A dog day in summer, not all that much of significance happening. From Althouse, "If you can merge gaming with aviation, why not?". Laura Ingraham @IngrahamAngle, " 2,000+ Gamers Hired for AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL @SecDuffy : “They multitask. They have to think on their feet. They work with their hands and their eyes, and they’re making great controllers… We had 14,000 applicants, 8,000 qualified. We were getting the best and the brightest.”" Sundance at CTH contributes Trade Court Rules U.S. President Can Set De Minimis Rules/Rates and Foreign Nations Cannot Interfere, Canadian Trade Officials Threaten to Leave USMCA Trade Talks if Trump Triggers 50 Percent Tariffs and The Southern Murkowski Wins SC Primary – Heads into Runoff Against Ralph Norman. I've nothing bad about Darlene Graham, but I'm generally against nepotism. If she was a good politician, she'd already be one. Peter Navarro to Newsmax: China Dodging US Tariffs. If they can, they will. Another from Althouse, "The right-wing De la Espriella, who was inaugurated last week, pledged during his campaign to bring the 'wrath of God' against drug traffickers and other armed groups to 'end them like cockroaches, like rats.'" "From "Colombia’s new president asks Trump to bring militarized antidrug campaign to the country/The South American nation is the world’s largest producer of cocaine" (WaPo)." Yeah, but you have to put in the effort, too. A day late, Ace notices Karoline Leavitt Will Leave Her Job as WH Spokeswoman at the End of the Month, "She says she wants to mother her new baby, and for once I believe the "spend more time with my family" line." TownHall's Kurt Schlichter opines The Doomers Can’t Deny Trump’s Big Wins "don’t spaz out like a teenage girl whose parents just read her diary about what President Donald Trump has accomplished so far."

Capt. Ed parodies Pollsters in WI, MI: It Wasn't Us – It Was the One-Armed Voter! "So what actually happened? Axios attempts to pass along a series of excuses in a "here's why" piece, but it reads more like a litany of blame-shifting for an industry that has consistently failed to predict outcomes. Or even come close, for that matter." Dave Strom at Hat Hair thinks that This Isn't Suspicious: MI SOS Requires Deletion of Election Records One Week After Certification, despite a federal law require votes in a federal election to be held 22 months. Kevin Kijewski @KevinKijewski, "PICK A CRIME: That's the choice Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson handed my client, a township clerk. A new state rule Benson made orders my client to DELETE the electronic poll book records of the August 4 primary within 7 days of certification. What’s the problem? Federal law orders her to KEEP those same records for 22 months, into 2028. Delete them? Face up to 1 year of imprisonment under federal law. Refuse? Up to 90 days imprisonment under Michigan law. Every path carries a penalty aimed at my client personally. For trying to follow the law..."
John Sexton sees Mamdani's Rent Freeze Is Going As Well As Expected. Scott Pinsker at PJM opens The Gentleman’s Guide to Destroying the DSA, Humiliating El-Sayed, and Saving America! "But now that we know El-Sayed can’t resist taking the bait and flushing his happy-happy-joy-joy image down the toilet when the alternative is appearing weak or “different,” the GOP ought to make a beeline in that direction. That’s our PR sweet spot — and Abdul El-Sayed’s biggest vulnerability." Dave Strom, Oh, Joy! 'Diverse' Somali Child Care Owner Wins Democrat Primary for State House Seat in Rural MN. At least the sign was spelled right. Benny Johnson @bennyjohnson, "The most dangerous thing Republicans can do is underestimate candidates like AOC in 2028. We need to focus on addressing the issues that are attracting voters to them instead of dismissing their concerns. Time to get serious." Quote Polymarket @Polymarket, "BREAKING: AOC overtakes Marco Rubio in the 2028 presidential odds for the first time this year, moving into second place. 13% chance AOC wins the White House." James Lindsay, anti-Communist @ConceptualJames, "I once again see socialism being caused by the perception of downward mobility among privileged children of relatively wealthy people."
From Breitbart, Democrat CA Gov. Nominee Xavier Becerra Blinks, Calls for Paramount-Warner Settlement, as Paramount threatens to leave the state. Beege Welborn thinks she detects Some of the Bloom Coming Off That Faded Becerra Rose. "Becerra now has the support of 55% of likely voters, down from 61% in last month, according to a Berkeley Institute of Governmental Studies/Los Angeles Times poll. Hilton, meanwhile, has edged up one point, from 36% to 37%, shrinking Becerra’s once-commanding 25-point lead to 18 points." I'd like to believe California can better itself, but it's hard. Justine Bateman @JustineBateman, "LOL. Your comparison between these two cities is very significant. Detroit's main industry of automotive production was destroyed and left the town hollowed out. The same thing is happening with Los Angeles. The entertainment business has been steadily drained from this place for at least a decade. LA will soon be hollowed out just like Detroit. It is becoming just sprawling city with no central industry at all." Quote Gavin Newsom @GavinNewsom, "Detroit and Los Angeles have a lot in common — cities defined by resilience, reinvention, and generations of Black and Brown leadership. And both have been targeted by Donald Trump because of it. Grateful to sit down with Black leaders to talk about building economic power..."

The Russiagate Hoax Looks Even Worse After These FBI Revelations "The White House Government Transparency Task Force
released a trove of intelligence community records on Wednesday, including a recovered FBI spreadsheet. It cataloged more than six dozen prominent Americans, foreigners, and organizations tied to the Biden-Ukraine scandal and Donald Trump's 2019 impeachment. Democrats, including the Bidens, Hillary Clinton, John Kerry, Barack Obama, and George Soros, were labeled "targets" of Russian disinformation. Conservatives investigating the Bidens, including Fox News, One America News, Michael Caputo, and Rudy Giuliani, were branded "conduits" spreading it. It gets worse. The FBI also tagged Trump's own Cabinet officials, Bill Barr and Mike Pompeo, along with Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), then-Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.), and Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), as disinformation "conduits." For what? Investigating whether the Biden corruption allegations were true. The FBI's Foreign Influence Task Force signed off on every single assessment."

"The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) today released a report Wolves in White Coats: How Doctors and Hospitals Pushed and Profited from the Fraud of “Gender Medicine'..." "... a commissioned report examining insurance coding practices, perverse financial incentives, and the provision of sex-rejecting procedures for minors. Drawing on Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Guidance, Department of Justice (DOJ) investigations, peer-reviewed scientific literature, hospital records, whistleblower testimony, nationwide insurance claims analyses, and interviews with patients and parents, the report presents HHS’ findings and recommendations about the industry pushing and profiting off so-called “gender medicine.” A

The chances are quite high that virtually every gender clinic and doctor in America already has a long backlog of criminal acts that will be trivially easy to discover — and that now will be found and prosecuted." Quote Eithan Haim MD @EithanDHaimMD, "The critical detail to understand about the HHS Report, especially the section on healthcare fraud, is that the "signals" are remarkably easy to identify. The list of fraudulent diagnoses are widely advertised by gender activists, easily detectable through publicly available."
