The Epoch Times: Newsom Brands DeSantis a 'Small Pathetic Man' After 2nd Plane of Illegal Immigrants Lands in California
Dozens of illegal immigrants have been flown to California on separate flights from Texas, with their alleged transport by the same contractor behind both planes coming in for criticism. The latest craft brought around 20 undocumented individuals who appeared to be being transported under a state-funded programme. Officials say they held paperwork bearing the name of Florida-based Vertol Systems as the company behind their transport. Analysts believe the flights have political implications, given Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’ vocal opposition to President Biden’s immigration policies. A Californian law is being examined to consider whether or not kidnapping charges could be brought against those behind the transport.

Colonie Town sues New York City and Albany for sending migrants to the town without their approval.

The Federalist: The Most Important Question For 2024 GOP Candidates
Republican presidential candidates must address how to win under the current voting system, which heavily favors Democrats, or risk losing the 2024 election. The system has radically transformed from in-person paper ballots with identification to mass-mail-in elections with lax ID standards, allowing Democrats to manipulate and exploit the vulnerable voting regime, making efficient ballot harvesting an accepted norm. There is also the looming issue of "Zuckerbucks" and an executive order promoting access to voting, which has remained shrouded in mystery, allowing the left to steer private money towards election administration. Republicans must devise comprehensive lawfare strategies to aggressively target existing election chicanery and anticipate that the ruling class will do everything in their power to stymie any Republican nominee. In this context, Republican candidates must develop a pragmatic and realistic plan that aims to restore single-day in-person voting with identification and maximum transparency and fight against Democrats tactics relying on whatever means available.
National Review: Chris Christie’s Redemption Tour
Chris Christie is considering a 2024 Republican presidential run against Donald Trump. Christie’s brash style, past advocacy of gun bans and support for Obamacare have turned off many voters, though he remains charismatic and rhetorical. While recent criticism of Trump suggests Christie may take a more aggressive approach to the former president than others, his candidacy would have to overcome steep odds to win the nomination. The popular and similarly outspoken Ron DeSantis may take some of the wind out of Christie’s sails, while running a divisively anti-Trump campaign could ultimately do more harm than good to the Republican Party’s chances.
Fox News: New Jersey Primary Election Day kicks off as incumbent GOP Sen. Ed Durr looks to be reelected
New Jersey is holding primary elections with only a handful of contested races, but the fight to control both chambers of the Legislature comes in November. Democrat and Republican incumbents face challenges, and some races have captured attention, including the contest between Dick Codey and Nia Gill to lengthen their political careers in the 27th Legislative District, where Gov. Phil Murphy endorsed Codey as a "hardworking and dedicated" public servant. In the 3rd Legislative District, incumbent Republican Sen. Ed Durr is facing a challenge from incumbent GOP Assemblywoman Beth Sawyer, who was his running mate when they shocked the state by helping the GOP net seven seats and oust Senate President Steve Sweeney.
Fox News: Gov. Sununu clashes with Jen Psaki over claims of collusion between Trump and Russia: 'It is nonsense'
New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu defended former President Donald Trump and criticized the media for what he considers to be politically motivated attacks on Trump. Sununu argued that legal actions against Trump only increase his popularity, and that Trump is playing the "victim card" to his advantage. Despite his criticism of Trump, Sununu believes that every Republican except Trump could beat President Biden in 2024, as Trump continues to lead in polls of GOP primary voters.
Fox News: Trump campaign continues to push false narratives about DeSantis: Here are five examples
Former President Trump and current Florida Governor Ron DeSantis have ramped up their attacks against each other since DeSantis announced his candidacy for president on May 24. However, the Trump campaign has been accused of creating false narratives about DeSantis' policies. For example, Trump called DeSantis the "lockdown governor" earlier this year, even though DeSantis' restrictions were among the least heavy-handed in the country. Trump also falsely claimed that DeSantis voted for Trump-nominated Christopher Wray to become FBI director in 2017, despite the fact that this vote is fulfilled by Senate members. DeSantis pushed back against Trump's claims and criticized Trump's attacks as "very bizarre."
Fox News: Top Republican presses Biden admin over apparent manipulation of energy company's stock
Sen. John Barrasso expressed concern to the Department of Energy over the impact of its abrupt decision last month to pull a $200 million grant for electric vehicle battery component firm Microvast. Amid the award, Microvast’s share price surged over 40%, then fell 36% after the grant was pulled. Barrasso called the government’s role in the company’s stock price “inappropriate if not unethical,” and calls for clarity and transparency surrounding the awards process.
The Epoch Times: The Supreme Court’s New Decision on 'Taking Property'
Supreme Court rules in Tyler v. Hennepin County that keeping the extra $25K from sale of Geraldine Tyler's foreclosed unit was an unconstitutional "taking" of her property. However, the court's decision seems to benefit an elderly lady who neglected to pay real estate taxes for six years. The Tyler case exemplifies one reason those who claim the current court is "conservative" are simply wrong: The court continues to apply a great deal of erroneous liberal precedent. Additionally, the case shows why it is misleading to label this bench or its six non-liberal justices as "conservative."

