IF ONLY THERE WERE A SCREWFLY SOLUTION: USDA seeks to combat spread of New World screwworms into U.S.
AT THIS POINT YOU PRETTY MUCH EXPECT THIS KIND OF THING:

EVERY STATE SHOULD START IGNORING THE ABA, A PARTISAN, SELF-INTERESTED ORGANIZATION THAT DOESN’T EVEN REPRESENT THE BAR. Josh Blackman: Comment to the Texas Supreme Court On Whether To “Reduce Or End” Reliance on the American Bar Association.
ABSOLUTELY:
In a saner America, quoting Marx aspirationally would have the same deserved effect on one’s political career as quoting Hitler aspirationally.

TO BE FAIR, COMMIES DON’T REALLY CARE WHERE THE MONEY COMES FROM:
This is a bit embarrassing.
Mamdani has a plan for paying for his city-owned grocery stores. He's planning to tap into a $140 million pile of subsidies for "corporate grocery stores."
But that pile of money doesn't exist. He just misread a government website. (Link in reply) pic.twitter.com/sI2TTh3aB1— Tim Carney (@TPCarney) July 1, 2025
THE DOGS DON’T LIKE THE DOG FOOD.
Kind of a blockbuster here: Pixar made a movie about a gay 11-year-old; at a test screening not a single viewer raised their hand to recommend it; gay Latino director fired; America Ferrera quit b/c of this; movie reworked and flopped.

PERHAPS THE WEST SHOULD BE LESS GENEROUS:
"At every stage, Mamdani's family, for multiple generations, benefitted enormously from the generosity and openness of the West. And at every stage, his family has spit on that generosity, allying itself with third-world socialist and communist movements, even though those… https://t.co/QyxF58f08j

“It just can’t be right….” This is what makes Justice Kagan’s vote in this particular case so disappointing. The least she should have done is to write her own dissenting opinion to justify this change of mind from 2022: pic.twitter.com/QzodvH4Dhr

IF THEY REALLY THOUGHT HE WAS MAO TSE TUNG REINCARNATED, THEY’D BE SUPPORTING HIM: John Lucas: It’s a media meme! “Trump is Mao and MAGA is the Red Guards.”
HIGHER EDUCATION BUBBLE UPDATE, ENEMY WITHIN EDITION: Enablers of Mamdani: America’s Universities.
ANALYSIS: TRUE.
What you have to realize about the communist class in America is that they are all bored, privileged theater kids with nothing better to do than destroy Western civilization.
None of them actually grew up hard knocks. https://t.co/VWLBBGiR2e

KURT SCHLICHTER: The Democrat We Conservatives Need to Worry About.
It’s Representative Ro Khanna from California, specifically Silicon Valley.
Perhaps you haven’t heard of him yet, but if he has his way, you will. The guy is intensely ambitious. He’s a Yale lawyer from back before Yale Law School became a communist joke. He is wired into the tech world (a bunch of big tech companies are in his district). He can also speak in coherent sentences. He tells a powerful story as the son of legal immigrants. He’s got the résumé, but he’s also got the drive. He ran and ran and ran until he finally won an election to Congress against a long-term congressman. And he won’t admit it outright, but he’s got his eyes set on the White House.
I became familiar with him by listening to the Hugh Hewitt Show here on Salem, and when I recently guest-hosted for Hugh, I asked our booker to reach out and see if he would come on. I didn’t expect he would. After all, I am me. But he did. And he was really, really good. It pains me to admit it, but the guy has talent. And we should be, if not worried, concerned.
