1. The psychopath known as "Doctor" Anthony "Mengele" Fauci can no longer hide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c7JAAF0VbQI
    
2. The FBI reports that 7,200 children have been rescued from human trafficking since the start of his third term (or second term, if you are counting the terms he was allowed to serve instead of the ones he was lawfully elected to). This must be why the deranged communists call him a Nazi. They have long been angry that the Republicans took their slaves away and now are angry at Trump for taking away their "play things."
    
3. U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani, who holds court in The People's Republic of Taxachussetts, blocked President Trump's order to secure mail-in voting. Why is this good news? She's just as much a moron as Elizabeth Moron (also from the PRT), because her decision will be appealed and move up through the Court system to the SCOTUS. At which point, the SCOTUS will be obligated to rule in favor of Trump because he is simply enforcing existing laws. As the Executive Branch is supposed to do (that's its main job).
   
   If Trump can't get Comrade Thune to pass the SAVE Act, then the decision from the SCOTUS will get most of that done. The commies believe lawfare is a powerful weapon, and they are right--just not in the way they are viewing it. They are being hoisted by their own lawfare petard repeatedly, you'd think they'd learn their lesson.
    
4. There's some justice for victims of the Covid Scam era crime-spree: https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2026/06/8-north-carolina-women-plead-guilty-25-million/
    
5. Under what Elizabeth Moron calls "Trump's disastrous economic policies", unemployment is down to 4.5% thanks to 57,000 new jobs being created in June (even with the Iran War going). These weren't burger-flipping jobs, either: professional and business services (36,000), social assistance (25,000), medical care (22,000).
    
6. The New York Slime, aka, Pravda Propaganda Paper, published an ultra-stupid article panning the investigation into the 2020 election fraud in Fulton County. In that idiotic piece, they complained that "dozens of FBI agents" descended into Fulton County. It wasn't dozens, it was over 2,000--that makes it thousands.
   
   IMPORTANT NOTE: I did not actually read the Slimes article, for the same reason I don't deliberately walk on steaming mounds of dog crap in people's yards. I read Jeff Childer's article in Coffee & Covid. I understand that Jeff may have an industrial duty shoe cleaner that he had custom-built shortly after he began representing people who were opposed to allowing medical experimentation to be done on their bodies. Jeff relied, in part, on legal theory based on "informed consent" but the CDC had never heard of it and refused to consider it.
   
   I normally don't pass along secondary source information, but over several years Jeff has earned my trust. If he has the stomach for exposing himself to the metaphorical dog crap in that nauseating newspaper, I'll trust what he says even if it would seem that nobody would print something so insane or biased. After all, this is a paper that is notorious for not ever getting anything right. They have fact checkers, and when those people find an actual fact accidentally included in a story they promptly replace it with fiction.

DOJ

1. On 23JUN, the DOJ announced it has charged 455 defendants in 45 states and US territories for various medical care fraud schemes totaling more than $6.5 billion. It's a good start on a huge problem, and there's no telling how long this larceny has gone on. Elizabeth Moron claims "Trump is taking away people's health care" and Nutcase Nancy makes the same claim. This is not about health care, which the government does not even provide. It's about scamming the medical insurance system we call Medicare (not Healthicare). That system has been on a trajectory to insolvency for years, ending the fraud will push the collapse many years into the future even if we do nothing else. This is good news for everyone but criminals and communists.
2. The DOJ on one instance of Medicare fraud: https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/telemedicine-company-owner-and-author-health-care-compliance-books-sentenced-136m-medicare
    
3. The real fraud is that the medical care system claims to provide health care. The lives lost to this lie, and the billions of dollars squandered as a consequence of conflating medical care with health care greatly exceed the fraud the DOJ found.

SCOTUS

1. On 18 June, SCOTUS issued a unanimous opinion in US vs. Hemani. It narrowed the scope of 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(3), which bans firearm acquisition or possession by anyone who is an “unlawful user” of a federally “controlled substance.” This is a major win for the entire Bill of Rights, and the Second Amendment in particular. It is significant that the three ersatz judges (one senile, one grossly unqualified, and one just plain stupid) voted with the majority. This no doubt made the commies crap their pants.
    
2. SCOTUS knocked down Hawaii's gun control scheme.
    
3. SCOTUS ruled that West Virginia and Idaho can lawfully restore fairness and common sense in women's sports. The Court backed Title IX. Here's a good video:
   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y_siu3-xVgo
    
4. Cats rejoice! SCOTUS upheld the Trump administration's removal of deportation restrictions for Haitians. Also those for Syrians, even though they aren't known to eat people's house cats.

