Happy 4th of July - Independence Day!

Military.com: Let us never forget the significance of this day.

On July 4, 1776, the thirteen colonies claimed their independence from England, an event which eventually led to the formation of the United States.
[.]
In a June 7 session in the Pennsylvania State House (later Independence Hall), Richard Henry Lee of Virginia presented a resolution with the famous words: "Resolved: That these United Colonies are, and of right ought to be, free and independent States, that they are absolved from all allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain is, and ought to be, totally dissolved."

Ilhan Omar's carefully worded statement about Border Partol agents: "Eliminate" them.

Radical DEM Ilhan Omar, Rep. MN

Summit News: Ilhan Omar Calls For “Eliminating Existence” of Border Patrol Officers.

Congresswoman Ilhan Omar has called for “eliminating” Border Patrol officers because of their views towards black and brown people despite the fact that 51% of CPB agents are Latino.

The comments were made during an appearance on BET’s Black Coffee show.
[.]
According to the Customs and Border Protection (CBP), over half of agents who guard the borders between the U.S. and Mexico and the U.S. and Canada are Hispanic. That number is from 2008, so it’s probably even higher now.

To portray CBP agents as some kind of vanguard of white supremacy is clearly wholly inaccurate and hysterical, but that’s par for the course when it comes to Ilhan Omar.

"Eliminate" [them]. Many despots throughout history have used the same words.

Bakery denies serving stingy sandwich.

An Auckland bakery is denying it served what's been called one of the stingiest sandwiches of all time, a picture of which caused the internet to go berserk.

The Papakura Bakery made headlines after a photo of the sandwich was posted in the Papakura and Takanini Grapevine private Facebook group. The photo showed the sandwich, allegedly purchased from the bakery, containing two measly slivers of meat.

The bakery strongly denies the sandwich was purchased from them, however.

Buttigieg Staffer Calls For Urine Attack on Republican Congressman Matt Gaetz.

Summit News: Buttigieg Staffer Calls For Urine Attack on Republican Congressman Matt Gaetz.

A staffer working for Mayor Pete Buttigieg called for Republican Congressman Matt Gaetz to be attacked with urine.

The comment, which was made on Facebook by Samantha Pollara, was in relation to a milkshake attack on Gaetz on June 1 by 25-year-old Amanda L. Kondrat’yev, who was later charged with battery.

“Please, please let it be urine next time…,” commented Pollara.

Just as many on the left justified or celebrated the attack on Andy Ngo, which left him hospitalized with brain bleed, the June 1 milkshake assault on Gaetz was also lauded.

The Orlando Weekly said Gaetz had a “laundry list of milkshakable offenses” and called the person who filmed the assault on him a "true hero".

California Gas Tax 6 cents more on Monday, July 1.

Mis queridos californianos, rellenen el domingo antes de que los socialistas tomen más de su dinero.

Uh, sorry, I slipped into BOB O'Rourke campaign mode pandering there. I'll try again: My dear Californians, fill-up on Sunday before the Socialists take more of your money.

AP Photo/Rich Pedroncelli

The Albuquerque Journal: California gas tax rises another 6 cents a gallon Monday.

California’s nation-leading gas prices are set to climb even higher Monday, when the state gas tax increases another 5.6 cents a gallon.

It’s the latest increase from a 2017 law designed to raise about $5 billion a year for road and mass transit programs.

A 12 cent-per-gallon boost came that November, and voters last year rejected a Republican-led effort to repeal the law. But Southern California voters did recall one Democratic lawmaker who helped pass the measure.

California motorists were paying an average $3.75 per gallon as of late June, far above the national average of $2.71 calculated by AAA .

The gas tax will increase to 47.3 cents a gallon July 1, according to the state Board of Equalization, and continue to increase indefinitely starting next year to keep up with the California Consumer Price Index.

Fret not, for I am sure, the additional tax revenue will be judiciously spent and the returns and impact from this investment will immediately benefit all of the taxpayers and welcomed immigrants in Cali.

