The Right Scoop: Gov DeSantis responds to fake controversy around his name and it’s fantastic
Governor DeSantis hits a home run by responding to the fake controversy about his name with "No it's ridiculous, these stupid things. Listen, the way to pronounce my last name? Winner." Trump keeps throwing bad pitches and DeSantis keeps hitting them out of the park.
Crowds in South Carolina show massive support for DeSantis and his Great American Comeback. Time will tell if DeSantis' popularity will translate to poll numbers in his favor.
Breitbart: White House: We'll Try to Undo Some Debt Bill Concessions in Future Bills
The Biden administration plans to try to recover some of the concessions made in the debt limit bill in future legislation, according to White House National Economic Council Deputy Director Bharat Ramamurti. The compromise deal included work requirements, concessions on student debt repayments, climate change, and no new taxes on the wealthy, which has caused dissatisfaction among progressives like Senators Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders. Ramamurti acknowledged the concerns but explained that, in a world where the government is divided, the deal has to reflect that reality. However, he also stated that the possibility for changes in the future remains open.
National Review: The Corner: UN Human Rights Recommendation Brands Abortion Restrictions ‘Racial Discrimination’
The UN's attempt to draft an International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination is being infiltrated by woke policies, including those related to abortion. UN bureaucrats consider abortion restriction as racial discrimination and view "safe, legal and effective access to abortion" as a right to control one's health and body. This approach overlooks the fact that laws promoting easier abortion for minorities would be racist and a form of eugenics, while laws that inhibit abortion generally promote equality under the law. The UN should instead focus exclusively on fighting actual discriminatory policies to eliminate racism.
The Federalist Papers: Hunter Biden to Claim Second Amendment Protects His Right to Own a Gun While Addicted to Crack: Report
Hunter Biden's lawyers plan to use the Second Amendment to defend him for purchasing a handgun in 2018 during a time in which he admitted to being addicted to crack cocaine. Biden lied on an ATF Form 4473 when he purchased the gun, which asked if he was an unlawful user or addicted to drugs. Biden's lawyers may cite a Supreme Court ruling and other gun rights challenges to argue against any potential charges. The Justice Department is investigating Biden for alleged tax crimes and the false pretenses purchase of the gun. This legal tactic may further relax restrictions on the right to bear arms.
National Review: The Corner: Judge Critical of DeSantis Recuses Himself from Disney Case
Chief Judge Mark Walker, an Obama appointee and vocal critic of Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, has recused himself from a suit filed by Disney against DeSantis. Walker cited a canon of judicial ethics and stated family ownership of $2,600 worth of stock in The Walt Disney Company as his rationale for stepping down from the case. However, it is argued that this claim is pretextual, and that Governor DeSantis had a point in filing a motion demanding Walker's recusal, citing specific examples of Walker unprompted bringing up the Disney controversy in other, unrelated DeSantis-related cases he’s been hearing. Trump-appointed Allen Winsor will now preside and is likely to take legal questions of state governance seriously.
PJ Media: Trump Loses Endorsement to DeSantis Over Attack on Kayleigh McEnany
Former President Trump attacked former press secretary Kayleigh McEnany on Truth Social, losing at least one endorsement from Republican State Rep. James Spillane (R-Deerfield) who is now endorsing Gov. Ron DeSantis. Trump accused McEnany of reporting bogus poll data and called her “Kayleigh ‘Milktoast’ McEnany.” Spillane flipped from Trump to DeSantis, stating he cannot condone Trump’s disregard for others and endorsing DeSantis for president in 2024. Trump’s criticism of his loyal ally has sparked backlash and claims of a "deep fake" among New Hampshire's conservative and MAGA GOP circles.

Euromaidan Press: A car with a family explodes after striking Russian mine: three children among victims
A car ran over an unknown explosive device in Ukraine's Kharkiv oblast, killing a mother and seriously injuring her three children. The incident highlights the ongoing mine danger in the region, as Russian forces left many mines and other explosive devices behind when they occupied the territory in 2022. Ukraine remains the most mine-contaminated country in the world, and authorities estimate that it will take decades to fully clear the area.

Fox News: First Lady Jill Biden arrives in Egypt to promote empowerment for women, education for young people
First Lady Jill Biden arrives in Cairo, Egypt as part of her six-day trip promoting women's empowerment and education. She previously attended a royal wedding in Jordan, which drew high-profile guests including Prince William and Kate. Biden's visit to Egypt will focus on U.S. investments in education programs and meeting with President Abdel Fattah el-Sissi, despite concerns about the government's crackdown on dissent.
Fox News: UN warns cyclone-hit areas of Burma aren't receiving nearly enough aid, could face major food crisis soon
The UN warns that cyclone-hit areas of Burma are not receiving enough aid and could face a major food crisis soon if farmers cannot plant crops. Cyclone Mocha damaged thousands of dwellings and an estimated 700,000 homes, leaving members of the Rohingya minority in crowded displacement camps since 2017 further vulnerable. The UN is calling for depoliticization and demilitarization of aid, noting that roads, bridges, and seed stocks have been lost, putting 1.6 million people in urgent need of support. There is a high risk of famine unless effective action is taken.

