KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEFING: A Thank You Note to DOCTOR Mama Jill Biden for Being an Idiot. “Much has been made in the fawning media about Jill Biden’s career as a teacher. The fact that this idiot woman has had access to young minds in America is truly frightening.”

CHARTING BIDEN’S INFLATION EXCUSES: It’s getting to the point with the guy in the Oval Office that even Democrats, like those at the New York Times editorial page, are encouraging him not to run again in 2024. Inflation is the driving force behind such conclusions from the party faithful.
Now along comes Issues & Insights with an evocative chart that precisely tracks inflation’s steeply upward path with each of Biden’s continually changing excuses for the worst price increases this country has seen since 1981.
To hear Biden repeat an excuse once is bad enough, but to see this chart brings home the disquieting question of whether the Chief Executive is purposely misleading the American people or merely reading whatever his staff puts on his notecards and teleprompter to mislead the American people. Either way …
YA THINK MAYBE WE SHOULD HAVE HAD THIS TALK BEFORE MANDATING EVS AND PRICING PEOPLE OUT OF GAS ENGINES? We need to talk about EV charger reliability and why it has to improve.
EVERYTHING IS GOING SWIMMINGLY: WSJ: The baby-formula shortage is getting … worse? “Joe Biden made a big deal about the airlifts and his use of the Defense Production Act, but the former was more show than substance and the latter even more so.”
Plus: “Biden and his team could have lifted the tariffs on imports of baby formula and ordered the FDA to approve the labeling of European-produced formula, a point that has nothing to do with its nutritional value or safety. They could still take these steps, which would then allow those manufacturers to regularly ship their product to the US for sale rather than have the US Air Force transport it on an emergency basis to provide a drop-in-the-bucket level of assistance to hungry infants and panicked parents. Instead, Biden’s doing as little as possible while hoping no one notices that he hasn’t solved the crisis, or even dented it.”
SHOCKING NEWS: APPARATCHIKS FAVOR APPARAT. Most liberal reporters OK with news bias.
PEOPLE WHO LEGIT DEFEND THEIR HOMES DESERVE A MEDAL, THEIR ACTIONS HAVE POSITIVE EXTERNALITIES: Florida sheriff says man will ‘absolutely not’ face charges for defending home with ‘AK-47-style’ gun.
TODD HENDERSON & J.B. HEATON: Twitter’s Lawsuit Against Elon Musk Looks Like a Loser.
Twitter could have raised the stakes for Mr. Musk by including a requirement that he pay damages to its shareholders if he walked away. In that case, the shareholders could have sued for the difference between the amount Mr. Musk agreed to pay and the price any other suitor would pay—like the homeowner finding another painter. But the merger agreement doesn’t give shareholders this remedy. . . . This case highlights an important risk to shareholders in mergers and acquisitions: The corporation that negotiates the deal may not have much of a case against a breaching counterparty because the corporation, unlike its shareholders, usually isn’t harmed when the counterparty walks away. The easy fix is to give shareholders the right to sue for their losses. But either Mr. Musk’s lawyers were too smart for that or Twitter’s weren’t smart enough.
I hope the suit stays alive long enough for Musk to force Twitter to reveal how many of its accounts are bots, and how much it manipulates content.

SPACE: Vega C lifts off on maiden flight. “Europe’s new Vega C medium-lift rocket lifted off on its maiden flight July 13, carrying an Italian physics satellite and six cubesats. . . . Vega C has more powerful rocket motors and a larger payload volume than Vega, which is retiring after first launching a decade ago. The upgraded rocket can carry about 2.3 metric tons to a reference 700-kilometer altitude polar orbit, according to the European Space Agency, compared with 1.5 metric tons for its predecessor. Vega C’s first stage is powered by a P120 engine that will also be used by Europe’s upcoming Ariane 6 launcher, which has two variants for replacing Europe’s heavy-lift Ariane 5 and the medium-lift Soyuz rocket that was sourced from Russia.”
I’M GLAD TO SEE PEOPLE STANDING UP TO THE RACISM OF DEMOCRATS AND THE MEDIA. Why I — and other black Americans — signed that letter denouncing attacks on Justice Thomas. “I signed the letter to defend a human being who had his complexion weaponized against him for behaving in a manner that political agitators believe is unbecoming for a black man.”
DUPUY INSTITUTE: The Russo-Ukrainian War of 2022 – Day 140 (ground actions).
Lysychansk fell July 3 to Russia. The Russians have advanced some to the west since then and continue slowing advancing, but people are now talking about an “operational pause.” I am really not sure what that means. You either have the aggregated combat power to move forward against your opponent or you don’t. If you don’t, then you halt and rest. Of course, your opponent also gets to rest. Which army is in more need of rest, which army is receiving more new and modern equipment, which army is receiving more new trained troops?
Russia may be able to shift combat forces from other areas, but so can Ukraine. Russia is clearly not pausing because they have outrun their supply lines like the Soviet Army did in Ukraine in February 1943. They haven’t advanced fast enough to outrun much of anything.
Ukraine is making Russia pay for every inch, but until they start taking back ground that Russia chooses to keep holding, they risk the West losing interest. A negotiated settlement would probably be best for all involved, but Biden lacks the clout and the smarts to broker one.
It’s a stupid war that Putin started (and Biden’s sanctions are either failing or backfiring) but, so far, God remains on the side of the heavy artillery.

CULTURE AND HEAT: Heatwave.
I’M SURE BIDEN WILL TELL US THEY AIN’T BLACK: Black community leaders condemn ‘racist’ attacks on Justice Clarence Thomas.
WHEN YOU ASK FOR THAT EXTRA SHOT, BE SURE YOU’RE CLEAR IT’S ESPRESSO: Starbucks providing baristas with active shooter training as crime surges.
CHASER: Starbucks to close 16 US stores because of crime, rampant drug use.
None of these are Texas locations, nor Louisiana, Oklahoma, Tennessee … Funny that.
SURE, DO EVERYTHING TO STOP IT, BUT I THINK IF THEY CHEAT THIS TIME, IT WON’T GO WELL WITH THEM: How the localized nature of Democrat vote tampering will influence the 2022 election.
IT MIGHT ALSO HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH STOPPING OIL DRILLING AND SPIKING FUEL PRICES: The Hill asks the dumbest question possible.
