As RedState reported earlier, the January 6th committee suddenly postponed its next hearing, which was set to take place on Wednesday. That came after infighting among the members broke out into the open on Monday over whether the committee should issue criminal referrals, including possibly for Donald Trump.
When I wrote the initial report on the postponement, the excuse given by sources to the mainstream media was that they needed more time to prepare video exhibits. To even those supportive of the committee, that shouldn’t make any sense. Are we to believe these congressional members, who have been planning these hearings for a long time, waited until the day before

The Twerps at Twitter are conspiring to ban the account Libs of TikTok for reposting publicly available flyers about “family pride events” that have seen protesters show up in opposition to the public sexualization and grooming of children during “Pride” month all over the country.
One of the events was a “drag queen story hour” that protesters interrupted at a library in San Francisco. The left has been breathlessly accusing Libs of TikTok of putting people’s “lives in danger” and calling the account owner a “domestic terrorist” for reposting publicly available information. “Chaya Raichik of Libs of Tik Tok is going to get somebody killed,”

Here we go again! White House National Climate Advisor Gina McCarthy said “we need the tech companies to really jump in” to combat so-called disinformation and misinformation. It’s not the first time the Biden administration has advocated for Big Tech censorship.
McCarthy spoke at an Axios event titled “A conversation on battling misinformation.” During the event, she called on tech companies to get more involved. “[T]he tech companies have to stop allowing specific individuals over and over again to spread disinformation,” she said.
Axios described the event as an examination of “real world impacts of misinformation on public health and climate action.” When asked

The House passed a bill extending additional government-funded security to the Supreme Court justices and their families on Wednesday, sending the legislation to President Biden for final approval.
The House voted 396-27 in favor of the bill, with only Democrats voting against.
The Senate passed the bill by voice vote on May 9, amid threats to justices after the leak of a draft opinion indicating that the Court could overturn Roe v. Wade. The bill was initially sponsored by Senators John Cornyn (R., Texas) and Chris Coons (D., Del.).
Senate minority leader Mitch McConnell (R., Ky.) called on House Democrats to “stop their blockade” of the bill on June 8

A leftover from Friday, made more noteworthy by the fact that Murdoch’s *other* New York paper also ran an editorial that was harshly critical of Trump on Friday night.
And apparently Murdoch-owned Fox News aired this morning’s January 6 hearing, including the testimony of former Decision Desk chief Chris Stirewalt defending the network’s infamous early call of Arizona for Biden on election night 2020.
Maybe that’s all a coincidence, a nod to the fact that even major righty media can’t completely ignore the hearings. But with rumors swirling that Trump might announce his 2024 candidacy soon and that Team DeSantis is eyeing a primary fight,

If you have any money in the stock market, today was a good day to not look at it. The Dow Jones cratered by nearly 900 points with the other markets following the same trends. For the first time, the markets are now currently lower under Joe Biden than when he took office. This is what a full-scale collapse looks likeAs you would expect, the White House, which has often bragged about its supposed economic results, is being pressed for an explanation of how this happened and where things go from here. Answers are few and far between, but the buck-passing that Biden normally participates in is being challenged

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) is ahead of his Democrat challenger, failed presidential candidate Beto O’Rourke, by 19 points, according to a new poll.
Blueprint Polling found that 56 percent of Texas voters support Abbott, compared to 37 percent support for O’Rourke. An additional seven percent of Texas voters remain undecided ahead of November’s general election. These latest poll numbers are the first to come out since O’Rourke crashed Gov. Abbott’s press conference in the wake of the Uvalde school shooting. During the press conference O’Rourke interrupted, he told the governor, “You’re doing nothing,” in regards to school safety.

Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.) is hitting President Joe Biden hard in a new television ad that will air nationwide.
“Joe Biden has destroyed America’s economy,” Scott, who is the chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, said in the advertisement funded by his own campaign, Fox News reported.
“It’s time to be honest with the American people. Joe Biden is unfit for office and should resign,” he added.
The ad is an effort to promote his “Rescue America” agenda, which has been a frequent target of the president. In fact, Biden’s criticism of the plan is where the phrase “ultra-MAGA” originated.

The 2022 stock sell-off intensified on Monday with the S&P 500 tumbling to a fresh low for the year and closing in bear market territory as recession fears grew ahead of this week's key Federal Reserve meeting.
The S&P 500 fell 3.88% to 3,749.63, marking its lowest level since March 2021 and bringing its losses from its January record to more than 21%. The benchmark closed in bear market territory (down more than 20% from its high) after trading there briefly on an intraday basis about three weeks ago. Some on Wall Street say it's not an official bear market until the index closes there and that's what happened

Ohio governor Mike DeWine signed a bill on Monday to allow school employees to carry guns on school property.
The law requires employees who wish to come to school armed to complete 24 hours of training in programs approved by the Ohio School Safety Center. Additionally, the bill requires eight hours of annual training for approved employees. School districts may choose not to allow armed employees if they wish under the new law.
“This does not require any school to arm teachers or staff,” DeWine said at a press conference on Monday after signing the law. “Every school will make its own decision.”

The stock market began the week with a steep decline, entering bear market territory as fears of a recession among business leaders grow more intense.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average had declined by just over 600 points as of 10:00 a.m. EST, a half-an-hour after trading opened on Wall Street. The Standard and Poor’s 500 index ratio, meanwhile, declined by 100.88 in the same period.
Though no formal definition of a ‘bear market’ exists in the securities industry in the U.S., a decline of 20 percent in value from a recent record-high is widely viewed as the threshold.

Support from unaffiliated voters is propelling Republicans’ bid to reclaim both the House and Senate in November, a new Rasmussen Reports poll found.
When likely U.S. voters were asked who they would vote for if elections were held today, 48 percent said a Republican candidate, 39 percent said a Democrat candidate, and just four percent said some other candidate. Nine percent were unsure. Rasmussen Reports said the Republican lead is “due to both a greater GOP partisan intensity and a 17-point advantage among independents.” “While 86 percent of Republican voters say they would vote for their own party’s congressional candidate, only 78 percent of Democrats would vote for the Democratic candidate,”
