Her happy, final summer in the Balmoral
refuge that brimmed with thoughts of Prince

The Queen's last summer was one of her happiest of recent years, entertaining a string of family and friends at Balmoral. Her Highland estate – every purple-hued sprig brimming with memories of her beloved Philip – had been a huge source of comfort after the most difficult of times. One source with close links to the Royal Household told me recently that she had not been suffering from any chronic condition. Another said: 'She's lost a lot of weight and has been feeling all the aches and pains that a 96-year-old woman would be expected to feel

My father told me that she read every piece of legislation that the government was going to pass. I liked her and I'm not a royalist - heck, we fought for our independence from the Brits. But she was there through thick and thin and a great ally.

The Queen lived to see her 70th year on the throne, a pleasant summer that she loved, then a new Prime Minister. With a bleak winter coming, perhaps there was not much more to live for. May she rest in peace.

Queen Elizabeth was a wonderful Queen. Even served in the military when she was 18, and totally dedicated to the best for her country and people all her life. I remember when she became Queen in Feb, 1952. No comparison between her and the ignorant dirt bags who are currently running our country today.

I think it was a blessing she was able to be where she had her happiest memories of Philip and their family life when she passed. Being half Scots on her late mother's side, she loved Balmoral and their yearly summer vacation. I am American and glad to not be a colony of Britain's, but I count myself an Anglophile and a full on admirer of HMQEII. She was a last tie to a better time in our world. A time when vows were taken seriously, not like her flighty son who had his fingers crossed when he married Diana. RIP your majesty, you are with your beloved Philip now. God's peace to your grieving family.

She was so blessed to have relatively great health up unto the end and to die in such a lovely and sentimental place. I am glad she made a peaceful end and she can count as joy that she is much loved by the good people of this Earth, a legacy anyone should be proud of.

My father in law got up unaided from his chair, greeted me as I entered his home, and we stood in the kitchen and chatted for about 45 minutes, still sharp as a tack at 96. Later that same day, he fell, broke an arm, and the next day was unable to get up, stand unassisted or take steps longer than 1", and he was dead soon after. At that age, even those in 'good health' have no reserves, zero margin for any, even seemingly minor, mishaps. It sounds like she had a wonderful last summer. May God bless this lady.

I am a strong Anglophile even though my ancestors left to come to America in search of religious freedom in the Catholic colony of Maryland. But times change and unlike so many progs, I hold no grudges or hatred for times past. I had nothing but admiration for Queen Elizabeth and her steadfast devotion to duty. May God bless her.

She was dutiful to the end. She met the new Prime Minister on Tuesday and passed away on Thursday. She was an inspiration! She was also a woman of deep faith. I have not heard much about that in the tributes.

Losing her husband of 60+ years even for a queen is a lot to take. Her health started to go downhill right then and there. I've seen it so many times with couples who have been together for 50 years or more. When one goes, the other just doesn't have the energy to carry on and passes away within a couple of years. My grandfather passed away three months after my grandmother died. They were married for 56 years. Grandpop just didn't know what to do without grandmom. I remember my mother and my aunts and uncles spending nights with my grandfather just to keep him company. He died in his sleep of what my mom said was a broken heart.

I got hooked on the British royal family in high school courtesy of Diana. What a story that was! I’ve always loved British history and Brit Lit. I had my DNA tested recently (I was adopted) and found out through newly minted cousins many amazing British connections. A relative was knighted on the battlefield by Richard III (he was part of his court) and I am also related to Geoffrey Chaucer. Thrilling information to me! Anyway, I always admired Her Majesty and I am very sad to see her go, may she rest in peace. I think she did her best, upheld her oath and loved her people.

To no one’s surprise, Alyssa Farah, Mike Pence’s former press secretary, is the newest panelist on “The View.” Farah replaces Meghan McCain, who quit the show last year after suffering from postpartum depression and nonstop bullying by her leftist co-hosts, she claimed. Farah, however, will pick up where McCain left off: using her voice as the only alleged “conservative” to bash Donald Trump and his supporters. She’s been auditioning for the role on the daily talk show ever since she left the White House in late 2020, following a well-trodden path that promises fame and fortune to Trump associates who turn on their former boss.

Despite Gorsuch’s words, Supreme Court

Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch did well to lift the veil, ever so slightly, on the investigation into who leaked the court’s controversial draft decision in the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization abortion case. Still, the court hasn’t hit the mark in terms of what the proper balance is between confidentiality and transparency about its inner workings. The breach of trust occasioned by the leak was serious because the court’s internal deliberations on cases before it really do merit confidentiality. The status of the investigation, however, merits far more transparency than it has received,

It wasn’t just the DOJ and its attempts to boost Biden by raiding Trump that Hannity discussed on his show yesterday, though he did a good job discussing that with Trump’s lawyer. He also had on Sen. Josh Hawley, who ripped into Biden for wielding law enforcement like a political club and attempting to intimidate the political opposition with it. Speaking on that, Hawley used examples of the criminal chaos spreading around the country to show that Team Biden and the other leftist hacks running things care not about law and order, but rather just about using LEOs to enforce their political agenda and wield power.

Amid the personal family tragedy on Thursday, a small domestic drama was playing out. Unsurprisingly, it involved the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. It was a fortunate coincidence of sorts that Harry and Meghan were in the country when the prince's grandmother passed away, sparing him an emotional and undoubtedly traumatic transatlantic dash as the Queen's health failed. Despite the rancour of the past few years, no one would begrudge him the chance to mourn his beloved 'Granny', with whom he had always enjoyed a warm and fun-loving relationship. But as the royal households were consumed in concern for the ailing monarch, the Sussexes prompted an unprecedented flurry behind the scenes

Joe Manchin cast the deciding vote for the so-called Inflation Reduction Act, and it may end up costing him his political career if a new poll is to be believed. Manchin, who had originally pledged not to sign on to any new spending bill during the country’s current inflationary boom, suddenly switched his position at the end of July. The bill he negotiated, which cost nearly a trillion dollars, was full of wasteful green energy subsidies and payouts to special interests. It also represented a stabbing in the back of Republican senators who had trusted him to keep his word about reconciliation after voting for the CHIPS Act.

Because most people don’t know a farmer personally anymore, everyone should realize that they don’t make piles of money producing our food. A good year can be followed by three bad ones, and 2022 has been a burden. Between record heat waves in the U.S. and abroad, droughts in the middle of the country, fertilizer shortages, and rising costs for just about every farm input, many American farms are on the brink. Everyone will feel the pinch in continued food price increases and shortages at the store. As bad as the agricultural outlook is in America, it is far worse in Europe.
