Red State: Legal Experts Weigh in on the Trump Indictment With Some Concerning Conclusions

The Blaze: Companies GO GAY for Pride
America has Memorial Day to honor fallen soldiers, but the LGBTQ+ community gets an entire month to celebrate Pride, which some see as a marketing tool for corporations. The North Face was criticized for releasing a Pride Month ad featuring a drag queen promoting the brand's new Pride collection and "Summer of Pride" cross-country tour. While brands have the right to support social movements, some argue that it is disgusting to prioritize marketing over honoring those who sacrificed their lives for freedom.

The Epoch Times: WestJet to Wind Down Budget Airline Swoop, Fold It Into Main Operation
WestJet will fold its Swoop subsidiary and integrate its budget airline services under its main brand by late October. The move comes after pilots of both airlines ratified a new collective agreement, which puts them on a level pay scale and gives them a 24% hourly pay increase over four years. WestJet CEO Alexis von Hoensbroech said higher wages for Swoop's flight crews made keeping Swoop separate less feasible, and the integration will not lead to layoffs but will widen the reach of the budget offerings. WestJet becomes the latest airline to move away from standalone budget airline models due to rising competition for budget airfares.
The Epoch Times: Orange County IDA’s Controversial Accelerator Program Down to 2 Tenants
OCIDA's Accelerator program, which provides subsidized rental spaces to small businesses, has been reduced to only two tenants. OCIDA CEO, Bill Fioravanti, intends to renew the leases with both tenants for another year due to their better-than-average business performance and low cost to the agency. The program was implicated in a corruption scandal in 2021, involving three OCIDA officials, resulting in the closure of three of its locations. The remaining tenants, a skincare company, and a candle manufacturer, are both operating on expired leases, but Fioravanti's analysis shows renewing them is not a money-losing move for OCIDA.

The Epoch Times: China's Military Intercepts Designed to Challenge International Order: Pentagon Official
The Chinese military is increasing its aggression against the United States and its allies, with the goal of undermining and replacing the international rules-based order, according to senior Pentagon official Ely Ratner. The Chinese Communist Party's military wing, the People's Liberation Army, has drastically increased its attempts to intercept or otherwise interfere with U.S. and allied units in the Indo-Pacific. The incidents have gone beyond unsafe flying and approached outright hostility, with the CCP seeking to politicize virtually everything to proliferate communism. The CCP's campaign of military aggression in the Indo-Pacific may serve another aim of the regime: to clear the path for an invasion of Taiwan.

"Playing with Fire" is a documentary about Jeannette Sorrell, founder of the Cleveland-based orchestra "Apollo's Fire," who specializes in early music and period instruments.
