Sky-high campaign donations from liberal anti-police billionaire George Soros and his groups have helped to elect 75 “social justice” prosecutors in whose cities jailings have plummeted and crime has surged, according to a new report provided to Secrets. In a 17-page report compiled by the Law Enforcement Legal Defense Fund, a decade of spending has put Soros prosecutors in enough big cities that they represent 1 in 5 people, or about 72 million.

PM Says Giving Guns to NZ Businesses ‘Not the Answer,’ As Crimewave Grips the Country – Epoch Times
“A sense of lawlessness is now gripping all of New Zealand, and the soft on crime approach is not working,” he told News hub. “We are calling the prime minister to declare a crime emergency in New Zealand. It is that serious.” Kaushal said many small businesses were hiring their own security, with many going to him for advice on how to get a gun. “It’s become that serious because if the police and authorities are not able to save them, they have to save themselves,” he said…. Mitchell said the announcement had been “too little, too late” in addressing the “explosion” of youth crime in New Zealand.
“Until this Labour government cracks down on crime, youth offenders, gang members, and organised crime groups will continue to behave and act with impunity,” he said

North Carolina Could Be Next in Joining Initiative to Restore Balance Between State and Federal Government – Epoch Times
A Convention of States freedom rally will be held in Raleigh, North Carolina, on June 8 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., where there will be multiple speakers, including Convention of States Action (COSA) Co-Founder and President Mark Meckler. “This has never been done before in American history,” Meckler told The Epoch Times. “The ability to do it is contained within the second clause of Article V of the Constitution.” Article V gives states the power to call a Convention of States to propose amendments. It takes 34 states to call the convention and 38 to ratify any amendments that are proposed, Meckler said. Meckler, an attorney who specialized in technology law, has led several efforts to limit the federal government’s power.
A Culture That Celebrates Dismembering Children in the Womb Can’t Understand Why It’s Afflicted With Mass Shootings – American Faith

The left claims firearms themselves are the cause, and anything short of their preferred policy prescription of so-called “universal background checks” and an “assault weapons ban” is “irresponsible and egregious.” But those who see through the left’s exploitation of this tragedy know there’s something much bigger going on here than a nefarious piece of hardware….
A Cabinency of Dunces – Epoch Times Commentary
As the nation sinks inexplicably into self-created crisis after crisis, debate rages whether President Joe Biden is incompetent, mean-spirited, or an ideologue who feels the country’s mess is his success. A second national discussion revolves around who actually is overseeing the current national catastrophe, given Biden’s frequent bewilderment and cognitive challenges. But one area of agreement is the sheer craziness of Biden’s cabinet appointments, who have translated his incoherent ideology into catastrophic governance.

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) made the remarks when he was asked on Fox Business’s “Wall Street with Maria Bartiromo” to respond to Biden’s recent comments where he said raising gas prices is part of “an incredible transition.” “I think that’s the main takeaway from his statement, that he is telling the American people they’re doing this to you on purpose, that the transition period is being imposed by policies coming from the Biden administration,” he said.
