Breitbart: Donald Trump Vows to Slash Inflation, Deficit by Reviving Impoundment
Former President Donald Trump plans to use his presidential power known as impoundment to cut the deficit and inflation. Impoundment is a limited presidential power which allows the president to block congressionally-appropriated funds. Trump has pledged to challenge the Impoundment Control Act in court and get Congress to overturn it, aiming to squeeze savings from the federal bureaucracy for taxpayers. Democrats accused Trump previously of violating the Impoundment Control Act when he froze aid to Ukraine without notification. Impoundment is seen as "anti-inflation, anti-Swamp, anti-globalist" and pro-growth, pro-taxpayer and pro-American.
Newsbusters: Nets Spend 491 Minutes On Trump Indictment, 0 Seconds On Biden Burisma Bribery
Hunter Biden's plea deal was widely covered by ABC, CBS and NBC, but there are still outstanding questions about his business deals and potential bribery. House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer criticized the "two-tiered system of justice" and reminded everyone that investigations into the Bidens' alleged corruption, influence peddling and bribery are ongoing. The networks have devoted significantly more coverage to the Trump indictment than to the Burisma scandal involving Joe Biden and his son. The prediction is that they will continue to focus on the Trump case and downplay the Hunter charges and Biden family scandals.
Breitbart: Ex-DOJ Official Rossi: Hunter Biden Would Get 'Much More Aggressive' Tax Prosecution if He Was Hunter Smith
Former DOJ official Gene Rossi believes that a regular person who committed the same tax crimes as Hunter Biden would face "a very much more aggressive prosecution." Rossi stated that if it were Hunter Smith instead of Hunter Biden, then the person would have been hit with a "felony" tax charge.
Fox News: Boebert forcing vote on Biden impeachment hits a nerve with her own party: ‘Playground games’
House Republicans are frustrated with Rep. Lauren Boebert's privileged resolution to push for an immediate vote to impeach President Biden over the border crisis. The move bypassed the committee process, angering some Republicans who felt like they should have gone through committee. Although some House Republicans do not agree with Boebert's approach to moving the vote for the impeachment of Biden forward, Democrats only need a handful of Republicans to vote with them to table Boebert's motion.
The Epoch Times: The Personal Tragedies of the Lockdown Years
At the Porcfest in New Hampshire, the Brownstone Institute had an open microphone session where people shared their untold COVID stories. A woman shared the story of her mentor, who died alone and the family allowed only vaccinated people to attend the funeral. She was denied closure, as she had not been vaccinated. The government and media have created a dangerous lie where half the population is considered unclean based on their willingness to take an experimental drug. The vaccines could not stop the spread of COVID, and evidence shows that the people behind the vaccine mandates knew this. These mandates never served any real public-health purpose and displaced over a million people within professional life. Adding personal stories, like the woman's, can create awareness and help restore trust with vaccine companies and government agencies.
Breitbart: CNN's Clapper: 'I Don't Regret' Hunter Laptop Letter, I Haven't Seen Proof Russians Didn't Mess with Laptop
Former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper defended signing a letter claiming that the Hunter Biden laptop story was Russian misinformation. Clapper argued that the letter was appropriately worded and acknowledged that there was no hard evidence of Russian misinformation. He also said that he had not seen any official results of a forensic analysis of the laptop regarding Russian interference. Clapper stated that he did not regret signing the letter as he thought it was appropriate to warn of Russian interference and influence in the US election.
Fox News: Durham testifies that the FBI ignored Hillary Clinton plan to link Trump to Russia
Special Counsel John Durham testified before the House Judiciary Committee that the CIA received intel suggesting that Hillary Clinton authorized a plan to connect then-candidate Donald Trump to Russia. Durham stated that the FBI failed to scrutinize information and did not apply the same standards to allegations about Clinton and Trump, and relied on the Steele dossier. Durham's report stated that the FBI "failed to act on what should have been...a clear warning sign that the FBI might then be the target of an effort to manipulate or influence the law enforcement process for political purposes during the 2016 presidential election."
The New American: Convention of States Gets History Wrong in Ad for “Simulated Convention” - The New American
Author and contributor to The New American magazine Joe Wolverton debunks claims made by Convention of States (COS) that an Article V convention is necessary to save the United States. Wolverton refutes the idea that the Founding Fathers supported calling a second amendments convention. He criticizes the planned "simulated convention" by COS as a glorified commercial meant to trick people into supporting their agenda. Wolverton believes that if there were to actually be a convention, it would be almost impossible to control the outcome and would bear little resemblance to the document produced in the first convention of 1787.
Red State: Mike Pence Shows That He Just Doesn't Get It When It Comes to DOJ and FBI Corruption
Mike Pence doesn't understand the extent of the FBI's corruption and believes merely firing top officials will solve the problem. However, the FBI has exhibited corruption at all levels, from field agents to political appointees, and requires a complete overhaul. Ron DeSantis has proposed a plan to reorganize the DOJ and FBI, which Pence lacks. Pence's candidacy lacks uniqueness and proves uninteresting unless he demonstrates a stronger stance on critical issues.
Newsbusters: 'Eating Babies,' Nudity & Cussing - A Year of Passionate Pro-Aborts
Pro-lifers will celebrate the one-year anniversary of Roe v. Wade being overturned, which merely pushed abortion decisions back to states. Pro-aborts went nutso over it, lying about pro-lifers, using the Bible to defend abortion, and acting indecent and disruptive in public places.
The Epoch Times: Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs Vetoes Republican's Maricopa County Bill on Infrastructure Funding, Strategy
Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs vetoed a Republican-backed bill that aimed to extend a transit sales tax of half a cent in Maricopa County. The tax has previously funded major infrastructure projects, bus services, and the light rail system. The bill proposed two questions on the ballot: voters would be asked whether or not to increase funding for highway projects, and to shift funding from promoting activities such as "active transportation" and "air quality" to arterial road construction ( ).

