Wasn’t it just last year that Fake Hispanic Beto O’Rourke was America’s new Bobby Kennedy, gracing the cover of Vogue and deserting his wife and kids to set off on a presidential journey of self-exploration? Why, he was such a Golden Boy, the corporate media were covering up for him. Remember? Well, look at him now. He’s losing the Texas governor’s race to Wooderson from Dazed and Confused, and he’s losing by a lot, or as they say in Beto’s fake home country, he’s losing by mucho.
His name may not be Mongo but a shirtless maniac stole a page from “Blazing Saddles” on Monday — punching, and also kicking, three carriage horses in Central Park before claiming he had a knife, witnesses said.The decidedly unfunny and unprovoked alleged animal abuse took place shortly before noon just inside the park near West 59th Street and Sixth Avenue and capped a series of recent incidents possibly involving the same man.Five drivers had their carriages lined up along Center Drive and were waiting for fares when the man started cursing and allegedly slugged a horse that’s driven by Nurettin Kirbiyik.

Joe Biden told us yesterday, “word of a Biden” we were on the verge of America’s “greatest future.”There are a couple of problems with that.We may be on the verge of America’s “greatest future” but it will be in spite of Biden, not because of it and likely only after we are past Biden because of his awful policies.But the other problem is that the word of a Biden isn’t worth anything. Media doesn’t acknowledge them as lies, but Biden lies like he breathes. His most common type of lie is the one that puffs him up — the boasting lie.(Snip) But now, he told another whopper when
National Geographic posted an unhinged and unscientific tweet on Independence Day saying fireworks are racist because they affect communities of color.What complete BS. This is what can be described as “scientism” and NOT “science.” There is absolutely no proof to support this theory. In fact, in cities like St. Louis and New York City, minorities shoot off guns on New Year’s Eve and the 4th of July. This is much more dangerous than sniffing fireworks smoke for a night.
The National Education Association, the largest teacher’s union in the United States, has approved a plan for Critical Race Theory to be implemented in all classrooms nationwide.The radical agenda was adopted after the 100th NEA Assembly, which was held at the Washington Convention Center and was livestreamed as a virtual meeting. Both President Joe Biden and Jill Biden spoke to the educators in a reportedly “mostly empty” hall in Washington. It was symbolic of the lack of public support for the hard left’s racially divisive agenda.Christopher Rufo, a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute and activist against Critical Race Theory, reported
Bill Cosby blasted the mainstream media for the Jan. 6 Capitol riot while calling them out for knowingly, intentionally, and dishonestly misleading the public concerning his overturned case.The 83-year-old issued a statement Sunday that seemed to target the “Media Insurrectionists” as the ones to blame for the storming of the U.S. Capitol on January 6.“This (sic) mainstream media are the Insurrectionists, who stormed the Capitol. Those same Media Insurrectionists are trying to demolish the Constitution of these United State of America on this Independence Day,” Cosby said in the statement after defending his former co-star Phylicia Rashad, according to Deadline.

Banner,’ store full of TX Walmart
shoppers stopped and joined 8 replies
‘Attention Walmart shoppers’ perhaps got a new meaning on July 3 when customers in a Dallas-Fort Worth-area store stopped what they were doing and spontaneously began singing “The Star-Spangled Banner” with hands over their hearts. Apparently, one patron started it, and many other onlookers joined in.The TikTok video of the pro-America singalong, which was met with a huge round of applause at the end, has since gone viral on several online platforms. A TikTok user with the handle raised..right labeled the clip with this wording: “Very patriotic scene in Haslet, Tx Walmart 7/3/21 someone started singing the national anthem and people joined in.”

** Shutting down flights from China
While American troops were leaving their main military base in Afghanistan on Friday, China was already preparing to enter the war-torn country to fill the vacuum left by U.S. and NATO troops. Authorities in Kabul are considering extending a $62 billion China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) as part of China's Belt and Road Initiative (BRI).First launched in 2013 by Chinese president Xi Jinping, and written into the Chinese constitution in 2017, it is billed by Beijing officials as a global infrastructure development fund which aims to better connect China to the rest of the world.The Chinese entry comes amid threats from the Taliban to NATO to get out of Afghanistan

