The New American: Charity Event at Trump Golf Course Canceled - The New American
A charity golf event at Trump National Doral Golf Club, set up to benefit low-income individuals and raise money for improving higher education, has been canceled due to the event being held at a Trump golf course, which was unacceptable to progressives. Unfounded hatred of Donald Trump on the left has become so intense that they are willing to harm low-income individuals, who would have benefited from the charity tournament, to better their own political agenda. These left-wing bullies are increasingly using bullying tactics to get their way on a wide range of issues, including influencing corporations to support their agenda, even at the cost of reduced profits for shareholders.
National Review: Will the Biden Campaign Regret Telling Pro-Life Voters to Drop Dead in 2024?
President Biden plans to focus heavily on abortion as a central issue in his run for re-election in 2024. Democrats believe the issue is a winner for them, but this may be overstating how much it helped them in 2022. In fact, Republicans in battleground states such as Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Nevada cumulatively won more votes than their Democratic opponents in 2022. This suggests that the Biden campaign may be overreaching and taking pro-life voters for granted in 2024. However, it's hard to predict the impact any given issue will have on voters, and if a lesser-known GOP contender emerges as the 2024 nominee, abortion could potentially have more salience.
Forbes: Delaware Candidate Runs To Be First Transgender Member Of Congress
Sarah McBride, a transgender Democratic state senator, has announced her run for Delaware's only U.S. House seat, aiming to become the first transgender person elected to Congress amid escalating restrictions on transgender rights and healthcare by GOP lawmakers. McBride's campaign comes after more than a dozen states have passed bills restricting access to gender-affirming care and limiting discussion about sexual orientation and gender identity in schools. McBride's priorities include healthcare access, criminal justice system reform, and building a green economy.
Fox News: 'The View' co-host argues Hunter Biden shouldn't have attended state dinner: 'Sit this one out'
Sara Haines of "The View" criticized Hunter Biden for attending a state dinner despite being charged with federal misdemeanors for tax evasion and a felony for drug possession. She argued that it was inappropriate for him to attend while his father, President Biden, is trying to campaign and that he should have "sat it out." Co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin agreed and said that the "optics" were bad for the president. Other hosts defended Biden's attendance and praised the plea agreement as proof that "no one is above the law."
Fox News: Fauci lands new 'distinguished' gig to oversee infectious disease research at Georgetown Medical School
Former NIAID director Dr. Anthony Fauci has accepted a position as a distinguished university professor at Georgetown University School of Medicine, where he will work in the Department of Medicine's Division of Infectious Diseases and the McCourt School of Public Policy. This move has garnered both praise and criticism given Dr. Fauci's handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, including his downplaying questions on the virus's origins and advocacy for gain-of-function research.
Republican Senators like James Lankford and Tom Cotton have expressed concern over Fauci's leadership during COVID-19 and the origins of the virus itself. The National Institutes of Health funded gain-of-function research in Wuhan, China, believed to be ground zero for COVID-19. Nevertheless, Georgetown University President John J. DeGioia and Dean of the McCourt School of Public Policy Maria Cancian welcome Fauci and his expertise, citing his long-standing commitment to guiding the next generation of leaders to meet the pressing issues of our time.
Red State: Joe Biden Doubles Down on Key Hunter Biden Claim, Knee-Caps Joe Manchin and Kamala Harris at White House Speech
President Joe Biden doubled down on his denial of ever having spoken to his son about his various foreign business entanglements, putting his lawyers in a difficult position. However, evidence suggests that the President had to have spoken to his son about his business dealings, leaving many in confusion about his honesty. Meanwhile, in a speech, Biden praised Kamala Harris at a time when a recent poll has revealed that she is the most unpopular vice president in the history of NBC News' polling. Biden also greeted Senator Joe Manchin, leaving himself vulnerable to criticism in West Virginia where Manchin played a sucker for the Inflation Reduction Act .
PJ Media: More Evidence Against Hunter Biden Is Coming
Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.) revealed during a NewsmaxTV interview that he has further evidence on Hunter Biden and will make it public soon.

Comer accused Garland of destroying the reputation of the Justice cabinet and said that more evidence is coming, including bank records from more countries. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy suggested that House GOP could initiate an impeachment inquiry against Attorney General Garland if the allegations against him are confirmed.

