'Burn this country to the godd--- ground'
MSNBC contributor Dean Obeidallah complained that the Supreme Court ruined his holiday. He tweeted, "How can our nation celebrate ‘Independence Day’ when the GOP Supreme ‘Court’ just stripped women of the right to personal freedom?!"
In an earlier tweet, Obeidallah quoted famous abolitionist Frederick Douglass to convey his current disgust with America. He wrote, "Fredrick Douglass on July 4, 1852: ‘Your celebration is a sham; your boasted liberty, an unholy license; your national greatness, swelling vanity; your sounds of rejoicing are empty and heartless...your shouts of liberty and equality, hollow mockery.’"
On Friday, liberal author Don Winslow wrote, "Today is the anniversary of the Civil Rights Act and Monday is July 4th. And yet here we are in 2022 without basic civil and human rights or independence and fundamental freedoms for women."
"Don’t think I can turn my thoughts to July 4 without my brain jumping to January 6," wrote Business author and Twitter lefty Tom Peters.
TV personality Brandi Glanville tweeted, "I’m not celebrating Independence Day because I don’t like I live in a free country anymore."

Chemical Shortages Affecting U.S. Farms Described as ‘Off the Charts”
A disturbing report by Reuters, featuring interviews with more than a dozen chemical dealers, manufacturers, farmers, and weed specialists, indicates chemical shortages have disrupted U.S. growers’ production strategies and points to reduced harvests this season.
The level of shortages of farm-essential chemicals (e.g., fertilizer, weed-killer) is being described as “off the charts.”
Another farmer shares his experiences, demonstrating the level of science and forethought in planting fields. It also highlights another component of challenges to farms, which will end up contributing to inflation (and potential food scarcity): EPA over-regulation.
Biden told reporters on Thursday that US drivers would have to shell out the big bucks for “as long as it takes” for Ukraine to defeat Russia’s invasion.
National Economic Council director Brian Deese, also on Thursday, said Americans would have to endure pain at the pump indefinitely in the name of the “liberal world order.”
“What you heard from the president today was a clear articulation of the stakes,” Deese said during an appearance on CNN when asked about families who can’t afford the high costs per-gallon. “This is about the future of the liberal world order and we have to stand firm.
“But at the same time, what I’d say to that family and to Americans across the country is you have a president, an administration that is going to do everything in its power to blunt those price increases and bring those prices down,” Deese added.
The exchange with Bezos wasn’t the first time Biden and an outspoken American billionaire engaged in a war of words.
In early June, it was revealed that billionaire Elon Musk has such a “super bad feeling” about the US economy under Biden that he planned to lay off about 10% of the workers at Tesla, his electric car company.
Biden reacted to Musk’s view by taking a shot at the businessman and his company SpaceX.
“Lots of luck on his trip to the moon,” Biden said.
That prompted Musk to fire back on Twitter with a link to a 2021 NASA press release about SpaceX winning a $2.89 billion contract to send the next American astronauts to the moon.

Jeff Bezos blasts Biden for blaming gas companies for high pump prices
Jeff Bezos chastised President Biden Saturday for either either employing “misdirection” or displaying a “deep misunderstanding” of economic fundamentals.

Gallup conducts a poll testing support for these institutions annually. And its latest findings show that our faith in institutions is as low as it has ever been.
Of the 16 major institutions Gallup tested, 11 of them saw significant declines in support over the past year alone. Not one of those 16 posted an increase in trust between 2021 and today.
Trust in the presidency fell off of a cliff -- from 38% in 2021 to 23% this year. Trust in the Supreme Court dropped 11 percentage points, and that was BEFORE the court issued its rulings overturning Roe v. Wade and loosening gun restrictions.
Of the 14 institutions Gallup has been consistently polling on since 1973, the average of adults expressing a "great deal" or "quite a lot" of confidence in them is just 27%, the lowest it has ever been.
(In case you were wondering, only two groups have a majority of people expressing considerable confidence in them: Small business, 68%, and the military, 64%.)
And, these declines in trust in all 16 institutions are consistent across party lines. As Gallup notes, the average decline among Republicans this year was 4 points, while it was 5 points among Democrats and 6 points among independents.

