Judge Orders Continued Funding Of Eugenics In Contravention Of Federal Law

CBS News reports that U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani has ordered Heath & Human Services (HHS) to continue funding Planned Parenthood notwithstanding a new law cutting off Medicaid funding to groups "primarily engaged in family planning services, reproductive health, and related medical care" that also provide abortions. "Planned Parenthood also said more than half of its patients use Medicaid," the article relates, "so a funding cutoff would have 'devastating effects' on the group and its local affiliates, forcing some local health centers to close." But there is nothing in the article (or several others I reviewed) to indicate that the Judge found the law to be unconstitutional, and the article closes by noting that "the Supreme Court ruled last month that South Carolina can block Planned Parenthood from participating in the state's Medicaid program, finding Planned Parenthood could not sue the state under a civil rights law." 

Chicago: At Least 55 Shot, 6 Dead, Over July 4 Weekend

Breitbart reports that in the Democrat utopia of Chicago, where gun control reigns supreme, "[a]t least 55 people were shot, six of them fatally, during Fourth of July weekend in Mayor Brandon Johnson’s (D) Chicago." The article also notes that "[t]here have been 203 homicides in Chicago in 2025[.]" This even as murder rates, overall, appear to be falling dramatically across the nation according to NPR. The latter article indicates that after a surge in violence in 2020 and 2021, murders have been decline, including a declined 14% across the U.S. in 2024, with even larger declines expected for this year. "In Detroit, for instance, city officials say the number of homicides is at its lowest since 1965, and Police Chief Todd Bettison says that has led to a huge difference for his officers," the article relates.

    While police credit the decline to better policing, "experts" suggest that it is because local governments are back to pre-pandemic levels of spending on social services. I wonder if it is a combination of many Democrat run cities no longer reporting crime statistics, and Republican states passing "constitutional carry" laws. 

The Diversity Report #30

 A selection of articles and video showcasing the benefits of diversity, equity and inclusion: 

• Mob rule: "Hundreds protest outside Lakewood Police HQ demanding release of suspect accused of luring teen into van"--Shore News Network. From the article:

    A large demonstration took place late Saturday night outside Lakewood Police Department headquarters, as community members gathered to protest the arrest of Binyomin Kubani, a local father of eight and member of the Orthodox Jewish community.

    The protest, which drew hundreds of participants, including the roshei yeshiva of Beth Medrash Govoha, centered on what demonstrators described as an unjust and improperly handled arrest. Kubani was taken into custody Thursday after a 15-year-old male claimed he was solicited at a Route 88 car wash.

    Protesters argued the youth had previously worked for Kubani and was asked again if he wanted to assist in cleaning a van. 

Apparently there was some special agreement between the police and the Jewish community that was violated in this instance: "Law enforcement procedures typically involve interviewing both parties and establishing a timeline before making an arrest." 

• "The rabbi who owns Pornhub"--The Jewish Independent.  
• Black block party: "Video shows multiple people opening fire in Grays Ferry mass shooting that left 3 people dead"--6 ABC. Anonymous conservative has a better video of the incident. Note the guy with the full auto Glock. I guess all the firearms laws prohibiting felons from owning such weapons didn't work, almost like criminals don't obey the law. 
• Another party: "4 dead, 14 injured in drive-by mass shooting outside Chicago nightclub: report"--New York Post.  

    Four people were killed and 14 others wounded when gunfire erupted outside a Chicago nightclub Wednesday night, CBS Chicago reported, citing authorities.

    Police said a drive-by shooting occurred around 11 p.m. outside the Artis Restaurant and Lounge nightclub on the 300 block of West Chicago Avenue in the Near North Side neighborhood of the Windy City.

    Revelers were leaving the “high-end dining and nightlife destination” after an album release party for Chicago-based rapper Mello Buckzz. 

• Oh the irony: "Mexicans Are Now Protesting Immigration"--Hot Air.  Mexicans in Mexico City took to the streets to engage in a "mostly peaceful" demonstration against Americans immigrating to their country, complaining that it is driving up housing costs and diluting the culture. They also appear to be upset that Americans don't use Spanish. ABC News reported:

Near the end of the march, a group of protesters turned violent, breaking the windows of storefronts and looting a number of businesses. In one case, a protester slammed a butter knife against the window of a restaurant where people were hiding, and another person painted "kill a gringo" on a nearby wall.

• Flashback: "Mexico Is Complicit In The L.A. Riots, And There Should Be Consequences"--The Federalist. 

