Fox News: NYT columnist blames DeSantis' failure to 'cultivate' relationships with reporters for critical coverage
NY Times columnist Jamelle Bouie suggests media attacks on Gov. Ron DeSantis come from his team’s failure to "cultivate" a relationship with the press. Bouie noted how the press tries to embarrass DeSantis, likely due to his team’s "hostile" relationship with media. DeSantis was criticized for "weird" and "awkward" behavior with voters, further solidifying the image of him being "weird and awkward."
The Epoch Times: ‘Most Partisan, Most Political’: Ted Cruz Accuses AG Merrick Garland of Harboring Hatred Against Trump
Sen. Ted Cruz believes that Attorney General Merrick Garland dislikes Donald Trump so much that he will indict the former president for obstruction of justice. Cruz claims that Garland has corrupted the Department of Justice and the FBI, turning them into an arm of the Democratic National Committee. He also asserts that Garland will use Hunter Biden as a scapegoat to justify targeting Trump and protect Joe Biden. Cruz has pointed out the hypocrisy in how Trump and Biden were treated when it came to possessing classified documents, with Trump being raided while Biden was not.
The House Judiciary Committee is investigating the FBI raid of Mar-a-Lago, and Cruz has sent a letter to Garland asking for a breakdown and explanation of the parameters related to the investigation of Mar-a-Lago. Trump's attorneys have also written a letter to Garland, asking for a meeting to discuss what they believe is an "ongoing injustice" being meted out against Trump. Meanwhile, Garland has appointed special counsel Jack Smith to handle two investigations related to Trump, one about the former president's handling of classified documents at his Florida property and the second on his alleged interference with the transfer of power.
The Epoch Times: Two Tiers of Justice
The US government has created a two-tier system of justice, with the elites at the top and everyone else below. Despite the hard work of those on the ground, the leadership has broken the law and eroded justice. This issue transcends political party lines and is a threat to American democracy and constitutional values. The only way to hold these corrupt leaders accountable is through Congress' oversight authority and by utilizing the budgeting process to bring agencies back in line. Congress must produce critical documents and hold corrupt leaders accountable with the power of the American people's tax dollars.
The Epoch Times: Footnote in Durham Report Reveals Existence of FBI Report Used to Start Trump Russia Investigation | Truth Over News
Peter Strzok, the lead investigator in both the Hillary Clinton email and Trump-Russia investigations, has been linked to inconsistencies in the FBI's report that prompted the Trump-Russia probe. Strzok spent months editing the official record of General Michael Flynn's interview and is now being accused of altering the report on what an Australian diplomat allegedly told the FBI, which led to the opening of the investigation.
The Epoch Times: How the FBI Lost, Found, and Rewarded the Alleged Russian Spy Pivotal to Surveilling Trump
Former Brookings Institution analyst Igor Danchenko was falsely recruited by Brian Auten, the FBI’s top Russian analyst, who arranged to pay him $220,000 to target Donald Trump and his former adviser, Carter Page. Auten never informed the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC) of the FBI’s longstanding concerns about Danchenko, or that he had previously helped Christopher Steele compile the dossier. Auten also failed to properly vet the Steele dossier, the central piece of evidence used by the FBI to obtain warrants to spy on Page, and failed to disclose critical information prior to submitting a FISA renewal request.
Breitbart: Biden Administration Blocks Disclosure of 2020 Election Censorship Docs
The Biden Administration is blocking the release of documents that reveal deep state interference in the 2020 election through social media censorship. The government is specifically trying to stop the release of documents from the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) and the Election Integrity Partnership (EIP).
Red State: The Amazing Shift of Never-Trump Stalwarts Into Trump Inc. Acolytes Today
Eleven people have announced their intention to run for the GOP presidential ticket in 2024, with Donald Trump and Ron DeSantis dominating the discourse. Some self-proclaimed defenders of the conservative legacy have become fawning sycophants towards Trump and praise him, despite claiming to oppose him. This exposes the sham of these groups in their claim of conservative preservation principles, as they have never promoted a preferred conservative candidate. What they share is a common goal – a Trump victory – as he is needed for them to continue with their "justified" outrage and ensure job security.
