OUR ELITES VIEWED THIS AS A FEATURE, NOT A BUG: Covid vaccine lowered chances of conception, study of 1.3million women finds.

Of course, when the left regains power, I’ll be accused of wrongthink, and– Yes, I do realize this. Ah well. You lays down your money, you takes your bet. And right is right. A woman’s got to do what a woman’s got to do.
WHAT ABOUT THE OBJECTIVELY SEXUAL ABUSE OF THE WOMEN WHO HAD TO SEE MALE GENITALS IN THEIR CHANGING ROOM? UPenn Bans Males From Female Sports.
What about the psychological warfare these women endured for years? What about missed opportunities and wasted years? If there’s no compensation paid, UPenn doesn’t mean it.
ER…. WHAT? What Happened In 2013-2014 That Caused Democrat Pride In America To Fall Off A Cliff?
With all due respect, I’ve been in America for forty years. I was here for a year in 1981/82. Never in any of that time did the Democrats have any pride in America. They just used to be quieter about how much they despised their own homeland.
MIND BOGGLING: The perfect storm, Minnesota style.
INDEED. WHICH OF US HASN’T BEEN LECTURED BY THE CULT OF THE LEFT ON OUR OWN RELIGION? Beware of false prophets.
TODAY IS CANADA DAY. COINCIDENTALLY ALSO INTERNATIONAL JOKE DAY: Your annual Canada Day reminder that Trudeau & his govt “celebrated” Canada Day 2021 by peddling the lie that the “remains” of 215 dead children had been dug out of a field in BC. He never admitted the falsehood, nor have most of the media that uncritically reported this nonsense
MASSIVE ADVANCES TO POLITICIANS NO ONE WANTS TO READ ARE BRIBES. NO MORE NO LESS: Oh look, someone ghostwrote a novel and they slapped Stacey Abrams’ name on it. This will go straight to the remainder bins.
AND FOR THE: xless.
YEAH. SOME OF US KNOW THIS: So, Iran.

NOTHING TO SEE HERE, MOVE ALONG: Chinese spacecraft begin rendezvous and proximity operations in geostationary orbit. To be fair, the U.S. military was doing this sort of thing in the 1960s.
FINALLY, THE LONG-AWAITED MIAMI VICE MEETS LOONEY TUNES CROSSOVER EPISODE: Florida beachgoer finds nearly half a million dollars of cocaine wrapped in “Yosemite Sam” packaging.
A major storm has yet to hit Florida this hurricane season but that hasn’t stopped the annual deluge of drugs from making landfall.
A beachgoer on Sunday morning stumbled across nearly $500,000 worth of cocaine wrapped in “Yosemite Sam” packaging washed up on shore, authorities said, marking yet another discovery of illicit drugs along coasts in the Sunshine State.
The 25 kilos of drugs were wrapped in packaging featuring the iconic gun-brandishing cartoon character, the Walton County Sheriff’s Office said in a social media post, which included images of the cocaine.
“While enjoying our beautiful beaches, if you come across any square groupers, PLEASE call the Walton County Sheriff’s Office immediately and DO NOT touch suspicious packages,” the office said. “The contents could be extremely harmful. We’re here if you need us.”
Authorities said they confiscated the narcotics and logged them into evidence.
Well, now we know where Bugs, Daffy, and Porky got all their energy from:
DANA CARVEY LOOKS BACK AT PLAYING THE (P)RESIDENT:

