KEMI BADENOCH: “DEFENSE OF THE REALM IS THE FIRST DUTY OF GOVERNMENT.”
As usual, a thumping and strong #PMQs from Kemi Badenoch.
Kemi is the prime minister we need. She’s strong, determined, and knows what the country needs to succeed.
She’s taking the Conservatives in the right direction. pic.twitter.com/CyLSg1tLcD

JUST STEP BACK AND LET BIBI DO HIS THING: Netanyahu touts Israel’s strength, commits to ‘take care of what is left of the Iranian axis.’
FOLLOW THE SCIENCE — WHEN IT’S NOT BOGUS, WHICH IS SELDOM, APPARENTLY:
The editors of the world's most prestigious medical journals are sounding the alarm, and nobody is listening.
"We have peer reviewed, high impact editors in most of the journals that are the most high impact, saying that they don't believe what is being published in those… pic.twitter.com/YxwpgSKKH4

Flashback: We’re told to ‘follow the science’ — yet some of it is just plain wrong.
EVOLUTION WITHIN EVOLUTION ABOUT EVOLUTION: Things are getting really interesting in the long-running Intelligent Design/Neo Darwinian Materialism debate on the origins and development of life.
There are recent discussions among some advocates of the latter perspective on whether it’s time to concede the conventional evolutionary wisdom is in need of a tune-up. It’s on HillFaith where you can check out conservative media voice Michael Knowles interviewing Dr. Stephen Meyer of the Discovery Institute and “Return of the God Hypothesis.”

KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEFING: I’m Rather Enjoying the Democrats’ ’50 Shades of Commie’ Fight. “The reason that establishment Dems don’t call out the freaky fringe is that they don’t disagree with them. Any of them, no matter how whacked-out they are. The wilder commie youth have been the Democrats’ useful idiots in the streets since the 1960s. What’s happening now is that the useful idiots want an elected seat at the table. And they are not fans of the elected officials who have been using them.”
UNEXPECTEDLIES STILL PLENTIFUL: Minimum wages rise in Chicago, Cook County.
Minimum wages have gone up for workers in Chicago and Cook County, but efforts to raise state and federal minimums remain on hold.
As of July 1, Chicago’s minimum wage is $17.05 per hour for employers with four workers or more, up from $16.60 the day before.
The $12.96 minimum for tipped workers remains in effect after the city council moved in May to pause a scheduled increase.
Cook County’s minimum wage increased from $15 to $15.40 on Wednesday, and the tipped minimum rose from $9 to $9.25.
National Federation of Independent Business Illinois State Director Noah Finley said minimum wage hikes impact small businesses’ ability to grow.
“Small businesses often have smaller margins, and raising the cost of labor puts additional pressure on them,” Finley said.
For the well-connected (and well-heeled) who push these measures, that’s the whole point.
LEADERSHIP MATTERS:
The U.S. Navy just hit its recruiting goal of 45,000 Sailors – 3 months ahead of schedule. Even more impressive: they raised their goal by 10% and still exceeded expectations.

Besides, Conan tells me that Haiti is a much nicer place than Massachusetts:
IT’S MY THURSDAY ESSAY FOR VIP SUBSCRIBERS: So Who’s Winning the Air War? “Back in January, I wrote a Thursday Essay headlined, “So How’s That Russo-Ukraine Oil War Going?” I won’t drag you through the whole thing, but my conclusion back then could be fairly summed up as, ‘Not very well because Kyiv remains too obsessed with Crimea to wage an effective, systematic campaign on Russia’s energy infrastructure.’ Well, times change.”
THE “WARMTH OF COLLECTIVISM” WILL ALSO BE “WARM TO POLITICAL VIOLENCE:”
Woke 2.0 is coming. It's starting already.
Rather than foregrounding identity politics, it will push:
1) Affordability (Marxist materialism);
2) Anti-corruption (ironic but an excuse to go after Trump);
3) Anti-Israel (pro-Palestine).It will be warm to political violence.

CONSTITUENT SERVICE: Mamdani’s rent freeze affects 1 million apts—nearly 50% are occupied by foreigners. “According to the 2023 New York City Housing and Vacancy Survey, the latest data available, 44 percent of all homes that are rent-stabilized in the city were occupied by people born outside of the US, which would translate to approximately 440,000 residences.”
EVEN THE NY TIMES ISN’T BUYING ANTI-AC HYSTERIA: It’s Actually Okay to Run the AC All Day (Even If You’re Not Home). “To our surprise, all three apartments ended up using more energy when the AC was turned off than when we left it running all day. The first-floor unit, with the 18,000-BTU heat pump, used 7 kWh of energy on the day we turned off the AC, and it used only 4 kWh when we left it running.”

RED DAWN:
The focus on Israel in the story that these far-left candidates are winning Democratic primaries obscures the glaring warning sign that actual Communists are going to be in Congress. This isn't about Israel, this is about revolution.

ROBERT SPENCER: Kamala Harris Reaches Out to Mamdani and AOC, and Yes, That’s What It Means. “Well, it looks as if Kamala Harris is indeed planning to run for president in 2028, and that she is counting on the Democrat Party’s rapidly growing Marxist wing to propel her into the White House.”