GOP Sen. Thune Asks Biden for More Foreign Workers to Fill U.S. Jobs
Senate Minority Whip John Thune (R-SD) is joining Democrats in asking President Joe Biden for more legal immigration.
You know this wouldn't be a problem if they didn't have to compete with the feds. The govt. gives them so much to do nothing, you have to give them enough to cover that, then enough to break them loose from their natural complacency and then enough to convince them to uproot their lives and move to what amounts to a foreign land. With a foreign worker you don't have any of these issues, no one is paying them to stay home, only the non complacent want to come and everywhere here is a foreign land.Sinclair Broadcast Group reports:

‘I Don’t Understand’: Democrat Rep Rips Biden’s Oil Policy, Says Gas Prices Are ‘Front And Center’ Issue For Voters
Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) criticized his Party’s leader President Joe Biden Thursday for not doing enough on oil policy as Americans continue to pay close to $5 a gallon at the pump.
Khanna made an appearance on Fox News and said he “doesn’t understand” why the Biden administration has not banned oil exports to help lower the price of gas for Americans.
“I don’t understand why we aren’t having a ban on exports,” Khanna commented, adding, “I do think we have to be doing more. People in my district – they’re talking to me about gas prices, they’re talking to me about higher food prices, they’re talking to me about the airlines getting canceled. … Those are the issues front and center.”
Dems governors: Biden's in over his head, out of ideas, and out of time
Who says America can’t find its way to a national consensus? Republicans have considered Joe Biden intellectually bankrupt for decades. According to the latest complaints making their way to Politico, Democrat governors have just figured that out — and now worry that the clock’s about to run out on Biden and their midterm hopes:
I’d quibble with the idea that Biden is out of “fresh ideas.” Biden hasn’t had a fresh idea since the 1970s. Biden’s entire agenda is a rehash of the progressive wish list that’s percolated around Washington DC for at least two decades. His energy policies hearken back to the Carter era. Biden’s only a few months away from asking Americans to wear more sweaters, and that’s only because it’s July rather than November.
And that’s to the extent that Biden has ideas at all. His economic strategy was to rehash two earlier relief/stimulus bills in March 2021 with the $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan. The ARP was completely unnecessary in terms of economic recovery, but it provided a grand opportunity to give Biden what Barack Obama’s 2009 stimulus bill contained — a way to buy votes and pay off blue states by covering their budget shortfalls. It was a rehash of a rehash that ended up making hash out of the recovery and of the buying power of middle- and working-class American households.
Democrats Are Finally Putting Their Differences Aside. But It’s Too Late
It appears the Democrats understand that now is not the time for internal feuding and are focused on their dismal future. “Just over three months from the midterms, Democrats are temporarily tabling their disagreements, watching voters’ anger, the president’s low polls and a disastrous national climate redefine the terms of the discourse,” according to The Hill.
“It’s not about progressive or moderate at this point,” said Bill Neidhardt, an operative with the firm Left Flank Strategies. “It’s about action vs. inaction.”
“Voters aren’t looking at ideology. They are looking at who the hell will actually do something about all of this. Inflation. Abortion rights. Mass shootings,” he said. “You name it.”
The two factions have been at odds over how best to stay in power, and push the Democratic Party’s agenda. The Hill explained:
The Left Pushes for More Restaurant Protests Against SCOTUS
As word of this circulated, there has been a notable lack of common sense and calls for decency from those in power. When asked to address this activity at the latest White House press briefing, Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre actually lent support to the direct harassment of a SCOTUS Justice like this. Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy asked directly if this was acceptable behavior, and KJP stipulated the White House finds it acceptable.
This is markedly not a democratic activity, for starters. It is a personal harassment campaign on behalf of a political position. Put more bluntly, it is retribution. Nothing about protesting at a restaurant as Kavanaugh is dining will accomplish anything political. Because Morton’s restaurant dared to say they preferred that protestors not upset their customers, abortion re-activists took up the cause to punish the restaurant chain nationwide, with fake reservations which would not be filled.
What targeting a restaurant chain in this fashion will ultimately lead to is, of course, never addressed — because it will accomplish not a single thing that enables the political cause. It just feels like they are doing something, therefore they simply do it. Results are less important than the fleeting catharsis felt by the otherwise helpless minds.
