ICE Raids Louisiana Racetrack, Detains over 80 Illegal Aliens
Federal agents and other law enforcement agencies reportedly arrived sometime in the middle of the morning, at which point they blocked off all access points to the racetrack and started detaining illegal migrant workers — some of them criminal migrants with at least four previous border crossings. As Breitbart News’s John Binder recently noted, in the five months since President Donald Trump took office, “all net job growth has gone to native-born Americans,” adding, “Under Joe Biden, for four years, nearly all net job growth went to newly arrived migrants” that were given parole or released from the border. “And Trump, in five months, has completely turned around what Biden did in four years — which is that all net job growth is going to native-born Americans.” “It really goes to show you how critical strict immigration enforcement is for, not only American citizens, but legal immigrants who are working in the workforce,” Binder asserted.

Actor Mark Ruffalo declares ‘time to take our country back’ from billionaires, claims ‘extreme wealth’ is creating the nations problems
Mark Ruffalo declares ‘time to take our country back’ from billionaires, as he blames ‘extreme wealth’ for nation’s problems “Avengers” actor Mark Ruffalo declared last weekend that billionaires and “White people” are creating the country’s problems, not immigrants. While attending a “No Kings” rally against President Donald Trump in New York City on Saturday, the actor spoke out against Trump’s immigration policies, saying that the immigrants the administration is allegedly targeting are good people, while wealthy Americans and “White people” are the ones committing the crimes. If you look at the statistics, most of the crimes committed in this country are by White people — non-immigrants.” He added that immigrants “add to our economy by the billions.” Elsewhere in the interview, Ruffalo declared, “It’s time to take our country back” from the billionaires — which he described as the “extreme wealth that has its hands all over the power of the nation.” He added that all people should come together to make the country “a beautiful, burgeoning democracy that works for the people, not just the very wealthy.” Separate footage from the rally showed the actor reading some prepared remarks to the crowd.

'Bridgerton' star thought she was 'going to be killed' during terrifying robbery that left her traumatized
In a new interview with The Times, the 27-year-old — who was in a London cafe when her phone was stolen off the table behind her in February — detailed the moment she instinctively decided to fight her assailant and the lasting impact the incident has had on her since then. As seen in footage obtained by Fox News Digital, 18-year-old Zacariah Boulares grabbed Chenneour's phone while the actress — who was accompanied by her then-boyfriend Carlo Kureishi — was sitting on a stool waiting for her drink order. In the months following the incident, Chenneour — who is no longer in a relationship with Kureishi — said she hit "rock bottom."

Authorities In Iowa Take 88 Children From Church Camp, Place Them In Protective Custody
Authorities in southeast Iowa took 88 children from a church’s summer camp into protective custody following allegations that the children might have suffered harm, according to a statement. The Louisa County Sheriff’s Office in Wapello said Monday that it took away the children while conducting a “safeguard child protective custody operation and search warrants” on the campsite near Fredonia, where the children had been attending the church camp. Neighbors were reportedly stunned by the developments, with one telling the outlet that the campers were “very pleasant” and “good neighbors” and another alleging that there could have been “a huge misunderstanding.” The church describes its mission as one of “assisting individuals in breaking free from addiction through God’s Word, offering food and shelter to those in need, and supporting individuals during fasting and prayer,” according to its website.