You can help by:

1. Cancelling all subscriptions to any lamestream media newsfeeds, newspapers, podcasts, etc.
2. Encouraging others to do the same.
   
    

The Communists

1. The communists walk out when confronted with reality about mutilating children: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oR3mm0Ivl6o
2. The communists are making a super-big deal about the alleged "waste of money" involved in the few million spent fixing the Reflecting Pond in DC but they have said nothing about the billions of dollars of waste in welfare fraud that the Trump administration has stopped. Are they hypocrites, retards, or both?
3. They are allegedly raising $50 million to take back the House at the mid-terms. It is going to take a lot more money than that, for a long list of reasons. And I doubt they can raise that much because their money laundering operations have been shut down and their big donors have mostly snapped their wallets shut (many have fled to the free states).
    
4. If you can stomach it for a while, listen to the libtards, retards, and communists talk about America. According to them, this country is a stain on humanity. They recite a long list of alleged (and mostly imaginary) evils including income disparity (which is actually good) and racism (which they heavily promote). They claim we are currently being "ruled" by a narcissistic tyrant who disregards our Constitution (even though Obama, who fits that description perfectly, has been out of office for a long time). They paint a picture of an absolute hell hole.
   
   At the same time, they insist that we serve as a sanctuary for people fleeing from other countries (many of which  really are hellholes because they follow the same ideology the commies are trying to shove down our throats here). While doctors take the Hippocratic Oath, it seems obvious that commies take the Hypocrisy Oath.
    
5. What a disgrace: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VQBE-E9JocM. No wonder he got heckled.
    
6. Even James Carville is against the communist take-over of the Democrat Party: https://x.com/JasonJournoDC/status/2070182493366419653/video/1. But this should not come as a huge surprise, the surprise is that he's saying it publicly. This is the man perhaps most responsible for getting Bill Clinton elected as POTUS twice. And Bill Clinton was certainly no communist. While he was POTUS, the family that owns the Debt Clock in NYC took it down. While he was POTUS, people had jobs. The Clintons have their baggage, yes. But Bill Clinton was (and is) no communist. Same for James Carville.

In this issue, I want to talk about moral intelligence. No, I'm not going to provide a morality lecture. Nor am I going to go into what is moral or immoral. Or try to guilt-trip anyone. I'm going to talk about how to develop, strengthen, and maintain moral intelligence.

I define it as your ability to tell right from wrong and choose what you know is right. Not just what you "believe" is right, because ideologues believe something to be moral if it furthers their ideology or damages non-believers--and that is a basis for belief not knowledge. Belief is often wrong, because there is such a low bar for establishing a belief.

I am pretty sure we are all born with an inherent knowledge of right from wrong. While undergoing religious instruction can help clarify things in this area and help you in other, related ways, it's not a necessary element for having moral intelligence.

I'm also pretty sure we all make mistakes. We all have moral lapses. That's normal. Some people are normally immoral, and lapse into accidentally behaving in a moral way. They are mentally ill and my only advice to them is "seek treatment". For the rest of us, eight tips:

1. The Golden Rule. Refer to it when you are thinking of acting selfishly.
2. If you feel like saying something mean out of anger, pause. If you're in a conversation, say you need a break or ask to come back to the topic later.
3. When "nobody is looking", that's when you want to be on your best behavior.
4. Do small acts of morality. Many people believe that small acts of immorality are OK. It's no big deal to steal a pen from a bank or to pocket the $10 bill that fell out of the pocket of the person in front of you. But those things are corrosive. Not stealing that pen from the bank gives you an easy win and it shifts your morality controller into the right position.
    
5. Think in terms of what you can give rather than what you can take. Ask, "How can I be of service?"
6. Clearly identify at least one role model. Picture that person when you are making a decision. "What would Chuck do?" or "If I had to explain this to Ellen, what would I say?"
7. Admit your mistakes, then think about how to do better.
    
8. Avoid people who are manipulators, chronic liars, or just plain mean. They are not the people you want to learn from.

In short, moral intelligence is like any other form of intelligence. If you don't use it, you lose it. As an example, people who rely totally on their GPS lose the ability to navigate by landmark. Practice your morality in small ways throughout each day and you will strengthen it over time.

4. Finance tip

The 50% or so bump in gasoline prices during the Communist Occupation was explained away by the commies as inconsequential. The much shorter-lived 25% or so bump in gasoline prices due to the Iran War caused the commies to go nuts. If the President can't utter a complete sentence, everything's OK. If the President repeatedly wins at 4D chess and stops the "Death to America" country from obtaining nuclear weapons, he's an idiot bringing our country to ruin. End of the world, time to really clamp down. Yep, even though the jobs report exceeds the forecast by 100%, our economy is doomed--or so their line of BS goes.

