Newsbusters: Scarborough Voted To Impeach Clinton, Slams GOP Move To Impeach Biden
Morning Joe's Scarborough hypocritically slams Republicans for moving to impeach Biden, while neglecting to mention his own past as a congressman who voted to impeach Bill Clinton. Scarborough's suppression of his personal history is made even more glaring by Susan Page of USA Today's warning that this move could put their hopes of holding onto the House majority in 2024 in jeopardy. The segment was sponsored by VRBO, Pfizer, Walgreens, and Infiniti.
The Epoch Times: Justice Alito Defends Decisions to Not Disclose Fishing Trip, Not Recuse on Supreme Court Related Case
Justice Samuel Alito defends not disclosing a paid Alaska trip in 2008 and not recusing on a court case in 2014 connected to the person who paid for the transportation. ProPublica published on Wednesday details about the 2008 fishing trip to Alaska, alleging billionaire entrepreneur Paul Singer paid for Alito's private jet and hospitality at the King Salmon Lodge in exchange for Alito voting in his favour in a court case. Alito denies any wrongdoing and claims he, along with other justices, commonly interpreted financial disclosure requirements to mean social transport and accommodations were not reportable gifts.
The Federalist: In Text, Hunter Biden Used 'My Father' To Extort CCP Associate
Hunter Biden allegedly used his father's political influence to negotiate with Chinese businessman Henry Zhao, according to testimony from IRS whistleblower Gary Shapley, released by the Ways and Means Committee. In a WhatsApp message, Hunter threatened to use his connections to "forever hold a grudge" against Zhao if he did not fulfill certain promises. Zhao has ties to the Chinese government and is the president and CEO of Harvest Fund Management, which paid $5 million to a company of Hunter's. Records from Hunter Biden's laptop suggest there were other potential transactions with Zhao.
Daily Wire: Hunter Biden Threatened Chinese Business Partner For Payment: ‘I Am Sitting Here With My Father’
Newly released testimony from two IRS whistleblowers alleges that Hunter Biden threatened a Chinese business partner for payment by invoking his father.

Forbes: Ludwig von Mises Predicted Bernie Sanders’ Attacks on Amazon 100 Years Ago
Ludwig von Mises predicted Bernie Sanders’ attacks on Amazon in his 1922 book, Socialism. Sanders recently launched an investigation into how Amazon pays its employees, citing underpaid workers and a lack of adherence to safety regulations. However, the number of employees at Amazon and the company’s investment in automation indicate that it prioritizes safety and productivity. The belief that Amazon exploits its workers is not supported by market realities, as the company employs over 1.5 million workers in a low unemployment environment with a great deal of competition for workers.
Breitbart: Hunter Biden's Plea Deal Could Allow Congress to Dig Deeper into Biden Family
Hunter Biden's plea deal for federal tax violation charges could end the DOJ's investigation into the Biden family business, leading to potential congressional investigations. Legal experts speculate that Hunter Biden could be compelled to testify before the House Oversight Committee without the right to invoke the Fifth Amendment. Some lawmakers fear that the plea deal could seal records, but it could also prevent Joe Biden from claiming his son is innocent and allow Congress to look into alleged cover-up attempts by the DOJ.
PJ Media: Whistleblower: Biden Admin Blocked Investigation Into Hunter Biden
An IRS agent accused the Biden administration of blocking Hunter Biden search warrants and possessing evidence of Biden's meetings with Chinese business partners. Whistleblower Gary Shapley claimed that prosecutors twice blocked the search of Hunter Biden's storage locker and Joe Biden's Delaware residence, citing optics and conflicts of interest. Two other whistleblowers accused the Department of Justice of concealing evidence related to tax crimes involving Hunter Biden. After Biden's plea deal for tax fraud and gun crimes, calls for felony charges against him increase.
Fox News: Schiff blasted by GOP opponent for calling censure a badge of honor: 'He's a national disgrace'
Republican California Senate candidate Eric Early calls out Democratic Rep. Adam Schiff's claim that being censured by Congress is a "badge of honor," stating that Schiff is "flailing around and saying one ridiculous thing after another." Schiff was censured in a party line vote for peddling the now-debunked collusion narrative between Russia and former President Trump. Early agrees with the censure, accusing Schiff of being a leader of a soft coup of a president and damaging the presidency and nation greatly. Schiff's office did not comment on the matter.
The Blaze: House committee releases IRS whistleblowers' testimonies detailing alleged efforts by Biden admin to spike Hunter Biden criminal investigation
The House Ways and Means Committee has released whistleblower testimony detailing Hunter Biden's alleged tax crimes, dating back to 2014 and involving unreported income from Ukraine, Romania, and China. The committee claims that Biden received over $8.3 million directly and has provided evidence showing "a world of wealth and influence that no ordinary American would recognize." The IRS whistleblowers also suggest that Biden received preferential and supportive treatment from the Biden Department of Justice, leading to delays and a lack of transparency in the investigation. ( )
Hunter Biden recently struck a plea deal with prosecutors, pleading guilty to two misdemeanor tax charges of failure to pay in 2017 and 2018 and receiving probation and a requirement to pay back taxes owed. The House Ways and Means Committee, however, claims that these charges amount to a "slap on the wrists," given the severity of the alleged tax crimes. The committee further alleges that the Biden administration is providing preferential treatment to the wealthy and well-connected, including the President's son. IRS whistleblowers suggest that there was a campaign of delay, divulge, and deny that allowed Biden's attorneys to remove potentially useful evidence before investigators could access it. ( )
Fox News: Hunter Biden tied to foreign bank shut down for alleged money laundering raises eyebrows
Hunter Biden, son of President Joe Biden and former board member of Ukrainian energy firm Burisma, attempted to set up an account with Maltese bank SataBank, which was later closed due to money laundering concerns. The US Attorney's Office in Delaware had already started investigating Hunter at the time for potential violations of tax and money laundering laws. Emails between Hunter and top Burisma executive Vadym Pozharskyi revealed that they were coordinating to set up the account. The House Oversight and Accountability Committee is currently investigating the Biden family’s overseas business dealings.

