Spectator USA: Who’s actually running Russia?
President Putin's disengagement with serious policy choices concerning the war in Ukraine has left some observers questioning who is actually running the country. Prime Minister Mishustin and his team of technocrats have been credited with the resilience of Russia's economy and day-to-day functioning. Evidence suggests that Mishustin does not support the war, leading some to identify a "party of silence" or even a "party of peace" in the Kremlin that does not support the war, but carries less institutional power than Putin. The article argues that western policymakers need to start thinking about a realistic future for Russia if they are serious about sustainable security in Europe.

Fox News: Transgender inmate to be transferred to women's facility, get surgery after lawsuit
Minnesota transgender inmate Christina Lusk will receive $495,000 and a vaginoplasty as part of a settlement with the state Department of Corrections over allegations of discrimination. Lusk is serving a sentence for a 2018 drug offense and alleged that she was sexually abused by male inmates and was called "it" by both inmates and staff while imprisoned. Lusk will be transferred to a women's prison next week, the first time a Minnesota inmate will be transferred to another prison based on gender identity. The state agrees to strengthen its policies regarding transgender inmates as part of the settlement.
The Federalist Papers: Parents Beware: Major Theme Parks to Hold 'Family Friendly' Drag Shows and It's Not Disney
Six Flags Over Texas is hosting drag shows every Friday and Saturday in June as part of "pride month." The shows are described by the attraction as "family-friendly and inclusive for all ages," but some have voiced their objections on Twitter, arguing that it is not appropriate to expose children to sexual preferences. Lawmakers in Texas have passed a bill that limits public performances of sexual conduct, which is expected to be signed by Texas Gov. Greg Abbott. The aim is to protect children from being sexualized or preyed upon, and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has signed a similar bill.
Forbes: Texas Bans Gender-Affirming Care For Minors—Here Are All The States With Similar Bans Or Restrictions
Republican governors in multiple US states, including Texas, Nebraska, and Florida, have signed bills that restrict access to gender-affirming care for transgender children. The laws make it illegal for physicians to prescribe gender-affirming medication like puberty blockers and hormone therapies, or perform gender-altering surgeries on people under 19, with some exceptions for people with “a medically verifiable disorder of sex development”. Laws also include a provision restricting access for adults unless they sign a consent form. These laws are seen as risks to the lives of transgender youth, as studies have shown they face higher risks of depression, suicide, physical violence, and substance abuse.
Red State: Detransitioned Former SEAL: Medicos, Counselors Hiding Dysphoria Data
Former Navy SEAL Chris Beck is warning the public about the gender industry and its hidden data from parents of kids suffering from gender dysphoria. He recently detransitioned and is now speaking out about how 80% of children who claim to be confused about their gender can be straightened out through therapy and time rather than surgery and chemicals. Parents need to wake up and ensure they are sharing all the data with their children, especially since the Trans Craze is a fad being hyped up by the media, along with bad actors and ideologues with impressive titles exploiting it. A Rasmussen survey showed that 62% of people approve of laws banning sex change surgeries for minors, and Governor Abbott just signed a bill prohibiting such surgical treatments for children suffering from gender dysphoria in Texas.

The Federalist Papers: Bud Light Gets More Bad News, Lower Sales May Be Locked In Permanently Because of Shelve Space Changes
Bud Light's market share is threatened by dropping sales, with major retailers warning of replacement with more successful competitors. Sales have fallen 25% compared to last year due to a conservative backlash resulting from a marketing campaign featuring transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney. Bud Light faces the possibility of losing shelf space to its competitors due to the biannual ‘reset’ of retail outlets' shelf space allocations based on sales data. The majority of beer sales take place at traditional retail outlets rather than bars and restaurants, making the shelf space matter pressing.

The Epoch Times: Oscars’ New Diversity Rules Rob Winners of Authentic Achievement, Say Critics
Actor Richard Dreyfuss has criticised the Academy Awards' new inclusivity requirements, stating that "no one should be telling me as an artist that I have to give into the latest, most current idea of what morality is", while stating that the measures "make me vomit". The standards were laid down by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences in 2020 and require at least two of four new standards be met by films to qualify for best picture nominees. Dreyfuss referred to Laurence Olivier's performance as Othello in blackface to depict his view that actors should not be limited.

PJ Media: College Instructor Creates 'Understanding Christian Privilege' Hallway Display
An Indiana University lecturer created a hallway display at Indiana University–Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) featuring a "Christian Privilege Checklist" that aims to examine if students exhibit Christian privilege. The display stated that Christian privilege applies "benefits that apply to one group of people (Christians) that other groups don’t receive". The poster also provided several examples of Christian privileges, including "You can worship freely, without fear of violence or threats".
The lecturer continued to connect Christian privilege to white supremacy and settler colonialism, and the display received backlash from some. It is unknown whether the bulletin board will reappear during the fall semester.
