LGBT Pride ‘Youth Carnival’ Bars Parents From Attending
Organizers of a “Youth Carnival” sponsored by two Indiana LGBT+ associations and the Indianapolis Airport Authority will not allow parents to attend with their children.
According to an Instagram post by Indiana Youth Group, it is collaborating with IndyPride to hold the carnival for “youth” ages 12 to 20 at an activity center nicknamed “The Pit” on June 7 from 1 to 6 p.m.
The event, restricted to those “youth,” promises games, vendors, food, fun, and unspecified “entertainment.”
Indiana Youth Group describes itself as an organization that “serves young people ages 12-24 who self-identify as LGBTQ+, as well as their ally peers.” On its website, the group says it “strives to provide safer spaces to build self-confidence, explore individualism, and develop friendships within the LGBTQ+ community.”
Moms for Liberty founder Tiffany Justice, whose group champions parents’ rights, called this provision “a red flag.”
“Why would parents send their kids anywhere they aren’t welcome?” Justice asked The Daily Signal.
Jimmy Dore: All the proof you need that J6 was a massive “setup” in one convenient place…
The recent admission by the Biden administration that there were undercover federal agents present at the U.S. Capitol on January 6th, 2021 has sparked speculation and vindication for those who believed it was a coordinated operation. This revelation includes dozens of Justice Department plants, as well as FBI agents, Secret Service agents, and potentially other law enforcement personnel.
This is vindication for Revolver News and our early reporting; as we were among the first to call out the “Fedsurraction” and question Ray Epps’ potential involvement. We also covered that absurd pipe bomb story.
We took a lot of heat for it, but our reporting stood up to the test of time. We encourage you to read our reporting on January 6th. You can access our entire library of articles and information by clicking here.
Another person who has consistently been vocal about what really happened on January 6th is comedian and podcaster Jimmy Dore. Jimmy, who has always held the belief that January 6th was orchestrated by the federal government, sees this latest disclosure as confirmation of his viewpoint and does a tremendous job of breaking it all down in this video.

Just in case: Anxious retirees, social service groups among those making default contingency plans
Phoenix retiree Saundra Cole has been watching the news about the debt limit negotiations in Washington with dismay — and limiting her air conditioning use to save money just in case her monthly Social Security check is delayed due to a default.
For her, air conditioning is no small thing in a city where the average daily high hits 94 degrees in May. If the government can’t make good on its obligations, she says, “I would be devastated.”
“What I’m worried about is food banks and electricity here because you know, we’ve had deaths with seniors because of the heat,” says Cole.
Politicians in Washington may be offering assurance that the government will figure out a way to avert default, but around the country, economic anxiety is rising and some people already are adjusting their routines.
Tucker Carlson Issues Warning to Corporate Media: ‘The Old System Is Collapsing’
Carlson warns that the mainstream media provides information to voters that comes from just a handful of people who already have power and will never give it up.
The media has lied too many times to the American people but the public is now waking up.
From the Iraq war to the Trump-Russia hoax, the media has become propaganda.
“The old system is collapsing,” Carlson told Axios.
Carlson is not the only one cheering the end of the corporate media’s reign, however,

160-Plus Retired Military Brass Urge Congress To Root Out DOD’s Poisonous ‘Diversity’ And ‘Equity’ Programs
“As our Nation faces looming threats from ‘foreign’ adversaries/enemies, our military is under assault from a culture war stemming from ‘domestic’ ideologically inspired political policies and practices. … Our military must be laser focused on one mission — readiness, undiminished by the culture war engulfing our country,”
“To achieve equal outcomes using identity group characteristics, standards must be lowered to accommodate the desired equity outcomes. Lower standards reduce performance where even slight differences in capability impact readiness and can determine war fighting mission success or failure,” they wrote. Furthermore, obsession with identity causes “friction and distrust in the ranks, damaging unit cohesion, teamwork and unity of effort, further degrading readiness.”
Instead of DEI, the signatories advocated for a return to longstanding meritocratic military recruitment standards, pointing to a long history of true inclusivity and diversity that accompanied those standards.

Satellite Image Reveals Supersonic Drone At Chinese Military Base
In a separate image, the drone was recently unveiled at a military parade.
Last month, a secret document from the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency said the Chinese military could soon deploy a high-altitude spy drone that travels at Mach 3, or three times the speed of sound, at an altitude of 100,000 feet.
The document was seen by The Washington Post in April and initially posted on a Discord server by a member of the Massachusetts Air National Guard.
According to Andreas Rupprecht, who studies Chinese military aviation, the spy drone was seen at Lu’an Airbase, home to the 29th Air Regiment of the People’s Liberation Army Air Force’s 10th Bomber Division.
Germany: Police carry out nationwide raids against climate activists
Police in Germany on Wednesday (May 24) searched 15 properties across the country over protests by Last Generation, a climate activist group. In Munich, prosecutors are investigating seven suspects aged between 22 and 38.
There is suspicion that they were forming or supporting a criminal organisation, said police in a statement. No arrests have reportedly been made.
The suspects are believed to have been raising funds to finance further crimes on behalf of Last Generation. The police say that they have collected at least 1.4 million euros ($1.54 million) in donations.
It is suspected that two of the defendants sabotaged the Trieste-Ingolstadt oil pipeline. It is considered critical infrastructure and hence, is subject to special protection.
Google, European Union to develop AI pact ahead of new Artificial Intelligence rules, says EU industry chief
European Union industry chief Thierry Breton, on Wednesday, said that Google’s parent company Alphabet and the European Commission plan to create an artificial intelligence (AI) pact calling for European and non-European companies ahead of rules to govern the technology.
Breton earlier met Google CEO, Sundar Pichai in Brussels. After the meeting, he released a statement saying, “Sundar and I agreed that we cannot afford to wait until AI regulation actually becomes applicable, and to work together with all AI developers to already develop an AI pact on a voluntary basis ahead of the legal deadline.”
He further urged the European Union countries and lawmakers to decide on the details of the Commission’s proposed AI rules before the end of the year. Both groups are yet to start negotiations to straighten out their differences.
Calvin Klein ad featuring trans man sparks backlash
The advert, which was initially shared as part of the Calvin Klein Pride 2022 Campaign, went viral this week after it was reposted on Twitter by Dr. Anastasia Maria Loupis, who posted: ‘Calvin Klein wants to go broke.’
Images from the same shoot are still being used on Calvin Klein’s British website.
Other users were stunned by the advert, with one writing: ‘Disgusting and I love Calvin Klein jeans. This is not a great ad for his clothes at all. Stop bowing down to all these demands, as this will only hurt your brand in the long run.’

