Charley Hull posts the low round of the championship today, a 6-under 65. Birdied the last two to get to 3-under total.

Hull has four runner-up finishes in the majors. Still waiting on her first major victory.

🚨 California Passed "The Stop Nick Shirley Act":
This week the California Assembly passed AB 2624. This bill will criminalize investigative journalism involving the immigrant population. It would have made it illegal to expose the Somali "Learing" center if it were in California or the Armenian hospice fraud in LA if they claimed "reasonable fear."

The bill protects "immigration support services providers," which means services provided to immigrants, including health care. It has been proven that millions, potentially billions, of dollars in fraud has taken place in "immigrant support services” which includes nonprofits and NGOs the state funds.

California is trying to make it harder to expose fraud and scare individuals from investigating it as they could be forced and sued to remove the video, forced to pay attorney fees, and ordered to pay a minimum of $4,000 in damages.

This bill was created by Mia Bonta (the attorney general's wife). She has made 4 separate versions of this bill because each version violates the 1st Amendment and is extremely unconstitutional.

Plain and simple, California politicians need the fraud to continue because they depend on the fraud to push their agendas. END ALL THE FRAUD.

Good summary. But it now turns out that the fake news about potentially indicting this weird fabricator is just that, fake news. She's not the target of the Illinois U.S Attorney, her funders and enablers are. https://t.co/26VWioRc0l Reid Hoffman should be sweating bullets along with various NY and DC lawyers.

[Dries Van Langenhove @DVanLangenhove]

A very sad announcement.

I have just been convicted a second time for 'hate speech' and it is only due to a technicality that I could not immediately be sent to jail —to the judge's frustration.

In an ironic turn of events it's actually thanks to my previous prison sentence (for memes in a private group chat) that I am now still free —in a physical sense, at least.

Call me naive but I didn't think they would take it this far, given that this precedent criminalises many of the arguments used by even the most moderate politicians critical of mass migration.

In February 2024 I gave a lecture at Catholic University Leuven wherein I linked mass migration to crime and a deterioration of our quality of life. Every single point I made was 100% the truth and based on scientific evidence.

Cynically, even the judge that convicted me admits as much by writing in his verdict: “Even if all of the statements made by Van Langenhove are based on scientific evidence and statistics, it makes no difference to the criminal intent. Van Langenhove is not charged with spreading false information. He is charged with presenting facts in a way that incites hatred against persons on the grounds of one or more of the protected criteria in the Anti-Racism Law.”

That's a lot of words just to say he wants to send me to prison for speaking the truth.

Even the regime media write: "It did not matter to the court that Van Langenhove was quoting scientific sources. The judge argued that Van Langenhove's main message was that a big part of the societal problems like insecurity, housing shortages and lowering educational standards are due to mass migration."

You may think the regime media are being sympathetic to me in the first sentence, but in reality they are warning people: even if you speak the truth, if you go against our narrative, we will crush you in every way possible.

Both the public prosecutor and the judge did not present a single real argument as to how or against whom I would have incited hatred. So even if I would accept their crazy, dystopic law, I still did not break it.

The only argument they present is that I created a "hostile atmosphere of us versus them” in regards to migrants. But even this silly argument (which is not even a punishable offence) is not true. To me, the deadly disease is self-hatred and one of its worst symptoms is replacement migration. My enemy is thus NOT the migrants themselves but those orchestrating the mass migration.

Sadly, in Belgium, evidence is not needed and ‘vibes’ are enough to put someone in jail.

Given the fact that I have another court case coming up in September and that I have a dozen active criminal investigations for hate speech, time is running out for me. I have already paid more than €420,000 in legal fees and there is no ending in sight. I have been in an intense battle of attrition for eight years and must now regroup to make sure I can still win.

If you want to help me, you can do so via the links below. If you can help in other ways, please contact me via DM.

If you live in a country that still has free speech, never let them touch it, however noble they make the motives sound, because this is where it leads to.

LEGACY: @DNIGabbard declassified highly sensitive records and internal documents from the Obama White House.

The records make an even stronger case that the 2016 Russia collusion narrative was not rooted in credible intelligence.

