The Epoch Times: Border Authorities Recorded 200,000 Encounters at Southern Border in May as Title 42 Expired
Over 200,000 illegal immigrants were encountered by United States border officials in May, after the pandemic-era Title 42 policies expired.

While the Biden administration has claimed early success in handling traffic, Republicans remain doubtful, with some stating that about 1.5 million people who illegally crossed the border evaded Border Patrol agents.

The Epoch Times: White House Declines to Appeal Supreme Court on Transgender Surgery Mandate
The White House missed the deadline to appeal the mandate that health care organizations and hospitals perform and cover transgender medical procedures, after multiple courts blocked the administration's efforts. The Becket Fund for Religious Liberty legal group claimed victory, as religious doctors and hospitals provide vital care to patients in need, including millions of dollars in free and low-cost care to the elderly, poor, and underserved . The mandate was derived from a 2016 interpretation of Obamacare, however, the Trump administration attempted to repeal the rule in 2020 and a growing number of European countries have started to highlight the serious physical and mental harm that can be caused by such procedures. Republican-led states and lawmakers have barred transgender procedures for children and Democrat-led states like Massachusetts have floated the idea of enacting child abuse laws for withholding transgender drugs and treatment for children .

PJ Media: The Young Turks vs. RFK Jr.: MSNBC of the Internet Goes on Offense
Progressive media outlet The Young Turks (TYT) has launched a smear campaign against Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a candidate for New York governor. TYT insinuated a connection between Kennedy and the "gay frogs" conspiracy theory, which TYT uses to delegitimize the anti-vaccination movement. TYT’s brand of millennial social justice politics places it where the universes of the legacy corporate state media and the online Democrat Party base collide. TYT's rhetoric is a barometer for Democrat Party politics. Furthermore, it is important to note that pesticides like atrazine can be found in tap water across the United States, including in Texas, as shown in a report by environmental group Environmental Working Group.

Townhall: Conclusion of Media About Hunter Indictments: It Is All So Tough on 'The Big Guy'
The press has reacted sympathetically to the charges against Hunter Biden and the impact they have had on President Biden, while ignoring the criminal acts committed. This is a departure from how they treated the Trump family. Hunter Biden has agreed to plead guilty to tax-related misdemeanors and a pretrial diversion agreement in exchange for avoiding prosecution on a felony gun charge.
Daily Wire: RFK Jr. Says China And U.S. Developing Ethnic Bio-Weapons — Pentagon Says No
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has claimed that both China and the US are developing "ethnic bio-weapons" that can target certain races; the Pentagon has denied this. Kennedy, who is known for previous conspiracy theories, has opposed state laws requiring vaccinations and pushing Americans to get vaccinated against COVID. The claim may have been based on comments made by US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and China's Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Wang Wenbin in recent weeks. The Pentagon has denied the assertion that the US is developing bioweapons.
The Federalist Papers: Dem Group's Attempt to Tie Elon Musk to Missing Titanic Sub Blows Up in Its Face
Leftist group Occupy Democrats tries to taint Elon Musk with the missing submersible vessel that aimed to visit the Titanic site, and even tried to raise money using lives of 5 adventurers in the Atlantic. They implied that Musk's company caused the communication breakdown, but was contradicted by the fact that the submersible wasn't using Starlink for underwater communications. They also threw in a huckster’s spiel to invest in Tribel equity crowdfunding raising $1.4 million and insinuated that Musk was afraid of Tribel, playing dirty politics using the lives of 5 human beings.
The Federalist: Exclusive: Report Claims Ann Arbor, MI, Violated Election Laws
Ann Arbor election officials reportedly violated state law during the 2022 midterm elections, accepting tardy ballots and registering voters past the deadline. The report from Michigan Fair Elections and Pure Integrity Michigan Elections alleges numerous violations of state election law, including discriminatory practices and unlawful re-registration of voters, with confusion among voters believed to have come from Michigan’s Democrat Secretary of State's "erroneous guidance."
PJ Media: VIDEO: Explosive Moment as Rep. Matt Gaetz Accuses Special Counsel John Durham of 'Covering Up' FBI Crimes
During House Judiciary hearings, Rep. Matt Gaetz accused Special Counsel John Durham of being part of a “cover-up” of the FBI “op” on former President Trump. Gaetz asked Durham why he never questioned or subpoenaed Joseph Mifsud, the man who started the Trump-Russia narrative and was reportedly an intelligence asset. Durham explained that he could only find Mifsud’s attorney during an overseas trip to Italy, but Gaetz was incredulous that he couldn’t find him. Mifsud and the FBI agent posing as his research assistant have not been heard from since 2016. Gaetz also accused Durham’s report of being less of an indictment and more of an inoculation for the FBI.
Fox News: MSNBC's Claire McCaskill flips out over Republicans investigating Bidens: 'Back off!'
Claire McCaskill defends President Joe Biden's son, Hunter, from GOP criticism over his addiction struggles and plea deal on federal charges. McCaskill blasts Republicans for their insensitivity to addiction and accuses them of using Hunter's struggles against Joe Biden. She defends the President as a model of "unconditional love" and demands that critics "back off" from the Bidens.
American Thinker: I don’t buy Durham’s excusing FBI agents as good people
Former special counsel John Durham revealed that FBI agents have apologized to him for their handling of the Trump-Russia probe and he confirmed he saw bias among key officials in charge of the investigation. Durham went on to say that he saw that a majority of the FBI are 'good, hard-working people' who 'swear under their oaths to abide by the law.' However, it is becoming clear that from the top down, the DOJ and the FBI are corrupt and men and women who work for or retire during the corrupt era are either complicit in the corruption or too afraid to do or say anything. The DOJ and FBI are at the heart of the federal criminal justice system, they sit on more secrets than we can imagine and they used their massive, unfettered authority to try to take down the president of the United States.