Defunct NYC wine shop Sherry-Lehmann sues ex-owners, Pulitzer-winning NYT journalist over ‘press smear campaign’
The ill-fated vintner’s current proprietors — who shuttered the posh Park Avenue store in March 2023 amid mounting customer complaints over missing wine orders — claim New York Times columnist James B. Stewart conspired with Sherry-Lehmann’s former owners to create a “press smear campaign” against the shop for their “financial benefit and personal gain.” The suit claims the 73-year-old scribe — best known for his 1991 book “Den of Thieves” about the Michael Milken insider trading scandal — also egged on law enforcement to raid Sherry-Lehmann, allegedly telling the US attorney for the Southern District of New York that the wine shop “was the greatest Ponzi scheme of all time.” The suit goes on to make the claim that Stewart and three of the shop’s former owners “orchestrated” a series of “false articles” in other publications — including the New York Post — that allegedly misrepresented Sherry-Lehmann to the public and to law enforcement. A spokesperson for The New York Times denied the RICO allegations, saying in a statement, “There is no merit to the claims and we plan to defend against the suit vigorously.” In response to the allegations concerning The New York Post, a spokeswoman said in a statement, “These allegations are absurd, and show a complete lack of understanding of how journalism works.” Sherry-Lehmann’s complaint alleges that Peter Hellman, a reporter for the trade publication Wine Spectator, collaborated with Stewart “in researching and writing their articles for Wine Spectator and The New York Times, with Hellman claiming to a representative for Sherry-Lehmann that he was the ‘gumshoe reporter’ for Stewart’s article.” The suit also claims that Hellman tried to “impersonate an HVAC repairman” to enter Sherry-Lehmann’s temperature controlled Wine Caves facility in Pearl River, NY “before he was escorted from the premises.” The complaint likewise alleges that Stewart allegedly “impersonated a customer of Wine Caves (which Stewart never was)” to gather information for his article and that he allegedly told a Sherry-Lehman rep that “this will win a Pulitzer Prize.” Stewart has already won a Pulitzer — in 1987 for his coverage of the stock market crash when he was a writer for The Wall Street Journal. Hellman and Wine Spectator also declined to comment, citing “pending litigation.” The lawsuit, filed on behalf of owners Kris Green and Shyda Gilmer, claims they missed out on a $20 million “merger” offer from “one of the largest vineyard owners in France” because of the negative press and that the former owners wanted to deep six the deal to sell the business, according to the complaint.

Tucker Carlson Outdid the Mainstream Media — But Still Missed This Crucial Point
Popular historian Niall Ferguson, an apologist for colonialism who declared himself “a fully paid-up member of the neoimperialist gang” after the launch of Iraq War in 2003, wrote with two co-authors in the Free Press this week that Israel’s attacks on Iran were a “blow for the good guys in Cold War II.” One of the the New York Times’ prominent resident hawks, Bret Stephens, wrote a column last week praising Israel’s “courage” for doing “what needed to be done,” given, of course, “the millenarian mind-set of some of Iran’s theocratic leaders.” Looking at the media ecosystem as a whole, though, one might get the impression that the debate is pretty evenly split over whether Trump should escalate to U.S.-led strikes on Iran. As Cruz put it to Carlson, “we are carrying out military strikes today.” Carlson, rightly, jumped in by reminding him of the official U.S. line that Israel is conducting strikes on its own, pushing Cruz to clarify if he was breaking the news that “the United States government is at war with Iran right now.” While Cruz attempted to correct by saying that the U.S. is merely “supporting” Israel, the slip revealed the undeniable U.S. complicity in all Israel’s warmongering, regardless of whether Trump formally declares a U.S. military intervention.

Schools must stop ‘teaching’ our kids to think the world is doomed
CASEL, a nonprofit pushing social-emotional learning — commoditized wellness curricula — has created tools detailing how schools can use climate-anxiety-specific SEL and promote “climate justice.” The Climate Mental Health Network offers a “Climate Emotions Wheel” for the “important” purpose of “naming your climate emotions.” Is demand for climate-anxiety services induced by the industry supplying them? Indeed, one study finds climate anxiety can “induce eco-paralysis, thus leading individuals to avoid any form of engagement in actions against climate change.” The APA’s own guidance doesn’t deny it: “Given the emotional weight of the topic,” a cited psychologist advises, “helping your patient take any action is a positive step . That can be as simple as taking a break from the news, or just putting their head on their pillow at night and saying, ‘Well, I tried my best today.’” The warning also notes that “there are limits to personal responsibility,” and that “for some, the solution might be taking less action.” Of course, the APA warning does suggest seeking professional help, because therapists themselves are “‘totally appropriate’ for addressing climate change concerns,” as another mental-health practitioner adds.

