Nigel Farage can retire now. Laurence Fox is here to save the kingdom.I will campaign for people to feel empowered to smoke, drink, eat fast food, get really fat, buy massive chocolate bars whilst pretending it’s for sharing if they want to, and for it to be no one else’s sodding business.

ITEM 1: The Daily Caller reported, "The Biden administration aims to send $861 million to Central American countries to address causes of mass migration to the U.S., according to the budget released Friday.
My guess is Chairman Joe wants these governments to send more illegal aliens.
ITEM 2: The Wall Street Journal reported, "West Virginia Gov. Jim Justice is personally on the hook for nearly $700 million in loans his coal companies took out from now-defunct Greensill Capital, according to people familiar with the loans and documents described to The Wall Street Journal.
"Mr. Justice’s personal guarantee of the loans, which hasn’t been reported, puts financial pressure on the popular Republican governor. He is also dealing with unrelated lawsuits alleging parts of his sprawling network of coal companies breached payment contracts or failed to deliver coal.
"Greensill packaged the loans and sold them to investment funds managed by Credit Suisse Group AG . Credit Suisse and Greensill ran $10 billion in supply-chain finance funds that extended financing to a range of borrowers.
"The Swiss bank froze the investment funds in March and is in talks with Mr. Justice’s Bluestone Resources Inc. and other borrowers to recoup money to make investors whole, according to the people familiar with the discussions. Credit Suisse is under pressure to recover money quickly and has named Bluestone as one of three large borrowers from the Greensill funds that it has identified in its recovery efforts.
"Bluestone hadn’t expected to begin repaying the Greensill loans until 2023 at the earliest, it said in a lawsuit brought in March in a New York federal court alleging Greensill committed fraud in its lending practices."
Never co-sign or personally guarantee a loan.
ITEM 3: Popsci reported, "Low testosterone levels in men are associated with more severe COVID-19 symptoms, according to a new study from researchers at the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, offering a clue about why men seem to fare worse than women with the virus.
"While men account for less than half of all COVID-19 cases in the US (47.8%) according to the CDC, they make up 54.2% of COVID-19 deaths. In other countries, the disparity is much starker—men represent 73% and 70% of fatalities in China and Italy respectively, according to one paper."
Men with low testosterone levels are the hardest hit?
Red China targeted Democrats when they made this virus.
ITEM 4: MSN reported, "In yet another unanimous opinion as the current term draws to a close, the Supreme Court of the United States ruled Tuesday against asylum-seeking immigrants in the companion cases of Garland v. Dai and Garland v. Alcaraz-Enriquez (previously captioned Rosen v. Dai and Rosen v. Alcaraz-Enriquez, respectively). The cases presented a procedural question that promises to have a profound impact on the cases of individuals seeking asylum in the United States.
"The Court decided 9-0 that an appellate court must not presume an immigrant’s testimony to be credible when a lower court did not specifically address that person’s credibility. In a 15-page opinion, Justice Neil Gorsuch repeatedly derided the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit for its practice of taking immigrants at their word when they are not entitled to such deference.
"To be granted asylum, an immigrant must file a petition claiming their 'life or freedom would be threatened' on account of 'the alien’s race, religion, nationality, membership in particular social group, or political opinion.' If such a petition satisfies the fact-finding immigration court, then U.S. law mandates that the person must not be removed from American soil."
Cesar Alcaraz-Enriquez sought asylum, but MSN reported, "The probation report indicated that Mr. Alcaraz Enriquez locked his 17-year-old girlfriend in his bedroom one evening, caught her trying to escape, dragged her back into the room, threatened to stab her and dump her body in a dumpster, and forced her to have sex with him. The next morning, he beat the young woman, leaving bruises on her back, neck, arms, and legs—stopping only when she begged for her life. Later that evening, when she asked to leave, he dragged her out, threw her against the stairs, and kicked her as she rolled down. Her ordeal lasted nearly 24 hours."
Sounds like he deserves a loss of freedom for 10 to 15 years in prison.
ITEM 5: WSAZ reported, "West Virginia Governor Jim Justice has announced new incentives for getting the COVID-19 vaccine."
The story said, "On June 20, they will be giving away two full four-year scholarships to any institution in West Virginia to kids that are ages 12-25. They will also be giving away two brand new custom outfitted Rocky Ridge F-150 trucks, 25 weekend getaways to state parks and five life-time hunting and fishing licenses. Five custom hunting rifles and five custom hunting shotguns will also be given away."
Shotguns, rifles, and trucks but no Bentleys.
Shucks.
ITEM 6: The New York Times alleged, "California’s Monarch Butterflies Are Down 99%."
If true, even the insects are leaving that rathole.
ITEM 7: The Washington Times reported, "Condoleezza Rice said Tuesday that former President Donald Trump was able to rise to the presidency without ever holding public office because he was able to speak directly to people who felt left out by globalization and diminished by elitists.
Rice said, "What really struck me, and maybe because I’m a political scientist, is the conditions that produced a populist leader who had never been in government before was something I think that a lot of us had not paid much attention to, frankly."
Thank you, Professor Obvious. You are only 6 years behind the curve.
ITEM 8: National Review said, "Congresswoman Nicole Malliotakis (R., N.Y.) has proposed new legislation that would ban Black Lives Matter and political flags from flying at United States embassies around the globe.