On Sunday afternoon, responding to the riots over the weekend, [Mexican President] Sheinbaum said Mexican nationals living in the U.S. are “heroes” and denounced President Trump’s attempts to enforce federal immigration law.  

• Anchor baby away! "Immigrants scramble for clarity after Supreme Court birthright ruling"--Reuters. 

    Lorena, a 24-year-old Colombian asylum seeker who lives in Houston and is due to give birth in September, pored over media reports on Friday morning. She was looking for details about how her baby might be affected, but said she was left confused and worried.

    "There are not many specifics," said Lorena, who like others interviewed by Reuters asked to be identified by her first name out of fear for her safety. "I don't understand it well."

• "DHS Removes Hurdle To Impose Millions In Fines To Undocumented Migrants: 'Easier and More Efficient'"--Latin Times.  

The new rule gets rid of the 30-day period of notice of the intent to fine requirement before a fine is issued. Now, the announcement said, DHS immigration officers are authorized to send fines to undocumented migrants by regular mail, shortening the process that applies if migrants contest their files.

• "Tennessee Enacts Law Making It a Felony to House Illegal Immigrants for Rent"--Gateway Pundit.  The article relates:

    The new law targets landlords, business owners, and “sanctuary sympathizers” who knowingly harbor illegal aliens in exchange for rent or services — a Class E felony punishable by up to six years in prison and fines up to $3,000.

    For cases involving children under 13, the penalty escalates to a Class A felony, with potential sentences of up to 60 years. 

The usual anti-Americans have crawled out of the woodwork, though:

 A coalition including the Southeastern Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church, TIRRC, ICAP, and the American Immigration Council has sued in federal court to block the law, citing First Amendment and Supremacy Clause violations.

The suit apparently alleges that the law is illegal because it usurps federal authority over immigration and because it violates the Church's right under the First Amendment to express their faith by offering services to illegal aliens. But the law doesn't prevent them from offering services to illegal aliens, it only prevents them from doing so in return for compensation.   

• "Trump's DOJ Just Started Stripping US Citizenship – Here's Who They are Targeting"--Town Hall.  They are going to "remove individuals who obtained US citizenship through fraud or misrepresentation." 
• "Democrats and the Fake News Media Are Hiding This from the American Public: Illegal Migrants Collect More Food, Housing, Cash Benefits, and Medicaid Than Natural Born Citizens"--Gateway Pundit. An excerpt:

    The study found that 59 percent of non-citizen households (e.g., green card holders and illegal immigrants) used one or more major welfare program.

    This compares to 39 percent of US-born households who receive one or more major welfare program.

    Illegal aliens not only broke the law to enter the country but they’re sucking our resources dry.

    Gonzalez-Companioni’s truck initially collided with a pickup truck carrying five people. Four were killed by the collision and a fifth was airlifted to a hospital in critical condition. The collision also crumpled a number of other vehicles and caused one other semi-truck to jackknife, which ended up killing another car driver, making the fifth fatality in the accident.

    Arturo Gamboa, who was found injured while dressed all in black near a dropped AR-15-style rifle, was arrested and booked into jail on a murder charge.

    However, the investigation suggests he never fired — and the deadly shots were instead from two event “peacekeepers” who confronted Gamboa after seeing him “pull out an AR-15-style rifle from a backpack and begin manipulating it,” the department said.

    Arturo Gamboa, 24, never fired his weapon, but he was arrested on suspicion of murder Saturday. He had not been formally charged as of Wednesday evening, according to police records.

    His arrest stems from statements provided to law enforcement by two volunteer “peacekeepers,” who said they saw Gamboa raise an assault-style rifle and point it into a crowd of people.

    But a new video appears to show Gamboa pointing his rifle down toward the ground and moving away from three gunshots fired by a safety volunteer.

    Police said the permit for the protest did not specify that there would be armed security.

    Protest organizers have not said whether or how the safety volunteer who shot Ah Loo was trained or explained why he was armed. All attendees, including those in safety roles, were asked not to bring weapons, according to Sarah Parker, a national coordinator for the 50501 Movement. Parker’s organization on Thursday said it was disassociating from a local chapter of the group that helped organize the Utah protest. 

U.S. Used Two Years Worth Of THAAD Interceptor To Defend Israel

Core Insights relates:

    Israeli media outlet Haaretz has reported that the U.S. military used 93 'THAAD' interceptor missiles in 11 days to defend Israel, revising earlier estimates by others of $800 million to an actual cost of approximately $1.2 billion.