These challenges include the constitutional case against Trump's unilateral tariffs, the constitutional case against Trump's executive order on birthright citizenship, the statutory case against Trump's invocation of the Alien Enemies Act to deport certain immigrants, and the statutory case against Trump's unilateral deployment of the California National Guard in Los Angeles.

Shot In The Face And Robbed Of Nothing: South African Woman Shares Horror Story
“They make calculated decisions on who to rob based on the information they have available, and the less the risk is the more likely they will rob those individuals.” Zinn said data suggested farms closer to urban areas are more at risk of crime, adding that “there are is simply no evidence to show the attacks are racially motivated.” Coetzee’s attackers — two or three men — were never caught, but nothing was stolen, she told the Caller.

SCOTUS Upholds Tennessee Law Banning Medical Transition for Transgender Kids
In his majority opinion, Chief Justice John Roberts wrote that the law, Senate Bill 1, "does not exclude any individual from medical treatments on the basis of transgender status but rather removes one set of diagnoses—gender dysphoria, gender identity disorder, and gender incongruence—from the range of treatable conditions." Roberts' opinion also emphasized the ongoing medical controversy over youth gender medicine, noting that health authorities in other countries have scaled back or expressed skepticism over these treatments, leading to "open questions" about the safety of interventions like puberty blockers and hormones for minors. "When provided in appropriate cases, gender-affirming medical care can meaningfully improve the health and wellbeing of transgender adolescents, reducing anxiety, depression, suicidal ideation, and (for some patients) the need for more invasive surgical treatments later in life," adding that the law "plainly classifies on the basis of sex."

It was a side-zip dress, and I kept getting zipped into the dress,” Ripa, 54, confessed on a recent episode of “Live with Kelly and Mark.” Needing results fast, she turned to her hubby’s super strict, super high protein diet for three days and — lo and behold — the zipper slid like a kid on a waterslide.

South Korean President Lee Jae-myung Makes International Debut at G7
Lee Jae-myung, the winner of South Korea’s June 3 election, made his first overseas trip this week to attend the Group of Seven (G7) summit in Alberta, Canada. Lee also evidently wanted to ensure South Korea was represented at the summit because he hopes to join the G7, or the “G7 Plus,” as it would likely be called if the members decide to invite more nations, much as the China-led BRICS economic bloc recently expanded its roster. Some of Lee’s domestic critics said he should have stuck to his earlier instincts and skipped the G7 summit to work on issues in South Korea, while his international critics felt his appearance at the G7 was uninspiring, especially since Trump left before his planned meeting with Lee — and did not warn Lee in advance that he was leaving.

G7 Nations Seek to ‘De-Risk’ Critical Mineral Supply Chains from China
Instead, the G7 spoke in general terms of “diversifying the responsible production and supply of critical minerals, encouraging investments in critical mineral projects and local value creation, and promoting innovation.” “We recognize that non-market policies and practices in the critical minerals sector threaten our ability to acquire many critical minerals, including the rare earth elements needed for magnets, that are vital for industrial production,” the G7 statement said. Continuing to use China as a punching bag without dropping its name, the G7 said: We recognize that critical minerals markets should reflect the real costs of responsible extraction, processing, and trade of critical minerals, while ensuring labour standards, local consultation, anti-bribery and corruption measures and addressing negative externalities, including pollution and land degradation. The host of this week’s G7 summit, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, said the group wished to maintain “constructive and stable relations with China,” but was prepared to take steps against “market distortions and harmful overcapacity.” Carney touted Canada’s potential to become a major supplier of critical minerals to the G7 alliance, ensuring a reliable supply of minerals for “defense and technology.” The G7 action plan also called for aggressively developing resources in Australia, India, and South Korea.

