The migrants were transported from El Paso to New Mexico and then to California. It is unclear who paid for their transportation and whether the individuals behind the transportation misled anyone with false promises or violated any criminal laws.

Red State: Nikki Haley Says the Media Wants a 'Two-Person Race,' Which Would Most Benefit the GOP in the Election
Nikki Haley accuses the media of wanting a two-person race for the GOP nomination and believes the American people are smarter than that; they need a candidate who can win, and they cannot withstand another four years of Joe Biden. Haley believes the U.S. needs a new, generational leader, and she is determined to earn Iowa's support.
Most Republican candidates are running against a substantial “baked-in” Trump vote, giving Trump the upper hand. The more candidates that enter the race, including those not named DeSantis, the better chance Trump has of winning the nomination. Haley may be a viable option for the vice-presidential spot, and as much as some may like Haley, the Republican song remains the same.
National Review: The Corner: Our Part-Time President
Joe Biden's advanced age is causing increasing unease among Democrats, with reports that the window of his public appearances is getting smaller. Wall Street Democrats talk of little else at donor meetings, while former Democratic senators and governors agree that he is too old to run again. Officials privately acknowledge that they make reasonable accommodations to prevent overtaxing an aging president, with most public appearances scheduled between noon and 4 p.m. and weekends left free as much as possible. Biden currently has about 20 good hours a week, beyond which anything else is an open question.
Breitbart: State Conspired with Social Media to Censor Lockdown Critics - Report
The UK government allegedly collaborated with social media and A.I. firms to monitor and censor critics of coronavirus lockdowns. The Counter-Disinformation Unit reportedly teamed up with Google, Facebook, Twitter, and Logically to identify and censor speech critical of the government's draconian policy. The CDU was given the status of a "trusted flagger," allowing them to fast-track censorship requests, and monitored high-profile lockdown sceptics, including Oxford Academic Professor Carl Heneghan. The Freedom of Information Act documents have been heavily redacted, and secretive meetings were held by officials with social media bosses and members of BBC, discussing how to stop the spread of "misinformation" and “disinformation” regarding the pandemic.

Breitbart: Road-Blocking Climate Activists Could Lose Their Drivers Licenses
UK government reportedly considering plans to revoke driving licenses of climate activists who engage in protests that block traffic. The move is aimed at groups such as Just Stop Oil and Extinction Rebellion, who have used disruptive tactics like glueing themselves to roads to garner attention for their cause. The government may enact legislation that would allow judges to revoke licenses of anyone who commits public order offences during protests, beyond just those who block roads. Road blockades have caused serious injuries and even deaths, prompting criticism of both eco-warrior tactics and police response.
Forbes: Why The Strikes At Disneyland Paris Are Out Of Its Control
Disneyland Paris has been hit by a strike involving over 1,000 "Cast Members," or staff, who are asking for a monthly wage increase of €200 ($215), improved length-of-service bonuses and higher pay for working on Sundays. The protests, which began earlier this month on Main Street in the Disneyland Park, are being fought by permanent staff who receive benefits such as Disney's training programmes; the vast majority of workers are not on temporary contracts, unlike at many US theme parks. Although Disneyland Paris has addressed demonstrators' calls by allowing visitors to receive refunds or postponements if their visit was on a specific day, according to reports, the strike continues.
Breitbart: LGBTQI+ Advocates Cheer as Federal Judge Overturns Tennessee's Ban on Drag Shows in Front of Kids
A federal judge has declared Tennessee’s first-in-the-nation law banning drag shows as unconstitutional. Despite Tennessee’s compelling interest in protecting the wellbeing of children, the law was ruled to be an unconstitutional restriction on freedom of speech and encouraged discriminatory enforcement. The ruling has been met with applause and cheering from LGBTQI+ advocates.
Flag And Cross: Parents Beware: Major Theme Parks to Hold 'Family Friendly' Drag Shows and It's Not Disney
Six Flags over Texas will have drag shows every Friday and Saturday in June for Pride Month. Many took to Twitter to protest Six Flags "forcing sexual behaviors" on children. However, Texas lawmakers have passed a law to limit public performances of sexual conduct, and SB 12, protecting children from sexually explicit drag shows, is currently on Texas Gov. Greg Abbott's desk awaiting his signature. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has signed a similar bill.