The Epoch Times: Almost a Third of America’s Homeless Population Lives in California, Study Finds
California holds the highest number of homeless individuals in the United States, with over 171,000 people experiencing homelessness daily, according to a study by the University of California, San Francisco. The report debunked the myth that most homeless individuals in the state come from outside California, with nine out of ten respondents having lost their last housing in the state itself. Nearly 3,200 homeless people were surveyed for the study between October 2021 and November 2022, reporting high costs and homelessness as the main reasons for their vulnerability. The survey found that housing costs were a barrier to re-entering permanent housing for 89 percent of respondents.
California Governor Gavin Newsom has recently admitted that the state has not made progress on homelessness in the past two decades. The state spent over $10 billion between 2018 and 2021, providing services to over 571,000 people. Despite these efforts, the majority of homeless individuals remained without permanent housing. Homelessness has become profitable for various individuals and organisations, according to Alex Villanueva, former Los Angeles County Sheriff. An ageing population of homeless individuals has also emerged, with the median age of study participants being 47 years, and over a third meeting the federal criteria for chronic homelessness.
Townhall: Pride Police Insist Free Speech Is 'Unsafe'
GLAAD, the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation, is using Pride Month to enforce their LGBTQ Speech Code and shut down any opposing views. They recently released a "Safety Index" claiming that Twitter is the worst social media platform for LGBTQ+ safety, without including any opposing views. GLAAD's goal is to "accelerate acceptance" by squashing all contrary opinions. They are requesting government intervention in content moderation since private enforcers, like Twitter, are failing to censor people.
A news manager at WOOD-TV in Grand Rapids, Michigan, caused a scandal after writing a memo to staff about remembering there are two different views on Pride events in the community. The station's owner, Nexstar, quickly apologized for the memo and insisted that both-sides journalism is not consistent with their values or respect for viewers. Media corporations are at the forefront of "woke" corporations and are far from neutral moderators of any community's issues. The LGBTQ Speech Code has no diversity of opinions on LGBTQ issues, and it's "My Way" or the Bigot Highway.
The Epoch Times: Has Pride Month Jumped the Shark?
Despite initial celebrations, Pride Month is facing increasing dissent and backlash. Business such as Bud Light and Target suffered sales drops and stock price crashes due to controversial Pride-themed marketing. In schools, parents are protesting against Pride-themed programs and curriculum, with student attendance dropping and decorations being destroyed. Pride Month was originally meant to commemorate the 1969 Stonewall riots and celebrate LGBTQ life, but over time has become an aggressively pushed political and corporate event, even targeting children, which is leading to unwelcome sexualization and backlash from some quarters.
Breitbart: Titanic Sub Company OceanGate Fired Director Who Demanded Safety Testing
OceanGate, the company behind the missing submersible Titan, fired its marine operations director after he pushed for safety testing, including non-destructive testing to prove the submersible's integrity. The company also declined to have the submersible independently inspected, prompting questions of safety decisions. Critics argue that the company may have endangered lives by ignoring safety concerns and refusing to submit to an independent inspection.

