Townhall: Mike Pence's Ill-Starred Presidential Run
Mike Pence, former Vice President and candidate for the 2024 Republican nomination, faces a difficult situation as he tries to balance running on and running away from his record with President Donald Trump. At a recent Republican gathering in Iowa, none of the candidates, including Pence, mentioned Trump's name. Pence touted his accomplishments as Vice President without naming the President and only referenced "the first three years of an administration that Iowa supported every step of the way." He faces tough competition from conventional candidates like Ron DeSantis and Nikki Haley and is significantly behind in the polls.
The Epoch Times: Newsom Signs Bill Eliminating Union Vote-by-Mail for Farm Workers
California Gov. Gavin Newsom signed AB 113, which changes the state’s Agricultural Labor Relations Voting Choice Act, making it easier for farm workers to unionize. The new revisions maintain a card-check system, allowing workers to sign cards authorizing a union to represent them in collective bargaining. This could increase union membership among farm workers, but critics say the card-check system violates workers' right to a secret vote and could make it easier for unions to coerce and intimidate workers during union elections.
The Epoch Times: Instagram Reinstates RFK Jr.'s Account After He Questions the Ban on Twitter
Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s Instagram account has been restored three days after he claimed he was still banned. Kennedy, who is running for the Democratic presidential nomination, was barred in February 2021 for breaking the platform's COVID-19 rules. Instagram said that it had restored the account “as he is now an active candidate for president of the United States.” Kennedy is also the head of the Children’s Health Defense, which had its Facebook and Instagram accounts removed for violating COVID-19 policies. Kennedy is known for his vocal opposition to government and Big Tech censorship, advocating for the dangers of the COVID-19 vaccine.
On June 5, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. appeared in a live audio chat with Elon Musk to discuss censorship and reclaiming democracy. The former Twitter CEO, Jack Dorsey, endorsed Kennedy for president in 2024, citing his ability to defeat both former President Donald Trump and Florida governor, Ron DeSantis. Although the Democrat is not expected to receive support from the Democratic National Committee, he is already critical of mainstream media coverage of his campaign, claiming that they treat him like a "fringe candidate," while his numbers are better than DeSantis. Kennedy believes that social media is essential to democracy, stating that democratic access cannot function if some candidates are not permitted access to social media platforms.
Townhall: Woke Corporations Are Attacking American Values
Corporate leaders are making ill-fated decisions based on ideology instead of their duties to shareholders and customers, resulting in significant financial losses. Companies like Target and Bud Light have lost billions in market value after making controversial decisions that insult their customer base. Other corporations, such as Coors Light and Modelo, are taking the opportunity to gain market share. These corporations risk become irrelevant or non-existent if they fail to adjust to the needs of the market and consumers, or if they continue to pay the price of bowing down to political correctness.
MLB and Disney are among the corporations that faced backlash after taking a stance on political issues. MLB moved its All-Star game out of Atlanta in protest against Georgia election integrity legislation that mandated voter identification, causing major economic consequences for the greater Atlanta community. Disney faced lost perks in Florida laws that had benefited the company for decades after taking a stance against Florida’s Parental Rights in Education Act. These corporations and others must pay heed to the warning signs and remember their fiduciary duty to prioritize the interests of beneficiaries over their own. Millions of Americans are watching, and corporations risk falling into the same trap that has ensnared others before them.
The Epoch Times: Quebec Provincial Politicians Vote to Increase Base Pay by $30,000
The national assembly of Quebec voted to increase their salaries by $30,000 with the support of the Coalition Avenir Québec and Quebec Liberal Party. The Parti Québécois and Québec solidaire opposed it.
Flag And Cross: Chris Christie Enters 2024 Presidential Race As He Competes With Trump
