Forbes: ‘Just Another Hoax’: Trump Brushes Off Leaked Audio Of Him Discussing Classified Iran Docs
Former President Donald Trump dismisses leaked audio of him discussing a "highly confidential, secret" document on a potential U.S. attack on Iran as a "hoax" that exonerates him. In the tape, produced by CNN, papers can be heard rustling in the background as if he was showing the documents to people. Justice Department prosecutors cited the tape in their indictment against Trump on 37 counts related to his handling of classified documents after leaving office, and said it represents one of at least two occasions when he showed confidential documents to people without proper security clearance.

In a letter, the attorney disputed the chairmen's proposals and reiterated Blinken’s public position that he “did not solicit” the statement.
The Epoch Times: Peter Menzies: Intolerance for Contrary Opinions Is Pushing Canada Closer to the Future Orwell Predicted
The Canadian government is seeking complete control over all audio, visual, and online content, with the CRTC having sweeping powers over newsrooms and speech criminalization under consideration. The Online Streaming Act and Online News Act are part of this totalitarian shift, and the criminalization of denying Canada's troubled history of the Indian Residential Schools is being pondered. This thinking is indicative of a shift to controlling thought, with anyone holding different views being silenced or punished. Justin Trudeau's government has an alarming command and control instinct, and its measures pose a threat to freedom of speech and liberal democracy.
The New American: Convention of States: Misreading the Constitution or Misleading the People? - The New American
The Convention of States (COS) is wrong to claim that "the American people" can rein in the federal government via Article V. This is because Article V grants to Congress a significant role in the amendments process and the people are not mentioned. Instead, the people can use nullification, or interposition, as the surest and safest way to restore the states to their rightful role. Nullification is quicker and explicitly supported by the 10th Amendment. The people have much greater influence over the election of their state lawmakers than those in D.C. Furthermore, there is no necessary delay in interpretation and initiation as there would be with a call for an Article V Convention, and there is no need to run the risk inherent in a convention of states where the representatives may or may not have the virtue, wisdom, foresight, and devotion to liberty as those who wrote the Constitution in 1787.
Daily Wire: DeSantis And Trump Take Different Positions Over Whether House Should Impeach AG Merrick Garland

The Epoch Times: FEC Commissioner Says 'Content Moderation' Needed to Prevent AI-Generated Election Misinformation
FEC Commissioner Ellen Weintraub is calling for tech giants to control their content to stop disinformation campaigns that exploit AI technology. Weintraub believes tech companies created an AI "monster," that will be difficult to control. She suggests these companies should adopt stricter content moderation policies to prevent the spread of any fake news surrounding the election period. Governments worldwide are struggling to balance individual liberty and the threat posed by fake or misleading information. Recently, the US has been probing multiple allegations of unconstitutional behavior, including the use of content moderation policies as a tool for censors and surveillance.

Daily Wire: Franklin Pierce: A Torn President in a Torn Country
Franklin Pierce's presidency destabilized the peace between the North and South due to his support for protecting slavery. After graduating from college in 1824, he quickly began his political career and became the youngest member of the Senate in 1837. Pierce's controversial stance on slavery earned him support from Southern colleagues and propelled him to national prominence as the 14th president. In office, he shepherded the Kansas-Nebraska Act, which led to violence between pro- and anti-slavery factions and further divided the country.
The New American: Michigan LGBT-enabling Hate Crime Bill Would Criminalize Speech Based on FEELINGS - The New American
A Michigan House bill would amend the state’s Ethnic Intimidation Act of 1988 to make it easier for prosecutors to bring "hate crime" charges against dissident speech. The bill would consider it a hate crime if a person is accused of causing “severe mental anguish” to another individual by means of perceived verbal intimidation or harassment. Terms like “intimidate and harass” can be redefined by whoever is in power and make a mockery of law. The bill tramples the First Amendment while catering to groups with a strong tendency to exaggerate the criticism they face. It may be a feature and not a bug as nothing "threatens a ruling class like free speech."
Leftist legislators focus on feelings because they themselves are emotion-driven. Thus, they wouldn’t need a well-calculated agenda to enact a de facto hate-speech law. To combat violence, you stiffen penalties for violence, an act. It shouldn't be hard to resist lectures about speech's "dangerousness" from people who believe in revolving-door justice for smash-and-grab criminals. Conservatives should not seek the expansion of hate-crime law but its rescission with the valid rallying cry that it represents Big Brother thought control. Accepting the criminalization of adults' speech in any context brings us closer to the criminalization of it in every context.

The Epoch Times: Male and Female are Naturally a Perfect Match
The transgender industrial complex (TIC) aims to subvert natural gender and language, but traditional male-female relationships are the foundation of society. Healthy families are necessary for children to grow and flourish, while the TIC leads to perdition, with greed and power taking precedence over the long-term wellbeing of minors. The TIC withholds crucial information about the effects of gender transitioning, but people are fighting back against its devious agenda and taking proactive measures to protect the nation's children.
Fox News: Prince Christian of Denmark declines royal pension he was expected to receive on 18th birthday
Prince Christian of Denmark will delay accepting his royal pension from the government, focusing on completing his education instead until he turns 21. The 17-year-old prince, second in line to the Danish throne behind his father Frederik, Crown Prince of Denmark, will only accept the funding entitled to him if there is a change of throne or once he is 21. The decision was announced by the Danish Royal House, which added that it was agreed that the prince's main priority should be to finish his studies.
The Queen of Denmark's grandson, Prince Christian, who will be 18 in October, will focus on his studies until he is at least 21 and forgo his royal pension. Christian's grandmother is Margrethe II, who has been on Denmark’s throne for over 50 years.

