As of early July 9, 2020, police don’t know who tore a statue of Frederick Douglass from its base in a Rochester, NY, park and abandoned against a chain-link fence on the anniversary of his most famous anti-slavery speech. It wouldn’t make much sense if it were the same kind of protestors who vandalize statues of Confederate figures.
CNN.com highlights a list of racist stuff you say all the time — words and phrases that evoke our history of chattel slavery. Should we break these verbal links to our racist past?
Greg Gutfeld at Fox News labels the media “irredeemably evil” when ABC News tweets about a “luxury car” that attacks a crowd of peaceful Black lives matter protestors. Never mind the race or motivations of the driver…you know, the actual facts of the story that didn’t neatly fit the narrative.
Musician and entrepreneur Kanye West announces he’s running for President, and Tesla/SpaceX CEO Elon Musk tweets “You have my full support.” While most consider this a joke, or marketing ploy, if he sticks to it he can hurt Trump and Biden, but from whom does he take the most support?

Lauren Boebert, rookie candidate and the owner of Shooters Grill in Rifle, Colorado, where she encourages her staff to open carry firearms, just toppled five-time incumbent Republican Rep. Scott Tipton, despite the fact that President Trump backed Tipton. Boebert also gained local fame by refusing to comply with orders to shutdown her business for the COVID-19 pandemic.
As the official Democratic Party presses further to the extremes, backing monument destruction, and calling Mt. Rushmore a memorial to white supremacy, millions of patriotic, America-loving Democrats want to know where to go to get their party back.
A reporter asks Joe Biden whether he’s been tested for cognitive decline, and he dodges the question by saying he can’t wait to match his cognitive capability against that of our “very stable genius” incumbent President Donald Trump.
Governors, mayors and others talk about retreating to COVID-19 lockdowns in states, cities and counties nationwide, even though the data shows that mass lockdown was the wrong approach to stem the pandemic. COVID-19 is a picky eater, so instead of building a fence around everyone, we should isolate only the most vulnerable — the elderly and those who have certain conditions.
Bill Whittle examines the consequences of various scenarios around the explosive claim that Russia paid bounties to Taliban fighters to kill U.S. troops in Afghanistan.
Paul Waldman at The Washington Post says that Chief Justice John Roberts’ pro-abortion ruling in June Medical Services v. Russo at the Supreme Court this week may have saved Republicans 2020 election prospects, by muting pro-choice critics and damping their support for an uninspiring candidate named Joe Biden.
U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts this week helped the court’s “living document” caucus strike down a Louisiana law requiring abortion providers to have admitting privileges at a local hospital in June Medical Services v. Russo.
With the Supreme Court set to hear a ‘red state’ challenge to the Affordable Care Act (ACA) that could declare it unconstitutional after the repeal of the individual mandate penalty/tax, will SCOTUS Chief Justice John Roberts again ride to the rescue of Obamacare, or will it be Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and the GOP?
