New German Chancellor Encapsulates Ignorance
Of Leftism In Just One Interview

Most of us would agree with many of the aspects of Western leftists’ utopian objectives: A world at peace, disease, and starvation eradicated, and humanity living in harmony with Mother Nature. It all sounds wonderful, no doubt. Just about every person on the planet would love to see an end to war, though once established utopia may look very different depending on one’s views on religion and governments’ roles. Seeing an end to global hunger and sickness has been a common goal of societies for all of human history [snip] For each of these aspirations, a key difference between leftists and non-leftists tends to be a fundamental understanding of human nature.

Never forget Thomas Jefferson

We can never allow people to erase Thomas Jefferson from American history. Thousands of years from now, his masterpiece — the Declaration of Independence — will be held up as a turning point in human history. The first two phrases alone changed the world.
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal ..."
It's almost impossible to comprehend how radical this idea was from our modern perspective. This was the first time a government founded itself on the idea of equality.

Greenie policies have destroyed Sri Lanka and Pakistan, and they destroy pretty much any economy wherever they go. The revolt has now hit the Netherlands. According to RedState: You won’t see it on any of the alphabet networks, but a protest movement is exploding in the Netherlands after the government moved to shut down farms in order to “fight” climate change. The contentious move, pushed by the World Economic Forum, was enacted as part of an EU agreement that seeks to limit the release of nitrogen.

Calls have rung out across the nation demanding gun control laws in a bid to curb violent crimes such as the recent series of mass shootings. Data, however, show that in states with higher percentages of households with at least one gun, crimes are not higher than in states with strict gun laws.
"Gun ownership is higher in states with fewer restrictions, and homicide rates in these states are lower. People can protect themselves," George Mason University Professor Emerita Joyce Lee Malcolm [snip] a study on burglars [snip] found 34% of burglars interviewed reported "to having been scared off, shot at, wounded or captured by an armed victim."
A 34-year-old Colorado man is recovering after he was gored by a bison Monday at Yellowstone National Park.
According to park officials, he was walking on a boardwalk with his family near the Old Faithful geyser.
The group reportedly did not leave the area when a bison charged at them.
The bull bison continued to charge and gored the man, causing injury to his arm.
He was transported by ambulance to a hospital.
Park officials say the matter is under investigation, but language in the news release suggests the man was too close to the bison.
How many lives do European coal plants have? Nobody knows. But by now, most of the world understands that Europe’s reliance on coal is no longer deniable. In a time of global energy instability featuring an embargo on Russian energy, the EU’s wealthiest nations have embraced coal as a savior like the Peanuts character Linus grasping his blanket.
Germany, Austria, and the Netherlands are planning to utilize their coal plants to make up for a shortage in power from gas plants. Although many gas drilling projects have been resurrected around Europe, electricity from gas plants is set to decrease due to the Russian ban.
World War II Medal of Honor recipient Herschel Woodrow Williams has entered the hospital, and his family is requesting prayers "as he lives out his last days."
Williams, 98, is the last surviving World War II veteran to have received the Medal of Honor. Williams received the award for his heroism during the battle of Iwo Jima in 1945. Williams' family is at his side in a West Virginia hospital, according to local media.
"At this time, Woody is not accepting visitors and his family appreciates everyone respecting his privacy. As he lives out his last days, we welcome and appreciate any additional prayers lifted up on behalf of Woody
Atty. Gen. Rob Bonta has advised California law enforcement agencies that the “good cause” requirement for issuing a concealed weapons permit is likely unconstitutional and should no longer be used.
The advice came in a legal alert on Friday to “all California district attorneys, police chiefs, sheriffs, county counsels and city attorneys” and follows a U.S. Supreme Court decision on Thursday overturning New York State’s “proper cause” requirement.
“It is the Attorney General’s view that the court’s decision renders California’s good

Believe it or not, overturning Roe v. Wade may not be the Supreme Court’s most dramatic decision this year. Instead, its ruling on West Virginia v. the Environmental Protection Agency could prove far more consequential. It could literally upend how our government works.
For the better.
West Virginia vs. the EPA asks whether important policies that impact the lives of all Americans should be made by unelected D.C. bureaucrats or by Congress. This SCOTUS could well decide that ruling by executive agency fiat is no longer acceptable. [snip] it may decide in West Virginia vs. EPA that Congress, and not federal agencies, should write our laws.
In the wake of the Supreme Court's decision overturning Roe v. Wade and Casey v. Planned Parenthood, the corporate and entertainment world have joined the pro-abortion chorus in denouncing the decision, the Court, and the pro-life movement. Their reaction has been swift and predictable.
The Hollywood crowd wasted no time screeching on social media, according to Newsweek. Bette Midler wrote about the Court: "They did it. THEY DID IT TO US. ... How dare they?" She called a woman who suggested adoption as an alternative to abortion "some b---- on TV" and warned gays, "You're next." Actor Samuel L. Jackson called Justice Thomas "Uncle Clarence."
The Supreme Court on Thursday declared that the US Constitution protected an individual's right to carry a gun outside the home for self-defense purposes
[snip]
In an opinion delivered by Justice Clarence Thomas, the court's conservative majority supported the view that New York's rule violated the Constitution.
"We know of no other constitutional right that an individual may exercise only after demonstrating to government officers some special need," Thomas wrote. "That is not how the First Amendment works when it comes to unpopular speech or the free exercise of religion. It is not how the Sixth Amendment works when it comes to a defendant's right to confront the witnesses against him.
The case brought by the New York State Rifle and Pistol Association before the Supreme Court presents the following, limited issue: “Whether the State’s denial of petitioners’ applications for concealed-carry licenses for self-defense violated the Second Amendment.” That’s a pretty tight question. Basically, it asks if New York has the right to deny a concealed carry permit to an otherwise law-abiding citizen. We already know (District of Columbia v. Heller) that carrying a weapon is a right, not a privilege. That would seem to make this an open-and-shut case. Yet, the Court has taken six full months to rule on a case

