House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) on Monday posted photos on his social media accounts of the Capitol building draped with American flags for the Fourth of July — a stark contrast to images of the White House draped in a Progress Pride flag last month. McCarthy posted the photos along with the message: “God bless America!”The photos show five American flags flying above the Capitol’s east entrance.(Tweet/Photo) The images stand in stark contrast to those of the White House last month during “pride month.” The White House hung a Progress Pride flag between two American flags on its South Portico

A federal judge has enjoined the Biden administration from colluding with Big Tech to censor conservative ideas, and Democrats are mad.
According to the New York Times, “disinformation researchers” are worried that the ruling will make it harder for “civil society organizations” to police online speech. “That’s the really important distinction here,” University of California at Santa Barbara communications professor Miriam Metzger told the paper. “The government should be able to inform social media companies about things that they feel are harmful to the public.”
Apparently, when left-wing organizations try to police speech on their own, Big Tech companies don’t listen.
About 300 Californians moved to Texas each day in 2021 - a staggering 111,000 people, newly released data shows.
That is double the 63,000 that made the same move in 2012, according to a new report from Storage Café, which examined California-Texas migration patterns over nearly a decade.
Of those that moved in 2021, nearly half were millennials, born between 1981 and 1996, and headed to counties around major cities such as Austin, Houston and Dallas. The study found Californians were lured from their state by a number of factors, including cheaper housing, lower taxes and booming work opportunities
Target has reportedly informed conservative radio host and litigator Mark Levin, via his publisher, that it will not carry his new book, The Democrat Party Hates America, for fear of offending Democrats who shop there.
Levin, whose previous books have been New York Times bestsellers, made the revelation on Twitter yesterday: (Tweet) Target’s stance on Levin’s book contrasts with the chain store’s approach to controversial transgender-themed clothing, which it rolled out ahead of Pride Month, and which prompted a nationwide backlash by customers.
Target eventually made adjustments to its “LGBTQ” inventory, as the Associated Press reported at the time:
President Joe Biden’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) allowed an illegal alien on the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s (FBI) “Terrorist Watch List” to board a domestic flight after releasing him into the United States, a federal probe reveals.
A report issued by DHS Inspector General (IG) Joseph Cuffari details how DHS, on April 19, 2022, released an illegal alien into the surrounding community near Blythe, California, after he first arrived at the U.S.-Mexico border near Yuma, Arizona, on April 17, 2022 as a result of multiple data sharing and communication failures internally at the agency.
San Diego opened its first of two 'safe-sleeping' areas in the border-city just weeks after the San Diego City Council voted to ban homeless encampments.
Democrat Mayor Todd Gloria announced the plan to open the areas in June as a way to combat the city's homeless crisis, which has been exacerbated by opioids.
San Diego has more than 2,000 individuals living on the streets and in 2019, the Department of Housing and Urban Development reported that the county had the fourth-highest homeless population in the country.
Press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre shut down a question Wednesday on whether President Joe Biden would now acknowledge four-year-old Navy Joan as his grandchild after son Hunter Biden settled his child support dispute.
DailyMail.com reported Friday that Hunter and Lunden Roberts, 32, came to an agreement on child support after the first son said he would play a role in his out-of-wedlock daughter's life.
That could open the door to meeting her grandfather, if the president was so inclined.'I don't have anything to share from here,' Jean-Pierre said at Wednesday's briefing, quickly moving on to the next reporter.
To mark the 50th anniversary of the all-volunteer force, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin traveled to Fort Meade, Maryland by Black Hawk helicopter on Wednesday to administer the military oath of office to 85 brave young men and women. 67 of these new recruits shipped out to basic training just hours after the ceremony, leaving for bases all across the country, including Parris Island, South Carolina and Fort Moore, Georgia. (Photo) "Fifty years ago this week, the United States stopped drafting citizens into service and turned instead to an all-volunteer force," Secretary Austin told the recruits.
US Customs and Border Protection is again expanding the number of migrants it allows into the US at the Mexico border via its CBP One mobile app.
The federal agency said it will now allow 1,450 migrants to book appointments each day via the app, which enables migrants to register asylum claims and enter the US.
Asylum seekers that show up at the border without having secured an appointment are subject to a 'common-sense condition' and will likely will be turned away.
Former President Donald Trump said the security tapes would “quickly” reveal who smuggled cocaine into President Joe Biden’s White House after the drug was reportedly found in the West Wing.
Over the weekend, a substance was found inside the White House that reportedly tested positive for cocaine.On Monday, U.S. Secret Service spokesman Steven Kopek confirmed an “ongoing investigation” into the matter, but did not confirm whether the substance contained cocaine. In response, Trump predicted the “Fake News Media” will downplay the substance’s finding.
President Joe Biden laughed and again ignored questions about the cocaine found at the White House - as the administration tried to distance the first family and staff from the shocking discovery by suggesting it was a visitor.
Biden sat and watched reporters as they tried and failed to get his response to the drug scandal while he was in the Oval Office with Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson on Wednesday.
Press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre implied in her daily briefing that a member of the public left the Schedule A substance in a 'heavily-traveled area' of the West Wing -
A huge win for freedom of speech!
The State Department canceled its future meetings with Facebook just one day after US District Court Judge Terry Doughty, a Trump appointee who still honors the US Constitution, accused the Biden Regime of violating the First Amendment by censoring unfavorable views in a blistering 155-page opinion.
A Trump-appointed federal judge on Tuesday issued a preliminary injunction prohibiting DHS, FBI, DOJ, and other agencies from its government-wide, fascist conspiracy with Big Tech to censor speech and manipulate the public.
Furious ice cream fans are promising to boycott the iconic Ben & Jerry's brand, accusing the company of 'going woke' following a July 4th tweet in which it said that it was 'committed' to returning 'stolen' lands to indigenous peoples.
The brand, which was founded by longtime Bernie Sanders allies Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenwood but has since been sold to British multinational Unilever, tweeted the message to its 494,000 followers.
'This 4th of July, it's high time we recognize that the US exists on stolen Indigenous land and commit to returning it,' the company's official account wrote before suggesting Mount Rushmore should be handed back to its original owners.

