Fox News: Hunter Biden's attorney slams IRS whistleblower's 'illegal' release of WhatsApp message to Chinese businessman
Hunter Biden's attorney slams IRS whistleblower's 'illegal' release of WhatsApp message to Chinese businessman
Hunter Biden's attorney denies IRS whistleblower claims that the agency obtained a WhatsApp message from Hunter to a Chinese business partner dated July 30, 2017, claiming that Hunter was with his father and using his name to pressure the partner. The DOJ had conducted a thorough investigation that concluded with Hunter taking responsibility for misdemeanor failure to file tax payments and a firearm charge, which he would be subject to a pretrial diversion agreement.

ABC, CBS Ignore Bombshell Whistleblower Claims Against Hunter Biden
ABC and CBS ignored IRS whistleblowers' claims of Hunter Biden receiving preferential treatment from the DOJ regarding tax-related probes, including evidence that Joe Biden was present during a conversation involving Hunter's request for millions of dollars from a Chinese business partner. This follows a pattern of mainstream media shielding viewers from allegations of Biden family wrongdoing. Recent polling shows that 50% of Americans believe that the national media intends to mislead, misinform, and persuade the public.

National Review: The DeSantis Campaign Could Regret Flirting with Vaccine Skepticism
The DeSantis Campaign Could Regret Flirting with Vaccine Skepticism
DeSantis's rapid-response operation has taken a "kitchen sink approach" in attacking former President Donald Trump from almost every available angle, including criticism of his support for Covid vaccines. This stance may harm DeSantis's campaign as most self-described Republicans have already completed vaccination and received booster shots. The potential consequences of DeSantis's flirtation with vaccine skeptics may become a millstone around his campaign's neck in the general election.

IN-DEPTH: GOP Embraces Ballot Harvesting, but Some Republicans Have Misgivings
As Republicans gear up for the 2024 election cycle, they are realizing that ballot harvesting has become a necessary component to winning. Although every state allows absentee voting, the rules and guidelines in each state vary greatly. As of 2021, 31 states allow voters to authorize someone else to return their ballot on their behalf. Nine states limit the number of ballots an authorized person can return, and four states limit the amount of time before being returned. While some Republicans are excited at the prospect of finally competing with the Democrats, others are concerned that the GOP won't be able to compete with Democrats on this front.

Chris Christie Attacks Republican Governors For Banning Child Sex-Change Procedures
Chris Christie, Republican presidential candidate, criticizes GOP governors who have banned child sex-change procedures, saying the issue should stay between parents and children without government intrusion.

Christie’s comments reject Republican presidential candidate Ron DeSantis and other Republican governors who have signed similar legislation banning sex-change procedures for children.


The Federalist: Hunter Biden Is Above The Law
Hunter Biden Is Above The Law
A House committee has released the transcript of an interview with high-level IRS investigating agent Gary Shapley revealing that both the Obama and Trump Justice Department provided preferential treatment in the investigation of Hunter Biden's business dealings. Shapley's detailed testimony also included evidence of a 2017 text message sent by Hunter Biden to a member of the Chinese Communist Party, which threatened the communist if their transaction was not fulfilled suggesting complicity with his father, US President Joe Biden. Consequently, the claim that "no one is above the law" is contradicted by preferential treatment in the investigation, and it is revealed that people apply the law based on their predispositions.

IRS whistleblower identifies as 'gay man' and 'middle of the road' Democrat: transcript
An IRS whistleblower, who is a self-declared gay, middle-of-the-road Democrat, accused the Biden administration of obstructing an investigation into Hunter Biden's taxes. The whistleblower, along with another, claimed that the Department of Justice showed preferential treatment, slow-walked the investigation, and did nothing to avoid obvious conflicts of interest. Hunter Biden has agreed to plead guilty to a pair of tax-related misdemeanor charges. U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland has denied these allegations.

