Polls see Germany's center-left coalition government in free fall while the far-right populist AfD is reaping the benefits. It currently polls on par with Chancellor Olaf Scholz's Social Democrats. Never before have voters in Germany been this unhappy with the current coalition government: Only one in five says they are doing a good job. The center-left Social Democrats (SPD), the Greens, and the neoliberal Free Democrats (FDP) are plummeting in the polls, after only one and a half years in office.
This is according to pollster infratest-dimap who surveyed 1300 eligible voters on May 30 and 31, 2023, and published the results in its monthly "Deutschlandtrend."
A recent review of court records reveals an alarming trend at the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) concerning its treatment of January 6 Capitol riot defendants. Federal prosecutors have deployed a tactic of seeking to impose fines on defendants, in addition to their prison sentences with the alleged goal of preventing them from financially benefiting from their participation in the 2021 events in DC, especially in cases where the accused has received a court-appointed public defender. Attorneys for the defendants see the DOJ’s fine requests as impairing rights to legal representation.

A shocking bit of honesty occurred during CNN's Erin Burnett OutFront on Thursday night as the network's medical analyst recommended President Joe Biden start walking with a cane to prevent his frequent falls. The recommendation was uttered when cardiologist and former member of George W. Bush's medical team Doctor Jonathan Reiner was discussing Biden's fall from earlier in the day during a commencement address at the U.S. Air Force Academy.
"This is about the third time we've seen the President fall. He fell twice going up the steps of Air Force One once in 2021 and once earlier this year," Reiner observed.
President Joe Biden delivered his first Oval Office address as president from behind the Resolute Desk to hold up a deal to avoid defaulting on the nation's debt as a substantial bipartisan achievement.
'We averted an economic crisis – an economic collapse,' Biden told the nation Friday night.
'Passing this budget agreement was critical,' Biden said, speaking in a low voice during the prime time broadcast. 'The stakes could not have been higher. If they had failed to reach an agreement on the budget, there were extreme voices threatening to take America for the first time in our 247 year history, in a default on our national debt.'
The Navy Secretary touted its ships as “beacons in every port of call” for “diversity, equity, and inclusion,” in a message to the force celebrating Pride Month.

Former President Donald Trump declared that he was "at least as innocent" as his former vice president, Mike Pence, on Friday after the Department of Justice declined to bring charges against Pence for the alleged mishandling of classified documents.
Trump, who is the subject of a special counsel investigation related to classified documents found at his Mar-a-Lago resort last year, claimed he should also be exonerated of any wrong-doing that's tied to the documents. "Just announced that they are not going to bring charges against Mike Pence on the document hoax," Trump posted to Truth Social. "That’s great, but when
The bad reviews keep coming for The View as the long-running talk show was thrashed in a scathing New York Times review by longtime fan and author Megan Stack who called it a 'chorus of conformity'.
She took aim at the show in a guest essay published Friday and said she loved it for its 'messy and fearless debate' but its co-hosts now virtually agree on every point.
Stack revealed she used to be a fan of the show and argued it has become too conformist to represent Americans as 'the people are split' and 'our many divisions obstruct coherent governance'.
In April, the RNC announced that the first GOP presidential primary debate for the 2024 election will be held in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, in August.

