HAVE YOU READ THE DECLARATION BEFORE THE DECLARATION? More than a year before our Declaration of Independence was proclaimed on July 4, 1776, there was another independence proclamation known as the Mecklenburg Declaration. It is more than well-worth reading today and you can do so in my latest PJMedia column.

FLORIDA MAN FRIDAY [VIP]: She Plays a Bloody Good Game of Pickleball. “It’s time for your much-needed break from the serious news, and this week, we’ll learn how to get a DUI with two vehicles in one day, all about full-contact pickleball, and what to do when a bear tries to steal your truck in Colorado.”

INVASION OF THE AI BODY SNATCHERS: The Clone Wars: How AI is Secretly Copy-Pasting Your Favorite YouTubers.
The example spotted by music YouTuber Rick Beato is particularly pathetic. I don’t think Hal or Colossus is cranking these out in its spare time; a human has to prompt AI to make the videos, and write the script for the AI narrator to record, to produce a pathetic clone of guitarist Rhett Shull (seen in the top right of Beato’s video thumbnail, and like Beato, Shull has been making YouTube videos for about a decade now).
I assume whoever is badly cloning Shull is hoping for a little bit of ad revenue from his AI clips, or simply bored in his basement, but this is just bizarre:

MUSTN’T LET THE PROLES SEE ISRAEL IN A POSITIVE LIGHT:
Israel sent search-and-rescue teams to Venezuela. That's a documented fact.
The @nytimes reported on the international response while omitting Israel's rescue mission. Other major media outlets did the same. That's not a typo. It's not a factual dispute. It's an editorial…— Chaskel Bennett (@ChaskelBennett) July 3, 2026
I guess there wasn’t a way to spin “Israel participates in rescue operations” as a genocide.

AMERICA’S NEWSPAPER OF RECORD:

INDEED:
Qatar is an actual slave state with just a few hundred thousand citizens and a clear record of funding terrorism. The fact that we have somehow allowed them to buy their way into influencing so much of America's ME policy and dictating information flow is still crazy to me.

THE CRITICAL DRINKER: The Odyssey — Oh, Dear…
As of the time of this post, here’s the ratio of likes to dislikes on its trailer:
In the past, such a ratio foretold of bad things to come from movies such as Snow White. Will The Odyssey endure a similar fate? As the Drinker concludes, “Is it going to reach Oppenheimer levels of success? Probably not, but I do think it’ll turn a healthy profit. And what the hell—maybe [Christopher Nolan will] surprise us all and create a genuine masterpiece with The Odyssey. But I don’t know, man. I’ve got this weird little feeling that he might have gone a bridge too far with this one. Either way, we’ll find out in a couple of weeks.”