The Economist: NATO wrestles with whether to let Ukraine join
NATO is grappling with the decision of whether or not to let Ukraine join the alliance, with America being the most reluctant ally. Biden has stated that Ukraine still has to prove itself before NATO membership is considered, causing America to become increasingly isolated within the transatlantic alliance. As the alliance's summit approaches, members are discussing how to preserve unity by reaching a linguistic compromise signalling that Ukraine is moving closer to NATO membership, without promises of quick accession. However, this falls short of collective defence, and instead aims to enable Ukraine to defend itself.

Forbes: Google Accuses Microsoft Of Tricking Customers Into Cloud Service Contracts
Google has complained to the Federal Trade Commission that Microsoft is coercing customers into contracts with its Azure cloud server business by using licensing terms in its Office 356 productivity software. European regulators were recently urged to take a closer look at Microsoft's "anti-competitive posture" by Google, who accused Microsoft's practices of making it expensive and difficult for cloud users to move to a competitor. Microsoft's three European rivals OVHcloud, Aruba SpA and Danish Cloud Company also filed a complaint with the European Union's competition watchdog about its practices. The cloud computing business is drawing greater regulatory scrutiny due to the dominance of a few players and its increasingly important role as more businesses move their services to the cloud.
The Epoch Times: Putin’s Nuclear Threat Against the US Is Terrorism
Russian President Vladimir Putin has threatened NATO with nuclear weapons, stating that Russia has moved nuclear weapons closer to NATO countries. Putin also noted that the U.S. nuclear umbrella covers all NATO nations, so a nuclear threat against NATO is a nuclear threat against the United States. The U.S. and allies have shown remarkable restraint in moving nuclear weapons out of Europe after the Cold War, and attempting to decrease Western nuclear arsenals, while Moscow and Beijing have moved in the opposite direction. Putin's aggressive nuclear rhetoric and invasion of neighboring countries make it more difficult for the West to deny NATO membership to Ukraine and Georgia as they will add more incentives for them and many other countries to join NATO and strengthen the organization.

The New American: Less Freedom - The New American
The United States' economic freedom has been in decline, according to The Heritage Foundation's rankings, due to excessive government spending. Politicians promising free services take away our money and freedom, and regulations restrict individual freedom. The freest countries for economic freedom are Taiwan, Ireland, Switzerland, and Singapore, but other freedoms, such as religious and First Amendment freedom, are important and may not be measured. The Cato Institute's Human Freedom Index ranks Switzerland, New Zealand, Estonia, and Denmark as the freest countries. The policies promised by politicians will not make things better.
Foreign Policy: An Era of Debt Crisis Catastrophe Is Dawning
Zambia's economic potential has been crushed by the millstone of debt. Reckless borrowing and the economic fallout from the pandemic have caused the country to default on its debt, resulting in soaring costs of essentials, businesses laying off workers, and public-sector salary payments being delayed. A new report shows that delays in restructuring such debt have devastating impacts, such as infant deaths resulting from a default, and highlights a need for a new global financing pact to tackle the debt crisis.

The New American: This Week at the Constitutional Convention: Confederation or Nation? - The New American
Delegates at the Constitutional Convention of 1787 were authorized to revise the Articles of Confederation and report to Congress; they were not authorized to propose a new government by an alternative constitution. Oliver Ellsworth, Nathaniel Gorham, William Paterson, John Lansing, and Luther Martin all spoke out against the word "national" and the idea of a national government that would destroy the confederacy of sovereign states. Ellsworth's motion to remove the word "national" and to consider any proposals passed by the delegates as amendments to the Articles of Confederation was passed unanimously, and the majority of delegates opposed the idea of a national government.

