#1 – Republican Who Impeached Trump Learns a Hard Lesson About His New Friends — by Bonchie
For me, the problem here isn’t that Meijer impeached Trump. If he really felt that was the right move, I’d disagree with him, but he was within his capacity as a House member to do so, and it’s possible for someone to be principled and wrong at the same time. What’s laughable, though, is how naive Meijer was in believing that such a move would insulate him.
He tries desperately to prove his virtue to Democrats, who want to defeat him. His op ed is nothing but political flailing. “I am the only freshman in history to impeach a president of his own party” he proclaims, making me wonder if he would like a cookie. Simply put, you should have sufficient self-respect not to be tempted to compromise your friends by impeaching the president of your party on the basis of no evidence.
#2 – New Details on Paul Pelosi Arrest Reveal He Allegedly Had More Than Just Alcohol in His System — by Nick Arama
According to the report, both cars suffered “major collision damage” in the crash that happened around 10:17 p.m. on May 28. Medical units from CalFire were the first on the scene, followed by a deputy from the Napa County Sheriff’s Department. When the California Highway Patrol arrived, they found Paul Pelosi still in the driver’s seat, the only occupant in the car. He was not in his sport-utility vehicle. Each driver declined to be treated for medical reasons at the scene.
When Pelosi was asked for ID, he handed them his driver’s license and an “11-99 Foundation” card. California Highway Patrol’s 11-99 Foundation provides scholarships and support for officers. That’s a “look, I’m good to you, be good to me” effort on his part.
#3 – Saudi Arabia Humiliates Joe Biden With Major Oil Announcement — by Bonchie
It is this what complete failure looks like. The President of the United States went to the Middle East to beg a country he had previously tried to make a “pariah” for oil. Why? Because Biden’s own domestic energy policies have been so disastrous. After that, the president returned to Washington with no agreement and chose rhetoric over substance. Now, the results of that are in, and the Saudis aren’t even pretending to have played along. It’s yet another embarrassment for Biden and the nation.
This is the danger of having the world’s worst foreign policy “expert” in the White House. Biden is known for being wrong on all major geopolitical issues over the past half century. Now you have his plan to penalize the Saudis and elevate Iran to that list. It didn’t have to be this way. Trump left a better Middle East at the table with Israel and Arab nations moving towards a historic peace. Biden just had to enjoy his ice cream and continue the status quo. Everyone was happy.
#4 – Clever Students Hilariously Turn Table on Woke School Teacher During ‘Pronoun Usage’ Talk — by Sister Toldjah
This was true for one TikTok elementary school teacher who sought help from TikTokers when the topic of pronouns suddenly popped up in her combination 5th-and 6th-grade classroom.
One of her students had chastised her for not using his preferred pronouns. After he acknowledged that she was correct, she asked what his pronouns would be. He replied that he was both a banana or a rock. Although she criticised him for making light of the notion of preferred pronouns and she continued to scold him, she pointed out that her views were not shared by the students. He agreed that he could identify any way he liked.
This highly confused the woke teacher, who then pleaded for her followers on TikTok to let her know “is it” true that a banana and rock really could be someone’s pronouns?
#5 – Trans Cheerleader Allegedly Strangles Squad Member After Phobia Inflames the ‘Man With a Penis’ — by Alex Parker
According to ’90s high school movies, cheerleading is a drama den. Things went horribly wrong at the Texas cheer camp.
Ranger College’s squad was having its on-campus training when a scuffle commenced. Unbeknownst to Ranger College’s cheerleaders, one choked the other amid all of it.
Averie Chanel Medlock is the one who was arrested for the crime. The athlete was expelled from camp in the wake of the incident.
Averie is a biological male, but the 25-year-old identifies as a girl. Per the New York Post, that particular played prominently:
