, and surging commodity prices. However, the current situation is being driven by the Fed's all-out efforts against inflation, high government spending triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic, and elevated commodity prices.
Multiple economic experts have raised alarm bells warning of a potential 'mini' stagflation scenario in the United States. Former Treasury Secretary Lawrence Summers considers stagflation a "real risk" given current inflation levels and downward pressure on the economy. Goldman Sachs' COO John Waldron warns that a stagflationary period of sluggish growth accompanied by high inflation and rates, which can persist for a while, is a scenario to worry about and plan for. Low economic growth, high unemployment, and consistently rising costs of living in stagflation are concerns that present high political and financial risks.
The Epoch Times: Peru Restaurant Voted Best in the World
Peruvian restaurant Central has been named the world's best restaurant in the World's 50 Best Restaurants rankings, marking the first time a South American restaurant has earned the title. The menu takes diners through 15 different Peruvian ecosystems, with set menus costing up to $287 per person. Only two American restaurants made it to the top 50, with New York’s Atomix and Le Bernardin ranking eighth and 44th, respectively. Incoming inflation is reportedly deterring some US customers from dining out, however, the National Restaurant Association remains "cautiously optimistic" that restaurant dining foot traffic could rise this summer.

Breitbart: Bible Returns to Utah School District Shelves After Public Outcry
A board in Utah has decided to restore the King James Bible to its libraries after it was banned from middle and elementary schools due to a single complaint about violence and profanity. The decision came after a committee assessed that the Bible had “significant, serious value” for minors that outweighs its violent or vulgar content. The board also observed that lawmakers were wrong to blame the majority parent committee, which had convened and followed procedures correctly.
The American Spectator: Catholic LGBTQ Voices ‘Prophetic,’ According to Santa Fe Archbishop
The Outreach 2023 conference hosted by America Magazine, a Jesuit publication, brought together LGBTQ Catholics to build community and worship together. Editor-at-large and Jesuit priest James Martin spoke of Outreach’s role in collaborating with other LGBTQ organizations, such as Dignity USA and New Ways Ministries. While the Catholic Church opposes homosexual acts, Dignity USA asserts that “gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, queer, and intersex persons can express their sexuality and gender identities and expressions in a manner that is consonant with Christ’s teaching.”

Spectator USA: Literary festivals are no fun
Literary festivals are happening all over the UK, from crime fiction to LGBTQ writers. The Hay and Cheltenham festivals are the biggies, a social must for writers. These festivals promise thought-provoking conversations, but often just offer bland questions from shameless, sycophantic interviewers. In a truly literary festival, writing and reading aren't supposed to be fun, and writers themselves are often miserable egotists, which is why they write.

The Epoch Times: Federal Agency to Track Gender Identity, Sexual Orientation of Research Doctorate Recipients
The U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) plans to track the sexual orientation and gender identity of research doctorate recipients, raising concerns about privacy invasion and LGBT quotas.

However, the efforts have been criticised, with theoretical physicist Lawrence Krauss raising concerns about how the data would be used by the NSF and whether the survey’s results would lead to underrepresented groups being required to meet quotas.

Flag And Cross: Titanic Sub Search Intensifies After Rescuers Hear Haunting Underwater Sounds
Efforts to locate the missing submersible Titan are continuing, with noises heard from beneath the Atlantic Ocean being investigated. The sub, which has five passengers and went missing on Sunday, has an oxygen supply which is set to run out imminently. Remotely operated vehicles have been deployed and three vessels with sonar capabilities have arrived on the scene. The search is being conducted in an area larger than Connecticut and has been complicated by inclement weather.
Noises similar to banging were detected every 30 minutes, and have been identified as a target by search teams. Despite the gloomy prognosis for the submersible, the head of the search said that the operation will continue “as long as there’s an opportunity for survival”. Conditions in the search area remain challenging with stormy weather a factor, but efforts are being made to find the missing vessel before time runs out on its oxygen supply. Teams from Canada, the US and France are all working together to locate the Titan.

The Federalist Papers: Titanic Sub Search Intensifies After Rescuers Hear Haunting Underwater Sounds
The missing submersible Titan, with five passengers aboard, has not been heard from since Sunday, and the oxygen supply is estimated to run out Thursday. Noises were heard from beneath the Atlantic Ocean where the submersible is being searched, but no sign of the OceanGate vessel has been found so far. Canadian P-3 aircraft detected underwater "banging" noises, and the P8 Poseidon also recorded similar sounds, with the search still ongoing by three vessels, even though conditions in the area are not ideal.
