Breitbart: Rep. Luna: FBI 'Afraid' Informant in Biden Investigation 'Will Be Killed'
The FBI reportedly fears that an informant alleging a $5 million bribery scheme involving President Joe Biden will be killed if unmasked, according to Republican Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna (FL), who learned of the alleged threat in a recent House Oversight meeting. The informant is said to be a “highly credible” FBI source with a history dating back to the Obama administration era. The FBI has possession of a document from an interview with the informant that allegedly details an arrangement between now-President Joe Biden and a foreign national involving an exchange of money for policy decisions. After weeks of stonewalling a congressional subpoena, FBI Director Christopher Wray agreed to allow members of Congress to view the unclassified document next Monday, but the House Oversight Committee still plans to move forward with holding the FBI in contempt of Congress.
The Blaze: FBI is afraid informant with info on alleged Biden bribery scandal will be murdered if unmasked, says Rep. Luna
The FBI fears that an informant with insights into an alleged criminal bribery scheme involving President Joe Biden "will be killed" if unmasked, according to Rep. Anna Paulina Luna. Luna claims the informant has brought forward information about the Biden family's involvement in a $5 million bribery scheme with a foreign national during his time as VP. House Republicans plan to initiate contempt of Congress hearings against FBI Director Christopher Wray on Thursday for refusing to turn over the unclassified document to lawmakers as legally required.
Spectator USA: Jacinda Ardern becomes a Dame
New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern was awarded the Dame Grand Companion of the New Zealand Order of Merit, which she describes as an "acknowledgment" rather than an honor, citing her republican views. Ardern had campaigned for republicanism in 2017, suggesting the country could do without Queen Elizabeth as head of state, but has accepted accolades such as being named a trustee of Prince William's Earthshot prize for the environment. While praised for her response to the Christchurch terrorist attack, she was criticized for a zero-Covid strategy and leaving New Zealand with high debt levels and an imminent recession.
Fox News: Gaetz to propose contempt of Congress against NYC prosecutor who lobbied for Trump indictment
Mark Pomerantz, a lawyer investigating ex-President Trump under Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, is to be held in contempt of Congress by Representative Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.). Pomerantz reportedly "asserted his Fifth Amendment privilege over these matters" when questioned by the House Judiciary Committee and refused to answer "substantive questions." His resignation letter reportedly stated that "the team that has been investigating Mr. Trump harbors no doubt about whether he committed crimes—he did," but Republicans have questioned his involvement. Trump's allies have called Bragg's investigation a political "hit job," while Gaetz blasted Pomerantz's "frivolous" behavior before Congress.
Former President Trump was indicted on 34 felony counts relating to hush money payments to ex-Playboy model Karen McDougal and porn star Stormy Daniels, but his Republican allies have denounced the investigation as politically motivated. Bragg has been criticized for his arrest of Trump and failure to prosecute other "real criminals," and Pomerantz called the Republicans' interest in the case "an act of political theater." However, Gaetz's contempt resolution claims that Pomerantz waived his right to the fifth amendment when he asserted the veracity of his tell-all book, "People Vs. Donald Trump: An Inside Account," before Congresswoman Elise Stefanik. Steve Bannon, a Trump ally, was also charged with two counts of contempt of Congress last July following his failure to comply with a subpoena.

The Epoch Times: The Boys of America Are Suffering—How Can We Help Them?
The patriarchy doesn't rule with an iron fist; suicide rates among men in America are high and masculinity is demonized by the American Psychological Association. As a result, men are turning to new role models like academic Richard Reeves, whose latest book praises feminism and the feminist framework of intersectionality. Yet, his affiliation with the Brookings Institution, a left-leaning establishment, is cause for concern. School staff pressure parents into diagnosing boys with attention issues and medicating them or face expulsion, and female teachers who grade female students higher than male students are struggling to engage with male students, suggests specialist Adam Lane Smith.
Red State: Formerly Anonymous Lia Thomas Teammate Speaks Out, Shares Disturbing New Details
Former University of Pennsylvania swimmer, Paula Scanlan, has revealed details of the psychological manipulation and abuse that the female team members faced due to Lia Thomas, a transgender athlete. Thomas, who is a biological male, was given a spot on the women's team and forced into the locker room with the female athletes. The team was threatened with retribution if they dared speak out. The situation is an example of university leadership betraying female athletes to affirm the delusions of a man for selfish political reasons.

Spectator USA: Britain’s prime minister is on a US charm offensive
Rishi Sunak is set to meet with President Joe Biden for his first bilateral in the US, focusing on trade, security, and artificial intelligence regulations. The UK government is seeking to play a leading role in regulating AI, with Sunak concerned about the threat it poses.