So the comedians all knew that Biden’s brain was guacamole, as did Republicans. And yet somehow, until right around this time a year ago, America’s journalists just couldn’t figure it out. As Charles Cooke wrote a year ago:
I think that the press helped to cover up Joe Biden’s condition, and that it did so as a matter of habit, out of a corrupt desire to help the Democratic Party. Some in the press strongly deny this. They insist that they didn’t know how bad it was. They say that they were as shocked as anyone by what they saw last Thursday night. They contend that they are not the perpetrators but the victims.
Okay, then. If that’s true, we ought to talk through its implications. If it’s true, then the press was duped — and duped by the federal government of the United States of America. If it’s true, then the executive branch has been engaged in a massive — and effective — conspiracy to keep Biden’s infirmity from the people who are supposed to report the news. If it’s true, then the White House fooled the media; it outwitted the media; it embarrassed the media. If it’s true, then the president and his political party colluded to suppress the ability of the sacred Fourth Estate to relay matters of public interest to the voters, and, in the process, it made a mockery of the First Amendment.
So . . . is the press gonna investigate that? It certainly sounds like a big story to me.
That would be no. Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson’s book was simply a box ticking exercise in an effort to memory hole the media’s gaslighting during the previous five years:
THE PRIDE SLIDE: In his Commentary newsletter today, Abe Greenwald writes:
As we discussed on the podcast today, a new Gallup poll finds that 58 percent of U.S. adults are “very” or “extremely” proud to be an American. This is a record low. For purposes of comparison consider that, in January 2001, when Gallup first ran this poll, 87 percent of those asked were very or extremely proud Americans. After 9/11, that shot up to 90 percent.
Dismal as this drop is, at least we can say that most Americans are still proud of their country.
Not so for Democrats—not even close. From Gallup: “Democrats are mostly responsible for the drop in U.S. pride this year, with 36% saying they are extremely or very proud, down from 62% a year ago.” Republicans are at 92 percent, and independents are at 53 percent.
* * * * * * * *
As Democrats have come under the sway of progressive and leftist ideas, they’ve come to agree that the U.S. is, on balance, a nasty place. Their pride in the country is conditional: It surfaces only when one of their own is in the White House. Which isn’t national pride at all—it’s pridefulness. No one put it better than Michelle Obama, who said of her husband’s Democratic nomination in 2008, “for the first time in my adult lifetime, I am really proud of my country.”
It never occurs to them that they can be proud of their country even when it’s not directly rewarding them. They can’t be proud of our being the oldest continuous democracy on the planet. They can’t celebrate the genius of our Constitution and its built-in mechanisms for preserving liberty and facilitating ongoing national improvement. What does America mean to them? Depends who’s in power when you ask. There’s no constancy to their appreciation of the greatest country the world has ever seen.

If you only saw those headlines, you’d think this was a story about Donald Trump dividing Americans: “That Orange Monster has done it again! We TOLD YOU he was ‘literally Hitler.’ And now, finally, the rest of the country is so disgusted with his fascist MAGA garbage, they’ve — *sniff* — lost their pride in America! This is TERRIBLE!”
That’s the power of headlines. When it comes to propaganda, “fake news,” and misinformation, headlines are still one of the top tools in the propagandists’ toolkit.
Because, when we take a peek under the hood of Gallup’s poll, an entirely different story emerges: This isn’t a tale about Trump dividing America! Nor is it a story about “everyday Americans” forsaking the hopes and dreams of Lee Greenwood.
Instead, it’s a story about Democrats giving up on America.
According to Gallup’s own numbers, in 2001, 90% of Republicans were “extremely” or “very” proud of being an American. Almost an identical number of Democrats — 87% — felt the exact same way.
About eight years later, during the first year of the Obama administration, Republican numbers were pretty much unchanged: 92%.
Yet the Democratic numbers fell to 78%.
And eight years after that (2017), Republican numbers stayed remarkably constant: 92%.
The Democratic number dropped again, to 67%.
Just six years later (2023), the Democrats were back in control of Washington, DC. Joe Biden (and his top aide, Mr. Autopen) were back in the White House. Remember, this was the era of open borders, pro-Hamas protests, and anti-American activism run amuck. Yet once again, Republican pride in America stayed incredibly consistent: 85%.
Meanwhile, the Democratic number dropped to 55%.
So here we are today, in the summer of 2025. Two more years have passed. Gallup just released its latest numbers on American pride, and for the umpteenth time, the Republican numbers are almost entirely unchanged: 92%.
This means that Republicans were just as proud of being an American under the first year of Trump’s second term as they were during the first year of Obama’s first term!
That’s because, for Republicans, American pride isn’t tethered to a politician’s career. We don’t stop loving our country just because we don’t win on Election Day. Instead, it motivates us: Because we love our country, we fight even harder in the following cycle!
Not so with the Democrats: According to Gallup, their pride in America has now plummeted to just… 36%!
That’s the real story, when you look beyond the headlines: The Democratic Party has given up on America.
And yet, they never leave, and are furious at the prospect of illegal immigrants being removed from this vast hellscape of a nation:
