“I’D RATHER HAVE A SISTER IN A WHOREHOUSE THAN A BROTHER IN THE FBI.” Wait, Did the FBI Secretly Dig Up Civil War Gold? New Documents Shed Light on What Really Happened. “The FBI has never wavered from its statement, made shortly after the dig was completed on March 14, 2018, that nothing was found on Dents Run. But this steadfastness hasn’t changed anyone’s mind in the community—and the Bureau’s behavior in the aftermath of the excavation has only surfaced more questions. The FBI hasn’t just denied excavating gold; the Bureau has denied doing things that neighbors plainly witnessed, including the overnight dig.”

NARRATIVE: TRUMP IS THE MOST UNPOPULAR PRESIDENT IN HISTORY!
Reality:
In July 2022, the @RCPolitics average had Joe Biden's job approval at net -19.9. Donald Trump's current RCP average is net -15.6 — i.e, despite everything, Trump is STILL more popular than Mr. Eighty-One Million Votes. pic.twitter.com/TxjdDg9Ovj

THE ELECTION OF BARACK OBAMA WAS A TRAGEDY FOR THE NATION ON MANY LEVELS:
An ex president has three choices
1. Retire from the public stage
2. Speak only in unifying terms
3. Stay engaged as a partisan, with the dishonesty or selective truth that demands
It's a tremendous shame that President Obama has chosen the last path. https://t.co/ZnyCl4VPqA

K-12 IMPLOSION UPDATE:
At its height, the NYC public school system educated 1.2 million kids a year. Ten years ago that dropped below 1 million. The current estimates are about 880,000. Ten years from now it could be only 700,000. And yet the budget just keeps going up. https://t.co/0tu5Re0Jlb

DEMOCRATS HOLD RACISM AND SEXISM SACRED: EXCLUSIVE: In Cities Across America, Homeless Services Are Doled Out Based on Race and Sexual Identity.
IT’S HARD TO ARGUE WITH THIS:
Tennessee is MORE Republican than Massachusetts is Democratic. If it's ok for Massachusetts to be 9-0 Dem then it's ok for Tennessee to be 9-0 Rep. Late primary, fully justified and Cohen isn't even black. Get it done. https://t.co/7laL5ddP2w pic.twitter.com/jdSSlsnEW1

TIT FOR TAT IS HOW THEY LEARN:
Straight from the Comey playbook. What feds have always done. If anyone deserves it, it's this treasonous douchebag. He and all the others who pushed that Russia bullshit at Obama's behest, plus all of you in the media who regurgitated it, deserve more than that. https://t.co/ujPTQ1fmOb

THE OIL BLOCKADE IS PUTTING PRESSURE ON ALL THE CORRUPT ONE-PARTY STATES: Vacations under threat as California’s oil stockpile hangs on by a thread. “California’s in-state oil production peaked in the mid-1980s, specifically around 1985 at approximately 424 million barrels annually. Since then, production has experienced a long-term, steady decline, with current production falling significantly to about 285,000 barrels per day.”

OPEN THREAD: Hump Day.
JERRY POURNELLE WROTE SOMETHING ABOUT THIS, I THINK: Could the moon ever be blockaded? Experts predict cislunar space could be the next Strait of Hormuz. “Just as the Strait of Hormuz is a narrow waterway, cislunar space, though seemingly large, actually contains a few unique and exclusive points of transit through which all lunar travel must pass.”
