□ [“Obama Judge Issues Nationwide Block on Big Beautiful Bill, Provision Bars Planned Parenthood Funding"]

Nationwide.  The entire country must obey this judge who has just commanded that Planned Parenthood always be funded by the taxpayer.  Her basic argument, if I can understand it, was the the law written and passed by Congress and signed by the POTUS, did not specifically name everybody in Planned Parenthood but somehow denied them funding anyway.  It's probably more complicated than that, otherwise you could argue that the law doesn't specifically identify me doing 80 in a 35-mph zone when I'm drunk, so I can't be punished for that.

The argument that this is (somehow) unconstitutional.  Planned Parenthood funding is not in the Constitution and this seems to be going very far out of the way to find an excuse to declare that this law can be ignored by the whole country.  Judges can't just dictate this stuff, the law has to be provably unconstitutional.  This law will certainly be considered constitutional if any sane judge looks at it so we'll find out if this is based more on lunacy or desperation.

I'd like to think this is where the Supreme Court will step in, although it's entirely possible that some other judge will overrule this decision.  There's still no clear evidence but I do get the impression that the clouds of delusion are starting to fade away for a majority of people, partially due to cases like this.  The left is losing its own followers by going too far off the rails.  In the last six months, we're supposed to have massive inflation, stock market collapse and war with Iran, just to name a few consequences the left and their media promised.  Now they only have their pet judges.

So, assuming nothing unexpected comes along, ideally the Supremes will speak out on this behavior.  There's a chance they would move against Trump but that would be going against the tides so they'd just make themselves irrelevant.  Even the leftists on the court must realize that they'd undermine their own authority if they go along with this, or at least be outvoted.

□ [“As Trump Reaches Historic EU Trade Deal, His Officials Broker Ceasefire Between Thailand and Cambodia"]

It's almost dizzying how many things Trump is actually getting done.  Just hype, I get that.  Even though I'm not a fan of him getting involved in these things, I don't think this is even the first peace talks he's had go well.  There's Israel and Gaza, the Russia/Ukraine thing isn't working out, am I missing something else?  Very hectic times we live in.

And there's the trade deal with the EU, not the first of those he's gotten done.  In this case, the EU will not charge the US tariffs for their goods, but we will charge the EU 15% for ours.  I don't really get why the EU would agree to this.  Maybe they have no other options but how desperate for US goods could they really be?  Well, based on this, they're desperate enough.

The left needs to keep ignoring all of this.  Economics, peace, all brought by the guy they fought against.  But they must be realizing that their own "experts" are getting a lot of things wrong.  Then they'll ask why their media keeps promoting this.  Still don't have any proof but I suspect a lot of leftists are actually seeing that they've always been going the wrong direction.  Arguably it's the old white boomers who make up the biggest resistance at this point.

I think he's already been nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize.  We all assume it will be rejected but it's only been six months and he's got a lot to show for that.  They were willing to give one to Obama just for showing up, who could they possibly pick just to make sure Trump doesn't get one?  Even their fellow leftists can't all be that stupid to believe it.  There's a limit to how much reality even they can ignore.

□ [“Fewer Than Two Dozen People Show Up to Protest Outside CBS in Support of Stephen Colbert"]

And this is in New York City.  Millions of people had something better to do than support this incredibly popular political figure against a tv network that spends $100 million on his show every year and loses $40 million.  $20 million of that goes to Colbert himself but he'll keep every penny of that.  Doesn't sound like the protestors object to that, but maybe they're paid to be here in the first place and Colbert isn't giving much away.

This is why I'm getting the impression that the left is starting to realize, consciously or otherwise, that they've hit the wall.  At least some of them know the saying about insanity doing the same things over and over to expect different results, and that's what the last six months of protests amount to.  If they want to block traffic, we already support cars driving them over, so they'll have to rely on their ability to persuade.  Most people ignore Colbert and CBS so that's not going to be easy anyway.

Just to be fair, it's probably relevant that we're in mid-f*cking-summer.  Sure the college students are sitting around doing nothing but it's hot out there.  You want to deal with global warming to have some protest when you could stay home and chat online about how horrible Trump is?  This is NYC, there are muggers out there!

The media is undergoing changes, which I don't pay enough attention to to understand.  So are the leftist elites, which I see a little more of.  Examples like this must make them wonder how much real support they have.  Whatever ratings his show gets, he needs the giant corporation to make it possible.  Whatever fans he has, they aren't doing anything to help him.  And vice versa.
