Sorry I didn’t get to this earlier – got busy writing on Ghost Tower (Book X) last night and then had to be up and busy early as our 4th barbecue went off earlier than usual due to part of the family having flight plans in the afternoon. Anyways: hope its all been great for you! No fingers blown off or nothing.

The Democrats went heavy into “we’re all on stolen land and America was built by slaves” for their July 4th messaging…which probably doesn’t appeal to a lot of demographics but I don’t think they really care about that. This is what I’m calling the Pudding Brain Effect. With an entirely ineffective man on top, there’s nobody to ride herd on these nitwits and so they just go further and further Left and are louder and louder about it. We know the Left despises the United States – and this includes people on the Left like the Clintons and the Obamas – but under their leadership it was kept muted. Back of the class; nobody shouting it. All in good time, as it were. But now the nuts are front and center. We’ll see how it plays out.

It really comes down to just how many people still believe TV. If its a majority, the Democrats will win no matter how insane they get because the TV simply will not tell people what is going on. If, however, a majority has come to mistrust the TV, then we might have a surprising result…and it could be the growing insanity of the Left which finally turns the tide. Nobody wants what the Left is selling other than a very small minority living in some of the deepest Blue cities and insulated from the disastrous effects of Left policy.

Word is that cocaine was found in the White House. I find it hard to believe that any such thing could get in without someone high up knowing about it. No, the Secret Service wouldn’t search Hunter’s suitcase…but they would be aware of what is in it. They have to be: a threat to the President can come from any direction. The Service is good at keeping Presidential secrets – they have to be in order for the President to trust them – so it isn’t like they’ll talk about the exact circumstances of such a thing…but they simply had to know. Or someone high up had to know. So, my question: is someone high up in Team Pudding Brain setting him up for a fall? Someone co-opted by Team Harris or some other faction in Democrat leadership to usher in Biden’s downfall in return for some benefit afterwards?

Officially – ie, in the MSM Narrative – Pudding Brain is cruising to re-election against a divided and weak GOP. This is something I thought was correct as little as a few weeks ago. But now I’m not so sure: things seem to be shifting. Biden is reaching new lows in approval polls. The Culture War stuff is turning off lots of people from the Democrats. Some Democrats might be looking at the situation and starting to think that if Joe is the nominee, even Trump might get back in…and a Trump who will be burning for revenge. But even if it is DeSantis, he’s already declared war on the Establishment. Truth be told, any GOPer who is elected will have to gut the Establishment simply in order to survive in office. The Democrats might be getting terrified…and in a mood to knock Joe out. We’ll see.

Muslims in France are on a rampage – officially in response to a Muslim being shot by the cops. Who the heck really knows? But the barbarians are now burning down libraries. They’ve also defaced Holocaust memorials.

Guys, the area known today as Algeria wasn’t known as the Barbary Coast for nothing back in the day. In fact, the reason the French moved into Algeria in the 1830s was to suppress the barbarian pirates who infested the area and who lacked all control as Ottoman power withdrew. From the fall of Rome until the French conquest Algeria was a miserable, impoverished backwater populated by thieves and slavers. The French mission was to civilize the land – and they did so. In the century after the French conquest massive development was set afoot with a revival of art, architecture and learning in Algeria. But nobody likes an outsider overlord so the Muslim population remained aloof. Eventually turning to armed rebellion…but not just any armed rebellion. It was quite savage – and the people treated most brutally by the rebels were Algerians who either preferred to remain French or at least wanted some sort of compromise between French and Algerian culture. The French eventually threw in the towel and simply handed power over to their most barbaric enemies. Small surprise that Algerians, transported to France, are not quite up to French standards; and less surprise that when angered, they turn specifically against defenseless people and symbols of civilization.

I don’t know how France gets out of this mess. Don’t know if France can get out of this mess. Its all very sad – and it all stems from simple lack of courage.