Daily Wire: ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith Mocks Idea Of Biden As Dems’ ‘Best Candidate’ For 2024
Sports commentator Stephen A. Smith criticized Democrats for endorsing Joe Biden as their "best candidate" for the 2024 presidential election. During his appearance on Fox News's "Hannity," Smith expressed his preference for former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie and called it "embarrassing" that the Democrats had chosen Biden, citing his age and lack of impressive qualities as reasons. Smith, who identifies as a registered independent, doubled down on his remarks from a recent podcast episode, stating that while he wasn't engaging in ageism, the presidency is a job that someone in their 80s may not be suited for.
The Right Scoop: BREAKING: DOJ tells Trump he’s likely to be indicted
Former President Donald Trump has been informed by federal prosecutors that he is a criminal target and may soon be indicted for alleged classified documents violations. The Justice Department is said to have declined to delay charges against Trump to investigate allegations of witness tampering leveled by his legal team. A federal grand jury could bring a historic indictment against the 45th president as early as this week, with charges possibly involving a violation of 18 U.S. Code Chapter 37 Section 793, as well as false statements and obstruction of justice.
Washington Free Beacon: Biden CDC Official Was at Center of Cuomo Nursing Home Deaths Scandal
Former New York health commissioner responsible for pandemic nursing home orders that caused deaths works at the CDC under Biden.

Foreign Policy: Sweden Pushes to Fast-Track Delayed NATO Bid
Sweden is set to join NATO as its newest member, with the possibility of approval coming during an upcoming alliance summit in July. The move comes in response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine, and with Finland already a member and all of Sweden's neighbours in the fold, European officials describe Sweden as the final piece of the puzzle in fully integrating northern Europe's defence. Becoming a full-fledged member of NATO would mean the biggest change in how NATO prepares its defences in northeastern Europe, including extending NATO’s collective defence protection to Sweden and integrating forces at the nuts-and-bolts level.
Euromaidan Press: Germany provides Ukraine with all-terrain vehicles and ammo

Fox News: Mitch McConnell doesn't believe PGA Tour merger with Saudi-backed LIV Golf has 'governmental concern'
The PGA Tour has announced a merger with Saudi Public Investment Fund (PIF) and DP World Tour, as it seeks to unify golf globally. However, the move has drawn criticism from some senators due to human rights concerns associated with Saudi Arabia. Senate Minority Leader, Mitch McConnell, has said he does not believe governmental intervention will be necessary. PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan called it a historic partnership that would benefit all stakeholders in the sport.
The Epoch Times: China Will 'Militarize' Tech Stolen from US: Ambassador
China's communist regime continues to steal American intellectual property and critical technologies like artificial intelligence and quantum computing, which would have crucial military importance in the future, according to U.S. Ambassador to China Nicholas Burns. Burns believes this persistent theft of intellectual property is making it increasingly difficult for the United States and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) to peacefully compete. Rep. Mike Gallagher (R-Wis.) believes that to counter the CCP regime's malign influence, the United States must meld its strategies for military, economic, and ideological competition together, using the "right mix of sticks and carrots." The Biden administration is skeptical that trying to pursue economic engagement and diplomatic detente with China will work, but instead, the United States would need to invest in overseas development and get a seat at the table of many multilateral institutions in the region. The CCP's campaigns of technology theft and repression do give the United States some advantages, however, because other Asian countries are also becoming increasingly wary of the CCP's bellicosity.