    With an annual production rate of roughly 36–48 'THAAD' interceptors, the United States used nearly two years' worth of interceptors during the war. 

VIDEO: Shooting .22 LR From A Survival Cache

The Realist pointed me to a recent video (below) from YouTuber "704 Gear" who shoots .22 LR ammo that he has stored for 10 years. The first batch was just stored in a shed with no climate control (with temperatures ranging from below freezing in winter to well over 100 degrees in summer), while the second batch was from a buried storage cache. The ammunition was Winchester Super-X. The ammunition was test fired in a Savage bolt-action .22 rifle and a Taurus TX-22 semi-auto pistol. There were no issues with either batch.

New Civil War 2.0 Weather Report from John Wilder

Over at Wilder, Wealthy & Wise: "Civil War 2.0 Weather Report: Diversity Is Our Weakness." John discusses how multiculturalism and diversity--particularly at current levels--is a weakness: "Running a country is nearly impossible when it is filled dozens of cultures that aren’t assimilated.  The chaos, disruption, and civilizational disintegration all come from great clumps of people being shoveled into a society that formerly had been high-trust – a society there were basic norms that came from a shared ethnicity and culture." But not anymore and it has begun to shift the Overton Window so that it is now possible to discuss banning all third-world immigration. Be sure to read the whole thing.  

Germany Pushing Ahead With Banning AfD Party?

Even as Muslims in Germany demand the implementation of Sharia law in direct contravention of the German constitution, CNN reports that "Calls are mounting to ban Germany’s far-right AfD party – despite it being more popular than ever." The CNN article begins:

    The far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) is now Germany’s largest opposition group and even topped several opinion polls – briefly putting it ahead of now-Chancellor Friedrich Merz’s center-right party – in the weeks after February’s federal election.

    At the same time, the AfD is facing growing calls for an outright ban, most recently from another major political party.

    In May, the country’s domestic intelligence agency formally classified the AfD as an extremist entity that threatens democracy. In a 1,100-page report, the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution, or BfV, also laid out its findings that the party was racist, anti-Muslim, and devaluing of “entire segments” of Germany’s population. [Translation: they oppose mass immigration by Muslims--see the first link above]

    That move, which enables the BfV to better monitor the group , has reignited attempts to impose a ban, despite the party claiming a significant 20.8% of the vote in February’s national election – the best performance by a far-right party in the country since World War II. 

The article adds that "On Monday [i.e., Monday of last week], the center-left Social Democratic Party (SPD), which is currently serving as the junior coalition partner in Berlin’s conservative-led government, voted unanimously to begin efforts to outlaw it." However, other parties are more hesitant, afraid that such a move could make the AfD even more popular and subject Germany to repercussions from the Trump Administration. 

The DNC Is Dependent On Jewish Contributors

The Jerusalem Post reports that "US Jews contribute half of all donations to the Democratic Party," and 25% of those to the Republican National Convention. I knew the Democrats relied heavily on Jewish voters for money, but I didn't realize it was this much. But this confirms my suspicions of why the DNC is running out of cash--they've alienated their Jewish supporters. The rest of the article discusses why American Jews are so liberal. Per the article, and of note for Republicans, is that American Jews are so liberal that the majority believe it is more important to kill babies than to support Israel; so no matter how much the Republican's support Israel, it is not likely to sway Jewish voters to switch parties. 

VIDEO: Flash Floods

A couple videos below. The first is from a news report showing some of the flash flooding in Texas. It begins with a good shot of how fast a flash flood can happen, with a wall of water racing down an existing river. This is why it is a good idea to have your important documents in a single location or container so you can grab and go. The fact that you may only have minutes to flee your home is the reason for a grab-and-go 72-hour kit. Perhaps it won't be a flood in your area: it may be brush fires, a chemical spill or release of toxic gasses, or some other disaster. 

The second video goes into how a flash flood happens.

Ruger Buys Anderson Manufacturing

Anderson Mfg. has a long history of manufacturing and selling inexpensive (but still reasonably good quality) AR receivers. While I haven't personally used any Anderson receivers in my builds, I know people that have done so and reported no problems, including one guy that just stockpiles the lower receivers whenever they were on sale. 

    But that time is over. Ruger has announced its purchase of Anderson Mfg.'s assets.  Per the article, "Ruger will not continue the Anderson Manufacturing brand or its firearms products. Ruger is looking to take all of Anderson’s facility capabilities and utilize it to create new products, grow Ruger lineups, and launch new accessories as well." Anderson is no longer taking orders.