Breitbart: Allstate, Like State Farm, Stops Issuing New Home, Business Insurance in California
Allstate has quietly stopped selling new homeowner and business insurance policies in California since last year, following State Farm's similar decision to cease policy sales this week. Allstate cited protecting current customers, while State Farm was primarily influenced by the increased risk of wildfires and rising building costs in the state, alongside regulator rules on pricing for new policies. California's pricing restrictions, designed to lower insurance prices, could, in fact, cause residents and investors to find it harder to obtain insurance.
Forbes: Tesla Stock Hits 4-Month High As Elon Musk's Net Worth Soars
Elon Musk's net worth is up 19% in just a month, thanks largely to Tesla's recent success, with shares reaching a high point of $212. The Ford partnership and Musk's meeting with Chinese business and political leaders have been cited as reasons for Tesla's recent optimism, as China accounts for around 20% of the company's sales. Musk's net worth is now just $16bn behind the world's richest man, French luxury tycoon Bernard Arnault.
Forbes: Lululemon Shares Soar 15% After First-Quarter Sales Growth
Lululemon's Q1 revenue increased by 24%, exceeding expectations with sales in China rising by 79%. The athleisure brand’s net revenue is projected to increase by 17% this year, with expansion planned into international markets, aiming to double its 2021 revenue to $12.5bn by 2025.
Spectator USA: The rise of the independent watchmakers
Independent watchmakers like Philippe Dufour and F.P. Journe have risen in popularity over the last four years, going from being niche to the coolest cats in the room. Value of their watches have skyrocketed and now these watchmakers are being treated as living artists. The prices for their watches are on the rise and it's unclear whether this will continue or come down in the future.
The value of watches made by independent watchmakers has risen exponentially in recent years, with examples like the F.P. Journe Souscription Tourbillon increasing 22-fold in just five and a half years. Even ephemera from these watchmakers, such as F.P. Journe Kokies rubber dolls, are going for huge amounts of money. The interest in independent watchmakers is well-deserved, but it remains to be seen whether the prices of their watches will continue to rise or whether they are merely affected by hype culture.
Fox News: Crime is surging and here’s a way to help stop it
Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy argues for returning to stable currency Federal Reserve policies of the 1980s-1990s in a Wall Street Journal op-ed. Inflation-enabled crime waves are underestimated, with studies showing a correlation between low-currency-value and high crime rates. Property crime rates particularly increase with rising inflation, which affects societal trust and may incite criminal behavior. The Fed's solution of interest rate hikes does not address the underlying problem of unstable currency, creating a need for a sound dollar to promote trade, investment, and social trust.
Red State: Labor Market Stays Strong, Adding 339,000 Jobs in May - But Previous Revisions Suggest Problems
US employers added almost 340,000 jobs in May, with unemployment up slightly to 3.7%. However, there was a drop of 310,000 people counted as employed in the household survey, used to calculate the unemployment rate, which contributed to the rise. High-profile companies such as Facebook parent Meta Platforms, Goldman Sachs and Grant Thornton are among those that have laid off workers, although overall layoffs remain low, the labour report said. The news may have an effect on the Federal Reserve's interest rate hike initiative. Federal Reserve officials are closely monitoring the labour market as they consider their next policy move.
Hourly compensation for US workers has been revised down from a previously reported increase of 4.9% to a decrease of 0.7%, according to data from the Bureau of Labour Statistics. A downward revision to compensation meant unit labour costs decreased by 2.2%, rather than increasing by 3.3%, in Q4 2022. That key revision could mean that wages are not as high as they appear to have been this month, and might have a significant impact on the Federal Reserve's plans going forward.
The Epoch Times: Xi’s 'Bitterness' for China
China's economy is struggling with youth unemployment at an all-time high, and Xi Jinping is urging college graduates to "eat bitterness" in a throwback to the Cultural Revolution. The regime is encouraging graduates to take lower-wage jobs in industries disfavored by the state, leading to widespread discontent and a rise in the "lying flat" movement. China's ban on for-profit tutoring has hurt employment opportunities for graduates, with crackdowns on foreign and tech businesses within China further damaging the economy. A nonviolent revolution yielding a representative government and market economy could help unlock the potential of China's discontented and unemployed youth.
American Thinker: Confidence lags (again) in Biden's economy
Business Confidence in the US drops for the seventh month in a row and falls below 50, indicating contraction in manufacturing continues and slightly accelerates. The decrease is significant as it is the longest period of contraction since the Great Recession, indicating major bankruptcies and government intervention in the economy.
While the news is gloomy, the market closed positively as investors applaud the progress made in addressing the debt ceiling issue. The US will not declare official bankruptcy but will instead get deeper into debt.

