REMINDER:

There needs to be a deep investigation into how this weirdo was able to afford this. Well over $100k of guns listed. Seems unlikely for a mentally ill trans activist to come up with that on their own. https://t.co/GQBZqadMgv

RIOTS FOR THEE, BUT NOT FOR ME:

Inviting mass migration from the Third World is NOT merciful, in any sense.

Real charity begins at home — here I am filming on the Pope’s street where he grew up in Dolton IL — boarded up homes, broken glass, crime, misery. Does he care??? https://t.co/2IHH1C5hQz pic.twitter.com/cgY3uMArmq

RIGHT UP UNTIL IT SINKS: Cuba’s Surveillance State Keeps Communist Party Afloat.

What has kept the government of Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel, the paper said, is the party’s iron control over daily life, not its ability to deliver electricity, food, or wages.

That description tracks with the state’s recent behavior on the ground.

At June’s nighttime pot-banging protests in Morón and other cities, civilian informants filmed demonstrators so police could identify and arrest them the next day, the Foundation for Human Rights in Cuba documented. The Ministry of the Interior’s black-beret riot brigade deployed in Santiago as officers cut internet access to isolate protest zones.

The economic picture behind the crackdown is stark.

The U.N. Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean projects Cuba’s GDP will contract 6.5% in 2026, the worst in the region, and the electricity generation deficit hit a record 2,208 MW on June 25, leaving roughly 70% of the island without power. The Cuban Conflict Observatory logged 1,311 protests in May, the highest monthly total on record.

It certainly looks like something’s gotta give.

MAYBE THUNE WON’T NOTICE: Johnson says House will pass SAVE America Act ‘one more time’ in reconciliation bill. “He said that although a prohibition on mail-in voting with exceptions and other requests made by Trump could be included, the “bigger reach” is to hone the bill to focus on providing proof of citizenship when registering to vote and the presentation of photo ID before casting a ballot — the core components of the bill.”

IT’S THEIR WAY: The World Lights Up for America’s 250th, While the American Left Opts to Whine About It.

ALEX BERENSON: On poker, competition, freedom, and America.

ON SUNDAYS I RUN A PROMO POST FOR (MOSTLY) INDIE AUTHORS:  Book Promo And Vignettes By Luke, Mary Catelli and ‘Nother Mike.

There is also a vignette challenge which people have a ton of fun with.

IT’S TIME TO RID OUR CIVIC BODY OF THE POISON OF COLLECTIVISM AND GROUP IDENTITY:  Treat People as Individuals.

Honestly? It’s well past time.

AMEN:  On Our 250th Anniversary: The History Jefferson Warned Us Not to Forget. A Fourth of July reflection on what every American should study.

I SAY YEAH, RON THE SANTIS:  “It is often asserted that the world has made a great deal of progress since 1776, that we have had new thoughts and new experiences which have given us a great advance over the people of that day, and that we may therefore very well discard their conclusions for something more modern. But that reasoning can not be applied to this great charter.

(I’d give you the x-cancel link, but this post broke it.)

AS HE SHOULD:  Trump pardons 9 people convicted of tampering with emission controls on diesel engines. Alaska veteran Mac Spurlock was among those freed after armed EPA agents raided his shop over engine modifications.

CATCHY AS HECK:  Greatest new song to come out of the World Cup!

WHAT HE SAID:  My Culture ‘Tis of Thee- America at 250!  The question of “What is an American?” is currently grinding our cultural gears. Well there is and has been an answer to that question for 250 years- it’s our distinct and indelible culture.

THEY PROMISE EQUALITY AND FRATERNITY BUT DEATH IS THE ONLY GIFT IN THEIR GIVING:  The (Commie) King’s Speech. The new Ugandan communist “it” boy addresses the nation.

THIS FOR THEIR OPINION OF US:  “Yankee Doodle”.

IT CERTAINLY DOES:  An old post of Ian’s. That bears repeating.

FOR ALL THESE REASONS AND MORE: I Love America Because…  A Happy and blessed Fourth of July to all Americans, who are celebrating our nation’s 250th anniversary. Our country has stood the test of time and is still worth cheering for! Here’s why.