Foreign Policy: What’s Going on Inside Putin’s Russia?
Experts analyze Russia's propaganda machine, the books Russians are reading, and the rise of fascist youth to understand the country's current state since the invasion of Ukraine. Russian state media works to fuel the war effort and distort reality. Bestselling books provide insight into how Russians are processing the war, while a frighteningly fascist youth generation glorifies war and Putin. The country's path to despotism and a clash with the West was not preordained, and a Ukrainian victory may be the only chance for long-term salvation.

Fox News: Iowa pig farmer warns Supreme Court upholding 'troubling' California law will raise prices, destroy businesses
A farmer warns that a California law upholding strict standards for the sale of pork could result in pork producers going out of business. Proposition 12, which was approved by voters in 2018, imposed specific space requirements for pigs, amongst other standards. An Iowa farmer has already spent approximately $20m to accommodate the standards over the last few years, but others are struggling to comply. The National Pork Producers Council predicts that Prop 12 could cost the industry up to $350m to comply with California's requirements, making pork production unprofitable for many farmers.
Forbes: The GOP Created ‘Chairman Bernanke,’ And the Internet Is Forever...
Economists believe booms bring on soaring prices and declines bring on the bargains. Ben Bernanke politicized for the Federal Reserve position and became known for explicitly managing economic growth to keep a lid on prosperity and allegedly higher prices. Bernanke's beliefs were a problem for growth-focused Republicans, so he reinvented himself as a Republican open to a wide range of economic schools. He was seated as Fed Chair in 2006 and blamed market corrections for the 2008 crisis. When experts substitute their narrow knowledge for that of the marketplace, the crisis that follows is a given.

American Thinker: Cracks in Biden's wokester Pentagon? Military backs off from promoting gay culture
The US military is reversing its pro-LGBTQ+ stance, with the Pentagon refusing to host drag shows and the Navy removing social media posts supporting Pride month. Republican lawmakers have criticized events that promote diversity or racial-justice education, arguing that they distract from warfighting and affect recruitment efforts. Notably, the military has now removed its pro-LGBTQ+ stance, with some members such as Representative Matt Gaetz branding its drag shows as un-child-friendly. Some speculate that the shift may be driven by concerns over the military’s falling recruitment numbers or ridicule aimed at the military's gay orientation.

Breitbart: Republican Bill to Exempt Turbans from Motorcycle Helmets Advances in California
California State Sen. Brian Dahle's proposed bill would allow those wearing religious turbans to be exempt from state law regarding wearing motorcycle helmets, as an expression of their religious belief and practice when riding on a motorcycle, motor-driven cycle, or motorized bicycle. The proposed legislation has advanced in the State Senate, with Dahle acknowledging concerns about road safety, but stating his bill's focus is on freedom of religious expression. While exemptions have been granted in other countries, Sikhs in other US states currently are not exempt from helmet laws due to religious practices.

The Federalist Papers: Double-Check Your Statements, Major Bank Reveals Glitches Caused Duplicate Transactions
Chase online banking suffered glitches causing double payments, duplicate transactions, and errors in customer accounts, according to Fox Business. Wait times to speak to a human also reached almost an hour. Zelle, a peer-to-peer payment service operated by Chase, was also affected. Refunds and transaction reversals were being processed for affected customers.
Customers of Wells Fargo Bank also recently experienced missing transactions and incorrect balances due to direct deposits not being recorded, according to Forbes. The bank alerted customers of the issue when they logged in and assured them that their accounts were still secure. The electronic fund transfer act protects consumers from errors in their accounts, so they will not be liable for losses.
