The Blaze: Deadspin OUTS ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith as Republican
Stephen A. Smith is facing criticism over his political views after saying on his podcast that he does not believe Joe Biden is fit for the presidency due to his age. Deadspin wrote a scathing article calling Smith a “pseudo mouthpiece” for the Republican party and suggesting he wants nothing more than to be a “rich white man” with all the privileges that come with it. Despite the backlash, others believe that Smith is only playing “Republican-light” to broaden his audience and avoid being swept up in Disney’s “wokeness.”
Flag And Cross: GOP Senator Powerfully Stumps Biden Nominee: 'C'mon ... Don't Make Me Do This'
Senator Hawley grills Biden's nominee Loren AliKhan over her failed defense of D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser's attempts to keep the Capitol Hill Baptist Church from conducting services during COVID-19 lockdowns. Judge AliKhan is left speechless as Hawley exposes the left's hostility towards religious freedom under the pretext of protecting against the pandemic. Hawley's master class demonstrates how progressives need to be called out on their hypocrisy, rejected publicly, and their records exposed to limit the spread of their poison in federal courts.
Breitbart: EXCLUSIVE: Moms for Liberty Slams ‘Extremist’ Label from SPLC
The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) has labeled Moms for Liberty and 11 other parental rights groups as “extremist” and “antigovernment” for attacking public education. Moms for Liberty co-founder Tina Descovich slammed the move, calling it a “coordinated attack against the parents’ rights movement” and questioning why the FBI and Justice Department are not “concerned about an organization that is literally putting targets on the backs of everyday moms that are standing up for their children.” Many Republicans, including presidential hopefuls Nikki Haley and Ron DeSantis, have come to Moms for Liberty’s defense, with Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) calling the decision “absurd” and Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) calling the SPLC “a corrupt slush fund devoted to defamation.”

National Review: The Corner: The View’s Sunny Hostin Blames Mike Pence for Killing People With A.I.D.S. — When He Was a Talk Radio Host
During a tense exchange on The View, panelist Sunny Hostin accused Mike Pence, the Republican candidate for Vice President, of mishandling the AIDS crisis while he was governor of Indiana. However, this claim directly contradicts the timeline of Pence’s political career, as he was not yet in office when Hostin was at university in Indiana. The incident highlights concerns about misinformation on mainstream media, as The View is a major network and viewed by millions of people.
Breitbart: Report: Fox Says Tucker Violated Contract, Aims to Sideline Him Through 2024
Fox News has accused Tucker Carlson of violating his contract by sharing his thoughts on current events on social media and plans to take legal action against him. Carlson's lawyers received a letter from Fox News on June 7th citing his contract that prohibits him from rendering services online or through digital distribution. Fox News aims to sideline Carlson until 2025, which could silence the conservative media voice during the next presidential election, according to the network's senior executive. Carlson recently criticized the establishment media's coverage of the Ukraine-Russia war, but the network did not comment on whether his statements led to the proposed legal action.
The Blaze: Newsom and other leftists enraged after school board president said Harvey Milk was a 'pedophile'
The president of Temecula school board in California opposed elements of a new social studies curriculum for elementary schools being piloted by teachers and approved by the California Department of Education. Dr. Joseph Komrosky, Jennifer Wiersma, and Danny Gonzalez signaled their opposition, citing a lack of parental input and inappropriate content. Gonzalez alerted the board to a writ concerning a pedophilic activist in the course materials. Homosexual icon Harvey Milk was a pedophile having a proclivity for male minors, according to his biographer Randy Shilts. Governor of California, Gavin Newsom, criticized Komrosky on Twitter, insisting children “have the freedom to learn.” The board refused to implement the new curriculum at present, citing a lack of parent and community feedback on the TCI-published text materials.

Cain said that despite loving California, the policies are "just terrible" and have "driven out anybody who can really afford to get out."

