ITEM 1: Just the News reported, "Dr. Anthony Fauci, the United States' top infections disease expert, resisted a directive from President Trump to cancel a research grant for a non-profit that was linked to the Wuhan Institute of Virology, according to a new book detailing the Trump administration's handling of COVID-19 pandemic.
"Trump issued a directive to Fauci and the National Institutes of Health in April 2020 to cut funding for a study examining how coronaviruses jump from infected bats to humans after it was reportedly linked to the lab in Wuhan, suspected of having leaked the virus."
This was not resistance but insubordination and sedition as Tony Fauci ignored a lawful, direct order. President Donald John Trump failed to fire Fauci. We need to call Fauci what he is: an agent of Red China.
ITEM 2: The Telegraph reported, "Joe Biden, the US president, has been accused of having emboldened Russia as sources told The Telegraph that the US decided against sailing close to Crimea alongside the British.
"The Telegraph can reveal that while US Laboon, an American destroyer, has recently been operating with HMS Defender and the Dutch frigate HNLMS Evertsen in the Black Sea, it was 'many hundreds of miles away" when the two vessels travelled within 12 miles of Crimea’s shoreline on Wednesday.
"The navigation triggered a confrontation with Russia, which scrambled jets and fired warning shots, and a diplomatic clash at a time of rising tensions over Ukraine’s sovereignty.
"Russia annexed Ukraine’s Crimean Peninsula in 2014, a move not recognized by most countries, gaining access to its long Black Sea coast. Russia has chafed at NATO warships visiting near Crimea as destabilizing. In April, it declared a broader area off Crimea closed to foreign naval ships."
Russia seized Crimea under Obama.
Trump took tough sanctions against Russia.
Biden lifted those.
Any questions as to whom Putin's puppets really are?
ITEM 3: Summertime, and the news is slower than Chris Cillizza at CNN.
Love was on the 2012 team as well. Rose never made the team. As a judge in the court of public opinion, I sentence Rose to 8 hours of community service watching reruns of White Shadow.ESPN’s Jalen Rose said Kevin Love was on the Olympic team as a token white guy because the United States was afraid to send an all black team. Aside from being racist, the US sent an all black team to the Olympics in 2016. ESPN gonna ESPN, y’all. https://t.co/6NuKmeVz3H

ITEM 4: Chris Cillizza wrote, "When Joe Biden would talk on the 2020 campaign trail about the need to rekindle bipartisanship in Washington and his unique ability derived from decades in the Senate to make it happen, there were lots of eye rolls.
"It felt to many (myself included) like a bit of nostalgia on Biden’s part, nostalgia based on a fundamental misunderstanding of How Politics Works, or, more accurately, doesn’t work. Maybe in the 1970s bipartisanship was possible, we all said. But that was 50 years ago.
"Then Biden proved us wrong."
I knew it was Cillizza when I read the headline. He is the Jalen Rose of political pundits.
President Trump succeeded in passing a bipartisan crime reform bill that led to the early release of thousands of black inmates, as well as a few white ones.
Numerous other examples include every bill that Reagan and Bush 41 signed into law because Democrats controlled the House. The partisanship came when Biden was vice president and Obama Democrats went solo in passing Obamacare. Trump returned the favor with his tax cuts.
ITEM 5: Trending Politics reported, "During a press conference on Thursday, President Joe Biden stopped talking normally to whisper into his microphone about how much he is spending.
"Biden was trying to brag about how much money he was spending but the comments came across as creepy considering he was whispering into the microphone."
The volume does not matter because everything he says is creepy.
ITEM 6: The Epoch Times reported, "The New York Supreme Court suspended former Mayor Rudy Giuliani’s law license for making what it described as false statements following the Nov. 3 election.
"The court ruled on June 24 that Giuliani made 'false and misleading statements to courts, lawmakers, and the public at large in his capacity as lawyer for former President Donald J. Trump and the Trump campaign.'"
Democrats continue down the path toward criminalizing dissent.
ITEM 7: Just a reminder that on Wednesday, Josef Biden threatened to nuke dissenters.
He said, "The Second Amendment, from the day it was passed, limited the type of people who could own a gun and what type of weapon you could own. You couldn’t buy a cannon. Those who say the blood of lib- — ‘the blood of patriots,’ you know, and all the stuff about how we’re going to have to move against the government. Well, the tree of liberty is not watered with the blood of patriots.
"What’s happened is that there have never been — if you wanted or if you think you need to have weapons to take on the government, you need F-15s and maybe some nuclear weapons."
No Republican and no pundit has called him out.
He may be demented, but he still has the ability to launch a nuclear strike.
On Poca, West Virginia.
ITEM 8: CNBC reported, "The Federal Reserve announced Thursday that the biggest U.S. banks could easily withstand a severe recession, a milestone for the once-beleaguered industry.
"The Fed, in releasing the results of its annual stress test, said all 23 institutions in the 2021 exam remained well above minimum required capital levels during a hypothetical economic downturn. Bank shares popped after the release; the KBW Bank Index rose 1.5% at 5 p.m.
"That scenario included a severe global recession that hits commercial real estate and corporate debt holders and peaks at 10.8% unemployment and a 55% drop in the stock market, the central bank said. While the industry would post $474 billion in losses, loss-cushioning capital would still be more than double the minimum required levels, the Fed said."
You see, our banks are as solid as Enron, er, Lehman Brothers, er, Solyndra.
ITEM 9: The German wire service DPA reported, "Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban was welcomed at a Brussels summit on Thursday with a barrage of criticism from EU partners over a freshly passed law that restricts young people's access to portrayals of LGBT issues.
"The bill, signed into law by the Hungarian president late on Wednesday, restricts children's and young people's access to books, films and other forms of content showing anything other than heterosexuality or birth-assigned gender identities.
"Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte said that Hungary should leave -- or be made to leave -- the European Union if it didn't adhere to basic values of the bloc."
That is a tempting offer. What began as a common market has devolved into an anti-Christian bureaucratic nightmare. Hungary left the Soviet bloc, only to be associated with these blockheads.
ITEM 10: Reuters reported, "Rescue crews near Miami combed through tons of rubble on Thursday for anyone who may have survived the predawn collapse of part of an oceanfront residential tower, with officials reporting at least one person found dead and nearly 100 more missing.
"Sally Heyman, a Miami-Dade County Commissioner, said officials have been unable to make contact with 51 individuals who supposedly live in the building, home to a mix of people including families and part-time snow bird residents who spend the winter months in Florida.
"Miami-Dade Police Director Freddy Ramirez later told reporters that 99 people were unaccounted for and that 53 others whose whereabouts were initially unknown have since been located, though he did not make clear whether everyone in the second group was alive."
This is a tragedy.
Beware of any talk of causes because initial media narratives are seldom correct.
ITEM 11: Fox reported, "Partiers celebrating Juneteenth in Northern California were seen blocking an ambulance, with a woman twerking atop the vehicle, despite responders trying to navigate through the scene to transport victims of a shooting in which one person was killed and several others were injured.
"The Oakland Police Department believes Saturday's shooting at Lake Merritt was gang-related and multiple shooters are being sought, the department said Monday. An estimated 5,000 people were gathered near where the incident occurred in the 2200 block of Lakeshore Avenue just after 6:20 p.m., police said.
"A 22-year-old San Francisco man was killed and seven people were injured, police said. The victims range in age from 16 to their mid-60s and are in stable condition, Oakland Police Chief LeRonne Armstrong told reporters Monday."
The band Public Enemy complained in a song 31 years ago that 9-1-1 is a joke in your town.
This is why.
ITEM 12: National Review reported, "Republicans Are on the Verge of Giving Up All Their Negotiating Power."
The Charleys-in-the-Box on the Island of Misfit Never Trumpers are upset because Republicans agreed to a plan to spend money on infrastructure.
Actually, Republicans are using their negotiating leverage to get some of what they want and to reduce what the Democrats take. It is called compromise. It is how we set Congress up.
From Lincoln's support of a transcontinental railroad, to Coolidge's support of levees and dams, to Eisenhower's interstates and St. Lawrence Seaway, Republicans have always initiated and supported improving America's infrastructure.
The fellow who wrote this graduated from Oxford. I suggest a remedial course in American history is in order.
ITEM 13: Humans Are Free reported, "AmazonSmile Charities: 4 Satanism And Witchcraft Groups, 15 Abortion Groups, 21 Black Lives Matter Groups, 64 Planned Parenthood Affiliates, 3 Marxist Groups, 107 Church Of Scientology Affiliates, Etc."
I am not surprised.
Oh, and Amazon screens its charities and bans "hate groups."
ITEM 14: The Liberty Daily reported, "The nation of Israel, a tiny country the size of New Jersey, would be completely indefensible if it ever gave up control of the Golan Heights. It took a miracle and some pretty clever military tactics to assume control of the area in the first place and with today’s weapons capabilities in the hands of Israel’s enemies, losing the Golan Heights would be the nation’s death sentence.
"President Trump had made it official in recognizing the Golan Heights as a permanent part of the nation of Israel. But rumors have been spreading since February that Joe Biden’s administration would reverse the policy and would not back claims by Israel when push comes to shove at the United Nations."
