The Epoch Times: The FBI’s Illegal Surveillance Is Not New. But the Magnitude Of The Problem Has Never Been Fully Disclosed. Until Now. | Truth Over News
The FBI's massive illegal surveillance of American citizens has been revealed in a new report. The FBI has been warrantlessly using "backdoor searches" in the Section 702 database intended for foreign surveillance, which contains vast amounts of information including emails, texts, and phone calls from tech giants and the internet backbone.
PJ Media: Mexican News Outlet: Cartels Have Rocket Launchers at the Border
The cartels at the US-Mexico border are now armed with military-grade equipment, including rocket launchers, which were seen in a now-viral video of a Gulf cartel member wearing a tactical vest with a Scorpions shield. While some states are sending their National Guard units to secure the border, the Biden administration plans to expand the number of immigrants through the CBP One app to 40,000 per month and arm Ukraine against Russia. The situation has raised questions about whether the administration is focusing enough on the attacks from criminal gangs crossing the southern border into the US.

The Rushingbrook Children’s Choir were stopped mid-National Anthem by Capitol Police who claimed that it could be considered as a form of protest. The performance was pre-approved and coordinated but may have had a permit mix-up. This incident is embarrassing and telling of a problem with the permit system.
The Epoch Times: Montana Bans Financial Institutions From Imposing Gun Sales Tracking Codes
Montana Governor Greg Gianforte has signed a bill that bars financial institutions in the state from requiring a specific merchant category code (MCC) for firearms purchases to be tracked. Last year, a committee on the International Organization for Standardization had voted to create a firearms-specific MCC, prompting lawmakers in several states to file legislation to prevent any gun-purchase tracking systems. Montana is among several states to have done so, with West Virginia, Idaho, Mississippi, North Dakota and Florida following suit. Visa, Mastercard and American Express paused their plans to institute the MCC in March, citing “confusion and legal uncertainty”.
Newsbusters: CBS, NBC Join ABC in Lifting Biden After Fall, Fret GOP Being ‘Quick to Pounce,’ ‘Seize’
The media is defending President Biden after he tripped on the stairs while boarding Air Force One in March. ABC, CBS, and NBC are painting criticism by Republicans as petty and highlighting Biden's good spirits in joking about the fall. Despite concerns over Biden's age, the networks are dismissing the incident as a non-issue and emphasizing that anyone could have tripped. The coverage was made possible by advertisers such as Amazon, Consumer Cellular, and Golf Galaxy.
The Babylon Bee: America Votes To Add ‘Can You Walk And Speak In Sentences’ To Presidential Job Application
Voters want presidential candidates to be able to walk and speak in coherent sentences, sparking controversy with the White House. The addition of further questions, such as whether a candidate's son is addicted to drugs or if they're being paid by the Chinese Communist Party, is also being considered.
The Epoch Times: FBI Director Agrees to Show Document Alleging Biden Bribery Scheme to House Oversight Leaders
FBI Director Christopher Wray has agreed to hand over an uncorroborated document regarding allegations that Joe Biden, while serving as vice president, participated in a bribery scandal in exchange for monetary gain for his family's businesses. House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer and Sen. Chuck Grassley demanded to see the document and Comer subsequently issued a subpoena. Wray's lack of compliance may result in him being held in contempt of Congress.
Newsbusters: Scarborough: Forget the Fall, Biden 'Crushed the Extremes' in 'Big Blanking Deal' on Debt Limit
Joe Scarborough praised Joe Biden and Kevin McCarthy for their work in passing a new debt-ceiling deal. Scarborough compared Biden to Neil Young, citing his experience in getting things done in D.C. and defying expectations. However, Scarborough and the liberal media's dismissal of Biden's fall is concerning due to the increased risk of mortality associated with falls for people of his age.
The Blaze: FBI will bring document alleging Biden 'criminal bribery scheme' to Capitol Hill — but a major question remains
FBI Director Christopher Wray will let Congress view a document alleging a "criminal bribery scheme" involving Joe Biden. The House Oversight Committee demanded Wray supply a copy of the document, which the FBI initially refused to give to protect confidential sources. However, only House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer and Rep. Jamie Raskin will be allowed to view the document at a secured location on Capitol Hill. It remains unclear whether Wray is complying with the subpoena fully. Comer threatened contempt proceedings if there were any failure to produce the FD-1023 form to the committee for investigation.
The Epoch Times: IN-DEPTH - Jan. 6 Defendants and Prisoners Raise Thousands in Donations the Government Wants to Confiscate
The US government seeks to confiscate funds raised for crowdfunding efforts to support Jan. 6 defendants through sites like GiveSendGo. Prosecutors seek to impose fines ranging from $450 to over $71,000 in more than 1,000 Jan. 6 cases. This is in addition to other fines and prison sentences, which, according to Tim Rivers, the founder of the Patriot Mail Project, creates a situation where the government is "entitled to steal with authority." Crowdfunding platforms like GSG have become the last resort for Jan-6ers to raise money, especially after GoFundMe has shut down conservative crowdfunding efforts in the past.
Daily Wire: Trudeau’s Rival References Rumor Trudeau Was Fired From Teaching For Relationship With Student
Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre referenced an unconfirmed rumor that Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was fired from his teaching position for an inappropriate relationship with a student. Trudeau responded by accusing Poilievre of not checking the facts and Poilievre continued to press the matter. The unverified allegations have been spread by gossip websites and have floated around social media for years.
The Epoch Times: Chinese Hackers’ Attack on Key US Bases on Guam Is Part of Unrestricted Warfare: Military Expert
China's "Volt Typhoon," a Beijing-sponsored hacker group, has been carrying out cyber attacks against critical infrastructure in Guam and elsewhere in the United States, according to a report by Microsoft. Experts believe that the hackers are pursuing the development of capabilities that could disrupt critical communications infrastructure between the United States and Asia region during future crises. Security experts observed that the hackers intended to perform spying activities and maintain access for as long as possible without being detected. Former director of operations at U.S. Pacific Command’s Joint Intelligence Center, Carl Schuster, told The Epoch Times that the Chinese Communist Party is either rehearsing for an impending war or has already launched some form of war against the United States through its Unrestricted Warfare strategy.
In addition to quasi-military cyberattacks, the CCP’s efforts to manipulate public opinion and interfere with U.S. elections are also part of their Unrestricted Warfare strategy, according to experts. TikTok's "Election Center," which allows users to access election information in each state, has been identified as a concern. Reps. Jim Banks and Michael Waltz sent a letter to Jeffrey Wichman, the head of the U.S. intelligence community responsible for foreign political interference, to express their concerns that TikTok could provide an unprecedented political surveillance and election interference tool for the CCP. Experts suggest that China is trying to reshape public opinion in the West through media, law, and psychological warfare, with the aim of creating a perception that Beijing's actions are legitimate while undermining the legitimacy of its opponents’ military, diplomatic, and political efforts. The regime also seeks to manipulate public opinion in the West by controlling media narratives.

