Fox News: These young Americans are worried about the nation's future: 'A lot of headbutting'
Young Americans in Texas expressed dissatisfaction with the state of the nation, citing issues such as the government, economy, immigration, and homelessness as major concerns. A May 30 Gallup poll revealed that only 18% of Americans are satisfied with the state of the nation, dropping to just 14% among young adults. The Biden administration's focus on foreign affairs, such as the war in Ukraine, was criticized for distracting from domestic issues.
Flag And Cross: Trump Extends Huge Invitation to Children's Choir Stopped by Capitol Police for Singing National Anthem
President Trump has invited the Rushingbrook Children's Choir to perform "The Star-Spangled Banner" at one of his upcoming rallies. The choir made headlines when they were interrupted by Capitol Police during a singing performance at the US Capitol. The Capitol Police denied that they stopped the performance because it might offend someone, but that demonstrations and musical performances are not allowed in the US Capitol. Trump's invite is seen as a canny move for an early primary state that might pose a problem for him, given that two of his declared competitors for the nomination — former governor Nikki Haley and Sen. Tim Scott — are both from South Carolina.
Washington Free Beacon: WATCH: Mike Pence Launches 2024 Campaign With 'We're Better Than This' Appeal
Former Vice President Mike Pence challenges former boss Donald Trump for the Republican presidential nomination, a rare move in American history. Pence faces a difficult campaign after refusing to stop the certification of President Joe Biden's victory, causing anger and endangering his life and the lives of others. Pence focuses heavily on Iowa and evangelical voters, embracing many of Trump's policies while presenting himself as a consensus-oriented alternative. Pence cites inflation, immigration, and recession risk as important issues, as well as the threat of authoritarian regimes and culture war concerns like transgender Americans and drag queens.
Breitbart: Report: North Korea Seeing 'Dozens' of Civilian Attacks on Communist Police
North Korean citizens are protesting police corruption and in some cases assaulting officers, according to a provincial government official who observed a classified report on the matter. The report detailed dozens of incidents of citizens “extracting revenge” against police officers for mistreating them or their loved ones. Residents have accused police of engaging in bullying behavior and protection racketeering at marketplaces, and officers have reportedly been extorting fuel and cash from motorists. The North Korean central government has responded with measures to teach unquestioning obedience to law enforcers and enhance penalties for those who attack them, but the wave of violence is growing.
The Blaze: 'Non-binary' TikToker cries over being featured in Trump campaign ad for 1 second: 'I felt shame'
James Rose, a non-binary and transgender social media influencer with 500k followers, posted an emotional video after being featured for one second in a Donald Trump campaign ad alongside controversial influencer Dylan Mulvaney. Rose claimed that this move was an attempt to "eradicate" the transgender community. The Trump ad titled "Invasion of America" contested President Biden's failures, including transgender ideology. Rose thanked Trump for making gay men reach out to him but stated that this presidential campaign will be "horrible" for the transgender community.
The Epoch Times: Deep State Rot and Corruption Festers with Russiagate Unpunished and Receding
The FBI and DOJ have become politicized and weaponized against their perceived opponents. Whistleblowers have testified that the FBI targeted innocent people for investigation and has cooked the books on domestic violent extremist cases. The FBI also has awarded cash bonuses for meeting arbitrary metrics and goals, creating perverse incentives for the leadership. Despite extensive investigations, the FBI has not identified the pipe bomber of the Democratic National Committee and Republican National Committee headquarters. The FBI has stonewalled and obstructed congressional investigations into alleged foreign national bribery of the Biden family. Whistleblowers have come out of the IRS claiming that Hunter Biden received favorable treatment in a criminal tax probe into his activities. The IRS has removed the entire team probing Hunter Biden’s tax returns in alleged retaliation for whistleblowing. The CIA may have intervened on Biden’s behalf in the 2020 election. The FBI has also fudged the FISA rules, improperly using its warrantless search powers against U.S. citizens more than 278,000 times in 2021. The administrative state also targeted journalist Matt Taibbi for publishing findings of government weaponization. The actions of the Deep State collectively should have every American demanding impeachment of agency leaders, defunding, and radical restructuring.
Washington Free Beacon: WATCH: Chris Christie Goes Hard Against Trump in Launch of 2024 Campaign
Former New Jersey governor Chris Christie launched his 2024 presidential campaign, criticizing Republican frontrunner Donald Trump and presenting himself as the only Republican contender brave enough to clash with him. Christie accused Biden and Trump of "making us smaller" and labeled Trump a "self-serving mirror hog" who was more responsible for the country's failed immigration policy than Biden. Despite his early support for Trump, Christie has since become a vocal critic due to false claims Trump made about the 2020 election being rigged, yet it remains unclear whether Christie, who received only 1 percent support in a recent Reuters/Ipsos poll, can challenge Trump's loyal support base.

