Has the ‘Revolution’ Already Passed

The song “Right Here, Right Now” by Jesus Jones opens with the line, “A woman on the radio talks about revolution, when it's already passed her by.” There are some people who peaked in high school and never got over it – never changing their hair or general style from when they were at the pinnacle of popularity. It’s sad, really, not that the person seems frozen in the midst of good memories from long ago, but that they haven’t continued to advance since then. Life has lapped them; passed them by and left them in the dust. In many ways, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is like that person who hasn’t

Highmore, South Dakota, population 647 according to the 2024 census, looks like the classic, tiny American farming community. There are all of two notable facts in the Wiki entry for the wee burg - one is that it was named for its 'lofty altitude.' No further explanation for that is available other than a footnote referencing a 1908 railway guide. And that there's been a local post office in operation since 1882. Hardy souls those early folks in the high plains.
Had to be tough.
And I'm pretty sure it still is if the town has remained at its close-knit size. As of early yesterday morning, Highmore is going to have
On one hand, it's been somewhat amusing to watch the House Democrats who are trying so hard to distance themselves from the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) Party members who won their House primary races in New York last week, and the ones whose political futures will soon be decided in states like Colorado and Michigan.
I mean, when you look at the batcrap crazy things some of them, like newly minted NY-13 Democrat nominee Darializa Avila Chevalier, have said and done over the years, one could almost understand why the purportedly "moderate" House Democrats who have signed on to a "Promise to America" letter
President Donald Trump said on Sunday that work will begin Sept. 1 on the public East Potomac Golf Course despite a federal judge's warning of "serious consequences" if the administration begins major work without getting approval and notifying the court in advance.
Trump took a tour of some of the projects he has commissioned or plans to on a rainy Sunday morning.
The president's motorcade swung by Lafayette Park near the White House and around Memorial Circle in front of Arlington National Cemetery, where he plans to build his 250-foot-high triumphal arch, and by the Kennedy Center, to which he had added his name before a judge ordered it removed.
Just as his party is overrun by Communist revolutionaries, former President Barack Obama has decided to take center stage in a frenetic public relations campaign, ostensibly to promote his so-called library.
He’s here, there and everywhere, silkily opining about everything under the sun, except the only thing that matters: the disintegration of his party. Like Nero playing the fiddle while Rome burned, Obama is curiously detached from the disaster he helped create.
Democrats desperately need a leader to rally around, but all they have is Obama.
He is the only former Democratic president who is still sharp, charismatic and dynamic enough to take up the mantle. Former President Bill Clinton,
This is the age of the YOLO candidate. Are you a terrible person with a clear record of awfulness? You would be perfect for the U.S. Senate! Democrats have found just that sort of guy in Maine; Republicans have found one in Texas. Both would be perfect additions to the large and growing cast of bloviators, morons, and preening hacks that constitute what was once known as the world’s most deliberative body. Both sides justify these candidates along similar lines: “[Institution or policy] has failed [interest or faction that sees its demands as indistinguishable from the national interest]. Our only response is to elect [person of bad character
So my site access has been restored but my WiFi access continues to be spotty as my ocean-going continues, but it did prompt the first graphic in this week’s gallery by the producers of the Ricochet podcast, where I ended up being a mostly silent spectator this week between 10-second bursts of connection, which was about all I needed for my very few five-second bursts of lucidity.
Meanwhile, I still haven’t been able to restore my old hijacked Twitter account, so I have launched a new one: @RealStevenHayward. Follow if you’re into the whole social media thing. I think I’ll be more like that RealOtherGuy and do more polemic entries than
A Utah judge in the case against the man accused of killing Charlie Kirk ruled Friday to hold a prosecutor in civil contempt for violating a pretrial publicity order but opted to leave the death penalty in place as a possible outcome in the murder trial.
The defense’s contempt motion stemmed from comments prosecutor Christopher Ballard, also a spokesperson for the Utah County Attorney’s Office, made to media outlets this spring about an inconclusive ballistics report mentioned in a defense filing.
While trying to clarify the results of the report to reporters, Ballard also referenced the strength of the state’s case against Tyler Robinson – statements the judge on Friday
Air Conditioning? It’s Illegal!