Newsbusters: New Twitter Files Upend CNN’s Ridiculous Gaslighting on Big Tech-Gov’t Censorship
CNN is accused of being a Big Tech-Big Government shill after publishing a press release from Twitter’s lawyers, who refute claims of censorship by Musk and many Republicans. Just a day later, The Grayzone News host Aaron Maté released a batch of “New Twitter Files” showing that the FBI actively assisted Ukrainian intelligence in censoring Twitter users and journalists accused of spreading so-called “disinformation”. This is perhaps the most damning story about the FBI and Twitter Files journalist Matt Taibbi called it outrageous as it provides further evidence the FBI is out of control.
CNN has been accused of peddling an excuse for the FBI's flagging of specific problematic tweets to Twitter leadership in an alleged attempt to censor Americans' constitutionally protected free speech. Although the FBI's flagging of problematic tweets was merely suggestions that they might violate Twitter’s terms of service, Twitter's lawyers continue to refute claims of censorship, saying the Twitter Files don't contain a specific government demand to remove content. Meanwhile, media pundits who dismissed the Twitter Files of Big Tech-Big Government censorship collusion earlier have been called out, yet again, for their silence.
The Blaze: Europeans unwilling to back US in war with China: Poll
Europeans do not want to take sides in a hypothetical US-China war, instead preferring to remain neutral. Only 25% would want their country or Europe to support the US. Some Europeans recognize China as an ally, while others view it as a rival or adversary. However, most believe neutrality is an appealing idea, with 62% wanting to remain neutral. Some European leaders, like French President Emmanuel Macron, prioritize close economic relations with China, even if that means compromising with allied nations.
Breitbart: Comer: FBI Doc Alleges 'Business Person from Ukraine' Sent 'Substantial Bribe' to VP Biden
The FBI's informant file on a $5 million bribery scheme allegedly linked to President Joe Biden concerns his family's business deals in Ukraine. The file involves a Ukrainian business person who allegedly sent a substantial bribe to then Vice President Joe Biden. Biden served as the Obama administration's Ukrainian "point person" and visited Ukraine six times while in office. Hunter Biden joined the board of Ukrainian energy company Burisma in 2014 and earned $83,000 per month. Joe Biden threatened to withhold $1 billion from Ukraine if the Ukrainian government did not fire the prosecutor investigating Burisma.
The Epoch Times: Acquiescence to China's Demands Is a Precursor for Diplomatic Talks
The Chinese Communist Party and the United States have preconditions for diplomatic talks between the two countries. The Chinese “guardrails” stem from “blunt talks” between Xi and President Joe Biden in Bali, Indonesia, at the G-20 Summit in November 2022, as expanded upon in a China Daily article on June 3. The so-called “five noes” mentioned by Biden in Indonesia is a huge giveaway by the Biden administration that probably made Xi and his underlings giddy. The United States should add to its precondition for continuing diplomatic discussions.
The United States should add to its precondition for continuing diplomatic discussions. Adherence to international laws and the right of free passage, self-determination of peoples, guaranteeing human rights to life, liberty, property, and free expression, outlawing the theft of intellectual property, and cessation of CCP efforts to extend its national security law to the citizens of Chinese descent in other countries, as well as putting in any American preconditions for the talks. Chinese acquiescence to the above U.S. guardrails would be a welcomed move by the whole world, not just the United States, however, straight-up acquiescence to “guardrails with Chinese characteristics” should be a non-starter in any future U.S.-China meetings.
National Review: The Corner: The Latest Saudi Headache for the U.S.: Improving Relations with Iran
Saudi Arabia has purchased golf and survived Biden's disapproval while forming a joint navy with Iran and China. Iran is reopening its embassy in Riyadh, signaling a new era of cooperation and potentially aligning with China in a Saudi-Iranian axis. Implications for American allies, notably Israel, remain unclear.

The Epoch Times: Campaigners Concerned Post-COVID Care Visitation Law Could 'Hardwire Restrictions'
Campaigners are concerned that a proposed law requiring health and care providers to allow a service user to be accompanied by at least one essential care supporter could "normalise restrictive practices." Labor MP Dan Carden's proposed Gloria's Law would place a duty on providers to allow unrestricted in-person support from at least one care supporter of a patient's choice. However, chair of The Social Care Working Group at the Together Association Amanda Hunter said the law could inadvertently reduce the rights and freedoms of care recipients and their families. She said there should be no limits on the number of visitors, regardless of their role in providing care.