Adding to the supportive language of these acts was Chasten Buttigieg, husband to Pete, of the Department of Transportation. He saw the news of Kavanaugh’s steak-side harassment, and he felt it was appropriate to be flippant about the matter.
The funny thing about this is that AOC has her own little history with this type of intrusion, and she was not nearly as flippant about the encounter. Once, soon after she had come out in opposition to people eating hamburgers, she was spotted in an establishment where her chief of staff was consuming the very reviled foodstuff, and someone snapped a picture of his consumption. She was less than graceful about this exchange.
Our New Antoinettes
Indeed, when various pollsters recently asked the public what their chief worries were, they found the culprits were the prohibitive price of gasoline, the ruinous effects of hyperinflation, supply chain shortages, the nonexistent southern border, or the escalating violent crime wave—all of which concerns are of apparent little interest to left-wing billionaires.
In other words, the worries of the Antoinette liberal elite—climate change, abortion on demand, transgenderism, strict gun-control—are not those that terrify the middle and lower classes. The latter, for some reason, first want to survive one more day with enough affordable food and energy and to be safe from criminals.
Why Democrats are currently unpopular transcends even Joe Biden’s daily, dangerous, and tragic loss of cognition. Their low ratings arise more from the implementation of an array of disastrous policies dreamed up at left-wing university departments and think tanks.
As a result, voters have concluded that the Left “just doesn’t care.”
By that, they conclude that the drivers of modern hard progressivism—the billionaire donor class, the highly compensated professional bicoastal elites, the ideologues who have captured and transformed the old Democratic Party—ignore criticism of their policies. Or they claim that their disasters are unappreciated benefits, or mere PR problems, or shift blame to the Russians, the Emmanuel-Goldstein Trump, the toadish media, or the victims of their disastrous policies.
Former Surgeon General rebrands as equity crusader, cashes in on perpetual pandemic industry
And while not as high profile an appointee, former Surgeon General Dr. Jerome Adams was easily one of its most destructive selections. As the former Health Commissioner of Indiana, Adams goes way back with former VP Mike Pence. He has long been the politician's “Public Health” apprentice. Pence is credited with getting Adams the Surgeon General gig and his position on the task force.
[clip]
He is now Purdue University’s “Executive Director of Health Equity Initiatives,” the first of its kind gig at the public university.
What exactly does that position entail? Your guess is as good as mine.
“Never before in American history has the need been greater or the community been more desirous of such an effort,” Adams said of his appointment. “I’m excited to combine my experiences in public health and public policy with the resources and opportunities afforded by Purdue to help coordinate, amplify and innovate in the health equity space,” he added.
But wait, there’s more!
In May, Adams was appointed chairman of the board of a company called Total Diversity Clinical Trial Management. The company describes itself as “a full-service CRO and Diversity Organization with an integrated focus on support services highlighting diversity and inclusion in clinical trials.”
In June, Adams joined the board of Avita, an outfit that claims “deep expertise” in providing “LGBTQ+ care.”
Adams is also diving head first into the Perpetual Pandemic industry.
In September 2021, he was named the “strategic healthcare adviser” to Lumos Diagnostics, an Australian COVID test company.
In May 2021, Adams joined the board of Atea Pharmaceuticals, a company that makes COVID antiviral drugs.
It does not appear that Adams is influential enough or is in good standing with the pharmaceutical revolving door that is the Biden Administration. Neither company has succeeded in bringing their products to U.S. markets.
As a man who profits from the Perpetual Pandemic industry, Adams is doing his best to convince the public to remain tethered to COVID Mania.
On Sunday, he claimed that the U.S. never had real lockdowns, because that would involve the government forcibly imprisoning Americans.
He is the Chuck County native correct?
What Could Go Wrong Next? Nationwide Railroad Strike Looms for Monday, and Biden's Asleep at the Switch
On Tuesday, the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen (BLET) announced that 99.5% of their participating members voted to authorize a strike. The union represents more than 57,000 railroad workers, 23,000 of which are affected by the current negotiations. It would be a challenge for anyone to find a vote taken by a union in any industry that ended up with a nearly 100% agreement. The BLET is one of the 12 unions involved in the current negotiations.
BLET National President Dennis R. Pierce summarized the changes caused by the implementation of Precision Scheduled Railroading (PSR) in his statement on the vote. The Class I railroad carriers slashed staff by one-third and created longer routes. This has led to staffing shortages and safety issues in the eyes of the employees. According to Pierce:
