Breitbart: 170K Migrants Apprehended in May at Southern Border Doubles Biden's Inaugural Month
Border Patrol agents apprehended over 169,000 migrants who crossed the southwest border with Mexico in May, more than double the numbers from January. Additionally, an estimated 51,000 migrants were classified as "known got-aways," bringing the total to over 220,000. While the Biden administration has credited new policies for the decrease in apprehensions from April, it is a 125% increase from January. CBP officials continue to assert that the immigration system is "safe, orderly, and humane," but Border Patrol sector chiefs refute this claim and blame the CDC's Title 42 program for high numbers in May. Migrants from Mexico and Central American countries accounted for most of the migrants, but an unprecedented 12,480 Chinese nationals were also apprehended.
Fox News: Senators urge Biden admin to slap sanctions, visa bans on Mexican officials to force action against cartels
Republican senators are urging the Biden administration to impose sanctions and visa bans against Mexican officials who do not act against the cartels, who are infiltrating the US with fentanyl and other drugs, posing a risk to the safety and security of the American people. Among the senators are James Risch, Marco Rubio, and Ted Cruz, and they are requesting that the US becomes more assertive in its actions with the Mexican government. They suggest imposing sanctions and visa bans on Mexican officials who support or enable the cartels. The Biden administration has worked to fortify the US relationship with Mexico and has been critical of Mexico's lack of cooperation on the matter, however, the senators believe that stronger measures such as sanctions should be used.

Fox News: Biden mocks Second Amendment supporters, says you 'need an F-16’ to take on government
President Biden reiterated his views on gun violence and the Second Amendment at a fundraising event in California, saying Americans do not need AR-15s, and that certain weapons just can't be owned. He stated that Second Amendment supporters would need an F-16 to challenge the U.S. government and pointed out the popularity of AR-15s among gun makers, citing their cheap production and high-profit margins. Biden has repeatedly urged Congress to pass gun control measures since taking office, including signing into law the most significant gun control bill in nearly 30 years.
The Federalist: Justice Alito Launches Preemptive Strike On Leftist Hit Piece
Justice Samuel Alito responded to media outlet ProPublica's accusations that he violated federal law by accepting the gift of a "luxury fishing vacation" from Republican billionaire Paul Singer and then presiding over cases involving Singer's financial interests. Alito insists he was unaware that Singer had any connection to the cases and, even if he had known, recusal would not have been required or appropriate. The attack on Alito is part of a larger campaign by Democrats and their allies to undermine and delegitimize the Supreme Court, which currently has a majority of Republican-appointed justices.

Durham was before the House Judiciary Committee to discuss his report criticizing the FBI for how it conducted its investigation into the 2016 US Presidential Election. Cohen pressed Durham on his opinion of Trump and Barr, but Durham refused to opine on Trump’s character.

Fox News: Adam Schiff vows to wear House GOP censure like 'badge of honor'
Rep. Adam Schiff vows to wear a censure vote from House Republicans as a "badge of honor" in response to House Speaker Kevin McCarthy beginning the process of censuring him. Schiff expressed pride, claiming it validates the actions he took and that they go after effective people.

The Epoch Times: Durham: FBI Should Not Have Launched Full Investigation Into Trump Campaign
The FBI's full investigation into then-candidate Donald Trump's campaign based on unverified intelligence was not a legitimate basis, according to special counsel John Durham. The FBI opted to open a full investigation following information received from Australian officials that Trump campaign adviser George Papadopoulos had suggested that Trump's team had received help from Russia to release information damaging to Democrats. Durham stated that the FBI did not check its own databases before launching the full investigation. The bureau also did not interview Australian diplomats, and FBI officials opened the investigation quickly without considering an assessment or preliminary investigation.
Fox News: 'Graphic materials' warning appears on DeSantis super PAC mailings to primary voters in Iowa, SC
A new mailer from Never Back Down, a super PAC backing Ron DeSantis, says the Governor helped remove the explicit and pornographic book "Gender Queer: A Memoir" from Florida schools.