Kimmy accepts Trump's invite for DMZ meeting.

The National: North Korea's Kim Jong Un accepts Donald Trump's invitation for meeting at DMZ:

President Donald Trump will meet on Sunday with North Korea’s Kim Jong Un at the demilitarised zone separating the North and South, a day after he issued an unprecedented invitation and expressed willingness to cross the border for what would be a history-making photo op.

South Korean President Moon Jae-in announced that Mr Kim accepted Mr Trump’s invitation to meet when the US president visits the heavily fortified site at the Korean border village of Panmunjom.

Mr Moon praised the two leaders for “being so brave” to hold the meeting and said: “I hope President Trump will go down in history as the president who achieves peace on Korean Peninsula.”

The Libs would be drooling like thirsty dogs or teething babies, falling all over themselves, fawning and praising Any DEM president doing what President Donald Trump is doing. Good. I'm glad the president is meeting with Kimmy, if for no other reason than it pisses of The Libs. But this is much more than that. This is a historic moment.

US women’s football star Megan Rapinoe fired her team into the World Cup semifinals with two goals against France on Friday night, before stating that “you can’t win a championship without gay players on your team.”

Fresh from a week in which she was involved in a row with President Donald Trump over her comments that she wouldn’t “go to the f*cking White House” if the US won the World Cup[.]

“You can’t win a championship without gays on your team – it’s never been done before, ever. That’s science, right there,” the 33-year-old said. 

“I’m motivated by people who like me, who are fighting for the same things. I take more energy from that than from trying to prove anyone wrong. That’s draining on yourself.

“But for me, to be gay and fabulous, during Pride month at the World Cup, is nice,” she added.

Canada: Six-year-old taught "no such thing as boys and girls".

The Christian Institute: Canada: Six-year-old taught "no such thing as boys and girls".

The parents of a six-year-old girl have filed a human rights complaint after her teacher told her “there is no such thing as boys and girls”.

Pamela Buffone said her daughter became increasingly distressed and worried, asking if she could “go to a doctor” and saying she was “not sure if she wanted to be a mommy”.

The family are now asking a tribunal to ensure that classroom discussion does not “devalue, deny or undermine” biological reality.
[.]...the teacher named as ‘JB’ showed the children at Devonshire Community Public School a video promoting radical gender ideology.

The video – ‘He, She and They?!? – Gender: Queer Kid Stuff #2’ – taught that “some people aren’t boys or girls” and some people don’t “feel like a ‘she’ or a ‘he’”.

The teacher then proceeded to tell the class “girls are not real and boys are not real”.

When the Buffones met with JB two months later to discuss their concerns, she claimed that gender ideology was part of the school policy and said she was ‘committed to the teaching of gender fluidity’.

The Buffones were increasingly concerned that their daughter was becoming traumatised.

Mum Pamela said her “gender identity is – or was – seamless comfort in her biological skin. She had never questioned that comfort.”

“Suddenly, she was told to believe that at any moment, what she believes to be real – that she is a girl – may not be true.”

“How very frightening that thought must be to a child”.

Their human rights complaint states that the teacher subjected their six-year-old daughter “to ongoing discrimination on the basis of gender and gender identity, by a series of lessons that denied the existence of the female gender and biological sex and undermined the value of identifying as female”.

Terrance: How many genders does Canada have, Phillip?

Homan went on to point to a time when a Democratic lawmaker asked a Trump official, "You still keeping those kids in cages?"

With a fiery response, Homan retorted, "I would answer the question, 'The kids are being housed in the same facility built under the Obama administration.'"

Biden staff denies freaking out over Biden's poor debate performance. Campaign imploding?

The Week: Biden campaign denies they're 'freaking out' about his debate performance.

The Democratic presidential debate wasn't even over yet on Thursday before former Vice President Joe Biden's campaign was denying a report that they're "freaking out" about his performance.

Biden took fire from numerous Democratic opponents during the second round of debates on Thursday, most notably from Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.), who in a pointed exchange challenged Biden's civil rights record and his "hurtful" comments about having worked with segregationists.

