Doctors say it's 'inconceivable' Biden's cancer went undetected by his medical team . . . Several doctors have said it's "inconceivable" former President Joe Biden's aggressive form of prostate cancer went undetected by his medical team — as first son Don Trump Jr. even questioned whether the health diagnosis was part of a "cover-up." A handful of medical experts were quick to question how the former president could be diagnosed at such a late stage — especially given prostate cancer can be detected early with routine bloodwork, which is recommended for men over the age of 50. New York Post
Biden's office claimed the cancer was diagnosed Friday after Biden noticed urinary symptoms. The late-stage cancer has spread to the bone. While not curable, it may respond to treatment.
Donald Trump Jr. questions whether diagnosis was covered up
Let's think about this. It seems probable that the Biden White House was planning to run a candidate who they knew was gravely ill with cancer and becoming increasingly demented. As Daily Signal podcaster Tony Kinnett put it, this makes Watergate look like a parking ticket.
Politics
What the Hur Recordings Tell Us About Biden's Memory Decline . . . Former President Joe Biden can be heard at times speaking with a frail voice and struggling for the right words and dates in newly obtained audio recordings of his October 2023 interviews with special counsel Robert Hur. The interviews span some five hours over the course of two days. The Biden administration released transcripts in March 2024 but declined to make the audio public. At times, the former president jokes and appears in command of details, but at other times he goes on long digressions and forgets basic details. Wall Street Journal
The Stark Math on the GOP Tax Plan: It Doesn't Cut the Deficit . . . House Republicans pushed President Trump's "big, beautiful" tax-and-spending bill past a key hurdle late Sunday night. The current proposal would increase projected budget deficits by nearly $3 trillion through 2034, locking in tax cuts and spending increases that outweigh reductions in spending on Medicaid and nutrition assistance. While Republicans, who have vowed to reduce red ink, say higher economic growth will fill the gap, budget analysts across the political spectrum have panned the Republican plan, warning that it worsens the U.S. fiscal picture.

Trump unleashes on justices after Supreme Court blocks Tren de Aragua deportations . . . President Trump lashed out at the Supreme Court after it blocked him from using antiterrorism powers under the Alien Enemies Act to make further deportations. He pleaded with the justices to "come to the rescue of America." The high court ruled Friday that Mr. Trump's team was shortchanging illegal immigrants' "due process" rights by not giving them enough time to challenge impending deportations in federal courts.
The justices paused deportations and ordered lower courts to determine how much time the illegal immigrants should be given. Washington Times
Organizers Planning a 'Nationwide' Protest for Trump's Birthday . . . Agitators are planning a not-too-surprising birthday gift for President Donald Trump on his 79th birthday — yet another anti-Trump demonstration. Organizers say they are hoping to upstage a military parade the president has planned for June 14 in Washington, DC. Refuse Fascism, the group claiming to be behind the event, has held rallies against the Trump administration in downtown Los Angeles and other cities. Breitbart
Republican Lawmakers Look to Codify Trump Policy to End Leftist Lawfare . . . When courts issue wrongful injunctions, taxpayers are often left paying for the damage done to their own government. But Reps. Derek Schmidt, R-Kan., and Harriet Hageman, R-Wyo., are introducing a bill on Monday that aims to shift that burden from taxpayers to the plaintiffs seeking these injunctions, forcing the courts to enforce pre-existing federal law.

Owner of Trump's Qatari Air Force One Linked to Bob Menendez Corruption Scandal . . . The owner of the Qatari plane that may soon serve as President Donald Trump's Air Force One, Qatari royal and former prime minister Hamad bin Jassim al Thani (HBJ), is linked to the bribery case involving former senator Bob Menendez. The former senator had received gifts from Qatari investment company, Heritage Advisors. Menendez took the gifts in exchange for facilitating a multimillion-dollar Heritage Advisors investment in a New Jersey real estate project and at one point Googled—after a 2021 trip to Qatar—"how much is one kilo of gold worth," the indictment states.

This whole thing has such a bad odor — failing so many smell tests — I think Trump in the end will be convinced to drop the idea.

Putin of Russia are expected to speak Monday about the war in Ukraine, in a highly anticipated telephone call that comes amid a flurry of diplomatic activity aimed at resolving the three-year old conflict.

Will anyone take the manufacturing jobs Trump is creating? . . . America has nearly half a million unfilled manufacturing jobs, according to the U.S. Labor Department. Nearly half of manufacturing companies say their biggest challenge is recruiting and retaining workers, according to a survey this year by the National Association of Manufacturers. Manufacturers usually assign workers to shifts with rigid hours and pay 7.8% lower on average than the private sector as a whole, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Wall Street Journal
