Voters toss 4 politicians from city office, but they just vote themselves back in * WorldNetDaily * by Bob Unruh

Voters toss 4 politicians from city office, but they just vote themselves back in * WorldNetDaily * by Bob Unruh: 

But they say since the election was held by the county, not the city, it's invalid. Then the recalled officials met and voted to keep themselves in office. They have prompted a warning from the sheriff they are not authorized to use any public money for anything, and state Attorney General Rob Bonta's office has authorized, as required, the procedure in court called quo warranto.

Exit tax!!

 

Stalin With a Smile - by Michael Smith

The would-be Soviets are now selling slavery with a smile. - Michael Smith
 "The full buffet is free, if you just vote for me" goes the siren song of the "democratic" socialists. 

Don't believe it...

• In a free-market capitalist system, people are encouraged to act. They are encouraged to solve problems, create value, take risks, and improve their circumstances by improving the circumstances of others. 
• In a communist system, people are conditioned to avoid problems while the state promises to shield them from those problems in exchange for power, control, and dependence.

Virtually every promise the committed communist makes revolves around avoiding something. 

• Healthcare becomes free. 
• Education, housing and transportation all become free. 
• The collective will provide.
• The state will take care of it. 

Your highest freedom, they argue, is freedom from concern itself...

State's pro-LGBT fanaticism takes direct hit in fight at appeals court * WorldNetDaily * by Bob Unruh

State's pro-LGBT fanaticism takes direct hit in fight at appeals court * WorldNetDaily * by Bob Unruh: 

Citing a U.S. Supreme Court decision on a related issue, a panel of judges at the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has granted an injunction preventing the enforcement of California's AB 1955, a law that bars school officials from telling parents about "gender transitions" being imposed on their children. The stunning reversal comes after the same court had rejected requests for an injunction twice earlier.

In 2023, Governor Gretchen Whitmer promised Michigan households $145 in annual savings from her green energy plan.

Instead, families are now paying $250 or more extra each year, a swing of about $395.  - Flint Talk

• Under Whitmer’s administration, major utilities secured multi-million dollar rate hikes, with costs expected to keep rising and low-income households hit the hardest. 
• The failed promise raises direct questions about Whitmer’s planning, accountability, and who will ultimately pay for the state’s energy transition.

Rick Scott moves to end DHS program that incentivizes hiring foreign grads * WorldNetDaily * by Elizabeth Troutman Mitchell, The Daily Signal: 

"We need to make more jobs available for hardworking Americans, not foreign workers who come over to exploit the system—including thousands from Communist China," Scott said in a statement to the Daily Signal. "This is why we need to end the Optional Practical Training Program, which has allowed employers to import foreign labor under the guise of job training. That's why I am proud to introduce this bill to end it."

Watching the climate hoax slowly (maybe these days quickly?) unravel is one of the greatest things I've ever watched.

It's like the human race is finally awakening from some kind of imposed stupor (like Indiana Jones in Raiders 2, or Theoden after Gandalf broke Wormtongue's spell). - Jacques Voorhees

What continues to shock me is the hoaxsters' own inability to see how foolish they look with their multi-decade track record of absurd and completely incorrect predictions. 

• Do they truly not know the first thing about the scientific method? 

A theory has to be able to make "falsifiable and non-obvious" predictions. 

• If it can't, it's back to the drawing board...

See what California is doing now to kill nuclear families * WorldNetDaily * by Bob Unruh: 

California wasn't always anti-family. Not even 20 years ago voters there approved Prop 8 which defined marriage as the union of a man and a woman. That, of course, fell quickly in the courts before the combine juggernaut of the Democrats, the LGBTQ community and leftist judges. But the latest anti-family move is so extreme it is raising eyebrows anew: A plan to let children decide if they want to "divorce" their parents.

We'll see what happens!-----Iran War Misconceptions - Victor Davis Hanson

The shooting portion of the Iran “War” lasted about 40 days—far shorter than Barack Obama’s 2011 congressionally unauthorized seven-month bombing campaign against Libya. - American Greatness-June 18, 2026

• Bill Clinton’s unauthorized 78 days of bombing Serbia in 1999 hit bridges, schools, hospitals, monuments, and power plants—far more indiscriminate targeting than anything in the Iran War so far.

No one yet knows the ultimate verdict on the war, given all the economic, military, political, and strategic variables still in play...
But in this confusing, ongoing drama, many fabrications and distortions still circulate.

• The Strait of Hormuz was open before the war and is now closed, so the war was a failure.
• The Strait was open because an appeased Iran had no reason to close it—given that no nation on earth dared to end its nuclear dreams of dominating the Middle East, funding anti-Western terrorists, and threatening Europe and the U.S.

So the rub was always disarming Iran and then dealing with its inevitable desperate strategy of closing the Strait...