Depending on your point of view, the Supreme Court’s Friday decision in 303 Creative v. Elenis was either a great moment in American jurisprudence or a day that will live in infamy. There are accusations floating around the MSM that a piece of evidence referenced by each side was falsified. Alongside that story, there are whispers of attorneys being disbarred over the matter. That didn’t take long, did it? But even before that, leftists were quick to stand up in outrage and state that the ruling gave them the right to refuse service to conservatives, notably Trump supporters. CBS reported that Michael Imperioli, who is known for his roles
The Secret Service is going to review security footage to find out when the dime-sized bag of cocaine was placed into a cubby in a highly-trafficked area in the West Wing.
Now we’re talking.
CNN reported: Mike Memoli: It’s absolutely extraordinary, Andrea. And this new conclusive test confirms what had been the preliminary field test conducted by DC. Fire personnel who were called in on Sunday night after the discovery of this suspicious substance by a uniformed officer in the Secret Service that was conducting a routine patrol of the White House…
…This was found, we understand, in a highly trafficked common area of the West Wing…
Last week, Michelle Obama, the politician, issued a formal position statement on Twitter regarding the Supreme Court decision to eliminate affirmative action in higher education. In doing so, Michelle not only revealed her political ambition, which I believe includes the Democratic nomination for president in 2024, but also the likelihood that she herself was an affirmative action student at Princeton University in 1981. (snip) [She] is an obvious beneficiary of racial preferences who feels obliged to deny her privilege and to denounce the very system that bestowed those privileges as racist.

Believe it or not, people are reluctant to tell total strangers about their potentially controversial activities. In particular, Rutgers University researchers say, gun ownership is something many Americans decline to reveal when questioned by people they don't know. That's especially true of women and minorities newly among the ranks of gun owners amidst the chaos of recent years. Academics are unhappy that privacy-minded respondents impair their understanding of the world we live in, but such evasion is an inevitable consequence of decades of fiery debate and punitive gun policies.
The situation in France calmed Tuesday night, on the 8th night of unrest since the officer-involved death of 17-year-old driver Nahel, with only 16 arrests, including 7 in the Paris region. There were 116 fires on public roads, 78 vehicles burned and 8 buildings set on fire. 1,243 people have been indicted since June 30. Bus and tram service was restored, which had been suspended since Friday. Police arrested three men with 300 kilos of fireworks in Paris.
There have been 1,000 buildings burnt, 5,600 vehicles destroyed, and 3,300 arrests since last week in France. According to a survey for BFMTV on Tuesday, July 4, 89% of respondents condemn
Former Mayor Bill de Blasio and wife Chirlane McCray announced Wednesday that they are splitting after 29 years of marriage — so that they can date other people without living apart or getting divorced.
“I just want to have fun,” McCray — who was living as a lesbian when they met — told the New York Times in a joint interview announcing the split.The couple claimed that the decision came during a heart-to-heart at home about two months ago in which they discussed why they were not “lovey-dovey anymore.”
Shouldn't it be a huge national story that a big city like LA has had a record stretch where it didn't hit 80 degrees in 60 days in May and June? After all, the media always warns us that the earth is getting dangerously warmer? We are told constantly that there are too many people, and that causes warming, so isn’t it amazing that the population of LA County in 1880 was around 33,000 and today it is over 10 million? How is it possible that the population is 300 times higher, yet the temperature is lower than at any time in 145 years.

As America celebrated its independence, while divided on the true nature of its values, it also braced for a toxic presidential campaign likely to deepen its political trauma and again push the election system to its limits.
Donald Trump, for example, put on a July Fourth weekend show of force, highlighting his early dominance of the Republican race for president and the stiff task his rivals face in trying to thwart his bid to win their party’s nomination for the third time in a row.
Do Americans Still Trust Our Elections?

Horror writer Stephen King, when not spewing far left argle-bargle (a word I learned long ago from reading one of his novels) on Twitter, may exhibit a bit of common sense.
He once said, “The trust of the innocent is the liar's most useful tool.”
Was he referring to those innocent souls who trusted Christine or Cujo? Or to innocent Americans who foolishly listen to the ruling class liars, believing in truth, justice, and the American way?
Do Americans still trust elections, whether local, state, or national?
In 16 months, America “elects” a president. I would say a new president, but the top two contenders,
There will always be an England, goes the saying. But will there? If what’s happening to former party leader and Brexit champion Nigel Farage is any indication, that charming old axiom may have reached its sell-by date.
In an editorial entitled “After my banking travails, I fear Britain is lost,” Farage tells a hair-raising tale of institutionalized political bigotry and discrimination. It combines the kind of systemic abuse once associated with Soviet rule but now sadly common in the United States with the sort of social credit tyranny one sees in China.
