A huge fight broke out outside the Glendale School Board meeting in Los Angeles as parents, many of them from the Armenian-American community, came to protest the school’s pride events. Naturally, the left-wing zealots—read “Antifa”—showed up in force, and as you will see, some serious punches were thrown on both sides. A heavy police presence attempted to stop the fighting, violently pulling apart combatants to prevent serious injury.
Someone with a bullhorn shouts, “Do not engage! Step away. We are not here to fight!” Maybe that person wasn’t there to fight, but plenty of other people were. One man wearing a black helmet seems to stagger into the arms of policemen
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is closing the gap on former President Donald Trump in the early nominating state of Iowa, according to an internal poll out this week. The survey by WPA Intelligence for the DeSantis-supporting Never Back Down super PAC showed the 44-year-old governor in a virtual tie with the 76-year-old Trump in a head-to-head contest. Trump had 45% support, while DeSantis had 43% support and 12% were undecided.
An early May head-to-head poll, taken before the Florida governor formally entered the race, showed Trump with 53% support, DeSantis on 39% and 8% undecided.

New York City topped the list of the world’s worst air pollution Tuesday morning as harmful smoke wafted south from more than a hundred wildfires burning in Quebec.
Smoke from Canada’s fires has periodically engulfed the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic for more than a week, raising concerns over the harms of persistent poor air quality. New York City’s air quality index peaked above 150 on Tuesday, according to IQair – a level of pollution that is “unhealthy” for sensitive groups like the elderly, young children and those with respiratory issues.
New York City was still among the top five cities with the worst air pollution in the world Tuesday afternoon

MANCHESTER, N.H. – Chris Christie thinks someone has to take down Donald Trump and he is the one to do it.
The former New Jersey governor has long been mulling a second presidential campaign and made it official Tuesday night in New Hampshire during a town hall at Saint Anselm College, not only vowing to defeat the former president, but to take the 2024 Republican nomination for himself.

agenda in retaliation over speaker’s
debt limit deal replies
A bloc of Republican hardliners blindsided GOP leaders on Tuesday and derailed two bills, a move they said was retaliation for House Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s deal with President Joe Biden to suspend the national debt limit. The revolt underscored the fragility of McCarthy’s narrow majority and the lingering tensions with the right-wing of his conference over the debt deal. But the protest also indicated that the members have not yet decided on whether to call for a vote ousting McCarthy from the speakership, something that would rip apart the House GOP and send the chamber into chaos. For now, the conservatives have settled on a strategy to scramble
Faye the swan was a beloved figure in Manlius, New York, as she plied the town ponds with her cygnets in tow. Her lineage has delighted residents since 1905.
But to three refugee teens, she looked like a meal.One day she was simply gone, and once her disappearance was noticed, tips flooded in to police and they eventually arrested 18-year-old Eman Hussan of Syracuse, New York, and two minors, aged 16 and 17, all of whom are natives of Myanmar and attend high school in the area.
They had killed the beauty—who did not fight back because she was nesting—and took it home, where they and their families ate it.
Tucker Carlson inaugurated the return of his popular show on Tuesday, dropping the first episode of “Tucker on Twitter” after being taken off the air at Fox News in April.
Carlson is still reportedly negotiating his exit with Fox News, where he led ratings with his primetime show “Tucker Carlson Tonight.” The network took him off the air suddenly after his last show on April 21, but he promised to bring it back in some form on Twitter.

The Wall Street Journal is warning C-suite executives that their daytime adventures in woke politics can cost them their annual bonuses.
“In most of these C-suites, they’re like, ‘We don’t want to be next,'” Jim Fielding, a former top retail executive at Claire’s Stores and Disney Stores, told the newspaper for a June 6 article, headlined “Companies That Embraced Social Issues Have Second Thoughts.” “One step can turn a social-media storm into a corporate crisis that cripples businesses and wrecks careers,” the article says, adding: Over the past decade, companies have become more vocal on causes such as immigration, voting access, abortion, gay rights and racial equity, often taking stances

HOUSTON - Harris County Commissioners have approved a pilot program that will pay a monthly stipend to hundreds of low-income families, joining dozens of 'guaranteed income' programs across the country. In Texas, San Antonio and Austin have their own pilot programs, but Harris County becomes the first county in the state to offer experimental financial assistance from the COVID stimulus American Rescue Plan Act. In a party-line vote, Commissioner Tom Ramsey was the lone hold-out against the UPLIFT Harris Program that will pay $500 a month to 1500 low-income Harris County households.