Syrian brothers arrested in Germany planned to blow up packed Swedish church
In a joint press release by German federal police, Hamburg state police, and the Hamburg public prosecutor’s office, authorities revealed that two Syrian nationals had been intending to detonate a homemade bomb on an unspecified Christian place of worship in the Scandinavian country.
Anas K., 28, and Ahmad K., 24, were arrested at their homes in Hamburg and Kempten in the early hours of April 25 as police executed an arrest warrant for the former for terrorist financing.
They soon discovered the brothers had been preparing to build a homemade explosive belt to attack civilians, with police also recovering substantial evidence including chemicals consistent with bomb-making and a number of burner phones.

Shock poll: 60% of Green voters agree mass immigration is driving housing crisis in German state of Baden-Württemberg
In a sign that Germany’s open-door immigration policy is increasingly being rejected by more and more voters, polling data from one of Germany’s largest states, Baden-Württemberg, shows that 68 percent of voters there believe the federal government’s migration policy is exacerbating the housing shortage.
The poll, from INSA and commissioned by the Alternative for Germany (AfD) parliamentary group in Baden-Württemberg, showed 68 percent believe the government’s policy is harming the housing market, while only 19 percent of people were convinced otherwise.
Although INSA performed the polling for the AfD, it is considered one of the most respected polling firms in the country and performs polling directly for a variety of parties.
The poll has some surprising results, with 60 percent of Green voters saying they fear the influx of migrants will worsen the housing market. However, far higher numbers were recorded for other parties, including 72 percent of Social Democrats (SPD) voters, 74 percent of Christian Democratic Union (CDU) voters, and 82 percent of AfD voters

Head of Russian private army Wagner says more than 20,000 of his troops died in Bakhmut battle
KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — The head of the Russian private army Wagner says his force lost more than 20,000 men in the drawn-out battle for Bakhmut, with about half of those who died in the eastern Ukrainian city being Russian convicts recruited to fight in the 15-month-old war.
The figure stood in stark contrast to the widely disputed claims from Moscow that just over 6,000 of its troops were killed throughout the war as of January. By comparison, official Soviet troop losses in the 1979-89 Afghanistan war were 15,000.
Ukraine hasn’t said how many of its soldiers have died since Russia’s full-scale invasion began in February 2022.
Analysts believe the nine-month fight for Bakhmut alone has killed tens of thousands of soldiers, among them Russian convicts who reportedly received little training before being sent to the front.

Hemingway: Democrats’ Widespread Attempts To Imprison Their Top Political Opponent Make Powerful Case For Trump
“What we’re dealing with is the Democrat Party, in many different places and locations, is trying to be Vladimir Putin-like in putting their primary political opponent in prison.
And so it doesn’t just excite the base to remind them what they’re dealing with and how much they see the threat to the country that has been happening through this politicization of the rule of law.
It just kind of makes the case for why you need someone like Trump, someone willing to take on this establishment regime which seems willing to run roughshod over the Constitution and everything else in order to destroy their primary political opponent,” said Federalist Editor-in-Chief Mollie Hemingway.

House, now Senate press Durham to testify after final report shows flimsy Russia collusion probe
Durham isn’t testifying this week, but a congressional source told Just the News on Tuesday he’s expected to testify before Jordan’s GOP-led committee sometime in June.
Senate Republicans are pushing the chairman of the Judiciary Committee, Illinois Democrat Sen. Dick Durbin, to hold a hearing on the Durham report’s findings – which concluded the FBI had no “actual evidence” to begin investigating allegations the 2016 Trump presidential campaign colluded with Russia to win the election.
North Carolina Sen. Thom Tillis was among 10 Senate Republicans to write a formal letter to Durbin on Monday calling on him to invite Durham to testify before the committee.
Here’s A Big Tell Democrats Believe The FBI Works For Them
One proof is that in last week’s hearing on FBI weaponization, support for the FBI was split exactly by political party.
Democrats uniformly supported the FBI in face of evidence of gross and systemic abuse of power, while Republicans uniformly criticized it.
This is a clear tell that Democrats consider the FBI to be working for them — a shocking and dangerous situation.
During that hearing, it was also revealed that the Bank of America gave the FBI private banking information about any American who used BOA credit cards near the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, without any warrant, and regardless of whether those people committed any crimes or even were on the Capitol grounds that day.
When federal law enforcement becomes the shock troops of only one political party, you don’t have the rule of law anymore. Law is only legitimate if it is equally applied to all. When members of one party or set of political beliefs are above the law and use the law not for justice but as a weapon against their political enemies, that’s what we call a police state.
