“[O]f all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies . . . Those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.”
–C.S. Lewis.
Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (D. R.I.) is accusing the Department of Homeland Security of being riddled with white supremacists in its staff. Senator Whitehouse is a member of several all white country clubs. Hmmmmm.
Federal judge Allison Burroughs–an Obama appointee–issued an order preventing the Trump Administration from removing Temporary Protected Status from Somalis in the United States, and deporting them. This, even though the United States Supreme Court ruled that the federal courts have no power to review TPS removal and deportation status, and that the Trump Administration could remove and deport the Somalis (among others). This is a judicial insurrection, and Representative Andy Ogles (R. Tn.) has had enough. He is introducing articles of impeachment against Judge Burroughs. Let’s hope that she is soon removed from the bench.
Anthony Fauci is really, really, really angry that Senator Rand Paul (R. Ky.) released his diary. But did you know that the Trump Administration found Dr. Fauci’s diary on federal government computers? Because that is where he wrote and stored it. Which means that Anthony Fauci is really, really, really dumb.
“Things won’t get better on their own and the current headwinds are strong. LGBTQ+ economists and economists committed to doing research empowering LGBTQ+ individuals are under attack. For many decades, barriers to working on LGBTQ+ economics were implicit. It has been difficult to emulate the natural sciences with scarce data on queer individuals, and grant administrators have been reluctant to fund our research.
Just as these implicit barriers were lowering, the Trump administration and its allies in power are trying to silence queer research. They are defunding our few grants and erasing us from federal data. These efforts are gathering steam. New explicit barriers are emerging every day. For example, Texas Tech recently announced a ban on researching LGBTQ+ topics throughout its ranks. The time to respond is now.”

I studied economics in high school and college. Throughout my adult life, I have continued to study economics. And until today, I had no idea that there was a need for more LGBTQ++ economists. Silly me.
In Twin Falls, Idaho, a piece of human garbage went to the local In-N-Out restaurant, where he opened fire on the patrons enjoying their burgers. He murdered 2, and wounded 7. The casualty count would have been higher but for a patron who retreated to his automobile, retrieved his firearm, and began returning the gunman’s fire, driving him away from the restaurant. The gunman is dead. Thank goodness for the patriot who stepped in to risk his life in order to save others’.
California is suing charitable non-profit organizations in The Golden State, which dedicate their work to assist pregnant women in the prenatal care and birth of their children. Huh. California bureaucrats must really enjoy murdering unborn children.
New York State passed a law requiring all fuel suppliers in the United States, wheresoever situated, to register with the State, and to report certain data regarding “greenhouse emissions” related to their products. This requirement does not merely govern fuel suppliers who do business in New York. Rather, any fuel supplier whose product ever makes it to The Empire State, through resale, transportation by a 3rd party, however, is required to register and comply with the law. That is ridiculous. It is insane. And it is unconstitutional. People in Missouri, Texas, and South Dakota cannot be governed by the New York State government.
“We can finish the work of President Obama and pass a public option so that every single American has access to the healthcare they deserve. Because healthcare is a human right. It is not a privilege. I just— since we are in church, and because I said BS earlier— if you read our scriptures, if you read the New Testament, what does Jesus spend most of his time doing? . . It’s not preaching, it’s not teaching, it is healing. Healing the sick.”
–U.S. Senate candidate, James Talarico (D. Tx.).
Jesus was a supporter of socialized medicine? I do not think so.
See, Leftists always trot out this line to trick people into believing that Jesus wanted people to support government programs providing “free” healthcare, welfare, and other services that it was never meant to provide. Yet, they never actually point to a verse where Jesus says this.
That’s because He never said it.
Jesus tells US–you and me–to feed the hungry, clothe the naked, and heal the sick. He never once said, “Therefore, I say unto thee that your government should take as much money out of your paycheck as possible to give to others.”
What Mr. Talarico and his comrades miss is the fact that believers were never supposed to abdicate their responsibility to care for others to that small group of people in Washington, D.C. who wield the power of government to decide for us how our money is to be spent.
KCAL 96.7 radio, a legendary classic rock station in Southern California, abruptly fired its entire on air staff. The radio station is switching to an automated music only format. Sigh.
Thousands lined Amsterdam’s [Netherlands] canals for the annual “Pride” boat parade. Why wasn’t this held in June?
Spanish police in riot gear beat Spanish citizens with batons, as they protested government policies which permitted the Moroccan invasion at Ceuta. Welcoming in illegal aliens while brutalizing Spanish citizens opposed to the policy permitting the illegal aliens’ invasion. Hmmm. It seems that China Joe’s influence spread far beyond the United States.
In the midst of its border crisis with Morocco, Spain is incensed that Italy has closed its border with Spain. Spain’s prime minister is seeking emergency European Union action against Italy. Huh. So Spain lets in a horde of illegal aliens, and Italy is supposed to stand by idle, potentially letting those aliens into it? We don’t think so.
Canada’s Leftist government has banished God from all military services and ceremonies, including funerals and church services. Huh? Instead, military chaplains may offer government approved spiritual comments. My goodness!
Congratulations to Brandon Grogan on winning the 65th Chatmoss Invitational. And congratulations to Buck Brittain on winning the Senior Division. Well played, gentlemen.
Former Representative Kay Granger (R. Tx.) has died at age 83. R. I. P.