The Federalist Papers: Bud Light Continues Mixed Signals: Donates $200K to LBGTQ+ Group After Mulvaney Fiasco
Bud Light faces boycott by conservatives over its association with transgender influencer. The beer brand has announced a $200,000 donation to an LGBTQ+ non-profit organisation. Despite an emphasis on its support for the LGBTQ+ community, Bud Light has seen a $27 billion drop in market value, resulting from the boycott. Anheuser-Busch, Bud Light's parent company, has also struggled to clarify the situation to its customers. Gay bars in Chicago have joined the boycott. Anheuser-Busch has resorted to giving away free beer and repurchasing unsold cases. This week, Anheuser-Busch was hit by a 5% stock drop.
PJ Media: Massive Citizens' Movement Is Growing, Defending Children Against Permanent Mutilation of Woke Trans Ideology
A movement is growing to stop the "Woke transgender movement" which is indoctrinating children in public schools across the US with gender dysphoria, encouraging them to undergo medical procedures and drugs that have often lifelong physical and pharmaceutical consequences. Over 100 bills protecting minors from gender ideology in healthcare, sports, education, bathrooms, and more have been enacted since 2022, with nearly 30 states considering bills to give more parental control over sexual education materials in public schools. Federal attorneys may begin bringing litigation to nullify these state statutes.
The Blaze: Calvin Klein tries to commit brand suicide with this new billboard
Calvin Klein and PetSmart are changing their branding to reflect the woke agenda. Calvin Klein ads now feature overweight and gender non-conforming models, while PetSmart displays signs promoting unconditional love, with animals floating on the transgender and rainbow flags. Dave Rubin questions the new branding, claiming that advertising is about aspiring to something and that the new campaigns are nonsensical.
The Epoch Times: IN-DEPTH: Attorneys General, Legal Groups Supporting Parents Who Sued School Over Daughter’s Gender Transition
22 state attorneys general have sided with two Florida parents in a lawsuit against a school district. The parents claim they were excluded from meetings between school officials and their child regarding gender transition measures. The attorneys general penned an amicus brief supporting the parents, claiming that parents have the constitutional right to be involved in the decision-making process if their child decides to transition gender. The brief argues that many school districts have excluded parents from such discussions, violating their fundamental rights.
PJ Media: New Poll on Transgender Rights Shows Americans Are Not 'Deeply Divided' on the Issue
Americans are not divided on transgender issues, according to recent polls. 71% of respondents agreed with the statement "there are two genders, male and female," and even larger majorities approved laws making it illegal to perform sex-change surgery or hormone replacement therapy on minors. Despite this consensus, transgender activists are given a broad platform, in part because corporations are turning left in response to the threat of boycotts and bad publicity.