The Federalist Papers: Biden's Got a Big Problem in Early Primary State: Line For RFK Has Democrats Running Scared
President Joe Biden’s decision to move the first primary to South Carolina may have inadvertently handed the New Hampshire primary to Robert F. Kennedy Jr., whose anti-vaccine stance has led to serious support, much to the chagrin of establishment media. Biden’s opponent’s stance on vaccines could lead to difficulty in Biden delivering the message of vaccine mandate to the public. Furthermore, New Hampshire Democrats are unwilling to give away their first-in-the-nation status, according to The Hill. “Should that happen, Biden allies have indicated the president likely won’t participate, leaving an opening for a candidate like Kennedy to win.”

The American Spectator: California State Senator Urges Families to Flee the State
California state Sen. Scott Wiener endangers minors and takes away parental rights with two bills that concern the rights of parents in relation to their children's sexual identity. AB 665 and 957 affect the confidentiality between underage and mental health professionals, and the right of children to be placed in government-sponsored residential programs instead of with their parents, causing fears of "state-sanctioned kidnapping" and "child abuse" for parents who do not affirm their child's gender identity. Republican Sen. Scott Wilk warns that "LGBTQ activists are coming for your children," advising parents to flee, as these bills strip away their rights and endanger their children.
Red State: CNN 'Dunk on Rich Dead OceanGate Guys' Panel Shut Down by Guest Who Set Record Straight
Criticism surrounding the deaths of five passengers on the OceanGate Titan submarine has devolved into "dunking on the rich dead guys," says a RedState contributor. While criticism of the vessel's short voyage is understandable, some have taken perverse pleasure in the fact that the doomed vessel's passengers were wealthy thrill-seekers. There have been claims that the CEO of OceanGate, Stockton Rush, cut corners in relation to safety in order to undertake the undersea trip, as well as criticism about his comments that stated he wanted a younger, more inspiring team of staff to work for the company. The CNN's "This Morning" panel was also criticized for emphasizing the wealth of those who lost their lives, causing CNN's Anderson Cooper's guest, US construction developer Alfred Hagen, to lament that risk-takers have always driven humanity forward.

Foreign Policy: Wagner’s Revolt May Weaken Russia’s Draft
Russia's twice-yearly conscription campaign to assess and assign military service has been updated to electronic summonses. Young men try to avoid conscription through graduate studies, disabilities, or other means. The Armed Forces claim that conscripts are reporting to their units and that they will not send them to fight in Ukraine. However, the recent revolt by the paramilitary Wagner Group has shown that even Russians under arms can defy the military's senior leaders without punishment, thereby making many Russians worried about the brutality and corruption within the Russian military. The loss of Wagner soldiers may leave Russia with shortages of manpower, causing the military to rely on conscript forces, but many young men may ignore call-up orders since the rebellion challenged Putin as a weak leader. The looming dearth of soldiers poses an urgent problem for the military, which relies on conscripts and tries to incentivize them to stay on as contract soldiers. The Ministry of Defence hoped to incorporate Wagner soldiers into its ranks, but it will only be a temporary boost since Pekka Toveri, a member of the Finnish Parliament, states that many more conscripts will ignore their call-up orders, leaving the Russian military with the challenge of making conscripts feel respected and valued.
Foreign Policy: Why Kornilov’s Ghost Haunts Putin
Russian President Putin warns against mutiny and civil war reminiscent of the 1917 Kornilov Affair, as Wagner Group troops march toward Moscow. The rebellion by Yevgeny Prigozhin, founder of the Wagner Private Military Company, against Putin reveals growing public discontent with the Russia-Ukraine war and corruption in the ruling elite. Prigozhin's social media rant on the need for a peaceful solution to the conflict calls into question Putin's record of statesmanship and raises the possibility of a coup by stealth. Prigozhin's fate remains unpredictable, but Putin's long political supremacy is now in question, as Russia faces the specter of instability and chaos.

Flag And Cross: Peace With Saudi Arabia Would End Arab-Israeli Conflict
Israeli people are desperate for peace, and want Saudi Arabia to normalize relations with their country, which would end the Arab-Israeli conflict. However, they need assistance from the U.S. to achieve this peace. The Saudis have become increasingly flexible on the issue of Palestinian statehood, which they previously considered a non-negotiable precondition for peace. The U.S. should put sentiments on the Palestinian issue aside to achieve a major peace agreement that will reframe a long-standing conflict and change the region for the better.
Fox News: New Zealand prime minister gets backup plane during China trip as current plane is prone to breakdowns
New Zealand officials sent a backup plane to China to prevent Prime Minister Chris Hipkins from getting stranded due to mechanical issues on his regular aircraft. The aging Boeing 757 called Betty is frequently prone to breakdowns, and Hipkins is leading a trade delegation during his visit to China. Though the twin aircraft was sent only as far as Manila in the Philippines - about 80% of the distance between Wellington and Beijing - acting Prime Minister Carmel Sepuloni said the expensive measure was necessary to prevent a situation where officials could not organize transport back to New Zealand for those stranded in China.
National Review: Wagner Group Leader Says ‘It Was Never Our Goal’ to Overthrown Putin in First Statement Since Armed Rebellion

After a last-minute brokered deal between Putin and Prigozhin, the group turned their columns around to return to field camps. President Biden confirms the US and NATO had no involvement in the conflict and will continue to support Ukraine's defense and sovereignty.

