PJ MEDIA VIP ROUNDUP: Don’t forget that VODKAPUNDIT promo code if you’ve been thinking of joining us.
Matt Margolis: Democrats Hate Science. ” We’re not having a national discussion about transgender issues, we are being force-fed transgender ideology, and anyone who isn’t willing to deny science is being treated as a bigot.”
Megan Fox: Here’s the Evidence I’d Need to See Before I’d Believe Amber Heard Is Not a Lying Psycho. “Even one corroborating medical record — just one would do.”
Margolis Part II: Trump Builds Walls but Burns Bridges. “Once again, we’ve seen how Trump’s ability to turn allies into enemies is putting him on defense.”
Yours Truly: Russia Victory Day Celebration: Doomsday Averted, Putin Tired, Timid, and Out of Ideas. “It was the kind of by-the-numbers address you’d expect to hear at the peacetime dedication of the new People’s Red Army Memorial Mess Hall at an army base somewhere in Siberia.”
OUTLINING POSITIVE ID CASE: It’s Day Two on HillFaith of Casey Luskin’s series on what is Intelligent Design and why it’s a legitimate tool for scientific analysis.
THIS IS CNN? REALLY? CNN Fact Checker Calls Out Biden for Claiming Credit on Deficit Reduction. “The $2.8 trillion deficit in fiscal 2021, when Biden was in office for more than eight months, was $360 billion lower than the $3.1 trillion deficit of fiscal 2020, Trump’s last full year in office. Dale called that ‘certainly substantial,’ but added that the CBO, ‘had estimated at the beginning of Biden’s tenure that the fiscal 2021 deficit would be a decline of more than $870 billion if the Biden administration did not implement new policy.’”
Left unsaid: Biden tried, and has so far failed, to add trillions more in deficit spending.
KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEFING: Dem Abortion Meltdown Isn’t Slowing GOP Midterms Momentum. “Americans in the heartland are no doubt more concerned with the fact that we’ll all be eating cheap ramen if Biden’s economy keeps spinning out of control. People still vote with their checkbooks (Google it, younger readers) more than their genitals, much to the chagrin of the Democratic elite.”
OLD KLEPTOCRAT YELLS AT CLOUD: Russian Space Agency Head Threatens Elon Musk Over Starlink In Ukraine.
Dmitry Rogozin, the head of Roscosmos, posted a message to his Telegram channel, condemning Musk for expanding Starlink’s service to Ukraine, which is facing an ongoing invasion from Russia.
In the message, Rogozin accused Musk of supplying the Starlink dishes to the Ukrainian military, which he described as “Nazis.”
“Elon Musk is thus involved in the supply of fascist forces in Ukraine with military communications,” Rogozin added. “And for this you will have to answer in an adult way, Elon, no matter how you play the fool.”
On Sunday, Musk noticed the menacing message, which prompted him to tweet back: “The word ‘Nazi’ doesn’t mean what he seems to think it does.”
In a separate tweet, Musk also wrote: “If I die under mysterious circumstances, it’s been nice knowin ya,” a likely reference to how Russian President Vladimir Putin has been accused of poisoning his political enemies.
Time to beef up security and hire a taster.

BACK WHEN WORLD’S FAIRS WERE HONKIN’ BIG DEALS: On this day in 1876, the Centennial International Exhibition—celebrating the 100th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence—opened in Fairmount Park in Philadelphia. President Ulysses Grant, accompanied by Brazilian Emperor Dom Pedro II, gave the opening address. Thirty-seven countries and 14,420 businesses participated.
Among the many amazing new inventions one could view was Alexander Graham Bell’s telephone. Upon being shown how it works, Dom Pedro is said to have exclaimed, “My God, it talks!”
Steam power was king in 1876, so a rock drill, grinding machines, screw-making machines, and a whole host of other steam-powered wonders were on display. But so were recently introduced consumer products like Hires Root Beer, Heinz ketchup, and a funny yellow fruit that comes in a bunch from Central America. And popcorn!
Don’t underestimate how important international expositions like this one were to the dissemination of knowledge about technology and the arts. In a day before the various 20th and 21st century methods of mass communication we’ve come to know, these events mattered a lot. Almost 10 million people attended the Centennial International Exhibition in 1876. The most recent census (1870) had put the American population at only 39 million.
Just as important, the event was an opportunity for the United States, having just recently shaken off its war weariness, to shine on the international stage. The government of the people, by the people, for the people had not perished from the earth. And her highly inventive and entrepreneurial citizens were prospering and optimistic about their future.
