Yesterday, I scrabbled together a quick comment on Ben & Jerry’s ignorant indigenous Independence Day tweet, but when I saw Rob Roper’s take, mine went into the digital dustbin. I liked his more, but the fates have since blessed me with news that makes for a great follow-up.

Biden Inc. Appeals the Ban on Feds Colluding With Big Tech to Censor Americans
In celebration of American Independence, a Louisiana Judge blocked the Feds from colluding with Big Tech to censor Americans on social media. This was meant to stop the FBI, CIA, CDC, and others from pressuring the platforms to remove content at their discretion. Biden Inc. was not amused.
You Left Out “Children and Grandchildren Robbed” …
The Bennington Banner has an article up applauding another bucket of someone else’s money. Vermont is allegedly getting 229 million for a broadband buildout. The editors and the Banner left out a critical and necessary point in their headline.
AFP Action Doesn’t Think Donald Trump Can Win in 2024
We got ourselves a presidential election, and Americans for Prosperity Action is getting involved. They sent out a mailer with the happy lead that “America’s Best Days Could Be Ahead.” I agree. Then I flipped it over.
Legislative Paradox: Michigan House Passes Bill That Should Make The Bill Itself Illegal
The war on free speech continues in Michigan. The legislature is advancing a bill that would make it a felony to “feel terrorized, frightened, or threatened.” My first thought was, no more pandemic fearmongering, then?
NH Executive Councilor Blocks Constituent After He Asks Her a Question about The Arrests of the NH9

NH AG’s Civil Rights Case Against White Nationalist Group NSC-131 – Dismissed
White nationalists hung a banner on a highway overpass. When asked to remove it for failing to have a permit, they did. The State, looking for something – I speculate on that more here – charged them with a civil rights violation that I concluded would fail miserably. It did.

Solar Fail – New 5.2 MW Solar Farm Reduced to Ruin by One Hail Storm

Did God Save the Amish from COVID or Was It Just Common Sense?
The Public Health Industrial Complex has a problem. Its missionaries denied people their religious rights (among others), pimped various protocols, and mandated treatments and preventions. The Amish didn’t do any of that and fared 90 times better.
NH AG Want’s To Know About The Negative Impact of “Puberty Blockers” on Young People … Sorry, I Meant “Social Media”
The State Attorney General has a burning desire to address the negative effects of social media on young people. The Governor signed an executive order. The State Dept of Ed is expected to create a new curriculum to address it. But nothing about puberty blockers.
Philly Mass-Shooter is a Pro- BLM Transvestite With They/Them Pronouns
This is getting to be a problem. People dancing proudly across the gender spectrum keep turning up as mass shooters—the latest is Kimbrady Carriker, arrested in the July 3rd mass shooting in Philadelphia.
We Should Call Lab Grown Meat, Cloned Meat – Or Better Yet, Mystery Meat.
We’ve written about Lab Grown meat and plant-based products pretending to be meat. Their carbon footprint is larger. It costs more than the real thing. And while plant-based fake meat’s nutritional claims are spurious, with cloned meat, they are a mystery.
Meme Overflow
Wednesday is meme overflow day around here—an opportunity to feast on the visual leftovers from Monday. You can also take a leap in the Wayback machine to last Friday’s overflow or just proceed to the latest pile of mockery we’ve curated for your amusement.

Jordan Peterson: Birth Control, Sex, Culture, Men, Women, Consent, and #MeToo …

Coming Soon: GraniteGrok in Vermont … Should We Call it VermontGrok? Green MountainGrok?
I’ve been pondering a foray into the Green Mountain State for a few years but was burdened by the same issues with other expansions. People promising to write about local stuff and it happening regularly are very different things. They mean well, but I get it.

Monday Memes
I’m back doing my darndest to fill in for Nitzakhon and his incredibly popular meme posts. Our readers love them, and while he is away on a “special assignment,” I’ll do what I can to keep the meme alive.
Solar Panel Addicts Suggest Blocking Out the Sun
The Global Warming Cult is just full of great ideas. Electric cars run on coal. Batteries made from metals extracted out of huge open pit mines. Wind machines that kill birds and bats. They are also thinking about how to block the sun.