The Biden administration is moving forward with a 20-year ban on new oil and gas leasing near an Indigenous cultural site in New Mexico despite stark opposition from Native Americans in the region.
Interior Secretary Deb Haaland finalized the action Friday which bans fossil fuel and mineral leasing within a 10-mile buffer zone around the Chaco Culture National Historical Park in northwestern New Mexico. The ban ultimately amounts to a withdrawal of approximately 336,404 acres of public lands from mineral leasing near the site some Native Americans consider sacred. (snip)
However, the proposal has been met with fierce opposition from the nearby Navajo Nation, local officials and energy producers.
It’s rare that President Joe Biden goes a week without making a fool of himself and the country. This week, was no exception. After suffering from a series of misfortunate accidents, it has become apparent that Biden is not fit to make decisions for the U.S.
Hours after Biden’s fall that sent him flying across the stage during the Air Force Academy commencement ceremony, the 80 year-old president hit his head while exiting Marine One.
Reporters watched on the South Lawn of the White House as Biden hit his forehead while stepping out of the helicopter. He then rubbed his head where it was hit and continued to walk.
Former Vice President Mike Pence will reportedly not face criminal charges in the federal investigation into his handling of classified materials after an attorney for Pence found classified documents at his home earlier this year.
The news comes as Pence is expected to announce next week that he is entering the 2024 presidential race.“The Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Department’s National Security Division have conducted an investigation into the potential mishandling of classified information,” the Justice Department wrote to Pence’s attorney in a letter obtained by several news organizations. “Based on the results of that investigation, no criminal charges will be sought.”
Salt Lake City— The Good Book is being treated like a bad book in Utah after a parent frustrated by efforts to ban materials from schools convinced a suburban district that some Bible verses were too vulgar or violent for younger children.
And the Book of Mormon could be next.The 72,000-student Davis School District north of Salt Lake City removed the Bible from its elementary and middle schools while keeping it in high schools after a committee reviewed the scripture in response to a parental complaint. The district has removed other titles, including Sherman Alexie’s “The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian” and John Green’s “Looking for Alaska,”
I have good news and I have bad news. The good news is that some semblance of order may be restored at the border. The bad news is that our government may have nothing to do with it. “Order,” such as it is, may be imposed by the cartels at a massive price. The fact that some states are sending their National Guard units to secure the border may pay off in more ways than just apprehending illegals, traffickers, and potential terrorists because according to the Mexican news outlet Milenio, the cartels at the border are armed with military-grade equipment, including rocket launchers.
Facebook-owned Instagram is preventing Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who is competing with President Joe Biden in the Democrat primary, from setting up an official campaign account, according to the candidate.
In a post on Twitter, RFK Jr. said that his campaign account is being automatically banned when they attempt to set up a campaign account.“When we use our TeamKennedy email address to set up Instagram accounts we get an automatic 180-day ban,” said the Democrat candidate on Twitter. “Can anyone guess why that’s happening?” (Tweet)
President Joe Biden bumped his head while exiting the Marine One helicopter on Thursday, hours after he fell onstage at the U.S. Air Force Academy's graduation ceremony in Colorado.
In several videos posted to Twitter, Biden can be seen bumping his head on the top of the helicopter's doorframe. The White House press pool report confirmed that the president hit his head but added that he looked "spry" after getting off the helicopter on the South Lawn.
Recent polling on transgender rights has been fairly uniform, but you won’t see that reflected in the headlines touting the surveys.
“Americans’ Complex Views on Gender Identity and Transgender Issues,” read a headline from Pew Research last year. In fact, the only issue on which Americans even slightly disagree is whether transgender people should be protected from discrimination. Otherwise, 60% believe a person’s sex is assigned at birth, and even larger percentages say that trans athletes should compete against others of their birth gender.
There’s nothing really “complex” about how Americans feel when it comes to transgender issues. Nor are they really “divided” as NPR reporting on the same poll claims.
The California Senate on Tuesday voted to pay $300 weekly checks to unemployed illegal immigrants even as the state faces a roughly $31.5 billion deficit and mass illegal immigration. (snip)
California’s unemployment insurance fund, which was defrauded of some $31 billion during the COVID-19 pandemic, would be in charge of dispensing the checks. California employers are on the hook for the fund’s $20 billion debt in the form of higher payroll taxes that threaten employee-heavy small businesses and restaurants already devastated by California Democrats’ strict COVID-19 lockdowns.

Washington — President Joe Biden addressed the nation from the Oval Office on Friday evening – his first time speaking to the country directly from that setting – to take credit for securing a compromise measure that raises the federal borrowing limit and avoids a catastrophic default.
In his remarks, Biden said the agreement amounted to proof that the type of bipartisanship he promised as a candidate to seek was not only still possible but essential to avoiding disaster.
He told Americans the package ensures economic progress going forward and amounts to a “crisis averted.”

UPDATE: Independent journalist Ed Krassenstein reported late Friday that the Rushingbrook Children’s Choir was NOT stopped by the Capitol Police, and the Congressional staff member who was with the group lied about having the proper permissions. Krassenstein acquired a statement from the Capitol Police. “Recently somebody posted a video of a children’s choir singing the Star-Spangled Banner in the U.S. Capitol Building and wrongfully claimed we stopped the performance because it ‘might offend someone.’ Here is the truth,” they said. “Demonstrations and musical performances are not allowed in the U.S. Capitol.

