China Holds Live Fire Combat Drills Near Taiwan As Response To Biden Defense Pledge
China on Wednesday revealed that it held fresh military drills near Taiwan while Joe Biden was wrapping up his first trip to Asia as president. A statement cited "joint patrol and combat readiness operations near Taiwan" while the US leader was in Tokyo where he was meeting with leaders of the other "Quad" nations of Japan, India, and Australia. The military further warned of "collusion" between the US and Taiwan:
Shi Yi, from the PLA’s Eastern Theatre Command, said on Wednesday that the joint naval and air combat-readiness exercise by the People’s Liberation Army was a “solemn warning against recent collusion between the United States and Taiwan”.
The Wednesday statement was issued by the People‘s Liberation Army (PLA) Eastern Theater Command, confirming it held live fire combat readiness exercises both in the waters and airspace around Taiwan. "It is hypocritical and futile for the United States to say one thing and do another on the Taiwan issue," the spokesman, Shi added.
During his Tokyo visit Biden surprised the media and officials by committing to defend Taiwan militarily when asked by a reporter what the US would do in the event of a Chinese invasion. The White House subsequently tried to walk back the comments, stressing that the One China status quo policy has not changed. Beijing condemned the statement, issuing its oft repeated line that the US is "playing with fire". The Biden pledge to defend Taiwan came Monday, with the PLA drills coming apparently the day after.
According to more from the statement:
Senior Colonel Shi Yi, spokesman for the PLA Eastern Theater Command, said the patrol was launched as a warning against recent US support for “Taiwan independence” forces.
“Taiwan is a part of China, and the PLA Eastern Theater Command is determined to safeguard national sovereignty and regional peace and stability,” the spokesman said on Wednesday.
State-backed media outlet The People’s Daily reported China has recently organized “different branches of the forces for joint patrols and live-fire training exercises” in Taiwanese territory.
Further the Chinese Defense Ministry's website denounced the US for "hypocritical and useless" actions that continue to wrongly encourage Taiwan's pro-independence forces.
The PLA has "the resolution and capability to thwart any external forces' interference and secessionist attempts for 'Taiwan independence', and to firmly safeguard national sovereignty and security as well as regional peace and stability," the military statement said further.

Drag Queens Perform at Iowa High School, District Claims Ignorance
At least one of the performers gave students pointers on gender identity
A student organization in Ankeny, Iowa hosted a drag show on Monday where at least one performer gave students tips on “gender identity.” The high school’s Gay Straight Alliance (GSA) club hosted the performers after school for their end-of-year meeting without authorization from administrators, according to a tweet from the district.
In another video, one of the performers told students that drag performances helped them with the “very beginning stages” of a gender identity “journey.”
“When I felt like I couldn’t express myself in school, or I felt like I had to look like this at school… I could be whoever I wanted to be,” the performer said. “And I started to think, ‘What is gender?’ And I realized that no matter what pronouns you use, you are who you are… I know on the inside that I am who I am.”
The performer went on to claim that gender identity can fluctuate over time. “I feel like sometimes I do identify as a male,” the performer said. “I feel like sometimes I’m more in the middle of the spectrum — not one or the other. That’s where I am right now.”
According to Libs of Tik Tok, a handful of students also participated in the performances.