The World Health Organization (WHO) said it will take up the European Union’s digital COVID-19 vaccine passport framework as part of a new global network of digital health certificates.
The WHO said in a June 5 statement that it had entered into a “landmark digital health partnership” with the European Commission (EC), the European Union’s executive body.
As part of this new joint venture, Europe’s existing framework of digital vaccine passports will serve as the first building block of a global network of digital health products.
Dubbed the Global Digital Health Certification Network, the new vaccine passport framework has already drawn criticism, with Australian senator Alex Antic
The Media Is Worried about Biden

The New York Times is out today with a long feature about the “concern” over Joe Biden’s age and conspicuously deteriorating abilities. The story is strangely written, as it seems to go out of its way to conceal the heart of the matter by including lukewarm appraisals of Biden’s awesome capacities (/sarc):
"People who deal with him regularly, including some of his adversaries, say he remains sharp and commanding in private meetings. (Snip) Of course, the story skips over as quickly as possible his most recent fall at the Air Force Academy, which is the only real news on this issue from the last few days. One almost wishes
On paper, has there ever been a more qualified candidate for president than Mike Pence? Twelve years in the House of Representatives, four as governor of Indiana, and four as vice president of the United States. No president in at least the last 30 years has come to office with that kind of resume.
And yet Pence, who this week becomes a candidate for the 2024 Republican nomination, is in a nearly impossible situation. Or maybe a totally impossible situation. And it all traces back to his four years with President Donald Trump in the White House — the period that should have set him up
The plot to deport a prince

America! The land of the free. A place for second chances. But if you’re a foreigner who wants to keep basking in the aforementioned freedom, the one thing you probably shouldn’t do is write about your excessive drug use in a memoir when you’re on a visa.
That’s the mistake made by Prince Harry, who now faces legal action that could end with his deportation back to Britain.
You’d think a royal armed with the best schooling (and lawyers) money can buy would know that. But as is clear from Prince Harry’s latest debacle, hundreds of thousands of the finest British pounds in tuition will only get you so far.

Credible allegations of voter fraud in the 2020 presidential election have resulted in profound misgivings among Americans. Many conservatives have become disillusioned with the Republican party, especially at the national level where the gap between rhetoric and results has grown enormously. However, the nation has experienced similar circumstances in the past. What lessons can we draw from the history of previous elections?
The 1960 election was a pivotal point in American politics. Given that only one in five current Americans were alive then, as well as the continuing decline in proficiency in history and civics, let us consider how this contest compares to our most recent presidential election.
Last month, the House Oversight Committee revealed a trove of evidence exposing Joe Biden’s influence-peddling with foreign nations. The evidence showed that illicit funds were funneled through a network of shell companies, deliberately established to obscure their illicit origins, before ending up in the hands of several members of the Biden family. This scheme included Joe’s brother James Biden, James’s wife, Hunter Biden, Hunter’s current wife, Hunter’sex-wife, Hallie Biden (Beau’s widow and Hunter’s former girlfriend), and three children of Hunter Biden and James Biden. These entities operated
A recently resurfaced photo of Democrat Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear posing with a local chapter of the anti-Christian LGBTQ activist group Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence has led to some sharp language between his campaign and that of his Republican challenger, state Attorney General Daniel Cameron. "This is just another example of how out of touch Andy Beshear is with our values. He’s the governor of Kentucky, not California," Cameron told Fox News Digital.
"The fact that he would host an anti-Christian hate group that makes fun of people of faith is disqualifying for public office.
A federal judge sided Tuesday with families who sued over Florida’s ban on gender transition procedures for minors, declaring that “gender identity is real.” (snip) Northern District of Florida Judge Robert L. Hinkle, a Clinton appointee, granted a preliminary injunction against the law to prohibit it from being enforced against the plaintiffs, and proceeded to make the claim that “great weight of medical authority supports these treatments.”

A video shows Reading, Pennsylvania, police arresting a man after he tries to read a Bible verse during public Pride event.
Damon Atkins was attempting to read 1 Corinthians 14:33 when the police confronted him. The Bible verse reads, “For God is not a God of disorder but of peace, as in all the meetings of God’s holy people.” “Let them have their day. Respect it,” an officer told him. (snip)
After an interaction with police, officers stood between Atkins and the crowd attending the Pride event. When Atkins again began reading off the Bible verse, an officer said, “That’s it. You’re done,” and arrested him.

Former US Attorney General Bill Barr on Tuesday said he would “bet” an indictment is near in Jack Smith’s classified documents case against Trump.
Special Counsel Jack Smith has been investigating Trump after he stored presidential records at Mar-a-Lago and whether the former president tried to obstruct the probe.
According to CBS News, the decision whether to indict Trump on federal charges is imminent. Barr was asked about the meeting Trump’s lawyers held with Justice Department officials on Monday. Bill Barr took a shot at Trump and said the meeting was probably held to complain about the special counsel’s work.
CBS asked Barr if he believes the meeting indicates an indictment is near.
Republicans in the California state legislature walked out of a ceremony honoring “Sister Roma” of the anti-Catholic group Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, the group mired in a controversy involving the L.A.