President Biden is expected to pick North Carolina’s former health secretary — who pushed aggressive COVID restrictions during the pandemic — as his next director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The Secret to McCarthy's Success
replies
House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R., Calif.) notched a victory for himself and for Republicans with Wednesday's passage of the Fiscal Responsibility Act of 2023. The bill will raise the debt ceiling through 2025, claw back pandemic and IRS spending, improve welfare programs, speed up permitting, reinstate student loan payments, and cut non-defense discretionary spending. The bill also has an enforcement mechanism: If Congress fails to pass the required appropriations bills by January 1, overall discretionary spending will be cut by 1 percent. The legislation doesn't restore fiscal sanity to the federal budget—only changes to Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid would do that—but it is a step in the right direction.
More than 120 people are now known to have been killed and 850 injured in a multiple train collision in India's eastern Odisha state, officials say.

The individual behind the information that then-Vice President Joe Biden was involved in a criminal bribery scheme with a foreign national is a "highly credible" FBI confidential human source who has been used by the bureau in multiple investigative matters dating back to the Obama administration, Fox News Digital has learned. House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer and GOP Sen. Chuck Grassley were approached by a whistleblower alleging that the FBI was in possession of a document—an FD-1023 form, dated June 30, 2020—which explicitly detailed information provided by a confidential human source alleging Biden, while serving as vice president, was involved in a $5 million criminal bribery
Sen. Chuck Grassley has already seen the FBI’s lengthy summary of a confidential human source’s claims that then-Vice President Joe Biden agreed to accept money from a foreign national to affect policy decisions, the Iowa Republican revealed on Thursday. Grassley further pledged to make the FBI report public as soon as the bureau complies with a congressional subpoena to provide an official copy of the FD-1023 form — something Director Christopher Wray has so far refused to do.
Republican presidential candidate and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis called President Biden’s fall at the Air Force Academy graduation Thursday “sad” and “frustrating.”
“It’s a sad thing to see,” DeSantis said in Beaufort County, S.C., on Friday. “You don’t want to see anyone do that. But it was frustrating because honestly that was symbolic of the state of our country.” “Our country continues to stub its toe,” he added. “Our country continues to trip and fall. Our country continues to go in the wrong direction.”
Biden fell on stage at the Air Force Academy commencement ceremony Thursday, after he reportedly tripped over a sandbag.

There’s been an ongoing battle between the House oversight committee and the FBI over a document called an FD-1023. House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer demanded the document be turned over to his committee and FBI Director Christopher Wray at first said no and then later agreed to a compromise.

Target’s stock was downgraded on Thursday by JP Morgan, the largest bank in the United States, amid a consumer backlash over the store’s LGBT product campaign.
“We continue to believe that the consumer is broadly weakening while the share of wallet shift away from goods (51% of [Target’s] sales) is ongoing,” JPMorgan analyst Christopher Horvers wrote, according to Market Watch.
The stock was demoted from overweight, which means the broker has a positive outlook on the company’s prospects due to its current share price and that the stock is considered a strong buy, to neutral, which means the broker believes the investor should hold the stock as its price may not change.
The Chicago City Council approved $51 million in funding for housing and food for illegal immigrants as a surge continues on the southern border.

Kari Lake will replace Mike Pence as the keynote speaker alongside President Trump and other MAGA conservatives at the Georgia GOP convention on June 9.

And the New York Times offers its stenographic services as well. Disney filed a lawsuit against the State of Florida earlier this year over the dismantling of the Reedy Creek tax district, even before the state legislature arguably mooted the issue with new statutory authority for the replacement district.

Why did Disney choose the Northern District? Its chief judge, Mark E. Walker, has long expressed hostility to Ron DeSantis and sympathy for Disney — even on the record in court.

Staff at a Soho art gallery representing Hunter Biden’s paintings called police Thursday to investigate a possible computer hack of its financial records, The Post has learned.
A source close to the Georges Berges Gallery, which has mounted shows of President Biden’s son’s art since 2021, said staff members fear that financial transactions have been hacked, after a client alerted them to a phony invoice requesting payment to an account not controlled by dealer Georges Berges.
The possible hack comes days after staff discovered that the gallery’s phone number had been “compromised” by a number that had been traced to Turkey, the source told The Post.

That exclusion does not comport with what the founders of America intended.I thank God for people like Kirk Cameron, the actor and children’s author, who often presents a library presentation helping children learn about God, instead of promoting things like “drag queen story hour.”

Left-wing nutballs have had the upper hand in America's culture wars for a long time. They are hyperaggressive and focused on pushing America in a radical direction.

Most Americans just want to get along whenever possible, not fight about sensitive social issues if they can help it and, most of all, not be mean to people. That's a laudable attitude in general, but when up against radical, ideologically driven opponents, oftentimes you have to push back. If you don't,