Trump Argues That He Can Take Over a State's National Guard Whenever He Feels Like It
Federal courts have no role whatsoever in assessing President Donald Trump's decision to take control of the California National Guard, Assistant Attorney General Brett Shumate argued at a hearing before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit on Tuesday. However the 9th Circuit ultimately comes down on that question, any decision addressing the legal merits of Newsom's argument will amount to a rejection of the Trump administration's alarming position that the president has the authority to deploy National Guard troops at will, even without pretending to meet statutory requirements or citing any facts to support his decision. That law authorizes the president to "call into Federal service members and units of the National Guard of any State" in three circumstances: 1) when the United States "is invaded or is in danger of invasion by a foreign nation," 2) when "there is a rebellion or danger of a rebellion against the authority of the Government of the United States," or 3) when "the President is unable with the regular forces to execute the laws of the United States."

Cops accused of squatting in uber-exclusive Long Island getaway after breaking in with crowbars: ‘Not seen in 200 years’

But the island’s deteriorating police barracks – which were vacated by state police in 2023 – evidently weren’t up to snuff, so town officials offered the Ferry District’s home a few houses over as a temporary place for the cops to set up shop, according to the lawsuit.

What Trump is likely looking at is the ability of Israel to eliminate Iran’s Fordow nuclear facility, which is built deep inside a mountain and may need US military equipment to take out.

Home affordability is ‘historically low’ — with owners spending a whopping share of their income on the mortgage: Report
Home affordability is ‘historically low’ — with owners spending a whopping share of their income on the mortgage: Report Trying to afford a home in 2024? Specifically, affordability is “historically low.” The report connected post-pandemic price hikes and interest rate increases to “a rapid deterioration in housing affordability,” particularly for first-time homebuyers, who typically fall between the ages of 25 and 44. The typical monthly mortgage payment increased by roughly $600 since 2019, researchers found, and not even substantial increases to American wages have helped to keep up the pace.

The F-35 Ages Worse Than the Planes It's Meant To Replace
"DOD plans to use the F-35 aircraft through 2088 and plans to spend over $2 trillion on acquisition and sustainment," the GAO noted, even though the department also "plans to fly the F-35 less than originally estimated, partly because of reliability issues with the aircraft." At the same time, even though the DOD planned to fly the crafts less than anticipated, that reduction in flight hours meant the various military branches "are now projecting they will meet most of their affordability targets (i.e., the amount of money they project they can afford to spend per aircraft per year for operating the aircraft)." "As F-35s have aged, their availability and use have decreased," the CBO detailed in a report—"availability" being a measure of "the number of hours that aircraft are both mission capable and in the possession of operational squadrons," as a percentage of that fleet's total flight time.

Ilhan Omar claims no one has 'attacked Americans,' but Iran's deadly history tells different story
A Fox News Digital report published Wednesday morning refutes Omar's claim that Americans have not been attacked, including extensive examples of Iran’s direct and proxy strikes on U.S. forces, support for terror groups and assassination efforts. ISRAEL-IRAN CONFLICT: LIVE UPDATES Bill Roggio, senior fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies and editor of the Long War Journal who testified in support of the victims, told Fox News Digital that "Iran's support for the Taliban and al Qaeda and the impact it had on the deaths and injuries to American soldiers and civilians is incalculable." In 2022, the U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C., found that Iran likewise owed damages to the families and victims of 40 U.S. service members who were injured or killed in Iraq due to Iran’s support of terrorism in the country.

Daughter of NY woman nearly beaten to death by paroled rapist faces him for first time in court: ‘So many emotions’
Daughter of NY woman nearly beaten to death by paroled rapist confronts him for first time in court: ‘So many emotions’ The trembling daughter of a Manhattan woman who was nearly beaten to death came face to face with her mom’s alleged attacker for the first time Wednesday — saying the vicious assault “turned my life upside down.” “I couldn’t control it,” Stephanie Rodas, 21, told The Post about the shaking and flood of tears that came with laying eyes on accused goon and paroled rapist Miguel Jiraud for the first time in a Manhattan courtroom. Why?” Jiraud, 30, was still on parole for a felony rape conviction and wearing a monitoring ankle bracelet when prosecutors said he ambushed Diana Agudelo on a bike path on Randall’s Island in an unprovoked and senseless attack on May 16, leaving her for dead. Jiraud’s ankle monitor – which he has been wearing since being paroled in August – showed him moving at 16 mph near the scene, potentially while riding Agudelo’s stolen e-bike that police later found dumped in the East River, the sources said.