Scott Wiener (D-San Francisco), who is also behind many of the most controversial pieces of sexual legislation in the state, including recent laws making California a “sanctuary” for transgender children seeking drugs and surgery; and a law decriminalizing loitering for the purposes of prostitution, which has reportedly led to an explosion in child prostitution on the streets.

There is one fundamental question that any candidate vying for the Republican nomination for president of the United States in 2024 must answer — but that as of yet has gone largely unaddressed, at least publicly, as the field spars over significant but ultimately subordinate issues.
The question is this: How will you win the general election under the present voting system? An inability to answer this question clearly, compellingly, and convincingly imperils Republican odds of retaking the White House, no matter how favorable their prospects might look come next November. It is incumbent on anyone who wants to earn the Republican presidential nomination to answer this question at the outset,
Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., is slamming the Afghanistan dissent cable to which Secretary of State Antony Blinken allowed congressional access Tuesday as "embarrassing" and saying that it debunks the Biden administration's narrative that it was caught off guard by the country's swift collapse in 2021. Issa, who serves on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, told Fox News Digital that he was the first committee member to view the dissent channel cable from the U.S. Embassy in Kabul and Washington's response.
The State Department’s "dissent channel" allows for contrary views to be expressed by officials. The document, signed by 23 staffers and diplomats, warned about the possibility of a rapid Taliban advance

More independents prefer former President Donald Trump than President Joe Biden in a head-to-head matchup, the latest survey from The Economist/YouGov found.
The survey asked respondents who they would support between Biden and Trump if the 2024 general election was held now. The two potential challengers are tied across the board with 39 percent support each, followed by nine percent who said they would not vote, seven percent who said “other,” and five percent who remain unsure. However, Biden has a three-point advantage among registered voters, specifically.
The owner of two of San Francisco's largest hotels has stopped making mortgage payments on the properties and will let them go into foreclosure as historic crime rates continue to deter tourists.

There are major population areas downstream that are being evacuated.

Disney was not accountable to anyone,” observed Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis in his announcement kicking off his presidential campaign. “You know, it’s human nature: If there’s no accountability over any individual or entity, of course they’re going to behave differently than if you have normal accountability.” The truth of DeSantis’ words is perfectly demonstrated by Disney’s recent treatment of guests at Shades of Green, a military-owned hotel at Walt Disney World. Disney’s actions say a lot about how a company — one that used to be notable for its patriotism in the days of Walt — now regards U.S. Armed Forces families and veterans.

The album, recorded in 1963, would have a huge impact on the popularization of bossa nova music, in no small measure due to of one of those songs featuring Astrud: “The Girl from Ipanema,” released as a single in 1964, sold more than 5 million copies, reached No. 5 on t
Here we go again with the ever-familiar silo defense. The FBI is refusing to hand over the unclassified FD-1023 stating there is an ongoing investigation using the confidential human source who made allegations outlined in the document. Remember, the allegations and the statement record was created in July of 2020, almost three years ago.
Prior to last week, the FBI refused to say the 6-page unclassified document existed. After House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer told FBI Director Chris Wray he had already seen the unclassified document via a whistleblower, then Comey admitted the FBI indeed had it.

After repeatedly failing to overturn Biden administration regulations in existing legislation, House Republicans are taking the next steps in their attempt to exert authority over the administrative state.
Lawmakers discussed a series of bills intended to reach those ends during a June 5 Rules Committee hearing.
“The Constitution articulates where the laws are made. It’s here in Congress,” said Committee Chair Tom Cole (R-Okla.) in his opening remarks.
Rep. Mary Gay Scanlon (D-Pa.), by contrast, said the proposals show that the House Republican majority “once again prioritizes right-wing culture wars over the American people.” Right-leaning ideology prioritizes individual liberty over the government intervention preferred by the left.
On Monday, David Zuckerman wrote a good piece about Peggy Noonan and her WSJ editorial concerning former President Donald Trump. Noonan argues that electing Donald Trump again would destroy the Republican party. Peggy may be right, and I hope that she is.
Trump’s success in 2016 was, in large part, due to the way that he took the mechanisms of the Republican political machine and used them to secure victory. He ran a third-party-style campaign within the structure of the Republican party. The “party” as a corporate entity was against him, but grassroots Republicans in name and philosophy were all in for candidate Donald Trump.

