The New American: Biden Visit Disrupts Air Force Academy Graduation - The New American
President Biden's visit to the U.S. Air Force Academy (USAFA) graduation ceremony received media attention after he tripped and fell on stage. However, what the media missed was the major disruptions caused to the Colorado Springs community due to the heavy security and road closures. Since the post-9/11 era, presidential visits to USAFA have turned into events with tight security causing major traffic disruptions and exposing the soft tyranny of the police state .
The Epoch Times: Conservative Motion to Cancel Second Carbon Tax Fails in House of Commons
A Conservative motion to cancel the Clean Fuel Standard, also known as the second federal carbon tax, failed in the House of Commons. The opposition party argued that the standard would add 20 cents to a litre of gas, resulting in significant financial pressure on Canadians. The federal carbon tax is set to increase by $15 every year until 2030 and will cost $170 per tonne. The Clean Fuel Standard mandates that fuel companies pay for credits if they fail to reduce the carbon intensity of their fuel, which will eventually lead to increased costs for consumers. The average Canadian family is expected to pay up to $1,160 by 2030, and the tax will disproportionately impact lower-income Canadians.
The Epoch Times: FBI Whistleblower Testimony Should Pave Way for More Investigations, Former Agent Says
Three FBI whistleblowers provided information to a House subcommittee that warrants further investigation and testimony from federal law enforcement whistleblowers. Despite attempts by Democrats to discredit their patriotism and loyalty during the May hearing, the attacks fell flat and showed the minority party was reduced to throwing mud. Whistleblower Stephen Friend resigned from the FBI in February after being on unpaid suspension for five months and refused to go on FBI SWAT raids against Jan. 6 defendants in Florida. He criticized the Bureau for opening hundreds of Jan. 6 cases to create the perception that domestic terrorism is a bigger problem than it is in America. He said there were efforts with Jan. 6 cases to inflate arrest numbers for political reasons.

The American Spectator: Pew Research Study Finds Majority of Asian Americans Vote Democrat
Recent studies confirm that a vast majority of young Asian-American voters identify with or lean towards the Democratic party. The exception is Vietnamese Americans, 51% of whom support the Republican party. While Asian-Americans are generally regarded as being entrepreneurial, industrious, family-oriented and self-reliant, few are voting for the Republican party due to factors such as immigration policy. Young Asian Americans are heavily focused on jobs and the economy, but this has not yet translated into Republican votes. This indicates both parties are experiencing demographic realignments, with the Democratic voting block increasing among the younger, college educated electorate.

The New American: Pistol Brace Owners Ignoring ATF Ruling - The New American
Millions of American gun owners who own pistol braces are ignoring a new ATF rule that requires registration of the brace under the National Firearms Act. The ATF is unable to estimate how many people have complied and how many guns have been abandoned. Erik Longnecker of the ATF's Public Affairs Division said that they’re unable to comment due to ongoing litigation when asked about how they’d enforce the new rule. As of June 1, such firearms not registered with the ATF are considered to be short-barreled rifles, which are illegal. The options available to the public include removing the brace, surrendering the firearm to the ATF, registering the pistol under the NFA, or waiting for a court to rule the ATF unconstitutional.
The American Mind: Exiting the Sex Wars
The backlash to mass feminism is fueled by the belief that men and women are not interchangeable human units but are fundamentally different. The popularization of the manosphere is a backlash to feminism, with its own critiques of female nature. Technology has exacerbated this process, laying bare the dysfunctions of both sexes. The potential solutions to our sex troubles are complicated, but the total disenfranchisement of women is a minority aspiration. The societal safetyism that has neutered men has costs, eliminating ways in which men are uniquely productive. The truce will have to happen as the sex wars are accelerating us toward a cliff.

The Epoch Times: Trudeau Foundation Has Investments in Chinese Companies Flagged for Security Risks, Says Former Board Member
The Trudeau Foundation has investments in Chinese companies Baidu and Tencent, confirmed by a former board member at a parliamentary committee. Both companies have been subjects of security warnings. The foundation was created with a $125 million endowment from the Canadian government to provide grants and academic scholarships.

Fox News: Vivek Ramaswamy calls to disrupt China-Russia alliance, says it would be like splitting Germany and Japan
Vivek Ramaswamy, 2024 Republican presidential candidate, believes that dividing China and Russia's alliance would prevent China from becoming a superpower and thwart Russia's invasion of Ukraine. He would ban US companies from doing business with China until it stops stealing intellectual property and using its companies as "geopolitical pawns". Ramaswamy suggests offering Putin concessions to prevent a greater conflict, which would disrupt the Sino-Russian alliance and transform the global order from bilateral to trilateral. He plans to seek a "total decoupling" of Sino-American business relationships.