The Epoch Times: Supreme Court Rules Against Navajos in Water Dispute
The US Supreme Court has ruled in a 5-4 decision that the US government does not have a duty to help the Navajo Nation access water under a 19th-century treaty. The treaty between the Navajo Nation and the government did not impose such a duty, the court said. The case was brought by the Navajo Nation seeking access to the Colorado River in spite of the opposition of several surrounding states. The reservation spans over 17 million acres and the tribe has over 300,000 enrolled members, around 170,000 of whom live on the Navajo Reservation created by the treaty. Hashtags: ,

Human Events: Pride flags symbolize powerful political interests, not the will
of the American people
The US government's decision to fly the Pride flag on embassies around the world has sparked controversy, with many countries viewing it as a disrespect of their religious views and sovereignty. Critics argue that the government should focus on other issues, such as women's rights, religious freedom, and human trafficking, instead of elevating the LGBTQIA+ community above other minority groups. They also question the power of leftist NGOs, which use tools like the Corporate Equality Index to pressure corporations into sexual identity compliance and obsession. As a result, the US is losing respect and credibility in foreign policy.
The Epoch Times: From Tech Hero to Alleged Spy: Former Samsung Exec Accused of Cloning Factory for China
A former Samsung Electronics executive, once hailed as a national tech hero, is accused of stealing design data from a Samsung semiconductor factory, attempting to build a replica factory in China and leaking trade secrets to foreign countries. South Korean prosecutors charged the defendant under the Industrial Technology Protection Act and Unfair Competition Prevention Act with industrial espionage that dealt with data designated as national core technology.

The Epoch Times: Putin Deploys Nuclear Weapons in Belarus, Breaching Agreement With China
Russian President Putin confirmed the deployment of tactical nuclear weapons to Belarus, calling it a demonstration to the US and free society. The move has angered the US and NATO as it opposes the transfer of nuclear weapons to third countries. The move also invalidates the China-Russia joint statement that “all nuclear powers must not deploy nuclear weapons outside their national territories”. Political analysts say Putin’s tactic is aimed at forcing NATO to limit military aid to Ukraine, but also shows his increasing difficulties on the Ukrainian battlefield. The CCP's attempt to disguise themselves as a war mediator has failed with Putin’s move.
Breitbart: The Squad to Boycott Modi Congress Speech, Pressuring Biden to Condemn India
The far-left "Squad" members Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez have announced they will boycott a speech by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to Congress. The reason for the boycott is Modi's alleged human rights abuses and persecution of religious minorities in India. Despite this, every Indian-American member of Congress, all of whom are Democrats, will attend the speech. The meeting is expected to deepen the relationship between India and America, which is becoming increasingly important due to China's growing belligerence.

The Epoch Times: Government Doesn't Have a Delivery Plan to Decarbonise the Power Sector: Spending Watchdog
The UK government lacks an overarching delivery plan to decarbonize the power sector by 2035, according to a report from the Public Accounts Committee (PAC). The report casts doubt on the government's net-zero plans, warning that it must prove the costs to bill payers and taxpayers and ensure security of supply. The department for energy security and net-zero has not yet set out how it expects the policy will impact energy bill payers and taxpayers. The cost of retrofitting homes for net zero, a lack of interest in borrowing, and local grid delays have all been cited as challenging obstacles to the government's green energy transition.

Daily Wire: ‘Absolutely Appalling’: Jim Caviezel Slams ‘Christian Bigotry’ Happening Around The World
Actor Jim Caviezel criticized the promotion of Pride Month and Christian bigotry around the world in an interview on the "Prophets and Patriots" podcast. He is promoting his new movie "Sound of Freedom," which he says is a "rejection of what they are doing to our Christian culture right now." Caviezel called out Disney and President Joe Biden for promoting Pride rainbows, as well as a move by the Los Angeles Dodgers honoring the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, an LGBT nonprofit that critics say mocks the Catholic faith. "Sound of Freedom," which tells the true story of a federal agent who rescues a girl from sex slavery, will hit theaters on July 4, 2023.

