Seems like a shortened week with Monday having been the 4th of July holiday, but here it is Hump Day already!

A Zuby pearl of wisdom…

Michael Walsh: THE COLUMN: Winter and the Fourth of July

Never give up—but never hesitate to change generals when you have to. To equate the fate of our Republic with one man’s loss—and, worse, to hold it hostage to his pique—is in absurd and dangerous. Scipio was a better general than Varro. Grant was a better general than McLellan. Ron DeSantis, 43, who has yet to put a foot wrong as governor of the free state of Florida, will be a far better general than Trump, who will be 78 years old in 2024. One geriatric president is enough.

Thanks to the Democrats’ Jan 6 hearings, and in particular to the unforced and artless testimony of Cassidy Hutchinson, Trump has been irremediably damaged. America doesn’t need a King Lear, railing about loyalty among a superannuated rum crew (Roger Stone, Rudy Giuliani) while a younger, stronger, better man awaits his turn on the national stage. Let us hope, and pray, that the trial balloons regarding an early announcement of a Trump 2024 candidacy, designed to cut the legs out from underneath any challengers, are just so much Fourth of July hot air, to be borne aloft and away before the last hot dog dies.

Fight on, but fight the next war, not the last one. Winter’s on its way, and while the graveyards may be full of indispensable men,  we’re not ready for the cemetery yet. Have a happy Independence Day, America, and many more—if you can keep it.

Jonathan W. Emord: The Unstoppable Force of Liberty

Astoundingly unselfish, the Founding Fathers pledged their lives, fortunes, and sacred honor so Americans of the newly minted United States could enjoy for all generations to come individual liberty, a right to live unmolested by government to the maximum extent possible. As Jefferson would later explain to Isaac H. Tiffany on April 4, 1819, the liberty contemplated was sweeping, with a sharp edge directed at the heart of government: “[R]ightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will, within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add ‘within the limits of the law’ because law is often but the tyrant’s will, and always so when it violates the right of an individual.”…

Perhaps the greatest compliment to the principles of liberty in the second paragraph of the Declaration came not from an American but from a Frenchman, one who at age 19 was lured to America from French aristocratic luxury by the cause of liberty, the righteousness of which entirely captivated him: General Gilbert Motier de Lafayette (the Marquis de Lafayette). In his letter to Bailli de Ploen, Lafayette wrote: “I have always loved liberty with the enthusiasm which actuates the religious man, with the passion of a lover, and with the conviction of a geometrician.” Lafayette served in the Continental Army without pay, commissioned Major General by the Continental Congress. He fought alongside Washington throughout the war, was wounded in the leg at the Battle of Brandywine, suffered the deprivations and hardships of Valley Forge with the great man, and celebrated with Washington the defeat of British General Lord Cornwallis at the Battle of Yorktown. After the Cornwallis surrender, Lafayette wrote: “Humanity has won its battle. Liberty now has a country.” Lafayette named his son George Washington in homage to his beloved mentor…

J6 Clown Court:

Julie Kelly: Another January 6 Lie: No ‘Armed Mob’: If January 6 was so bad, why do they have to keep lying about it?

Paul Gottfried: Mona’s Mendacious Moaning Over J6: Why should we care about punishing a former president after looking at the scoundrel who replaced him?

Richard McDonough: Bombshell Tonight: The Infamous Jan. 2, 2021, Trump-Raffensperger Phone Call: Despite those who quote a tiny part of the Trump-Raffensperger phone call in order to create the narrative that Trump wanted fellow Republican Raffensperger to cheat for him, the call makes very clear that Trump never asked for that and clearly believed he had won the state…

Just a note here, the stench of Hillary Clinton is on the Watergate mess as well as obviously the “Trump-Russia” bullshit and all the bullshit still being hurled at Trump…

Henry P. Wickham, Jr.: Watergate and the Corruption of the DC Judiciary

Among many lessons, Watergate shows us how power can corrupt and how investigations and legal processes can be abused. This is just what we saw with the case of Michael Flynn, among many others, post 2016, and as we now see with the selective and politically motivated prosecutions by the Biden Justice Department; Attorney General, Merritt Garland being every bit the light weight, political hack that John Sirica was.

Ya know what…

Victor Davis Hanson: Who Are the Real Insurrectionists? In truth, “insurrection” has been fueled by the Left since 2015. … VDH, like nobody else can, lays out the opening and closing statements and fully-loaded evidence in between on these last several years of truth and reality that nobody wants seen or heard.

Rick Moran: Carter-Era Economic Advisors Shooting Down All of Biden’s Ideas to Curb Inflation