The Epoch Times: Why We Should Not Be Diverted by the Wagner Comic Opera
The recent mutiny of Russia's Wagner Group contractors in Ukraine was over money and the end of their lucrative contract, causing them to lose their quasi-independent status and integrate into the formal military or separate units controlled by the Ministry of Defense. This event was no strategic threat to Putin's presidency or the Russian Armed Forces, unlike historical military mutinies, such as the French troops' mutiny in 1917 or India's Sepoy Mutiny of 1857-59. The Russian Armed Forces will likely focus on streamlining operations in Ukraine and undertake a renewed military push, with a potential spotlight on the performance of Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu.

National Review: Republicans Urge Blinken to End Science and Technology Cooperation with China

The agreement is set to expire this year and was originally signed by President Jimmy Carter. The group of Republican representatives cited examples of Chinese collaboration with the U.S. that may have been used to subvert American sovereignty. They argue that the U.S. should end the agreement and not fuel its own destruction.

Temporary foreign workers with valid work permits but no study permits can also enroll in education programs without limits on study programs’ length.

The Epoch Times: Federal Agency Reveals How Massive the COVID Fraud Actually Is
COVID-19 relief programs, including the Paycheck Protection Program and COVID-19 Economic Injury Disaster Loan, were found to have potentially been defrauded to the tune of tens of billions of dollars, according to a watchdog's report. About 17% of funds distributed through these programs may have been obtained by criminals or through fraudulent applications, with the fraud estimate for the Loan program being over $136 billion and $64 billion for Paycheck Protection. Although more than 1,000 indictments, 800 arrests, and 500 convictions have been made, only $30 billion has been returned out of the stolen funds.
The Epoch Times: Monetary Restraint and Stock Prices: The Disconnect
Recent changes in monetary policy by the Federal Reserve have led to a disconnect between money and stock prices. While fixed-income markets have responded normally to the shift in policy, stock prices have been abnormal, with investors seemingly anticipating a rapid decline in inflation and the end of monetary restraint. This unusual development suggests cautionary warnings for investors, as assumptions about future strong gains and declining inflation may be unfounded. The main impact of monetary restraint is yet to be felt, and tax receipts to the Treasury indicate the economy may be weaker than it appears. Investors should consider a defensive position towards stocks.
Flag And Cross: Watch: Portnoy Goes on Epic Rant Against 'Pink-Haired, Crazy Liberal' for NYC's Absurd Pizza Law
The New York City Department of Environmental Protection has proposed new rules that would force owners of pizzerias with coal- and wood-fired ovens to buy expensive emission-control devices. Founder of Barstool Sports, Dave Portnoy, criticized the “little liberal arts, Ivy League, pink-haired, crazy liberal” and tweeted an updated version of Patrick Henry’s cry: “Give us pizza or give us death!” Another Twitter user, Scott LoBaido, protested the new rules by throwing pizza over the gate of New York’s city hall. A clip of LoBaido’s protest appeared in Portnoy’s video.
The Epoch Times: China’s Reach for More Economic Stimulus Amounts to a Confession of Failure
Beijing is admitting failure in its "zero-COVID" campaign's economic policies, as recent stimulus packages suggest. Despite setting a low 5 percent growth target for 2023, the COVID-19 lockdowns and quarantines' lift led to consumer spending, although economic weaknesses remained and have only grown more prominent after the previous policies had failed. The country has had to roll out a new stimulus package and cut benchmark interest rates to encourage investment by private businesses and increase borrowing and lending among consumers. In addition, Beijing must rely on central government financing to fund new infrastructure spending, revealing its success chances to fall short of the 5 percent real growth target for 2023.

The Epoch Times: Trump Aide Walt Nauta's Arraignment Postponed
Former President Donald Trump's valet, Walt Nauta's arraignment, has been postponed due to unexpected travel disruptions. Nauta, accused of conspiring with Trump to hide classified documents, is requesting an extension to retain a Florida lawyer for the case. Trump faces 37 felony charges, while Nauta faces six felony counts.
Trump alleges that prosecutors tried to bribe and intimidate Nauta's lawyer into flipping on him. A letter issued by Rep. Jim Jordan questions the legality of the FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago, where federal authorities found classified documents. D'Antuono, a former assistant director at the FBI's Washington Field Office, testified to a GOP-led House subcommittee about "abnormalities" in the FBI's raid, although the FBI declined to comment when asked about the claims.

Fox News: Meghan Markle called not a 'great' talent by top Hollywood agency CEO after Spotify deal's abrupt end
United Talent Agency CEO Jeremy Zimmer criticized Meghan Markle's talent, or lack thereof, during an interview following the cancelation of her podcast "Archetypes" on Spotify.

Foreign Policy: Global Deforestation Accelerated in 2022
World Brief reports on a bleak future for global deforestation after a report from the World Resources Institute in conjunction with the University of Maryland showed the destruction of more than 10 million acres of forest in 2022, producing 2.7 gigatons of carbon dioxide. International efforts to achieve zero deforestation by 2030, a pledge made by 145 nations at COP26, are already facing monumental challenges, given the lack of financial liberties available to local communities and difficulties in achieving economic opportunity, said Laura González Mantecón, a climate adaptation and reforestation fellow at the U.S. Forest Service. Countries with the highest levels of deforestation in 2022, such as Brazil and the Democratic Republic of Congo, also have high levels of poverty and financial instability.