PJ Media: This Must Be a Joke, Right? Anheuser-Busch Just Won the Most Undeserved Award Ever
Anheuser-Busch faced its worst sales drop in years after featuring Dylan Mulvaney, a trans influencer, on Bud Light cans. Despite this, the beer giant won the "Creative Marketer of the Year" award at the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity. Marcel Marcondes, the chief marketing officer, accepted the award but failed to mention the Bud Light controversy. Anheuser-Busch's continued contempt for its customer base has caused sales for Bud Light to continue to fall, even after releasing a new ad that is devoted to making fun of clumsy white men.

The Epoch Times: Traditional Medicine Plant Extracts May Treat Ataxia
A study has found that extracts from plants used by the Kwakwaka’wakw First Nations peoples in their traditional botanical medicine practices could have a potential use in treating ataxia. Ataxia is a movement disorder that presents as an umbrella term defining the loss of both coordination and balance. The research found that extracts of stinging nettle, bladderwrack kelp and Pacific ninebark can correct a type of ataxia causing an abnormal gait and tremors while compounds in the plants, tannic acid and gallic acid, can rescue EA1-linked mutation-carrying ion channel proteins. If further research is successful, traditional botanical medicines may prove useful in treating ataxia and other conditions.

National Review: The Corner: BMI Was Stupid, Not Racist
The American Medical Association has advised doctors to stop using BMI as a measure of healthy weight, due to its racist associations. Many conservatives have criticized this move, but the logic behind it is reasonable. The BMI has always been controversial and flawed, and its use has led to both pseudoscience and harmful judgments. The AMA suggests using other valid measures such as body composition, waist circumference and genetic/metabolic factors instead. This move is long overdue and will restore some sanity to public life.

The Epoch Times: Defamation Case Against New York Times, Taylor Lorenz Moves to Discovery
A defamation lawsuit filed by businesswoman Ariadna Jacob against The New York Times and one of its journalists, Taylor Lorenz, will proceed after a judge rejected the newspaper’s request to dismiss the case. Jacob provided sufficient evidence to survive the motion to dismiss over a claim that she leaked nude photographs made in an article by Lorenz. The photographs in question had already been circulating before Jacob and the influencer, Devion Young, parted ways, according to the lawsuit. Though most of the complaint was thrown out, the judge said that there wasn’t enough evidence to delve further into other challenged statements from the article, so the case will proceed for the defamation claim on the matter.

In Rowin's Facebook post about the attack, he claimed the slurs were "hate-filled", but investigators are treating this a hoax.

The OceanGate Titan submersible is believed to have suffered a “catastrophic loss of the pressure chamber” en route to the wreckage of the Titanic, and was ruled out of emergency oxygen within 96 hours of its disappearance. A debris field has been discovered on the ocean floor near the Titanic, as search-and-rescue teams deployed high-tech buoys, robotic vehicles, surface vessels, and aerial searches to pinpoint the sub’s location before its estimated reserves of oxygen ran out. Experts are continuing to evaluate the information and noises picked up over the past week. The vessel was carrying five explorers, including leading Titanic expert, Paul-Henry Nargeolet, and members of one of Pakistan’s wealthiest families.

Forbes: Is The Drone Industry Ready For Generative AI?
Artificial intelligence startups are focusing on new problem-solving techniques that can impact the connectivity of the aviation industry. New tools driven by maturing technologies are now affecting the data captured by autonomous vehicles, with drone inspections being a prime example. However, the amounts of data being generated by these autonomous systems are enormous, often too large to fully take advantage of, and sometimes the systems cannot handle what is being delivered. The issue is not safety, passion or regulation, but the inability to integrate data in useful ways.
Generative AI is a set of algorithms that learn from training data and generate an output. These new techniques are being explored in aviation, with the recent emergence of companies like Danti. It is a market's first Earth data search engine that enables both expert and non-expert users to pose simple questions about physical places on the planet and instantly gain access to information generated by many data capture technologies. By making data usable for the average person or non-expert analyst, we can make better decisions and be informed more quickly and reliably. The implementation of advanced flight controllers and intuitive AI may reduce access costs for meaningful outcomes and reduce dependency on highly skilled technical knowledge to fly.

The Epoch Times: It's the Methane, Stupid: Washington Rhetoric on Climate Misses the Biggest Target
Climate policies in the US face two issues: unrealistic deadlines and top-down fines that focus on CO2 emissions rather than methane capture. Methane is 25 times more potent at trapping heat than carbon dioxide and significant reductions would have a quick impact on atmospheric warming. While the US and other countries have signed agreements to reduce GHG emissions, there is little focus on methane capturing, which can be commercially exploited. Zeolites can be used to convert methane to carbon dioxide, and though there is potential in small-scale technology, government policies prioritise top-down approaches. Methane capture should receive greater priority in climate policies.