Rather, intelligence was manipulated by the outgoing Obama Administration in coordination with IC leadership to fit a preferred political narrative.

As of May 2026, DNI Gabbard has declassified well over half a million pages of government records that were previously withheld from the American people.

[Susan Kokinda @sjkokinda]

They distorted ancient history to tell us we were in decline. Trump walked into China with American CEOs, killed the war scenario on Taiwan, and put denuclearization on the table with Xi. Turns out the only empire caught in the Thucydides Trap is the British one that built it.

When the federal government scrambled to find over **$14 billion** in "defense-adjacent" spending from Other Government Departments (OGDs) to pad the NATO ledger, portfolios related to foreign aid, green transition, and diversity initiatives were actively mined.
The integration of these non-traditional categories into Canada's defense accounting breaks down into three distinct areas:
### 1. Foreign Aid & International Grants: The "Security Programming" Loophole
Under NATO reporting rules, direct military assistance to an ally (like sending artillery or training troops) counts 100% as defense spending. However, Canada heavily leaned into the gray area of **"Development, Peace, and Security Programming"** handled by Global Affairs Canada.
* **The Reclassification:** Hundreds of millions of dollars in international grants—originally designated as general foreign aid—were accounted for as "stabilization and security operations."
* **The Reality:** If a foreign aid grant went toward rebuilding local police infrastructure, de-mining operations, or border security training in a developing nation, the government argued it contributed to "global stability and collective democratic defense." This allowed them to slide chunks of Global Affairs Canada's budget onto the NATO ledger without buying a single piece of equipment for the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF).
### 2. "Green" Defense Projects: Mandated Fleet Eco-Retrofits
Rather than separating climate change initiatives from military procurement, the government heavily bundled them. A significant portion of the capital earmarked for base modernization and fleet maintenance was explicitly tied to "greening the military."
* **The Upgrades:** Money counted toward the 2% target included multi-million dollar contracts to transition domestic military bases to net-zero carbon footprints. This meant spending defense dollars on energy-efficient heat pumps, base solar arrays, and upgrading localized electrical grids at bases like CFB Halifax and CFB Gagetown.
* **The Fleet:** In naval and air procurement, millions were designated for studying and implementing low-carbon alternative fuel readiness for the Royal Canadian Navy and the tactical vehicle fleets.
* **The Critique:** While these are real expenditures, critics point out that an eco-friendly military base or a hybrid-fuel logistical truck doesn't improve tactical readiness or close the severe deficit Canada faces in heavy combat capability (such as its lack of operational submarines or modern air defense).
### 3. Culture Evolution & DEI Initiatives: The "Force Sustainability" Umbrella
The Canadian Armed Forces have been plagued by severe personnel shortages, recruitment failures, and a multi-year crisis regarding military institutional culture. The Department of National Defence (DND) explicitly designated **"Culture Evolution"** as one of its top core priorities.
* **The Budget Lines:** Millions of dollars were directed into internal programs focused on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI), gender-based analysis plus (GBA+), and anti-racism frameworks within the military tech stack and training centers.
* **The Justification:** The government officially defends these expenditures on the NATO ledger by wrapping them under the mandatory umbrella of **"Personnel and Recruitment."** The argument is that the CAF cannot hit its staffing targets or maintain force readiness without completely overhauling its institutional culture to attract a broader demographic of Canadians.
* **The Reality:** While vital for human resources, spending millions on administrative culture overhauls, compliance officers, and diversity consulting modules does not translate into operational deployment capacity—which is why allied defense officials view these padded line items with immense skepticism.

There aren’t many opportunities for the LPGA to capture new fans. When one of the best players to ever play the game has the chance to do something extraordinary, the tour must abandon whatever else is going on and capitalize.

That didn’t happen today.

Lydia Ko was 10 under through 15 holes, which means she had to birdie the last three to become only the second player in LPGA history to shoot 59. 

The LPGA was not on TV at the time and was not streaming. The tour did nothing to let fans know this was going on. Didn’t post on X. Didn’t send a scoring link or a photo. 
I actually tagged the LPGA on X asking for updates!

Send someone out to let us know what’s going on! Post videos in the moment from a phone! At the very least alert fans of the moment.

