WELL PUT: Hey Tech Bros, the Model for Surviving on the AI Frontier is Guns. “People often think of tech freedom through a First Amendment lens, because that’s the only mainstream framework to articulate a technical legal argument for ‘The government is required to leave me alone.’ But as tech becomes more dangerous — AI! drones! humanoid robots! biochemical research! — the Second Amendment is the better fit.”
I’M OK WITH TOTAL DEFEAT:
Even the so-called moderate Democrat who says he wants to challenge the America-hating communists in his party is in favor of packing the court, a change that would end our constitutional republic. The Democrats have gone stark raving mad, and there is no cure but total defeat. https://t.co/BlTrq72TJ7

LEFTIES POSING AS WHITE NATIONALISTS ARE THE LEAST OF HER TROUBLES:
OK, weirdo in company of weirdos. The whole thing is kinda weird.
Still waiting on the media takedown of who these guys are, who's paying for all this. Add to that, what's her deal?
In the end, a weird non-eventful demonstration. Who cares? Wake me up when they start attacking… https://t.co/sDFUVPR3I9

I’VE SEEN THIS MOVIE. IT DOESN’T GO WELL: Scientists Have Created a Cell from Scratch and Researchers Say ‘We Can Engineer It.’ “The cell, called SpudCell, was developed by researchers at the University of Minnesota, according to the scientific paper made public on Thursday, July 2. Unlike previous synthetic cells, which were created by modifying living cells, SpudCell was assembled entirely with nonliving chemicals.”
SpudCell?
DISPATCHES FROM THE WORKERS’ PARADISE: New York Bodega Owners to City: Drop Dead!
CIVIL RIGHTS UPDATE: Lawsuit challenges Denver, state over gun & magazine bans.
A Colorado gun rights groups and three Denver-area gun owners on Tuesday filed a federal lawsuit challenging Denver’s decades-old ban on so-called “assault weapons,” as well as Colorado’s statewide prohibition on standard-capacity ammunition magazines, arguing both laws violate the Second Amendment.
The suit was filed in U.S. District Court by the Colorado State Shooting Association (CSSA), the Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC), and individual plaintiffs Ray Elliott, Trevor Alley and Michael Vitco, all Denver residents.
CSSA is the Colorado state affiliate of the National Rifle Association (NRA).
At issue is Denver’s 1989 ordinance banning the sale, manufacture and possession of firearms the city labels “assault weapons,” and Colorado’s 2013 law banning magazines that hold more than 15 rounds. The complaint argues both laws are, in practice, magazine restrictions as Denver’s ordinance defines a banned “assault weapon” chiefly by whether it accepts a magazine over 15 rounds.
The 2013 law drove Magpul to pull up stakes and relocate to Texas — foreshadowing what the next dozen years of single-party Democrat rule would bring.
INDEED:
Not only did the Left ignore Iryna Zarutska’s murder they then tore down murals that commemorated her life.
So they can fck right off about a woman sitting safely on public transportation.
Sick people.

Lefties will gin up a photo up to push a false narrative, and ignore an actual murder that contradicts it.
START ‘EM YOUNG: Michael Dell celebrates America’s 250th birthday with gift to seed the American Dream for millions of kids.
The Dell Technologies CEO took to X on Saturday to announce they are giving $250 each to the first 25 million qualifying American children who sign up for “Trump Accounts.”
“This makes every child a shareholder in the greatest prosperity-creating engine the world has ever known — American capitalism,” Dell wrote in an X post. “Through this public-private partnership, we’re giving the next generation a real stake in our economy and a path to the American Dream: education, a first home, starting a business, and building lasting wealth.”
Next: Teach kids the Rule of 72 and get them contributing even just a few bucks a month.
KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEFING: That Was Fun — We Should Throw Another Party Like It Next Year. “The intensity and immenseness of freedom in the United States of America should get a month-long celebration. I mean, we have to suffer through Pride Month every June. Calling July ‘American Independence Month’ would be an excellent palate cleanser.”
RIGHT UP UNTIL IT SINKS: Cuba’s Surveillance State Keeps Communist Party Afloat.
What has kept the government of Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel, the paper said, is the party’s iron control over daily life, not its ability to deliver electricity, food, or wages.
That description tracks with the state’s recent behavior on the ground.
At June’s nighttime pot-banging protests in Morón and other cities, civilian informants filmed demonstrators so police could identify and arrest them the next day, the Foundation for Human Rights in Cuba documented. The Ministry of the Interior’s black-beret riot brigade deployed in Santiago as officers cut internet access to isolate protest zones.
The economic picture behind the crackdown is stark.
The U.N. Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean projects Cuba’s GDP will contract 6.5% in 2026, the worst in the region, and the electricity generation deficit hit a record 2,208 MW on June 25, leaving roughly 70% of the island without power. The Cuban Conflict Observatory logged 1,311 protests in May, the highest monthly total on record.
It certainly looks like something’s gotta give.

THE CIA HAS FAR TOO MANY SECRETS: The Manson Story Isn’t Dead Because the CIA Still Has Secrets.
MAYBE THUNE WON’T NOTICE: Johnson says House will pass SAVE America Act ‘one more time’ in reconciliation bill. “He said that although a prohibition on mail-in voting with exceptions and other requests made by Trump could be included, the “bigger reach” is to hone the bill to focus on providing proof of citizenship when registering to vote and the presentation of photo ID before casting a ballot — the core components of the bill.”

SEND THEM BACK. ALL OF THEM: Biden’s illegal immigration surge triggered 30% rise in home prices, $ 20% in rents, Fed paper finds.
BEEGE WELBORN, American.
WHAT A SHOW:
On the historic USS Nimitz, on our 250th bday, I performed Superman for our amazing @USNavy, @FDNY heroes, and Gold Star Families with former hostage Alon Ohel. Alon is a miracle, alive because of the President, @SecRubio & others. America has a history of making miracles. 🇺🇸❤️ pic.twitter.com/pV3puYxLlF