The Epoch Times: The Chinese Regime Is Committing Muslim Genocide, Biden and Islamic States Must Act
China's Communist Party under Xi Jinping has increasingly violated human rights; it has launched a campaign to "Sinicize" and "deradicalize" religions in China in order to pressure organized religions to conform to "Xi Jinping thought" and other CCP demands, leading to violations of religious freedom. Genocidal persecution of Muslims in Xinjiang has now expanded to China's Hui Muslim minority in Yunnan, with many mosques being destroyed along with Islamic architecture in the region. Despite this, the Biden administration continues to promote engagement with China, though it is questionable whether this approach is in the US' national interest given what is happening. International action should be taken instead to pressure the CCP to end human rights abuses and persecution of Chinese Muslims; Biden should cancel Blinken's trip to Beijing, freeze all contact with China, formulate and release strategies for documenting human rights abuses, and coordinate with other leaders from major Islamic states to condemn CCP's actions.

The Epoch Times: US Fines British Airways Almost £1 Million Over COVID-19 Flight Refunds
British Airways has been fined almost £1 million by the U.S. government for failing to provide timely refunds for cancelled flights during COVID-19. The airline has been accused of having “misleading information” on its website, including requesting travel vouchers instead of refunds. The U.S. Transportation Department has said the carrier failed to maintain adequate functionality of its customer service phone lines, which caused difficulties for thousands of passengers.
The fine comes after the airline was forced to cancel dozens of flights and faced an IT issue that caused disruption to half-term holiday plans for thousands of families. Around 16,000 passengers were affected by cancellations, and there were widespread delays to other flights. British Airways offered passengers the option to rebook flights on alternative carriers, or to request refunds.

The Blaze: Squires: When it comes to 'Pride,' a second Trump term would be more Lady MAGA than 'Uganda Forever'
Conservative Christians who believe that Donald Trump will stop the spread of the Pride movement may be in for a rude awakening. Trump's support for LGBTQ rights has put him at odds with his evangelical base, who may be blinded by his cult of personality just as Obama's supporters were. The GOP needs to reign in companies that are mutilating American children and stop worshiping the golden idol of GDP. Voters should not base their beliefs on a wish and a dream, but on pragmatic realities. Conservatives can still support Trump, but they should not expect him to take a strong principled stance against the Pride movement.