Their hypocrisy and stupidity aside, both times were expensive but neither situation was an existential crisis.

One commie wrote to me saying he was worried about losing his home due to not being able to pay his property taxes. He filed for the county's property tax relief program, but had too much income to qualify. After gathering some basic facts, I analyzed his situation and found his concern to be ridiculous. For example, his county has not raised the mill rate for over twenty years and there's not a single case of predatory property taxation. Further, his home would never be a target because counties that tax people out of their homes tax the small one or two bedroom homes that are in low-income (and low tax-paying) tracts. His entire subdivision is above the mean home value in his county and the square footage of his home >2X the mean. No risk.

This guy puts his property tax payment on autopay, which is a patently stupid thing to do in his case because he pays it out of his general account. Which is his only account. Which brings me to this issue's finance tip.

What you want on autopay is payments into a separate account at a separate bank from the one you use to pay taxes and/or receive government payments.

Among other things, this protects your "the money I live on" account from being ravaged by a rogue IRS employee. By regularly contributing to this account, you have the funds on hand when the tax bill is due. You eliminate the timing risk of a big payment hitting during a low balance moment.

This approach is the "pay yourself first" approach, and the concept is the basis for payroll taxes. Payroll taxes being taken out of each paycheck allows the employer to make those quarterly payments already pre-funded. It is, in fact, a crime for employers to "borrow" that money.

This is how you should do your personal taxes once you retire. It's easy to automate. If you're not retired, you still need to do this for property taxes and similar. If you own a small business, you need to do it this way so you never come up short on your quarterly estimated or annual tax payments.

5. Security tip

Telescammers are more obnoxious than mosquitoes, and most of us have effective ways of dealing with them (caller ID, hanging up right away, etc.). But the elderly (as a group) seem to be missing their self-defense brain cells. Thus, they are especially ripe targets for all kinds of scams.

I drop UPS packages off at a CVS sometimes, and on my most recent visit the store manager scanned in my package. She started telling me about a woman who sends $500 at a time to some Romeo (I wasn't clear how she did this at CVS, maybe a money order or something similar). The store manager has repeatedly told her she's being ripped off. You can bet this woman's kids (if she has any) have no idea this is going on.

How do you protect the elderly in your life from being ripped off? Especially if they hide it from you?

The key is to win their trust. That takes an investment of time. Give this person safe harbor to discuss anything with you. Never get angry with them, never belittle them, never utter something like, "How could you be so stupid!". And never disparage anyone else to this elderly person. You must be the sweetest person they know. Bring up some of your own mistakes.

If you have a friend who made a mistake, discuss that in a nonjudgmental way. "I know John is really smart. Somehow, the crook figured out a way to get around that. It can happen to anybody. But here's the thing. This ALMOST happened. John called me to talk about it before deciding. It was a great conversation."

In addition to winning trust by being non-judgmental, being vulnerable, and giving an example or two of where you helped avert catastrophe:

• Bring up finances occasionally. This makes it an OK topic.
• Neuter the biggest scams of the moment. Prompt an AI to tell you the three biggest scams in this person's zip code and ask what to do.
• An elderly home owner is always a target for unnecessary roofing work, new siding, new windows, etc. After I turned 65, scammers were banging on my door like flies on a fresh dog turd. I put a sign on my door stating I didn't need X (a list of things scammers had already stopped by to try to sell me), and stated I charge $250 an hour to discuss these things. "If you reach for that doorbell, have your credit card ready." The rate went from >20 per day to zero.
   
• If this person reaches out to you, drop what you are doing. Don't act annoyed or say you don't have time right now. Listen and then take the next step needed to protect this person.
• If this person calls and says, "I just paid $3500 for a vacuum cleaner. I think I made a mistake." What should you do? Agree it was a mistake, but say it's an understandable one. The good news is the deal can be undone. You have three days to undo any sale made in your home. So first, cancel it in writing; send an e-mail so there is no delay. Then follow up with a phone call. The elderly person doesn't need to send the e-mail or make the call, though that is better than if you do it for him or her. But if you say, "Send a cancellation e-mail" or he doesn't have a computer, that is not likely to get done. You can write on behalf of the person. Just state you are doing so, the named person at named address is officially notifying the named company that the contract is cancelled."
• If the scammer tries to deny, delay, or avoid the cancellation, remind them it's a federal law not a personal request. If the payment was by check, go ahead and pay the $15 Stop Payment fee (if the check hasn't yet been deposited) and if by credit card file a chargeback.

