THE ABSURD DEMOCRAT POLITICS OF RACE: I wonder if I’m the only one who noticed that the “candidate of color,” Mamdani, in the NYC mayoral Democratic primary seems to be (from pics, haven’t seen them in person) significantly fairer-skinned than the “white candidate,” Andrew Cuomo? by David Bernstein https://instapundit.com/732094/#disqus_thread

You Can't Spell California Without FO Duane Patterson On Friday, a national story out of a couple marijuana fields in Camarillo put a face on the rescuing children part of the operation. With warrants in hand after a federal investigation, Glass House Farms was raided Friday, with as many as ten minors here illegally working the fields. Gavin Newsom was pissed. Okay, he was in South Carolina, one of the three early primary states in 2028, running for president. But he was still angry, and posted this video in a desperate move to frame the government as coming there to seize the children. The problem, of course, is that the feds were not removing kids from their poor mothers in the fields. They were rescuing kids smuggled into the country that somehow had became slave labor. Even under California's very relaxed marijuana laws, there still is a law on the books that says you cannot work in this industry under the age of 21. Some of the kids rescued were as young as 14. Newsom, along with Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, and most of the other elected Democrats in this state, have been at the forefront of resistance against enforcement of the nation's immigration laws. They demand, and continue to encouraging protests, to maintain the Golden State's sanctuary status. Democrats continue to F around, and now they're finding out. And so are we. https://hotair.com/generalissimo/2025/07/14/you-cant-spell-california-without-fo-n3804757

LOL. Barack Obama: Dems Just Need to 'Toughen Up' By Ward Clark https://redstate.com/wardclark/2025/07/14/barack-obama-dems-just-need-to-toughen-up-n2191609

The Biden Autopen Scandal Just Got a Whole Lot Worse Matt Margolis I’m not sure who thought it was a good idea for Joe Biden to do an interview with the New York Times about the autopen scandal, but it happened, and boy, was it a mistake. While defending his controversial use of an autopen machine for mass clemency decisions, Biden boldly claimed he "made every decision" on his own. We cannot understate the scale of Biden's clemency actions. In what the White House trumpeted as "the largest single-day act of clemency by a U.S. president," Biden granted pardons and commutations to more than 1,500 individuals during his final weeks in office. This wasn't some routine administrative task; this was an unprecedented exercise of presidential power. But here's where Biden's characterization falls apart completely. Buried in the very same report is evidence that completely undermines his claim — evidence that should alarm every American who values transparency and accountability in government. The Times report explicitly states that Biden "did not individually approve each name for the categorical pardons that applied to large numbers of people." Instead, the report reveals that he merely "signed off on the standards he wanted to be used to determine which convicts would qualify for a reduction in sentence." https://pjmedia.com/matt-margolis/2025/07/14/the-biden-autopen-scandal-just-got-a-whole-lot-worse-n4941728

According to data from the Center for Immigration Studies (pro-immigrant), many immigrants work for extremely low wages, which are then subsidized by taxpayers through public assistance. The argument that “someone has to pick your lettuce” is dead; there is no “cheap labor” only corporate subsidies at our taxpayer expense. It might even end up being cheaper for businesses holistically when they are forced to pay actual market wages rather than depending on roundabout benefits. 🔸 54% of immigrant-headed households use at least one major welfare program, compared to 39% of U.S.-born households. 🔸 Non-citizen households (e.g., green card holders and illegal immigrants) show the highest usage at 59%. 🔸 Compared to U.S.-born households, immigrant households show elevated usage in: – Food assistance programs: 36% vs. 25% – Medicaid: 37% vs. 25% – Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC): 16% vs. 12% 🔸 Illegal immigrants can receive benefits on behalf of their U.S.-born children, while children who are illegal immigrants themselves are eligible for school meals and WIC. 🔸 Several states provide Medicaid or SNAP to some illegal immigrants, and millions of undocumented immigrants with work permits (DACA, TPS, asylum applicants) qualify for EITC. 🔸 Removing low-cost programs like school meals and WIC from the analysis still shows 46% of immigrant households vs. 33% of U.S.-born households use at least one remaining major program. 🔸 Workforce participation is high: 83% of immigrant households and 94% of illegal immigrant households have at least one worker. https://x.com/DataRepublican/status/1944504736201244961 Workforce participation would be higher among citizens if citizens didn’t have to compete with taxpayer-subsidized, below-market labor. .

And, as this thread shows, many of the lesser lights here still believe the lie. THEY AREN’T RATIONAL PEOPLE: Miranda Devine: Shocking new poll reveals majority of deluded Dems still believe the Russia collusion hoax was real. “The fact that liberals and Democrats still believe in the hoax is likely a reflection of their preferred media outlets, such as the New York Times, which refuses to hand back its ill-gotten Pulitzers, and MSNBC, which pays discredited plotters such as former CIA director John Brennan and former Mueller prosecutor Andrew Weissman to act out their Trump derangement on air.” More at the link: https://nypost.com/2025/07/13/opinion/miranda-devine-poll-reveals-majority-of-dems-still-believe-the-russia-collusion-hoax-was-real/ .