Fox News: Panama Canal postpones depth restrictions after rain provides relief to the region
Depth restrictions on ships crossing the Panama Canal will be postponed due to much-needed rain, which will provide relief to the maritime passage. Trade at one of the world's busiest commercial crossings will not be impacted as the new measures have been delayed.
The Panama Canal authority has decided to allow ships to continue sailing at their previous depth limit of 13.41 m as a series of measures were scheduled to go into effect on June 25 and July 9 requiring ships to float at higher depths. Rains are expected to provide the relief needed to the strained maritime passage and depth restrictions will be postponed until a future date which is yet to be specified.

Breitbart: Pope Francis Welcomes ‘Piss Christ’ Artist in Vatican
Pope Francis welcomes 200 avant-garde artists to the Sistine Chapel, including Andres Serrano, creator of controversial “Piss Christ.” The pope told the artists to "reject the allure of that artificial, skin-deep beauty so popular today and often complicit with economic mechanisms that generate inequality." Australian Archbishop George Pell sought an injunction in 1997 to prevent the National Gallery of Victoria from displaying the work. Other controversial artist invited to the event include Abel Ferrara, who directed the recent Padre Pio film, and the controversial 1976 pornographic film "Nine Lives of a Wet Pussy."

Fox News: Report suggests people with disabilities are disproportionately affected by extreme heat
Heat extremes disproportionately affect people with disabilities in Spain and other parts of Europe, putting them at risk of death and several health problems. Human Rights Watch (HRW) urged authorities to provide support as people with disabilities face social isolation and physical, social and mental distress during heatwaves. Inaccessible urban areas exacerbate the issue and a lack of representation in the development of emergency plans for heatwaves silences the voice of people with disabilities. HRW interviewed 33 people in Andalusia who claimed to have been neglected during the heatwaves last summer, causing the authorities to commit to prioritizing the issue of neglect of this sector of population in the future.
The Epoch Times: Merck Facing Lawsuits for Allegedly Hiding Severe Psychiatric Side Effects of Asthma Drug
Pharmaceutical company Merck is facing lawsuits over its asthma medication Singulair, which allegedly causes neuropsychiatric problems including depression, hallucinations and suicide. Patients who have reported symptoms were not warned about potential side effects, while plaintiffs argue that evidence of the medication's potential impact on the brain existed before launch.

The Blaze: Dr. Jay Bhattacharya names the single biggest mistake of the COVID pandemic
A Stanford professor of medicine and health research policy, Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, believes that the censorship machine silencing qualified individuals from expressing their thinking during the COVID-19 pandemic was the gravest mistake. Dr. Bhattacharya explains that science needs freedom, and the powerful individuals controlling the censor cause problems in decision-making, leading to abysmal outcomes. He laments that science and David and Goliath stories need free speech, but the road to free speech in the scientific world is much easier talked about than walked.

The Epoch Times: Fox News Announces Major Primetime Shakeup Months After Tucker Carlson's Exit
Fox News has announced a new primetime weekday lineup, including moving Jesse Watters to Tucker Carlson's former time slot at 8 p.m. ET. Sean Hannity will remain at his 9 p.m. hour, Laura Ingraham’s show will be moved to 7 p.m., and Greg Gutfeld’s program will start at 10 p.m. Nielsen data show Fox News primetime ratings have dropped after Carlson’s departure, but the channel topped all other cable news channels in May. However, Fox averaged considerably fewer viewers in the 25–54 demographic that advertisers covet.
Lawyers for Fox News have demanded that Tucker Carlson stop his Twitter show, citing his existing contract with the network. Carlson, however, has responded that Fox News is violating his First Amendment right to free speech. As for Carlson's departure, he has not publicly commented on the reason, and one of his Twitter videos criticized his former employer for firing a producer who created a banner calling Joe Biden a "wannabe dictator." Senator Mike Lee (R-Utah) suggested that Fox News could be engaging in a "kind of deliberate alienation of its own audience" that "might not end well for" the channel.