Anonymous Source Who Vouched for Trump–Russia Claims is Same Man Who Sent Lawyer to FBI: Agent
The technology executive who helped gather data on Donald Trump and Russia in 2016 sent some of the data to the FBI as a confidential source, an FBI agent revealed in federal court on May 25.
Rodney Joffe, the executive, also had his lawyer take the data separately to FBI lawyer James Baker, according to prosecutors.
Joffe approached Thomas Grasso, an FBI special agent, in October 2016 with information he said pointed to Trump having a secret communications channel with a Russian bank, Grasso said on the stand in the E. Barrett Prettyman Courthouse in Washington.
The same claims were passed just days earlier to Baker by Michael Sussmann, who was representing both Joffe and the Hillary Clinton campaign at the time.
Sussmann acted on behalf of his clients, who hoped to influence the 2016 presidential election in Clinton’s favor, according to special counsel John Durham’s team. Grasso was testifying during the trial of Sussmann, who was charged with lying to the FBI because he told Baker he was not bringing the information on behalf of any clients.
Baker conveyed the information to others in the FBI. Cyber experts with the bureau quickly deemed the allegations false but a full probe was launched, headed by the FBI’s Chicago office with the backing of FBI Director James Comey and other bureau leaders.
Grasso, who met Joffe in the mid-2000s and considers him a friend, knew that Joffe was a confidential source but did not contact Joffe’s handler. Grasso, who is now retired, also abided by Joffe’s request to keep his identity secret.
Grasso reached out to an agent in Pittsburgh who specialized in Russian counterintelligence matters. In an email dated Oct. 2, 2016, Grasso wrote to the agent that the FBI had received some information from an “anonymous reporter” concerning the Trump–Russia allegations.
The “reporter” was actually Joffe, who has never been a journalist, Grasso admitted on the stand.
“Ever heard of circular reporting?” Andrew DeFilippis, one of the prosecutors, asked the retired agent.
“Yes. As I understand it, I would tell you something and you would report out back to me,” Grasso said.
“Ever seen a situation where individuals try to put information into different parts of the FBI to make it look like it is coming from different places at the same time?” DeFilippis said.
“No,” Grasso said.
Joffe told Grasso that the FBI was already working on an investigation into the claims, knowledge that Grasso outlined in the email he sent to his colleague, which was forwarded to Chicago agents.
Grasso eventually spoke with Allison Sands, one of the analysts investigating the data. She told him the FBI already knew of the allegations and had found they were not true.
Grasso said he had no further involvement and was not aware of the resolution of the case.
Joffe was later terminated by the bureau as a confidential source.
If Grasso had known Joffe was linked to the Clinton campaign—Joffe said he was promised a position in the government if Clinton won the election and later claimed he was joking—he would have passed that information to the Chicago agents, Grasso said.
“I would want them to know that this is tied to a political matter, I think that would be relevant,” he said.

Ex-president charged with treason
A former Moldovan leader and critic of the country’s pro-EU leadership has been detained
The anti-EU former Moldovan President Igor Dodon, detained on suspicion of “passive corruption, illegal financing of political parties [and] illicit enrichment,” is now facing four criminal charges his lawyer revealed on Wednesday. They include corruption and treason.
The day before, Dodon, who headed the country from 2016-2020, was arrested, for 72 hours, the country’s anti-corruption authority revealed. The treason charge appears to have been added later.
“Today, the Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office officially charged Dodon with four counts, including corruption and treason," his counsel Maxim Lebedinsky told the Sputnik news agency.
His opposition Party of Socialists has accused the pro-EU Action and Solidarity faction along with the current Western-backed Moldovan President, Maia Sandu, of “trying to intimidate political opponents and establish a dictatorship in the Republic of Moldova.”
TASS reported that the detention period for Dodon and an unnamed second suspect could be extended.
“Today, the Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office sent a request to arrest for a period of 30 days ex-president Igor Dodon and another detainee,” a judiciary spokeswoman is quoted as saying.
She revealed that the requests would be considered on Thursday by the Chisinau District Court.
Dodon denied all accusations, saying that it is not the first time that he has become “a target of orchestrated and politically controlled justice.” He also claimed that he has the “necessary explanations that remove any suspicion of corruption and violation of the law.”
According to a statement by the prosecutor’s office, the charges are linked to the so-called “bag case.” Video footage from 2019 from the office of the Democratic Party of Moldova showed, now-exiled, businessman Vladimir Plahotniuc, who headed the party, giving Dodon a bag, presumably with money. The president did not take the bag, telling Plahotniuc instead to give it to another person. The two men’s conversation revealed that the funds were intended to finance Dodon’s Party of Socialists (PSRM).
The video was published in 2020, but at the time prosecutors decided not to initiate a criminal case, citing insufficient evidence. Under Moldovan law, recordings made without a prosecutor's permission and without the participation of law enforcement cannot be considered evidence in court. Last week, however, interim General Prosecutor Dumitru Robu ordered the criminal probe to resume.
Prosecutors said on Tuesday that during searches of ten buildings and three cars, which had been conducted as part of an investigation, significant amounts of money and luxury items were seized.
“It should be mentioned that during the searches, one of the persons tried to destroy, by swallowing, the documents found at home, which confirmed the sale-purchase transactions of real estate worth about 700,000 euros,” the authority claimed in a statement.

