Thanks to everyone for their concern about Freddy who was injured while performing his duties at Dulles airport. He was treated by his veterinarian, and is expected to make a full recovery. Here he is enjoying his favorite comfort treat - a Pup Cup! pic.twitter.com/g8phC2DDsT— CBP (@CBP) June 27, 2025
The Supreme Court’s ruling in Mahmoud v. Taylor is a major win for religious liberty and parental rights.
The Court rightfully held that schools can’t shut parents out or disregard their religious obligations to their children.

Join together in a few min (3:15)
to pray for our country and
dear FRens.
Contend, O LORD, with those who contend
with me; fight against those who fight
against me. Take up shield and buckler;
arise and come to my aid. Brandish spear
and javelin against those who pursue me.
Say to my soul, “I am your salvation.”
Psa. 35:1-3
Years ago I was returning from a det to Germany. We flew into Dulles and I may have a number of Cubans cigars stashed in my boots. As we landed the stews went through and collected food and especially fruit. She apparently saw this idiot with an apple, but he denied it. Freddy’s predecessor locked on to this stooge as we awaited customs. Guy lied again but the beagle got his way. Could’ve been a biological attack as the apple he possessed nobody would have ever purchased.
Customs opened up and I was having my second cold one in the bar when the idiot finally got through Customs. I saw one lane and everyone but apple-boy was in it. Hour and 45 mins later he emerged as he earned the special attention. I would have kicked his ass if he had booted that beagle. He would have never cleared customs.
IIRC - it would take about 5 times the world's known supply of gold just to provide liquidity for the US economy with none available for the rest of the world. That means no private gold, no rings, jewelry, religious art, none of that.
Remember, the FORM of money is irrelevant as long as it meets the three criteria I posted above.

To fully back the U.S. M1 money supply of $18.4559T at the current gold price of $2,600 per troy ounce, approximately 220,770 metric tons of gold would be required. This exceeds the total gold ever mined (205,000 metric tons) by about 7.7%, making it impossible without acquiring additional gold or revaluing the dollar-to-gold peg at a much lower rate.
All the gold EVER mined, including that later lost, would fit in a cube about 72 feet on the side. That's not that much gold, 205,000 metric tons (205 million kilograms). It is less than a fly speck in relation to the size of the planet.

In retrospect, I think the Trump/Elon public feud was 100% fabricated.
If Trump already had the deals in place with Saudi, Qatar, and UAE, back in May, and Trump knew he would have to pull off this maneuver, that would explain why Elon and Trump had their “fight” 2 weeks later, and BEFORE Trump destroyed Iran’s nuclear facilities.
Elon had to go back to the private sector, and did not want to seem like he was affiliated with the up and coming military operations, which would be understandably bad for business. Elon had to distance himself from the administration for optics purposes.
I believe Trump, and his team, knew that they were going to strike Iran, and staged the feud to create the illusion of distance between Elon and Trump, so Elon could make a smooth transition to the private sector.
Elon has been EXTREMELY quiet throughout this entire “12 Day War” and military operation. It’s not an accident.
He is distancing himself from the situation, and rightfully so.
Trump and Elon knew this was coming.
Cheeky bastards!

“Great cities fall to the sound of cheering crowds.” Ami Kozak on “X”
The Democratic Party put another bullet in its head this week with the election of the charming, affable jihadi communist Zohran Mamdani. Is “communist” too harsh a label? (He styles himself, softly, a “socialist.”) Yet his campaign platform looks like a template from the venerable Soviet Council of Ministers circa 1957: Free Everything: housing, buses and subways, college, child-care, government food stores. . . with a cherry-on-top of replacing police with social workers in high crime areas — because rapists and car-jackers would quit their rowdy ways if only they could talk about their feelings.

I'm the same way. Being on vacation, especially far, far from home, is a time to be in the moment, not on social media. Try reading a book!
In fact, I find it hard to get back in the groove after a long trip but some people can never give it up.

Peter Orszag Says Democrats Increasingly Hate Jews And Capitalism After New York City Mayoral Primary
Peter Orszag, a businessman and ex-Obama official, claimed Thursday that the Democratic Party was in peril of becoming an anti-capitalist and antisemitic party.
“Let me step back and just say that I am saddened to say that I think the Democratic Party is becoming increasingly antisemitic and anti-capitalism,” Orszag said. “And the thing about it is turning … towards socialism and turning away from your moral principles through antisemitism never works. So there is a fundamental concern that I have and I think many people have about the direction of the Democratic Party along those two dimensions.”
The court’s decision did not determine whether President Donald Trump’s birthright citizenship executive order ran afoul of the citizenship clause of the 14th Amendment. Instead, it found that the lower courts likely lacked the authority to impose universal injunctions and instead limited them to protect the plaintiff parties.

FBI Back To Nabbing ‘Violent Criminals’ After Biden-Era Politicization
The FBI arrested 62% more “violent criminals” in the first five months of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 following President Donald Trump’s return to office, Deputy Director Dan Bongino said Thursday.
Trump’s FBI has arrested 14,000 violent suspects, including cartel leaders, child predators and anti-deportation rioters, Bongino announced in a Thursday X post. The former conservative media host celebrated the numbers as indicative of a return to proper FBI priorities after the Biden administration frequently launched politically-charged criminal probes.

Senator Goes Scorched Earth Against Unelected Bureaucrat Undermining Trump’s Bill
Republican Alabama Sen. Tommy Tuberville became the first GOP senator to advocate for Senate Parliamentarian Elizabeth MacDonough’s ouster on Thursday morning, just hours after she struck initial Medicaid reforms from Senate Republicans’ budget bill.
Tuberville, who is running for the Alabama governorship, called on Senate Majority Leader John Thune to fire MacDonough for nixing provisions from the Senate’s version of President Donald Trump’s “big, beautiful” bill that would have prohibited Medicaid funding for child sex-change procedures and banned the use of federal Medicaid dollars to cover noncitizens. MacDonough, an unelected official who helps lawmakers interpret Senate procedure, has struck 47 provisions from the president’s sweeping tax and immigration bill thus far.

The regime in Iran is already executing Iranians who support Israel, and we in all the Western world need to understand who we’re dealing with in this regime. The only option for a safer and more secure Middle East is regime change, even if it’s not us (Israel) who does it. The best chance for change is support for the Iranian people through an international coalition.
