PJ Media: The Big Money Donors Behind the Attacks on Conservative Supreme Court Justices
Liberal billionaire donors are behind a campaign to tarnish the reputations of conservative Supreme Court Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas and delegitimize their decisions. The left lacks actual proof of wrongdoing and instead is using smears and insinuations of ethics violations. The left-wing website ProPublica is behind the attacks and is primarily funded by the Sandler Foundation, which has given nearly $40 million to the organization since 2010. The Sandler Foundation has a history of ethics problems and has also given money to a "dark money" court packing group that spearheaded smear campaigns against Justices Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, and Barrett. The tactics of the left are a textbook example of their favorite tactic - the pop-up pressure campaign. ProPublica claims independence, but a huge portion of their funding comes from a few Democratic billionaire donors who support their far-left agenda.
Breitbart: Tolerance: California Democrats Walk Out as Richard Grenell Honored by Republicans for Pride Month
California Democrats walked out of a State Senate ceremony honoring Richard Grenell, the first openly gay member of a presidential cabinet and former U.S. Ambassador, initiated by Republicans for Pride month. Democrats walked out, including State Senate President pro Tem Tori Atkins and State Sen. Scott Wiener, the author of California’s most controversial legislation on LGBT issues. Grenell criticized German policy for their reluctance to honor funding commitments to NATO, confront Iranian terror, and end their dependence on Russian gas for energy supply. The Los Angeles Times reported that Wiener called Grenell a self-hating gay man and criticized the diplomat for taking anti-LGBTQ positions, further calling him a particularly vile person.

Breitbart: Poll: Kamala Harris Plunges to Record Low for VP Net Favorability
Vice President Kamala Harris is the most unpopular VP in history, according to an NBC News poll. The poll shows 49% of registered voters have a negative view of her, compared to 32% in the positive. White House officials are working with Harris to repair her image and allay fears that she is a liability to Democratic hopes to retain power. The polling news comes in the wake of the April announcement President Joe Biden will run for re-election. Meanwhile, the vast majority of voters feel Harris is stumbling eagerly from one disappointment to the next.
Fox News: Fox News Power Rankings: Previewing 2024 battleground states, key congressional races
The 2024 presidential election is shaping up to be a rematch between President Biden and former President Trump. Biden's economy has delivered low unemployment but decades-high inflation, and most economists are pessimistic about the year ahead while Trump has been indicted for allegedly keeping classified documents and obstructing attempts to recover them. Biden must hold onto his base and convince moderates and independents to stick with him while Trump needs depressed turnout among those groups and a fired-up Republican base. The election will likely come down to five fiercely competitive states that Biden won on a margin of less than one point in 2020 and the three states Trump won that Democratic Senators are trying to defend.
Fox News: Biden repeatedly denied discussing business deals with Hunter, but evidence suggests otherwise

Breitbart: Hunter Biden Whistleblower's Legal Team Releases Names of Other Alleged Witnesses
IRS Agent Gary Shapley's legal team released a letter revealing the names of six witnesses who also heard U.S. Attorney for Delaware David Weiss say he didn't have the authority to charge in other districts and had requested special counsel status. In a transcript of whistleblower interviews, Shapley alleged that he was told by Weiss that the DC US Attorney would not allow him to charge tax violations, resulting in Weiss seeking special counsel authority from the DOJ to charge in the DC district. The purposeful exclusion of the 2014 and 2015 years sanitized the most substantive criminal conduct and concealed material facts. McCarthy tweeted that if Shapley's allegations were true, they would be a "significant part" of a larger impeachment inquiry into Garland.

The article also questions the accuracy of casualty figures and the accountability of aid sent to Ukraine.

Newsbusters: China’s Economy and America’s Opportunity
The US needs to slow and stop China's plans for world domination by weaning itself off Chinese products, starting with prescription drugs. America's trade deficit with China is a whopping $355.3 billion, and China is America's greatest adversary and growing enemy. Economic statecraft ought to be the number one objective to mitigate China's threats to US and democratic values, US economic and security interests, but instead of making tough financial decisions, politicians want to keep as much of the money and knowledge flowing between China and the US for as long as possible, while simultaneously drawing up war plans for Taiwan .

Flag And Cross: Palestinians Undermine US Interests In The Middle East
Biden's support for the Palestinians contradicts U.S. interests, as Palestinians forge ties with America's enemies and continue their efforts to destroy Israel. Despite Biden's support, the Palestinian Authority is losing control to terrorist groups tied to Hamas and Iran. Palestinians are also forging an alliance with China, a U.S. rival in the Middle East. The U.S. needs to insist on concrete steps towards peace with Israel.

The Federalist Papers: Disney Is 'Bleeding Out' Big Time: Financial Analyst Says Company Lost $900 Million in Past Year
Disney has lost nearly $1 billion with eight movies from June 2022 to June 2023, costing $2.75 billion to produce and market but only bringing in $1.86 billion. The House of Mouse has also faced challenges and controversies in 2022 and 2023, which have contributed to financial problems and instability within the company, including a loss of 2.4 million subscribers on Disney+ and significant layoffs.
Disney's remake of "The Little Mermaid" performed abysmally in China, as the country had an issue with the black actress playing the iconic red-haired Ariel. "Lightyear," the latest "Toy Story" movie, controversially replaced Tim Allen with liberal activist Chris Evans for the character of Buzz Lightyear and included a same-sex kiss and criticism related to parental rights laws. "Strange World," featuring an openly gay teenage character, also bombed at the box office, as did "Elemental," which tells the story of a "fire" immigrant who falls in love with a water being and has a nonbinary sister named Lake.
