Commentary by Larry Schweikart
IN POLITICAL NEWS
1) Patrick Bet-David, the CEO of Valuetainment, offered the Tuckster $100 million for a five-year deal plus a board seat.
2) The IRS has spent $10 million on weapons, ammo, and combat gear since 2020. In a saner society, they’d probably need it.
3) Shocked! American eighth graders saw their history and civics scores fall.
4) U.S. track and field star Tori Bowie (gold medalist 2016) “dies suddenly” at age 32.
5) TechnoFog argues Jeffrey (He-didn’t-kill-himself) Epstein was an FBI source.
6) An ex-FBI supervisory agent was arrested on Capitol protest (Patriot Day) charges. Now, under whose instructions was he doing that?
7) And here it comes: “transableism,” whereby people get surgery to take off an arm, leg, or other appendages due to Body Integrity Identity Disorder (BIID), will be the next protected class of dysphoric people.

8) Florida will expand the “Don’t Say Homosexual” law to all public school grades.
-Works for me.
9) Nothing to see here, folks, just another DemoKKKrat who sold $15,000 stock in First Republic Bank before it dropped 80% in value.
-Those DemoKKKrats are just so good at picking stocks.
10) A judge has cleared the way for St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner to go to trial for willfully neglecting her office.
11) North Carolina will become the 7th state to invoke school choice laws in the last two years and did so without the GOP trifecta. Republicans have enough votes to override the governor’s expected veto.
12) Senator Chuck Grassley and House Oversight Chairman James Comer have subpoenaed the FBI over a “criminal scheme involving then-Vice President Rutabaga and a foreign national” related to the “exchange of money for policy decisions.”
-Rutabaga? Sell influence? Really?
13) Ain’t that the truth? The RNC is worried that President Trump may not provide Faux News the opportunity to attack him during the August GOP debate.

14) The U.S. continues to import Russkie oil and oil products.