New York Magazine's Olivia Nuzzi subsequently reported that Biden's campaign is "freaking out," citing a source close to the campaign as saying debate watch parties have been playing poorly and bemoaning the fact that he didn't listen to debate prep because he's "set in his ways."

St. Louis Park Will No Longer Say the Pledge of Allegiance at City Council Meetings. Who needs "standard rituals"?

St. Louis Park CoucilTard Tim Brausen

Alpha News: St. Louis Park kills Pledge of Allegiance.

Tim Brausen City Council Tim Brausen said “Our community tends to be a very welcoming and increasingly diverse community, and we believe our citizens will understand. I don’t think we’re going to be any less welcoming by not starting our meeting out with the standard ritual.”

The motion to remove the pledge passed unanimously by the city council. Star Tribune reports that roughly half the cities in Minnesota no longer start their meetings with the recital of the pledge of allegiance.

“We’ve had some racial equity initiatives going on in the city of St. Louis Park for awhile where we’re trying to get more diverse communities and historically less engaged communities to come and participate in our public process,” Brausen said. (Translation: "We're trying hard to make people who hate us hate us a little bit less." - DD).

Minnesota State Republican react: 

The Pledge is said at the start of council meetings. The simple and less complicated method to this Draconian "standard ritual" of reciting The Pledge could have been that those who don't want to participate in saying it is to show up five minutes after the start of the meeting. But that doesn't come anywhere close in pandering to Those Who Are Offended By Everything.

Thank you, Congressman O'Rourke.

Hang on. Let me give 30 seconds, Senator Klobuchar, the iron range. I'm curious. Gun confiscation, right? If the government is buying back, how do you not have that conversation?

KLOBUCHAR:

Well, that's not confiscation. You could give them the offer to buy back their gun.

But I'll say this. I look at these proposals and I say, does this hurt my Uncle Dick and his deer stand, coming from a proud hunting and fishing state? These proposals don't do that. When I was a prosecutor, I supported the assault weapons ban. When I was in the Senate, I saw those moms from Sandy Hook come and try to advocate for change, and we all failed. And then now these Parkland kids from Florida, they started literally a national shift.

You know why? It's just like with gay marriage. When kids talked to their parents and their grandparents, they say I don't understand why we can't put these sensible things in place, they listen. And if we get bested by a bunch of 17-year-olds...

All right, Senator, thank you.

... it's the best thing that ever happened. We need to get...

TODD:

Senator, thank you. Senator, thank you.

Todd was trying to save Klobuchar from herself by attempting to end the dialogue. But she just couldn't stop swallowing her foot.

Gun confiscation, her uncle Dick and his deer stand, and analogies between the Second Amendment and gay marriage. I am shocked she failed to manage working in the words, "Trump Bad."

Klobuchar, desperate in promoting the falsehood that the Second Amendment has anything to do with hunting, fishing (because who doesn't use guns while fishing?), her Uncle Dick and his deer stand, or "assault" rifles.

Reddit quarantines r/The Donald

USA MacPaper: Reddit restricts pro-Trump subreddit r/The_Donald for violent comments.

Reddit has "quarantined" a popular subreddit for supporters of President Donald Trump for "threats of violence against police and public officials."

The social media site now displays a warning message for visitors trying to access r/The_Donald which has more than 754,000 subscribers. Quarantined subreddits also "generate no revenue, do not appear in non-subscription-based feeds (eg Popular), and are not included in search or recommendations," according to Reddit.
[.]
The move comes two days after Media Matters reported that subreddit users have repeatedly called for violence against Oregon police and other public officials. Gov. Kate Brown authorized the Oregon State Police to find and return 11 Republican state senators who fled Salem to deny Democrats the opportunity to pass a sweeping greenhouse gas emissions cap-and-trade bill.

Can anyone recall Media Matters condemning actual violence committed by AntiFa, rather than alleged "calls for violence" appearing at a thread on a glorified BBS that's been usurped by Spastic Snowflake Liberals?