Former New Jersey governor Chris Christie announces his candidacy for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, where he took swipes at GOP frontrunner Donald Trump and other Republican candidates. Christie stressed the importance of character, saying that it cannot be dismissed when electing leaders. He also championed the idea of going big rather than small and unifying the country. Christie managed fundraising for Republican candidates in the 1990s, supported George W. Bush’s White House bid and served as the U.S attorney for the district of New Jersey, but he became popular with the Republican base as a governor for cutting government programs and battling labor unions.
Townhall: LOL: Lori Lightfoot Lands Plum Gig Teaching ‘Health Policy and Leadership’ at Harvard
Lori Lightfoot, former mayor of Chicago, was a poor leader with a horrible performance during the COVID-19 pandemic, resulting in her unsuccessful reelection bid. Despite this, she has been appointed to teach health care policy at Harvard University as a Richard L. and Ronay A. Menschel Senior Leadership Fellow for the fall term. Lightfoot's handling of the pandemic was incompetent and dangerous for millions of Chicagoans, including children, and her policies resulted in the closure of small businesses while big box retailers remained open. Lightfoot's tenure as one of the worst mayors in Chicago history raises questions about the state of decay in today’s institutions of higher learning.
The American Spectator: Trump Proves the Importance of Memes
Trump shared a meme on Instagram mocking Ron DeSantis after the governor announced he will enter the Republican presidential primary. The video portrays DeSantis as supported by globalists, Satan and the corrupt FBI. The Atlantic credits Trump with using memes to tremendous effect in political campaigning. Effective memes are simple, recognizable and humorous, and memes can convey whole ideas for politicians quickly across broad populations. Therefore, memes are vital for staying relevant, spreading ideas and increasing support for political candidates.
Townhall: The Holes in Interpol – The Case of Alex Saab
The case of Alex Saab, a Venezuelan government envoy extradited to the United States in 2021, highlights the abuse of the Interpol system. Interpol's notices are used by law enforcement worldwide to indicate the level of threat an individual poses, with the most feared being the "Red Notice," leading to worldwide arrests of fugitives. While Russia and China are responsible for their own share of Red Notice violations, Saab's case is an example of the US abusing the system. Saab was a lawfully appointed Venezuelan diplomat on a humanitarian mission at the peak of the COVID pandemic whom the US wanted to obtain as a political pawn for other purposes.
Saab challenged his detention at the hands of Cape Verde in an international court of law and was released; however, his extradition to the US is still pending. China is using Interpol to get other nations to arrest Uyghurs who flee China’s concentration camps and are often prosecuted on made-up charges. Interpol, considered one of the most prestigious and oldest "global" organizations, has become an unlikely geopolitical tool used to enable and undermine the global order. While China abuses the Interpol system to suppress Uyghurs, the US has also used it to benefit from political bargaining chips at the expense of others, further weakening the diplomatic order.
The American Spectator: Trump Attacks Mimic the Guatemalan Left
Several Guatemalan presidential candidates campaigned in Los Angeles, hoping to gain votes from Guatemalans living in the United States. However, few candidates turned out for a candidate forum, leaving Southern California's Guatemalan community feeling frustrated and angry. One candidate, Carlos Pineda, led in the polls but was disqualified for violating electoral law. The region's tendency toward political corruption is not unique, as several Latin American countries have recently seen former presidents arrested or charged. Former President Donald Trump also faces federal indictment in D.C. and charges in Georgia and Florida, although the cases currently seem to make a stronger case against the government than against him.
Newsbusters: Scarborough Slams Liberals Lecturing Sen. Tim Scott on Being Black
Joe Scarborough and MSNBC analyst Eugene Robinson discuss the left's racism against black conservative Senator Tim Scott on Tuesday's episode of Morning Joe. Robinson believes Scott can have conservative beliefs on race relations and that no one can tell him how to be black. Scarborough agrees, stating that it is offensive when pundits mock and discredit Scott for his beliefs. However, Scarborough accuses the left of using Scott as a token to prove they are not racist and claims that some of his current and former fellow MSNBC hosts have been guilty of racially maligning Scott.

