Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is gaining momentum as a potential 2024 Democratic presidential candidate, with recent polls showing him receiving up to 20% of support from Democratic-leaning voters. Despite concerns from some within the party that Kennedy is a "problematic fringe candidate who freely spreads conspiracy theories," others warn against underestimating him as his famous political dynasty name could garner steam and distract from re-electing President Biden. Kennedy has named former Rep. Dennis Kucinich as his campaign manager.
The New American: If Trump Adopts This Idea, He Will Win the Presidency. - The New American
Wayne Allyn Root proposes the idea that politicians and government officials should take periodic, random lie detector tests to weed out traitors, corrupt officials and those on foreign payrolls. According to Root, the entire political system and U.S. government could be exposed as traitors to the American people through these tests. He suggests asking questions such as whether they are on China's or Mexican drug cartels' payroll, or if they take any illegal campaign contributions. If politicians refuse to take the tests, they should be fired. This idea has the potential to save America from destruction and collapse at the hands of our enemies, according to Root.

Forbes: Potential Antitrust Investigation Into LIV Golf Merger Could Be Boon For National Security Interests
Antitrust regulators may use the proposed LIV Golf and PGA Tour merger as an opportunity to investigate Saudi business interests. The Hart-Scott-Rodino Act requires companies of certain size to submit paperwork and relevant documents to the federal antitrust agencies prior to a merger. If materials submitted raise concerns, the Department of Justice or Federal Trade Commission may inquire further. The merger is likely to spark a Second Request for Information as it would create or strengthen a monopoly in golf, and potentially lessen competition in the industry. This investigation could also provide insight into the financial structure of LIV Golf's payout, including its relationship with the Trump Organization, with possible national security implications.
The merger could lead to an uncomfortable merger review process for senior management, although LIV Golf and PGA Tour may abandon the merger or structure it differently to avoid Hart-Scott-Rodino filing. If the proposed merger goes forward, it may mark the start of a new chapter in the unusual legal saga involving the two golf associations. Though not generally a review of national security, the investigation into competitive conditions may lead to further disclosure of the financial structure of LIV Golf and its payout structure to tour operators, such as the Trump Organization. There is a possibility that regulators may not file a Second Request for Information, but that would be unlikely in this case.
The Epoch Times: China’s Exports Declined by 7.5 Percent in May as Demand for Goods Wanes
China's exports fell 7.5% YoY in May, marking the biggest slump since January, due to declining global demand for Chinese goods. Exports to most countries, including the US, fell by double-digits, while imports contracted 4.5%. China's monthly global trade surplus fell 16.1% to $65.8bn, well below expectations, meaning that China must rely on domestic demand as the global economy slows. Inflation has reportedly only been 0.1% in China, while GDP growth is expected to be 5% this year, after recording the second-lowest rate in decades at 3% last year.

Liberty Nation: HollyWeird: Disney Princess Noses Are Offensive?
Disney princesses have come under fire for their "cute button noses", which fans claim reinforces harmful stereotypes of what makes a character "good" or "evil". Comparing the noses of Ariel and her sisters to those of villains Ursula, Jafar and Cruella de Vil, one TikTok user argued that the "crooked" snouts were a sign the villains were "ugly" and to be disliked. Some commenters said the styling was "confusing" and had left them with low self-esteem. But others weren't convinced: "has anyone ever associated hooked noses with [villains] due to Disney?" asked one.
Disney's focus on "same-face syndrome" in its animated and human princesses -- where Cinderella, Aurora and other early Disney protagonists had similar designs to Snow White and Sarah Daniels, a former Disney parks and cruises cast member, once observed that "There’s a thousand white women who look like Cinderella” -- has also come under scrutiny. While Daniels agreed being a Disney princess was a "coveted thing", it was not "a magical thing". Disney has recently come under criticism for being overly "woke".

The Epoch Times: Supreme Court Leaves Social Media Liability Shield Untouched
The Supreme Court's recent rulings in Twitter Inc. v. Taamneh and Gonzalez v. Google LLC didn't address Section 230 of the federal Communications Decency Act of 1996, which currently prevents internet platforms and ISPs from being liable for user content. The decisions left the legal status quo in place, although both parties have complaints about what content should be moderated. Justice Clarence Thomas has repeatedly suggested the Supreme Court revisit Section 230, but took a pass on this opportunity. Two state social media statutes are still winding through the courts and may be heard by the Supreme Court at some point.

However, some have criticized Twitter for putting many of these features behind its $8-per-month paywall.

National Review: Chris Licht Out as CNN CEO as Staffers Rebel against Efforts to Revamp Network’s Lefty Image
CNN CEO Chris Licht steps down amid growing criticism over the network's Donald Trump town hall and The Atlantic profile. Licht had fewer allies with each passing day. He attempted to reshape the network by promising a reset with Republican voters, resulting in moving Kaitlan Collins from CNN's morning show to a primetime host, which backfired. Staffers openly criticized Licht for the town hall, and The Atlantic profile was also criticized. CNN's financial performance in general was in freefall, generating only $750 million in profit last year, down from $1.25 billion the year before.
