American Thinker: Playtime’s over: It’s time for the crypto industry to put on a tie
Cryptocurrency companies have played a role in the recent collapses and bankruptcies of four US banks. Interest rate hikes by the Federal Reserve have also contributed to the failures. Crypto's decentralized and independent nature, which once generated its appeal, is now a liability, making the industry's infrastructure vulnerable. To gain respect and withstand future problems, the cryptomarket needs to adopt traditional business practices, including clear reporting, proper treatment of customer assets, and internal leadership.
Crypto's lack of diversification and basic accounting and auditing software make accountability difficult. Its institutions need to embrace good governance principles. The industry should not be hampered by its decentralized spirit. Lawmakers are looking for ways to shield the mainstream economy from crypto's runs and collapse.
American Thinker: The myth of systemic racism
The left is using the isolated incident of police brutality in Minneapolis to push the false narrative of systemic racism in America. However, black authors like Shelby Steele and Thomas Sowell argue that systemic racism is a myth invented by the left to create division and political chaos. Blacks are accorded special privileges in every nook and cranny of our society. The term "systemic racism" has "no meaning," said black economist Thomas Sowell.
Fox News: Woke corporate governance often stems from involved investment firms: Former Anheuser-Busch exec
Investment firms like BlackRock and Vanguard are pressuring companies to adopt certain policies, leading to decisions like the one that caused a nationwide boycott of Bud Light, according to former executive Anson Frericks. These firms, along with State Street, manage approximately $20 trillion in capital, much of which comes from mutual and pension funds. Frericks argued that such pressure is dangerous because it politicizes private corporations and can lead to customer alienation. He urged for citizens to be able to decide matters through free and fair elections and not be instructed on how to live their lives by a small group of asset managers and CEOs.
Frericks used the example of Atlanta to highlight how corporations are acting out of step with public sentiment when it comes to politics. He criticized BlackRock, Coca-Cola, and Delta Airlines for speaking out against Georgia's election integrity law. According to him, the intrusion of corporations into electoral politics is a risk to democracy because citizens should be able to decide what they want without a small group of asset managers and CEOs pressuring them. Frericks left his position as an executive in part because of the way much of corporate America is acting nowadays.
American Thinker: What do you do when the LGBT coercion gets personal?
The pressure to publicly support the 2SLGBTQIA+ community is similar to Thomas More's refusal to proclaim the legitimacy of King Henry VIII's marriage to Anne Boleyn. Silence is no longer acceptable in modern times, with social credit and business reputation on the line. One feels conflicted between maintaining integrity and keeping their business intact.

Liberty Nation: Consumer Confidence Weakens Despite Strong Labor Market
The US job market has continued its boom, adding 339,000 positions in May and led by industries including healthcare and construction. Despite this, it seems consumers are struggling to make ends meet amid rampant inflation and borrowing costs and fear and loathing in America. Consumer confidence has dropped considerably this month, causing particular concern due to the notable worsening outlook among consumers over 55 years of age. Millions of households are living paycheck to paycheck, many are relying on credit to pay for their groceries, and a lot of consumers are dipping into their savings to help cover the growing cost of goods and services. The chief question is: If the US economy is beginning to slow down due to a broad array of factors, why is the national labor market still doing so well?

National Review: Greenwich’s Bruce Museum Reopens with a Triumphant Redo
The Bruce Museum in Greenwich, Connecticut has completed a $67m renovation and expansion project, doubling its size and revamping its galleries. The museum houses art and natural history collections, including an extensive mineral display, and is closely connected to the history of Connecticut's art colony. The expansion has attracted a cascade of loaned and promised gifts of artwork from private collections around the area. The museum's mission statement includes a call for equity, diversity and inclusion but its value can be seen in its wide-ranging and independent exhibitions.

National Review: Victims of Communism, Victims of Modernism
The Victims of Communism Museum honors the 100 million victims of communism with exhibits detailing the atrocities of the ideology. The museum has received little recognition from the mainstream press, a reflection of the West's refusal to morally reckon with communism's casualties. Marxist ideology has seeped into the Western mind, resulting in communist sympathizers like Walter Duranty and Henry Wallace in the past and Hollywood and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in the present. The rejection of spiritual ends and limits in the West has made it difficult for people to condemn the crimes of communism. In order to reignite piety and recognize human limits, we must look towards our biblical heritage and understand man as God's creation.
Foreign Policy: The Bomb Was Horrifying. The Alternatives Would Have Been Worse.
The dropping of atomic bombs on Japan in 1945 remains a subject of controversy and moral angst today, as nations like Russia and China expand their nuclear arsenals. While many Americans believed that dropping the bombs was the least abhorrent option, the publication of John Hersey's "Hiroshima" in 1946 humanized the civilian death and suffering caused by the bombs, causing a shift in popular opinion. Despite pushback from establishment figures like Henry Stimson, who defended the use of the bombs in a Harper's article titled "Henry L. Stimson Explains Why We Used the Atom Bomb," revisionist scholars have continued to question the decision to drop the bombs. However, evidence suggests that the bombs did, in fact, save lives by preventing a potentially catastrophic invasion of Japan.

The Epoch Times: Boxer Gervonta Davis Jailed After Moving Without Permission While on Home Detention
Boxer Gervonta Davis has been ordered to serve the rest of his sentence at Baltimore's jail. The judge made the decision after Davis was found to have moved to a new home and luxury hotel without permission.

Davis had already been ordered to perform community service and attend a Mothers Against Drunk Driving panel. As well as this, he was tasked with completing a program at the University of Maryland's R Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center.

The Epoch Times: Woman Walking on California Beach Finds Ancient Mastodon Tooth
Jennifer Schuh discovered a foot-long tooth originating from a mastodon while strolling on a Californian beach. The tooth was identified by Wayne Thompson, a paleontology collections advisor, as a worn molar from an extinct species of elephant-like Pacific mastodon.

A media plea for the tooth’s return ensued, leading to a jogger discovering the tooth on the beach and donating it to the Santa Cruz Museum of Natural History.

The Epoch Times: These ancient windmills were built over 1,000 years ago from mud, clay, straw—and still work today
The ancient village of Nashtifan in northeast Iran uses wind power to grind grain into flour, facilitated by cleverly designed wooden windmills that have been operating for nearly 1,000 years. The mill's palm-leaf blades are woven tightly together and attached to a central shaft that is operated by the wind, grinding grain into flour. The Nashtifan windmills serve two functions: providing locals with flour and buffering the strong winds in northeast Iran.