Washington Free Beacon: Zelensky Says Progress in Counteroffensive ‘Slower Than Desired’
Ukrainian president Zelensky says counteroffensive progress against Russian forces is slower than desired as mines pose a challenge on heavily fortified Russian-held areas. Ukraine has claimed to recapture eight villages in the south, the biggest advances by its forces since November. Zelensky stressed that they will advance on the battlefield in the way they deem best.
Foreign Policy: How to Use Russia’s Frozen Assets to Rebuild Ukraine
Russia's invasion of Ukraine has caused immense destruction and loss of life. The cost of reconstruction is estimated at more than $400 billion, with millions of citizens displaced and critical infrastructure destroyed. Scholars at the New Lines Institute have proposed the Multilateral Asset Transfer, a legal mechanism for transferring frozen Russian assets to Ukraine for use in reconstruction efforts. The proposal sidesteps traditional avenues of securing reparations and could accelerate Ukraine's recovery while preserving Russian incentives to reengage with international law. It is hoped that the proposal will set a precedent for holding aggressor nations accountable and seeking compensation for damages inflicted.

Forbes: China Slams Biden For ‘Extremely Absurd’ Comments After Labeling Xi Jinping A Dictator
China has condemned Joe Biden's remarks referring to Chinese leader Xi Jinping as a dictator as "extremely absurd," accusing him of violating diplomatic etiquette and China's political dignity. During a fundraising event in California on Tuesday, Biden referred to Xi as a “dictator," and suggested Xi was “very upset” after the U.S. shot down a spy balloon earlier this year. The comments come during a visit by Secretary of State Antony Blinken to China to ease tensions between the two countries.
The Epoch Times: US and China 'Drifting Into War': Former Joint Chiefs Chairman
Former military leaders warn that the United States is drifting into a potential conflict with China over Taiwan and that such a war would devastate the global economies. China is building its military to confront the United States, and deterring CCP invasion will require bold actions against the regime. Ensuring Taiwan’s security is a “vital interest for the United States.” The Biden administration seeks peace with the CCP, but no breakthroughs were reached during Secretary of State Blinken's visit to Beijing. CCP officials threaten to start a war to prevent Taiwan’s de facto independence from being recognized internationally.

National Review: The Corner: We Can Build Things in America — We Just Don’t Want To
The collapse of a section of Interstate 95 near North Philadelphia raised concerns about logistical disruptions, but the repairs were completed in impressive time. The fast repairs highlighted the slow pace of construction in the US where federal permitting processes, land-use restrictions, zoning laws, and other regulations are valued more than the projects themselves. Recent experience suggests there are political gains to be had by public figures who reject managerial sclerosis, which has become so typical of big public and private works.
Forbes: Peloton Struggles To Convince That It’s Not On The Road To Nowhere
Peloton's stock price has fallen since the pandemic ended. Sales at its UK arm decline by 13% over its last financial year, as its biggest overseas market has reported widening losses. Peloton has introduced five membership tiers with a new workout app available on mobile and web devices. However, despite the brand's efforts, a major product recall of its PL01 bike model means that Peloton's shares have fallen by around 4%.

Red State: Elon Musk Steps in the Way of the Woke With His Stand on 'Cis'
Elon Musk is pushing for free speech on Twitter, allowing users to question the narrative without being suppressed. He is also standing against the "woke mind virus," which is pushing civilization towards suicide and calls for a reordering of language that upends everything, including the basic concepts of men and women. Musk stated that the words "cis" and "cisgender" are considered slurs on the platform and received overwhelming support for his stance, even from JK Rowling. This cultural battle revolves around language and accepting whatever narrative is pitched to you.
Breitbart: LGBTQ Mega-Producer Ryan Murphy Set to Leave Netflix for Disney
TV producer Ryan Murphy is set to leave Netflix for Disney-owned FX network, in a seismic shift for the industry. Murphy will move to Disney after his $300m, five-year contract with Netflix expires later this year. Disney hopes to capitalise on his success as a producer of prestige projects and LGBTQ-themed series such as Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story and Pose, offering him a new home at FX where he has produced many titles both before and after Disney acquired 20th Century Fox.
Disney's acquisition of one of the industry's most sought-after producers also signals the company's openness to LGBTQ activism, a key component of Murphy's output. However, Disney is involved in a dispute with Florida over a law banning radical transgender and LGBTQ indoctrination in schools. Netflix is meanwhile undergoing a period of cutbacks following a slump in customer numbers and stock values, and Murphy's tenure as an absence of successful shows beyond Monster.