The American Spectator: The New York Times Is Coming for Your Kids
The New York Times for Kids recently released a "Puberty Issue" that promotes radical gender ideology and encourages children to explore changing their name and pronouns without consulting their parents. One spread illustrates memories of significant moments in puberty, including the unnatural "first time" a child realized their gender identity or told classmates they wanted to use different pronouns. The section also includes resources for exploring gender expression and sexual orientation, discouraging children from seeking guidance from their parents. The Left's grooming of children and demonization of parents is evident in the New York Times' propaganda, which would be better labeled with a "Parental Advisory, Explicit Content" warning.
The American Spectator: A Day of Pride Month 2053 in San Francisco, Mexico

During World War II, a team of six Allied meteorologists played a critical role in forecasting the weather for the long-awaited D-Day invasion of Normandy to ensure safe conditions for the Allies. High winds and poor visibility posed a significant threat to the invasion's success, and weather factors such as wind, visibility, and cloud cover would be crucial in the coming assault. On June 3, 1944, the team decided to postpone invasion plans due to unfavorable weather conditions, narrowly avoiding disaster. ( )

The Epoch Times: Iran's Embassy Reopens in Saudi Arabia for First Time in 7 Years
Iran has officially reopened its embassy in Saudi Arabia for the first time in seven years, following a deal to re-establish ties between the two countries after years of animosity. The reopening was marked by a ceremony attended by dozens of diplomats and officials, and according to Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister for Consular Affairs, Alireza Bikdeli, signifies an "important day in the relations" between the nations.

Foreign Policy: South Africa’s Putin Problem
South Africa may consider allowing China to host the August BRICS summit, eliminating diplomatic pressure on Pretoria. Russia's President Putin is due to participate in the meeting. Earlier this year, members of the International Criminal Court (ICC), including South Africa, were obliged to arrest Putin following the ICC's issuance of a warrant for his arrest for war crimes in Ukraine. If Putin attends the summit, it could negatively impact relations with the US, its largest trade partner after China. There has been speculation that Pretoria is exploring moving the summit to another BRICS member nation to avoid controversy and protect future foreign investment and trade, however, no decision has yet been made.

The Epoch Times: Government Have 'Given Up' on Fighting Inflation: Deputy Liberal Leader
Deputy Opposition leader Sussan Ley claims the Australian government has given up on controlling inflation and has no plans to address the issue, citing the need for affordable and reliable energy. Shadow treasurer Angus Taylor agrees, blaming the budget for contributing to inflation and undermining the Reserve Bank's efforts to control it. However, Finance Minister Katy Gallagher denies wages are creating the inflation problem and places Australia's inflation challenge on global factors, such as the Russia-Ukraine war. RBA governor Philip Lowe warns that compensating everyone for inflation will only drive inflation up further and that Australia must navigate a "narrow path" back to a two to three percent inflation rate.
The Epoch Times: Court Upholds Musk's Win in $13 Billion Lawsuit Over Tesla-SolarCity Deal
Tesla CEO Elon Musk did not push the company to overpay for SolarCity in 2016, according to the Delaware Supreme Court. After years of litigation regarding the $2.6 billion deal, Tesla shareholders had claimed that Musk had bailed out his investment in the struggling solar company by steering the carmaker’s board into the deal. The court found that a trial court had previously determined Tesla paid a fair price for SolarCity. The shareholders had wanted Musk to return the Tesla stock he received in the takeover, which at one point was worth $13 billion.
The Epoch Times: Subway Inks Deal for 4,000 New Sandwich Shops in China Over Next 20 Years
Subway plans to open 4,000 new restaurants in mainland China over the next 20 years through an agreement with Shanghai Fu-Rui-Shi. The sandwich chain aims to improve global sales, with increases of 12.1% in Q1 2019 and reduce discounted franchise offerings to boost profits. FRS, established by a mix of private investors, will handle all Subway locations in China. During this time, Starbucks will also open 3,000 new stores in China by 2025.
Townhall: If It’s Not Open Warfare, It’s Collusive Lawfare
The Biden Administration, aided by environmentalists, politicians, and corporations, is waging war on fossil fuels in an effort to transform America's energy and economic systems. This includes withdrawing areas from economic activities, banning leasing, drilling, and pipelines, and imposing costly regulatory standards. States and cities are also filing climate change lawsuits against oil and gas producers, which could create a legal, constitutional, scientific, and public policy nightmare. The push for renewables will require thousands of mines and processing facilities, and the process is greenhouse-gas-emitting and dirty.
Townhall: Americans Don’t Need Washington to Drive Up the Price of Air Travel
President Biden plans to propose a new rule requiring U.S. airlines to compensate passengers with meals, hotels, and vouchers when cancellations or delays are caused by the airlines. This comes after Congress proposed the "Airline Passengers’ Bill of Rights" earlier this year, which includes the same stipulations and sets a $1,350 compensation threshold for passengers involuntarily denied boarding. However, enforcing these regulations would likely increase the price of airfare and burden airlines. Congress should focus on deregulating the industry to improve competition and reduce costs for airlines and consumers.

