Amid deepening divisions, US no longer
seen as beacon of light around the world

People care about their image, how others perceive them. So do nations. Every nation extends its values and interests onto the world stage, generating public opinion. How citizens and governments respond to a nation (positively or negatively) can impact that nation’s power and influence, both real and perceived. That, in turn, affects policy and people — how we live within the global community. In short, what others think of you matters.Into that complex public opinion vortex comes a new report from Pew Research Center, which has been measuring international attitudes for decades

Thanks to the overturning of Roe v. Wade, young women are confronting some basic truths about men and women that feminism has denied for the last half-century. Like other left-wing movements, feminism is based on a denial of reality (or, if you prefer, on lies). The best-known example is the feminist insistence that, except for physical differences, men and women are basically the same. This includes the central feminist belief about men's and women's sexual natures. For half a century, women have been told that their sexual nature is no different from male sexual nature --
Last week The Gateway Pundit’s Jordan Conradson reported that Arizona gubernatorial candidate announced a defamation lawsuit against a radical leftist drag queen and long-time Katie Hobbs activist who is smearing her and her family.A deranged anti-Lake Arizona drag queen claimed that Kari brought her young daughter to a drag show many years ago.
Lake recently tweeted, They kicked God out of schools and welcomed the Drag Queens. They took down our Flag and replaced it with a rainbow. They seek to disarm Americans and militarize our Enemies. Let’s bring back the basics: God, Guns & Glory.
With last Friday’s episode being prerecorded, Monday’s edition of The View was the first time the “rabidly pro-choice” coven was able to collectively shriek about the U.S. Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade. The tirades came with co-host Whoopi Goldberg issuing a warning to Justice Clarence Thomas that the court will take aim at his interracial marriage and possibly even rule he’s not a person again and bring back slavery.
Ironically broadcasting from the Bahamas (to celebrate 25 years of The View), Goldberg proclaimed she’s “very pro-life,” has “never been anti-life,”
MSNBC anchor Joy Ann Reid claimed Americans are being “held hostage” by a “far-right Christian court" following the Supreme Court's various rulings which she argued frequently rules “in favor of religious institutions.”Reid made the remarks on the Supreme Court’s overruling of Roe v. Wade, holding in the Dobbs case that the Constitution does not include a right to abortion The far-left anchor then claimed that in a country “that’s supposedly founded on the separation of church and state, we Americans find ourselves being held hostage by a far right Christian court.”
Michael Stenger, the Senate sergeant at arms who oversaw security in the upper chamber during the Capitol riot, died Monday morning, according to multiple reports.
The cause of his death is not immediately clear. Stenger held the post from 2018 to 2021 and stepped down the day after the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.
"There is an opportunity to learn lessons from the events of January 6th. Investigations should be considered as to funding and travel of what appears to be professional agitators. First Amendment rights should always be considered in conjunction with professional investigations," he said in an opening statement before a Senate committee last year.
Liz Cheney Gets a Rude Awakening

Last week, we learned that Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) was sending out campaign mailers to Democrats in her district in the hopes of saving her reelection. Clearly, she assumed that her lack of viability as a Republican because she assisted in the Democrats’ witchhunt would translate into genuine support from Democrats.
She certainly had reason to believe it was possible. Think about it: how many on the left pretended to “respect” Liz Cheney for her “bravery” for standing up to Trump, and yada, yada, yada?
Well, Liz Cheney is learning the hard way that she was just a useful idiot for the Democrat Party
The insane feminists with green hair have taken to the streets, fundraising e-mails have been drafted, and the soundbites are out. According to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, the Supreme Court is an extremist right-wing institution that punishes the American people. It’s unclear how allowing Americans to weigh in on contentious issues like abortion through their elected representatives is punishing them. Nor is it clear that Americans will heed President Joe Biden’s advice to vote for Democrats so they can codify the right to kill infants in the womb up to the point of birth. According to Col. Allen West, Democrats overestimate Dobbs’s potential impact on the midterms.
The following is adapted from the author’s June 14, 2022, testimony before the Pennsylvania House Majority Policy Committee.
The story on food prices keeps getting worse.
Food prices in May 2022 were a whopping 10.1% higher than prices in May 2021. The size of these food price increases have not been seen in over 40 years and are occurring across food categories, from fresh fruits (8.5%) to fish and seafood (12.2%).
Over the past nine months, each month’s year-over-year food price increase has been above 4%, with each successive month higher than the previous—starting at 4.6% in September and reaching 10.1% in May.
This data can make the situation sound so academic and impersonal.
Chicago mayor Lori Lightfoot (D-IL), incensed by Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas’ concurring opinion in the case which overturned Roe v. Wade, screamed to a crowd over the weekend, “F*** Clarence Thomas!”
In his concurrence, Thomas went farther than the other conservative justices, calling for the concept of substantive due process to be thrown out and reconsidering “all of this Court’s substantive due process precedents, including Griswold, Lawrence, and Obergefell.” Griswold v. Connecticut enshrined the “right to privacy,” Lawrence v. Texas ruled that people had the right to “seek autonomy” in their private relationships, and Obergefell v. Hodges enshrined the right to same-sex marriage.
Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) slammed the Supreme Court for overruling Roe v. Wade, which send the abortion issue back to the states, in a letter to her Democratic colleagues on Monday.
“While this extremist Supreme Court works to punish and control the American people, Democrats must continue our fight to expand freedom in America,” she writes.
In the letter, she says that House Democrats are working on legislation to secure data in women’s reproductive health apps, insinuating that “this information could be used against women by a sinister prosecutor in a state that criminalizes abortion.” In addition,
Some random social media user is facing incredible amounts of mockery and derision for posting a screed calling for pro-abortion extremists to terrorize rural towns.
Posted to the social media site Reddit, which is a hotbed of left-wing insanity, the screed contains a plethora of stunningly naïve assumptions about rural denizens.
For instance, the writer of screed sincerely believes that just because rural towns contain few cops, rural citizens are “defenseless” from violence.This, of course, is not how it works.