Parler CEO says Apple won’t let free speech app update unless it censors content. Apple relents.

Reclaim The Net: Apple app update bans Parler.

John Matze, the founder and CEO of free speech social network Parler, says that Apple has given him an ultimatum – ban “offensive” content off Parler or the Parler app will be banned from the App Store. Matze says he refused and now Apple is preventing Parler from updating its app.
[.]
Based on Matze’s claims, Parler won’t be able to push updates to its iOS app until the situation gets resolved which is unlikely if Parler stays committed to allowing “offensive” speech. This means the Parler iOS app will probably become unusable in September when Apple releases iOS 13, a new version of its mobile operating system, because app updates are usually necessary in order for them to continue working with the latest version of iOS.

Apple has relented, at least for now.

Breitbart: Parler Accuses Apple of Slow-Walking App Update.

Free-speech centered social media app Parler recently attempted to roll out an update to their iPhone app, a common event that many app developers do on a regular basis to add new features, fix bugs, update app elements, etc. But Parler found their update stopped dead in its track as Apple stated that it would have to review the app to determine if the update would be allowed to go ahead.

After Parler attempted to launch the update, company CEO John Matze says he was contacted by an Apple employee via the App Store Connect portal. The employee explained that the Parler app was likely in violation of the App store rule 1.1.1 which prohibits:

    ["]Defamatory, discriminatory, or mean-spirited content, including references or commentary about religion, race, sexual orientation, gender, national/ethnic origin, or other targeted groups, particularly if the app is likely to humiliate, intimidate, or place a targeted individual or group in harm’s way.

South Dakota Snowflakes Triggered by parade float featuring Obama and Hillary figures in a cage.

Oh those poor, dainty, fragile Triggered Snowflakes.

KSFY Sioux Falls: Parade float causes controversy.

[Jeff Damer, the creator of the controversial float, said], ""I just wanted to put it out there, it was just my view that I feel that they should be charged, Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton[.]"

Damer's float has stirred up a lot of talk on social media. Highmore Mayor Vikki Day says city officials have received a lot of messages from people who think she shouldn't have allowed the float.

"My stance, and the city's stance is that every person has a right to the first amendment, to express his or her speech, and the expressions of it, we do not regulate that," said Day.

South Dakota blogger Kevin Woster, who thinks the float came off very offensive.

"Well when I saw that, to me it was objectionable," said Kevin Woster, opponent of Damer's float.

Good for Mayor Vikki Day!

And now for sad, miserable, easily-Triggered Snowflake  Kevin Woster:

Kevin Woster, Snowflake. Or Sand in his vagina? (NSFW)

Kevin Woster imagines "threats" everywhere. Read the link at South Dakota War College: "RCJ's Kevin woster [sic] threatened wih [sic] assault by Katus supporter at Adelstein announcement".

Spelling and capitalization aside, that post title or headline has to be one of the worst I've ever seen, structured grammatically as poorly as possible, conveying nothing. "By PP." Congrats! It either took a lot of thought, or none.

"A tale of weirdness," related by Kevin Woster. Uh-huh. What colors were the unicorns and the mermaids, Kevin? Kevin Woster...sufferer of Pussyextremititis. Here, Kev, you and your fellow Soth dkotans help yourself to as many as needed:

Now, about that name, the South Dakota War College. That's a very hurtful, oppressive and insensitive name. It needs to be changed. Maybe, Peace College? Doesn't that name just give everyone the moisties?

Yuma Border Patrol agents arrest deported child molester Juan Rojas-Rodriguez.

Juan Rojas-Rodriguez

KGUN9, Tuscon: Yuma Sector Border Patrol agents arrest deported child molester Juan Rojas-Rodriguez.

YUMA, Ariz. — Yuma Sector Border Patrol agents arrested a deported child molester who entered the U.S. with family units on Wednesday evening.

Yuma station agents near the Colorado River apprehended a group of six migrants near County 23rd Street and the Salinity Canal around 10:45 p.m.

