. . ."When the U.S. government withdrew from Afghanistan after 20 years, we left behind airstrips, shipping containers and guns. When the British pulled out of India, they left behind an entire civilization, a language, a legal system, schools, churches and public buildings, all of which are still in use today. Here's the train station the English built in Bombay, for example. There's nothing like that in Washington, DC right now, much less in Kabul or Baghdad. Today, India is far more powerful than the UK, the nation that once ruled it and yet, after 75 years of independence, has that country produced a single building as beautiful as the Bombay train station that the British colonialists built? No, sadly, it has not. Not one.
"So, despite what they may be claiming on Twitter tonight, the British Empire was more than just genocide. In fact, the British did not commit genocide, except arguably against the Dutch during the Boer War. The British did give the world the Magna Carta and habeas corpus and free speech. They helped end the transatlantic slave trade, as well as the ritual murder of widows in India. The British Empire spread Protestant Christianity to the entire world. It published some of the greatest literature ever written and produced the finest manufactured goods ever made anywhere at any time, including now.". . .

Queen Elizabeth Is Being Attacked Because She Lived In A Better Time
Could Biden’s Divisive Rhetoric Cost Democrats Congress?
His attempt to stigmatize millions of voters instead of addressing real issues may be a fatal blunder.
Biden's hateful rhetoric against Americans presents the GOP with a sterling opportunity - American Thinker
Online death threats against Biden after speech [Video] (aol.com) "President Biden’s fiery speech in Philadelphia denouncing former President Donald Trump and what he described as “extreme MAGA ideology” has sparked online calls for violence, including death threats against the president, according to documents obtained by Yahoo News.
"Biden’s remarks also prompted immediate concerns from senior counterterrorism officials who said they fear that calling Trump supporters extremists would be viewed as a call to arms and would only inflame an already volatile threat environment.". . .

Why 'Educated' Liberal Women Are the Real Threat to Our Republic
By Jack Cashill, "When last Thursday night Joe Biden told America, "Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans" threaten "the very foundations of our republic," he missed the mark. The real threat comes from the unlikeliest of suspects: educated liberal females, or "ELFs" for short.
These are the women who will proudly vote
Democrat regardless of soaring inflation, rising gas prices, rampant crime in
the streets, the unchecked flood of illegal aliens, and oppressive COVID
policies that have irreparably damaged all children, the poor most notably." . . .

Most want Biden impeached, see GOP dropping ball | Washington Examiner "A majority of voters, including a third of Democrats, support efforts to impeach unpopular President Joe Biden, the latest president to face the nation’s harshest criticism.
"In a new Rasmussen Reports survey, voters by a margin of 52%-42% support impeachment. That includes 77% of Republicans, 50% of independents, and 32% of Democrats.
"But in a related question about Republican promises to make good on impeachment threats, expectations for action are down on the chances the GOP will follow through.
"Rasmussen found that 47% believe it is likely that the Republicans in the House will vote to impeach versus 43% that don’t. A third of Republicans said it was unlikely that the GOP would vote to impeach.
“ 'Support for impeaching Biden is highest among voters 40-64, who are also most likely to think that if Republicans win in the midterms, they actually will impeach the president. Retirees are least supportive of impeaching Biden,” said the polling analysis shared with Secrets.

The Green Surrender (freebeacon.com) "I sometimes wonder which policy of President Biden's has been or will be the most destructive of them all. There are so many possibilities.
"The American Rescue Plan of 2021 contributed to the record inflation of the past year. Biden's reversal of the Migration Protection Protocols, safe third country agreements, and other immigration policies enacted by the previous administration resulted in historic numbers of illegal entries along the southern border. The withdrawal from Afghanistan abandoned a nation of 39 million people to a murderous, medieval, terrorist-aligned mafia. Biden has pursued a renewed nuclear agreement with Iran despite that regime's support for militias that fire on U.S. troops, plots to kill U.S. officials on U.S. soil, and ultimate responsibility for the assault on Salman Rushdie. Just the other day, Biden announced a complex, unconstitutional, regressive, and inflationary scheme to forgive student debt. The words "moral hazard" are not in his vocabulary.
"Like I said: There are plenty of options for which Biden policy is the worst. Yet his biggest folly may turn out to be his green thumb. The manic Progressive quest to eliminate fossil fuels and preside over a "green energy transition" will make America dependent, unstable, poorer, needier, and weaker. Indeed, it already is doing so.". . .
Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot Shipped Migrants Sent by Texas Away After Making a Show of Welcoming Them
RedState . . ."As RedState previously reported, Texas Governor Greg Abbott has been teaching virtue-signaling leftists a hard lesson by shipping the illegal migrants flooding his state to their self-proclaimed “sanctuary cities” so that they can get a minor taste of what it’s like to have illegal migrants running around their cities and states.
"Naturally, many Democrat politicians began throwing temper tantrums and accused Abbott of racism and irresponsibility. They either knew they’d been check-mated or lacked the self-awareness to understand they were being massive hypocrites. I’m not sure which is worse in their positions.
"Lightfoot attempted to seem like she was ready to be everything she claimed she was.
“ 'Chicago is and will continue to be a welcoming city. We are collaborating across various City departments and with local, state and community partners to ensure everyone who arrives in Chicago is greeted and treated with dignity and respect,” Lightfoot’s office said in a statement.
"However, when migrants arrived in Chicago there was no one there from the city to greet them or show them where to go next.". . .

