Former Interior Secretary Deb Haaland last week won New Mexico’s gubernatorial primary, with a 2-to-1 lead over her opponent. She’ll be up against Republican nominee Gregg Hull in November’s general election. A lot could happen between now and then. But considering the state's political history, there's a good chance Haaland could get elected governor. On the American energy scene, New Mexico is the second-largest producer behind Texas, pumping out 2 million barrels of oil per day. Two counties in south-east New Mexico account for 78% of all onshore federal oil production, according to the American Petroleum Institute. The Land of Enchantment is a key player in the American energy landscape.

President Donald Trump has unveiled a deal to end 47 years of hostilities with Iran, bringing months of U.S.military operations to an end and opening the Strait of Hormuz in a one-two punch certain to ease oil prices ahead of the midterm elections. "Let the oil flow!” Trump declared Sunday on social media after completing the deal on his 80th birthday and the day the U.S. began its 250th anniversary celebration with an historic UFC Freedom 250 mixed martial arts fight on the White House South Lawn. A signed ceremony was set for Friday in Switzerland.

Senior officials in President Joe Biden’s Department of Education defied a federal court order in launching investigations of gender identity and sexual orientation discrimination in schools, according to a federal watchdog finding. The Office of Special Counsel released a report this week that confirmed the disclosure of Education Department whistleblower Timothy Mattson, who said the department’s Office of Civil Rights unlawfully processed complaints about gender identity discrimination after a federal judge halted an executive order from going into effect that was the basis for the investigations. According to Mattson’s disclosure, the Office for Civil Rights investigated a school that restricted athletic competition to biological sex.

The US and Iran have reached a peace deal to end their three-and-a-half-month-old war, President Trump announced Sunday evening. The Strait of Hormuz, which carries 20% of the world’s oil, is set to reopen on Friday when a deal is signed in Switzerland, officials said. “The Deal with the Islamic Republic of Iran is now complete,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “Congratulations to all! I hereby fully authorize the toll free opening of the Strait of Hormuz, and, simultaneously herewith, authorize the immediate removal of the United States Naval blockade. Ships of the World, start your engines. Let the oil flow!”

Last week exposed the utter hypocrisy of Democrats who scream about “free and fair elections” and demand that we get dark money out of politics. Specifically, the House Administration Committee shined a spotlight on the Dems’ major fund-raising platform, ActBlue, and its apparent efforts to end-run the federal laws that Dems insist are all about “clean campaigns.” The Justice Department is investigating ActBlue’s role in the use of straw donors to launder illegal giving; a larger federal probe is looking into the platform’s alleged efforts to help funnel illegal foreign donations to Democratic candidates.

It was both a spiritual and strategic move when President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed a bill adding the words “under God” to the Pledge of Allegiance. “From this day forward, the millions of our schoolchildren will daily proclaim in every city and town, every village and rural schoolhouse, the dedication of our nation and our people to the Almighty,” the president said upon signing the bill on Flag Day, June 14, 1954. “To anyone who truly loves America, nothing could be more inspiring than to contemplate this rededication of our youth, on each school morning, to our country’s true meaning,” he continued.

The State Department has dropped sanctions against one of the loudest opponents of George Soros in Eastern Europe. Sali Berisha, leader of the Albanian opposition party, confirmed to the Daily Signal Friday that the State Department lifted sanctions against him on Thursday. The State Department had sanctioned Berisha, a former president and prime minister who steered the Balkan country after the fall of communism in the 1990s, for “corrupt acts,” such as misappropriation of public funds to enrich relatives. Berisha denied the claims.

Knicks mania turned into complete insanity in Times Square when fans smashed and tore apart several school buses in the packed party hub — including one that was left completely engulfed in fire. One bus was completely torched after the maniacs lit pieces of clothing on fire and tossed it inside — even as their fellow havoc-makers danced on the roof. Wild footage shows the maniacs ripping the buses to shreds as they stood parked near the 42nd Street subway station. Fans tore the hood off several of the trucks — and the brazen fans boldly stood on top of the exposed engines. Others were smashing glass beer bottles into the street.

A diocese of the Episcopal Church has installed a woman who is believed to be its first openly lesbian bishop in the southern United States. Rev. Sarah Fisher is in a same-sex union with Rev. Mandy Brady, The Christian Post reported May 28. A spokesperson for the denomination told the outlet it was believed “Bishop Fisher is the first openly lesbian Episcopal Church bishop for a diocese based in the South.” The Episcopal News Service reported May 26 that the Diocese of East Carolina ordained Fisher at the Riverfront Convention Center in New Bern, North Carolina:

A nonprofit dedicated to instituting guaranteed income programs across the country is reportedly aiming for a permanent policy in California funded by taxpayer dollars — in a state already $1.3 trillion in debt. That, according to a report published Saturday by Fox News which examines the Economic Security Project (ESP), a nonprofit founded in 2016 and consisting of “100 entrepreneurs, activists, researchers, and philanthropists” dedicated to promoting direct cash payments to individuals. ESP has created over 100 guaranteed income pilots across the United States, the outlet reported. Now, a state affiliate of ESP, Economic Security California (ESC) aims to establish a permanent guaranteed income program, Fox reported.

At least for the moment, it's called The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts again. On Saturday, officials confirmed in new court filings that President Donald Trump's name has been removed from the Washington, D.C., arts venue named for Pres. Kennedy after his assassination in 1963. In one filing with the judge who ordered Trump's name be taken down, the Center's chief operating officer and executive director, Matt Floca, certified that "all physical signage" has been removed: As we previously wrote, the order made on May 29 by U.S. District Court Judge Christoper R. Cooper stated —