Israel has been a loyal ally. It took out Iraq's nuke program 40 years ago.
Democrats hate Israel.
Iran has shouted Death To America for more than 40 years.
Democrats love Iran and got angry when Trump took out the general who headed Iran's terrorism program.
ITEM 15: Newsbreak reported, "Three people were arrested after authorities said they beat and strangled an Illinois police officer during a traffic stop on Monday.
"Jennifer Taylor, 24, Sheba Taylor, 26, and Paul Sherrod, 28, have each been charged with aggravated battery, aggravated strangling, resisting or obstructing a police officer, and aggravated assault of a police officer, all of which carry felony penalties, the Aurora Police Department announced on Wednesday."
The suspects are black.
Democrats encourage this violence because they believe ultimately it will destroy the country. They would rather rule in hell than serve in the USA.
ITEM 16: He is doing everything he can except the one thing he should.

ITEM 17: The Daily Mail reported, "CNN anchor Brian Stelter's wife Jamie Shupak Stelter has been accused of bullying colleagues and creating a toxic work environment akin to a 'den of vipers' at her TV station New York 1.
"NY1 insiders painted a damning portrait of Stelter, 37, in a bombshell New York Magazine report published this week about years of turmoil within the station.
"The report describes how Stelter became a fan favorite when she joined NY1 in 2010 as a traffic reporter, prompting a New York Times profile entitled, 'Stuck in Traffic? A Star is Born.'"
(Brian Stelter was with NYT at the time.)
The story also said, "Particularly disturbing, former reporters said, was the way the two co-hosts treated former weather anchor Stacy Ann Gooden, who was hired in 2017.
"Ten current and former employees of the company reportedly told the magazine that Stelter and co-host Annika Pergament would talk disparagingly about Gooden, and she was often ostracized from the rest of the group, excluded from meetings and left out of roundtable discussions on the set."
Gooden is black.
She left the station after that.
ITEM 18: Sanctuary Counties reported, "There are now 1,930 counties that are protected by Second Amendment Sanctuary legislation at either the state or county level. This represents 61.39% of all of the counties in the United States of America. Strangely, as was recently pointed out by Lee Williams, The Gun Writer, the media seems to be ignoring this movement still, for the most part. We have seen plenty of news about Constitutional Carry, which is another movement that we are actually quite supportive of. Yet the mainstream news has remained relatively silent regarding the massive Second Amendment Sanctuary movement, which leads us to a few questions."
Good.
Now do Babies in the Womb sanctuaries.
ITEM 19: News Spin reported, "Spotify bans Safe Space song, that has the opening lyrics, 'They might ban me for this song.'"
The story is at Reclaim the Internet.
ITEM 20: WESH-TV reported, "A 26-year-old police officer has been wounded in a shooting near the area of Kingston Avenue in Daytona Beach, officials told WESH 2 News.
"Officials said Officer Jason Raynor was approaching a suspicious vehicle on Kingston Avenue when he was shot by the suspect, who then took off.
"Raynor, who was shot in the head, was taken to Halifax Health Medical Center.
"Officials say Raynor is out of surgery and in critical condition, and has shown some improvement."
The suspect is Othal Wallace, 29.
Heavy reported, "Wallace is a member of the NFAC (the Not F****** Around Coalition), a black militia, according to his Facebook profile, which is under the name O-Zone Wallace. He has a criminal record in Florida including domestic violence, aggravated battery with a deadly weapon and aggravated battery on a pregnant person charges."
Sounds charming.
ITEM 21: Breitbart reported, "Two travel aides to Vice President Kamala Harris have resigned from their positions just one day before she travels to the U.S.-Mexico border, according to a report from the New York Times.
"Sources close to the matter told the Times that Harris’s director of advance Karly Satkowiak and deputy director of advance Gabrielle DeFranceschi informed Harris’s office that they would be leaving within the coming weeks."
She must be a delight to work for.
FINALLY, Inside Higher Ed reported, "It’s official: Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Nikole Hannah-Jones will not join the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill on July 1, as previously announced. And she won’t join the faculty at all without tenure.
"'The inferior terms of employment offered to Ms. Hannah-Jones in the fixed-term contract resulted from viewpoint discrimination in violation of the freedom of speech and expression, secured by the U.S. and North Carolina Constitutions,” Hannah-Jones’s lawyers wrote to the university this week. The letter also accuses the university of race and sex discrimination and retaliation in violation of federal and North Carolina state law, unlawful political influence in violation of North Carolina state law,' and other unlawful grounds.
"''Under these circumstances,' the legal team wrote, 'any appointment of Ms. Hannah-Jones without tenure is unacceptable.'"
She is lawyering up.
That is why we have courts.