Unhinged ‘Comedian’ Kathy Griffin Says Vote for Democrats in November or Expect Civil War
Though claiming to be a comedian, I find the responses to her by readers to be much funnier than anything she has said. Just saying. TD
"Comedian Kathy Griffin, who famously held up a bloody, fake model of Trump’s severed head in a photo after the 2016 election, is now warning anyone who will listen that you must vote Democrat in November or expect civil war.
"This is another example of how Biden’s horrific, un-American speech last week has emboldened people on the left.

It’s time to take back the rainbow
"The rainbow is being used as a hardcore leftist political signal but, whether it came into being through God or nature, it belongs to all of us.
"What, exactly, is a rainbow? At a scientific level, it’s the reflection, refraction, and dispersion of light through atmospheric water, creating an arc across the sky with all the colors of the spectrum. Biblically, it’s a promise that we will never again experience the flood that erased all of mankind, except for Noah’s ark.
And God said, This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations:
I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth.
And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud:
And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh. (Genesis 9-12-15.)
"Aesthetically, rainbows are one of the most beautiful things nature (or God) offers mankind:". . .
A young future Queen speaks to children during the Battle of Britain
Buckingham Palace was bombed during WWII (britishheritage.com) . . ."While of course King George and Queen Elizabeth were shaken by the bombing, the incident would actually go on to bolster the reputation of the Royal Family in the eye of the British public.
"The King and Queen were advised by the Foreign Office to immediately flee the country. Their steadfast refusal showed courage and a commitment to the United Kingdom that the public appreciated.
"In a statement to the nation, the Queen exclaimed 'The children will not leave unless I do. I shall not leave unless their father does, and the King will not leave the country in any circumstances, whatever'.
"This defiance in the face of the German Blitz gave the country a much-needed boost in their war efforts, and undoubtedly forged a sense of unity throughout the United Kingdom. ". . .
Cali’s nuttiness has only just begun under far-left Gov. Gavin Newsom
We must fear an electorate that chooses leaders such as these. TD
. . ."Cali’s nuttiness has only just begun under far-left Gov. Gavin Newsom, but already it’s wreaking havoc on the state’s economy. No sooner had California issued its new rules moving the state toward all electrical vehicles than it was slammed with record heat. The state then told EV owners not to charge their cars.
"Don’t charge your car? As a recent Newsweek headline blared, “California Wildfires, Blackout Fears Create Conflict for Electric Car Users.”
"What business would want to relocate to California or expand there if it can’t be guaranteed a steady, reliable supply of reasonably priced energy? The answer, of course, is no business would.
"The truth is, California is anything but a model for others to emulate. However, it is a perfect model for what other states — and the federal government, for that matter — should not do.". . .
California sits on enough energy-producing resources to power the entire country. By an order of magnitude.

How Blatant Anti-White Racism Won Acceptance in Elite America
. . .On Christmas Eve in 2016, just weeks before Trump took office, a Drexel University political science professor, George Ciccariello-Maher, pulled an attention-getting stunt on Twitter: “All I want for Christmas is white genocide.”
RealClearInvestigations "In a 2021 lecture at Yale University titled “The Psychopathic Problem of the White Mind,” psychiatrist Aruna Khilanani described her “fantasies of unloading a revolver into the head of any white person that got in my way, burying their body and wiping my bloody hands as I walked away relatively guiltless with a bounce in my step, like I did the world a favor.”
"Around the same time, a scholarly article in a peer-reviewed academic journal described “whiteness” as “a malignant, parasitic-like condition to which ‘white’ people have a particular susceptibility.” The author, Donald Moss, had also presented his paper as a continuing education course for licensed therapists who would presumably treat patients with this condition. The paper advises: “There is not yet a permanent cure.”
"This is a sampling of the new racism that is gaining purchase in American society even as its advocates relentlessly punish speech they deem harmful and threatening to people of color. It parallels the acceptance of anti-male rhetoric that casts masculinity as “predatory” and “toxic,” or just casually demeans males as oafish and clueless, which allows the Washington Post to give a megaphone to Northeastern University professor Suzanna Danuta Walters to ask: “Why can’t we hate men?” (Her conclusion: We can and we should.)". . ."The escalation of this inflammatory rhetoric is reaching the highest levels of American society, as when President Biden insinuated in a fiery campaign speech last week that Donald Trump supporters are “white supremacists” and when he maligned conservative mask skeptics last year for “Neanderthal thinking."
"What strikes a casual observer is that such language would be instantly denounced if it targeted racial minorities or other protected groups. Just as remarkable is that this new rhetoric is not coming from dropouts and loners at society’s margins; it is being advanced by successful professionals who have scaled the heights of respectability and are given a platform on social media and in prestigious cultural outlets.". . .

"Elizabeth II was never meant to be Queen. When she was born in April of 1926, she was unlikely to ever rule, as her father was the second son of the monarch. But when Edward VIII abdicated the throne and her father became King, Princess Elizabeth became the heir presumptive to the British throne.
"Now, she's the longest-reigning British monarch in history. In honor of this summer's Platinum Jubilee celebrations, take a look back at Princess Elizabeth's childhood through rare vintage photographs, family portraits, and candid snapshots.". . .