Sixty-five thousand shells on five barges sitting in New York's East River blasted off fireworks of red, white and blue into the night sky on Sunday night wowing audiences watching the spectacular display - the city's biggest ever - both in person and on television.At least 50 pyrotechnicians had spent days loading the shells before the fuses were lit at 9.25pm as Americans marked their nation's 245th birthday.Tens of thousands of people gathered along the city's East River in the boroughs of Manhattan, Queens and Brooklyn in order to catch a glimpse of the impressive show. As always, fireworks displays are the highlight of the July Fourth holiday,
The still-standing portion of the partially collapsed condo building in Surfside, Florida, was brought down using explosives Sunday night.The move occurred after 10 p.m. ET, 11 days after the shocking collapse of much of the residential Champlain Towers structure on June 24 that resulted in 24 confirmed deaths, with 121 people still unaccounted for, according to Miami-Dade County officials.County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava said the demolition of the remaining portion of the building was a necessary step for crews to continue their search for any possible survivors of the disaster."Bringing down this building in a controlled manner is critical to expanding the scope of our search-and-rescue effort," Cava told reporters

Missouri Congresswoman Cori Bush sparked controversy on Sunday with a tweet in which she said Independence Day was only a holiday for white people.
'When they say that the 4th of July is about American freedom, remember this: the freedom they’re referring to is for white people,' she wrote. 'This land is stolen land and Black people still aren’t free.' Bush, who was first elected to the House of Representatives in November, has been widely viewed as the newest member of the so-called 'Squad' of congresswomen known for being outspoken on their left-wing views, and she is no stranger to controversy.
The Statue of Liberty is a 'meaningless symbol of hypocrisy' because of America's history of racism, sexism and anti-immigrant sentiment, according to the Washington Post's art and architecture critic.Philip Kennicott, a Pulitzer Prize winner, argued in an essay Saturday that the monument - which has stood for a century as one of the most iconic examples of American freedom - represented 'unfulfilled promises'.He added that the statue was irrelevant to non-white Americans, using as evidence the absence of representations of the statue when he visited a Chicano art exhibit at the Smithsonian American Art Museum in Washington.
Those of Joe Biden’s public behaviors that align with classic dementia symptoms are escalating. In the past few days, he strongly exhibited two symptoms: A type of belligerence that’s a cover-up for confusion and memory loss and a paranoid fear of those in charge of him.
I used to spend a lot of time in the company of doctors. What always fascinated me were the tales they told of dealing with patients with early-stage dementia. The most interesting point they made was that elderly people, so as not to lose face or admit their own fears, are superb at deflecting the questions aimed at assessing their cognitive skills and memory.
House Financial Services Committee Chairwoman Maxine Waters (D-CA) criticized the Declaration of Independence in a tweet on July 4th, suggesting it is a racist document because it was written almost 250 years ago, when there was slavery in the United States.She tweeted Sunday: July 4th… & so, the Declaration of Independence says all men are created equal. Equal to what? What men? Only white men? Isn’t it something that they wrote this in 1776 when African Americans were enslaved? They weren’t thinking about us then, but we’re thinking about us now!
Biden on Saturday visited a cherry farm near Antrim County with Michigan governor Gretchen Whitmer and democrat senators Peters and Stabenow.About 25 people lined up along the route to King Orchard to see Dementia Joe. Democrat Senator Debbie Stabenow bragged about the 2 dozen people (probably paid staffers) lining up along the road to see Biden. 25 Biden supporters.But he got 81 million votes. VIDEO:(Tweet/Video) On the very same day, over 45,000 people came out to see Trump in a rainstorm and another 375,000 watched his live speech on RSBN Rumble.
Barack Obama moved his way up into the top 10 of C-SPAN’s presidential leadership survey for the first time this year, while Donald Trump clocked in at 41st on the list, months after the end of his term in office.C-SPAN released the rankings from its Historians Survey of Presidential Leadership, which is taken after each presidential transition, on Wednesday.

The young midshipman needed a date one evening while he was home from the US Naval Academy, so his younger sister paired him with a family friend who already had a crush.Nearly eight decades later, Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter are still together in the same tiny town where they were born, grew up and had that first outing. In between, they've traveled the world as Naval officer and military spouse, American president and first lady, and finally as human rights and public health ambassadors.'It's a full partnership,' the 39th president told The Associated Press during a joint interview ahead of the couple's 75th wedding anniversary on July 7.
The country’s largest teachers union has moved to undermine the left-wing talking point that critical race theory is not taught to children -- by voting promote it and arguing it is "reasonable and appropriate" to use CRT in social studies classes.
The National Education Association has approved a plan to "publicize" critical race theory and dedicate a "team of staffers" to assist union members looking to "fight back against anti-CRT rhetoric."
Students on the campus of Georgetown University said they are not proud to be an American when interviewed shortly before the Fourth of July holiday, adding that they would give up their American citizenship.
