□ [“Violent Career Criminal Breaks Into His Last Home, Runs Into Armed Mama Bear Who Doesn’t Hesitate to Protect Her Children"]

The woman is not seen in the video so there's no clue what her skin color was.  Her neighbor is black and the guy who broke into her house is black, but that's not proof that the mother defending her home and children was black.  Nonetheless, the people who demand guns be banned should emphasize the importance of banning blacks from having guns.

The criminal may have been on parole from his twenty-year sentence for robbery and committed several crimes just breaking into this woman's home in the middle of the night, but he'd surely be turning his life around and would become a surgeon or a physicist, if only this gun hadn't stopped him forever.

This is how Democrats need to present this report, just as they had for all the decades that they had previously spent banning blacks from having guns and just how they want to ban everyone else from having guns.  Start small, just specify that only black women will be forbidden to buy or use a gun, and eventually you can make that law apply to everyone else.

□ [“Emergency Call After Cocaine Found in White House Library"]

Obviously Hunter is the main suspect.  I'm sure there are others who are authorized to bring coke into the White House but keep in mind, most people would have no reason to that.  I know there's an anecdote about [I forget who, Jefferson Airplane or Fleetwood Mac] doing that and I could easily believe that Bill Clinton or one of those POTUS' did such a thing just to prove they can, but that's about it.

It's just common sense.  I'm sure there are government officials who have the authorization to literally purchase drugs, but they wouldn't have any reason to go to the White House.  Those who can go to the White House would have a reason to not bring it with them.  They'd have to get searched.  Their possessions would at least be put on record.

Basically everyone who has a job there would know how to avoid getting caught, simply by not doing it there.  Really, the only exception would be Hunter and any of Biden's appointees.  [er, wait a minute...]  And Hunter's at the point in his life where he's proved he can get away with anything and not be punished.  An intelligent person wouldn't want to push his luck but this is Hunter.  A non-criminal would want to avoid criminal acts, but this is Hunter.  Someone who doesn't want to be punished the way black men committing the same crime would be, well, this is Hunter.  What incentive does he have to not show he can get away with it?

□ [“Politico:  Democrats Should Support a Primary of Biden, So That He Can Prove He's Up to the Job of Being President"]

This is leftist media's method of complaining about Biden's obvious problems.  They can't address the truth, they're paid to protect him from the truth.  The real problem is this makes Democrats look bad and they need to at least pretend they won't steal more elections.  And maybe there's something about having a decrepit old man in charge of the most powerful nation on the planet.

So the only way they can put anything out that might help is to suggest that Biden show his abilities to speak and deal sensibly with others by having an actual competitor in the primaries.  Wasn't that long ago that whoever runs the Democratic Party publicly announced that there would be know primaries.  They knew there was only one way to promote Biden and that's by preventing any competition.

There's also the need to prevent Trump from being able to win the Republican primaries because he really has no chance of losing unless the elections are stolen.  I'm still more and more opposed to Trump being the candidate but I want him to pick the candidate. But the only way Democrats can complain about primaries is if they're permitted to have primaries themselves.  Jimmy Carter might have won in 1980 if he hadn't permitted Ted Kennedy to run against him, or if he'd learned anything from the challenge.

After four days in theaters, the new Indiana Jones movie is finally proving its box office success, having made $11 million more domestically than The Flash had at the same point in its run.  Couldn't catch an ant and now it can't can't catch an 80-year old, this is not the Flash's year.  But he's been dead for almost 40 years so he deserves credit for that.

But in four days, Indy has made $72 million domestically and only $70 million internationally.  Usually movies make more in the rest of the world than in America, maybe this is some new plan by Disney.  Celebrating the 4th of July maybe?

Slightly more seriously, the fact that it took four days for Indiana Jones to get well-ahead of the Flash is to me proof that Hollywood-in-general is being hit by a major boycott.  I will admit that I worried the Flash might be successful although I didn't think it would be a major hit.  I really thought Indiana Jones would be, if not a major hit, at least reasonably successful.  But they spent their first three days at an almost-equal box office total shows us how unwilling people are to buy movie tickets now.

I still think it's the economy as much as anything else.  We're not going to waste money on movie tickets when we already struggle to buy food and gas and rent.  But then there's also the decision that we don't want to put up with this *woke* bullsh*t any longer.  The studios are going to blame marketing but the people in charge are the ones who put marketing in charge so the blame is still going to go upwards.

The reasons to not see these movies is probably different for every individual but that means Hollywood will find it difficult to comprehend, which itself will be very entertaining to watch.  The studios have loaded themselves with extremely expensive trash.  I'm deliberately not looking up what's coming out next but in four months, we get to see The Marvels and we can guarantee that will be a complete failure.  We have nothing else to look forward to so might as well enjoy that.

□ [“Army’s trannies are exempt from physical fitness standards"]

Well they're in the elite, they don't have to be subjected to the same rules as the peons.  You can see that just by looking at them.  They're only here to promote blatant self-destruction, physically and mentally, throughout the US military.  And to waggle their penis at women who are forced to shower with them, but that's a given.

Basically the only hope is that they're all sent to the front-line in any conflict so they'll all be dead right away and the rest of us are permitted to actually think.  Or maybe the enemy will just die from laughter, it's not like the Russians or Chinese militaries have to handle this transgender nonsense.  Or the Iranians, or the North Koreans.  Or East Asia, West Asia, South America, Africa...  I'm sensing a theme here.

Aside from the basic goal for self-destruction and damaging the US, it's also beneficial to the 'new world order' to destroy the US military.  The men who are able to survive combat have to be able to think quickly, these creatures in charge aren't capable of thought at all.  They're probably already given promotions by whatever the NWO's self-appointed military system is.

U.S. Army Judge Hears Arguments about “Inhumane Treatment” of al-Qaeda Terrorist Accused in 2000 Attack on U.S.S. Cole
July 4, 2023

Official numbers have come out:
DOMESTIC (46.2%) $60,368,101
INTERNATIONAL (53.8%) $70,179,002
WORLDWIDE $130,547,103

$60,368,101 domestically in 4600 theaters over 3 days so if tickets cost $10 each, that averages 437.45 tickets sold per theater per day.

By comparison, in the first three days, The Flash sold 433.34 tickets per theater per day. Ant-Man 3 sold 814.03 tickets per theater per day. The Little Mermaid remake sold 737.48 tickets per theater per day. Guardians of the Galaxy 3 sold 886.99 tickets per theater per day.

It's not just superhero fatigue. It's not just Disney fatigue. I haven't heard others suggest that most people don't want to spend money because the economy is garbage but a lot of people have pointed out that we've had enough of this stuff.

The studios are whining about marketing, but The Flash was in almost as many theaters and cost almost as much money to produce. It was a different genre produced by a different company, but it had almost exactly the same ticket sales. Marketing problems? Not likely.

Oh what the hell, just to be a little more realistic, I'll say a ticket to Indiana Jones cost $12 and remember it was actually open on Thursday so that's four days. That means they averaged 273.40 tickets per theater per day.

Looking up showing at a local theater, next week gets kinda wacky so I'll just say 5 showings a day... 54.68 tickets to each showing at each theater on each day.