The Epoch Times: Caps on Oil and Gas Industry Will Have Little Impact on Global Emissions: Report
A report from the Fraser Institute states the Canadian government's plan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the oil and gas sector will cost the country billions of dollars in lost revenue and have almost no impact on global greenhouse gas emissions. The government's plan requires companies to reduce production to reduce emissions, potentially causing harm to the industry and indirectly to other sectors like petrochemicals. The report notes eliminating emissions from the sector by 2030 would only reduce four-tenths of one percent of global emissions. The report also highlights a phenomenon called "carbon leakage", suggesting if Canada reduces its production, the oil and gas would be produced elsewhere in the world, thus reducing the emissions cap's impact even more.
The Epoch Times: Japan at the G-7 Gets Its Way on China
The G-7 countries have announced a joint plan to counter China's unfair trade practices, aiming to de-risk and decouple their economies from China's coercive tactics. While the communiqué lacked specifics, any unacceptable action from Beijing or any other nation would meet a coordinated G-7 response. Though Germany had a great deal of trade with China, and French President Macron had visited Beijing emphasizing France's desire for "strategic autonomy" from the US and China, Tokyo managed to get all G-7 nations to sign the joint statement. China condemned the statement, calling it "grossly interfering with China's internal affairs."

A Chinese navy ship made an "unsafe" move near a US destroyer in the Taiwan Strait on Saturday, prompting the US military to release footage. The USS Chung-Hoon and Canadian frigate HMCS Montreal were conducting "freedom of navigation" operations, sailing through the strait between Taiwan and mainland China when the incident occurred. The Chinese destroyer overtook the Chung-Hoon on its port side before crossing its bow, leading to the US ship slowing down to avoid a collision. China's foreign ministry defended the manoeuvre, saying it was "in accordance with the law".

Fox News: 'White Lotus' star Jennifer Coolidge reveals ‘fatal flaw’ from her past
Actress Jennifer Coolidge regrets not capitalizing on opportunities early on in her career and not having anyone to show her how to navigate her career. She credits Ariana Grande for reviving her career by casting her in the "Thank U, Next" music video. Coolidge played Tanya McQuoid-Hunt in the first two seasons of "The White Lotus," winning a Golden Globe, SAG Award, and Emmy Award for her portrayal, and although her character was killed off, she seems to be at peace with the storyline.
The Epoch Times: Disney's Box Office Blow
Disney’s live-action remake of “The Little Mermaid” fell short of expectations at the box office, leading some to question if the company’s ‘woke’ ideology is taking its toll. The movie made just $40.6 million over the Memorial Day weekend, compared to $120.5 million for Marvel’s “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse”. Reports also suggest that expectations for foreign earnings are behind projections, which could leave the $250 million production with losses of almost $20 million. Criticisms of “woke” changes to songs and characters are thought to have added to negative reactions to the film in the US and internationally.
Disney’s reported adoption of a “woke” stance in recent years - with a range of criticisms levelled at its popular films – looks to be impacting its box office takings. Fans have criticised its inclusivity agenda, accusing the company of introducing adult themes that have no place in its family-friendly environment. It has also been reported that negative reactions to new environmental and “girl power” messages or themes in films like The Little Mermaid may be damaging its customer base. Political issues have also arisen, with demands from some employees for condemnation of certain legislation leading to the ousting of the CEO and its ranking as “worst of the woke”.
The Imaginative Conservative: Ray Bradbury: Talisman of the Space Age
Ray Bradbury's biography, Bradbury Beyond Apollo, depicts the life of the writer, who wrote over 600 short stories and several novels. Despite his prolific career, Bradbury's creative trajectory was difficult to follow after the first two decades of his writing when he returned repeatedly to the safe harbors of his early successes. Eller captures Bradbury's pro-space exploration and Hollywood promotion activity that defined his later years until his death in 2012. Bradbury became a staunch Republican by 1968, defending Reagan even at science-fiction conventions and admiring President George W. Bush.
Spectator USA: Can Armie Hammer stage a comeback?
Actor Armie Hammer will not face charges for alleged sexual assault and cannibalism due to a lack of evidence, according to the Los Angeles County DA’s office. However, the reputation of the former leading man has been tainted by the allegations and he has lost several major acting roles. Though Kevin Spacey continues to pursue acting work despite being charged with sexual assault and indecent assault, Hammer may take heart from Johnny Depp’s comeback trail, though the latter’s mainstream stardom appears to have ended. Some actors have claimed that cancel culture is ruining careers based on hearsay and vague suggestion.

The Epoch Times: California’s Plan to Ban Police Dogs for Crowd Control, Arrests Stalls in Assembly
A proposed California bill to ban the use of police canines against Black Americans and other people of color has been shelved until next year by Assemblyman Corey Jackson. The bill faced significant opposition from law enforcement agencies, which resulted in it being changed into a two-year bill and not being put up for a vote in the Assembly. If the bill becomes law, it would restrict police from using canines for arrests and crowd control, while they could still use canines for search and rescue operations, detecting bombs, and sniffing out narcotics. Over 30 law enforcement agencies opposed the bill, while 30 organizations, including the California Public Defenders Association and National Police Accountability Project, supported it.