Police arrested Robert ‘Bobby’ Crimo III’, age 22, yesterday following the shooting in Highland Park, Illinois. (snip)
On Tuesday The Gateway Pundit uncovered information indicating Crimo is a radical progressive with ties to Antifa, progressive groups, and the occult. (snip) Now we have information tying Crimo to progressives, socialists, Antifa and the occult. Crimo’s social network and lifestyle are all related to the progressive movement.
Crimo has ties to the Democratic Socialists of America as noted by the tattoo on his neck. This is the largest and fastest-growing socialist organization in the US.
(snip)
His social media posts appear as if he wants to kill President 47.
The uncle of Robert “Bobby” Crimo III — the person of interest in Highland Park’s 4th of July parade mass shooting — said there were no signals that his 22-year-old nephew would carry out such carnage.
“There were no signs that I saw that would make him do this,” Paul Crimo told CNN in a Monday night interview after his nephew was taken into custody in connection to the shooting.
Robert Crimo was described as a recluse by his uncle and others who knew him, including neighbors and former classmates.
Police said at a press conference announcing the arrest it is believed Robert Crimo was responsible for the hail of bullets
Former Democratic National Committee chairman Howard Dean said Tuesday on MSNBC’s “The Beat” that Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) was a “fascist.”
According to Dean, that made him “much scarier” than former President Donald Trump as a potential 2024 Republican presidential nominee. Guest host Jason Johnson, “You now have some Republicans who are saying, hey, look. Maybe Donald Trump shouldn’t run again. Maybe it will be a problem. Maybe, you know, him running with all these allegations and all this violence associated with him, maybe it ends up being damaging with the party.” He asked, “Do you think any of these potential allegations could influence when he will make an announcement? Or
Yesterday on July 4, Atlantic magazine published an op-ed by Senator Mitt Romney titled "America Is in Denial."
Romney began by claiming that Americans tend to be divorced from reality.
He cited examples of water being wasted on lawns and golf courses despite reservoirs drying up, and progressive politicians voting to increase government spending despite inflation and growing national debt.
After the inane generalities, Romney began inching toward his real target: Donald Trump.
Last Thursday, the Supreme Court officially ended its term after releasing final opinions on a number of cases.
But the Supreme Court still hasn't revealed who leaked the draft opinion of Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization at the beginning of May. “It’s been 63 days since the draft Dobbs opinion leaked, and the Supreme Court leaker has still not been identified.”
It’s a fairly common phenomenon, though we normally see it with adolescents and teenagers. They bite the hand that feeds them, then come back with their tails between their legs pleading for help.

A Washington state school board director who owns a sex shop is making headlines after announcing she will teach sex education classes for children as young as nine on topics such as "sexual anatomy for pleasure" and "safer sex practices for all kinds of sexual activities."
"The class for nine- to 12-year-olds is an introduction to topics related to relationships, puberty, bodies, and sexuality.
The man suspected of killing six people and wounding more than a dozen others during a July 4th parade in Highland Park is a Donald Trump-supporting rapper with a seemingly-successful music career.
Robert 'Bobby' Crimo III, 22, goes by the moniker, Awake the Rapper, in his music career. According to his Spotify page, he boasts more than 16,000 listeners per month and has a net worth of $100,000.
The rap career has taken on a chilling relevance in the wake of the shooting.
Music videos posted by Crimo online last fall include a drawing of himself shooting people online, and a disturbing clip of himself throwing bullets
The White House is pushing back against her coach's claim that WNBA player Brittney Griner would be released now from her detainment in Russia if she were a straight man. Asked whether Griner—who is Black, gay and female—is facing a double standard, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre suggested Tuesday that such arguments go against President Joe Biden's many efforts on behalf of minority communities. "This is a president who has put all of the things that you just laid out—the LGBTQ community, women, people of color—he has fought for those communities throughout his career, and
Brace Yourself for the Biden Housing Bust
28 replies
For many readers, the above title will conjure up memories of the 2008 housing crash caused by the proliferation of subprime mortgages and the subsequent tsunami of defaults. But a better corollary for the coming Biden bust is the Carter crash that occurred three decades earlier. During the final two years of Carter’s term, sales of existing and new homes collapsed because the Fed was forced to raise interest rates sharply to get double-digit inflation under control. This, in turn, produced double-digit mortgage rates that priced millions of potential buyers out of the market.
Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney (D) reacted to gun violence in his city by suggesting Tuesday morning that only the police should have guns.
FOX News reports that Kenney spoke to reporters after two Philadelphia police officers were wounded by gunshots on July 4.
McKinney reflected on July 4, saying, “It was a chilled back day, beautiful weather. But we live in America where we have the Second Amendment and we have the Supreme Court of the United States telling everybody they can carry a gun wherever they want.”
Kamala Harris on Tuesday made a ‘surprise’ visit to the scene of the Highland Park, Illinois mass shooting.
22-year-old Bobby Crimo shot 30 people, 7 fatally, at a Highland Park Fourth of July parade on Monday.
Crimo was known to law enforcement before Monday’s mass shooting.
The police were at Crimo’s residence twice – once for a suicide attempt and once to remove knives because of a murder threat to his family.

Surprise, leftist fools.....the "new century" is just like all the previous centuries. Bad people still exist, and evil dictators WILL kill you and your family and take your country....just because the WANT TO and think they can do it.
Just imagining that everyone will follow the rules of being nice people....doesn't mean anything. Some folks will cut your children's throats just because they LIKE IT.
