The Second Amendment and Americans’ True Priorities
87% of Americans want mandatory background checks for prospective gun owners.
It’s a priority for 7 out of 8 of us. It’s as close as you’re going to get to a unanimous issue.
Fox News’ Large Viewership: What It Doesn’t Mean

From the right-wing Western Journal:
Fox News remained the dominant force in prime-time cable news ratings even after the seismic change of getting rid of star host Tucker Carlson, the network announced Tuesday. And its liberal competitors combined are barely even close.
The inference here is that most Americans are conservative, which is not the case. What did it mean when Trump held huge rallies while Biden stayed home? Answer: Biden won by 7 million votes.
The habits of progressives are far different than those of Trump supporters in a great number of respects, one of which is pictured above. Do you see people displaying huge Biden flags from their cars and trucks?
Heat Limits
Here’s an article describing what happens when global temperatures rise and the less fortunate are unable to find relief from the heat and humidity.
The phrase “less fortunate” is key here. The well-being of wealthy people is impacted only to the degree, as the situation gets worse, law and order breaks down and society becomes chaotic.
One Never Knows
I thought this was funny, though I wonder if its author was serious, and used the graphic here to encourage moron investors to come onboard.
Republicans on Climate Change: Nothing to See Here
From my colleague Joe Spease:
Republicans, including Mike Pence, are working to kill the fantastic programs to fight climate change that were started by Biden. Republicans are making it clear that the future of our children is not as important as the profits of oil and gas companies. They still deny that climate change is a problem. They claim to be pro-life but care nothing about the millions of people being killed each year by climate change. Remember that when you vote in the election.
Thanks, Joe. It’s nothing short of disgusting, to be sure.

Some Climate Deniers Are Digging in Their Heels
This July is the hottest one in history, but it’s only one of many broken temperature records that has caused some climate deniers to change their positions on global warming.
Some, but not all.
At left, Fox News interviews Steve Scalise, one of our country’s very worst people.
Trump’s Pity Party Isn’t the Problem
No one expects Trump, for the first time in his life, to suddenly admit that the hot water in which he finds himself is due to his own misconduct.
But the problem here isn’t that Trump wants our pity; it’s that he wants our rage.
Wait till he’s convicted of the charges leveled in any of these indictments. He’ll try to make January 6th look like a schoolyard pushing match.

Nikki Haley, Political Strumpet
When Nikki Haley was a U.S. Representative from Hawaii, it appeared she had solid values on things like LGBTQ rights, abortion, environmental sustainability, and so forth.
Now she’s running for president as a Republican, and she’s flip-flopped on all these issues.
What do you call someone who sells their honor and integrity for money?
Wokeness in the Military
I coached a few of my son’s soccer teams when he was a boy, and I recall getting after him when he would challenge a referee’s call. “You’re a player; you play. He’s a ref. Let the ref ref.”
I feel the same way about our military leaders. I think they do a pretty goddamn good job protecting our nation, and they certainly don’t need instruction from Ron DeSantis, grandstanding for the votes of hateful morons.

RFK Jr. for President
It’s true; if this crackpot’s last name weren’t “Kennedy,” he’d be getting the same attention as a presidential hopeful as my gardener.
My gardener, FWIW, is a sane, responsible, hard-working and kind man. I’d vote for him every day of the week over Kennedy, and obviously, Trump.
His English is only marginally better than my Spanish, but that’s not what matters. Character counts.
Unlike Trump, for example, he’s not a career criminal whose sole motive is his own enrichment/empowerment.