The Blaze: Democrats in favor of King Biden’s budget
Robert Reich has suggested that President Biden should ignore the debt ceiling and fund his own budget. Reich argues that this would make Biden an effective dictator and help avoid default, but Mark Levin disagrees, mocking Reich's "Marxist" ideas and arguing that the Constitution does not allow the president to both submit and fund a budget. Laurence Tribe has reportedly advised Biden that he could bypass Congress, but no president in American history has done so.
The Epoch Times: Pence Formally Announces 2024 Presidential Run
Mike Pence, former Vice President, announced on Twitter he is running for the 2024 Presidential race as a Republican candidate using religious language and references to the glory days of Ronald Reagan's leadership. He did not mention Donald Trump by name, but rather drew on Trump's American Carnage speech to highlight the troubles America is currently facing and offering solutions such as different leadership that appeals to the better angels of our nature. Pence has a crowded race with Trump being the clear favorite, polling at 54%, and Pence and Nikki Haley both polling around 5%.

High school sweethearts Caroline Reeves and Eddie Lamm remarried after over 60 years apart.

Fox News: California Democrats lament 'struggle' in passing reparations: 'Not as liberal as people want us to believe'
California Democrats are not taking enough action on reparations in the state and racism is a bigger hurdle than party, says Democratic State Sen. Steven Bradford. Advocates are frustrated with the lack of progress, but a Democratic strategist suggests that things are more likely to advance in a crisis. The reparations task force is set to present their findings to Governor Gavin Newsom on July 1, but Newsom has already declined to support any specific recommendations. The panel has approved payments of up to $1.2 million for every qualifying Black resident, but some argue that supporting reparations means supporting police reform because of the history of policing's ties to slavery and slave patrols.

American Thinker: Saying 'no' to green energy: Mexico and South America must tap fossil fuels to fight poverty
Mexico, Brazil, and Peru are among the many countries focused on fossil fuel production to maintain economic stability despite pressure to adopt renewable energy. Mexico's government has approved a bill that prioritizes fossil fuels in its primary electricity supply over renewables to ensure economic growth. Similarly, Brazil is predicted to contribute 50% of the world's offshore oil in 2040, while Peru is ranked low in per capita energy consumption despite holding significant crude oil reserves. These developing countries will need to continue using fossil fuels to sustain growing energy demands and achieve economic advancement.

Fox News: Banks, Rubio introducing blanket ban on Pentagon funding for schools hosting CCP-tied Confucius Institutes
Republicans Rep. Jim Banks and Sen. Marco Rubio have introduced legislation to close loopholes allowing Department of Defense funding to go to universities hosting Chinese Communist Party (CCP)-linked Confucius Institutes. The No Federal Funding for CCP Spying and Persuasion in Education Settings Act would expand the prohibition on funding for international institutions of higher education that host Confucius Institutes and remove the ability to waive the prohibition through the Confucius Institute Waiver Program. The SPIES Act would amend the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2021 to remove the waivers and expand the prohibition to include American higher education institutions abroad.

American Thinker: Why does Google remind me of Worldcom?
Are companies like Google manipulating their numbers to inflate profits without actually creating value for shareholders? The Wall Street Journal reports that companies are using nontraditional ways to boost profits, such as reallocating costs, unwinding charges, and delaying depreciation. The article reminds us of past scandals like Waste Management and WorldCom. Meanwhile, the government has also been guilty of underestimating the costs of new programs, such as Obamacare and student loans. The only program that paid for itself was the Trump tax cuts, which actually increased revenues despite Democratic claims to the contrary.

Forbes: Apple Vision Pro Is Perfect For Lucrative Military Contracts. Apple Just Bought A Company That Can Help
Apple is targeting the military market for VR headsets with its new $3,500 face computer, the Vision Pro. The Air Force and military tend to use high-end VR devices for dome-type simulators, which, although fierce, come at a cheaper cost than live training. While the cost is still quite significant compared to typical VR devices, it is so much less than the cost of the hardware itself. The hardware provides a consistent experience, and in combination with the scalable use of games built in Unity, it's ideal for squadron and combined forces training.
The Epoch Times: Canadian Military Attended Recent Five Eyes Forum on UFOs, Say Feds
The Canadian Armed Forces attended a recent Five Eyes forum on "unidentified anomalous phenomena" with the US Pentagon's UFO research program. The meeting, held in May, was described as informal, and the Department of National Defence did not specify which members of the Canadian military attended.

NATO is set to conduct its largest-ever military exercise from June 12-23 with 25 nations contributing their air forces to the drill named "Air Defender 23."