The Federalist: Lizzo Feeling Bad About Her Weight Could Be First Step To Health
Lizzo threatens to quit music due to online fat-shaming criticism. The pop star's Twitter account remains locked as she complains about online comments criticizing her weight and diet. While exercise is important, weight is primarily dictated by diet, and Lizzo's social media presence capitalizes on gluttony. Her outrage could be a triggering call for her millions of fans, particularly black Americans who suffer the highest prevalence of obesity, to prioritize health above anything else. A commitment to health begins with the complete elimination of deadly ultra-processed foods.

The Federalist Papers: Walgreens Causes a Stir by Unveiling 'Anti-Theft' Store with Radical New Security Measures
Walgreens has reopened a recently redesigned downtown Chicago store, using just two aisles packed with affordable essentials and kiosk technology to guard against shoplifting. If customers want items not in the aisles, they can use the kiosks to have their items collected by staff. Walgreens has said the store aims to enhance customer service while reducing theft and improving safety for customers and staff. While online reactions were generally negative, with commentators referencing the liberal attitude towards theft, Walgreens said the new store would test a range of technologies and practices.

The women of Oakland are fed up with teens attacking them and are speaking out, despite the media and politicians ignoring the issue. Victims describe brutal attacks where they were beaten and dragged through the streets. The attackers are young, angry thugs who are rarely charged. The Marxist-created cycle of violent crime will lead to more defensive shootings and racial strife.

Forbes: With A Federal Bankruptcy Ruling, MLB’s Days On Bally Sports Appear Numbered
Major League Baseball and Diamond Sports Group are facing a stand-off, after a US bankruptcy judge ruled that the latter should pay the full amount of its contractual agreements with several teams. Diamond Sports sought to pay less due to the changing media rights market, prompting the threat of selective contract rejection. Although MLB will stand ready to make games available for fans, pulling together contracts to carry games on DirecTV, COX, AT&T U-verse, Spectrum, Fubo and MLB's streaming platform will not be a quick process. It seems that after the payment schedule for the Arizona Diamondbacks, Cleveland Guardians, Minnesota Twins, and Texas Rangers come up, there is a real possibility that Diamond will relinquish media rights back to MLB.

MLB said they hope the group will continue to broadcast games at full contractual obligation to clubs. The conflict between the two emerged after DSG was seeking to pay less based on changes in the media rights market.

The Epoch Times: Add Some Pizzazz to Patio With Colorized Concrete
To add lasting color to a dull concrete patio, avoid painting it due to peeling and slipperiness. Instead, use concrete stain which can last five years before requiring reapplication. Acid-based stain attaches to the surface, solvent-based stain soaks into pores, and water-based stain produces deep tones. Proper application involves ensuring the concrete surface is clean and free of grease and oil before allowing it to dry thoroughly and applying the stain per the manufacturer's instructions.
Field & Stream: 3 Key Takeaways from the 2023 Spring Turkey Season
Turkey hunting season in the Southeast saw some success, thanks in part to stricter hunting regulations and past favorable weather, but some states in the North and West have seen a decline in populations and have implemented reduced bag limits and permit sales. A shift in turkey hunting culture toward old-school ethics is taking place, with more hunters focused on land and habitat management, but some southern hunters are using this as an excuse to criticize those who use decoys or ground blinds, reminiscent of the big-antler obsession that plagued deer hunting a decade ago.
The Epoch Times: The Harsh Truth About Concrete Pavers
Concrete paving bricks may seem attractive and versatile, but they pale in comparison to true clay paving bricks. Concrete pavers fade and change color over time while clay paving bricks retain their rich hues. In addition, concrete pavers are set in sand, making them vulnerable to tilting and weed growth, and susceptible to ants nesting in the sand. Even polymeric sand does not hold up to harsh winters. For a truly trouble-free brick patio, it is best to use thin split clay paving bricks filled with mortar.

Cabinet has extended Catherine Tait's tenure as president and CEO of CBC and Radio-Canada for 18 months while the government reassesses their mandate with the passing of Online Streaming Act and the expected passing of Bill C-18. Bill C-18 would require companies like Google to compensate Canadian news organisations for content that appears on their platform. During her tenure, Tait plans to focus on addressing polarisation and distrust amongst Canadians and fostering conversations in English, French, and Indigenous languages.