The Epoch Times: Receding Polar Ice Cap Opening Arctic Trade Routes, Creating New Realm for Naval Conflict
The receding ice cap in the Arctic is opening up new sea lanes, which promise to shorten shipping routes and boost global trade, and also open up a new realm of warfare in a previously inaccessible ocean. The US, its NATO allies, and Pacific partners must scale up their combined presence in the Arctic Ocean and better develop its polar war-fighting capacities or risk ceding this increasingly vital realm to Russia, said U.S. Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Michael Gilday, who has been lobbying to establish a regular rotation of joint exercises to practice defending these emerging sea lanes.
The Epoch Times: Ex-National Security Advisor Says He's 'Not Surprised' Intel on Beijing Meddling Didn't Reach Politicians
Former National Security and Intelligence Advisor Vincent Rigby testified to a Canadian House of Commons committee on June 8 that he was "not surprised" an intelligence report about Beijing's threat to Canadian Members of Parliament never reached Canada's Prime Minister. The Canadian Press first reported in early May that the Canadian Security Intelligence Service assessed Beijing threats to MPs, but the intelligence was not passed along to the government's highest officials. Rigby told the committee a more formal system is necessary to flag important pieces of intelligence to elected officials. His recommendations included creating a director of national intelligence position within the Privy Council Office.
The Blaze: Biden admin denies reports that China plans to build spy facility in Cuba to gather intelligence on United States
China signed a secret agreement with Cuba to build a spy facility on the island that would be used to gather intelligence on the United States, including electronic communications from the southeastern region that hosts many military bases. The Wall Street Journal reported that China has agreed to pay Cuba several billion dollars for the facility's construction and operation. However, a spokesperson for the National Security Council denied the accuracy of the report, stating that they remain focused on mitigating any threats from China in the region. (, )
Red State: Report: Cuba Grants China Permission to Build Spying Facility, Threatening US National Security
Cuba has granted permission to China to build an eavesdropping base on the island, which would allow them to intercept electronic communications throughout the southeastern United States. Reports suggest that China has already built "secret police stations" within the US, and the U.S. Department of Defense is currently intercepting Chinese reconnaissance flights close to China's airspace. The revelation of a potential Chinese outpost in Cuba comes at a time when relations between the United States and China have deteriorated.
The Epoch Times: It’s Time to End Permanent Normal Trade Relations With China
The US is shifting away from economic engagement with China due to the risk it poses. Suggestions to reset the trade relationship with China include revoking its permanent normal trade relations which would allow Congress to determine an appropriate tariff rate on Chinese imports beyond the Section 301 tariffs. The trade deficit with China has resulted in the loss of over 3.7 million American jobs and revisiting PNTR is one recommendation to accelerate American manufacturing’s return and reduce dependencies on China. Congress must acknowledge that China has consistently demonstrated that it doesn't deserve the same trade status as US allies due to its state-controlled neo-mercantilism, subsidies, industrial espionage, and forced labor.

Red State: Bud Light's Nightmare Plunge Continues, and What Distributors Are Saying Is Even Worse
Bud Light is facing a sales drop of almost 30%. The latest industry figures show a 23.9% reduction in sales value and a 27.8% reduction in sales volume year-on-year in the week ending May 27. Almost two-thirds of beer distributors said Anheuser-Busch sales volumes were down on Memorial Day, while 62% said inventories are significantly higher in a survey. Bud Light risks also losing the “number one beer in America” title to Modelo Especial.
The Epoch Times: IRS Sends Incorrect Payment Due Notices to Taxpayers
The IRS sent out millions of CP-14 letters demanding payment on unpaid taxes but some of the notices had incorrect payment dates listed. The IRS acknowledged the issue and stated that these letters include a special insert that features the correct payment deadline, which was extended under special tax relief to taxpayers in federally declared disaster zones. The disaster-relief extension, which included deadline extensions to file tax returns and pay amounts due, has caused CP-14 balance due notices with erroneous deadlines to bombard taxpayers in disaster-declared areas like California. The IRS said that current CP-14 mailings are part of a legal requirement and any confusion is being reviewed.
The Epoch Times: ‘Worsening’ Trade Could Adversely Affect US GDP as Deficit Jumps to Highest Level in Six Months
The US trade deficit reached a six-month high in April with a $14bn rise to $74.6bn. This means that GDP growth could be negatively affected during the quarter. Export figures for April were down $9.2bn on March at $249bn, while imports showed a $4.8bn growth to $323.6bn. Many financial experts have said the terms of trade are worsening, leading the quarter’s real GDP growth estimates to drop. China remains the US's biggest trade deficit contributor at $24.2bn, while the Netherlands provided a surplus of $4.2bn. The growth of the country's trade deficit could create unemployment, cause deflationary risks and negatively affect GDP.
The Epoch Times: High Interest Rates, High Inflation, and Record Debt
The US economy faces a perfect storm as rising mortgage rates, rent prices and household debt coincide. This follows an era of cheap money that has left banks tightening lending requirements. Meanwhile, inflation is on the rise, hitting working people's savings and making repayment of debt more difficult. The major effect is the decline in the purchasing power of the dollar.
A large recession is predicted to likely hit the US due to factors including confidence in leadership, unclear policies, political instability, and the addition of $4tn to the country's debt, almost guaranteeing a recession. Experts predict a contracting money supply, credit tightening, a yield curve, and swooning leading indicators, which introduce textbook scenarios for a recession. Deutsche Bank predicts a peak to trough decline of 1.25% in US GDP, more aggressive than what most experts agree on. The chances of a monetary overturn increase with disparities in policy making, and the excessive monetary inflations have only put off the inevitable.