GOP-led House committee subpoenas messages in attempt to trace COVID origin 'cover-up'
A House committee has requested communication records related to the "Proximal Origin of SARS-CoV-2" academic article, which downplayed theories of COVID-19 originating from a laboratory. Kristian Andersen, a professor at Scripps Research and co-author of the article, has been subpoenaed for Slack messages relating to drafting and publication. The committee stated that email evidence suggests Dr. Anthony Fauci urged the drafting of the article to disprove the lab leak theory. The subpoena also seeks any documents related to the origins of COVID-19, gain-of-function research, and potential pandemic pathogen research.

Chairman of the Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Crisis Rep. Brad Wenstrup called Andersen's role in potentially suppressing the lab leak hypothesis "pivotal" and questioned the co-authors' conflicts of interest in supporting a zoonotic origin of the virus. He emphasized the importance of investigating internal messages for future legislation and accountability. Andersen has until June 30 to produce the documents.

Garland Denies Whistleblower Claims of Interference in Hunter Biden Case
Attorney General Merrick Garland denied allegations that the Department of Justice (DOJ) interfered in an investigation into Hunter Biden's alleged unreported income from foreign sources, made by a whistleblower from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Biden had been recommended for three serious charges by the IRS, but the DOJ reportedly gave him preferential treatment, according to whistleblower Gary Shapley. Shapley's claims suggest that President Joe Biden's DOJ may have given orders not to pursue charges against his son. Garland refuted the allegations and claimed that U.S. Attorney David Weiss had full authority over the investigation.

This IRS Email Corroborates Whistleblower's Claims About Biden DOJ Interference in Hunter Probe
IRS emails reveal that a senior official corroborated a whistleblower's claims that Biden officials interfered in the Hunter Biden tax probe, which contradicts statements made by Attorney General Merrick Garland and others. The emails detail how US attorney David Weiss was not allowed to bring forth charges against Biden in Washington, and that he had requested special counsel status but had been denied by the Justice Department headquarters. The email also revealed that IRS investigators and Weiss's office initially sought felony tax evasion charges against Biden, who has now agreed to a plea deal on two misdemeanor charges.

Silent as the Grave: ABC Ignores Hunter Implicating Joe in China Deal
ABC's Good Morning America failed to report on a whistleblower's WhatsApp messages about Hunter Biden directly implicating President Biden in a business deal with a Chinese associate, while CBS and NBC covered the story. Gary Shapley spoke to congressional investigators in May, alleging that IRS investigators recommended charges for tax evasion, filing a false tax return, and charges for failure to file or pay for several years, all of which could bring hefty fines and up to five years in prison. Additionally, Shapley said there was a 2017 WhatsApp message from Hunter Biden to a Chinese businessman over an outstanding payment stating, "I am sitting here with my father. We would like to understand why the commitment made has not been fulfilled."

German mother and daughter were allegedly attacked by an Afghan migrant Fuwad O. on two attempted murder charges in a jealous rage after Sara rejected his advances, according to a report by Germany's Bild. While the incident can't be generalized to all migrants, it raises concerns about how Western cultures currently treat their women and girls. Woke culture demands men claiming to be women must have access to female-only spaces, while questioning open borders as a racist; a sign of cultural madness.

Law Will Force Social Media Giants to Surrender Deceased Children's Personal Data
The UK government plans to give bereaved parents and coroners access to dead children's online accounts to help identify the cause of death under an amendment to the Online Safety Bill. Companies refusing to provide the data face a year in jail and fines of up to 10% of their global turnover. Inspired by the Bereaved Families for Online Safety group, created after Molly Russell took her own life in 2017 following months of viewing harmful online content, the move comes after an inquest concluded negative online content was a contributing factor in her death. Critics have raised concerns the Bill is a "censor's charter".

FEMA denies additional aid for Georgia county hit by EF-3 tornado
FEMA denies Troup County's request for help to recover from the March storm, which destroyed 25 to 30 homes and damaged at least 100 others. The request submitted through Georgia Emergency Management Agency would have helped to cover damages, debris removal, and overtime pay. Despite the denial, Troup County plans to continue with its recovery efforts.