Fox News: Aaron Rodgers wants to see RFK debate Peter Hotez, says presidential candidate 'would mop this bum'
Aaron Rodgers and Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. criticized Dr. Peter Hotez for his COVID-19 vaccine advocacy. Rodgers posted a reel from Dr. Tyna Moore's account on his Instagram story, where Hotez admitted he was a "junk food-aholic." Hotez later responded on Twitter that he had "no bad thoughts for Aaron" and called the quarterback's comment a "cheap shot," although he did notice that the Houston Texans, his hometown team, would play against the New York Jets in December. Joe Rogan, who shared vaccine "misinformation," offered Hotez $100,000 to debate RFKjr, but Hotez declined, not wanting a "Jerry Springer Show" situation.
The Epoch Times: Florida Town Quarantined to Eradicate Giant Invasive Snails
Florida has ordered a community in Broward County to be quarantined after invasive African land snails that could transmit a dangerous parasite and do significant agricultural damage were found in Miramar earlier this year. The snails, which can grow up to eight inches in length, can eat at least 500 different types of plants and other materials, risk posing health hazards such as meningitis and can puncture car tires. Under the quarantine, it is illegal to move a giant African land snail or a regulated article including plants, plant parts in soil and soil. Authorities discovered more than 1,000 invasive giant African land snails near Tampa in 2022 and 10 years and $23m were spent to eradicate the animals in Miami-Dade County after they were found there in 2011.
Daily Wire: Planned Parenthood Requests Dismissal Of Its Own Challenge To Kentucky Abortion Ban
Planned Parenthood and EMW Women's Surgical Center have requested a dismissal of their own year-long challenge to Kentucky's abortion ban after failing to produce a pregnant woman who couldn't get an abortion by the deadline set by the court.

They claimed the laws violated the rights to privacy and bodily autonomy and won a temporary block of the laws which was eventually overturned by the Kentucky Court of Appeals.

Forbes: UEFA’s Repeated Disorganization At Major Club Finals Raises Serious Concerns
The Champions League final between Manchester City and Inter Milan was plagued by chaos and lack of facilities for fans. Water was confiscated, toilets were scarce, and some fans had to climb over scrubland after their bus broke down. Fans were treated like cattle and charged extortionate prices for tickets, while corporate yield is the real priority for UEFA. The governing body implemented 21 recommendations before the Istanbul final, but major soccer tournaments are ultimately designed for corporate gain, and supporters are a mere afterthought. There have been three bungled major finals in two years, and without proper organization, a tragedy is waiting to happen.

The Epoch Times: Texas Requires State Charging Stations to Include Tesla's Plug in Another Victory for Musk
Tesla's charging technology is set to be the dominant standard for electric vehicles (EVs) in the US after the state of Texas included it in a requirement for all EV companies participating in its electrification programme to provide both Tesla's North American Charging Standard (NACS) and the Combined Charging System (CCS). Rivian CEO RJ Scaringe said he preferred Tesla's standard, which he believed was more compact, and said the company was planning to make it a standard feature on its vehicles from 2025. Tesla already accounts for 60% of America's fast chargers, and the moves by other manufacturers, such as Ford and General Motors, to use its charging technology in their EVs has convinced charging companies to install more NACS-capable fast chargers in the US.
The Epoch Times: When Your Home Security System Turns the Camera on You
Homeowners around the world are installing smart home systems, but may not be aware of potential risks these systems pose to their privacy. Smart systems have the ability to be controlled by external sources, either through hacking or through the company that installed them, as was the case with Xcel, the local electric utility company that locked Colorado residents out of their thermostats during a heat wave. Academic research published in March 2023 details a number of risks posed by the Internet-of-Things (IoT), including privacy invasion, hacking, malware, stalking, and denial-of-service attacks. The report calls for increased awareness and understanding of these risks.
American intelligence and law enforcement agencies regularly purchase commercially available intelligence on American citizens from "data brokers." This includes "credit histories, insurance claims, criminal records, employment histories, incomes, ethnicities, purchase histories, and interests." However, there is little transparency about how this information is being used and by whom, and the potential for information to be misused is high. Despite this, the intelligence community has determined that commercial available intelligence has significant value for intelligence purposes. Legal experts are calling for increased privacy legislation and more transparency in the use of commercially available intelligence.

Daily Wire: USDA Approves Sale Of ‘Lab-Grown’ Meat
USDA approved lab-grown meat for commercial sale. Two California companies have been authorized to sell chicken created from animal cells. The approval was made by FDA earlier. While Singapore allows the legal sale of lab-grown meat, Italy banned the sale of it in March. The companies will not be bringing it to grocery stores yet due to high production costs. The lab product will be labeled “cell-cultivated chicken” and proponents claim that lab-grown meat is a more environmentally sustainable option than animals from farms and ranches. However, it is said to be more expensive than conventionally grown meat and a preprint study published in May suggests it may actually be worse for the environment.

The Epoch Times: Senate Upholds Biden Veto of Measure to Roll Back EPA's Truck Pollution Rule
Republicans in the Senate failed to get enough support to override President Biden's veto of their resolution to block the EPA from enforcing its new air pollution rules for heavy-duty trucks. The rule requires trucks to meet stricter-than-ever emission standards to reduce air pollutants, such as nitrogen oxides. The EPA claims it will result in annual net economic benefits of $29 billion and prevent thousands of deaths and cases of childhood asthma each year, but Republicans argue the technology required will cost too much and increase freight costs, negatively impacting the economy.

Thunberg deleted the post and humanity hasn't stopped using fossil fuels in 2023. The scientist insists his words were distorted and said he would "never" claim that humanity would be wiped out by 2023.
