The Epoch Times: Lawmakers Call for Reform in US Classification System
Calls for reform of the U.S. classification system have been growing from lawmakers and the intelligence community due to allegations of mishandling classified documents. Both Republicans and Democrats agree that there is an issue with overclassification of documents, which leads to a lack of accountability and public right to know. Enacted in 1951 by President Harry Truman, the levels of classification in the U.S. government are confidential, secret, and top secret. Classified material has been so mishandled that it has allegedly been found even in bathrooms and garages.
The American Spectator: Five Quick Things: The George Floyd–ization of Adam Schiff
House Democrats closed ranks around Adam Schiff despite his lies, showing that they prioritize their narrative above all else, even when it means defending a smarmy Deep State liar. They've galvanized around three principles: fighting together, sticking to their narrative, and portraying themselves as the defenders of "Our Democracy" against Trump and his supporters. This may not be a political asset for them, but it reinforces discipline and loyalty within their ranks.
Meanwhile, the media frenzy over the submersible accident distracting from more important news such as the push by the Alphabet People to normalize pedophilia and the blatant favoritism shown to Hunter Biden in the judicial system. The federal judicial system has lost any legitimacy it may have had, while the FBI should be disbanded. On a positive note, a new book by the author called Racism, Revenge, and Ruin: Obama's Ongoing War on America is coming out soon, discussing how Obama has destabilized American society.

India and the United States also signed off on a deal to allow General Electric to produce jet engines in India to power Indian military aircraft, and India will procure U.S.-made armed MQ-9B SeaGuardian drones. The United States will make it easier for skilled Indian workers to get and renew U.S. visas.
The American Spectator: Democracy and Its Lunkheads
The flaws of democracy are exposed as candidates win based on celebrity and name recognition rather than intelligence, character, or capability. Many voters are uninformed and clueless about the issues and candidates, leading to the election of lunkheads and morally despicable people on both sides. The result is a government that fails to protect the law-abiding and educate on important issues.

Breitbart: Joe Biden, Merrick Garland Implicated in IRS Whistleblower Testimony: 5 Key Questions
The U.S. House Ways and Means Committee released the testimony of an IRS whistleblower, revealing evidence that Joe Biden was present during Hunter's attempt to pressure a Chinese investor and that the DOJ interfered in the investigation into Hunter Biden's tax crimes, contradicting AG Garland's claims. Republicans released transcripts of two whistleblowers, prompting several questions that will need to be answered by Garland and possibly Biden. Shapley testified that the DOJ deliberately stalled the investigation to hit the "window" before the 2020 presidential election and that Garland rejected a request to appoint a special counsel.

The goal is to secure and renew trust in the American election process.

Fox News: GREG GUTFELD: AI reveals what we already knew, conservatives are happier and more attractive than liberals
AI can predict a person's political leanings with 61% accuracy based on their face. Right-wingers were found to be way hotter than left-wingers.

Left-leaning men had more neutral faces than conservative men who looked happier and conservative female politicians looked happier and more attractive than liberals. The left might use this technology to keep conservatives under surveillance.

Breitbart: CNN Could Be Put Up for Sale, Jeff Zucker 'Likely’ to Make a Bid
Former CNN CEO Jeff Zucker is reportedly considering a bid to purchase the network after being ousted over a year ago.

While some sources claim that Warner Bros. Discovery is "readying the cable news network for a sale," others are less certain.

Townhall: Misunderstanding Lady Liberty: Why We’re Free in America
The Statue of Liberty attracts a diverse crowd, but the new museum on Liberty Island doesn't fully explain why America is the only country where the idea of a republic, with all men created equal, came to be. The museum focuses on America as a nation of immigrants, but it doesn't specify why America continues to attract immigrants on a scale no other nation has. The answer would start with dead, white, English-speaking males who shaped American values and beliefs, which guided the country's development. The Statue of Liberty stands on these ideas, and they should be specified in the museum's displays.

The Epoch Times: FTC Argues Microsoft's Deal to Buy Activision Should Be Blocked
The Federal Trade Commission argued in court for a preliminary injunction to temporarily block Microsoft’s acquisition of Activision Blizzard. The FTC says the $69bn merger would give the Xbox videogame console exclusive access to Activision games, harming competition in various markets. Microsoft disputes the claims and said every piece of evidence shows it only makes sense for Xbox to make Activision games available to as many people on as many platforms as possible. The hearing is scheduled to proceed through June 29, with Matt Booty, head of Xbox Game Studios at Microsoft; Sarah Bond, Microsoft corporate vice president of gaming ecosystem; and Pete Hines, group senior vice president and head of publishing at Microsoft subsidiary Bethesda Softworks, among those due to give evidence.

Flag And Cross: Urban Growth Threatens Butterflies And Wild Bees, Says Study

Researchers have found that certain groups are more affected than others, with butterflies being the most negatively impacted. The study highlights the importance of nature conservation measures in urban areas, and proposes designing cities that offer better resources for pollinators to counter the negative consequences of urban growth.