Troup County Emergency Management Agency director is disappointed with FEMA's decision but assured that the county would do its best to support its citizens. The March 26 tornado damaged several counties in the state, but Georgia did not meet the damage threshold of $19 million, according to FEMA. The county considers local options and community grants to help with the recovery process.

Anti-oil activists drenched in water by angry resident after protest blocks highway in UK town
Just Stop Oil activists blocked a busy highway in Camden, UK, bearing signs reading "New oil = murder" and "for my family". One resident threw a bucket of water at the group from a fourth-floor balcony after the protesters caused traffic disruption. Lewis Brackpool, co-founder of Grit News, has criticised the hypocrisy of protesters being paid by oil companies to fund their movement.

Coors Light Adamant About Promoting Denver Pride Parade Despite Potential Backlash
Coors Light faces potential backlash for sponsoring an upcoming pride event, but the beer maker remains committed to supporting the LGBT community in the long run. Despite Bud Light facing a backlash for a controversial promotion campaign featuring a transgender social influencer, Molson Coors, the parent company of Coors Light, has a long history of sponsoring LGBT causes. Coors Light will be the title sponsor of the Denver Pride Parade, an event that is expected to attract 15,000 marchers. Molson Coors has also supported LGBT+ organizations such as the Human Rights Campaign, National Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce, LGBT Victory Institute, and the National Amateur Gay Athletics Association of America. The Epoch Times has reached out to Molson Coors for comment.

Investment firm BlackRock has a 4.88 percent stake in Molson Coors and is the third-largest investor in the company. The Vanguard Group, the second-biggest investor, owns a 10.63 percent stake. Molson Coors scored 100/100 for LGBT+ policies in the Human Rights Campaign Corporate Equality Index. Meanwhile, Bud Light, owned by Anheuser-Busch, is struggling with declining sales and market capitalization. Coors Light is sticking with its promotion of the Denver Pride Parade, while some towns like Franklin, Tennessee, continue to push back against holding pride events.

Senate Takes Critical Step Towards Permanently Defunding Group Blamed for COVID-19 Origins
The US is cutting off funding for EcoHealth Alliance, which was researching bat coronaviruses at the Wuhan Institute of Virology when the COVID-19 outbreak occurred. Sen. Joni Ernst successfully added three amendments to the 2024 National Defense Authorization Act, which would block the Department of Defense from giving more funding to the group. However, other federal agencies could still finance EcoHealth Alliance. The Senate’s move comes as President Joe Biden missed a congressional deadline to declassify pandemic-related documents. An investigation into the group's actions is also being launched.

Siemens Energy’s stock experienced a significant decline amid fears that up to 30% of Siemens Gamesa's wind turbine fleet could be defective, with multiple components failing which could take years to fix. The faulty parts can impact both new and existing turbines, including bearings and blades, and will cost an estimated $1.09 billion to repair, throwing the company's profit guidance into question. CEO Jochen Eickholt estimates that between 15-30% of its onshore wind turbine fleet is affected, due to faults from several suppliers.

Bipartisan affordable housing measures become Wisconsin law
Democratic Governor Tony Evers has approved a package of bipartisan measures to bolster affordable housing in Wisconsin, with over $500 million set aside by Republicans to pay for the efforts. The measures will establish loan programs for builders and landlords and make it easier for developers to get permits for new residences, with some restrictions on who can challenge permitting decisions and mandates that local governments approve permits for residential housing projects that don't violate local standards. Evers signed five bills into law on Thursday and the Legislature is expected to pass the state budget which includes funding for the housing projects next week.

Republicans controlling the Legislature's budget-writing committee in Wisconsin have set aside $525 million to fund loans for affordable housing projects that improve aging units, expand infrastructure, or convert vacant commercial buildings. This follows Democratic Governor Tony Evers signing five bills to bolster affordable housing initiatives in the state by making it easier for developers to get permits and establish loan programs for builders and landlords. The Legislature is expected to pass the state's budget, which includes funding for the housing projects, next week.

