Sorry PBS, Trump’s L.A. Military Deployments Were Not So Unprecedented– www.newsbusters.org

Few words are as frequently misused to garner attention as the phrase “unprecedented.” Contrary to the way liberal media likes to throw the word around, everything you disagree with is not considered unprecedented. There is, of course, quite a bit of precedent for news stations like PBS using their platform to complain about “unprecedented” Republican politics.

During PBS NewsHour’s coverage of the Los Angeles riots Monday, host Geoff Bennett emphasized the unprecedented nature of both President Trump’s disregard of Governor Newsom’s rejection of National Guard support and his deployment of Marines to the city to keep the peace. Naturally, there was actually precedent for both these actions.

That didn’t matter to Bennett or his guest, Juliette Kayyem, former Obama homeland-security official and CNN pundit. When asked about the implications of Trump’s supposedly unprecedented decisions, she responded:

There’s not only no precedent to this. There’s no sort of check on it. We don’t know if this is the standard, if what happened in L.A. is the standard now for federalizing the National Guard and deployment of active military. The Trump administration has so lowered the floor and the distinction between civil and military actions, that they appear now to be one and the same.

Mayor Karen Bass has finally done something constructive and in the process, admitted the problem that she’s been trying to deny. She declared a local emergency and issued a curfew for downtown Los Angeles.

Bass should have done this by Saturday night, instead of bloviating ’til now. She acknowledged more than twenty businesses had been looted. She said the graffiti was everywhere and had caused significant damage to businesses and properties. She warned people would be arrested if they break the curfew. She explained that hundreds of officers from across the state were working with LAPD.

Los Angeles police swiftly enforced a downtown curfew, making arrests moments after it took effect, while deploying officers on horseback and using crowd control projectiles to break up a group of hundreds demonstrating against President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown.

Members of the National Guard stood watch behind plastic shields, but did not appear to participate in the arrests Tuesday night.

Hours later, many of the protesters had dispersed, although sporadic confrontations continued that were much smaller than in previous nights. Officials said the curfew was necessary to stop vandalism and theft by agitators looking to cause trouble.

The demonstrations have been mostly concentrated downtown and the curfew covers a 1-square-mile section that includes an area where protests have occurred since Friday in the sprawling city of 4 million. The city of Los Angeles encompasses roughly 500 square miles.

FIRST ON FOX – The Department of Homeland Security on Wednesday announced that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested a previously deported illegal immigrant from Mexico after he allegedly threw a Molotov cocktail at law enforcement amid rioting in Los Angeles on June 7.

LA has experienced days of unrest, with agitators setting fire to cars, throwing bricks and fireworks at police officers and vehicles, graffiting property, looting businesses, and smashing windows of the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) headquarters downtown in response to ICE raids in the city last week.

Emiliano Garduno-Galvez is charged with attempted murder after throwing the Molotov cocktail.

“Emiliano Garduno-Galvez is a criminal illegal alien from Mexico who threatened the lives of federal law enforcement officers by attacking them with a Molotov cocktail during the violent riots in Los Angeles. ICE arrested Garduno-Galvez, and he is now being charged with attempted murder. These are the types of criminal illegal aliens that rioters are fighting to protect,” Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said in a Wednesday statement.

California Governor Gavin Newsom understands what Trump is really after in his state. Trump is trying to get the authority to use the military to go into states to help with immigration raids.

The problem that the Trump administration has run into is that they don’t have enough people in ICE to be able to meet its imposed quota of 3,000 deportations a day.

State and local police in blue states and large cities have refused to cooperate with Trump’s deportation efforts, which means that the administration has turned to trying to use the military.

The AP reported that Gov. Newsom is taking action to block Trump:

The governor’s request said it was in response to a change in orders for the Guard.

The filing included a declaration from Paul Eck, deputy general counsel in the California Military Department. Eck said the department has been informed that the Pentagon plans to direct the California National Guard to start providing support for immigration operations. That support would include holding secure perimeters around areas where raids are taking place and securing streets for immigration agents.

Elon Musk backs off from feud with Trump, saying posts ‘went too far’– www.nydailynews.com

Elon Musk stepped back from his explosive feud with U.S. President Donald Trump, writing on X that he regrets some of his posts about his onetime ally and that they went “too far.”

Early Wednesday morning, he posted “I regret some of my posts about President @realDonaldTrump last week. They went too far.”