The Epoch Times: How Dogs Are Revolutionizing Mental Health in an Ohio Jail
Ohio’s Montgomery County jail has reduced fighting among inmates, and detoxing has become less painful since implementing a therapy dog program. The program has lowered the jail’s use-of-force rates by almost 60%, according to local Sheriff Rob Streck, who said inmates are becoming willing to interact with officers and mental health staff when accompanied by the dogs. Research shows that dogs are calming to humans and lower cortisol, the stress hormone, which helps lower blood pressure and reduce loneliness. The dogs also remind inmates to think about their domestic lives and the temporary nature of their incarceration.
The Epoch Times: Rates of Eating Disorders and Teenage Girls Self-Harming Soared During Lockdown
Eating disorder diagnoses and self-harm increased significantly among teenage girls in the UK during the first two years of COVID-19 lockdowns, according to a Lancet study. The report analyzed nine million records from 2,000 GP practices and found that eating disorder diagnoses among teenage girls was 42% higher than would be expected, and diagnoses of self-harm were 38% higher. Social isolation, anxiety, school shutdowns, unhealthy social media influences, and increased clinical awareness were cited as contributing factors. Moreover, former chief medical officer Dame Sally Davies has stated that lockdowns have "damaged" a generation of children.
Fox News: Drugs killing more than homicides, suicides, natural disease combined after British Columbia decriminalization
A press release from the office of Public Safety and Solicitor General stated that 1,018 British Columbians were "lost" to drug overdoses between January and May this year, making unregulated drug toxicity the leading cause of death in the region for people aged 10 to 59, more than homicides, suicides, accidents and natural disease combined. It's worth noting that this news comes only six months after British Columbia decriminalized hard drugs like heroin, fentanyl and cocaine, yet the crisis shows no signs of abating.
Decriminalizing hard drugs like heroin, fentanyl and cocaine, has brought about a staggering death toll in British Columbia, with 1,018 residents lost to drug overdoses from January to May this year alone. Fentanyl was found in 78% of all deaths, while more than 70% of the overdose deaths occurred within private residences. Despite the province carrying out a pilot program where adults can carry up to 2.5 grams of various drugs without being arrested, charged, or having the drugs confiscated, the continuing drug crisis shows that the unregulated market for drugs remains the most dangerous risk to life in British Columbia.

Former CNN producer John Griffin has been sentenced to over 19 years in prison and $1.1 million in restitution after pleading guilty to luring a 9-year-old girl to a Vermont ski cabin for “unlawful sexual activity.” Griffin faces 15 years of supervised release after leaving prison, according to the sentence handed down at a U.S. District Court hearing. Two other charges against him were dropped as part of the plea deal. The defense sought a sentence of the minimum required under the deal, which was 10 years.

Daily Wire: Boss Of Titanic Sub Company Didn’t Want ‘50-Year-Old White Guys’ On His Team
The CEO of OceanGate Expeditions, whose submersible went missing during a dive to view the Titanic wreck, previously stated that he prefers to hire younger crew members rather than seasoned 50-year-old submariners. The company has faced criticism over its safety practices since the 22-foot vessel lost contact early on Sunday. Founder Stockton Rush said he values youth as the team is "doing things that are completely new" and wants to inspire the next generation. Critics say the company lacks experienced subject matter experts.

Amazon shut down all the devices in one man's home after a delivery person falsely accused him of using a racial slur. Amazon, who did not check with the customer and took the word of the anonymous stranger, kept the man out of his house for a week. Glenn Beck calls for consumers to question their reliance on Amazon, saying that Amazon doesn't care about the customer, only the company. This is a sign of a future where customers don't matter and corporations have all the power.