Britain is in even worse shape than I thought. From the Telegraph: “Air conditioning torn from homes under net zero clampdown.”
Homeowners are being forced to tear out air conditioning from their private properties under climate laws, despite rising temperatures.
Council planning officers ordered residents to remove air-con units over fears they produce too much carbon dioxide, stating they should only be used as a “last resort”.
The net zero clampdown is part of building regulations that state “active cooling” should only ever be allowed when all other means of “passive cooling”, such as opening windows or using fans, have been exhausted.
So whether you can air condition your home
On Thursday afternoon, court reporters who had been following the trial of Palisades Fire suspect Jonathan Rinderknecht were buzzing on social media with news that the jury in the case had reached a verdict.
Brittny Mejia, the Metro reporter for the Los Angeles Times, was one of several journalists who initially wrote that a verdict had been reached. Later, however, it was shared that the jury had indicated they were "at a standstill": (X) The note also stressed that each side in the jury room was "deadset." Mejia revealed in a follow-up tweet that it appeared the judge was going to send a note
The company formerly known as Dominion Voting Systems is ending a $1.3 billion defamation lawsuit against Mike Lindell, the MyPillow magnate and President Trump ally who has promoted false claims that the 2020 election was stolen.
Dominion sued the businessman in 2021, alleging that Lindell knew there was no evidence to support his election conspiracy theories, but used the lies to sell pillows. When he was sued, Lindell told WCCO's Esme Murphy that he was "very happy" about the lawsuit, saying the truth would come out.
In October 2025, Dominion was acquired by St. Louis-based Liberty Vote, which was founded by former Republican elections director Scott Leiendecker.
The U.S. Supreme Court voted 6–3 on June 25 to strike down a Hawaii gun law that banned residents from carrying concealed weapons in privately owned public places, such as gas stations and shopping malls.
The majority opinion in Wolford v. Lopez was authored by Justice Samuel Alito.
Justices Elena Kagan, Ketanji Brown Jackson, and Sonia Sotomayor dissented in the case, which was closely watched by gun rights advocates.
Alito said the Second Amendment “has the same meaning in all parts of the United States.”
“It cannot give way to ‘the spirit of Aloha’ in Hawaii … any more than it can yield to the spirit of the Big Apple …

The Supreme Court (SCOTUS) ruled that state laws allowing for the counting of mail-in ballots after election day are not in violation of federal law, a blow to the Republican National Committee and President Donald Trump’s administration.
On Monday, SCOTUS issued a 5-4 ruling that permits states to count mail-in ballots — sent on or before election day — that are received by state election officials after election day.
Justice Amy Coney Barrett wrote the majority’s opinion, joined by Chief Justice John Roberts as well as Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, and Ketanji Brown Jackson.
Monday’s bombshell Supreme Court ruling established that “election day” isn’t really election day at all; it’s a period of time. Specifically, the court decided 5-4 in Watson v. RNC that states could count mail-in ballots even if they were received after the election date, as long as they were postmarked in time. Naturally, many conservatives, including President Trump, were deeply disappointed by the decision, which to many seemed to defy common sense and the notion of election integrity. California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) and his ilk were almost certainly cheering; after all, they still haven’t certified the governor’s primary, which was held on June 2.
A clown show.
A Paris politician blamed Americans and US air conditioning for the record-breaking heatwave in Europe that has resulted in more than 1,300 excess deaths.
After US tourists mocked France over the lack of air conditioning across the country amid 104 degree temperatures, Audrey Pulvar, deputy mayor of Paris for international relations, claimed the situation was partly America’s fault. “Dear American journalists and social media ‘influencers’: for days, some of you have been criticizing and making fun of Paris because the city does not have A/C in every room…OMG, this is so rich!” Pulvar wrote on social media.