The government believes that work on AI will not only address potential threats but offer a domestic win for politicians if voters are concerned about job security.
The Epoch Times: US Ignorant of Investment Fund Portfolio in China: Expert
US invests $800bn in China but does not monitor what is being funded, says Derek Scissors of American Enterprise Institute. National Critical Capabilities Defense Act 2021 was passed in the House but failed Senate; another bipartisan bill led by Rosa DeLauro has since been introduced. Scissors believes that US companies maintaining ties to China are "undermining America’s geopolitical position" and making the country more vulnerable. He warns that those reliant on the Chinese market face immense risks given Xi Jinping's attitudes to dissent and limited tolerance for foreign companies.
Fox News: American-based aid group claims $900K was stolen from Congo program by members of organization
American aid group GiveDirectly says $900,000 was stolen from its Congo program by members in conjunction with outsiders. This fraud lasted over six months, involved 1,700 families and was only possible due to a change made to GiveDirectly's payment process. Eastern Congo, where the group operates, has been experiencing conflict and poverty for decades, with 120 armed groups fighting for land and minerals, making the region a target for corruption among aid organization. The group is currently investigating the fraud and aims to recover as much of the funds as possible to ensure families affected by the fraud get their money back.
Breitbart: ‘Deepfake' Putin Declares Martial Law on Hacked Russian TV and Radio
Russian officials claim that the supposed "emergency" address from Vladimir Putin declaring martial law was an A.I.-generated fake deployed by hackers who had control of a television and radio station for 37 minutes. The footage aired on the MIR television and radio services was completely fake, with officials from the broadcaster claiming that hackers had somehow managed to gain access to their network in order to broadcast the forgery seemingly created with A.I. Such a statement was echoed by Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov, who assured TASS that Putin had made no emergency address on Monday.
The Epoch Times: China Should 'Behave Responsibly,' Anand Says After Warship Nearly Hits US Ship During Canada-US Mission in Taiwan Strait
Canadian Defence Minister Anita Anand has criticized China’s behavior after a naval vessel nearly collided with an American ship, saying China must act more “responsibly.” The incident occurred during a Canada-U.S. joint mission through the Taiwan Strait. Anand said the region was an “international strait” and it must be ensured that international “rules and norms” were respected. She added that Canada would continue to sail “where international law allows” and with the goal of increasing “peace and stability of this region.” The incident follows similar confrontations, with a Canadian military plane being harassed by Chinese fighter jets over Japan last year.

Forbes: Buying Fake Streams On Spotify May Seem Like A Good Idea — Here’s Why It’s Not
Buying fake streams on music streaming platforms like Spotify may make an artist seem more successful than they really are, but the downsides of this practice far outweigh any benefits.

Fox News: Missouri Gov. Mike Parson declines clemency for death row inmate who killed 2 jail guards
Missouri inmate Michael Tisius, aged 42, is set to be executed for killing two jailers in an attempt to free another inmate from county jail in 2000. The state's governor, Mike Parson, refused to grant clemency for Tisius and expressed the state's intention to carry out his sentences. Advocates for Tisius have argued that he was neglected as a child and had an unstable upbringing, while the defendant himself has filed for clemency on various grounds, including being 19 at the time of the crime, illiteracy on the part of a juror, and his mental health.
Tisius will be the third person to be executed in Missouri this year, and the 12th in the US. His appeals for clemency and other issues have caused emotional distress to Tisius, who is "angry and frightened" as a result. Meanwhile, the Supreme Court declined his appeal based on the fact that he was 19 at the time of the crime, while a Missouri court filing noted that his age and mental health were considered during his trials, but the death penalty was still imposed. Advocates hope to change legal protections against executions for those under 18 by citing "emerging science" that could apply to Tisius, as he was just a year older than the threshold.
Fox News: Victims of Colorado gay club shooting to sue authorities for failing to obtain red flag order against shooter
Survivors of the 2022 Club Q shooting in Colorado Springs plan to sue authorities for not obtaining a red flag order against shooter Anderson Aldrich, who had previously been arrested for threatening his grandparents and vowing to be a mass killer. 11 survivors and relatives of those killed have notified the El Paso County Sheriff's Office that they intend to file lawsuits for more than $160 million over the failure to obtain an extreme risk protection order against Aldrich. The sheriff's office said it could not seek a red flag order because of the previous arrest since the case was sealed and there was no new evidence that Aldrich posed a threat in the near future.
Fox News: NYPD officers engaging in 'unconstitutional policing' with 'stop and frisk' initiative, federal monitor says
A court-appointed monitor found that New York City's "stop and frisk" initiative is harming communities of color and violating the law. The initiative, which is meant to combat gun violence in the city, uses unconstitutional policing by stopping and frisking too many people without justification, according to the monitor. The Neighborhood Safety Teams, which replaced anti-crime units, are responsible for these stops, with 97% of those stopped being Black or Hispanic. However, the city officials have "serious concerns" with the monitor's methodology and claim that the Neighborhood Safety Teams have enhanced training and oversight to ensure that they protect civil liberties and keep New Yorkers safe.

Fox News: Rangers transfer Jacob deGrom to 60-day IL, delaying return to action
Jacob deGrom's return for the Texas Rangers has been delayed until at least late June. The transfer to the 60-day injured list will allow for another MRI and additional testing for the two-time National League Cy Young Award winner, who has dealt with inflammation in his right elbow since his April 28 exit. Texas does not anticipate any return before June 28, as the general manager stated the Rangers want to proceed cautiously with their $185 million pitcher. While limited to 156 1/3 innings over his last two seasons with the New York Mets due to injuries, deGrom has benefited from Texas' six wins this season, which gives him a 2-0 record.