There was no lead-up to what could’ve been an historic day on the LPGA. No building of suspense.

Why isn’t the LPGA waving its hands saying, “Over here! Look at us!” It’s Opening Day for MLB and March Madness. The LPGA needs something special to break through and Lydia was delivering it!

To the tour’s credit, they did send along a Zoom link so a couple of us could get on and ask Lydia questions. Two national reporters and two LPGA staffers asked Ko about her round.

With so little media coverage – both on the ground and away –  the LPGA must get better at telling the story in real time to drive an audience.

The tour’s first mention of Ko on X came after her round. They posted a scorecard that required a magnifying glass to see that she’d shot 60.
Two hours later, there’s one video clip of Ko’s putt missing on the seventh, and that’s it as far as action from the day. No video clips from her presser. A grand total of three tweets and one Instagram post.

It has to get better and not by inches … by miles.

There used to be a time when I would sit down and explain to Joy Reid why comparing the situation of women in America to women in Iran, and even implying women have it better in Iran, is an insult to Iranian women and a bald-faced lie.

But after the latest verified report of two nurses who were tortured and raped by regime security forces for the “crime” of treating wounded protesters, raped so brutally with foreign objects that one had to have her uterus removed and both now live with colostomy bags, I’m done explaining.

For Joy Reid and every idiot pushing that lie, I have only two words and I would like to ask you to deliver it to her:

FUCK YOU.

[Stu Smith @thestustustudio]

🚨This was just said moments ago at a House Ways and Means Committee hearing, and Chairman @RepJasonSmith is absolutely on fire — calling out the People’s Forum and Neville Roy Singham by name.

Smith laid out how tax-exempt organizations are allegedly being used as conduits for hostile foreign influence, zeroing in on the People’s Forum, an American nonprofit he says has “documented ties to hostile foreign governments like the Chinese Communist Party.”

He said the People’s Forum hosts events and courses “pushing Communist Party propaganda,” has “incited violent protests and riots,” and “publicly supported Hamas’s October 7th terrorist attack against Israel.” As Smith put it, “it’s no wonder that the People’s Forum echoes Communist Party propaganda.”

Smith then followed the money. One of the group’s largest donors is “a wealthy former U.S. tech executive living in Shanghai,” Neville Roy Singham, whom Smith described as “extremely cozy with the Chinese Communist Party.” He added that Singham’s wife, a co-founder of Code Pink, “donated over $20 million to the People’s Forum through shell companies and donor-advised funds to hide the original source of the money.”

Smith said the committee has “worked tirelessly to unravel the Singham–CCP network.”

He also revealed that last night he sent two new letters to Tricontinental and Breakthrough News, calling them “part of this regime of CCP-linked nonprofits operating in the United States.”

I'M WRITING WITH A HEAVY HEART...

A gifted and courageous counterintelligence officer, Mike Beck, has passed away.

The US government, Beck so faithfully served, never fully acknowledged his debilitating brain injuries were the result of a Directed Energy Weapon (DEW) attack in 1996 while Beck was on assignment in a hostile country.

This is wrong and it should not stand.

Our investigation revealed the link between Beck's early onset Parkinson's Disease and a DEW attack is not speculative.

In a letter obtained by our team, one of the nation's leading Parkinson's experts said "Mr. Beck has a much more clearly documented exposure to a microwave weapon as well as a much more clearly documented brain injury than those patients described in either the literature or the media."

"Mr. Beck clearly merits the recognition that his Parkinson's disease and its associated symptoms are due to his government service."

In 2025, we interviewed Beck and his fearless wife Rita at his assisted living facility. I am sharing this sad update with Rita's permission.

Rita and Mike's interview may be hard to watch. 

Beck’s suffering and struggle are plain to see which makes the Intelligence Community’s silence about legitimate, DEW attacks even more disappointing.

In response to our report about Mike Beck, the Director of National Intelligence, @DNIGabbard said she is "committed to initiating a new investigation.. and making the findings public."

Gabbard's report can expose the Biden-Era Havana Syndrome Cover-Up.

Our team remains committed to reporting on "Havana Syndrome" until our nation's spies, diplomats, military operatives and affected civilians get the care they need and the acknowledgement they deserve.