Spectator USA: The expendable Expendables: how has Hollywood’s least essential franchise persisted?
The Expendables, a film franchise featuring an ensemble cast of Hollywood tough guys, has released a trailer for its fourth installment called Expend4bles, slated for release in September. The first Expendables instalment, released in 2010 and starring Sylvester Stallone and Jason Statham, grossed $275m worldwide, but its most recent third chapter suffered poor reviews and low box office returns, despite being given a less-violent rating to appeal to a wider audience. In Expend4bles, despite the loss of big names such as Arnold Schwarzenegger and Harrison Ford, Stallone and his cast will once again indulge in highly violent and outdated action sequences, separated from a Hollywood ecosystem that is increasingly innovative, diverse, multicultural, and eco-friendly, with 2021 sequels John Wick 4 and Mission: Impossible 7 set to set new box office standards.

The Epoch Times: Archaeologists Find Remnants of Lost German City Said to Be Destroyed by Divine Retribution
Archaeologists found a church in a medieval city in Germany, mapping out the lost city of Rungholt, said to be destroyed by divine intervention due to the moral depravity of its people. The city was drowned in a storm surge in 1362, and the settlement also had two smaller churches, a seadike, a tidal gate harbor, and drainage systems. Rungholt is referred to as the “Atlantis of the North” and was confirmed to have existed in 1938. The special feature of the find is the significance of the church as the center of the settlement structure, and its size must be interpreted as a parish with a superordinate function.
Several coastal cities across the world have been swallowed by the sea over time, including India's mythical city of Dwaraka, believed to be the early residence of Hindu deity Krishna, which sunk thousands of years ago. There are potential ruins off the coast of Gujarat, which scientists excavated in the 1980s and discovered walls, pillars, streets, and pottery. Israel is home to the world’s oldest submerged site, the 9,000-year-old Neolithic village at Atlit Yam, while in Egypt, excavators discovered a city dating back to 12th century B.C. Named Thonis-Heracleion, the city, which used to be a port, lies 5 meters below sea level.

The Epoch Times: Why Is My Snot Green? How Deep Are My Sinuses? Fascinating Facts About Mucus, Noses and Sprays
The nose has two main functions: to smell and to filter and condition the air we breathe. Sinuses and mucus assist in immune defense, but we're not sure why we evolved to have them. Mucus traps particles and carries them out of the nose, and thick mucus tends to exit down the throat. Nose spray can help relieve symptoms of a cold or flu, but it should be used correctly by pointing it towards the ear and using saline nose spray to flush away allergens and mucus.

Forbes: Adidas Golf Teams With Rapper Macklemore’s Bogey Boys Brand
Adidas and rapper Macklemore's golfing brand, Bogey Boys, have created a limited-edition collection of apparel, accessories and footwear for men and women. The collection is inspired by nostalgic and sporty fashion in golf and tennis from past eras, with designs taken from old magazines, catalogs, and look books from the 1970s and 1980s. The collection will be available from June 14th, the day before the start of the men's US Open, on both the Adidas and Bogey Boys websites, the Adidas app, and select retailers.
Macklemore, whose given name is Ben Haggerty, started his Bogey Boys brand in 2021 with the hope of offering a different look and style to inspire others to start playing golf. He believes that the hit of euphoria when you connect and compress the golf ball and it goes where you intended it to go is a feeling that he will chase for the rest of his life. Adidas is a brand that Macklemore has grown up with, and the collaboration features Adidas's rarely used “trefoil” in which the brand’s three-stripe logo resembles a leaf, mixed with the classic vintage style from Bogey Boys.

Flag And Cross: What Do Animals Do When Hurricanes Approach?
Animals, including sharks and birds, have natural instincts that allow them to sense the approach of a hurricane. Sensitivity to barometric pressure drops leads sharks, such as the bull, tiger, and nurse shark, to seek deeper waters, while birds, such as the white-throated sparrow, alter migration patterns, or may be diverted by severe winds. Hurricanes can short-term negative impacts on nesting shorebirds and seabirds, but they can create new nesting habitats. Animals rely on natural instincts to avoid injury, death, and destruction from hurricanes.
The Epoch Times: Surfers at Amazon's Mouth Ride Some of World's Longest-Lasting Waves
Brazilian surfers flock to the Amazon River’s mouth in Chaves for the annual “Pororoca” festival to surf the tidal bore waves which can last up to 40 minutes. During days around the full and new moons, the largest and longest waves are formed, providing abundant debris and making an expedition in this region risky. Despite its history of destruction, the wave has become one of the main sources of tourism in Chaves. But locals have named the area where surfers go the Dangerous Canal.
