Man it’s going to be hot as fuck today. I am going to insist that you get yourself a big glass of water right now. Don’t wait. Throw some ice in. It already feels gross and it’s only getting worse.

    Biggest losers: Libbies praying for higher inflation because they think it will hurt Donald Trump, while ignoring a far greater harm higher inflation will have on Welfare Queen YLB’s two fucked kids.

    Wholesale inflation flat in June
    Share
    By Emma W. Thorne, Editor at LinkedIn News
    U.S. wholesale inflation was essentially unchanged in June, the Bureau of Labor Statistics said Wednesday. Economists had expected an increase of around 0.2%. The producer price index — less food, energy and trade — rose just 2.5% over a year earlier, the smallest increase since late 2023. Taken together with the latest consumer price index, these figures suggest that prices for goods and services have taken a minimal hit so far from the Trump administration’s tariffs, per CNBC.

    Administration
    Hunter Biden says Democrats lost election because they weren’t loyal to his father

    “And I will tell you why we lost the last election. We lost the election because we did not remain loyal to the leader of the party. That’s my position,” he told Harrison, according to the excerpt. “We had the advantage of incumbency. We had advantage of an incredibly successful administration and the Democratic Party literally melted down.”

    Let this be a lesson to you, libbies. No matter how awful (Biden) the situation looks, it can always (Boxeheck Momala) get even worse.

    Besides, Biden would have kicked Donald Trump’s ass in that second debate, amirite?

    Lawrence O’Donnell went crazy over a movie last night on his show on MSNBC. Thought I’d give it a watch.

    OMG.. what a downer. The movie “Sovereign” features Nick Offerman as a single parent eking out a living preaching his ideology of “Sovereign Citizenship”, holding seminars in meeting places like Church facilities and taking donations. Nothing cynical about how he makes his living. He’s a true believer. And spouts this bullshit ideology non-stop, 24/hours a day. You want to punch the guy in the mouth, he’s so full of it.

    Of course, he’s really into guns.

    Depression point: his teenage son, home schooled of course, is shown isolated at home, alone, with his home school workbooks and a dog for company. He pines for an attractive girl a couple doors down. He is scrawny, affectless, he’s a prisoner. He brightens when his father shows up after a road trip. Something has to do that for the poor kid unfortunately, aside from his dog, it is all he has. The young actor playing this role does a fantastic job.

    The house they live in is a wreck and is being foreclosed.

    The movie ends badly, violently. You’ll be surprised at who gets out alive.

    Dennis Quaid is in the movie, playing a police chief. The Quaid brothers, Randy and Dennis are pretty right wing but there’s no doubt they’ve made a mark in acting, Dennis in particular. He’s pretty good in the role he plays. Guys like Jon Voight and Dennis Quaid, nutty politics aside, are polished actors.

    O’Donnell recommended the movie to Jen Saki during the signoff to her show. Holy crap. Is he trying to lose friends?

    The movie strikes me as almost art house fare. It’s well done. Offerman gives the role everything he’s got but damn is it depressing.

    Is it about politics? I’d say it’s more about religion, desperation and hopelessness.

    lmao.. what happened to regime change?

    Pentagon intelligence experts said Wednesday, July 2, that the strikes set back Iran’s nuclear program by up to two years. The assessment is notably more measured than President Donald Trump’s earlier claim that the attack “obliterated” Iran’s nuclear ambitions.

    https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/pentagon-now-says-it-will-take-iran-up-to-2-years-to-restore-nuclear-capabilities/ar-AA1HUw4M

    Several years? Israeli reports are pretty much in line with that. So much for “obliterated”..

    It’s the new “mowing the grass” for Israel. And Israel’s poodle, the U.S. and its sicko-phants like teh kreepee dumbfuck are only too happy to indulge and kneepad.