CBP says previously deported Mexican national 41-year-old Juan Rojas-Rodriguez was convicted of sex with a minor under 14-years-old in California back 1996.

Officials say Rojas-Rodriguez was deported in 2008 after being located at the Lompoc Federal Correction Institution in California.

CBP says "Rojas-Rodriguez is charged with re-entry as a previously deported aggravated felon."

The other migrants are being processed for immigration violations.

God is gay; Swarthmore College course.

RT: US college suggests ‘God is queer,’ heaven forbid you challenge it!

Another liberal institution is challenging an age-old dogma – this time on hallowed religious ground – with radical new ideas. This would not be worrisome if dissenting voices were invited, but that is not the case.

Hell hath no fury than a liberal scorned, and if Swarthmore College, situated on a lush, tree-lined campus in the state of Pennsylvania, teaches that God might be experiencing some doubt over his (her?) sexual identity then who are we mere mortals to doubt it? Perhaps the liberal college might even consider extending an invitation to God the Almighty, who micromanaged the Creation in just seven days, to enroll in this course, which promises to “stretch the limits of gendering, and sexing, the divine.”
[.]
...with ultra-liberal classes like the one being offered by Professor Gwynn Kessler, entitled ‘Queering God: Feminist and Queer Theology,’ religious doctrine threatens to be turned on its head to such a degree that what is left bears no resemblance to Christian teachings.

Swarthmore course description:

 Who is Gwen Kessler?

From Campus Reform:

[Professor Gwynn Kessler] is an associate professor of religion at Swarthmore College. She received her Ph.D. in Rabbinics from the Jewish Theological Seminary and has taught at various universities in the U.S., including the University of North Carolina at Greensboro and the University of Florida. Kessler has taught many different courses, some of which are on Jewish History, Judaism and Gender, Judaism and Ecology, Feminist Theology, and Religion and Gender. In her university bio, it says that her work fits the categories of “postmodern, feminist, and queer theoretical approaches.”

Campus Reform reached out to Kessler for comments regarding her course but received no response in time for publication.

Swarthmore seems to create its own problems and craves attention:

NPR: Swarthmore Fraternities Disband Over Leaked Documents That Detailed Misogyny:

...campus publications Voices and The Phoenix released anonymously leaked internal documents from Phi Psi, dating from 2010 to 2016.

The trove of files included minutes, detailing graphic sexual encounters with female students, lists of fraternity hazing challenges, and intimate videos and photographs of women that appear to have been taken without their consent. (In most instances, the papers report, the women have their backs to the camera.) One entry refers to an alleged "rape tunnel" and a "rape attic" in one of the fraternity headquarters.

Is there any question why so many college graduates have no marketable and appreciable real-world job qualifications? There are so many employment opportunities that hinge on God's gender and sexual orientation as opposed to asking a prospective employee, "can you create Pivot Tables?"

And DEM presidential candidates want to forgive student loan debt? For students majoring in courses like the above, the amount they owe should be doubled.

BOB O'Rourke proposes 'war tax' on wealthy U.S. families without military members.

BOB O'Rourke rally with supporters.

al-Reuters: Democrat O'Rourke proposes 'war tax' on affluent U.S. families without military members.

Democratic presidential candidate Beto O’Rourke on Monday proposed taxing affluent American families who do not have members in the U.S. military as a way to fund healthcare for veterans.

The former congressman from Texas unveiled a plan for military veterans that includes a “war tax,” in which taxpayers who earn over $200,000 a year would pay $1,000 in a new tax for each war embarked on by the United States.

O’Rourke, who did not serve in the military but sat on the House of Representatives Armed Services and Veterans’ Affairs committees, said the tax would be levied on households without current members of the U.S. military or military veterans. He did not specify what types of war, or the scale and origins of the wars, on which the tax would be levied.

Of course he didn't explain or provide details on his plan. He's nothing more than a walking, talking glob of platitudes - the same as every other DEM.

Maybe BOB can voluntarily contribute a retroactive "war tax" for his lack of military service, considering his vast wealth of White Privilege lifestyle.
