American Thinker: Dr. King still right about race and character
A judge in Texas ruled that the Biden administration cannot practice racial preferences in government programs, dealing a major blow to their equity agenda. The ruling came in response to a lawsuit challenging the Minority Business Development Agency, which was designed to help preferred racial groups. The judge reminded the administration that the Constitution demands equal treatment, and his decision prevents any discrimination based on race in government programs.

The Epoch Times: Indigenous Minister Says Changing Constitution Is Not About a 'Culture War'
Australia's Indigenous Minister Linda Burney has dismissed claims that the adoption of an Indigenous advisory body to the country's parliament will present far-reaching problems for the general populace. Burney attempted to quell concerns by emphasising that the representative body would provide "representations" that are specific to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders only and would not have the capacity to veto or deliver funding or programmes. The matter will be put to a national referendum later this year to decide whether to amend Australia's constitution to include indigenous recognition and officially create an advisory body.
American Thinker: Grab Your Wallets: The Reparations Game Is Rigged
The American Public Square hosted a reparations debate that was skewed toward the pro side. Black activists appealed to liberals whose largesse has shattered their communities. During the debate, Pete Mundo and his listeners raised objections that the commissioners and monitor dismissed, but the commission was prepared to do all the thinking for them. Sixty years after the passage of the Civil Rights acts, activists argued that civic leaders in their heavily Democrat city and county were still keen on the "intentional disinvestment" of blacks. For activists, racism cannot be allowed to die.

The Epoch Times: UK Inflation Rate Unchanged at 8.7 Percent in May
UK inflation rate remained at a stubborn 8.7% in May, similar to April levels and against expert forecasts of it falling to 8.4%, according to the Office for National Statistics (ONS). The unexpected inflation rates are expected to put more pressure on the Bank of England to hike interest rates, amidst concerns from mortgage holders as it is already at close to a 15-year high. However, the rise in food prices slowed from 19.1% in April to 18.4% in May, with prices of milk, cheese and eggs easing the most, while fish prices showcasing the only increase, attributed to the rising cost of canned tuna.
American Thinker: Colorado's Balanced Budget Solution
The United States needs a commitment to both price stability and a balanced budget for economic stability. While successful in the 1980s and 1990s, this solution has been abandoned in recent decades. Incorporating fiscal rules in the Constitution, as Switzerland has done, could be a solution. Colorado's Taxpayer Bill of Rights (TABOR) is an example of how effective constitutional fiscal rules can be. Citizens can use constitutional fiscal rules to solve the commitment problem, as demonstrated by TABOR in Colorado. Restoring a balanced budget may take time, but it could set the country on a path toward fiscal sustainability.
Foreign Policy: Biden’s Turn Against Trade Makes It Hard to Win Friends
Biden's new industrial policy risks excluding much of the world and committing past errors by rejecting the previous trade negotiation model that allowed for global inclusivity. While the administration has accomplished historic feats, it struggles to develop a trade policy that addresses both building more resilient global supply chains and luring investment and manufacturing jobs back to the United States. U.S. Trade Representative Katherine Tai's recent critiques of past U.S. trade policies and her suggestion that countries wishing to trade with the United States should adopt higher labor and environmental standards is unpopular with much of the world and may reduce U.S. trade with the developing world.
Forbes: The Loony Conspiracy Theory Threatening Wall Street
A group of hucksters led by a cynical lawyer have conjured an excuse for meme-stock collapses, blaming it on big trading houses that allegedly use a market manipulation tactic known as “naked short-selling”. This fact-challenged mindset has created a community now talking up violence against anyone in their way, undermining Wall Street and attacking regulators. This conspiracy theory has led to litigation and, in extreme cases, physical threats to whistleblowers, reporters and regulators. However, naked short-selling is a myth since it is all but impossible following a 2008 SEC amendment to a rule called Regulation SHO. MORE
National Review: Can We Talk About Economic Growth Again?
Conservatives must recover the fundamentals of economic growth, including the supply-side revolution of the 1970s, to achieve success in elections. Economic freedom should go hand in hand with social conservatism. The supply-side philosophy believes that the electorate is the best judge of its own economic decisions, and that freedom, choices, and work should be rewarded. Economic growth and the policies that enable it are crucial to combating progressive policies and providing remunerative work to all who want it. Tax cuts and regulatory relief are essential for prosperity, and supply-side thinking stresses that anything that reduces the incentives of sellers, laborers, investors, and consumers to participate fully in the economy should be avoided.
Forbes: Temu’s Relentless Push To Woo American Shoppers: Freebies, Spam And Half A Billion In Losses
Chinese shopping app Temu has racked up over 70 million downloads in less than a year with an advertising campaign that incentivizes customers to add new users. The parent company, PDD Holdings, which has 740 million monthly users, quickly became the most-downloaded app in the US after it launched with low prices on goods shipped straight from China. The app focuses on attracting users rather than profit, offering discounts and freebies to customers who invite friends and play games on the app. Temu has become known for its hyper-aggressive advertising on social media and Google Play and iOS app stores.

The Epoch Times: Indigenous adolescents celebrate coming-of-age rite amid Brazil’s eviction of irregular settlers in Amazon
Indigenous Tembé Tenehara adolescents in Brazil’s Amazon rainforest have been taking part in the vital Wyra’whaw rite of passage lasting six days, under a thatched roof. During this time, some were receiving little food and sleeping in hammocks overnight under the hut. Those on the way to adulthood had been through their first period or seen their voices take on lower registers. Girls and boys performing the ritual were viewed as women and men by the Teko-Haw village by its end, and assumed roles in leading the community. Settlers in the area were being removed by state and federal authorities in a bid to protect the Indigenous culture in the area.

National Review: Hartford’s Wadsworth Atheneum Fires a Longtime Employee for Requesting a Definition of ‘Systemic Racism’
A former employee at America’s oldest public museum, the Wadsworth Atheneum in Hartford, is taking the museum to federal court over claims her free speech rights were violated. The complaint filed by Kate Riotte states that she was fired for challenging the museum’s diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) programme, which she claims encourages illegal racial hiring practices. The museum’s DEI programme has resulted in toxic working conditions, Riotte alleges, adding that her termination was an infringement of her rights. The museum is arguing for a cap on punitive damages because Riotte taped the termination meeting, breaking Connecticut’s eavesdropping laws.