Carroll’s $5M sex abuse, defamation
verdict vs. Trump 19 replies
The Supreme Court on Monday declined to take up President Trump’s appeal of the $5 million sexual abuse and defamation verdict that followed a lawsuit by former advice columnist E. Jean Carroll.
Now Trump will have no choice but to pony up the $5 million to the 82-year-old, who has repeatedly claimed that the president sexually assaulted her in a Bergdorf Goodman fitting room during the mid-1990s.
Trump’s lawyers argued that, as president, he should not be distracted from his executive duties in order to deal with “decades-old, false allegations.”

Rep. Ro Khanna (D., Calif.) has emerged as a potential contender for the Democratic presidential nomination while denouncing the ultra-rich who "hoard wealth and engage in financial speculation." But the progressive, Silicon Valley congressman and his family live a life of staggering luxury, fueled by dynastic wealth they did not earn and protected by the same thicket of trusts, anonymous corporations, and foundations that Khanna condemns.
Khanna lives in a $6 million, 8,000-square-foot luxury home with a four-story elevator and so much premium marble that even the two laundry rooms have marble counters. The Northwest Washington, D.C., home is now for sale, as the Khanna family prepares to move to
We're headed into the dog days of summer, so it's not surprising that the topic of air conditioning is on the minds of many Americans these days. A heatwave has been pummeling much of Europe for the past week, and the East Coast of the United States is about to be placed firmly under a "heat dome," with temperatures expected to climb into the 100s later this week in Virginia and North Carolina. Our ACs will be humming, to be sure, along with the usual warnings of possible "rolling brownouts" to keep the power grids operational during the surge in usage.

after weekend of military skirmishes,

The United States and Iran will reportedly "stand down for now” after a weekend of military skirmishes in the Strait of Hormuz, and both sides will try to reboot peace talks in Qatar this week.
Officials told multiple news outlets, including Axios, CNN and Fox News, that there was an easing of tensions after several days of exchanging fire near the Strait.
“Technical talks are slated to continue on all areas of the MOU. Both sides will stand down for now and vessels can move freely," the White House told Fox News.
Axios reported that the two sides will resume talks in Doha on Tuesday.
WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court on Tuesday blocked President Donald Trump’s contentious attempt to limit citizenship at birth for those born on U.S. soil, delivering a major blow to his agenda. The court, divided 6-3, ruled that the executive order Trump issued Jan. 20, 2025, the first day of his second term, was unlawful. Five justices said the order fell foul of the Constitution’s 14th Amendment, which has long been interpreted to bestow birthright citizenship on almost anyone born in the United States.
The Supreme Court announced its final opinions of the term today, covering some of the most high-profile issues of the term.
BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP: The court rejected President Donald Trump's executive order ending citizenship at birth for people born on U.S. soil. The court ruled that the executive order ran foul of the Constitution’s 14th Amendment, which has long been interpreted to bestow birthright citizenship on almost anyone born in the United States.
TRANSGENDER ATHLETES: The high court, in a ruling that combined two cases, upheld state laws that ban transgender athletes from participating in girls’ and women’s sports. Two student athletes in West Virginia and Idaho sued to overturn the bans.
For the last decade, legacy news outlets have produced endless handwringing over the rise of President Trump and “MAGA-aligned” Republicans. And what some have called a “hostile takeover” of the Republican Party has indeed been a problem, arguably turning the party into a personality cult. But at least it has been acknowledged. The radical progressive and socialist takeover of the Democratic Party poses an equal, if not greater, problem. But one would hardly know it, given our media’s selective sense of urgency. The last three years have seen a flurry of activity both inside and outside the political space, suggesting
Congressional conservatives are slamming the Supreme Court of the United States after it ruled to strike down a request from the president to redefine birthright citizenship.
The 6-3 decision comes after President Donald Trump’s administration argued that the birthright citizenship clause of the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution applied to descendants of slaves in the 1800s, and not to the chain migration the United States has been subject to in recent decades.
Chief Justice John Roberts delivered the opinion of the Court, joined by Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, Amy Coney Barrett, and Ketanji Brown Jackson. Brett Kavanaugh concurs in part in the judgment and dissents in part.