Spectator USA: How to solve the military recruitment crisis
The US military is facing its worst recruiting crisis in 50 years, with multiple factors contributing to the problem. A strong civilian labor market, the effects of Covid, a shrinking pool of eligible recruits and declining interest in joining the military are all factors. The result has been a decline in personnel numbers, particularly for the Army, which failed to meet its recruiting goal by 25% in fiscal year 2022. Experts warn that the lack of personnel is a serious threat to readiness and national security.

Flag And Cross: Poor Air Quality Grips The New York Metropolitan Area As The Canadian Wildfire Goes On
Smoke from Canadian wildfires has created an orange haze over parts of the East, including New York City. Photos and videos of the eerie glow flooded social media, but the smoke has also caused air quality alerts for several states, prompting officials to warn people with heart or lung diseases, children, and adults over 65 to limit their time outdoors. The air quality was rated as “unhealthy,” and asthma conditions were rated as “very high” in the affected areas. As of early June, more than 8 million acres of land have been scorched by wildfires across Canada.
Townhall: Paul, Cruz Stand Up to Big Pharma
Big Pharma is pushing for the PBM Transparency Act, which would regulate pharmacy benefit managers and reduce their leverage in drug price negotiations. However, conservative Republicans such as Sen. Rand Paul and Sen. Ted Cruz oppose the bill due to concerns that it could lead to increased drug prices for consumers. They also argue that PBMs benefit consumers by lowering drug prices and that the bill is influenced by campaign contributions from the pharmaceutical industry. The fate of the drug pricing accountability movement rests on the principled members of Congress who will work together to rectify inequities in the drug market.

Gataway Couple: 5 Reasons Truckers Dislike RVers
Truckers and RVers have differences in their driving behaviors, choices of lifestyle, and attitudes towards each other. Some truckers harbor negative feelings towards RVers due to distracted driving, exceeding vehicle towing capabilities, inconsiderate parking, impatient driving, and not using turn signals. However, not all truckers dislike RVers as some appreciate them for understanding how difficult it is to navigate a big rig on the open road. To avoid angering truckers during an RVing adventure, RVers should always give plenty of space, use turn signals, be patient, avoid sudden braking, and take safety seriously.

The Epoch Times: Industry, Conservationists Welcome Ottawa's Delay on BC Salmon Farm Transition Plan
Canada's Fisheries Minister, Joyce Murray, has extended consultations on the transition from open-net salmon farms to the end of summer after requests from First Nations and other interested parties. Environmental and Indigenous groups claim that the farms contribute to the transfer of disease to wild salmon, while industry representatives argue thousands of jobs are threatened if operations are phased out. Murray's decision to extend consultations has been praised for giving her more time to consider closing a bureau that supports thousands of jobs, but has also been criticised for deviating from the process agreed upon and not taking the salmon farming issue seriously.

Flag And Cross: As Historic Canadian Wildfire Season Rages As The Haze Of Smoke Moves Into The U.S.
Wildfires have set millions of acres ablaze across Canada so far in 2023. The fires have forced tens of thousands of people to evacuate and caused firefighters to work around the clock. As of early June, more than 8 million acres of land have been scorched by wildfires across Canada this year, according to the Canadian Interagency Forest Fire Centre (CIFFC).
Wide-reaching smoke will continue to have significant implications on air quality thousands of miles away. AccuWeather forecasters say a dip in the jet stream will send smoke pouring southward out of Canada and into the northern and eastern U.S. for much of this week. Smoke in place across levels of the atmosphere above the surface can often contribute to vivid sunrises and sunsets.
The American Spectator: A Tale of Two Disparate Cities in Switzerland
Switzerland lacks the artistic masterpieces of Italy or brotherly love of Switzerland, but it does produce blue-chip theologians. A trip to Zürich and Lausanne left a journalist uninspired by graffiti, shabby neighborhoods, and mildly unsafe areas in Zürich, but charmed by cobblestone streets and picturesque buildings in Lausanne. Reflecting on the brevity of life, the journalist ponders if his journey came as a result of a friend who journeyed there to end her life legally with euthanasia.