Arizona Education Dept promotes sex and gender chat rooms for kids
One chatroom website allows users to quickly change pages to keep the conversations private
The Arizona Department of Education (ADE) is directing students as young as 10 to online chat rooms to discuss sex and gender without parental consent.
The ADE website directs LGBT+ students to "resources" in the form of two online chat spaces with adult volunteer and staff moderators: Q Chat Space and Gender Spectrum.
Q Chat Space is sponsored by Planned Parenthood and LGBT+ organizations PFLAG and CenterLink. Discussions This chat room is open to teenagers aged 13 to 19. The website contains banner at the bottom with the words "Click/tap here for a quick escape.." which directs users to Google, allowing them to quickly change pages to keep the conversations private.
Topics of discussion range from "Beasts of the Wild: Favorite Animal Open Discussion" to "Cryptids and Creepy Pasta" and one for "anyone who identifies as a Person Of Color."
The Gender Spectrum chatroom is open for 10-year-old children up to adults. Its partners include education materials organization Pearson and groups such as the Biden Foundation.
Both chat rooms do not verify the age of the participants beyond asking for birthdays on the sign-up forms.
The Daily Wire reported that it contacted the ADE about the chatrooms, but the department did not respond as of press time.
Democratic ADE Superintendent Kathy Hoffman seems to have fulfilled a campaign promise through the chatrooms. She advocated for LGBT+ policies and "support groups" while running for office in 2018.

Mike Rowe Says Feds "Revoked" Film Permit Because Official "Didn't Like His Personal Politics"
"Dirty Jobs" television host Mike Rowe called out the General Services Administration (GSA) for canceling his production team's ability to film a new episode because of his "personal politics."
Rowe wrote a lengthy Facebook post on Monday, addressing the boilermaker workers at a facility overseen by the GSA that his permit to shoot was "suddenly revoked."
He said his film team received a call from a woman at the GSA about permits revoked for "security concerns." When asked about the security concerns, the woman had no response. She said: That decision had come down from "the very highest levels within the GSA."
Rowe went on to say Dirty Jobs has filmed in very sensitive government-controlled areas:
"We've received permits from the Army, Navy, Air Force, Seabees, Coast Guard, NASA, and The Army Corps of Engineers. We've gotten permission to film inside the Capitol and a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier. We even got a permit to film inside the National Security Agency!"

Red Pope Francis Joins Democrats In Calling for More Gun Control
Pope Francis on Wednesday said he was "heartbroken" by the shooting at a school in Texas that killed at least 19 children and two teachers, calling for greater controls on weapons.
The crowed in St. Peter's Square for his weekly general audience applauded his appeal, made a day after worst school shooting in the United States in nearly a decade.
"I am heartbroken by the massacre at the elementary school in Texas. I pray for the children and the adults who were killed and for their families," Francis said of the shooting in Uvalde, Texas.
"It is time to say 'enough' to the indiscriminate trafficking of weapons. Let us all make a commitment so that tragedies like this cannot happen again," he said.
Speaking from the White House hours after the shooting, a visibly shaken President Joe Biden urged Americans to stand up to the politically powerful gun lobby, which he blamed for blocking enactment of tougher firearms safety laws.
Francis has often taken on the weapons industry. In 2015, he said people who manufacture weapons or invest in weapons industries are hypocrites if they call themselves Christian.
