Stories For Juneteenth

On the newest official American holiday, here are some things going on:

From National Review, if President Biden wants voters to believe that we're not in a recession, he should act like we're not in a recession.

From FrontpageMag, teachers in Chicago demand $145,000 salaries even though 80 percent of their student can't do math.

From Townhall, a truck driver who allegedly caused a fatal crash in Colorado is an illegal alien who has been deported 16 times.  (Yes, you read that right.  He's been removed from the U.S. 16 times.  I've sometimes had the idea that when someone from Latin America is deported multiple times, each deportation should be to a place farther south than the previous one.  Hopefully, such a deportee will get it through his thick skull that he's not welcome here before we're dropping him off in Antarctica.)

From The Washington Free Beacon, MacKenzie Scott, the former wife of billionaire Jeff Bezos, gives millions of dollars to a community fund with ties to the radical group behind the anti-Israel encampment at the University of Pennsylvania.  (She should be not confused with Scott McKenzie, who sang the song San Francisco, written by John Phillips of the Mamas and the Papas.)

From the Washington Examiner, at the top of the worst-run city list is (drum roll, please), San Francisco.  (The city appears to have deteriorated since Scott McKenzie sang about it.)

From The Federalist, San Francisco Mayor London Breed seems to think that her top job is naming drag queens.  (Could this be part of the reason why San Francisco appears to have deteriorated?)

From American Thinker, a very important 1st Amendment case is in store for the Supreme Court.

From MRCTV, Republicans blast Democrats intending to include women if the draft is reinstated.  (Such a provision could be confusing, since many of us these days don't even know how to define "woman".)

From NewsBusters, according to Shark Tank cohost Kevin O'Leary, California Governor Gavin Newsom (D) has turned his state into a "version of Venezuela".

From Canada Free Press, the Connecticut Bar Association appears to misunderstand the 1st Amendment.

From TeleSUR, the Haitian army is on a war footing.

From TCW Defending Freedom, British politician Nigel Farage must target Labour Party leader Keir Starmer's "anti-Christian neo-Marxism".

From Snouts in the Trough, are the people of the U.K. being fleeced by pushers of high blood pressure pills?

From EuroNews, why Prime Ministers Giorgia Meloni (Italy), Viktor Orbán (Hungary), and Petr Fiala (Czech Republic) are angry about how the E.U.'s top jobs are allocated.

From ReMix, did Meloni betray Orbán by rejecting his Fidesz party joining the ECR group in the European Parliament?  (If you read Italian, read the story at Corriere della Sera.)

From The North Africa Post, spillover from the conflict in Sudan complicates security concerns in Chad and the Central African Republic.

From The New Arab, according to an investigation, the National Union of Syrian Students is guilty of war crimes including the targeting of pro-democracy students.

From The Times Of Israel, aid deliveries in Gaza are hampered by cigarette smuggling.

From BBC News, an Israeli hostage released by Hamas no longer believes in peace.

From the Daily Mail, at least 550 pilgrims have died while on the Hajj in Mecca, Saudi Arabia.

From Gatestone Institute, while jihadists brutalize non-Muslim women, Western feminists go Sergeant Schultz.

From The Stream, Camp Stanton in Maryland, where black troops trained to fight as Union soldiers.

From The Daily Signal, Louisiana expands educational choice to everyone.

From The American Conservative, what kind of conservative will once-and-maybe-future President Trump be?

From The Western Journal, Trump takes off the gloves and (figuratively) swings at former Speaker and vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan (R-Wis), now a Fox News board member.

From BizPac Review, Trump congratulates U.S. open winner Bryson DeChambeau, who chugs a "Trump pour" with former First Son Eric Trump.

From The Daily Wire, inside the struggle to keep graphic material away from children in a very red state.

From the Daily Caller, the Biden administration finalizes its rules for governing subsidies in its climate bill, which is seen as a major victory for labor unions.

From Breitbart, three teenagers are arrested for the alleged anti-semitism-inspired rape of a 12-year-old Jewish girl in Courbevoie, France.

From Newsmax, the Chief Twit's xAI startup is building a supercomputer.

And from the New York Post, a group of people in the New York City neighborhood of Hell's Kitchen rescue a cat from an abandoned delicatessen.