You bet someone will use this for campaign fodder, especially if Gov. Ron DeSantis is involved. Remember when some illegals arrived on Martha’s Vineyard, and every white liberal on the island panicked? They were whining about how this infusion of new people, there were fewer than 50, would essentially break the island budget-wise. The liberals deported the illegals off the island to a military base, exposing the Left for their rank hypocrisy regarding immigrants. Affluent white progressives want illegal aliens for the census count to increase their foothold in Congress by creating new districts represented by members of Congress of similar racial and cultural backgrounds.
Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said Fox News barred content that reflected negatively on vaccines to appease its big-money advertisers in the pharmaceutical industry.

“These scores which ranges from 0-100, allows investors to compare a company’s performance to that of its competitors in the same industry and businesses from different sectors. Poor performance is defined as a score of less than 50, and excellent performance as a score of more than 70.”
On July 16, 2018, the BBC summarized the Western media's fast-developing distaste for former President Trump: "Trump sides with Russia against FBI at Helsinki summit."
The BBC storyline was that "U.S. intelligence agencies had concluded in 2016 that Russia was behind an effort to tip the scale of the U.S. election against Hillary Clinton, with a state-authorized campaign of cyber attacks and fake news stories planted on social media."
So, at a news conference after the summit, President Trump was asked if he believed his own intelligence agencies or the Russian President when it came to the allegations of meddling in the elections.
Special Counsel Jack Smith’s prosecutors questioned at least one witness after an employee at Mar-a-Lago drained the Florida resort’s pool in October and ended up flooding a room full of computer servers that maintained surveillance video, according to a leak to CNN.
Jack Smith has been investigating Trump after he stored presidential records at Mar-a-Lago and whether the former president tried to obstruct the probe.
The IT equipment and servers were not damaged by the flooding, however, federal prosecutors still found it suspicious.
Since the flooding happened after Trump received a subpoena for classified records and surveillance footage, prosecutors may use it to build an obstruction conspiracy case, CNN reported.

South Korea is aiming to secure one of the rotating seats on the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) at a vote in the General Assembly on Tuesday.
A successful campaign for one of the 10 non-permanent seats will give Seoul the opportunity to put issues that are critical to South Korea at the top of the UN's agenda.
The result is not a foregone conclusion, however, as China, North Korea and Russia are likely to oppose South Korea's candidacy, in a bid to further their own geopolitical interests.
Five of the 10 non-permanent seats are available for two-year terms from 2024.
A few months ago, Mike Rowe stumbled upon a 2011 video of himself speaking in front of the Senate Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee during the Obama administration about the mindset of government toward skilled trades. His argument was that skilled trades were the key to saving our economy, not those jobs that require a four-year degree.
His argument fell on deaf ears.
So he went again in April of 2014, this time testifying before the House Committee on Natural Resources to discuss the opportunities for skilled trade workers in the energy industry.

NEW YORK -The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on Tuesday sued Coinbase, accusing the largest U.S. cryptocurrency exchange of operating illegally without having first registered with the regulator.
Tuesday's lawsuit came one day after the SEC sued Binance, the world's largest cryptocurrency exchange, and its founder Changpeng Zhao.
Both cases are part of SEC Chair Gary Gensler's push to assert jurisdiction over crypto and offer better protection to investors who trade virtual currencies. "Coinbase's alleged failures deprive investors of critical protections, including rulebooks that prevent fraud and manipulation, proper disclosure, safeguards against conflicts of interest, and routine inspection,"

America is in a state of decline, if not chaos, following disappointing results in three straight elections and too many years of organized turmoil in our streets, schools, government institutions, and elsewhere. Reversing this requires fundamental changes in conservatives’ political and philanthropic strategies.
Change at the margins is not enough – not with inflation at 50-year highs; rampant crime in our streets; military preparedness and our children’s education compromised at the altar of wokeness; social experimentation occurring in our schools without parental knowledge; protection of our southern border having collapsed; government and large corporations coordinating censorship of certain viewpoints; and weaponization of the Department of Justice and FBI.

By now, much of the country has heard or read about the City University of New York law school graduate who was allowed to unspool a spiteful tirade as the school’s commencement speaker. She made a number of vile statements, but her call to “fight against capitalism” stood out to us. She and her fellow travelers know what few casual observers are aware of, that is, an attack on capitalism is an attack on liberty.
Condemning capitalism is nothing new in this country. We’ve heard the angry criticisms all of our lives, and they weren’t novel when we were young.
Democrats frequently talk about compensation for slavery and Jim Crow in the form of reparations for black Americans. Indeed, House member Cori Bush recently proposed $14 trillion as a good place to start.
Any reparations plan would be extraordinarily complex. First, if reparations are to be paid, to whom would they be paid? To every one of America’s 45 million blacks? Would that include the 4.5 million blacks who immigrated after Jim Crow was gone?