Musk’s break with a president whom he spent hundreds of millions of dollars to elect appeared to put an end to his influence in the White House and prompted concerns about effects on his companies. As a major government contractor, Musk’s businesses could be particularly vulnerable to retribution, and Trump has already threatened to cut Musk’s contracts.

Musk earlier deleted a post in which he claimed without evidence that the government was concealing information about the president’s association with infamous pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. Meanwhile, other posts that irritated Trump, including ones in which Musk called the spending bill an “abomination” and claimed credit for Trump’s election victory, remained live.

On Sunday, Trump told NBC’s Kristen Welker that he has no desire to repair their relationship and warned that Musk could face “ serious consequences ” if he tries to help Democrats in upcoming elections.

Alarm spread through California agricultural centers Tuesday as panicked workers reported that federal immigration authorities — who had largely refrained from major enforcement action in farming communities in the first months of the Trump administration — were showing up at farm fields and packinghouses from the Central Coast to the San Joaquin Valley.

“Today we are seeing an uptick in the chaotic presence of immigration enforcement, particularly the Border Patrol,” said Elizabeth Strater, vice president of the United Farm Workers. “We’re seeing it in multiple areas.”

Department of Homeland Security officials declined to confirm specific locations, but said enforcement actions were taking place across the southern area of the state. Advocates from numerous immigrant advocacy groups said their phones were lighting up with calls, videos and texts from multiple counties.

The Times reviewed a video that showed a worker running through a field under the cover of early morning fog, with at least one agent in pursuit on foot and a Border Patrol truck racing along an adjacent dirt road. Eventually, the worker was caught.

In Tulare County, near the community of Richgrove, immigration agents emerged near a field where farm laborers were picking blueberries, causing some

Members of the Fulbright scholarship board resign, accusing Trump of meddling– abcnews.go.com

Excerpt:

All 12 members of the board overseeing the prestigious Fulbright scholarships on Wednesday resigned in protest of what they call the Trump administration’s meddling with the selection of award recipients, according to a statement.

A statement published online by the board members said the administration usurped the board’s authority by denying awards to “a substantial number of people” who already had been chosen. Another 1,200 award recipients who were already approved to come to the U.S. are undergoing an unauthorized review process that could lead to their rejection, the board members said.

“To continue to serve after the Administration has consistently ignored the Board’s request that they follow the law would risk legitimizing actions we believe are unlawful and damage the integrity of this storied program and America’s credibility abroad,” the statement reads.

Congress established the Fulbright program nearly 80 years ago to promote international exchange and American diplomacy. The highly selective program awards about 9,000 scholarships annually in the U.S. and in more than 160 other countries to students, scholars, and professionals in a range of fields.

Gallup Poll Shows Americans are More Pro-Life on Abortion Than Last Year– www.lifenews.com

Excerpt:

Today, Gallup released the results of its annual survey on abortion. Overall, the news is good for pro-lifers. A range of survey questions indicate that there was actually a slight increase in pro-life sentiment in 2025.

Overall, 43 percent of respondents identified as “pro-life,” a two percentage point gain from last year’s Gallup survey. There were also small gains in the percentage of people who thought abortion was “morally wrong” and the percentage of people who thought abortion should either be “illegal” or “legal in only a few circumstances.”

Most of the media coverage of this most recent Gallup poll has focused on a growing gender gap in abortion attitudes. From the mid-1990s into the late 2010s, most Gallup surveys found that men and women had fairly similar attitudes on abortion. As recently as 2019, men were actually more likely than women to identify as “pro-choice.” However, this most recent survey showed that 61 percent of women identified as “pro-choice” as opposed to only 41 percent of men — a 20 percentage point gender gap.

A Chinese researcher allegedly tried to smuggle biological materials into the US from Wuhan and lied to the feds about the secretive scheme.

Chengxuan Han was arrested Sunday after landing at the Detroit Metropolitan airport on a flight from Shanghai, according to charging documents. She was charged with smuggling goods into the US and making false statements.

Han is the third Chinese scientist to be charged with smuggling illegal biological materials into Michigan in recent weeks.

Yunqing Jian, 33, and her boyfriend Zunyong Liu, 34, were caught last year allegedly trying to smuggle samples of a dangerous crop-killing fungus into the US, the FBI said. Jian, a Communist Party loyalist and lab researcher at the University of Michigan who received Chinese government funding for her work, was charged last week in a ploat the national security insiders called “an attack on US food supply.”

Upon Han’s arrival to the US, border officers discovered Han sent four packages that “contained biological material related to round worms” from China, according to court documents

The packages, which were sent in both 2024 and 2025, were addressed to individuals associated with a laboratory at the University of Michigan.

