“When you wake up in the morning, Pooh,” said Piglet at last, “what’s the first thing you say to yourself?”
“What’s for breakfast?” said Pooh. “What do you say, Piglet?”
“I say, I wonder what’s going to happen exciting to-day?” said Piglet.
Pooh nodded thoughtfully. “It’s the same thing,” he said.”
–A.A. Milne, Winnie The Pooh.
The President will nominate acting Attorney General Todd Blanche to be Attorney General. Seems like a good choice.
The President announced that he would tap Federal Housing Agency head William Pulte to serve as acting Director of National Intelligence. He will take over following current DNI Tulsi Gabbard’s departure, and serve until her successor is named and confirmed by the Senate.
Senator John Cornyn (R. Tx.) was beaten like a red headed stepchild in the primary for renomination. Now that his dreams of future power have been crushed, this so-called “loyal Republican” is boosting the Libertarian candidate’s campaign, and undermining the Republican, Ken Paxton. Sour grapes from a RINO.
Senator Bernie Sanders (I. Vt.) wants to impose a special tax on Artificial Intelligence companies, that would give the federal government 50% equitable ownership. Senator Sanders then wants to use the money from that ownership to redistribute it to “the people”. Senator Sanders is a communist.
“Forcing a worker to choose between paying her rent or losing a day’s pay to recover from a grueling gynecological procedure is not a choice. It’s economic violence.”
–Representative Adelita Grijalva (D. Az.).
Representative Grijalva wants a federal law giving paid leave to women who need to rest during their menstruation cycles. In other words, women get a paid vacation every month for a week.
“There’s over 20 states right now where women can’t access the right to abortion. We have to create underground railroads [for abortion].”
–Representative Lateefah Simon (D. Ca.), channeling her inner Harriet Tubman, and calling for the murder of more innocent unborn children.
The United States Supreme Court overturned a lower court decision blocking Alabama’s use of a non-racially gerrymandered electoral map. WINNING!
The United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia ruled 2-1 to enjoin the War Department’s refusal to permit “trans” folks to serve in the military. Because nothing signifies warriors more than men in skirts.
Hillary Clinton–who will not, and seems incapable of, stay quiet–criticized President Trump over his White House renovations. Hmmm. What was that that her husband did in the Oval Office with a corpulent intern? How about when outgoing Clinton White House employees sabotaged and vandalized offices in the West Wing? Or when Bill and Hillary stole White House furniture and furnishings, and were required to return them? The VERY LAST PERSON who should criticize anyone concerning care of The White House, is Hillary Clinton.
Democrats are criticizing President Trump for cleaning up statues in the nation’s capital, cleaning up the Reflecting Pool, restoring The Kennedy Center, and building a privately funded White House ballroom, as “Trump’s Vanity Projects”. Really? Wanting our nation’s capital city to be clean, safe, and functional is vanity? Is that why the oh so humble Democrats let the town get run down when they are in power?
“So he’s [Graham Platner] a liar, a racist, an antisemite. He’s a homophobe.”
–ABC’s The View host Sunny Hostin, who immediately announced that she supported the U.S. Senate candidacy of Graham Platner (D. Me.).
You cannot make this stuff up. But it is terribly revealing.
CBS News fired failed “journalist” Scott Pelley for insubordination. It should have happened years ago.
“Our cancelling the 4th of July celebration this year reflects . . . an on-going process within the congregation to better understand our own whiteness.”
–Statement by Nantucket [Massachusetts] Unitarian Universalists and Reverend Erin Splaine of the Second Congregational Meeting House.
For the past 25 years, this “church” has held a public reading of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution’s Bill of Rights in the downtown, on Independence Day. But not this year, our nation’s 250th birthday.
“For those of us who are white the experience of the Rights and Privileges conferred by the Declaration of Independence, The Bill of Rights, and the Constitution of the United States have, for centuries, been tragically, often violently, and unequally applied to fellow citizens who are not white.”
–excerpt from Reverend Splaine’s letter announcing the cancellation. Reverend Splaine further stated that she would not engage with others to explain her decision. Typical.
This is sad. But not surprising. Unitarians are not Christians. They are a bunch of Leftists who congregate together to celebrate sins. Like all Leftists, they hate America, and its founding. Why they bothered to celebrate it in the previous 25 years is a mystery.