Stephen A. Smith: LeBron James ‘hid behind his son’ in our messy feud
When he doesn’t do great, I’m not gonna applaud.” But while the ESPN star says he’ll do his job without letting their dislike for each other get in the way, he still has issues with how James confronted him at the Lakers’ March 6 game against the Knicks. I got it.” In a viral moment, James challenged Smith on the sidelines of the game after Smith had pleaded in an episode of “First Take” for James to step in “as a father” and stop the Lakers from giving Bronny James any playing time after Los Angeles drafted him with the 55th pick in the NBA draft. “Never would I ever not allow people to talk about the sport, criticize players about what they do on the court,” James said on “The Pat McAfee Show.” “ “But when you take it and you get personal with it, it’s my job to not only protect my damn household but protect the players.”

‘Highly vulnerable’ Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei may try to activate ‘sleeper cells’ in the West as Israeli onslaught mounts: expert
‘Highly vulnerable’ Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei may try to activate ‘sleeper cells’ in the West as Israeli onslaught mounts: expert PROTARAS, Cyprus — Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei may be attempting to activate terrorist “sleeper cells” across the West as he repeatedly makes inflammatory statements rejecting President Trump’s calls for surrender, Middle East experts say. The only place where it can really flex now is the international community to potentially activate sleeper cells and to conduct malign activities at an even greater capacity than it had beforehand.” Read the latest on the conflict between Israel and Iran - Trump to make final decision ‘within the next two weeks’ on US taking military action against Iran - Dozens of Iranian missiles strike major Israeli hospital and residential buildings — as Israel hits nuclear sites - Bill Clinton urges Trump to ‘defuse’ Israel-Iran crisis, end ‘outright constant killing of civilians’ - Trump says moments before Situation Room meeting that he hasn’t made a final decision about striking Iran — but will ‘one second before’ - Trump tells Netanyahu to ‘keep going’ with airstrikes, says he’s given Iran ‘ultimate ultimatum’ However, it’s unclear how much capability Tehran would retain if Israel manages to end the IRGC’s core components and officials. “Iran has historically used Hezbollah as a tool for its terror acts, and it is possible Iran could do so again.” Reuel Marc Gerecht, a resident scholar at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, noted that the track record of Iran’s overseas operatives demonstrates a lack of competence in their ability to actually carry out attacks.

Supplement touted as ‘nature’s Ozempic’ could help you lose weight — and prevent colorectal cancer
Bonus benefits for your heart “Psyllium husk may help lower cholesterol and other substances that promote heart disease,” Kim Yawitz, a registered dietician, told Men’s Health. A 2018 study found that taking 10 grams of psyllium daily significantly lowered levels of “bad” LDL cholesterol and may help delay atherosclerosis — the hardening of arteries that can increase the risk of heart attacks and strokes. For those with type 2 diabetes, psyllium may offer even more protection by slowing the absorption of glucose in the intestines, helping to lower high blood sugar levels and reduce cardiovascular risk.

Porn Star Kendra Lust Comes To Defense Of Caitlin Clark Over Ridiculous Treatment
Porn star Kendra Lust wasn’t a fan whatsoever of what happened Tuesday night with Indiana Fever superstar Caitlin Clark, as the phenom was popped in the eye and blasted down on the court in the blowout victory over the Connecticut Sun. Sun guard Marina Mabrey was the one who clobbered Clark to the ground, but despite that, referees only slapped her with a technical foul when she clearly should’ve been ejected. Clark was also dished a technical foul for pretty much defending herself, and Connecticut guard Jacy Sheldon was also given a tech for getting Clark in the eye.
