NOT DELIVERING: Biskupic’s Second Installment on Trump Immunity. “Frankly, there is not much insight here. Almost everything she wrote could have been deduced from simply reading the opinions.”

THE NEW SPACE RACE: With a landmark launch, the Pentagon is finally free of Russian rocket engines.
MISSING FROM THIS STORY: INFORMATION ON WHO THE PERPETRATORS ARE. Black Americans 20 times more likely to have gun injuries than White Americans. “Black persons made up only 12.6% of the U.S. population in 2020, but suffered 61.5% of all firearm assaults.”
EVERYTHING IS GOING SWIMMINGLY: Suicides rising among kids ages 8 to 12, especially in girls.
FIGHT HATE AND BIGOTRY: Indiana University hit with civil rights complaint over NINETEEN race-based scholarships.
DON SURBER ON Being Called Weird by a Weirdo. “Calling someone weird only works if you are not weird. . . . Seriously, Walz needs to sit this one out. The Tennessee Star reported, ‘Minnesota Taxpayer-Funded Pride Event to Be Hosted by Satanist Incest Pornographer.'”
UPDATE: From a friend.
MORE: The pervasiveness of “weird” in the mind of Tim Walz. “Anyway, it seems that “normal” is a very high standard this time around. But it’s strange for Democrats to call the whole group of Republican candidates ‘weird’ when, for so long, they’ve been stressing the singular weirdness of Trump. I’m very susceptible to the argument that we need a President who’s at least normal, but there’s something abnormal — perverse — about generating the feeling that all the candidates are weird.”
Biden was sold as normal but wasn’t. Kamala isn’t normal. J.D. Vance is the most normal person on the menu for this election, and they’re going out of their way to call him weird.
AND WORSE RULERS: Socialists make terrible neighbors.
In today’s episode of “Democrats defend unadulterated evil,” vice presidential hopeful and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz told liberals, “Don’t ever shy away from our progressive values. One person’s socialism is another person’s neighborliness.” . . .
All that aside, let’s consider how neighborly socialism has historically been. Socialist and communist governments murdered an estimated 168,759,000 people from 1900-1987, by far the largest genocide in human history. The Marxists killed six times as many innocent people as the fascists and three times as many people as Genghis Khan’s Golden Horde. The Chinese communists murdered around 90 million people, and Joseph Stalin’s 43 million kills brought the USSR’s death toll to around 70 million, hardly neighborly. Ask a modern-day Ukrainian how it feels to be the neighbors of a post-socialist oligarchic state.
Walz, Harris, and even Marx-loving, Soviet Union-honeymooning Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) are no Stalin or Chairman Mao, or at least our constitutional order has thus far successfully prevented them from becoming those dictators. But to pretend that their deranged and oppressive policies are neighborly is as nonsensical as it is malicious.
During the George Floyd race riots of 2020, Walz allowed masked bands of street communists to burn Minneapolis to the ground, causing half a billion in damage to over 1,500 locations as then-Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA raised money to bail out the rioters. Her post on X promoting the fundraiser is still active.
If you start with the presumption that socialists are garbage people, you won’t go far wrong.

Well, okay then.

I like that he was killed, and it’s better that he was killed in Iran where he probably thought he was safe. Sends a better message.
BOLD STRATEGY, COTTON, LET’S SEE IF IT PAYS OFF FOR THEM:
The Harris campaign has decided they want to fight a culture war this summer with the GOP. Their cultural priorities are:
—Sex changes for minors
—Drag shows for kids
—Pornography in schools
—Men in women’s sports
—Men in girls’ restrooms and locker rooms
—race-based everything— Stephen Miller (@StephenM) July 30, 2024

THE POLICE AREN’T THERE TO PROTECT CITIZENS FROM CRIMINALS, BUT TO PROTECT CRIMINALS FROM CITIZENS. BUT IF THEY OVER DO THEIR JOBS, WELL . . . Violent crowd clashes with UK police after young girls killed. “A large crowd of anti-Muslim protesters clashed with police on Tuesday in a northern English town where three girls were stabbed to death and five other children critically wounded during an attack on a Taylor Swift-themed event on Monday. The horrific stabbing incident in Southport, a quiet seaside town north of Liverpool, has shocked the nation. Police have said it was not linked to terrorism and that the suspect was born in the UK.”
They won’t release his name or anything about him, though, which has people drawing the obvious conclusions. Dumb.
