  1. Camp Mystic co-owner and director Richard “Dick” Eastland has been confirmed dead. He died trying to heroically rescue some of his campers before they were swept away in the deadly Texas floodwaters.

  3. Too late B.B. The lemmings here have their false narrative, NOTHING will change their minds.
  4. A Very Consequential Two Weeks for Donald Trump’s Presidency. SALENA ZITO FTA: “In the past 12 days, some of the most consequential decisions in American history, those that will affect generations and leave a substantial impact on our culture, economy and political alignment, have been made either by President Donald Trump or because of him. But they have been largely either downplayed or not fully analyzed in terms of how they all connect.” The U.S. Steel deal between the iconic American company and Nippon Steel happened because of Trump's ability to apply pressure through negotiations that sometimes bewildered everyone involved. But they led to the literal reversal of fortune of an industry, from the additional supply industries that include mechanics, construction workers, transportation systems such as railways, and energy. The 50% tariffs Trump announced the day he visited the U.S. Steel plant in West Mifflin were also seen by American manufacturers as a signal that Trump was committed to revitalizing American steel mills. It also signaled an overall mandate to reshore manufacturing in the country. While much of Wall Street warned that the tariffs would cause a widespread recession, a former critic of the tariffs, Torsten Slok, chief economist at Apollo Global Management, did an about-face and wondered if Trump outsmarted everyone, laying out a scenario that keeps tariffs well below Trump's most aggressive rates long enough to ease uncertainty. That a steelworker or a welder working for a defense contractor would watch what happened to Iran's nuclear program and feel a part of it is a nuance in American journalism that is often missed. Sen. David McCormick (R-Pa.) told the Washington Examiner that it is an integrated story, both in terms of the consequences of those decisions, bolstering our economic capability and our independence. "But it's a confidence in leadership story too," McCormick said. McCormick, who took office in January after winning against an entrenched Democrat few thought he could defeat, said the nuance of how intertwined moments such as these are is often missed. "These are reinforcing themes," he said. https://hotair.com/salena-zito/2025/07/05/a-very-consequential-two-weeks-for-donald-trumps-presidency-n3804482
  5. OPEC+ to boost oil production by 548,000 barrels per day in August by Associated Press Eight members of the OPEC+ alliance of oil exporting countries say they will boost production by 548,000 barrels per day in August in a move that could further reduce gas prices this year. The group that includes Saudi Arabia and Russia made the decision at a virtual meeting Saturday. They cited a “steady global economic outlook” and low oil inventories. Oil prices spiked sharply last month during the bloody, 12-day conflict between Israel and Iran but then tumbled back down as the U.S. helped broker a peace deal after dropping bombs on three of Iran’s key nuclear sites. https://apnews.com/article/opec-boosts-oil-production-891365fcd8f487c4d5f4d2dab1868c78?utm_source=Email&utm_medium=share
  6. Well this helps to explain why the Russia/Ukraine war won't end. China doesn't want it to end.

  8. Gone at last! The AP, via PBS, confirms the news, U.S. completes deporting 8 men from various nations to South Sudan after weeks of legal battles. It took nearly two months and two U.S. Supreme Court decisions, but it finally happened. The Associated Press is not happy, Eight men deported from the United States in May and held under guard for weeks at an American military base in the African nation of Djibouti while their legal challenges played out in court have now reached the Trump administration’s intended destination, war-torn South Sudan, a country the State Department advises against travel to due to “crime, kidnapping, and armed conflict.” Did you catch that? South Sudan is not a nice place. These eight “migrants” had all been convicted of violent crimes in the U.S. All eight had “final” orders of removal lodged against them. https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2025/07/gone-at-last.php
  9. The torn down Christopher Columbus statue outside the Minnesota State Capitol, St. Paul, Minnesota in June 2020 Celebrating Independence From Anti-American History Propaganda The end of the 1619 Project? by Mary Grabar Five years ago, on July 4, 2020, the country was in the midst of waves of rioting. The proximate cause, the match that lit the fire, was the death of a black man, a violent ex-convict, on May 25, with fentanyl and methamphetamines in his system, while in the custody of police. As with the Rodney King incident in 1992, selective footage inspired the looting and murdering mobs. But the tinder had been drying since the previous summer when a special issue of the New York Times Magazine was published on August 18, 2019. Schoolchildren in over 3,500 schools had been imbibing the lessons of its “1619 Project” for just as long. Anti-American historical revisionism added fuel to the flame. The creator of the 1619 Project, Nikole Hannah-Jones, took pride in the fruit of her work, tweeting that it was an “honor” to have the riots named after her 1619 Project. The 2020 riots, in addition to being known as the George Floyd riots, were dubbed “the 1619 riots” by Claremont McKenna College professor Charles Kesler. New York Times columnist Timothy Egan, inveighing against President Trump’s Fourth of July address at Mount Rushmore, called the “protests” a “legacy of rage dating to 1619.” The so-called “protests” by August 22 included almost 570 violent demonstrations in 220 locations, resulting in over two dozen deaths, countless injuries, and upwards of $25 billion in property damage. The murder rate rose by 30 percent in 2020. Oddly, rioters attacked historical monuments and statues, ranging from Thomas Jefferson to Union soldiers to a pioneer woman to a moose. Symbols of the country’s heritage were painted with “1619” and torn down, sometimes on the bodies of raging protestors. At least one was killed. https://spectator.org/celebrating-independence-from-anti-american-history-propaganda/