The Epoch Times: Lower-Class Humor in the Middle Ages: The Miller’s Tale

The Federalist: Bad Governance Jeopardizes California Home Insurance
Allstate and State Farm have ceased offering new property coverage to California residents due to an increase in catastrophic wildfires and historic increases in construction costs. Despite claims of "climate-fueled" insurance crisis, the true hindrance is poor public policy surrounding California's land management, including years of fire suppression, environmental prohibitions on roads and salvage logging, and budget cuts for wildfire prevention. In addition, state law has made it more difficult for insurance companies to establish premiums, with a ballot measure passed in 1988 and a cap on insurance premium increases beyond 7 percent. Furthermore, regulations passed by the state legislature threaten to make it more difficult to sustain a healthy insurance industry, with stricter labor laws for goat herders leading to a decrease in goat populations, thus increasing the potential for larger fires and higher insurance costs.

The Economist: A huge explosion breaches the Kakhovka dam in southern Ukraine
The Kakhovka dam in southern Ukraine was deliberately destroyed, causing severe flooding that threatens downstream villages. The Russians are believed to be responsible for the explosion and may face charges for war crimes. The hydro-electric station provided electricity for 3 million people and was also crucial to the Russian occupation of Crimea. The dam's destruction will impact the military geography of southern Ukraine during the counter-offensive against Russian forces.
In other news, Ukraine's counter-offensive against Russian forces appears to have begun with armour strikes in the south-east. Meanwhile, a new Turkish cabinet offers hope of a policy U-turn towards better economics, and Europe is showing unity with Ukraine and its neighbors through the formation of the European Political Community in Moldova.

The Epoch Times: Oil Falls as Economic Fears Overshadow Saudi Output Cut
Oil prices fall over $1 a barrel due to worries about global economic growth, despite Saudi Arabia's promise to deepen output cuts. Brent crude futures dropped by 1.73 percent to $75.38 a barrel, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude fell 1.93 percent to $70.76 a barrel. The U.S. services sector barely expanded in May, causing market watchers to anticipate a halt on interest rate hikes from the U.S. Federal Reserve, which could further slow energy demand. However, investors await upcoming economic data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration and China’s May trade data to provide more information about demand for the world's second-largest oil consumer.
National Review: Shareholders, Not ESG, the Key to Corporate Governance
Corporate executives must balance the interests of multiple stakeholders, including shareholders, employees, customers, and suppliers. While the ESG movement promotes environmental and social responsibility alongside profitability, Nobel laureate Milton Friedman insisted that profit maximization is the primary social responsibility of businesses. Nevertheless, some suggest a nuanced framework emphasizing long-term value for shareholders and recognizing that unbridled profit maximization can generate negative externalities. Corporations must also address the public’s distrust of their goals by emphasizing long-term, equitable returns to investors while spotlighting resources that concern all stakeholders.
The Epoch Times: Drier Conditions to Drive Down Agricultural Production
Australian agricultural production is forecast to fall by 14% to $79bn, down from last year's $92bn, over the coming twelve months, predicts ABARES. The fall is being driven primarily by poorer crop yields, which are set to be the worst in four years, due to adverse weather and dry conditions. Wheat production is set to fall 34%, barley 30% and canola 41%. While winter crop production may fall more than a third, summer crop production is expected to fall only slightly below its 10-year average. Nonetheless, industries not entirely dependent on crops, specifically horticulture and wool, are expected to experience strong growth.
The Epoch Times: World Stocks Tread Water as Traders Eye Fed Pause Prospects
Soft U.S. economic data suggest the Federal Reserve may skip an interest rate hike next week, as the Reserve Bank of Australia raises interest rates and warns more may follow to get inflation back on track. The MSCI's world stock index was largely flat while the Nikkei rose 0.9% and China's blue-chip index fell almost 1%. "We’re actually still positioned on the notion that you can get a mild U.S. recession without pulling the world into recession,” says PineBridge Investments' Mike Kelly. Three months ago, rate hikes were expected to move fast but betting odds on the Fed standing still have surged to 82% from 36% one week earlier, according to the CME FedWatch tool.

Liberty Nation: The Chaplains of D-Day
The D-Day chaplains of various denominations provided comfort to soldiers during the Normandy invasion in 1944. Among the brave clergymen was Chaplain Irving Tepper, who was killed in action while ministering to his men. Similarly, Catholic Chaplain Francis Sampson, known as the "Parachute Padre," tended to the wounded and dying both spiritually and physically as part of his service during the invasion. Chaplain Julian Ellenberg was awarded the Silver Star for gallantry in action; the Christian Standard noted that, huddled in a foxhole on the beach with artillery shells exploding everywhere, "that night was spent in prayer and in giving words of encouragement." While the presence of chaplains in foxholes may not be as common today, their presence on D-Day remains a testament to the power of faith even in the most intense of circumstances.

Fox News: Prince Harry enters witness box for UK court showdown, accuses tabloid of playing 'a destructive role'
Prince Harry testified in a U.K. court against a tabloid publisher he accuses of phone hacking. He is suing the publisher of the Daily Mirror, claiming the outlet used unlawful techniques on an "industrial scale" to get scoops on the British royal family. The youngest son of King Charles III is the first senior British royal since the 19th century to face questioning in court. His ancestor Prince Albert Edward, Queen Victoria’s eldest son who went on to become King Edward VII in 1901, appeared as a witness in a trial over a gambling scandal in 1891.
Harry’s lawyer stated that from his childhood, British newspapers used hacking and subterfuge to mine snippets of information that could be turned into front-page scoops, covering an array of personal topics, including his relationships with girlfriends. The Mirror Group has paid more than 100 million pounds ($125 million) to settle hundreds of unlawful information-gathering claims and printed an apology to phone hacking victims in 2015. However, the newspaper denies or has not admitted any of Harry’s claims, which relate to 33 published articles. The trial started because of allegations of unlawful information gathering in previous decades.