Democrats have accused him of banning books, which he denies. Republicans have criticized a "book ban" coordinator appointed by the White House. The coordinator was intended to address the threat posed by book bans in school libraries, which the White House says "erodes our democracy."

Fox News: Durham torpedoes Dem lawmaker slamming his reputation: ‘Comfortable' with my reputation before 'my Lord'

President Zelenskyy admits that the Ukrainian 'counteroffensive' against Russia is progressing slower than reported, highlighting the reality of war.

Advocates for diplomacy argue that a failed attempt last year could have been a more sensible path than warfare, and it's crucial to facilitate a dialogue to pave the way for peace. The human toll of the conflict is dire, and a diplomatic solution respecting the sovereignty of all involved nations is the need of the hour.

Foreign Policy: Chinese Firms Are Evading Chip Controls
China may be accessing restricted computer chips despite export controls targeting their acquisition. Blacklisted entities are reportedly obtaining chips through smuggling and cloud rentals, while small Chinese businesses are using smuggling routes through neighbouring countries. To reduce access to national security-sensitive supercomputing, the US Bureau of Industry and Security needs to patch current controls on physical exports and address the process of shell company creation. It is also proposed that a random chip sampling programme be established, seller registration be required, notifications be sent for secondhand sales or lost/damaged chips, and that end-use checks confirming current registered ownership be conducted. Furthermore, cloud providers should implement “Know Your Customer” checks for customers using large quantities of export-controlled chips.

The Epoch Times: ‘Sustainable Jobs’ Transition Sparks Fear of Oil and Gas Industry Phase-Out
The Canadian government's proposed Sustainable Jobs Act is causing concerns that the oil and gas industry will be phased out in favor of green energy. The legislation aims to create a transition towards sustainable jobs with a definition of "sustainable" that remains open to evolution. Critics fear that the "just transition" for workers and their communities will damage Canada's energy revenue, transportation and manufacturing industries with the expansion of public spending. On the other hand, supporters and the government will maintain workers and communities at the forefront of the decision-making process. The sustainability of the traditional energy industry is disputed as unconventional energy becomes more popular in the fight towards net-zero emission and a climate-resilient future.

Sen. Rand Paul praises Trump's Operation Warp Speed for saving lives with the vaccine but criticizes the government's push to vaccinate children, especially those with prior infections as not backed up by science. According to Paul, government mandates are the real issue rather than the vaccine itself. He believes that those at high risk should receive the vaccine, particularly those over a certain age and weight. However, the vaccine is unnecessary for children and mandates are not appropriate in a free country.

Lawyer for rapper Kodak Black speaks out against the disparity in sentencing between his client, who was sentenced to nearly four years in prison for providing false information on a federal form to acquire firearms, and Hunter Biden, who received pre-trial diversion and the opportunity to expunge his charge after 24 months for the same crime.

Lil Wayne similarly was charged under the same subsection as Biden but never spent time in prison for the crime because he was pardoned by former President Donald Trump.

Forbes: Madonna Might Want To Copy One Aspect Of Taylor Swift’s The Eras Tour
Madonna's upcoming tour is said to celebrate her historic back catalog. However, with an extensive discography, it is impossible to include every hit in one tour, leaving some fans to be disappointed if they don't hear their favorite songs. To address this challenge, Madonna could adopt a similar strategy to Taylor Swift's approach to her ongoing The Eras Tour, performing one or two extra tunes per night not usually included in the setlist to give many of her lesser-known hits a chance to shine and appease fans who have been eagerly waiting to hear their favorites. This would keep the concert experience fresh and exhilarating for her super fans while also providing promotional opportunities.
By letting fans know that the setlist will change slightly, Madonna would encourage them to return to the show, increasing ticket sales and elevating the excitement surrounding the tour. Incorporating this strategy would make the tour more enjoyable for the musicians and Madonna herself, ensuring her die-hard supporters remain happy. With social media's influence, the impact of performing a song just once can be significant, generating media attention that spills over into headlines in the music press. This publicity would not only boost ticket sales but also increase streams and sales of Madonna's songs.