A historic West Virginia Catholic Church was burned to the ground on Sunday in a suspected arson attack.
Pro-abortion extremists called for violence and vandalism against churches in response to the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.
The St. Colman Catholic Church, better known as the “The Little Catholic Church on Irish Mountain,” was built in 1878 and was declared an official historic site in 1984.“On 6/26/2022 units from Beaver VFD were alerted to a structure fire at the Saint Colman Catholic Church on Irish Mountain Road in Shady Spring, WV,” the Beaver Volunteer Fire Department said in a Facebook post. “

The Navy is threatening to penalize sailors who purposely misuse pronouns to describe transgender service members, viewing it as a violation of the service's harassment policy.
Sailors who run afoul of the policy could face administrative or judicial action under the Uniform Code of Military Justice, Navy Capt. Dave Hecht, a public affairs officer, told American Military News.
"Intentional misuse of transgender service member pronouns is inappropriate and inconsistent with the Navy zero tolerance policy on harassment," Hecht told the news site.

In the weeks leading up to the U.S. Supreme Court ruling on abortion, following the leaked draft in May, many women took to social media to let men know that if Roe were overturned, the habit of casual hookup sex would end.
“In case you’re a man who doesn’t care about roe v wade just know that if abortion gets banned hookup culture will be absolutely decimated,” TikTok user @moneymollusk wrote in a video, which has received more than 1.2 million views in a single day.

Manchin and Collins: 'We wuz robbed.'

No sooner had the Supreme Court issued its Dobbs opinion then West Virginia’s sometimes-rational-Democrat senator Joe Manchin and senior Maine-Squish-Republican, senator Susan Collins, came out expressing their combined horror and indignation over the decision. They both went to say they were aghast that both Brett Kavanaugh and Neil Gorsuch had apparently misrepresented to them, both in private meetings and during their hearings, that they would respect established precedent. The senators felt “betrayed” by the pair. Manchin was quoted as saying, “I trusted Justice Gorsuch and Justice Kavanaugh
‘The View’ co-host Whoopi Goldberg on Monday issued a warning to Justice Clarence Thomas after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v Wade: The Supreme Court is going to ban interracial marriage and put you back in chains.

Democrats are foaming at the mouth after the Supreme Court ruled 6-3 to overturn the landmark abortion ruling Roe v. Wade last week in a stinging rebuke to the progressive agenda and now look to wage total war against yet another of the nation’s institutions with some guidance from The New York Times which lays out the playbook for brutal revenge.
In a weekend op-ed penned by columnist Jamelle Bouie entitled “How to Discipline a Rogue Supreme Court,” he urges Democrats to strike back hard against what he describes as “a reckless, reactionary and power-hungry court,” meaning the conservative justices who refused to be intimidated by the mob.
Google has told its workers in the U.S. that they will be allowed to move to another state without having to justify it following the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade which removed the constitutional right to abortion.
But other companies who plan to help their workers travel across state lines in order to undergo terminations, may face the wrath of lawmakers who are threatening to introduce legislation to block or at least hinder such offers of support.

In a stunning moment Sunday, the Democrat gubernatorial nominee for the state of Georgia, Stacey Abrams admitted exactly where her party stands when it comes to abortion. In an appearance on “Fox News Sunday,” Abrams flatly refused–twice–to reject abortions taking place up to the point of birth. (Tweet) Fox News:
Abrams was pressed during a “Fox News Sunday” interview to respond to the Supreme Court ruling overturning Roe v. Wade on Friday and whether she believed there should be any limitations on abortion.
Fox News political analyst Juan Williams is ridiculously claiming that Hillary Clinton can save the Democrats from a bloodbath in the 2022 midterms by carping about women’s rights after SCOTUS overturned Roe v. Wade.
In a fevered, hallucinatory political wet dream, Williams evidently believes that Clinton is still the savior of the Democratic Party.
In May, before the leak of the ruling by the Supreme Court surfaced, Clinton warned CBS News that rescinding the constitutional right to abortion “is incredibly dangerous and it is not just about a woman’s right to choose. It is about much more than that.”

If you’re keeping an eye on what Sen. John Cornyn has in store for your Second Amendment rights, you might want to watch his other hand. He has just recently reintroduced the Civics Secures Democracy Act, which would enable the federal government to impose critical race theory (CRT) — that is, state-sanctioned racism and anti-Americanism — on public school civics courses via federal grants.
Of course, the drafters of the bill are too politically savvy to explicitly endorse critical race theory.
