The American Mind: So Many Ways to Glow
The Patriot Front, known for their surprise marches while wearing khaki pants, blue t-shirts, and displaying American flags with slogans like "Reclaim America," is a lightning rod for both Left and Right. To the Left, they are a terrifying example of how fascism is metastasizing within conservatism, while to conservatives, Patriot Front is regarded as an FBI office costume party performing a political campaign stunt. The group's marches or stunts are met with derision from conservatives, with the small handful of members nearly always surrounded by a swarm of "anti-fascist" protestors and numerous police officers to ensure their safety. However, the truth is more complicated. Patriot Front is a thinly-disguised “op” to trap foolish right-wingers into supporting a criminal conspiracy in order to meet the Bureau’s statistical needs for white supremacist terrorist arrests.

The Federalist Papers: MLB Made a Subtle Change on Social Media That Will Have Leftists Furious During Pride Month
Amidst the transgenderism backlash, the LGBT agenda has begun to alienate people who would have otherwise been detached from the culture war. Although Major League Baseball made token celebrations of “pride” throughout June, it invited, disinvited and later reinstated a group of the mentally ill blasphemers known as the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence for their “pride” celebration, indicating MLB may have crossed a line into lunacy. Recently, the league changed its profile logo on Facebook to one emblazoned with the colors of the LGBT flag but later stealthily changed it back to its previous logo and updated it with a post honoring Lou Gehrig Day. People are tired of being told that men can become pregnant and womanhood is an accessory, and organizations such as MLB, Anheuser-Busch and Target are quickly learning this painful reality.

Some companies, including HP, Pfizer, and Bank of America, still changed their social media icons to rainbow logos.

Chinese government agents have been caught posing as tourists in Alaska and spying on sensitive military bases several times in recent years.

Newsbusters: Our Fake Spending Debates
After three months of pledging not to negotiate, President Biden and Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy have agreed to raise the debt limit with a compromise deal. The deal includes a cut to non-military spending and work requirements for some federal aid, among other provisions. However, this compromise was far less than House Republicans had demanded, and conservative ideals weren't on the table. The real drivers of our budgetary bloat and economic stagnation – Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid – remain untouched. The reality is that our budgetary debates are generally about shifting deck chairs on the fiscal Titanic.
The Epoch Times: Trudeau Mute on Details Surrounding Stalled Stellantis Factory Deal
Negotiations between the Canadian government and Stellantis over a $5 billion electric vehicle battery plant continue, according to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Talks stalled after Stellantis claimed Ottawa had failed to meet expectations, prompting Ontario Premier Doug Ford to call for greater government support, such as that provided to Volkswagen, and the region committed to paying a third of the plant's cost. Trudeau said securing such investments was critical to creating "great jobs right across this country for decades to come" and stressed the importance to Canada of its supply chain, minerals sector and workforce quality.
Stellantis' proposed electric vehicle battery plant in Windsor, Ontario, remains under negotiation, with the Canadian government declining to give details of discussions. Stellantis suspended talks earlier in May, claiming the Canadian federal government had not delivered on agreed commitments, such as investment. However, Ontario's government subsequently pledged to pay a third of the proposed $5 billion bill for the plant. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau stressed the importance of generating investment to create long-term employment and safeguard Canada's supply chains, minerals industry and employee base.

Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger provided insights and advice at the Berkshire Hathaway Annual Meeting in Omaha, with investors eager to hear how disruptive technologies, like AI, will affect value investing. Munger was pessimistic, advising value investors to "get used to making less" due to increased competition. Buffett disagreed, stating that new technologies "do not take away opportunities" but that there has been a significant increase in people making "dumb things", providing new opportunities for investors. He added that funding for new ideas is easier to obtain now than decades ago and that he would "love to be born today" to turn a small investment into a fortune.

The Epoch Times: Navy Posts and Then Quietly Deletes LGBT-Themed Images on Social Media
The US Navy’s official Twitter account briefly featured an LGBT-themed banner and modified its profile picture to include rainbow colours, in recognition of LGBT Pride Month. However, the imagery was subsequently removed from the account. A navy spokesperson stated that the social media change had been an effort to recognise LGBTQ+ service members, but provided no reason for their removal. However, Republican politicians have recently questioned whether the US Department of Defense is promoting “woke” social and political agendas using military resources.
Earlier this year, an officer who performed drag claimed she’d been forced to retire from the US National Guard after colleagues criticised her decision to take part in drag competitions using military equipment. Also, a 2020 report by the Government Accountability Office criticised the Department of Defense for not tracking the cost of diversity programmes and not properly evaluating their effectiveness.

The Epoch Times: Denying Bail OK If for a 'Just Cause,' Says Government's Charter Statement on Bill
New Canadian legislation would make it harder for repeat violent offenders to seek pretrial release. The bill would put the onus on accused people to prove they should be granted bail in cases where they have been convicted of similar violent offenses involving a weapon in the last five years. Critics argue this proposal could be challenged under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. The proposed law targets moments where an accused person could likely pose a significant risk to public safety if they were granted bail. The Liberal's introduction of the bill was following pressure from a range of organizations, including provincial and territorial premiers, victims’ rights groups, police groups and opposition parties.

A British woman recaps her experience starting a community garden plot in Lincolnshire. She sees the project as a way to connect with nature, grow food, exercise, and meet others. Some plot holders, including her, were late to start developing their plots, but this allowed her to observe the mistakes made by others, such as insufficient reinforcement against strong winds. Other plot holders gave her advice on how to rabbit-proof and deer-proof their vegetables, how to grow potatoes and deal with pesky insects, and where to find good deals on gardening supplies. She also learned to communicate with fellow gardeners, share resources, and stick to her own gardening pace. The next steps involve planting more vegetables and building water catchments and bird nets.
