MOST AUTHORS HAVE MORE DISTANCE FROM THEIR SUBJECT…  Woman who wrote book on healthcare fraud sentenced in $136 million Medicare scheme.

THE CREDENTIALED CLASS HAS LOST THEIR CREDIBILITY FOR GOOD AND ALL:  Canary in a Climate World.

AND IT’S A TRULY STUPID CHOICE:  Drugged Transients Overrun Austin Library.

THIS IS TRUE:  Nobody Sells Guns Better Than Anti-Gun Progressives.

COMMUNISM SHOULD BE AS JUSTLY REVILED AS FASCISM:  This should be disqualifying.

GOOD:  Chinese pastor released from prison weeks after Trump raised case with Xi Jinping.

WHEN THIS DIVIDE PRESENTS, IT IS THE “ELITE” THAT SHOULD BE CONCERNED:   Cloud people and dirt people.

WELL, OBVIOUSLY. THEY DESERVE A LOT OF MONEY FOR BEING ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF HISTORY AFTER ALL:  Progressives are only against “some people” getting wealthy.

Thank heavens we’ve closed some of their spigots at least.

WE SHOULD AT LEAST CELEBRATE ROBERT A. HEINLEIN’S BIRTHDAY, WHICH IS ALSO TODAY:  Tanabata Star Festival in Japan Explained.

Happy birthday R.A.H. the world in general and my life in particular would be very different without you!

GOAL POSTS MOVING ON WATER:  Vessel Forced Out Of New York Ship Parade Over ‘Politically Charged’ Banners.

The eco freaks involved don’t understand how “advocating for clean water” is political but the signs they refused to remove include climate change and indigenous rights bafflegab.

THIS IS NOT JUST A RANT ABOUT GROKPEDIA (BUT IT IS THAT TOO!):  Just-So Stories.

ON SUNDAYS I RUN A PROMO POST FOR (MOSTLY) INDIE AUTHORS:  Book Promo And Vignettes By Luke, Mary Catelli and ‘Nother Mike.

There is also a vignette challenge which people have a ton of fun with.

IT’S TIME TO RID OUR CIVIC BODY OF THE POISON OF COLLECTIVISM AND GROUP IDENTITY:  Treat People as Individuals.

Honestly? It’s well past time.

AMEN:  On Our 250th Anniversary: The History Jefferson Warned Us Not to Forget. A Fourth of July reflection on what every American should study.

I SAY YEAH, RON THE SANTIS:  “It is often asserted that the world has made a great deal of progress since 1776, that we have had new thoughts and new experiences which have given us a great advance over the people of that day, and that we may therefore very well discard their conclusions for something more modern. But that reasoning can not be applied to this great charter.

(I’d give you the x-cancel link, but this post broke it.)

AS HE SHOULD:  Trump pardons 9 people convicted of tampering with emission controls on diesel engines. Alaska veteran Mac Spurlock was among those freed after armed EPA agents raided his shop over engine modifications.

CATCHY AS HECK:  Greatest new song to come out of the World Cup!

WHAT HE SAID:  My Culture ‘Tis of Thee- America at 250!  The question of “What is an American?” is currently grinding our cultural gears. Well there is and has been an answer to that question for 250 years- it’s our distinct and indelible culture.

THEY PROMISE EQUALITY AND FRATERNITY BUT DEATH IS THE ONLY GIFT IN THEIR GIVING:  The (Commie) King’s Speech. The new Ugandan communist “it” boy addresses the nation.

THIS FOR THEIR OPINION OF US:  “Yankee Doodle”.

IT CERTAINLY DOES:  An old post of Ian’s. That bears repeating.

AMEN:  THE UNBREAKABLE COLOSSUS AT 250:  America’s Quarter-Millennium of Defiant Liberty…Why This Republic of Rebels and Visionaries Remains the Greatest Nation on Earth and the Only One Worth Shedding Blood to Preserve.

FOR ALL THESE REASONS AND MORE: I Love America Because…  A Happy and blessed Fourth of July to all Americans, who are celebrating our nation’s 250th anniversary. Our country has stood the test of time and is still worth cheering for! Here’s why.

YES, I’M GOING TO SHARE ALL OF THESE ONE DAY LATE:  Independence Day. On the 250th Birthday.

Sorry, but it was very late when I got anywhere near a computer last night.

NO. THE SOVIET UNION DIED OF CENTRAL PLANNING:  We Are Dying of the Same Thing That Killed the Soviets. The system optimizes for the system. The ideology is decoration.

Sorry we are not the same! That said, bureaucracy is always an issue. It needs pruning.