When it comes to cancellations, most firms will not give you any trouble. Just ask nicely, and don't accuse them of anything. Statements like these do more harm than good:

• "I'm getting a lawyer." This is the ultimate "I feel powerless" empty threat.
• "Well see what the local news has to say about this."
• "I'm reporting you to the Better Business Bureau."

However, statements like this are helpful:

• My 83 year old mother bought this beautiful vacuum cleaner from your company yesterday. But without going into details, she has changed her mind and we are within the three business day limit for cancelling. Can you help me with that and make sure it gets done?"
• My elderly father agreed to having your company replace his siding. But his current siding is only seven years old and it has a lifetime warranty. He gets confused, which is why he runs these things by me. We're within the 3 day limit to cancel. Can you please take care of that while I wait on the phone, then send me a written confirmation to the e-mail address I will provide right after that's done?
• I'm sure you get these kinds of calls from time to time, and I am calling to cancel a contract within the 3 day limit. What information do we start with so that cancellation can be made at your end?

6. Health tip/Fitness tips

	Recovering from recovery. What does this mean? I tore the fascia covering my abdomen. It wasn't a big tear, but it was enough to require surgery. It didn't look like or act like the typical hernia, I just had a bulge when doing any kind of ab work. So I cut all ab work out of my program. I even wore a weight belt during squats to avoid using the muscles in that area. I couldn't find info on this, and delayed taking any action other than trying to let it rest. Eventually, I could see nothing was working and I needed medical help. I had ultrasound done, no problem detected. MRI, same thing. I met with a surgeon, who reviewed the images and palpated the area. No evidence of a hernia, but again this wasn't a typical hernia. It was a clean tear, and when I stood upright or lay still, the torn parts met and no gap was visible in imaging. But something "gave" a bit with some pressure applied. Now all this time had passed. Then I had the surgery. Total recovery time post-op until resuming normal activity? Three months for a normal person doing normal things. For me, it needed to be six months. This put me at almost two years. I lost those big strong abs and my obliques were a lot smaller. But I was "fully" recovered. Except from the recovery itself. Now I was starting from a much weaker, atrophied musculature in that area. I had to gradually increase the load, while also being cognizant of the fact the repair to the fascia didn't make it new. It is always going to be susceptible to another tear. As part of the recovery process, I had let my transverse abdominus go slack. This is the muscle that holds your gut in. It actually stretched, making the job of recovering from the recovery all that much harder and making it take a very long time. I used belts and binders to reduce the time under stretch, and added daily vacuums and other (less frequent) exercises. And stopped wearing weight belts for squats. A small injury can take years to fully recover from. A big injury could set you back permanently. Recovery takes a lot of patience and discipline, and it limits your activities. All of which means prevention is paramount.
	Here are some tips for preventing injuries that cause you to have to recover from the recovery: Performance Pay attention to your surroundings. I tore my fascia after catching myself from a fall when I was going up a grassy hill while carrying a 40lb bag of topsoil on each shoulder. Big lesson, here. What risky things do you do? What about how you use a ladder? Respect your limits. If you are starting to feel fatigued, don't attempt something that would be challenging for you when you're fresh. Check your equipment. Anything from worn running shoes to a frayed climbing harness can lead to injury.   Training Separate training from performance. If your training sessions are based on how much weight you can lift, your form will suffer, your tendons will be injured, and you'll have suboptimal stimulation for the adaptive response. Eliminate muscle imbalances. It is typical to train only what you see in the mirror, leaving the posterior chain to atrophy. This primes you for injury, make sure your program develops everything in balance.   Train at the full extension. People avoid doing this, because it's where the muscles are weakest. Which is exactly why you should do this. Time your stretching. Don't stretch before a workout, stretch afterwards. It makes no sense to lengthen a muscle just before you spend a session shortening it. Do a warm-up. For front squats, I use the empty bar for a few reps first. Ditto for bench press. You get the idea.   Be fully there in training. Not jacked up on caffeine from some stupid "prep-workout supp". Stay focused on that mind-muscle connection. Not merely thinking about it, being immersed in it. Tune out everything else. Listen to the feedback, and adjust accordingly. If something feels "off", stop. Your intuition is telling you something, figure out what.

At www.supplecity.com, you'll find plenty of informative, authoritative articles on maintaining a lean, strong physique. It has nothing to do with long workouts or impossible to maintain diets. In fact:

• The best workouts are short and intense.
• A good diet contains far more flavors and satisfaction than the typical American diet.

Since it first emerged as an ideology, communism has always been accompanied by violence, poverty, and coercion. That was the case in the Soviet Union, Cambodia, and Venezuela. It is the case in the USA in Chicago, Portland, New York City, Detroit, and every other communist-controlled city. Even Trans Francisco.