But all is not lost on Nantucket for Independence Day. In the wake of Reverend Splaine’s refusal to celebrate America, St. Paul’s Episcopal Church will hold a reading in the downtown of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution’s Bill of Rights.
Since 2023, New York State has been studying the question of reparations for black Americans, to compensate them for the fact that they were never held in slavery, but someone, somewhere, at some time, whom they may be related to, was a slave. Well, the usual suspects are tired of the delay, and are now demanding that each black New Yorker be financially compensated in cash, to the tune of $800,000.00. But they want more; so much more. They want their own “black bank”, more education, housing, and “other” assistance. Sigh. Because some suffered hundreds of years ago, those who have not suffered must be compensated.
The New York State legislature is pushing legislation to impose gender neutral language. Going forward, the word “mother” will be replaced with “gestating parent”. The word “father” will be replaced with “non-gestating parent”. This is just plain stupid.
The New Jersey rioting at the ICE Detention facility in Newark seems to be finally under control. Governor Sherrill (D.) finally and reluctantly allowed the State Police to assist ICE officials, and that seems to have made a difference.
Where did the New Jersey rioters come from? Are there that many New Jersey residents who are outraged at ICE enforcing the law? As it turns out . . . no. The rioters in New Jersey were imported from . . . Portland, Oregon. Some of the most ardent, anti-ICE activists reside in Oregon, and are members of the radical domestic terrorist group, ANTIFA. All of this, and other, anti-ICE activities are well-funded, carefully orchestrated operations coordinated by China (the country), and other enemies of the United States.
In South Carolina, Representative Nancy Mace (R.) is running for Governor, and was hoping to garner President Trump’s endorsement ahead of the June Republican primary. Instead, President Trump endorsed Lt. Governor Pamela Evette (R.). Representative Mace is denying that the endorsement happened, and called the Lt. Governor a “liar”. But the President did endorse Ms. Evette. And Nancy Mace looks to be finally retired from public life. Hopefully for good.
The United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit upheld a Texas State law criminalizing the unlawful entry into the United States via Texas. Now Texas Rangers can round up illegal aliens and turn them over to ICE. WINNING!
Add Patrick, Appomattox, Goochland, Warren, and Clarke Counties to the growing list of Virginia jurisdictions that will not enforce the looming gun laws passed by Governor Spanberger (D. Va.) and her tyrannical General Assembly Democrats. Let freedom ring!
A Lynchburg, Virginia Circuit Court judge enjoined the Virginia State Police from performing or requiring background checks for private firearm sales. WINNING!
Florida voters will get to vote on a State constitutional amendment that would eliminate property taxes. WOW! That would really frost Democrats’ flakes!
Oregon Democrats want to ban hunting, fishing, ranching, livestock slaughter, and rodeos with animals. There is no freedom in Oregon.
If there is no ranching or livestock slaughter, then how do you get to eat . . . meat? Sigh.
And what kind of rodeo does not have animals? Seriously.
Well, it is June, and that can mean only one thing; The Episcopal Church USA is going to celebrate “Pride Month”. Which means that The Episcopal Church will celebrate sins. Sigh.
“To bolster democracy in the United States, we in The Episcopal Church call for an expansion of voter registration, protection of voter eligibility and making the voting processes more accessible.”
–statement by The Episcopal Church USA, through its Office of Governmental Relations.
Should not The Episcopal Church USA be concentrating on saving souls and spreading God’s Word, rather than worrying about politics? And why does a church need an “Office of Governmental Relations”? Does not the Left insist that there be a “separation of Church and State”? Hmmm.
“My God, that gravy is horrible.”
–Colonel Harland Sanders, founder of Kentucky Fried Chicken, discussing the chain’s signature gravy.
In the last few weeks, the United States Navy has guided more than 70 ships through the Straits of Hormuz. WINNING!
More than 40% of Democrats support Hamas over Israel. LOSING!
The University of Virginia/N.C. State football game to be played in Brazil has been scrapped. The game will now be played in Charlottesville. Good. It never made any sense to play an ACC football game in Brazil.
Hall of Fame basketball coach Rick Adelman has died at age 79. R. I. P.
Joe Negri, famous for his role as Handyman Negri on public television’s Mr. Rogers’s Neighborhood, has died at age 99. Sigh. He almost got to 100. R. I. P.
Singer Peabo Bryson has died at age 75. R. I. P.
Former Baltimore Colts wide receiver Raymond Berry has died at age 93. R. I. P.
