Breitbart The farmer movements are leading the charge against the “degrowth” agenda of the far-left and neo-liberal elites which has used the green agenda as a pretence to impoverish the people of Europe, a French Member of the European Parliament said. Speaking to Breitbart London ahead of the European Parliament elections this week, Patricia Chagnon, an MEP for the populist National Rally (RN) party in France, said that the people are “waking up” to the realities of the green agenda, with the farmer movements leading the charge against the Brussels technocrats pushing it down the throats of the rest of Europe. The farmer protests in Europe, which emerged in The Netherlands in 2019 as tractors poured out onto highways and shut down infrastructure in opposition to the EU-led plan to shut down thousands of farms to meet dubious biodiversity and nitrogen emissions targets, have spread throughout the entire bloc, with major protests being seen in Belgium France, Germany, Spain, Portugal, Poland and elsewhere over the past year, alone.

Axios The average rate on the 30-year fixed mortgage fell back under 7% this week, per Freddie Mac. The dip is a reflection of renewed optimism that the Federal Reserve will cut rates. But rates are still very high, a continuing turn-off for would-be buyers. Yields on 10-year Treasury bonds, which are tied to mortgage rates, dipped this week in the wake of what Axios’ Neil Irwin calls “a drumbeat of data points” that seem to show the economy is cooling.

New York Post NATO is mapping out “land corridors” to enable US troops and other allied forces to reach the front lines quicker in the event of a broader European ground war with Russia.

City Journal A few years ago, Texas Children’s Hospital made no secret of its support for transgender medicine. Its doctors proudly administered puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and other medical interventions to children who self-identified as “trans.” Then the tone shifted. In the face of public pressure, CEO Mark Wallace announced that he was shutting down the child gender clinic. But doctors at the hospital, including Richard Ogden Roberts, David Paul, and Kristy Rialon, never stopped. The public would not have known if not for a courageous surgeon, Eithan Haim, who felt morally obligated to expose the subterfuge. He contacted me about how the hospital had lied about terminating the transgender medicine program, and that doctors were, in fact, continuing to perform sex-change procedures on children as young as 11.

Catholic News Agency A federal judge ruled to remove the requirement that women have three in-person doctor visits before receiving a chemical abortion drug. The judge approved at-home chemical abortions and allowed any North Carolina health care provider to prescribe the abortion pills. The decision also removes reporting requirements for nonfatal complications from abortion drugs. U.S. District Judge Catherine Eagles upheld some protections such as requiring an in-person consultation, examination, and ultrasound before obtaining a prescription for the drugs required for chemical abortions. While abortion advocates have hailed this as a victory, Christian organization North Carolina Values says the ruling may put women at risk by allowing “dangerous DIY in-home abortions” and put women at risk of forced chemical abortions, when abortion pills are smuggled into a mother’s drink without her knowledge or consent.

The Daily Beast Steve Bannon was ordered to report to jail by July 1 by a federal judge in D.C. on Thursday, likely ending a years-long legal saga. The former Trump adviser was convicted in 2022 of contempt of Congress after he refused to comply with a subpoena issued by the House January 6 committee. In October of that year, D.C. District Court Judge Carl J. Nichols sentenced Bannon to four months in prison, on top of a fine, but held off on imposing the jail time while Bannon appealed. However, the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals shot down Bannon’s defense last month, leading the Justice Department to ask Nichols to finally put Bannon in the slammer. READ THE FULL STORY

Breitbart Farmers from across Europe took to their tractors again, swarming Brussels and blockading the border between France and Spain to firmly plant their opposition to the globalist Green Deal agenda in the minds of voters as they head to the polls for the European Parliament elections this week. “Farmers of the world, unite!” was the slogan as tractors shut down the Franco-Spanish border on both sides of the Pyrenees starting on Monday, according to Le Figaro, which reported that around 200 to 300 French farmers joined the protest which blocked at least seven crossings before disbanding on Tuesday. Spain’s ABC newspaper reports that the farmers demanded that the EU’s Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) be “centred on the farmer”, rather than seeing subsidies flow to multinational growers or large landowners.

The New York Post While the Biden administration is attempting to look like it’s getting tough on the border, behind the scenes it’s operating a program of a “mass amnesty” for migrants, The Post can reveal. Data shows that since 2022, more than 350,000 asylum cases filed by migrants have been closed by the US government if the applicants don’t have a criminal record or are otherwise not deemed a threat to the country. This means that while the migrants are not granted or denied asylum — their cases are “terminated without a decision on the merits of their asylum claim” — they are removed from the legal system and no longer required to check in with authorities.

The Post Millenial Alex Soros, son and heir of Democrat mega-donor George Soros, urged Democrats to refer to Trump as “a convicted felon at every opportunity” to try to sway voters. This follows Trump’s conviction on 34 counts of falsification of business records in New York on Thursday in a case brought by Sorod-backed DA Alvin Bragg. “Democrats should refer to Trump as a convicted felon at every opportunity,” Soros wrote. “Repetition is the key to a successful message and we want people to wrestle with the notion of hiring a convicted felon for the most important job in the country!”  Soros included a link to a Substack piece titled “How Trump’s Conviction Could Cost Him The Election,” written by Pod Save America co-host Dan Pfeiffer. “Democratic messaging doesn’t need to trigger Trump into reacting, but calling him a convicted felon at every opportunity has the added benefit of being persuasive with voters (and royally p*ssing off the convict at the same time),” Pfeiffer wrote.

Breitbart   Voters worry more about President Joe Biden’s inflationary and open border policies than former President Donald Trump’s abortion policy, Cook Report/BSG/GS Strategy Group polling confirmed Thursday. The polling appears to confirm that Trump’s immigration and economic messages sabotage and undermine the attraction of Biden’s most popular 2024 issue, health care, and thus essentially diminish Biden’s political appeal. Abortion is a state issue, Trump’s policy essentially dictates, while Biden believes it is a federal issue. Biden holds higher approval marks on the question of abortion, but his approval of abortion does not outweigh Trump’s popular economic and immigration policies, the poll found.

The proposal could resolve three major antitrust lawsuits against the NCAA that carry the threat of billions in damages, a blow that would cripple the organization founded in 1906 that oversees some 500,000 athletes in dozens of sports. If approved by a judge, it would further upend the NCAA’s longstanding amateur sports model by allowing revenue-sharing by schools with their athletes, who were allowed to begin earning endorsement money less than three years ago.