"This new bill, the Stars and Stripes Act, was co-sponsored by Representatives Ken Buck of Colorado, Michael Guest of Mississippi, Darrell Issa of California, Brian Mast of Florida, Pete Sessions of Texas, and new House GOP Conference chair Elise Stefanik of New York."
I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
No other flags are necessary.
ITEM 9: The Washington Free Beacon reported, "The Iranian regime is giving Hamas terrorists resources to produce thousands of new rockets in the Gaza Strip, according to a new report in Tehran’s state-controlled media.
"Following a two-week-long war with Israel this month in which Hamas and other terror groups bombarded the Jewish state with missiles funded and provided by Iran, Hamas is moving to restock its weapons cache."
To absolutely no one's surprise. Chairman Joe buying Iranian oil -- a first for the USA since 1991 -- helped make this possible.
ITEM 10: Republicans should never give NBC even the time of day.
An apology is in order, but not expected.WHAT THE HELL is this MSNBC???

ITEM 11: Reuters reported, "Florida on Tuesday became the latest and largest U.S. state to ban transgender girls and women from participating in female sports at schools, part of a campaign in statehouses nationwide this year assailed as discriminatory by equal rights activists.
"Republican Governor Ron DeSantis, who is closely aligned with former President Donald Trump, enacted the law on the first day of Pride Month, which celebrates the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer community.
"DeSantis signed the bill at an event at a Christian school in Jacksonville where he was flanked by several teenage women athletes. He said the law, which states participation rules for public high schools and universities, was needed to ensure fairness for women participating in sports across the state."
Born this way. Deal with it.
ITEM 12: Campus reform reported, "Kate Slater, Assistant Dean of Graduate Student Affairs at Brandeis University, posted on Instagram that 'all White people are racist' and that she 'hate[s] Whiteness.'
"The post has been taken down and the account made private after Slater’s initial posting in May."
If all white people are born racist, then under the LGBTQ and BIPOC rules, you just have to accept it.
Born this way. Deal with it.
ITEM 13: The New York Daily News reported, "Manhattan’s Billionaires’ Row will soon feature a men’s homeless shelter smack-bang in the middle of it despite a three-year offensive to halt its creation by members of the city’s elite, the New York Court of Appeals has ruled.
"Residents of the city’s priciest street fought tooth and nail to halt Mayor de Blasio’s $60.8 million plan to open a 150-bed men’s shelter in the closed Park Savoy Hotel at 158 W. 58th St., arguing the location would be a dangerous “firetrap” and that crime would inevitably ensue on the ritzy block."
All of them voted for him, too.
ITEM 14: The Daily News also reported, "Casey Anthony is tired of 'getting drinks thrown in her face,' according to a police report.
"Anthony, famously acquitted of murder in the 2008 death of her young daughter, Caylee, informed investigators of the ongoing issue following an incident at a Florida bar called O’Shea’s Irish Pub. The once-accused killer called police to the West Palm Beach watering hole on Sunday after a tense run-in with a former friend, later identified as Thelma Moya, the police report stated."
Please stop this.
That is good booze you are wasting.
ITEM 15: Road & Track reported, "Ford's 7.3-liter naturally aspirated "Godzilla" V-8 is one of the more interesting powerplants on sale today. Available in a selection of full-sized Ford trucks and also as a crate motor, it delivers 430 horsepower and 475 lb-ft of torque without the help of forced induction. If this latest report from Ford Authority is to be believed, Ford could be testing a twin-turbo version of the Godzilla engine.
"Ford Authority, citing unnamed sources familiar with the automaker's researched and development projects, says Ford has already begun testing on a twin-turbo version of the massive 7.3-liter push-rod motor in at least two Ford Super Duty trucks. There aren't any pictures of the trucks in question, but Ford Authority says they've been fitted with heat shields on each corner of the front end and modified hoods.
"It's not clear at this time why Ford would want to design a twin-turbo version of the Godzilla motor, or what sorts of vehicles the engine would power. What we do know is the setup is fully capable of taking on massive amounts of boost, with stock internals able to produce over 1000 horsepower with aftermarket bolt-on kits. Tuners who have swapped out internals for stronger pieces have seen custom supercharged versions of the 7.3 make nearly 1500 horsepower."
Oh no.
There goes my vehicle.
Go-go-Godzilla.
And here's the deal. I buy one of those Super Duty trucks and swap engines with the GT.
Almost as good as a 12-cylinder Bentley.
ITEM 16: Deadline reported, "Disney Hit With Sexual Orientation Discrimination Suit By ABC Signature VP On First Day Of Pride Month."
Looks like Gay Days at Disney World were not enough.
FINALLY, a reader sent me this from Oscar Fernandez, who reported, "The Department of the Navy is now assigning females to quarters in separate, private, off limits areas on all aircraft carriers.
"While addressing all personnel at Pearl Harbor, CINCPAC advised, 'Female sleeping quarters will be out of bounds for all males. Anyone breaking this rule will be fined $50 the first time. Anyone caught breaking this rule the second time will be fined $150. Being caught a third time will cost you a fine of $500. Are there any questions?'
"At this point, a US Marine from the security detail assigned to a ship stood up in the crowd and inquired: 'How much for a season pass?'
"God Bless the Marine Corps!"
