It's finally here -- the hottest month of summer, and also the point at which the days start to become noticeably shorter. By the end of the month, there'll be a chill in the air in some places, with the leaves changing color in northern extremes of the continental U.S....
...and the presidential race will be well under way. Thanks to the Biden Administration, it will be the first-ever election in which a major presidential candidate will be targeted by prosecutors -- not for any actual crimes, but for political views and process infractions.
The judge in the case, Tanya Chutkin, is a die-hard leftist who thinks an "insurrection" happened on January 6. She is entertaining a crazy gag order from Special Counsel Jack Smith, who is using a "Truth" post from Trump as a pretext to turn off his political megaphone.
We haven't seen anything like this. So it's scary. On the other hand... the U.S. national women's soccer team crashed out of the World Cup. We're not supposed to be glad about that -- and I hate to see the U.S. lose at anything -- but Megan Rapinoe is partly to blame, so...
Meanwhile, the Devon Archer testimony confirms everything that Trump claimed in 2019 about the Bidens. Had he been allowed to testify at the impeachment inquiry, Trump may never have been impeached and Biden may never have been president. We'll discuss.
Special guests:
Emma-Jo Morris - Breitbart News political editor, on Hunter Biden
Dylan Gwinn - Breitbart News sports editor, on Rapinoe and the NFL
Alan Dershowitz -- noted legal scholar, on Jack Smith's misconduct

The story of Noah is familiar; the details, less so.
Noah is often seen as an ambivalent figure. He was righteous -- but only for his generation. What was his deficiency?
One answer suggests itself: knowing that the world was about to be flooded, he built an Ark for the animals and for his own family -- but did not try to save anyone else or to convince them to repent and change their ways (the prophet Jonah, later, would share that reluctance).
Abraham, later, would set himself apart by arguing with God -- with the Lord Himself! -- against the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, saying that they should be saved if there were enough righteous people to be found (there were not).
Still, Noah was good enough -- and sometimes, that really is sufficient to save the world. We don't need heroes every time -- just ordinary decency.
Hi all -- as I noted last month, I'm going to be closing down my Locals page, at least for tips and subscriptions -- I may keep the page up and the posts as well, but I'm no longer going to be accepting any kind of payment.
Look for cancelation in the very near future. Thank you for your support!
An interesting weekend -- one of the last of Daylight Savings Time -- in which there is much to celebrate, much to contemplate, and a bit to worry about.
The Gaza peace deal is shaky, but holding, after the living hostages returned; the shutdown is still going on, with no end in sight; the China trade war is heating up; and the confrontation with Venezuela continues to escalate.
The "No Kings" protest was a dud, despite the media's attempt to inflate it. What I find fascinating is that the Democrats have basically stolen the rhetoric and the imagery of the Tea Party protests, circa 2009. They claim they are defending the Constitution -- just like the Tea Party did.
On the one hand, this is good. How wonderful to have a political system in which both sides, bitterly opposed though they are, articulate differences through the Constitution -- and not, as in so many other countries, outside it.
On the other, this is sheer hypocrisy for the Democrats. Not only did they malign the Tea Party as ...