Spectator USA: Meet Mandy Cohen, the Fauci fangirl Biden wants to head the CDC
Mandy Cohen is rumored to be President Joe Biden's chosen successor for the Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). However, there is concern about her political agenda and draconian COVID-19 lockdown measures, with critics pointing to her support for school lockdowns, mandating masks for school children, and shutting down religious services and fun. Cohen also allegedly has a history of prosecuting political vendettas. Her likely nomination has not gone over well with North Carolina Republicans who view her as a political activist physician, rather than a credible scientist.

Flag And Cross: Sniffer Dog Tracks Down This Endangered Species To Keep Them Alive
Freya, a highly skilled sniffer dog, is helping scientists track down critically endangered great crested newts. The six-year-old English springer spaniel can use her nose to detect the semi-aquatic creatures, even when they're hiding underground. Great crested newts are a species of special conservation concern, and much is still unknown about their life on land. They breed in ponds and spend much of their lives in various environments across England and Wales. The loss of ponds across the country has reduced their numbers. Freya's success in sniffing out the newts could make her a valuable asset to conservation projects.

The Epoch Times: Vancouver Island Road Closed, Campfire Bans, as Drought Raises Wildfire Risks in BC
Wildfires continue to spread in British Columbia, with the only major highway connecting Port Alberni, Tofino and Ucluelet closed due to a nearly one-square-kilometre blaze. Two new fires have also been spotted in northeastern B.C. Crews are battling the fires with heavy equipment, helicopters and crews, and campfires will be banned across the province, except for Haida Gwaii and the southeast and northwest corners. With over 80 active fires reported, most of which are burning in the Prince George fire centre covering north-central and northeastern B.C., the wildfire service is stretched.
The Epoch Times: Ford Urges Ontarians Not to Light Campfires as Crews Battle Wildfires in 'Full Force'
Premier Doug Ford urged Ontarians to refrain from lighting campfires due to 54 ongoing wildfires in the province and degraded air quality from fires in Quebec. Half of the fires are started by lightning strikes and the other half are caused by human activity such as not properly extinguishing campfires. NDP Leader Marit Stiles questioned Ford about the impact of climate change on the fires but Ford said he was “in shock” that Stiles would politicize the wildfires. Much of the province is under a fire ban, though not all of it. Minister of Natural Resources and Forestry Graydon Smith said people need to take personal responsibility and ensure they do not have any unintentionally set, man-made fires.
The Epoch Times: Huge Wildfire in Southwestern Nova Scotia 'Being Held' After Burning for 11 Days
Nova Scotia’s largest-ever wildfire is no longer moving, according to the province’s Natural Resources Department. The fire, which lasted 11 days and destroyed almost 60 homes and cottages, was being held and was expected to remain static if damp conditions continued, according to a statement. An aerial survey had provided an accurate picture of the fire, which reduced the estimated size of the blaze from 230 to 200 square kilometres. More than half of Shelburne County’s population were among the 6,700 people evacuated from their homes. Fire crews were continuing to extinguish smouldering areas, after 100 millimetres of rainfall.

The Federalist Papers: Mystery Health Issue Explored As Cause of Plane Crash That Killed Trump Donors' Family, Scrambled F-16s
A private plane that crashed in Virginia is suspected to have caused the deaths of the pilot and three passengers due to hypoxia. Flight control lost contact with the Cessna Citation jet 15 minutes after takeoff from Tennessee, with the jet continuing to fly up to 34,000 feet before turning towards Washington, D.C. The plane was likely on autopilot, with six F-16 jets launched to intercept it. An investigation is underway to determine how the cabin was depressurized, and why the pilot was unable to put on his oxygen mask, as hypoxia typically gives pilots 30 to 60 seconds to put on oxygen masks.