Trump Economy Spurs ‘Unexpected’ Job Growth– lidblog.com

Excerpt:

 

The Trump economy has once again shocked the pundits and “experts”,” this time by adding 139,000 jobs, which is about 15,000 more than the “experts” predicted.

Economists expected only about 125,000 jobs to be added to the workforce, though they did successfully predict that the unemployment rate would remain steady at 4.2 percent.

Amazingly, this higher job growth rate came even though the federal government has shed tens of thousands of jobs.

ABC News was even forced to admit that the unemployment rate is at historic lows.

Per Breitbart News:

President Donald Trump’s program of shrinking the federal government is showing signs of progress. Employment in the federal government fell by 22,000 in May and is down 59,000 since January.

The private sector added 140,000 jobs, more than the 120,000 forecast. The services sector expanded by 145,000 jobs while the good producing side of the economy contracted by 5,000. Manufacturing employment contracted by 8,000 jobs but the prior month’s figure was revised up from a loss of 1,000 to a gain of 5,000.

Over the past 12 months, the economy has added 149,000 jobs each month on average.

The labor force participation rate slipped to 62.4 from 62.6 in the prior month.

Average hourly earnings climbed at a rapid rate, rising 0.4 percent in May. That is double the April rate of increase and more than the consensus forecast. Compared with a year ago, average hourly earnings are up 3.9 percent, handily beating inflation.

22 States Support Couple Who Lost Foster Care License in Vermont Because They’re Christians– www.lifenews.com

Free speech and religious freedom advocates, groups speaking out on the harms of radical gender ideology, and 22 states have filed friend-of-the-court briefs in support of two Vermont families who had their foster-care licenses revoked by Vermont because of their religious beliefs. On May 30, Alliance Defending Freedom attorneys representing the families filed their opening brief with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 2nd Circuit in Wuoti v. Winters.

Despite a track record of success and high praise from social workers who knew Brian and Katy Wuoti and Bryan and Rebecca Gantt, Vermont’s Department for Children and Families revoked their foster-care licenses after the couples expressed their religiously inspired and widely held belief that girls cannot become boys or vice versa. The state applies this policy categorically—prohibiting families with these views from caring for any child, even if they sought to care for a relative, provide respite care for an infant for just one day, or care for a child who shared their faith.

“Vermont’s foster-care system is in crisis: There aren’t enough families to care for vulnerable kids,” said ADF Senior Counsel Johannes Widmalm-Delphonse. “As numerous states have attested, religious families play a critical role in the foster-care system. Yet instead of inviting families from diverse backgrounds to help care for vulnerable kids, Vermont is shutting the door on them, putting its ideological agenda ahead of the needs of suffering kids. When it comes to finding kids a loving home, everyone should be able to recognize that the needs of kids should come first. And even Vermont agrees that the Wuotis and the Gantts are loving and caring parents willing to open their door to any child.”

Asteroid 2024 YR4, once considered the highest impact risk to Earth ever recorded, is back in the spotlight — this time due to a slight increase in the chance that it could impact the moon in 2032.

Although now too distant to observe from Earth, the asteroid briefly came into view in May for the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). Using data from the telescope’s Near-Infrared Camera, a team led by Andy Rivkin of the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory refined predictions of where 2024 YR4 will be on Dec. 22, 2032 by nearly 20%. That revised trajectory nudged the odds of a lunar impact from 3.8% to 4.3%, according to a NASA update.

“As data comes in, it is normal for the impact probability to evolve,” the statement read. Even if a collision occurs, “it would not alter the moon’s orbit.”

New discovery: Tylenol stops pain at the nerves, before it hits the brain– www.sciencedaily.com

Excerpt:

A new study from Hebrew University reveals that acetaminophen doesn’t just work in the brain — it also blocks pain at its source by acting on nerve endings in the body. The researchers found that its active metabolite, AM404, shuts down specific sodium channels in pain-sensing neurons, stopping pain signals before they reach the brain. This discovery not only reshapes our understanding of how one of the world’s most common painkillers works, but also opens the door to developing safer, more targeted pain treatments.

A breakthrough study from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, published this week in the prestigious journal PNAS (Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences USA), reveals a previously unknown peripheral mechanism by which acetaminophen (also known as paracetamol, Tylenol®, or Panadol®) relieves pain.

