The Epoch Times: House GOP Lawmakers Introduce Resolutions to Expunge Trump Impeachment Votes
Reps. Stefanik and Greene introduced resolutions seeking to expunge former President Trump's first and second impeachments, claiming they were unconstitutional. Under the resolutions, the charges against Trump would be removed from his record as if they never happened. Greene's resolution would expunge the 2019 impeachment of Trump, citing a recently revealed FBI informant document that alleged President Biden was involved in a "$5 million bribery scheme with a foreign national." Stefanik's resolution would scrap the second impeachment charges against Trump for incitement of insurrection following the Jan. 6 breach of the U.S. Capitol. Both congresswomen claimed the impeachments were politically motivated and lacked legislative process and factual evidence.
Fox News: ABC, CBS evening news broadcasts skip whistleblower claim of Hunter Biden ‘preferential treatment’
Two IRS whistleblowers claim that government officials interfered with the Hunter Biden investigation, but ABC's "World News Tonight" and "CBS Evening News" did not cover the story. House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Rep. Jason Smith, R-Mo., alleged that Biden's justice department intervened in the investigation of his son's alleged tax crimes, a claim that the Department of Justice denies. "NBC Nightly News" was the only network to report the whistleblower's claims, including that Hunter Biden received "preferential treatment" and messages that appeared to indicate political influence over business deals with China.
American Thinker: Tucker Carlson says the quiet part out loud about RFK, Jr.
RFK Jr. is a real threat to the Democratic establishment and is being demonized in the press. He challenges them in a way they're not used to and has growing support among Democrats who are discontented with their failed leadership. The medical establishment's discredited response to COVID has opened the gate for Kennedy, who questions their stance and is gaining respect for his curiosity and willingness to pursue real science. Kennedy appeals to the political middle, traditional liberal positions, and disenchanted conservatives, highlighting the corrupt incompetence of the current Democrats. Carlson confirms that Kennedy is winning and the left hates him for it.

The Epoch Times: Troubles Amnesty Expected to Become Law Next Month
Controversial legislation to grant prosecution amnesty for those who committed conflict-related crimes in Northern Ireland is expected to become law next month, despite strong opposition from victims groups, human rights experts, and all political parties in Northern Ireland. The Northern Ireland Troubles (Legacy and Reconciliation) Bill provides immunity for people accused of crimes during the Troubles as long as they cooperate with a new truth recovery body. Additionally, the bill, currently going through the House of Lords, would halt future civil cases and inquests linked to killings during the conflict, prompting Ireland premier Leo Varadkar to threaten an interstate legal case against the UK and Sinn Fein President Mary Lou McDonald to say it would "definitively shut the door" on families' efforts to achieve truth and justice.

The Epoch Times: Food and Beverage Sector Faces Highest Risks of Insolvency: Warns CreditWatch
Australia's food and beverage sector could see more businesses fail in the year ahead, according to CreditorWatch, which warns of grim business conditions amid a mounting cost of living, despite the sector being resilient. Defaults on trade payments between businesses have surged by 31% in the year to May, led by the Food and Beverage sector, which the agency said faced the highest risk of failure over the next 12 months, due to challenging conditions as supply and labour costs remain high, and customers tighten their belts. CreditWatch expects more job cuts and higher insolvency levels as economic conditions decline further due to interest rate hikes and soaring unemployment rates.
According to Suresh Manickam, the CEO of the Restaurant and Catering Industry Association of Australia, while the food industry is resilient, governments are needed to help tackle the incoming challenges as rising costs and skill shortages are standing as two major pressure points for the industry. Skill shortage remains the major issue since the pandemic, with 83% of respondents "experiencing some form of difficulty in hiring new staff and 54% finding it more difficult compared to the previous financial year." Manickam requests immediate action from all levels of government as electricity prices are predicted to rise as much as 29% for small businesses, and energy subsidies are needed to overcome the cost of supplies, wages, rent and energy.
Forbes: Loss-Making McLaren Loses Backing Of Saudi Sovereign Wealth Fund
Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund (PIF) has sold its shares in luxury car manufacturer McLaren to Bahrain's Mumtalakat Holding Company, a longtime supporter of the British company. PIF and alternative investment manager Ares Management acquired their shares in July 2021 as part of a £550m funding round but have now divested them. Mumtalakat bought out the shares owned by Ares and PIF, although it is unclear what price was paid. The latter said that meetings with Bahraini officials were aimed at enhancing "economic and investment cooperation and integration between the two countries."
Mumtalakat has supported McLaren financially before, most notably in 2021 when it bought £150m in convertible preference shares alongside other investors, allowing the car maker to repay a year-long loan from the National Bank of Bahrain. The sovereign wealth fund has subsequently provided additional funding of £224m in two tranches, with the car maker facing financial pressures in recent years. McLaren has raised at least £120m in 2022 as part of its recapitalisation process, with £70m announced in March and £50m revealed in May. The car maker did not reveal the names of the investors on either occasion.
The Epoch Times: IN-DEPTH: China’s Economy Is Faltering
China's official youth unemployment rate remains high, at 20.8% in May and 20.4% in April, compared to the overall unemployment rate of 5.2%, according to data from Goldman Sachs. There is concern over the true rate of youth joblessness in China, amid claims that it could be as high as 80%. China's youth unemployment rate had reached the same level as now at the end of 2018 and then rose to 6.2% during the pandemic, however, it has since grown again, due in part to the current government strategy of boosting manufacturing and mining industries. Increasing demand for labour and adoption of a market-based economy are seen as two potential solutions to these 15-year-old problems.

The bar's charming atmosphere and great music draw in locals who are more interested in good conversation and drinks than in flashy displays of wealth.

National Review: Pence Lays Down the Gauntlet on Abortion, Challenges 2024 Field to Support National Restrictions
Mike Pence is bucking convention by supporting a national abortion ban and advocating for the right to life. While other GOP candidates like Donald Trump and Nikki Haley have either remained silent or qualified their stance on a national abortion limit, Pence has proudly embraced a 15-week limit. He argues that pro-life voters across the country are looking for candidates to “stand unambiguously" for the cause of the right to life at every level, and that the party must remain committed to conservative principles. Pence believes Republicans can win with compassionate policies such as crisis pregnancy centers and affordable adoption, and that Democrats are extreme on abortion. He will address a nationwide Susan B. Anthony List call and speak at the Students for Life rally.