Breitbart: Austin Lauds LGBTQ+ Troops: Their Service 'Adds to America's Strength'
Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin honors the service of LGBTQ+ troops and personnel during Pride Month, calling their contributions to national security "powerful." He argues that the US military must remain "open to all qualified patriots who seek to serve" in order to "defend our republic and win its wars." Transgender Americans who meet Department standards are able to serve openly and free from discrimination. About 14,700 transgender individuals were serving in the military in 2018, a figure that includes both active-duty and reserve, out of 2.5 million serving. The statement comes almost two years after Austin ordered a COVID-19 vaccine mandate that led to the involuntary discharge of over 8,000 service members, amid a military recruiting crisis.

The Epoch Times: How Jews Were Scapegoated During the Pandemic
The scapegoating of Jews for spreading disease goes back to the Middle Ages, but it resurfaced during the COVID-19 pandemic. Jewish communities were targeted and blamed for spreading the virus, with attacks coming from both government officials and media outlets. Similar attacks also targeted Christian communities that gathered during the pandemic. Governments arrested people for singing hymns and banned ritual singing by religious groups, attacking core beliefs and the religions themselves. However, faith communities were the first to experiment with helpful therapeutics and were led to a better science due to their distrust of secular authorities. Ironically, Dr. Vladimir Zelenko, a leader in repurposed therapeutics, faced an attack from the New York Times in his obituary. The scapegoating of religious communities during the pandemic should serve as an ominous sign, and faith communities need to defend their rights and protect their traditions.

Breitbart: ‘I Got Sandbagged’: Joe Biden Tries to Explain Big Fall
President Biden fell on stage at the Air Force Academy graduation and attributed the fall to being "sandbagged." The fall has raised concerns about his health and mental acuity among voters, with a majority of Americans expressing concern about his health and mental acuity. Some Democrats are not worried about his health, while others see it as a liability that comes with age.

Breitbart: Health Centre Asks Parents if Their Newborns Are Transgender
A health centre in Birmingham, England, provided a registration form asking new parents if they considered their newborns to be transgender or non-binary. The form offered options including male, female, non-binary, other or not stated. The Woodgate Valley Health Centre said the form was for new patients of all ages and that it was not part of any national policy. However, critics such as the Free Speech Union director Toby Young accused the practice of "imposing crazy ideas about sex and gender." The UK's National Health Service has also been accused of adopting woke culture.

Fox News: Son of Home Depot worker assaulted by shoplifter pleads for action on retail crime: 'Has to be consequences'
Organized retail crime is becoming more dangerous, as shoplifters become emboldened and violent, leading to fatalities. The son of a North Carolina Home Depot worker killed after confronting a shoplifter last year says there needs to be "consequences" for these crimes, and for authorities to crackdown on organized retail crime rings. According to ABC's "Nightline", Jeff Rasor believes his father Gary would want people to realize how dangerous these crimes have become. The man who shoved Rasor has been charged with robbery and first degree murder and his case is currently pending. Just a few months after this attack, another Home Depot worker was killed by a shoplifter in California.
Fox News: California city faces fury of residents at community meeting: Who wants to live like this?!
Over 500 Oakland residents and business owners gathered for a community meeting with District One City Council member Dan Kalb to address the city’s surge in violent crime. In the meeting, attendees expressed their frustration with the increase of robberies, including carjackings, shootings, and assaults. Oakland police reported 100 robberies in a week and a 7% increase in robberies citywide from last year. Authorities are alarmed to see more juveniles involved in crime. The meeting was streamed on Facebook as Kalb and other officials tried to outline steps to address the crime problem, which they say is a “multi-tiered” issue that will require more than just fixing police issues.

Forbes: Phillies’ Trea Turner Sure Isn’t Playing Like A $300 Million Man
The Philadephia Phillies signed shortstop Trea Turner to an 11-year, $300 million deal and saw him excel in the World Baseball Classic, but his actual season has been lackluster. He's hitting .236-.280-.371, ranking as one of the least productive regulars in baseball due to giving up grounders for fly balls and focusing on launch angle instead of batted ball authority. His K/BB profile has also been abysmal with high strikeouts and low walks, causing his overall Tru Production level to be below his adjusted contact score. This poor performance is concerning given his high price tag.