The study was led by Prof. Alexander Binshtok from the Hebrew University’s Faculty of Medicine and Center for Brain Sciences (ELSC) and Prof. Avi Priel from its School of Pharmacy. Together, they uncovered a surprising new way that acetaminophen — one of the world’s most common painkillers — actually works.

Addiction medicine specialist Dr Drew Pinsky broke down Elon Musk’s abnormal behavior that prompted an exchange of salvos with President Donald Trump. Appearing on Newsmax to discuss on Elon Musk’s Asperger’s syndrome that Musk himself admitted in 2021 on Saturday Night Live, Dr Pinsky said there’s more than just Asperger’s.
Dr Pinsky said he respect Elon Musk, read his biography and thinks he is a great guy, a very successful man but there is a flip side of that success that Musk probably has hypomania. Dr Pinsky said he got to know from Musk’s biography that Musk had has phases of hypomanic binges where he worked for hours without sleeping.
Musk probably suffers from hypomania that many successful people have. Hypomania has the risk of turning into mania which makes one irritable with a lack of risk assessment which means they can’t grasp the significance or the repercussion of what they are doing. “Is he bipolar, I don’t know,” Dr Pinsky said adding to what Donald Trump called as Trump Derangement System.

Researchers: “We Do Not Suggest” Antipsychotics for Depression– www.madinamerica.com

Excerpt:

The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved several antipsychotic drugs as an augmentation strategy for “treatment-resistant depression,” including aripiprazole (Abilify), quetiapine (Seroquel), and olanzapine (Zyprexa).

But in a new study, researchers found that these drugs were no better than trying another antidepressant—and that they come with increased risk of death.

The researchers investigated whether a third trial of antidepressants or an antipsychotic was the better strategy to reduce suicide attempts and suicide death. There was no difference between the drugs on suicide-related outcomes.

“Because antipsychotic augmentation did not reduce the risk of suicide-related outcomes, we do not suggest the use of antipsychotic augmentation for those with treatment-resistant depression,” the researchers write.

Astronomers have found a cluster of giant asteroids co-orbiting the Sun with Venus—space rocks that might become a long-term hazard for Earth. These are not ordinary asteroids. Sometimes referred to as city killers because of their size, many are bigger than 140 meters; they are big enough to wipe out a whole urban centre upon impact. More concerning is that they can be hidden from our telescopes by the Sun’s intense glare.These so-called co-orbital asteroids don’t move in orbit around Venus but follow similar orbits around the Sun. Out of the 20 discovered to date, there are “Trojan” asteroids, which stay either in front of or behind Venus in its orbit, and a quasi-moon called Zoozve. They are said to have originated from the main asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter and were later drawn into Venus’s vicinity by gravitational forces.

U.S. tennis player Coco Gauff has become the first American woman to win the French Open since 2015 and after her victory Sunday, and she claimed she is very patriotic to be an American… but only for “people that look like her.”

Gauff, 21, defeated world No. 1 ranked Aryna Sabalenka in three sets Sunday to take the Open, and after the game she was asked what it is like representing America on the world circuit.

“It means a lot. Obviously, there’s a lot going on in our country right now,” Gauff said, according to Fox News. “Just to be a representation of that and a representation of people that look like me in America, who maybe don’t feel as supported during this time period. Being that reflection of hope and light for those people.”

She then insisted that America is in a “down period” because Donald Trump is president.

“I remember after the election and everything, it felt like a down period a little bit. My mom told me during Riyadh, try to win the tournament just to give people something to smile for. That’s what I was thinking about today,” the tennis star bloviated.

Oh, but she still claims to be “patriotic.” At least for “people who look like her.”

“Some people may feel some type of way about being patriotic and things like that, but I’m definitely patriotic. I’m proud to be American. I’m proud to represent Americans that look like me and people who kind of support the things that I support,” she explained.

This is the third Chinese national accused of smuggling biological materials into Michigan. Despite last week’s arrest of Chinese agroterrorists, China continues to wage bio-war on the United States.

Authorities say Chengxuan Han is a doctoral student at the College of Life Science and Technology in the Huazhong University of Science and Technology in Wuhan, China.

Agroterrorist Han is from Huazhong University of Science and Technology, which works closely with China’s military and defense industry.

On June 8, Chengxuan Han was stopped by U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers at Detroit Metropolitan Airport after arriving on a J1 visa. Officers inspected Han, who, during that time, reportedly lied to officials about the packages and the biological materials she is accused of previously sending to the U.S. Officers say Han related content from an electronic device three days before arriving in the U.S.