CDC Panel Divided on Recommending RSV Vaccine for All Older Adults 
The U.S. CDC did not recommend the RSV vaccine for all older adults due to limited available data on vaccine efficacy, specifically in individuals over 75 and other high-risk groups. The committee cautioned that the benefit may not consistently outweigh the unknown risk for individuals aged 60 to 64. A substantial minority did not recommend either vaccine based on overall balance of benefits and risks at the population level, considering the uncertain risk of inflammatory neurologic events in contrast to the limited evidence of efficacy in key groups most vulnerable to severe RSV illness and hospitalization .

Atrial Fibrillation Linked To Increased Alzheimer's Risk In Women
Women with atrial fibrillation (Afib) are three times more likely to develop Alzheimer's disease and experience cognitive decline around twice as fast as men with the condition. Healthcare providers often do not diagnose symptoms in women until later stages of the disease, and therefore, do not prescribe anticoagulant medication. According to Dr. Angela Wood, these women may experience clots that go to small blood vessels in their brain, causing them to develop cognitive impairment gradually. Men with the condition are diagnosed and prescribed treatments more quickly and are less likely to experience cognitive decline at the same rate as women.

Former NJ governor Chris Christie disagrees with banning sex changes for minors, saying that parents should be in charge of such important decisions. Instead, he advocates for parental involvement in those transitions. This is Christie's latest shift in his position on the trans issue, as he vetoed a bill that would have made it easier for transgender people to change their gender on their birth certificates in 2015, but then signed two bills in 2017 that allowed transgender youth to participate in sports matching their gender identity. His stance on trans youth is contrary to most Americans, with a recent Harvard-Harris poll showing that 78% of voters believe puberty blockers and surgical interventions for transgender individuals should only be available to adults.

The Epoch Times: Supreme Court Issues Ruling Against Prisoner Given 27 Years for Possessing Gun
Supreme Court Issues Ruling Against Prisoner Given 27 Years for Possessing Gun
The US Supreme Court has ruled that a man’s conviction on gun charges cannot be dismissed, despite a recent ruling. Marcus DeAngelo Jones was given a 27-year prison sentence in violation of a federal law designed to prevent felons from having firearms. Jones argued he should be permitted another chance to have his conviction dismissed. Following the 2019 ruling which stated that prosecutors must prove that individuals charged with violating federal gun laws know they are not permitted to have the weapon, Jones stated that he believed his felony conviction had been dropped when he purchased a gun. The issue in the case is technical, concerning when defendants can make their claims in court. Jones' claim does run to the courts’ jurisdiction, meaning his incarceration poses constitutional concerns. Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson dissented and argued that with other recent limits on appeals imposed by the court, there is no path to ask a federal judge to consider the innocence of potential innocents.

Seven men involved in trafficking illegal immigrants from Albania to work in cannabis factories in the UK have been jailed. The immigrants were transported in special compartments in Romanian lorries. Motorway service stations were used as drop off points where the Albanians would crawl out of the lorry cabs and meet a member of the gang who would take them to their destination. The Albanian immigrants would then pay the gang between £20,000 and £24,000 in cash to travel to the UK. This is the first criminal conviction to underline the problem of illegal Albanian immigrants working in homes and warehouses converted to grow cannabis.

The federal government has approved the final steps for Upside Foods and Good Meat to produce lab-grown meat. Michelin-starred chef Dominique Crenn’s San Francisco restaurant and chef Jose Andres's restaurant in D.C. are expected to add these novel proteins to their menus in the next few weeks. There are concerns over whether lab-grown meat is a distraction from other critical areas like antibiotic resistance or biodiversity efforts.

Chloe Sorvino, Forbes staff writer and author of Raw Deal, is skeptical of lab-grown meat as a concept. Sorvino worries that it may not find mainstream adoption beyond being used as an ingredient. She notes that lab-grown meat hoards funding from other critical areas and may take up too much energy to drive sustainability at scale. However, she will continue to cover new developments. Additionally, Sorvino is concluding the Martha’s Vineyard leg of her book tour where she enjoyed local seafood.
